Forward guidance

Southern States is well-positioned to drive further growth, and the acquisition of CBB Bancorp will fortify the deposit base and provide a platform for loan growth in new markets.

Tailwinds

  • Continued strong lending activity in the first quarter.
  • Total loans grew by 17.2% annualized from the prior quarter.
  • Non-performing loans as a percentage of the total portfolio was just 0.18%.
  • Total non-brokered deposits grew by 7.1% annualized.
  • Net interest income expanded by 2.1%.

Headwinds

  • Funding expenses remained elevated amid the higher-for-longer interest rate environment.
  • Continued pressure on the net interest margin.
  • Noninterest income decreased 29.0% from Q1 2023.
  • The decrease was primarily due to a realized net loss on securities during the first quarter of 2024 compared to a net gain on securities during the first quarter of 2023.
  • Total brokered deposits were $291.0 million at March 31, 2024.
