Harris H. Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Zions Bancorporation, commented, "Fourth quarter operating results reflect the Bank's resiliency, with strong quarter-over-quarter customer deposit growth of $1.7 billion, loan growth of $0.9 billion, a stable net interest margin and continued strengthening of the Bank's capital position. Operating expenses, excluding a one-time $90 million FDIC special assessment related to the bank failures in early 2023, continued to be well managed."
