Paragon Bank today announced its third consecutive quarter of record-breaking profitability. Net income during the three-month period increased more than 10 percent to $599 thousand and was significantly higher than the third quarter of 2015, when the Small Business Capital Group was getting started.

“We would not have this continued progress without the dedication and hard work of the entire Paragon team,” said Robert Shaw, Chief Executive Officer at Paragon Bank. “Every team member works to implement our strategic goals, which results in continuous improvement. We look forward to this sustained progress and a strong end to the year.” 

Gross loans increased $10.4 million, or more than 15 percent on an annualized basis, during the third quarter of 2016. Year-to-date through September 30, 2016, loans increased $36.1 million. This level of growth has outpaced the overall growth in the Memphis area.
