Pinnacle Bancshares Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2012

JASPER, Ala.--()--Robert B. Nolen, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB:PCLB), today announced Pinnacle’s results of operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012:

  • For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Pinnacle reported net income of $506,000, compared to $461,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
  • Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $1,803,000, compared with $1,896,000 in the same period last year.
  • For the year ended December 31, 2012, net income was $1,955,000, compared with net income of $1,236,000 in the prior year.
  • Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $7,374,000, compared with $7,817,000 in the prior year.
  • For the three months ended December 31, 2012, basic and diluted earnings were each $0.42 per share. For the same period in 2011, basic and diluted earnings were each $0.36 per share.
  • Basic and diluted earnings were each $1.59 per share for the year ended December 31, 2012. For 2011, basic and diluted earnings were each $0.97 per share.

Mr. Nolen commented: “Our strategy is to continue to provide high quality products and services to, and practice relationship banking with, our customers who live and conduct business in our market area. We focus on loan quality which should enhance our performance in a challenging environment. Although loan growth has been limited, our core deposits and asset quality ratios have remained strong, and we have conservatively managed our investment portfolio, which we expect will provide significant flexibility if loan volumes begin to increase.”

The Company’s net interest margin was 3.82% and 3.92% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, compared to 4.11% and 4.13% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

Other income remained stable. Fees and service charges declined slightly from 2011 to 2012 as rule changes implemented from the Dodd-Frank Act reduced certain fees Pinnacle charges. This was offset by gain on sale of loans held for sale as home mortgage production improved from 2011 to 2012.

Other expenses decreased $619,000 from 2011 to 2012. This was due to a $211,000 reduction in compensation and benefits from staff reduction, and a $136,000 reduction in net loss on sales of real estate. In addition there was an approximately $240,000 reduction in other expenses, primarily FDIC insurance, legal fees and supplies.

At December 31, 2012, Pinnacle’s allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 2.07%, compared to 2.13% at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans was 1018.00%, compared to 211.68% at December 31, 2011. Based on current real estate valuations, Pinnacle believes its allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $393,000 in 2012, compared to $1,315,000 in the prior year. Nonperforming assets were $548,000 at December 31, 2012, compared to $1,457,000 at December 31, 2011. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was .56% at December 31, 2012, compared to 1.39% at December 31, 2011. “The declining levels of charge-offs and non-performing assets reflect our continued efforts to address and resolve problem loan issues aggressively. These improvements allowed us to reduce the provision for loan losses to $200,000 in 2012 compared to $1,100,000 in 2011,” said Mr. Nolen.

Despite recent improvements, Mr. Nolen cautioned investors that economic conditions and financial stresses including job losses, have had and could continue to have an adverse affect on Pinnacle’s borrowers and their customers, which could adversely affect Pinnacle’s financial condition and results of operations.

Deterioration in local economic conditions in Pinnacle’s markets could drive losses beyond those which are provided for in the allowance for loan losses and result in a number of adverse consequences, including increases in loan delinquencies; increases in nonperforming assets; decreases in demand for Pinnacle’s products and services, which could affect Pinnacle’s liquidity position; and decreases in the value of the collateral securing Pinnacle’s loans, which could reduce customers’ borrowing power.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected.
