Dean Withers, President and CEO, commented “Our third quarter earnings for 2015 totaled $2.19 million, which is an increase of over 39.5% compared to 2014. We continue to achieve record quarterly earnings on the strength of our net interest margin and efficiency ratio.” Withers continued, “Loans held for investment increased 6.6% or $33.5 million in the past twelve months. Loans held for sale increased $39.4 million compared to the same period in 2014, fueled by lower secondary market interest rates and an improving real estate market.”
 
Withers stated, “The decrease in our non-performing loans and the sharp decline in charge offs has enabled us to reduce our provision for loan losses, while maintaining a healthy allowance for loan losses of 1.64%. We continue to experience improvement in our criticized asset ratio which further supports the reduced provision.” Withers continued, “On October 20, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.19 per share. Based on our most recent trade price of $24.00 per share, this dividend constitutes a 3.16% yield on an annualized basis. The dividend will be paid on November 16, 2015, to shareholders of record as of November 4, 2015.” Highlights of the company’s financial performance are included below.
