Terry Zink, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascade Bancorp, commented, "The first quarter marked a critical inflection point in Cascades' recent history as we focus our strategy toward becoming a leading Pacific Northwest community bank with strong return metrics." He continued by saying, "Assuming we receive the requisite shareholder approvals, we expect to close our proposed merger with Home Federal Bancorp ("Home Federal") in mid-May."
Mr. Zink went on to say, "Upon the anticipated closing of the merger, we look forward to welcoming Home Federal Bank customers to Bank of the Cascades and realizing the opportunities to enhance efficiencies while delivering expanded services and conveniences."
Greg Newton, Chief Financial Officer, added, "Much of our focus during this quarter was preparation for the merger with Home Federal. We are pleased that our credit quality metrics continued to improve during the quarter with reductions in both substandard loans and non-performing assets, while loans and deposits were stable during our seasonally slower winter quarter." He added, "Also, during this quarter we continued to re-balance the loan portfolio in favor of commercial and industrial loans. This loan type was up $19.3 million or 7.6% from the prior quarter while commercial real estate loans declined $8.3 million or 1.5% during the quarter. This resulted in modest overall loan growth in our seasonally weakest period."
