Truxton Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 17, 2024 (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 September 30, 2024. Third quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $4.57 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared to $4.56 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2023.

“Truxton once again produced strong performance in the third quarter despite some significant non-recurring expenses including those related to the conversion of our core system that should engender improved operations in the coming years,” said Truxton Chairman Tom Stumb. “With net interest income up 10% and Wealth Management revenue up 14% from a year ago, we believe we are poised for excellent performance during the rest of the year and into 2025. Truxton thrives because our professional staff is distinctively capable, experienced and dedicated to service.”

Key Highlights

  • Non-interest income was $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, which was $12 thousand lower than the second quarter of 2024 and $643 thousand over the third quarter of 2023. Wealth management constituted 95% of non-interest income in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 94% for both the second quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023.
  • Non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 declined by $147 thousand compared to the prior quarter. One-time expenses in the third quarter related to the bank’s core system conversion totaled approximately $400 thousand.
  • Loans increased 2.5% to $665 million at quarter end compared to $648 million at June 30, 2024, and were up 3.6% compared to $642 million at September 30, 2023.

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.

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.
