Tyler, Texas (April 30, 2026) Southside Bancshares, Inc. (“Southside” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SBSI) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
“We are pleased to report solid financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, which include linked quarter loan growth of 2.7%, earnings per share of $0.78, a return on average assets of 1.10% and a return on average tangible common equity of 14.39%,” stated Keith Donahoe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southside. “Linked quarter, net interest income increased $441,000 to $57.7 million, and our net interest margin increased three basis points to 3.01% due to lower funding costs during the quarter. We expect further savings on our funding costs during the second quarter after the redemption in February of our $93 million subordinated notes due 2030 which had an interest rate of 7.51%.”
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Net income was $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $21.5 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.8 million, or 8.1%. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.78 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.71 for the same period in 2025, an increase of $0.07, or 9.9%. The increase in net income was due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense, provision for credit losses and income tax expense. Annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were 1.10% and 10.96%, respectively, compared to 1.03% and 10.57%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our efficiency ratio and tax-equivalent efficiency ratio(1) were 56.44% and 54.98%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 57.04% and 55.04%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 53.85% and 52.28%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $57.7 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 7.1%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities and an increase in the volume and change in the mix of our interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities. Linked quarter, net interest income increased $0.4 million, or 0.8%, compared to $57.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Our net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) increased to 2.91% and 3.01%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.74% and 2.86%, respectively, for the same period in 2025, and increased from 2.87% and 2.98%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Noninterest income was $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $2.4 million, or 23.2%, compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2025. There were increases to all noninterest income categories, however, the primary increases occurred in other noninterest income, trust fees and a decrease in net loss on sale of securities available for sale (“AFS”) securities. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $7.0 million, or 125.8%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025, due to a $7.3 million net loss on the sale of AFS securities during the fourth quarter of 2025 and an increase in other noninterest income, partially offset by a decrease in deposit services income during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Noninterest expense increased $3.5 million, or 9.4%, to $40.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $37.1 million for the same period in 2025. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased by $3.1 million or 8.3%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase for both periods was primarily due to increases in
salaries and employee benefits expense, loss on redemption of subordinated notes, other noninterest expense and software and data processing expense.
Income tax expense increased $0.3 million, or 6.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. On a linked quarter basis, income tax expense increased $1.3 million, or 33.3%. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) decreased slightly to 17.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 18.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and increased from 15.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The marginally lower ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was partially due to a decrease in state income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income. The higher ETR for the linked quarter was primarily due to the decrease in tax-free income as a percentage of pre-tax income when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Balance Sheet Data
At March 31, 2026, Southside had $8.80 billion in total assets, compared to $8.34 billion at March 31, 2025 and $8.51 billion at December 31, 2025.
Loans at March 31, 2026 were $4.95 billion, an increase of $378.9 million, or 8.3%, compared to $4.57 billion at March 31, 2025. Linked quarter, loans increased $128.2 million, or 2.7%, due to increases of $93.2 million in construction loans, $40.6 million in commercial real estate loans and $12.2 million in commercial loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $9.6 million in municipal loans, $7.1 million in 1-4 family residential loans and $1.2 million in loans to individuals.
Securities at March 31, 2026 were $2.87 billion, an increase of $131.8 million, or 4.8%, compared to $2.74 billion at March 31, 2025. Linked quarter, securities increased $164.3 million, or 6.1%, from $2.70 billion at December 31, 2025.
Deposits at March 31, 2026 were $6.87 billion, an increase of $283.6 million, or 4.3%, compared to $6.59 billion at March 31, 2025, primarily due to the increase of $236.8 million in brokered deposits and a $186.1 million increase in retail deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $139.2 million in public fund deposits. Linked quarter, deposits increased $9.3 million, or 0.1%, compared to $6.87 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in brokered deposits of $110.7 million, or 16.5%, partially offset by decreases in retail deposits of $82.0 million, or 1.6%, and public fund deposits of $19.4 million, or 1.7%.
