Rising Tide: The Top 200 Community Banks

top-200-roae-050114-600.jpg

It's getting tougher to earn a spot in our annual ranking of publicly traded banks and thrifts with less than $2 billion of assets.

With the slowly recovering economy helping improve profitability, the return on equity that it takes to crack into the top 200 has been on the rise for a few years.

To make the list we published in 2013, banks had to post a three-year average ROE of 7.8% or higher. That is a marginal improvement over the cutoff for the 2012 list of 7.5%.

But the upward trajectory grew far more pronounced this year. Anything less than 8.66% meant falling short.

A total of 851 institutions fit the criteria for our ranking, including four that shrunk below $2 billion of assets during the year. Excluded are 40 others that did not meet our capital adequacy requirement.

The top performers listed here are doing significantly better as a group than the 851 as a whole. They posted a median ROE of 10.44% for 2013 (versus 5.70% for the entire peer group) and a median ROA of 1.05% (versus 0.67%).

Some did not necessarily have spectacular results for the year, but they did well enough across three years to rise above their peers.

Size continued to be an apparent differentiator for performance in general. The median asset size for the top 200 this year is $602.7 million, up from last year's $600.3 million. The median for the larger peer group is $377.7 million, up from $377.1 million.

Of the 33 states with banks that made the ranking, California showed the greatest improvement. It had 25 top banks this year, up from 18 last year.
