FNB Bancorp (Bulletin Board: FNBG), parent company of First National Bank of Northern California (the “Bank”), today announced net earnings available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 of $1,207,000 or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $1,071,000 or $0.29 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012. Dividend payments on the preferred shares outstanding were made as required by the Treasury Department’s Small Business Lending (SBLF) Program and a $3,150,000 partial redemption of SBLF preferred stock was completed during the second quarter of 2013. Total assets as of June 30, 2013 were $901,488,000 compared to $748,750,000 as of June 30, 2012. Our net loans increased by $77,938,000 since June 30, 2012. During this same time frame, our deposits increased by $150,957,000 or 23%. At June 30, 2013, the Company had considerable liquid assets on hand of $281,422,000 in available for sale securities as well as $23,698,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

 

“During the second quarter of 2013, our island of Guam office was closed. This office was acquired by the Company in our acquisition of Oceanic Bank that was completed in September, 2012. Alternatives to closure of this branch office, such as a sale to another financial institution, either in whole or in part, were explored. After a considerable due diligence period, the Company was not able to find a suitable buyer and the office was closed on June 14, 2013. The Company intends to retain the loan relationships as well as the Certificate of Deposit customers through their maturity date, and will service these customers from our Battery Street, San Francisco location. Checking and savings deposit account holders will not be retained. Overall, the closure of the Guam branch office will allow the Company to concentrate our efforts on our operations in San Francisco and on the San Francisco peninsula. The consolidation of our Post Street office into our Battery Street office recently occurred during July, 2013. This action was taken in order to more properly align our cost structure with the low interest environment we find ourselves. The service levels in our branch offices are critically important to us and must be maintained. Any cost reductions that are implemented are done so only after due consideration of our customers and the customer experience,” stated Tom McGraw, Chief Executive Officer.

“Our investment portfolio and deposit portfolio experienced growth during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Our core deposit balances are at historical highs. Our loan portfolio declined during the second quarter of 2013, due primarily to the repayment of several large commercial real estate loans, yet our loan application pipeline has increased. With the recent uptick in the three, five and ten year U.S. Treasury yields, our loan prepayments are expected to slow during the third quarter of 2013 when compared to the second quarter of 2013. Overall, our assets and our deposits grew by 0.4% during the quarter, despite the closure of our office on the island of Guam. Our stockholders’ equity decreased during the second quarter of 2013, due primarily to the redemption of $3,150,000 or 25% of the outstanding Preferred stock – series C issued to the U. S. Treasury as part of their SBLF program. This was the first redemption we have consummated with the U.S. Treasury. As our capital base will allow, the Board has determined that additional redemptions of this type may be in the Bank’s best interest. The Oceanic Bank purchase has now been fully integrated into the operations of the Company. Management has taken steps designed to prudently reduce our future noninterest expenses through the consolidation of branch offices while at the same time keeping our focus on maintaining the highest level of customer service. We understand that we must meet or exceed our customers expectations relative to their banking experience with us. For 50 years, we have built our organization around the idea that we must earn our customers business,” continued CEO Tom McGraw.
