Summit State Bank reports Q EPS 68c vs 55c last year

Reports book value per share $13.24. Reports common equity tier 1 capital ratio 9.31%. "We delivered another strong quarter, and record profits for the year 2022," noted Brian Reed, President and CEO. "We saw substantial growth in the loan portfolio year-over-year, increases to our core deposit base, and expansion of our net interest margin. Continued growth in the loan and investment portfolios, combined with a higher interest rate environment, contributed significantly to the increased net interest income and profitability relative to the prior year. Additionally, noninterest bearing deposit balances continued to increase despite deposit pricing pressures. With our strong core operations and capital base, we have the resources in place to make our business stronger and more financially sustainable. Looking ahead, we remain committed to protecting our profitability as we continue to grow in a disciplined manner."
