Pinnacle Financial reports Q2 EPS ex-items $1.79, consensus $1.63

Reports Q2 revenue $489.23M, consensus $414.89M. “This proved to be another sound operating quarter especially given the results of several critical performance metrics such as asset quality, net interest income growth and tangible book value accretion,” said M. Terry Turner, Pinnacle’s president and chief executive officer. “Second quarter results continue to reflect our longstanding and ongoing ability to leverage our award-winning work environment and market-leading net promoter scores to take market share from our large national and regional competitors. The second quarter of 2023 also saw us increase our thrust and focus on gathering client funding, which is the ‘raw material’ that we need to support our outsized loan and earnings growth over time. Consequently, our relationship managers attracted client funding from across our footprint, which resulted in deposit growth of over $1.5 billion this quarter. Loan growth during the second quarter of 2023 was $855 million, or 11.3% linked-quarter annualized. This amount is consistent with the outlook we provided in connection with our first quarter results and is reflective of our deliberate efforts to moderate loan growth by constraining certain asset classes and elevating loan pricing.”
