Year-to-date net income rose to $28.3 million in 2020, an increase of 146% from last year and representing a new high for the Company. Return on average assets for the year reached 8.55% compared to 4.47% in 2019 and return on average equity for the year was 60.72% compared to 35.63% in the prior year.

“We are pleased with the financial success that occurred during an unprecedented time in history that included significant economic distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Ryan Dempster, President and Chief Executive Officer. “There were many financial highlights during the year, including record earnings and mortgage originations, and good commercial loan and deposit growth. An equally rewarding achievement, however, was our ability to inject $25.9 million into our economy by participating in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, which helped save thousands of jobs and aid our economy during this challenging time in history.”
