Q: Can you provide more details on the deposit costs and your expectations for the rest of the year? A: Chris Holmes, President and CEO, explained that deposit costs have been challenging and are expected to remain so due to various payment streams and ways to hold money. Michael Mettee, CFO, added that the modest decrease in deposit costs was driven more by mix than competition. New deposits are coming in at higher costs, and the focus remains on deepening relationships and growing wallet share to manage costs. Q: What is the outlook for loan growth, and how do you see the composition of loans evolving? A: Chris Holmes noted that while residential mortgages have been retained more recently, the focus will shift towards C&I loans. Michael Mettee added that the secondary market conditions have led to more aggressive portfolio rates, creating opportunities to convert mortgage clients into full bank clients. The expectation is for loan growth to be more weighted towards C&I in the future. Q: Can you discuss the competitive environment for loans and any repricing opportunities? A: Michael Mettee stated that the loan market is as competitive as deposits, with a spot rate around 6.40%. There is some pressure on yields, but the bank has seen repricing from the 2021 vintage, with about a billion dollars to go in the back half of the year. The yield curve steepening is beneficial, and 52% of the loan book is floating, which should help with repricing. Q: How are you approaching capital deployment, particularly regarding share repurchases? A: Chris Holmes explained that the company completed a significant share repurchase transaction during the quarter, primarily from a charity related to the Ayers estate. The capital deployment strategy focuses on supporting organic growth while maintaining flexibility for strategic opportunities. Share repurchases remain an option, and the company is price-sensitive in its approach. Q: What are your thoughts on strategic opportunities, such as acquisitions, and how do you view pricing in the current environment? A: Chris Holmes mentioned that there are ample opportunities for acquisitions, particularly for institutions under $2 billion. However, the company is cautious about disruption and requires both strategic and financial value to justify an acquisition. The current environment has impacted valuations, and the company has not pursued many deals due to these considerations.

FB Financial Corporation Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Performance was driven by broad-based loan growth across metro and community markets in the Southeast, reflecting strong execution in an increasingly competitive environment. Management attributes the 8% increase in PPNR to a combination of stable net interest margins, disciplined expense management, and a growing balance sheet. The company is prioritizing organic growth and deepening customer relationships, specifically targeting operating accounts to secure lower-cost core funding. Strategic positioning remains focused on the Southeast, which management identifies as the most attractive region for business activity despite rising competition for talent and clients. Capital allocation was highlighted by significant share repurchases, including a large transaction with a charity associated with the Jim Ayers estate, demonstrating confidence in long-term value. The mortgage strategy shifted toward retaining more production in the portfolio to enhance balance sheet yields and strengthen broader banking relationships. Management expects full-year loan growth in the mid to high single-digit range, supported by healthy pipelines in markets like Nashville and Birmingham. Deposit growth is anticipated to trend toward the lower end of the mid to high single-digit range due to intense competition and higher customer acquisition costs. The net interest margin forecast for the full year remains at 3.7% to 3.8%, assuming one rate hike in the third quarter of 2026. Expenses are expected to normalize in the second half of the year as the company continues to invest in talent and revenue-generating associates. The company maintains a consolidated efficiency ratio target of approximately 50%, aiming for positive operating leverage as revenue growth outpaces expenses. Provision expense increased to $10.1 million, primarily driven by loan growth and specific reserves for two individually evaluated credits. Non-performing loans increased due to three specific relationships, though management characterized these as borrower-specific rather than indicative of broader portfolio weakness. A modest portion of the reserve build resulted from softer economic forecasts incorporated into the allowance for credit loss estimation process…Read full document

The company repurchased approximately 3% of its outstanding shares during the quarter, utilizing its strong capital position to enhance shareholder value. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management noted that while deposit costs declined 1 basis point this quarter due to mix, new money market production is coming in at 4% or higher. The strategy to mitigate rising costs involves empowering frontline staff with rate authority to secure full operating relationships rather than just chasing rate-sensitive deposits. Growth was led by residential real estate and non-owner occupied CRE, but management expects future growth to be more weighted toward C&I. Retaining mortgages in the portfolio is a tactical move to avoid disrupting clients by selling servicing rights, thereby facilitating better cross-selling of other bank products. Management remains cautious on M&A, stating that the high bar for financial and strategic value makes organic growth more attractive than the disruption of an acquisition. Current opportunities are mostly among institutions smaller than $2 billion, but valuation gaps persist between buyer and seller expectations.

FB Financial Q2 Earnings Call Highlights

MarketBeat
Interested in FB Financial Corporation? Here are five stocks we like better. FB Financial posted solid Q2 results with EPS of $1.13 and adjusted EPS of $1.14, while net income reached $58.6 million. Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue rose about 8% sequentially, and management said the bank remains well-positioned with strong balance sheet growth and stable margins. Loan growth was strong, but deposit competition remains intense. Loans grew at an 11.6% annualized pace and deposits at 7.7%, though management said deposit pricing is still competitive and full-year deposit growth expectations are now toward the lower end of the mid- to high-single-digit range. Credit pressure was limited to a few specific relationships, even as non-performing loans and assets rose in the quarter. Management said the increase was driven mostly by three borrower-specific credits, while net charge-offs stayed low at six basis points annualized and capital ratios remained comfortably above regulatory requirements. FB Financial (NYSE:FBK) reported higher second-quarter 2026 earnings and balance sheet growth, with management pointing to broad-based loan demand across its Southeast footprint while acknowledging continued pressure from competition for deposits and lending relationships. President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Holmes said the company reported earnings per share of $1.13 and adjusted earnings per share of $1.14. Net income totaled $58.6 million, or $58.9 million on an adjusted basis. Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue rose to $83.3 million, an increase of approximately 8% from the prior quarter, which Holmes said lifted the company’s pre-provision net revenue return on average assets above 2%. → The SK Hynix IPO and 2027’s AI Memory Squeeze Holmes said tangible book value per share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, has grown at an 11.3% compound annual growth rate since the company’s 2016 initial public offering. “As I reflect on the second quarter, our company is well-positioned and our outlook is bullish,” Holmes said.

