Insights

bank financial analyst

Q3 shows solid net interest growth but a large fraud-related charge-off offsets earnings, leaving near-term impact mixed.

Net interest income rose to $127.00 million and average interest-earning assets increased to $13.60 billion, supporting a taxable-equivalent net interest margin of 3.80%. These items drove year-to-date earnings growth of nearly 12% and improved the efficiency ratio to 44.74%, indicating the core lending and fee businesses remain productive.

Credit costs and one-off losses materially affect the quarter: the Company recorded a $24.44 million provision and $22.34 million of net charge-offs, including a $21.55 million charge-off tied to alleged fraud. The allowance for credit losses remained at 1.29% of loans and nonperforming assets as a percent of loans fell to 0.71%, but the large single-relationship loss creates uncertainty around recoverability and legal timing.

Watch collateral liquidation progress, legal outcomes, and future provisions over the next 3–12 months. Key monitorables are any recovery amounts from the charged-off loan, quarterly provision levels, and quarterly net interest margin trends as asset growth and deposit composition evolve.

ABILENE, Texas, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") (NASDAQ: FFIN) today reported earnings of $52.27 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to earnings of $55.31 million for the same quarter a year ago and $66.66 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Diluted earnings per share were $0.36 for the third quarter of 2025 compared with $0.39 for the same quarter a year ago and $0.47 for the linked quarter.

"This quarter was impacted by a $21.55 million credit loss believed to be due to fraudulent activity associated with a commercial borrower. We have reviewed our portfolio to look for systemic issues and believe this to be isolated. We have initiated legal action and are continuing to work with law enforcement. Despite this setback, our core earnings trends remain positive, with year-to-date earnings growth of nearly 12 percent compared to 2024." said F. Scott Dueser, Chairman and CEO of First Financial Bankshares, Inc. "We are optimistic as we move into the final quarter of the year and will remain focused on liquidating the collateral of the loan and moving the bank forward with continued growth and profitability by keeping our customers, shareholders, and employees first."

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $127.00 million compared to $107.11 million in the same quarter last year and $123.73 million for the second quarter of 2025. The net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 3.80 percent for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 3.50 percent for the third quarter of 2024 and 3.81 percent in the second quarter of 2025. Average interest-earning assets were $13.60 billion for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $12.48 billion for the same quarter a year ago.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $24.44 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to a provision for credit losses of $6.12 million and $3.13 million for the third quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2025, respectively. On September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses totaled $105.96 million, or 1.29 percent of loans held-for-investment ("loans" hereafter), compared to $99.94 million, or 1.29 percent of loans at September 30, 2024. Additionally, the reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $8.84 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $8.00 million at September 30, 2024.

For the third quarter of 2025, net charge-offs totaled $22.34 million compared to net charge-offs of $786 thousand for the third quarter of 2024. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets totaled 0.71 percent at September 30, 2025, versus 0.79 percent at June 30, 2025 and 0.83 percent at September 30, 2024. Classified loans totaled $252.96 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $229.92 million at September 30, 2024.

Third quarter provision and charge offs were impacted by the aforementioned $21.55 million charge off of a commercial loan relationship. While we are pursuing all possible avenues of recovery, the amount and timing of any potential recovery cannot currently be determined.   

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $34.26 million compared to $32.36 million for the third quarter of 2024. Notable changes for the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the same quarter a year ago are as follows:

• Mortgage income increased to $4.38 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $3.36 million for the third quarter of 2024 due to improved origination volume related to lower interest rates and the strategic restructuring of the mortgage lending team. 
• Trust fee income increased $1.26 million to $12.95 million, or 10.74 percent, compared to trust fee income of $11.69 million in the third quarter of 2024. Trust revenue has increased primarily due to growth in assets under management to $12.05 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $10.86 billion at September 30, 2024.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $73.67 million compared to $66.01 million for the third quarter of 2024.  Notable changes for the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the same quarter a year ago are as follows:

• Salary, commissions, and employee benefit costs increased to $42.61 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $37.50 million in the third quarter of 2024.  The increase from the prior year is related primarily to increases of $3.12 million in salaries and $1.47 million in officer bonus and incentive accruals related to annualized earnings growth.
• Noninterest expenses, excluding salary related costs, increased $2.55 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 largely due to increases in software amortization and other operational losses.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 44.74 percent for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 46.45 percent for the third quarter of 2024. The improvement from the same period in the prior year is primarily due to the increase in net interest income. 

As of September 30, 2025, consolidated total assets were $14.84 billion compared to $13.58 billion at September 30, 2024. Loans totaled $8.24 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with loans of $7.72 billion at September 30, 2024.  During the third quarter of 2025, loans grew $168.68 million, or 8.29 percent annualized, when compared to June 30, 2025, balances.

We also held $150.00 million of ICS one-way deposits as of September 30, 2025, that we were able to obtain at an attractive rate.  No ICS one-way deposits were outstanding at June 30, 2025.
