Insights

First Financial Bankshares reported solid Q3 2024 results, with earnings up 11.61% year-over-year to $55.31 million. Key highlights include:

  • Diluted EPS increased to $0.39, up from $0.35 in Q3 2023
  • Net interest income grew to $107.11 million, with net interest margin improving to 3.50%
  • Loan growth of 10.76% annualized in Q3, reaching $7.72 billion
  • Deposits and repurchase agreements grew 9.14% annualized to $11.81 billion

The bank's efficiency ratio improved to 46.45%, indicating better cost management. However, the provision for credit losses increased to $6.12 million and nonperforming assets rose slightly to 0.83% of loans. The improvement in shareholders' equity to $1.66 billion is noteworthy, driven by reduced unrealized losses in the bond portfolio. Overall, FFIN demonstrates solid growth and profitability in a challenging interest rate environment.

While First Financial Bankshares shows strong growth, there are some risk factors to consider:

  • The allowance for credit losses increased to 1.29% of loans, up from 1.28% a year ago, suggesting slightly higher credit risk.
  • Nonperforming assets rose to 0.83% from 0.57% year-over-year, indicating potential asset quality deterioration.
  • Classified loans increased to $229.92 million from $179.11 million last year, another sign of potential credit stress.

The bank's capital position has improved, with shareholders' equity rising significantly. This provides a buffer against potential losses. The reduction in unrealized losses in the bond portfolio from $639.93 million to $329.82 million is positive, reducing mark-to-market risk. However, investors should monitor credit quality trends closely, as the economic environment remains uncertain. The bank's strong growth in loans and deposits is encouraging but could lead to increased risk if not managed properly.

Additionally, the reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $8.00 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $7.90 million at September 30, 2023.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $32.36 million compared to $28.07 million for the third quarter of 2023. Notable changes for the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the same quarter a year ago are as follows:

  • Trust fee income increased $1.64 million, or 16.36 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Trust revenue has increased primarily due to growth in assets under management to $10.86 billion at September 30, 2024 compared to $9.02 billion at September 30, 2023, and additionally from increases in oil and gas related fees.
  • Available-for-sale securities totaling $113.13 million with an average book yield of 3.53 percent were sold in the third quarter of 2023 resulting in a loss on sales of securities of $972 thousand. There were no securities sales in the third quarter 2024.
  • Recoveries of interest on previously charged-off or nonaccrual loans totaled $1.36 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $698 thousand for the third quarter of 2023.
  • Debit card fees increased by $487 thousand for the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily due to the continued increase in the number of debit cards issued.
  • Mortgage income declined to $3.36 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $3.44 million for the third quarter of 2023 due to stagnant overall origination volume primarily because of the level of mortgage interest rates.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $66.01 million compared to $59.54 million for the third quarter of 2023. Notable changes for the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the same quarter a year ago are as follows:

  • Salary, commissions, and employee benefit costs increased to $37.50 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $32.94 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior year is related primarily to increases of $2.06 million in profit sharing expense, and $288 thousand in officer bonus and incentive accruals related to annualized earnings growth. Additionally, officer and employee salaries increased for additions to the middle market lending team and the audit and risk departments as well as merit-based pay increases over the prior year.
  • Noninterest expenses, excluding salary related costs, increased $1.91 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is largely due to increases in software amortization and expense and legal, tax and professional fees.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 46.45 percent for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 47.62 percent for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease from the same period in the prior year is primarily due to the increase in net interest income. 

As of September 30, 2024, consolidated total assets were $13.58 billion compared to $12.78 billion at September 30, 2023. Loans totaled $7.72 billion at September 30, 2024, compared with loans of $6.99 billion at September 30, 2023.  During the third quarter of 2024, loans grew $203.46 million, or 10.76 percent annualized, when compared to June 30, 2024 balances.

Shareholders' equity was $1.66 billion as of September 30, 2024, compared to $1.52 billion and $1.24 billion at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively, primarily as a result of changes in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") due to the decrease in unrealized losses in the bond portfolio related to lower long-term interest rates. The unrealized loss on the securities portfolio, net of applicable tax, totaled $329.82 million at September 30, 2024, compared to an unrealized loss of $441.56 million at June 30, 2024 and $639.93 million at September 30, 2023.
