FNB Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2017 Earnings o

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2017) - FNB Bancorp (NASDAQ: FNBG), parent company of First National Bank of Northern California (the "Bank"), today announced net earnings available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2017 of $3,351,000 or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $2,448,000 or $0.33 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2016.

During the second quarter of 2017, our net interest income was $11.4 million, an increase of $882,000 from the second quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average volume of our interest earning assets outstanding partially offset by a slight reduction in our earning rate when compared to the same period in 2016. 

"During the second quarter of 2017, the Company was able to grow our net loan portfolio by $1.3 million. Loan production was strong during the first half of the quarter, however, commercial real estate loan prepayments during June lowered our overall loan portfolio growth rate. During the quarter, our deposit balances decreased by $3 million, however, we were able to grow our non-interest bearing DDA account balances by $9 million. The growth in loans and the reduction in the overall deposit balances was funded by an increase in short term FHLB borrowings of $5 million. Net interest income was helped by the fact that the adjustable rate portion of our loan portfolio has begun to reset to higher yields, in response to increases to short term rates by the Federal Open Market Committee and increases in the short term LIBOR rates. The current low rate environment has put pressure on our net interest margin, but we have added enough interest earning assets at spreads that have allowed us to expand our net interest income at an acceptable rate. Our net interest margin was 3.93% for the second quarter and our increased earnings coupled with a flattening yield curve have allowed our capital base to increase by over $4 million during the quarter. We worked hard during the second quarter to improve our profitability while continuing to provide for our customers' needs and provide them with the products they want delivered in an efficient and effective manner," stated CEO Tom McGraw. 

"Our total non-accrual loans balance decreased by $1 million during the second quarter. This decrease was the result of management efforts to reduce the levels of our non-accrual loans. We utilize a conservative underwriting approach in our loan origination process which should serve to keep problem loans at acceptable levels as we work to prudently increase the size of our loan portfolio. There was a $140,000 recovery of provision for loan losses during the second quarter that was related to improving credit characteristics in our loan portfolio," continued Tom McGraw.
