Hancock Holding Company Announces Earnings for First Quarter 2010


GULFPORT, Miss., April 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hancock Holding Company (Nasdaq:HBHC) today announced net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Hancock's first quarter 2010 net income was $13.8 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.37. The first quarter 2010 results include the impact of the Company's recent common stock offering and acquisition of Peoples First Community Bank (Peoples First), both of which were completed in the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding the pretax impact of $1.4 million of one-time costs related the fourth quarter acquisition of Peoples First, net income for the first quarter was $14.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.40. Return on average assets (excluding the $1.4 million of one-time mergers costs) for the first quarter was 0.69 percent.

Compared to the first quarter of 2009, net income for 2010's first quarter (excluding one-time merger costs) was up $745 thousand, or 5.3 percent. Diluted earnings per share were $0.04 lower, primarily due to the additional shares outstanding related to the recent common stock offering.

Hancock's pre-tax, pre-provision income was $31.6 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 18.5 percent, over 2009's first quarter. Pre-tax pre-provision income is total revenue less noninterest expense and excludes one-time merger expenses and securities transactions.

Commenting on the Company's first quarter results, Hancock Holding Company President and Chief Executive Officer Carl J. Chaney stated, "The Company's first quarter results were in line with management's expectations and continue to reflect Hancock's leadership role in the banking industry as a source of strength and stability. Last quarter's acquisition of Peoples First continues to be a shining success for Hancock. Deposit runoff, normally significant in a transaction of this type, is running about 3 percent with an actual core deposit increase of about $54 million, or 11 percent.  On behalf of our board and management team, we offer sincere congratulations to all of our associates for a continued job well done."

Highlights & Key Operating Items from Hancock's First Quarter Results

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total assets at March 31, 2010 were $8.57 billion, down $131.6 million or 1.5 percent, from $8.70 billion at December 31, 2009. Compared to March 31, 2009, total assets increased $1.47 billion, or 20.7 percent. The overall increase in total assets from 2009's first quarter was due to the acquisition of Peoples First headquartered in Panama City, Florida in December 2009. Hancock continued to remain well capitalized with total equity of $850.8 million at March 31, 2010, up $225.5 million, or 36.1 percent, from March 31, 2009. Hancock's tangible equity ratio at March 31, 2010, was 9.10 percent, up 29 basis points from the 8.81 percent reported at December 31, 2009.

Loan Growth

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Hancock's average total loans were $5.1 billion, which represented an increase of $803.2 million, or 18.7 percent, from the same quarter a year ago and was up $713.3 million, or 16.3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2009. The increased level of average loans from last quarter and from the same quarter a year ago was related to the acquisition of Peoples First in which Hancock acquired $950 million of fair-value adjusted loans with loss share coverage from the FDIC. Period-end loans were down $102.5 million, or 2.0 percent, from last quarter. The decrease in period-end loans was in commercial/real estate (down $40.3 million, or 1.3 percent), indirect consumer loans (down $27.2 million or 7.3 percent), mortgage loans (down $21.6 million or 2.9 percent), direct consumer loans (down $8.9 million or 1.2 percent), and finance company loans (down $4.5 million or 4.0 percent).

Deposit Growth

Period-end deposits for the first quarter were $7.00 billion, up $1.20 billion, or 20.7 percent, from March 31, 2009, and were down $191.1 million, or 2.7 percent, from December 31, 2009. The increase in period-end deposits as compared to March 31, 2009, was due primarily to the acquisition of Peoples First. Average deposits were up $1.50 billion, or 26.8 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in average deposits was due to the acquisition of Peoples First in mid December 2009. The increase was reflected in time deposits (up $844.4 million), interest bearing transaction deposits (up $369.2 million), non-interest bearing deposits (up $75.2 million), and interest-bearing public fund deposits (up $216.0 million). 

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs for 2010's first quarter were $13.3 million, or 1.06 percent of average loans, down $0.4 million from the $13.6 million, or 1.24 percent of average loans, reported for the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-performing assets as a percent of total loans and foreclosed assets was 2.44 percent at March 31, 2010, up from 1.97 percent at December 31, 2009. Non-accrual loans increased $6.3 million while other real estate owned (ORE) increased $15.9 million compared to the prior quarter. Loans 90 days past due or greater (accruing) as a percent of period end loans, increased 4 basis points from December 30, 2009 to 0.27 percent at March 31, 2010.

