Kentucky Bank's Performance - 2016

It was a solid year of performance for the banks in Kentucky. When we compare Kentucky Banks with all other banks nationwide there are few areas that stand out.

Kentucky Banks added more employees on a relative percentage basis than the Nation’s Banks. Other areas of note include loan growth which outpaced the rest of the nation. Deposit Growth and Asset size outpaced the Kentucky banks but not by a large margin.

Kentucky Banks have historically had better loan yields and margins than their counterparts and this past year was no exception.  Additionally, charge offs were one third of the Nation’s Banks ratio. Return on Assets were very comparable as well as the Equity Capital ratio, however the Nation’s Banks led the way in Non-Interest Income, Return on Equity and Loan Loss Reserves.
