Financial Highlights YTD

Total Assets grew 12% to $322 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $288 million at December 31, 2016.

Total Deposits grew 9% to $277 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $254 million at December 31, 2016.

Total Loans grew 12.5% to $243 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $216 million at December 31, 2016.

Net interest margin improved to 3.90% at September 30, 2017, which is a 22 basis point increase for the year.

Equity decreased to $43.4 million in the third quarter from $44.0 million as a result of posting the one-time expenses from the 2017 private placement capital raise. Tangible book value at September 30, 2017, is $7.11 per share.

”We are very pleased with the continued growth of our company and our strong financial performance. Though deposits grew by $5.2 million in the third quarter, we did not see corresponding asset growth in the third quarter due to paying off borrowings of $4.5 million during the quarter. During the first nine months of 2017, our lending team continued to produce quality loan relationships, which resulted in a 37% increase in overall loan production when compared to the same period in 2016. Our asset quality also continues to be very strong as our nonperforming assets to total assets ratio is just .05%,” said Laurence S. Bolchoz, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. ”Our new Greenville Loan Production office closed more than $7 million in commercial loans in their first quarter of operation, and we are excited about the positive impact they will have on our bank. The recent hiring of W. David Keller as our Midlands Market Executive will provide excellent leadership and significant growth potential in that market. The vibrant markets in South Carolina in which we operate continue to experience economic recovery which is a positive for our community bank as we focus on helping our customers achieve financial success,” Bolchoz said.
