NEWARK – Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE American: PRK) recently reported financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2019 (three and six months ended June 30, 2019). Park’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.01 per common share, payable on September 10, 2019 to common shareholders of record as of August 16, 2019.

Park’s net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $22.2 million, a 21.5 percent decrease from $28.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. Second quarter 2019 net income per diluted common share was $1.33, compared to $1.83 in the second quarter of 2018. Park’s net income for first half of 2019 was $47.6 million, a 19.8 percent decrease from $59.4 million for first half of 2018. Net income per diluted common share was $2.94 for the first half of 2019, compared to $3.85 for the first half of 2018.

Park Chairman and CEO David Trautman said, “Comparing the first half of 2019 to the first half of 2018 is a challenge. The first half of 2018 included some unanticipated nonrecurring revenue and the second quarter of 2019 included anticipated merger-related expenses.”

“Our banking organization continues to perform consistently well, including increases in commercial loans and installment loans in the first half of this year,” Trautman said.
