South State Corp. (NASDAQ: SSB) reported Q1 EPS of $2.17, $0.72 better than the analyst estimate of $1.45.
"We are pleased to begin 2021 with solid results in the first quarter", said John C. Corbett, Chief Executive Officer. "Our longstanding focus on asset quality has benefited us through this environment, with four consecutive quarters with minimal to no net loan losses. The improvement in the economy and in economic forecasts led us to release loss reserves in the quarter, aiding our net income, though we continue to have a solid reserve position should the economic recovery falter. We are also pleased to have expanded our Correspondent division with the February 1 addition of the Duncan Williams team to the company."
"South State's balance sheet is strong and continues to strengthen with annualized total deposit growth of 23% for the quarter and Tangible Book Value growth of 10.5% compared to last year," said Robert R. Hill, Jr., Executive Chairman. "This foundation, coupled with strong fee businesses, has us well-positioned for the future."
