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.
The company repurchased approximately 3% of its outstanding shares during the quarter, utilizing its strong capital position to enhance shareholder value.
