CENTURA BANKS INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. -- Centura Banks Inc. (NYSE:CBC) announced today
that net income for the second quarter of 1997 increased 16 percent to $20.0
million compared to $17.3 million for the same quarter last year. Fully diluted
earnings per share increased to $0.76 in the second quarter of 1997 from $0.67
in the comparable quarter of 1996.
For the first half of 1997, net income increased 9 percent to $37.9
million, or $1.44 per fully diluted share from $1.34 during the same period last
year.
Centura gained momentum in the second quarter, increasing earnings by
12 percent over the first quarter of 1997. The improvement was led by growth in
noninterest revenue, principally in brokerage, insurance and deposit fees, as
well as income from other earning assets. The efficiency ratio of 62.32 percent
for the second quarter of 1997 has continued to improve as a result of stable
noninterest expense levels, coupled with revenue growth.
"The positive results of the second quarter underscore our core
commitment to improved operating efficiency and revenue growth," commented Cecil
W. Sewell, Centura's chairman and chief executive officer. "We are realizing the
benefits from investments in technology, which are enabling us to increase
income while holding expenses relatively constant. Centura is well-positioned
for an excellent second half of 1997 as we continue to leverage the investments
of the last several years."
For the quarter, return on assets was 1.24 percent and return on equity
was 16.00 percent. Deposits and loans increased significantly over the previous
quarter and over the

comparable quarter in 1996. Deposits increased by 2 percent to $4.8 billion and
loans increased 3 percent to $4.2 billion at June 30, 1997, compared to first
quarter of 1997, while deposits and loans increased 9 percent and 5 percent
respectively over June 30, 1996. Net charge-offs were 0.26 percent of average
total loans for the quarter.
During the quarter, Centura announced its proposed acquisition of 13
offices from UCB/BB&T, expected to be completed during the third quarter. Also,
in June Centura completed its offering of $100 million of trust preferred
securities. In addition, the board of directors has authorized the repurchase of
up to 200,000 shares of common stock in the open market, related to the
anticipated exercise of stock options over the next twelve months.
With assets of $6.7 billion, Centura continues to focus on utilization
of technology and alternative delivery channels to effectively provide its
diverse line of financial services to individuals and businesses throughout
North Carolina and Virginia.
