"As we look at our financial results for 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic certainly created a challenging year for our industry as a whole," remarked Dan Rollins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "I am extremely proud of our team's ability to navigate this difficult environment while continuing to improve our core operating results.  While protecting the health of our teammates and customers was our first priority, we achieved some unprecedented milestones in several areas of our Company.    Our mortgage team generated record production of $3.2 billion, which exceeds our previous annual production record of $2.0 billion by 60 percent.  As we have previously reported, our bankers and support staff produced over 15,000 PPP loans totaling over $1.2 billion in a very short period of time.  We are currently actively working with our customers on the second phase of funding under the PPP.  I am also pleased with our lenders and credit administrators' ability to work with our customers on deferrals and modifications while actively managing our credit risk.     While we recorded a provision of credit losses of $86 million for the year, our credit quality indicators continue to remain stable.  Net charge-offs, excluding acquired loans, totaled 0.04 percent of net loans and leases for the year. Finally, we reported record pre-tax pre-provision net revenue of $397.5 million, or 1.75 percent of average assets. This represents an increase from $329.2 million, or 1.73 percent of average assets for 2019." 

"As we look specifically at our fourth quarter performance, we had another great quarter of deposit and customer repo growth, which totaled $459.7 million, or 9.1 percent on an annualized basis.  We were also pleased to be able to continue to work our total cost of deposits down meaningfully and hold our net interest margin in a relatively tight range.  Our mortgage team had another outstanding quarter generating production volume of $845.9 million and total production and servicing revenue of $19.9 million.  While we had several items that created some noise in our results, we are pleased to report operating earnings per share – excluding MSR – of $0.69 per diluted share in a quarter that has historically faced seasonal headwinds in both our mortgage and insurance business.  The largest of these items was a $5.8 million pension accounting charge resulting from elevated retirements and lump sum pension payouts in the fourth quarter.   While this charge adversely impacted earnings, the decline of employee FTE of approximately 100 over the course of 2020 reflects our continued focus on improving our operating efficiency.  Finally, we are excited about the growth opportunities that we have recently announced with National United in Gatesville, Texas and FNB Bank in Scottsboro, Alabama, which will collectively add approximately $1.5 billion in assets to our Company.  We are hopeful that we can receive the required approvals in order to close these transactions during the second quarter of this year."

The $975.4 million in PPP loans on the balance sheet had an adverse impact of approximately four basis points on the yield on net loans and leases, excluding accretable yield, for the fourth quarter of 2020.  Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 included approximately $2.5 million of accelerated PPP fee income recognition resulting from the payoff of loans that were forgiven by the SBA during the quarter.  The average cost of deposits was 0.38 percent for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with 0.68 percent for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 0.44 percent for the third quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet Activity

Loans and leases, net of unearned income, decreased $305.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily as a result of the SBA forgiveness of $262.5 million of PPP loans during the quarter.  Deposits and customer repos increased $459.7 million, or 9.1 percent on an annualized basis, during the fourth quarter of 2020.  There were no acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 2020. 

Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses

Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2020 reflect a provision for credit losses of $5.0 million, compared with no provision for the fourth quarter of 2019 and a provision of $15.0 million for the third quarter of 2020.  Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $11.2 million, or 0.29 percent of net loans and leases on an annualized basis, compared with net recoveries of $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and net charge-offs of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2020.  Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2020 consisted primarily of the charge down of loans that were previously identified as impaired in prior quarters. The allowance for credit losses was $244.4 million, or 1.63 percent of net loans and leases, at December 31, 2020, compared with $119.1 million, or 0.85 percent of net loans and leases, at December 31, 2019, and $250.6 million, or 1.64 percent of net loans and leases, at September 30, 2020.   The allowance for credit losses coverage, excluding the impact of PPP loans, was 1.74 percent at December 31, 2020.   

The Company adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020.  The increase in the allowance for credit losses resulting from this implementation was $62.6 million.  Of this increase, $22.6 million was a result of the reclassification of non-accretable difference on previously purchased credit impaired loans that are now considered purchased credit deteriorated loans, while $40.0 million was the result primarily of the requirement of estimating credits losses over the life of the loan portfolio.  The adoption of this standard impacted the comparability of credit quality and coverage metrics to all periods preceding January 1, 2020.

