SUN VALLEY, Calif.,
May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- President & CEO Tamara
Gurney of Mission Valley Bancorp (parent company of Mission
Valley Bank) (OTCQX: MVLY) reports first quarter (March 31, 2015) earnings of $533,000 – the strongest first quarter in the
history of the Bank.
"I am pleased to report that Mission Valley Bancorp is off to a
solid start for 2015 reporting Net Income of $533,000 at March 31,
2015, up 48% from the record Q1 earnings reported for the
same period 2014. Steady progress was made across the board
throughout the first quarter as Total Assets surpassed $276 million from $268
million reported at March 31,
2014. To a great extent these improvements were fueled by
solid loan growth as Net Loans surpassed $189 million at quarter end, up 13% from
$167.5 million reported for
March 31, 2014. In turn, Total
Interest Income grew to $3.1 million
during the same period – up nearly 9% from the $2.85 million reported at March 31, 2014. Additionally, our
continuing steady improvement in asset quality precluded any need
for provision expense for the quarter."
Gurney continued, "Total Deposits grew more than $7.3 million, reaching $235 million at March 31,
2015 from the $228 million
reported for the same period in 2014. We saw Non-Interest
Bearing Deposits increase by more than $8.5
million, while Interest Bearing Deposits decreased by
$1.2 million. This shift in
deposit mix facilitated a 20% reduction in Interest Expense for the
same period year over year."
Gurney concludes, "Our Management and Board have taken bold
steps to streamline operations and maximize performance. The
results achieved during this first quarter of 2015 bear testament
that the actions taken are having a significant and positive impact
on the overall operations and performance of the company.
Despite the progress made, the lessons learned in recent years have
taught us to appreciate these successes while remaining ever
vigilant. Our team is focused on the future and is looking
ahead with the expectation of continued steady growth benefiting
our Bank, our communities and our Shareholders. Notably, in
March Mission Valley Bancorp paid the first ever common stock cash
dividend of $0.05 per share to all
shareholders of record as of March
16, 2015. Mission Valley continues to maintain its
Well Capitalized position with a Total capital ratio of 17.9% --
far exceeding the federal guideline of 10%."
