York Traditions Bank Reports 3rd Quarter Earnings
YORK, Pa., Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- York Traditions Bank (OTC Pink: YRKB) reported net income of $1,252,000, or 44 cents per share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1,065,000, or 48 cents per share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. This represents a $187,000, or 18%, increase over the third quarter of 2017. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3,492,000 or $1.23 per share (diluted). This represents an increase of $1,068,000, or 44%, over the first nine months of last year. Book value per common share advanced to $17.49 at September 30, 2018.
"We are pleased to report our third quarter earnings," stated Eugene J. Draganosky, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We outperformed 2017 third quarter net income by 18% and our year-to-date earnings are 44% ahead of the prior year. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2018 is up $1,367,000, or 14%, due to a higher net interest margin and 6% year-over-year loan growth. Our third quarter margin, however, declined from the second quarter 2018 due to increasing competition for loans and deposits. Gain on sale of mortgage loans is down $132,000, or 4%, year to date due to higher interest rates and a shortage of housing in our markets. Loan quality remains strong with recoveries exceeding net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2018. This has allowed us to reduce our provision for loan losses by $203,000, or 48%, so far this year. We continue to recognize the benefit of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act enacted in late 2017. Our income tax expense fell $218,000, or 21%, despite our income before taxes increasing $850,000, or 25%. Loan and deposit growth remain satisfactory, increasing $20,688,000 and $22,466,000 respectively, during the last twelve months."
York Traditions Bank opened its sixth branch office, its first in York City, on September 4, 2018.
