Private Bancorp of America, Inc. Continues Strong Growth

LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (OTCQX:PBAM)

Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (“PBAM”) announced quarterly earnings today including the financial results of its subsidiary, CalPrivate Bank (“Bank”) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018.  PBAM continues to follow its strategy of organic growth and disciplined expansion in the coastal Southern California markets it serves.  Below are some highlights of the quarter and the year to date performance for the period ending September 30, 2018.

  • Total Assets were a record $749,962,000; up 6% over the prior quarter and up 27% year over year.
  • Net Loans were a record $576,903,000; up 9% over the prior quarter and up 29% year over year.
  • Total Deposits were $549,119,000; up 4% over the prior quarter and up 23% year over year.
  • Record Net Interest Income of $20,487,000 for the first nine months of 2018; up 25% year over year.
  • Record Quarterly Net Interest Income of $7,470,000 up 11% from the prior quarter and 30% for the same quarter a year ago.
  • Noninterest Income was a record $916,000 for the quarter and $1,754,000 year to date, primarily as a result of gain on sale of SBA loans.
  • Planned increases in Noninterest Expense resulted in costs of $6,357,000 for the quarter and $17,045,000 year to date.  The largest increase was in Salaries and Employee Benefits, up 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period of the prior year.
  • Net Income for the quarter was $1,098,000; up 27% from the prior quarter and down 6% year over year, reflecting our previously announced planned hiring and expense increases in Orange County, Los Angeles and SBA and an increase in provision for loan losses of $124,000, 33% over the prior quarter, reflecting the substantial growth of the loan portfolio. 

Thomas V. Wornham, President and CEO of PBAM commented “We are pleased with our team members’ ability to execute on our ‘organic growth’ plan, which, has allowed us to grow to $750 million in total assets and increase our Net Interest Income, Loans and Deposits to record levels.  We continue to focus on the long-term vision of being committed to investing today for tomorrow’s profits.  CalPrivate Bank is seeing the return on the additional hires in Beverly Hills and Orange County, as well as the expansion of our SBA Group and our Specialty Lending Division.  While the increase in operating expenses reflects the new hires and associated expenses and it generally takes time for them to produce, we could not be more pleased with the additions we have made.  The increase in loans has also resulted in a $665,000 year over year increase in loan loss reserves, which has further reduced net income.”

Rick L. Sowers, President of CalPrivate Bank noted “Our results reflect the positive contribution the team is making and our disciplined approach to growth. We continue to look for opportunities to add great people to our existing talented staff as we execute on our growth plan.”

Selwyn Isakow, Chairman of PBAM commented “We are delighted with the Bank’s growth and excited by our prospects.  We continue to take advantage of this unique window of opportunity, caused by the extensive M&A activity which has resulted in employee dislocations, allowing us to hire talented and proven bankers to fuel our organic growth strategy.  While this investment may negatively impact our bottom line for a few quarters, we expect significant returns in future years.  We remain focused on increasing long term shareholder value through an experienced dedicated team of professionals committed to providing the best solutions for our clients.”
