Company Reports Q1 Revenue of $103.11M

Reports Q1 revenue $103.11M, consensus $103.09M. Reports Q1 book value per share $37.37. Reports Q1 CET1 capital ratio 11.95%. "We entered 2026 with strong momentum coming off the best year in the Company's history, and our first quarter operating results reflect that," commented James Hillebrand, chairman and CEO. "Loan growth stood out in terms of both volume and credit quality, and that combination of growth and discipline continues to be a core focus for our team. Our Central Kentucky market crossed the $1 billion threshold for total loans this quarter, demonstrating our ability to enter new markets and replicate the full-service, community banking business model that has been the staple of our success. After entering this market through acquisition in 2021, Central Kentucky has continued to contribute to the growth we've experienced not only within the loan portfolio, but across our entire business. Equally noteworthy was the performance across our non-interest income categories. Our WM&T division delivered record revenue during the first quarter, while card income and treasury management fees continue to provide meaningful contributions, further solidifying non-interest income as a significant driver of our results."

Stock Yards Reports $29.50 Tangible Common Equity per Share for 2025

Reports Tangible common equity per share $29.50 on December 31, 2025, compared to $28.30 on September 30, 2025, and $24.82 on December 31, 2024. "2025 was a banner year for Stock Yards, reflecting exceptional performance with record earnings for the fourth quarter and the full year," commented James A. Hillebrand, Chairman and CEO. "We delivered solid loan growth during this quarter, our seventh consecutive quarter of growth across all markets, which demonstrates the strength of our franchise. Loan production exceeded 2024 levels, reflecting that our origination engine is performing exceptionally well and our customer relationships remain strong. While year over year loan growth came in at 8%, marking the first time in 4 years below double digits, this remains well above peer averages and reflects healthy portfolio dynamics as we navigate a normalizing credit environment. The elevated payoff activity we experienced in the second half of the year was driven by a back-log of stabilized construction projects that refinanced with permanent lenders, reflecting expected payoffs from successful projects as opposed to customer attrition. Credit quality remains strong and stable, underpinned by our disciplined underwriting approach and proactive portfolio management. These results reflect our consistent execution and commitment to sustainable growth as we enter 2026."
