Simmons Bank Championship Presented by Stephens Announces $125,000 Investment in First Tee of Central Arkansas, Earns PGA TOUR Champions President's AwardMay 5, 2026 6:44 PM
PR Newswire (US) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Simmons Bank Championship presented by Stephens was recently named the recipient of the PGA TOUR Champions President's Award, the highest honor bestowed upon a tournament on the PGA TOUR Champions circuit, recognizing exceptional performance in charitable impact, community engagement, player hospitality, and overall event excellence. The award was recently celebrated during a Tournament of the Year Celebration at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Little Rock, bringing together sponsors, partners, volunteers, and community leaders who helped make the championship's second year even more successful than its inaugural season."Receiving the President's Award in just our second year is an incredible honor and a testament to the people who make this tournament possible," said Michael Cataldo, Tournament Director of the Simmons Bank Championship. "From our sponsors and partners to our volunteers and community supporters, this recognition belongs to all of them."The PGA TOUR Champions President's Award recognizes tournaments that go above and beyond in delivering a world-class experience while making a meaningful impact off the course. Among the elements highlighted were enhanced player and caddie hospitality, innovative programming, and the tournament's strong commitment to charitable giving throughout Arkansas.During the celebration, tournament leadership also announced a $125,000 cornerstone gift to First Tee of Central Arkansas, reinforcing the championship's mission to reinvest tournament success directly into the communities it serves.In its first year, the Simmons Bank Championship donated more than $250,000 to over 20 local charities, including an initial $100,000 gift to First Tee of Central Arkansas. That investment supported expanded program access and transportation. This year's increased contribution reflects the tournament's growing charitable footprint and long-term vision."As the championship continues to grow, so does our responsibility to give back," said Freddie Black, President of the Arkansas Champions Trust. "Supporting First Tee of Central Arkansas aligns perfectly with our mission to invest in young people and help strengthen communities across the state."The $125,000 gift will support a multi-phase initiative to strengthen First Tee of Central Arkansas' development pathway as the organization celebrates its 25th year serving Arkansas youth. A significant portion of the investment will fund the integration of TrackMan technology and an indoor putting studio, creating a modern, data-driven development environment that supports year-round instruction and long-term participant retention, particularly during the critical middle and high school years."This investment allows us to bring truly state-of-the-art golf technology to First Tee of Central Arkansas and, most importantly, to our kids," said Monica Blake, Executive Director of First Tee of Central Arkansas. "By integrating modern tools like TrackMan and creating an indoor putting studio, we are able to round out player development both on the golf course and in the classroom. It gives our participants a year-round learning environment that isn't limited by weather. Access to this level of technology is simply not available to youth anywhere else in the state, and it positions our kids to learn, train, and develop at the same modern standards shaping the game nationally."Additional funding will support classroom and programming enhancements, including upgraded club inventory, a structured loaner program to remove equipment barriers, modernized classroom furnishings, and essential gear to ensure every participant has what they need to fully engage.Owned and operated by the Arkansas Champions Trust, the Simmons Bank Championship has quickly established itself as a premier event on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. In its first year, the tournament earned The Players Award, voted on by participating players. With the addition of the President's Award in year two, the championship continues to set the standard for excellence and impact."Our goal from the beginning was to build something Arkansas could be proud of," Black said. "This recognition reinforces that we're doing it the right way with purpose, partnership, and pride in our community."The Simmons Bank Championship presented by Stephens returns in 2026, continuing its commitment to competitive excellence, charitable impact, and lasting value for the State of Arkansas.Simmons Bank Championship presented by Stephens

Jay Brogdon, Simmons' President and CEO, commented on first quarter 2026 results:Simmons delivered solid results in the first quarter driven by strong loan growth, expanding margin, and continued earnings momentum. Loans grew 10 percent linked quarter annualized, with growth broad-based across geography and industry. Net interest margin expanded linked quarter, increasing three basis points to 3.84 percent, benefiting from disciplined relationship pricing, fixed rate asset repricing and improving funding costs. Net charge-offs for the quarter were 21 basis points and provision expense exceeded net charge-offs by $5.5 million, primarily due to loan growth. Looking forward, we remain committed to delivering disciplined growth and designing a more efficient and scalable infrastructure. The talent environment continues to be favorable and supports our organic growth priorities. We are increasingly optimistic about the prospects for consistently achieving returns that exceed our long-range targets.Simmons First National Corporation (NASDAQ: SFNC) (Simmons or Company) today reported net income of $68.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $78.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and net income of $32.4 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $197.2 million, compared to $197.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $163.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income on a year-over-year basis was primarily due to a $39.8 million decrease in interest expense, which included a $32.9 million decrease in interest bearing deposit costs and a $6.9 million decrease in the cost of other interest bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest expense compared to the prior year quarter reflected a reduction of wholesale funding as a result of the balance sheet repositioning completed in the third quarter of 2025, as well as a lower interest rate environment. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.84 percent, up 3 basis points compared to 3.81 percent for the fourth quarter of 2025 and up 89 basis points compared to 2.95 percent for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest margin on a linked quarter basis was driven by a 6 percent annualized increase in average loans, coupled with a 13 percent annualized increase in average low-cost interest bearing transaction and savings accounts. The increase in net interest margin on a year-over-year basis primarily reflected the balance sheet repositioning that was completed during the third quarter of 2025.Select Yield/Rates

