Mountain Pacific Bancorp, Inc. Announces 4th Quarter 2022 Results
Everett, WA, February 07, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Mountain Pacific Bancorp, Inc. (OTC Pink: MPCB) the holding company for Mountain Pacific Bank (the Bank), today announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Mountain Pacific Bancorp, Inc. consolidated net income before tax of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, bringing consolidated net income before tax for the year to $9.6 million. Book value per share increased to $8.42 per share at the end of 2022, compared to $7.93 at Q3 2022, and $7.49 at the end of 2021.

Mountain Pacific Bank (the Bank) closed out the year strong, recognizing net income before tax of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, bringing net income before tax for the year to $10.2 million, which was the Bank’s most profitable year in its history. This was also the third year in a row of record earnings for the Bank.

Chairman Rick Pedack noted, “The Board is proud of the performance posted in 2022 and recognizes the important contribution every member of the team made to achieve the results.”

The Company’s loan portfolio ended the period at $469.3 million. This represented growth in the loan portfolio of $6.5 million over the prior quarter, and a decrease of $125 thousand from last year. Total deposits ended the year at $490.7 million which is a decrease of $35.2 million from last year. The decline in deposits was centered in Time Deposits which decreased $40.3 million in 2022. The Bank experienced a decrease in deposit balances in 2022 as deposit pricing pressures continued and customers sought higher yields. The Bank ended the year with no FHLB borrowings after paying off $24.5 million in advances during the first half of the year. “Our team continues to find opportunities working with businesses in our communities by providing our extraordinary customer service,” stated Mark Duffy, President.

Credit quality and portfolio performance both remain strong, and the Bank continues to fund the allowance for loan loss to withstand any downturn in the economy. At year-end, the allowance was $9.7 million. Mr. Duffy commented, “Our credit culture is to work proactively with our customers, so we recognize the risks they face as well as they do. This helps to minimize credit losses and provides for the best outcomes for everyone.” The Bank will implement CECL at the beginning of 2023.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased to $22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $19.9 million for 2021.

Provision for credit losses
The Company recorded a $1.8 million provision for credit losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the twelve months last year.

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $3.6 million compared to $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The significant decrease in Non-Interest Income year over year was primarily driven by lower gain on sale of loans of $1.3 million in 2022 compared to $2.7 million in 2021 this was partially offset by an increase in service fees of $1.8 million in 2022 compared to $1.7 in 2021.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $13.5 million for 2021.
