what happened
U.S. community bank Oak Ridge Financial reported third-quarter earnings per share of $0.72, and its net income rose from a year earlier. According to Reuters, which relied on LSEG calculations and company filings, the gain came mainly from higher interest income.
The bank's net interest margin climbed to 4.33% from 4.18% a year earlier. Its provision for credit losses was $765,000 lower, which also helped the result. Non-interest income fell 29%, because the bank booked no profit from selling SBA loans this quarter, while such income was $380,000 a year ago.
why it matters
For markets, this is a report from a small regional lender, so its effect on broad indexes is limited. Still, the margin and reserve trends show how such banks are earning under current rates. The company also expects lower interest expense after redeeming subordinated debentures and says cutting nonperforming assets is its top priority.
