Pinnacle Bank Announces Earnings for Third Quarter of 2022

GILROY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–OTCQB: PBNK – Pinnacle Bank, headquartered in Gilroy, California, announced today unaudited net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 of $2,494,000, an increase of 55% compared to net income of $1,606,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and a 15% increase compared to net income of $2,170,000 in the quarter ended September 30,2021.

As of September 30, 2022, total assets were $781.2 million, an 8% increase from the $722.0 million at September 30, 2021.

Gross loans were $486.1 million at September 30, 2022, an increase of $41.2 million from the September 30, 2021 balance of $444.9 million. Gross Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans at September 30, 2022 were $0.4 million compared to $36.3 million a year earlier. Excluding PPP loans, gross loans increased $77.1 million or 19%. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2022 was $6.2 million or 1.30% of loans.

Total deposits at September 30, 2022, increased to $700.0 million from $647.1 million at September 30, 2021, an 8% increase.

Changes in the market conditions for government guaranteed loans, such as SBA 7a loans, have led to lower levels of noninterest income in 2022. Third quarter 2022 noninterest income was $807,000 and included gains on the sale of loans of $512,000 compared to the third quarter of 2021 noninterest income of $1,963,000 and gains on sale of $1,631,000. The decline in gains on sale of loans reflects lower levels of government guaranteed loan originations as demand was impacted by the return of the traditional SBA 7a program fees and increases in the prime rate. Gains on sale of loans for the third quarter of 2021 reflected higher loan origination volumes and higher prices paid by government guaranteed loan investors based on the temporary reduction in fees in the SBA 7a loan program that ended September 30, 2021.

“Loan growth continued in the third quarter as we again recorded double-digit growth in loans excluding PPP. Despite global business and economic challenges, our local markets remain strong,” stated Jeffrey Payne, President and CEO. “New clients continue to seek the premier business banking experience provided by our quality bankers. We are honored to contribute to the success of our communities from Salinas Valley to Silicon Valley. We appreciate the ongoing efforts of our outstanding team of professional bankers, committed directors and advisors and our many loyal clients that contribute to our ongoing success and continued momentum.”

The Bank’s capital position remains above regulatory guidelines for well capitalized banks. At September 30, 2022, the Bank had a total capital ratio of 13.28%. Book value per share at September 30, 2022 was $12.76.
