NORTH CONWAY, NH--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2014) - Northway Financial, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: NWYF) reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of $1,911,000 compared to net income of $1,859,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $52,000, or 3%. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reported net income of $7,206,000 compared to $6,494,000 for the same period in 2012, an increase of $712,000, or 11%.
CEO William J. Woodward said, "2013 was the fourth consecutive year of record earnings for the Company, as net income reached $7.2 million, an increase of 11% over last year. Loan growth of 12% this year continued the strong growth of 15% recorded last year. Deposit balances are higher than last year by 3.9%, and the cost of deposits is lower -- both of these are positive measures. Total Assets at the end of this year also reflect continued growth; we reached almost $900 million, 2.8% greater than at the end of 2012.
"During 2013, we restructured our branch network to improve efficiency and further implement our growth strategy. To improve efficiency, we consolidated two branches with other existing facilities. To continue our growth strategy, and to more firmly establish Northway Bank in the southern New Hampshire markets, we opened new branches in Manchester and Portsmouth. Both are situated in vibrant markets, and we look forward to them playing an important role in Northway's continuing growth.
"It is noteworthy that the market price of Northway's common stock moved upward 42% during the year, from $12.30 per share at the beginning of 2013, to $17.50 at the close of the year.
"I am very pleased with the progress we made in 2013, and look forward to continuing that progress in 2014."
