Renasant Corporation Announces 2009 Second Quarter Earnings

TUPELO, Miss., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Renasant Corporation (Nasdaq: RNST) (the "Company") today announced results for the second quarter of 2009. Net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $4,256,000 compared to $7,985,000 for the second quarter of 2008. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.20 during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.38 for the second quarter of 2008.

"Our second quarter 2009 results reflect our continued focus on controlling non-interest expenses and capitalizing on our diversified revenue sources to continue to grow non-interest income," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "While the current economic environment continues to be a challenge, especially with respect to credit quality, we are encouraged that our non-performing loans and our total past due loans decreased on a linked quarter basis. Additionally, we continue to maintain strong levels of capital which we believe will support our current and anticipated capital needs."

Non-interest expense was $27,132,000 for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $27,698,000 for the second quarter of 2008. Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 included approximately $1.75 million for the special deposit insurance assessment levied by the FDIC on all insured institutions.

"By controlling expenses, we were able to offset the costs of the special FDIC assessment and the increase in our base FDIC insurance rate, both of which applied to all insured institutions. Staff reductions resulted in lower expenses related to salaries and benefits, and our occupancy expense also declined during the second quarter of 2009," said McGraw. "Expense control continues to be one of our top priorities."

Non-interest income increased 11.85% to $15,424,000 for the second quarter of 2009 from $13,790,000 for the second quarter of 2008. The growth in non-interest income was generated primarily through the Company's mortgage operations and gains from the sale of investment securities coupled with the continued stability of other sources of non-interest income. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased $982,000 to $2,293,000 for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Mortgage loan production increased $56.74 million to $260.58 million for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. Net gains from the sale of investment securities were $1,123,000 for the second quarter of 2009. The Company did not record any gains from the sale of investment securities during 2008.

"The outstanding performance by our mortgage production department coupled with the current low interest rate environment has been the catalyst in our non-interest income growth," stated McGraw. "In addition, we continue to experience a stable revenue stream from our various sources of non-interest income."

Net interest income was $24,160,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $27,502,000 for the same period in 2008. Net interest margin was 3.04% for the second quarter of 2009 compared 3.43% for the second quarter of 2008. Net interest margin was 3.19% for the first quarter of 2009. The linked quarter decrease in net interest margin was, in large part, due to accelerated prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and calls of government agency securities. These cash flows were used to make loans and purchase investment securities that, due to the current interest rate environment, carried a lower interest rate than the loans and investment securities being replaced. Further impacting the Company's margin was an increase in nonaccrual loans in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the corresponding period in 2008.

"Excluding the effect of nonaccrual loans on net interest income, we believe that our margin is positioned to improve during the second half of 2009 as we continue to improve the yields on new and renewed loans and replace higher-cost funding with lower-cost deposits," commented McGraw.

Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.65% at June 30, 2009, as compared to 2.69% at March 31, 2009 and 1.05% at June 30, 2008. In addition, we saw a linked quarter decrease in loans 30-89 days past due during the second quarter of 2009. Loans past due 30-89 days as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.89% at June 30, 2009 as compared to 1.04% at March 31, 2009 and 1.23% at June 30, 2008. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 2.59% at June 30, 2009 compared to 2.44% at March 31, 2009 and 1.05% at June 30, 2008, due to increases in other real estate owned.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $6,700,000 for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $5,040,000 for the first quarter of 2009 and $2,200,000 for the second quarter of 2008. The provision for loan losses was increased during the second quarter of 2009, which is reflective of the higher amount of net charge-offs during the quarter and consistent with our practice of providing for losses within our loan portfolio as we identify potential weaknesses. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.93% for the second quarter of 2009, up from 0.75% for the first quarter of 2009 and 0.43% for the second quarter of 2008. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.46% at June 30, 2009, as compared to 1.40% at March 31, 2009 and 1.05% at June 30, 2008.

"We continue to evaluate the risk within our loan portfolio and in this effort, we have continued to reduce our exposure to construction and development loans as witnessed by the $33.4 million decline on a linked quarter basis," stated McGraw. "We believe that we are adequately reserved for inherent loan losses absent any unprecedented or extraordinary events."

Total assets as of June 30, 2009 were approximately $3.70 billion, a 0.38% decrease since December 31, 2008. Total loans were approximately $2.47 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2009, a decrease from $2.53 billion at December 31, 2008. Total deposits were $2.60 billion at June 30, 2009, representing a 10.91% increase from December 31, 2008.

At June 30, 2009, each of the Company's regulatory capital ratios were in excess of regulatory well capitalized thresholds. The Company's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 8.37%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.95%, and its total risk-based capital ratio was 12.20%. The Company's shareholders' equity to total assets increased to 10.82% at June 30, 2009 as compared to 10.54% at March 31, 2009 and 10.68% at June 30, 2008. The Company's tangible shareholders' equity to total tangible assets (tangible capital ratio) increased to 5.94% at June 30, 2009 as compared to 5.75% at March 31, 2009 and 5.83% at June 30, 2008.
