 MONROEVILLE, Pa., April 29, 2021 GLOBE NEWSWIRE -- Standard AVB Financial Corp. the Company - NASDAQ: STND, the holding company for Standard Bank, PaSB, announced earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 of 2.1 million, or 0.46 per basic share, compared to 1.1 million, or 0.24 per basic share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Net income for the quarter was impacted by merger-related expenses of 151,000 121,000 after tax related to the pending merger with Dollar Mutual Bancorp. Excluding the after tax impact of the merger-related expenses, net income would have been 2.2 million or 0.46 per basic share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase in earnings resulted primarily from changes in the net equity securities fair value adjustment period over period and decreases in interest expense and the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a decrease in interest income and an increase in income tax expense.
