The net interest margin was 3.04 percent for the fourth quarter of 2011, a 5 basis point decrease from the previous quarter and an 11 basis point decrease from the same quarter last year. The net interest margin for the full year of 2011 was 3.13 percent, a 28 basis point decrease from 3.41 percent in 2010. The reduction in the net interest margin was largely the result of higher levels of liquidity, lower average loan balances, and lower interest rates which resulted in lower yields on loans and investments.

During the fourth quarter of 2011 the provision for credit losses was $2.2 million, or $4.8 million less than net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 2011 was $2.2 million, or $1.6 million less than net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses during the fourth quarter of 2010 was $5.3 million and equaled net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses for the full year of 2011 was $12.7 million compared with $55.3 million in 2010.

Noninterest income was $43.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $50.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $51.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. There were no significant noninterest revenue items in the fourth quarter of 2011 or the fourth quarter of 2010. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2011 included a $2.0 million contingent payment received from the sale of the Company’s proprietary mutual funds in 2010. The decline in noninterest revenue compared with the previous quarter is primarily due to lower debit card revenue resulting from implementation of the Durbin Amendment. Mortgage Banking revenue also declined compared to the prior quarters due to the Company’s decision to portfolio some saleable mortgages. Noninterest income for the full year of 2011 was $197.7 million compared with noninterest income of $255.3 million in 2010. Results for 2011 included $6.4 million in gains on the sales of investment securities compared with similar gains of $42.8 million in 2010. Excluding the securities gains, noninterest revenue declined in 2011 compared with 2010 primarily due to reduced overdraft fees.
