CLARKSTON, Mich., July 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank (“Bank”), today reported a net income of $216,000 or $0.07 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $232,000 or $.07 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the corporation reported a net income of $467,000 or $0.15 per share compared to a net income of $512,000 or $0.16 per share for the same period in 2014. During the first quarter 2015 the Corporation returned to booking a provision for income taxes. The pre-tax net income was $704,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This represents an increase of $192,000 or 37.50% in pre-tax income year over year.
J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "During the second quarter we successfully completed the closures of two of our retail branch offices. In addition, we have further enhanced our retail electronic delivery channels to meet the needs of our customers and the changing demographic of potential new customers who demand electronic delivery channels. The cost savings associated with these two closures will enhance our profitability and will allow us to better serve our current and prospective customers. The fundamentals of the Bank remain strong; low loan delinquency, very little non-performing loans and an excellent net interest margin are the catalyst for continued positive operating performance.”
