Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Renasant Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”) offers a diversified range of financial and insurance services to its retail and commercial customers through its subsidiaries and full service offices located throughout north and north central Mississippi, west and middle Tennessee, north and north central Alabama and northwest Georgia.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred after September 30, 2010 through the date of issuance of its financial statements for consideration of recognition or disclosure.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”) that requires new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. As to new disclosure requirements, a reporting entity must disclose separately the amount of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, describe the reasons for the transfers, and present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs. As to clarifications of existing disclosures, a reporting entity should provide fair value measurements for each class within each category of assets and liabilities, and provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, which are effective beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. See Note I, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosures regarding the Company’s adoption of this update. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact on its financial statements of adopting the portion of this update regarding disclosures presenting separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

 

Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

In July 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” that requires enhanced and additional disclosures that will provide financial statement users with greater transparency about a reporting entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financial receivables. A reporting entity must provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in its portfolio of financing receivables, explaining how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and detailing the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. To achieve those objectives, a reporting entity should provide disclosures on a disaggregated basis: by portfolio segment and/or by class of financing receivable. This update to ASC Topic 310 amends existing disclosures to require a reporting entity to provide a rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses on a portfolio segment basis, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of the impairment method. A reporting entity must also present nonaccrual, past due 90 days or more and still accruing and impaired financing receivables by class. Additional disclosures include credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period presented by class, the aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period presented by class, the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period presented by class and their effect on the allowance for credit losses, the nature and extent of financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous twelve months that defaulted during the reporting period presented by class and their effect on the allowance for credit losses, and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables during the reporting period presented by portfolio segment. This update to ASC Topic 310 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its financial statements.

Note B – FDIC-Assisted Acquisition of Certain Assets and Liabilities of Crescent Bank & Trust

On July 23, 2010, Renasant Bank (“the Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired specified assets and assumed specified liabilities of Crescent Bank & Trust Company, a Georgia-chartered bank headquartered in Jasper, Georgia (“Crescent Bank”), from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), as receiver for Crescent Bank (the “Acquisition”). Crescent operated 11 branches in the northwest region of Georgia, all of which were retained by the Bank.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Bank entered into loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC that covered $528,051 of Crescent Bank loans and $79,359 of other real estate owned (the “covered assets”). The Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools (including single family residential mortgage loans and commercial loans) covered under the loss-sharing agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the loss-sharing agreements, the FDIC is obligated to reimburse the Bank for 80% of all eligible losses with respect to covered assets, beginning with the first dollar of loss incurred. The Bank has a corresponding obligation to reimburse the FDIC for 80% of eligible recoveries with respect to covered assets. The fair value of the loss-sharing agreements was recorded as an indemnification asset at their estimated fair value of $153,244 as of the date of the Acquisition. The indemnification asset reflects the present value of the expected net cash reimbursement related to the loss-sharing agreements described above.

The Acquisition resulted in a pre-tax gain of $42,211. Due to the difference in tax bases of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $16,146, resulting in an after-tax gain of $26,065. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the gain will be recognized over the next six years. The foregoing pre-tax and after-tax gains are considered bargain purchase gain under FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), since the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred. The Company recognized this gain as non-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 include the operating results of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition subsequent to the July 23, 2010 closing date. Due to the significant fair value adjustments recorded, as well as the nature of the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC, the Company does not believe that Crescent’s historical results are relevant to the Company’s results. Therefore, no pro forma information is included.

The Company evaluates its investment portfolio for other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. Impairment is assessed at the individual security level. The Company considers an investment security impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its cost or amortized cost basis.

