ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- (Business Wire)
First National Bank Alaska’s (OTCBB:FBAK) net income for second quarter
2014 was $8.4 million or $25.97 per share. This compares to $7.7 million
or $23.79 per share for the same quarter in 2013. The improvement in
quarterly income is mainly due to improvements in loan interest and loan
fee income which increased $1.2 million over the same period in 2013, an
increase generated by growth in the bank’s loan portfolio. The loan
portfolio growth led management to fund an additional $0.5 million in
loan loss reserve to fortify the reserve against unexpected future
losses.
Non-interest income continues to be lower than second quarter 2013 by
$0.7 million due to market decreases in mortgage loan origination.
Non-interest expense improved by $0.9 million compared to the same
period in 2013 as a result of efficiencies gained which reduced bankcard
related expenses.
Year to date income as of June 2014 was $15.9 million, $0.3 million less
than the same period in 2013. The year-to-date average yield on earning
assets decreased 5 basis points to 3.41% from 3.46% for the same period
in 2013.
