Trinity Bank Reports 4Q and FYE 2017 Results

January 31, 2018 8:02 AM EST

- 2017 Earnings Per Share were down 23% due to the write down of our Deferred Tax Asset (required by the passage of the Tax Reform Act dated 12-22-17) and a large loan loss provision (and subsequent charge off) for our one problem loan
- Return on Assets of 1.23% and Return on Equity of 10.22% (while well below our historical performance) are slightly above the average returns for our Bank Peer Group
- Good deposit growth, excellent efficiency, and strong Equity to Assets Ratio of 12.05% are indicative of the effort by the staff, management and Board of Trinity Bank to produce superior returns and shareholder value

FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2018 / Trinity Bank N.A. (OTC PINK: TYBT) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

Trinity Bank, N.A. reported Net Income after Taxes for the fourth quarter of 2017 of $642,000 or $.57 per diluted common share, compared to $1,072,000 or $.96 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 40.3%.

For the year 2016, Net Income After Taxes amounted to $3,068,000, or $2.74 per diluted common share, compared to $4,009,000, or $3.56 per diluted common share for 2016, a decrease of 23.1%.

Jeffrey M. Harp, President, stated, "Prior to the changes mentioned in the first bullet point above, Trinity Bank generated its best monthly profit ever in December, and the fourth quarter was the best quarter since inception in 2003. The 2017 Tax Reform Act (which necessitated the write-down of the Deferred Tax Asset) has significant positive implications for Trinity Bank in the long run. The large loan loss provision for our one problem loan is behind us."

"In a year that didn't meet our expectations, Trinity Bank still earned over $3,000,000 after taxes (a decent return on our shareholder's original and only capital investment of $11,000,000), paid over $1,100,000 in cash dividends, and generated above average returns on assets and equity compared to our Bank Peer Group. We look forward to performing at historical levels in 2018 and beyond."

Such forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, monetary policy and general economic conditions in Texas and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest rate protection agreements, the actions of competitors and customers, the success of the Bank in implementing its strategic plan, the failure of the assumptions underlying the reserves for loan losses and the estimations of values of collateral and various financial assets and liabilities, that the costs of technological changes are more difficult or expensive than anticipated, the effects of regulatory restrictions imposed on banks generally, any changes in fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies and other uncertainties as discussed in the Bank's Registration Statement on Form SB1 filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should these underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from outcomes expected or anticipated by the Bank. A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forwardlooking statement. The Bank believes it has chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, the Bank cautions you that assumptions or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between assumptions or bases and actual results can be material. The Bank undertakes no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any forwardlooking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless the securities laws require the Bank to do so.
