PR Newswire - Wed Apr 27, 7:30PM CDT
Melanie Dressel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Banking System and Columbia Bank (NASDAQ: COLB) ("Columbia"
, said today upon the release of Columbia's first quarter 2016 earnings, "Our reported earnings were muted by the last of the Intermountain acquisition expense, increased provision expense and lower accretion income. In the near term, the current rate environment is challenging for organic loan growth to fully offset the runoff in accretion income. Aside from our reported earnings, we had some very positive outcomes in the quarter. These include the highest first quarter loan production we have ever achieved, continued growth during what is historically our slowest quarter for deposit gathering, and meaningful expense control." Ms. Dressel continued, "Despite the uptick in provision expense for the quarter, we remain confident in the overall quality of our loan portfolio."
