Patriot National Bancorp Achieves Profitability
Third Quarter 2011 Results Highlight Success of Turnaround Plan
Third Quarter 2011 Results Highlight Success of Turnaround Plan
Stamford, Connecticut November 9, 2011, Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Market
PNBK, Patriot), the parent of Patriot National Bank (Bank), today reported net income of
$255,500, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $7.2
million, or $0.19 loss per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and a net loss of $6.8 million, or
$1.43 loss per share, in the third quarter a year ago. Results were driven by the successful
design and execution of managements recovery plan.
Patriots return to profitability in the third quarter ends a 12-quarter history of negative
earnings, said Michael Carrazza, Chairman of the Board. Our recovery program, launched in
connection with our change of control recapitalization in the fourth quarter of last year, restored
profitability at Patriot in less than a year. Our tactical approach was targeted on high value
areas including management enhancements, asset quality, balance sheet optimization, process
improvements, cost control, and operating margins. While we have just edged into positive earnings
territory, the economic benefits from these initiatives are expected to be recurring and will be
further supported by loan portfolio growth.
In the first nine months of the year Patriot reported a net loss of $15.9 million, or $0.41 loss
per share, compared to a net loss of $11.3 million, or $2.38 loss per share, in the first nine
months of 2010. The 2011 results include the bulk sale of $66.8 million of non-performing assets
in the first quarter and $3.0 million of restructuring charges and asset disposals recorded in the
second quarter. Per share figures for this year reflect the 33.6 million shares issued in
connection with Patriots control recapitalization on October 15, 2010.
Third Quarter 2011 Highlights:
| Returned to profitability with third quarter net income of $255,500, or $0.01 per
diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.8 million, or $1.43 loss per share, in the
third quarter a year ago. |
| Third quarter net interest margin improved to 3.40%, compared to 3.16% in the preceding
quarter and 2.71% in the third quarter a year ago. The net interest margin expansion is
due to deployment of excess liquidity, checking account growth, and the reduction in high
cost interest rate sensitive deposits. |
| Non-accrual loans decreased to $21.8 million, or 4.7% of total loans at September 30,
2011, compared to $26.7 million, or 5.8% of total loans three months earlier. |
| Non-performing assets were $26.5 million, or 4.2% of total assets at September 30, 2011,
compared to 4.7% of total assets at June 30, 2011, and 13.8% of total assets at September
30, 2010. |
| Realized gains of $780,000 on the sale of investment securities during the quarter ended
September 30, 2011. |
| Non-interest bearing deposits of $56.7 million increased by $10.9 million, or 23.8%,
compared to the balance at September 30, 2010. |
| Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets of 15.82% for Patriot and 15.27% for the Bank. |

Asset Quality
Non-accrual loans decreased to $21.8 million, or 4.7% of gross loans at September 30, 2011,
compared to $26.7 million, or 5.8% of gross loans at June 30, 2011, and $101.5 million, or 17.1% of
gross loans, a year earlier. Non-performing assets, which consist of non-accrual loans and OREO,
declined to $26.5 million at September 30, 2011, or 4.2% of total assets, compared to $30.3
million, or 4.7% of total assets at June 30, 2011, and $108.9 million, or 13.8% of total assets, a
year ago.
We continue to make progress in reducing non-performing assets, with total non-performing assets
down 12.5% from the prior quarter and 75.7% below the same quarter last year, said Christopher
Maher, President and Chief Executive Officer. The third quarter marks the eighth consecutive
quarter during which we reduced total non-performing assets.
The $21.8 million of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2011 is comprised of exposure to 29 loans,
for which a specific reserve of $2.6 million has been established. Of these loans, borrowers on 7
loans with aggregate balances of $6.4 million continue to make payments and these loans are current
on payments within one month of schedule.
Due to the improved credit quality, a loan loss provision was not recorded in the third quarter
compared to $1.5 million in the preceding quarter and $5.0 million in the third quarter a year ago.
The loan loss provision in the first nine months of the year was $8.5 million, of which $6.0
million related to loans transferred to held-for-sale, compared to $6.3 million in the first nine
months of 2010.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $11.2 million, or 2.40% of gross loans, at September 30, 2011
compared to $11.4 million, or 2.46% of gross loans three months earlier and $17.1 million, or 2.89%
of gross loans a year ago.
Balance Sheet Review
Net loans were $453.1 million at September 30, 2011, $452.0 million at June 30, 2011, and $576.6
million a year ago. The loan pipeline is growing as the Bank is now focused on building new
relationships and growing the loan portfolio. At the end of September our pipeline totaled $81.7
million, said Mr. Maher.
Total assets decreased to $628.4 million at September 30, 2011, compared with $648.2 million at
June 30, 2011, and $787.8 million a year ago. Deposits totaled $507.7 million at September 30,
2011, compared to $524.5 million at June 30, 2011, and $691.0 million at September 30, 2010.
Non-interest bearing accounts totaled $56.7 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $45.8 million
a year ago, a year-over-year increase of 23.8%.
The continued decline in deposits was part of our planned strategy to reduce rate sensitive
deposits through a series of interest rate reductions, resulting in a lower cost of funds and
improved net interest margins, said Mr. Maher. We are having success in increasing our
non-interest bearing account balances, which is allowing us to reduce our reliance on higher cost
certificates of deposit.

Income Statement Review
Third quarter net interest income was $4.9 million, compared to $5.1 million in the third quarter a
year ago. Patriots interest income decreased 18% compared to the third quarter a year ago as a
result of lower average outstanding loan balances and high levels of overnight liquidity. Interest
expense decreased 41.4% compared to the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to the reduction of
total deposits and a significant improvement in the overall cost of funds. In the first nine
months of 2011, net interest income was $14.9 million compared to $17.0 million in the first nine
months of 2010.
As a result of the large decrease in interest expense, the net interest margin increased to 3.40%,
compared to 3.16% in the preceding quarter and 2.71% in the third quarter a year ago. For the
first nine months of the year the net interest margin was 3.12% compared to 2.98% in the same
period a year earlier.
Third quarter non-interest income increased substantially to $1.3 million compared to $637,000 in
the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to $780,000 in gains on sale of investment securities.
For the first nine months of the year, non-interest income increased 48.3% to $2.6 million compared
to $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2010.
As a result of implementing the 180-day recovery plan, which was disclosed in June and included the
consolidation of four branch locations, non-interest expenses were $6.0 million in the third
quarter, compared to $7.5 million in the third quarter a year ago. Salary and employee benefits
were down 11.0% and occupancy and equipment expenses were down 24.2% compared to the third quarter
a year ago respectively. In the first nine months of 2011, non-interest expenses were $24.9
million compared to $23.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The current nine month total
includes $3.0 million of restructuring charges and asset disposals associated with managements
turnaround plan.
