The drop resulted mainly from a reduction of $451,000 in net gains on the sales and redemptions of investment securities, according to Pathfinder. Earnings per share for the period totaled 22 cents, compared with 11 cents a year earlier.
Earnings per share were lower last year because of the company’s exit from the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, according to Pathfinder.
