Tuesday, July 21, 2009 7:12 PM


GULFPORT, Miss., July 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hancock Holding Company (Nasdaq:HBHC) today announced net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Hancock's second quarter 2009 net income was $13.7 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.0 percent, compared to $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2009. Compared to the second quarter of 2008, net income was down $7.2 million, or 34.5 percent. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2009 were $0.43, a decrease of $0.01 from the first quarter, and a decrease of $0.23 from the same quarter a year ago. Hancock's return on average assets for the second quarter of 2009 was 0.78 percent compared to 0.79 percent for the first quarter of 2009 and to 1.36 percent for the second quarter of 2008. Net income for the first six months of 2009 was $27.8 million, a decrease of $13.3 million, or 32.3 percent, compared to the first six months of 2008. Diluted earnings per share for first six months of 2009 were $0.87, compared to $1.29 per share for the first six months of 2008.

Continuing a proactive stance toward recognizing credit issues, Hancock's second quarter net income was impacted by a higher level of net charge-offs compared to the first quarter. The company recorded net charge-offs of $16.0 million, or 1.50 percent of average loans, in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $7.1 million, or 0.67 percent of average loans, in the first quarter. Of the overall increase in net charge-offs of $8.9 million, $8.0 million was reflected in commercial loans. The higher level of commercial charge-offs were largely in land development and commercial real estate credits in various parts of the Company's four state footprint and were confined to a relatively small number of credits (nine credits alone totaled $8.4 million of charge-offs). Partially offsetting the higher level of net charge-offs was a significant widening of the company's net interest margin (te). The net interest margin (te) widened by 28 basis points to 3.78 percent in the second quarter from 3.50 percent in the first quarter. In addition, the level of net interest income (te) increased $3.3 million, or 5.8 percent, from the first quarter.

Commenting on the Company's second quarter earnings, Hancock Holding Company President and Chief Executive Officer Carl J. Chaney stated, "We are pleased with the quarter's margin improvement and revenue growth and feel very good about the strength of the company's core earnings. While disappointed in the quarter's level of net charge-offs, we continue to feel confident that any asset quality issues are being recognized in a proactive and timely manner."

Highlights & Key Operating Items from Hancock's Second Quarter Results

Balance Sheet

Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $7.0 billion, down slightly from $7.1 billion at March 31, 2009. Compared to June 30, 2008, total assets increased $0.8 billion, or 12.4 percent. The aforementioned growth in assets was organic as the Company did not record any acquisitions in the past 12 months. Hancock also remains very well capitalized with total equity of $630.8 million at June 30, 2009, up $57.4 million, or 10.0 percent, from June 30, 2008. Hancock's tangible equity ratio at June 30, 2009 was 8.06 percent, still among the highest in the Company's peer group and without the aid of government assistance.

Loan Growth

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Hancock's average total loans were $4.3 billion, which represented an increase of $565.3 million, or 15.2 percent, from the same quarter a year ago and was down $8.0 million, or 0.2 percent from the first quarter of 2009. Period-end loans were up $38.0 million, or 0.9 percent, from last quarter. The increase in period-end loans was in commercial/real estate (up $63.4 million, or 2.4 percent). This increase was partially offset by decreases in mortgage (down $14.9 million or 3.5 percent), direct consumer loans (down $4.7 million or 0.8 percent), indirect consumer loans (down $4.5 million, or 1.1 percent), and finance company loans (down $1.3 million or 1.1 percent).

Deposit Growth

Period-end deposits for the second quarter were $5.7 billion, up $635.4 million, or 12.7 percent, from June 30, 2008, but were down $147.8 million, or 2.5 percent, from March 31, 2009. The decrease in period-end deposits as compared to March 31, 2009 was primarily in public fund deposits. Average deposits were down $202.8 million, or 3.4 percent, from the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in average deposits was reflected in time deposits (down $155.5 million) and public fund deposits (down $123.2 million). Increases in non-interest bearing deposits (up $41.2 million) and interest bearing transaction deposits (up $34.6 million) slightly offset the decrease.

