Total wealth management assets were $73.4 billion at March 31, 2016, up 1.6% for the quarter and up 30.3% compared to a year ago.

Income Statement and Key Ratios

Highlights

Strong Revenue Growth

Total revenues were $519.6 million for the quarter, up 22.8% compared to last year's first quarter.

Continued Net Interest Income Growth

Net interest income was $424.3 million for the quarter, up 21.9% compared to last year's first quarter, resulting primarily from growth in average earning assets.

Core Net Interest Margin

The Bank's net interest margin was 3.20% for the first quarter, compared to 3.10% for the prior quarter.

The core net interest margin was 3.14% for the quarter, compared to 3.02% for the prior quarter. The increase from the prior quarter was due to lower average cash balances, which were invested in loans and securities, and a 3 basis point increase in average contractual loan yields. (2)

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $95.3 million for the quarter, up 27.1% compared to the first quarter a year ago, which was primarily from increased wealth management revenues.

Efficiency Ratio

Noninterest expense was $319.2 million for the quarter, up 24.8% from the first quarter of last year.

The Bank's efficiency ratio was 61.4% for the quarter, compared to 60.8% for the prior quarter and 60.5% for the first quarter a year ago.

Income Tax Rate

The Bank's effective tax rate for 2016 is expected to be 24.0%, compared to 24.4% for 2015. The decrease in the effective tax rate results from the steady increase in tax credit investments, tax-exempt securities, tax-advantaged loans and bank-owned life insurance.

_________

(1) Beginning in 2016, due to the diminishing impact of purchase accounting, we will no longer present the following non-GAAP ("core") financial measures: net income, earnings per share, revenues, cost of average deposits, and efficiency ratio. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information. (2) Core net interest margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the positive impact of purchase accounting. See non-GAAP reconciliation under section "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Related to the Bank's re-establishment as an independent institution.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Due to the application of purchase accounting from the Bank's re-establishment as an independent institution, management has historically used certain non-GAAP (i.e., core) measures and ratios that exclude the impact of these items to evaluate our performance, including net income, earnings per share, revenues, yield on average loans, cost of average deposits, net interest margin and the efficiency ratio. However, because of the diminishing impact of purchase accounting, beginning in the first quarter of 2016, only the yield on average loans and net interest margin will be presented on a non-GAAP basis.

The accretion and amortization of the fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting from the Bank's re-establishment as an independent institution affect our net interest margin and yield on average loans as we accrete loan discounts to interest income and amortize premiums on CDs to interest expense.

We believe these two non-GAAP measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing our operating results and related trends. However, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, the measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the tables below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure:
