PINE BLUFF, Ark., July 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simmons First National Corporation SFNC today announced record core earnings of $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $2.7 million, or 42.8%, compared to the same quarter last year. Diluted core earnings per share were a record $0.56, an increase of $0.17, or 43.6%. Core earnings exclude $755,000 in net after-tax earnings. Including the non-core items, net income was $9.9 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.60.

Year-to-date core earnings were $16.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 33.2%, compared to the same period of 2013. Year-to-date diluted core earnings per share were $1.02, an increase of $0.26, or 34.2%. Year-to-date net income was $14.2 million, or $0.87 diluted earnings per share.

"The second quarter was a landmark quarter for Simmons. We announced two acquisitions totaling approximately $3 billion in assets and reported record core earnings and record core earnings per share for the quarter," commented George A. Makris, Jr., Chairman and CEO.

Loans

Total loans, including those acquired, were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2014, an increase of $512 million, or 27.3%, compared to the same period in 2013. Acquired loans increased by $293 million, net of discounts, while legacy loans (all loans excluding acquired loans) grew $218 million, or 13.2%. "We are encouraged by the double digit legacy loan growth during the second quarter. We continue to achieve nice loan growth in virtually every market we serve," added Makris.

Deposits

At June 30, 2014, total deposits were $3.6 billion, an increase of $829 million, or 29.5%, compared to the same period in 2013. Total non-time deposits totaled $2.6 billion, or 72% of total deposits.

Net Interest Income

The Company's net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $40.4 million, an increase of $10.8 million, or 36.7%, from the same period of 2013. This increase was driven by growth in the legacy loan portfolio and earning assets acquired through the Metropolitan transaction, offset by a decrease in accretable yield on acquired loans. Net interest margin was 4.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a 38 basis point increase from the same quarter of 2013. Included in interest income for both periods was the additional yield accretion recognized as a result of updated estimates of the cash flows of the loan pools acquired in the Company's FDIC-assisted transactions. Each quarter, the Company estimates the cash flows expected to be collected from the acquired loan pools, and adjustments may or may not be required. The cash flows estimate has increased based on payment histories and reduced loss expectations of the loan pools. This resulted in increased interest income that is spread on a level-yield basis over the remaining expected lives of the loan pools. The increases in expected cash flows also reduce the amount of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which are recorded as indemnification assets.

The impact of the adjustments on the Company's financial results for the current reporting period is shown below:

  Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
(In thousands) June 30 June 30
  2014 2013 2014 2013
Impact on net interest income  $ 5,856  $ 3,150  $ 13,247  $ 6,097
Non-interest income (6,410) (3,062) (13,850) (5,890)
Net impact to pre-tax income  $ (554)  $ 88  $ (603)  $ 207

Because these adjustments will be recognized over the remaining lives of the loan pools and the remainder of the loss sharing agreements, respectively, they will impact future periods as well. The current estimate of the remaining accretable yield adjustment that will positively impact interest income is $25.1 million and the remaining adjustment to the indemnification assets that will reduce non-interest income is $18.6 million. Of the remaining adjustments, we expect to recognize $9.6 million of interest income and a $10.6 million reduction of non-interest income, for a net reduction to pre-tax income of approximately $1.0 million during the remainder of 2014. The accretable yield adjustments recorded in future periods will change as the Company continues to evaluate expected cash flows from the acquired loan pools.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the second quarter was $15.4 million, an increase of $4.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. Included in non-interest income were $2.3 million in gains from the sale of branches that were closed as part the integration of Metropolitan and a $1.0 million dollar gain from the sale of the Company's merchant services business. Offsetting these gains was a $3.3 million incremental reduction in non-interest income from the adjustment to the indemnification assets. Normalized for the nonrecurring gains and the indemnification asset adjustments, non-interest income for the second quarter increased by $3.9 million, primarily from additional service charge and fee income from the Metropolitan acquisition.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2014 was $39.8 million, an increase of $9.5 million compared to the same period in 2013. Merger related costs for the quarter exceeded those of the same period last year by $1.8 million. Also included in the quarter were $300 thousand of expenses associated with the maintenance of closed branches and $414 thousand of charter consolidation costs from the systems conversion of the three subsidiary banks that were merged into Simmons First National Bank in May. Excluding the nonrecurring expenses, non-interest expense increased by $7.0 million compared to last year, primarily due to incremental operating expenses from the Metropolitan acquisition.

Asset Quality

Beginning in 2010, the Company has acquired loans and foreclosed real estate ("OREO") through FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Through the loss share provisions of the purchase and assumption agreements, the FDIC agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of the losses incurred on the disposition of covered loans and OREO. The acquired loans and OREO and any related FDIC loss share indemnification asset were presented in the Company's financial reports with a carrying value equal to the discounted net present value of expected future proceeds. At June 30, 2014, acquired loans covered by loss share were carried at $122 million, OREO covered by loss share was carried at $17 million and the FDIC loss share indemnification asset was carried at $31 million. Acquired loans and OREO not covered by loss share were carried at $399 million and $37 million, respectively. As a result of using the discounted net present value method of valuing these assets, and due to the significant protection against possible losses provided by the FDIC loss share indemnification, all acquired assets, with the exception of OREO not covered by loss share, are excluded from the computations of the asset quality ratios for the legacy loan portfolio, except for their inclusion in total assets.

"It is important to remember that the acquired non-covered loans are protected by a credit mark and the acquired covered loans are protected by a credit mark and 80% loss coverage by the FDIC," explained Makris. "At June 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses was $27.5 million and the loan credit mark was $88.8 million, for a total of $116.3 million of coverage. This equates to a total coverage ratio of 4.7% of gross loans. The ratio of credit mark to acquired loans was 14.6%." The Company's allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2014, was 1.47% of total loans and 245% of non-performing loans. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.60%. Non-performing assets decreased $5.4 million from the previous quarter to $64.7 million. Through the second quarter of 2014, the year-to-date annualized net charge-off ratio, excluding credit cards, was 0.17%, and the year-to-date annualized credit card charge-off ratio was 1.17%.

Capital

At June 30, 2014, stockholders' equity was $414 million, book value per share was $25.36 and tangible book value per share was $19.69. The Company's ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 9.6% and its ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 7.6%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant activities or nonrecurring transactions. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company's core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