He cited “sustainable momentum” across the franchise, strong balance sheet growth, stable net interest margin, solid returns and improved financial positioning through capital deployment. → This Dividend ETF Choice Could Shape Your Income Strategy Through 2026 Chief Financial and Operating Officer Michael Mettee said loans grew at an annualized rate of 11.6% during the quarter, while deposits grew 7.7% annualized. He said loan growth was broad-based, including metro markets such as Birmingham, Memphis and Huntsville, as well as community markets including Lexington, Tennessee; Auburn, Tuscaloosa and Florence in Alabama; and Columbus and Newnan in Georgia. Mettee said FB Financial remains comfortable with its expectation for full-year loan growth in the mid- to high-single-digit range. For deposits, he said the company still expects full-year growth in the mid- to high-single-digit range, though current expectations are toward the lower end of that range. → Microsoft Bets on In-House AI to Cut OpenAI and Anthropic Costs Deposit competition was a major topic during the question-and-answer session. Holmes said deposits remain challenging, telling analysts that “today’s going to be the easiest day of your career to get deposits because tomorrow it’s going to be a little harder.” He said the company continues to focus on non-interest-bearing accounts and operating relationships, while also using brokered deposits selectively when pricing is attractive. Mettee said deposit costs declined modestly during the quarter to 2.26%, but new deposit production around quarter-end was coming in at blended rates of roughly 2.60% to 2.70%. He said the lower overall deposit cost was driven more by mix than by reduced competition, and noted that money market rates remain competitive while CD pricing has been steadier. FB Financial’s net interest margin was 3.95% for the quarter. Mettee said the margin was supported by stable contractual loan rates and all-in loan yields of 6.48%. New loan production near quarter-end was in the 6.35% to 6.40% range. Mettee said the company’s outlook assumes one rate hike in the third quarter of 2026, though he said the timing and magnitude of rate actions remain uncertain. He said the company remains comfortable with its full-year net interest margin forecast, excluding loan accretion, of 3.70% to 3.80%. In response to an analyst question, Mettee said loan pricing is “almost just as competitive as deposits,” adding that the company expects some margin pressure over the remainder of the year. He said about 52% of the loan book is floating-rate, and roughly $1 billion of loans from older vintages is expected to reprice in the back half of the year. Non-interest income declined modestly to $25.8 million, or $26.2 million on an adjusted basis. Mettee said recurring fee categories including service charges, interchange income and assets under management revenue benefited from customer growth and the additional day in the quarter. Mortgage banking revenue declined by $1.1 million, which Mettee attributed to a higher proportion of new lock production being retained in the portfolio rather than sold into the secondary market. He said that mix shift reduces upfront gain-on-sale income but supports balance sheet growth, attractive loan yields and broader customer relationships. Holmes said FB Financial generally originates mortgages to sell, though it may retain some production from time to time. Mettee said the company has become “a little bit more aggressive” on portfolio mortgage rates in order to convert mortgage clients into broader banking customers. Non-interest expense totaled $91.5 million, down approximately 4% from the first quarter, or approximately 2% on an adjusted basis. Mettee said expense trends benefited from seasonal compensation patterns, disciplined expense management and the absence of merger-related costs. The company’s efficiency ratio improved to 52.3%, while its banking segment efficiency ratio was 49.5%. Mettee said FB Financial continues to expect banking segment non-interest expense of $325 million to $335 million for the year and expects the consolidated efficiency ratio to finish the year at or around 50%. Provision expense rose to $10.1 million, an increase of approximately $7 million from the prior quarter. Mettee said most of the reserve build was associated with loan growth, with the remainder tied to specific reserves on two individually evaluated credits and softer economic forecasts used in the allowance process. The allowance coverage ratio ended the quarter at 1.51%. Non-performing loan and non-performing asset ratios increased during the quarter, driven almost entirely by three relationships. Mettee said two were the individually evaluated credits that carried specific reserves, while the third was a well-collateralized credit with a near-term workout plan. He said management believes the situations are borrower-specific and do not reflect broader portfolio weakness. Net charge-offs remained low at six basis points annualized. FB Financial repurchased approximately 3% of its outstanding shares during the quarter. Holmes said about two-thirds of the repurchase activity came through a single transaction with a charity that received shares as part of the administration of the estate of Jim Ayers. He said the transaction reflected the company’s capital strength and confidence in its long-term prospects. Mettee said the company’s capital ratios remain well above regulatory requirements, with a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 11%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.1% and total risk-based capital of 12.9%. In response to an analyst question, management said it is comfortable with capital levels and continues to monitor tangible common equity and CET1 ratios closely. Asked about strategic opportunities, Holmes said the company continues to evaluate potential acquisitions but remains focused on organic growth. He said many available opportunities are smaller institutions, generally less than $2 billion in assets, and that acquisitions must offer both strategic and financial value to justify disruption to the company’s organic momentum. “Our focus continues to be maximizing the significant organic opportunities already in front of us,” Holmes said. FB Financial Corporation, through its banking subsidiary FirstBank, is a Tennessee-based bank holding company that provides a broad range of financial services to individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and commercial clients. Established to serve the banking needs of communities across the southeastern United States, the company's core offerings include consumer and commercial deposit products, commercial lending, and mortgage services.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the FB Financial Corporation second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Following the prepared remarks, we will open the call to questions. Please note that today's conference call is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Rachel Doreski, Financial Management Associate for FB Financial. Please go ahead.

Rachel Doreski

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today for FB Financial's second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. Joining me on the call this morning is Chris Holmes, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Michael Mettee, Chief Financial and Operating Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind listeners that during today's call, management may make forward-looking statements regarding the company's plans, expectations, and outlook. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed. Additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties, including risk factors that could cause actual results to differ, can be found in our earnings release, our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. FB Financial undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Rachel Doreski

In addition, today's discussion may include references to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are available on our second quarter 2026 financial supplement, posted to the investor relations section of our website at www.firstbankonline.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mr. Chris Holmes.

Chris Holmes

All right. Thank you, Rachel. Thanks to everybody for joining us on the call this morning and for your interest in FB Financial. We reported EPS of $1.13 and adjusted EPS of $1.14, and have grown our tangible book value per share, excluding the impact of AOCI, at a compound annual growth rate of 11.3% since our IPO in 2016. Our net income was $58.6 million, and $58.9 million on an adjusted basis. Our pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased to $83.3 million, which represents an increase of approximately 8% in the quarter. This improves our PPR return on average assets over 2%, which we consider to be our benchmark for returns. We grew loans at an annualized rate of 11.6% and deposits at 7.7% annualized. Growth this quarter was strong, which reflects the hard work, discipline, and execution of our teams across the company.

Chris Holmes

As I reflect on the second quarter, our company is well-positioned and our outlook is bullish. What I'm most excited about is the sustainable momentum that we're seeing across the franchise. This quarter was marked by strong balance sheet growth, stable net interest margin, solid returns, and an improved financial position, through thoughtful capital deployment, including meaningful share repurchases during the quarter. Just as importantly, the activity across our footprint give us confidence in the road ahead. Our pipelines are healthy, our markets continue to perform well, and we're seeing continued momentum in attracting talent and winning new client relationships. What continues to differentiate FirstBank is that our success is not dependent on a single factor. It's the combination of award-winning customer service, strong and growing markets, disciplined execution, talented associates, and a strong financial position that allows us to invest in growth while maintaining a conservative risk profile.

