to $14.3 billion. We continued

FIRST QUARTER INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
Net income for the quarter ended March
31, 2019, was $66.7 million,
an increase of $2.9 million, or 4.5%,
compared to net income of $63.8
million for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings
per share for the quarter ended March 31,
2019, was $0.83 compared to
$0.78 for the same quarter a year
ago.
Return on average stockholders' equity was 12.57% and return on
average assets was 1.61% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to a return on average
stockholders' equity of 12.99% and a return on average assets of
1.65% for the same quarter a year ago.
Net interest income before provision for credit
losses
Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased
$8.0 million, or 5.9%, to
$143.3 million during the first
quarter of 2019, compared to $135.3
million during the same quarter a year ago. The
increase was due primarily to increases in interest income from
loans and securities, offset by an increase in interest expense
from time deposits.
The net interest margin was 3.70% for the first quarter of 2019
compared to 3.75% for the first quarter of 2018 and 3.77% for the
fourth quarter of 2018.
For the first quarter of 2019, the yield on average
interest-earning assets was 4.85%, the cost of funds on average
interest-bearing liabilities was 1.55%, and the cost of
interest-bearing deposits was 1.46%. In comparison, for the
first quarter of 2018, the yield on average interest-earning assets
was 4.42%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing
liabilities was 0.92%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits
was 0.81%. The increase in the yield on average interest-earning
assets resulted mainly from higher rates on loans. The net
interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on
average interest-earning assets and the cost of funds on average
interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.30% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2019, compared to 3.50% for
the same quarter a year ago.
Provision/(reversal) for credit losses
The Company did not record a provision for credit losses in the
first quarter of 2019 compared to a reversal for credit losses of
$3.0 million for the first quarter of
2018. The provision for credit losses was based on a review
of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses at
March 31, 2019. The following
table summarizes the charge-offs and recoveries for the periods
indicated:

Non-interest income
Non-interest income, which includes revenues from depository
service fees, letters of credit commissions, equity securities
gains (losses), wire transfer fees, and other sources of fee
income, was $12.9 million for the
first quarter of 2019, an increase of $7.6
million, or 143.4%, compared to $5.3
million for the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an
increase in the value of equity securities during 2019 of
$4.2 million compared to a decrease
in the value of equity securities during 2018 of $3.8 million.
Non-interest expense
Non-interest expense increased $10.0
million, or 16.4%, to $71.0
million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to
$61.0 million in the same quarter a
year ago. The increase in non-interest expense in the first
quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a $1.8
million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense,
a $1.3 million increase in marketing
expense, a $5.0 million increase in
amortization expense for investments in low income housing and
alternative energy partnerships and a $1.6
million increase in provision for unfunded commitments, when
compared to the same quarter a year ago. The efficiency ratio
was 45.4% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 43.4% for the
same quarter a year ago.
Income taxes
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 21.8%
compared to 22.8% for the first quarter of 2018. The
effective tax rate includes the impact of low-income housing and
alternative energy investment tax credits. Income tax expense
for the first quarter of 2019 was reduced by $0.5 million in benefits from the distribution of
restricted stock units.
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

March 31, 2019, an increase of
$281.6 million, or 2.0%, from
$14.0 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase was
primarily due to increases of $109.8
million, or 3.0%, in residential mortgage loans,

commercial mortgage loans, and $23.2
million, or 9.3%, in home equity loans, and were partially
