“As our 2018 results demonstrate, NBT had a strong year. We achieved record net income for the sixth consecutive year and a new annual EPS record,” said NBT President and CEO John H. Watt, Jr. “This strong performance was delivered by a focused and aligned team across all lines of business. They concentrate on the fundamentals of our business, including low-cost deposit gathering, loan growth and strong asset quality, while continuing to grow our fee-based business, including the RPS acquisition in the second quarter. At the same time we continued to invest in enhancing the customer experience and digitizing our offerings. As we continue to grow the Company and build shareholder value, we were pleased to increase the cash dividend paid to shareholders on two occasions in 2018 for a combined increase of 13%.”
Net interest income for the year ended 2018 was $305.6 million, up $22.1 million, or 7.8%, from 2017. The fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin of 3.58% for the year ended December 31, 2018, was up from 3.47% for the year ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to asset yields increasing 24 basis points (“bps”), more than offsetting the 20 bp rise in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Average interest earning assets were up $320.1 million, or 3.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, driven by a $406.3 million increase in loans that was partially offset by a $81.4 million decrease in securities. Interest income increased $34.8 million, or 11.3%, due to the increase in earning assets combined with a 24 bp improvement in loan yields. Interest expense was up $12.7 million, or 49.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 resulting primarily from a 20 bp increase in rates on interest bearing liabilities driven by higher borrowing costs and a 14 bp increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits, combined with an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $173.0 million. The Federal Reserve has raised its target fed funds rate nine times from December 2015 through December 2018 for a total of 225 bps. During this same cycle of increasing rates, the Company’s deposit rates have increased by 15 bps, resulting in a full cycle deposit beta of 6.9%.
Net interest income was $78.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, up $1.3 million, or 1.7%, from the previous quarter. The FTE net interest margin was 3.61% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, up 4 bps from the previous quarter, as higher rates on average earning assets were partially offset by higher funding costs. Interest income increased $2.3 million, or 2.6%, as the yield on average earning assets increased 9 bps from the prior quarter to 4.14%, combined with an increase in average interest earning assets of $38.7 million, or 0.4%, driven by the increase in average loans of $36.8 million. Interest expense was up $1.0 million, or 9.1%, as the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 6 bps to 0.77% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, driven by interest-bearing deposit costs increasing 6 bps with increased short-term borrowings cost.
Net interest income was $78.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, up $5.4 million, or 7.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2017. The FTE net interest margin of 3.61% was up 9 bps from the fourth quarter of 2017. Interest income increased $10.3 million, or 12.8%, as the yield on average earning assets increased 30 bps from the same period in 2017, and average interest earning assets increased $338.2 million, or 4.0%, primarily due to the $347.9 million increase in average loans. Interest expense increased $4.9 million, or 71.8%, as the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 31 bps, driven by interest-bearing deposit costs increasing 23 bps combined with the increase in short-term borrowing costs.
Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $124.8 million, up $3.5 million, or 2.9%, from the same period in 2017. The increase from the prior year was driven by higher retirement plan administration fees and an increase in other noninterest income that was partially offset by net securities losses in 2018. Retirement plan administration fees increased due to the acquisitions of Retirement Plan Services, LLC (“RPS”) in the second quarter of 2018 and of Downeast Pension Services in the second quarter of 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company restructured the investment portfolio by selling $109 million lower yielding bonds and reinvesting the proceeds in higher yielding bonds, which resulted in a $6.6 million loss on securities sold. Other noninterest income in 2018 increased compared to the same period of 2017 due to non-recurring gains recognized in 2018. Excluding net securities (losses) gains, noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2018 would have been $131.1 million, up $11.7 million, or 9.8%, from the same period in 2017.
Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $25.9 million, down $7.4 million, or 22.3%, from the prior quarter and down $5.5 million, or 17.6%, from the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding net securities (losses) gains, noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 would have been $32.9 million, comparable to the prior quarter and up $3.3 million, or 11.0% from the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2017 was primarily due to higher retirement plan administration fees resulting from the acquisition of RPS in the second quarter of 2018 and higher other noninterest income due primarily to swap fees.
Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $264.6 million, up $18.9 million, or 7.7%, from the same period in 2017. The increase from the prior year was driven by higher salaries and employee benefits due to the retirement plan services acquisitions in 2018 and 2017, higher incentive compensation and wage increases for over 60% of our employees from the Company’s commitment to invest a portion of the tax reform benefit in our employees.
Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $68.9 million, up $2.4 million, or 3.6%, from the prior quarter and up $5.5 million, or 8.6%, from the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2017 was driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses primarily due to the RPS acquisition, wage increases related to tax reform initiatives and higher incentive compensation associated with business growth. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits due to an increase in medical costs, an increase in professional fees and advertising expense due to timing of initiatives and an increase in other noninterest expense. The increase in other noninterest expense was primarily due to the timing of contributions and $0.5 million in non-recurring items.
Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $24.4 million, down $21.6 million, or 46.9%, from the same period of 2017. The effective tax rate of 17.8% in 2018 was down from 35.9% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in income tax expense from the prior year was due to the lower effective tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), a $5.5 million tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily related to one-time income tax return accounting method changes during the fourth quarter of 2018, combined with the $4.4 million estimated non-cash charge related to the enactment of the TCJA in 2017 for the Company’s deferred tax assets due to the tax rate reduction. This was partially offset by a higher level of taxable income and lower tax benefit from equity-based transactions. Excluding the tax benefit from equity-based transactions, the tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the TCJA charge in 2017, the effective tax rate was 22.2% and 33.8% for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $0.7 million, down $7.8 million, or 91.4%, from the prior quarter and down $15.0 million, or 95.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2017. The effective tax rate of 2.5% for the fourth quarter of 2018 was down from 22.3% for the third quarter of 2018 and down from 47.1% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease in income tax expense from the prior quarter was primarily due to one-time income tax return accounting method changes during the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in income tax expense from the fourth quarter of 2017 was due to the lower effective tax rate resulting from the TCJA, and the income tax return accounting method changes during the fourth quarter of 2018, combined with the $4.4 million estimated non-cash charge related to the enactment of the TCJA in 2017 for the revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets due to the tax rate reduction. This was partially offset by a higher level of taxable income.
