PNFP REPORTS FULLY DILUTED EPS UP 29.4% OVER SAME QUARTER LAST YEAR

Loans up 11.6% over same quarter last year

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 21, 2014 – Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq/NGS: PNFP) today reported net income per diluted common share of $0.44 for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013, compared to net income per diluted common share of $0.34 for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2012, an increase of 29.4 percent. Net income per diluted common share was $1.67 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, compared to net income per diluted common share of $1.10 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, an increase of 51.8 percent.

Included in 2013 results were net reductions approximating $0.05 in earnings per share consisting of an $877,000 charge due to a Federal Home Loan Bank advance restructuring in the first quarter of 2013 and $1.47 million in net losses on sales of investment securities that occurred during the first three quarters of 2013.

"Our 2013 results represent another remarkable year for our shareholders and associates," said M. Terry Turner, Pinnacle's president and chief executive officer. "Loans increased more than $432 million during 2013, an 11.6 percent increase over last year. Our fourth quarter 2013 average noninterest bearing deposit balances increased 20.5 percent from last year's fourth quarter average balances, indicating that our deposit franchise continues to grow and gain momentum in two very attractive banking markets. We had a very successful recruiting year as we attracted several of the best bankers and investment professionals to our firm in 2013. Lastly, we initiated our quarterly cash dividend program in the fourth quarter of 2013. All of these factors give me great confidence in our ability to accomplish our targeted growth and profitability objectives in 2014 while continuing to enhance shareholder value."

GROWING THE CORE EARNINGS CAPACITY OF THE FIRM:

· Loans at Dec. 31, 2013 were a record $4.144 billion, an increase of $432.3 million from Dec. 31, 2012, reflecting year-over-year growth of 11.6 percent. Loan growth during the fourth quarter was $175.2 million compared to $43.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $187.0 million in the same quarter last year.

· Average balances of noninterest bearing deposit accounts were $1.179 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 7.2 percent from the third quarter of 2013 and up 20.5 percent over the same quarter last year.

· Revenues (excluding securities gains and losses) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013 were a record $57.5 million, an increase from $57.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 and up 7.7 percent over the $53.4 million for the same quarter last year.

· The firm's efficiency ratio for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013 was 56.8 percent compared to 59.5 percent in the third quarter of 2013 and 63.0 percent for the same quarter last year.

"I continue to be very impressed with the effectiveness of our client contact associates," Turner said. "Their ability to know and meet the needs of their current clients as well as attract new clients is providing the kind of operating leverage necessary to achieve our long-term profitability targets. Despite an economic landscape that yields only modest opportunities for net loan growth, we continue to take market share from larger competitors and believe that will be the case throughout 2014 as these associates continue to build their books of business in Nashville and Knoxville."

OTHER FOURTH QUARTER 2013 HIGHLIGHTS:

· Revenue growth

o Net interest income for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013 was $45.0 million, compared to $44.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $42.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was up 6.5 percent year-over-year and is at its highest quarterly level since the firm's founding in 2000.

§ Consistent with previously disclosed expectations, the firm's net interest margin decreased to 3.70 percent for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013, down from 3.72 percent last quarter and 3.80 percent for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2012.

o Noninterest income for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013 was $12.5 million, compared to $11.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 and $13.1 million for the same quarter last year. Excluding securities gains and losses in each period, noninterest income was up 12.3 percent over the same quarter last year.

§ Wealth management revenues, which include investment services, insurance and trust fees, were $4.40 million during the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $3.91 million during the third quarter of 2013 and $3.96 million during the fourth quarter of 2012.

§ Gains on mortgage loans sold, net of commissions, were $1.11 million during the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $1.33 million during the third quarter of 2013 and $1.77 million during the fourth quarter of 2012.

§ Other noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased by $1.47 million over the fourth quarter of 2012. 

"We are pleased that 2013 total revenues grew 7.7 percent over 2012," said Harold R. Carpenter, Pinnacle's chief financial officer. "Given that our revenue growth is all organic, we believe that increase will compare favorably to other peer banks. Also, primarily due to our ability to produce meaningful net loan growth, we continued our track record for growing net interest income despite some shrinkage in the net interest margin. That said, we believe our net interest margin should remain between 3.70 and 3.80 percent in 2014."

· Noninterest and income tax expense

o Noninterest expense for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013 was $129.3 million, compared to $138.2 million for the prior year. Noninterest expense for 2013, excluding other real estate expenses and FHLB restructuring charges, was $125.3 million, representing only a 0.6 percent increase over 2012. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2013 was $32.6 million, compared to $33.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $34.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

§ Salaries and employee benefits costs were up from the third quarter of 2013 by approximately $485,000 and by $1.94 million from the fourth quarter of 2012.

