    LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 16, 2014) - 1st Enterprise Bank ("the Bank") (OTCQB: FENB), an independent full-service commercial bank serving the Southern California business community, reported net income of $1.5 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. 

    Financial Highlights

    • Net income for the quarter ending March 31, 2014 was $1.5 million, a 27% increase over the prior quarter and a 48% increase over the prior year
    • Diluted earnings per common share were $.35 for the quarter, compared to $.28 in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $.24 in the first quarter of 2013
    • Total Assets grew by $74 million, from $702 million at March 31, 2013 to $776 million at March 31, 2014
    • Total Loans outstanding grew by $88 million, from $419 million at March 31, 2013 to $507 million at March 31, 2014
    • Total Deposits grew by $50 million, from $601 million at March 31, 2013 to $652 million at March 31, 2014
    • Income before taxes, loan loss provision and gain on sale of securities was $2.3 million for the quarter, a 16% increase over the prior year

    John Black, CEO, stated, "We continue to be very pleased with the Bank's earnings and asset growth. Once again I am excited to announce record quarterly earnings, as well as loan growth that exceed 20% over the last 12 months." Brian Horton, President, added, "This growth validates our customers' appreciation for the importance of relationship banking and is the result of the efforts of a very talented staff."

    For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net interest income before provision was $6.1 million, an increase of 17% compared to the first quarter of 2013 and an increase of 5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The year-over-year growth in net interest income was the result of both growth in earning assets and expansion in net interest margin. Earning assets were $704 million in the first quarter of 2014, an 8% or $51 million increase over the prior year. The net interest margin was 3.50% during the first quarter of 2014, compared to 3.23% for the prior year. The increase in net interest margin was the result of a .27% increase in the earning asset yield over the prior year. The growth in net interest income over the prior quarter was mostly the result of an increase in the net interest margin from 3.30% to 3.50%. This increase resulted from the yield on earning assets increasing by 0.20% from the prior quarter as loan balances grew from 68% of earning assets to 73% and the yield on investment securities increased by .26%. There was no provision for loan loss during the quarter, compared to a provision of $542,000 in the first quarter of 2013 and a provision of $710,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013. There were no loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2014 or the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to net loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2013 that totaled $349,000. As of March 31, 2014 there was one non-accrual loan that totaled $1.7 million.

    Non-interest income, excluding gain on sale, was $900,000 for the quarter, which was a 20% increase year over year, but declined by $124,000 sequentially due to lower loan related income. Growth in non-interest income from the prior year was generally due to increased deposit related fees. 

    Non-interest expense increased by $720,000 or 18% over the prior year and increased by $128,000 or 3% over the prior quarter. The year over year increase is mostly the result of continued investment in staffing levels to support current and future customer growth. The sequential increase in non-interest expense was due to a $112,000 increase in the Bank's off-balance sheet reserves due to growth in unused loan commitments.
