TUPELO, Miss., Oct. 21, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renasant Corporation (Nasdaq:RNST) (the "Company") today announced its earnings results for the third quarter of 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $7,558,000 as compared to $8,297,000 for the third quarter of 2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.36 for the third quarter of 2008 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.39 for the third quarter of 2007.
"Despite the current financial crisis' impact on the banking industry, we were pleased to see past strategies resulting in growth in both our net interest income and noninterest income during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of 2007," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "We are also taking steps that we believe are prudent in today's economic environment to enhance our earnings in the future. Specifically, we have continued to reduce our construction loan portfolio, provided nearly twice as much provision for loan losses over actual charge-offs and managed our funding sources to preserve margin."
Total assets as of September 30, 2008 were approximately $3.7 billion as compared to approximately $3.6 billion at December 31, 2007. Total loans were approximately $2.5 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2008 as compared to approximately $2.6 billion at December 31, 2007. Total deposits were approximately $2.4 billion at September 30, 2008 as compared to approximately $2.5 billion at December 31, 2007.
"The obvious downturns in the credit market along with a difficult interest rate environment, narrowing spreads, and high competition for deposits have all produced a very tough banking climate for the second half of 2008," commented McGraw. "We have intentionally replaced higher costing deposits with lower costing alternatives. As a result, our interest expense is down approximately $900,000 on a linked quarter basis and down approximately $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period last year."
Stockholders' equity was $406,267,000 at September 30, 2008 as compared to $399,073,000 at December 31, 2007. The changes in stockholders' equity reflect earnings, dividends paid and changes in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. As of September 30, 2008, the Company's regulatory capital ratios were in excess of "well-capitalized" regulatory requirements.
"We are committed to growing shareholders' equity to support future dividend payments and balance sheet growth," added McGraw. "This commitment has proven to be valuable in the current economic environment in protecting our shareholders' value."
Net interest income was $27,941,000 for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $26,698,000 for the same period in 2007 and $27,502,000 on a linked quarter basis for June 30, 2008. Net interest margin was 3.45% for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 3.52% for the third quarter of 2007 and 3.43% for the second quarter of 2008.
Noninterest income was $13,644,000 for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $13,446,000 for the third quarter of 2007 and $13,790,000 on a linked quarter basis.
"Our noninterest income continues to be a stable source of revenue as our diversified range of products provides us ways to generate noninterest income through fees from loans, deposits, insurance, wealth management, treasury management and our mortgage lending division," stated McGraw.
Noninterest expense was $27,784,000 for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $26,689,000 for the third quarter of 2007 and $27,698,000 on a linked quarter basis.
Non-performing loans (loans 90 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans) totaled $29,655,000 at September 30, 2008 compared to $26,621,000 at June 30, 2008 and $16,277,000 at December 31, 2007. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.17% at September 30, 2008 compared to 1.05% at June 30, 2008 and 0.63% at December 31, 2007.
The Company's loans 30 to 89 days past due, as a percentage of total loans, were 1.17% at the end of the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 1.23% at June 30, 2008 and 1.08% at December 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.11% at September 30, 2008 as compared to 1.05% at June 30, 2008, and 1.02% at December 31, 2007.
Other real estate owned (OREO) was $21,901,000 at September 30, 2008 compared to $13,111,000 at June 30, 2008 and $8,584,000 at December 31, 2007. On a linked quarter basis, the increase in OREO was primarily due to the Company taking possession of property totaling $7.8 million which secured a single relationship.
Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.25% for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to 0.43% on a linked quarter basis, 0.06% for the third quarter of 2007 and 0.36% for December 31, 2007. The provision for loan losses was $3,000,000 for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $1,313,000 for the same period in 2007.
"Credit deterioration is a harsh reality of the current economic environment. Because of this, we believed it to be prudent to provide an amount to our allowance for loan losses this quarter that almost doubled the amount that was charged off during this period. Despite the continuous burden of the current global credit crisis and the yet to be known overall impact of the government's financial relief program, we will continue to focus on sustaining long term growth and profitability," stated McGraw. "Further, we believe we have the right team in place with the proper tools and prudent lending polices to manage through this economic downturn."
