KANSAS CITY – Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBSH) reported third quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, as the regional bank saw growth in non-interest income and maintained strong credit quality.

The company posted earnings of $1.07 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.01. This was flat compared to earnings of $1.07 per share in the previous quarter and up from $0.92 per share in the same quarter last year.

Non-interest income rose 11.2% YoY to $159.0 million, driven primarily by higher trust fees, which grew 11.1% compared to the same period last year. The company also saw increases in capital market fees and deposit account fees.

“We are pleased with our third quarter results, which exemplify our diversified operating model and the growth mindset of our team,” said John Kemper (NYSE:KMPR), President and CEO of Commerce Bancshares.
