PARKE BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES A 22.7% INCREASE IN QUARTERLY EARNINGS
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, April 22, 2013 - Parke Bancorp, Inc. (“Parke Bancorp”) (NASDAQ: “PKBK”), the parent company of Parke Bank, announced its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Parke Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders of $1.88 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to net income of $1.54 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 22.7%. The increase was due primarily to a $1.25 million decrease in the provision for loan losses. The following is a recap of other significant items that impacted the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter last year: a $144,000 decrease in net interest income primarily attributable to lower loan rates offset by a lower cost of deposits; a $103,000 decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans; a $364,000 loss on other real estate owned (“OREO”) compared to an $88,000 loss last year; increased compensation and benefits expense of $216,000 resulting from additional staff, salary increases and increased benefit costs.
At March 31, 2013, Parke Bancorp's total assets had decreased to $757.10 million from $770.48 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $13.38 million, or 1.7%, primarily due to a decline in cash and cash equivalents.
Parke Bancorp's total loans increased to $631.62 million at March 31, 2013 from $629.71 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $1.91 million or 0.3%.
At March 31, 2013, Parke Bancorp had $45.55 million in nonperforming loans representing 6.0% of total assets, a decrease from $47.55 million at December 31, 2012. OREO at March 31, 2013 was $25.91 million, compared to $26.06 million at December 31, 2012. OREO consisted of 31 properties, the largest being a condominium development recorded at $12.77 million. Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonperforming loans and OREO) represented 9.4% of total assets at March 31, 2013 as compared to 9.6% of total assets at December 31, 2012. Loans past
due 30 to 89 days were $6.57 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.86 million from the previous quarter.
At March 31, 2013, Parke Bancorp's allowance for loan losses was $19.86 million. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 3.1% at March 31, 2013 from 3.0% at December 31, 2012. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 43.6% at March 31, 2013, compared to 39.8% at December 31, 2012.
Parke Bancorp's total investment securities portfolio decreased to $20.96 million from $21.41 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $447,000 or 2.1%.
At March 31, 2013, Parke Bancorp's total deposits were $623.68 million, down from $637.21 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $13.53 million or 2.1%.
Parke Bancorp's total borrowings decreased to $43.81 million from $43.85 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $42,000 or 0.1%.
Total shareholders’ equity increased to $85.93 million at March 31, 2013 from $83.64 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $2.29 million or 2.7%, due to the retention of earnings.
Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parke Bancorp and Parke Bank, provided the following statement:
“We are pleased with our strong 23% increase in first quarter earnings. It is very important to note the improvement in the trends for non-performing loans, OREO properties and delinquencies. Although this is very positive, we have maintained our commitment to a prudent balance sheet by increasing our Allowance for Loan Losses to 3.1% of our total loan portfolio, up from 3% at yearend. We continue to incur increased expenses for our OREO portfolio due to the continued weak real estate market. However, we do see improvement as indicated in our improved position in our OREO properties and non-performing loans. Continued fierce competition from big banks for quality loans has made it difficult to grow our loan portfolio. However, with our strong earnings we continue to improve and maintain capital levels that are over $41 million in excess of Banking Regulators’ definition of a Well Capitalized Bank.”
