Unaudited results announced for third quarter 2018

(ANCHORAGE) First National Bank Alaska’s (OTCQX:FBAK) unaudited net income for third quarter 2018 was $15.9 million, or $5.02 per share. This compares to net income of $11.7 million, or $3.69 per share for the same period in 2017. Pre-tax income was $21.1 million for the quarter compared to $17.8 million for the third quarter in 2017.

Return on assets was 1.51 percent and return on equity was 11.29 percent, increasing from 1.19 percent and 8.56 percent, respectively, during the same period in 2017. Net interest and loan fee income for third quarter 2018 was $33.4 million, an increase of 5.6 percent from third quarter 2017. The efficiency ratio improved to 51.62 percent compared to 53.62 percent during the same period in 2017. Net gains on the sale of property no longer used for bank purposes, combined with improved net interest income and effective expense management, contributed to the improved quarterly income. Realized losses on the sale of investments were recorded under a repositioning strategy to improve total performance on securities and offset taxable gains. Pre-tax net gains from property sales and pre-tax realized losses from the sale of investments for the quarter were $4.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
