This negative provision was based primarily on notable improvement in the Bank's credit quality, recoveries recognized on the repayment of impaired loans, and improvements in the real estate markets in which the Bank operates.
Excluding the after tax impact of the negative loan loss provisions, net income for the year ended September 30, 2015, would have been $18,955,000 or $2.55 per share.
Also impacting the improved results was the continued growth in earning assets that contributed to increasing interest income, along with increasing volumes of loan sales that directly impacted the increases in non-interest income.
These increases in income were partially offset by increases in variable non-interest expenses that were directly attributable to the growth in loan origination volumes.
