Key Points
- Cadence Bank (CADE) reported GAAP net income of $135.1 million, or $0.73 per diluted common share, with adjusted net income from continuing operations of $127.9 million or $0.69 per diluted common share, representing an 11% increase compared to the first quarter of 2024.
- Net loan growth of $430 million, or just over 5% annualized, was achieved, aligning with full-year expectations.

- Net interest margin improved for the third consecutive quarter to 3.27%, up 5 basis points from the first quarter.
- Credit quality remained stable, with provisions for credit losses and net charge-offs relatively flat compared to the first quarter, and improvements in non-performing, criticized, and classified loan totals.
- Total deposits declined by just over $260 million, driven by a reduction in public funds and brokered deposits.
- Adjusted expenses are expected to be higher in the latter half of the year due to annual merit increases and other factors.
- The FDIC deposit insurance special assessment of $6.3 million impacted the quarter's results.
- The sale of Cadence Business Solutions resulted in a one-time gain of $15 million, which will not have a significant ongoing impact.
