Central Standard Time on July 19, 2001. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 19, 2001 SIMMONS FIRST ANNOUNCES JUNE 2001 EARNINGS ------------------------------------------ Pine Bluff, Arkansas - Simmons First National Corporation today announced net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 of $9,041,000, or diluted earnings per share of $1.27. The diluted earnings per share reflect an increase of 4.1%, or $0.05 per share over the June 30, 2000 diluted earnings per share of $1.22. Return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, was 0.95% and 10.36%, respectively. Net income for the second quarter of 2001 was $4,487,000, compared to $4,609,000 for the same period of the previous year. The diluted earnings per share of $0.63 are unchanged when compared to the same period of the previous year. Despite good growth in the loan portfolio and solid increases in non-interest income, the flat second quarter diluted earnings per share was primarily attributable to continued pressure on net interest margin. "During the last six months, the Federal Reserve decreased the discount rate by 275 basis points. This had a negative impact on our net interest margin, due to Arkansas's usury law and its direct effect on the yield of our credit card portfolio. We anticipate our margin to improve when interest rates stabilize and/or when the usury cap is lifted, which is expected before year end," said J. Thomas May, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "The core banking components of our Company performed well during the first half of this year, especially in light of pressure on net interest margin experienced in our Company. Loans and deposits continue to grow, while capital remains strong." Because of the Corporation's cash acquisitions, cash operating earnings (net income excluding amortization of intangibles) are an integral component of earnings. Year-to-date diluted cash earnings, on a per share basis, as of June 30, 2001 were $1.41 an increase of 6.0%, or $0.08 per share over the same period last year. Cash return on average assets was 1.07% and cash return on average stockholders' equity was 11.58% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. Diluted cash earnings for the second quarter of 2001 were $0.70 per share compared with $0.68 for the second quarter of 2000. Total assets for the Corporation at June 30, 2001, were $1.979 billion, an increase of $209 million, or 11.8%, over the same figure at June 30, 2000. This increase includes the acquisition of eight branches with assets of $72 million, which was completed during the third quarter of 2000. Excluding the acquisition, both loans and deposits increased approximately 5% over the same period last year. Stockholders' equity at the end of the second quarter of 2001 was $178.6 million, a $12.7 million, or 7.6%, increase from June 30, 2000. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans equaled 1.63%, which is unchanged from December 31, 2000. As of June 30, 2001, non-performing loans equaled 1.17% of total loans and the allowance for loan losses equaled 140% of non-performing loans. As previously announced, the Company has adopted a stock repurchase program. This program authorizes the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares. During the previous twelve months, the Company repurchased 277,782 shares of stock with a weighted average repurchase price of $21.97 per share.