The decrease in noninterest income on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) negative valuation adjustment in the first quarter of 2026 and proceeds from bank owned life insurance death benefits recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025, both of which are included in other income in the table below.Noninterest Income$ in millions1Q264Q253Q252Q251Q25Service charges on deposit accounts$    12.7$    12.7$   13.0$  12.6$  12.6Wealth management fees10.510.310.09.59.6Debit and credit card fees8.58.78.58.68.4Mortgage lending income1.92.22.31.72.0Other service charges and fees1.61.51.51.31.3Bank owned life insurance4.23.93.93.94.1Gain (loss) on sale of securities--(801.5)--Other income4.812.46.14.88.0   Total noninterest income$    44.2$   51.7$(756.2)$ 42.4$ 46.2

Included in noninterest expense are certain items consisting of branch right sizing costs, early retirement program costs, termination of vendor and software services, FDIC Deposit Insurance special assessment, professional services and a loss on the sale of an equipment finance business.

Excluding these items (which are described in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table below) adjusted noninterest expense1 was $140.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, $138.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $143.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in adjusted noninterest expense on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits reflecting a seasonal increase in payroll taxes expense incurred during the first quarter of 2026.Noninterest Expense$ in millions1Q26 4Q253Q25 2Q251Q25Salaries and employee benefits$  75.9$  72.9$  76.2$  73.9$  74.8Occupancy expense, net12.211.612.111.812.7Furniture and equipment5.45.35.35.55.5Deposit insurance2.34.75.24.95.4Other real estate and foreclosure expense0.30.40.20.20.2Other operating expenses44.544.843.042.346.1   Total noninterest expense$140.7$139.9$142.0$138.6$144.6

Total loans at the end of the first quarter of 2026 were $17.9 billion, up $440.7 million, or 10 percent annualized, compared to $17.5 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in total loans was driven by increases in commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, mortgage warehouse and agricultural portfolios, offset in part by a decrease in real estate construction. Unfunded loan commitments at the end of the first quarter of 2026 were $4.1 billion, compared to $3.9 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

Total deposits at the end of the first quarter of 2026 were $20.2 billion, up $19 million compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in total deposits reflected a $214 million increase in interest bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts, offset primarily from the continued planned run-off of higher rate, non-relationship time deposits or subsequent reinvestment of maturing time deposits into lower cost deposits. The decrease in total deposits on a year-over-year basis primarily reflects a reduction of higher rate, non-relationship wholesale and public fund deposits as part of the balance sheet repositioning completed during the third quarter of 2025.Other borrowings at the end of the first quarter of 2026 were $446.8 million, compared to $302.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 and $884.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in other borrowings on a year-over-year basis reflected a reduction of higher cost wholesale funding, primarily FHLB advances, as part of the balance sheet repositioning completed during the third quarter of 2025. Deposits$ in millions 1Q26 4Q25 3Q25 2Q25 1Q25Noninterest bearing deposits$  4,290$  4,330$  4,377$  4,468$  4,455Interest bearing transaction accounts10,66710,45310,28910,53210,621Time deposits3,3343,5083,3313,5883,695Brokered deposits1,9121,8931,8413,2372,914   Total deposits$20,203$20,184$19,838$21,825$21,684

Provision for credit losses on loans exceeded net charge-offs by $5.5 million during the first quarter of 2026 primarily as a result of strong loan growth during the quarter. The allowance for credit losses on loans at the end of the first quarter of 2026 was $229.9 million, compared to $224.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 and $252.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025.

Each of the applicable regulatory capital ratios for Simmons and its principal subsidiary, Simmons Bank, continue to significantly exceed "well-capitalized" regulatory guidelines.Select Capital Ratios1Q264Q253Q252Q251Q25Stockholders' equity to total assets13.9 %13.9 %13.9 %13.3 %13.2 %Tangible common equity to tangible assets18.78.78.58.58.3Common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio11.611.611.512.412.2Tier 1 leverage ratio10.110.19.610.09.8Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio11.611.611.512.412.2Total risk-based capital ratio14.414.415.114.414.6Share Repurchase Program 
During the first quarter of 2026, Simmons did not repurchase shares under its stock repurchase program that was authorized in February 2026 (2026 Program) and which replaced its former repurchase program that was authorized in January 2024. Remaining authorization under the 2026 Program as of March 31, 2026, was approximately $175 million. The timing, pricing and amount of any repurchases under the 2026 Program will be determined by Simmons' management at its discretion based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, trading volume and market price of Simmons' common stock, Simmons' capital needs, Simmons' working capital and investment requirements, other corporate considerations, economic conditions, and legal requirements. The 2026 Program does not obligate Simmons to repurchase any common stock and may be modified, discontinued or suspended at any time without prior notice.___________________________________________(1)Non-GAAP measurement.

