CrossFirst Bankshares Inc. (CFB) Misses Q2 EPS by 21c

CrossFirst Bankshares Inc. (NASDAQ: CFB) reported Q2 EPS of ($0.14), $0.21 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.07.

"Our overall core operating performance remained strong. We achieved our 25th consecutive quarter of operating revenue growth. However, we also made a prudent decision to increase our allowance for loan loss by $21 million as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and volatility in energy prices. We remain focused on working with our customers and helping to provide solutions as the virus continues to take its toll on our local economies," said CrossFirst’s CEO and President Mike Maddox.

In addition, the Company's market value, compared to book value, and adverse trends in economic conditions, caused the Company to record a $7.4 million non-cash impairment charge, fully impairing the goodwill related to a previously acquired branch. Maddox continued, "Overall, this is a one-time impairment charge that has no impact on the long term value of our Company. Even with the challenging economy, our Company results reflect quarter over quarter balance sheet and operating revenue growth, increased efficiency, and stronger year-to-date pre-tax, pre-provision profit despite taking a goodwill impairment charge."
