BANCORPSOUTH, INC. ANNOUNCES EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHARE OF $0.32
FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2004
TUPELO, Miss., January 25, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
BancorpSouth, Inc. (NYSE: BXS) today announced financial results for the fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2004.
Highlights of the fourth quarter included:
o The first sequential-quarter improvement in net interest margin in
the last five quarters.
o The third consecutive comparable-quarter increase in loans net of
unearned discount.
o A significant reduction in the provision for credit losses due to
improved credit quality.
o An increase in the quarterly cash dividend from $0.18 to $0.19 per
share.
o The completion of the acquisitions of Premier Bancorp, Inc., the
holding company for Premier Bank of Brentwood, Tennessee, and Business
Holding Corporation, the holding company for The Business Bank of Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, enhancing BancorpSouth's presence in two of the
South's most dynamic markets.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $24.6 million, or $0.32 per basic
and diluted share. Included in the results for the fourth quarter of 2004 is a
net negative impact of $0.01 per diluted share from a $305,000 reversal of a
previously recorded charge for impairment of the Company's mortgage servicing
asset and $1.5 million in net securities losses. Net income for the fourth
quarter of 2003 was $28.9 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share.
Included in the results for the fourth quarter of 2003 is a positive impact of
$0.03 per diluted share from a $3.8 million reversal of previously recorded
impairment charges against the Company's mortgage servicing asset and $40,000 in
net securities gains.
Net income for 2004 was $110.6 million, or $1.44 and $1.43 per basic and diluted
share, respectively. Included in the results for 2004 is a net positive impact
of $0.04 per diluted share from a $5.1 million reversal of previously recorded
impairment charges against the Company's mortgage servicing asset and $661,000
in net securities losses. Net income for 2003 was
- MORE -
$131.1 million, or $1.69 and $1.68 per basic and diluted share, respectively.
Included in the results for 2003 is a positive impact of $0.15 per diluted share
from a $5.7 million reversal of previously recorded impairment charges against
the Company's mortgage servicing asset and $13.8 million in net securities
gains.
Aubrey Patterson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BancorpSouth,
commented, "BancorpSouth's financial performance for the fourth quarter and full
year of 2004 reflected the challenges we faced during the year resulting from
rising short-term interest rates, both in terms of managing our asset/liability
mix and the expected significant reduction in mortgage originations. However, we
were solidly profitable for the quarter and the year, and we completed 2004
encouraged by a number of emerging trends.
"For instance, although we remain liability-sensitive to rising interest rates
over the short-term, the sequential-quarter increase in net interest margin is a
positive step toward reversing a steady decline in the net interest margin over
nearly three years. In addition, an improving economic environment has driven
double-digit loan growth in a number of our markets, such as South Mississippi,
Little Rock, Nashville, Shreveport and Jackson, Tennessee, and contributed to an
increased loan portfolio for four consecutive quarters. We also have continued
to produce solid organic growth from our insurance operations, further
validating our strategy to diversify our revenue. Finally, the completion of the
acquisitions of Premier Bank of Brentwood and The Business Bank of Baton Rouge
on the last day of 2004 positions us to leverage the substantial growth momentum
evident in those markets."
Net Interest Revenue
Interest revenue for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $126.3 million, a slight
increase from $126.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 and an increase of
1.4 percent from $124.5 million for the third quarter of 2004. Interest expense
for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $42.6 million, a 6.1 percent increase from
$40.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 and a 2.5 percent increase from
$41.5 million for the third quarter of 2004.
The average taxable equivalent yield on earning assets was 5.25 percent for the
fourth quarter of 2004, a decline from 5.39 percent for the fourth quarter of
2003 and an increase from 5.17 percent for the third quarter of 2004. The
average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 2.07 percent for the
fourth quarter of 2004, compared with 1.99 percent for both the fourth quarter
of 2003 and the third quarter of 2004.
Net interest revenue was $83.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, a
decrease of 2.8 percent from $86.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 and an
increase of 0.9 percent from $83.0 million for the third quarter of 2004. Net
interest margin declined to 3.51 percent for the fourth quarter of 2004 from
3.70 percent for the fourth quarter of 2003 and increased from 3.48 percent for
the third quarter of 2004.
Patterson said, "As is evident from the comparable-quarter increase in average
rates paid on liabilities and decline in average taxable equivalent yield on
assets, we expect that our liability sensitivity to increasing interest rates
will continue to pressure net interest margin during 2005.
- MORE -
However, the sequential-quarter improvement in net interest margin reflects our
strong and effective focus on managing our mix of assets and liabilities through
high quality, appropriately priced lending and careful pricing of liabilities."
Deposit and Loan Activity
Total assets increased 5.3 percent to $10.8 billion at December 31, 2004, from
$10.3 billion at December 31, 2003. Total deposits rose 5.3 percent to $9.1
billion at December 31, 2004, from $8.6 billion at December 31, 2003. Loans, net
of unearned discount, increased 9.7 percent to $6.8 billion at December 31,
2004, from $6.2 billion at December 31, 2003.
