Driven By Net Interest Margin

BALA CYNWYD, PA - - (Marketwired – October 24, 2017) - Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“Company”) (NASDAQ: RBPAA), parent company of Royal Bank America (“Royal Bank”), is pleased to report net income attributable to the Company of  $2.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $2.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  Excluding expenses directly related to the merger with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation of $254 thousand, net income attributable to the Company was $2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
 
Net income attributable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $7.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Excluding expenses directly related to the merger with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation of $659 thousand, net income attributable to the Company was $7.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
 
Kevin Tylus, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, "Our net interest margin, which increased 24 basis points from the comparable period in 2016, contributed to the positive results for the third quarter.  Credit quality remains strong as we have been able to reduce non-performing assets by 29% during 2017. While we move forward with our merger planning activities with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation, we continue to be equally focused on the daily operations of the bank and serving our customers.”
 
The merger with Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 24, 2017.  The merger is subject to certain additional closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. At this time, the merger has been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, one of the two required regulatory agencies.  The closing of the merger is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017, pending receipt of final regulatory approval.

·
