Mark Hanna, President and CEO, commented "We are very pleased to announce third quarter earnings of $2.52 million, which is comparable to the same period last year and an increase of $828 thousand versus the second quarter . Growth in loans held for investment totaled $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $26.8 million year over year. Our net interest margin at 4.56% remains strong and continues to be driven by our strong loan to asset ratio.

Hanna stated, "On October 18, 2018 our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $.25 per share to common shareholders. Based on our most recent trade price of $34.14 per share this constitutes a 2.93% yield on an annualized basis.

(1) The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Tax equivalent interest income is calculated by grossing up interest income for the amounts that are nontaxable (i.e. municipal securities and loan income) then subtracting interest expense. The tax rate utilized is 21%. The Company's net interest margin is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine how profitable earning assets are funded. Because the Company earns nontaxable interest income from municipal loans and securities, net interest income for the ratio is calculated on a tax equivalent basis as described above.

(2) The efficiency ratio is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The efficiency ratio is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine operating efficiency. It is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the investment portfolio. The Company calculates this ratio in order to evaluate how efficiently it utilizes its operating structure to create income. An increase in the ratio from period to period indicates the Company is losing a greater percentage of its income to expenses.
