Tom Ray, CEO of Encore Bank, is pleased to announce that the Bank reported record operating performance for the first quarter. The bank eclipsed $400 million in assets during the quarter on the strength of $26 million growth in deposits. Compared to the prior year, loans are up an impressive $42.7 million or 17.2% to $293.8 million. The community bank’s loan to deposit ratio was at or above 80% for the third consecutive quarter.
For the first quarter Encore Bank reported a 44% growth in year over year net income up $159,000 to $522,000. A combination of top-line revenue growth and expense management accounts for the year over year improvement. Total assets increased from $377.7 million to $418.1 million.
Ray said, “Encore Bank continues to be well capitalized and we are now seeing the benefits of our larger loan portfolio, low funding costs and a customer centric approach to managing expenses. Top-line revenue improvement resulting from loan growth remains our primary focus for 2017.”