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's performance. These measures adjust GAAP performance measures to, among other things, include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as exclude from net income (including on a per share diluted basis), pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, net charge-offs, income available to common shareholders, noninterest income, and noninterest expense certain income and expense items attributable to, for example, branch right sizing costs, early retirement program costs, termination of vendor and software services, FDIC Deposit Insurance special assessment, professional services and a loss on the sale of an equipment finance business.In addition, the Company also presents certain figures based on tangible common stockholders' equity, tangible assets and tangible book value, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company further presents certain figures that are exclusive of the impact of deposits and/or loans acquired through acquisitions, mortgage warehouse loans, and/or energy loans, or gains and/or losses on the sale of securities. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they, among other things, present the results of the Company's ongoing operations without the effect of mergers or other items not central to the Company's ongoing business, as well as normalize for tax effects and certain other effects. Management, therefore, 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 ongoing businesses, and management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of the Company's ongoing businesses as related to prior financial periods. 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.Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release may not be based on historical facts and should be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements made in Mr. Brogdon's quote, may be identified by reference to future periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "believe," "budget," "expect," "foresee," "anticipate," "intend," "indicate," "target," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continue," "contemplate," "positions," "prospects," "predict," or "potential," by future conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "might" or "may," or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to Simmons' future growth, business strategies, lending capacity and lending activity, loan demand, revenue, assets, asset quality, profitability, dividends, net interest margin, non-interest revenue, share repurchase program, acquisition strategy, digital banking initiatives, the Company's ability to recruit and retain key employees, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, future economic conditions and interest rates, and the adequacy of reserve levels for loans. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this press release, and Simmons undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this press release. By nature, forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions and involve inherent risk and uncertainties. Various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in economic conditions, changes in credit quality, changes in interest rates and related governmental policies, the effects of a government shutdown, changes in loan demand, changes in deposit flows, changes in real estate values, changes in the assumptions used in making the forward-looking statements, changes in the securities markets generally or the price of Simmons' common stock specifically, changes in information technology affecting the financial industry, and changes in customer behaviors, including consumer spending, borrowing, and saving habits; changes in tariff policies; general economic and market conditions; changes in governmental administrations; market disruptions including pandemics or significant health hazards, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, terrorist activities, financial crises, political crises, war and other military conflicts (including the ongoing military conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine) or other major events, or the prospect of these events; the soundness of other financial institutions and any indirect exposure related to the closings of other financial institutions and their impact on the broader market through other customers, suppliers and partners, or that the conditions which resulted in the liquidity concerns experienced by closed financial institutions may also adversely impact, directly or indirectly, other financial institutions and market participants with which the Company has commercial or deposit relationships; increased inflation; the loss of key employees; increased competition in the markets in which the Company operates and from non-bank financial institutions; increased unemployment; labor shortages; claims, damages, and fines related to litigation or government actions; changes in accounting principles relating to loan loss recognition (current expected credit losses); fraud that results in material losses or that we have not discovered yet that may result in material losses; the Company's ability to manage and successfully integrate its mergers and acquisitions and to fully realize cost savings and other benefits associated with acquisitions; increased delinquency and foreclosure rates on commercial real estate loans; significant increases in nonaccrual loan balances; cyber or other information technology threats, attacks or events; emerging issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence that could give rise to legal or regulatory action or increase cybersecurity threats; reliance on third parties for key services; government legislation; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. In addition, there can be no guarantee that the board of directors (Board) of Simmons will approve a quarterly dividend in future quarters, and the timing, payment, and amount of future dividends (if any) is subject to, among other things, the discretion of the Board and may differ significantly from past dividends. Additional information on factors that might affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other reports that the Company has filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), all of which are available from the SEC on its website, www.sec.gov. Simmons First National Corporation

Simmons Bank simplifies savings with Round-Up programApril 6, 2026 9:38 AM
PR Newswire (US)

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Simmons Bank announced today its automatic savings program, Round-Up, allowed more than 25,000 customers to save more than $5.9 million during 2025. As households across the country focus on building stronger financial habits during America Saves Week, the program highlights how small, consistent actions can lead to meaningful savings over time.







This feature rounds up debit purchases to the nearest dollar and transfers the difference to a second account of the customer's choice, making it effortless to build an emergency fund.According to the Federal Reserve's recent Survey on Household Economics and Decision Making, roughly one in three Americans have no emergency savings, and only 41-43 percent can cover a $1,000 emergency expense with savings."The Simmons Bank Round-Up savings program removes the friction from saving by automating the process," said Joshua Jensen, chief deposit officer at Simmons Bank. "By rounding up debit card purchases and directing the difference into savings, customers can steadily build funds for unexpected expenses or long-term financial goals without changing their routine."Established in 2014, the Simmons Bank Round-Up program is designed to reduce the effort needed to save by automating the process when customers use their debit card to conduct a purchase. During America Saves Week, Simmons Bank encourages customers to take small steps, like enrolling in Round-Up, to create lasting financial security.For more information about Simmons Bank or the Round-Up program, visit simmonsbank.com.Simmons Bank
