MCCALL, Idaho, Feb. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today Idaho First Bank (the “Bank”) (OTC: IDFB) announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter of 2020. Earnings for the fourth quarter were $1.2 million, bringing the earnings for 2020 to $3.0 million. Greg Lovell, CEO of Idaho First Bank, stated “The Q4 results continue to reflect growth from supporting customers and communities as a vital source for business lending. This includes bringing the most talented team members on board, which enhances our ability to accelerate our growing lending activities to meet business client’s financial needs.” He further stated that “The depth of relationships built between customers, and our teams has led to significant lending and deposit expansion.”
Chairman Mark Miller said, “The Board is proud of the team’s hard work and commitment to customers throughout 2020. We are experiencing accelerated growth within our bank as our highly desirable markets continue to expand.”
While tremendous growth from our PPP efforts has occurred, the Bank provided key support to business owners as the Bank saw non-PPP loan balances grow $96.7 million year over year. Total PPP loans outstanding were $548.2 million at December 31, 2020, with the focus having shifted to the forgiveness application and calculation processes as mandated by the CARES Act. We continue to be an active participant in the current PPP process.
At December 31, 2020, the Bank’s total assets were $884.4 million, an increase of $664.4 million, over December 31, 2019. Deposits as of December 31, 2020 were $348.2 million, an increase of $162.0 million over December 31, 2019.
The Bank also opened a full service branch in Nampa to support the expanding service needs of Canyon County. This newest branch is strategically located for ease of access to both rural Nampa areas and the expanding city of Caldwell. Additionally, to further capitalize on loan growth and our PPP success, the Bank opened a Loan Production Office (LPO) in Bend, Oregon. This will allow the Bank to further serve lending needs within the Central Oregon corridor. “We expanded our presence in these important markets as we continue to increase the reach of Idaho First. We are confident these communities will benefit from our personalized level of customer service and strong lending expertise,” stated Todd Cooper, President and COO of Idaho First Bank.
Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2020, was $33.8 million, an increase of $6.0 million from December 31, 2019. Book value per share improved from $6.15 at December 31, 2019, to $6.81 at December 31, 2020.