When impairment of an equity security is considered to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value and an impairment loss is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. When impairment of a debt security is considered to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value. The amount of OTTI recorded as a loss within noninterest income depends on whether an entity intends to sell the debt security or whether it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If an entity intends to, or has decided to, sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, OTTI must be recognized in earnings in an amount equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If an entity does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, OTTI is separated into the amount representing credit loss and the amount related to all other market factors. The amount related to credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount related to other market factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

Note C – Securities (continued)

 

The Company holds investments in pooled trust preferred securities and in securities issued by a single issuer. The investments in pooled trust preferred securities had a cost basis of $29,184 and $30,803 and a fair value of $6,625 and $11,301 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The investment in pooled trust preferred securities consists of four securities representing interests in various tranches of trusts collateralized by debt issued by over 321 financial institutions. Management’s determination of the fair value of each of its holdings in pooled trust preferred securities is based on the current credit ratings, the known deferrals and defaults by the underlying issuing financial institutions and the degree to which future deferrals and defaults would be required to occur before the cash flow for the Company’s tranches is negatively impacted. In addition, management continually monitors key credit quality and capital ratios of the issuing institutions. This determination is further supported by quarterly valuations of each security obtained by the Company performed by third parties. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of its amortized cost, which may be maturity. At September 30, 2010, management did not, and does not currently, believe such securities will be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment, but the Company did conclude that it was probable that there had been an adverse change in estimated cash flows for two of the four pooled trust preferred securities. Accordingly, the Company recognized credit related impairment losses on these securities of $3,075 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The following table provides information regarding the Company’s investments in pooled trust preferred securities as of September 30, 2010:

Note D – Loans

(In Thousands)

As described in Note B above, in connection with the acquisition of Crescent, the Bank entered into loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC that covered $528,051 of Crescent loans. In these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company refers to loans subject to the loss-sharing agreements as “covered loans” and loans that are not subject to the loss-sharing agreements as “loans not covered by loss-sharing agreements.”

A summary of those loans not covered by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC is set forth below:

Loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of purchase dates may include information such as past-due and nonaccrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan to value percentages. Acquired credit-impaired loans are accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality, found in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-30, “Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loans. Accordingly, allowances for credit losses related to these loans are not carried over and recorded at the acquisition dates. Loans acquired through business combinations that do not meet the specific criteria of ASC Topic 310-30, but for which a discount is attributable, at least in part to credit quality, are also accounted for under this guidance. As a result, related discounts are recognized subsequently through accretion based on the expected cash flow of the acquired loans.

Note G – Shareholders’ Equity

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.17 per share for each of the third quarter of 2010 and 2009. Total cash dividends paid to shareholders by the Company were $11,447 and $10,772 for the nine month periods ended September 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In January 2010, the Company granted 138,500 stock options which generally vest and become exercisable in equal installments of 33 1/3% upon completion of one, two and three years of service measured from the grant date. The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company employed the following assumptions with respect to its stock option grants in 2010 and 2009 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

   $ 3.01      $ 3.09   

In addition, the Company awarded 23,500 shares of performance-based restricted stock in January 2010. The performance-based restricted stock is earned, in part, if the Company meets or exceeds financial performance results defined by the board of directors for the year. The fair value of the restricted stock grant on the date of the grant was $14.22 per share. The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $373 and $516 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reissued 33,549 shares from treasury in connection with the exercise of stock-based compensation.

Note H – Segment Reporting

(In Thousands)

The Company’s internal reporting process is organized into four segments that account for the Company’s principal activities: the delivery of financial services through its community banks in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama and the delivery of insurance services through its insurance agency. In order to give the Company’s regional management a more precise indication of the income and expenses they can control, the results of operations for the geographic regions of the community banks and for the insurance company reflect the direct revenues and expenses of each respective segment. The Company believes this management approach will enable its regional management to focus on serving customers through loan originations and deposit gathering. Indirect revenues and expenses, including but not limited to income from the Company’s investment portfolio, as well as certain costs associated with other data processing and back office functions, are not allocated to the Company’s segments. Rather, these revenues and expenses are shown in the “Other” column along with the operations of the holding company and eliminations which are necessary for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts. The Company is currently evaluating how the ongoing operations of the Crescent acquisition will impact future strategic decisions and how these operations will affect its reportable segments.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of its financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing balances with banks. The carrying amount reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Securities: For both securities available for sale and securities held to maturity, fair values for debt securities are based on quoted market prices, where available, or a discounted cash flow model. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The fair value of equity securities not traded in an active market approximates their historical cost.

Mortgage loans held for sale: The carrying value of mortgage loans held for sale approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the asset.

Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fixed-rate loan fair values, including mortgages, commercial, agricultural and consumer loans, are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of loans covered under loss-share agreements is based on the net present value of future cash proceeds expected to be received using discount rates that are derived from current market rates and reflect the level of interest risk in the covered loans.

FDIC loss-share indemnification receivable: The fair value of the FDIC loss-share indemnification receivable is based on the net present value of future cash flows expected to be received from the FDIC under the provisions of the loss-share agreements using a discount rate that is based on current market rates. Current market rates are used in light of the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss-sharing reimbursement from the FDIC.

Derivative instruments: Derivative instruments include interest rate swaps and mortgage loan commitments. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is based on the projected future cash flows. The fair value of the mortgage loan commitments is based on readily available fair values, obtained in the open market from mortgage investors.

Note I – Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

 

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing, are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow based on currently effective interest rates for similar types of accounts.

Short-term borrowings: Short-term borrowings consist of treasury, tax and loan notes and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The fair value of these short-term borrowings approximates the carrying value of the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for each respective account.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances: The fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank advances was determined by discounting the cash flow using the current market rate.

Junior subordinated debentures: The fair value for the Company’s junior subordinated debentures was determined by discounting the cash flow using the current market rate.

TLGP Senior Note: The fair value for the Company’s senior note guaranteed by the FDIC under its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) was determined by discounting the cash flow using the current market rate.

ASC 820 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to a valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), moderate priority to a valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and/or based on assumptions that are observable in the market (Level 2), and the lowest priority to a valuation based on assumptions that are not observable in the market (Level 3).

Financial Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis:

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale consist primarily of debt securities such as obligations of U.S. Government agencies and corporations, mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities. The fair values of these instruments are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments or a discounted cash flow model. Securities available for sale also include equity securities that are not traded in an active market. The fair value of these securities approximates their historical cost.

Derivative instruments: Interest rate swaps are extensively traded in over-the-counter markets at prices based upon projections of future cash payments/receipts discounted at market rates. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is determined based upon discounted cash flows. The fair value of the mortgage loan commitments is based on readily available fair values, obtained in the open market from mortgage investors. These fair values reflect the values of mortgage loans having similar terms and characteristics to the mortgage loan commitments entered into by the Company.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically are a result of the application of the lower of cost or market accounting or a write-down occurring during the period. The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis:

Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. If fair value is used, it is determined using current secondary market prices for loans with similar characteristics. Mortgage loans held for sale were carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Impaired loans: Loans considered impaired are reserved for at the time the loan is identified as impaired taking into account the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including but not limited to equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The fair value of the business assets is generally based on amounts reported on the business’s financial statements. Appraised and reported values may be adjusted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management’s knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Since not all valuation inputs are observable, these nonrecurring fair value determinations are classified as Level 3. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors previously identified.

Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is comprised of commercial and residential real estate obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations. OREO acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at the fair value of the real estate less costs to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for declines in fair value. Fair value, when recorded, is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers and adjusted for management’s estimates of costs to sell. As such, values for OREO are classified as Level 3. OREO covered under loss-share agreements were recorded at their fair value upon the acquisition date of July 23, 2010, and no fair value adjustments were necessary through September 30, 2010.

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 that were still held in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at those respective dates:

 

     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Totals

     —           —           2,462         2,462   

Impaired loans with a carrying value of $90,735 and $78,584 had an allocated allowance for loan losses of $15,603 and $13,468 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The allocated allowance is based on the carrying value of the impaired loan and the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell.

OREO with a carrying amount of $18,373 was written down to $15,092, resulting in a loss of $3,281, which was included in the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. OREO with a carrying amount of $3,023 was written down to $2,462, resulting in a loss of $561, which was included in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Note J – Derivative Instruments

(In Thousands)

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments as part of its ongoing efforts to manage its interest rate risk exposure. These derivative financial instruments currently include interest rate swaps and mortgage loan commitments. Derivative financial instruments are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets heading “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” at fair value.

Cash flow hedges are utilized to mitigate the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows or other types of forecasted transactions. For the Company’s derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are, to the extent that the hedging relationship is effective, recorded as other comprehensive income and are subsequently recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The assessment of the effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the hypothetical derivative method.

