Highlights for the third quarter and year to date September 30, 2019:

• Net income available to common shareholders increased $1.7 million, or 27.1%, to $7.8 million, or $0.72 per basic common share and $0.71 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2019, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $6.1 million, or $0.60 per basic common share and $0.56 per diluted common share for the same quarter in 2018.

• Net interest income increased 18.0% to $14.5 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $12.3 million for the same quarter of 2018.

• Net income available to common shareholders increased $4.7 million or 26.8%, to $22.3 million or $2.07 per basic common share and $2.04 per diluted common share for the year to date September 30, 2019, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $17.6 million, or $1.88 per basic common share and $1.65 per diluted common share for the year to date September 30, 2018.

• Net interest income increased 21.0% to $42.2 million for the year to date September 30, 2019, compared to $34.9 million for the same period in 2018.

The following is a recap of the significant items that impacted the third quarter and the year to date September 30, 2019 period:

Interest income increased $4.4 million and $14.2 million for the third quarter and year to date September 30, 2019 periods, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018 primarily due to higher loan volumes and higher yields on loans. Also contributing were $676,000 and $1.8 million increases in interest income for the third quarter and the year to date September 30, 2019, respectively, from federal funds sold and deposits with banks. Interest expense increased $2.2 million and $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2019 and the year to date September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to higher deposit volumes and interest rates.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased $300,000 for the third quarter of 2019 and increased $850,000 for the year to date September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase in the provision was primarily due to increased loan volumes.

For the third quarter of 2019,non-interest income increased $201,000 compared to the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to increased fee income from deposit accounts and increase in the gain on sale of SBA loans. For the year to date September 30, 2019 period,non-interest income increased $373,000, primarily due to increased fee income from deposit accounts and a decreased net loss on sale of OREO, partially offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of SBA loans and a decrease in loan fees.

Non-interest expense increased $531,000 and $1.3 million for the third quarter and the year to date September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to an increase in compensation, professional service, and data processing cost reflecting the growth of the business.

Income tax expense decreased $64,000 for the third quarter of 2019, and increased $1.0 million for the year to date September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018. The effective tax rate for both the quarter and year to date September 30, 2019 was 24.5%, compared to 29.6% and 26.0% for the same periods in 2018.

CEO outlook and commentary

Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parke Bancorp and Parke Bank, provided the following statement:

“At the end of the second quarter of 2019, we discussed how the Federal Reserve Board was backing off interest rate increases due to the slowing global economy. Here we are in the third quarter of 2019 and the Federal Reserve Board has lowered interest rates 50 basis points and there is a general consensus that at least an additional 25 basis point reduction will be made prior to year end. The volatility in interest rates makes it difficult to strategically identify the future economy as it affects the banking industry. We are proud that the Company generates strong

earnings as we continue to enjoy increased asset, loan and deposit growth. Our assets increased 8.9% from the 2018 year end to $1.6 billion and loans grew 10.9% from the year ended 2018 to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2019. Our deposits grew 9.2% from the year ended 2018 to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2019. These factors, combined with our consistent tight control of our expenses, supported a 27.1% increase in net income from the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. Our 2019 year to date income grew 26.8% to $22.3 million compared to the same period in 2018. We are also proud that Parke Bank was named to the Sandler O’Neill 2019 Bank & ThriftSM-All Stars, for the second year in a row. This award is given to the top 30 small cap banks in the country.”