At March 31, 2026, we had 178,823 total deposit accounts with an average balance of $34,000. Our estimated uninsured deposits were 38.4% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026. When excluding affiliate deposits (Southside-owned deposits) and public fund deposits (all collateralized), our total estimated deposits without insurance or collateral was 21.9% as of March 31, 2026. Our noninterest bearing deposits represent approximately 20.0% of total deposits. Linked quarter, our cost of interest bearing deposits decreased eight basis points from 2.73% in the prior quarter to 2.65%. Linked quarter, our cost of total deposits decreased three basis points from 2.16% in the prior quarter to 2.13%.
Our cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 18 basis points, from 2.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 2.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our cost of total deposits decreased 13 basis points, from 2.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 2.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our capital ratios and contingent liquidity sources remain solid. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any common stock, pursuant to our Stock Repurchase Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, repurchases of our outstanding common stock may be carried out in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that might be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the Plan and may modify, suspend or discontinue the Plan at any time. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 0.8 million authorized shares remained available for repurchase. We have not repurchased any common stock pursuant to the Plan subsequent to March 31, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, our total available contingent liquidity, net of current outstanding borrowings, was $2.68 billion, consisting of FHLB advances, Federal Reserve Discount Window and correspondent bank lines of credit.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2026 were $9.7 million, or 0.11% of total assets, a decrease of $28.5 million, or 74.6%, from $38.2 million, or 0.45% of total assets, at December 31, 2025, due primarily to a decrease of $27.5 million in restructured loans. The decrease in restructured loans was due to the payoff of a $27.5 million restructured commercial real estate loan in the first quarter that was originally restructured with an extension of maturity in the first quarter of 2025 to allow for an extended
lease up period. Nonperforming assets decreased $22.5 million, or 69.8%, compared to $32.2 million, or 0.39% of total assets, at March 31, 2025.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $46.0 million, or 0.93% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $45.1 million, or 0.94% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The allowance for loan losses was $44.6 million, or 0.98% of total loans, at March 31, 2025. The decrease in allowance as a percentage of total loans compared to December 31, 2025 was due to both improvements in the overall economic forecast within the CECL model as well as improvements in the financial metrics of the borrowers in our commercial loan portfolio.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $1.0 million, compared to $42,000 and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Net charge-offs were $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
We recorded a provision for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.7 million and $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The balance of the allowance for off-balance-sheet credit exposures was $3.6 million and $3.8 million at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is included in other liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of our performance. These include return on average tangible common equity and the following fully taxable-equivalent measures (“FTE”): (i) Net interest income (FTE), (ii) net interest margin (FTE), (iii) net interest spread (FTE), and (iv) efficiency ratio (FTE), which include the effects of taxable-equivalent adjustments using a federal income tax rate of 21% to increase tax-exempt interest income to a tax-equivalent basis. Interest income earned on certain assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments.
Return on average tangible common equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure that calculates the return available to common shareholders without the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization, thereby allowing management to evaluate the performance of the business consistently.
Net interest income (FTE), net interest margin (FTE) and net interest spread (FTE). Net interest income (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments and is not permitted under GAAP in the consolidated statements of income. We believe that this measure is the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and that it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest income. Net interest margin (FTE) is the ratio of net interest income (FTE) to average earning assets. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest margin. Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference in the average yield on average earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis and the average rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest spread.
Efficiency ratio (FTE). The efficiency ratio (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that provides a measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. The ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense, excluding amortization expense on intangibles and certain nonrecurring expense by the sum of net interest income (FTE) and noninterest income, excluding net gain (loss) on sale of securities available for sale and certain nonrecurring impairments. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our efficiency ratio.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently. Whenever we present a non-GAAP financial measure in an SEC filing, we are also required to present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and reconcile the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure and such comparable GAAP measure.
Management believes that (i) adjusting return on average shareholders’ equity for the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization and (ii) adjusting net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread to a fully taxable-equivalent basis are standard practices in the banking industry as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons. Tax-equivalent adjustments are reflected in the respective earning asset categories as listed in the “Average Balances with Average Yields and Rates” tables.
A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
