FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- White River Bancshares Company (OTCQX: WRIV), (the “Company”) the holding company for Signature Bank of Arkansas (the “Bank”), today reported net income increased to $1.83 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $788,000, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. In the preceding quarter, the Company earned $2.74 million, or $1.12 per diluted share. For the full year of 2024, net income increased to $6.93 million, or $3.03 per diluted share, compared to $2.55 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, for the year 2023. All financial results are unaudited and all per share data has been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split issued September 4, 2024.

Results for the fourth quarter of 2024 included a $550,000 provision for credit losses. This compared to a $250,000 release from the allowance for credit losses in the third quarter of 2024. Excluding taxes and credit loss provisions, the Company’s pretax, pre-provision net income was $3.22 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $3.15 million in the third quarter of 2024.

“We had a great year in 2024, driven by the hard work of our team and the trust our customers place in us,” said Gary Head, Chairman and CEO. “Growth in our loan portfolio and a high interest rate environment played a big role, significantly contributing to increased net interest income and profitability relative to the prior year. Fourth quarter results were especially solid, with net income more than doubling compared to the same quarter last year. These strong results were achieved through robust revenue generation, net interest margin expansion, and the $12.46 million private placement of common shares completed earlier in the year. This additional capital has allowed us to fund new loan growth and support our strategic plans. While achieving the second-best year of earnings in our Company’s history is exciting, what matters most is how we’re helping our customers reach their goals and supporting our incredible team. We’re committed to building on this momentum and driving even greater success in 2025.”

“We’ve continued to focus on growing our deposit balances over the last several years, which has allowed us to use these deposits as our primary source of funding new loan growth,” said Scott Sandlin, Chief Strategy Officer. “Total deposits increased 5.5% during the quarter and 14.0% year-over-year. While the deposit mix has changed over the past year as customers pursued higher yielding accounts, we anticipate the mix will start to stabilize with the recent interest rate reductions. At year end, demand and non-interest bearing accounts represented 19.7% of total deposits, and savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts represented 39.3% of total deposits. We see additional opportunities for growing deposits in 2025 as we continue to attract new customers to the Bank.”

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

  • Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased to $1.83 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $788,000, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Hundreds of other market-leading companies including Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola and Rubbermaid maintain offices in the region in order to maintain their relationships with the locally based Fortune 500 companies.

Northwest Arkansas has been repeatedly recognized in recent years as one of the best places to live in the country and remains one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions. In May 2024, Walmart issued a relocation mandate requiring most of its remote employees, as well as most of its office workers in Dallas, Atlanta and Toronto to move to, in most cases, Bentonville by November 1, 2024. While the company did not disclose a number, Bloomberg reported that the number of Walmart employees who would be moving to Bentonville would be in the thousands.

U.S. Steel Corp. announced that it would locate a new $3 billion steel factory in Northeast Arkansas in Osceola, a move expected to create 900 jobs with an average pay over $100,000 annually, making it the largest capital investment project in Arkansas history. Harrison sits below Branson, Missouri, which is a family tourist destination and outdoor recreation, and is well known as an entertainment destination.

The Company currently operates out of ten locations; three in Washington County; three in Benton County; two in Monroe County; one in Boone County; and one in Craighead County.
