GULFPORT, Miss., Oct. 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hancock Holding Company HBHC today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2012. Operating income for the third quarter of 2012 was $49.8 million or $.58 per diluted common share, compared to $47.0 million, or $.55 in the second quarter of 2012. Operating income was $45.2 million, or $.53, in the third quarter of 2011. Operating income is defined as net income excluding tax-effected merger-related costs and securities transactions gains or losses. In addition, for the third quarter of 2012, operating income excludes the tax-effected expenses associated with the repurchase of a portion of Whitney Bank's subordinated debt (sub debt). Included in the financial tables is a reconciliation of net income to operating income.

During the second quarter of 2012 the Company initiated a tender offer for up to $75 million of Whitney Bank's sub debt. A total of $150 million of sub debt was issued by Whitney National Bank in March 2007 at a rate of 5.875%. In July 2012, the tender was consummated, and approximately $52 million of the Whitney sub debt was repurchased. In addition to paying the indebtedness represented by the notes and accrued interest, the Company incurred approximately $5.3 million in costs, including a premium of $5.1 million.

Hancock's return on average assets, on an operating basis, was 1.07% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 1.00% in the second quarter of 2012, and 0.92% in the third quarter a year ago.

Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $47.0 million, or $.55 per diluted common share, compared to $39.3 million, or $.46 in the second quarter of 2012. Net income was $30.4 million, or $.36, in the third quarter of 2011. Pre-tax earnings for the third quarter of 2012 included no merger-related costs. The second quarter of 2012 and third quarter of 2011 included pre-tax merger-related costs of $11.9 million and $22.8 million, respectively.

The Company's pre-tax, pre-provision profit for the third quarter of 2012 was $78.5 million compared to $75.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $73.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. Pre-tax pre-provision profit is total revenue (TE) less non-interest expense and excludes merger-related costs, securities transactions gains or losses and the sub debt redemption expenses. Included in the financial tables is a reconciliation of net income to pre-tax, pre-provision profit.

"During the third quarter we continued to make progress on several fronts and generated solid quarterly results," said Hancock's President and Chief Executive Officer Carl J. Chaney. "We produced net loan growth of over $350 million, realized additional quarterly cost savings, expanded the net interest margin and improved our operating ROA this quarter, and remain committed to improving upon these overall results and growing our company."

Highlights & Key Operating Items from Hancock's Third Quarter Results

Total assets at September 30, 2012, were $18.5 billion, compared to $18.8 billion at June 30, 2012.

Loans

Total loans at September 30, 2012 were $11.4 billion, up $356 million, or 3%, from June 30, 2012. Excluding the FDIC-covered portfolio acquired with People's First, which declined $32 million during the third quarter, total loans were up $388 million, or approximately 4%, linked-quarter.

The net growth noted above represents a slowdown in the pace of loan payoffs, and more significantly, the impact of both strategic new hires and the completion of the Company's systems integration process. New loans and refinancings of over $700 million were funded in markets throughout the company's footprint from both existing and new customers, exceeding regularly scheduled payoffs and paydowns. 

The net loan growth was mainly generated in the commercial and industrial (C&I) portfolio, up 9% linked-quarter. The growth reflected activity in Houston, Greater New Orleans, western Louisiana and several Florida markets, with a sizeable portion of the new business generated from customers in the energy sector. As of September 30, 2012 the Company's energy portfolio totaled $758 million, up $125 million from June 30, 2012.

Hancock's loan pipeline remains strong, but the market for new loans remains highly competitive. Although management expects continued net loan growth in future quarters, the rate of growth may be below the pace in the current quarter.

For the third quarter of 2012, average total loans were $11.3 billion, an increase of $119 million, compared to the second quarter of 2012. 

Deposits

Total deposits at September 30, 2012 were $14.8 billion, down $158 million, or 1%, from June 30, 2012. Average deposits for the third quarter of 2012 were $14.8 billion, down $308 million, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2012. 

