Performance Analysis
The increase in net income and EPS was primarily driven by the successful merger with Lone Star State Bancshares, Inc. on April 1, 2024. This merger contributed significantly to the growth in loans and deposits. Loans increased by $1.06 billion or 5.0% during the quarter, while deposits grew by $757.6 million or 2.8%.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses rose to $258.8 million, an 8.6% increase from the previous quarter. The net interest margin also improved by 15 basis points to 2.94%, reflecting better loan and deposit rates.
Challenges and Strategic Moves
Despite the positive performance, Prosperity Bancshares faced some challenges, including merger-related expenses and a special assessment by the FDIC. The company incurred $9.1 million in merger-related provisions for credit losses and $4.4 million in merger-related expenses. Additionally, a $3.6 million FDIC special assessment impacted the financials.
"We are optimistic about the future and confident in our ability to create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders," stated David Zalman, Senior Chairman and CEO of Prosperity Bancshares.

As of June 30, 2024, Prosperity Bancshares reported total assets of $39.76 billion, a slight decrease from $39.91 billion a year ago. However, linked quarter total assets increased by $1.01 billion, primarily due to the Lone Star merger.
