Zions Bancorp (ZION) Tops Q1 EPS by 27c

Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ: ZION) reported Q1 EPS of $1.09, $0.27 better than the analyst estimate of $0.82.

Harris H. Simmons, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Our first quarter results reflect continued strong positive operating leverage, with the result that adjusted pre-provision net revenue increased 19% over the first quarter of last year, even after excluding the positive impact of unusually large interest recoveries. Credit quality is also strong, as nonperforming assets have declined by a third over the past year, while net loans charged-off during the quarter were a modest 0.05%, annualized, of total loans and leases. Finally, tax reform reduced the effective tax rate to 23% from what has more typically been a rate in the mid-to-low 30% range. Business confidence and economic conditions across the western U.S. are strong, and we are optimistic about the year ahead."
