Management Commentary 

William D. Moss, Chairman, President and CEO, stated, “Our earnings performance was driven by a sustained trend of solid loan and deposit growth, which resulted in an 8.2% increase in net interest income and a 26.7% increase in net income. We reported annualized loan growth of 7.8%, predominantly in the commercial real estate,  construction and residential sectors, without altering our underwriting standards or engaging in pricing activities which we do not believe are sustainable. Although our loan growth was partially offset by unusually high prepayment activity during the quarter, originations were strong and we are encouraged with the quality of our pipeline, which will help support our loan growth in future quarters. Our annualized deposit growth remained solid at 6.8%, despite an increasingly competitive environment.”

Mr. Moss continued, “During the quarter, we improved our efficiency ratio while also implementing significant improvements to our banking platform, including state-of-the-art online and mobile banking systems, which can be found at our new website www.tworiver.bank. Our upgrades include new functionality for our website, real time alerts, and upcoming compatibility within additional digital wallet payment platforms. We believe that these ongoing improvements to the Bank’s technology infrastructure and business processes will enhance our customer experience and support the growth of our client relationships. The Company expects to leverage the use of technology while taking a measured approach in its branch management. Later this year, we expect to close our New Brunswick office as it has not met our long-term expectations, and will continue to focus on markets where we can optimize our branch network.”

Dividend Information
On October 17, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.055 per share, payable on November 28, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 7, 2018. This marks the Company’s 23^rd consecutive quarterly cash dividend payment.

2018 Third Quarter Financial Review

Net Income
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased 26.7% to $2.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, for the same period last year. The increase was largely due to higher net interest income and a lower loan loss provision coupled with a lower Federal corporate income tax rate.

On a linked quarter basis, third quarter 2018 net income increased 6.9% compared to the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher net interest income, a lower loan loss provision and lower non-interest expenses.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased 32.3% to $8.2 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to $6.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the same prior year period. For the first nine months of 2018, the Company recorded a $168,000 tax benefit related to the accounting treatment of equity-based compensation, as compared to a benefit of $177,000 for the same period last year.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $9.1 million, an increase of 8.2% compared to $8.4 million in the corresponding prior year period. This was largely due to an increase of $95.0 million, or 10.3%, in average interest-earning assets, primarily attributable to growth in the loan portfolio. On a linked quarter basis, net interest income increased $133,000, or 1.5%, from $9.0 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net interest income increased 12.0% to $26.9 million from $24.0 million in the prior year period.

Net Interest Margin
The Company reported a net interest margin of 3.55% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 3.59% in the second quarter of 2018 and 3.62% reported for the third quarter of 2017. The slight decline from the second quarter of 2018 was largely due to higher cost of funds.

The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 3.59%, compared to 3.52% in the prior year period, primarily due to higher yielding interest-earning assets, partially offset by a higher cost of funds.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 declined slightly to $1.4 million, compared to $1.5 million in the corresponding prior year period. This was largely due to lower residential mortgage banking revenues and gains on the sale of SBA loans, which was partially offset by higher other loan fees, primarily due to loan prepayment fees.

On a linked quarter basis, non-interest income decreased by $141,000, or 9.4%, from the second quarter of 2018, mainly due to lower gains on the sale of SBA loans and residential mortgage banking revenues.

The slowdown in residential lending activity was mainly due to the change in the mix of mortgage originations to more portfolio adjustable rate product versus saleable fixed rate mortgages, coupled with higher interest rates and tighter competition.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest income increased $45,000, or 1.1%, to $4.2 million from the same period in 2017.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 totaled $6.5 million, an increase of $286,000, or 4.6%, from the $6.2 million reported in same period in 2017. This was primarily due to salary increases, new hires within the lending and deposit teams, and higher data processing expenses. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 61.8% for the quarter, compared to 62.6% for the same period in 2017.

On a linked quarter basis, non-interest expense decreased by $90,000, or 1.4%, largely due to lower professional expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 6.7%, to $19.2 million compared to the same prior year period. Efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 improved to 62.0% from 64.1% compared to the same prior year period.

Provision for Loan Losses
During the quarter, a provision for loan losses of $150,000 was expensed, compared to $255,000 in the same prior year period. The majority of the third quarter 2018 provision was to support the Company’s continued loan growth. The Company also had $39,000 in net loan recoveries during the quarter, compared to $15,000 in net loan recoveries during the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a provision of $775,000 was expensed, compared to $855,000 for the same prior year period. The Company had $53,000 of net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $197,000 in net loan charge-offs for the same prior year period.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company's allowance for loan losses was $11.4 million, compared to $10.7 million as of December 31, 2017. The loss allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.26% at September 30, 2018 compared to 1.25% at December 31, 2017.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are "book value per common share," "tangible book value per common share," "return on average tangible assets," and "return on average tangible equity." This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors.
