PR Newswire
TUPELO, Miss.

TUPELO, Miss., Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BancorpSouth, Inc. (NYSE: BXS) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.

Highlights for the fourth quarter of 2015 included:

  • Net income of $21.2 million or $0.22 per diluted share.
  • Net operating income of $31.4 million or $0.33 per diluted share.
  • Generated net loan growth of $153.2 million, or 5.9 percent on an annualized basis and deposit growth of $189.2 million, or 6.7 percent on an annualized basis.
  • Net interest margin remained stable at 3.58 percent.  
  • Continued stable credit quality resulted in no recorded provision for credit losses for the quarter.
  • Other real estate owned ("OREO") declined $8.9 million, or 37.7 percent, as a result of the disposition of several large parcels of property.  Related foreclosed property expense was elevated at $3.0 million.
  • Incurred a charge in the fourth quarter of 2015 of $16.5 million related to the settlement of the 2010 class action lawsuit for $24 million related to overdraft fees.

The Company reported net income of $21.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with net income of $28.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014 and net income of $34.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.  Additionally, the Company reported net income of $127.5 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $116.8 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2014.  

The Company reported net operating income of $31.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $28.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $34.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. 

"Our fourth quarter results were impacted by elevated non-interest expense, particularly related to the legal settlement," remarked Dan Rollins, BancorpSouth Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "While this settlement has an adverse impact on current quarter earnings, we believe it was in the best interest of our shareholders to put this case behind us and move forward.  We also had the opportunity to dispose of several large parcels of foreclosed property, including our largest individual property, resulting in an $8.9 million decline in total OREO.  Despite elevated legal and foreclosed property expense, we continue to be pleased with our core fundamental performance.  We reported nice loan and deposit growth for the quarter.  Additionally, both our net interest margin and our credit quality indicators remained stable.  Finally, we continue to challenge expenses as many of our other core expense line items were either flat or down for the quarter.

"Additionally, we have begun settlement discussions with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the U.S. Department of Justice regarding their joint investigation of our fair lending practices.  While it is too early to speculate on the potential timing or outcome of these discussions, we are pleased that these agencies have opened this dialogue with us and we are working toward a resolution.  However, if we are able to reach a settlement of this investigation, there is no guarantee that the terms would permit our pending mergers to move forward."  The Company is currently unable to estimate any potential liability that may result from this matter.  Prior to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2015, should a settlement be reached that results in a liability, the financial information in this release could be revised.   

Net Interest Revenue

Net interest revenue was $111.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 4.5 percent from $106.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and an increase of 0.1 percent from $111.1 million for the third quarter of 2015.  The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.58 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 3.60 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 3.59 percent for the third quarter of 2015.  Yields on loans and leases were 4.15 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with 4.30 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 4.22 percent for the third quarter of 2015, while yields on total interest earning assets were 3.79 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with 3.85 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 3.82 percent for the third quarter of 2015.  The average cost of deposits was 0.21 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 0.25 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 0.22 percent for the third quarter of 2015.

OREO decreased $8.9 million to $14.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 from $23.7 million at September 30, 2015.  This net decrease reflected $1.6 million of OREO added through foreclosure, offset by sales of OREO of $8.2 million.  Write-downs in the value of existing properties were $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2015.  Sales of OREO during the fourth quarter of 2015 resulted in a net loss of $0.5 million compared to a net gain of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2015.  At December 31, 2015, OREO was carried at 39.3 percent of the aggregate loan balances at the time of foreclosure, compared with 42.8 percent at September 30, 2015.

Summary

Rollins concluded, "I am proud of our team's continued progress as we all work together to improve our financial and operating performance.  During 2015, our constant focus on expense control allowed us to keep total non-interest expense essentially flat for the year, excluding the impact of the class action settlement.  We grew net loans and leases by 6.8 percent and total deposits by 3.3 percent while maintaining a stable net interest margin.  Credit quality improved as well, as evidenced by our improvement in classified asset levels, low levels of net charge-offs, and negative provision for credit losses for the year.  As we look forward to 2016, I'm confident our team of professionals will find a way to deliver on our goal of growing shareholder value."

BancorpSouth, Inc.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

























Management evaluates the Company's capital position and operating performance by utilizing certain financial measures not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), including pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, net operating income, tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets, return on tangible equity, pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets, tangible book value per share, and operating earnings per share.  The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures in this news release for the applicable periods presented.  Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures (i) provides important supplemental information that contributes to a proper understanding of the Company's operating performance, (ii) enables a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business and (iii) allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance in a manner similar to Management, the financial services industry, bank stock analysts and bank regulators.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.  These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures, and the Company strongly encourages investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this news release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure.  In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
