Core earnings per share improved to $0.70 from $0.69 for these respective periods. Quarterly results benefited from Berkshire's initiatives in 2019, including business repositioning strategies and completing an acquisition. Core earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes merger and restructuring charges, as well as results of discontinued operations.

- 3.11% net interest margin
- 53.7% efficiency ratio
- 0.17% net loan charge-offs/average loans
- 0.31% non-performing assets/assets
CEO Richard Marotta stated, "Berkshire's fourth quarter profitability measures were the best of the year. We completed the systems integration of acquired operations, further trimmed non-strategic assets, and reduced higher cost wholesale funds. Measures of liquidity, capital, and asset quality improved quarter-over quarter. Additional capital was returned to shareholders through stock repurchases and we are now announcing a 4% dividend increase beginning in 2020. Our shares produced a 26% total shareholder return for the year, based on the year-end stock price."
Mr. Marotta continued, "Our Be FIRST social responsibility commitment is at the heart of our efforts to transform our communities and future-proof the company. In November, we were recognized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with the 2019 Citizens Award, in the category of Top Corporate Steward- Small – Middle Market Business. Last week, for the first time, we announced our inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index highlighting our commitment to human capital management, diversity, and ensuring gender equality. We recently opened our first Reevx Labs, a community co-working space in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood. In these Labs, entrepreneurs and non-profits connect with peers to pursue their missions and access our MyBankers for support of their financial needs. I'm proud of the recognition that our teams are earning as we evolve our company with a focus on purpose driven performance."
Mr. Marotta concluded, "We are announcing that eight of our proven leaders have been promoted to the new position of Regional President to serve our eight regional markets. In this role, they will drive our market positioning, enhance our performance, and maintain active community leadership roles. Reporting to Bank President Sean Gray, they will lead our top priority efforts around our Be FIRST values and commitment to being a 21st century community bank."
DIVIDEND INCREASED
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per common share to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 17, 2020 and payable on February 28, 2020. This is a 4% increase compared to the prior $0.23 dividend per common share. This dividend equates to a 3.1% annualized yield based on the $31.35 average closing price of Berkshire's common stock during the fourth quarter of 2019. Effective for the same dates, the Board also approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend on preferred stock to $0.48 per share.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets decreased by $0.3 billion, or 2%, to $13.2 billion in the fourth quarter. The Company released targeted investments and loan balances in accordance with its strategic initiatives and its community focus. The sale of approximately $50 million of commercial aircraft loans was completed during the quarter, together with $30 million in other commercial balances which were held for sale at the previous quarter-end. Total deposits decreased by 1% primarily due to a decrease in retail time balances as interest rates declined. A $318 million year-end increase in payroll related balances offset a $256 million decrease in brokered time deposits. The measure of loans/deposits improved to 92% at year-end, the ratio of equity/assets improved to 13.3%, and the non-GAAP financial measure of tangible equity/tangible assets improved to 9.2%. Non-performing assets were 0.31% of total assets and accruing delinquent loans were 0.54% of total loans at year-end. The ratio of the loan loss allowance to total loans ended the year at 0.67% compared to 0.68% at the start of the year. Berkshire repurchased 815,628 common shares during the fourth quarter at an average price of $31.26 per share. Book value per share improved to $34.65 at year-end, increasing by 4% for the year. The non-GAAP financial measure of tangible book value per common share increased by 7% for the year to $22.56. Subsequent to year-end, 521,400 common shares were issued for the conversion of approximately half of the outstanding participating preferred shares in accordance with the contracted conversion terms. The common equivalent impact of these shares has previously been included in operating results per share.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fourth quarter GAAP earnings increased to $0.51 per share in 2019, compared to $0.31 in 2018. Core earnings improved to $0.70 per share compared to $0.69 for these respective periods. The non-GAAP measures of core earnings and earnings per share are reconciled to GAAP measures on pages F-9 and F-10 of the financial tables.
GAAP return on assets was 0.78% in the final quarter of the year, and GAAP return on equity was 5.9%. The non-GAAP financial measure of core earnings resulted in core ROA of 1.08%, and core return on tangible common equity of 13.1%. These core measures were the highest results for the year. The fourth quarter efficiency ratio improved to 53.7% in 2019 from 54.9% in 2018.
