Oakworth Capital Inc. Reports 45% Increase in Core Diluted EPS in 2022

Poised for Continued Growth in 2023 and Beyond

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Oakworth Capital Inc. (Oakworth) (OTCQX: OAKC) reported accelerating growth in net income and revenue (adjusted for significant items in prior and current years1) in fiscal year 2022.

Oakworth’s Chairman and CEO Scott Reed commented, “We began 2022 with an intentional focus on positioning ourselves to export our unique business model in dynamic markets in the Southeast. Our team has done just that with a 47% increase in core1 earnings and a 34% increase in core1 revenue while maintaining exceptionally high client and associate satisfaction.”

Oakworth measures client satisfaction via its Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 962 and associate satisfaction via associate retention rate of 96%2.

Net income for full year 2022 was $11.5 million with total revenue of $51.8 million.  Earnings per share were $2.36 on an adjusted, diluted basis, up from $1.62 per share on the same basis in the prior year. The driver of revenue growth during 2022 was a 27% increase in net interest income (43% when excluding 2021 PPP fees) and a 10% increase in wealth management fees, which was affected by market impact on asset valuations.

“We are pleased that the source of our net interest income growth is not only a widening margin, but also significant growth in our loan portfolio, particularly in our recently added Middle Tennessee market,” continued Reed. “We look forward to continued growth across our franchise including in the Central Carolinas when our Charlotte-based office opens later this year3.”

Oakworth’s history of pristine credit quality continued with $0 charge-offs, $0 non-performing assets and $0 90-day past due loans as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Wealth assets ended the year at $1.8 billion and deposits were 7.5% higher than the prior year in spite of industry trends.

Oakworth’s capital position remains strong. At December 31, 2022, Tier 1 Capital was 10.8%, the Total Capital Ratio was 11.8% and the Leverage Ratio was 9.7%.