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits (DDAs) totaled $5.2 billion at September 30, 2012, up $111 million, or 2%, compared to June 30, 2012. DDAs comprised 35% of total period-end deposits at September 30, 2012, up slightly from June 30, 2012. 

Time deposits (CDs) totaled $2.4 billion at September 30, 2012, down $110 million from June 30, 2012. During the third quarter, approximately $600 million of time deposits matured at an average rate of .54%, of which approximately two-thirds renewed at an average cost of 0.21%. 

Interest-bearing public fund deposits were down $158 million linked-quarter reflecting the seasonal nature of these types of deposits. Typically these deposits reflect higher balances around the beginning of the year with subsequent reductions beginning in the summer months.

Asset Quality

The Company's total allowance for loan losses was $135.6 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $140.8 million at June 30, 2012.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to period-end loans was 1.19% at September 30, 2012, down from 1.27% at June 30, 2012. Charge-offs against the portion of allowance established for previously-identified impairment of certain pools of FDIC-covered loans reduced the total allowance by $3.5 million. The Company identified no additional impairment on these covered loan pools in the quarterly review as of September 30, 2012 and, as a result, recorded no provision for loan losses on the covered portfolio for the third quarter of 2012.

Hancock recorded a total provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2012 of $8.1 million, virtually unchanged from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. The provision for non-covered loans increased to $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 from $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. As noted above, no provision was recorded in the third quarter of 2012 for the FDIC-covered portfolio.  The net impact on provision expense from the covered portfolio in the second quarter of 2012 was $1.0 million. 

Net charge-offs from the non-covered loan portfolio in the third quarter of 2012 were $9.7 million, or .34% of average total loans on an annualized basis. This compares to net non-covered loan charge-offs of $10.2 million, or .37% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2012. 

The allowance calculated on the portion of the loan portfolio that excludes covered loans and loans acquired at fair value in the Whitney merger totaled $79.7 million, or 1.21% of this portfolio at September 30, 2012 and $81.4 million, or 1.40% at June 30, 2012. This ratio is expected to decline as the proportion of this portfolio representing new business from Whitney's operations grows, other factors held constant.

Non-performing assets (NPAs), which exclude acquired credit-impaired loans from Whitney and People's First, totaled $298 million at September 30, 2012, up $27 million from $271 million at June 30, 2012. Non-performing assets as a percent of total loans, ORE and foreclosed assets was 2.58% at September 30, 2012, compared to 2.42% at June 30, 2012. The increase in overall NPAs reflects an increase in nonaccrual loans of $22 million, an increase of $13 million in restructured loans, and a decline of $8 million in ORE and foreclosed assets. The increase in nonaccrual loans is mainly related to a small portion of Whitney's acquired portfolio that was performing at acquisition date and has subsequently moved to nonaccrual. The loans are comprised of smaller dollar residential mortgage and commercial credits, mainly located in Louisiana.

Management continues to work towards reducing the overall level of nonperforming assets and currently has approximately $60 million of its total ORE portfolio under sales contracts that are scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2012. 

Additional asset quality metrics for the acquired (Whitney), covered (Peoples First) and originated (Hancock legacy plus Whitney non-acquired loans) portfolios are included in the financial tables.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income (TE) for the third quarter of 2012 was $180.1 million, virtually unchanged from the second quarter of 2012. Average earning assets were $15.8 billion in the third quarter of 2012, down $336 million from the second quarter of 2012.

The net interest margin (TE) was 4.54% for the third quarter of 2012, up 6 basis points (bps) from 4.48% in the second quarter of 2012. The core margin (net interest margin excluding total net purchase accounting adjustments) compressed approximately 5bps during the third quarter from a decline in both the yield on the loan and the securities portfolios. The core margin was favorably impacted by a change in the mix of earning assets, a shift in funding sources and a slight decline in funding costs. The decline in funding costs is mainly related to the redemption of the Whitney Bank sub debt.

