ELKIN, N.C., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Yadkin Valley Bank and Trust Company, Elkin, NC (NASDAQ:YAVY) reports earnings of $2,935,176 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 17.4% as compared with earnings of $2,499,443 for the same quarter last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.27 and $0.24 for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 earnings increased by 18.3% to $8,205,207 from $6,938,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Basic earnings per share were $0.77 and $0.66 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $0.76 and $0.65 for the respective periods.
Commenting on the results, Bill Long, President and CEO, stated, "Record third quarter and year-to-date performance are the results of continuing consolidation from our two previous bank mergers, strong loan growth, increased interest margins, and significant increases from noninterest income over the prior year. Asset quality remains strong, and net charge-offs are down significantly for the nine month period. Yet, we understand the importance of not reducing our provision for loan losses to enhance performance. We expect continued progress in the last quarter, and net earnings per share for 2005 should be in the $1.00 to $1.04 range."
