Denver, Colorado – January 27, 2025 – FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun”) (NASDAQ: FSUN) reported net income of $16.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $24.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $24.3 million or $0.86 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Neal Arnold, FirstSun’s Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “We are very pleased to deliver another strong quarter with positive operating leverage driving core earnings growth. Our performance highlights this quarter include a continued strong net interest margin at 4.11% and deposit growth, complemented by our diversified business mix with noninterest income to total revenue at 21.9%. Our consistent focus on our C&I, consumer and service fee businesses has enabled us to deliver strong earnings again this year. Further, our strong performance was recognized earlier this month by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC as they affirmed our debt ratings, as well as the debt and deposit ratings for our subsidiary, Sunflower Bank, N.A.
“Also, we have recently taken a few branching related actions as part of our recurring evaluation of all our markets. We are pleased to announce that late in the fourth quarter of 2024, our regulator approved our planned relocation of a branch located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Additionally, earlier in January 2025, we submitted applications with our regulator to establish two new depository branches, one in each of our San Diego and Los Angeles, CA expansion markets. We expect to add to our investment in these large and diverse growth markets. Finally, I want to thank all of our hard working employees for their continued service to all of our customers and their commitment to excellence.”
Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

Net income totaled $16.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $22.4 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the prior quarter. Net income, for the fourth quarter of 2024, was negatively impacted by $5.8 million, net of tax, of terminated merger costs or $0.21 per diluted share, $1.5 million, net of tax, of costs to dispose of a majority of our ATMs and amend our associated service contract as we move to participating in a national ATM network, or $0.05 per diluted share, and a $0.6 million, net of tax, write-off of the Guardian Mortgage trade name as we consolidate our brand names or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $1.2 million, net of tax, in terminated merger costs or $0.05 per diluted share, for the prior quarter.

The return on average total assets was 0.81% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 1.13% for the prior quarter, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 6.25% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 8.79% for the prior quarter.

1 Total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income.






Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $77.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.9 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin increased one basis point to 4.11% compared to the prior quarter. Results for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter, were primarily driven by a decrease of 30 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, largely offset by a decrease of 20 basis points in the yield on earning assets.
Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $21.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield decreased by 16 basis points to 6.55% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the declining interest rate environment and its impact on variable rate loans in the portfolio. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $35.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 29 basis points to 2.87% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in average certificates of deposit balances. Average FHLB borrowings decreased $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. The cost of FHLB borrowings decreased by 56 basis points to 5.05% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter.
Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses totaled $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to the combined impact of certain deteriorating factors influencing macroeconomic forecasts and deterioration on a specific customer relationship in our loan portfolio, partially offset by the release of a specific allowance for credit losses associated with the full pay-off of a previous nonperforming loan.
Net charge-offs (recoveries) for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $(0.5) million resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans of (0.03)%, compared to net charge-offs of $1.4 million, or an annualized ratio of net-charge offs to average loans of 0.09% for the prior quarter.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.38% at December 31, 2024, an increase of nine basis points from the prior quarter. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.92% at December 31, 2024, compared to 0.86% at September 30, 2024.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $21.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.4 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income increased $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in net capitalized servicing values and a change in fair value of our MSR asset, net of hedging activity, partially offset by a decrease in revenue related to net sale gains and fees from mortgage loan originations, including fair value changes in the held-for-sale portfolio and hedging.
Other noninterest income decreased $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue2 was 21.9%, a decrease of 0.5% from the prior quarter.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $73.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $9.0 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in terminated merger related expenses of $6.4 million from the prior quarter. Additional non-recurring expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 include $2.0 million of costs to dispose of a majority of our ATMs and amend our associated service contract as we move to participating in a national ATM network, and a $0.8 million write-off of the Guardian Mortgage trade name as we are in the process of rebranding our residential mortgage business as Sunflower Bank Mortgage Lending. Adjusted noninterest expense, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled $62.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior quarter.

In the fourth quarter, $40.2 million in interest-bearing demand accounts growth and $225.3 million in savings accounts and money market accounts growth were partially offset by a decline of $233.9 million in certificate of deposit accounts.

Treasury management service fees increased $3.1 million in 2024, primarily due to growth in services provided to our business customers, as compared to 2023. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue5 totaled 23.2% in 2024, compared to 21.2% in 2023.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $264.0 million in 2024, an increase of $41.2 million from 2023, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $21.8 million as a result of increased head count of C&I bankers and higher levels of variable compensation associated with an increase in mortgage loan originations.
Noninterest expense in 2024 included terminated merger related expenses of $13.2 million. Additional non-recurring expenses include $2.0 million of costs to dispose of a majority of our ATMs and amend our associated service contract as we move to participating in a national ATM network, and a $0.8 million write-off of the Guardian Mortgage trade name as we are in the process of rebranding our residential mortgage business as Sunflower Bank Mortgage Lending.

FirstSun management believes investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Forward-looking statements expressing management’s current expectations, forecasts of future events or long-term goals may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management, and are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should”, “assumes”, “assumptions”, “beta”, and “outlook” or other similar expressions. In this presentation, forward-looking statements include our plans for additional branches in Southern California, our outlook for 2025 and the assumptions underlying our 2025 outlook. All statements in this presentation speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement. A number of factors, many of which are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation: changes in interest rates (including anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts that might not occur); failure to maintain our mortgage production flow to secondary markets; the inability of our infrastructure initiatives to reduce expenses; the inability to identify, close and successfully integrate attractive acquisition targets; the impact of inflation; increased deposit volatility; potential regulatory developments; and other general competitive, economic, business, market and political conditions. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning additional factors that could materially affect the forward-looking statements in this presentation can be found in the cautionary language included under the headings “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include certain operating performance measures that exclude merger-related and other charges that are not considered part of the Company’s recurring operations, such as “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted ROAA”, “Adjusted ROATCE”, “Adjusted Diluted EPS”, “Adjusted PTPP ROAA” and “Adjusted Efficiency Ratio “. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for evaluating FirstSun’s performance trends. Further, the Company’s management uses these measures in managing and evaluating the Company’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions about FirstSun’s operations and performance. These measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to substitute for measures that are determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from the similar measures presented by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the Appendix to this presentation.