Chris Holmes

We remain focused on getting better every day by improving our execution, raising our level of client service, and deepening our presence in the attractive markets across the Southeast. As we look ahead, we see sustainable opportunity in front of us. Before turning the call over to Michael, I'd like to briefly cover our share repurchase activity during the quarter. Approximately two-thirds of our repurchase activity this quarter was completed through a single transaction with a charity that received shares as part of the administration of the estate of Jim Ayers. We remain a constructive partner with those responsible for the administration of the estate and its beneficiaries. This transaction, along with the other repurchases during the quarter, reiterates our commitment to investing in our business and deploying capital in a disciplined manner.

Chris Holmes

That transaction reflects both the strength of our capital position and our continued confidence in the long-term value and prospects of our company. To conclude my remarks, our capital reserve and liquidity positions remain strong, and we believe the franchise is well positioned to continue to deliver profitable growth and long-term shareholder value. We remain confident in our ability to grow organically through disciplined execution. While we evaluate strategic opportunities as they arise, our focus continues to be maximizing the significant organic opportunities already in front of us. With that, I'm going to turn the call over to our Chief Financial and Chief Operating Officer, Michael Mettee, for more color on the quarter. Thank you. Michael?

Michael Mettee

Thank you, Chris, and good morning, everyone. I'll begin my comments this quarter with the balance sheet. This quarter's results reflect the growth and momentum that we highlighted the last quarter with annualized loan growth of 11.6% and annualized deposit growth of 7.7%. Our teams continue executing at the highest level in an increasingly competitive environment, and our results demonstrate that our value proposition continues to resonate across our markets.

Michael Mettee

We saw this most clearly in our loan portfolio, where growth was broad-based across our footprint in metro markets including Birmingham, Memphis, and Huntsville, and throughout our community markets like Lexington, Tennessee, Auburn, Tuscaloosa, and Florence in Alabama, and Columbus and Newnan in Georgia. This balanced growth reflects the strength of our teams and demonstrates our ability to execute consistently across our geography. We believe our ability to consistently deliver strong financial advice, trusted service, and a differentiated customer experience sets us apart. As the Southeast remains the most attractive part of the country to live and work, we are seeing increased competition in pricing, recruiting, and customer acquisition. Even so, our focus remains consistent, growing the franchise organically by delivering competitive products, responsive service, and making FirstBank the easiest institution to do business with. We strike a balance between growth and profitability, and this quarter reflects that discipline.

Michael Mettee

We produce strong balance sheet growth while maintaining a stable margin and generating strong returns with an adjusted return on average tangible common equity of 15% and a pre-provision net revenue return on average assets above 2%. Ultimately, these results reinforce what we've long believed, that building deep, long-term customer relationships remains the best path to creating sustainable value for our shareholders. Looking ahead, we continue to see a healthy pipeline and remain encouraged by the level of business activity across our footprint. We remain comfortable with our expectation for full-year loan growth in the mid to high single-digit range. Deposits remain highly competitive, and our funding strategy continues to prioritize organically generated core deposits. We expect full-year deposit growth to remain within our previously communicated range of mid to high single digits, but we currently anticipate those results trending towards the lower end of that range.

Michael Mettee

Turning to earnings, we grew in both net income and pre-tax, pre-provision revenue during the quarter, totaling $58.6 million and $83.3 million, respectively. Our results were driven by stable margin performance on a growing balance sheet, disciplined expense management, and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher level of provision expense. Our net interest margin was 3.95% for the quarter, supported by stable contractual interest rates on loans and all-in loan yields of 6.48%. New loan production near quarter end was coming in in the 6.35%-6.4% range. Deposit costs declined modestly to 2.26%, while blended rates on new production around quarter end were in the 2.60%-2.70% range. Like the rest of the industry, we continue to monitor the outlook for benchmark interest rates closely.

Michael Mettee

While the timing and magnitude of future rate actions remain uncertain, our current outlook assumes one rate hike in the third quarter of 2026. As we move through the second half of the year, we expect elevated competitive dynamics on pricing as institutions compete for both loans and deposits. Between those two factors, we remain comfortable with our full-year net interest margin forecast, excluding loan accretion of 3.70%-3.8%. We know that the environment can change quickly, but we believe that our balance sheet remains well-positioned to perform across a variety of interest rate scenarios. Non-interest income declined modestly to $25.8 million during the quarter, but increased to $26.2 million on an adjusted basis. Recurring fee categories such as service charges, interchange income, and assets under management revenue all benefited from continued customer growth and the additional day in the quarter.

Michael Mettee

Within mortgage banking, revenue declined $1.1 million as a greater proportion of new lock production was retained in the portfolio rather than sold into the secondary market. While this mix shift reduces upfront gain on sale income, it has enhanced balance sheet growth, generated attractive loan yields, and strengthened broader customer relationships by creating additional opportunities for deposits and other banking services. Non-interest expense totaled $91.5 million during the quarter, down approximately 4% from the first quarter, or approximately 2% on an adjusted basis. Expense trends benefited from normal seasonal compensation patterns, disciplined expense management, and the absence of merger-related costs. As revenues expanded and expenses declined, we generated strong positive operating leverage during the quarter, highlighting the earnings power of the franchise when the balance sheet and fee businesses are performing well.

Michael Mettee

As a result, our efficiency ratio improved to 52.3%, while our banking segment had a sub 50 efficiency ratio of 49.5%. Looking ahead, we continue to expect expenses to normalize during the second half of the year as we invest in talent and growth across the franchise. While we remain disciplined on expenses, we continue to see opportunities to create positive operating leverage as revenue growth outpaces expense growth. Accordingly, we're maintaining our banking segment non-interest expense outlook of $325 million-$335 million, and we continue to expect the consolidated efficiency ratio to finish the year at or around 50%. Turning to credit, provision expense was $10.1 million for the quarter, an increase of approximately $7 million, and our allowance coverage ratio ended the period at 1.51%.

Michael Mettee

The majority of the reserve build was associated with loan growth, with the remainder driven by specific reserves on two individually evaluated credits, and a modest portion of the increase resulted from somewhat softer economic forecasts incorporated into our allowance for credit loss estimation process. Non-performing loan and non-performing asset ratios both increased during the quarter and were driven almost entirely by three relationships. Two of those relationships are the two individually evaluated credits that I just referenced that led to specific reserves, while the third is a well-collateralized credit with a near-term workout plan in place. Our teams remain actively engaged with these relationships and based on our analysis, believe that these situations are borrower-specific and do not reflect broader weakness within the portfolio.

Michael Mettee

Importantly, net charge-offs remain low at six basis points annualized, which is generally consistent with our long-term performance and reflects both the strength of our underwriting discipline and our ability to effectively manage credit relationships when challenges arise. Our outlook for both our markets and our franchise remains positive. At the same time, we recognize that factors such as geopolitical developments, monetary policy decisions, and housing market conditions remain largely outside of our control and can influence our customers' environment and behavior. One of the advantages of our community banking model is the depth of our customer relationships, which allows us to identify emerging risks early and respond quickly, and we'll continue to take a proactive approach as the macroeconomic environment evolves. With respect to capital, we remain in a position of considerable strength, supported by robust capital ratios and a strong liquidity profile.

