Bank of the Ozarks Announces Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Earnings

Bank of the Ozarks (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ:OZRK) today announced that net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 was a record $146.2 million, a 66.5% increase from $87.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. Diluted earnings per common share for the fourth quarter of 2017 were a record $1.14, a 58.3% increase from $0.72 for the fourth quarter of 2016.

For the full year of 2017, net income was a record $421.9 million, a 56.3% increase from net income of $270.0 million for the full year of 2016. Diluted earnings per common share for the full year of 2017 were a record $3.35, a 29.8% increase from $2.58 for the full year of 2016.

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted into law on December 22, 2017, the Bank revalued its net deferred tax liability position to reflect the reduction in its federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. This revaluation resulted in a one-time income tax benefit of approximately $49.8 million, or $0.39 of diluted earnings per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Bank’s annualized returns on average assets, average common stockholders’ equity and average tangible common stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of 2017 were 2.81%, 17.23% and 21.84%, respectively, compared to 1.92%, 12.62% and 17.08%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2016. The Bank’s returns on average assets, average common stockholders’ equity and average tangible common stockholders’ equity for the full year of 2017 were 2.15%, 13.49% and 17.49%, respectively, compared to 1.89%, 13.05% and 16.25%, respectively, for the full year of 2016. The calculation of the Bank’s return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity and the reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are included in the schedules accompanying this release.

George Gleason, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report our excellent results for 2017, including annual records for net income, diluted earnings per share and net interest income, excellent asset quality and continued strong growth in both the funded and unfunded balance of our non-purchased loans.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Bank uses these non-GAAP financial measures, specifically return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share, total tangible common stockholders’ equity and the ratio of total tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets, as important measures of the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on its tangible capital invested by its shareholders. These measures typically adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets. Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information which contributes to a proper understanding of the financial results and capital levels of the Bank. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release under the caption “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
