FB Financial Corporation Reports Strong 2017 Second Quarter Results

JULY 24, 2017

Annualized loan growth of 14.8% and increased mortgage revenues drive solid earnings

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– FB Financial Corporation (“FB Financial”) (NYSE: FBK), parent company of FirstBank, reported its results today for the second quarter of 2017.

President and CEO Christopher T. Holmes stated, “Our second quarter earnings were driven by outstanding annualized loan growth of 14.8% for the quarter and the healthy seasonal contribution from our mortgage operations. Along with the excellent growth, we continue to have solid asset quality and net interest margin results were at the top end of our expectations. Our team continues to execute our strategy of growing and serving our customer relationships while delivering shareholder value.”

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported net income of $11.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, compared to $15.8 million, or $0.92 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2016 (equivalent to $10.6 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share, on a pro forma C-Corporation tax basis). Diluted earnings per share on a year over year basis declined primarily due to the increase in weighted average diluted shares from 17,180,000 in the second quarter of 2016 to 26,301,458 this quarter related to shares issued in the initial public offering, the recent private placement and related stock grants.

Adjusting net income for pre-tax, non-core net expenses outlined below totaling $2.8 million, or $1.7 million after tax, core net income was $12.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2017, compared to pro forma C-Corporation basis core net income of $13.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2016.
