Denver, Colorado – April 28, 2025 – FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun”) (NASDAQ: FSUN) reported net income of $23.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $12.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. Earnings per diluted share were $0.83 for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.45 for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $14.6 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2024. Net income, for the first quarter of 2024, was negatively impacted by a provision for credit loss on a specific customer in our commercial and industrial (C&I) loan portfolio of $10.6 million, net of tax, or $0.39 per diluted share.

Neal Arnold, FirstSun’s Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We are pleased to deliver another strong quarter as our focus on growing our C&I and consumer relationships across all of our southwestern and western markets continues to yield favorable results. Among the highlights this quarter were a net interest margin of 4.07%, and strong growth in both deposits and loans. We believe our performance amidst this challenging banking environment continues to position us uniquely amongst our peers. While the economic outlook and interest rate environment may remain uncertain, our focus is on what we directly control and executing across all of our diverse businesses to grow our franchise and deliver strong financial results.

“We are also pleased to announce that we have officially opened our new branch locations in San Diego and in Los Angeles. We are excited with our growth in Southern California and we look forward to continuing to grow our clients and business relationships in these large and diverse markets.”

First Quarter 2025 Results

Net income totaled $23.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $16.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the prior quarter. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $24.3 million or $0.86 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024.

The return on average total assets was 1.20% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 0.81% for the prior quarter, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 9.03% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 6.22% for the prior quarter. Fourth quarter of 2024 non-recurring expenses, net of tax, negatively impacted return on average total assets by 0.39% and return on average stockholders’ equity by 3.02%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $74.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $2.6 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin decreased two basis points to 4.07% compared to the prior quarter. Results for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, were primarily driven by a decrease of 13 basis points in the yield on earning assets, largely offset by a decrease of 16 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

1 Total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income.

Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, decreased by $61.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield decreased by 15 basis points to 6.36% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the declining interest rate environment and its impact on variable rate loans in the portfolio. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $65.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 12 basis points to 2.73% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to rate decreases for certificates of deposit and money market deposits. Average FHLB borrowings decreased $92.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. The cost of FHLB borrowings decreased by 42 basis points to 4.60% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 impacted by deterioration on a specific customer relationship and factors related to increasing economic uncertainty, partially offset by impacts from net portfolio upgrades and increasing prepayment experience.

Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2025 were $0.6 million resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.04%, compared to net charge-offs (recoveries) of $(0.5) million, or an annualized ratio of net-charge offs (recoveries) to average loans of (0.03)% for the prior quarter.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.42% at March 31, 2025, an increase of four basis points from the prior quarter. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 1.02% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.92% at December 31, 2024.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $21.7 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.1 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income decreased $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in MSR capitalization and in the change in fair value of our MSR asset, net of hedging activity, partially offset by an improvement in gain on sale margin.

Other noninterest income increased $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in loan syndication and swap service fees. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue2 was 22.6%, an increase of 0.7% from the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $62.7 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $11.0 million from the prior quarter. Adjusted noninterest expense, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled $62.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted noninterest expense, a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased $0.1 million from the prior quarter as the seasonal increase in salary and employee benefits due to payroll taxes was offset by decreases in legal, travel and entertainment, marketing, and collection and appraisal expenses.

The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2025 was 65.19% compared to 74.66% for the prior quarter. The adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the first quarter of 2025 was 65.19% compared to 63.63% for the prior quarter.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 20.6% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 18.9% for the prior quarter.

2 Total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income.

Loans

Loans were $6.5 billion at March 31, 2025 compared to $6.4 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $107.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, or 6.8% on an annualized basis primarily due to an increase of $137.3 million of commercial and industrial loans partially offset by a decrease of $28.3 million in commercial real estate.

Deposits

Deposits were $6.9 billion at March 31, 2025 compared to $6.7 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $202.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, or 12.3% on an annualized basis primarily due to growth of $140.7 million in savings and money market accounts, $33.6 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, and $22.9 million in interest-bearing demand accounts. Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 22.9% of total deposits at March 31, 2025 and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 94.3% at March 31, 2025.

Capital

Capital ratios remain strong and above “well-capitalized” thresholds. As of March 31, 2025, our common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.26%, total risk-based capital ratio was 15.52% and tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.47%. Book value per share was $38.49 at March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.91 from December 31, 2024. Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $34.88 at March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.94 from December 31, 2024.
