WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Bancorporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: WTBA; the “Company”), parent company of West Bank, today reported third quarter 2022 net income of
David Nelson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Our company had another strong quarter. Our credit quality remains pristine and we continue to see opportunities for high quality loan growth, although at a slower pace than we experienced the last few quarters. We remain diligent in monitoring and managing our credit quality as we anticipate increasing economic challenges as the Federal Reserve aggressively seeks to reduce inflation by raising interest rates. Our bankers are working hard every day to assist our customers and communities in navigating the current economic and interest rate uncertainties. For the fifth consecutive quarter end, we had no loans greater than 30 days past due.”
David Nelson added, “While the yield on our loan portfolio is increasing, changes in liquidity and competitive deposit pricing, resulting from volatility and uncertainty in the interest rate environment, has put upward pressure on our cost of funds. Our capital position is strong and we remain focused on our highly successful core business model to continue building shareholder value.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This report contains references to financial measures that are not defined in GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the Company’s presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis and the presentation of the efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis, excluding certain income and expenses. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to analyze and evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These measures are considered standard measures of comparison within the banking industry. Additionally, management believes providing measures on a FTE basis enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be considered an alternative to the Company’s GAAP results. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis and efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis.

(1) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 21 percent, adjusted to reflect the effect of the nondeductible interest expense associated with owning tax-exempt securities and loans. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results, as it enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources.
(2) The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense as a percent of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding specific noninterest income and expenses. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the Company's financial performance. It is a standard measure of comparison within the banking industry. A lower ratio is more desirable.
