Strong first quarter results show continued growth for ATB


EDMONTON, Aug. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Results from ATB Financial's first quarter show balanced growth in loans and deposits as the Alberta-based financial institution continued growing its revenue. ATB reported a net income of $57.3 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2018.

Although net income is down from the same quarter a year ago ($63.1 million), primarily due to higher loan loss provisions, there are signs of improvement as support for Albertans and the province's entrepreneurs continues to be a priority. Loans were up 8.3 per cent over the same period last year ($45.1 billion from $41.7 billion). Deposits totalled $34.5 billion, up from $33.7 billion the year before.

"Many Alberta businesses and entrepreneurs have survived turbulent times, and there are still headwinds we face, but together, we're finding a way to thrive."

ATB crossed a significant milestone during the quarter, surpassing the 100,000 business customer count. Entrepreneurs in the Grande Prairie region were welcomed into the newest ATB Entrepreneur Centre?where business owners can meet to share ideas, garner support and learn from banking and business experts.

In a new commitment to help benefit Alberta's entrepreneurs, ATB signed on to the Canadian Business Growth Fund as a founding investor. The fund aims to help entrepreneurs access the capital they need to drive growth and expansion.

ATB Investor Services reported $19.4 billion in assets under administration, an increase of 12.7 per cent compared to this quarter last year.
