Renasant Corporation Announces 14 Percent Increase in Second Quarter Earnings Per Share


TUPELO, Miss., July 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Renasant Corporation (Nasdaq:RNST) (the "Company") today announced results for the second quarter of 2006. Basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 2006 were $.68, up 13%, and diluted earnings per share were $.67, up 14%, compared to basic earnings per share of $.60 and diluted earnings per share of $.59, respectively, for the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $7,043,000, up 13%, or $836,000, from the second quarter of 2005.

"Our strong second quarter results reflect our Company's commitment to meeting our strategic goals and initiatives," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "As we pass the half way point of 2006, we are continuing to see improvement in our key performance indicators. We saw solid loan and deposit growth, a stabilizing margin, strong growth in fee income, excellent credit quality, and a controlled increase in operating expenses."

Total assets as of June 30, 2006 were approximately $2.5 billion, an increase of 6% from June 30, 2005. Total loans grew 9% to approximately $1.7 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2006 from $1.6 billion at June 30, 2005, while total deposits grew 12% to approximately $2.0 billion during the same period.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company realized significant loan growth within its tri-state footprint as loans grew by over $65 million, from the end of first quarter 2006 to the end of second quarter 2006. The Mississippi division contributed approximately $31 million, or 47%, of the Company's loan growth over this period, while the Tennessee and Alabama divisions experienced loan growth of $14 million and $20 million, respectively.

During this same time period, deposits decreased 2%; however, the Company expected certain levels of deposit runoff due to higher than anticipated public funds accumulation during the first quarter of 2006. At the end of the second quarter of 2006, approximately 71% of loans and 60% of deposits are held in what the Company considers to be key growth markets.

Net interest income grew 2% to $20,942,000 for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $20,455,000 for the second quarter of 2005 while net interest margin decreased from 4.14% to 3.96% over the same period. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2006 included $120,000 in interest income associated with certain loans accounted for under AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, as compared to $1,048,000 in interest income from similar loans for the second quarter of 2005. Excluding the additional interest income from these loans, net interest income grew 7% for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005, and net interest margin was unchanged at 3.94% over the same period.

Net interest income from the second quarter of 2006 increased $434,000 from the first quarter of 2006, while net interest margin declined from 3.99% in the first quarter of 2006 to 3.96% in the second quarter of 2006. Interest income on loans accounted for under SOP 03-3 increased second quarter 2006 net interest income by $120,000 and first quarter 2006 net interest income by $262,000. Excluding interest income on loans accounted for under SOP 03-3, net interest income increased by $576,000, or 11% annualized, and net interest margin remained flat at 3.94% over the same period.

"We are proud of our Company's ability to maintain our margin while growing loans and deposits at or near double digit rates compared to the same period in 2005. Given the current interest rate environment and pressures on interest spreads and margins, we are especially pleased with these results," stated McGraw.

Noninterest income increased 11% to $11,033,000 for the second quarter of 2006 from $9,951,000 for the second quarter of 2005 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts, loan fees, and commissions on investment products. Noninterest income represented 34% of the Company's total revenue for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to 32% for the second quarter of 2005.

Compared to the first quarter of 2006, noninterest income decreased $400,000 during the second quarter of 2006. First quarter 2006 noninterest income included a $558,000 gain from the early extinguishment of a long term advance and a $397,000 non-taxable death benefit from life insurance proceeds. Excluding these items from first quarter 2006 noninterest income, noninterest income grew $555,000, or 21% annualized, during the second quarter of 2006.

Noninterest expense was $22,059,000 for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $20,857,000 for the second quarter of 2005. Compared to first quarter 2006, noninterest expenses increased $168,000, or less than 3% annualized during the second quarter of 2006.

"We are pleased to note that we have been able to diversify our Company's revenue sources by increasing our noninterest income generating product lines. In addition, we are controlling our expense growth while absorbing the expense related to three full service banking offices that we have added since the second quarter of 2005," commented McGraw.

The Company's credit quality remained strong during the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recovered $1,256,000 of loans previously charged-off while the Company charged-off loans totaling $379,000, resulting in a net recovery of $877,000. As a result of the recoveries, the Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $360,000 for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to a provision for loan losses of $847,000 for the same period for 2005. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were (.20%) for the second quarter of 2006, down from .19% for the second quarter of 2005. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were .45% at June 30, 2006, as compared to .40% at June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.10% at June 30, 2006, as compared to 1.14% at June 30, 2005.
