Renasant Corporation Announces 2007 Third Quarter Earnings


TUPELO, Miss., Oct. 16, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Renasant Corporation (Nasdaq:RNST) (the "Company") today announced results for the third quarter of 2007. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $8,297,000 as compared to $6,632,000 for the third quarter of 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.39 for the third quarter of 2007, compared to basic earnings per share of $0.43 and diluted earnings per share of $0.42 for the third quarter of 2006. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 included approximately $373,000, or $0.02 per share, in after-tax expenses related to the Company's acquisition of Capital Bancorp, Inc. ("Capital") of Nashville, Tennessee, which was completed on July 1, 2007.

"We are pleased with our third quarter performance which included completion of the Capital merger, and full integration is now well underway," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "This is the first quarter that Capital's financial performance was reflected in our earnings results, and we remain excited about our future in the Nashville, Tennessee market."

The acquisition of Capital was completed on July 1, 2007 using the purchase accounting method under generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, the financial statements of the Company do not reflect the results of operations or financial condition of Capital prior to July 1, 2007. As such, period-end balances incorporate the impact of the Company's acquisition of Capital, including total assets of $615 million, total loans of $516 million, total deposits of $490 million, goodwill of $95 million and core deposit intangibles of $6 million. The Company issued approximately 2.8 million shares of Renasant Corporation common stock and paid $56 million cash in connection with the acquisition of Capital.

Total assets as of September 30, 2007 were $3.585 billion, representing a 37.3% increase from December 31, 2006 and a 41.6% increase since September 30, 2006.

Total loans grew to approximately $2.589 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 41.7% from $1.827 billion at December 31, 2006. The acquisition of Capital increased loans by $516 million. The Company's organic loan growth totaled $246 million, representing a 13.5% increase since December 31, 2006.

Total deposits grew to $2.664 billion at September 30, 2007, representing a 26.3% increase from December 31, 2006. The acquisition of Capital increased total deposits by $490 million. The Company's organic deposit growth totaled $85 million, representing a 4.0% increase since December 31, 2006.

Net interest income grew to $26.7 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $21.7 million for the same period in 2006. Net interest margin declined to 3.52% for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to 4.02% for the third quarter of 2006. As discussed in previous releases, net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 included $527,000 in additional income from certain loans acquired in connection with the Company's acquisition of Heritage Financial Holding Corporation. This additional interest income increased the Company's net interest margin 9 basis points and earnings by $0.02. On a linked quarter basis, net interest margin was 3.52% for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to 3.66% for the second quarter of 2007.

Noninterest income increased 14.8% to $13.4 million for the third quarter of 2007 from $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2006. The Capital acquisition contributed $688,000 in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2007. Excluding Capital's noninterest income, the Company's noninterest income increased 8.9% as compared to the third quarter of 2006.

Noninterest expense was $26.7 million for the third quarter of 2007, up 15.8% compared to $23 million for the third quarter of 2006. The acquisition of Capital increased noninterest expenses $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2007. Excluding these noninterest expenses, the Company's noninterest expenses decreased $13,000 as compared to the third quarter of 2006.

Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.06% for the third quarter of 2007, down from 0.13% for the third quarter of 2006. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.57% at September 30, 2007, as compared to 0.62% at December 31, 2006 and 0.46% at September 30, 2006. Nonperforming loans were $14.8 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $11.3 million at December 31, 2006 and $8.1 million at September 30, 2006. The increase in non-performing loans at September 30, 2007 as compared to prior periods is attributable to the acquisition of Capital and the addition of two large loans in our Alabama market. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.04% at September 30, 2007, as compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2007 and 1.10% at September 30, 2006. The Company increased the provision for loan losses $413,000 for the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, due to the aforementioned increase in non-performing loans and loan growth.

"During the third quarter of 2007, we set the stage for future growth in our key markets by moving forward with the full integration of Capital in Nashville and by hiring a new State President to oversee our Alabama Division operations."