Michael Mettee

As Chris mentioned, we completed another meaningful share repurchase transaction during the quarter from a charity that received shares from the heirs' ownership. In total, we repurchased approximately 3% of our outstanding shares during the quarter. Our capital deployment strategy remains centered on supporting organic growth while maintaining the flexibility to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value, like the repurchase this quarter. We continually evaluate a range of capital allocation alternatives and move on the opportunities that are strategically compelling and economically attractive. As a result, our capital ratios remain well above the regulatory requirements with a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 11%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.1%, and a total risk-based capital of 12.9%. In closing, I'd like to thank our associates for their hard work, dedication, and continued commitment to our customers.

Michael Mettee

We enter the second half of the year with strong momentum, healthy pipelines, and confidence in the opportunities ahead. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Chris.

Chris Holmes

All right. Thank you, Michael, and thanks to everybody for tuning in to the call this morning and for your interest in FB Financial. Operator, at this time, I'd like to open the line for questions.

Please go ahead with your question.

Catherine Mealor

Thanks. Good morning.

Chris Holmes

Good morning, Catherine.

Michael Mettee

Morning.

Catherine Mealor

I wanted to start on deposit cost. It was great to see the deposit cost decline a basis point this quarter. I know you mentioned that new production's coming on around 260 to 270, but just wanted to see if you could just give a little bit more color around just deposit flows, your confidence in still being able to grow deposits at a mid-single-digit pace, and maybe just from a big picture perspective, where you think overall deposit costs trend for the rest of the year. Is this kind of a couple basis points kind of increase per quarter kind of thing, or how should we just kind of think of the trajectory of the overall deposit cost the next couple quarters? Thanks.

Chris Holmes

Hey, Catherine, and good morning. This is Chris, and I'm going to take the first just kind of overall. I would say this: deposits have been challenging, but I don't think we even have to say that anymore. As I tell our team every day, I said, "Today's going to be the easiest day of your career to get deposits because tomorrow it's going to be a little harder." I think that whole world is continuing. You've heard me say this before, and as we have private conversations, I think it's going to continue to be a challenge, just because of the many different payment streams that you have now and the many different ways to hold money. We're aware of that. We continue to adjust our strategy to meet that. That's a big picture.

Chris Holmes

When you narrow that in over the next couple of quarters, I'm going to let Michael talk a little bit more specifically about our flows. We saw success, obviously, this quarter. Non-interest bearing, as you saw, we had a nice increase in non-interest bearing. That's a focus for us. We also did a little bit more in broker than we usually do, but that's because it was just cheaper. That's not something that we like to use to fund our balance sheet, but when it's cheaper, we'll use it. It had a swung. It swings and it swung. Now it's a little more expensive. We think it's a focus, going to continue to be a focus and it's going to be tough, but we think we can do similar to what we did in the second quarter.

Chris Holmes

We think we can do close to that throughout the balance of the year. Michael, I'll let you take from there.

Michael Mettee

Good morning, Catherine, and as well said, Chris, I think The decrease, the modest decrease in deposit cost is actually driven more by mix than it was competition, as you noted, and I mentioned, Catherine, that 260-270 range blended on new deposits. I think money market rates have continued to move higher from a competitive perspective. At the same time, we've seen CD rates modestly decline in our book, but hold pretty steady. You kind of have a tale of 3 different types of deposits between non-interest bearing money market and CDs, and customers are kind of moving in and out of where they're most comfortable, whether that's locking in duration or wanting liquidity. It's interesting. I think you do see deposit costs move higher, just because as Chris mentioned, it's never going to get easier than now.

Michael Mettee

Fed Funds has been relatively stable for six months or so, that's helped with our index deposits remain flat. We're seeing new money market in that 4% plus range from a lot of competitors. I think you continue to see new deposits come on at a higher cost, and it's just cost of customer acquisition is going up. The way you keep deposit costs modest is by deepening relationships and growing wallet share and creating value for customers. The team did a good job with that. We do understand that customer acquisition is going to be more expensive.

Chris Holmes

Can I just say one other thing? When we say deepening relationships, we mean having an operating account. We don't mean getting relationships that become lazy, and we don't pay them a market rate. That is not what we mean. When we say getting relationships, in our language, that means getting the operating account.

Catherine Mealor

That makes sense. To be clear, that 260-270, that's blended total. That includes the NIB growth you had, the kind of 4% money market you're talking about, and then also the kind of maybe more stable CDs. Is that a way to think about that?

Michael Mettee

100%. Yeah. Blended rate of our cost deposit is 226. Even on a blended basis, new deposits are coming in higher than our deposit cost.

Catherine Mealor

Maybe the other side of the margin, just thinking about loan yields, can you talk about what the competition looks like on the lending side? Is there still enough back book repricing opportunity to still be able to offset the higher deposit costs with higher asset yields on the loan side?

Michael Mettee

Well, I'd say loans really almost just as competitive as deposits. I think it's important on the relationship side that you're getting first shot with your clients to help them with financing, whether it's refinancing or new projects, and I think we're getting our fair share of those. Being around 640-ish for June really is what I'd say is kind of spot rates. We're seeing that start to feel a little bit of pressure as well. It's equally as competitive, although the economic environment has allowed for growth and a lot of business across our markets for us and our competitors, I would say. Repricing, yeah, we've had quite a bit repriced from kind of that 2021 vintage, and there's probably $1 billion or so to go in the back half of the year. I think you got a couple of things going on.

Michael Mettee

You got a yield curve steepening, which is actually good for us. You got 50%, 52% of our book is floating. Theoretically, that should reprice higher, it's coming on at tighter yields than we'd have expected if we started the year and looked at repricing. It's a little bit of a squeeze there as well, which is why we kind of have a blended margin reduction of a couple basis points a quarter through the end of the year.

Catherine Mealor

Great. That makes sense. Thanks. Great quarter, guys. Appreciate it.

Chris Holmes

Thanks, Catherine.

Operator

Our next question comes from Stephen Scouten from Piper Sandler. Please go ahead with your question.

Stephen Scouten

Yeah, thanks, everyone. Just wanted to dig into the loan growth here a little bit. Obviously very strong and helped by y'all retaining more of the resi mortgages. I'm just wondering if moving forward, that's likely to be a continued strategy and just with growth being led by resi and seemingly non-owner-occupied CRE, is that also composition-wise what we should expect to see? Would you hope that that would be weighted more towards C&I potentially in the future?

