FirstSun Capital Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights:

•Net income of $25.2 million, $1.00 per diluted share

•Net interest margin of 4.23%

•Return on average total assets of 1.34%

•Return on average stockholders’ equity of 12.03%

•Average deposit growth of 24.0% annualized

•Loan growth of 1.6% annualized

•20.3% noninterest income to total revenue1

Denver, Colorado – October 27, 2023 – FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun”) (OTCQX: FSUN) reported net income of $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $26.5 million for the third quarter of 2022. Earnings per diluted share were $1.00 for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $1.04 for the third quarter of 2022.

Neal Arnold, FirstSun’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to deliver another strong quarter as our focus on growing our C&I and consumer relationships across all of our Southwest markets continues to yield favorable results. Among the highlights this quarter were our strong deposit growth and a stable net interest margin of 4.23%, amidst sharply declining trends in the banking industry as a whole. We believe our balanced business mix, our consistent focus on carefully growing our C&I and consumer businesses as well as our service fee businesses, along with our strong capital base and loan portfolio credit quality provides us with the flexibility to continue to be opportunistic in this environment adding business relationships across the footprint. I want to thank all of our hard-working employees across all of our markets as their dedication to customer service has continued to drive our business growth and success this year.”

Third Quarter 2023 Results

Net income totaled $25.2 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2023, compared to $28.0 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, during the prior quarter. The return on average total assets was 1.34% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 1.49% in the prior quarter, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 12.03% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 13.54% in the prior quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $73.4 million during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin decreased one basis point to 4.23% compared to the prior quarter. Results in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, were driven by an increase of 42 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase of 29 basis points in yield on earning assets.

Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, decreased by $40.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield increased by 31 basis points to 6.44% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment and its impact on variable rate loans in the loan portfolio and higher yields on new originations. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $0.4 billion in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of deposits increased by 70 basis points to 2.64% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to rising deposit costs as a result of the elevated interest rate environment and an increasing mix of certificates of deposits. Average FHLB borrowings decreased $0.4 billion in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter. The cost of FHLB borrowings increased by 21 basis points to 5.40% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment.

1 Total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $3.9 million during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.5 million from $4.4 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to slower loan growth.

Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2023 were $2.3 million, resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.15%, compared to net charge-offs of $0.7 million, resulting in an annualized ratio of net-charge offs to average loans of 0.05% in the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.27% at September 30, 2023, an increase of one basis point from the prior quarter.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.63% at September 30, 2023, compared to 1.00% at June 30, 2023.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $18.7 million during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $5.6 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income decreased $4.2 million during the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to lesser fair value gains on our mortgage servicing rights portfolio, net of derivative activity. Other noninterest income decreased $1.4 million during the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to a write-down of an other real estate owned property and a decrease in customer accommodation swap transaction fees. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue2 was 20.3%, a decrease of 4.5% from the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $56.2 million during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.9 million from the prior quarter. Amortization of intangible assets decreased $1.2 million from the prior quarter. Other noninterest expense decreased $0.9 million primarily due to lower legal and professional fees.

The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2023 was 61.02% compared to 59.15% in the prior quarter.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 21.1% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 21.5% in the prior quarter.

Loans

Loans were $6.2 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $6.2 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $24.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, or 1.6% on an annualized basis.

Deposits

Average deposits were $6.3 billion for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $6.0 billion for the prior quarter, an increase of $358.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, or 24.0% on an annualized basis. Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 25.4% of total deposits at September 30, 2023 and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 97.5% at September 30, 2023.

The ratio of total uninsured deposits to total deposits was estimated to be 32.0% at September 30, 2023, compared to 32.5% at June 30, 2023. The ratio of total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits to total deposits was estimated to be 25.4% at September 30, 2023, compared to 24.1% at June 30, 2023.3

2 Total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income.

3 Uninsured deposits and uninsured and uncollateralized deposits are reported for our wholly-owned subsidiary Sunflower Bank, N.A.

Capital

Capital ratios remain strong and above “well-capitalized” thresholds. As of September 30, 2023, our common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.79%, total risk-based capital ratio was 12.93% and tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.37%. Book value per common share was $33.83 at September 30, 2023, an increase of $0.81 from June 30, 2023. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $29.60 at September 30, 2023, an increase of $0.84 from June 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release (including the tables beginning on page 12) 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 common stockholders’ equity;

•Tangible assets;

•Tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets;

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

•Tangible book value per common 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 12 provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure contained in this press release to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
