Non-performing assets were $148.1 million, or 0.82 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2016, compared to $155.9 million, or 0.87 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2015 and $163.5 million, or 0.94 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2015.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were 0.20 percent of total average loans, compared to 0.02 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and 0.08 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Corporation recorded a $1.5 million provision for credit losses, compared to a $2.8 million provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2015 and a negative $3.7 million provision in the first quarter of 2015.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, decreased $2.9 million, or 6.4 percent, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2015. Other service charges and fees decreased $1.9 million, or 15.2 percent, due to decreases in commercial loan interest rate swap fees and debit card income. Service charges on deposits decreased $351,000, or 2.7 percent, due to a decrease in overdraft fee income. Mortgage banking income decreased $287,000, or 6.6 percent, due to lower servicing income.

Compared to the first quarter of 2015, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $1.6 million, or 3.9 percent, due to increases in merchant fees, commercial loan interest rate swap fees, and other service charges and fees, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage banking income.

Gains on sales of investment securities increased $171,000 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2015, and decreased $3.2 million from the first quarter of 2015, which included gains from the sales of two pooled trust preferred debt securities in 2015.

Non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 1.7 percent, in the first quarter of 2016, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.9 million, or 6.0 percent, driven by seasonally higher payroll taxes and higher costs for certain benefits. Offsetting these increases were net decreases in multiple expense categories.

Compared to the first quarter of 2015, non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 1.6 percent, reflecting increases in salaries and employee benefits, data processing, and software costs partially offset by lower net occupancy expense, other real estate owned and repossession expense, equipment expense and professional fees.
