Home BancShares, Inc. Announces Record Quarterly Earnings of $14.5 Million


CONWAY, Ark., April 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Home BancShares, Inc. (Nasdaq:HOMB), parent company of Centennial Bank, today announced first quarter earnings of $14.5 million, or $0.51 diluted earnings per common share, compared to $12.0 million of net income available to common shareholders, or $0.42 diluted earnings per common share for the same quarter in 2011. The Company increased its first quarter net income by $2.5 million or 20.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period of the previous year.

Because acquisitions are growth and capital management strategies, earnings excluding amortization of intangibles after-tax are useful in evaluating the Company. Diluted earnings per common share excluding intangible amortization for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.52 compared to $0.44 diluted earnings per common share excluding intangible amortization for the same period in 2011.

"The record earnings reported during the first quarter are outstanding for Home BancShares," said John Allison, Chairman. "We have strong reserves and our capital continues to remain well above the regulators' capital requirements leaving us open for both FDIC and market acquisition transaction opportunities."

Randy Sims, Chief Executive Officer, added, "The first quarter of 2012 is the most profitable quarter in the history of Home BancShares, Inc. We are also pleased with reporting record net interest income, improvements in our non-performing non-covered assets as well as a 507 basis point improvement in our core efficiency ratio from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012."

Operating Highlights

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2012 was a quarterly record for the Company, increasing 5.8% to $36.5 million from $34.5 million during the first quarter of 2011. For the first quarter of 2012, the effective yield on non-covered loans and covered loans was 6.21% and 7.78%, respectively. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 4.65% for the quarter just ended compared to 4.61% in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 4 basis points. The Company's ability to improve pricing on its loan portfolio and interest bearing deposits allowed the Company to improve net interest margin.

The Company reported $10.1 million of non-interest income for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2011. The most significant components of the first quarter non-interest income were $3.5 million from service charges on deposits accounts, $3.0 million from other service charges and fees, $904,000 from mortgage lending income, $670,000 of accretion on the FDIC indemnification asset, $551,000 from insurance commissions and $257,000 increase in cash value of life insurance.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2012 was $24.4 million compared to $23.9 million for the first quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily associated with additional costs from the Vision acquisition. For the first quarter of 2012, our core efficiency ratio was 46.12% or improved by 507 basis points from the same period of the previous year.

The Company's allowance for loan losses was $51.0 million at March 31, 2012, or 2.49% of total non-covered loans, compared to $52.1 million, or 2.96% of total non-covered loans, at December 31, 2011.

Vision Acquisition

As of February 17, 2012, the Company acquired seventeen branch locations in the Gulf Coast communities of Baldwin County, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle through the acquisition of Vision Bank. This acquisition included total assets of $529.5 million, total loans (after discount) of $340.3 million, cash and due from banks of $140.2 million, goodwill of $17.4 million, fixed assets of $12.5 million, deferred taxes of $11.2 million, core deposit intangible of $3.2 million and total deposits of $524.4 million. The fair value discount on the $355.8 of gross loans was $15.5 million.
