EXPLANATORY NOTE

Veritex Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 23, 2024 (the “Original Report”) relating to the Company’s operating results for the fourth quarter and year-end December 31, 2023. The text of the Original Report was accurate and correctly identified that it was being filed under Items 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition), 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure), 8.01 (Other Events) and 9.01 (Financial Statements and Exhibits).

However, due to administrative error, the Original Report was incorrectly tagged on the SEC’s EDGAR system and mistakenly filed under Item 2.01 (Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets) instead of Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition). The sole purpose of the Amendment is to correctly tag and refile the Original Report on EDGAR as a filing under Items 2.02, 7.01, 8.01 and 9.01. No disclosure in the text of the Original Report was changed as a result of this Amendment, which is reproduced below in its entirety. No changes in Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 or Exhibit 99.3, which were previously filed with the Original Report, resulted from this Amendment.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information furnished in this Item 2.02 (including Exhibit 99.1) of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On Wednesday, January 24, 2024, at 8:30 a.m., Central Time, the Company will host an investor conference call and webcast to review its fourth quarter financial results. The webcast will include a slide presentation that consists of information regarding the Company’s operating and growth strategies and financial performance. The presentation materials will be posted on the Company’s website after the close of the market on Tuesday, January 23, 2024. The presentation materials are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information furnished in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.2) of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events

After the close of the market on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on its outstanding common stock.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, net interest income before provision for credit losses was $95.5 million and net interest margin was 3.31%, compared to $99.4 million and 3.46%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The $3.8 million decrease, or 3.9%, in net interest income before provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in interest expense on transaction and savings deposits, a $4.0 million increase in interest expense on certificates and other time deposits and a $1.9 million decrease in interest income on loans primarily driven by interest reversals on loans placed on nonaccrual status during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was offset by a $5.9 million decrease in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), a $1.4 million increase in interest income on debt securities and a $1.0 million increase in interest income on deposits in financial institutions and fed funds sold driven by an increase in average balances and rates during three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest margin decreased 15 bps from the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the increase in funding costs on deposits during the three months ended December 31, 2023, partially offset by an increase in yields on debt securities and other investments.

Compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $10.6 million, or 10.0%. The decrease was primarily due to a $31.6 million increase in interest expense certificates and other time deposits and a $22.2 million increase in transaction and savings deposits driven by an increase in funding costs. The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by a $28.6 million increase in interest income on loans driven by an increase in loan yields and average balances, an $8.0 million decrease in interest expense on advances from FHLB, a $4.8 million increase in interest income in deposits in financial institutions and fed funds sold and a $1.4 million increase in interest income on debt securities. Net interest margin decreased 56 bps to 3.31% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 from 3.87% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in funding costs on deposits during the three months ended December 31, 2023, partially offset by an increase in loan yields and debt securities.

Noninterest (Loss) Income

Noninterest (loss) income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was a loss of $17.8 million, a decrease of $27.5 million, or 283.9%, compared to noninterest income of $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a $29.3 million decrease in equity method investment income related to a write down of our equity method investment in Thrive Mortgage, LLC ("Thrive") related to Thrive’s entry into a definitive agreement in December 2023 to be acquired by Lower Holding Company. The decrease was partially offset by a $665 thousand increase in government guaranteed loan income, primarily driven by an increase in U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans sold through our wholly owned subsidiary North Avenue Capital, LLC ("NAC").

Compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 decreased $32.1 million, or 224.2%. The decrease was primarily due to a $24.0 million decrease in equity method investment income related to the write down of our equity method investment in Thrive. In addition, the decrease was partially due to $946 thousand increase in gain on sale of USDA loans through NAC, a $2.0 million decrease in customer swap income, a $1.3 million decrease in loan fees and a $1.0 million decrease in other income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $60.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $59.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $824 thousand, or 1.4%. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.4 million increase in other expenses and a $768 thousand FDIC special assessment expense recorded in the fourth quarter 2023, partially offset by a decrease of $408 thousand in marketing expenses and a decrease of $343 thousand in salaries and employee benefits.

Noninterest expense was $60.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $57.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $2.9 million, or 5.0%. The increase was primarily driven by a $3.2 million increase in professional and regulatory fees driven by FDIC insurance assessment expense, which includes the $768 thousand FDIC special assessment expense recorded in the fourth quarter 2023, and a $2.8 million increase in other expenses. The increase was partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in salary and employee benefits.

Financial Condition

Total loans held for investment (“LHI”) was $9.2 billion at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $30.9 million, compared to September 30, 2023, and an increase of $170.1 million, or 1.9%, compared to December 31, 2022.

