October 19, 2020 7:02 AM

Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNTY) reported Q3 EPS of $1.01, $0.38 better than the analyst estimate of $0.63.

"We are pleased with our third quarter results. We have analyzed our loan portfolio and believe our loans are risk rated appropriately and our allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb potential future loan losses resulting from the pandemic. Temporary payment or interest-only deferrals offered at the onset of the pandemic have declined significantly as borrowers have returned to contractual payment schedules. Requests for additional deferrals have been minimal thus far and have occurred primarily in the hospitality industry. Despite the various business challenges posed as a result of COVID-19, the Texas economy went into the downturn in a very strong positon and the resilience of the Texas economy has been very clear this quarter. Our bank has a solid core earnings foundation, with a sustainable net interest margin, controlled expense structure and growing non-interest income departments. Asset quality remains strong even while our loan loss reserves remain defensive from earlier quarter provisions," commented Ty Abston, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
