DETAILED FINANCIALS

ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc. reported net income and net income available to common stockholders of $59.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income and net income available to common stockholders of $52.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 and net income and net income available to common stockholders of $53.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were both $1.10 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.96 and $0.95, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024 and $0.98 for both in the third quarter of 2023.

Annualized return on average assets was 1.43% and annualized return on average common stockholders’ equity was 15.55% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 1.37% and 15.34%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2023.

Net interest income was $115.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $105.9 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $99.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2024 was 2.84% compared to 2.79% in the second quarter of 2024 and 2.64% in the third quarter of 2023. Loan yields were 6.62% during the third quarter of 2024 compared to 6.48% during the second quarter of 2024 and 6.13% during the third quarter of 2023. Investment yields were 3.57% during the third quarter of 2024 compared to 3.33% during the second quarter of 2024 and 3.07% during the third quarter of 2023. Average interest-bearing deposit rates were 4.12% during the third quarter of 2024, compared to 4.09% during the second quarter of 2024 and 3.84% during the third quarter of 2023. Average federal funds purchased rates were 5.42% during third quarter of 2024, compared to 5.50% during the second quarter of 2024 and 5.43% during the third quarter of 2023.

Average loans for the third quarter of 2024 were $12.37 billion, an increase of $303.7 million, or 10.0% annualized, from average loans of $12.06 billion for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $803.6 million, or 7.0%, from average loans of $11.56 billion for the third quarter of 2023. Ending total loans for the third quarter of 2024 were $12.34 billion, an increase of $5.4 million, or 0.2% annualized, from $12.33 billion for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $697.1 million, or 6.0%, from $11.64 billion for the third quarter of 2023.

Average total deposits for the third quarter of 2024 were $13.52 billion, an increase of $653.7 million, or 20.2% annualized, from average total deposits of $12.86 billion for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $838.3 million, or 6.6%, from average total deposits of $12.68 billion for the third quarter of 2023. Ending total deposits for the third quarter of 2024 were $13.15 billion, a decrease of $112.9 million, or 3.4% annualized, from $13.26 billion for the second quarter of 2024, and remained unchanged from $13.14 billion for the third quarter of 2023.

Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.25% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 0.23% for the second quarter of 2024 and 0.15% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in non-performing assets to total assets can primarily be attributed to a single relationship that moved to non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2024. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.09% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 0.10% for the second quarter of 2024 and 0.15% for the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, was 1.31%, 1.28%, and 1.31%, respectively. We recorded a $5.7 million provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2024, $2.7 million of which is a provision for the potential impact of Hurricane Helene, which struck the Florida coast on September 26th and caused widespread damage from Florida to the Carolinas. In early October Hurricane Milton struck the west coast of Florida and tracked across the middle of the state. Management is assessing the impact of both hurricanes to determine if additional provisions are warranted. We recorded provision for credit losses of $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, and $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, we reclassified the Reserve for Unfunded Commitments from Other Liabilities and Other Expenses to Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses, respectively.

Non-interest income increased $414,000, or 5.1%, to $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, and decreased $342,000, or 3.8%, on a linked quarter basis. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $178,000, or 8.2%, to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $48,000, or 2.1%, on a linked quarter basis. Mortgage banking revenue increased $527,000, or 63.9%, to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $825,000 in the third quarter of 2023, and decreased $27,000, or 2.0%, on a linked quarter basis. Net credit card revenue decreased $607,000, or 24.0%, to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, and decreased $408,000, or 17.5%, on a linked quarter basis. Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income increased $295,000, or 16.2%, to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $55,000, or 2.7%, on a linked quarter basis. Other operating income increased $21,000, or 2.6%, to $818,000 for the third quarter of 2024 from $797,000 in the third quarter of 2023, and decreased $10,000, or 1.2%, on a linked quarter basis.

Non-interest expense increased $4.0 million, or 9.5%, to $45.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $41.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $2.8 million, or 6.6%, on a linked quarter basis. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded the impact from election of the proportional amortization method to account for historical and new market tax credit investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits due to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2023-02. The proportional amortization method results in the cost of the investment being amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received, with the amortization of the investment and the income tax credits being presented net in the income statement as a component of income tax expense. Previously the amortization of the investment was included in other non-interest expenses. Salary and benefit expense increased $5.0 million, or 24.8%, to $25.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $20.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $844,000, or 3.5%, on a linked quarter basis. The number of full-time equivalent (“FTE”) employees increased by 52, or 9.2%, to 620 at September 30, 2024 compared to 568 at September 30, 2023, and decreased by 5, or 0.8%, from the end of the second quarter of 2024. The increase in salary and benefit expense year-over-year continues to be largely due to the normalization of incentives and increased salary expenses due to an increase in FTE employees. Incentives increased approximately $1.8 million, and salaries increased approximately $2.1 million from the third quarter of 2023. Equipment and occupancy expense increased $216,000, or 6.0%, to $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $228,000, or 6.4%, on a linked quarter basis. Third party processing and other services expense increased $1.5 million, or 22.7%, to $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $570,000, or 7.6%, on a linked quarter basis. Professional services expense increased $450,000, or 35.6%, to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, and decreased $26,000, or 1.5%, on a linked quarter basis. FDIC and other regulatory assessments increased $9,000, or 0.4%, to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $153,000, or 6.9%, on a linked quarter basis. In the first quarter of 2024, the FDIC implemented a special assessment adjustment to recapitalize the Deposit Insurance Fund resulting in an expense of $1.8 million. See “GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. Other operating expenses decreased $3.3 million, or 41.6%, to $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, and increased $949,000, or 26.2%, on a linked quarter basis. The decrease in other operating expenses were largely due to the application of the proportional amortization method to account for historical and new market tax credit investments, discussed above. The efficiency ratio was 36.90% during the third quarter of 2024 compared to 38.64% during the third quarter of 2023 and 37.31% during the second quarter of 2024.

Income tax expense increased $3.9 million, or 45.9%, to $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. Our effective tax rate was 17.23% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 13.81% for the third 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 third quarters of 2024 and 2023 of $111,000 and $0, 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. 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.
