Quarterly Highlights
- Solid Loan Growth. Total loans held for investment at December 31, 2022, were
$4.6 billion , an increase of$176.3 million compared to September 30, 2022, or3.98% for the quarter,15.79% annualized. Based on unpaid principal balances,44.1% of loan growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, was attributable to our Dallas Fort Worth region,31.2% to the Houston region,19.7% to the Capital region, and13.6% to the Greater New Orleans region. As of December 31, 2022, approximately35% of Business First’s loan portfolio resides in Texas based on unpaid principal balance. - Management of Net Interest Margin. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, net interest income totaled
$56.1 million and net interest margin and net interest spread were4.06% and3.43% , respectively, compared to$53.5 million ,4.01% and3.65% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Net interest margin excluding loan discount accretion declined from the linked quarter due to a$650,000 acceleration of interest income from full repayment of a nonaccrual loan in July 2022, which accounted for approximately five basis points of the decrease, as well as increased deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) short-term fundings costs during the fourth quarter of 2022, which were mostly offset by increased loan offering rates, repricing, and volume. - Solid Return on Assets and Equity.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (e.g., referenced as “core” or “tangible”) intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. “Core” measures typically adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant activities or transactions that, in management’s opinion, can distort period-to-period comparisons of Business First’s performance. Transactions that are typically excluded from non-GAAP “core” measures include realized and unrealized gains/losses on former bank premises and equipment, investment sales, acquisition-related expenses (including, but not limited to, legal costs, system conversion costs, severance and retention payments, etc.). “Tangible” measures adjust common equity by subtracting goodwill, core deposit intangibles, and customer intangibles, net of accumulated amortization. Management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of Business First’s core business. These non-GAAP disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures are provided at the end of the tables below.

These forward-looking statements may be identified by their reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “could,” or “intend.” We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, in that actual results could differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those factors specified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other public filings.
