FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                   

NASHVILLE, TN, July 21, 2022 – Truxton Corporation, the parent company for Truxton Trust Company (“Truxton” or “the Bank”) and subsidiaries, announced its operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.  Second quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $4.1 million or $1.41 per diluted share compared to $3.6 million or $1.22 per diluted share for the same quarter in 2021.  Net income and fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter rose by 16% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

“Truxton’s second quarter 2022 performance was exceptional despite market turbulence,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Stumb. “Wealth management revenue increased 9% from the same quarter last year as our team continued to earn the opportunity to serve new clients.  The private banking team produced a record quarter of loan growth by finding creative lending solutions for our clients while maintaining our focus on credit quality. We expect the volatile market conditions we are currently experiencing to continue to create a challenging operating environment and to pressure earnings for the remainder of the year.” 

Key Highlights

• Pre-Provision Net Revenue (PPNR) for the second quarter was $5.58 million, an increase of 8.8% from the first quarter of 2022 and an increase of 30.3% compared to the second quarter of 2021. PPNR for the first half of 2022 was 33.4% higher than the first half of 2021.
