Herald National Bank (NYSE AMEX: HNB), a New York-based full-service commercial bank, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
“We’ve continued to experience improvements in our financial performance, and our results this quarter are no exception, especially absent one-time charges,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Raymond A. Nielsen. “We are ‘well capitalized’ under the OCC’s regulatory capital guidelines, financially stable and continue to focus on relationship banking, while delivering the highest levels of attentive, personalized service to our growing roster of clients.”
Key highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 include:
Herald also announced that David S. Bagatelle has resigned as both President and a director of the bank. Herald’s Chief Operating Officer Michael S. Carleton has been appointed President pending the review and non-objection of the OCC, the bank’s primary regulator, of him assuming that role permanently. Carleton has been with the bank since its inception and will retain his Chief Operating Officer duties and rejoin the board of directors. Detailed information on these management changes is contained in a form 8-K filed today by the bank.
"David was a lead founder of the bank, and played an essential leadership role from Herald's earliest days, helping to navigate us through the pre-launch and initial capital raising phases," said Nielsen. "His contributions to our development and growth have left us poised for long-term strength and stability, and we believe that the assumption of these responsibilities by Michael will ensure a smooth and effective transition." These changes follow a recent capital raise occurring at the end of the first quarter and a restructuring of the bank's board of directors.
The end of the quarter also marks the implementation of a series of operational and pricing improvements stemming from a comprehensive internal evaluation. The resulting changes occurred primarily in three areas – reducing non-interest expenses, lowering the cost of funds and enhancing fee income through relationship pricing improvements. The bank also announced the appointment of Mark Foley, who has more than 20 years of risk management experience, to serve as its Senior Vice President and Chief Risk Officer.
“These initiatives, combined with our recent capital infusion and the adoption of more conservative growth objectives have enabled the bank to significantly reduce our operating loss and leave us poised to turn the corner and accelerate our progress toward sustained profitability,” said Carleton. “I’m very enthused to be assuming these additional responsibilities at such a significant and positive point in Herald National Bank’s development and will continue working to ensure that we are serving the needs of our clients and optimizing shareholder value.”
