The third quarter of 2017 included an after-tax gain on sales of securities of $220,000 and a non-recurring after-tax expense of $587,000 related to the branch closures during the quarter. The second quarter 2017 net loss included an after-tax charge of $872,000 for severance and retention accruals, an after-tax charge of $371,000 resulting from the write-down of assets held for sale, and a one-time after-tax charge of $302,000 related to discontinued branch projects. Excluding these non-operating income and expenses, diluted earnings for the third quarter of 2017 were $0.07 per common share, compared to a loss of $0.38 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2017 and earnings of $0.14 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016.

Jim McLemore, President and CEO, remarked, "We are pleased to report operating earnings for the quarter of $0.07 per share. We remain very focused on our priorities of reducing credit risk, improving our risk culture, pre-tax pre-provision earnings and overall efficiency, and positioning ourselves to repay SBLF. While quantifiable measures of progress like earnings, classified assets, non-performing assets, energy exposure, net charge-offs and loan loss provision all reflected improvement this quarter, we are also working very diligently to improve the underlying processes and organizational capabilities, including investing in talent, that are essential to the long-term success of the Bank. We continue to rationalize our distribution system as we closed 7 branches at the end of September and have 2 more branches under contract to sell in December.

"We are extremely focused on strengthening our risk management capabilities that target root causes including credit risk management staffing, policies, procedures, systems and practices. While the buildout of these core capabilities will require substantial time and resources, this commitment to improve our credit culture is vital to reduce risk and improve the quality of our earnings over the longer term. Our employees have embraced the need for these changes, and we appreciate their dedication, hard work and support."

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $53.9 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $2.5 million compared to $56.4 million reported at June 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to the payoffs/paydowns of $8.8 million of non-accrual loans and the charge-off of $1.8 million of non-accrual loans. These decreases were partially offset by $7.1 million of loans placed on non-accrual during the quarter. Allowance coverage for nonperforming loans increased to 48.47% at September 30, 2017, compared to 44.88% at June 30, 2017. The ALLL/total loans ratio was 2.03% at September 30, 2017 and 1.99% at June 30, 2017. Including valuation accounting adjustments on acquired loans, the total valuation accounting adjustment plus ALLL was 2.13% of loans at September 30, 2017. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to total loans decreased to 1.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 4.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Total nonperforming assets to total loans plus ORE and other assets repossessed was 4.35% at September 30, 2017 compared to 4.54% at June 30, 2017. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings, accruing ("TDRs, accruing") totaled $1.6 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2017. Classified assets, including ORE, were $139.7 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $148.8 million at June 30, 2017. Payoffs/paydowns of $15.8 million and charge-offs of $2.5 million of loans rated as classified at June 30, 2017 were partially offset by downgrades to classified loans of $8.7 million during the quarter. The classified to capital ratio at MidSouth Bank was 66.8% at September 30, 2017 versus 72.0% at June 30, 2017.

Mr. McLemore noted "We are pleased to see progress across all of our credit quality metrics this quarter. We continue to work to aggressively identify problem loans through improvement in our internal processes and to identify and appropriately recognize loan loss content in a timely manner. We are also working with our borrowers to improve the Bank's position on problem loans. With our recent capital raise of $61 million, we are in a position of strength to deal with our problem loans. At the same time, we are committed to be as judicious as possible in preserving capital as we resolve problem loans.

"Although pleased with our progress in the third quarter and to date in the fourth quarter, with our elevated level of classified assets, the ongoing weaknesses in the energy services sector and our efforts to more aggressively identify and resolve problem loans, we believe it is appropriate to measure progress over multiple quarters."

Third Quarter 2017 vs. Second Quarter 2017 Earnings Comparison

Net earnings available to common shareholders totaled $856,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The third and second quarters of 2017 included $338,000 and $3,000, respectively, in gain on sales of securities.

The third quarter of 2017 included a non-recurring charge of $903,000 related to branch closures. The second quarter of 2017 included non-operating expenses totaling $2.4 million which consisted of $1.3 million of severance and retention accruals, a $570,000 write-down on assets held for sale and a $465,000 non-recurring charge related to discontinued branch projects. Excluding these non-operating expenses, noninterest expense decreased $372,000 in sequential-quarter comparison. Decreases of $261,000 in salaries and benefits costs, $148,000 in provision for unfunded lines/letters of credit, $88,000 in directors fees and $77,000 in expenses on ORE were primarily offset by an increase of $468,000 in legal and professional fees. The increase in legal and professional fees is primarily due to increased outsourcing expenses to enhance risk management as well as to address the provisions of our written agreement with the OCC. The provision for loan losses decreased $8.2 million in sequential-quarter comparison. Income tax expense of $574,000 was reported for the third quarter of 2017, compared to a $3.2 million income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2017.

Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income increased $561,000 in sequential-quarter comparison, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans of $598,000 as well as a $155,000 increase in interest income on time and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. These increases were partially offset by a $157,000 decrease in FTE interest income on investment securities. Interest income on loans increased in sequential-quarter comparison due to an increase in the average yield on loans of 13 basis points, from 5.35% to 5.48%. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments, the loan yield increased 14 basis points, from 5.25% to 5.39% during the same period. The average yield on investment securities decreased 4 basis points, from 2.69% to 2.65%, and the average balance of investment securities decreased $16.3 million.

Several other smaller decreases in other non-interest expense categories contributed to the overall decrease from the third quarter of 2016. A reclass of certain hosted services subscriptions from corporate development into data processing at the beginning of 2017 caused the fluctuations in those two expense categories.

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

    (in thousands except per share data)
    -----------------------------------


    Certain financial information included in the earnings release and the associated Condensed Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited) is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP.  We are providing disclosure of the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
     measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.  "Tangible common equity" is defined as total common equity reduced by intangible assets.  "Core net interest margin" is defined as reported net interest margin less purchase accounting adjustments.  "Annualized return on
     average assets, operating" is defined as net earnings available to common shareholders adjusted for specified one-time items divided by average assets.  "Annualized return on average common equity, operating" is defined as net earnings available to common shareholders adjusted
     for specified one-time items divided by average common equity.  "Annualized return on average tangible common equity, operating" is defined as net earnings available to common shareholders adjusted for specified one-time items divided by average tangible common equity.  "Pre-
     tax, pre-provision annualized return on average assets, operating" is defined as pre-tax, pre-provision earnings adjusted for specified one-time items divided by average assets.  "Tangible book value per common share" is defined as tangible common equity divided by total
     common shares outstanding.  "Diluted earnings per share, operating" is defined as net earnings available to common shareholders adjusted for specified one-time items divided by diluted weighted-average shares.  The GAAP-based efficiency ratio is measured as noninterest
     expense as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income.  The non-GAAP efficiency ratio excludes specified one-time items in addition to securities gains and losses and gains and losses on the sale/valuation of other real estate owned and other assets
     repossessed.


    We use non-GAAP measures because we believe they are useful for evaluating our financial condition and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our performance.  We also believe these non-GAAP financial
     measures provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial condition as well as comparison to financial results for prior periods.  These results should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP,
     and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that other companies may use.
