MARCH 23, 2007 |
Elvis Presley’s Birthplace |
The Upholstered Furniture Capital of America |
The Headquarters ofOneof America’s Top 50 Banks |
Toyota’s First Choice |
Toyota’s recent announcement to place its new automobile assembly plant at the Wellspring Project site just northwest of Tupelo is recognition by an international giant of the ever-expanding potential of Northeast Mississippi. |
Long known as the birthplace of the King of Rock and Roll, Tupelo and its Northeast Mississippi neighbors have a solid record of industrial growth over the past half century. Fortune 500 names are common here -names like Cooper Tire, Whirlpool, Caterpillar, Sara Lee and Kimberly-Clark. So are an intelligent, energetic workforce; community support, and the headquarters of our 130-year-old, $12.9 billion asset, eight-state regional bank. |
Through a unique partnership involving three adjoining counties, the work of the communily developers, Mississippi’s governor, and a public-private partnership spanning several years, Toyota selected Northeast Mississippi for one of the most sought-after projects in industna development worldwide. |
Best of all, Toyota selected Northeast Mississippi because of our greatest asset — our people - -their education, their energy, their efficiency, their work ethic. |
Welcome, Toyota, to your new Northeast Mississippi home and to our hometown |

APPENDIX
Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Return on average tangible equity should not be considered an alternative to return on average shareholders’ equity or other financial statement data, but rather as a non-GAAP measure of financial performance. Return on average tangible equity is computed by dividing the annualized net earnings available to common shareholders by the average tangible shareholders’ equity.
Average tangible shareholders’ equity equals average shareholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Management believes that return on average tangible equity is a meaningful measure because it reflects the equity deployed in BancorpSouth’s businesses. Because return on average tangible equity is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, return on average tangible equity as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of return on average shareholders’ equity to return on average tangible equity:
