Bank OZK Announces 3rd Quarter 2020 Net Income of $109.3 Million

Highlights

• Excellent Asset Quality. Our ongoing focus on asset quality showed very well in the current environment as demonstrated by our annualized net charge-off ratio for the quarter of 0.09% for both non-purchased loans (loans we originated) and total loans.
• Increasing Net Interest Income. Our net interest income for the quarter was $224.7 million, an increase of $8.1 million from the second quarter of 2020. This was our second consecutive quarter of increased net interest income.
• Strong Deposit Growth. Our commitment to our customers and communities, combined with our reputation for strength, stability and service, allowed us to achieve $564 million of deposit growth during the quarter.
• Increasing Liquidity. Our deposit growth allowed us to continue to increase our already strong on-balance sheet liquidity.
• Robust Capital. Our strong capital position continues to be among the best in the industry. At September 30, 2020, our Leverage Ratio was 13.4%, which is over 2.6 times the regulatory Leverage Ratio required to be considered “well-capitalized.” This positions us well to navigate the current economic environment and to capitalize on future opportunities.
• Excellent Efficiency Ratio. Our efficiency ratio for the quarter was 41.8%, continuing our long track record of being among the best in the industry.
