NASDAQ Global Select Market Symbol - 'SBSI' TYLER, Texas, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southside Bancshares, Inc. ("Southside" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008. Southside reported record net income of $10.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $5.5 million, or 114.5%, when compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2007. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2008, increased $14.0 million, or 84.0%, to $30.7 million from $16.7 million, for the same period in 2007. Earnings per diluted share increased $0.39, or 114.7%, to $0.73 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $0.34 for the same period in 2007. Earnings per diluted share increased $0.98, or 83.1%, to $2.16 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1.18 for the same period in 2007. The return on average shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2008, increased to 21.44%, compared to 14.05%, for the same period in 2007. The return on average assets increased to 1.29%, for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 0.87%, for the same period in 2007. "We are exceptionally pleased to report record earnings in a financial environment that few will ever forget," stated B. G. Hartley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our earnings are the product of the execution of our long-term business plan. Many institutions found 2008 to be a year to question long-held beliefs and methodologies. The events of 2008 strengthened our confidence in our traditional banking model and balance sheet strategies. Rather than be victimized by the tremendous volatility and credit events, we found ourselves in a position to build long-term franchise value." "We made the decision to grow assets during 2008, taking advantage of the increasingly attractive economics of financial intermediation. Asset growth consisted primarily of U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, Texas Permanent School Fund guaranteed municipal securities and loan growth, funded by deposit growth and FHLB advances. Our ability to add assets is a result of our balance sheet discipline executed over a long-term horizon. Should the economics of asset accumulation decrease, we might allow the balance sheet to shrink through run-off or asset sales. However, should the economics become more attractive, we will strategically increase the balance sheet." "As 2008 started, there was pronounced weakness in the housing and credit markets. Events unfolded in the last half of the year that forever changed the financial landscape. As the economic fallout spread, many landmark firms ceased to exist in their original form. Some sectors of the economy, even those that most individuals took for granted, literally appeared to stop functioning." "In the third quarter earnings release, we remarked that 'we are well aware of the current precarious economic environment and are managing the bank to an increasing standard of protection.' In the fourth quarter, the housing led financial crisis morphed into a full blown economic crisis. Consumer spending slowed dramatically; retailers and automobile manufacturers began experiencing crippling results and unemployment levels intensified. While it appears the economy may be in for a bumpy recovery, we continue to prepare for several possibilities. As the economic crisis unfolded and oil prices plummeted during the fourth quarter, our market areas began to further reflect the economic slowdown. The year 2008 closed on a worse macroeconomic note for the nation than any in recent memory. We are fortunate to have marked this turbulent year by organically building our capital, strategically growing our balance sheet, as well as producing record net income." Loan and Deposit Growth For the three months ended December 31, 2008, total loans increased by $35.2 million, or 3.6%, when compared to September 30, 2008. Management believes that the loan portfolio remains well diversified. During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, construction loans, municipal loans, and loans to individuals increased. When comparing the year ended December 31, 2008 to the comparable period in 2007, total loans grew by $61.3 million, or 6.4%. We are pleased that our loan growth appears well diversified. All loan categories, with the exception of commercial real estate, increased when comparing the year ended December 31, 2008 to the same period in 2007. During the fourth quarter, as our markets began to experience the economic slowdown, our nonperforming assets increased $7.2 million to $15.8 million, or 0.58% of total assets, due to an increase in nonaccrual loans. In response, we increased our allowance for loan losses during the fourth quarter $3.2 million, to $16.1 million at December 31, 2008. When comparing September 30, 2008 to December 31, 2008, nonaccrual construction loans increased from $2.0 million to $5.7 million and nonaccrual Southside Financial Group ("SFG") loans increased from $1.4 million to $5.4 million. Deposits increased $76.9 million, or 5.2%, to $1.56 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2008, when compared to September 30, 2008. When comparing the year ended December 31, 2008 to the comparable period in 2007, deposits increased $25.6 million, or 1.7%. Total deposits, net of brokered deposits, increased $118.6 million, or 8.5% for the year ended December 31, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007. Net Interest Income Net interest income increased $9.2 million, or 67.7%, to $22.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, when compared to $13.6 million for the same period in 2007. This is due to an increase in the average yield on our interest earning assets combined with a decrease in the average yield on the average interest bearing liabilities resulting in an increase in our net interest spread and margin. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, our net interest spread increased to 3.49% from 2.16% and our net interest margin increased to 3.96% from 2.94% when compared to the same period in 2007. The net interest margin and net interest spread for the three months ended December 31, 2008, increased to 3.96% and 3.49%, respectively, from 3.68% and 3.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in the yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, is reflective of an increase in average SFG high yield automobile loans, a 41 basis point increase in the yield on our securities portfolio and an increase in average interest earning assets of $490.5 million, or 25.2%. The decrease in the average yield on interest bearing liabilities is a result of an overall decrease in interest rates and calling $125.4 million of higher yielding brokered deposits during 2008. Net Income for the Three Months The increase in net income for the three months ended December 31, 2008, was primarily a result of the increase in net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in provision for loan loss and noninterest expense. Noninterest income, excluding gain on sale of available for sale securities, increased $55,000, or 0.8%, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008, bank owned life insurance, which is part of noninterest income, increased $527,000 primarily as a result of a death benefit received on a covered officer. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, we primarily sold a portion of our long duration municipal securities. As a result, we realized a $5.8 million gain on the sale of available for sale securities during the fourth quarter of 2008. It is uncertain if economic conditions or ALCO and investment portfolio objectives that would precipitate sales of available for sale securities will exist in future quarters. Therefore, the Company cannot predict if it will have net gains on sales of available for sale securities in future quarters. Provision for loan losses increased $3.9 million, or 282.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to changing market conditions and increases in nonperforming loans. Noninterest expense increased $2.8 million, or 21.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily a result of the increase in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, professional fees and FDIC expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $2.0 million, or 25.8%, compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in salary and benefits is related to an increase in the number of employees, an increase in retirement expenses and normal annual salary increases. About Southside Bancshares, Inc.
