CENTURA BANKS INC. REPORTS 20% INCREASE IN 2nd QUARTER EARNINGS
ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. - Centura Banks Inc. (NYSE:CBC) today announced that
net income for the second quarter of 1998 increased 20.4 percent to $24.1
million, compared to $20.0 million for the comparable quarter in 1997. Diluted
earnings per share increased to $0.89 in the second quarter of 1998 compared to
$0.76 in the same quarter last year.
Centura's strong results for the second quarter of 1998 produced a
return on average equity of 16.50 percent and a return on average assets of 1.28
percent, compared to prior year ratios of 16.00 percent and 1.24 percent,
respectively.
For the first half of 1998, net income increased 22.9 percent to $46.5
million, or $1.74 per diluted share from $1.44 for the same period last year.
Also, return on average assets was 1.28 percent, while return on average equity
rose 97 basis points to 16.40 percent.
Centura maintained momentum in the second quarter of 1998, increasing
earnings by 7.0 percent over first quarter. These results were led by a 6.1
percent increase in noninterest revenue, principally in fees from financial
services business lines, mortgage income and deposit fees.
"Second quarter results reflect the continuing successful
implementation of Centura's strategic plan," said Cecil W. Sewell, Centura
chairman and chief executive officer. "Higher
loan volumes and the substantial increase in noninterest income are the
direct result of the development of targeted financial services and
alternative delivery channels that address the needs of our customers."
Since year end 1997, loans have grown 7.8 percent to $4.9 billion
which, when coupled with a stable net interest margin, have contributed to total
revenue growth for the first half of 1998. Without loans acquired through
Centura's merger in March with Pee Dee State Bank, loans have grown an
annualized 11.6 percent this year, principally in commercial loans.
During the quarter Centura opened an additional five financial offices
in Hannaford supermarkets, bringing the total number of supermarket offices to
30. Also during this period Centura agreed to purchase four in-store financial
offices in Kroger supermarkets in Winston-Salem and Kernersville.
With assets of $7.6 billion, Centura provides a complete line of
banking, investment, leasing, insurance and trust services to individuals and
businesses throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and the Hampton Roads
region of Virginia. Centura offers its customers a variety of delivery channels,
including over 200 financial services offices; more than 300 ATMs; its Centura
Highway telephone banking center; Centura's Internet site; and through leading
online money management software packages.
Additional information about Centura's financial performance, products
and services is available on its website at www.centura.com.
