As I see it, Net Income was $102 million, or $1.90. up 7.3%, from $1.77 a year ago. However, it would have been $2.35, up 33%, if they hadn’t taken a $24.3 million increase in provision for possible Chicago taxi medallion losses (due to Uber). This brings them up to 30% of the total of those loans, so I guess they decided to take as much of the possible hit that they could see, all at once, and get it out of the way. When they stop taking these additional provisions their apparent earnings will skyrocket.
Just the way I see it though. Please decide for yourself.

That makes sense Saul. The main problem I see is that with this very low interest rate environment it will be hard for banks (large and small) to grow their earnings/revenue. I don’t foresee low rates going away anytime soon.
And SBNY’s efficiency ratio was 0.31. If you understand anything efficiency ratios you’ll know that that is beyond amazing. And their book value was up 22.6% to $65 from $53 a year ago.

Small businesses in need of expansion capitol have to be loving these low rates. And the deposits don’t cost the bank much at all. Business loans are usually shorter term or are linked to variable rates of some sort so in a rising rate environment the bank won’t get hit as badly as a bank loaded with 30 year home loans at low rates.
For many years I needed an inventory loan in the spring and could always pay it off by August so I never had a problem paying whatever the rate was, even that year of 19% interest.

I’m relieved that the market is starting to realize the same things I was seeing. When I looked an hour or so ago, SBNY was down about $9 and I bought a little at $120.85. It’s now at $123.30 which is a bit better.
Agreed. Amazing how much of the call Q&A was focused on the medallion loans (Chicago and NY, specifically), which constitute such a small percentage of SBNY’s total business. All fair questions when that small percentage eats up 20% of a quarter’s NI. The management commentary (which seemed to satisfy the querying analysts) is that this one-time charge should put the medallion concerns to bed, at least for a while. Listen to the call and make your own decision on whether that optimism is accurate. (FWIW, my take is that management is being very conservative with their medallion valuations, assumptions and charges.)
I almost pulled the trigger on buying some more (it’s already a relatively high percentage for me), but I’ve spent the last 3 earnings seasons buying on immediate drops, only to watch them continue falling for days or more after. Am I learning from past mistakes or irrationally trying to predict and time a market with no memory? Time will tell.
