EXHIBIT 99.1
PINE BLUFF, Ark., Oct. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simmons First National Corporation (Nasdaq:SFNC) today announced record third quarter earnings of $7.7 million, or $0.54 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to $0.46 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2008, a 17.4% increase. The earnings increase was primarily driven by improvement in non-interest income and net interest margin.
"We are very pleased with our earnings, despite the fact that our loan demand remains soft. Low loan demand is not totally unexpected considering the challenges in the economy. Obviously, we are very pleased with the 13 basis point improvement in our net interest margin and the continuation of strong asset quality," commented J. Thomas May, Chairman and CEO, regarding the Company's third quarter results.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, net income was $18.4 million, or $1.30 diluted earnings per share, compared to $21.3 million, or $1.51 per share for the same period in 2008, a $0.21 decrease. "During the first quarter of 2008 we recorded earnings of $0.18 per share for nonrecurring items related to Visa, Inc.'s IPO. Also, 2009 earnings were negatively impacted $0.06 per share by the $1.5 million FDIC special assessment incurred in the second quarter. Normalizing for the 2008 Visa items and the 2009 FDIC special assessment, our nine-month earnings per share increased by $0.03," explained May.
The Company's net interest income for the third quarter of 2009 increased 4.3% to $25.4 million compared to $24.3 million for the same period of 2008. Net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.97% from the third quarter of 2008 and 26 basis points from the second quarter of 2009.
The Company's loan portfolio remained relatively flat at $1.93 billion at September 30, 2009. "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 September 30, 2009. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.99%. These ratios include approximately $2.3 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 0.79% and non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.88%. Total loans greater than 30 days past due were 0.82% of total loans compared to 0.58% in the second quarter of 2009.
The allowance for loan losses was $25.8 million at September 30, 2009, or 1.34% of total loans and 135% of non-performing loans. The Company's annualized net charge-off ratio for the third quarter of 2009 was 0.40%. Excluding credit cards, the annualized net charge-off ratio for the third quarter was 0.19%. Annualized net credit card charge-offs for the third quarter were 2.58%, a decrease of 25 basis points from the previous quarter, and now almost 900 basis points below the most recently published credit card charge-off industry average of 11.49%.
Total deposits were $2.3 billion and total assets for the Company were $2.9 billion at September 30, 2009. Stockholders' equity increased 6.1% to $298 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $281 million at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2009, book value per share was $21.20, tangible book value per share was $16.75 and the equity to assets ratio was 10.2%.
"One of the major strengths of our Company is our exceptional level of capital," continued May. "We have historically been in the upper quartile of our peer group, and it is particularly important during times of economic turbulence. We believe our capital positions us to take advantage of opportunities that will likely present themselves during these challenging times."
"Despite the challenges in the national economy, the Arkansas economy has fared relatively well. Likewise, the banking industry has performed relatively well compared to many other regions of the country. I believe the Arkansas banks are prepared to meet the needs of consumers and small business throughout our state as the economy begins the anticipated recovery," concluded May.
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.
