FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 18, 2013

SIMMONS FIRST ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

Pine Bluff, AR – Simmons First National Corporation (NASDAQ-GS: SFNC) today announced second quarter 2013 net income of $6.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.40, an increase of $0.02, or 5.3%, compared to the same quarter last year. Year-to-date net income was $12.5 million, or $0.76 diluted earnings per share, an increase of $0.01 the same period last year.

“Considering interest rates continue at historical lows, we were pleased with our 5.3% quarterly EPS increase. More so, we were pleased with the positive trends in our balance sheet, as reflected in our normalized organic loan growth of approximately 3%, which enabled us to produce a net interest margin of 3.96%. The organic loan growth, coupled with strong asset quality, bodes well for the balance of the year,” commented George A. Makris, Jr., CEO-Elect.

Loans

Total loans, including those acquired, were $1.9 billion at June 30, 2013, an increase of $149.7 million, or 8.8%, compared to the same period in 2012. Loans acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions grew $113.0 million, net of discounts, and legacy loans (excluding acquired loans) grew $35.7 million. “This was the third consecutive quarter of organic loan growth.  While still not enough to call a trend, we believe it is very positive in that the growth is coming throughout our markets in Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. Needless to say, the economy remains in a slow recovery, which makes this growth even more significant,” added Makris.

Deposits

At June 30, 2013, total deposits were $2.8 billion, an increase of $183.8 million, or 7.0%, compared to the same period in 2012.  Total non-time deposits totaled $2.0 billion, or 71% of total deposits.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $29.6 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 8.6%, from the same period of 2012. Net interest margin was 3.96% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Included in interest income for both periods was the additional yield accretion recognized as a result of updated estimates of the cash flows of the loan pools acquired in the Company’s 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions. Each quarter, the Company estimates the cash flows expected to be collected from the acquired loan pools, and adjustments may or may not be required. The cash flows estimate has increased based on payment histories and reduced loss expectations of the loan pools. This resulted in increased interest income that is spread on a level-yield basis over the remaining expected lives of the loan pools. The increases in expected cash flows also reduce the amount of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which are recorded as indemnification assets. The impact of the adjustments on the Company’s financial results for the current reporting period is shown below:

Net impact to pre-tax income
  $ 88     $ 267     $ 207     $ 673  
 
Because these adjustments will be recognized over the remaining lives of the loan pools and the remainder of the loss sharing agreements, respectively, they will impact future periods as well. The current estimate of the remaining accretable yield adjustment that will positively impact interest income is $19.5 million and the remaining adjustment to the indemnification assets that will reduce non-interest income is $16.9 million. Of the remaining adjustments, we expect to recognize $5.5 million of interest income and a $5.5 million reduction of non-interest income during the remainder of 2013, resulting in no impact to pre-tax income. The accretable yield adjustments recorded in future periods will change as the Company continues to evaluate expected cash flows from the acquired loan pools.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the second quarter was $11.3 million, an increase of $180,000, or 1.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2012.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2013 was $30.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million compared to the same period in 2012. “Included in the quarter were $1.9 million in normal operating expenses attributable to our 2012 FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Normalized for these acquisition related expenses, non-interest expense for the quarter increased by only 0.8%. Obviously, we continue to have excellent expense control as a result of the implementation of our efficiency initiatives,” added Makris.

Asset Quality

Beginning in 2010, the Company has acquired loans and foreclosed real estate (“OREO”) through FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Through the loss share provisions of the purchase and assumption agreements, the FDIC agreed to reimburse the Company for 80% of the losses incurred on the disposition of covered loans and OREO. The acquired loans and OREO and any related FDIC loss share indemnification asset were presented in the Company's financial reports with a carrying value equal to the discounted net present value of expected future proceeds. At June 30, 2013, acquired loans covered by loss share were carried at $164 million, OREO covered by loss share was carried at $23 million and the FDIC loss share indemnification asset was carried at $68 million. Acquired loans and OREO not covered by loss share were carried at $64 million and $9 million, respectively. As a result of  using the discounted net present value method of valuing these assets, and due to the significant protection against possible losses provided by the FDIC loss share indemnification, all acquired assets, with the exception of OREO not covered by loss share, are excluded from the computations of the asset quality ratios for the legacy loan portfolio, except for their inclusion in total assets.

The Company's allowance for loan losses was $27.4 million at June 30, 2013, or 1.66% of total loans and 292% of non-performing loans. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.57% as of June 30, 2013, down 17 basis points from December 31, 2012. “On a linked quarter basis, our non-performing assets decreased $2.8 million. Included in our non-performing assets was $8.6 million, net of a credit mark, of non-covered OREO we acquired in our two recent FDIC-assisted transactions. Normalizing for the acquired OREO, our legacy non-performing assets as a percent of total assets was 0.92% as of June 30, 2013, which continues to compare favorably to the industry and our peer group,” commented Makris. For the second quarter, the annualized net charge-off ratio, excluding credit cards, was 0.23%, and the annualized credit card charge-off ratio was 1.25%.

Capital

At June 30, 2013, stockholders' equity was $402 million, book value per share was $24.67 and tangible book value per share was $20.74. The Company's ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.7% and its ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 10.1%, as of June 30, 2013.

“Our exceptional level of capital allows us to actively pursue the right opportunities that meet our strategic plan regarding mergers and acquisitions,” continued Makris. As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios remain significantly higher than regulatory “well capitalized” guidelines:

Stock Repurchase Program

Through the second quarter of 2013, the Company has repurchased approximately 327,000 shares at an average price of $25.50. The Company plans to continue to allocate its earnings, less dividends, to its stock repurchase program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to exclude the effects of the amortization of intangibles and include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant activities or nonrecurring transactions. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not historical facts should be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements of this type speak only as of the date of this news release. By nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risk and uncertainties. Various factors, including, but not limited to, economic conditions, credit quality, interest rates, loan demand and changes in the assumptions used in making the forward-looking statements, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Additional information on factors that might affect Simmons First National Corporation’s financial results is included in its Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
