The Bancorp reported net income of $8.0 million, or $0.14 earnings per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $10.9 million, or $0.29 loss per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Tier one capital to assets, tier one capital to risk-weighted assets, total capital to risk-weighted assets and common equity-tier 1 ratios were 6.96%, 14.74%, 15.09%, and 14.74% respectively, compared to well capitalized minimums of 5%, 8%, 10% and 6.5%, respectively.

Damian Kozlowski, The Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “While 2016 was a very difficult year for The Bancorp, first quarter 2017 financial results reflect the planned return to profitability. While we did incur financial losses in 2016, it did set the stage to make progress on many key issues that faced The Bancorp. I believe that the actions taken in 2016 have resulted in a much stronger platform and the first quarter was the start of what we believe will be a year of improving performance. In the first quarter, The Bancorp earned $8.0 million in net income or $0.14 cents a share off of $49 million of total revenue, less interest expense. Our earnings showed substantial improvement and revenue momentum continues, while expense cuts and restructuring had a noticeable impact on profitability. I believe this first quarter is a turning point. We have a long way to go to fully implement our integrated business plan but we are on track to deliver better results for all the constituencies that comprise The Bancorp community.”
