Capital City Bank Group reported a net income attributable to common shareowners of $8.5 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. The results reflect loan growth, strong credit quality, rising rates, and effective cost management.
Period-end loan balances grew $54 million, or 2.8% sequentially
Net interest income gained momentum driven by growth in investment portfolio and higher rates
Noninterest income increased by 4.6% sequentially, driven by wealth management fees (insurance commission revenues)
Noninterest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 2.4% sequentially, attributable to lower pension plan expense
The company believes it is well positioned to navigate through the year, despite rapidly escalating inflation, a pivot by the Federal Reserve, and the Russia-Ukraine war.
