Reports Increase in Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings for Q1 2021 April 22, 2021 GMT JENNINGS, LA / ACCESSWIRE / April 22, 2021 / JD Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), (OTCQX:JDVB), the parent holding company of JD Bank (the “Bank”), reports its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $1,919,989 or $1.12 per share compared to $2,303,079 or $1.34 per share for the linked quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $1,557,713 or $0.91 per share for the prior year period ended March 31, 2020. There were meaningful differences in provisions for loan losses and non-recurring, non-operating items impacting each of the three comparative periods. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating income for the current quarter was $2,852,906 or approximately 14% higher than the $2,508,474 and $2,502,248 reported for the linked quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating income excludes net losses on the sale of other real estate owned, net gains on the disposal of available for sale investment securities and a gain on a casualty loss recognized in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in earnings in the current period compared to the two comparative periods was primarily due to lower operating expenses and slightly higher recurring non-interest revenue.
