Smith, Jr., President, Chairman and CEO of Capital City Bank Group. “Our associates also earned us recognition for the 12th consecutive year as one of the best banks to work for—an achievement that underscores the strength of our organization and the core values we embrace. We remain focused on soundness, profitability, growth, and making strategic investments that add long-term value. Our fortress balance sheet, diversified revenues, and growth markets together position us well for 2025 and beyond.” Discussion of Operating Results Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin Tax-equivalent net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $41.2 million, compared to $40.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, and $39.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. For 2024, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $159.2 million compared to $159.4 million for 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the increase reflected higher investment securities interest due to new investment purchases at higher yields, in addition to lower deposit interest expense, partially offset by lower loan interest due to lower balances. Compared to 2023, the slight decrease reflected an increase in deposit interest expense and a decrease in investment securities interest that was offset by increases in loan interest and overnight funds interest. Our net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 4.17%, an increase of five basis points over the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 10 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2023. For the month of December 2024, our net interest margin was 4.18%. For 2024, our net interest margin was 4.08%, an increase of three basis points over 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the increase reflected higher yield in the investment portfolio driven by new purchases during the quarter, in addition to lower deposit interest expense. The increase over 2023 reflected a combination of earning assets re-pricing at higher interest rates and higher average loan balances, partially offset by a higher cost of deposits. For the fourth quarter of 2024, our cost of funds was 88 basis points, a decrease of five basis points from the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 15 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2023. Our total cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 86 basis points, 92 basis points, and 66 basis points, respectively, for the same periods. Provision for Credit Losses We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the provision expense reflected a $0.8 million decrease in the provision for loans held for investment (“HFI”) and a $0.3 million decrease in the provision benefit for unfunded loan commitments. The decrease in the provision for loans HFI was primarily due to lower loan balances and slightly lower loss rates. For 2024, we recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $4.0 million compared to $9.7 million for 2023. The decrease reflected a $4.5 million decrease in the provision for loans HFI and a $1.2 million decrease in the provision for unfunded loan commitments. The decrease in the provision for loans HFI was primarily due to lower new loan volume and loan balances in 2024 and favorable loan grade migration. The decrease in the provision for unfunded loan commitments reflected a lower level of loan commitments. We discuss the allowance for credit losses further below. Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $18.8 million compared to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the $0.7 million decrease from the third quarter of 2024 reflected a $0.8 million decrease in mortgage banking revenues attributable to lower production volume and a $0.3 million decrease in deposit fees that was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in wealth management fees, primarily from retail brokerage. The $1.6 million increase over the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven by higher mortgage banking revenues of $0.8 million driven by a higher gain on sale margin and wealth management fees of $0.9 million, primarily from retail brokerage and to a lesser extent trust. For 2024, noninterest income totaled $76.0 million compared to $71.6 million for 2023, primarily attributable to a $3.9 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $2.8 million increase in wealth management fees, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in other income. The increase in mortgage banking revenues was due to a higher gain on sale margin. The increase in wealth management fees was primarily driven by higher retail brokerage fees and to a lesser extent trust fees, primarily attributable to both new account growth and higher account values driven by higher market returns. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million gain from the sale of mortgage servicing rights in 2023, and to a lesser extent a decrease in vendor bonus income and miscellaneous income. Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $41.8 million compared to $42.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $40.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The $1.1 million decrease from the third quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to lower other expense of $1.2 million and occupancy expense of $0.2 million that was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in compensation expense. The decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million decrease in other real estate expense driven by the sale of a banking office and lower miscellaneous expense of $0.5 million which reflected a non-routine VISA Class B swap payment in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in occupancy expense reflected lower property tax and software license expense. The increase in compensation was driven by higher incentive plan compensation. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the $1.8 million increase was driven by a $2.3 million increase in compensation expense that was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in occupancy expense and a $0.3 million decrease in other expense. The unfavorable variance in compensation expense reflected a $1.4 million increase in salary expense and a $0.9 million increase in other benefit expense with the salary expense driven by higher incentive compensation and merit adjustments and the associate benefit expense reflective of higher health insurance cost. For 2024, noninterest expense totaled $165.3 million compared to $157.0 million for 2023, primarily attributable to increases in compensation expense of $6.9 million, occupancy expense of $0.3 million, and other expense of $1.1 million. The increase in compensation reflected a $5.4 million increase in salary expense and a $1.6 million increase in other associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to a lower level of realized loan cost (credit offset to salary expense) of $3.1 million (lower new loan volume), higher base salary expense of $2.2 million (primarily annual merit raises), and a $1.2 million increase in cash incentive compensation that was partially offset by lower commission expense of $1.4 million (lower residential mortgage volume). The unfavorable variance in other associate benefit expense was due to a $0.9 million increase in associate insurance cost and a $0.6 million increase in stock compensation expense. The increase in occupancy expense was attributable to increases in software license and maintenance agreement expenses. The increase in other expense was driven by a $1.1 million increase in other real estate expense and a $1.4 million increase in processing expense that was partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in miscellaneous expense. The increase in other real estate expense reflected a lower level of gains from the sale of banking offices in 2024. The increase in processing expense reflected both inflationary increases on contract renewals and the outsourcing of our core processing system. The decrease in miscellaneous expense was attributable to lower pension plan expense for the non-service related component of the plan. Income Taxes We realized income tax expense of $4.2 million (effective rate of 24.3%) for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $3.0 million (effective rate of 19.1%) for the third quarter of 2024 and $2.9 million (effective rate of 20.3%) for the fourth quarter of 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the increase in our effective tax rate was attributable to a lower than projected level of pre-tax income from Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”) in relation to our consolidated income as the non-controlling interest adjustment for CCHL is accounted for as a permanent tax adjustment. Further, we realized a higher than projected Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 162(m) limitation related to current and future compensation. For 2024, we realized income tax expense of $13.9 million (effective rate of 21.2%) compared to $13.0 million (effective rate of 20.4%) for 2023 with the increase in the effective tax rate primarily attributable to a higher IRC Section 162(m) limitation and lower tax-exempt interest income. Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 24% for 2025. Discussion of Financial Condition Earning Assets Average earning assets totaled $3.922 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $38.5 million, or 1.0 %, over the third quarter of 2024, and an increase of $97.9 million, or 2.6%, over the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase over both prior periods was primarily driven by higher deposit balances (see below – Deposits). Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the change in earning asset mix was primarily attributable to a $41.4 million increase in short term investments (overnight funds sold), a $6.7 million increase in investment securities, and $6.5 million increase in loans held for sale, partially offset by a $16.1 million decrease in loans HFI. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the change in earning asset mix reflected a $198.4 million increase in short term investments (overnight funds sold) that was partially offset by a $48.0 million decrease in investment securities, a $33.8 million decrease in loans HFI, and a $18.7 million decrease in loans held for sale. Average loans HFI for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $16.1 million, or 0.6%, from the third quarter of 2024 and decreased $33.8 million, or 1.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the decline was primarily attributable to decreases in consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $18.3 million and commercial mortgage real estate loans of $24.1 million, partially offset by increases in construction real estate loans of $13.1 million, and residential real estate loans of $11.6 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the decrease was driven by decreases in consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $72.8 million, commercial loans of $30.2 million, and commercial mortgage real estate loans of $25.3 million, partially offset by increases in residential real estate loans of $70.8 million, construction real estate loans of $16.6 million, and home equity loans of $10.2 million. Loans HFI at December 31, 2024 decreased $31.5 million, or 1.2%, from September 30, 2024 and decreased $82.4 million, or 3.0%, from December 31, 2023. Compared to September 30, 2024, the decrease was driven by decreases in commercial mortgage real estate loans of $40.9 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $13.8 million, and commercial loans of $5.4 million, partially offset by increases in home equity loans of $9.1 million, other loans of $13.5 million, and residential real estate loans of $5.0 million. Compared to December 31, 2023, the decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $71.5 million, commercial mortgage real estate loans of $46.4 million, and commercial loans of $36.0 million, partially offset by increases in residential real estate loans of $27.2 million, construction real estate loans of $23.9 million, and home equity loans of $9.1 million. Allowance for Credit Losses At December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $29.3 million compared to $29.8 million at September 30, 2024 and $29.9 million at December 31, 2023. Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 9. The decreases in the allowance from September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were primarily attributable to lower loan balances and favorable loan migration. Net loan charge-offs were 25 basis points of average loans for the fourth quarter of 2024 versus 19 basis points for the third quarter of 2024. For 2024, net loan charge-offs were 21 basis points of average loans compared to 18 basis points in 2023. At December 31, 2024, the allowance represented 1.10% of loans HFI compared to 1.11% at September 30, 2024, and 1.10% at December 31, 2023. Credit Quality Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.7 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $7.2 million at September 30, 2024 and $6.2 million at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets equaled 0.15%, compared to 0.17% at September 30, 2024 and 0.15% at December 31, 2023. Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.3 million at December 31, 2024, a $0.3 million decrease from September 30, 2024 and a $0.1 million increase over December 31, 2023. Further, classified loans totaled $19.9 million at December 31, 2024, a $5.6 million decrease from September 30, 2024 and a $2.3 million decrease from December 31, 2023. Deposits Average total deposits were $3.600 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $28.4 million, or 0.8%, over the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of $51.9 million, or 1.5%, over the fourth quarter of 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily attributable to higher NOW account balances which reflected the seasonal inflow of public funds from municipal clients as they receive their tax receipts beginning in late November. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected higher NOW, MMA, and certificates of deposit (“CD”) balances that were partially offset by decreases in noninterest bearing and savings balances. During 2024, we realized a re-mix in deposits as rate sensitive clients sought higher yield deposit products. Average core deposit balances (total deposits less public funds) increased $20.3 million over the third quarter of 2024 and $28.4 million over the fourth quarter of 2023. At December 31, 2024, total deposits were $3.672 billion, an increase of $92.9 million, or 2.6%, over September 30, 2024 and a decrease of $29.8 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily due to a $110.7 million increase in NOW account balances which reflected the aforementioned seasonal inflow of public funds balances. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven by lower noninterest bearing, NOW, and savings account balances that were partially offset by higher MMA and CD balances which reflected the aforementioned re-mix in balances during 2024. Core deposit balances (total deposits less public funds) decreased $50.3 million from the third quarter of 2024 and increased $21.9 million over the fourth quarter of 2023. Liquidity The Bank maintained an average net overnight funds (deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold position of $298.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $256.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $99.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Compared to both prior periods, the increases reflected growth in average core and public fund deposit balances. At December 31, 2024, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.535 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $321 million) in additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits. We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source and have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for borrowings or deposits, and/or to sell selected securities. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. At December 31, 2024, the weighted-average maturity and duration of our portfolio were 2.54 years and 2.19 years, respectively, and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized after-tax loss of $19.2 million. Capital Shareowners’ equity was $495.3 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $476.5 million at September 30, 2024 and $440.6 million at December 31, 2023. For the fourth quarter of 2024, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to common shareowners of $13.1 million, a net $7.6 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, the issuance of stock of $0.9 million, stock compensation accretion of $0.7 million, and a $0.4 million reclassification from temporary equity (concurrent with the agreement to assign the minority membership interest (49%) in Capital City Home Loans, LLC, temporary equity was reclassified to other liabilities and included a $0.4 million net credit to retained earnings to account for the difference between the fair value and the book value of the minority interest). The net favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a $10.1 million decrease in the pension plan loss from the year-end re-measurement of the plan and a $0.7 million increase in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt, that was partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in the investment securities loss. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $3.9 million ($0.23 per share). For the full year 2024, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to common shareowners of $52.9 million, a net $15.7 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, the issuance of stock of $3.1 million, and stock compensation accretion of $1.9 million. The net favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a $10.1 million decrease in the pension plan loss from the year-end re-measurement of the plan and a $5.6 million decrease in the investment securities loss. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $14.9 million ($0.88 per share), the repurchase of stock of $2.3 million (82,540 shares), net adjustments totaling $1.4 million related to transactions under our stock compensation plans, and a $0.3 million reclassification from temporary equity. At December 31, 2024, our total risk-based capital ratio was 18.77% compared to 17.97% at September 30, 2024 and 16.57% at December 31, 2023. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 15.64%, 14.88%, and 13.52%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was 11.05%, 10.89%, and 10.30%, respectively, on these dates. At December 31, 2024, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio was 9.55% at December 31, 2024 compared to 9.28% and 8.26% at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. If our unrealized held-to-maturity securities losses of $16.0 million (after-tax) were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 9.17%.