Whitney's acquired loan portfolio continued to perform better than expected during the third quarter. As a result, re-projections of expected cash flows from the acquired portfolio led to higher yields realized on this portfolio that favorably impacted both net interest income and the net interest margin and offset the core margin compression.

As earning assets continue to reprice, and with a diminished opportunity to significantly lower funding costs, management expects continued compression on the core margin in the near term. All else equal, compression in the reported margin in the near term is also anticipated.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $63.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, up slightly from $63.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. Included in the third quarter was $.9 million from gains on securities transactions. Excluding securities transactions, non-interest income declined slightly from second quarter of 2012.

Service charges on deposits totaled $20.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, virtually unchanged from the second quarter of 2012. 

Bankcard fees totaled $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, down $.5 million from the second quarter. As noted previously, the Durbin interchange restrictions began impacting Hancock Bank on July 1, 2012 and resulted in a loss of bankcard fees of approximately $2.0 million during the third quarter of 2012. This loss of income was partly offset by a $1.4 million increase in merchant fees during the third quarter. The increase in merchant fees is related to the reacquisition of the Company's merchant business and change in the terms of the servicing agreement. The reacquisition also added approximately $.5 million to amortization of intangibles in the third quarter. The Durbin interchange restrictions negatively impacted the third quarter's ATMs fees by approximately $.5 million.

Fees from secondary mortgage operations totaled $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, up $1.3 million linked-quarter. The increase reflects a higher volume of mortgage production during the third quarter mainly related to refinancing activity.

Fees related to trust, insurance, and investment and annuity lines of business were all down linked-quarter, mainly reflecting the volatility and seasonality of those businesses.

Non-interest Expense & Taxes

Operating expense for the third quarter of 2012 totaled $164.4 million, down $3.6 million from the second quarter of 2012. Operating expense excludes merger-related costs and for the third quarter of 2012, $5.3 million of sub debt repurchase expenses. There were essentially no merger-related costs in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $11.9 million of pre-tax merger costs in the second quarter of 2012. 

Total personnel expense was $88.2 million in the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $1.2 million from the second quarter of 2012. The linked-quarter decrease mainly reflects the staff reductions associated with the core systems conversion and branch consolidations. Linked-quarter declines related to the systems conversion and branch consolidations are also reflected in occupancy, equipment and various categories included in other noninterest expense.

Amortization of intangibles totaled $8.1 million during the third quarter, up from $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase is related to the reacquisition of the merchant services business noted above. Amortization of intangibles should approximate $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Operating expense, excluding amortization of intangibles, was $156.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. Management expects additional cost savings will continue to be generated in the fourth quarter of 2012, and is reiterating its operating expense guidance for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $149 million to $153 million, excluding amortization of intangibles. 

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company announced the closing of several branches as part of its ongoing branch rationalization process. The Company is continuing its review of its current branch network and will announce additional closures, relocations or new branch openings as decisions are approved.

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 was 26%, essentially unchanged from the second quarter of 2012. The effective income tax rate continues to be less than the statutory rate of 35%, due primarily to tax-exempt income and tax credits. 

Capital

Common shareholders' equity totaled $2.4 billion at September 30, 2012. The Company remained well-capitalized and improved its tangible common equity ratio to 9.09% at September 30, 2012, up from 8.72% at June 30, 2012. Additional capital ratios are included in the financial tables.

(j) Covered and acquired credit impaired loans are considered performing due to the application of the accretion method under acquisition accounting. Acquired loans are recorded at fair value with no allowance brought forward in accordance with acquisition accounting. Certain acquired loans and foreclosed assets are also covered under FDIC loss sharing agreements, which provide considerable protection against credit risk. Due to the protection of loss sharing agreements and impact of acquisition accounting, management has excluded acquired loans and covered assets from this table to provide for improved comparability to prior periods and better perspective into asset quality trends.
