Capital City Bank Group, Inc. reported a strong first quarter in 2023, with net income attributable to common shareowners of $15.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. The results were driven by strong growth in net interest income and loan growth, which led to an increase in tangible book value per share.
Net interest income grew by 6% with net interest margin percentage increase of 28 basis points to 4.04%.
Loan growth of $143 million, or 5.9% (average) and $112 million, or 4.4% (end of period) was achieved.
Noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 6.1%, due to higher mortgage banking revenues.
Noninterest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 4.3%, due to no pension settlement expense.
While there remains uncertainty around the possibility of a near-term recession or economic slowing, Capital City Bank Group feels good about their positioning and optimistic about their full-year performance.
