OAK RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 02, 2017 -- Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:LBAI) (the “Company”), the parent company of Lakeland Bank (“Lakeland”), announced that the Company has been named to the Sandler O’Neill Sm-All Stars Class of 2017. This is the first year Lakeland has received this prestigious recognition.
“To be included on this list of only 29 institutions in the nation is a tremendous honor,” said Thomas J. Shara, President and CEO of Lakeland Bank. “And, it is a reflection of our strong team-based culture, our approach to relationship-based banking and our long-standing tradition of conducting business clearly and honestly.”
Sandler O’Neill, an independent, full-service investment banking firm, evaluated 404 publicly traded banks and thrifts with a market cap below $2.5 billion. Their evaluation examined growth, profitability, credit quality and capital strength and eliminated 375 institutions, or 93% of banks and thrifts that trade on a major exchange. Sandler O'Neill's report stated: "The performance metrics of the remaining 29 institutions are outstanding, with the Class of 2017 delivering bottom line results that are markedly better that the industry as a whole."