"The comparability of the 2004 year-end balances is affected by the consummation
of the two bank acquisitions on December 31, 2004," remarked Patterson. "Our
organic growth in loans, net of unearned discount, for the fourth quarter was
5.2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2003 and our organic growth in deposits
was 2.3 percent, with low interest rate demand deposits increasing 6.8 percent
and savings and other time deposits declining 1.2 percent. We are pleased that
our rate of comparable-quarter organic loan growth has now increased for three
consecutive quarters, even as we have again demonstrated through our increased
Nashville and Baton Rouge presence our ability to complement our organic growth
through strategic acquisitions."
Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses decreased 31.7 percent to $5.1 million for the
fourth quarter of 2004 from $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 and
increased 44.6 percent from $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2004.
Annualized net charge-offs were 0.32 percent of average loans for the fourth
quarter of 2004, compared to 0.38 percent for fourth quarter of 2003 and 0.25
percent for the third quarter of 2004.
Non-performing loans decreased 33.9 percent to $34.0 million, or 0.50 percent of
loans, at December 31, 2004, from $51.4 million, or 0.83 percent of loans, at
December 31, 2003, and decreased 7.3 percent from $36.7 million, or 0.56 percent
of loans, at September 30, 2004. The allowance for credit losses was 1.34
percent of loans at December 31, 2004, compared with 1.48 percent of loans at
December 31, 2003, and 1.38 percent of loans at September 30, 2004.
Patterson added, "We are very pleased with the improvements in credit quality
throughout 2004 and with our positioning for 2005. Because of significant
improvements in our nonperforming loans, we completed 2004 with an increase in
reserve coverage of nonperforming loans to a multiple of 2.7 from 1.8 at the end
of 2003 and 2.5 at the end of the third quarter of 2004, despite
comparable-quarter reductions in the provision for credit losses for each
quarter of the year. This performance at a time of steadily improving loan
demand is a tribute to both our commitment to a culture of strong credit quality
and the outstanding performance of the BancorpSouth team in strengthening this
culture on a daily basis."
Noninterest Revenue
Noninterest revenue was $43.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, a 9.0
percent decrease from $48.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 and a 3.3
percent increase from $42.3 million
- MORE -
for the third quarter of 2004. As discussed above, these results include a $1.5
million net securities loss for the fourth quarter of 2004 compared with a
$40,000 net securities gain for the fourth quarter of 2003. This loss primarily
relates to an other-than-temporary non-cash, impairment charge for certain
investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock. In addition, fourth
quarter results reflect a reversal of a previously recorded charge for
impairment of the Company's mortgage servicing asset related to a decline in
mortgage interest rates of $305,000 for the fourth quarter of 2004 and $3.8
million for the fourth quarter of 2003.
"The continued growth in our insurance commissions during the fourth quarter has
demonstrated our efforts to reduce our interest-rate spread dependence by
diversifying our revenue through noninterest revenue products and services,"
said Patterson. "We are pleased with the 9.0 percent organic growth in insurance
commissions for the fourth quarter of 2004. This growth helped offset the impact
of the anticipated decline in mortgage originations for the fourth quarter to
$125.2 million from $140.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2003. As a result
of rising mortgage interest rates during 2004, mortgage originations for the
full year declined to $575.9 million compared with the record $1.2 billion
originated for 2003."
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $87.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, a 3.7
percent increase from $84.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 and a 3.5
percent increase from $85.0 million for the third quarter of 2004. Rising
salaries and employee benefits related to growth in insurance commissions and
increased occupancy costs related to the opening of new branch offices accounted
for much of the increase.
Capital Management
BancorpSouth repurchased 41,900 shares of its common stock during the fourth
quarter of 2004 under a stock repurchase plan authorized in April 2003 for the
repurchase of up to 3.9 million shares. A total of 2,047,008 shares had been
purchased under this plan at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004. Combined
with the 8.3 million shares repurchased under earlier plans, BancorpSouth had
repurchased approximately 10.3 million shares of its common stock as of December
31, 2004. BancorpSouth will continue to evaluate additional share repurchases
under the April 2003 plan, which authorizes these repurchases during a two-year
period expiring April 30, 2005.
Summary
Patterson concluded, "Although we enter 2005 facing near-term challenges related
to enhancing our net interest margin, we are confident of the continuing
potential of the BancorpSouth business model to produce consistent long-term
profitable growth. We remain firmly committed to the key elements of this
business model, which include providing community bank-style service, backed by
sophisticated products and infrastructure; diversifying our revenue and creating
stronger customer relationships through the growth of noninterest revenue
products and services; adhering to conservative lending and credit policies
designed to build strong credit quality; expanding in targeted growth markets
either within or contiguous to our existing six state franchise; and pursuing
selective acquisitions to complement our organic growth strategies.
- MORE -
In addition to building shareholder value through this business model, we have
also consistently repurchased our stock under our repurchase authorizations over
the last four years and, in October, we announced an increased level of cash
dividends for the 21st consecutive year."
