A Stock Split and Funding Costs Behind the Quarter

The two-for-one stock split increased the number of shares outstanding, so per-share figures reported before August 21, including earnings per share of $1.57 and book value per share of $36.19, are on a pre-split basis. The company's 10-Q is the controlling source for GAAP net income, loans and deposits.

Management emphasized relationship-based commercial banking, treasury management and expense control. Lower deposit funding costs and a 3.63% net interest margin accompanied loan growth during the quarter.

Outlook

ServisFirst reports loan growth, deposit growth and the net interest margin each quarter, and the margin was 3.63% in the second quarter. Per-share figures the company reported before the August 21 split are on a pre-split basis.
