First Financial Bankshares Announces Third Quarter Earnings Results
ABILENE, Texas, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIN) today reported earnings for the third quarter of 2011 of $18.09 million, up 11.5 percent compared with earnings of $16.23 million in the same quarter last year. Basic earnings per share were $0.58 for the third quarter of 2011 compared with $0.52 in the same quarter a year ago. Last year's third-quarter results included net proceeds after tax of $1.30 million from the expropriation of company-owned property in Southlake, Texas, by the Texas Department of Transportation. Excluding this extraordinary item, net income for the third quarter of 2010 would have been $14.93 million, or $0.48 per share.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2011 increased 13.0 percent to $38.3 million compared with $33.9 million in 2010. The net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 4.62 percent compared with 4.67 percent in the same quarter last year and 4.69 percent in the second quarter of this year.
The provision for loan losses was $1.35 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $1.99 million in the same quarter last year and $1.92 million in the second quarter of this year. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets totaled 1.60 percent at September 30, 2011, compared with 1.58 percent at June 30, 2011, and 1.45 percent at September 30, 2010.
Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2011 was $13.91 million compared with $12.93 million in the same quarter a year ago. Trust fees increased to $3.27 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $2.71 million in the same quarter last year. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased to $4.48 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared with $5.10 million for the same quarter a year ago, due primarily to decreased customer use of overdraft services. ATM and credit card fees increased to $3.54 million during the third quarter of 2011 from $2.92 million in the third quarter last year.
Noninterest expense increased in the third quarter of 2011 to $26.32 million from $24.71 million in the same quarter last year. The increase noted in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily from additional expenses related to our Huntsville acquisition which was effective November 1, 2010. The Company's efficiency ratio in the third quarter of 2011 was 47.48 percent compared with 47.92 percent in the same quarter last year.
For the first nine months of 2011, net income increased 15.31 percent to $50.90 million from $44.14 million a year ago. Basic earnings per share rose to $1.62 in the first nine months of 2011 from $1.41 in the same period last year. Net interest income increased 13.79 percent to $113.81 million in the first nine months of 2011 from $100.02 million a year ago. The provision for loan losses totaled $5.40 million compared with $6.97 million in the first nine months of the previous year. Noninterest income was $38.65 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared with $36.61 million a year ago. Noninterest expense rose to $78.37 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared with $72.00 million last year primarily as a result of our Huntsville acquisition.
As of September 30, 2011, consolidated assets for the Company totaled $3.94 billion compared with $3.45 billion a year ago. Loans grew 12.43 percent and totaled $1.73 billion at quarter end compared with loans of $1.54 billion a year ago. Total deposits were $3.19 billion as of September 30, 2011, a 16.36 percent growth over $2.74 billion a year earlier. Shareholders' equity rose to $499.20 million as of September 30, 2011, compared with $450.93 million the prior year.
"We are pleased to report another successful quarter of growth in loans and deposits and net income, despite the continued uncertainty about the national economy and increased federal regulation of the banking industry," said F. Scott Dueser, Chairman, President and CEO. "Until we see a clear pattern of sustained economic improvement, we will continue to take a cautious stance financially, while at the same time pursuing growth in all of our business lines and remaining alert to new acquisition opportunities."
