    Green Bankshares Reports Record Third Quarter Earnings, up 23%

    GREENEVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2007--Green
Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRNB), the second largest bank holding
company headquartered in the State of Tennessee, today announced
record earnings for the third quarter and nine-month period ended
September 30, 2007. On a diluted basis, third quarter 2007 earnings
increased 23% to $0.69 from $0.56 in the same quarter a year ago,
while for the first nine months, earnings rose almost 16% to $1.89
from the previous record level of $1.63 set in the comparable period
of 2006. Year-to-date earnings were affected modestly by expenses
associated with the Company's acquisition of Civitas BankGroup, which
closed during the second quarter of this year, along with costs
incurred in connection with the strategic initiative to re-brand all
of the Company's banking operations under the GreenBank name.

    Net income for the third quarter increased over 62% to $8,914,000
compared with $5,509,000 in the year-earlier quarter. For the current
nine-month period, earnings reached $21,616,000, up more than 34% from
$16,088,000 in the comparable 2006 period.

    Commenting on the Company's report, Stan Puckett, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with our third quarter
performance, which is the direct result of the 846 talented and
dedicated GreenBank associates. This quarter also represents the first
interim reporting period that fully reflects the Civitas acquisition
without the expenses associated with the assimilation process. These
results reflect record levels of core earnings, underscoring our
continued strong operating performance and driving solid profitability
ratios."

    For the third quarter, Return on Average Assets (ROA) improved to
1.22% from 1.21% in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 1.32% in
the third quarter of 2006. Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 11.08%
in the current quarter, down slightly from an ROE of 11.25% in the
second quarter of this year and 12.22% in the third quarter of last
year, due to the issuance of additional shares in the Civitas
acquisition.

    Puckett further noted, "With the robust organic loan growth
experienced during both the first and second quarters of this year, we
elected to curtail loan expansion during the third quarter to better
manage balance sheet growth and avoid placing undue pressure on net
interest margins. With these efforts, our loan portfolio declined
modestly from second quarter 2007 levels, but was still more than 56%
ahead of the third quarter of 2006."

    The Company's credit quality remained strong in the third quarter
as non-performing loans relative to loans, net of unearned income,
totaled 0.26% versus 0.21% in the second quarter of 2007 and 0.33% in
the year-earlier quarter. Net charge-offs in the third quarter totaled
0.07% of average loans versus 0.04% in the second quarter of 2007 and
0.15% in the year-earlier period.

    Net interest income for the third quarter increased 47% to
$27,293,000 from $18,530,000 in the year-earlier period, driven by a
59% or $863,000,000 increase in average loans outstanding versus the
third quarter last year, of which approximately $603,000,000 related
to the Company's May 2007 acquisition of Civitas. The quarter's
provision for loan losses declined 13% to $1,444,000 from $1,661,000
in the third quarter of last year, reflecting ongoing improvements in
asset quality, while the allowance for loan losses relative to loans,
net of unearned income, remained constant at 1.45%. Net interest
income increased 29% to $69,047,000 for the year-to-date period in
2007 compared with $53,489,000 in the same period last year. The
Company's provision for loan losses declined 7% to $3,677,000 in the
first nine months of 2007 from $3,969,000 in the year-earlier period.

    Net interest margin declined 15 basis points to 4.22% in the third
quarter of 2007 versus 4.37% in the second quarter of 2007 and was
down 62 basis points from 4.84% in the year-earlier quarter. Net
interest margin for the first nine months of 2007 was 4.39%, down 43
basis points from 4.82% in the same period last year. The margin
compression experienced in the second and third quarters of 2007
primarily reflects the impact of higher-cost funding associated with
deposits acquired in the Civitas transaction.

    Non-interest income increased 48% in the third quarter to
$7,688,000 from $5,191,000 in the same quarter last year, while
non-interest income for the year-to-date period rose 31% to
$19,570,000 from $14,974,000 in the comparable 2006 period. These
advances primarily reflected continued growth in the number of
customer checking accounts - 3,465 net new accounts in the third
quarter alone - in response to the Company's High Performance Checking
Account product.

    Non-interest expense totaled $19,010,000 in the third quarter, up
45% from $13,136,000 in the same period a year ago. The Company's
efficiency ratio was 54.34% in the third quarter, reflecting an
improvement from 56.80% in the second quarter of 2007 and 55.38% in
the third quarter of 2006. Non-interest expenses increased 29% to
$49,761,000 in the first nine months of 2007 from $38,521,000 in the
year-earlier period. The Company's efficiency ratio for the first nine
months of 2007 improved to 56.15% versus 56.27% for the first nine
months of 2006.

    Puckett concluded, "We expect fourth quarter earnings per diluted
share to be in the range of $0.69 to $0.71. Additionally, we
anticipate that 2008 earnings per diluted share will increase to the
range of $2.80 to $2.82."

    At September 30, 2007, the Company's total assets increased 67% to
$2,955,747,000 from $1,772,654,000 at December 31, 2006, and were 71%
ahead of the $1,727,268,000 in total assets reported as of September
30, 2006. Net loans increased 51% to $2,326,990,000 at
September 30, 2007, from $1,539,629,000 at December 31, 2006, and were
56% higher than net loans of $1,493,878,000 at September 30, 2006.
Deposits increased 52% to $2,026,665,000 at September 30, 2007, from
$1,332,505,000 at December 31, 2006, and were 63% ahead of deposits of
$1,242,810,000 as of September 30, 2006. Total shareholders' equity
increased 74% to $321,174,000 at September 30, 2007, versus
$184,471,000 at December 31, 2006, and was 77% higher than total
shareholders' equity of $181,659,000 at September 30, 2006.

(1) Average loan balances included nonaccrual loans. Interest income
 collected on nonaccrual loans has been included.

(2) Fully Taxable Equivalent ("FTE") at the rate of 35%. The FTE basis
 adjusts for the tax benefits of income on certain tax-exempt loans
 and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35% for each
 period presented. The Company believes this measure to be the
 preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides
 relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
