Trustmark Announces 2006 Financial Results

Jackson, Miss. - January 16, 2007 - Trustmark Corporation (NASDAQ:TRMK) announced net income of $29.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, which represented basic earnings per share of $0.50. Trustmark’s fourth quarter net income produced a return on average tangible shareholders’ equity of 21.22% and a return on average assets of 1.32%. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Trustmark’s net income totaled $119.3 million, which represented basic earnings per share of $2.11. Trustmark’s performance in 2006 resulted in a return on average tangible shareholders’ equity of 20.78% and a return on average assets of 1.42%. Highlights include:
 
 
Average total loans in the fourth quarter of 2006 increased $638.6 million, or 10.6%, compared to figures one year earlier
 l  
Average total deposits in the fourth quarter of 2006 increased $1.1 billion, or 18.2%, compared to figures one year earlier
l  
Seven new banking centers opened during the year with plans to open an additional 8 to 12 banking centers in higher growth markets within the next 24 months

Richard G. Hickson, Chairman and CEO, stated, “Trustmark continued to advance its strategic initiatives during 2006 as evidenced by our successful merger with and integration of Houston’s Republic Bancshares of Texas, as well as the opening of seven new banking centers within the higher growth markets of our four-state franchise. Building new customer relationships and strengthening relationships with existing customers have allowed Trustmark to post solid gains across its financial services businesses. Average total loans during the fourth quarter of 2006 increased $638.6 million, or 10.6%, relative to the comparable period one year earlier. Our loan portfolio continues to be well diversified geographically, as well as by loan type.
 
“Solid credit quality continues to be a hallmark of the organization. Nonperforming assets were $38.9 million at December 31, 2006 and the allowance coverage for nonperforming loans was 198%. Net charge-offs represented 0.06% of average loans during 2006.
 
“Trustmark’s losses related to Hurricane Katrina have not been as great as originally anticipated. We have updated our estimates for probable losses resulting from Hurricane Katrina and reduced the allowance for loan losses and mortgage related charges, which increased net income during the fourth quarter of 2006 by $1.1 million, or $0.019 per share. At December 31, 2006, Trustmark maintained specific Hurricane Katrina allocations in its allowance for loan losses of $2.0 million,” said Hickson.
 
“We are pleased with the growth and composition of our deposit base. When compared to figures one year earlier, average deposits in the fourth quarter of 2006 increased $1.1 billion, or 18.2%. This growth was broad-based with increases noted across Trustmark’s franchise. Average noninterest-bearing deposits during the fourth quarter of 2006 increased $111.4 million, or 7.9%, while interest-bearing deposits rose $967.5 million, or 21.5%, when compared to figures one year earlier. During the fourth quarter of 2006, average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 21.8% of Trustmark’s total deposit base,” said Hickson.
 
“In addition to the growth of our general banking franchise, we have noted significant accomplishments in our other financial services businesses. During 2006, insurance agency revenue increased to $33.9 million while revenue from our wealth management businesses increased to $27.2 million. Collectively, revenue from our insurance agencies and wealth management businesses totaled $61.1 million and represented approximately 13.8% of Trustmark’s total revenue in 2006,” said Hickson.

 
“Revenue generation and expense management remain key areas of focus at Trustmark. We continued to make investments to support additional revenue growth and profitability as well as to reallocate resources to areas with additional growth potential. Our initiative to build banking centers in high-growth markets within our franchise continues to gain momentum. During the year, we opened a total of seven banking centers in the Houston, Jackson, Memphis and Mississippi Gulf Coast markets. We also closed five offices where growth opportunities were limited, reallocating resources to new offices. We also anticipate opening 8 to 12 additional banking centers within the next 24 months. These actions reflect our commitment to build long-term value for our shareholders,” said Hickson.
 
“During the year, we undertook a number of initiatives designed to improve the risk profile of the Corporation. As the relatively flat yield curve diminished the profitability of holding longer-term investment securities, we continued to reduce our investment securities portfolio as well as balances of higher-cost funding sources. At December 31, 2006, our investment securities portfolio comprised 12.3% of total assets and had an average duration of approximately 2 years. As a consequence of reducing our investment portfolio and maintaining a historically short duration, our spread has been constrained as investment yields remain low. As such, we have foregone current earnings in an effort to enhance the interest rate risk profile of the organization. The decline in the investment securities portfolio, coupled with significant loan growth, has resulted in a richer mix of earning assets and a stable net interest margin of 3.84% in 2006.
 
“We also enhanced the mix of the Corporation’s capital with the issuance of trust preferred securities and subordinated debt during 2006. The addition of these securities has provided Trustmark with a cost effective manner in which to manage capital and enhance financial flexibility,” said Hickson.

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Central and Eastern Mississippi causing significant damages. Immediately following the storm, Trustmark initiated a process to assess the storm’s impact on its customers and on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies," Trustmark determined, through reasonable estimates, that specific losses were probable and initially increased its allowance for loan losses by $9.8 million and established other accruals for losses totaling $2.1 million, on a pre-tax basis.