Many measures of revenue and expense, and average common shares, increased year-over-year due to the impact of the acquisition of SI Financial Group on May 17, 2019. Fourth quarter net revenue from continuing operations increased year-over-year by 6% to $115 million. The contribution from purchase accounting accretion decreased to $5 million from $8 million. Non-interest income in 2019 also benefited from seasonally higher loan sale gains on SBA loan originations and $1.4 million in gains on other commercial loan sales, as well as higher deposit related fees including the acquired SI Financial operations. The net interest margin decreased year-over-year by 30 basis points to 3.11% including a 13 basis point decrease in the contribution from purchase accounting accretion. The remaining decrease in the margin before accretion reflected the impact of lower interest rates on the Company's asset sensitive balance sheet, including increased prepayment activity. Other contributing factors included competitive spreads and recent changes in the Company's liquidity management. The fourth quarter provision for loan losses decreased year-over-year to $5 million from $7 million. Net loan charge-offs measured 0.17% in both of these periods, and the provision exceeded charge-offs in both periods.
Total fourth quarter non-interest expense decreased by 13% year-over-year due to lower non-core expenses. Core non-interest expense was essentially flat year-over-year, with most of the incremental cost of acquired operations offset by efficiency measures undertaken by the Company during the year. Core non-interest expense decreased by 3% compared to the linked quarter. Operations in the most recent period included a $1.4 million benefit from FDIC insurance expense rebates which were completed during the quarter. Full time equivalent staff in continuing operations totaled 1,550 positions at year-end 2019. Combined full time equivalent staff in continuing operations reported by both Berkshire and SI Financial totaled 1,769 positions at year-end 2018. The effective tax rate in 2019 declined from 2018 due to lower pre-tax income in 2019, along with other changes in the Company's operations. The full year tax rate declined year-over-year to 18% from 21%, and the fourth quarter effective tax rate declined to 13% from 19%. The core tax rate in the most recent quarter was 18%.
The total net after-tax adjustment to earnings for non-core items in the most recent quarter was $0.19 per share, including net charges of $0.14 from discontinued operations and $0.05 related to merger and restructuring charges, together with unrealized equity security gains. Discontinued operations comprise the Company's national mortgage banking operations which are held for sale. The Company recorded a fourth quarter pre-tax charge of $9.5 million for these operations, reflecting an operating loss due to seasonally lower revenue and a $4.5 million write-down of mortgage servicing rights at year-end. Fourth quarter mortgage banking fees totaled $7 million in 2019 compared to $6 million in 2018. Due to the decision to sell the FCLS operations, they are accounted for as discontinued in the financial statements, and most references to revenue and expense refer to continuing operations and exclude FCLS revenue and expense.

Headquartered in Boston, Berkshire operates 130 banking offices in seven Northeastern states, with approximately $13.2 billion in assets.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are several factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from expectations described in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of such factors, please see Berkshire's most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Berkshire does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures provide supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. They are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is included on pages F-9 and F-10 in the accompanying financial tables. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders.
The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude items which the Company does not view as related to its normalized operations. These items primarily include securities gains/losses, merger costs, restructuring costs, and discontinued operations. Merger costs consist primarily of severance/benefit related expenses, contract termination costs, systems conversion costs, variable compensation expenses, and professional fees. Merger costs in 2018 and 2019 are primarily related to the acquisitions of Commerce Bancshares Corp. and SI Financial Group. Restructuring costs generally consist of costs and losses associated with the disposition of assets and liabilities and lease terminations, including costs related to branch sales. Restructuring costs also include severance and consulting expenses related to the Company's strategic review. They also include costs related to the consolidation of branches, including two branches in the fourth quarter of 2019 and eight branches for the full year of 2019. Discontinued operations are the Company's national mortgage banking operations for which the Company is pursuing sale opportunities. In 2018, the Company recorded $8 million in charges related to the restructuring of banking systems vendor relationships. The Company recorded a $3 million cost in 2018 for the settlement of an existing legal proceeding with a plaintiff claiming to be representing a class of depositors. Non-core charges in 2018 also included a $1.5 million net charge related to the CEO transition.
Non-core adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense. This adjustment is determined as the difference between the GAAP tax rate and the effective tax rate applicable to core income. The efficiency ratio is adjusted for non-core revenue and expense items and for tax preference items. The Company also calculates measures related to tangible equity, which adjust equity (and assets where applicable) to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community. References to organic growth and organic change exclude balances acquired in bank mergers.
