Net interest margin (the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets) is significantly affected by movements in interest rates and changes in the mix of earning assets and the liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.69% in 2011 compared to 3.59% in 2010, and 3.14% in 2009. The higher margin in 2011 reflects the decline in funding costs. Net interest income was $148.40 million for 2011, compared to $147.50 million for 2010. Tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $150.91 million for 2011, relatively flat from the $150.87 million reported for 2010.

The effective tax rate in 2011 was 34.69% compared to 31.80% in 2010, and 19.13% in 2009. The effective tax rate was higher in 2011 compared to 2010 due to a decrease in tax-exempt interest in relation to income before taxes. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2011 we reached a state tax settlement for the 2008 year and as a result recorded a reduction of unrecognized tax benefit in the amount of $0.84 million that affected the effective tax rate and increased earnings in the amount of $0.47 million. The effective tax rate was lower in 2009 compared to 2011 and 2010 due to a one time benefit of $2.60 million and an increase in tax-exempt interest in relation to income before taxes. The 2009 benefit was the result of a reduction in our tax contingency reserve due to the resolution of tax audits.
