PINNACLE FINANCIAL REPORTS CONTINUED RAPID GROWTH
WITH EARNINGS OF $0.10 PER SHARE AND
$348 MILLION IN ASSETS FOR FIRST QUARTER OF 2003
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 14, 2003 - Pinnacle Financial Partners Inc.
(Nasdaq: PNFP), the holding company for Pinnacle National Bank, today reported
net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, of $373,000, or $0.10 per
diluted share, compared to a net income of $45,000, or $0.02 per diluted share
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, an increase of 400 percent.
Total assets grew to $348 million as of March 31, 2003, up 82 percent
from the $192 million reported at March 31, 2002 and up $43 million from
December 31, 2002. Total assets at March 31, 2003, include approximately $329
million in earning assets or 95 percent of total assets. Deposits in the first
quarter rose to $267 million at March 31, 2003, a 78 percent increase from $150
million in deposits at March 31, 2002 and up $33 million from December 31, 2002.
"We continue to be pleased with the company's growth in both earnings
and assets," said M. Terry Turner, president and CEO of Pinnacle Financial
Partners. "Many of Nashville's most respected companies are moving their banking
relationships to Pinnacle as a result of our record of distinctive service,
effective financial advice and their desire to deal with local decision makers."
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2003 was $2.6 million,
compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2002. The net interest margin
for the first quarter of 2003 was 3.5 percent, compared to a net interest margin
of 4.1 percent for the first quarter of 2002.
The provision for loan losses was $288,000 for the first quarter of
2003, compared to $209,000 for the first quarter of 2002. The allowance for loan
losses represented 1.25 percent of total loans at March 31, 2003.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2003 was $462,000, compared
to $292,000 for the first quarter of 2002. For the first quarter of 2003
noninterest income represented approximately 15 percent of total revenues (net
interest income and noninterest income).
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2003 was $2.2 million,
compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2002. The efficiency ratio for
the first quarter of 2003 improved to 72 percent, compared to 86 percent for the
first quarter of 2002.
During the first quarter of 2003, Pinnacle continued its focus on those
factors which have contributed to its early successes while also investing in
four new initiatives to broaden its reach into the greater Nashville market,
including:
- Deepening the company's talent by continuing to recruit
experienced individuals in the Nashville market with strong
client relationships and the ability to provide distinctive
service and effective financial advice. During the first
quarter of 2003, the company increased its employee base by
20% and anticipates continued hiring of market proven
professionals during the remainder of this year.
- Launching our new home mortgage origination unit in January.
- Completing construction of a new office in the Rivergate
area of Davidson County which opened in April of 2003. This
brings the company's total number of locations to four in the
metropolitan Nashville market.
- Finalizing the acquisition of property in the Cool Springs
area in Williamson County for an office scheduled to open in
late fall or winter of this year.
Based on these incremental investments, anticipated growth trends and
the anticipated results from these trends, Pinnacle Financial Partners estimates
its second quarter 2003 diluted earnings per share will approximate $0.12 to
$0.14. Additionally, diluted earnings per share for the year ending December 31,
2003, are currently estimated to be $0.55 to $0.65. Management has developed
several scenarios under which these estimates can be achieved and believes these
estimates to be reasonable based on these scenarios. However, unanticipated
events or developments may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
of Pinnacle Financial Partners to differ materially from these estimates.

(2) Net interest margin is the result of net interest income on a tax
equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets.
(3) Total revenue is equal to the sum of net interest income and
noninterest income.
(4) Average risk ratings are based on an internal loan review system which
assigns a numeric value of 1 to 10 to all loans to commercial entities
based on their underlying risk characteristics as of the end of each
quarter. A "1" risk rating is assigned to credits that exhibit
Excellent risk characteristics, "2" exhibit Very Good risk
characteristics, "3" Good, "4" Satisfactory, "5" Acceptable or Average,
"6" Watch List, "7" Criticized, "8" Classified or Substandard, "9"
Doubtful and "10" Loss (which are charged-off immediately). Loans rated
"8" or worse are considered potential problem credits. Generally,
consumer loans are not subjected to internal risk ratings.
(5) Computed by dividing the balance of all loans by the number of loan
accounts as of the end of each quarter.
(6) At market value, based on information obtained from the company's third
party broker/dealer for non-FDIC insured financial products and
services.
(7) Associate retention rate is computed by dividing the number of
associates employed at quarter-end less the number of associates that
have resigned in the last 12 months by the number of associates
employed at quarter-end.
