Year to date earnings are up 76.3 percent, which is an increase of $0.40 over the same period in 2020. The earnings improvement was driven by sharply lower provision for loan losses compared to 2020 and strong growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) activity, as well as ongoing fee income from the Bank’s PPP loans.\n\n“We are pleased to see that signs are continuing to point to an economic resurgence for our clients,” says President & CEO Craig Wanichek. “We continued to have strong loan activity during the third quarter. In addition, our relationship banking model is proving consistently valuable – we know our clients. We on-boarded several new significant relationships this year, which has resulted in the growth of core deposits and loans. Our bankers are out visiting with our clients to address their evolving needs as the economy returns to normal and demand for business financing grows.”\n\nTotal net loans as of September 30 2021, were $619.6 million, which includes $40.4 million of PPP loan balances. Net loans excluding PPP loans grew by $31.7 million or 5.8 percent during the quarter and by $97.2 million or 20.2 percent since September 30, 2020.
