Basic and diluted earnings per common share were both $1.19 in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $1.10 for both in the third quarter of 2024 and $0.77 for both in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Annualized return on average assets was 1.52% and annualized return on average common stockholders’ equity was 16.29% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 1.04% and 11.78%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Net interest income was $123.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $115.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $101.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2024 was 2.96% compared to 2.84% in the third quarter of 2024 and 2.57% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Loan yields were 6.43% during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 6.62% during the third quarter of 2024 and 6.32% during the fourth quarter of 2023. Investment yields were 3.49% during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 3.57% during the third quarter of 2024 and 3.08% during the fourth quarter of 2023. Average interest-bearing deposit rates were 3.63% during the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 4.12% during the third quarter of 2024 and 4.06% during the fourth quarter of 2023. Average federal funds purchased rates were 4.80% during fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 5.42% during the third quarter of 2024 and 5.49% during the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Average loans for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $12.43 billion, an increase of $60.6 million, or 1.9% annualized, from average loans of $12.37 billion for the third quarter of 2024, and an increase of $828.8 million, or 7.1%, from average loans of $11.60 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Average total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $13.48 billion, a decrease of $32.6 million, or 1.0% annualized, from average total deposits of $13.52 billion for the third quarter of 2024, and an increase of $256.7 million, or 1.9%, from average total deposits of $13.23 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Third party processing and other services expense increased $674,000, or 8.6%, to $8.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 from $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, and increased $480,000, or 6.0%, on a linked quarter basis.

Other operating expenses decreased $6.1 million, or 48.7%, to $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 from $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, and increased $1.9 million, or 41.2%, on a linked quarter basis. An incremental expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to tax credit investments of $3.3 million, contributed to the decrease in other operating expenses year-over-year. In addition, the following items, which management viewed as unusual, infrequent, or not reflective of future normal operating expenses within the control of management, contributed to non-interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2023: the FDIC special assessment expense of $7.2 million, an EDP contract termination and related capitalized cost write-offs of $1.1 million to other operating expenses, and an adjustment to a privilege tax accrual resulting in a $2.2 million expense to other operating expenses. See “GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more discussion of these expenses. The efficiency ratio was 35.54% during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 55.23% during the fourth quarter of 2023 and 36.90% during the third quarter of 2024.

 

Income tax expense increased $9.0 million, or 175.6%, to $14.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our effective tax rate was 17.89% for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 10.91% for the fourth quarter of 2023. We recognized a reduction in provision for income taxes resulting from excess tax benefits from the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock during the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023 of $624,000 and $252,000, respectively.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity, and adjusted efficiency ratio. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded a one-time expense of $7.2 million associated with the FDIC’s special assessment to recapitalize the Deposit Insurance Fund following bank failures in the spring of 2023. This assessment was updated in the first quarter of 2024 resulting in additional expense of $1.8 million. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2023 we experienced expenses for the termination of an EDP contract and related capitalized cost write-offs resulting in $1.1 million in expenses, and an adjustment to a privilege tax accrual resulting in a $2.2 million expense. The EDP contract termination costs were related to a planned systems conversion that was canceled. We determined the benefits to our clients were less than expected and the disruption outweighed the benefits. We can continue to provide best-in-class products with our current service provider. The adjustment to the privilege tax accrual was due to an under-accrual in previous years, and the correction resulted in duplicate expenses for 2023. These expenses are unusual, or infrequent, in nature and not part of the noninterest expense run rate. Each of adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity and adjusted efficiency ratio excludes the impact of these items, net of tax, and are all considered non-GAAP financial measures. This press release also contains the non-GAAP financial measures of tangible common stockholders’ equity, total tangible assets, tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to total tangible assets, each of which excludes goodwill associated with our acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. in January 2015.

 

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the comparative periods presented in this press release. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
