Commercial Bank of California Announces Strong Financial Results for 2017





President's Statement
2017 represented another year of achievement for Commercial Bank of California.
The strengthening of our performance continued in 2017, as we recorded a significant increase in profitability and solid growth in our balance sheet.
While the primary driver of our profitability for the year was our prudent, controlled growth, our results also in part reflected factors that may not recur. We benefited from the collection of previously non-performing assets, and the successful resolution of legal matters. Results were adversely impacted by the cost of resolving an expensive facilities lease, and by the effect of the 2017 Tax Reform Act on certain tax-sensitive assets. On balance, however, the year was a most successful one, and our actions in 2017 positioned us for more progress in 2018 and beyond...
