TUPELO, Miss., Jan. 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renasant Corporation (Nasdaq:RNST) (the "Company") today announced its earnings results for 2008. Net income for 2008 was $24,052,000 as compared to $31,101,000 for 2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.15 and $1.14, respectively, for 2008 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.66 and $1.64, respectively, for 2007.
For the fourth quarter of 2008, net income was $232,000 as compared to $8,755,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.01 for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to basic earnings per share of $0.42 and diluted earnings per share of $0.41 for the fourth quarter of 2007. As discussed below, the increase in the provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 is the primary reason for the decline in net income from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2008.
"This past year was very trying for the financial services industry and our earnings results reflect the effects of the ongoing economic environment we are all experiencing," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "Our management team is focused on preserving margin, minimizing credit losses, growing noninterest income, reducing noninterest expense and, as a result, continuing to enhance our already strong capital position. Focusing on these core areas will position the Company to achieve its long-term objectives."
Total assets as of December 31, 2008 were approximately $3.72 billion as compared to approximately $3.61 billion for December 31, 2007. Total loans were $2.53 billion at the end of 2008 as compared to approximately $2.59 billion at December 31, 2007. Total deposits were $2.34 billion at December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $2.55 billion at December 31, 2007.
Shareholders' equity was $400,248,000 at December 31, 2008 as compared to $399,073,000 at December 31, 2007. The change in shareholders' equity reflects earnings, dividends paid and changes in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. As of December 31, 2008, the Company's regulatory capital ratios were well in excess of regulatory minimums required to be classified as "well-capitalized." At December 31, 2008, the Company's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 8.34%, its Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 10.85%, and its total risk-based capital ratio was 12.10%, in each case well in excess of regulatory minimums.
"During the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced our decision not to participate in the Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program which is part of the federal government's Troubled Assets Relief Program," commented McGraw. "Our strong capital ratios, which continued to increase during the fourth quarter of 2008, along with future earnings should allow us to meet projected balance sheet growth, maintain our current dividend and deal with the effects of the downturn in the economy."
Net interest income was $109,442,000 for 2008 as compared to $95,821,000 for 2007. Net interest income was relatively unchanged at $26,842,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to $26,943,000 for the same period in 2007. Net interest margin was 3.44% for 2008 as compared to 3.57% for 2007; net interest margin was 3.36% for the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to 3.48% for the fourth quarter of 2007.
Noninterest income was $54,042,000 for 2008 as compared to $52,187,000 for 2007. For the fourth quarter of 2008, noninterest income was $12,751,000 as compared to $13,197,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007. Noninterest income continues to provide a strong source of revenue in the currently volatile interest rate environment.
Noninterest expense was $107,968,000 for 2008 as compared to $98,000,000 for 2007. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Capital Bancorp, Inc. of Nashville, TN which occurred on July 1, 2007. Noninterest expense was $25,688,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $25,443,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company's noninterest expense decreased by approximately $2.1 million from the third quarter of 2008 to fourth quarter of 2008. A reduction in performance based incentive accruals and lower than anticipated health care costs were the primary reasons for the linked quarter decrease in noninterest expense.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $14,979,000 and $22,804,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008 and the year ending December 31, 2008, respectively, as compared to $1,975,000 and $4,838,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2007. The Company increased the provision for loan losses during 2008 due to deterioration in certain markets resulting primarily from current and anticipated economic conditions and continued stress on real estate values. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the year ending December 31, 2008, were 0.55% compared to 0.14% for 2007.
Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.58% at December 31, 2008, compared to 0.63% as of December 31, 2007 and 1.17% at September 30, 2008. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.38% at December 31, 2008, as compared to 1.02% for December 31, 2007 and 1.11% at September 30, 2008.
"Due to deterioration in our residential and construction and land development loan portfolio and the uncertainty of the current and ongoing economic environment, we believed it is prudent to substantially increase our provision for loan losses during the fourth quarter of 2008. We continue to take a proactive and aggressive analysis of our loan portfolio to identify problem loans as early as possible and make adjustments as needed to provide for inherent credit risks," stated McGraw. "Furthermore, we have made a concerted effort to lessen our exposure to construction and development loans by reducing this category in our portfolio by approximately 37% from 2007. As we move into 2009, we believe this effort will help us mitigate future risks in this category of our loan portfolio."
Other real estate owned was $25,111,000 at December 31, 2008 as compared to $21,901,000 at September 30, 2008 and $8,584,000 at December 31, 2007. The Company is aggressively managing the property held in other real estate owned. This is evident by the fact that year-to-date, the Company has sold $11.2 million of other real estate owned which has resulted in a net recovery in the process.
"During our 104-year history we have faced many challenges. While the current economic situation is definitely a major concern, we believe that our experienced banking team, strong capital position, resiliency of our markets and conservative business model should give confidence to both our shareholders and clients in the safety, security and stability of Renasant Corporation," said McGraw.
