SOUTHSIDE BANCSHARES, INC.
ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE
THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014
NASDAQ Global Select Market Symbol - “SBSI”

Tyler, Texas, (March 2, 2015) Southside Bancshares, Inc. (“Southside” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SBSI) today reported its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014.
Southside reported a net loss of $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $16.1 million, or 132.4%, when compared to net income of $12.2 million for the same period in 2013. The net loss for the fourth quarter is a result of recording approximately $14.8 million of merger-related expenses in connection with the acquisition of OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. (“Omni”) and a loss of approximately $4.5 million due to the completion of the sale of subprime automobile loans purchased by SFG Finance, LLC (“SFG”). The merger-related expenses primarily consisted of stock compensation expense, increased professional fees and expenses to cancel software contracts. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $20.4 million, or 49.4%, to $20.8 million when compared to $41.2 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income during the year ended December 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to merger expenses related to the Omni acquisition, the loss related to the sale of the SFG loans and repossessed assets and a decrease in the gain on the sale of securities available for sale of $5.6 million.
Diluted (losses) earnings per common share were $(0.20) and $0.65 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of $0.85, or 130.8%. For the year ended December 31, 2014, diluted earnings per common share decreased $1.10, or 50.2% to $1.09 when compared to $2.19 for the same period in 2013.
The return on average shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 7.24%, compared to 16.50% for the same period in 2013.  The return on average assets was 0.60% for the year ended December 31, 2014 when compared to 1.22% for the same period in 2013.
“During the fourth quarter we completed the acquisition of Omni and the sale of the subprime automobile loans purchased by our wholly-owned subsidiary SFG, including the repossessed assets SFG held,” stated Sam Dawson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southside Bancshares, Inc.  “We recorded merger-related expense of approximately $14.8 million during the quarter, comprised primarily of $8.9 million of post combination expense for the acceleration of unvested Omni stock options and restricted stock, $2.7 million of investment banking expenses and $2.6 million of expense to cancel Omni software contracts. In addition, during the fourth quarter we recorded an additional loss from the completion of the sale of the SFG subprime automobile loans and repossessed assets of approximately $4.5 million comprised primarily of $2.4 million due to a reduction in the selling price for the SFG loans, $516,000 of additional impairment, $500,000 for a reserve and approximately $500,000 associated with severance packages.”
“With our Omni merger now complete, we look forward to focusing our attention in 2015 on strategically growing our franchise in the greater Fort Worth market area along with our other key markets in the greater Austin area and East Texas. In addition to a focus on integration efforts related to the merger in the first quarter of the year we will concentrate on further organic growth in our commercial loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios. Cost containment efforts as a result of the merger and other bank wide initiatives will also be a major focus area during 2015. Some of our operation areas are being streamlined or further automated to create additional cost efficiencies or to provide enhanced customer service levels.”
“We believe the Texas markets we serve continue to offer significant opportunities to grow our franchise despite the decrease in oil prices. Prices for West Texas Intermediate Crude have decreased from over $100 per barrel last summer to approximately $50 per barrel. Historically, Southside and Omni have never been large energy lenders. At December 31, 2014, we had approximately $40 million of energy-related loans representing approximately 1.8% of total loans. In addition, the markets we serve appear to be less directly impacted by the decline in oil prices than other markets in Texas. However, we are aware that the longer oil prices remain at these levels, the greater the likelihood there may be some residual effects in our market areas. On a positive note for Texas consumers, low oil prices translate to lower gasoline prices and Texas is a large state where daily vehicle use is essential and prevalent. As a result, as long as oil prices remain at these levels, Texas consumers will benefit from the resulting reduced gasoline prices.”
“We are pleased to report that in January 2015, SBSI was included in the S&P SmallCap 600. We are excited about Southside’s prospects and plans for 2015 and believe they will provide an even stronger foundation for our growing franchise in the coming years.”






