The Company reported net income of $15.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September30, 2017, compared to net income for the linked quarter of $16.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. The Company reported net income of $14.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September30, 2016.
"Management remains focused on our Four Key Objectives outlined in April 2016. In the third quarter of 2017, we delivered 7% year-over-year diluted earnings per share ("EPS") growth, 8% annualized linked quarter tangible book value growth, and delivered 40% of net earnings to our shareholders via a cash dividend, all while maintaining strong capital, liquidity, and asset quality. Annualized loan and deposit growth was 12% and 13%, respectively, for the quarter," stated William H.W. Crawford, IV, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. "As always, I want to thank our United Bank teammates for their relentless focus on serving our customers and communities."
Balance Sheet
Assets totaled $6.98 billion at September30, 2017 and increased $100.3 million, or 1.5%, from $6.88 billion at June 30, 2017. At September30, 2017, total loans were $5.21 billion, representing an increase of $151.6 million, or 3.0%, from the linked quarter. Changes to loan balances during the third quarter of 2017 were highlighted by a $28.5 million, or 3.6%, increase in commercial business loans, a $23.7 million, or 4.4%, increase in home equity loans, and a $13.1 million, or 3.1%, increase in owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Total residential mortgages increased during the third quarter of 2017 by $39.2 million, or 3.3%. Loans held for sale decreased $68.1 million, or 43.2%, from the linked quarter, as the Company delivered a large portion of the held for sale portfolio to third party investors at the end of the quarter. Total cash and cash equivalents increased $23.7 million, or 31.6%, from the linked quarter, while the available-for-sale securities portfolio remained relatively flat, with a slight decrease of $5.3 million, or 0.5%.
Deposits totaled $5.15 billion at September30, 2017 and increased by $159.5 million, or 3.2%, from $4.99 billion at June 30, 2017. In the third quarter of 2017, NOW checking deposits increased by $47.2 million, or 7.5%, from the linked quarter, while non-interest bearing checking deposits increased by $3.2 million, or 0.4%. Money market deposits increased by $160.1 million, or 11.8%, from the linked quarter. The increases in NOW and money market deposits are reflective of continued success in sourcing new commercial deposit relationships, coupled with the seasonal return of municipal deposits. These increases were slightly offset by a $34.7 million, or 2.0%, decrease in certificates of deposit.
Total Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $39.7 million, or 4.0%, over the linked quarter, while other borrowings decreased by $30.4 million, or 20.4%, due to a decrease in the use of reverse repurchase borrowings.
Net Interest Income
Income growth in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the linked quarter, was highlighted by an increase in net interest income of $440,000, or 0.9%, to $46.8 million, primarily attributable to an increase in interest income of $2.2 million, or 3.8%, to $60.8 million. Average interest-earning assets increased by $118.9 million, or 1.9%, primarily due to growth in average loan balances, which increased by $105.7 million, or 2.1%. Average loan balance growth was driven by a $57.7 million, or 2.7%, increase in average commercial real estate loans, a $25.7 million, or 2.0%, increase in average residential real estate loans, inclusive of loans held for sale, and a $11.0 million, or 1.4%, increase in average commercial business loans.
Interest expense increased by $1.8 million to $14.0 million during the third quarter of 2017, from $12.2 million in the linked quarter. Average balance shifts in the third quarter of 2017 included a $175.9 million, or 9.1%, increase in average NOW and money market deposits, and a $16.2 million, or 1.0%, increase in average certificates of deposit. The growth observed in average deposit balances was largely driven by continued success in new account acquisition strategies.
The non-GAAP tax equivalent net interest margin decreased by four basis points to 3.00% in the third quarter from the linked period. The decline was largely driven by duration extension decisions made in the period, resulting in an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The interest-earning asset yield improvement was largely driven by a seven basis point increase in the yield on commercial real estate loans, which represents 34.4% of the Company's interest-earning assets, a 13 basis point increase in the average home equity loan yield, and a 17 basis point increase in the average commercial business loan yield. The increase in the loan portfolio yield was further driven by increases in the 1-month LIBOR and Prime rate indices. The total funding cost increased by ten basis points to 0.91% in the third quarter driven by a ten basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which represents 80.1% of costing liabilities, while the cost of Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased 19 basis points.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses remained relatively flat, totaling $2.6 million at September30, 2017 as compared to $2.3 million for the linked quarter.Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September30, 2017 totaled $1.3 million, or 0.10%, as a percentage of average loans outstanding, as compared to $534,000, or 0.04% as a percentage of average loans for the quarter ended June30, 2017. Factors considered in the provision for loan losses include, but are not limited to, historical charge-offs, the composition of the portfolio, the current level of non-performing loans and charge-offs, local economic and credit conditions, the direction of real estate values and delinquency trends.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income decreased by $1.4 million, or 14.8%, to $8.1 million for the quarter ended September30, 2017 from $9.5 million in the linked quarter.The decrease in the third quarter's non-interest income was driven primarily by a decrease in service charges and fees and mortgage banking activities as compared to the linked quarter. Additionally, there were higher losses on limited partnership investments as compared to the linked quarter.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September30, 2017 totaled $34.9 million and decreased by $70,000, or 0.2%, from the linked quarter.The decrease in non-interest expense during the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in marketing and promotions and other expenses, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees, and occupancy and equipment expenses as compared to the linked quarter.
Asset Quality
Asset quality remained strong and stable for the period, with non-performing assets decreasing by $432,000 to $33.9 million at September30, 2017 from $34.3 million at June30, 2017. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets for the quarter ended September30, 2017 was 0.49%, as compared to 0.50% in the linked quarter.
Capital
The Company reported Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") of $570.5 million, or 8.3% of average assets, at September30, 2017. Tangible book value per share increased to $11.23 at September30, 2017 from $11.01 at June30, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of the Company's net income of $15.2 million, partially offset by the cash dividend payment to shareholders of $0.12 per share, which reduced stockholders' equity by $6.1 million. Book value per share at September30, 2017 was $13.59.
Dividend
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the Companys common stock of $0.12 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 27, 2017 and payable on November 8, 2017. This dividend equates to a 2.76% annualized yield based on the $17.38 average closing price of the Companys common stock in the third quarter of 2017. The Company has paid dividends for 46 consecutive quarters.

United Financial Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Dollars In Thousands) (Unaudited)
In addition to evaluating the Companys results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management periodically supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional perspectives on operating results, financial condition, and performance trends, while facilitating comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures, rather, they should be read and used in conjunction with the Companys GAAP financial information.
The efficiency ratio is used as a common measure by banks as a comparable metric to understand the Companys expense structure relative to its total revenue; in other words, for every dollar of total revenue we recognize, how much of that dollar is expended. In order to improve the comparability of the ratio to our peers, we remove non-core items. To improve transparency, and acknowledging that banks are not consistent in their definition of the efficiency ratio, we include our calculation of this non-GAAP measure.
Pre-provision net revenue is a measure that the Company uses to understand fundamental operating performance before credit related expenses and tax expense. It is often expressed as a ratio relative to average assets which demonstrates the core performance and can be viewed as an alternative measure of how efficiently the Company services its asset base.
Return on average tangible common equity is used by management and readers of our financial statements to understand how efficiently the Company is deploying its common equity.Companies that are able to demonstrate more efficient use of common equity are more likely to be viewed favorably by current and prospective investors.
The Company believes that disclosing these non-GAAP metrics is both useful internally and is expected by our investors and analysts in order to understand the overall performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate and define their supplemental data differently. A reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP measures and other performance ratios, as adjusted, are included on pages F-10 through F-12 in the following press release tables:
