1Q 2024
SmartFinancial Announces Results for the First Quarter 2024
KNOXVILLE, TN – April 22, 2024 - SmartFinancial, Inc. ("SmartFinancial" or the "Company"; NYSE: SMBK), today announced net income of $9.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $11.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2023, and compared to prior quarter net income of $6.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share. Operating earnings^1^, which excludes non-recurring income related to the gain on sale of a branch location, net of tax adjustments, totaled $8.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $11.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2023, and compared to $6.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Highlights for the First Quarter of 2024
| ● | Operating earnings^1^ of $8.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share |
|---|---|
| ● | Net organic loan and lease growth of $34 million - 4% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Credit quality remains solid with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.18% |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Deposit growth of $126.3 million – 12% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase |
| --- | --- |
Billy Carroll, President & CEO, stated: “Our company started 2024 with nice momentum. The first quarter was highlighted by continued growth in both loans and deposits, each growing 4% and 12%, respectively, along with expense discipline and focus on operating leverage improvement. The investments we’ve made over the last few years have positioned us well and with a margin inflection point on the horizon, we remain very bullish.”
SmartFinancial's Chairman, Miller Welborn, concluded: “Our team continued to make substantial forward progress on our key strategic initiatives in the first quarter. Our associates worked diligently to grow revenue and control expenses, setting the stage for operating leverage gains for the remainder of 2024. Continued commitment to EXCELLENT client service and growing shareholder value remains “top of mind” for our team.”
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $31.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $31.5 million for the prior quarter. Average earning assets totaled $4.50 billion, an increase of $116.4 million from the prior quarter. The increase in average earnings assets was primarily driven by an increase in average interest-earning cash of $64.0 million, average loans and leases of $49.7 million and average securities of $2.7 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $144.2 million from the prior quarter, attributable to an increase in average deposits of $146.3 million, offset by a decrease in average borrowings of $2.2 million.
The tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.85% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 2.86% for the prior quarter. The tax equivalent net interest margin was negatively impacted by the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a slower rise on yield on interest-earning assets, quarter-over-quarter. The yield on loans and leases, excluding loan fees, was 5.71% for the first quarter, compared to 5.61% for the prior quarter.
The cost of total deposits for the first quarter of 2024 was 2.52% compared to 2.35% in the prior quarter. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.23% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 3.07% for the prior quarter. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits was 3.16% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 3.00% for the prior quarter, an increase of 16 basis points.

Balance Sheet Trends
Total assets at March 31, 2024 were $4.95 billion compared to $4.83 billion at December 31, 2023.

Total liabilities increased to $4.49 billion at March 31, 2024 from $4.37 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase of $118.4 million was primarily from organic deposit growth of $126.3 million, offset by a decrease in borrowings of $3.2 million and other liabilities of $4.7 million.
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2024, totaled $466.8 million, an increase of $6.9 million, from December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Statements included in this earnings release include measures not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. SmartFinancial management uses several Non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) operating earnings, (ii) operating return on average assets, (iii) operating pre-provision net revenue return on average assets, (iv) operating return on average shareholders' equity, (v) return on average tangible common equity, (vi) operating return on average tangible common equity, (vii) operating efficiency ratio, (viii) operating noninterest income, (ix) operating pre-provision net revenue earnings, (x) operating noninterest expense, (xi) tangible common equity, (xii) average tangible common equity, (xiii) tangible book value per common share, (xiv) tangible assets; and ratios derived therefrom, in its analysis of the company's performance. Operating earnings excludes the following from net income: securities gains and losses and merger related and restructuring expenses. Operating return on average assets is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average assets. Operating pre-provision net revenue return on average assets is the annualized operating pre-provision net revenue income earnings (Non-GAAP) by average assets. Operating return on average shareholders' equity is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average equity. Return on average tangible common equity is the annualized net income divided by average tangible common equity (Non-GAAP). Operating return on average tangible common equity is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average tangible common equity (Non-GAAP). The operating efficiency ratio includes an adjustment for taxable equivalent yields and excludes securities gains and losses and merger related and restructuring expenses from the efficiency ratio. Operating noninterest income excludes the following from noninterest income: securities gains and losses. Operating pre-provision net revenue earnings is net interest income plus operating noninterest income (Non-GAAP) less operating noninterest expense (Non-GAAP). Operating noninterest interest income and operating noninterest expense exclude non-operating related income and expense items. A detailed reconciliation of these items are available in the Non-GAAP reconciliations. Tangible common equity (Non-GAAP) and average tangible common equity (Non-GAAP) excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders' equity and average shareholders' equity, respectively. Tangible book value per common share (Non-GAAP) is tangible common equity (Non-GAAP) divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible assets (Non-GAAP) excludes goodwill and other intangibles from total assets. Management believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows investors to evaluate the ongoing performance of the company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results and allow investors and company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider SmartFinancial's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

