"We continue to execute at a high level of profitability, despite a number of challenges faced by the mortgage banking industry," said Douglas Gordon, CEO of Waterstone Financial, Inc. "The third quarter performance reflects continued improvement from the community banking segment. Driven by loan growth and a continued focus on expense management, the community banking segment achieved a record $7.5 million of pretax income for the quarter. The mortgage banking segment third quarter pretax income decreased $2.5 million to $4.3 million from last year's total. The decline from last year's record profitability is driven by a number of industry-wide challenges, including: a decrease in demand for refinance products, housing inventory shortages and weather-related disruptions."
