     Alabama National BanCorporation Announces Third Quarter 2004 Earnings

    BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2004--Alabama National
BanCorporation ("ANB") (NASDAQ:ALAB) today announced record earnings
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
    For the quarter, ANB reported earnings of $14.7 million, up 39.0%
from the 2003 third quarter. Diluted earnings per share of $0.86 were
up 7.5% from the year ago quarter. Cash earnings per diluted share of
$0.90 were up 9.5% from the 2003 third quarter. Third quarter 2004
return on average equity was 11.77% and return on average assets was
1.15%, compared to third quarter 2003 ratios of 15.55% and 1.12%,
respectively. Average equity and average assets were both higher in
the 2004 third quarter as compared to the year ago quarter by
approximately $120.8 million in intangible assets associated with the
Cypress Bank and Indian River National Bank acquisitions completed
during February 2004 and the Coquina Bank acquisition completed in
July 2004. Third quarter 2004 return on average tangible equity and
return on average tangible assets were 17.19% and 1.19%, respectively.
    Net revenue, defined as net interest income plus noninterest
income (excluding securities gains or losses and asset disposition
gains or losses), grew to $62.2 million in the 2004 third quarter, up
19.6% from $52.1 million in the year ago quarter. Net revenue per
diluted share in the 2004 third quarter was down 7.5% from the year
ago quarter due to a 15.1% decline in noninterest income and an
increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding. Within
noninterest income, investment services revenue and revenue from the
sale of mortgages declined 41.1% and 47.9%, respectively, from the
levels of the 2003 third quarter. Noninterest income (excluding
securities gains or losses and asset disposition gains or losses)
represented 29.9% of total third quarter 2004 net revenue, as compared
with 40.3% in the 2003 third quarter.
    Year-to-date earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
were $39.3 million, an increase of 29.7% over the $30.3 million in
earnings reported for the same period in 2003. Diluted earnings per
share for the 2004 nine months of $2.50 were up 6.5% from the $2.35
reported in the 2003 nine months. Cash earnings per diluted share were
$2.60 for the 2004 nine months, an 8.5% increase over the $2.39 earned
in the first nine months of 2003.
    "We are pleased to report these third quarter results for Alabama
National," said John H. Holcomb, III, Chairman and CEO. "Our employees
have delivered strong loan and deposit growth, and we are excited
about the opportunities we face in our markets. We are particularly
proud of our excellent employees in the coastal markets impacted by
the four hurricanes that hit the region during the quarter. They
confirmed our belief about their dedication to their customers and to
the company through their performance during a very difficult time."
    During the 2004 third quarter, ANB completed an underwritten
offering of common stock, issuing a total of 977,500 shares including
the underwriters' 15% over-allotment option. ANB raised approximately
$49.7 million in net proceeds through this offering.
    Total assets at quarter end of $5.14 billion were up 33.5% from
September 30, 2003's $3.85 billion, driven largely by the acquisitions
of Cypress Bank, Indian River National Bank, and Coquina Bank in 2004.
In addition to the growth through acquisitions, the company's organic
growth continued at a solid rate, with 13.0% annualized loan growth
since year-end 2003, excluding the three 2004 acquisitions. Annualized
loan growth for the third quarter (excluding the third quarter
acquisition of Coquina Bank) was 14.8% over June 30, 2004 balances.
Deposits grew 32.1% to $3.63 billion at September 30, 2004, compared
to $2.75 billion at September 30, 2003, also largely due to the recent
acquisitions. Quarter-end share owners' equity was $521.2 million, or
$30.70 per share, and tangible book value per share was $21.44.
    During the 2004 third quarter, ANB recognized $574 thousand in net
charge-offs, representing 0.07% of average loans on an annualized
basis. On a year-to-date basis, net charge-offs of $1.7 million
represent a 0.07% annualized rate. Quarter-end nonperforming assets of
$9.9 million were 0.29% of period end loans and other real estate. The
allowance for loan losses covered nonperforming loans 556%.

    This press release contains financial information determined by
methods other than in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP"). These "non-GAAP" financial measures are "net
revenue" (net revenue per share), "cash earnings" (cash earnings per
share), "tangible book value" (tangible book value per share), "return
on average tangible equity" and "return on average tangible assets."
ANB's management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of ANB's
performance. Net revenue is defined as the sum of net interest income
plus noninterest income, less any gains or losses from securities
sales or asset dispositions. ANB's management believes this measure is
useful as an indicator of the company's revenue-generating ability.
Gains and losses from securities sales and asset dispositions are
excluded from this figure because they are viewed as non-recurring and
transactional in nature and could distort the measure. Net revenue per
diluted share is defined as net revenue divided by diluted common
shares outstanding. Cash earnings is defined as net income plus
amortization expense (net of tax) applicable to intangible assets that
do not qualify as regulatory capital. Cash earnings per basic and
diluted share is defined as cash earnings divided by basic and diluted
common shares outstanding. ANB's management includes cash earnings
measures to compare the company's earnings exclusive of non-cash
amortization expense and because it is a measure used by many
investors as part of their analysis of ANB's performance. Tangible
book value is defined as total equity reduced by recorded intangible
assets. Tangible book value per share is defined as tangible book
value divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is
important to many investors in the marketplace that are interested in
changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of
changes in intangible assets. Goodwill, an intangible asset that is
recorded in a purchase business combination, has the effect of
increasing total book value while not increasing the tangible assets
of the company. For companies such as Alabama National that have
engaged in multiple business combinations purchase accounting requires
the recording of significant amounts of goodwill related to such
transactions. Return on average tangible equity is defined as
annualized earnings for the period divided by average equity reduced
by average goodwill and other intangible assets. Return on average
tangible assets is defined as annualized earnings for the period
divided by average assets reduced by average goodwill and other
intangible assets. ANB's management includes these measures because it
believes that they are important when measuring the Company's
performance exclusive of the effects of goodwill and other intangibles
recorded in recent acquisitions, and these measures are used by many
investors as part of their analysis of ANB. These disclosures should
not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance
with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance
measures which may be presented by other companies. Refer to the
"Reconciliation Table" in the attached schedules for a more detailed
analysis of these non-GAAP performance measures and the most directly
comparable GAAP measures.
    This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined
by federal securities laws. Statements contained in this press release
which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These
statements may address issues that involve significant risks,
uncertainties, estimates and assumptions made by management. ANB
undertakes no obligation to update these statements following the date
of this press release. In addition, ANB, through its senior
management, may make from time to time forward-looking public
statements concerning the matters described herein. Such
forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the
best judgment of ANB's senior management based upon current
information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Certain
factors which could affect the accuracy of such forward-looking
statements are identified in the public filings made by ANB with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and forward looking statements
contained in this press release or in other public statements of ANB
or its senior management should be considered in light of those
factors. There can be no assurance that such factors or other factors
will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements.

        income tax purposes of interest expense related to certain
        tax-exempt assets.

    (1) Average loans include nonaccrual loans. All loans and deposits
        are domestic.

    (2) Tax equivalent adjustments are based on the assumed rate of
        34%, and do not give effect to the disallowance for Federal
        income tax purposes of interest expense related to certain
        tax-exempt assets.
