In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This standard requires organizations to recognize right-to-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing requirements for leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. Leases will be classified as financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01 "Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842," ASU No. 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases," ASU No. 2018-11 "Targeted Improvements," ASU No. 2018-20 "Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors," and ASU No. 2019-01 "Codification Improvements." The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and has chosen to use that date as the effective date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the "package of practical expedients," which permits it to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. As part of the adoption
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new current expected credit losses model ("CECL") will apply to the allowance for loan losses, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, purchased financial assets with credit deterioration and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses." This amendment clarifies the scope of the guidance in ASU No. 2016-13. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments." This amendment clarifies the guidance in ASU No. 2016-13. These ASUs will become effective for the Company for interim and annual periods on January 1, 2020. Management is currently working through its implementation plan, including implementing a third-party vendor solution program. The adoption of these ASUs could result in a material increase to the allowance for loan losses. While we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these ASUs, management expects that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the loan portfolio's composition and quality, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.
As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL, the Company recorded a recovery of loan loss provision of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to a provision of $0.2 million for the comparable period in 2018 and a recovery of loan loss provision of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The recovery of loan loss provision recorded in the first quarter of 2019 reflects a general improvement in the Company’s historical loss rates used to compute the allowance not specifically allocated to individual credits and a modest decline in loans outstanding from December 31, 2018. Changes in the amount of the provision and related allowance are based on the Company’s detailed systematic methodology and are directionally consistent with changes in the composition and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company believes its methodology for determining the adequacy of its ALLL adequately provides for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and produces a provision and allowance for loan losses that is directionally consistent with changes in asset quality and loss experience.
Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income was $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $14.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company realized a security gain of $0.1 million due to the call of a security and $0.1 million of unrealized fair value gains on the Company’s equity securities compared to $0.3 million of unrealized fair value gains on the Company’s equity securities in the first quarter of 2018. Exclusive of these gains, non-interest income increased from $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2018 to $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2019. This increase was largely attributable to an increase of $0.6 million, or 14.7%, in bankcard revenues and an increase of $0.5 million, or 6.7%, in service charges, with $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, attributable to the acquisitions of Poage and Farmers Deposit. In addition, bank owned life insurance revenues increased $0.2 million due to death benefit proceeds received in the first quarter of 2019 and other income increased $0.2 million.
Non-Interest Expense: During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred an additional $0.3 million of acquisition and integration expenses associated with the acquisitions of Poage and Farmers Deposit. Excluding this expense, non-interest expenses increased $4.3 million (17.3% increase), from $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $29.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $2.0 million due primarily to the acquisitions of Poage and Farmers Deposit ($0.9 million) and annual salary adjustments ($0.7 million). In addition, other expenses increased $1.1 million, equipment and software related expenses increased $0.4 million and occupancy related expenses increased $0.3 million. These increases were primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Poage and Farmers Deposit.
