               Greene County Bancshares Reports Record
     Quarterly Earnings, up 10%, and Continued Strong Loan Growth


    GREENEVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 12, 2007--Greene County
Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: GCBS) today announced higher earnings and
solid operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Net income increased to $5,616,000 or $0.57 per diluted share, up 10%
from $5,096,000 or $0.52 per diluted share in the first quarter of
2006. Balance sheet highlights included strong organic growth in the
Company's loan portfolio, continued improvement in credit quality, and
higher deposits.

    Return on Average Assets (ROA) was 1.26% in the first quarter of
2007 compared with 1.20% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 1.27% in
the year-earlier quarter. Return on Average Equity (ROE) increased to
11.93% in the first quarter of 2007, up from 11.16% in the fourth
quarter of 2006 and 11.86% in the year-earlier period. Return on
Average Tangible Equity (ROTE) (average shareholders' equity less
goodwill and intangible assets) was 14.99% in the first quarter of
2007 versus 14.10% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 15.41% last year.

    Commenting on the Company's announcement, Stan Puckett, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased to report a
solid start in 2007, maintaining the momentum we achieved last year.
Key drivers for our financial success in the first quarter included
continued improvement in our credit quality, outstanding loan growth,
and higher non-interest income. Strategically, we announced and
implemented the rebranding of all of our banking operations under the
GreenBank name - a change that has been well accepted by our
customers, and we are enthusiastic about the value this action will
bring to our company in the months and years ahead. On the other hand,
we had hoped to achieve greater efficiencies in our operations during
the quarter and make better headway in improving our efficiency ratio,
which remains a priority for us. Recently, we took further steps to
reduce non-interest expense going forward, and we hope to see tangible
results from these efforts later in the year."

    Net interest income for the first quarter increased by almost 10%
to $18,821,000 from $17,186,000 in the year-earlier period, driven by
a 13% increase in average loans outstanding between the periods. On a
linked-quarter basis, the Company's net interest margin improved four
basis points to 4.70% in the first quarter of 2007, while, on a
year-over-year basis, net interest margin declined 10 basis points
from 4.80% in the first quarter of 2006, reflecting a changing and
challenging interest rate environment. The Company's provision for
loan losses was $974,000 in the first quarter of 2007, down from
$1,064,000 in the first quarter of last year as a result of ongoing
improvements in asset quality.

    Non-interest income increased 14% in the first quarter to
$5,399,000 from $4,755,000 in the same quarter last year. This advance
reflected the ongoing positive impact of the Company's High
Performance Checking Account product - a key strategic initiative.
First quarter "net" new checking accounts opened totaled 4,025
compared with 2,996 during the same quarter last year, an increase of
over 34%.

    Non-interest expenses totaled $14,042,000 in the first quarter, up
$1,336,000 or 11% over $12,706,000 in the same period a year ago. The
Company's efficiency ratio improved 75 basis points to 57.98% in the
first quarter from 58.73% in the fourth quarter of 2006, and was 43
basis points higher versus 57.55% in the first quarter of 2006 due to
continued expansion initiatives throughout 2006.

    Puckett concluded, "Outside the financial and operational success
we registered in the first quarter, the most important event for the
Company was the announcement of the proposed acquisition of Civitas
BankGroup, through which we will acquire Civitas and its 12 Middle
Tennessee branches. We expect that this merger, which should be
completed later in the second quarter, will add significant momentum
to our expansion efforts in the Nashville Metropolitan Statistical
Area and position us for further growth in this fast-growing market."

    At March 31, 2007, the Company's total assets increased 14% to
$1,827,634,000 from $1,608,240,000 at March 31, 2006, and up 3% from
$1,772,654,000 at December 31, 2006. Net loans increased 14% to
$1,603,281,000 at March 31, 2007, from $1,404,627,000 at
March 31, 2006, and up 4% from $1,539,629,000 at December 31, 2006.
Deposits rose 8% to $1,390,442,000 at March 31, 2007, from
$1,285,738,000 at March 31, 2006, and up 4% from $1,332,505,000 at
December 31, 2006. Total shareholders' equity increased 10% to
$189,997,000 at March 31, 2007, versus $172,317,000 at March 31, 2006,
and up 3% from $184,471,000 at December 31, 2006.
