EXHIBIT 99.1
PINE BLUFF, Ark., July 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simmons First National Corporation (Nasdaq:SFNC) today announced earnings of $5.5 million, or $0.39 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $0.42 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2008. During the second quarter, deposit insurance expense increased by $2.4 million as a result of the FDIC's industry-wide special assessment and the increase in its general assessment. The after-tax impact to quarterly earnings was a reduction of $1.5 million, or $0.11 diluted earnings per share.
"Despite the negative earnings impact of the industry-wide FDIC assessment, our second quarter results actually exceeded our expectations. While our loan demand remains soft, we were very pleased with a slightly improved margin of 4 basis points, exceptional non-interest income growth of 13.6%, relatively low credit card charge-offs of 2.83%, continued strong asset quality with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.78% versus peer of approximately 2.5%, and last but not least, a very strong capital base as reflected in our equity to assets ratio of 10.1%," commented J. Thomas May, Chairman and CEO.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, net income was $10.7 million, or $0.76 diluted earnings per share, compared to $14.8 million, or $1.05 per share for the same period in 2008. "During the first quarter of 2008 we recorded earnings of $0.18 per share for nonrecurring items related to Visa, Inc.'s IPO. Normalizing for the 2008 Visa items and the 2009 FDIC insurance increases, our 6 month earnings were relatively unchanged," added May.
The Company's net interest income for the second quarter of 2009 increased 2.7% to $23.7 million compared to $23.1 million for the same period of 2008. Net interest margin increased 4 basis points to 3.71% from the second quarter of 2008 and 3 basis points from the first quarter of 2009.
The Company's loan portfolio increased 1.8% to $1.94 billion at June 30, 2009. The growth was primarily attributable to increases in the student loan portfolio. "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. However, 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 0.86% as of June 30, 2009. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 1.02%. These ratios include approximately $2.4 million of Government guaranteed student loans that were over 90 days past due at the end of the quarter. Excluding the guaranteed past due student loans, non-performing assets as a percent of total assets were 0.78% and non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.90%. Total loans greater than 30 days past due were 0.58% of total loans compared to 0.78% in the first quarter of 2009.
The allowance for loan losses was $25.0 million at June 30, 2009, or 1.29% of total loans and 126% of non-performing loans. The Company's annualized net charge-off ratio for the second quarter of 2009 was 0.44%. Excluding credit cards, the annualized net charge-off ratio for the second quarter was 0.22%. Annualized net credit card charge-offs for the second quarter were 2.83%, an increase of 19 basis points from the previous quarter, but still more than 750 basis points below the most recently published credit card charge-off industry average of 10.62%.
Total deposits were $2.3 billion and total assets for the Company were $2.9 billion at June 30, 2009. Stockholders' equity increased 5.1% to $292 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $278 million at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009, book value per share was $20.82 and tangible book value per share was $16.35.
"As announced last week, Simmons First will not participate in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program, or CPP," said May. "After careful consideration and analysis, we believe there has been considerable improvement in the economic indicators since October 2008. The Arkansas economy is doing well relative to many other geographic regions of our country, and Simmons First continues to have strong asset quality, liquidity and capital. Accordingly, we do not believe participation in the CPP is necessary nor in the best interest of our shareholders. While we have chosen not to participate, Simmons First believes the CPP has served the original purpose of the Treasury."
Simmons First National Corporation is an Arkansas based financial holding company with eight community banks in Pine Bluff, Lake Village, Jonesboro, Rogers, Searcy, Russellville, El Dorado and Hot Springs, Arkansas. The Company's eight banks conduct financial operations from 88 offices, of which 84 are financial centers, in 47 communities.
