During the third quarter of 2015, the Corporation recorded a $1.0 million provision for credits losses, compared to a $2.2 million provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2015.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, decreased $1.0 million, or 2.3 percent, in comparison to the second quarter of 2015. Mortgage banking income decreased $1.5 million, or 27.6 percent, due to decreases in both origination volumes and spreads on new loan commitments.
Gains on sales of investment securities decreased $685,000 in comparison to the second quarter of 2015. Gains in the third quarter of 2015 were primarily realized gains on sales of equity securities.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $6.5 million, or 5.5 percent, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2015. In the third quarter of 2015, the Corporation incurred a $5.6 million loss on the redemption of trust preferred securities. Excluding this loss, non-interest expense increased $909,000, or 0.8 percent in the third quarter, compared to the second quarter 2015. A number of other expense categories increased during the third quarter of 2015, most notably, other real estate owned and repossession expense, software and operating risk loss. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in occupancy and other outside services expenses.
During the first nine months of 2015, the Corporation implemented several cost savings initiatives, including the consolidation of eleven branches, the modification of certain retirement benefits and the elimination of certain positions. Annualized expense reductions from these cost savings initiatives are expected to be approximately $6.5 million. Implementation expenses associated with these initiatives were approximately $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, recognized primarily in the first and second quarters of 2015.
Share Repurchase Program
As previously noted, the Corporation's board of directors today approved the repurchase of up to $50 million of shares of the Corporation's common stock, or approximately 2.3 percent of the Corporation's outstanding shares, based on the closing price of the Corporation's common stock on October 19, 2015. This approval expires on December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2015, the Corporation had approximately 174 million shares of common stock outstanding.
As permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements and subject to market conditions and other factors, purchases may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, including without limitation, through accelerated share repurchase transactions.

FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
in thousands, except per share data and percentages
Explanatory note: This press release contains supplemental financial
information, as detailed below, which has been derived by
methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP"). The Corporation has presented these
non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these
measures provide useful and comparative information to
assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations.
Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is
consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its
performance internally and these non-GAAP financial
measures are frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties in the evaluation
of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in
addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to
evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should
recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these
non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to
similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-
GAAP financial measures should not be considered a
substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation
strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated
financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of
these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure follow:
