TEMECULA, Calif., Oct. 13, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Mission Oaks Bancorp (OTCBB:MOKB) reported record earnings in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005 after posting strong deposit and asset growth.
Mission Oaks Bancorp, whose principal subsidiary is Temecula-based Mission Oaks National Bank, said it earned a record $548,000, or 14 cents a share, in the third quarter up from the $324,000, or 8 cents a share, posted in the same quarter a year ago. Per share amounts were adjusted to account for a two-for-one stock split that was effective Sept. 1, 2005.
"It was a remarkable quarter in many respects," said Gary Votapka, Mission Oaks Bancorp president and chief executive. "Earnings reached an historic high despite the costs associated with opening our third full-service branch in Ontario."
During the third quarter, Mission Oaks National Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Mission Oaks Bancorp as part of a merger that was approved by shareholders and regulators.
The bank holding company structure makes it easier for Mission Oaks to raise additional capital, repurchase its own stock, borrow money, acquire other banks and non-bank entities and issue stock.
In the first nine months of 2005, Mission Oaks earned $1.4 million, or 35 cents a share, compared with $1 million, or 26 cents a share, in the same period a year ago.
Interest income in the quarter reached $2.2 million, up from $1.4 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Non-interest income reached $599,000, up 18.8 percent from $504,000 a year ago.
Assets in the 12-month period ended Sept. 30 2005, grew 32.3 percent, or nearly $35 million, to a record $142.7 million.
Net loans increased more than $15 million, or 20.6 percent, to a record $88.9 million. Total deposits increased by $32.5 million, or 35.4 percent, to a record $124.6 million.
Annualized return on average assets (ROA), a ratio of profit to assets, reached 1.51 percent, up from 1.25 percent a year ago. Annualized return on average shareholders' equity (ROE), a ratio of profit to equity, was 17.10 percent for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2005, up from 12.2 percent a year earlier.
More than 330 similarly sized U.S. banks reported an average ROA and ROE of 1.35 percent and 13.90 percent, respectively, according to a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. survey as of June 30, 2005.