Hancock recorded a provision for loan losses for the first quarter of $13.8 million. The Company's allowance for loan losses was $66.6 million at March 31, 2010, and $66.1 million at December 31, 2009. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of period-end loans was 1.33 percent at March 31, 2010, compared to 1.29 at December 31, 2009. Additional asset quality information (inclusive and exclusive of the acquisition of Peoples First) is provided in the table below:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income (te) for the first quarter increased $13.2 million, or 23.4 percent, while the net interest margin (te) of 3.75 percent was 25 basis points wider than the same quarter a year ago. Growth in average earning assets was strong compared to the same quarter a year ago with an increase of $1.00 billion, or 15.5 percent, mostly reflected in higher average loans (up $803.2 million, or 18.7 percent) and was due primarily to the fourth quarter 2009 acquisition of Peoples First.

The Company's loan yield increased 24 basis points, while the yield on securities decreased 37 basis points, pushing the yield on average earning assets down 11 basis points. However, total funding costs over the same quarter a year ago were down 35 basis points. 

Compared to the prior quarter, the net interest margin (te) narrowed 21 basis points, but the level of net interest income was up $5.9 million, or 9.2 percent, mostly due to the Peoples First acquisition. The yield on average earning assets was down 17 basis points from last quarter at 5.15 percent, while the total cost of funds increased by 5 basis points (mostly due to unfavorable deposit mix related to Peoples First).   

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, for the first quarter was up $2.3 million, or 8.0 percent, compared to the same quarter a year ago but was down $32.0 million, or 50.5 percent, compared to the previous quarter. Factors impacting noninterest income compared to the same quarter a year ago were higher levels of debit card and merchant fees (up $1.0 million or 40.0 percent), service charges on deposit accounts (up $987 thousand or 9.4 percent), trust fees (up $519 thousand or 15.6 percent), secondary mortgage market operations (up $482 thousand or 41.6 percent), and ATM fees (up $172 thousand or 9.7 percent). These increases were partially offset by decreases in investment and annuity fees (down $582 million or 20.3 percent) and other income (down $339 thousand or 10.0 percent).

The decrease in non-interest income (excluding securities transactions) for the first quarter compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to the acquisition gain of Peoples First in the amount of $33.6 million reported in the prior quarter. Excluding the acquisition gain, non-interest income increased by $1.7 million compared to the prior quarter. Factors contributing to the increase were debit card and merchant fees (up $652 thousand or 22.1 percent), investment and annuity fees (up $617 thousand or 37.1 percent), other income (up $301 thousand or 10.9 percent), secondary mortgage market operations (up $201 thousand or 14.0 percent), insurance fees (up $182 thousand or 5.5 percent), and ATM fees (up $113 thousand or 6.1 percent). These increases were offset slightly by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts (down $324 thousand or 2.7 percent) and trust fees (down $91 thousand or 2.3 percent). 

Operating Expense & Taxes

Operating expenses for the first quarter were up $12.0 million, or 21.5 percent, compared to the same quarter a year ago, and were $4.2 million, or 6.5 percent, higher than the previous quarter. The increase from the same quarter a year ago was reflected in higher other operating expense (up $6.3 million or 37.0 percent), personnel expense (up $4.0 million or 13.0 percent), occupancy expense (up $1.1 million or 21.5 percent), amortization of intangibles expense (up $384 thousand or 108.5 percent) and equipment expense (up $190 thousand or 7.5 percent) primarily due to the acquisition of Peoples First. One-time merger costs included in the first quarter of 2010 were $1.4 million and $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the effective income tax rates were approximately 15% and 23%, respectively. Because of the reduced level of pretax income in 2010, the tax exempt interest income and the utilization of tax credits had a significant impact on the effective tax rate. The source of the tax credits for 2010 and 2009 resulted from investments in New Market Tax Credits, Qualified Bond Credits and Work Opportunity Tax Credits.
