Forward guidance

Carter Bankshares expects moderate loan growth this year and anticipates that the net interest margin will return to a more normalized level once the large nonperforming loan relationship is resolved. The company believes its balance sheet is positioned to benefit when the Fed begins to cut short-term interest rates.

Tailwinds

  • Capital and liquidity levels continue to be strong.
  • Loan production was again solid in the quarter.
  • The bond portfolio is well positioned to outperform many peers in a period of higher interest rates.
  • Modest deposit growth is occurring in most categories except savings accounts.
  • The balance sheet is positioned to positively impact margins when the Fed cuts short-term interest rates.

Headwinds

  • Lending pipelines have slowed.
  • There continues to be pressure on the cost of funds, impacting the margin.
  • The current rate environment will continue to impact the margin in the coming quarters.
  • The large NPL continues to have a negative impact on financial results.
  • Cannot give any assurance regarding the timeline for resolution of the large NPL.
