Evans Bancorp reports Q3 EPS 53c, one estimate 40c

David J. Nasca, President and CEO of Evans Bancorp (EVBN), Inc., commented, “Evans delivered solid third quarter performance as the rate environment began to improve, driven by growth in our lending portfolio, and deposits, an expanded net interest margin, and continued expense management discipline. We additionally benefited from the sale of an OREO property during the quarter, which boosted non-interest income and helped offset the initial $0.6M n merger-related costs incurred.”
