PCB: Looking Ahead With Optimism

A message from Hal Brown, Pacific Continental's
Chief Executive Officer

Without a doubt, 2009 was a tough year; however, the news wasn’t all doom and gloom as we benefited from increasingly strong fundamentals: core earnings growth, a stable net interest margin, and excellent core deposit growth.

Our focus remains, as it should be, on the future. I remain optimistic about our Company’s prospects for several reasons:

• Our strong capital ratios, well in excess of the FDIC’s minimums to be considered “well-capitalized”, provide us with tremendous flexibility to take full advantage of growth opportunities as they arise.
• Our experienced banking professionals remain as focused as ever on providing value to our clients, and we continue to retain and recruit exceptionally strong “impact bankers.”
• Our company continues to execute a well-defined business model that solidifies our position as a leader in the industry.

In closing, I want to thank our clients, investors and employees alike for their continued confidence in – and support of – Pacific Continental Bank. Read more about Pacific Continental in our most recent quarterly update:
