CONWAY, Ark., July 17, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Home BancShares, Inc. (Nasdaq:HOMB) today announced second quarter earnings of $5.7 million, or $0.30 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to earnings of $5.1 million, or $0.29 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2007. This represents a $593,000, or 11.7% increase in the 2008 earnings over 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net income totaled $12.9 million, a 31.7% increase over net income of $9.8 million for the first six months of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2008 were $0.69, compared to $0.56 for the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $0.13 per share or 23.2%.
Because acquisitions are 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 $0.32 and $0.30 for the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2008 were $0.72, compared to $0.59 for the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $0.13 per share.
"Excluding the impairment write-down, we were able to report strong improvements in earnings combined with solid loan growth this quarter," said John Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "With the improvements in our core earnings, growth in loans and an improved net interest margin, we are pleased with our financial performance during the second quarter of 2008."
Operating Highlights
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2008 increased 29.8% to $21.7 million compared to $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2007. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.89% in the quarter just ended compared to 3.51% in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 38 basis points. The Company's second quarter 2008 net interest margin of 3.89% reflected an increase of 11 basis points from 3.78% in the first quarter of 2008. The Company's strong loan growth which was funded by run off in the investment portfolio and deposit growth combined with improved pricing on our deposits allowed the Company to improve net interest margin.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 29.8% to $42.6 million compared to $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company's net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 3.83%, an increase of 36 basis points from 3.47% for the comparable period in 2007.
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company became aware that one of its investment securities had become other than temporarily impaired. As a result of this impairment the security was written-down by $2.1 million or $0.07 diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2008. This investment security is a pool of various other bank holding companies' subordinated debentures throughout the country. The Company has only two securities of this nature with a remaining balance of $3.9 million which was put on non-accrual at June 30, 2008. The Company will continue to monitor its investments in these subordinated debentures and make additional write-downs if appropriate.
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2008 was $5.7 million compared with $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2007, a 13.9% decrease. The decrease in non-interest income is the result of the $2.1 million impairment on the investment security noted above. Excluding this write-down, non-interest income for the second quarter of 2008 would have been $7.7 million or an increase of $1.2 million or 17.5%. Non-interest income excluding the $2.1 million security write-down and the $6.1 million gain on sale of our equity investment in White River Bancshares for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $15.2 million compared to $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 18.6% increase. The recurring improvements are the result of various items including our acquisition of Centennial Bancshares on January 1, 2008, organic growth from service charges on deposits and other service charges and fees.
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2008 was $18.5 million compared with $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 19.3%. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $37.2 million compared to $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 22.9% increase. The increase is primarily the result of our acquisition of Centennial Bancshares on January 1, 2008, de novo expansion, additional costs associated with our efficiency study and the normal increased cost of doing business.
