$PFBC Preferred Bank reports Q3 EPS $2.46, consensus $2.37 Li Yu, Chairman and CEO, commented, "I am pleased to report our third quarter 2024 net income was $33.4 million or $2.46 a share. Highlights of the quarter include the successful reduction of $21.2 million in non-performing loans, with no charge-offs. Interest recovery related to this was $800,000. Criticized loans, however, have increased but we believe it may be temporary in nature. Separately, the OREO property is currently in escrow, scheduled to close later this month. The valuation allowance we recorded of $1.7 million is included in the quarter's non-interest expense."

$PFBC Preferred Bank reports Q2 EPS $2.48, consensus $2.39 Li Yu, Chairman and CEO, commented, "I am pleased to report Preferred Bank's second quarter net income of $33.6 million or $2.48 per fully diluted share. For the quarter, total loans grew $103 million or 1.95% on a linked quarter basis. Deposits also grew $77 million or 1.33% linked quarter. This quarter, total non-performing loans (NPL's) increased $22.2 million to $40.6 million as several previously criticized loans have changed from performing status to non-accrual status. This migration is typical in the process of problem loan resolution. We are confident that these NPL's are either fully-reserved or well-protected by collateral and cash flow. It is not likely that the resolution of these loans will present any significant impact to the Bank's future earnings. Criticized loans at June 30, 2024, decreased $13.0 million from the previous quarter-end and in-migration into this category seems to have slowed down. There was only one loan newly classified/criticized in the quarter. The loan was supported by adequate collateral value and cash flow with no loss exposure identified."
