Renasant Corporation Announces Earnings for 2007


TUPELO, Miss., Jan. 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Renasant Corporation (Nasdaq:RNST) ("Renasant" or the "Company") today announced earnings results for 2007. Net income for 2007 was $31,101,000, up 14.7%, or $3,976,000, from 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.66 and $1.64 for 2007, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.75 and $1.71 for 2006.

For the fourth quarter of 2007, net income was $8,755,000, as compared to $6,949,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006. Basic earnings per share were $.42 and diluted earnings per share were $.41 for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to basic earnings per share of $.45 and diluted earnings per share of $.44 for the fourth quarter of 2006.

"Despite the entire financial services industry facing a challenging environment which has included an inverted to flat yield curve, a decline in credit quality, and a downturn in the national economy, we are pleased with our financial results for the fourth quarter and our overall performance in 2007," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "During 2007, Renasant completed its acquisition of Capital Bancorp, Inc. of Nashville, Tennessee and the related equity offering of 2.76 million shares of common stock, increased its dividend cash payout for the 20th consecutive year, and opened a full service banking office in Oxford, Mississippi. As we close the books on a challenging year for financial services institutions, we are concentrating our efforts on market share expansion within our current markets for 2008."

Total assets as of December 31, 2007 were $3.61 billion, an increase of 38.33%, from December 31, 2006. Total loans were $2.59 billion at the end of 2007, an increase of 41.60% from December 31, 2006. Total deposits grew 20.81% to $2.55 billion during the same period.

Net interest income was $95,821,000 for 2007, an increase of 13.99%, from $84,063,000 for 2006. Net interest income increased to $26,943,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $20,910,000 for the same period in 2006. Net interest margin decreased to 3.48% for the fourth quarter of 2007 from 3.78% for the fourth quarter of 2006.

Noninterest income was $52,187,000 for 2007, an increase of 13.59%, from $45,943,000 for 2006. Noninterest income was $13,197,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $11,764,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006.

"Despite the recent downturn in the national as well as regional housing markets, we were able to realize significant gains from the sale of mortgage loans. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased to $1.29 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to $1.03 million during the fourth quarter of 2006," stated McGraw. "In addition, we have not actively participated in the originations of subprime loans and, as such, believe that we have limited exposure in this area."

Noninterest expense was $98,000,000 for 2007, an increase of 10.10%, from $89,006,000 for 2006. Noninterest expense was $25,443,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $22,011,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006. Although the aggregate amount of noninterest expense grew, the ratio of noninterest expense to average assets decreased to 2.80% for the fourth quarter of 2007 from 3.40% for the same period in 2006. The Company reduced noninterest expense on a linked quarter basis by approximately $1 million by realizing the cost savings from the Capital merger, adjustments in the Company's incentive plans and from renegotiating its data processing contract.

"As the economy continued to slow during 2007, we concentrated on reducing our operating expense as evidenced by the decrease in our noninterest expense to average assets over the past 12 months," stated McGraw.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the year ending December 31, 2007, were .14% compared to .07% for 2006. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .36% for the fourth quarter of 2007, up from .12% for the fourth quarter of 2006. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2007 include $1,870,000 related to two loans which had been on non-performing status since 2006 and were charged-off in the fourth quarter of 2007. Both of these loans were adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses at the time of the charge-off.

Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were .67% at December 31, 2007, compared to .62% as of December 31, 2006. The increase in non-performing loans is primarily attributable to placing the remainder of the loans with one relationship on nonaccrual status during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1,975,000 and $4,838,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007 and the year ending December 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to $800,000 and $2,408,000 for the same periods in 2006. The Company increased the provision for loan losses during 2007 in response to the softening of credit quality throughout its markets. In addition, the provision for loan losses for the year of 2006 was reduced by several large recoveries received during the second quarter of 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.02% at December 31, 2007, as compared to 1.07% for December 31, 2006. The non-performing loan coverage ratio was 153.31% at December 31, 2007 compared to 173.05% at December 31, 2006.
