PINE BLUFF, Ark., April 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simmons First National Corporation SFNC today announced net income of $47.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $51.3 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 7.1%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.51, a decrease of $0.04, or 7.3%, from the same period in 2018. Included in first quarter 2019 results was $1.4 million in net after-tax merger-related, early retirement program and branch right-sizing costs.

Excluding the impact of these items, core earnings were $49.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $52.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 6.7%. Core diluted earnings per share were $0.53, a decrease of $0.04, or 7.0%, from the same period in 2018.

"We had solid operating results in the first quarter. Revenue was affected by three significant items compared to the first quarter of 2018.  Accretion income was down $4.6 million; debit card interchange income, primarily as a result of the Durbin rate cap, was down $2.8 million; and the gain on sale of securities was up $2.7 million, resulting in a net decrease of $4.7 million from the previous year," said George A. Makris Jr., Chairman and CEO.

Makris continued, "We would also like to welcome our newest customers and associates from the Reliance Bank merger into the Simmons family. We closed the transaction Friday, April 12, 2019, and performed the systems conversion over that weekend. We are excited about our growth opportunities in the St. Louis market due to our increased presence."

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2019 was $33.8 million, a decrease of $3.8 million compared to the same period in the previous year. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in debit card fees and mortgage and SBA lending premium income. The interchange rate cap as established by the Durbin amendment became effective for the Company July 1, 2018, resulting in a $2.8 million reduction in debit card fees when compared to the first quarter of last year.  

Mortgage and SBA lending premium income decreased $1.1 million when compared to the same quarter in 2018. Mortgage lending income during the first quarter of 2019 was lower by $649,000 compared to 2018 and SBA premium income decreased by $476,000 due to fewer loan sales in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2018.  

During the first quarter, the Company sold approximately $197 million in securities which resulted in a gain of $2.7 million, as part of a bond portfolio analysis of expected cash flow changes.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2019 was $101.4 million, an increase of $3.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. Included in this quarter were $1.9 million of pre-tax merger-related, early retirement program and branch right-sizing costs. Excluding these expenses, core non-interest expense was $99.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $3.2 million compared to the same period in 2018.  Software and technology costs increased approximately $1.8 million over the same period in the prior year.  The Company's Next Generation Banking technology initiative is progressing on schedule and the incremental IT expenditures during the first quarter were primarily related to this initiative.

During the first quarter, the Company offered qualifying associates an early retirement option resulting in $355,000 of non-core expense.  The Company projects an additional $2.5 million of expense related to these retirements in the second quarter of 2019 and expects ongoing net savings of approximately $4.4 million beginning in the third quarter of 2019.

The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2019 was 56.76% compared to 53.24% for the same period in 2018.

All loans acquired are recorded at their discounted net present value; therefore, they are excluded from the computations of the asset quality ratios for the legacy loan portfolio, except for their inclusion in total assets.

At March 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses for legacy loans was $59.2 million. The allowance for loan losses for loans acquired was $1.3 million and the acquired loan discount credit mark was $42.4 million. The allowances for loan losses and credit marks provide a total of $103.0 million of coverage, which equates to a total coverage ratio of 0.87% of gross loans. The ratio of credit mark and related allowance to loans acquired was 1.41%.

During the quarter, the Company identified loans specific to the acquired portfolio of Bank SNB's Dallas market which were poorly structured or were poorly managed post-funding, and were primarily linked to an individual lender.  As a result, the Company made a provision for acquired loans of $2.0 million related to the Bank SNB acquired pool of loans.  

Makris stated, "We have carefully reviewed these loans for potential losses and believe we have adequately identified any risk associated with the loans.  Unfortunately, based on purchase accounting rules, the credit mark associated with the declining Bank SNB acquired pool is a standalone amount not related to Simmons' overall allowance for loan losses and must be managed specific to that pool of loans."

Provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2019 was $9.3 million, essentially flat when compared to March 31, 2018 and $335,000 less than the fourth quarter of 2018.

Foreclosed Assets and Other Real Estate Owned

At March 31, 2019, foreclosed assets and other real estate owned were $19.0 million, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 35.0%, compared to the same period in 2018 and a decrease of $6.6 million, or 25.9% from December 31, 2018. The composition of these assets is divided into three types:

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 non-core 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. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to Simmons' future growth, revenue, assets, asset quality, profitability, net interest margin, non-interest revenue, allowance for loan losses, and the effect of certain new accounting standards on Simmons' financial statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this news release, and Simmons undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this news release. By nature, forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions and involve inherent risk and uncertainties. Various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in economic conditions, credit quality, interest rates, loan demand, deposit flows, real estate values, the assumptions used in making the forward-looking statements, the securities markets generally or the price of Simmons common stock specifically, information technology affecting the financial industry, and the Company's ability to manage and successfully integrate its mergers and acquisitions could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
