It keeps 5.07 cents of net interest income on every dollar of earning assets, higher than about 9 in 10 of the 895 banks with $1 billion to $10 billion in assets (median 3.71 cents). It also pays an average of 0.87% on its deposits and borrowings, about half the median of 2.01% for banks its size.

Its reported earnings move with the stock market: it holds equity securities whose value runs through net income, and they lost $5.2 million on paper in the quarter, out of $399,000 of pre-tax income. Return on assets swings accordingly, so it is not compared with peers here. Loans are outrunning deposits: over the year loans rose 5.1% and deposits rose 1.8%. One more trend to watch: problem loans, meaning loans on nonaccrual or 90 or more days past due, net of government guarantees, rose to 0.61% of loans from 0.49% a year earlier.

As of June 30, 2026, First Southern National Bank reported a CET1 capital ratio of 18.33%, a return on assets of 0.08%, a nonperforming-loan ratio of 0.61% and a Texas ratio of 3.50%. The figures come from its call report filed with the FFIEC.

Ratios tagged annualized use the Q2 income alone. The UBPR and FDIC annualize the year to date instead. FDIC BankFind divides by the average of quarter-end total assets, the UBPR by RC-K average assets. The YTD margin is the UBPR's tax-equivalent figure over its own average earning assets; FDIC BankFind's margin is not tax-equivalent. How we compute these figures