Chris Holmes

Yeah. It should be a little more weighted towards C&I. We certainly don't mind those categories that you mentioned, but we'd likely get some nice C&I between now and the end of the year. On the mortgage, generally, we originate to sell. We will keep some things. From time to time, we'll keep a little bit, and we have gotten much better at making sure we convert those to full customers. Used to, we would sell every loan. Still, our strategy is to sell those. From time to time, we may keep some pieces.

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Stephen, good morning. Just to dive into that a little bit. Where the secondary market is when you sell a loan, a lot of the servicing is getting sold away because of what third parties are willing to pay for servicing. We're disrupting the decline a little bit, and our ability to grow deposits off that business is a little more complicated. In the first quarter into the second quarter, we got a little bit more aggressive on our portfolio rates, which has created a lot of customer relationship opportunities, turning mortgage clients into full bank clients, which is a focus that's been really successful. I will say, the headline number you mentioned, $145 million or so on residential real estate, about $60 million of that's actually kind of one to four families, $50 million's multifamily.

Michael Mettee

You have some line of credit things that are part of that as well. It's not all coming specifically from the mortgage division. It's across the banking footprint. It's a little bit of point of clarity that I could probably point to versus converting the mortgage pipeline.

Stephen Scouten

Got it. Makes sense. Kind of the guide to the lower end of the growth range of mid to high single digits. I think you said currently leaning towards the lower end of that range. What's the expected kind of constraint there? Because it seems like maybe you're kind of at the mid to higher end of that range currently. Is that more loan-to-deposit ratio getting to a point where funding becomes more essential? Is it slowdown in the pipeline? Just kind of context on why you think that might be towards the lower end there.

Michael Mettee

Yeah. I'm glad you asked that question, Stephen, because I obviously didn't communicate that well. Loan growth, we're saying mid to high single digits. I think we feel good about what loan growth is. Deposits, it's more of a competitive kind of way that we're thinking about it into that mid-single digits. As Chris mentioned, funding kind of was a lot cheaper from a brokered perspective. It's cheaper to borrow. Those things have kind of flipped. You got to make sure you're always getting core relationships. I think the beauty of our balance sheets, we've got a lot of optionality to take advantage of opportunities as they arise because we have such a low brokered percentage. We can fund the bank in a lot of different ways while we build core relationships. For clarity, it was the deposit piece that's that kind of mid-single digits.

Michael Mettee

Loan growth, we think, is that higher single-digit number.

Stephen Scouten

I'm sorry. I'm sure you said it right. I probably just misheard it. Apologies there. Lastly from me, just on the repurchase, I think you kind of noted, obviously, the charity impact there. Maybe that was two-thirds. I guess ex that, it would've been around 500,000 shares, give or take. Is that a way to think about the use of the remainder of the $175 million repurchase authorization moving forward? Or would it be slowed down given the acceleration of that charity-related repurchase? Or just how do we think about that capital return from here?

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Your approximations are right. Outside of that large repurchase, it would've been plus or minus half million shares. I think you're thinking of it correctly. Of course, we're price sensitive when we think about repurchase, at least to some degree. We anticipate that it's going to continue being an option for us, repurchasing the open market or to maybe make some bulk repurchases from time to time. That could become an option for us as well. Should be maintained as an option for us as well.

Stephen Scouten

Got it. Thanks so much for the color. Really nice quarter. Sounds like a lot of things are going well. Appreciate it.

Michael Mettee

Thanks, Stephen. Appreciate it.

Operator

Our next question comes from Russell Gunther from Stephens. Please go ahead with your question.

Russell Gunther

Hey, good morning, guys.

Michael Mettee

Good morning.

Russell Gunther

Morning. On the loan growth discussion, as you think about the organic opportunity going forward, are incremental LPOs something you guys would look to do? If so, directionally, geographically, where might that take you?

Michael Mettee

Anytime we do an LPO, we're doing that with intent to be in the market, with a full banking offering. We usually do that by going in commercial first, and then over time, we'll get a little more retail. That's usually a long period of time. When we think about that, usually, we've described the geographies that we're interested in, and they're generally around our current geographies, mostly east and south of where we are. We actually think of that by the bankers first. We have this targeted geography, but it's a little like even an acquisition. We think through those beforehand. We've got folks that we're looking at, thinking about in different places, and if we get the opportunity, then we will do it. It's the old phrase, banks are sold, they're not bought.

Michael Mettee

Bankers are a little bit the same way. They come available, for whatever reason, and that's when we tend to make the move.

Russell Gunther

Got it. Okay. Thanks, Chris. Just one quick follow-up on the margin for me. You guys are dialing in a rate hike later this year or this quarter. Just in isolation, could you remind us of what that means to the margin for you guys? On the funding side, quantify where index deposits stand today?

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Russell, good morning. We're slightly asset sensitive, incrementally, you would think that a rate hike would actually help, because loan yields were variable, 52%. Our investment portfolio, while small, it's mighty, with a floating rate of 55%-60%. Higher rates actually helps that to the tune of a couple million dollars. Maybe it's the being in the hand-to-hand combat every day, I see what our teams are dealing with. We feel like that's pretty much offset by the deposit growth story, and where margin, where rates are headed on that. You'd see incremental improvements, but I think the competition kind of eats into that a bit. We're probably, I would say, 40% indexed on total deposits and 67%, if you think about money market, give or take.

Russell Gunther

Great. Okay. Thank you both for taking my questions.

Michael Mettee

Thanks, Russell.

Chris Holmes

Thanks, Russell.

Operator

Our next question comes from Dave Rochester from Cantor. Please go ahead with your question.

Dave Rochester

Hey, good morning, guys.

Michael Mettee

Good morning, Dave.

Dave Rochester

On your loan outlook, it sounds like you guys are pretty bullish on the back half of the year, and you just wrapped up a solid quarter of growth across a number of buckets. Can you just maybe give an update on any other pay-down activity you may see coming up that you know about? What's stopping you guys from hitting the top end of that mid to high singles range given the momentum you're seeing?

Michael Mettee

Yeah, Dave, good morning. Actually, that's an insightful question there. I'll give you an example. We had one of the largest production quarters we've had in a long time out of the Nashville market. It's really, really strong. We actually ended up bouncing. If you look just at Nashville, it's flat because of payoff activity and hundreds of millions of dollars on both sides. In a lot of our markets, you're still seeing increased payoff activity, especially in the highly competitive ones like this one. I think that's kind of what we're trying to deal with. You saw the 11%-ish growth, because we have contributors across the footprint. We have really strong economies, and so that's why we're really bullish. The teams are out working hard every day to acquire new clients, and provide value to those prospects.

Michael Mettee

Pipeline, I tell you, the pipeline's just as big as when it was we started the second quarter. That's after you've seen the growth, and that's why we're pretty bullish. We've been really successful on a couple recent customer competitive situations, and that gives us a lot of confidence in where we're headed as well.

