NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Truxton Corporation, the parent company for Truxton Trust Company (“Truxton” or “the Bank”) and subsidiaries, announced its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. First quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $4.3 million or $1.47 per diluted share compared to $4.2 million or $1.45 per diluted share for the same quarter in 2022. Net income and fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter rose by 2% and 1%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2022.
“Truxton performed well in the first quarter of 2023 despite continued financial market turbulence,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Stumb. “In light of recent banking industry turmoil, it is important to highlight that our conservative asset liability management has always been a key pillar of strength for our business. Volatility in stock and bond markets also continues to be a headwind. Wealth Management Services revenue was down only $10 thousand for the quarter compared to first quarter 2022 while many market indices were down more than 10% over the same period. Net interest margin for the quarter held steady year-over-year despite a dramatic shift in the interest rate environment during the same period. The market environment remains challenging, but we continue to seek to serve our shareholders well by striving to serve our clients well.”
Key Highlights
- Non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities, grew to $4.5 million in the first quarter, an increase of 2% from the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2% higher in comparison to the first quarter of 2022. Wealth management services constituted 94% of non-interest income, excluding those same gains and losses, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 95% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 96% in the first quarter of 2022.
- Loans rose by 1% to $626 million at quarter end compared to $619 million on December 31, 2022 and were up 24% compared to $505 million on March 31, 2022.
- Total deposits decreased by 4% from $808 million at December 31, 2022, to $771 million at March 31, 2023, and were less than 1% lower in comparison to $778 million at March 31, 2022. Truxton continues to fund its growth from a single banking location led by its commitment to provide what it believes is superior deposit operations service and technology. As a result, occupancy expenditures and fixed asset investments are a fraction of typical peers.
- Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 2.75%, a decrease of 8 basis points from the 2.83% experienced in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and the same as in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Cost of funds was 2.27% in the first quarter of 2023, up from 1.73% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and up from 0.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
- Asset quality remains sound at Truxton. Truxton had $0 in non-performing assets on March 31, 2023. Truxton had $12 thousand of net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2023, $2 thousand in recoveries in the trailing quarter, and $0 in the first quarter of 2022.
- Truxton adopted the mandated Current Expected Credit Loss accounting methodology for calculating its allowance for credit losses effective January 1, 2023. Allowance for credit losses, excluding $507 thousand for unfunded commitments, was $6.0 million at quarter end March 31, 2023, compared to Allowance for loans losses of $5.8 million at December 31, 2022, and $4.9 million at March 31, 2022. For the same three periods, the Bank’s allowance was 0.95%, 0.93%, and 0.97%, respectively, of gross loans outstanding at period end.
- The Bank’s capital position remains strong. Its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.29% at March 31, 2023, compared to 9.78% at December 31, 2022, and 9.48% at March 31, 2022. Book value per common share was $25.71, $25.39, and $25.77 at March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, respectively.

| Yield Table Assumptions - Average loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalent basis. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes are allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category. | ||||||||||||||||||||
