(NASDAQ:TBNK) (the “Company”), headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the holding company parent of Territorial Savings Bank, announces that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on May 26, 2016 to stockholders of record as of May 12, 2016.
Allan Kitagawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The growth in our loan portfolio has resulted in a 7.1% increase in total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in interest and dividend income occurred because our loan portfolio grew by 16.9% to $1.215 billion at March 31, 2016 from $1.039 billion at March 31, 2015. The growth in interest income has resulted in a 7.3% increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. This has allowed our fully-diluted earnings per share to increase to $0.41 per share from $0.38 per share. Based on this strong performance, we will pay our 26th consecutive quarterly dividend on May 26, 2016.”
