BISMARCK, N.D., Feb. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BNCCORP, INC. (BNC or the Company) (OTCQX Markets: BNCC), which operates community banking and wealth management businesses in
In conjunction with today's announcement, the Board of Directors have declared a special, one-time cash dividend of
BNC Chairman Michael Vekich said, "The special cash dividend reflects a capital management philosophy that includes the return of capital to shareholders in excess of what is invested to maintain our businesses, deployed for profitable investments, or retained as a capital reserve and liquidity buffer for the Company and BNC National Bank. The special dividend also demonstrates our continuing confidence in our financial strength despite a volatile economy and a competitive banking environment."
Management Commentary
"Our fourth quarter results reflect the diligent execution of our strategic priorities throughout 2023," said Daniel J. Collins, BNC's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With our persistent focus on loan growth, liquidity management, deposit and margin protection in the midst of significant market volatility, and our mortgage divestiture, we prudently managed downside risk by capitalizing on loan growth opportunities and providing continuous attention to margin and credit risk management. This deliberate approach to growth relies on balancing important metrics such as liquidity, net interest margin, efficiency, credit quality, and capital position and the management team's unwavering attention to the identification and management of risks. Our performance in the quarter reflects the strength of our customer relationships as a financial partner of choice in our service area as evidenced by increased sequential deposit balances, stable deposits costs and continued loan growth despite some larger late-in-the-year loan pay-offs."
Mr. Collins continued, "As we launch into 2024, we continue to believe in our strategy. Our focus is to continue a measured trend of loan growth and to enhance our strong financial position while being attentive to margin protection, delivering efficiency improvements from technology investments and recognizing the opportunities inherent in our new footprint. We remain steadfast in our belief that disciplined credit underwriting and administration is of primary importance and will continue to be a core element of our culture. This is a fundamentally conservative approach that has served us well over the years and we expect will continue to do so. This approach, coupled with a commitment to superior customer service and a broad portfolio of financial products, will continue to meet the needs of existing and future clients."
