First National Bank Alaska Announces Unaudited Results for First Quarter 2019

ANCHORAGE, Alaska–(BUSINESS WIRE)–First National Bank Alaska’s (OTCQX:FBAK) unaudited net income for first
quarter 2019 was $13.5 million, or $4.27 per share. This compares to net

Net interest and loan fee income for first quarter 2019 was $32.9

from 1.46% and 10.69%, respectively, during the same period in 2018. The
