FB Financial Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
The Company ended the second quarter of 2025 with loans held for investment ('HFI') of $9.87 billion compared to $9.77 billion at the end of the previous quarter, a 4.22% annualized increase, and $9.31 billion at the end of the second quarter of last year, a 6.07% increase. Deposits were $11.40 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared to $11.20 billion as of March 31, 2025, a 7.21% annualized increase, and $10.47 billion as of June 30, 2024, an 8.94% increase. Net interest margin ('NIM') was 3.68% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 3.55% in the prior quarter and 3.57% in the second quarter of 2024. The Company elected to sell $266.5 million of available-for-sale debt securities in June resulting in a $60.5 million GAAP loss which has been adjusted from earnings in the Company's computations of adjusted results and performance measures for the second quarter. The Company ended the quarter with book value per common share of $35.17 and tangible book value per common share* of $29.78.
President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher T. Holmes stated, 'The Company delivered solid operating results in the second quarter with growth in both loans and customer deposits, a healthy net interest margin and managed expense growth, along with strong capital and liquidity positions. Additionally, we repositioned our balance sheet by selling low-yielding securities which will further enhance both our liquidity and margin moving forward. With the momentum of the quarter, the impact of the balance sheet enhancements and the July 1st closing of the Southern States Bancshares, Inc. ('Southern States') merger, we are well-positioned for the second half of the year.'

Balance Sheet and Net Interest Margin
The Company reported loans HFI of $9.87 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2025, compared to $9.77 billion at the end of the prior quarter. Net growth in loans HFI was driven by increases of $59.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $42.8 million in consumer and other loans, $28.1 million in 1-to-4 family mortgages and $27.6 million in residential lines of credit offset by a decline in multi-family loans of $61.1 million.
Near the end of the second quarter of 2025, the Company elected to sell $266.5 million in available-for-sale debt securities with a weighted average yield of 1.63%. The Company anticipates utilizing the proceeds from this transaction to redeem outstanding subordinated and trust preferred debt, as well as originating higher yielding loans. The securities sold resulted in a GAAP loss of $60.5 million, which has been adjusted from earnings in the Company's computations of adjusted results and performance measures for the second quarter.
The Company reported total deposits of $11.40 billion at the end of the second quarter compared to $11.20 billion at the end of the first quarter. Total cost of deposits decreased to 2.48% during the second quarter compared to 2.54% in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in cost was driven by moving higher cost deposits off the balance sheet. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $2.19 billion at the end of the quarter compared to $2.16 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2025.
The Company reported net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis in the second quarter of 2025 of $112.2 million compared to $108.4 million in the prior quarter. NIM increased to 3.68% for the second quarter of 2025 from 3.55% for the previous quarter. NIM improvement was driven by an increase in yields on earning assets of 8 basis points and a decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 3 basis points. The contractual yield on loans HFI increased to 6.34% from 6.31% in the first quarter of 2025 and the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 3.10% from 3.13% in the previous quarter.
Holmes continued, 'In the second quarter, we took several strategic actions to strengthen the Company's earnings profile, including restructuring our balance sheet. We are deploying the resulting funds to redeem debt, support loan growth and enhance our funding mix in the second half of the year. Our team remains focused on balancing growth, liquidity and credit quality while driving earnings improvement.'
Noninterest Income
Core noninterest income* was $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $23.6 million and $23.8 million for the prior quarter and second quarter of 2024, respectively.
Mortgage banking income was $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $12.4 million in the prior quarter and $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Expense
Core noninterest expense* during the second quarter of 2025 was $78.5 million compared to $79.1 million for the prior quarter and $74.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company's core efficiency ratio* was 56.9%, compared to 59.9% in the previous quarter and 58.3% in the second quarter of 2024. Core banking noninterest expense* was $64.6 million for the quarter, compared to $66.5 million in the prior quarter and $61.2 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Chief Financial Officer Michael Mettee commented, 'Noninterest expense fell within our expectations in the second quarter as we focused on a successful combination with Southern States and the integration of our two institutions. Creating operating leverage remains a key focus as we continue to drive disciplined execution and long-term value.'
Credit Quality
In the second quarter, the Company recorded a provision reversal of $1.1 million related to loans HFI and a provision expense of $6.4 million related to unfunded loan commitments. The Company had an allowance for credit losses on loans HFI as of the end of the second quarter of 2025 of $148.9 million, representing 1.51% of loans HFI compared to $150.5 million, or 1.54% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2025.
The Company had net charge-offs of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing annualized net charge-offs of 0.02% of average loans HFI, compared to 0.14% in the prior quarter and 0.02% in the second quarter of 2024.
