SmartFinancial Announces Results for the Second Quarter 2026, Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SmartFinancial, Inc. ("SmartFinancial" or the "Company"; NYSE: SMBK), today announced net income of $16.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $11.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025, and compared to prior quarter net income of $13.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share.

Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2026

• Operating earnings¹ of $16.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share
• Net organic loan and lease growth of $165 million representing 15% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase
• Surpassed $6 billion in total assets during the quarter
• Core deposit² growth of $83 million representing 6% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase
• Quarter-over-quarter tangible book value per common share¹ growth of 13% annualized
• Recertified as a Great Place to Work by over 97% of SmartBank Associates

Billy Carroll, President & CEO, stated: “Our second quarter results reflect steady progress in the execution of our strategy. During the quarter, we generated approximately 15% annualized loan growth and expanded our net interest margin to 3.52%, while maintaining excellent asset quality. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.96, an improvement of $0.15 from the first quarter, and tangible book value per common share grew quarter over quarter by 13% annualized. We also generated positive operating leverage as revenue growth outpaced expense growth during the quarter. Pipelines across the Company remain healthy, and we believe the disruption created by ongoing consolidation and operational challenges at certain competitors continues to create meaningful opportunities to deepen relationships and gain market share. While we recognize there is still work to do, our strong momentum gives us confidence in the long-term trajectory of the Company and our ability to continue creating value for shareholders. I want to thank our associates for their hard work and commitment to our clients, which continue to drive our performance and position the Company for future growth.”

SmartFinancial's Chairman, Miller Welborn, concluded: “The momentum we continue to build across SmartBank, reflects the strength of our franchise and the commitment of our associates. Being recertified as a Great Place to Work by more than 97% of our associates is particularly meaningful because it speaks to the culture that has been foundational to our success. The results achieved this quarter reflect the disciplined execution of our associates across the Company and the benefits of the investments we have made in our markets, people, and operating platform. I want to thank our associates for the exceptional work they do every day to serve our clients and create long-term value for our shareholders. As we look ahead, we remain excited about the opportunities and confident in our ability to capitalize on them.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $48.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $45.9 million for the prior quarter. Average earning assets totaled $5.52 billion, an increase of $131.7 million from the prior quarter. The balances of average earning assets increased quarter-over-quarter, primarily from an increase in average loans and leases of $176.3 million and average securities of $9.7 million, offset by a decrease in average federal funds sold and other earning assets of $54.3 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $153.3 million from the prior quarter, primarily attributable to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $115.5 million and borrowings of $37.7 million.

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.52% for the second quarter of 2026, up from 3.48% for the prior quarter. This increase is primarily related to the increase in asset yields, outpacing the increase in liability costs. The yield on loans and leases, excluding loan fees, fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) was 5.95% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 5.93% for the prior quarter.

The cost of total deposits for the second quarter of 2026 was 2.15%, compared to 2.12% in the prior quarter. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.74% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.72% in the prior quarter. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits was 2.62% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.60% for the prior quarter, an increase of 2 basis points.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases and Credit Quality

At June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses was $45.3 million. The allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 0.97% as of June 30, 2026, and March 31, 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, SmartBank updated its ACL loss model by adopting a discounted cash flow methodology, refining key assumptions and qualitative factors, and enhancing its use of macroeconomic drivers. These changes contributed to a higher provision for credit losses during the first quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased slightly, by $55 thousand to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $7.9 million for the prior quarter. The second quarter decrease was primarily attributable to lower capital markets’ income included in other noninterest income, offset by increases in interchange and debit card transaction fees and mortgage banking income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $1.0 million to $34.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $32.9 million for the prior quarter. The second quarter increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, FDIC insurance, data processing and technology and professional services, offset by a decrease in other expense.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared with $3.1 million for the prior quarter. The $1.1 million increase was primarily driven by a higher projected annual effective tax rate resulting from increased forecasted taxable income relative to non-taxable income.

Balance Sheet Trends

Total assets at June 30, 2026, were $6.12 billion compared to $5.86 billion at December 31, 2025. The $254.5 million increase was primarily attributable to increases in loans and leases of $319.4 million, securities of $17.9 million, premises and equipment of $4.9 million, and bank owned life insurance of $1.8 million, offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $85.0 million and loans held for sale of $1.2 million, as well as an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $4.3 million.

Total liabilities were $5.54 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $5.31 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $230.1 million. Total deposits increased $232.8 million, which was driven primarily by increases in money market and savings deposits of $181.2 million, interest-bearing demand deposits of $76.4 million, and time deposits of $116.3 million, offset by a decline in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $141.0 million. In addition, borrowings decreased by $2.4 million and other liabilities decreased by $434 thousand.

Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2026, totaled $576.9 million, an increase of $24.4 million, from December 31, 2025. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily driven by net income of $30.0 million for the six months ending June 30, 2026, offset by an increase of $3.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss and dividends paid of $2.9 million. Tangible book value per common share² was $28.22 at June 30, 2026, compared to $26.85 at December 31, 2025. Tangible common equity¹ as a percentage of tangible assets¹ was 8.01% at June 30, 2026, compared with 7.93% at December 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Statements included in this earnings release include measures not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered Non-GAAP financial measures (“Non-GAAP”) and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. SmartFinancial management uses several Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios derived therefrom in its analysis of the Company's performance, including:

^(1)	Operating earnings	^(11)	Operating return on average assets
^(2)	Operating revenue	^(12)	Operating PPNR return on average assets
^(3)	Operating noninterest income	^(13)	Operating return on average shareholders’ equity
^(4)	Operating noninterest expense	^(14)	Return on average tangible common equity
^(5)	Operating pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) earnings	^(15)	Operating return on average tangible common equity
^(6)	Tangible common equity	^(16)	Operating noninterest income/average assets
^(7)	Average tangible common equity	^(17)	Operating noninterest expense/average assets
^(8)	Tangible book value per common share	^(18)	Tangible common equity to tangible assets
^(9)	Tangible assets	^(19)	Operating earnings per common share
^(10)	Operating efficiency ratio

A detailed reconciliation and definition of these items and the ratios derived therefrom is available in the Non-GAAP reconciliations.

Management believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows investors to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Management also believes these Non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results and allow investors and Company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider SmartFinancial's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
