FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2023 EARNINGS

ABILENE, Texas, July 20, 2023 - First Financial Bankshares, Inc.(the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) (NASDAQ: FFIN) today reported earnings of $50.87 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to earnings of $60.49 million for the same quarter a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.36 for the second quarter of 2023 compared with $0.42 for the second quarter of 2022.

As further described below, the results this quarter when compared to the same quarter a year ago included (i) a $2.92 million decrease in net interest income, (ii) a $3.15 million decrease in debit card fees, (iii) a $2.19 million decrease in mortgage revenues, (iv) a $1.60 million decrease in gains on sale of available for sale securities, and (v) a $1.17 million decrease in interest recoveries on charged off loans. Offsetting these decreases in income was a $1.34 million decrease in profit sharing expense.

“We are pleased with the strong, organic loan growth, our consistent deposit base and the continued growth in net new accounts which was over 4,000 accounts during the quarter. While we continue to experience rising interest expense costs, we have been able to mitigate some of the impact on the net interest margin by investing our bond portfolio cash flows into our higher yielding loan portfolio. In addition, our outlook for mortgage activity has improved with our new team of experienced mortgage lenders in the Bryan, College Station region and increased activity as home buyers seem to have become more accustomed to higher rates,” said F. Scott Dueser, Chairman, CEO and President of First Financial Bankshares, Inc. “Looking forward, we plan to continue to grow loans and deposits, maintain our strong capital position, manage interest rate risk and reduce expenses. To cut expenses, I have made the personal decision to forgo awards of stock options, restricted stock grants, performance stock grants and my annual bonus for 2023. I am a firm believer that cost savings should start with the CEO. As always, we appreciate the continued support of our customers, shareholders, and associates,” Dueser added.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 was $95.87 million compared to $98.78 million for the second quarter of 2022. The net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 3.29 percent for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 3.34 percent for the first quarter of 2023 and 3.30 percent in the second quarter of 2022. Average interest-earning assets were $12.05 billion for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $12.49 billion for the same quarter a year ago.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.57 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to a provision for credit losses of $5.35 million for the second quarter of 2022. At June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses totaled $86.54 million, or 1.28 percent of loans held-for-investment (“loans” hereafter), compared to $71.93 million at June 30, 2022, or 1.22 percent of loans. Additionally, the reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $9.45 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $8.72 million at June 30, 2022.

For the second quarter of 2023, net charge-offs totaled $799 thousand compared to net recoveries of $916 thousand for the second quarter of 2022. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets totaled 0.43 percent at both June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022. Classified loans totaled $175.14 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $152.67 million at June 30, 2022.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2023 was $29.95 million compared to $37.32 million for the second quarter of 2022, largely due to the following:

•Debit card fees decreased by $3.15 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter a year ago. The decrease was due to the impact of becoming subject to regulations that limit debit card interchange revenue (“Durbin Amendment”) effective at the start of third quarter last year. Accordingly, the second quarter of 2023 is the last quarter that will be impacted for comparability purposes to the prior year as a result of the Company becoming subject to the Durbin Amendment.

•Mortgage income declined to $3.53 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $5.73 million for the second quarter of 2022 due to lower overall origination volume and margins primarily because of the significant increase in mortgage interest rates.

•Available for sale securities were sold in the second quarter last year for gain on sales of $1.65 million. Securities sales activity in subsequent quarters in 2022 and in the second quarter of 2023 did not generate similar gains.

•Recoveries of interest on previously charged-off or nonaccrual loans totaled $475 thousand for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $1.65 million for the second quarter of 2022, which was a larger than normal amount.

•Service charges on deposits increased to $6.31 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared with $6.04 million for the second quarter of 2022, driven by the growth in net new accounts.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2023 totaled $57.61 million compared to $58.33 million for the second quarter of 2022, as a result of the following:

•Salary, commissions, and employee benefit costs decreased to $31.77 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $33.15 million in the second quarter of 2022 primarily resulting from a decrease of $1.34 million in profit sharing expense and $428 thousand in mortgage incentives.

•Noninterest expenses, excluding salary related costs, increased $661 thousand for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 largely due to an increase of $513 thousand in FDIC insurance fees.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 44.74 percent for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 41.61 percent for the second quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by the decrease in non-interest income from the prior year.

As of June 30, 2023, consolidated total assets were $12.83 billion compared to $13.26 billion at June 30, 2022. Loans totaled $6.78 billion at June 30, 2023, compared with loans of $5.88 billion at June 30, 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, loans grew $201.37 million, or 12.28 percent annualized, when compared to March 31, 2023 balances. Deposits totaled $10.81 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $11.12 billion at June 30, 2022.

Shareholders’ equity was $1.37 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $1.37 billion and $1.33 billion at March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of changes in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) due to interest rate changes over the past year. The unrealized loss on the securities portfolio, net of applicable tax, totaled $490.28 million at June 30, 2023, compared to unrealized losses of $458.25 million at March 31, 2023 and $400.51 million at June 30, 2022.
