“We are pleased with our ability to integrate our acquisitions and continue to make good progress with our efficiency initiatives, both in revenue enhancement and in expense control,” commented George A. Makris, Jr., Chairman and CEO.

Loans

Total loans, including those acquired, were $2.7 billion at December 31, 2014, an increase of $333 million, or 13.8%, compared to the same period in 2013. Legacy loans (all loans excluding acquired loans) grew $311 million, or 17.9%. Acquired loans increased by $22 million, net of discounts.

Deposits

At December 31, 2014, total deposits were $3.9 billion, an increase of $163 million, or 4.4%, compared to the same period in 2013. Total non-time deposits totaled $2.9 billion, or 75% of total deposits.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $47.4 million, an increase of $7.8 million, or 19.6%, from the same period of 2013. This increase was driven by growth in the legacy loan portfolio and earning assets acquired through the Metropolitan and Delta Trust transactions. Net interest margin was 4.65% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, a 5 basis point decline from the same quarter of 2013. Included in interest income for both periods was the additional yield accretion recognized as a result of updated estimates of the cash flows of the acquired loans. Each quarter, the Company estimates the cash flows expected to be collected from the acquired loans, and adjustments may or may not be required. The cash flows estimate has increased based on payment histories and reduced loss expectations of the loans. This resulted in increased interest income recognized during the quarter on certain loans and interest income that is spread on a level-yield basis over the remaining expected lives of loan pools. The increases in expected cash flows also reduce the amount of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which are recorded as indemnification assets.
