CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2017 Results


NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (“CapStar”) (NASDAQ:CSTR) reported net income of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share on a fully diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.15 per share on a fully diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Fully diluted earnings per share were impacted by $0.18 per share during the first quarter due to credit related issues. 

“While we are disappointed with the increase in nonperforming loans and net charge-offs during the first quarter, we are pleased with another strong quarter of loan and core deposit growth,” said Claire W Tucker, President and Chief Executive Officer of CapStar. “The changes in these credit metrics are a result of two borrowers that have been on our radar screen and classified for some time, “said Tucker. “We continue to believe the credit infrastructure and risk management systems we have in place will satisfactorily support our operations and will allow us to achieve our goal of delivering sound, profitable growth for our shareholders. We remain confident that overall asset quality remains solid, growth continues at a robust pace, and we are committed to delivering the profitability that will help us achieve our goal of 1.0% ROAA by the end of 2018.”

  • Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 0.38% for the same period in 2016.

“Although our margin was impacted by the increase in nonaccrual loans, our profitability roadmap is dependent on expanding existing and acquiring new relationships, which drives our loan and core deposit growth,” said Rob Anderson, chief financial officer and chief administrative officer of CapStar.  “While we typically lead with a loan opportunity, we continue to achieve success in obtaining the operating accounts and providing treasury management services to our commercial clients, as we focus on becoming their primary bank.”
