PARKE BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES A 26.2% INCREASE IN SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, July 23, 2014 - Parke Bancorp, Inc. (“Parke Bancorp”) (NASDAQ: “PKBK”), the parent company of Parke Bank, announced its operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Parke Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders of $2.19 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.73 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 26.2%. Net income available to common shareholders year-to-date was $4.21 million or $0.70 per diluted common share, compared to $3.62 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase in net income of 16.5%.
The following is a recap of significant items that impacted the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter last year: a $850,000 increase in net interest income, primarily attributable to higher loan volume and lower deposit rates; a $180,000 increase in other fee income, primarily related to the collection of loan prepayment fees; a $845,000 increase in OREO expense which included a $500,000 loss reserve; a $101,000 decrease in professional fees; and a $122,000 decrease in other operating expenses, related to impaired loan expenses such as real estate taxes and insurance.
At June 30, 2014, Parke Bancorp's total assets increased to $819.26 million from $794.94 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $24.32 million, or 3.1%, primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Parke Bancorp's total loans increased to $658.40 million at June 30, 2014 from $654.54 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $3.86 million or 0.6%.
At June 30, 2014, Parke Bancorp had $33.15 million in nonperforming loans representing 5.0% of total loans, a decrease from $35.95 million at December 31, 2013. OREO at June 30, 2014 was $24.16 million, compared to $28.91 million at December 31, 2013. OREO consisted of 23 properties, the largest being a condominium development in Absecon, NJ, recorded at $10.12 million. An additional reserve of $500,000 was established against this property during the quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company disposed of 14 properties totaling $5.87 million, recognizing a gain of $250,000. Nonperforming assets (consisting of
nonperforming loans and OREO) represented 7.0% of total assets at June 30, 2014 as compared to 8.2% of total assets at December 31, 2013. Loans past due 30 to 89 days were $1.66 million at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $1.00 million from the previous quarter end.
At June 30, 2014, Parke Bancorp's allowance for loan losses was $17.46 million, as compared to $18.56 million at December 31, 2013. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 2.7% at June 30, 2014 compared to 2.8% at December 31, 2013. The decrease is due to continuing improvements in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans improved to 52.7% at June 30, 2014, compared to 51.6% at December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, Parke Bancorp's total deposits were $648.78 million, up from $626.80 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $21.98 million or 3.5%.
Parke Bancorp's total borrowings decreased to $64.10 million at June 30, 2014 from $68.68 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $4.58 million or 6.7%.
Total shareholders’ equity increased to $98.04 million at June 30, 2014 from $93.72 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $4.32 million or 4.6%, 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 generated strong core earnings in the second quarter, with a 26.2% increase while we remain committed to reducing our NPAs and delinquencies.

Enhancing shareholder value is a focal point of our Company and we are very proud that starting July 31, 2014, we will commence paying a five cents per share quarterly cash dividend. Parke Bank is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in an improving economy and banking environment. The hiring of additional staff for our lending team has enabled us to expand our lending footprint, which will support the growth of our loan portfolio. We still have work to do on reducing our troubled assets and the expenses associated with those assets, but we are headed in the right direction.”
