BankFinancial Corporation Reports Financial Results for 2020 and Will Host Conference Call and Webcast on Wednesday, February 3, 2021 - Seite 3

Mr. Gasior added that, “Despite the adverse impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and rapid changes in market conditions, we continue to believe that the actions we took in 2020 further enable us to achieve the asset generation that we need to meet our financial objectives. We will incur some additional expenses for personnel, marketing and technology to support these credit, business deposit and noninterest income generation activities, but we will seek to offset these costs as much as possible within our consistent operating expense discipline. As we progressively deploy our excess liquidity during 2021, we expect that the increases in income will accelerate our progress towards our financial return goals despite the challenging conditions.”
