First National Bankshares of Florida Reports $0.23 Per Share for
Second Quarter of 2004; Beats Analysts' Estimate NAPLES, Fla., July
14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First National Bankshares of Florida,
Inc. (NYSE:FLB) today reported second quarter 2004 net income of
$11.3 million, or $0.23 per share, compared with $10.6 million, or
$0.22 per share, in the second quarter of 2003. These results
exceeded the analysts' consensus estimate of $0.22 per share and
were adjusted for the 3% stock dividend payable on July 15, 2004 to
shareholders of record on June 30, 2004. (Logo:

very proud to deliver another solid quarter," said Gary L. Tice,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of First National Bankshares.
"During the period, we continued to experience significant gains on
the revenue side, while maintaining expenses. We also enjoyed
further improvement in our already excellent credit quality." For
the first six months of 2004, net income totaled $21.6 million, or
$0.44 per share. This compares with $19.3 million, or $0.40 per
share, for the same period a year ago. During the six months ended
June 30, 2003, the company incurred after-tax expenses of $0.01 per
share related to the acquisition of Southern Exchange Bank in
Tampa, Florida. First National Bankshares' second quarter 2004
results reflect a return on average assets of 1.13% and a return on
average shareholders' equity of 12.3%. Due to the significant
levels of capital required to be assigned to intangibles for
regulatory capital purposes, management also evaluates performance
ratios on a cash basis, or excluding the impact of intangibles and
any related intangible amortization. On a cash basis, the return on
average assets was 1.20% and the return on average shareholders'
equity was 24.9% for the second quarter of 2004. Intangibles as of
June 30, 2004 totaled $184.0 million. Pre-tax intangible
amortization recognized during the second quarter of 2004 totaled
$345,000. The company's second quarter 2004 operating revenue,
consisting of net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis and
non-interest income, totaled $51.7 million, representing an
increase of 3.6% from the $49.9 million reported during the second
quarter of 2003. Credit quality at First National Bankshares
remained excellent during the quarter. As of June 30, 2004, the
allowance for loan losses totaled $29.7 million, or 1.11% of total
loans and 686% of non-performing loans. This compares with 1.14%
and 684%, respectively, as of March 31, 2004, and 1.12% and 564%,
respectively, as of June 30, 2003. Annualized net loan charge-offs
for the quarter represented 0.05% of average loans as of June 30,
2004, compared with 0.06% as of March 31, 2004, and 0.12% as of
June 30, 2003. Non-performing assets represented 0.12% of total
assets as of June 30, 2004, compared with 0.12% as of March 31,
2004, and 0.17% as of June 30, 2003. Net interest income on a
tax-equivalent basis was $34.0 million for the second quarter of
2004, up 4.9% from $32.4 million a year ago. The net interest
margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, was 3.88%, compared
with 4.00% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, and 4.10% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003. The margin was impacted during the
quarter by a strategic focus on originating variable and adjustable
rate loans and extending maturities on time deposits as well as
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Non-interest income totaled $17.8
million for the second quarter of 2004, up 1.3% from $17.5 million
during the same period a year ago. Revenue from insurance and
wealth management, which is included in non-interest income,
totaled $11.0 million during the second quarter of 2004, up 31.4%
from $8.3 million during the second quarter of 2003. This increase
of $2.7 million was partially offset by a $2.0 million decline in
gains from the sale of mortgage loans. In the second quarter of
2004, non-interest income represented 34.3% of operating revenue.
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2004 was $33.3
million, up $1.8 million or 5.8% from $31.5 million during the
second quarter of 2003. Approximately $1.4 million of this total
increase is attributable to the acquisition of the Lupfer-Frakes
Insurance agency, which closed on July 1, 2003. The efficiency
ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 64.5%, versus
65.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Total earning
assets increased 13.3% to $3.6 billion as of June 30, 2004,
compared with $3.2 billion as of June 30, 2003. Total loans
increased 16.6% to $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2004, compared with
$2.3 billion as of June 30, 2003. On a linked quarter basis,
average loans increased by a compound annual growth rate of
approximately 20%. At June 30, 2004, investment securities totaled
$880 million and represented 24.6% of earning assets, compared with
26.1% at June 30, 2003. Total deposits increased 8.6% to $3.0
billion as of June 30, 2004, compared with $2.7 billion as of June
30, 2003. On a linked quarter basis, average deposits grew by a
compound annual growth rate of 21.6%. In addition to releasing its
second quarter 2004 results, First National Bankshares of Florida
is providing earnings guidance in a range of $0.22 to $0.24 per
share for the third quarter of 2004 and in a range of $0.88 to
$0.92 per share for the full year of 2004. Both amounts have been
adjusted to reflect the 3% stock dividend payable on July 15, 2004.
The guidance for the full year also reflects the $0.02 per share
dilution of the planned acquisition of Southern Community Bancorp
as previously discussed by the company. First National Bankshares
announced its plans to acquire Southern Community Bancorp, the
holding company for three state-chartered commercial banks, on
March 22, 2004. Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, Southern
Community has more than $1 billion in total assets and 18
full-service banking offices located throughout South and Central
Florida. The transaction, subject to normal regulatory and
shareholder approvals, is expected to close in September 2004. Once
the merger is completed, all Southern Community offices will become
branches of First National Bank. In connection with this
acquisition, First National Bankshares issued $25 million of trust
preferred securities during the first quarter of 2004. The proceeds
from this issuance are being used to fund the purchase of
approximately 1.1 million shares of First National Bankshares
common stock in 2004. From April 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004, the
company repurchased 588,900 of its shares. On June 30, 2004, First
National Bankshares announced the planned acquisition of First
Bradenton Bank. Established in 1997, First Bradenton is a
state-chartered commercial bank with $60.5 million in assets, $55.5
million in deposits and one banking location in Bradenton, Florida.
Upon completion of the merger, First National Bank will have more
than $5.2 billion in total assets, $3.9 billion in total deposits
and 76 full-service financial centers in South and Central Florida,
including the acquisition of Southern Community. "This acquisition
combined with the Southern Community merger fits perfectly with our
strategic plan, which calls for significant growth in highly
attractive Florida markets," Tice said. "Both First Bradenton and
Southern Community will enable us to grow our Florida franchise and
provide us with tremendous opportunities to expand not only our
banking services but also our full line of wealth management and
insurance products. We are delighted to welcome these two fine
organizations into the First National family." First National
Bankshares also continues to expand through de novo branching in
key markets. As previously announced, the company initiated
construction on two full-service financial centers in Naples and
Fort Myers, Florida. The bank also plans to open a full-service
financial center in the Old Naples market. These new facilities
will add to First National Bank's presence in these growing
Southwest Florida markets. The offices are expected to open within
a year and will offer a full line of financial products and
services. First National Bankshares management will host a
conference call on Thursday, July 15, 2004, at 11 a.m. (Eastern
Time) to discuss the second quarter 2004 results and to further
discuss its strategic plan for expansion in the Florida market.
