Pacific Valley Bank is a full-service business bank operating in Monterey County, California, providing a wide array of banking products and services to small and medium-sized businesses, agriculture-related businesses, non-profit organizations, professional service providers, and individuals.
In its latest earnings report for the third quarter of 2024, Pacific Valley Bancorp reported a net income of $1.1 million, marking a 12.2% increase from the previous quarter, primarily driven by higher loan and Fed funds interest income. However, this reflects a 9.3% decrease compared to the same period last year due to increased interest expenses.
Key financial highlights include a 9.8% growth in gross loans outstanding, primarily from commercial real estate loans, and a robust Community Bank Leverage Ratio of 13.19%, well above the regulatory requirement. The bank’s net interest margin decreased slightly compared to the previous year due to higher deposit interest expenses. Despite a decrease in total deposits by 2.4% over the year, the bank’s liquidity position remains strong with a 13.2% primary liquidity ratio.
Looking forward, Pacific Valley Bank’s management is optimistic about future growth opportunities, especially with changes in the market and strategic investments in personnel and marketing. They anticipate that these investments will enhance profitability in the long term despite current pressure on net income.
