  Greene County Banchares Reports Fourth Quarter Diluted EPS up 33%

         2006 Marks Sixth Consecutive Year of Record Earnings


    GREENEVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 22, 2007--Greene
County Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: GCBS) today reported a strong finish
to 2006, with earnings per diluted share up 33% for the fourth
quarter. Driven by higher net interest income and significant growth
in non-interest income - and underpinned by improving credit quality
trends - the Company's fourth quarter results enabled Greene County
Bancshares to post its sixth consecutive year of record earnings.

    Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased to $5,174,000,
up 35% from $3,838,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005. On a diluted per
share basis, earnings totaled $0.52 for the fourth quarter, an
increase of 33% from $0.39 reported for the fourth quarter of 2005.
For the full year 2006, net income reached $21,262,000 versus
$14,163,000 for 2005, an increase of over 50%. On a diluted per share
basis, earnings for 2006 totaled $2.14, rising 25% from $1.71 in the
same period a year ago.

    Commenting on the Company's announcement, Stan Puckett, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, said, "As our reported results indicate,
our company made significant progress during 2006 in terms of new
business development and ongoing market penetration across virtually
all of our markets. Programs to increase loan volume and build our
deposit base have been successful, translating into significant
organic balance sheet growth during the year. This, coupled with
improved net interest margins and steady improvements in our asset
quality measures, provided continued momentum for revenue and earnings
growth in 2006 - easily the most growth we have witnessed in the last
six years of record results."

    Return on Average Assets (ROA) improved notably compared with the
year-earlier period. The Company's ROA was 1.20% in the fourth quarter
of 2006 compared with 0.98% in the year-earlier quarter. Return on
Average Equity (ROE) increased to 11.16% in the fourth quarter of 2006
from 9.10% in the fourth quarter of 2005. Return on Average Tangible
Equity (average shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible
assets) (ROTE) was 14.10% in the fourth quarter of 2006 versus 11.65%
in the year-earlier quarter. For the year, ROA increased to 1.28% from
1.02% for 2005, while ROE increased to 11.91% from 11.09% for 2005.
ROTE for 2006 was 15.25% versus 14.04% for 2005.

    Puckett noted that quarterly loan growth remained healthy
throughout 2006, with the Company's loan portfolio rising
approximately 12% over 2005, underscoring the economic strength of the
Company's key markets. At the same time, credit quality remained
strong, as non-performing loans relative to total loans declined to
0.23% at year's end, down from 0.49% at the end of 2005. Net
charge-offs for 2006 were 0.20% of average total loans versus 0.32% in
2005.

    The net interest margin was 4.66% for the current quarter,
dropping just one basis point from net interest margin of 4.67% in the
year-earlier period. For the full year, net interest margin increased
16 basis points to 4.77% from 4.61% in 2005. Improved margins for the
full year 2006, achieved against challenging competitive and interest
rate environments, reflected the Company's ongoing efforts to optimize
its funding mix. Despite this progress, some margin compression did
occur during the fourth quarter as the yield curve continued to
invert. Puckett commented that the Company was able to overcome the
impact of this challenging interest rate environment through continued
initiatives to increase non-interest income associated with its High
Performance Checking product.

    Greene County Bancshares continued to focus on controlling
expenses as it expanded its business and market reach. The Company's
efficiency ratio was 58.73% in the fourth quarter, an improvement from
61.21% in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the full year, the Company's
efficiency ratio was 56.91% versus 60.29% for 2005.

    Net interest income for the fourth quarter increased 10% to
$18,468,000 from $16,839,000 in the year-earlier period, driven by a
12% increase in average loans outstanding between the periods. The
quarter's provision for loan losses was $1,538,000, down from
$1,979,000 in the fourth quarter of last year and reflecting ongoing
improvements in asset quality. Net interest income for the year
increased 22% to $71,957,000 compared with $58,786,000 for 2005,
bolstered by a 16% increase in organic average loans outstanding,
excluding the Clarksville branch acquisition. The Company's provision
for loan losses declined 13% to $5,507,000 in 2006 from $6,365,000 in
the prior year.

    Non-interest income increased 34% in the fourth quarter to
$5,804,000 from $4,321,000 in the same quarter last year, while
non-interest income for 2006 rose 41% to $20,778,000 from $14,756,000
in 2005. These advances reflected the ongoing positive impact of the
Company's High Performance Checking Account product, a key strategic
initiative. Fourth quarter "net" new checking accounts opened totaled
3,486 compared with 1,830 during the same quarter last year, an
increase of over 90%. This momentum has helped drive non-interest
income to 22% of total revenue in 2006, up from 20% in 2005.

    Non-interest expenses totaled $14,255,000 in the fourth quarter,
up $1,303,000 or 10% over the same period a year ago and driven by
additional formula-based incentive accruals and OREO-related expenses.
For the full year 2006, non-interest expenses totaled $52,776,000
compared with $44,340,000 in 2005. Current year's expenses include the
normal incremental operating expenses of $2,643,000 associated with
the Company's purchase of five Clarksville branches in October 2005.

    Puckett concluded, "Although we believe that 2007 will be a
challenging year, we anticipate that earnings will continue to
increase as we strengthen our position within our existing markets and
further expand into adjacent markets."

    At December 31, 2006, the Company's total assets increased 9% to
$1,772,654,000 from $1,619,989,000 at December 31, 2005. Net loans
increased 12% to $1,539,629,000 at December 31, 2006, from
$1,378,642,000 at December 31, 2005. Deposits rose 3% to
$1,332,505,000 at December 31, 2006, from $1,295,879,000 at
December 31, 2005. Total shareholders' equity increased 10% to
$184,471,000 at December 31, 2006, versus $168,021,000 at
December 31, 2005.
