NASHVILLE - On Tuesday, FB Financial Corporation (NYSE:FBK) reported third-quarter adjusted earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, driven by significant margin improvement and the successful integration of Southern States Bancshares.
The parent company of FirstBank saw its shares jump 3% in pre-market trading after the release.
The Tennessee-based bank reported adjusted earnings of $1.07 per share for the third quarter, beating the analyst estimate of $0.96. Revenue reached $173.88 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $168.03 million. The company’s net interest margin expanded to 3.95% from 3.68% in the previous quarter and 3.55% in the same period last year.
Total loans held for investment grew to $12.30 billion, up 29.7% YoY, while total deposits increased to $13.81 billion, up 25.8% from the third quarter of 2024. The growth was primarily driven by the Southern States merger that closed on July 1.
"The Company has aggressive goals in both growth and profitability, and when we assess the year-to-date, I’m proud to say we’ve delivered," said Christopher T. Holmes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We’ve taken deliberate steps to align and optimize both sides of the balance sheet, establishing a strong foundation for future growth and driving a healthy margin."
The company maintained strong credit quality with net charge-offs representing just 0.05% of average loans. Its core efficiency ratio improved to 53.3% from 56.9% in the previous quarter and 58.4% in the third quarter of 2024.