§ Other real estate expenses were $302,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $700,000 in the third quarter of 2013 and $1.36 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

o Income tax expense was $7.27 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $7.31 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $6.28 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate for 2013 is 32.8 percent compared to 33.0 percent in 2012.

"We are pleased to report that our expenses, excluding other real estate expenses and FHLB restructuring charges, ended the year at $125.3 million, representing only a 0.6 percent increase over 2012, further validating our ability to grow our revenues without significant incremental costs," Carpenter said. "This represents a significant effort by the operational leaders and associates throughout our firm. As we move forward into 2014, as has been our strategy for the past two years, we will remain diligent on expense containment while continuing to focus on growing the core revenue capacity of our firm.

"We expect our expense base in 2014 to increase slightly over our fourth quarter run rate due to the usual merit raises that occur in the first part of each year. Also, we intend to continue hiring new revenue-producing associates in 2014, as we have throughout the history of the firm. We believe we have built a very effective platform going into 2014 that should allow our firm to achieve an enhanced level of profitability, consistently operating within or better than the target ranges for each of the key operating metrics we began discussing two years ago."

SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA – UNAUDITED

1. Ratios are presented on an annualized basis.

2. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets.

3. Total revenue is equal to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

4. Efficiency ratios are calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

5. Troubled debt restructurings include loans where the company, as a result of the borrower's financial difficulties, has granted a credit concession to the borrower (i.e., interest only payments for a significant period of time, extending the maturity of the loan, etc.).  All of these loans continue to accrue interest at the contractual rate.

6. Average risk ratings are based on an internal loan review system which assigns a numeric value of 1 to 10 to all loans to commercial entities based on their underlying risk characteristics as of the end of each quarter. A "1" risk rating is assigned to credits that exhibit Excellent risk characteristics, "2" exhibit Very Good risk characteristics, "3" Good, "4" Satisfactory, "5" Acceptable or Average, "6" Watch List, "7" Criticized, "8" Classified or Substandard, "9" Doubtful and "10" Loss (which are charged-off immediately).  Additionally, loans rated "8" or worse that are not nonperforming or restructured loans are considered potential problem loans.  Generally, consumer loans are not subjected to internal risk ratings.

7. Annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans ratios are computed by annualizing year-to-date net loan charge-offs and dividing the result by average loans for the year-to-date period.

8. Capital ratios are defined as follows:

Equity to total assets – End of period total stockholders' equity as a percentage of end of period assets.

Tangible common equity to total assets - End of period total stockholders' equity less end of period goodwill, core deposit and other intangibles as a percentage of end of period assets.

Leverage – Tier one capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) as a percentage of adjusted average assets.

Tier one risk-based – Tier one capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

Total risk-based – Total capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

    Classified asset - Classified assets as a percentage of Tier 1 capital plus allowance for loan losses.

    Tier one common equity to risk weighted assets - Tier 1 capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) less the amount of any preferred stock or subordinated indebtedness that is considered

     as a component of tier 1 capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

9. Book value per share computed by dividing total stockholders' equity less preferred stock and common stock warrants by common shares outstanding.

10. Amounts are included in the statement of operations in "Gains on loans sold, net", net of commissions paid on such amounts.

11. At fair value, based on information obtained from Pinnacle's third party broker/dealer for non-FDIC insured financial products and services.

12. Core deposits include all transaction deposit accounts, money market and savings accounts and all certificates of deposit issued in a denomination of less than $250,000.

The ratio noted above represents total core deposits divided by total funding, which includes total deposits, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, subordinated indebtedness and all other interest-bearing liabilities.

13. Associate retention rate is computed by dividing the number of associates employed at quarter-end less the number of associates that have resigned in the last 12 months by the number of associates employed at quarter-end.

14. Employment and unemployment data is from BERC- MTSU & Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Labor force data is seasonally adjusted.  The most recent quarter data presented is as of the most recent month that data is available as of the release date.  Historical data is subject to update by the BERC- MTSU & Bureau of Labor Statistics. Historical data is presented based on the most recently reported data available by the BERC- MTSU & Bureau of Labor Statistics.  The Nashville home data is from the Greater Nashville Association of Realtors.

15.  Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income excludes the impact of investment gains and losses on sales and impairments, net and non-credit related loan losses as well as other real estate owned expenses and FHLB restructuring charges.

16. Represents months supply of homes currently listed with MLS based on current sales activity in the Nashville MSA.

17. Represents investment gains and losses on sales and impairments, net occurring as a result of both credit losses and losses incurred as the result of a change in management's intention to sell a bond prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis.

18. The dividend payout ratio is calculated as the sum of the annualized dividend rate divided by the trailing 12-months fully diluted earnings per share as of the dividend declaration date.
