Bank OZK has published the transcript of its Fourth Quarter 2025 Conference Call, held on January 21, 2026. The event was led by Jay Staley, Managing Director of Investor Relations & Corporate Development, and featured key members of Bank OZK's leadership team, including the Chairman and CEO, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and President of Corporate and Institutional Banking. During the call, management addressed the bank's credit quality and discussed the fluidity of the "special mention" loan category, noting that loans may move in and out of this classification as conditions change. One executive explained, “The vast majority of those reserves are not going to be needed for the specific loans they're on, but other things will get migrated to a more adverse status, and you'll need some of that reserve that's freed up from others to meet that. So it's an average process.” The leadership also responded to analyst questions on loan-to-value ratios and upcoming loan maturities, particularly in relation to larger office loans in the special mention category. They emphasized ongoing monitoring and prudent reserve management in anticipation of potential changes in loan status. The full transcript can be accessed through the link below.
