Positive
- Strong earnings growth: Net income rose to $83.0 million in Q1 2026, a 31% year-over-year increase, with diluted EPS up similarly to $1.52.
- Margin and efficiency gains: Net interest margin expanded to 3.53% from 2.92% a year ago, and the efficiency ratio improved to 29.80% from 34.97%, reflecting better profitability.
- Healthy balance sheet and capital: Loans grew 8.2% year-over-year to $13.95 billion, deposits increased, and common equity tier 1 capital improved from 11.48% to 11.86%.
Negative
- Weaker asset quality metrics: Nonperforming assets to total assets rose to 1.00% from 0.40% a year earlier, and annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.25%.
- Higher credit provisioning: Provision for credit losses increased to $10.6 million from $6.5 million in the prior-year quarter, including a $6.7 million charge-off on a long-standing impaired relationship.
Insights
ServisFirst delivered stronger earnings and margin expansion but with higher credit costs.
ServisFirst Bancshares posted net income of $82.97M, up 31% year-over-year, driven by a wider net interest margin of 3.53% and loan growth of 8.2%. Diluted EPS climbed to $1.52, while the efficiency ratio improved to 29.80%, indicating tight cost control.
Balance sheet trends were broadly constructive: loans reached $13.95B and deposits $14.49B, with common equity tier 1 capital at 11.86%. Liquidity remained solid, with $1.84B in cash and cash equivalents and no FHLB advances or brokered deposits as of March 31, 2026.
Asset quality metrics, however, showed some pressure. Nonperforming assets rose to 1.00% of total assets versus 0.40% a year earlier, largely tied to specific real-estate relationships. Annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.25%, and the provision for credit losses rose to $10.6M. The allowance remained at 1.25% of loans, suggesting management is building reserves in response to identified credit issues.

During the first quarter of 2026, we recorded a $6.7 million charge-off related to a long-standing impaired relationship. The allowance for credit losses to total loans at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, was 1.25%, 1.25%, and 1.28%, respectively.

The increase on a year-over year basis was primarily due to an increase in loans sold into the secondary market. We also increased our per-loan administrative fee in the first quarter of 2026. Credit card income increased $234,000, or 11.9%, to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, and increased $367,000, or 20.0%, on a linked quarter basis.

The decrease on a linked quarter basis was due to a death benefit received in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as a $1.0 million, or $.02 per share, reduction in the first quarter of 2026 arising due to an adjustment of the amount in the fourth quarter of 2025. Other operating income decreased $373,000, or 37.3%, to $628,000 for the first quarter of 2026 from $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased $76,000, or 10.8%, on a linked quarter basis.

Salary and benefit expense increased $4.0 million, or 17.4%, to $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and increased $3.0 million, or 12.6%, on a linked quarter basis, primarily due to the full impact of our Houston market expansion and seasonally higher payroll taxes during the first quarter of 2026. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased by 32 (of which, 24 are frontline), or 5.0%, to 668 at March 31, 2026 compared to 636 at March 31, 2025, and increased by 2 from the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

Professional services expense increased $10,000, or 0.5%, to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and increased $462,000, or 31.2%, on a linked quarter basis. Other operating expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 37.4%, to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased $2.8 million, or 39.5%, on a linked quarter basis. The efficiency ratio was 29.80% during the first quarter of 2026 compared to 34.97% during the first quarter of 2025 and 28.78% during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Income tax expense increased $2.1 million, or 13.4%, to $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased $3.2 million, or 15.2%, on a linked quarter basis. Our effective tax rate was 17.82% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 20.06% for the first quarter of 2025, and 19.72% on a linked quarter basis. During the first quarter of 2026, we purchased Investment Tax Credits, which reduced our tax expense. We recognized a reduction in provision for income taxes resulting from excess tax benefits from the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 of $229,000 and $470,000, respectively.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures of tangible common stockholders’ equity, total tangible assets, tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to total tangible assets, each of which excludes goodwill associated with our acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. in January 2015.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the comparative periods presented in this press release. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
