FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Bank7 Corp. Announces Q4 2024 and Full Year Earnings

Oklahoma City, January 16, 2025 – Bank7 Corp. (NASDAQ: BSVN) ("the Company"), the parent company of Oklahoma City-based Bank7 (the "Bank"), today reported unaudited results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.  “We are pleased to announce record annual results for 2024, as we reached new milestones in net income, PPE, and earnings per share.  Our properly matched balance sheet, disciplined cost controls, and excellent credit quality continues to produce outstanding performance,” said Thomas L. Travis, President and CEO of the Company.

For the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023:


-
Net income of $45.7 million compared to $28.3 million, an increase of 61.62%

-
Earnings per share of $4.84 compared to $3.05, an increase of 58.69%

-
Total assets of $1.7 billion compared to $1.8 billion, a decrease of 1.80%

-
Total loans of $1.4 billion compared to $1.4 billion, an increase of 2.69%

-
PPE of $60.4 million compared to $58.4 million, an increase of 3.38%

-
Total interest income of $131.5 million compared to $121.5 million, an increase of 8.22%

Both the Bank’s and the Company’s capital levels continue to be significantly above the minimum levels required to be designated as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes.  On December 31, 2024, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.18%, 13.99%, and 15.22%, respectively.  On December 31, 2024, on a consolidated basis, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.19%, 13.98%, and 15.21%, respectively.  Designation as a well-capitalized institution under regulations does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by bank regulators.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This earnings release contains the non-GAAP financial measure pre-provision pre-tax earnings (“PPE”).  The Company’s management uses this non-GAAP measure in their analysis of the Company’s performance.  This measure adjusts GAAP performance to exclude from net income, income tax expense, provision for credit losses, and loss on sales and calls of available-for-sale debt securities.