Trustmark continually reevaluates its estimates for probable losses resulting from Hurricane Katrina. As a result, during 2006, Trustmark has released allowance for loan losses of $7.8 million and other accruals of $1.5 million on a pre-tax basis. At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses included specific Katrina accruals totaling $2.0 million, comprised of $1.3 million for mortgage loans and $0.7 million for consumer loans. Management’s estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as the information changes, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Business Combinations

On August 25, 2006, Trustmark completed its merger with Houston-based Republic Bancshares of Texas, Inc. (Republic) in a business combination accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Trustmark purchased all the outstanding common and preferred shares of Republic for approximately $205.3 million. The purchase price includes approximately 3.3 million in common shares of Trustmark valued at $103.8 million, $100.0 million in cash and $1.5 million in acquisition-related costs. The purchase price allocations are preliminary and are subject to final determination and valuation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. At August 25, 2006, Republic had assets consisting of $21.1 million in cash and due from banks, $64.5 million in federal funds sold, $76.5 million in securities, $458.0 million in loans, $9.0 million in premises and equipment and $18.4 million in other assets as well as deposits of $593.3 million and borrowings and other liabilities of $13.3 million. These assets and liabilities have been recorded at fair value based on market conditions and risk characteristics at the acquisition date. Excess costs over tangible net assets acquired totaled $173.0 million, of which $19.3 million has been allocated to core deposits, $690 thousand to borrower relationships and $153.0 million to goodwill.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management, based on estimated probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. Trustmark’s allowance for loan loss methodology is based on guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, “Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues,” as well as other regulatory guidance. Accordingly, Trustmark’s methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of loan and internal risk ratings, homogeneous risk pools, and specific loss allocations, with adjustments considering current economic events and conditions. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans and net charge-offs or recoveries and other factors. Trustmark implemented specific changes to its allowance for loan loss methodology as a result of the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses published by the governmental regulating agencies for financial services companies on December 13, 2006.

On March 17, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) released SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing Financial Assets, an amendment of SFAS No. 140.” This statement amends SFAS No. 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practical. The effective date of this statement is as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, however early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any fiscal year, provided the entity has not issued financial statements for the interim period. The initial recognition and measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities are required to be applied prospectively to transactions occurring after the effective date.

Trustmark elected to early adopt SFAS No. 156 in the first quarter of 2006 and has recorded its Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) and derivative financial instruments utilized to mitigate risk inherent in the MSR at fair value. This election, effective January 1, 2006, increased MSR by $1.4 million while also increasing retained earnings by $0.8 million, net of taxes.

In the first quarter of 2006, Trustmark began utilizing derivative instruments to offset changes in the fair value of MSR attributable to changes in interest rates. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of MSR, as shown in the table below. MSR fair values represent the effect of present value decay and the effect of changes in interest rates. Ineffectiveness of hedging MSR fair value is measured by comparing total hedge cost to the fair value of the MSR asset attributable to interest rate changes.

Prior to January 1, 2006, Trustmark purchased servicing rights were capitalized at cost. For loans originated and sold where the servicing rights had been retained, Trustmark allocated the cost of the loan and servicing right based on their relative fair values. MSR were amortized over the estimated period of the related net servicing income. MSR were evaluated quarterly for impairment and recorded as a valuation allowance. Impairment occurred when the estimated fair value of the MSR fell below its carrying value.

Note 6 - Issuance of Trust Preferred Securities and Subordinated Debt Securities
 
On December 13, 2006, Trustmark National Bank (TNB) issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2016. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.673% per annum from December 13, 2006 until the principal of the Notes has been paid in full. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2007, and on the Date of Maturity. The Notes are unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of payment to TNB’s obligations to its depositors, its obligations under bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit, its obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or the FDIC and its obligations to its other creditors, and to any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to TNB. The Notes, which are not redeemable prior to maturity, qualify as Tier 2 capital for both TNB and Trustmark. Proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used for general corporate purposes.

On August 18, 2006, Trustmark completed a private placement of $60.0 million of trust preferred securities through a newly formed Delaware trust affiliate, Trustmark Preferred Capital Trust I (the Trust). The trust preferred securities mature September 30, 2036, are redeemable at Trustmark’s option beginning after five years, and bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.72%. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, these trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital.

The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase $61.856 million in aggregate principal amount of Trustmark’s junior subordinated debentures. The net proceeds to Trustmark from the sale of the notes to the Trust were used to assist in financing its merger with Republic Bancshares of Texas, Inc.

The debentures were issued pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated August 18, 2006 between Trustmark, as issuer, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. Like the trust preferred securities, the debentures bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.72% and mature on September 30, 2036. The debentures may be redeemed at Trustmark’s option at anytime on or after September 30, 2011 or at anytime upon certain events, such as a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the debentures, the Trust being deemed an investment company or the occurrence of certain adverse tax events.
 
 

 
In addition, pursuant to the acquisition of Republic Bancshares of Texas, Inc. on August 25, 2006, Trustmark assumed the liability for $8.248 million in junior subordinated debt securities issued to Republic Bancshares Capital Trust I (Republic Trust), also a Delaware trust. Republic Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of $8.0 million in trust preferred securities to acquire the junior subordinated debt securities. Both the trust preferred securities and the junior subordinated debt securities mature on January 7, 2033, and are callable at the option of Trustmark, in whole or in part, on January 7, 2008. Both the trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debt securities bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.35%.
 
Note 7 - Recent Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This statement requires the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of an employer’s defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in other comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. At December 31, 2006, Trustmark adopted this statement and has recognized an additional liability of $4.5 million on its balance sheet representing the difference in its plan’s assets and benefit obligation with a charge to other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $10.8 million.

Also in September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB No. 108), which addresses the diversity in practice in quantifying financial misstatements and provides interpretative guidance regarding the consideration given to prior year misstatements when determining materiality in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 permits adjustments for the cumulative effect of misstatements related to prior years, previously deemed to be immaterial, in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the current fiscal year, with an offsetting adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the year of adoption. In the fourth quarter of 2006, Trustmark adopted the provisions of SAB No. 108 and recorded an $8.4 million cumulative reduction to its 2006 beginning balance of retained earnings related to adjustments made to the carrying values of core deposit intangibles and other liabilities.

Note 8 - Basis of Presentation

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with current period presentation and the adoption of SAB No. 108 discussed in Note 7 above.
