[{"type":"text","content":"Bedminster, N.J., Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC) (the “Company”) announces its third quarter 2021 results. This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Q3 2021 Investor Update (and Supplemental Financial Information), a copy of which is available on our website at www.pgbank.com and via a current report on Form 8-K on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded total revenue of $154.13 million, net income of $41.77 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $2.15 compared to revenue of $143.22 million, net income of $23.16 million and diluted EPS of $1.22, respectively, for the same nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The revenue improvement was driven by increased wealth management fee income, net interest income and gain on the sale of SBA loans, partially offset by reduced gain on sale of PPP loans. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded total revenue of $52.99 million, net income of $14.17 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.74, compared to revenue of $52.36 million, net income of $13.55 million and diluted EPS of $0.71, respectively, for the same three-month period ended September 30, 2020. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a $7.4 million gain on sale of PPP loans. The 2020 periods also included a much higher provision for loan losses than the 2021 periods, due to the environment in 2020 created by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to increased qualitative loss factors when calculating the allowance for loan losses. The September 2021 quarter included increased noninterest income (when excluding the $7.4 million gain on sale of PPP loans in 2020), principally record wealth management fee income and income from capital markets activities (which includes mortgage banking income, SBA loan income, and corporate advisory fee income) when compared to the same quarter in 2020. The September 2021 quarter also included a $1.35 million swap valuation allowance recorded in operating expenses related to an allowance for termination of a loan level, back-to-back swap on a commercial real estate loan placed on nonaccrual status.
