    MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo., April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Bancshares, Inc. (OTCPink - FstBksh: FBSI) (“Company”), the holding company for Stockmens Bank (“Bank”), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

    For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company reported net income, of $1,234,000 or $0.47 per share-diluted, compared to $837,000, or $0.32 per share-diluted for the comparable period in 2020. The $397,000 increase in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was attributable to a $317,000 increase in net interest income after provisions for loan losses, offset by a $16,000 increase in non-interest expense, a $120,000 gain on sales of investments, along with a modest $19,000 increase in non-interest income, and a $43,000 increase in income tax expense.

    Consolidated total assets at March 31, 2021 were $418.26 million, compared to $406.27 million at December 31, 2020. Since year end 2020, Net loans increased 7.03% to $311.98 million, total deposits increased 3.97% to $370.61 million, and total capital rested at $42.76 million, or 10.22% of total assets compared to $42.77 million, or 10.53% of total assets, at December 31, 2020.

    Management continues to expect strain in the interest rate environment and significantly enhanced market volatility to create future pressure on the Bank’s net interest margin and interest earnings capacity. As such, Management has taken proactive steps to redeploy liquidity reserves at maximum yield without accepting additional risk and employing interest rate risk strategies to protect future margins. Management continues to be conservative with non-interest expenses and produced another quarter of positive earnings in light of implementing plans to protect future performance.

    The Bank meets all regulatory requirements for “well-capitalized” status and has elected to opt-in to the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework.
