Chief Executive Officer, J. Myers Jones, III, stated, “I am extremely proud of our bank-wide team, that has performed selflessly and sacrificially over the last several months as we all navigate the uncertain and unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and recover from devastating tornadoes that impacted Middle Tennessee in early March. We also continue to make great progress as we diligently work toward a seamless close of our strategic merger with our soon-to-be teammates at FirstBank. We have focused on serving the financial needs of our clients, while simultaneously ensuring the health and well-being of our employees and communities. As is consistent with our core values, we will continue to work tirelessly with all of our stakeholders and look forward to continuing to do our part to beat this invisible enemy and look hopefully forward to the time when we return to more normal times.”

Jones continued, “Our teams have worked continuously during this period of time to assist our customers in a myriad of ways, including loan payment deferrals and the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), in a safe and sound manner. As of a few days ago, we are proud to announce that temporary loan payment deferrals have been granted for over 350 loans, amounting to approximately $490 million, and we successfully processed 329 PPP loans, amounting to approximately $52 million. As we evaluated the economic risks and uncertainties presented by COVID-19, we recorded a $13 million loan loss provision for the quarter, which significantly impacted our financial results.”

Balance Sheet

Loans HFI increased $43.3 million, or 6.2% annualized from the fourth quarter of 2019, and increased $48.4 million year-over-year, or 1.7%.

This net loan growth for the first quarter of 2020 occurred in spite of the $31.1 million linked-quarter reduction in the Shared National Credit (SNC) portfolio to a balance of $105.5 million, representing a 54.0% year-over-year and 91.1% annualized linked-quarter decrease. This is the lowest SNC balance held by the Company during the last six quarters, representing 3.7% of loans HFI, which is almost half of the Company’s concentration of 9.3% of loans HFI at the peak of the SNC portfolio at December 31, 2018. Non-SNC loan growth in the first quarter was $74.5 million, representing annualized growth of 11.2% from the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company estimates approximately $32 million of the loan growth was due to increased customer line of credit utilization, which was predominantly from commercial and industrial loan customers. Of the $738.2 million of unfunded commitments at March 31, 2020, the Company estimates approximately $273.3 million, or approximately 37%, are available to be drawn by customers without further approval by the Bank.

Total deposits decreased by $70.1 million, or 8.8% annualized from the fourth quarter of 2019 and decreased by $178.4 million, or 5.4% from the first quarter of 2019. This decrease in deposits was largely attributable to the early redemption of $73.7 million of higher cost brokered deposits during the quarter. Core deposits increased by $67.8 million, or 85.4% annualized from the fourth quarter 2019, driven primarily by reciprocal deposits. Loans HFI increased to 91.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2020, when compared with 87.7% at December 31, 2019, and increased when compared with 84.7% at March 31, 2019.

As part of the strategic rotation and optimization away from non-core assets and liabilities, the Company has reduced its securities portfolio by a total of $856.6 million since its peak level of $1.4 billion at March 31, 2018, representing a reduction of 61.2%. As of March 31, 2020, securities totaled $543.2 million, which represents 14.3% of total assets. Wholesale funding, represented by brokered deposits and FHLB advances, totaled $669.4 million, down $496.9 million from the December 31, 2018 peak, a 42.6% decline in the non-core wholesale funding portfolio.

Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Christopher J. Black stated, “During the first quarter of 2020, we continued to make substantial progress on a number of key initiatives to increase core funding and liquidity and find ourselves with ample liquidity, capital and core deposits, well-prepared to meet continuing customer demands in this challenging economic environment. We continue to make progress in our ongoing objectives to reduce non-core banking activities, as demonstrated in the healthy core deposit growth and reduction in our SNC portfolio during the first three months of 2020. We continue to work through the reduction of our overall Corporate and Healthcare loan portfolio, as discussed during the FB Financial merger announcement, but have experienced slower execution in recent weeks due to market dislocation as a result of the impact of COVID-19. We plan to re-accelerate these reduction activities as soon as possible.”

