Total loans receivable, net increased $36.9 million, or 1.0%, to $3.73 billion at December 31, 2019 from $3.69 billion at September 30, 2019 due primarily to increases in total real estate construction and land development loans of $31.0 million, one-to-four family residential loans of $10.9 million and consumer loans of $3.1 million, offset partially by a decrease in total commercial business loans of $8.5 million.

Donald J. Hinson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “As a result of our strong capital position and earnings performance, we increased our regular dividend to $0.20 per share, which is an 11% increase from the first quarter 2019 dividend of $0.18 and a 33% increase from the first quarter 2018 dividend of $0.15. Although we did not repurchase any Company stock in the fourth quarter, we did repurchase 293,000 shares during 2019 and have approximately 640,000 shares remaining in the current stock repurchase plan. Our capital position gives us great flexibility in our organic growth, acquisition and capital management strategies."

Credit Quality
The allowance for loan losses decreased $347,000, or 1.0%, to $36.2 million at December 31, 2019 from $36.5 million at September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to net charge-offs of $1.9 million recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, partially offset by provision for loan losses of $1.6 million. Net charge-offs include commercial and industrial loan charge-offs of $1.3 million related to the agricultural industry, including $963,000 related to a significant lending relationship transferred to nonaccrual status during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Net charge-offs were $311,000 for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $595,000 for the same quarter in 2018.

Nonperforming assets increased to 0.82% of total assets at December 31, 2019 compared to 0.77% of total assets at September 30, 2019. The increase was due primarily to an increase in nonaccrual loans as a result of the addition of three commercial lending relationships totaling $6.5 million which showed increased signs of cash flow deterioration during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. One of the relationships is an agricultural business relationship of $4.7 million that was previously classified as a performing troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). The increase in nonaccrual loans was partially offset by net charge-offs related to nonaccrual loans of $1.2 million, including $963,000 due to the significant agricultural relationship discussed above.
Changes in nonaccrual loans during the periods indicated were as follows:

The increase in the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was unaffected by other real estate owned as the balance was $841,000 at both December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019.
Potential problem loans increased $2.5 million, or 2.9%, to $87.8 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $85.3 million at September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributed to the addition of seven commercial business relationships totaling $18.2 million which the Company downgraded to increase oversight of these credits. Of these relationships, one is a commercial and industrial agricultural lending relationship of $6.9 million that experienced cash flow shortfalls due to weather-related issues. The activity for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 also includes payment in full of three commercial and industrial relationships totaling $7.2 million.

The allowance for loan losses to loans receivable, net, decreased to 0.96% at December 31, 2019 from 0.98% at September 30, 2019. Included in the carrying value of loans are net discounts on loans purchased in mergers and acquisitions. The remaining net discount on purchased loans was $8.4 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $9.1 million at September 30, 2019 and $11.8 million at December 31, 2018.
The allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans decreased to 81.22% at December 31, 2019 compared to 87.97% at September 30, 2019. The decrease was the result of additions to nonaccrual loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 which did not require a proportional increase in the specific reserve based on the specific impairment analysis. The Company believes that its allowance for loan losses is appropriate to provide for probable incurred credit losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at December 31, 2019.

Operating Results
Net interest income decreased $1.1 million, or 2.2%, to $49.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from $50.2 million for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 due primarily to a decrease in the yield of interest earning assets as interest rates on adjustable rate instruments decreased following 50 and 25 basis point decreases in short-term market rates during the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Net interest income decreased $2.2 million, or 4.2%, compared to $51.3 million for the same period in 2018 due to a decrease in the yield of interest earning assets, primarily as a result of a downward shift in the yield curve since the fourth quarter of 2018 and a lagging increase in the cost of total interest bearing deposits.
Net interest margin decreased 19 basis points to 4.02% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from 4.21% for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 due primarily to decreases in loan yields. Net interest margin decreased 35 basis points from 4.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 due primarily to decreases in loan yields and secondarily due to a change in the mix of earning assets and increases in the cost of total interest bearing deposits. The change in the mix of earning assets (a lower ratio of higher yielding loans and investment securities as a percentage of total earning assets) had an unfavorable impact of four basis points on the net interest margin from the prior quarter.
Loan yield decreased 16 basis points to 5.00% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from 5.16% for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 due primarily to decreases in short-term market rates during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Of this decrease, two basis points was due to a change in impact of nonaccrual loan activity from the prior quarter. Loan yield was also impacted by higher than historical loan activity, both originations and prepayments, which occurred during the lower rate environment of the quarter ended December 31, 2019.
Loan yield decreased 25 basis points from 5.25% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 due primarily to lower short-term market rates during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Of this decrease, six basis points was due to a change in impact of nonaccrual loan activity from the same quarter in the prior year.
The impact on loan yield from incremental accretion on purchased loans decreased one basis point to 0.11% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from 0.12% for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 and decreased eight basis points from 0.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The decreases were primarily a result of the decrease in the balances of loans acquired in the mergers with Puget Sound Bancorp, Inc. and Premier Commercial Bancorp (the "Premier and Puget Mergers") both of which occurred in 2018. The incremental accretion and the impact to loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but it is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the purchased loans decreases.

