WAUKEGAN, IL--(Marketwired - Mar 8, 2016) - Northern States Financial Corporation (
For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company showed net income of $22,043,000, mainly due to the reversal of the deferred tax allowance. Pretax income for the quarter was $323,000 as compared with a loss of $142,000 for the same quarter of 2014.
Assets of the Company increased 15.0% to $485.3 million at December 31, 2015 from year-end 2014. Despite some strategic loan payoffs and reduction of nonperforming loans, the Company increased its loans by 8.3% to $237.3 million at December 31, 2015 compared with December 31, 2014. Total deposits increased 10.9% to $395.4 million as noninterest bearing deposits increased 18.3% and interest bearing deposits increased 8.7% between the same dates.
In regards to credit quality, total nonperforming loans were reduced 60.7% to $8.3 million at December 31, 2015 compared with December 31, 2014. Other real estate owned was reduced 23.8% to $12.6 million between the same dates.
"The Company continues to focus on non-performing asset ("NPA") reduction and earnings," stated Scott Yelvington, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We are pleased with our progress on both fronts in 2015 as we were able to reduce NPAs as a percentage of total assets to 4.3% at year-end from 8.9% at year-end 2014. Solid earnings growth has allowed us to recapture the vast majority of the deferred tax allowance enhancing share value of our Company. We were also pleased with the net increase in loans and growth to our core deposits as we move to profitably deploy our excess liquidity."
