Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation, a full-service community bank holding company, reported its results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

“Our performance was strong in the quarter as double-digit growth in loans and deposits drove a 13% increase in net income,” commented DeWitt Drew, President and CEO. “We continue to achieve excellent results from our market expansion, which is making a significant contribution to our higher loan originations and healthy pipeline. In consideration of our increased earnings power, solid balance sheet, and excellent asset quality, the board recently increased the quarterly dividend by 10%, reflecting our long-time commitment to returning earnings to shareholders.”
