Key Financial Trends

Southern First Bancshares (NASDAQ: SFST) has shown a strong financial performance over the last four years, highlighted by consistent growth in net interest income and steady improvement in profitability metrics.

Positive Trends:

  • Net Interest Income rose from approximately $24.1 million in Q4 2022 to $22.5 million in Q4 2024, demonstrating stability and resilience despite some quarterly fluctuations.
  • Consolidated Net Income increased steadily over the years, from $5.5 million in Q4 2022 to $5.6 million in Q4 2024, with quarterly net income per share growing from $0.69 to $0.70 (basic EPS), indicating effective profitability improvement.
  • Provision for credit losses improved significantly, moving from a positive charge of $2.3 million in Q4 2022 to a negative provision (credit) of $0.2 million in Q4 2024. This reversal signals better asset quality and lower expected loan losses.
  • The company maintains strong asset quality with consistent levels of allowance for loan and lease losses compared to outstanding loans, suggesting prudent credit risk management.
  • Total equity has gradually increased, reaching approximately $327 million by Q3 2024, which supports a solid capital base for growth and regulatory compliance.

Neutral Observations:

  • Non-interest income remained relatively stable, fluctuating but mostly around 2.3 to 3.5 million dollars quarterly, supported by fees and investment gains.
  • Non-interest expenses fluctuated between $16 million to $18.5 million quarterly but remained well-managed relative to revenues, keeping the efficiency ratio consistent.
  • Investing activities have shown net cash outflows largely due to ongoing purchases of investment securities, reflecting the bank's strategy to manage interest income and liquidity.

Negative Factors:

  • Net cash from operating activities showed volatility, including a notable negative cash flow of approximately -$1.8 million in Q4 2024 compared to significantly positive cash flow in previous quarters, indicating changes in working capital or operating adjustments.
  • Net change in deposits declined sharply in Q4 2024 to -$83 million, a reversal from the prior quarter’s increase, which might reflect competitive pressures on deposit growth or customer outflows.
  • Financing activities showed significant net cash outflows in Q4 2024, largely driven by deposit declines and debt repayments, which could indicate a tighter liquidity environment.

Overall, Southern First Bancshares exhibits solid profitability with stable net interest margins and improving credit quality, supporting sustained earnings growth. Investors should monitor deposit trends and liquidity management closely, as recent quarters show some challenges in those areas that could impact short-term operational cash flow.
