Diluted earnings per share were $0.54, a decrease of $0.04, or 6.9%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Included in second quarter 2020 results were $3.0 million in net after-tax merger-related, early retirement program and branch right-sizing costs as well as a $1.6 million after-tax gain associated with the sale of branches.

Excluding the impact of these items, core earnings were $60.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $65.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 8.1%. Core diluted earnings per share were $0.55, a decrease of $0.13, or 19.1%, from the same period in 2019.

Year-to-date net income for the first half of 2020 was $136.0 million, or $1.22 diluted earnings per share, compared to $103.3 million, or $1.09 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2019. Excluding $2.0 million in net after-tax merger-related, early retirement program and branch right-sizing costs and the gains on the sales of branches in south Texas and Colorado, year-to-date core earnings for 2020 were $134.0 million, an increase of $19.5 million compared to the same period last year. Core diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2020 were $1.21, equal to the same period in 2019.

“Our associates at Simmons Bank have done an amazing job of adapting to the changes that have occurred over the past four months,” said George A. Makris, Jr., chairman and CEO of Simmons First National Corporation. “We continue to operate in an uncertain environment, and we will continue to adjust as necessary. We have consolidated various operations to provide capacity for continued service to our customers and communities. Our digital banking options have been very well received by our customers, and we expect to continue to see the trend toward more self-service. We need a sustainable plan for the opening of the economy, including public education across the country. We remain optimistic we will get one soon.”

Loans

Total loans$14.61$14.37$13.13
       

Total loans were $14.6 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $1.5 billion, or 11.3%, compared to June 30, 2019, primarily due to The Landrum Company (“Landrum”) merger completed during the fourth quarter 2019. On a linked-quarter basis (June 30, 2020 compared to March 31, 2020), total loans increased $232.6 million, or 1.6%. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company had $963.7 million in loan originations under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and an increase in agricultural loans of $26.2 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in energy loan lending, commercial real estate and single-family real estate loan categories of $64.8 million, $149.7 million and $136.5 million, respectively.

On a linked-quarter basis, total deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 6.8%, primarily due to the $1.0 billion increase in non-interest bearing deposits. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in brokered funds of $308.9 million during the second quarter.

  3. Includes non-interest bearing deposits.

The Company’s net interest income for the second quarter of 2020 was $163.7 million, an increase of $14.3 million, or 9.5%, from the same period of 2019, primarily due to the 78 basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing deposits year over year. Included in interest income was the yield accretion recognized on loans acquired of $11.7 million and $10.2 million for the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The loan yield was 4.84% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, while the core loan yield, which excludes the accretion, was 4.52% for the same period. The decrease in the loan yield during the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the lower yielding PPP loans originated during the quarter. The PPP loan yield was approximately 2.33% (including accretion of net fees), which decreased the loan yield by approximately 10 basis points.

Net interest margin (FTE) was 3.42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, while the core net interest margin, which excludes the accretion, was 3.18% for the same period. The decrease in the net interest margin during the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the additional liquidity and the lower yielding PPP loans, which decreased the net interest margin by approximately 25 basis points.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2020 was $50.2 million, an increase of $10.3 million compared to the same period in the previous year. During the second quarter 2020, the Company recognized a $2.2 million gain associated with the sale of the branches recorded in other income, which the Company considers a non-core item.

The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to the increase in mortgage lending income driven by the current low mortgage interest rate environment. The decrease in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily attributable to a lower number of customer transactions, related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $112.6 million, an increase of $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2019. Included in this quarter were $4.0 million of pre-tax non-core items for merger-related, early retirement program and branch right-sizing costs. Excluding these expenses, core non-interest expense was $108.6 million for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $11.2 million compared to the same period in 2019, primarily the result of the Landrum merger and additional software and technology costs related to the Company’s Next Generation Banking (“NGB”) initiative.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2020 was 49.12%, compared to 49.88% for the same period in 2019.

On a linked-quarter basis, salaries and employee benefits decreased by $10.3 million, which included the impact of cost savings from the Landrum merger.  The decrease was primarily driven by the following categories:

  • Employee benefits - $3.1 million decrease (payroll taxes, insurance utilization, and other employee benefits)
  • Salaries - $2.3 million decrease
  • Incentive based plans - $4.9 million decrease (executive, lender and retail incentive plans)

On a linked-quarter basis, other operating expenses decreased $4.1 million. The remaining decrease was primarily related to cost savings from the Landrum merger and lower operating expenses due to the impact of COVID-19.

Early in 2020, the Company offered qualifying associates an early retirement option resulting in $493,000 of non-core expense during the second quarter. The Company expects ongoing net annualized savings of approximately $2.9 million.

Management continuously evaluates the Company’s branch network as part of its analysis of the profitability of the Company’s operations and the efficiency with which it delivers banking services to its markets. As a result of this ongoing evaluation, the Company closed 11 branch locations during June 2020, with estimated net annual cost savings of approximately $2.4 million related to these locations. In addition, the Company expects to close an additional 23 branch locations and one loan production office during the fourth quarter of 2020, with an expected net annual cost savings of approximately $6.8 million.

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 adjust GAAP performance measures to, among other things, include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as exclude from income available to common shareholders certain expenses related to significant non-core activities, including merger-related expenses, gain on sale of branches, early retirement program expenses and branch right-sizing expenses. In addition, the Company also presents certain figures based on tangible common stockholders’ equity and tangible book value, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company further presents certain figures that are exclusive of PPP loans.  The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they present the results of the Company’s ongoing operations without the effect of mergers or other items not central to the Company’s ongoing business, as well as normalizing for tax effects. Management, therefore, 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.