In May 2010, the Company terminated two interest rate swaps, each designated as a cash flow hedge, designed to convert the variable interest rate on an aggregate of $75,000 of loans to a fixed rate. As of the termination date, there were $1,679 of deferred gains related to the swaps, which are being amortized into net interest income over the designated hedging periods ending in August 2012 and August 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, deferred gains related to the swaps of $209 were amortized into net interest income.

In connection with the Crescent acquisition, the Bank acquired interest rate swaps whereby it receives a fixed rate of interest and pays a variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 334 basis points. The swaps have embedded derivatives in each of the loan agreements that would require the borrower to pay or receive from the Bank an amount equal to and offsetting the value of the interest rate swaps. If a counterparty, in particular our borrower, fails to perform and the market value of the financial derivative is negative, the Company would be obligated to pay the settlement amount for the financial derivative. If the market value is positive, the Company would receive a payment for the settlement amount for the financial derivative. These swaps had a notional amount of $7,793 and $7,910 and a fair value of $(1,113) and $(1,073) at September 30, 2010 and July 23, 2010, respectively. The net effect of recording the derivatives at fair value through earnings was immaterial to the Company’s results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2010.

The Company enters into mortgage loan commitments with its customers to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the commitments to fund fixed-rate mortgage loans. Under such commitments, interest rates for a mortgage loan may be locked in for up to thirty days with the customer. Once a mortgage loan commitment is entered into with a customer, the Company enters into a sales agreement with an investor in the secondary market to sell such loan on a “best efforts” basis. Under this sales agreement, the Company is obligated to sell the mortgage loan to the investor only if the loan is closed and funded. Thus, the Company will not incur any liability to an investor if the mortgage loan commitment in the pipeline fails to close. These mortgage loan commitments are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in the valuation of the commitments reflected under the caption “Gains on sales of mortgage loans held for sale” on the Consolidated Statements of Income and do not qualify for hedge accounting. At September 30, 2010, the notional amount of commitments to fund fixed-rate mortgage loans was $40,453 with a fair value of $380.

Overview

The Company, a Mississippi corporation, offers a diversified range of financial and insurance services to its retail and commercial customers through its subsidiaries and full service offices located throughout north and north central Mississippi, west and middle Tennessee, north and north central Alabama and northwest Georgia.

On July 23, 2010, Renasant Bank (“the Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired specified assets and assumed specified liabilities of Crescent Bank & Trust Company, a Georgia-chartered bank headquartered in Jasper, Georgia (“Crescent”), from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), as receiver for Crescent. Crescent operated, and the Company acquired and retained, 11 branches in the northwest region of Georgia. Of these 11 branches, Crescent owned the building and real property at nine branches and leased the remainder. Excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, the Bank acquired $959,307 in total assets, including loans of $538,743, and assumed $917,096 in total liabilities, including $890,103 in deposits. Approximately $528,081 of acquired loans and $79,359 of other real estate owned (“OREO”) are covered by loss-sharing agreements (“covered assets”) between the FDIC and the Bank. For more information regarding this transaction, please refer to Note B, “FDIC-Assisted Acquisition of Certain Assets and Liabilities of Crescent Bank & Trust,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” as well as our discussion of the anticipated effects of the Crescent acquisition on the Company’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows, and liquidity and capital resources, contained in the Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 8, 2010.

Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets were $4,256,253 on September 30, 2010 as compared to $3,641,081 on December 31, 2009. The acquisition of Crescent contributed total assets of $778,822 at September 30, 2010.

Table of Contents

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $147,853 from $148,560 at December 31, 2009 to $296,413 at September 30, 2010 as a result of the cash received in connection with the Crescent acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents represented 6.96% of total assets at September 30, 2010 compared to 4.08% of total assets at December 31, 2009.

