LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK (Bank) (OTCBB: AMBZ) today announced results for quarter ended March 31, 2017. Net income for the quarter was $3,557,000, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3,329,000, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Core earnings per share (which exclude the after tax effect of securities gains) were $0.50 for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $0.47 in 2016.
Total assets increased $77 million, or 4%, to $1.819 billion at March 31, 2017 compared to $1.742 billion at March 31, 2016. Total loans (net) increased $142 million, or 21%, to $821 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $679 million at March 31, 2016. Deposits remained unchanged at $1.551 billion at March 31, 2017. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased from $44 million at March 31, 2016 to $118 million at March 31, 2017.
Net Interest Income increased $1,486,000, or 12%, to $13,700,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 compared to $12,214,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2016.
Non-Interest Income declined from $1,375,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 to ($364,000) for the first quarter of 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a ($76,000) decline in realized securities gains and a ($1,135,000) “non-cash” charge related to the Deferred Compensation Plan resulting from an increase in AMBZ stock price.
Non-Interest Expense declined ($436,000), or 5%, to $8,612,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 from $9,048,000 for the first quarter of 2016. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in professional fees and promotional expenses.
Asset quality at the end of the first quarter remains excellent, with $2,151,000 in non-performing loans, representing 0.3% of total loans, and no OREO. At quarter end, the allowance for loan losses stood at $13,166,000, or 1.58% of total loans. For the quarter ending March 31, 2017 the Bank had a net recovery of $22,000.
