$IDFB Peak Bancorp, Inc. Announces 3rd Quarter 2021 Results
Press Release | 10/28/2021
MCCALL, Idaho, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Peak Bancorp, Inc., (the Company) (OTC: IDFB), the holding company for Idaho First Bank (the Bank), today announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
The Company recognized net income of $1.29 million in the third quarter of 2021, bringing year-to-date net income through the first three quarters of the year to $4.59 million. Book value per share increased to $7.75 per share at the end of the quarter, compared to $7.48 at the previous quarter-end, and $6.62 the same time last year. Chairman Mark Miller noted, “The Board is proud of the team for producing these year-to-date results, and confident the momentum will continue through year-end.”
The Company’s loan portfolio ended the period at $421 million, which included $82 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. This represented growth in the loan portfolio – excluding PPP – of $19 million over the previous quarter, and growth of $106 million from Q3 2020. Deposits ended the quarter at $408 million which is an increase of $124 million from Q3 2020. “Our bank continues to grow as our talented team finds opportunities to expand in our vibrant local economies by providing a People First customer experience,” stated Todd Cooper, CEO.
Credit quality and portfolio performance both remain strong, and the bank continues to fund the allowance for loan loss to support the growing loan balances. At quarter-end the allowance was $4.5 million or 1.34% of loans less PPP balances. Chief Credit Officer Shannon Stoeger commented, “Proactively monitoring our borrowing relationships and maintaining our underwriting standards is key to the good portfolio performance to date.”

56Chevy, MCCALL, ID--(Marketwired - Sep 4, 2013) - Idaho First Bank (OTCQB: IDFB) reported it was notified by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Idaho State Department of Finance ("DOF") that the Consent Order dated February 10, 2010, between the FDIC, DOF and Idaho First Bank was terminated as of August 29, 2013.
Chairman of the Board, Mark Miller stated, "We are happy to receive this communication. We worked closely with the regulatory authorities during this difficult time and appreciate this recognition of the hard work by staff, management, and Board to improve the Bank's financial condition." He continued by saying, "We also appreciate the commitment by our shareholders and our customers for working with us during this time."
"The Bank, with the removal of the Consent Order, is in a position to capitalize on the improvements we have made during the recession. We are leaner, more efficient, and will continue to meet our clients' banking needs," said Greg Lovell, President and CEO. He further stated, "We have raised additional capital and exceed the regulatory definition of 'well-capitalized.' However, our continued goal is to achieve a ten percent Tier One Capital ratio."
The Bank will continue to operate under an informal agreement with the FDIC and DOF. The termination of the formal order however is a reflection of the improvement in financial performance and diligence by the Board of Directors and staff in addressing the terms of the Consent Order while providing high levels of client service to its customers.

Idaho First Bank Reports Mid-Year Results

Quote : 0.44 0.0 (0.00%) @ 5:01PM
Today Idaho First Bank (OTCQB: IDFB) reported financial results for June 30, 2013. The Bank reported net income of $206,000 for the first half of 2013, compared to net income of $39,000 in the same period last year. The quarterly net income for the second quarter was $100,000, down slightly from first quarter income of $106,000, but significantly higher than the $16,000 of income in the second quarter of 2012.
In the first six months of 2013 the Bank issued $1.6 million of new stock, significantly improving the Bank's capital position. In additional to the new capital already raised, the Bank is continuing its private placement offering to accredited investors with a goal of a 10% capital to asset ratio. At June 30, 2013, the capital to asset ratio was 8%. "We believe with this improved performance and the additional capital we have substantially improved the status of the Bank," stated Mark Miller, Chairman of the Board.
Comparing the first half of 2013 to the first half of 2012, the Bank achieved a 9% increase in net interest income. This was driven by average loan growth of 3% and an improving net interest margin. Mortgage banking income also contributed to the improved results. Mortgage banking income was almost up 77% from last year. "The performance of the loan portfolio is having a positive impact on our earnings. Lower problem loan levels have reduced the negative drag on earnings," stated Greg Lovell President and CEO. He further said, "We continue to emphasize the purchase market in our real estate lending. This helps to soften any loss of business from a slow down in the refinance market."
During the second quarter the Bank purchased the real estate of the Bank's main office in McCall. This purchase reduced significantly the cost of occupancy going forward. "We intend to lease out excess space and, to date, have been successful in implementing that strategy," stated President Lovell. A portion of the purchase price was paid in stock further increasing the capital of the Bank.
Nonperforming assets were $1.1 million at June 30, 2013, a decrease of 7% from the prior year. The allowance for loan losses was 1.37% of loans at June 30. Chief Credit Officer Jerry Jutting said, "We believe the worst of our legacy credits are behind us now and we have been adding quality core loans to our portfolio."
Idaho First Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank that opened for business in October 2005. Its headquarters are located in McCall, Idaho, with a loan production office in downtown Boise.

Today Idaho First Bank (OTCQB: IDFB) reported financial results for the first half of 2011. "The Bank has achieved its best performance during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Despite lower than anticipated loan volume we continue to see steady improvement in the operations of the Bank," stated Greg Lovell, President and Chief Executive Officer. Chairman Mark Miller added, "We still have progress to make and the Board and Management continues its diligent work towards achieving profitable operations during the remainder of this year."
The Bank reported a loss of $269,000 for the first half of 2011 compared to a loss of $1,405,000 for the corresponding period in 2010. The trend of reducing losses continued during the second quarter as the loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $126,000 compared to a loss of $143,000 in the first quarter of 2011 and a loss of $896,000 in the second quarter of 2010. The quarterly loss was the smallest loss in the Bank's history.
The year-to-year improvement came from improving credit trends resulting in a decline in the provision for loan losses, increases in mortgage banking income and reduced non-interest expenses. The provision for the first six months of 2011 was $210,000 compared to $1,000,000 in the first half of 2010. "We are pleased to see continuing improvement in our mortgage income and close management of our non-interest expenses. We believe that these areas, combined with improving credit portfolio indicators, will help the Bank to achieve sustainable profitability," stated President Lovell.
Nonperforming assets declined from $2.8 million at June 30, 2010, to $1.8 million at June 30, 2011. Greg Lovell, President of the Bank, commented, "We are gratified by the significant drop in nonperforming assets. We feel that the Bank has survived the worst of the economic crisis and that nonperforming assets can continue to improve." He cautioned however, "The on-going economic condition of our primary market continues under stress and could adversely affect future performance."
Stockholders' equity was $4.6 million at June 30, 2011, or 6% of assets. Book value per share was 57 cents per share. The Bank continues efforts to raise capital with a goal of capital reaching 10% of assets.
Idaho First Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank that opened for business in October 2005. Its headquarters are located in McCall, Idaho, with a loan production office in downtown Boise.
