Operating Leverage Increases Profitability
FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Freedom Bank of Virginia (OTCQX: FDVA) earned a record pre-tax net income of $807,992 for the quarter ending September 30, 2015. The bank showed strong performance in terms of net income, asset growth and core deposit expansion.
CEO Craig Underhill indicated, “Improving profitability resulted from operating leverage. Freedom built its lending and credit teams over the last two years and profitability is climbing as production rises without corresponding overhead increases. The magnitude of improvement is evident by earning more this quarter after income taxes than the bank did in the same quarter last year before taxes. The same lenders brought in operating accounts to the bank, increasing its core funding year over year.”
