LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (OTCQB:PBAM) (“Bancorp”), parent company of San Diego Private Bank (“Bank”), announced quarterly earnings of $1,076,000 in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $759,000 in the second quarter 2016 and $1,359,000 for the third quarter 2015. Net Interest Income continues to increase, $4,792,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $4,738,000 for the same period in 2015. Interest Income grew to $15,542,000 for the nine months ending September 2016 compared to $15,009,000 for the same period in 2015, reflecting the growth in earning assets. The three major factors contributing to the increase in year-over-year expenses for the nine months are:
- Increased cost associated with new holding company $366,000
- Increased loan loss reserves related to loan growth $402,000
- Investments in technology, compliance and new products $600,000
The decrease in Other Income reflects a reduction of SBA Loan sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The Balance sheet reflects record organic growth. Total Assets at September 30, 2016 were $498 million compared to $438 million at September 30, 2015 (13.6% increase) and $454 million at December 31, 2015 (9.7% increase for the nine months). Net Loans increased 18% in the year ended September 30, 2016 to $391 million and increased 10% for the nine months from December 31, 2015. Total Deposits increased during the quarter to $375 million at September 30, 2016, up over 14% from September 30, 2015 and 9.5% from December 31, 2015. The new Treasury Management products and enhanced deposit gathering team have helped drive deposits up, keeping pace with loan growth.
“We are very proud of our employees who have turned the investments we made in the first half of 2016 into effective tools for our customers. We believe that the enhanced platform, compliance and product investments we have made will continue to serve our customers and our shareholders well,” said Thomas V. Wornham, President and CEO. “New loan originations are up 55% for the first nine months of 2016 over the same period in 2015. We continue to remain committed to our traditional business lines while expanding our C&I portfolio which is up 22% year to date. Our credit quality remains strong as do all of our key leverage, capital and asset quality ratios.”
Bancorp Chairman Selwyn Isakow commented, “We are very pleased with the growth of the Bank and the positive revenue trends we see in the Bancorp. This quarter we will celebrate the tenth anniversary of our formation. Our Directors, Management and Employees remain committed to providing creative solutions for our clients while providing superior service to the individuals, families and companies we serve.”