Black continued, “Our team continues to work closely with our counterparts at FirstBank and have made substantial progress in developing our plans to integrate our two very talented organizations in the coming months. Together with our partners at FirstBank, as one team with so many similarities, we are excited to continue to drive shareholder value as we focus on bringing the best products and services to our customers.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (NIM)

Net interest income decreased to $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $28.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, and remained steady compared to the first quarter of 2019. The decline in net interest income during the quarter was driven primarily by excess liquidity that the Company carried as a result of various balance sheet rotation activities.

NIM (tax-equivalent basis) was 3.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a 10 basis point decrease quarter-over-quarter, and a 22 basis point increase year-over-year, which was primarily driven by the 2019 balance sheet rotation and optimization strategies that have focused on the reduction in non-core assets and liabilities.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Total noninterest income was $5.9 million and $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively. After non-core adjustments, core noninterest income was $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 29.9% annualized from the fourth quarter of 2019, and an increase of 40.9% on a year-over-year basis.

Total noninterest expense was $22.4 million and $21.3 million during the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively. When adjusted for merger-related expenses of $1.7 million during the first quarter of 2020, core noninterest expense was essentially held flat at $20.8 million compared to $20.7 million after an adjustment of $0.6 million for employee-related payroll adjustment during the fourth quarter of 2019, but represents a 12.4% year-over-year increase when compared to the first quarter of 2019 core noninterest expense of $18.5 million.

(1) Net charge-offs include approximately $2.9 million of demand deposit account (DDA) charge-offs for 1Q20.

In accordance with the CARES Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020, the Company deferred implementation of CECL and thus elected to continue to utilize the incurred loss model (ILM) to calculate loan loss reserves. The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) was $38.4 million representing 1.34% of total loans HFI at March 31, 2020 compared to $45.4 million (1.62% of loans HFI) at December 31, 2019 and $27.9 million (0.99% of total loans HFI) at March 31, 2019. When combined with the $19.0 million loan loss provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019, and netted against $20.1 million in net charge-offs in the first quarter, the $13.0 million loan loss provision recorded for the first quarter resulted in a net ALLL build of approximately $11.9 million, or an increase of approximately 45% since the third quarter of 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s total nonperforming assets (NPAs) were 0.72% of total assets, or $27.4 million, which represents a decrease of $(0.3) million from December 31, 2019. The ALLL/NPAs coverage ratio was 1.40 at March 31, 2020, compared with the 1.64 coverage present at December 31, 2019. Criticized and classified assets were $53.1 million at March 31, 2020, representing 1.86% of loans HFI, unchanged from 1.86% of loans HFI at December 31, 2019.

Management determined the need to record an additional loan loss provision of $6.6 million to provide specific reserves for one banking relationship, which was on nonaccrual status and was included in a portion of our classified assets, in our Healthcare and Corporate loan portfolios, as of December 31, 2019. Our determination to record this additional provision was primarily the result of certain developments and circumstances regarding the collectability of this relationship that arose during the first quarter of 2020 following the filing of our Form 10-K on March 16, 2020, and these developments were amplified by various macroeconomic factors. The balance of this banking relationship was fully charged-off as of March 31, 2020.

The Company reported no bank-owned real estate (OREO) at March 31, 2020.

Given the on-going and uncertain impact to the economy of the current COVID- 19 pandemic, the Company continues to monitor its portfolio as the potential exists for adverse events to impact credit quality trends.

Capital

Tangible common equity to tangible assets was 10.3% at March 31, 2020, compared with 10.1% and 8.6% at December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Company's tangible book value per share was $26.26 at March 31, 2020, compared to $25.00 at March 31, 2019, a 5.0% year-over-year increase.

Summary

Jones concluded, “I am proud and humbled to work with such a fine group of selfless professionals, as has been consistently demonstrated during the past year. We look forward to the conclusion of the current chapter of this wonderful franchise, with our sights set on the exciting future that lies before us with our new partners at FirstBank. We firmly believe that we will be better together with our focus continuing to be concentrated on our customers and our abilities being stronger than ever to meet their needs.”

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 16, 2020 with the SEC, as well as the section below entitled "Statement Regarding the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic." If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict their occurrence or how they will affect the Company.

Statement Regarding the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company prioritizes the health and safety of its employees and customers, and it will continue to do so throughout the duration of the pandemic. At the same time, the Company remains focused on improving shareholder value, managing credit exposure, challenging expenses, enhancing the customer experience and supporting the communities it serves. Lastly, the Company is actively participating in the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program in an effort to continue to serve its customers and the communities.

