Summary
Truist Financial Corp (TFC), formerly BB&T Corporation, reported its first quarter 2015 results, showing a slight decrease in net income available to common shareholders to $488 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $496 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014. Total revenues saw a modest increase to $2.3 billion, driven by a $70 million rise in noninterest income, largely from mortgage banking and insurance services, which offset a $36 million decrease in taxable-equivalent net interest income. The company experienced a slight decline in net interest margin to 3.33% from 3.52% year-over-year, attributed to lower earning asset yields and the runoff of higher-yielding FDIC-acquired loans, despite improved funding costs. Noninterest expense rose by $37 million, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs and other expenses. Asset quality showed continued improvement, with nonperforming assets decreasing and net charge-offs declining. Truist Financial Corp also announced its capital plan was accepted by the Federal Reserve, including a proposed dividend increase to $0.27 per share and authorization for share buybacks up to $820 million. The company completed an acquisition of 41 bank branches in Texas, adding significant deposits and other assets.