Dave Rochester

Sounds good. You mentioned also success in attracting talent, and seeing more potential for that in the back half of the year. Can you just catch us up on those recent hires you've had and just give an update on how you're thinking about the size of that opportunity to pick up more talent, just given the stronger competitive pressures for talent out there with all the new entrants and whatnot? Thanks.

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Thanks, Dave. On attracting talent, we have had some wins there also, and we continue to add. The way that we look at it is maybe individual to us. I don't know that we look at it like everybody. For us, it's long term, and our key metric is revenue growth. When we're tracking talent, we're really thinking about the right talent that fits us and is going to be here long term. We're trying to make good decisions there. We don't view that as a quarterly metric. We view that as long term. Some folks we've been talking to for years. At the right time, we feel like those folks will come over. We added some during the quarter. Frankly, it's a lot like when we're reporting quarterly earnings. You got a June 30th cutoff.

Michael Mettee

We probably added more in the last, I don't know, two weeks than we did the last two months. Again, you don't really control that pace. At least that's not the way we look at it. We look at it like, hey, we're going to do what we do and continue to attract talent for the right reasons because they look at us, and they want to be here. We think we'll win that battle short term and long term. That's how we view it. It's important for our leaders to be talking to peers every day and to be recruiting every day. That's part of how we do business and how we go about it.

Michael Mettee

I'm going to go back and say one other thing that Michael was talking about. I think you asked a good question on bullish, where we sound pretty bullish, but we said high single digits. I think Michael's making a really good point. If you look at where our growth came from, and most people think, man, it's going to all be in Nashville. It was actually just quite different than that. Nashville was flat, and the growth came from all the other places. If you looked at places like Birmingham, which it continues to do really well. If you looked at places like Auburn, where we're doing really well. Columbus, doing well.

Chris Holmes

Columbus, Georgia, some places in West Tennessee, man, are doing really well. A lot of our smaller communities are net contributors. That's why we're bullish around the footprint, because we continue to have some pretty big payoffs in the Nashville market, but we're getting good production there. That's the reason that we're bullish, and certainly we could exceed that. Right now, we're comfortable with that high single digits as what we're talking about.

Dave Rochester

Sounds good. Appreciate all the color. Thanks.

Chris Holmes

Sure.

Our next question comes from Brett Rabatin from StoneX Group. Please go ahead with your question.

Brett Rabatin

Hey, guys. Good morning.

Chris Holmes

Good morning, Brett.

Brett Rabatin

Hey, guys. Wanted to talk about maybe some of the components of the loan growth from here. I noticed that construction was continued to be a little bit softer linked quarter, when you guys kind of got back into the market late last year and were doing some more stuff. Any thoughts on the construction pipeline and if you guys are looking maybe to add on the construction, or if that's an area that you're avoiding, just given credit risk or maybe a hot market in some aspects. Then just wanted to hear on the specialized lending side, you talked about SBA last quarter. If there's anything else that you guys are taking a look at and if you expected the specialized lines to maybe help growth as well.

Chris Holmes

Yeah, Brett. First off, on construction, no, we're not avoiding construction at all. I think there's probably some risk element buried in the question there. Are we scared of that risk? No. We're really not scared of that construction risk, and our markets continue to perform well, so we're confident there. Of course, we manage our construction concentration, and have, and will continue to, but it's really where opportunities come from. We do have a couple of construction projects in the pipeline that will span next, man, several quarters, even years. Those will be owner-occupied type construction as opposed to non-owner-occupied type construction. They're large, and they span time, so they span over quarters. Again, excited about kind of where that sits, but we're certainly not avoiding it in terms of an asset class for us.

Chris Holmes

On the specialty lending group which is mostly made up of manufactured housing, we continue to want to grow that line as well. We keep a watch on the concentration, but we're underneath our concentration levels that we've set for ourselves, so we've got room to grow, and we'll continue to grow it.

Brett Rabatin

Okay. Just wanted to see if there was any additional color you could provide on those two credits, and how much more specific reserves for those two, and then I assume they were in the non-underoccupied commercial real estate bucket, just kind of given slide 13. Just wanted to hear if there was anything interesting about those two credits that might have caused them to be assessed, so to speak.

Chris Holmes

Those two credits, yeah, both real estate related. Different geographies. One of them came to us through acquisition. I guess that one of them came to us through acquisition. The other one originated by an officer that we fired, and we're working through it. Again, neither of them construction, both completed projects. Smaller, Michael, in terms of the specific reserves, not huge.

Michael Mettee

Yeah, it was about three and a half in total on those two.

Chris Holmes

Yeah.

Michael Mettee

The one that was more organic, I think it's really strong guarantors projects, just struggling a little bit, but really strong guarantors. Team feels pretty confident in that. Numbers haven't penciled out yet. The other one we're working through. Like Chris said, couldn't be further away in geography.

Chris Holmes

Yeah.

Michael Mettee

They're completely unrelated instances.

Brett Rabatin

Okay. Sounds like some pretty isolated things. Okay, great. Appreciate the color, guys.

Chris Holmes

All right, great.

Our next question comes from David Bishop from Hovde Group. Please go ahead with your question.

David Bishop

Hey, good morning, gentlemen.

Chris Holmes

Hey, Dave.

Michael Mettee

Good morning.

David Bishop

Curious, Chris or Mike, you could remind us maybe on your near term and intermediate term capital targets. Just curious how they stand in relation to where you exited the quarter at.

Michael Mettee

Good morning, Dave. We're comfortable with where we are in our capital ratios today. Like I said, we look at TCE. We follow that very closely, and it's around 9%, would be our target. Pretty comfortable. We build back capital very quickly, and we'll build it back on these repurchases in the next two quarters as well.

Chris Holmes

We keep a close eye on TCE ratio. We like for it to hover around the 9% right now. It's been above that, still above that. We also look at CET1 ratio constantly and consistently, and we want it to be 10% plus. It is. We're comfortable with where we are.

David Bishop

Got it. Circling back to the operating expense outlook. Great expense control this quarter. You mentioned the hires and pretty good loan growth here. Just curious maybe, I don't know if you can give us any sort of sense from a dollar basis. Is there mid-single-digit inflationary pressure over the second half of the year? Just curious what are you penciling out as sort of a good run rate in terms of the back half of the year?

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Gosh, that's a tough question because I would say the cost of employees, especially on the revenue side, is more than single-digit inflation. The fair value changes every day. It's pretty aggressive. I think that there's probably a little bit of conservatism, thoughtfulness. Just making sure that we're hitting on all cylinders and protecting the team, but also able to go out and hire people that Chris mentioned we've been talking to for years. When you've been dating this long, you want to make sure that you're not losing out because of a couple of dollars. That's really where that expense guidance comes from. The team's done really well across the bank, both back office and front office. That's where that guidance is coming from. It's a little bit of feel on top of math.

Michael Mettee

Just feeling where the numbers are going, where the hiring is going.

