BancorpSouth, Inc.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $86.4 million, a 28.7 percent increase from $67.1 million for the same period last year. Basic and diluted net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1.07, compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.81 and $0.80 respectively, for the same period in 2001.
"Our core earnings remain strong," said Aubrey Patterson, BancorpSouth Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. At the same time, our net income for the quarter increased 21 percent despite the impact of a $9.2 million provision for the impairment of our mortgage-servicing asset. As consumers have continued to take advantage of the historically low mortgage interest rates, prepayment speeds have increased and have impaired the value of our mortgage-servicing asset. Impairment is a non-cash valuation charge that generally moves in tandem with mortgage interest rates, so we anticipate being able to recapture much of this impairment when mortgage loan interest rates rise."
Partially offsetting this impairment charge was a $2.5 million gain in the third quarter of 2002 on the sale of securities that the Company had previously purchased. The net effect of both the mortgage-servicing asset impairment provision and the gain on the sale of securities reduced net income for the third quarter of 2002 by approximately $4.1 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share.
Net Interest Revenue
Total interest revenue was $148.9 million in the third quarter of 2002, down 9.7 percent from $165.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 and down slightly from $150.2 million in the second quarter of 2002. Total interest expense for the third quarter was $54.9 million, down 31.9 percent from $80.5 million for the third quarter of 2001 and essentially unchanged from $54.7 million for the second quarter of 2002.
The average taxable equivalent yield on earning assets was 6.46 percent in the third quarter of 2002 versus 7.70 percent in the third quarter of 2001 and 6.69 percent in the second quarter of 2002. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during the third quarter of 2002 was 2.72 percent, compared to 4.35 percent during the third quarter of 2001 and 2.80 percent during the second quarter of 2002.
Net interest revenue was $94.0 million in the third quarter of 2002, up 11.4 percent from $84.4 million in the third quarter of 2001. Net interest margin was 4.13 percent in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 4.00 percent in the third quarter of 2001 and 4.30 percent in the second quarter of 2002.
"Interest rates have remained relatively flat during 2002," continued Patterson, "and we, like most other banks, are dealing with pressure on our net interest margin. Through careful pricing of assets and liabilities, we have been able to maintain our net interest margin at favorable levels while continuing to maintain our market share."
Deposit and Loan Activity
At September 30, 2002, total assets were $10.1 billion, up 7.8 percent from $9.4 billion at September 30, 2001. Total deposits at September 30, 2002 grew 8.7 percent to $8.5 billion from $7.8 billion at September 30, 2001. Total loans at September 30, 2002 were $6.4 billion, an increase of 5.0 percent over loans of $6.1 billion on the same date a year ago.
"We are pleased with our growth in loans and deposits and are especially pleased with our growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits, which increased 9.7% over the same date of 2001," said Patterson. "We attribute our success to the quality of our service as well as our outstanding sales effort. BancorpSouth provides the service level of traditional relationship banking while offering a sophisticated array of products that smaller banks generally cannot provide," concluded Patterson.
Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2002 was $8.2 million, up 19.8% from $6.9 million for the same quarter last year and up 13.8% from $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2002. Annualized net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2002 were 0.44 percent of average loans compared to 0.34 percent of average loans for the third quarter of 2001 and 0.39 percent of average loans for the second quarter of 2002.
At September 30, 2002, non-performing assets totaled $55.3 million, or 0.86 percent of loans, compared to $62.6 million, or 1.03 percent of loans, at September 30, 2001 and $59.9 million, or 0.94 percent of loans, at June 30, 2002. The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2002 was 1.37 percent of loans, compared to 1.36 percent of loans at September 30, 2001 and 1.36 percent of loans at June 30, 2002.
"Loan losses are running ahead of last year's pace due to the economic slowdown," said Patterson. "We increased our provision for credit losses consistent with our conservative stance regarding credit quality. We believe this vigilance will continue to serve us well."
Non-Interest Revenue
Total non-interest revenue for the third quarter of 2002 was $27.9 million compared to $26.7 million in the 2001 third quarter and $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2002. The most significant event affecting non-interest revenue during the quarter was the impairment charge from revaluation of BancorpSouth's mortgage-servicing asset. The impairment charge was $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2002, compared to $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 and $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2002. While experiencing a negative impact from impairment of BancorpSouth's mortgage- servicing asset as mortgage interest rates declined, mortgage loan originations for BancorpSouth increased by 52% to $269.1 million for the third quarter of 2002 when compared to the $177.6 million for same period of 2001. We expect this high level of new mortgage loan originations to have a strong impact on future earnings. The volume of mortgage loans being serviced totaled $2.9 billion at September 30, 2002, compared to $2.8 billion at June 30, 2002 and $2.7 billion at September 30, 2001.
Service charges increased 23.1 percent to $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2002 when compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2001, reflecting an expansion of BancorpSouth's deposit services which began in March 2002 and which should continue to positively impact non-interest revenue.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2002 was $75.8 million, up 3.4 percent from $73.3 million for the 2001 third quarter and up 1.6 percent from $74.6 million for the second quarter of 2002. Salaries and employee benefits continue to increase primarily due to commission based payments (especially commissions to mortgage loan originators), increased incentive accruals and the increased cost of employee benefits. The other components of non-interest expense generally reflect decreases as BancorpSouth continues to focus on expense control.
Capital Management
In February of 2002, BancorpSouth announced a common stock repurchase plan, which authorized the repurchase of up to 4.1 million shares within a period of 18 months. During the third quarter of 2002, BancorpSouth repurchased 2,343,403 shares of common stock under this plan, resulting in as of September 30, 2002, a total of 2,568,508 shares having been repurchased under this plan.
