The earnings call presented a mixed view with strong financial results, solid deposit growth, and successful share repurchases as positives. However, challenges such as a decline in the loan portfolio, increased net charge-offs, and higher noninterest expense presented significant headwinds.
Company Guidance
During the First Citizens BancShares Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided detailed guidance on various financial metrics. Adjusted earnings per share were reported at $45.87, with a net interest margin (NIM) of 3.53% and an ex-accretion NIM of 3.33%. The return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA), adjusted for notable items, stood at 11.94% and 1.22% respectively. The adjusted pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) ROA was 1.88%, and the efficiency ratio was reported at 54%. Looking forward, the company anticipates loan growth to be in the range of $138 billion to $140 billion, representing mid-single-digit growth for the year. Deposits are expected to end the year between $150 billion and $153 billion. The guidance also included a fourth-quarter outlook for headline net interest income to decline by low to mid-single digits due to factors like lower accretion income and declining deposit costs. Additionally, the company highlighted its share repurchase program, having repurchased over 350,000 shares for approximately $700 million, which was part of a broader $3.5 billion plan.
