Independent Bank Group, Inc. (IBTX)·Q2 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 2024 GAAP results were dominated by a non-cash goodwill impairment: net loss of $493.5M (−$11.89 diluted EPS) on a $518.0M goodwill impairment tied to stock price below book and the pending SouthState merger; adjusted net income was $24.9M ($0.60 adjusted diluted EPS) .
- Net interest margin expanded +5 bps QoQ to 2.47% as loan yields rose to 6.03% and outpaced deposit cost pressure; net interest income was $105.1M .
- Credit quality remained solid: NPA ratio 0.35%, NPLs 0.40% of loans, and ACL coverage of NPLs ~259%; net charge-offs were 0.10% annualized (elevated by two relationships) .
- Capital stayed well above “well-capitalized”: total capital ratio 11.75% (+7 bps QoQ), TCE ratio 7.72% (+10 bps QoQ); quarterly dividend maintained at $0.38 per share .
- Estimates context: S&P Global consensus EPS and revenue were unavailable via our tool, so we cannot quantify beats/misses this quarter (SPGI mapping for IBTX missing).

Q&A Highlights
We sought the Q2 2024 earnings call transcript but did not find it in our document set; therefore, specific Q&A themes, guidance clarifications, and tone shifts cannot be summarized for Q2. Q1 2024 call materials were available; Q2 call transcript was unavailable in our retrieval.
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q2 2024 EPS and revenue were not retrievable due to a missing CIQ mapping for IBTX in our system. As a result, we cannot quantify performance vs. Wall Street estimates this quarter (Values from S&P Global unavailable).
Key Takeaways for Investors
- GAAP optics are severely distorted by a non-cash goodwill impairment (−$11.89 EPS); adjusted EPS of $0.60 better reflects core run-rate and is the relevant lens near-term .
- Margin trajectory improved: NIM +5 bps QoQ and loan yields +10 bps, suggesting repricing tailwinds; watch deposit costs, which remain elevated .
- Credit quality remains strong despite modest uptick in NCOs; ACL coverage and low NPA/NPL ratios support stability .
- Capital buffers increased; dividend maintained at $0.38, reinforcing confidence in balance sheet and earnings capacity .
- Merger with SouthState is the key medium-term catalyst; monitor regulatory timeline and integration plans highlighted by management .
- Near-term trading: expect volatility around GAAP optics; focus on adjusted metrics and NIM trajectory; any signs of deposit cost relief could be a positive catalyst .
- Medium-term thesis: improving core margin, disciplined credit, and stronger combined platform post-merger could support multiple normalization once integration milestones are met .
