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 fourth quarter of 2013 of $1,880,000 or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $1,189,000 or $0.30 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012. Total assets as of December 31, 2013 were $891,930,000 compared to $875,340,000 as of December 31, 2012. Our net loan totals increased by $10,780,000 or 2% during the twelve months from December 31, 2012, and our deposits increased $5,263,000 or 1% during the same period. The Company’s liquidity position remains strong with $263,988,000 in available for sale securities and $5,543,000 in interest earning deposits with other financial institutions.

 

“During the fourth quarter of 2013, The Bank’s net interest income increased by $162,000 from the level achieved during the previous quarter. When you consider that our net loans declined by $5,821,000 during the quarter, our net interest income level remains pretty strong. New loan production during 2013 was near historical highs, but line usage by our customers of their credit lines remained muted and loan principal repayments were elevated well above the historical norm. All in all, for the full year ended December 31, 2013, the Bank added $10,780,000 in net loans and $5,263,000 in additional deposits. Considering that during 2013 we closed our office on the island of Guam, and consolidated three of our other branch office locations, we are pleased with these growth numbers. We are looking forward to expanding our Sunnyvale loan production office into a full service branch location during 2014. We believe our Sunnyvale location has significant growth potential, and the expansion of business conducted at this office will allow us to fully serve our customers in Sunnyvale and the surrounding Santa Clara county area,” stated Tom McGraw, Chief Executive Officer.

 

During the third quarter of 2012, FNB Bancorp acquired Oceanic Bank. The acquisition added approximately $103 million in new loans and $114 million in new deposits, and strengthened our presence in the San Francisco market. The transaction also allowed the Bank to record a bargain purchase gain of approximately $3.7 million. The full year 2012 statement of operations for 2012 includes the operations of Oceanic Bank from September 21, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

“During 2013, management made efforts to change the mix of our deposit portfolio. Our 2012 acquisition of Oceanic Bank brought brokered Certificates of Deposit onto our balance sheet in volumes that we had not previously experienced. At December 31, 2012, our brokered deposits totaled $15,651,000. By December 31, 2013, we had reduced our brokered deposits to $4,905,000. At the same time, we were able to add to our demand and NOW account totals and our savings and money market totals. These changes have placed the bank in a better position to manage our deposit portfolio should interest rates move significantly upward in the near term,” stated Tom McGraw.
