CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cambridge Bancorp (OTC QB: CATC) today reported unaudited net income of $3,878,000 for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $3,733,000 for the same quarter in 2015. The earnings increase of $145,000 (3.9%) was attributable to a combination of sustained growth in both net interest income and noninterest income offset by higher noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Diluted earnings per share were $0.97 for the first quarter of 2016 versus $0.94 for the same period in 2015.

“We are pleased to report another solid quarter,” noted Denis K. Sheahan, president and CEO. “The Bank continues to gain traction in executing its business plans as market conditions remained intensely competitive.”

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $13.1 million compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. The quarter-over-quarter net interest income increase of $634,000 (5.1%) was driven by continued loan growth in the commercial sector. Interest on loans for the first quarter of 2016 was $11.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million (9.3%) compared to the same quarter in 2015. Interest on investment securities remained flat for the comparable periods. The interest on loans increase for the quarter was offset by higher interest on deposits of $424,000 (88.0%) due to promotionally priced savings account initiatives. The Bank’s overall net interest margin decreased by eight basis points to 3.20% for the quarter compared to 3.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Noninterest income of $6.7 million for the March 2016 quarter was up $303,000 (4.8%) compared to the same quarter in 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2015 the Bank began to offer loan level derivative contracts to assist in the management of commercial loan interest rate risk. This new activity generated $370,000 in loan related derivative income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Deposit account fees increased by $103,000 (19.0%) compared to the same quarter in 2015.

The Bank continued to experience net growth in Wealth Management income, although the increase was dampened due to market volatility in the first quarter of 2016. Assets under management increased to $2.4 billion at the end of the first quarter 2016 compared to $2.3 billion at year-end 2015.

The increases in noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were offset by a reduction in gains on disposition of investment securities of $108,000 (23.9%) and lower gains on loans held for sale of $59,000 (49.2%) compared to the same period in 2015.

The Bank sustained the trend of growth in loans during the first quarter of 2016. Total loans outstanding increased by $26.2 million to $1.2 billion since year-end 2015 and by $120.5 million in comparison to March 31, 2015. Commercial mortgages showed strong growth for the quarter, with an increase of $36.8 million (7.2%). Residential mortgages decreased $13.1 million (2.4%) since year-end 2015 as overall production decreased and the Bank sold the majority of its production to the secondary market as a component of its overall interest rate risk management strategy.

Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans stood at 0.12% at March 31, 2016, unchanged from December 31, 2015. Loan quality remains sound and the Allowance for Loan Losses stood at $15.3 million or 1.25% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2016. At December 31, 2015, the Allowance for Loan Losses was $15.2 million or 1.27% of total loans outstanding. The provision for loan losses was $250,000 lower than the first quarter of 2015 in response to continued strong credit quality.

Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2016 totaled $14.0 million, an increase of $983,000 (7.6%) over the first quarter of 2015. The primary factors for the increase in noninterest expense was higher salaries and employee benefits of $621,000 (8.0%) as a result of strategic growth in the workforce and costs of benefits packages, higher occupancy and equipment of $210,000 (9.8%), and higher data processing of $75,000 (6.5%) as the Bank expands. The noninterest expense increase was offset by lower marketing expense of $125,000 (21.3%) quarter-over-quarter.

Total deposits grew by $61.1 million (3.9%) since year-end 2015. Total deposits, excluding brokered certificates, grew by $177.0 million (12.8%) since March 31, 2015.

Total assets at March 31, 2016 were $1.8 billion, an increase of $65.0 million (3.8%) from year-end 2015.
