OTCQB: PBNK - Pinnacle Bank, headquartered in Gilroy, California, announced today unaudited net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $2,453,000, compared to net income of $2,723,000 for the same period in 2023. The decrease in net income from the first quarter of 2023 reflects lower noninterest income, higher provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expenses exceeding higher net interest income.

Gross loans were $576.8 million at March 31, 2024, a new record and an increase of $48.6 million (9%) from the March 31, 2023 balance of $528.2 million. The allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2024 was $6.225 million or 1.09% of net loans compared to $5.732 million or 1.10% of net loans at March 31, 2023.

Total deposits at March 31, 2024 were $727.4 million, a 8% increase from $676.3 million at March 31, 2023 and a 2% increase from $714.7 million at December 31, 2023.

“Our markets continue to see good economic activity despite various challenges including higher interest rates and inflation. This quarter we saw loans grow to a new record as well as an increase in deposits. These achievements highlight the success of our approach to relationship banking and our high level of personalized service,” stated Jeffrey Payne, President and CEO. “We are honored to contribute to the success of our communities by providing premier business banking from Salinas Valley to Silicon Valley. We appreciate the ongoing efforts of our outstanding team of professional bankers, committed directors and advisors and our many loyal clients that contribute to our ongoing success and valued relationships.”
