CONWAY, Ark., April 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Home BancShares, Inc. (Nasdaq:HOMB) today announced record first quarter earnings of $4.8 million, or $0.27 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to earnings of $3.5 million, or $0.24 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2006. This represents a $1.3 million, or 35.4% increase in the 2007 earnings over 2006.
Because of acquisitions as both a growth and a capital management strategy, cash earnings (net income excluding amortization of intangibles after-tax) are useful in evaluating the Company. Cash diluted earnings per share were $0.29 and $0.26 for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
"The first quarter of 2007 was a great quarter for our Company," said John W. Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Anytime you have record first quarter earnings and strong loan growth combined with a steady net interest margin, you have to be proud."
Operating Highlights
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2007 increased 8.5% to $16.1 million compared to $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2006. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.42% in the quarter just ended compared to 3.53% in the first quarter of 2006, a decrease of eleven basis points. The Company's first quarter 2007 net interest margin of 3.42% was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2006. During 2006, competitive pressures and a slightly inverted yield curve put pressure on the Company's net interest margin. While the current competitive pressures have eased somewhat during 2007, the Company's net interest margin on a linked quarter basis was still projected to decline as a result of the $35 million purchase of bank owned life insurance late in the fourth quarter of 2006. Yet, the Company was able to rise above this expectation by achieving strong loan growth that was funded by both the run off in the investment portfolio and more reasonably priced interest-bearing liabilities.
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2007 was $6.2 million compared with $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2006, a 41.0% increase. The increase in non-interest income is the result of various items including organic growth, particularly from service charges on deposits; an increase in other service charges and fees related to our improved position to retain more of the interchange fees on our electronic banking transactions and benefits associated with our recent purchase of bank owned life insurance.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2007 was $14.7 million compared with $13.6 million for the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 8.2%. The increase is the result of the continued expansion of the Company combined with the normal increased cost of doing business.
Financial Condition
Total loans were $1.48 billion at March 31, 2007 compared to $1.25 billion at March 31, 2006, an increase of 18.4%. Total deposits were $1.63 billion at March 31, 2007 compared to $1.51 billion at March 31, 2006, an increase of 8.0%. Total assets were $2.20 billion at March 31, 2007, an 11.8% increase from $1.97 billion at March 31, 2006.
Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans improved to 0.42% as of March 31, 2007 when compared to 0.66% as of March 31, 2006. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets were 0.30% as of March 31, 2007 compared to 0.45% as of March 31, 2006.
The Company's allowance for loan losses was $26.9 million at March 31, 2007, or 1.83% of total loans, compared to $24.4 million, or 1.96% of total loans, at March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, the Company's allowance for loan losses equaled 436% of its total nonperforming loans compared to 297% as of March 31, 2006.
Stockholders' equity was $236.9 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $169.0 million at March 31, 2006, an increase of 40.1%. Book value per common share was $13.75 at March 31, 2007 compared to book value per common share with preferred converted to common of $11.83 at March 31, 2006, a 16.2% increase. The increases in stockholders' equity and book value per share were primarily the result of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, which was completed during 2006, and retained earnings during the prior twelve months.
Branch Expansion
During 2007, the Company opened its second branch location in the Florida community of Key West. Presently, the Company has one pending Florida de novo branch location in Key Largo scheduled to open in 2007 and has plans for four additional de novo branch locations in the Arkansas communities of Searcy (2), Bryant, and Quitman.