Total deposits were $10.34 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $141.7 million, or 5.5% annualized, compared to September 30, 2023, and an increase of $1.21 billion, or 13.3%, compared to December 31, 2022. The increase from September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase of $412.3 million in interest-bearing transaction, money market and savings deposits accounts. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $211.7 million in certificates and other time deposits and a decrease of $145.3 million of noninterest bearing deposits. The increase from December 31, 2022 was primarily the result of increases of $1.11 billion and $833.7 million in certificates and other time deposits and interest-bearing transaction, money market, and savings deposits, respectively. The increase was partially offset by a $422.6 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposits and a $301.2 million decrease in correspondent money market accounts.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) increased to $95.8 million, or 0.77% of total assets, at December 31, 2023, compared to $79.9 million, or 0.65% of total assets, at September 30, 2023. The Company had net charge-offs of $9.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs compared to average loans outstanding were 25 bps for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 16 bps for year ended December 31, 2022.

ACL as a percentage of LHI was 1.14%, 1.14%, and 0.96% at December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a provision for credit losses of $8.6 million and $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The recorded provision for credit losses reported for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in general reserves as a result of changes in economic factors and individually analyzed loans receiving specific reserves. The Company recorded a benefit for unfunded commitments of $1.5 million, $909 thousand and $523 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in the recorded benefit for unfunded commitments during the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, was attributable to a decrease in unfunded commitment balances partially offset by changes in economic factors.

Income Tax

Income tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 totaled $36.0 million, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 10.7%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 25.0% and 21.6% for the twelve months December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, was primarily due to a $4.2 million valuation allowance relating to our impairment on our investment in Thrive and its relative relation to less pre-tax income.

Dividend Information

On January 23, 2024, Veritex's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on its outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend will be paid on February 23, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2024.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively either one or both of (i) financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and (ii) operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other financial institutions calculate their financial measures that appear to be similar or have similar names to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by number of common shares outstanding. For tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For tangible common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total stockholders’ equity to total assets.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, in each case, exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets and presents our tangible common equity to tangible assets:

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles (which we refer to as “return”) as net income, plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, less tax benefit at the statutory rate; (b) average tangible common equity as total average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have the effect of increasing total stockholders’ equity while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions that may have higher balances in goodwill and core deposit intangibles than non-acquisitive institutions.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Operating Earnings, Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings and performance metrics calculated using Operating Earnings and Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings, including Diluted Operating Earnings per Share, Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Assets, Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Loans, Operating Return on Average Tangible Common Equity and Operating Efficiency Ratio. Operating earnings, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings and the performance metrics calculated using these metrics, listed below, are non-GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. We calculate (a) operating earnings as net income plus equity method investment write-down, plus FDIC special assessment, plus severance payments, plus loss on sale of debt securities AFS, net, plus M&A expenses less tax impact of adjustments, plus nonrecurring tax adjustments. We calculate (b) diluted operating earnings per share as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We calculate (c) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as operating earnings as described in clause (a) plus provision for income taxes, plus benefit (provision) for credit losses and unfunded commitments. We calculate (d) pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets as pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (e) operating return on average assets as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (f) operating return on average tangible common equity as operating earnings as described in clause (a), adjusted for the amortization of intangibles and tax benefit at the statutory rate, divided by total average tangible common equity (average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization). We calculate (g) operating efficiency ratio as noninterest expense plus adjustments to operating noninterest expense divided by noninterest income plus adjustments to operating noninterest income, plus net interest income

We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.

2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on various facts and derived utilizing assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which change over time and are beyond our control, that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the expected payment of Veritex’s quarterly cash dividend; expected loss on Veritex’s current equity method investment in Thrive; the transaction between Thrive and Lower Holding Company, including the expected timing of the completion of such transaction, the ability of the parties thereto to complete such transaction, the ability of the parties thereto to obtain any required regulatory or other approvals, authorizations or consents in connection with such transaction, and diversion of management time on issues related to such transaction; the impact of certain changes in Veritex’s accounting policies, standards and interpretations; a continuation of recent turmoil in the banking industry, responsive measures to mitigate and manage it and related supervisory and regulatory actions and costs and Veritex’s future financial performance, business and growth strategy, projected plans and objectives, as well as other projections based on macroeconomic and industry trends, which are inherently unreliable due to the multiple factors that impact broader economic and industry trends, and any such variations may be material. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “targets,” “outlooks,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts, although not all forward-looking statements include the foregoing words. We refer you to the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Veritex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and any updates to those risk factors set forth in Veritex’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Veritex’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what Veritex anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Veritex does not undertake any obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to supplement, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that Veritex or persons acting on Veritex’s behalf may issue. This presentation also includes industry and trade association data, forecasts and information that Veritex has prepared based, in part, upon data, forecasts and information obtained from independent trade associations, industry publications and surveys, government agencies and other information publicly available to Veritex, which information may be specific to particular markets or geographic locations. Some data is also based on Veritex's good faith estimates, which are derived from Veritex management's knowledge of the industry, markets and independent sources. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Although Veritex believes these sources are reliable, Veritex has not independently verified the information contained therein. While Veritex is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data, forecasts and information included in this presentation, such data forecasts, and information and Veritex's estimates based thereon involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors. Veritex does not undertake any obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to supplement, update or revise such data forecasts, and information and Veritex's estimates based thereon, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
