SANDUSKY, Ohio, Jan. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Civista Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: CIVB) ("Civista") reported net income available to common shareholders of $3.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with $2.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the prior year period. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, Civista reported net income available to common shareholders of $15.7 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared to $11.2 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015. Civista's 2016 twelve month performance included the second quarter receipt of a payoff on a non-performing loan which resulted in a credit provision of $1.3 million and additional interest income of $919 thousand. These two items approximated $1.5 million in income after-tax, or approximately $0.13 per diluted share.

"While 2015 was spent integrating and digesting an acquisition, 2016 was a year of organic growth and operational improvements. Our growth in the loan portfolio for the year was 5.4%. Our mortgage banking business produced a record for the most loans originated and sold. Asset quality continued to improve with a reduction in nonperforming assets of 11.8%. Noninterest income expanded 13.0% and noninterest expenses increased a mere 2.1%, which equals the inflation rate for 2016," said James O. Miller, Chairman, President and CEO of Civista.

Results of Operations:

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased $397 thousand, or 3.3% compared to the same period of 2015 and increased $2.9 million, or 6.0% in 2016, compared to 2015. For the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, an increase in average loans outstanding primarily contributed to the increase in interest income compared to 2015. Tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.05% for the fourth quarter, compared to 4.09% for the same period a year ago, and 3.93% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, compared to 3.96% in 2015. Net interest margin benefitted in 2016 by the impact of additional interest income recovered due to the payoff on a non-performing loan previously mentioned. The recovery resulted in approximately seven basis points of additional net interest margin.

No provision for loan losses was made for the fourth quarter of 2016 or 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the provision was a $1.3 million credit provision due to ongoing improvement in the loan portfolio and recognition of a $1.3 million recovery due to the pay-off of a nonperforming loan relationship. The provision for loan losses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015 was $1.2 million.

During the quarter, noninterest income totaled $3.1 million, which was essentially the same as the prior year's fourth quarter. Noninterest income totaled $16.1 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 13.0%, compared to 2015.

Service charge income decreased $103 thousand, or 8.4%, for the three-month period, but increased $124 thousand, or 2.6%, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015. Overdraft charges and consumer service changes were down in both periods while business service charges were up for the twelve-month period, primarily due to a new large customer relationship. Gain on sale of loans increased $191 thousand and $644 thousand for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, respectively. The increase in gain on sale of loans for both periods was due to additional volume of loans sold as well as an increase in the premium on loans sold. Wealth management fees increased $25 thousand for the three-month period, but decreased $145 thousand for the twelve-month period. Assets under management have increased $34 million during the year from $397 million at December 31, 2015 to $431 million at December 31, 2016. Average assets under management were $412 million and $422 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Tax refund processing fees increased $750 thousand in the twelve-month period due to a higher contract fee to compensate for an increase in the volume of refunds processed.

Noninterest expense totaled $10.7 million for the fourth quarter 2016, a decrease of $39 thousand, compared to the prior year's fourth quarter. Noninterest expense for the full year totaled $43.9 million, an increase of $911 thousand, or 2.1%, when compared to 2015.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense increased $372 thousand for the fourth quarter and $1.7 million for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2016. The increases in salaries, wages and benefits expense for both periods were due to an increase in employees, normal merit raises, an increase in incentives and insurance costs. Net occupancy and equipment increased $118 thousand and $422 thousand, respectively for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31 2016, due primarily to repair and maintenance, real estate tax and rent expense. Contracted data processing decreased $275 thousand for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016. Professional services decreased $300 thousand and $566 thousand for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016. The year-to-date decreases to data processing and professional services were partially due to expenses related to the acquisition of TCNB Financial Corporation in 2015 and partially due to expenses related to our shelf registration. Expenses included in the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 that were acquisition related approximate $390 thousand and those related to the shelf registration approximate $244 thousand.

The twelve month efficiency ratio was 63.7% during 2016 compared to 67.0% for 2015. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is due to the increase in net interest income, an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a modest increase in noninterest expense. During 2016 we received approximately $919 thousand in recovered interest income. The effect to the efficiency ratio was an increase of approximately 90 basis points.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $62.2 million, or 4.7%, from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, due primarily to loan growth of $54.0 million.

Total loans increased $54.0 million, or 5.4%, from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016. The increase in total loans is due to growth in our Commercial Real Estate - Non-owner Occupied, Commercial and Agriculture and Residential Real Estate loan portfolios. The increase in loans is due to the leveraging of existing client relationships and centers of influence, especially in our growing metropolitan markets. The current rate environment has allowed for continued growth in the Residential Real Estate loan balances across Civista's entire footprint.