Investments

The securities portfolio is used to provide a source for meeting liquidity needs and to supply securities to be used in collateralizing certain deposits and other types of borrowings. The balance of our securities portfolio increased to $745,486 at September 30, 2010 from $714,164 at December 31, 2009. The Bank acquired investment securities with an estimated fair value of $21,044 in the Crescent acquisition. The acquired securities were predominantly U.S. Government sponsored enterprise debt securities and U.S. Government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the Company also acquired $3,162 in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock. During the first nine months of 2010, the Company purchased $354,955 of investment securities. Maturities and calls of securities during the first nine months of 2010 totaled $212,102. The carrying value of securities available for sale sold during the first nine months of 2010 totaled $125,969.

Loans

The balance of loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2010 was $2,583,610, representing an increase of $235,995 from $2,347,615 at December 31, 2009. The acquisition of Crescent contributed total loans with a fair value of $362,901 at September 30, 2010. Loans in the Company’s legacy markets (that is, the Company’s markets other than its northwest Georgia markets) were $2,220,709 at September 30, 2010. During the first nine months of 2010, the Company continued to focus on the reduction of its exposure to construction and land development loans. The balance of the Company’s construction and land development portfolio in its legacy markets was $284,578, or 12.81%, at September 30, 2010, compared to $414,820, or 17.67% of total loans in its legacy markets, at December 31, 2009. A majority of the reduction in these loans is attributable to these loans being converted to permanent financing after completion of the construction phase of the loan. The overall balance of land development loans increased during this period due to land development loans acquired in the Crescent acquisition. Management plans to continue this intentional reduction of this portfolio in all of its markets in subsequent quarters, but nevertheless, expects total loans to remain flat to declining in the immediate quarters, as new loan production is offset by reductions attributable to principal paydowns and payoffs.

The table below sets forth loans outstanding, according to loan type, net of unearned income.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At September 30, 2010, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not disclosed as a category of loans separate from the categories listed above.

Mortgage loans held for sale were $25,639 at September 30, 2010 compared to $25,749 at December 31, 2009. Originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $366,241 for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to $673,896 for the same period in 2009. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company experienced increased production in residential mortgage loans being refinanced due to a decline in mortgage interest rates. Mortgage loans to be sold are locked in at a contractual rate with third party private investors, and the Company is obligated to sell the mortgages to such investors only if the mortgages are closed and funded. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. These loans are typically sold within thirty days after the loan is funded. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Intangible assets increased $1,034 to $192,391 at September 30, 2010 from $191,357 at December 31, 2009. The increase reflects $2,489 of core deposits intangible recorded in connection with the assumption of the deposits in the Crescent acquisition offset by the amortization of previously recorded core deposit intangibles associated with prior acquisitions. The core deposits intangible recorded in connection with the Crescent acquisition is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of ten years. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets totaled $1,451 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $839,828 to $3,415,928 at September 30, 2010 from $2,576,100 on December 31, 2009. The following table provides details related to the Company’s deposits and the impact from the Crescent acquisition:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which are two of the largest components contributing to our net income. The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the mix and the repricing of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Net interest income increased 7.65% to $27,117 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $25,191 for the same period in 2009. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest margin for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 was 3.12% compared to 3.22% for the same period in 2009.

Significant reductions in interest rate indices throughout 2008 had a negative impact on net interest margin in 2009 and continue to affect net interest margin in 2010. With each rate reduction in rate indices, specifically, the prime rate, rates paid on U.S. Treasury securities and the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”), the yield on our variable rate loans indexed to these indices decreased. Additionally, cash flows generated from deposit growth, loan paydowns and security maturities, calls and sales have been redeployed in a lower interest rate environment resulting in lower yields on earning assets and placing negative pressure on the Company’s net interest margin. The rate reductions and the easing of competitive and market-wide liquidity factors has also affected the cost of funding sources, particularly deposits, which has allowed the Company to use funding sources in the third quarter of 2010 with lower costs than the sources available in 2009. The acquisition of Crescent further reduced net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2010 by 21 basis points due to the excess cash provided from the Crescent acquisition.

Interest income increased 1.92% to $43,433 for the third quarter of 2010 from $42,614 for the same period in 2009. The increase in interest income was primarily due to increases in the average balances on earning assets offset by a decline in the yield on these earning assets and changes in the mix of interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $338,506 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The acquisition of Crescent contributed average assets of $471,707 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The tax equivalent yield on earning assets decreased 39 basis points to 4.92% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 5.33% for the same period in 2009. The tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio was 4.46% for the third quarter of 2010, down 58 basis points from 5.04% in the corresponding period in 2009. The acquisition of Crescent reduced the tax equivalent yield on earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2010 by 11 basis points.