David Bishop

Got it. Maybe one housekeeping item. I know that the tax rate has jumped around here the past few quarters. Good effective tax rate to use moving forward?

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Low 20% or so. Slightly higher, not materially higher.

David Bishop

Great. Appreciate the color.

Michael Mettee

Yes, sir.

Chris Holmes

Thank you.

Operator

Our next question comes from Steve Moss from Raymond James. Please go ahead with your question.

Steve Moss

Good afternoon, guys. Or good morning, guys. I'm sorry.

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Feels like afternoon. It's all right.

Steve Moss

It's been a busy morning. Most of my questions have been asked and answered here. I guess just one cleanup for me, the purchase accounting number here. Is this a good run rate at this lower level or more like $6 million-ish plus a quarter?

Michael Mettee

Yeah, I think this is a good run rate. I think about it as 14, 15 basis points on margin, which is why you get to that 370, 380 range on core. Obviously, it'll decline a basis point or so a quarter in there. As the book, maybe not a quarter, but a year, a couple of basis points. Yeah, it's a good number, Steve.

Steve Moss

Okay, great. Appreciate that color and all the color you guys are giving on the call here today. Thank you very much.

Michael Mettee

Thank you.

Chris Holmes

Thanks, Steve.

Operator

Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star and then one. To withdraw your questions, you may press star and two. Our next question comes from Christopher Marinac from Brean Capital. Please go ahead with your question.

Christopher Marinac

Hey, good morning, and thanks for taking all of our questions today. Just want to go back to deposits, and I'm curious on how if you see changing behaviors on deposits. I know we talked a lot about the rate and the impact earlier. Just curious if you're seeing more rate shopping. Are you having more exception requests? Just wanted to delve a little bit more on behaviors.

Chris Holmes

Yeah. Chris, I wouldn't say we see any real change in behaviors. At least not material. I think relationships still matter. I do think competitive. If there's any change in behavior, I would say I don't think it's rate environment driven. I think it's more some of the different types of competitors, the continuing changes in technology that maybe get people more aware of, again, just different ways and different places to hold their money. You see maybe a little bit of that, but I don't know that it really impacts us that much in day-to-day relationships. I think at the end of the day, it still comes down to being easy to do business with and have a great customer experience, is what it boils down to. I think that carries the day.

Michael Mettee

Yeah. Chris, I'd say, we empower our front line to be able to take care of clients and retain and attract new business with rate authority. We do track on a daily basis exceptions, and we have not seen a material increase. It ebbs and flows. Sometimes you'll see CDs, if a competitor's out 12 months and we're only out six.

Christopher Marinac

You can see some slight price fluctuations. In general, it's been pretty consistent. I think you continue to see a competitive environment, but people are empowered to take care of their clients.

Chris Holmes

one other thing I would mention, Chris, listening to Michael answer that question, is that, remember, our deposit cost is actually a little bit higher than peers.

Christopher Marinac

Yeah.

Chris Holmes

That, I frankly would say that that may impact some others more than it does us, because we've empowered the frontline for a long time now to be able to be competitive at the point of contact for that relationship. We're already going to be offering them a fair rate, but if they get offered some special rate, we've got the frontline empowered to be able to counter that. That's intentional on our part. That behavior hasn't changed for us.

Christopher Marinac

Okay, great. That's very helpful. Thank you both for that. Just a quick follow-up on just your strategic opportunities that you look at. Do you see any shift in pricing? Is there anything that you need to do differently as you sort of review opportunities externally?

Chris Holmes

Yeah. I think you're talking about in terms of maybe an acquisition opportunity. Is that what you're asking, Chris?

Christopher Marinac

Yes.

Chris Holmes

In terms of pricing. I'd say that the opportunities are ample right now, and they generally run smaller in terms of the size of the institution. They're generally we see a lot of opportunities of less than $2 billion. On the pricing there, yes, I would say, notice we haven't done anything in that size in a while, but that's because of our view on pricing has been that, for us, it needs to bring strategic value and financial value. Disruption is very hard for us to justify because of our organic opportunity and our organic momentum. That disruption of doing an acquisition is hard for us to justify. Unless there's real strategic value and real financial value, we don't think it's worth the disruption.

Chris Holmes

Therefore, yes, we see quite a bit, but when we think about the financial cost and the opportunity cost, it really drives the price down for the seller. Consequently, you haven't seen us do a lot. I think the answer to your question is yes, we do see that impacting valuations from our perspective. We see that impacting what we think the way we value institutions, and consequently, you haven't seen us do a lot.

Christopher Marinac

Great. Obviously, those deals are not getting done by somebody else. That says a lot.

Chris Holmes

Yeah. Yes. I agree. It says a lot. It says a lot.

Christopher Marinac

Great. Thanks again for taking my questions.

Chris Holmes

All right. Thanks, Chris.

Operator

At this time, we'll be concluding today's question and answer session. I'd like to turn the floor back over to Chris Holmes for closing comments.

Chris Holmes

All right. Well, listen, we really appreciate everybody joining us to cover the quarter. I always appreciate your interest in the company. If any of you need to speak to us directly, we're available after the call. Thanks.

Operator

With that, ladies and gentlemen, we'll conclude today's conference call. We do thank you for joining. You may now disconnect your lines.

Balance Sheet and Net Interest Margin The Company reported loans HFI of $12.87 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026, compared to $12.50 billion at the end of the prior quarter. The contractual yield on loans HFI remained stable at 6.22% for both the second quarter of 2026 and the previous quarter. Net growth in loans was driven by increases in commercial real estate loans of $195.1 million, residential real estate loans of $146.5 million, commercial and industrial loans of $20.6 million and consumer and other loans of $18.6 million, offset by a decline of $19.1 million in construction loans.

