SANDUSKY, Ohio, Jan. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Civista Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: CIVB) ("Civista") reported net income attributable to common shares of $2.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $1.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the prior year period. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, Civista reported net income available to common shareholders of $11.2 million or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $7.7 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the same period of 2014.

"We have increased our 2015 diluted earnings per share by 38%. We completed the acquisition of TCNB Financial Corp ("TCNB") in the first quarter of the year. We have decreased our nonperforming assets 30%, increased our net interest income, slightly improved noninterest income, and reduced noninterest expenses as a percent of average assets," said James O. Miller, Chairman, President and CEO of Civista.

Results of Operations:

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $1.4 million, or 13.1% and $5.5 million, or 13.2%, for the twelve months ended December 31 compared to the same periods of 2014. Tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.09% for the fourth quarter and 3.96% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in net interest income for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was due both to an increase in average loans outstanding as well as a decrease in cost of funds. Interest and fees on loans was also positively affected by the payoff of two of loans that had been on nonaccrual status for significant period of time, which contributed $268 thousand to the fourth quarter and $549 thousand for the year. Mr. Miller continued, "We have maintained a core net interest margin at approximately 4.00% while keeping our asset duration under two years."

The provision for loan losses was $0 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, and $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in provision for loan losses for the twelve months of 2015 is due to improved asset quality.

During the quarter, noninterest income totaled $3.1 million, an increase of $288 thousand, or 10.1%, compared to the prior year's fourth quarter. Year-to-date noninterest income increased $404 thousand, or 2.9%, when compared to year-to-date 2014.

Service charge income increased in both the three and twelve-month periods, primarily due to an increase in business service charges, as well as service charge fees instituted in our Dayton market since the acquisition of TCNB. Gain on sale of loans increased $29 thousand and $447 thousand in the three and twelve-month periods, respectively due to additional volume of loans sold as well as an increase in the premium on loans sold. Trust fees decreased $70 thousand and $307 thousand for the three and twelve-month periods, respectively, due to a decrease in trust assets. Tax refund processing fees were down $324 thousand, or 13.9% when compared to the twelve months of 2014, due to a change in the fee structure for 2015.

Noninterest expense totaled $10.7 million and $10.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Year-to-date noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 3.4%, when compared to the twelve months of 2014.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense increased $266 thousand for the fourth quarter and $1.3 million for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015. The increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense was due to normal merit increases, the addition of TCNB employees, as well as a change to our 401k match expense. On January 1, 2015, the 401k plan was modified to a safe harbor plan which led to an increase in the company match. Contracted data processing and professional fees increased for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015 due to expenses related to the acquisition of TCNB. Overall acquisition related expenses included in the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 were approximately $374 thousand.

Mr. Miller continued, "We have discussed for some time that we have built a chassis that will accommodate growth. In 2015, a year in which we added three offices from an acquisition and a loan production office, our efficiency ratio decreased to 67.0% compared to 71.7% for 2014. Removing the acquisition related expenses for the year, our noninterest expenses only increased 2.5%."

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $101.4 million, or 8.4%, from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. This was due primarily to the acquisition of TCNB, which closed on March 6, 2015. Total assets of TCNB prior to the merger were $97.4 million, including $76.8 million in loans.

Total Loans increased $86.6 million or 9.6% from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The increase in total loans is primarily due to the acquisition of TCNB which added $76.8 million in loans.

Total deposits increased $83.1 million, or 8.6%, from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The increase in deposits was primarily due to the acquisition of TCNB, which included $86.9 million in deposits, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits.
