Net income per fully diluted common share increased 41% from the same six month period last year to $0.41.
“CapitalMark had another quarter of strong results fueled by exceptional loan and non-interest bearing deposit growth. Loans grew 25% year-over-year while non-interest bearing deposits grew 29% over the same period. With $879 million in total assets, we continue to build core earnings capacity and an operating profile that positions CapitalMark well for the future,” said R. Craig Holley, CapitalMark’s chairman, president and CEO.
“The growth in core earnings noted below was fueled by additional banker teams in the Chattanooga and Knoxville markets and a strategic restructuring of the balance sheet. Management redeployed assets from lower yielding securities into higher yielding loans. This strategy supported the growth in our markets for high quality business lending. CapitalMark will continue to add experienced bankers to our team. The markets we serve have responded positively to our approach of personal service,” Mr. Holley said.
