FNB Bancorp Reports Fourth Quarter 2017 Earnings of $0.13 Per Diluted Share

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2018 / FNB Bancorp (NASDAQ: FNBG), parent company of First National Bank of Northern California (the "Bank"), today announced net earnings available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2017 of $960,000 or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $3,042,000 or $0.41 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2016. Fourth quarter results include adjustments to asset values that were recorded following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("H.R.1"), which reduced the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. The fourth quarter adjustments related to H.R.1 included a reduction in our net deferred tax assets of $(3.0) million or $(0.39) per diluted share.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company's Board of Directors signed a definitive agreement whereby FNB Bancorp, the sole shareholder of First National Bank of Northern California, would be sold to TriCo Bancshares. The merger agreement is expected to be presented to and voted on by the shareholders of both companies sometime in late first quarter or early second quarter, 2018.

"During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company was able to grow our net loan portfolio by $0.6 million. Growth in our deposit liabilities total $5.2 million, which included growth in our non-interest bearing DDA of $3.7 million. Cash generated from our growth in deposits and reductions in our cash and investment portfolio was used to reduce our FHLB borrowings outstanding by $10 million. Net interest income was $12.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.2 million during the quarter. Net interest income was helped by the fact that the adjustable rate portion of our loan portfolio continued to reset to higher yields, in response to increases to short term rates by the Federal Open Market Committee and increases in short term LIBOR rates. The reduction in our Stockholder's Equity during the quarter was related to the additional income tax expense recorded because of H.R.1. Our personnel worked diligently during the fourth quarter to maintain our profitability while continuing to provide for our customers' financial needs, providing them with what they need when they need it," stated CEO Tom McGraw.

"Our credit quality continued to improve during the fourth quarter of 2017. Total non-performing assets decreased by $3.1 million. This decrease was the result of successful efforts to reduce the level of our non-accrual loans. We did foreclose on one commercial property located in Lafayette, CA, bringing our total number of foreclosure properties to two, with a carrying value of $3.3 million as of December 31, 2017. We utilize a conservative underwriting approach in our loan origination process which, historically, has served to keep problem loans at reasonable levels. During the quarter we recorded a $0.2 million loan recovery. This recovery was possible due to the strong credit quality inherent in our loan portfolio coupled with the fact we experienced loan recoveries, net of loan charge offs, totaling $0.1 million during the quarter. Management believes our allowance for loan losses are adequate given the level of risk that has been identified in our loan portfolio," continued Tom McGraw.
