At December 31, 2019, Pinnacle’s allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 2.07%, compared to 1.53% at December 31, 2018. The increase in the allowance was mainly due to the recording of $609,000 in provision for loan losses during the fourth quarter 2019. This provision was recorded after receiving a close-out payment of $599,000 resulting from the termination of a state-operated loan guarantee program during the fourth quarter of 2019.
At December 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans was 1362.66%, compared to 596.28% at December 31, 2018. Net charge-offs were $59,500 in 2019, compared to net charge-offs of $4,800 in the prior year. Nonperforming assets were $158,000 at December 31, 2019, compared to $269,000 at December 31, 2018. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was .15% at December 31, 2019, compared to .26% at December 31, 2018.
Pinnacle was classified as “well capitalized” at the end of 2019. All capital ratios are significantly higher than the requirements for a well-capitalized institution.
Dividends of $.19 and $.76 per share were paid to shareholders during the three months and year ended for December 31, 2019, as compared to $.11 and $.44 per share during the three months and year ended December 31, 2018.
