TUPELO, Miss., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BancorpSouth, Inc.
(NYSE: BXS) today announced financial results for the quarter and
year ended December 31, 2009. Highlights of the fourth quarter
include: -- Net income of $19.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted
share, representing increases of 16 percent and 15 percent,
respectively, over the comparable period for 2008. -- Improvement
in the net interest margin to 3.83 percent, the highest quarterly
level since the first quarter of 2003. -- Increased net interest
revenue on a comparable and sequential quarter basis for three
consecutive quarters. -- Annualized net charge-offs of 1.01 percent
of average loans and leases and non-performing loans and leases of
1.48 percent of total loans and leases. Net charge-offs for the
year ended December 31, 2009 were 0.69 percent. -- Strong mortgage
originations with mortgage lending revenue, excluding mortgage
servicing rights valuation adjustment, doubling from the fourth
quarter of 2008 and increasing 46.3 percent from the third quarter
of 2009. -- A decline of 4.9 percent in noninterest expense from
the third quarter of 2009. -- Continued growth in capital levels
with common equity to assets increasing to 9.83 percent at the end
of 2009. Summary Results BancorpSouth's net income for the fourth
quarter of 2009 was $19.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share,
compared with $16.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the
fourth quarter of 2008. Net income for the year ended December 31,
2009 was $104.3 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, compared with
$120.4 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, for 2008. Aubrey
Patterson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BancorpSouth,
remarked, "BancorpSouth's fourth quarter results reflected a strong
operating performance given difficult industry conditions.
Consistent with our performance throughout 2009, we maintained
solidly profitable operations, stability in our net interest margin
at a relatively high and improving level, and strong growth in
mortgage originations. Through effective pricing and extending the
maturities of our deposit portfolio, we continued to manage our
interest rate risk. We also significantly strengthened our already
ample liquidity through reduced bank borrowings. We continued to
expand our capital in each quarter of 2009 and have now achieved 14
consecutive quarters of growth in our ratio of equity to assets on
a comparable quarter basis. "As anticipated throughout a year of
steadily declining real estate values, our credit quality continues
to be affected by a slow economy, particularly in the housing
sector. While non-performing assets and net charge-offs have
increased, both remain at manageable levels, and we continue to
focus on early identification of potential problems and work
aggressively to resolve those problems. To remain well reserved
against inherent credit losses, we continued to build the allowance
for credit losses through a fourth quarter provision for credit
losses significantly in excess of net charge offs for the quarter.
While we saw some signs of increased economic stability during the
fourth quarter, we expect real estate values to remain under
pressure in 2010. "Given the uncertain economic environment, we
also remain appropriately conservative in our plans for branch
expansion during 2010. On the other hand, we anticipate growth
through market consolidation opportunities, especially those
assisted by the FDIC. We are focused on acquiring strategic
franchises with growth potential and strong core deposits. In
addition to having the financial strength to support significant
transactions, we have a long and successful record of integrating
acquired companies with minimum market disruption, thereby
maintaining or increasing market share." Net Interest Revenue Net
interest revenue was $113.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009,
an increase of 1.5 percent from $111.3 million for the fourth
quarter of 2008 and 1.1 percent from $111.7 million for the third
quarter of 2009. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin
was 3.83 percent for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared with 3.74
percent for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 3.77 percent for the
third quarter of 2009. "With our fourth quarter results,
BancorpSouth has produced three sequential quarters of growth in
net interest revenue and increased net interest margin," continued
Patterson. "We expect this performance, as well as the stability
our operations have exhibited throughout the economic turmoil of
the last two years, to continue to differentiate BancorpSouth
favorably from industry peers. As industry year end data is
reported, we also expect to be further differentiated for having
modestly increased our loan portfolio during 2009, even though
growth opportunities were limited by the weak economy. In addition,
because of the continuing strength of our asset/liability
management strategies, our net interest margin for the fourth
quarter rose to its highest level in nearly seven years. "For the
fourth quarter of 2009, the net interest margin primarily reflected
the impact of a substantial increase in deposits, which enabled a
substantial reduction in short-term borrowings. Demand deposits
rose 10.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2009 from the fourth
quarter of 2008 and 6.9 percent from the third quarter of 2009.
