IBC Reports Strong Earnings for the Third Quarter of 2024

International Bancshares Corporation (NASDAQ:IBOC), one of the largest independent bank holding companies in Texas, today reported net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2024 of $294.1 million or $4.72 diluted earnings per common share ($4.73 per share basic) compared to $305.4 million or $4.91 diluted earnings per common share ($4.92 per share basic), which represents a decrease of 3.7% in net income and 3.9% in diluted earnings per share over the corresponding period of 2023. Net income for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2024 was $99.8 million or $1.60 diluted earnings per common share ($1.60 per share basic) compared to $103.3 million or $1.66 diluted earnings per common share ($1.66 per share basic), which represents a decrease of 3.6% in diluted earnings per share and a 3.4% decrease in net income over the corresponding period in 2023.

Net income for the first nine months of 2024 continues to be positively impacted by an increase in interest income earned on our investment and loan portfolios driven primarily by both an increase in the size of our investment and loan portfolios and the current rate environment, which remains elevated as a result of Federal Reserve Board actions to raise interest rates in 2022 and 2023. Net interest income has been negatively impacted by an increase in interest expense, primarily driven by increases in rates paid on deposits. We continue to closely monitor and adjust rates paid on deposits to remain competitive to grow and retain deposits. Net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by an increase in non-interest expenses driven by inflation and an increase in our salary and compensation costs in order to attract and retain staff.

“With three quarters of 2024 over, we continue to be pleased with our industry-leading financial results, which we feel will continue to keep us at the top of the rankings against other publicly held banks in America. We will remain focused and vigilant on superior customer service, continued execution of our long-standing practices of balance sheet, asset, liability and liquidity management, strong cost controls and continued identification of opportunities for efficiencies across our system. We will also continue to closely monitor changes in interest rates and make decisions to minimize the impact of those rate changes. We believe that with continued focus on these long-standing practices supported by new initiatives, IBC will continue to deliver industry-leading financial results,” said Dennis E. Nixon, president and CEO.
