  • Return on average assets fell to 0.64% from 1.35% in Q3 2023

  • Efficiency ratio worsened to 64.43% from 59.57% in Q3 2023

Insights

First Financial 's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance. The acquisition of SimplyBank significantly impacted the quarter, leading to increased loans, deposits and assets. However, net income decreased to $8.7 million from $16.3 million in Q3 2023, primarily due to higher credit loss provisions of $9.4 million compared to $1.2 million last year.

Key positives include:

  • Net interest income increased 14.63% year-over-year to $47.2 million
  • Net interest margin improved to 3.78% from 3.74% last year
  • Average total loans grew 17.74% year-over-year
  • Book value per share increased 19.82% to $47.93

However, challenges persist:

  • Efficiency ratio worsened to 64.43% from 59.57%
  • Return on average assets declined to 0.64% from 1.35%
  • Non-interest expenses increased 19.5% year-over-year

The SimplyBank acquisition provides growth opportunities but integration costs and higher provisions are pressuring near-term profitability. Investors should monitor the bank's ability to improve efficiency and maintain asset quality in the coming quarters.

The acquisition of SimplyBank marks a significant strategic move for First Financial , expanding its footprint into attractive markets in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia. This expansion has led to substantial growth in key metrics:

  • Total assets increased 14.6% year-over-year to $5.48 billion
  • Total deposits grew 16.74% to $4.72 billion
  • Total loans outstanding rose 19.17% to $3.72 billion

However, the integration has come with short-term costs, impacting profitability. The increase in credit loss provisions to $9.4 million, including $5.5 million related to the acquisition, significantly affected net income.

The bank's net interest margin improvement to 3.78% is a positive sign, especially in the current interest rate environment. Management's expectation of continued margin improvement in coming quarters is encouraging.

The increase in nonperforming loans to $14.1 million and the higher efficiency ratio of 64.43% warrant close monitoring. The bank's ability to manage credit quality and improve operational efficiency post-acquisition will be important for long-term success.

Overall, while the acquisition presents growth opportunities, investors should focus on the bank's ability to successfully integrate SimplyBank and return to pre-acquisition profitability levels in the medium term.