Time deposits increased 9.8 percent from the fourth quarter of
2008. This deposit growth enabled us to reduce short-term
borrowings by 60.8 percent, or $1.2 billion, during 2009. We also
lengthened the average maturity of our time deposits, which rose to
13.9 months from 10.6 months at the end of 2009 and 2008,
respectively. "Our asset/liability management strategy during 2009
reflects our conservative operating principles. Steps to increase
the average maturity of our time deposits while reducing lower cost
FHLB borrowings cost us in the short term, but place us in a better
position to profitably fund balance sheet growth when that
opportunity occurs. This shift to increased deposit funding
substantially increased our liquidity, enhancing our ability to act
decisively with regard to strategic growth opportunities." Asset,
Deposit and Loan Activity Total assets at December 31, 2009 were
$13.2 billion, compared with $13.5 billion at December 31, 2008.
Total deposits were $10.7 billion at December 31, 2009, an increase
of 9.9 percent from $9.7 billion at December 31, 2008. Loans and
leases, net of unearned income, increased 0.9 percent to $9.8
billion at December 31, 2009 from $9.7 billion at December 31,
2008. Patterson said, "Unlike many banks, we were able to offset
loan runoff during 2009 with new loan production as we continued to
serve the needs of our customers. Much of our new loan growth was
produced in our newer markets, such as western Louisiana and
eastern Texas, validating the strategic expansion of our geographic
footprint. At the same time, the double-digit growth in demand
deposits for the fourth quarter demonstrated the benefits of our
focus on developing, maintaining and enhancing a strong deposit
franchise. Demand deposits increased to 54.5 percent of our funding
at the end of 2009 from 48.6 percent at the end of 2008. Because of
the strength and relative stability of the diversified markets
across our eight-state franchise, we remain confident of their
inherent growth potential as the economic cycle improves."
Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses For the
fourth quarter of 2009, the provision for credit losses was $34.7
million compared with $17.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008
and $22.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. Annualized net
charge-offs were 1.01 percent of average loans and leases for the
fourth quarter of 2009 compared with 0.57 percent for the fourth
quarter of 2008 and 0.68 percent for the third quarter of 2009.
Non-performing loans and leases increased to $145.1 million, or
1.48 percent of net loans and leases, at December 31, 2009 from
$64.0 million, or 0.66 percent of net loans and leases, at December
31, 2008 and from $111.6 million, or 1.14 percent of net loans and
leases, at September 30, 2009. The allowance for credit losses
increased to 1.58 percent of net loans and leases at December 31,
2009 compared with 1.37 percent at December 31, 2008 and 1.48
percent at September 30, 2009. "The growth in our non-performing
loans during the fourth quarter was primarily related to real
estate loans in our more urban markets," added Patterson. "Many of
these loans reflect the cumulative pressure that the extended
economic downturn in these markets has had on established customers
that were performing well prior to and earlier in the downturn. As
the increase in net charge-offs indicates, we took decisive action
when warranted. This action included making a significant provision
for credit losses for the fourth quarter. At the end of 2009, our
allowance for credit losses was 1.1 times total non-performing
loans and 1.6 times annualized fourth quarter net charge-offs."