Total non-performing assets were $132.6 million, or 0.55 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2020, compared with $118.3 million, or 0.56 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2019, and $157.3 million, or 0.67 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2020.  Other real estate owned was $11.4 million at December 31, 2020, compared with $6.7 million at December 31, 2019 and $6.4 million at September 30, 2020.

These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation, potential delays or other problems in implementing and executing our growth, expansion and acquisition strategies, including delays in obtaining regulatory or other necessary approvals or the failure to realize any anticipated benefits or synergies from any acquisitions or growth strategies; the risks of changes in interest rates and their effects on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest sensitive assets and liabilities; the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible credit losses, fair value for loans and other real estate owned; changes in real estate values; the availability of and access to capital; possible downgrades in our credit ratings or outlook which could increase the costs or availability of funding from capital markets; the ability to attract new or retain existing deposits or to retain or grow loans; the ability to grow additional interest and fee income or to control noninterest expense; the potential impact of the proposed phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or other changes involving LIBOR; competitive factors and pricing pressures, including their effect on our net interest margin; general economic, unemployment, credit market and real estate market conditions, and the effect of such conditions on the creditworthiness of borrowers, collateral values, the value of investment securities and asset recovery values; changes in legal, financial and/or regulatory requirements; recently enacted and potential legislation and regulatory actions and the costs and expenses to comply with new and/or existing legislation and regulatory actions, including those actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (the "Economic Aid Act") and any related rules and regulations; changes in U.S. Government monetary and fiscal policy, including any changes that result from the recent U.S. elections; FDIC special assessments or changes to regular assessments; possible adverse rulings, judgments, settlements and other outcomes of pending, ongoing and future litigation and governmental, administrative and investigatory matters (including litigation or actions arising from our participation in and administration of programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic (including, among other things, the PPP loan programs authorized by the CARES Act and the Economic Aid Act); the ability to keep pace with technological changes, including changes regarding maintaining cybersecurity; the impact of failure in, or breach of, our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties with whom we do business, including as a result of cyber-attacks or an increase in the incidence or severity of fraud, illegal payments, security breaches or other illegal acts impacting us or our customers; natural disasters or acts of war or terrorism; the adverse effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, including the magnitude and duration of the pandemic, and the impact of actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19 on us, our employees, our customers, the global economy and the financial markets; international or political instability; impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets; losses of key employees and personnel; adoption of new accounting standards, including the effects from the adoption of the current expected credit loss methodology on January 1, 2020, or changes in existing standards; and other factors as detailed from time to time in our press and news releases, periodic and current reports and other filings we file with the FDIC.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with those factors that are set forth from time to time in our periodic and current reports filed with the FDIC, including those factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors," in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures and Other Non-GAAP Ratio Definitions

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

































Management evaluates the Company's capital position and operating performance by utilizing certain financial measures not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), including net operating income, net operating income available to common shareholders, net operating income-excluding MSR, net operating income available to common shareholders-excluding MSR, pre-tax pre-provision net revenue, total operating expense, tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets, tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets-excluding PPP loans, tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets, tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets-excluding PPP loans, return on tangible equity, return on tangible common equity, operating return on tangible equity-excluding MSR, operating return on tangible common equity-excluding MSR,  operating return on average assets-excluding MSR, operating return on average shareholders' equity-excluding MSR, operating return on average common shareholders' equity-excluding MSR, pre-tax pre-provision net revenue to total average assets, tangible book value per common share, operating earnings per common share, operating earnings per common share-excluding MSR, efficiency ratio (tax equivalent) and operating efficiency ratio-excluding MSR (tax equivalent).  The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures in this news release for the applicable periods presented.  Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures (i) provides important supplemental information that contributes to a proper understanding of the Company's capital position and operating performance, (ii) enables a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business and (iii) allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance in a manner similar to management, the financial services industry, bank stock analysts and bank regulators.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.  These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures, and the Company strongly encourages investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this news release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure.  In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

The efficiency ratio (tax equivalent) is calculated by dividing total noninterest expense by total revenue, which includes net interest income plus noninterest income plus the tax equivalent adjustment.  The operating efficiency ratio-excluding MSR (tax equivalent) excludes expense  items otherwise disclosed as non-operating from total noninterest expense.  In addition, the MSR valuation adjustment as well as securities gains and losses are excluded from total revenue.
