Pinnacle Bancshares Announces Results for Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024

JASPER, Ala.--()--Robert B. Nolen, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: PCLB), today announced Pinnacle’s third quarter results of operations.

  • For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Pinnacle’s basic/diluted earnings per share was $1.16 as compared to $1.29 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,057,000 as compared to $1,174,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $981,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Pinnacle’s basic/diluted earnings per share was $3.33 as compared to $3.85 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3,027,000 as compared to $3,499,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
  • For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, return on average assets was 1.20%, and 1.17%, respectively, compared to 1.40% and 1.39%, respectively, in the comparable 2023 period.

Pinnacle’s net interest margin was 3.24% and 3.18% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 3.25% and 3.37% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

At September 30, 2024, Pinnacle’s allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.84%, compared to 1.96% at December 31, 2023. There were no nonperforming assets at September 30, 2024 as well as at December 31, 2023.

Pinnacle Bank was classified as “well capitalized” at September 30, 2024. All capital ratios are higher than the requirements for a well-capitalized institution. As of September 30, 2024, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 18.78%. As of September 30, 2024, its total capital ratio was 19.90%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.52%.

Dividends of $.27 and $.81 per share were paid to shareholders during the three and nine months ended for both September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Management believes that the Company has adequate liquidity through its low loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 2024, as well as available funding from outside sources. Our net funding availability, as a percentage of our franchise funding, is 105.48% as compared to our established minimal limit of 25%. In addition, the Bank provides access to additional FDIC insurance coverage for accounts that would otherwise exceed deposit insurance coverage. The Company’s total deposits at September 30, 2024 increased $3.3 million, or 1%, as compared to December 31, 2023.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation caused a substantial rise in interest rates during 2022 and 2023 which has had a negative effect in the securities market. As a result of the increase in interest rates since 2022, the Company has recorded an accumulated other comprehensive loss on securities available for sale of approximately $21.8 million as of September 30, 2024 as compared to recording other comprehensive loss in the amount of $26.7 million as of December 31, 2023. Although these unrealized losses recorded as of September 30, 2024 were significant, management does not anticipate these losses to be other than temporary as these unrealized losses do not currently appear related to any credit deterioration within the portfolio but from higher interest rates.

Forward-Looking Statements

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected.
