FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES ANNOUNCES
FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS RESULTS
FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS RESULTS
ABILENE, Texas, April 21, 2011 First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIN) today reported
earnings for the first quarter of 2011 of $16.30 million, up 18.79 percent compared with earnings
of $13.72 million in the same quarter last year. Basic earnings per share were $0.78 for the first
quarter of 2011 compared with $0.66 in the same quarter of 2010.
Net interest income increased 14.3 percent to $37.3 million compared with $32.6 million in 2010,
primarily due to a 14.0 percent increase in interest-earning assets of which $269.2 million of the
increase was internally generated and $158.8 million resulted from the acquisition in November 2010
of The First State Bank in Huntsville, Texas, which now operates under the First Financial Bank
name. The net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, improved slightly in the first
quarter of 2011 to 4.72 percent compared with 4.69 percent in both the same period a year ago and
in the fourth quarter of 2010. The provision for loan losses was $2.13 million in the first
quarter of 2011, compared with $2.01 million in the same quarter last year and $1.99 million the
fourth quarter of 2010. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets
totaled 1.44 percent at March 31, 2011, compared with 1.53 percent at December 31, 2010, and 1.50
percent at March 31, 2010.
Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2011 was $12.84 million compared with $11.11 million in
the same quarter a year earlier. Trust fees increased to $3.04 million in the first quarter of 2011
compared with $2.53 million in the same quarter last year. Real estate mortgage fees increased to
$933,000 in the first quarter of 2011, compared with $560,000 a year ago. Service charges on
deposit accounts decreased to $4.37 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared with $4.86
million for the same quarter a year ago, due primarily to decreased customer use of overdraft
services. ATM and credit card fees increased to $3.08 million from $2.51 million in the first
quarter last year.
Noninterest expense increased in the first quarter of 2011 to $26.16 million from $23.34 million in
the same quarter last year. The increase in noninterest expense included $232,000 in technology
conversion expenses and other expenses related to the Huntsville acquisition. The Companys
efficiency ratio in the first quarter of 2011 was 49.07 percent compared with 50.36 percent in the
same quarter last year.
As of March 31, 2011, consolidated assets for the Company totaled $3.83 billion compared with $3.35
billion a year ago. Loans totaled $1.68 billion at quarter end compared with loans of $1.50
billion a year ago. Total deposits were $3.13 billion as of
March 31, 2011, compared with $2.69 billion a year earlier. Shareholders equity rose to $456.22
million as of March 31, 2011, compared with $423.82 million the prior year.
We are pleased to start the new year with an excellent first-quarter performance, especially given
the continued challenges faced by the economy and the banking industry, said F. Scott Dueser,
Chairman, President and CEO. Even though the economy is showing some signs of improvement, we
continue to take a cautious stance until we experience sustained improvement over a longer period
of time.