Noninterest Revenue Noninterest revenue was $64.5 million for the
fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 60.9 percent from $40.1
million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 3.2 percent from $62.5
million for the third quarter of 2009. Results for the fourth
quarter of 2009 included a $1.6 million increase in the value of
BancorpSouth's mortgage servicing rights (MSR) compared with a
$15.0 million decline for the fourth quarter of 2008 and a $2.7
million decline for the third quarter of 2009. Results for the
fourth quarter of 2008 also included an $8.6 million write down of
other than temporary impairment of certain investments in pooled
trust preferred securities. Patterson commented, "At 36.4 percent
of total revenue for the fourth quarter, noninterest revenue again
provided significant diversification of our revenue streams,
mitigating any potential impact of interest rate volatility on our
inherently spread dependent business. We were very pleased with the
strong performance of our mortgage business. Mortgage lending
revenue, excluding changes in the MSR valuation, increased 149.5
percent to $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 from $2.8
million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 46.3 percent from $4.8
million for the third quarter of 2009. We have continued to invest
in this business line throughout 2009 through the addition of
proven mortgage originators. "All our mortgages are originated
within our eight-state franchise by BancorpSouth originators, who
typically work in our branch bank offices. The borrowers are either
existing or potential customers for our other services and nearly
40 percent of these customers make their monthly mortgage payment
in our branch bank offices. Consistent with our strong service
culture, we retain mortgage servicing rights to these mortgages to
provide an outstanding service experience for these customers. "The
increase in our mortgage originations contributed significantly to
the growth in mortgage lending revenue for the fourth quarter of
2009, which was especially notable after the record refinancing
volume during the first half of the year. We expect our strategy
will support additional growth as the real estate market recovers.
"Growth for some of our noninterest revenue products and services
was challenging in the current environment. Specifically, we
experienced soft insurance market conditions during 2009 after a
record year for 2008, reflected in a 6.2 percent decline in
commission revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 from the fourth
quarter of 2008. Through an ongoing focus on outstanding customer
service, we have maintained a strong customer base, which we expect
will provide growth momentum as industry conditions improve. Fourth
quarter revenues from service charges and credit and debit card
fees also declined compared with the fourth quarter of 2008. Like
our insurance operations, these business lines continued to make
substantial contributions to our profitability." Noninterest
Expense Noninterest expense was $116.6 million for the fourth
quarter of 2009, an increase of 4.4 percent from $111.7 million for
the fourth quarter of 2008 and a decline of 4.9 percent from $122.7
million for the third quarter of 2009. The comparable quarter
results again reflected the substantial increase in BancorpSouth's
FDIC premium. Although the Company continues to be assessed at the
FDIC's lowest rate, the FDIC premium for the fourth quarter of 2009
increased $2.3 million over the fourth quarter of 2008. The growth
in noninterest expense from the fourth quarter of 2008 is also
attributable to the opening of full-service branch bank offices.
Capital Management BancorpSouth's commitment to a strong capital
base is one of its fundamental operating principles. The Company's
capital base strengthened further during the fourth quarter of
2009, as the ratio of shareholders' equity to assets improved on a
comparable quarter basis for the 14th consecutive quarter,
increasing to 9.83 percent at the end of 2009 from 9.20 percent at
the end of 2008 and 9.69 percent at the end of the third quarter of
2009. The ratio of tangible equity to assets also increased to 7.78
percent at the end of 2009 from 7.15 percent at the end of 2008 and
7.64 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2009. BancorpSouth
remains a "well capitalized" financial holding company, as defined
by federal regulations, with Tier 1 risk-based capital of
approximately 11.56 percent at year end and total risk based
capital of approximately 12.81 percent, compared with required
minimum levels of 6 percent and 10 percent, respectively, to meet
the definition of "well capitalized." Summary Patterson concluded,
"We are encouraged by early signs of a stabilizing economy, but we
are very cautious about prospects for a sustained recovery in 2010.
Longer term, we remain fully confident about our ability to achieve
our growth objectives. This confidence is reinforced by the
Company's performance during the past two years in the most
challenging environment we have experienced. Throughout,
BancorpSouth has produced solid profits, demonstrated strong credit
metrics and risk management, and expanded its liquidity and capital
while also increasing cash dividends that, in 2009, rose for the
26th consecutive year. "Importantly, we have remained fully engaged
in our markets, making new loans, working with our customers who
have experienced financial difficulty and offering strength and
stability for our communities in a difficult economic environment.
As a result, we have not only benefitted from expanding business
with new customers attracted by our service orientation, financial
stability and consistent performance, but also from the addition to
our team of seasoned professionals who appreciate BancorpSouth's
business model and potential for long-term growth. While we expect
the challenging environment to continue in the months ahead, our
performance for 2009 is compelling evidence that we are positioned
to perform well in the year to come and to take full advantage of
strategic growth opportunities." Conference Call BancorpSouth will
