EX-99.1 2 a5376327ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Greene County Bancshares Reports Record Quarterly Earnings, up 10%, and Continued Strong Loan Growth GREENEVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 12, 2007--Greene County Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: GCBS) today announced higher earnings and solid operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Net income increased to $5,616,000 or $0.57 per diluted share, up 10% from $5,096,000 or $0.52 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2006. Balance sheet highlights included strong organic growth in the Company's loan portfolio, continued improvement in credit quality, and higher deposits. Return on Average Assets (ROA) was 1.26% in the first quarter of 2007 compared with 1.20% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 1.27% in the year-earlier quarter. Return on Average Equity (ROE) increased to 11.93% in the first quarter of 2007, up from 11.16% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 11.86% in the year-earlier period. Return on Average Tangible Equity (ROTE) (average shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets) was 14.99% in the first quarter of 2007 versus 14.10% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 15.41% last year. Commenting on the Company's announcement, Stan Puckett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased to report a solid start in 2007, maintaining the momentum we achieved last year. Key drivers for our financial success in the first quarter included continued improvement in our credit quality, outstanding loan growth, and higher non-interest income. Strategically, we announced and implemented the rebranding of all of our banking operations under the GreenBank name - a change that has been well accepted by our customers, and we are enthusiastic about the value this action will bring to our company in the months and years ahead. On the other hand, we had hoped to achieve greater efficiencies in our operations during the quarter and make better headway in improving our efficiency ratio, which remains a priority for us. Recently, we took further steps to reduce non-interest expense going forward, and we hope to see tangible results from these efforts later in the year." Net interest income for the first quarter increased by almost 10% to $18,821,000 from $17,186,000 in the year-earlier period, driven by a 13% increase in average loans outstanding between the periods. On a linked-quarter basis, the Company's net interest margin improved four basis points to 4.70% in the first quarter of 2007, while, on a year-over-year basis, net interest margin declined 10 basis points from 4.80% in the first quarter of 2006, reflecting a changing and challenging interest rate environment. The Company's provision for loan losses was $974,000 in the first quarter of 2007, down from $1,064,000 in the first quarter of last year as a result of ongoing improvements in asset quality. Non-interest income increased 14% in the first quarter to $5,399,000 from $4,755,000 in the same quarter last year. This advance reflected the ongoing positive impact of the Company's High Performance Checking Account product - a key strategic initiative. First quarter "net" new checking accounts opened totaled 4,025 compared with 2,996 during the same quarter last year, an increase of over 34%. Non-interest expenses totaled $14,042,000 in the first quarter, up $1,336,000 or 11% over $12,706,000 in the same period a year ago. The Company's efficiency ratio improved 75 basis points to 57.98% in the first quarter from 58.73% in the fourth quarter of 2006, and was 43 basis points higher versus 57.55% in the first quarter of 2006 due to continued expansion initiatives throughout 2006. Puckett concluded, "Outside the financial and operational success we registered in the first quarter, the most important event for the Company was the announcement of the proposed acquisition of Civitas BankGroup, through which we will acquire Civitas and its 12 Middle Tennessee branches. We expect that this merger, which should be completed later in the second quarter, will add significant momentum to our expansion efforts in the Nashville Metropolitan Statistical Area and position us for further growth in this fast-growing market." At March 31, 2007, the Company's total assets increased 14% to $1,827,634,000 from $1,608,240,000 at March 31, 2006, and up 3% from $1,772,654,000 at December 31, 2006. Net loans increased 14% to $1,603,281,000 at March 31, 2007, from $1,404,627,000 at March 31, 2006, and up 4% from $1,539,629,000 at December 31, 2006. Deposits rose 8% to $1,390,442,000 at March 31, 2007, from $1,285,738,000 at March 31, 2006, and up 4% from $1,332,505,000 at December 31, 2006. Total shareholders' equity increased 10% to $189,997,000 at March 31, 2007, versus $172,317,000 at March 31, 2006, and up 3% from $184,471,000 at December 31, 2006.
