Net income for the year endedDecember 31, 2019increased 0.72%, primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, and an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense, an increase in the provision for credit losses, and an increase in the provision for income taxes, compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2018. During the year endedDecember 31, 2019, the Company recorded a $1,025,000 provision for credit losses, compared to a $50,000 provision during the year endedDecember 31, 2018.

Return on average equity (ROE) for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 was 9.39%, compared to 10.07% for the year endedDecember 31, 2018.

non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 43.01% for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, compared to 41.48% for the year endedDecember 31, 2018.

Non-interest income for the year endedDecember 31, 2019increased by $2,981,000 to $13,305,000, compared to $10,324,000 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018, primarily driven by an increase of $3,885,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, and an increase in loan placement fees of $270,000, partially offset by decrease in gain on sale of credit card portfolio of $462,000, a decrease in service charge income of $230,000, and a decrease of $364,000 in other income.

Non-interest expense for the year endedDecember 31, 2019increased $1,032,000, or 2.29%, to $46,100,000 compared to $45,068,000 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018.

The increase in the information technology expenses was a result of the Company outsourcing its network maintenance and IT support during the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in the salaries and employee benefits as well as the directors’ expenses was primarily related to the change in the interest and discount rate used to calculate the liability for salary continuation, deferred compensation and split dollar plans which amounted to $1,720,000. There was a decrease in salaries and benefits excluding the salary continuation interest of $1,044,000. The decrease in regulatory assessments was the result of the Company receiving a portion of its small-bank assessment credit. The FDIC automatically applies small-bank assessment credits to offset regular deposit insurance assessments for assessment periods where the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) reserve ratio is at or above 1.38 percent.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $8,509,000 for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, compared to $6,620,000 for the year endedDecember 31, 2018. The effective tax rate for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 was 28.41% compared to 23.72% for the year endedDecember 31, 2018. The increase in the effective rate was a result of a decrease in tax-exempt interest.
