NEWPORT, NH--(Marketwired - Feb 2, 2016) - Lake Sunapee Bank Group ("we," "us," "our" or the "Company") (
"We are pleased with the Company's performance in 2015. While controlling growth throughout the year as part of capital management in advance of our final SBLF redemption, which occurred during the fourth quarter, we were able to produce strong earnings and increase the dividends paid to our investors. On the lending front, we outperformed our origination projections and increased our sales to the secondary market, which provided additional revenue. Within the existing portfolio, we successfully reduced our nonperforming loans by over 60%," President and Chief Executive Officer, Steve Theroux, commented.
Theroux continued, "As we begin 2016, we continue to expand our position within our markets and emerging markets, particularly evidenced by our financial center opening in Concord, New Hampshire, scheduled for early this year. We believe our expertise within banking, insurance and wealth management will be a welcome asset to the market and will ultimately enhance the value of the franchise."

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $2.2 million, an increase of $14 thousand, or 0.65%, compared to the third quarter of 2015.

Interest and dividend income decreased $595 thousand, or 1.22%, to $48.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses
During the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized an increase of $595 thousand in the provision for loan losses compared to the third quarter of 2015 in part due to changes of the underlying assumptions and methodologies utilized for allowance adequacy. Net loan charge-offs were $304 thousand, or 0.11% (annualized) of average loans, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to net loan charge-offs of $344 thousand, or 0.11% (annualized) of average loans, for the third quarter of 2015. Provisions for loan losses, excluding those related to overdraft reserves, of $600 thousand were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2015. Provisions of $16 thousand, related to the overdraft reserves, were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2015.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, we recognized provision for loan losses of $1.1 million compared to $905 thousand for the same period in 2014. Net loan charge-offs were $1.4 million, or 0.11% (annualized) of average loans, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.
We believe our provisions are adequate for and reflective of the current portfolio composition, risk, and performance.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $4.4 million, an increase of $51 thousand, or 1.16%, compared to the third quarter of 2015. The increase reflects increases of $95 thousand in mortgage banking activities, $80 thousand in net gains on the sales of other real estate and property owned, and $37 thousand in trust and investment management fees, partially offset by fixed assets write-downs of $84 thousand related to the consolidation of two offices during the fourth quarter, losses on the sales of securities of $26 thousand as we extended our portfolio, and a decrease of $56 thousand in insurance commissions.
Noninterest income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2015 was $18.6 million, a decrease of $602 thousand, or 3.13%, compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $204 thousand in customer service fees, $603 thousand in gains on sales of securities, net, and $241 thousand in net losses on other real estate and property owned. We recognized write-downs in premises and equipment of $87 thousand related to the consolidation of two branches during the fourth quarter of 2015. Decreases were partially offset by increases of $428 thousand, or 49.20%, in mortgage banking activities and $149 thousand, or 1.79%, in trust and investment management fee income compared to the same period in 2014.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 decreased $219 thousand, or 1.86%, compared to the third quarter of 2015. The decrease included decreases of $49 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, $111 thousand in advertising and promotion, $27 thousand in outside services expense, $37 thousand in ATM processing fees expense, $23 thousand in supplies expense, and $18 thousand in amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by increases of $40 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense compared to the third quarter of 2015.

Income Tax Provision
Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 decreased $358 thousand, or 39.56%, to $547 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to the recognition of a low income housing tax credit during the fourth quarter. Our effective tax rate was 20.20% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Income tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 increased $34 thousand to $3.6 million compared to the same period in 2014. Our effective tax rate was 28.49% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2015.
Loans and Credit Quality
During the fourth quarter of 2015, loans increased $21.3 million, or 1.78%, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015 compared to September 30, 2015. The fourth quarter increase reflects increases of $1.2 million in conventional real estate loans, $2.4 million in home equity loans, $15.3 million in commercial real estate, and $9.4 million in commercial real estate and land loans, partially offset by decreases of $5.6 million in land and construction loans and $1.2 million in consumer loans.
