Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation, a full-service community bank holding company, reported results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Comparisons are to prior-year periods unless otherwise noted.

“On a year-to-date basis we continue to trend higher than last year’s record earnings per share pace, despite the significant expenses incurred to migrate to our new core processing provider and our continued expansion into the Tifton market,” commented DeWitt Drew, President and CEO. “We will continue to invest in technology and systems to better serve our customer base and are looking forward to completing construction on our Tifton branch in early 2018. While overall credit quality is still solid, that is an area we will continue to focus on as we grow in both our legacy and new markets.”
