    AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK (OTCBB: AMBZ) today reported net income of $4.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, or $.53 per diluted share compared to net income of $3.7 million or $.48 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income with a reduction to loan loss provision commensurate with quarterly loan growth.

    Net interest income increased by $1.5 million or 10% to $17.4 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $15.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. This quarterly increase reflects the continuing shift from investment securities to loans.

    Total assets increased $223 million, or 16% annualized from year end December 31, 2017 to $2.1 billion. This was driven by an increase in deposits of $276 million, or 23% annualized growth from year end. Total loans increased $218 million to $1.1 billion, or 32% annualized growth from year end. This resulted in an increase in the loan to deposit ratio to 59% from 56% during the year. In the third quarter of 2018, the Bank grew loans by $45 million and deposits by $107 million. At September 30, 2018, non-interest bearing deposits represented 51% of total deposits.

    “The investment we made in hiring seasoned banking personnel in the fourth quarter of last year negatively affected earnings in the first half of the year. The increase in loan balances funded by core deposit growth since then has resulted in a return on average equity approaching 11% for the quarter,” said Leon Blankstein, ABB’s President, CEO and Director.

    Asset quality at September 30, 2018 remains excellent with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.06%, $1.4 million in non-performing loans, and no Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). The largest nonaccrual is fully secured by real estate. At the end of the quarter, the allowance for loan losses stood at $15.9 million, or 1.4% of total loans. For 2018 year to date, the Bank has had no charge offs.

    Net Interest Income increased due to an increase in average outstanding loans, a higher yield on loans and a low deposit beta for the current quarter over the prior quarter. The yield on average loans increased to 4.71% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 4.55% for the second quarter of 2018. The Bank recovered $86,000 in interest on a paid off nonaccrual loan; this benefitted the quarterly loan yield by .04%. The new loan production weighted average coupon was 5.11% in the quarter. The Bank’s core deposits continue to be a strength with the cost of deposits at 0.17% for the most recent quarter, an increase of only 3 basis points over the prior quarter. Thus, the net interest margin in the third quarter increased to 3.46% compared to 3.35% in the second quarter of 2018.

    Non-Interest Income decreased $324,000 quarter over quarter primarily as the Bank recorded a lower gain on sale of SBA loans of $342,000. This decline in SBA gain on sale is due to timing of fully funding before eligible for sale and a reduction in premiums.

    Non-Interest Expense increased $1.0 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2018 compared to the prior quarter. The increase in the third quarter was due to the increase in compensation and benefits. Employee total salaries have increased with a growth in the average number of employees between the two quarters, an increase in bonus expense commensurate with surpassing goals, and higher expense on deferred compensation tied to increases in the Bank’s stock price.

    From a year ago, total assets increased $344 million or 20%. This was driven by an increase in deposits of $333 million, or 21% over the twelve months. Total loans increased $260 million, or 30% from a year ago.

    Year to date net income is below last year due to the significant investment in a growth strategy as well as the one time charge in the first quarter of $979,000 in compensation and benefits. Full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2018 were 188, an increase of 45 employees or 31% higher than a year ago, but only 4 more than at June 30, 2018.

    “We believe we have turned the corner in reaching break even with the investment in staffing as the Bank realized a significant growth in net interest income in the quarter as well as the net interest income margin grew by 11 basis points,” said Karen Schoenbaum, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

    As announced in September, the Bank expanded into Riverside County with a new loan production office in Corona. “As a relationship bank, we are very pleased to have hired an experienced team of local bankers. Riverside County has been a growing market for American Business Bank, and we look forward to penetrating further in this dynamic region,” said Phil Feghali, Executive Vice President.

    AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK headquartered in downtown Los Angeles offers a wide range of financial services to the business marketplace. Clients include wholesalers, manufacturers, service businesses, professionals and non-profits. The Bank has opened six Loan Production Offices in strategic areas including our North Orange County Office in Anaheim, our Orange County Office in Irvine, our South Bay Office in Torrance, our San Fernando Valley Office in the Warner Center, our Riverside County office in Corona and our Inland Empire Office in Ontario.
