Net income reached a Company-record $129.5 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $119.3 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $123.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. Net income, as adjusted (non-GAAP), also reached a Company-record of $129.1 million, increasing 0.8% from $128.1 million in the prior quarter and 7.9% from $119.7 million in the third quarter of 2025.
PPNR (non-GAAP) totaled $166.9 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $159.6 million in the prior quarter and $162.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. PPNR, as adjusted (non-GAAP)totaled $166.6 million, compared to $171.2 million in the prior quarter and $157.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the continued strength and resilience of the Company's earnings performance.
Dollar amounts presented below in thousands.
Net interest income after credit loss expense totaled $242.0 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $236.4 million in the prior quarter and $222.7 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase from both the linked quarter and prior-year period was driven by strong net interest income generation and a reduction in credit loss expense.
Non-interest income totaled $46.4 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $53.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $51.5 million in the third quarter of 2025. Results for the quarter reflect the normal variability of fee-based revenue categories while continuing to contribute to the Company's overall earnings performance.
Total revenue (net) totaled $288.4 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $295.1 million in the prior quarter and $277.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. While revenue declined modestly from the linked quarter, results remained strong and increased from the third quarter of 2025, reflecting continued strength in net interest income and the Company's banking operations.
Non-interest expense totaled $121.5 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $135.5 million in the prior quarter and $114.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily driven by the absence of acquisition-related expenses incurred during the second quarter, while the increase from the prior-year quarter reflects the impact of franchise growth and continued investment in the Company's operations. Interest expense decreased from both the prior quarter and prior-year period, reflecting continued improvement in the Company's funding costs.
The efficiency ratio was 40.78% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 44.54% in the prior quarter and 40.21% in the third quarter of 2025. The efficiency ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 40.84%, compared to 40.46% in the prior quarter and 40.95% in the third quarter of 2025. The improvement in the reported efficiency ratio from the linked quarter primarily reflects the absence of acquisition-related expenses recognized during the second quarter. On an adjusted basis, the efficiency ratio remained relatively stable compared to the prior quarter and improved modestly from the prior-year period, reflecting continued operating discipline.
Return on average assets (ROA) was 2.12% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 1.95% in the prior quarter and 2.17% in the third quarter of 2025. ROA, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 2.11%, compared to 2.09% in the prior quarter and 2.10% in the third quarter of 2025. The linked-quarter improvement in both reported and adjusted ROA reflects strong earnings performance and the absence of acquisition-related expenses recognized during the second quarter, while adjusted ROA improved from the prior-year quarter, demonstrating the Company's continued ability to generate strong returns on its asset base.
The tables below present additional key financial metrics over the past five quarters, including net interest margin (NIM), yield on interest-earning assets, rate on interest-bearing liabilities, and net interest spread. These metrics are fundamental indicators of the Company’s profitability and operational efficiency.
Book value per share increased to $22.74 at September 30, 2026, compared to $22.68 at June 30, 2026 and $21.41 at September 30, 2025. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased to $15.35 from $15.32 in the prior quarter and $14.13 in the prior-year period. The continued growth in both book value per share and tangible book value per share reflects the Company's strong earnings generation during the past year and disciplined capital management.
Operating Highlights
Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 was $129.5 million, or $0.65 diluted earnings per share, both of which were records for the Company. When adjusting for non-fundamental items, net income and diluted earnings per share on an as-adjusted basis (non-GAAP), were $129.1 million and $0.65 per share, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Our net interest margin was 4.53% and 4.51% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively. The yield on loans was 6.95% and 7.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively, as average loans decreased from $17.08 billion to $17.06 billion. The rate on interest bearing deposits decreased to 2.37% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, from 2.39% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, and average interest-bearing deposits decreased from $14.69 billion to $14.43 billion.
During the third quarter of 2026, there was $1.5 million of event interest income compared to $1.7 million of event interest income for the second quarter of 2026. Purchase accounting accretion on acquired loans was $2.9 million and $3.6 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively, and average purchase accounting loan discounts were $39.4 million and $42.0 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively. The decrease in accretion was dilutive to the net interest margin by one basis point.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $244.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, compared to $244.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026. This increase in net interest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, was the result of a $2.3 million decrease in interest expense, which was partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in interest income. The $2.3 million decrease in interest expense was due to a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense on deposits and a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense on FHLB and other borrowed funds. The $2.1 million decrease in interest income was primarily the result of a $1.6 million decrease in income from interest-bearing balances due from banks and a $963,000 decrease in income from investments.
The Company reported $46.4 million of non-interest income for the third quarter of 2026. The most important components of non-interest income were $12.0 million from other service charges and fees, $11.6 million from other income, $10.4 million from service charges on deposit accounts, $4.0 million from trust fees, $3.8 million in mortgage lending income, $2.6 million from dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB and other, $1.5 million from the increase in cash value of life insurance, $744,000 in income from the gain on sale of branches, equipment and other assets and $561,000 in insurance commissions, which were partially offset by $916,000 in expense from the fair value adjustment for marketable securities. Included within other income was $528,000 in bank-owned life insurance death benefit income, and included within the $744,000 in income from the gain on sale of branches, equipment and other assets was a $710,000 gain from the sale of a former branch location in Arkansas.
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2026 was $121.5 million. The most important components of non-interest expense were $67.6 million of salaries and employee benefits expense, $28.9 million in other operating expense, $15.8 million in occupancy and equipment expenses, and $9.2 million in data processing expenses. For the third quarter of 2026, our efficiency ratio was 40.78%, and our efficiency ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 40.84%.

Shareholders’ equity was $4.53 billion at September 30, 2026, which decreased approximately $17.7 million from June 30, 2026.

Stock Repurchases and Dividends
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1.3 million shares of common stock, which equated to a shareholder buyback yield of 0.69%. In comparison, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock, which equated to a shareholder buyback yield of 0.77%. The Company defines shareholder buyback yield as the percentage of the Company’s market capitalization spent on share repurchases. It reflects how much the Company is returning to the shareholders by reducing the number of outstanding shares, and it is calculated by dividing the Company’s total share repurchase cost for the period by the Company’s total market capitalization at the beginning of the period.
In addition, during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company paid a dividend of $0.23 per share. This cash dividend represented a $0.02, or 9.5%, increase over the $0.21 cash dividend paid during the second quarter of 2026 and a $0.03, or 15.0%, increase over the $0.20 cash dividend paid during the third quarter of 2025.
Branches
The Company currently has 75 branches in Arkansas, 78 branches in Florida, 59 branches in Texas, 8 branches in Tennessee, 5 branches in Alabama and one branch in New York City.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures--including net income (earnings), as adjusted; pre-tax, pre-provision, net income (PPNR); PPNR, as adjusted; pre-tax net income, as adjusted, to total revenue (net); pre-tax, pre-provision, profit percentage; pre-tax, pre-provision, profit percentage, as adjusted; diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted; return on average assets, as adjusted; return on average assets excluding intangible amortization; return on average assets, as adjusted, excluding intangible amortization; return on average common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity excluding intangible amortization; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted, excluding intangible amortization; efficiency ratio, as adjusted; tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets--to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income and equity available to common shareholders for certain significant items or transactions that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s primary business operating results. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s business. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.
