Insights

Zions Bancorporation's Q4 2024 results reveal a compelling narrative of financial resilience and strategic execution. The 72% year-over-year increase in earnings per share from $0.78 to $1.34 demonstrates robust fundamental improvement, particularly noteworthy in the current banking environment.

The bank's efficiency metrics are particularly impressive, with revenue growth outpacing expense growth by a factor of more than 2x (9% vs 4%). This operating leverage resulted in a 19% increase in adjusted pre-provision net revenue, indicating strong core business performance.

However, the credit quality narrative requires careful scrutiny. While the 0.24% annualized net loan loss rate appears manageable, the concentration of losses in a single commercial & industrial credit raises questions about risk management practices. The 18% decrease in nonperforming loans to 0.50% of total loans is positive, but the trending increase in classified loans within the commercial real estate portfolio warrants monitoring, especially given the broader commercial real estate market challenges.

Looking ahead, management's optimistic outlook for sustained growth and margin improvement appears credible, supported by:

  • Demonstrated cost control effectiveness
  • Strong collateral and guarantor support in the loan portfolio
  • Improving net interest margin trajectory

However, investors should monitor the commercial real estate exposure and potential credit quality deterioration, as these could impact future performance despite management's confident outlook.

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zions Bancorporation, N.A. (NASDAQ: ZION) ("Zions" or "the Bank") today reported net earnings applicable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2024 of $200 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, compared with net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $116 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, and net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $204 million, or $1.37 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2024.

Harris H. Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Zions Bancorporation, commented, "We're pleased with the continued improvement in the financial performance demonstrated by our fourth quarter results. Adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue increased 9% relative to year-ago levels, while adjusted noninterest expense increased 4%, resulting in a 19% increase in adjusted pre-provision net revenue."

Mr. Simmons continued, "Net loan losses were higher in the quarter, at an annualized rate of 0.24%, with two-thirds of the net loss amount attributable to a single commercial & industrial credit. At the same time, nonperforming loans decreased 18% relative to the third quarter, to 0.50% of total loans. While classified loans have continued to increase, primarily in the commercial real estate portfolio, strong collateral and guarantor support mitigate the risk of significant defaults and losses in this portfolio."

Mr. Simmons concluded, "We're optimistic that the coming year will produce sustained growth, continued improvement in our net interest margin, and increased profitability."
