Home BancShares, Inc. Announces Record Net Income for 2006
CONWAY, Ark., Jan. 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Home BancShares, Inc. (Nasdaq:HOMB) today announced record net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $15.9 million, a 39.1% increase over net income of $11.4 million for 2005. Diluted earnings per share for 2006 were $1.00, compared to $0.82 for 2005, an increase of 22.0%. "2006 was a milestone year for our Company with the successful launch of our initial public offering and record net income for the year," said John W. Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $4.5 million, a 26.0% increase over net income of $3.6 million for same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.26 for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $0.25 for the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 4.0%. "With growth in diluted earnings per share on a quarterly basis, we are obviously pleased with the results for this quarter," said John W. Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Even though we experienced compression in our net interest margin, we were still able to achieve earnings improvements through development of our non-interest income."
Because of acquisitions as both a growth and a capital management strategy, cash earnings (net income excluding amortization of intangibles after-tax) are useful in evaluating the Company. Cash diluted earnings per share were $0.28 and $0.27 for the fourth quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash diluted earnings per share for 2006 were $1.07, compared to $0.89 for 2005, an increase of 20.2%.
Operating Highlights
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased 9.7% to $16.2 million compared to $14.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.42% in the quarter just ended compared to 3.48% in the fourth quarter of 2005, a decrease of six basis points. The Company's fourth quarter 2006 net interest margin of 3.42% reflected a decrease of 15 basis points from the third quarter's 3.57%. Competitive pressures and a slightly inverted yield curve have put pressure on the Company's net interest margin.
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 27.0% to $62.8 million compared with $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company's net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for 2006 was 3.51%, an increase of 14 basis points from 3.37% in 2005.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $5.4 million compared with $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, a 34.5% increase. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $19.1 million compared to $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a 21.9% increase. The increase in non-interest income is the result of various items including organic growth, particularly from service charges on deposits; an increase in other service charges and fees related to our improved position to retain more of the interchange fees on our electronic banking transactions and benefits associated with our recent purchase of bank owned life insurance. The 2005 acquisitions also contributed to the increase in non-interest income for the year-end comparisons.
Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $14.5 million compared with $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 13.7%. Non-interest expense for 2006 was $56.5 million compared with $44.9 million for 2005, an increase of 25.7%. On a linked quarter basis, non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2006 resulted in a more modest increase of 6.7% on an annualized basis. These increases are the result of the continued expansion of the Company including the 2005 acquisitions for the year-end comparisons.
Financial Condition
Total loans were $1.42 billion at December 31, 2006 compared to $1.20 billion at December 31, 2005, an increase of 17.6%. Total deposits were $1.61 billion at December 31, 2006 compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2005, an increase of 12.6%. Total assets were $2.19 billion at December 31, 2006, a 14.6% increase from $1.91 billion at December 31, 2005.
Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans improved to 0.32% as of December 31, 2006 when compared to 0.69% as of December 31, 2005. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets were 0.23% as of December 31, 2006 compared to 0.47% as of December 31, 2005.
The Company's allowance for loan losses was $26.1 million at December 31, 2006, or 1.84% of total loans, compared to $24.2 million, or 2.01% of total loans, at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, the Company's allowance for loan losses equaled 574% of its total nonperforming loans compared to 292% as of December 31, 2005.
Stockholders' equity was $231.4 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $165.9 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of 39.5%. Book value per common share was $13.45 at December 31, 2006 compared to book value per common share with preferred converted to common of $11.63 at December 31, 2005, an 15.6% increase. The increases in stockholders' equity and book value per share were primarily the result of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, which was completed during 2006, and retained earnings during the prior twelve months.
Branch Expansion
During 2006, the Company opened six de novo branch locations including Arkansas's only mobile branch. These branch locations are located in the Arkansas communities of Searcy and Beebe plus Port Charlotte, Marco Island and Punta Gorda, Florida. Presently, the Company has two pending Florida de novo branch locations in Key West and Key Largo scheduled to open in 2007. Currently the Company has plans for two additional de novo branch locations in Searcy, Arkansas and one in Saline County, Arkansas.
