“We are very pleased with the results of our second quarter operations. We closed our acquisition of Reliance Bank in St. Louis and converted systems on April 12th, finishing the quarter with just under $18 billion in assets,” said George A. Makris Jr., Chairman and CEO.

Makris continued, “We had very nice organic loan and core deposit growth during the quarter and our loan pipeline is still very strong with over $400 million approved and ready to close. We maintained a stable net interest margin and we improved our overall asset quality. We are very proud of our expense management demonstrated this quarter. We also completed the move to our new Little Rock corporate offices in the vibrant Rivermarket area of downtown. Additionally, on top of our recognition in many of our communities for our customer service, we were recently recognized as a Best Place to Work in Arkansas by Arkansas Business for a second year in a row.”

The Company’s net interest income for the second quarter of 2019 was $150.4 million, an increase of $13.5 million, or 9.9%, from the same period of 2018. Included in interest income was the yield accretion recognized on loans acquired of $10.2 million and $10.1 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of this quarter’s yield accretion, $4.9 million, or 48%, was accretable credit mark related and $5.3 million, or 52%, was interest mark related.

Net interest margin was 3.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, a 7 basis point increase from the first quarter 2019. The Company’s core net interest margin, excluding the accretion, was 3.66% for the second quarter of 2019, a 1 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2019. Cost of interest bearing deposits was 1.37% for the second quarter of 2019, a 6 basis point increase from the prior quarter.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2019 was $39.0 million, an increase of $958,000 compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase was primarily due to $2.8 million gain on sale of securities and incremental increases in service charges, mortgage lending income and SBA lending income. These increases were offset by reductions in debit card fees. The interchange rate cap as established by the Durbin amendment became effective for the Company July 1, 2018, resulting in a $3.1 million reduction in debit card fees when compared to the second quarter of last year.

All loans acquired are recorded at their discounted net present value; therefore, they are excluded from the computations of the asset quality ratios for the legacy loan portfolio, except for their inclusion in total assets.

At June 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses for legacy loans was $63.1 million. The allowance for loan losses for loans acquired was $1.1 million and the acquired loan discount mark was $73.5 million. The allowance for loan losses and discount mark provides a total of $137.7 million of coverage, which equates to a total coverage ratio of 1.04% of gross loans. The ratio of discount mark and related allowance to loans acquired was 1.89%.

Provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2019 was $7.1 million, a decrease of $2.0 million when compared to June 30, 2018 and $2.2 million less than the first quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant non-core activities or nonrecurring transactions. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to Simmons’ future growth, revenue, assets, asset quality, profitability, net interest margin, non-interest revenue, allowance for loan losses, and the effect of certain new accounting standards on Simmons’ financial statements.
