Fourth quarter and year-to-date 2022 highlights:
"We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results. Due to our strong core funding, our disciplined approach to pricing deposits and the rising interest rate environment, we had another quarter of net interest margin expansion. Our net interest margin improved 11 basis points over the linked quarter to 4.14%. In addition, loan growth for the quarter was strong and loans, exclusive of our VFG acquisition, grew by $151 million or at an annualized rate of 26%", said Dennis G. Shaffer, CEO and President of Civista.
Results of Operations:
For the three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
Net interest income increased $9.2 million, or 39.6%, for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Interest income increased $13.3 million while interest expense increased $4.0 million. Both increases were primarily due to increases in rates. Accretion of PPP fees was $38 thousand during the fourth quarter 2022 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2021.
Net interest margin increased 72 basis points to 4.14% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 3.42% for the same period a year ago. The increase in margin is primarily due to increases in the volume of earning assets and to the yield on earning assets.
The increase in interest income was primarily due to a $326.0 million increase in average earning assets, which led to a $7.1 million increase in interest income. Additionally, increased interest rates led to a 118 basis point increase in asset yield and a $6.2 million increase in interest income.
Interest expense increased $4.0 million, or 284.2%, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the same period last year. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 70 basis points, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $343.1 million. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was primarily in short-term borrowings to fund growth. The increase in the funding rate is primarily due to the issuance of $75 million, 3.25% subordinated debt in November 2021. Interest-bearing deposit costs have increased 21 basis points compared to a year ago.

Total Loans | $ 2,546,666 | $ 1,997,879 | $ 548,787 | 27.5 % |
Loan balances increased $548.8 million, or 27.5% since December 31, 2021, including the $167.5 million portfolio related to Comunibanc Corp and the $67.2 million portfolio related to VFG. The growth is partially offset by a $42.6 million decrease in PPP loans. Removing the balances in the portfolios related to Comunibanc, VFG and PPP loans, the loan portfolio increased $314.1 million or 15.7%. Commercial Real Estate grew across all categories except Farm Real Estate. Even with interest rates rising, there was consistent demand in both the Non-owner Occupied and Owner Occupied categories. The growth has come from all regions and continued to be exceptionally strong in our major metropolitan areas of Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Residential Real Estate has increased due to more need this year for the on-balance sheet products of residential construction loans, Jumbo Loans, and our Community View CRA product. Commercial and Agriculture loans continue to grow as we successfully onboard new Commercial & Industrial clients. Real Estate Construction increased as the construction demand remained steady and many of the projects are nearing completion.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $203.3 million, or 8.4%, from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022, due to the addition of the $203.3 million of deposits related to the Comunibanc deal.

Total Deposits | $ 2,619,984 | $ 2,416,701 | $ 203,283 | 8.4 % |
The increase in noninterest-bearing demand of $107.4 million was primarily due to $71.2 million of deposits related to the merger with Comunibanc Corp and a $29.4 million increase in cash balances related to the Company's participation in a tax refund processing program. Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $9.6 million, attributable to decreases in business and public-fund interest bearing demand accounts of $34.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by the increase in interest bearing demand deposits related to the Comunibanc merger of $36.3 million. Savings and money market balances increased $32.6 million, resulting from Comunibanc Corp balances of $79.4 million and increases in personal savings but partially offset by decreases in money market deposits of $35.5 million and brokered money market deposits of $19.1 million. Decreases in time deposits including accounts over $100K and public time deposits were partially offset by the addition of time deposits related to Comunibanc of $31.1 million combined with an increase in brokered time deposits of $90.0 million resulting in the overall increase of $73 million, year over year.
FHLB advances totaled $75.0 million at December 31, 2021. The entire outstanding balance was called in July. This was replaced by $3.6 million of term advances related to Comunibanc and to overnight advances of $393.7 million.
Stock Repurchase Program
During the twelve months of 2022, Civista repurchased 742,015 shares for $16.8 million at a weighted average price of $22.58 per share, including 392,847 shares repurchased under the previous authorization for $9.3 million. We have approximately $6.1 million remaining of the current $13.5 million repurchase authorization, which was approved in April 2022. In addition, Civista liquidated 5,403 shares held by employees, at $24.66 per share, to satisfy tax obligations stemming from vesting of restricted shares.
Shareholders' Equity
Total shareholders' equity decreased $20.4 million from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022, primarily due to a $66.9 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss caused by an increase in interest rates. The increase in other comprehensive loss does not impact our regulatory capital adequacy ratios. Shareholders' equity also decreased due to a $16.9 million repurchase of treasury shares. The decrease in equity was partially offset by a $30.9 million increase in retained earnings and a $32.4 million increase in common stock. The increase in common stock was primarily a result of shares issued related to the Comunibanc and VFG acquisitions.
Asset Quality
Civista recorded net recoveries of $118 thousand for the twelve months of 2022 compared to net recoveries of $783 thousand for the same period of 2021. The allowance for loan losses to loans ratio was 1.12% at December 31, 2022 and 1.33% at December 31, 2021.
