​

Billy Carroll, President & CEO, stated: "Our company delivered positive first quarter results with earnings and growth trends continuing their upward trajectory. Despite the recent volatility and turbulent geopolitical headlines, our markets remain resilient, and we continue to see ample opportunity as demonstrated by our 9% quarterly annualized loan growth. Our capital base and balance sheet are well positioned and our asset quality remains solid with non-performing assets to total assets at only 0.19%. As we head into 2025, we look forward to serving our clients through all economic environments while enhancing profitability and value for our shareholders.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

​

Net interest income was $38.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $37.8 million for the prior quarter. Average earning assets totaled $4.9 billion, an increase of $185.7 million from the prior quarter. The balances of average earnings assets changed quarter-over-quarter, primarily from an increase in average loans and leases of $111.0 million, average interest-earning cash of $73.2 million and securities of $1.5 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $179.8 million from the prior quarter, primarily attributable to an increase in average deposits of $180.7 million, offset by a decrease in borrowings of $925 thousand.

​

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.21% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 3.24% for the prior quarter. The tax equivalent net interest margin was negatively impacted primarily by the decreased yield on interest-earning assets and offset by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, quarter-over-quarter. The yield on loans and leases, excluding loan fees, on a fully tax equivalent basis (“FTE”) was 5.88% for the first quarter, compared to 5.95% for the prior quarter.

Noninterest Income

​

Noninterest income decreased $433 thousand to $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $9.0 million for the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

​

Noninterest expense remained at $32.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 and the prior quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase was minimal but there were changes within the categories of noninterest expense. The primary increases were in professional services related to additional auditing fees and other non-interest expenses related to higher operational cost, offset by lower salaries and employee benefits incentive accruals and other real estate and loan related expenses from write downs on repossessed assets at the Company’s equipment leasing subsidiary taken in the prior quarter.

​

Income Tax Expense

​

Income tax expense was $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $441 thousand, compared to $2.7 million for the prior quarter. The decrease is due to a lower effective tax rate related to SmartBank’s Real Estate Investment Trust.

​

Balance Sheet Trends

​

Total assets at March 31, 2025, were $5.41 billion compared to $5.28 billion at December 31, 2024. The $135.3 million increase is primarily attributable to increases in loans and leases of $85.9 million, cash and cash equivalents of $35.4 million and securities of $16.0 million.

​

Total liabilities were $4.91 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $4.78 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $120.8 million. Total deposits increased $122.2 million, which was driven primarily by increases in money market deposits of $92.3 million, other time

​

​

deposits of $54.9 million, interest-bearing demand deposits of $48.3 million and the issuance of brokered deposits of $7.9 million, offset by a decline in noninterest demand deposits of $81.3 million.

​

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2025, totaled $505.9 million, an increase of $14.5 million, from December 31, 2024. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily driven by net income of $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and a positive change of $4.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, offset by dividends paid of $1.4 million. Tangible book value per share1 was $23.61 at March 31, 2025, compared to $22.85 at December 31, 2024. Tangible common equity1 as a percentage of tangible assets1 was 7.57% at March 31, 2025, compared with 7.48% at December 31, 2024.

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 (“Non-GAAP”) 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 and ratios derived therefrom in its analysis of the Company's performance, including:

​

| (i) | Operating earnings

| (ii) | Operating noninterest income

| (iii) | Operating noninterest expense

| (iv) | Operating pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) earnings

| (v) | Tangible common equity

| (vi) | Average tangible common equity

| (vii) | Tangible book value per common share

| (viii) | Tangible assets

| (ix) | Operating efficiency ratio

Operating earnings, operating PPNR earnings, operating noninterest income and operating noninterest expense exclude non-operating related income and expense items from net income, noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively. Tangible common equity and average tangible common equity exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders' equity and average shareholders' equity, respectively. Tangible book value per common share is tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangibles from total assets. Operating efficiency ratio is the quotient of operating noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income adjusted for taxable equivalent yields plus operating noninterest income. A detailed reconciliation of these items and the ratios derived therefrom is available in the Non-GAAP reconciliations.

​

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 also believes these Non-GAAP financial measures 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.
