EX-99.1 3 dex991.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 22, 2002 Contact: Daryl G. Byrd, President and CEO (337) 267-4458 Ext. 4708 John R. Davis, Senior Executive Vice President (919) 676-7641 IBERIABANK Corporation Reports Record Annual Earnings LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA -- IBERIABANK Corporation (NASDAQ: IBKC), the holding company of the 114-year-old IBERIABANK (http://www.iberiabank.com), announced record operating earnings for both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2001. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company earned $14.5 million, an 11.8% increase over the same period in 2000. On a per share basis, the Company earned $2.36 per diluted share, up 11.3% from the prior year. For the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company earned $3.8 million, an increase of 8.4% over the same period in 2000. On a per share basis, the Company earned a record $0.63 per diluted share, up 10.2% from the same period last year, exceeding average analyst expectations for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. For eight consecutive quarters, the Company achieved record operating results that met or exceeded average analyst estimates. Daryl Byrd, President and CEO of IBERIABANK Corporation, remarked, "We are delighted to report these outstanding operating results to our shareholders. It is particularly gratifying when considering the challenging economic environment we face. Our ability to perform well during these times is a tribute to our employees, clients, and the communities we are proud to serve." Total assets at December 31, 2001 were $1.43 billion, up 2.2% versus one year ago. Compared to year-end 2000, non-mortgage loans increased nearly $98 million, or 15%. Total deposits grew $94 million, or 8%, over this same period. Since year-end 2000, noninterest-bearing deposits grew $25 million, or 19%. As a result of these growth characteristics and mix changes, the Company's net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2001 improved to 4.33%, up 45 basis points from 3.88% in the same quarter last year, and up 30 basis points compared 4.03% reported for the third quarter of 2001. Tax-equivalent net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2001 improved 13% versus the same quarter last year and up 6% compared to the third quarter of 2001. The Company's provision for loan loss was $2.3 million in the fourth quarter, up $1.3 million from third quarter 2001. Additional reserves and net charge-offs were incurred as the Company's level of nonperforming assets increased by $1.3 million compared to September 30, 2001. The additional provision incurred during the fourth quarter was partially offset by a $251,000 gain recorded on the sale/leaseback of the Company's Gretna office building. All other noninterest income sources increased $649,000, or 18% compared to the third quarter of 2001. The tangible efficiency ratio is a measure of a bank's operating efficiency. The Company's tangible efficiency ratio was 52.6% in the fourth quarter of 2001, an improvement from 55.3% in the third quarter of 2001. This ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was a 6-year low for the Company on a quarterly operating basis, and continued the favorable trend toward the Company's goal of 50%. Return on average assets was 1.03% for the fourth quarter of 2001, an improvement from 1.01% in the third quarter of 2001. Return on average equity for the fourth quarter of 2001 was 11.01% or an improvement of 33 basis points from 10.68% for the third quarter of 2001. On a cash basis, ROA and ROE for the fourth quarter of 2001 were 1.20% and 12.76%, respectively. The company has historically used a very conservative definition of nonperforming assets compared to peer institutions. The Company defines nonperforming assets as non-accruing loans, accruing loans more than 90 days past due, foreclosed assets, and OREO. Nonperforming assets amounted to $13.0 million or 0.91% of total assets as of December 31, 2001, compared to a level of approximately $11.6 million, or 0.79% of total assets, on September 30, 2001. Without consideration of accruing over 90 days, non-performing assets would have been $11.3 million or 0.79% of total assets as of 12/31/01. Non-performing loans as of 12/31/01 totaled $7.0 million or 0.49% of total assets. This compared to non-performing loans totaling $10.7 million or 0.74% of total assets as of 09/30/01. IBERIABANK experienced an increase in non-performing assets throughout 2001 due to a combination of problems with a limited number of commercial loans, a deterioration in the economy as a whole, which increased the level of consumer non-performing assets, and a general seasoning of the entire loan portfolio. The three largest commercial credits included in the non-performing classification represented almost 60% of total non-performing assets. Two of these loans were moved into OREO during the fourth quarter of 2001 as the Bank continued to make progress with respect to their collection. Both are carried at values below recent appraisals. The allowance for loan losses was 1.16% of loans as of December 31, 2001, compared to 1.05% on September 30, 2001 and June 30, 2001. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 160% on December 31, 2001, compared to 94% at September 30, 2001. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was 0.44% in the fourth quarter of 2001 compared to 0.41% in the third quarter of 2001. During 2001, the Bank became more conservative in its recognition of charge-offs by changing the consumer charge- off policy to more quickly and consistently recognize problem loans and their related charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses covered 2001 net charge-offs by 270%. Book value, or shareholders' equity, per share at December 31, 2001, was $23.03 and tangible book value per share was $16.92. These figures were up 10% and 16%, respectively, from one-year prior. The Company's Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 6.95% at December 31, 2001, up from 6.67% one year ago. On December 18, 2001, the Company announced the completion of the share repurchase program that commenced approximately one year earlier. In addition, the Company announced a new share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to 300,000 shares of IBERIABANK Corporation common stock. To date, the Company has not purchased any shares under this latest program. The Company's closing stock price on December 31, 2001 was $27.72, up 27.4% versus year-end 2000. The Company reaffirms previously stated guidance for anticipated annual earnings for the year of 2002. The Company remains comfortable with earnings in the range of $2.60 to $2.70 per fully diluted share for the full year 2002, excluding any favorable adjustments to earnings as a result of the adoption of FAS 142 beginning January 1, 2002. Based on this range, the Company expects EPS growth of 10.0% to 14.4% for the year 2002 compared to the prior year. IBERIABANK operates 23 offices located in south central Louisiana, 11 offices located in northeast Louisiana, and 8 offices located in the greater New Orleans area.
