FB Financial reports Q1 adjusted EPS 76c, consensus 72c

Reports Q1 revenue $127.24M, consensus $131.44M. President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher T. Holmes stated, "For the past three quarters we have been preparing the Company and our balance sheet for potential challenges brought on by the forces of increasing interest rates, slower economic growth, a stubbornly high rate of inflation and shrinking liquidity. We began using a mantra of liquidity, credit and capital in the first half of 2022 and that has resulted in the Company being well positioned for the current banking environment. Our liquidity position, credit quality metrics and capital ratios all improved during the quarter. In a time of uncertainty in the banking industry, we were proud to grow our deposit base this quarter and believe that speaks to the strong relationships that we have with our customers. As we look forward to the remainder of the year, we are focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet so we can continue serving our customers through the current economic cycle."
