Neal Arnold, FirstSun’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to deliver strong earnings this quarter driven by our well diversified business mix. Our net interest margin remains very strong at 4.02%, we grew our deposits and loans and we maintained our balanced mix of business with noninterest income to total revenue at 24.2%.”

Arnold continued, “We continue to work actively on all aspects of planning for the consummation of the previously announced strategic merger with HomeStreet, Inc. and we remain focused on continuing to deliver responsible growth amidst the challenging operating environment. We also remain focused on enhancing shareholder value and are very excited to announce a significant milestone in uplisting to Nasdaq on July 12, 2024 which we expect will provide us better access to the capital markets.”

Second Quarter 2024 Results

Net income totaled $24.6 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $12.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the prior quarter. Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was negatively impacted by $0.6 million in merger costs, net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share. Net income in the first quarter of 2024 was negatively impacted by a $13.1 million loan charge-off, net of tax, or $0.47 per diluted share, and $2.3 million in merger costs, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share. The return on average total assets was 1.26% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 0.64% for the prior quarter, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 10.03% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 5.15% for the prior quarter.

1 Total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $72.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.1 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin increased three basis points to 4.02% compared to the prior quarter. Results for the second quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter, were primarily driven by an increase of 11 basis points in the yield on earning assets, partially offset by an increase of 12 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $70.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield increased by 11 basis points to 6.59% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher yields on new originations as compared to amortizing and maturing balances. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $101.7 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 11 basis points to 3.11% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to overall rising deposit costs as a result of the elevated interest rate environment. Average FHLB borrowings increased $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. The cost of FHLB borrowings increased by 11 basis points to 5.67% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $15.3 million from $16.5 million for the prior quarter, primarily due to a $17.4 million charge-off on a specific customer in our C&I loan portfolio for the prior quarter.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 were $2.0 million resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.13%, compared to net charge-offs of $17.4 million, or an annualized ratio of net-charge offs to average loans of 1.11% for the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.25% at June 30, 2024, a decrease of two basis points from the prior quarter.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.84% at June 30, 2024, compared to 0.80% at March 31, 2024.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $23.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.5 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income increased $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in mortgage loan originations, including the corresponding impact to our capitalized MSR asset from the prior quarter.

Other noninterest income decreased $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in income from BOLI and a decrease in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue2 was 24.2%, an increase of 0.2% from the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $63.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.0 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in salary and employee benefits of $2.5 million as a result of increased head count of C&I bankers and higher levels of variable compensation associated with an increase in mortgage loan originations. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 included $1.0 million in merger related expenses, a decrease of $1.4 million from the prior quarter.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2024 was 66.42% compared to 66.05% for the prior quarter. Merger costs negatively affected the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2024 by 1.09%, down from a negative impact of 2.66% for the prior quarter.

2 Total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 21.0% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 19.6% for the prior quarter.

Loans

Loans were $6.3 billion at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, increasing $52.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, or 3.3% on an annualized basis.

Deposits

Deposits were $6.6 billion at June 30, 2024 compared to $6.4 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024, or 10.8% on an annualized basis. Average deposits were $6.5 billion for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $6.4 billion for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.1 billion in the second quarter of 2024, or 7.3% on an annualized basis. Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 23.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2024 and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 95.7% at June 30, 2024.

The ratio of total uninsured deposits to total deposits was estimated to be 32.1% at June 30, 2024, compared to 32.0% at March 31, 2024. The ratio of total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits to total deposits was estimated to be 25.5% at June 30, 2024, compared to 25.2% at March 31, 2024.3

Capital

Capital ratios remain strong and above “well-capitalized” thresholds. As of June 30, 2024, our common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.80%, total risk-based capital ratio was 14.95% and tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.83%. Book value per share was $36.31 at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.16 from March 31, 2024. Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $32.56 at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.19 from March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release (including the tables beginning on page 15) contains financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). FirstSun management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of FirstSun’s performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results with prior periods and demonstrate the effects of significant items in the current period. FirstSun believes a meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance. FirstSun management believes investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release:

•Tangible stockholders’ equity;

•Tangible assets;

•Tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets;

•Tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets, reflecting net unrealized losses on HTM securities, net of tax;

•Tangible book value per share;

•Net income excluding merger costs;

•Return on average total assets excluding merger costs;

•Return on average stockholders’ equity excluding merger costs;

•Efficiency ratio excluding merger related expenses;

•Diluted earnings per share excluding merger related costs; and

•Fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income and net interest margin on FTE basis.

The tables beginning on page 15 provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure contained in this press release to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