As of the date of completion of each merger and acquisition transaction, purchased loans were recorded at their estimated fair value, including our estimate of future expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits. The difference between the contractual loan balance and the fair value represents the purchased discount. The purchased discount is accreted into income over the estimated remaining life of the loan or pool of loans, based upon results of the quarterly cash flow re-estimation. The incremental accretion income represents the amount of income recorded on the purchased loans in excess of the contractual stated interest rate in the individual loan notes.

See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section herein.
The yield on the aggregate investment portfolio decreased six basis points to 2.65% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from 2.71% for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 and decreased five basis points from 2.70% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 due to a decrease in market interest rates impacting adjustable rate securities.
The cost of total deposits increased one basis point to 0.39% during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from 0.38% during the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 and increased 10 basis points from 0.29% during the same quarter in 2018 due to competitive pressures.
The provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million, or 234.3%, to $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from $466,000 for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 due primarily to an increase in net charge-offs of $1.6 million to $1.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to net-charge-offs of $311,000 during the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019. The provision for loan losses increased $396,000, or 34.1%, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 due primarily to an increase in net charge-offs of $1.3 million, compared to net-charge-offs of $595,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The amount of provision for loan losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was necessary to increase the allowance for loan losses to an amount that management determined to be appropriate at December 31, 2019 based on the use of a consistent methodology.
Noninterest income increased $553,000, or 6.5%, to $9.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from $8.5 million for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 due primarily to an increase in interest rate swap fees. The Company also recognized other income in the amount of $230,000 related to the sale of of two branch properties and other fixed assets during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The increase in noninterest income was offset partially by decreases in gain on sale of investments and gain on sale of loans, net during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Noninterest income increased $566,000, or 6.7%, from $8.4 million for the same period in 2018 due primarily to increases in interest rate swap fees and gain on sale of loans, net, partially offset by a decrease in service charges and other fees.
Noninterest expense decreased $722,000, or 2.0%, to $36.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from $36.7 million for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 due primarily to a decrease in state/municipal business and use taxes expense as a result of an assessment recognized during the linked-quarter in the amount of $537,000 from a Washington State Department of Revenue Business and Occupation audit.

Noninterest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 3.4%, compared to $37.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Acquisition-related expenses incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were approximately $1.3 million, of which $657,000 was due to compensation and employee benefits expense. There were no acquisition-related expenses incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in noninterest expense was also due to a decrease in federal deposit insurance premium expense as a result of a small bank credit awarded by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The Bank has $518,000 in small bank credits on future assessments remaining as of December 31, 2019, which may be recognized in future periods when allowed for by the FDIC upon insurance fund levels being met.
Income tax expense was $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $3.6 million for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $4.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The effective tax rate was 16.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to 16.8% for the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2019 and 22.0% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to a change in the estimated current tax benefits from certain low income housing tax credit projects during the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains certain non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s capital reflected in the current quarter and year-to-date results and facilitate comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. Where applicable, the Company has also presented comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent management's current expectations and forecasts regarding future events, many of which are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. Actual results may differ, possibly materially, from those currently expected or projected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, include changes in the interest rate environment; changes in general economic conditions and conditions within the securities markets; legislative and regulatory changes; and other factors described in Heritage's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission-which are available on our website at www.heritagebanknw.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Moreover, any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this press release or the documents we file with or furnish to the SEC are based only on information then actually known to the Company and upon management's beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made which may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors described above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for 2020 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us, and could negatively affect the Company’s operating and stock price performance.
