Re:    Re: FB Bancorp, Inc.
   Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed July 18, 2024
  

File No. 333-277630

Dear Mr. Arzonetti:

FB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is in receipt of the correspondence from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated July 26, 2024 related to the SEC’s review of the Company’s Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”). Our response to the comment is set forth below. For the convenience of the SEC Staff, we have repeated the comment in bold, followed by our response.

Amendment No. 5 to Form S-1

Risk factors, page 12

 

1.

We note your disclosure in the third from last paragraph on page 35 that your that your average balance of loans held for investment during the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $114.3 million, or 19.6%, compared to June 30, 2023. We also note that the average balance of loans increased approximately 28.9% since December 31, 2022. In light of this, please include a new risk factor discussing the rapid increases in the loan portfolio and the fact that many of these loans are not seasoned enough to demonstrate any problems.

The Prospectus has been revised to include a new risk factor in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see “Risk Factors – The unseasoned nature of recently originated loans, in particular, commercial real estate and commercial loans, may result in changes in estimating collectability, which may lead to additional provisions or charge-offs, which could hurt our profits.”
