Briefing

Reported a decrease in net income and diluted EPS compared to the previous quarter and prior year, but strategic actions and expense control showed positive trends.

Simmons First National Corporation reported a net income of $23.9 million and diluted EPS of $0.19 for Q4 2023. The results were impacted by a loss on the sale of AFS investment securities and a FDIC special assessment. However, net interest income and net interest margin increased on a linked quarter basis, driven by strong loan and deposit pricing discipline and deposit growth. The board authorized a new $175 million share repurchase program and approved a 5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend.

  • Net income was $23.9 million and diluted EPS was $0.19.
  • Net interest income increased by 1% and net interest margin rose to 2.68%, up 7 bps from the previous quarter.
  • Sold $241 million of AFS securities to paydown higher rate wholesale funding.
  • Board of Directors authorized a new $175 million share repurchase program and approved a 5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend.
