CEO: Despite Uncertainty, Q2 Revenue Reaches $197.4 Million
Reports Q2 revenue $197.4M, consensus $190.5M. CEO Brent Beardall states: "Uncertainty seems to be our new reality, not just in the banking sector, but also in the broader global context. Our strong foundation enabled us to deliver for our customers even during uncertain times. During the quarter, we executed on our strategic plan and grew our active loan segments by 12% annualized. Given our growth in loans, notable improvements in asset quality metrics, and a widening margin, we see a bright future in spite of current uncertainties. Our stock was trading near tangible book value for the majority of the quarter, so we aggressively bought back shares at less than 1.1x tangible book value. We were able to buy back 3.6% of total outstanding shares during the quarter. Our return on tangible common equity was 10.8% making it one of the best investment alternatives available to us. Credit goes to our amazing team of bankers that is working hard to deliver for our clients."
