Simmons First National reports Q3 adjusted EPS 46c, consensus 47c

George Makris, Jr., Simmons’ Chairman and CEO, commented on third quarter 2025 results: The third quarter was transformative for Simmons. With overwhelming investor support we successfully raised $327 million of equity capital to reposition our balance sheet and unlock our future earnings stream. We effectively addressed a negative arbitrage between long-term bond yields and shorter-term funding costs which freed up capital for future growth. While the one-time loss on the sale of the bonds was significant, the financial strength of our company coupled with the positive sentiment from investors allowed us that opportunity. Although the benefit of the repositioning was only partially realized in the quarter based on the timing of the transactions, our results demonstrated the exceptional improvement in our profitability, and the results from the month of September are very encouraging for our future performance. I believe we are now well positioned to deliver stronger organic growth throughout our franchise which includes some of the most dynamic markets in the country. Our team is prepared, and I am optimistic about Simmons’ future.”
