ROCKY MOUNT, NC / ACCESSWIRE / February 3, 2020 / Ted E. Whitehurst, President and CEO of PB Financial Corporation (OTCQX:PBNC), the holding company (the "Company") for Providence Bank, announced today that the Company reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, of $1,733,759 compared to $1,667,029 for the same period in 2018, an increase of 4.00%. For 2019, net income was $7,124,414 compared to $5,693,105 for 2018, an increase of 25.14%.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company reported total assets of $478.3 million compared to $451.5 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of 5.95%. Total deposits were $354.3 million and gross loans were $387.2 million at the end of 2019, compared to total deposits of $349.0 million and gross loans of $355.2 million at the end of 2018, increases of 1.52% and 9.02% respectively.
Whitehurst commented, "The Company had record earnings in 2019. There was increased pressure on our net interest margin from the lower rate environment; however, strong loan growth helped produce an increase in net income for the 4th quarter. We also completed a milestone as we listed our stock on the OTCQX late in the 4th quarter, 2019. I'm looking forward to the opportunities available to our Company in 2020 as we leverage our recently completed subordinated debt issuance."
For 2019, the Company had basic earnings of $3.25 per share compared to basic earnings of $2.62 per share in 2018, an increase of 24.05%.

In 2019, the Bank paid cash dividends of $0.63 per share for each share of common stock outstanding, an increase of approximately 25.37% from the cash dividends paid in 2018.
