Robert B. Nolen, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: PCLB), today announced Pinnacle’s results of operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024:
- For the three months ended December 31, 2024, Pinnacle’s basic/diluted earnings per share was $1.15 as compared to $1.08 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $1,038,000 as compared to $981,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
- For the year ended December 31, 2024, Pinnacle’s basic/diluted earnings per share was $4.48 as compared to $4.93 per share for the year ended December 31, 2023. Pinnacle reported net income of $4,066,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to $4,480,000, for the year ended December 31, 2023.
- For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, return on average assets was 1.20%, and 1.18%, respectively, compared to 1.18% and 1.34%, respectively, in the comparable 2023 period.
Company’s net interest margin was 3.17% and 3.18%, respectively for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to 3.18% and 3.32% for both the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
At December 31, 2024, Pinnacle’s allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.78%, compared to 1.96% at December 31, 2023. Net charge-offs were $107,000 during 2024 and $102,000 for 2023. There were no nonperforming assets at both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Pinnacle was classified as “well capitalized” at the end of 2024. All capital ratios are higher than the requirements for a well-capitalized institution. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 18.97%. As of December 31, 2024, its total capital ratio was 20.05%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.09%.
Dividends of $.27 and $1.08 per share were paid to shareholders during the three months and year ended for both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity through its low loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2024, as well as available funding from outside sources. Our net funding availability, as a percentage of our franchise funding, is 102.67% as compared to our established minimal limit of 25%. In addition, the Bank provides access to additional FDIC insurance coverage for accounts that would otherwise exceed deposit insurance coverage. The Company’s total deposits at December 31, 2024 increased $6.8 million, or 2.2%, as compared to December 31, 2023.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation has caused a substantial rise in interest rates during 2023 and 2022 which has had a negative effect in the securities market. As a result of the increase in interest rates since 2022, the Company has recorded an accumulated other comprehensive loss on securities available for sale of approximately $28.7 million and $26.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Although these unrealized losses recorded as of December 31, 2024 were significant, management does not anticipate these losses to be other than temporary as these unrealized losses do not currently appear related to any credit deterioration within the portfolio but from higher interest rates.
Forward-Looking Statements
Information contained in this press release, other than historical information, may be considered forward-looking in nature and is subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected. Pinnacle undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in Pinnacle’s expectations. Certain tabular presentations may not reconcile because of rounding.
Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary Pinnacle Bank has seven offices located in central and northwest Alabama.
