what happened
California community lender American Riviera Bank reported that its third-quarter net income grew 48% from a year earlier, to $4.3 million. Reuters reported the figures, citing the company's press release.
Loans rose 13.6% year over year, while deposits edged up just 0.2%. The net interest margin widened to 4.11% from 3.66% a year earlier, helped by steady gains in loan yields and a favorable cost of funds. The quarter also included $0.5 million of interest recovered on one non-accrual loan that was sold.
Management credited the record earnings to double-digit loan growth in its served communities. The company did not provide specific guidance for future quarters or the full year.
why it matters
For markets this is a local story, since the bank is small and unlikely to move the sector. The one-time interest recovery flattered the quarter, so it is worth accounting for when comparing with earlier periods.