The Company's nonperforming loans HFI as a percentage of total loans HFI increased to 0.97% as of the end of the second quarter of 2025, compared to 0.79% at both the previous quarter-end and the end of the second quarter of 2024. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.92% as of the end of the second quarter of 2025, compared to 0.84% at the end of the prior quarter and 0.81% as of the end of the second quarter of 2024.
Holmes commented, 'Our allowance for credit losses and charge-offs remained stable during the quarter. We saw a small uptick in nonperforming assets during the quarter, but loss content remains limited, and charge-offs continue at modest levels. We remain consistent and disciplined in our credit management approach and maintain our positive outlook for our credit portfolio.'
Capital
The Company maintained its strong capital position in the second quarter, resulting in a preliminary total risk-based capital ratio of 14.7%, preliminary common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.3% and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* of 10.4%. The Company repurchased 811,704 shares during the quarter.
Holmes continued, 'With the successful close of our merger with Southern States, the Company enters the second half of the year with enhanced scale and strategic flexibility. We continue to maintain ample capital to support organic growth and pursue inorganic opportunities. Our disciplined approach to capital deployment keeps us well positioned when the right opportunities arise.'
Summary
Holmes finalized, 'As we close the second quarter of 2025, we're pleased to mark the successful closing of our merger with Southern States. This merger expands our size, reach and ability to serve our customers and communities with greater impact. The energy across our combined team is strong, and we're focused on delivering enhanced value and performance. With our increased scale and momentum, we are well-positioned to generate stronger returns for our shareholders and seize the opportunities ahead.'
Southern States transaction
On July 1, 2025, the Company completed its merger with Southern States. At closing, Southern States had approximately $2.87 billion in total assets, loans of $2.32 billion and deposits of $2.47 billion. The Company expects system conversions related to the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Earnings Release that are not historical in nature may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Many of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, shareholders and investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Earnings Release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict their occurrence or how they will affect the Company.
The Company qualifies all forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
GAAP RECONCILIATION AND USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This Earnings Release contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ('GAAP') and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may include, without limitation, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, adjusted pre-tax pre-provision net revenue, consolidated core revenue, consolidated core and segment noninterest expense and consolidated core noninterest income, consolidated core efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis), and adjusted return on average assets and equity. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes certain income and expense items that the Company's management considers to be non-core/adjusted in nature. The Company refers to these non-GAAP measures as adjusted (or core) measures. Also, the Company presents tangible assets, tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, return on average tangible common equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangibles.
The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's performance, financial condition and the efficiency of its operations as management believes such measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons and provide meaningful indications of its operating performance as they eliminate both gains and charges that management views as non-recurring or not indicative of operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrate the effects of significant non-core gains and charges in the current and prior periods. The Company's management also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding the Company's underlying operating performance and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and the other items excluded each vary extensively from company to company, the Company believes that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare the Company's results to the results of other companies. However, the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. Investors should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the Company's Second Quarter 2025 Financial Supplement, which is available at .

Latest Mouser Series Navigates the Balance of AI and Human Expertise in Engineering
DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas, July 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today released its latest installment of the Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) technology series, AI-powered engineering. This installment explores the balancing act of utilizing the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with human expertise. AI-powered tools are now enabling engineers to streamline complex design processes with unprecedented precision. By offloading time-consuming analysis and surfacing design insights faster, AI allows engineers to focus on what they do best: solving high-level challenges, pushing technical boundaries, and crafting sophisticated solutions. As generative intelligence and predictive modeling become more advanced, the synergy between human insight and machine intelligence is redefining how engineering problems are approached and how quickly innovations can reach the market. With proper utilization, engineers can push boundaries, innovate more freely, and ultimately deliver more robust and sophisticated solutions. This human-centric approach to AI integration ensures that technology becomes a trusted collaborator. Engineers remain at the heart of every breakthrough, equipped with the tools to move faster, think bigger, and innovate with greater confidence than ever before. In The Tech Between Us podcast, host Raymond Yin, Mouser Director of Technical Content, is joined by Nemanja Jokanovic, Head of Sales at SnapMagic, to examine the evolution of engineering tools with recent AI integration and how it has impacted the future of design. The In Between The Tech podcast features Nirman Dave, CEO at Zams, as he discusses key factors in determining the quality of AI platforms, the benefits of low-code/no-code programs, and how AI-based tools can be used to enhance designs. "AI is revolutionizing the engineering workflow, enabling us to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy and efficiency," said Yin. "The future lies in creating harmony between human ingenuity and the capabilities provided by AI-powered tools. This installment examines how engineers can master that collaboration to pioneer innovations the world has yet to imagine." In addition to the podcast, the EIT series includes an in-depth video, technical articles, and topic-related infographics, as well as subscriber-exclusive content, diving into how engineers can build a symbiotic relationship between their knowledge and intelligently powered tools. By exploring this relationship with AI, the series provides engineering professionals with the knowledge to develop a new wave of innovative solutions.
