FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 19, 2001
SIMMONS FIRST ANNOUNCES RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
-----------------------------------------------------
Pine Bluff, Arkansas - Simmons First National Corporation today announced
record earnings of $4,554,000, or $0.64 diluted earnings per share for the first
quarter of 2001. These earnings reflect an increase of $0.05 per share, or 8.5%
increase over the first quarter of 2000 diluted earnings per share of $0.59.
Because of the Corporation's cash acquisitions, cash earnings (net income
excluding amortization of intangibles) are an integral component of earnings.
Diluted cash earnings, on a per share basis, as of March 31, 2001 were $0.71
compared to $0.65 at March 31, 2000. Cash return on average assets was 1.09% and
cash return on average stockholders' equity was 11.85% for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2001, compared with 1.13% and 11.79%, respectively, for
the same period in 2000.
"Despite margin pressures, our Company recorded good earnings during the
1st quarter" said J. Thomas May, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The
increase in earnings was primarily attributable to strong growth in the loan
portfolio".
Total assets for the Corporation at March 31, 2001, were $1.946 billion, an
increase of $188 million, or 10.7%, over the same figure at March 31, 2000.
During the third quarter of 2000, Simmons First completed the acquisition of
eight branches with assets of $72 million. Stockholders' equity at the end of
the first quarter of 2001 was $175.0 million, a $12.2 million, or 7.5%, increase
from March 31, 2000.
Asset quality remains strong with the allowance for loan losses as a
percent of total loans at 1.67% as of March 31, 2001. Non-performing loans
equaled 0.93% of total loans, while the allowance for loan losses equaled 179%
of non-performing loans as of March 31, 2001.
As previously announced, the Company has adopted a stock repurchase
program. This program authorizes the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares. As of
March 31, 2001 the Company has repurchased 275,782 shares of stock with a
weighted average repurchase price of $21.96 per share.
