THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
NASDAQ Global Select Market Symbol - "SBSI"
 
Tyler, Texas, (July 21, 2011) Southside Bancshares, Inc. (“Southside” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:  SBSI) today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Southside reported net income of $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.8 million, or 19.3%, when compared to the same period in 2010.  The gain on sale of available for sale securities decreased to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.7 million for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $2.7 million, or $1.7 million, net of income tax expense.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $2.5 million, or 12.2%, to $18.4 million when compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 2010.  The gain on sale of available for sale securities decreased $9.2 million, or $6.0 million, net of income tax expense, to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to $15.0 million for the same period in 2010.
 
Diluted earnings per common share increased $0.11, or 19.6%, to $0.67 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to $0.56 for the same period in 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, diluted earnings per common share decreased $0.14, or 11.1%, to $1.12 when compared to $1.26 for the same period in 2010.
 
The return on average shareholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was 16.63%, representing a decrease when compared to 20.00% for the same period in 2010.  The annual return on average assets decreased to 1.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 1.42% for the same period in 2010.
 
“We are exceptionally pleased to report Southside’s financial results for the second quarter of 2011,” stated B. G. Hartley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Southside Bancshares, Inc.  “The 19.3% increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010, was led by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in credit costs resulting from improving credit quality which were partially offset by a decrease in gains on sale of available for sale securities.  We are also pleased to report that nonperforming assets, currently 0.50% of assets, continued to decrease, our net interest margin and spread both increased when compared to the same quarter in 2010, deposits continued to increase and our equity to total assets ratio increased.  In addition to our financial results, we are pleased to report that we have purchased the remaining 50% interest in Southside Financial Group, LLC, (“SFG”) giving Southside 100% ownership of this entity as of July 15, 2011.  During the second quarter the Board approved equity grants in the form of stock options and restrictive stock units to various officers of Southside.  These equity grants were consistent with the directives of the shareholder approved Southside Bancshares, Inc. 2009 Incentive Plan.  We believe these grants are an important tool in key employee retention.  Finally, it is a pleasure to report that our new trust operations center is now fully operational.”
 
“The purchase of the remaining 50% interest in SFG was a direct result of new regulations adopted as part of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd Frank”).  Dodd Frank changed the manner in which we can do business through a non-bank entity.  Given the importance of our SFG operations, we determined that purchasing the remaining 50% interest in this company and integrating its operations into Southside Bank would be in the bank’s best interest.  This purchase will be immediately accretive to earnings.  In addition, SFG is already fully consolidated on our balance sheet and this purchase will not limit or change our ability to allocate capital in order to grow our franchise.”
 
“The overall economy has unfortunately entered yet another soft patch, as concern over shocks in Japan, sovereign debt in Europe, the U. S. budget deficit and debt ceiling and the U. S. real estate environment, among other issues, has escalated.  Interest rates generally fell during the second quarter in response to this uncertain environment.  We continue to manage our balance sheet to incorporate these developments.  We are keeping our investment balances steady to increasing, as the likelihood of accommodative monetary policy for the near-term seems relatively high.   We are also preparing for higher rates through our funding choices, as we continue to issue longer term funding with options that we control.  We primarily use callable brokered CDs, as well as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, to fulfill our long-term funding needs.  Finally, the mortgage-backed securities portion of our investment portfolio has benefited from a decline in mortgage-backed prepayments, which resulted in lower amortization expense and has increased the income generated from our premium mortgage-backed securities investment portfolio.  In summary, maintaining our securities balances serves to mitigate interest rate risk should rates remain low or even decline.  We monitor the coupons in our mortgage-backed securities and believe our high average mortgage-backed securities coupon helps mitigate the risk of a potential interest rate rise.”
 
“The environment in which we operate has and will continue to change as a result of economic growth and retrenchment, changes in technology and communication, as well as continued political and regulatory change.  We are confident that, when necessary in response to this changing environment, we should be able to refine our business model to effectively serve customers, employees and shareholders.  We are monitoring the costs of the services we provide, and will endeavor to ensure that our cost structure is commensurate with the expected revenue of our bank.  We are very proud of the Southside team, especially those who will lead us through tomorrow’s challenges.  We look forward to continuing the journey and to growing along with the communities we serve.”
 
 
 

 
Loans and Deposits
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total loans decreased by $39.1million, or 3.6% when compared to December 31, 2010.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, real estate loans decreased $11.4 million, commercial loans decreased $14.6 million and loans to individuals decreased $17.1 million.  Municipal loans increased $4.0 million, partially offsetting these decreases.
 
Nonperforming assets decreased by $2.0 million, or 11.3%, to $15.7 million, or 0.50% of total assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, when compared to December 31, 2010.  This decrease is primarily a result of a decrease in nonaccrual and restructured loans.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, deposits, net of brokered deposits, increased $102.7 million, or 5.2%, compared to December 31, 2010.  During this six month period we allowed approximately $30 million of public fund deposits to roll off, which were offset by a business account that experienced a temporary $70 million increase.
 
Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income increased $5.2 million, or 26.8%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, when compared to $19.4 million for the same period in 2010.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our net interest spread increased to 3.52% from 2.77% for the same period in 2010.  The net interest margin increased to 3.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 3.09% for the same period in 2010.  The net interest margin and net interest spread for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to 3.81% and 3.52%, respectively, from 3.55% and 3.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in our net interest margin and spread for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is primarily a result of slower prepayments on our mortgage-backed securities during 2011.  During the first six months of 2010 prepayments increased significantly due to announcements by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that they would repurchase delinquent loans that had not been repurchased for several months and that they would begin repurchasing these delinquent loans in a more timely manner.
 
Net interest income increased $4.4 million, or 10.3%, to $46.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, when compared to $42.4 million for the same period in 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our net interest spread increased to 3.39% from 3.08% for the same period in 2010.  The net interest margin increased to 3.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 3.41% for the same period in 2010.
 
Net Income for the Three Months
 
The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010, was a result of an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses which was partially offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of available for sale securities.
 
Noninterest expense increased $137,000, or 0.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.
 
Net Income for the Six Months
 
The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010, was a result of a decrease in noninterest income that included a decrease in security gains, and an increase in noninterest expense which was partially offset by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses.
 
Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 4.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily a result of increases in personnel expense associated with our overall growth and expansion, occupancy expense due to added facilities, and FDIC insurance premium increases.
