GULFPORT, Miss., April 17, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Hancock Holding Company (Nasdaq:HBHC) announced earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Hancock's first quarter 2007 earnings were $19.2 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 13 percent, from the first quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2007 were $0.58, a decrease of $0.09 from the same quarter a year ago.
For comparative purposes, net income for 2006 was affected by several items related to the impact of Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall in the Company's operating region on August 29, 2005. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company reversed $20.0 million from the storm-related allowance for loan losses due to better than expected loss experience with storm-impacted credits. In addition, the Company negotiated a final settlement with the primary property and casualty insurance provider and recognized a $5.1 million gain in 2006's fourth quarter. There were no significant storm-related items in the first and second quarters of 2006.
Recovery Update
Hancock Holding Company Chief Executive Officers Carl J. Chaney and John M. Hairston both expressed gratitude to all Hancock family members for the completion of recovery efforts from the aftermath of the 2005 storm. By April 30, 2007, the Company will complete the task of moving back into the newly restored corporate headquarters building at One Hancock Plaza.
In addition, work is progressing on the Company's new data center, located on high ground north of Interstate 10, with an expected completion date of June 1, 2007. Hancock has also completed the necessary and prudent steps of ensuring continuity of customer and business-related operations in the event of any potential disruptions.
First Quarter 2007 Financial Highlights
* Net Income and Returns: Hancock's net income for the first
quarter of 2007 was $19.2 million compared to $22.0 million for
the same quarter a year ago. Return on average assets for the
quarter was 1.32 percent compared to 1.49 percent for 2006's
first quarter. Return on average common equity was 13.77 percent
compared to 18.34 percent for the same quarter a year ago.
* Asset Quality & Allowance for Loan Losses: Hancock recorded a
provision for loan losses of $1.2 million in the first quarter,
which when combined with the quarter's net charge-offs of $1.47
million, resulted in a $0.3 million reduction in the allowance
for loan losses between December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007.
This provision was necessary to further adjust the allowance to
the level dictated by the Company's reserving methodologies. Net
charge-offs for the first quarter of 2007 were $1.47 million, or
0.18 percent of average loans, down $58,000 from the $1.52
million, or 0.19 percent of average loans, reported for the
fourth quarter of 2006. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of
2006 were a negative $0.11 million or negative 0.01 percent of
average loans. Non-performing assets as a percent of total loans
and foreclosed assets was 0.16 percent at March 31, 2007,
compared to 0.13 percent at December 31, 2006. Compared to the
first quarter of 2006, the ratio of non-performing assets as a
percent of total loans and foreclosed assets was down 19 basis
points from the 0.35 percent reported at March 31, 2006.
Non-performing assets increased $1.0 million from December 31,
2006, reflecting higher levels of non-accrual loans. The
Company's ratio of accruing loans 90 days or more past due to
total loans was 0.18 percent at March 31, 2007, compared to 0.08
percent at December 31, 2006, and to 0.22 percent at March 31,
2006. The Company's allowance for loan losses was $46.5 million
at March 31, 2007, down $.3 million from the $46.8 million
reported at December 31, 2006, and $27.4 million lower than the
$73.9 million reported at March 31, 2006. The ratio of the
allowance for loan losses as a percent of period-end loans was
1.41 percent at March 31, 2007, and 1.44 percent at December 31,
2006. The allowance coverage ratio (allowance for loan losses to
non-performers and past dues) was 414 percent for the first
quarter of 2007, as compared to 433 percent for the first quarter
of 2006.
* Loans: At March 31, 2007, Hancock's total loans were $3.3
billion, which represented an increase of $347.7 million, or 12
percent, from March 31, 2006. Period-end loans were up $49.0
million, or 2 percent, compared to December 31, 2006. Average
loans were up $91.5 million, or 12 percent annualized, from the
fourth quarter of 2006. Of that increase, approximately $50
million of growth was in Mississippi, $31 million in Louisiana,
$9 million in Florida, and $2 million in Alabama. The majority of
the increase in average loans compared to last quarter was in
commercial purpose loans (approximately $76.5 million).
* Deposits: Period-end deposits for the first quarter were $4.9
billion, down $395.2 million, or 7 percent, from March 31, 2006,
and were down $107.2 million, or 2 percent, from December 31,
2006. Average deposits were up $20.2 million, or 2 percent
annualized, from the fourth quarter of 2006. The majority of the
increase in average deposits was in public fund deposits (up
significantly due to seasonal inflows of $78.6 million) and time
deposits (up $0.8 million). Offsetting these increases was a
decrease in transaction deposits ($59.2 million). The slower
growth in deposits compared to the prior quarter and same quarter
a year ago was the result of the continued rebuilding efforts in
the region following Hurricane Katrina and the slower than
expected pace of federal grants to homeowners.
* Net Interest Income: Net interest income (te) for the first
quarter decreased $4.5 million, or 8 percent, from the first
quarter of 2006, and was $1.6 million, or 3 percent, lower than
the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company's net interest margin
(te) was 4.04 percent in the first quarter, 26 basis points
narrower than the same quarter a year ago and 2 basis points
narrower than the previous quarter. Compared to the same quarter
a year ago, the primary driver of the $4.5 million decrease in
net interest income (te) was a $104.7 million, or 2 percent,
decrease in average earning assets mainly from a reduction in
total borrowings of $82.0 million, or 29 percent, and a decrease
in average deposits of $39.8 million, or 0.8 percent. As
mentioned, the net interest margin (te) narrowed 26 basis points
as the decrease in the average earning asset yield (46 basis
points) did not offset the increase in total funding costs (72
basis points). The Company's level of net interest income (te) in
the first quarter decreased $1.6 million from the prior quarter.
The net interest margin (te) narrowed 2 basis points from the
prior quarter as the yield on average earning assets decreased 10
basis points, while total funding costs were up 12 basis points.
* Non-interest Income & Operating Expense: Non-interest income for
the first quarter was up $1.0 million, or 4 percent, compared to
the same quarter a year ago, but was down $1.6 million, or 6
percent, compared to the fourth quarter. The primary factors
impacting the higher levels of non-interest income as compared to
the same quarter a year ago, were higher levels of service charge
fees (up $1.3 million, or 17 percent) and trust fees (up $0.6
million, or 20 percent). The decrease in noninterest income for
the first quarter (excluding securities transactions) compared to
the prior quarter was due to decreases in insurance fees (down
$1.0 million) and other income (down $0.8 million). Operating
expenses for the first quarter were $0.2 million, or 0.4 percent,
higher compared to the same quarter a year ago and were $0.7
million, or 1 percent, lower than the previous quarter. The
increase from the same quarter a year ago was reflected in higher
levels of personnel expense (up $0.4 million) and occupancy
expense (up $0.4 million).
Branch Expansion
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company received final regulatory approval for a commercial banking charter in the state of Alabama. Hancock Bank of Alabama began operations in February 2007 with one location in an existing loan production office in Mobile, AL. A total of four branch locations will open and operate in either leased or modular facilities while permanent branch facilities are constructed. These facilities will open over the course of the next 90 days. The Company plans to open an additional branch facility in downtown New Orleans, LA (August 2007) and as many as three additional branch facilities in Pensacola, FL (first quarter 2008).
Stock Repurchases
Approximately 228,000 of the Company's shares were repurchased during the first quarter of 2007 under the Stock Repurchase Plan that was approved in 2000. The remaining plan shares available for repurchase at March 31, 2007, were 1.3 million shares. Management intends to continue repurchasing shares as long as market conditions are conducive to that action.
