CalWest Bancorp (OTCBB: CALW), the holding company for CalWest Bank, today announced the consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2018.
Significant items for the period include:
- Net Interest Income improved 22% year-over-year
- Non-Interest Expenses increased 17% year-over-year, reflecting increased staffing and locations
- Net Income improved 5% year-over-year
- The year-over-year increase in deposits was centered in DDA and MMA, helping to control our cost-of-deposits
- Allowance for Loan Losses to Gross Loans was 1.56%
“While Non-Interest Expenses increased during the second half of the year due to expanding our staff and improving our branch locations, these strategic initiatives are helping drive our growth in loans and deposits,” noted Glenn Gray, President and CEO of CalWest Bancorp and CalWest Bank.
“During FY 2018 we expanded our lending activity to include construction loans and loans to Homeowners Associations. These loans, as well as C&I loan commitments have helped increase our unfunded commitments year-over-year by $4 million (15%) to $29.5 million. We expect usage under those commitments to be one of the catalysts for loan growth in FY 2019.”
CalWest Bancorp is the parent company of CalWest Bank, a community bank recognized for its exemplary service to entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals located throughout Southern California. The Bank serves the business community through its four branches located in Rancho Santa Margarita, Irvine, Huntington Beach and Redlands, and loan production offices in Laguna Niguel and Vista.