Loans and Deposits
For the year ended December 31, 2014, total loans increased by $829.9 million, or 61.4%, when compared to December 31, 2013.  This increase was mainly attributable to the merger with Omni during the fourth quarter 2014. Primarily due to the merger and to a lesser extent loan growth, during the year ended December 31, 2014, 1-4 family real estate loans increased $298.8 million, other real estate loans increased $222.7 million, construction loans increased $118.3 million, loans to individuals increased $100.5 million, commercial loans increased $77.7 million and municipal loans increased $11.9 million.
Nonperforming assets decreased for the year of 2014 by $1.3 million, or 9.8%, to $12.3 million, or 0.26% of total assets, when compared to 0.39% at December 31, 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the allowance for loan losses decreased $5.6 million, or 29.6%, to $13.3 million, or 0.61% of total loans, when compared to 1.40% at December 31, 2013. The $5.6 million decrease was due to the transfer of the subprime automobile loans to loans held for sale during the third quarter and the subsequent sale in November. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of total loans was due to the fact there was no allowance for loan losses recorded for the Omni loans since credit was considered in the fair valuing of the loans and the timing of merger, December 17, 2014, in relation to year ended December 31, 2014.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, deposits, net of brokered deposits, increased $873.1 million, or 35.3%, compared to December 31, 2013, due to the merger with Omni.
Net Interest Income for the Three Months
Net interest income decreased $3.3 million, or 11.5%, to $25.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, when compared to $28.7 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of the decrease in investment securities tax-exempt interest income of $2.4 million and a decrease in loan income of $1.5 million which was partially offset by an increase of $498,000 in interest income from mortgage-backed securities, compared to the same period in 2013. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, our net interest spread decreased to 3.29% when compared to 3.87% for the same period in 2013.  The net interest margin decreased to 3.42% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to 4.00% for the same period in 2013.  The reason for the decrease in the net interest spread and margin was the decrease in the yield on the interest-earning assets which was primarily due to the sale of the higher yielding SFG subprime automobile loans, which more than offset the slight decrease in the yield on the interest-bearing liabilities compared to the same period in 2013.
Net Interest Income for the Year
Due to the merger occurring so late in the year on December 17, 2014, Omni did not contribute significantly for the year or three months ended December 31, 2014. Net interest income increased $5.2 million, or 5.1%, to $106.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, when compared to $101.6 million for the same period in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our net interest spread increased to 3.63% from 3.54% for the same period in 2013.  The net interest margin increased to 3.77% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 3.69% for the same period in 2013.  
Net Loss for the Three Months
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, we recorded a net loss of $3.9 million, a decrease of $16.1 million or 132.4% when compared to net income of $12.2 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $9.6 million due primarily to compensation expense related to the Omni acquisition and severance expense related to the sale of SFG loans, a decrease in interest income of $3.4 million of which $1.5 million was primarily due to the sale of SFG loans and $2.4 million was due to the decrease of investment securities tax-exempt interest income, an increase in provision for loan losses of $561,000 due to the write down and transfer of SFG purchased loans to held for sale, and the impairment charge of $516,000 on our investment in SFG, the recording of a reserve of $500,000 due to the sale of the SFG loans, which was partially offset by an increase in net gain on sale of available for sale securities of $1.9 million.
Noninterest expense increased $17.1 million, or 85.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefit expense, professional fees and software and data processing expense associated with the Omni merger, which were partially offset by a decrease in advertising, travel and entertainment.






Net Income for the Year
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $20.4 million, or 49.4%, to $20.8 million, when compared to $41.2 million for the same period in 2013. This decrease was due to a decrease in net gain on sale of available for sale securities of $5.6 million, a $6.1 million increase in provision for loan losses primarily from the sale of SFG loans, the impairment charge of $2.8 million on our investment in SFG and merger related expenses related to the acquisition of Omni comprised primarily of an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $8.9 million due to compensation expense resulting from the acceleration of unvested Omni stock options and restricted stock in connection with the Omni stock plans in place, an increase in professional fees related to the merger of $4.2 million and an increase in software and data processing expense of $2.6 million due to canceling Omni software contracts. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $5.2 million and a decrease in provision for income tax expense of $7.3 million.
Noninterest expense increased $16.0 million, or 19.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefit expense, professional fees and software and data processing expense associated with the Omni merger, which were partially offset by decreases in advertising, travel and entertainment and FHLB prepayment fees.
