The Bank of Princeton Announces Second Quarter 2016 Results

Company Release - 7/29/2016

PRINCETON, N.J., July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bank of Princeton (the "Bank") today announced unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.

"In the second quarter, we continued to deliver consistent, high-level performance," said Edward Dietzler, the Bank's President.  He added, "We continue to be excited about the merger with Investors Bank and are moving forward to obtain the necessary approvals to close the transaction."

As of June 30, 2016, the Bank's total assets of $1.0 billion were relatively unchanged from December 31, 2015.  The $12.2 million increase in the Bank's loan portfolio was more than offset by the $18.6 million decrease in the securities portfolio.  Total deposits increased by $23.0 million while borrowings decreased by $38.8 million.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, net income was $3.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 9 percent, from the same period in 2015.  Basic earnings per common share were $0.64, compared to $0.60 in the same period in 2015.  Diluted earnings per common share were $0.60 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.58 for the same period in 2015.  Net interest income increased $0.6 million, while provision for loan losses decreased by $0.8 million over the prior year comparable quarter.  Non-interest expense and income taxes increased by $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, over the same comparable period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net income was $5.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 10 percent, from the same period in 2015.  Basic earnings per common share were $1.23, compared to $1.15 in the same period in 2015.  Diluted earnings per common share were $1.17 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.11 for the same period in 2015.  Net interest income increased $1.4 million while provision for loan losses decreased by $0.6 million over the prior year comparable period.  Non-interest expense and income taxes increased by $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, over the same comparable period.

Director Robert Ridolfi observed that, "The Bank's continued ability to maintain its net interest margin in a flattening yield curve environment is a result of disciplined loan pricing and a terrific accomplishment for The Bank of Princeton team."
