Simmons First National reports Q4 adjusted EPS 39c, consensus 35c

Reports Q4 revenue $208.5M, consensus $208.67M. George Makris, Jr., Simmons’ Chairman and CEO, commented on the quarterly results: “Simmons’ fourth quarter results were encouraging as we head into 2025. Profitability trends improved and should be a good foundation from which to build. While we are cautiously optimistic as we enter the new year, we are also watching several factors that could impact us in 2025: a new administration and how its policies affect domestic growth; inflation and employment levels; the trajectory of short-term interest rates; regulatory changes and their effect on our operating costs and growth; insurance availability and costs for both commercial enterprises and consumers; and population migration’s effects on housing trends geographically. I also want to recognize and thank the following leaders who retired from Simmons at the end of 2024: Bob Fehlman, Steve Massanelli, Steve Wade, Johnny McCaleb, and Pat Neely. These leaders have played a significant role in the growth of Simmons, and they will be missed. At the same time, I am excited about the next generation of leadership and the opportunities we see ahead.”
