Total non-interest expense increased $6.7 million, or 13.9%, to $54.8 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $48.1 million for the first quarter of 2008. The increase is primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in compensation and employee benefits expense, a $1.1 million increase in net occupancy expense, a $2.2 million increase in Federal deposit insurance expense and a $2.2 increase in other non-interest expense.
Total securities increased $1.72 billion to $24.67 billion at March 31, 2009 from $22.95 billion at December 31, 2008. The increase in securities was primarily due to purchases (including purchases recorded in the first quarter of 2009 with settlement dates after March 31, 2009) of mortgage-backed and investment securities of $1.75 billion and $1.30 billion, respectively, partially offset by principal collections on mortgage-backed securities of $699.1 million and calls of investment securities of $775.0 million.
Loans increased $669.4 million, or 2.3%, to $30.11 billion at March 31, 2009 from $29.44 billion at December 31, 2008 due primarily to the origination of residential first mortgage loans in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut and our continued loan purchase activity. For the first quarter of 2009, we originated $1.32 billion and purchased $723.3 million of loans, compared to originations of $820.4 million and purchases of $543.4 million for the first quarter of 2008. The origination and purchases of loans were partially offset by principal repayments of $1.35 billion for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $655.9 million for the first quarter of 2008. Loan originations have increased due primarily to our competitive rates and an increase in mortgage refinancing caused by market interest rates that are at near-historic lows. Our loan production has also benefited from decreased lending competition resulting from the absence of historically significant competitors that have not survived the current financial crisis. The increase in refinancing activity occurring in the marketplace has also caused an increase in principal repayments in the first quarter of 2009.
Borrowings amounted to $30.28 billion at March 31, 2009 as compared to $30.23 billion at December 31, 2008. The increase in borrowed funds was the result of $650.0 million of new borrowings at a weighted-average rate of 1.62%, largely offset by repayments of $600.0 million with a weighted average rate of 1.52%. Borrowed funds at March 31, 2009 were comprised of $15.18 billion of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) advances and $15.10 billion of securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Total shareholders equity increased $114.0 million to $5.05 billion at March 31, 2009 from $4.94 billion at December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to net income of $127.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and an $85.2 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income. These increases to shareholders equity were partially offset by cash dividends paid to common shareholders of $68.3 million and repurchases of our common stock of $40.7 million.

Highlight of Business Operations:
The provision for loan losses amounted to $20.0 million for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses reflects the risks inherent in our loan portfolio due to decreases in real estate values in our lending markets, the increase in non-performing loans, the increase in loan charge-offs and worsening economic conditions, particularly increasing levels of unemployment. Non-performing loans were $320.2 million or 1.06% of total loans at March 31, 2009 as compared to $217.6 million or 0.74% of total loans at December 31, 2008. The increase in non-performing loans reflects the current economic recession coupled with the continued deterioration of the housing market. Net charge-offs amounted to $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $469,000 for the first quarter of 2008. The conditions in the housing market are evidenced by declining house prices, reduced levels of home sales, increasing inventories of houses on the market, and an increase in the length of time houses remain on the market.Total non-interest expense increased $6.7 million, or 13.9%, to $54.8 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $48.1 million for the first quarter of 2008.