Through this earnings release, the Company has sought to describe the historical and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, including the discussions of our loan loss provision and allowance for loan and lease losses. Although the Company believes that the statements that pertain to future events, results and trends and their impact on the Company's business are reasonable at the present time, those statements are not historical facts and are based upon current assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections, many of which, by their nature, are beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, all discussions regarding future events, results and trends and their impact on the Company's business, even in the near term, are necessarily uncertain given the fluid and evolving nature of the pandemic.

If the health, logistical or economic effects of the pandemic worsen, or if the assumptions, expectations, estimates or projections that underlie the Company's statements regarding future effects or trends prove to be incorrect, then the Company's operations may be materially and adversely impacted in ways that the Company cannot reasonably forecast.

Therefore, when reading this earnings release, undue reliance should not be placed upon any statement pertaining to future events, results and trends and their impact on the Company's business in future periods.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS AND INVESTORS

In connection with the proposed merger, FB Financial Corporation filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC on March 27, 2020. The registration statement contained the joint proxy statement of the Company and FB Financial Corporation to be sent to the Company’s and FB Financial Corporation’s shareholders seeking their approvals in connection with the merger and the issuance of FB Financial Corporation common stock in the merger. The registration statement also contained the prospectus of FB Financial Corporation to register the shares of FB Financial Corporation common stock to be issued in connection with the merger. A definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus will also be provided to the Company’s and FB Financial Corporation’s shareholders as required by applicable law. Investors and shareholders are encouraged to read the registration statement, including the joint proxy statement/prospectus that is part of the registration statement, as well as any other relevant documents filed by the Company and FB Financial Corporation with the SEC, including any amendments or supplements to the registration statement and other documents filed with the SEC, because they will contain important information about the proposed merger, the Company and FB Financial Corporation. The registration statement and other documents filed with the SEC may be obtained for free on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will also be made available for free by contacting the Company's Investor Relations at [phone] or [e-mail], or by contacting FB Financial Corporation Investor Relations at [phone] or [e-mail]. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell, the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or the solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION

The Company, FB Financial Corporation, and certain of their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s and FB Financial Corporation’s shareholders in connection with the proposed merger under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of the Company may be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC by the Company on March 16, 2020, and other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of FB Financial Corporation may be found in the definitive proxy statement for FB Financial Corporation’s 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, filed with the SEC by FB Financial Corporation on March 17, 2020, and other documents subsequently filed by FB Financial Corporation with the SEC. Other information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus when it becomes available. Free copies of these documents may be obtained as described in the paragraph above.

GAAP RECONCILIATION AND USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Some of the financial data included in this earnings release and our selected historical consolidated financial information are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance:

• "Common equity" is defined as total shareholders' equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock;
• "Tangible common equity" is common equity less goodwill and other intangible assets;
• "Total tangible assets" is defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets;
• "Other intangible assets" is defined as the sum of core deposit intangible assets and SBA servicing rights;
• "Tangible book value per share" is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets;
• "Tangible common equity ratio" is defined as the ratio of tangible common equity divided by total tangible assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period-to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets;
• "Core Return on Average Tangible Common Equity" is defined as annualized core net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity;
• "Core Efficiency Ratio" is defined as noninterest expense divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income with all adjusted to certain one-time expenses;
• "Core Diluted Earnings Per Share" is defined as reported earnings per share adjusted for certain one-time expenses;
• "Core NonInterest Income" is defined as noninterest income adjusted for certain one-time items;
• "Core NonInterest Expense" is defined as noninterest expense adjusted for certain one-time items;
• "Core Compensation Expense" is defined as compensation expense adjusted for certain one-time items;
• "Core Net Income" is defined as "Net Income Available to Common Shareholders" adjusted for certain one-time items;
• "Pre-tax core net income" is defined as pre-tax net income adjusted for certain one-time noninterest income and noninterest expense items; and
• "Pre-tax pre-provision core profit" is defined as pre-tax core net income and provision for loan losses.

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 our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of 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 use.