The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased to 2.81% from 2.80% in the previous quarter. Total cost of deposits decreased to 2.26% during the second quarter compared to 2.27% in the first quarter of 2026. Lower costs were driven primarily by deposit mix, reflecting growth of noninterest-bearing deposits and stability in our indexed deposit products. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $2.78 billion at the end of the quarter compared to $2.66 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026, an annualized increase of 16.7%. The Company reported net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $149.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase from $146.8 million in the prior quarter. NIM increased to 3.95% for the second quarter from 3.94% in the prior quarter, while net accretion from purchase accounting adjustments contributed 13 basis points to margin during the second quarter. Holmes continued, "We were pleased with our balance sheet performance during the second quarter, which drove an increase in net interest income and meaningful growth in pre-tax pre-provision earnings. We enter the second half of the year with strong momentum and a balance sheet well positioned to support continued growth and profitability." Noninterest Income Adjusted noninterest income* was $26.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $25.9 million and $25.8 million for the prior quarter and second quarter of 2025, respectively. Mortgage banking income was $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $12.3 million in the prior quarter and $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Noninterest Expense Adjusted noninterest expense* during the second quarter of 2026 was $91.5 million compared to $93.7 million for the prior quarter and $78.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s adjusted efficiency ratio* was 52.0%, compared to 54.3% in the previous quarter and 56.9% in the second quarter of 2025. Chief Financial Officer Michael Mettee commented, "The second quarter delivered meaningful growth in pre-tax pre-provision earnings, supported by strong loan production, stable margin performance, and disciplined expense management. We generated positive operating leverage, improved our efficiency ratio, and further demonstrated the earnings power of our franchise. We managed expenses well in a competitive personnel environment and remain focused on executing consistently and delivering sustained earnings growth." Credit Quality In the second quarter, the Company recorded provision expense of $9.7 million related to loans HFI and $0.5 million associated with unfunded loan commitments. At the end of the second quarter of 2026, the Company had an allowance for credit losses on loans HFI of $194.0 million, representing 1.51% of loans HFI compared to $186.3 million, or 1.49% of loans HFI, at the end of the prior quarter. The Company had net charge-offs of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, representing annualized net charge-offs of 0.06% of average loans HFI, compared to 0.11% in the prior quarter and 0.02% in the second quarter of 2025. The Company’s nonperforming loans HFI as a percentage of total loans HFI increased to 1.17% as of the end of the second quarter of 2026, compared to 0.96% in the prior quarter and 0.97% in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily concentrated in three lending relationships that migrated to nonperforming status during the quarter. Two of these relationships are reflected within the Company’s individually evaluated reserves, while the third is well-collateralized and continues to be actively managed. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were higher at 1.14% as of the end of the second quarter of 2026, compared to 0.98% at the end of the prior quarter and 0.92% as of the end of the second quarter of 2025, reflecting the impact of these same relationships. Holmes commented, "Credit losses remained low during the second quarter consistent with recent quarters. The allowance for credit losses increased primarily related to the strong loan growth and reserves on two individually assessed loans. Maintaining discipline in our underwriting and risk management practices continues to produce a stable and high performing credit portfolio." Capital The Company maintained its strong capital position in the second quarter, resulting in a preliminary total risk-based capital ratio of 12.9%, preliminary common equity tier 1 ratio of 11.0% and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* of 9.49%. The Company repurchased 1,546,707 shares during the quarter. Holmes continued, "Our capital position remains a significant strength for FirstBank. During the quarter, we returned capital to shareholders through share repurchases while continuing to support strong organic growth. Our balanced approach to capital deployment provides the flexibility to invest in future growth opportunities while continuing to create long-term value for shareholders." Summary Holmes finalized, "The second quarter reflected the strength of our franchise and the consistency of our execution. We generated solid loan growth, continued improving our funding profile, enhanced efficiency, maintained stable credit performance, and produced balanced, high-quality earnings. We remain well-positioned for the opportunities ahead and are focused on investing in our people, supporting our clients, and executing on our strategic priorities."

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 and segment adjusted revenue, consolidated and segment adjusted noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest income, consolidated and segment adjusted 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 adjusted in nature. The Company refers to these non-GAAP measures as adjusted 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 the Company’s 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-adjusted 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 non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the Company’s Second Quarter 2026 Financial Supplement as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC on July 13, 2026 and is also available at https://investors.firstbankonline.com.

FB Financial (NYSE:FBK) Reports Sales Below Analyst Estimates In Q2 CY2026 Earnings

StockStory
Regional banking company FB Financial (NYSE:FBK) fell short of the market’s revenue expectations in Q2 CY2026, but sales rose 26.6% year on year to $174.8 million. Its non-GAAP profit of $1.14 per share was 1.2% below analysts’ consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy FB Financial? Find out in our full research report. Net Interest Income: $149 million vs analyst estimates of $148.9 million (33.7% year-on-year growth, in line) Net Interest Margin: 4% vs analyst estimates of 3.9% (6.4 basis point beat) Revenue: $174.8 million vs analyst estimates of $177.2 million (26.6% year-on-year growth, 1.4% miss) Efficiency Ratio: 52.3% vs analyst estimates of 53.8% (153.7 basis point beat) Adjusted EPS: $1.14 vs analyst expectations of $1.15 (1.2% miss) Tangible Book Value per Share: $31.19 vs analyst estimates of $31.84 (4.7% year-on-year growth, 2% miss) Market Capitalization: $2.92 billion Founded in 1906 and operating through more than a century of economic cycles, FB Financial (NYSE:FBK) operates FirstBank, providing commercial and consumer banking services across Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and North Georgia. Net interest income and fee-based revenue are the two pillars supporting bank earnings. The former captures profit from the gap between lending rates and deposit costs, while the latter encompasses charges for banking services, credit products, wealth management, and trading activities. Regrettably, FB Financial’s revenue grew at a sluggish 2.6% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This fell short of our benchmarks and is a rough starting point for our analysis. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. FB Financial’s annualized revenue growth of 19% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business. This quarter, FB Financial generated an excellent 26.6% year-on-year revenue growth rate, but its $174.8 million of revenue fell short of Wall Street’s high expectations.

This quarter, FB Financial generated an excellent 26.6% year-on-year revenue growth rate, but its $174.8 million of revenue fell short of Wall Street’s high expectations. Net interest income made up 82.1% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning FB Financial barely relies on non-interest income to drive its overall growth. Our experience and research show the market cares primarily about a bank’s net interest income growth as non-interest income is considered a lower-quality and non-recurring revenue source. WHILE YOU’RE HERE: The Next Palantir? One satellite company captures images of every point on Earth. Every single day. The Pentagon wants it. Hedge funds are using it to beat earnings. You’ve probably never heard of it. This is what the early days of Palantir looked like before it became a giant. Same playbook. Different technology. If you missed Palantir, you need to see this. Claim The Stock Ticker for Free HERE. Banks are balance sheet-driven businesses because they generate earnings primarily through borrowing and lending. They’re also valued based on their balance sheet strength and ability to compound book value (another name for shareholders’ equity) over time. When analyzing banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) takes precedence over many other metrics. This measure isolates genuine per-share value by removing intangible assets of debatable liquidation worth. Traditional metrics like EPS are helpful but face distortion from M&A activity and loan loss accounting rules. FB Financial’s TBVPS grew at a decent 5.9% annual clip over the last five years. TBVPS growth has accelerated recently, growing by 7.8% annually over the last two years from $26.82 to $31.19 per share. Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for FB Financial’s TBVPS to grow by 14.2% to $35.61, decent growth rate. We struggled to find many positives in these results. Its EPS slightly missed and its revenue fell slightly short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this quarter could have been better. The stock traded down 2.4% to $55.59 immediately after reporting. FB Financial may have had a tough quarter, but does that actually create an opportunity to invest right now? When making that decision, it’s important to consider its valuation, business qualities, as well as what has happened in the latest quarter. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it’s free.
