Business Wire
International Bancshares Corporation (NASDAQ:IBOC), one of the
largest independent bank holding companies in Texas, today reported
annual net income available to common shareholders for 2014 of
$153.2 million or $2.28 diluted earnings per common
share ($2.29 per share basic) compared to $126.4
million or $1.88 diluted earnings per common share
($1.88 per share basic), which represents a 21.2
percent increase in net income and a 21.3 percent increase
in diluted earnings per share over the corresponding period in
2013. Net income available to common shareholders for the three
months ended December 31, 2014 was $38.6 million or
$.57 diluted earnings per common share ($.58 per
share basic), compared to $38.9 million or $.58
diluted earnings per common share ($.58 per share basic),
representing a decrease of 0.8 percent in net income
available to common shareholders and a 1.7 percent decrease
in diluted earnings per share.
Net income available to common shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 2014 was positively affected by an increase in the
Company’s net interest margin, as well as a 37.2 percent decrease
in the provision for probable loan losses for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2014. The increase in net interest margin can be
primarily attributed to increased levels of interest income arising
from the repositioning of the investment portfolio the Company
undertook in 2013, an increase in loans outstanding, and a decrease
in interest expense on securities sold under repurchase agreements
arising from the early termination of some of the long-term
repurchase agreements by the lead bank subsidiary.

strategy. We are confident in the strength of our balance sheet and
our strong capital position,” said Dennis E. Nixon, President and
