Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Home BancShares, Inc. reported strong first quarter 2026 results with net income of $118.2 million, diluted EPS of $0.60 and ROA of 2.09%. Total revenue (net) was $266.7 million, up 2.5% year over year, while net interest margin was 4.51%, slightly below 4.61% in the prior quarter.

Total loans were $15.63 billion and deposits $17.74 billion, supporting total assets of $23.20 billion. Credit quality weakened as non-performing loans rose to $182.1 million and non-performing assets to $224.1 million, largely driven by a single $92.1 million relationship placed on non-accrual.

Capital remained robust, with common equity tier 1 at 16.7%, total risk-based capital at 19.5%, and record book value per share of $22.15 and tangible book value per share of $14.87. The company repurchased 507,622 shares and paid a dividend of $0.21 per share.

Effective April 1, 2026, Home BancShares completed its acquisition of Mountain Commerce Bancorp, issuing approximately 5.4 million shares valued at about $146 million, with MCBI shareholders receiving 0.85 Home share for each MCBI share.

Positive

  • Strong profitability and returns: Q1 2026 net income of $118.2 million, ROA of 2.09%, ROE of 11.09% and a 4.51% net interest margin, alongside a 41.59% efficiency ratio, indicate robust core earnings and cost discipline.
  • Robust capital and record book value: Common equity tier 1 capital of 16.7%, total risk-based capital of 19.5%, and record book value per share of $22.15 and tangible book value per share of $14.87 support balance-sheet strength and shareholder value.

Negative

  • Sharp increase in problem assets: Non-performing loans rose from $85.0 million to $182.1 million and non-performing assets from $124.8 million to $224.1 million, cutting allowance coverage from 350.17% to 163.43% and signaling higher credit risk concentration in at least one large relationship.

Insights

Solid profitability and capital, but a notable credit quality spike.

Home BancShares delivered Q1 2026 net income of $118.2 million and ROA of 2.09%, alongside a strong net interest margin of 4.51%. Revenue grew 2.5% year over year to $266.7 million, while the efficiency ratio stayed low at 41.59%, signaling disciplined cost control.

Asset quality, however, deteriorated as non-performing loans jumped to $182.1 million and non-performing assets to $224.1 million. The company attributes much of this increase to one $92.1 million relationship moving to non-accrual, and maintains an allowance equal to 1.90% of total loans.

Capital remains very strong, with common equity tier 1 at 16.7% and total risk-based capital at 19.5%. Record book value per share of $22.15 and tangible book value of $14.87 reflect retained earnings and buybacks. Completion of the $146 million all-stock Mountain Commerce Bancorp acquisition on April 1, 2026 adds a new growth layer; subsequent disclosures will clarify integration impacts.

Pre-tax, pre-provision, net income (PPNR) financial
"PPNR totaled approximately $152.7 million, representing an increase of $5.6 million, or 3.8%."
Net interest margin (NIM) financial
"Our net interest margin was 4.51% and 4.61% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively."
Net interest margin (NIM) measures how much profit a bank or lending business makes from its core activity of borrowing and lending: it’s the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid to depositors and lenders, expressed as a percentage of the assets that earn interest. Think of it like a store’s markup on goods — a higher NIM means the lender keeps more on each dollar it intermediates, so investors use it to judge profitability and sensitivity to interest-rate changes.
Non-performing assets financial
"Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.97% and 0.55% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively."
Loans or other credit exposures that are not producing expected income because borrowers have stopped making scheduled payments for a significant period (commonly around 90 days). Think of it like a business lending money that has gone quiet — the cash flow stops while the lender still carries the debt on its books. High levels of non-performing assets matter to investors because they reduce a lender’s earnings, tie up capital that could be used for growth, and signal higher risk of future losses.
Allowance for credit losses financial
"The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was $297.6 million, or 1.90% of total loans."
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
Tangible book value per share financial
"Tangible book value per share (non‑GAAP) also rose consistently to $14.87 over the same period."
Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.
Efficiency ratio financial
"For the first quarter of 2026, our efficiency ratio was 41.59%, and our efficiency ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 41.99%."
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.