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs for 2009's second quarter were $16.0 million, or 1.5 percent of average loans, up $8.9 million from the $7.1 million, or 0.67 percent of average loans, reported for the first quarter of 2009. Non-performing assets as a percent of total loans and foreclosed assets was 1.01 percent at June 30, 2009, down from 1.04 percent at March 31, 2009. Non-accrual loans decreased $4.1 million while other real estate owned (ORE) increased $2.9 million compared to the prior quarter. Loans 90 days past due or greater (accruing) as a percent of period end loans increased 7 basis points from March 31, 2009, to 0.27 percent at June 30, 2009.

Hancock recorded a provision for loan losses of $16.9 million in the second quarter which, when combined with the quarter's net charge-offs of $16.0 million, resulted in a $0.9 million increase in the allowance for loan losses between March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. This increase was necessary to adjust the allowance to the level dictated by the Company's reserving methodologies. The Company's allowance for loan losses was $63.9 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $63.0 million reported at March 31, 2009. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of period-end loans remained constant at 1.49 percent at the end of the second quarter compared to March 31, 2009.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income (te) for the second quarter increased $5.0 million, or 9.2 percent, while the net interest margin (te) of 3.78 percent was 13 basis points narrower than the same quarter a year ago. Growth in average earning assets was strong compared to the same quarter a year ago with an increase of $725.6 million, or 13.0 percent, mostly reflected in higher average loans (up $565.3 million, or 15.2 percent). With short-term interest rates down significantly from the same quarter a year ago, the Company's loan yield fell 80 basis points, pushing the yield on average earning assets down 77 basis points. However, total funding costs over the same quarter a year ago were down 64 basis points.

Compared to the prior quarter, the net interest margin (te) expanded 28 basis points, and the level of net interest income was up $3.3 million, or 5.8 percent. The yield on average earning assets was even with last quarter at 5.6 percent while the total cost of funds reduced by 27 basis points, primarily due to an across the board reduction in all interest-bearing deposits and liabilities. The most significant reductions were in time deposits (cost down 44 basis points) and public fund deposits (cost down 26 basis points).

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, for the second quarter was up $3.1 million, or 9.8 percent, compared to the same quarter a year ago and was up $5.4 million, or 18.8 percent, compared to the previous quarter. The primary factors impacting the higher levels of non-interest income compared to the same quarter a year ago were higher levels of other income (up $3.5 million or 97.0 percent) mostly due to the sale of land held for sale of $1.4 million and secondary mortgage market operations (up $1.1 million or 142.6 percent). These increases were partially offset primarily by investment and annuity fees (down $1.0 million or 38.0 percent) and trust fees (down $0.7 million or 15.7 percent). The increase in non-interest income (excluding securities transactions) for the second quarter compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to other income (up $3.6 million or 106.9 percent) mostly due to the sale of land held for sale of $1.4 million, service charge income (up $0.7 million or 7.0 percent), secondary mortgage market operations income (up $0.7 million or 57.8 percent), insurance fees (up $0.6 million or 17.3 percent) and trust fees (up $0.5 million or 15.9 percent). These increases were partially offset primarily by investment and annuity fees (down $1.2 million or 40.9 percent).

Operating Expense & Taxes

Operating expenses for the second quarter were $6.0 million, or 11.6 percent, higher compared to the same quarter a year ago, but were only $2.4 million, or 4.3 percent, higher than the previous quarter. The increase from the same quarter a year ago was reflected in higher personnel expense (up $1.7 million or 6.2 percent) and other operating expenses (up $4.3 million or 24.6 percent). The increase in operating expense from last quarter was due to other operating expense (up $4.4 million or 26 percent), offset by lower personnel expense (down $2.1 million or 6.7 percent). The increase in other operating expense compared to both last quarter and the second quarter of 2008 is due mostly to the FDIC special assessment of $3.4 million that was accrued this quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the effective income tax rates were approximately 19 percent and 28 percent, respectively. An overall higher level of tax exempt interest income and the recognition of certain tax credits had a significant impact on the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2009. The total amount of tax-exempt income earned during the first six months of 2009 was $10.4 million compared to $8.8 million in the comparable period in 2008. The total amount of tax credits recognized during the first six months of 2009 was $2.6 million compared to $2.0 million in the comparable period in 2008. The source of the tax credits for 2009 resulted from investments in New Markets Tax Credits, Qualified Zone Activity Bond Credits, Work Opportunity Tax Credits, and Historic Tax Credits.
