MEMPHIS, Tenn.--July 14, 1997--First Tennessee National Corporation (First Tennessee) (NASDAQ/NMS:FTEN) reported second quarter earnings per share of $.72, an increase of 14 percent over last year's second quarter earnings per share of $.63.
Net income for the quarter was $46.4 million, up 9 percent from the previous year. For the second quarter of 1997, return on average assets was 1.43 percent and return on average common equity was 21.81 percent, compared with 1.34 percent and 19.48 percent, respectively, for the same period in 1996. Total assets were $13.7 billion and shareholders' equity was $880.9 million at June 30, 1997.
For the first six months of 1997, net income totaled $84.9 million, or $1.32 per share compared with $79.8 million, or $1.19 per share, for the same period in 1996. Return on average assets for the first half of 1997 was 1.33 percent and return on average common equity was 19.95 percent, compared with 1.28 percent and 18.37 percent, respectively, in 1996.
"This quarter was highlighted with a return on common equity in excess of 21 percent and 14 percent earnings per share growth," said Ralph Horn, chairman and chief executive officer of First Tennessee. "Our strategy to grow our fee-based businesses continues to be successful, with all of these businesses showing favorable revenue trends during the quarter, in addition to continued improvement in our net interest margin and net interest income growth in the retail/commercial bank."
Noninterest income
Fee income (noninterest income excluding securities gains and losses) grew 19 percent from the second quarter of 1996 and contributed approximately 56 percent to total revenue. For the first six months of 1997, noninterest income increased 10 percent over the same period in 1996.
Fee income in mortgage banking grew 17 percent from the second quarter of 1996 to $71.1 million. Growth in the servicing portfolio was the primary contributing factor as the servicing portfolio grew from $20.5 billion at June 30, 1996, to $23.9 billion at June 30, 1997. Mortgage loan originations declined 14 percent from $2.8 billion in the second quarter of 1996 to $2.4 billion in the second quarter of 1997. For the first six months of 1997, noninterest income in mortgage banking was $135.3 million, a 14 percent increase over the same period in 1996.
First Tennessee Capital Markets experienced a 17 percent increase in fee income from the second quarter of 1996 to $20.0 million. Fee income for the first six months of 1997 was $40.5 million, an 11 percent decline from the same period in 1996. A record level of fee income was earned during the first quarter of 1996 related to stronger customer demand from the benefit of regulatory reclassifications of securities.
Merchant processing fee income increased 60 percent to $8.2 million, and cardholder fees grew 12 percent from the second quarter of 1996 to $4.9 million. Deposit transactions and cash management noninterest income increased 9 percent from the second quarter of 1996 to $21.6 million, and over this same time period noninterest income from trust and investment management services increased 12 percent to $9.5 million. For the first six months of 1997, fee income in merchant processing was $14.9 million, an increase of 37 percent; cardholder fees were $9.4 million, an increase of 13 percent; fees from deposit transactions and cash management were $40.8 million, an increase of 9 percent; and trust and investment management service fees were $18.8 million, an increase of 12 percent.
Net interest income
Net interest income increased 5 percent from the second quarter of 1996, with a 1 percent increase in average earning assets and a 17 basis point improvement in net interest margin from 4.09 percent to 4.26 percent. The net interest margin in the regional banking group improved from 4.49 percent in the second quarter of 1996 to 4.66 percent in the second quarter of 1997. The expiration of the amortization of a terminated basis swap contributed 9 basis point to the improvement.
For the first six months of 1997, net interest income increased 7 percent over the same period last year, with a year-to-date margin of 4.25 percent.
Noninterest expense
Total noninterest expense (operating expense) increased 11 percent from the second quarter of 1996. Employee compensation, incentives and benefits (personnel expense) increased 4 percent. As a result of a larger servicing portfolio, amortization expense of mortgage servicing rights increased $4.5 million (108 percent) from the second quarter of 1996. Most of the other growth relates to expenses associated with the qualifying capital securities offering, equipment rental and depreciation.
For the first six months of 1997, noninterest expense increased 7 percent over the same period last year and personnel expense decreased 1 percent.
Balance sheet
Total average assets grew 2 percent from the second quarter of 1996, with overall loan growth of 7 percent. Commercial loans grew 9 percent and consumer loans grew 6 percent from the second quarter of 1996. Interest-bearing core deposits increased 5 percent from the previous year and were the primary funding source for this loan growth. The mortgage warehouse declined 32 percent from the second quarter of 1996 due to the lower levels of refinancing in the industry this year versus last year.
Asset quality
The provision for loan losses increased $4.9 million from the second quarter of 1996 but was flat to first quarter 1997 levels. The allowance for loan losses to total loans remained relatively flat from the second quarter of 1996 at 1.54 percent for the second quarter of 1997 compared to 1.56 percent for the second quarter of 1996. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was .66 percent for the second quarter, an increase from the second quarter 1996 level of .32 percent but a decline from the first quarter 1997 level of .74 percent. The increase in nonperforming assets from the second quarter of 1996 came primarily from the increase in the number of mortgage loans repurchased during the first quarter of 1997 to correct loan file documentation in order to certify loan pools.
Mortgage banking nonperforming loans decreased $4.3 million between the first and second quarters of 1997. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans increased from .31 percent in the second quarter of 1996 to .54 percent in the second quarter of 1997, reflecting increases in charge-offs in consumer and credit card lending, and less recoveries in commercial loans. Although the percentage of charge-offs increased in credit card lending, it still remained favorable to industry averages.