| DISCLOSURES<br>2<br>Forward-Looking Statements<br>This presentation may contain statements that are based on management’s current estimates<br>or expectations of future events or future results, and that may be deemed to constitute<br>forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of<br>1995. These statements on SmartFinancial Inc.’s (“SmartFinancial”) business and financial<br>results and conditions, are not historical in nature and can generally be identified by such<br>words as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “may,” “estimate,” and<br>similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other<br>factors that may cause the actual results of SmartFinancial to differ materially from future<br>results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties, and<br>other factors include, among others, (1) the risk of litigation and reputational risk associated<br>with historic acquisition activity; (2) the risk that cost savings and revenue synergies from<br>recently completed acquisitions may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated to<br>realize; (3) disruption from recently completed acquisitions with customer, supplier, employee,<br>or other business relationships; (4) our ability to successfully integrate the businesses acquired<br>as part of previous acquisitions with the business of SmartBank; (5) changes in management’s<br>plans for the future; (6) prevailing, or changes in, economic or political conditions, particularly in<br>our market areas, including the effects of declines in the real estate market, inflationary<br>pressures, elevated interest rates and slowdowns in economic growth, as well as the financial<br>stress on borrowers as a result of the foregoing; (7) increased technology and cybersecurity<br>risks, including generative artificial intelligence risks; (8) credit risk associated with our lending<br>activities; (9) changes in loan demand, real estate values, or competition; (10) developments in<br>our mortgage banking business, including loan modifications, general demand, and the effects<br>of judicial or regulatory requirements or guidance; (11) changes in accounting principles,<br>policies, or guidelines; (12) changes in applicable laws, rules, or regulations; (13) adverse<br>results from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other legal and/or regulatory<br>actions, including as a result of SmartFinancial’s participation in and execution of government<br>programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic and related variants; (14) potential impacts of<br>adverse developments in the banking industry highlighted by high-profile bank failures,<br>including impacts on customer confidence, deposit outflows, liquidity and the regulatory<br>response thereto; (15) significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets<br>and the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment securities; (16) the effects of<br>war or other conflicts including the impacts related to or resulting from Russia’s military action<br>in Ukraine or the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas; and (17) other general competitive,<br>economic, political, and market factors, including those affecting our business, operations,<br>pricing, products, or services. These and other factors that could cause results to differ<br>materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in<br>SmartFinancial’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and<br>current reports on Form 8-K, in each case filed with or furnished to the Securities and<br>Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). Undue<br>reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. SmartFinancial disclaims any<br>obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this release, which<br>speak only as of the date hereof, whether as a result of new information, future events, or<br>otherwise.<br>Non-GAAP Financial Measures<br>Statements included in this presentation include Non-GAAP financial measures and should be<br>read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial<br>measures to GAAP financial measures. SmartFinancial management uses several Non-GAAP<br>financial measures, including: (i) operating revenue, (ii) operating earnings, (iii) operating return<br>on average assets, (iv) operating return on average shareholders’ equity, (v) return on average<br>tangible common equity, (vi) operating return on average tangible common equity, (vii)<br>operating efficiency ratio; (viii) tangible common equity; (ix) average tangible common equity; (x)<br>tangible book value; (xi) operating pre-provision net revenue earnings; (xii) operating noninterest<br>income; (xiii) operating noninterest expense; (xiv) tangible assets; and ratios derived therefrom,<br>in its analysis of the company's performance. Operating revenue includes the earnings from net<br>interest income and operating noninterest income (Non-GAAP). Operating earnings excludes<br>the following from net income: securities gains and losses, merger related and restructuring<br>expenses, and the income tax effect of adjustments. Operating return on average assets is the<br>annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average assets. Operating return on<br>average shareholders’ equity is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by<br>average equity. Return on average tangible common equity is the annualized net income divided<br>by average tangible common equity (Non-GAAP). Operating return on average tangible<br>common equity is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average tangible<br>common equity (Non-GAAP). The operating efficiency ratio includes an adjustment for taxable<br>equivalent yields and excludes securities gains and losses and merger related and restructuring<br>expenses from the efficiency ratio. Tangible common equity and average tangible common<br>equity exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and average<br>shareholders’ equity. Tangible book value excludes goodwill and other intangible assets less<br>shareholders’ equity divided by common shares outstanding. Operating pre-provision, net-revenue earnings is net interest income plus operating noninterest income (Non-GAAP) less<br>operating noninterest expense (Non-GAAP). Operating noninterest income and operating<br>noninterest expense exclude non-operating related income and expense items. A detailed<br>reconciliation of these items are available in the Non-GAAP reconciliations included in this<br>presentation. Tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangibles from total assets.<br>Management believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information<br>that allows investors to evaluate the ongoing performance of the company and provide<br>meaningful comparisons to its peers. Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures<br>also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results and allow investors<br>and company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are<br>not reflective of the underlying operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should<br>not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as<br>promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider SmartFinancial's performance and<br>financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing<br>the performance or financial condition of the company. Non-GAAP financial measures have<br>limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a<br>substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.<br>Unless otherwise indicated, all financial data contained in this presentation is as of 3/31/24 |

These estimates of changes in SmartFinancial’s net interest income require us to make certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds,<br>reinvestment rate, deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income.
