Bank of Santa Clarita Reports Continuing Growth in Earnings


Bank of Santa Clarita (BSCA) today announced that its earnings growth has continued, as net earnings for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $888,000, an increase of 2.4% over its earnings for the second quarter of 2018. The Bank also noted that net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $1,646,000, 11.5% greater than it recorded for the first half of 2018.

In reviewing operating results for the first half of 2019, the Bank reported $4,667,000 of net interest income, representing a growth of 2.7% over the first half of 2018. The Bank reported total net loans of $232.8 million at June 30, 2019, representing a growth of $10.2 million representing a 4.6% increase over the year-earlier total.

"We are pleased to report another quarter of record earnings, reflecting a healthy local economic environment and that, in spite of a challenging deposit growth environment, we continue to see the benefits from our efforts in building deeper relationships with our clients," noted Frank Di Tomaso, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

At June 30, 2019, shareholders' equity totaled $35.0 million and the Bank's total capital ratio was 14.96%, significantly in excess of the "well capitalized" level prescribed in the applicable capital regulations. The Bank also continues to maintain substantial liquidity positions, retaining significant balances of liquidity on its balance sheet as well as readily available collateralized borrowings and other potential sources of liquidity.
