PINE BLUFF, Ark., Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Simmons Bank
has been named to Fortune's list of "100 Fastest-Growing Companies"
for 2020, the only Arkansas-based
company to make the list. Fortune's annual recognition seeks to
identify "the world's best three-year performers in revenues,
profits and stock returns," according to its website.
"Simmons Bank is honored by this
recognition and deeply grateful to our customers and associates
whose passion and loyalty have fueled our success," said
George Makris Jr., chairman and CEO
of Simmons Bank. "Our outstanding
growth, coupled with our 100-plus-year heritage of community
banking, is a combination that we're very proud of."
Simmons Bank's three-year annual
revenue growth rate of 35 percent was among the factors leading to
Fortune's listing. The company has grown from approximately
$3.2 billion in assets to an over
$21 billion-asset company in less
than seven years.
