(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) NEWARK, Ohio, Oct. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE American: PRK) today reported financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024. Park's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.06 per common share and a special one-time dividend of $0.50 per common share, both payable on December 10, 2024, to common shareholders of record as of November 15, 2024.

“Our bankers remain unwavering in their desire to serve more and find creative ways to meet the needs of our customers,” said Park Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Trautman.“Our bankers are diligent, compassionate and resilient. We saw it firsthand this month as Park bankers and customers in the Carolinas and Florida weathered hurricanes Helene and Milton and overcame extreme challenges and devastation. I couldn't be prouder of our team and how they stepped up to take care of each other and their communities.”

Park's net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $38.2 million, a 3.5 percent increase from $36.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 net income per diluted common share was $2.35, compared to $2.28 for the third quarter of 2023. Park's net income for the first nine months of 2024 was $112.8 million, a 10.3 percent increase from $102.2 million for the first nine months of 2023. Net income per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2024 was $6.95 compared to $6.29 for the first nine months of 2023.

Park's total loans increased 3.4 percent (4.6 percent annualized) during the first nine months of 2024 and increased 5.2 percent for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Park's total deposits increased 2.1 percent (2.9 percent annualized) during the first nine months of 2024 and decreased 0.4 percent for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2024. The combination of solid loan growth and steady deposits resulted in a net interest margin of 4.45 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 4.39 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 4.12 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

“We have enjoyed consistent loan growth in 2024, coupled with disciplined control of funding costs and exceptional customer service, resulting in near-record earnings,” said Park President Matthew Miller.“Our performance is driven by our bankers' commitment to produce exceptional results for our customers, communities and shareholders.”
