GILROY, Calif., November 22, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OTCQB: PBNK - Pinnacle Bank, headquartered in Gilroy, California, announced changes to its press release issued on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, as a result of restating its financials for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The restated release follows.

Pinnacle Bank announced today unaudited net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, of $244,000, compared to net income of $2,728,000 for the same period in 2023.

One commercial and industrial loan totaling $2.4 million originally moved to nonaccrual was subsequently charged off as of September 30, 2024, when it was determined that management could no longer rely on information previously used in assessing the collectability of the loan at quarter end. The charge-off and the allowance for credit losses on nonaccrual loans resulted in an increase in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, that had a significant negative impact on net income.

As of September 30, 2024, total assets were $891.4 million, a 6% increase from the $843.5 million at September 30, 2023.

Gross loans were $614.6 million at September 30, 2024, a new record and an increase of $76.2 million (14%) from the September 30, 2023 balance of $538.4 million. The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2024 was $7.335 million or 1.20% of net loans compared to $5.799 million or 1.09% of net loans at September 30, 2023. Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2024 consisted of $8.4 million of commercial real estate loans. There were no nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2023.

Total deposits at September 30, 2024 were $780.9 million, a 5% increase from $746.6 million at September 30, 2023.
