UMB Financial reports Q4 EPS $2.29, consensus $1.76

Reports Q4 revenue $370.8M, consensus $360.7M. “We closed 2023 with strong fourth quarter performance, demonstrating the power and resilience of our diversified business model. Results were accentuated by continued loan and deposit growth, expanding net interest margin and net interest income, solid fee income growth and exceptional asset quality,” said Mariner Kemper, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our strong business performance and financial results were unfortunately muted by our share of the FDIC special assessment levied on banks to recoup the losses related to two of the bank failures in March 2023. I am incredibly proud of our associates who drove this performance, and deeply grateful for our loyal client base that grew with us through the much-exaggerated industry noise following the bank failures. While this was a challenging time for the industry, it was extremely rewarding to see how our company and customers came together to support each other, and the resulting positive growth and performance.”
