Simmons First Announces First Quarter Earnings
PINE BLUFF, Ark., April 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simmons First National Corporation (Nasdaq:SFNC) today announced first quarter 2009 earnings of $5.2 million, or $0.37 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.45 diluted core earnings per share for the same period in 2008. During the first quarter of 2008 the Company recorded additional earnings of $0.18 per share for nonrecurring items related to Visa, Inc.'s IPO.
"Considering the challenges of our national economy, we are pleased with our performance for the first quarter. Our conservative culture has sustained us well during these turbulent times. Our earnings were relatively close to our expectations for this economy, our asset quality continues to be strong and our capital remains in the top twenty percent of our peer group," according to J. Thomas May, Chairman and CEO. "We are cautiously optimistic that the Arkansas economy will continue to perform at a level better than many other regions throughout the country. However, we must continue to be alert as to the potential of a lag effect that often accompanies a recession. On a positive note, we share some of the cautious optimism that the recession is beginning to show signs of nearing the bottom."
The Company's net interest income for the first quarter of 2009 increased 2.6% to $23.4 million compared to $22.8 million for the same period of 2008. Net interest margin decreased 12 basis points to 3.68% from the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to significant repricing of earning assets resulting from declining interest rates and the Company's concentrated effort to increase liquidity and grow core deposits. Net interest income declined 2 basis points from the fourth quarter primarily due to the seasonality of the loan portfolio and increased cash flows from the investment portfolio as a result of called bonds.
The Company's loan portfolio increased 4.1% to $1.92 billion at March 31, 2009. The growth was primarily attributable to increases in the student loan portfolio, as well as in real estate loans. "As expected, while each of our eight banks continues providing loans to its respective customers, the loan demand today is significantly less than historical levels. Additionally, we are positioned to meet the needs of our consumer and commercial borrowers when demand returns," added May.
Non-performing assets as a percent of total assets were 0.80% as of March 31, 2009. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 1.03%. These ratios include approximately $2.7 million of Government guaranteed student loans that became over 90 days past due during the quarter. Excluding the guaranteed past due student loans, non-performing assets as a percent of total assets were 0.71% and non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.89%.
The allowance for loan losses was $24.5 million at March 31, 2009, or 1.28% of total loans and 124% of non-performing loans. The Company's annualized net charge-off ratio for the first quarter of 2009 was 0.73%. Excluding credit cards, the annualized net charge-off ratio for the first quarter was 0.56%. Annualized net credit card charge-offs for the first quarter were 2.64%, an increase of 62 basis points from the previous quarter, but still more than 600 basis points below the most recently published credit card charge-off industry average of 8.82%.
Total deposits were $2.4 billion at March 31, 2009, an increase of $73 million, or 3.2% from the same period in 2008. At the beginning of 2008, the Company implemented strategic initiatives to reduce its dependency on time deposits. As a result, non-time core deposits increased $180 million, or 15%, while the dependency on more costly time deposits decreased by $107 million from March 31, 2008.
Total assets for the Company were $2.9 billion at March 31, 2009. Stockholders' equity increased 4.1% to $292 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $281 million at March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2009, book value per share was $20.85 and tangible book value per share was $16.35.
