ELMIRA — Elmira Savings Bank (NASDAQ: ESBK) reported that its third-quarter net income slipped 2 percent to $1.37 million from just under $1.4 million a year ago.
A decline in noninterest income and net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense offset areduction in tax expense and a decline in the provision for loan losses, the banking company said.
However, Elmira Savings Bank’s diluted earnings per share rose to 44 cents a share in the third quarter from 41 cents a year prior. That’s because the income available to common shareholders increased as the dividends the banking company pays out on preferred stock fell following its redemption of $10.5 million in preferred stock at the end of this year’s first quarter. The company repaid three-fourths of the $14 million it received from the U.S. Treasury Department through the Small Business Lending Fund.
