FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position and results of operations. All adjustments were of a normal
recurring nature. However, the results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available
to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period. In computing diluted earnings per common share for the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company assumes that all
outstanding options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the
beginning of the year (or time of issuance, if later). The dilutive effect
of the outstanding options is reflected by application of the treasury
stock method, whereby the proceeds from the exercised options are assumed
to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the
respective period. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in
computing basic earnings per common share for the quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, were 9,974,306 and 9,953,794 shares, respectively. The
weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing diluted
earnings per common share for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
were 10,006,257 and 9,996,399 shares, respectively.
-9-
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Operating Results
- -----------------
Net income for the first quarter 2000 totaled $6.7 million, an increase of $600
thousand, or 10.1% over earnings of $6.1 million for the same period last year.
Higher net interest income and noninterest income were the primary factors
contributing to the improved earnings. On a per share basis, earnings amounted
to $ .68 per share as compared to $ .62 per share for first quarter 1999. Return
on average assets and return on average equity for the first quarter 2000
amounted to 1.60% and 15.18%, respectively. For the same period in 1999, return
on average assets and return on average equity amounted to 1.49% and 14.78%,
respectively.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter 2000 amounted to $17.6
million as compared to $16.8 million for the same period last year. The increase
for 2000 was attributable to a $27 million increase in average earning assets
and an improved net interest yield which amounted to 4.64% as compared to 4.53%
for the first quarter last year.
The provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2000 totaled $741 thousand
as compared to $470 thousand for the first quarter last year. Net charge offs
for the first quarter totaled $392 thousand which, on an annualized basis,
amounted to .20% of average loans as compared to .27% for the full year of 1999.
At March 31, 2000, the allowance for loan losses amounted to 485.6% of
nonperforming loans and 1.15% of total loans, which was considered by Management
to be adequate.
Total noninterest income for the first quarter was $6.5 million, an increase of
$406 thousand, or 6.7%, over the same period last year. Service fees on deposit
accounts were up $265 thousand, or 8.5%, and were the primary factor for the
overall improvement in noninterest income. The increase in deposit service fees
resulted primarily from increased transaction volume.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter 2000 amounted to $12.9 million which
was $29 thousand below the same period last year. Salaries and employee benefits
expense were up $78 thousand, or 1.2%. Net occupancy expense decreased $114
thousand and resulted primarily from lower depreciation and repairs and
maintenance expense. The Company's key indicator of operating efficiency,
noninterest expense as a percent of net interest income on a tax-equivalent
basis and noninterest income, was 53.61% for the first quarter as compared to
56.69% for the first quarter in 1999.
Balance Sheet Review
- --------------------
Total assets at March 31, 2000, amounted to $1.708 billion as compared to $1.723
billion at December 31, 1999, and $1.677 billion at March 31, 1999. The March
31, 2000, decline in total assets from the year-end 1999 balance reflects a
seasonal decrease in total deposits. The balance sheets presented reflect normal
recurring adjustments and accruals.
Loans at March 31, 2000, net of unearned discount, totaled $808 million as
compared to $797 million at year-end 1999 and $773 million at March 31, 1999. As
compared to year-end 1999 amounts, loans at March 31, 2000, reflect (i) a $7
million decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural loans; (ii) a $13
million increase in real estate loans; and (iii) a $5 million increase in loans
to individuals. Investment securities at March 31, 2000, totaled $671 million as
compared to $656 million at year-end 1999 and $634 million at March 31, 1999.
The net unrealized gain in the investment portfolio at March 31, 2000, amounted
to $13.8 million. With an overall yield of 6.26%, the investment portfolio
continues to provide a positive contribution to the Company's earnings. At March
31, 2000, the Company did not hold any CMOs that entail higher risks
-10-
than standard mortgage-backed securities. Total investment securities at March
31, 2000, included structured notes with an amortized cost of $2.0 million and
an approximate market value of $1.9 million. Total deposits at March 31, 2000,
amounted to $1.500 billion as compared to $1.525 billion at year-end 1999 and
$1.490 billion at March 31, 1999. The decrease from December 31, 1999, is
considered seasonal and not indicative of a downward trend in total deposits.
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2000, totaled $1.9 million as compared to $2.1
million at December 31, 1999. The decrease resulted primarily from a $288
thousand decrease in nonaccrual loans. At .24% of loans plus foreclosed assets,
Management considers nonperforming assets to be at a manageable level and is
unaware of any material classified credit not properly disclosed as
nonperforming.
Liquidity and Capital
- ---------------------
The Company's consolidated statements of cash flows are presented on page 8 of
this report. At March 31, 2000, the parent company had no debt outstanding under
its $25 million line of credit with an unaffiliated financial institution. Total
equity capital amounted to $182.4 million at March 31, 2000, which was up from
$178.7 million at year-end 1999 and $172.2 million at March 31, 1999. The
Company's risk-based capital and leverage ratios at March 31, 2000, were 18.60%
and 9.93%, respectively. The first quarter 2000 cash dividend of $0.30 per share
totaled $3.0 million and represented 44.4% of first quarter earnings. On April
25, 2000, the Company declared a $0.33 per share cash dividend payable July 1,
2000.
Interest Rate Risk
- ------------------
Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. The
Company's exposure to interest rate risk is managed primarily through the
Company's strategy of selecting the types and terms of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities which generate favorable earnings, while
limiting the potential negative effects of changes in market interest rates. The
Company uses no off-balance-sheet financial instruments to manage interest rate
risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability committee which monitors
interest rate risk and compliance with investment policies. Interest-sensitivity
gap and simulation analyses are among the ways that the subsidiary banks track
interest rate risk. Since year-end 1999, there has been no material change in
the Company's interest rate risk.
-11-
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk for
the Company. See "Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" for disclosure regarding this market risk.
The Company has procedures to monitor market risk and has determined that no
material changes in market risk have occurred since December 31, 1999.
