Renasant Corporation Announces Record Earnings Per Share for 2006


Renasant Corporation (Nasdaq:RNST) ("Renasant" or the "Company") today announced record earnings per share for 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.75 and $1.71 for 2006, respectively, up 12% and 11% compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.56 and $1.54 for 2005, respectively. Net income for 2006 was $27,125,000, up 12%, or $2,916,000, from 2005.

Basic earnings per share were $.45 and diluted earnings per share were $.44 for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $.40 for the fourth quarter of 2005. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $6,949,000, compared to $6,218,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005.

"We are pleased to report record earnings per share for the second consecutive year," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "During 2006, Renasant realized double digit loan and deposit growth, expanded its mortgage operations, effected a 3 for 2 stock split, increased its dividend cash payout, opened a full service banking office in Collierville, TN, secured a new location for a full service banking office in Oxford, MS and was recognized as a Global Select Market company by NASDAQ. As we close the books on another successful year, we look forward to expanding our market share and footprint in 2007."

Total assets as of December 31, 2006 were $2.6 billion, an increase of 9%, from December 31, 2005. Total loans grew 11% to $1.8 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006 from December 31, 2005, while total deposits grew 13% to $2.1 billion during the same period.

"It is important to note that now approximately 73% of our loans and 61% of our deposits are in what we consider to be key growth markets," stated McGraw. "We are realizing strong growth in loans and deposits for our Tennessee division, with increases of over $73 million and $50 million for 2006, respectively, over 2005. We realized solid loan growth in Alabama with an $82 million increase in loans during 2006. Alabama deposit growth has been robust in 2006 with $43 million in deposits generated. In Mississippi, deposit growth remained strong at $146 million for 2006 while loans have grown by $32 million. We did, however, experience a combined decrease of $7 million in our student lending, leasing and asset based lending program."

Net interest income remained flat at $20,910,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $20,914,000 for the same period in 2005. Net interest margin decreased to 3.78% for the fourth quarter of 2006 from 4.11% for the fourth quarter of 2005. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2005 included $740,000 of additional interest income from certain loans accounted for under SOP 03-3. Excluding the SOP 03-3 income, net interest income increased $736,000 and net interest margin declined 19 basis points.

Noninterest income increased 16% to $11,764,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006 from $10,118,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase in noninterest income was due to improvements in service charges and fees generated on the Company's loan and deposit products, commissions on the sale of investments and insurance, trust revenue, and gains on the sale of mortgage loans.

Noninterest expense was $22,011,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $21,557,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005. Noninterest expense to average assets decreased to 3.40% for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 3.59% for the fourth quarter of 2005.

"As the entire banking industry continues to experience margin pressure, we are successfully offsetting its negative impact through growth in deposits, loans, and fee income, and by controlling the growth of our noninterest expenses," stated McGraw.

Overall, credit quality remained strong during the fourth quarter of 2006. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .12% for the fourth quarter of 2006, down from .19% for the fourth quarter of 2005. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2006, were .07% compared to .20% for 2005. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were .62% at December 31, 2006, compared to .38% as of December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.07% at December 31, 2006, as compared to 1.12% for December 31, 2005 due partially to the Company's strong loan growth throughout 2006. The non-performing loan coverage ratio was 173.05% at December 31, 2006 compared to 291.94% at December 31, 2005.
