Average loans and leases totaled $17.5 billion in the fourth quarter, up 1.1 percent from $17.3 billion in the same period a year ago.

For the full year, TCF Financial reported net income of $212.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, up from $197.1 million, or $1.07 per share, in 2015.

Craig Dahl, president and chief executive officer of TCF Financial, said market volatility and auto industry lending softness are expected to be challenges in the current quarter.

“I am proud of the progress we have made and the successes we have achieved during 2016,” Dahl said. “We took significant strides toward driving the company forward in ways that align with our four strategic pillars.

“As we move forward into 2017, there is much to be excited about. Our focus will be on taking the next step in creating superior and sustainable financial performance. We can do this by optimizing our diverse loan and lease origination platforms to grow in areas that will continue to drive profitability. In addition, we will look to create new efficiencies throughout the organization while offering product and service solutions that meet the financial needs of our customers.”
