SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT— Merchants Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBVT) (the “Company”), the parent company of Merchants Bank, today announced net income of $3.6 million and $0.52 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017 compared to net income of $3.1 million or $0.45 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $3.5 million in net income or $0.50 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016. Excluding Community Bank System, Inc. merger costs, net of tax, the Company’s adjusted net income was $4.5 million or $0.66 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017. This compares to adjusted net income of $5.1 million or $0.73 per diluted share on a linked quarter basis and adjusted net income of $3.8 million or $0.55 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the return on average assets was 0.71% compared to 0.62% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and 0.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Income Statement:
· Taxable equivalent net interest income was $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2017, which represents an increase of $0.4 million over the linked quarter and an increase of $0.5 million over the same period in 2016. GAAP net interest income in the first quarter of 2017 was $14.2 million, compared to $13.9 million in the linked quarter and $13.7 million in the same period of 2016. The increases in GAAP net interest income over the linked quarter and the same period in 2016 were due to a growth in gross loans.
· Taxable equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2017 was 3.02%, an increase of 4 basis points over the linked quarter and was unchanged from the same period in 2016. The linked quarter increase reflected higher asset yields.
· Provision for credit losses was $500 thousand for the first quarter of 2017, compared to $200 thousand in the linked quarter and $205 thousand in the same period in 2016. The increase in the provision for credit losses over the linked quarter and the same quarter in 2016 primarily reflected new loan growth.
· Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2017 was $3.3 million, a decrease of $149 thousand over the linked quarter and an increase of $339 thousand from the same period in 2016. The decrease over the linked quarter is due to a decline in trust fees offset by a net gain on the sale of investment securities.

· Noninterest expense was $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared to $13.1 million in the linked quarter and $11.9 million in the same period in 2016. The decrease in noninterest expense over the linked quarter was due primarily to greater expenses incurred in connection with the pending merger with Community Bank System, Inc. during the fourth quarter of 2016. Adjusted noninterest expense (excluding acquisition, merger, severance and retirement costs) was $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $10.6 million in the linked quarter and $11.5 million in the same period in 2016.
· The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was 28% compared to 22% for the linked quarter and 23% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The increases over the linked quarter and the same period in 2016 were due primarily to an increase in estimated non-deductible merger expenses.

On October 22, 2016, Merchants Bancshares and Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE: CBU) entered into a definitive agreement under which Community Bank System, Inc. will acquire Merchants Bancshares in a cash and stock transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income, tangible capital ratio and fully taxable equivalent net interest income. Net interest income is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis, specifically included in interest income was tax-exempt interest income from certain tax-exempt loans. An amount equal to the tax benefit derived from this tax exempt income is added back to the interest income total, to produce net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis. Merchants Bancshares believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Additionally, capital ratios as presented are preliminary and will not be finalized until the Company completes and files its regulatory reporting.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

(1) The tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible equity by period end common shares outstanding. The tangible capital ratio is calculated by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets. See our non-GAAP reconciliation titled “Tangible Capital Ratio & Tangible Book Value per Share (Non-GAAP)” on page 7.
(2) Non-performing loans have been updated to exclude accruing troubled debt-restructured loans. Prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.
