Negative Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Home BancShares said it set aside about $16.7 million in additional loan loss reserves for the third quarter of 2024 tied to Hurricane Helene, which made landfall September 26, 2024. The company said Hurricane Milton, which made landfall October 9, 2024, could result in a substantial increase to hurricane-related loan reserves in the fourth quarter, so shareholders face possible further charges.

Key points

  • Additional third-quarter 2024 loan loss reserves of approximately $16.7 million related to Hurricane Helene
  • Helene made landfall September 26, 2024 as a Category 4 hurricane; the company has a little over $1 billion in loans in the storm's path
  • Hurricane Milton made landfall October 9, 2024; the company said it could cause a substantial increase to fourth-quarter hurricane-related reserves
