Financial Performance and Overview
Jeffrey V. Haley, President and Chief Executive Officer, reported, “We are pleased to report continued strong growth in our balance sheet. Over the past year, loans have
1
increased $230.7 million or 21.8%. In the past six months, loans have increased $123.9 million or 10.6%. We are very encouraged that active business development and improving local economic conditions are resulting in this high quality growth. However, the continuing challenge for us, in this hyper-competitive environment, is achieving reasonable risk adjusted yield on our lending.
“Loans require liquidity. Deposits have grown $164.5 million or 12.7% over the past year. In the past six months, deposits have grown $92.2 million or 6.7%. This growth is mostly in non-maturity, core deposits, the heart of our balance sheet. We continue striving to grow these core deposits and their affiliated relationships, but, like the asset side of the balance sheet, the challenge is to do that in a cost effective yet competitive manner. Our cost of interest bearing deposits for the second quarter was 0.52%, compared to 0.54% for the 2016 quarter.
“On the earnings side, net income for the second quarter was $4,279,000 compared to $4,088,000, an increase of $191,000 or 4.7%.
“Net interest income was up by $1,752,000 (14.4%) in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, driven primarily by growth in loans.
“Provision for loan losses was up $300,000 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the second quarter of 2016. The need for additional provision expense directly related to continued strong loan growth.
“Noninterest expense increased in the 2017 quarter by $1,055,000 (10.9%). The higher level of expense primarily related to our entry into two new markets in the fourth quarter of 2016.”
Haley concluded, “We are delighted with our balance sheet growth in loans and deposits over the past year. Slightly less than half our growth has been in our new markets, Roanoke and Winston-Salem. We expect growth will continue, but at a somewhat reduced pace. We acknowledge that rising interest rates and hyper-competitive market forces together will put continued pressure on our net interest margin. We are enthusiastic about our ability to manage these challenges and prevail in the community bank marketplace. American National Bank continues to be optimistic about the future of community banking.”

There was significant growth in loans outstanding in the second quarter 2017, a net of $68.7 million or 5.6%.