Operating Highlights
Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was $118.2 million, or $0.60 diluted earnings per share. When adjusting for non-fundamental items, net income and diluted earnings per share on an as-adjusted basis (non-GAAP), were $118.2 million(1) and $0.60 per share(1), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Our net interest margin was 4.51% and 4.61% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The yield on loans was 7.08% and 7.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, as average loans increased from $15.51 billion to $15.68 billion. The rate on interest bearing deposits decreased to 2.35% as of March 31, 2026, from 2.47% as of December 31, 2025, while average interest-bearing deposits increased from $13.47 billion to $13.66 billion.
During the first quarter of 2026, there was no event interest income compared to $2.6 million of event interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease in event income was dilutive to the net interest margin by six basis points. Purchase accounting accretion on acquired loans was $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and average purchase accounting loan discounts were $12.5 million and $13.8 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $226.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and $233.8 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025. This decrease in net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, was the result of a $12.2 million decrease in interest income, which was partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in interest expense. The $12.2 million decrease in interest income was primarily the result of an $11.7 million decrease in loan income and a $1.1 million decrease in income from investments. These reductions were partially offset by a $540,000 increase in income from deposits with other banks. The $4.9 million decrease in interest expense was due to a $4.6 million decrease in interest expense on deposits and a $293,000 decrease in interest expense on FHLB and other borrowed funds.
The Company reported $42.8 million of non-interest income for the first quarter of 2026. The most important components of non-interest income were $10.0 million from service charges on deposit accounts, $9.8 million from other service charges and fees, $9.1 million from other income, $5.5 million from trust fees, $4.4 million in mortgage lending income, $2.5 million from dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB and other, and $1.4 million from the increase in cash value of life insurance, which were partially offset by $1.2 million in expense from the fair value adjustment for marketable securities.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $114.0 million. The most important components of non-interest expense were $63.2 million salaries and employee benefits expense, $26.6 million in other operating expense, $14.9 million in occupancy and equipment expenses, $8.9 million in data processing expenses and $394,000 in merger and acquisition expenses. Included within other expense was the FDIC special assessment credit, which lowered expense by $1.7 million. For the first quarter of 2026, our efficiency ratio was 41.59%, and our efficiency ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 41.99%(1).

The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was $297.6 million, or 1.90% of total loans, at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was 163.43% and 350.17% of its total non-performing loans, respectively.
Shareholders’ equity was $4.35 billion at March 31, 2026, which increased approximately $52.7 million from December 31, 2025. The net increase in shareholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $76.9 million increase in retained earnings. This was partially offset by the $13.5 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income and the $13.9 million in stock repurchases for the quarter. Book value per common share was $22.15 at March 31, 2026, compared to $21.88 at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $14.87(1) at March 31, 2026, compared to $14.60(1) at December 31, 2025. Book value per common share and tangible book value per common share, as of March 31, 2026, were both records for the Company.
Stock Repurchases and Dividends
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 507,622 shares of common stock, which equated to a shareholder buyback yield of 0.25%(2). In comparison, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 540,706 shares of common stock, which equated to a shareholder buyback yield of 0.27%(2). The Company defines shareholder buyback yield as the percentage of the Company’s market capitalization spent on share repurchases. It reflects how much the Company is returning to the shareholders by reducing the number of outstanding shares, and it is calculated by dividing the Company’s total share repurchase cost for the period by the Company’s total market capitalization at the beginning of the period.
In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid a dividend of $0.21 per share. This cash dividend was consistent with the dividend paid during the fourth quarter of 2025.



