Good day everyone and welcome to the Pacific Premier Bancorp Q2 2019 Conference Call. All participants will be in a listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions] Please also note today's event is being recorded.

And at this time, I would like to turn the conference call over to Mr. Steve Gardner of Pacific Premier Bancorp. Sir, please go ahead.

Steve Gardner -- Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Jamie. Good morning, everyone. I appreciate you joining us today. As you were all aware, earlier this morning, we released our earnings report for the second quarter of 2019. I'll walk through some of the notable items, Ron Nicolas will review a few of the financial details, and then we'll open up the call to questions.

I note that in our earnings release this morning, we have the safe harbor statement relative to the forward-looking comments. And I would encourage all of you to review those. We delivered another solid quarter of operating results, that reflects the execution on our strategic priorities for enhancing shareholder value, core deposit growth, proactive capital management, disciplined cost controls and strong asset quality.

This formula continues to produce consistent earnings and attractive risk adjusted returns for our shareholders. As a result of executing on these strategies priorities, we generated $38.5 million in net income, or $0.62 per diluted share for the quarter, while producing a return on average assets of 1.33% and a return on average tangible common equity of 15.16%.

One of the highlights during the quarter was our team's ability to generate strong core deposit growth. The deposit growth was from customer relationships based on the service and expertise we provide, not based on pricing offered. We have a number of deposit initiatives that are showing positive results, particularly with respect to the implementation of our API technology in our HOA business. Additionally, our continued investment in technology and people is enhancing the specialty deposit group's capabilities and our overall cash management service offerings, which is leading to greater market penetration.

As a result of these initiatives, we saw an increase in new client acquisition and an inflow in lower cost transaction accounts. We had 10% annualized deposit growth for our non-maturity deposits, which was a record setting $178.1 million in the quarter. Our ability to grow core deposits enabled us to reduce the balances of higher cost broker deposits and retail CDs and improve our overall deposit mix by the end of the quarter.
