TUPELO, Miss., April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BancorpSouth, Inc. (NYSE: BXS) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Highlights for the first quarter of 2014 included:


    --  Net income of $28.4 million or $0.30 per diluted share.
    --  Announced the signing of definitive merger agreements with Ouachita
        Bancshares Corp., parent company of Ouachita Independent Bank
        (collectively referred to as "OIB"), headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana,
        and Central Community Corporation, parent company of First State Bank
        Central Texas (collectively referred to as "First State Bank"),
        headquartered in Temple, Texas.
    --  Generated net loan growth of $110.4 million, or 5.0 percent annualized,
        which represents the fourth consecutive quarter of net loan growth.
    --  Reported deposit growth of $38.0 million, or 1.4 percent annualized.
    --  Produced $31.6 million of insurance commission revenue, which represents
        the highest level of quarterly insurance commission revenue in the
        Company's history.
    --  Continued progress toward reducing non-interest expenses.
    --  Net interest margin remained stable at 3.54 percent compared with 3.52
        percent for the fourth quarter of 2013.
    --  Non-performing loans and leases ("NPLs") declined $27.2 million, or 22.5
        percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, while non-performing
        assets ("NPAs") decreased $32.9 million, or 17.3 percent, over the same
        period.

The Company reported net income of $28.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014 compared with net income of $20.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013 and net income of $27.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013.

"Our financial results continue to benefit from the daily efforts of our people to grow our Company and to improve operating performance," remarked Dan Rollins, Chief Executive Officer. "Our insurance team generated $31.6 million of commission revenue, including $3.1 million contributed by the GEM agency team in Houston, which was acquired near the end of 2013. Even without the incremental GEM agency revenue, this is the largest quarterly amount of insurance commission revenue generated in our Company's history. This speaks to the success of our legacy team to continue to win new business. Our results also reflect continued positive momentum with our lending efforts. We are pleased to report loan growth for the quarter of just over $110 million, or 5 percent on an annualized basis. Net loan growth, combined with the benefit from the re-pricing of high cost time deposits, allowed us to continue to maintain our net interest margin at a relatively stable level."

"We are also excited about the opportunities presented by the two bank transactions that we announced during the quarter," commented Rollins. "OIB is a bank we have a tremendous amount of respect for in a market we already serve. We expect to gain synergies from the footprint overlap in Monroe and Shreveport while adding a very skilled lending team that will help us grow. First State Bank presents an opportunity to expand our footprint into Central Texas, which is a high growth market we have not previously served. We believe both of these transactions will allow us to better leverage our existing back office and support structure."

Earnings for the quarter reflect no recorded provision for credit losses, which is consistent with no recorded provision for the fourth quarter of 2013 and a decline from $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2013. NPLs declined $27.2 million, or 22.5 percent, during the first quarter of 2014 to $93.3 million at March 31, 2014 compared with $120.4 million at December 31, 2013 and declined $113.8 million, or 55.0 percent, from $207.0 million at March 31, 2013.

Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses

For the first quarter of 2014, no provision for credit losses was recorded, compared with $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2013 and no provision for the fourth quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2014 were $3.5 million, compared with $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.

NPLs were $93.3 million, or 1.03 percent of net loans and leases, at March 31, 2014, compared with $207.0 million, or 2.41 percent of net loans and leases, at March 31, 2013, and $120.4 million, or 1.34 percent of net loans and leases, at December 31, 2013.

NPLs at March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of $77.5 million of nonaccrual loans, compared with $92.2 million of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2013. Payments received on nonaccrual loans during the first quarter of 2014 totaled $23.2 million, compared with payments received on such loans of $25.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. NPLs at March 31, 2014 also included $1.9 million of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, compared with $1.2 million of such loans at December 31, 2013, and included restructured loans still accruing of $13.8 million at March 31, 2014, compared with $27.0 million of such loans at December 31, 2013.

Included in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2014 were $44.2 million of loans, or 57.0 percent of total nonaccrual loans, that were paying as agreed, compared with $48.1 million, or 52.2 percent of total nonaccrual loans, at December 31, 2013. These loans were generally placed on nonaccrual status because the collateral values were less than the outstanding balances, and because of uncertainty as to whether the borrowers possessed adequate liquidity or would be able to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy the debt given the short-fall in collateral values. Such loans are generally deemed to be impaired, with a specific reserve established for the difference in the balance owed and the disposition value of the collateral.

Other real estate owned ("OREO") decreased $5.7 million to $63.6 million during the first quarter of 2014 from $69.3 million at December 31, 2013. This net decrease reflected $4.9 million of OREO added through foreclosure, offset by sales of OREO of $8.8 million. Write-downs in the value of existing properties were $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Sales of OREO during the first quarter of 2014 resulted in a net loss of $0.5 million compared to a net loss of $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. At March 31, 2014, OREO was carried at 44.5 percent of the aggregate loan balances at the time of foreclosure, compared with 43.6 percent at December 31, 2013.

Noninterest revenue was $66.5 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared with $71.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $65.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Summary

Rollins concluded, "We believe that the financial results for the first quarter and the transaction announcements that we have made reflect progress towards the goals that have been communicated. We were able to reduce total non-interest expense for the third consecutive quarter, despite seasonally high personnel-related costs as well as the addition of the GEM team at the end of 2013. With that said, we still have a lot of work to do to improve our legacy core expense base. Our lending group produced net loan growth for the fourth consecutive quarter and our insurance team reported record performance. Additionally, we anticipate that the recent transactions that have been announced, both the bank and the insurance businesses, will provide us with additional resources to achieve our growth goals while also allowing us to better leverage our current operating structure."

    Certain financial information included in this press release are determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP.  Management believes such measures are relevant to understanding the capital position and performance of the Company.  The non-
     GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets, return on tangible equity, pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets, and tangible book value per share.  Additionally, disclosure
     of these non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for comparability to other financial institutions.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods different than those
     used by the Company.