Branches
The Company currently has 75 branches in Arkansas, 78 branches in Florida, 59 branches in Texas, 8 branches in Tennessee, 5 branches in Alabama and one branch in New York City.
Acquisition
Effective April 1, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Mountain Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (“Mountain Commerce” or “MCBI”), parent company of Mountain Commerce Bank, pursuant to the terms of a previously disclosed definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The acquisition was completed through a series of mergers resulting in Mountain Commerce merging into Home and Mountain Commerce Bank merging into Centennial (collectively, the “Merger”).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Home issued approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock valued at approximately $146 million as of April 1, 2026, with MCBI shareholders receiving 0.85 shares of Home common stock for each share of MCBI common stock they owned at closing. No cash consideration was paid in connection with the Merger, except for cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of Home common stock, equal to $26.77 multiplied by any resulting fractional shares of Home common stock to which the former MCBI shareholders would have been entitled.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures--including net income (earnings), as adjusted; pre-tax, pre-provision, net income (PPNR); PPNR, as adjusted; pre-tax net income, as adjusted, to total revenue (net); pre-tax, pre-provision, profit percentage; pre-tax, pre-provision, profit percentage, as adjusted; diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted; return on average assets, as adjusted; return on average assets excluding intangible amortization; return on average assets, as adjusted, excluding intangible amortization; return on average common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity excluding intangible amortization; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted, excluding intangible amortization; efficiency ratio, as adjusted; tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets--to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant items or transactions that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s primary business operating results. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s business. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.

(1) Calculation of this metric and the reconciliation to GAAP are included in the schedules accompanying this release.
(2) Calculation of this metric is included in the schedules accompanying this release.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The management of Home BancShares, Inc. (the “Company”) uses these non-GAAP financial measures--including net income (earnings), as adjusted; pre- tax, pre-provision, net income (PPNR); PPNR, as adjusted; return on average assets, as adjusted; efficiency ratio, as adjusted; and tangible book value per share--to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant items or transactions that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s primary business operating results. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non- GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s business. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables accompanying the Company’s earnings press release for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, available at https://www.homebancshares.com/news-events/news/default.aspx. 2


 

NET INCOME 3 During the first quarter of 2026, the Company delivered stable and resilient earnings performance, with net income of approximately $118.2 million, consistent with the prior quarter and up year over year.

(1) Calculation of this metric and the reconciliation to GAAP can be found in the tables accompanying the Company’s earnings press release for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, available at https://www.homebancshares.com/news-events/news/default.aspx.


 

PRE-TAX, PRE-PROVISION NET INCOME 4 The chart below reflects solid year-over-year growth in pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) during the first quarter of 2026, reflecting continued strength in operating performance. PPNR totaled approximately $152.7 million, representing an increase of $5.6 million, or 3.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

These results reflect a generally upward trend throughout the periods presented, supported by effective balance sheet management and stable credit performance. Despite normal quarterly variability, the Company delivered consistent, high-quality earnings, underscoring the strength and resilience of its net interest income.


 

NON-INTEREST INCOME 6 Non-interest income was $42.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a normalization from the levels experienced in prior quarters, primarily due to certain non-continuing other income items. Results remained supported by a diversified mix of revenue streams, with performance over the prior several quarters demonstrating the Company’s ability to generate stable non-interest income despite typical quarterly variability.

EXPENSES 8 During the first quarter of 2026, the Company demonstrated continued expense discipline and effective balance sheet management. Interest expense declined to $87.1 million primarily due to the declining interest rate environment. Non-interest expense remained well controlled at approximately $114.0 million, consistent with prior quarter levels. Together, these trends highlight the Company’s focus on cost efficiency and operating discipline, supporting strong operating leverage and overall earnings performance.


 

EFFICIENCY RATIO 9 The Company continued to demonstrate strong operating discipline throughout Q1 2026, posting an efficiency ratio of 41.6%. While modestly higher than the fourth quarter level, the efficiency ratio reflects continued, effective expense management and remains well controlled.

RETURN ON AVERAGE ASSETS 10 The Company delivered strong and improving return on average assets (ROA) during the first quarter of 2026, with an ROA of approximately 2.09%. This performance reflects both a year over year and sequential quarterly increase, underscoring continued balance sheet efficiency and disciplined execution.