The following table presents the percentage of total average earning assets, by type and yield, as of September 30 for each of the years presented:

 

     Percentage of Total     Yield  
     2010     2009     2010     2009  

Loans

     70.43     75.59     5.66     5.62

Total earning assets

     100.00     100.00     4.92     5.33
                                

Interest expense decreased 6.35% to $16,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $17,423 for the same period in 2009. This decrease primarily resulted from reductions in the cost of the Company’s legacy deposits and a change in the mix of such deposits, with higher costing public fund and time deposits replaced with lower costing core deposits. These reductions were offset by a $551,095 increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities as a result of the Crescent acquisition. The balances of public fund deposits decreased $84,624 during the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $54,534 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $13,953 for the same period in 2009. The gain on the acquisition of Crescent totaling $42,211 is the primary factor in the increase in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Service charges on deposits were $5,771 and $5,379 for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Overdraft fees, the largest component of service charges on deposits, were $5,196 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $4,833 for the same period in 2009. The acquisition of Crescent increased service charges on deposits and overdraft fees $229 and $187, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010. Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, the Company was required by law to ask customers to affirmatively consent, or “opt in” to the Company’s overdraft service for ATM and one-time debit card transactions before overdraft fees may be assessed by the Company. Management believes these restrictions could have an adverse impact on noninterest income, but it is unable at this time to predict the extent of such impact.

Fees and commissions, which include fees charged for both deposit services (other than service charges on deposits) and loan services, were $3,654 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $3,961 for the same period in 2009. Fees charged for loan services were $1,587 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $1,907 for the same period in 2009, which is reflective of increased production in residential mortgage loans being refinanced due to a decline in mortgage interest rates during the third quarter of 2009 that was not present during the third quarter of 2010. Interchange fees on debit card transactions continue to be a good source of noninterest income. For the third quarter of 2010, fees associated with debit card usage were $1,244 compared to $1,379 for the same period in 2009. The Company also provides specialized products and services to our customers through our Financial Services division. Specialized products include fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds, and stocks offered through a third party provider. Revenues generated from the sale of all of these products, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the account line “Fees and commissions,” were $334 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $289 for the same period of 2009.

The trust department operates on a custodial basis which includes administration of benefit plans, as well as accounting and money management for trust accounts. The trust department manages a number of trust accounts inclusive of personal and corporate benefit accounts, self-directed IRA’s, and custodial accounts. Fees for managing these accounts are based on changes in market values of the assets under management in the account, with the amount of the fee depending on the type of account. Trust revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $562 as compared to $501 for the same period in 2009. The market value of assets under management was $445,447 and $463,926 as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Gains on sales of securities available for sale for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $1,906, resulting from the sale of approximately $36,274 in securities. These gains were offset by other-than-temporary-impairment losses totaling $2,915 recognized on two investments held in the Company’s pooled trust preferred securities portfolio. The Company did not sell any securities during the third quarter of 2009.

Gains from sales of mortgage loans held for sale were $1,774 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,832 for the same period in 2009.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $39,571 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $26,118 for the same period in 2009. The acquisition of Crescent increased noninterest expense $5,091 for the third quarter of 2010, which includes noninterest expenses from the operations of Crescent totaling $3,136 and merger related expenses totaling $2,214.

Salaries and employee benefits for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 were $16,694 compared to $13,363 for the same period last year. Salaries and benefits attributable to the Crescent acquisition totaled $1,647.

Data processing costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 were $1,703, an increase of $264 compared to $1,439 for the same period last year. Net occupancy expense and equipment expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 increased $226 to $3,271 over the comparable period for the prior year. The increase in data processing and net occupancy and equipment expense is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Crescent. In addition, the Company opened a new full service branch in the Mountain Brook area of Birmingham, Alabama in July 2010.

Amortization of intangible assets was $505 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $489 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which, at the time of origination, ranged between five and ten years. These finite-lived intangible assets have remaining estimated useful lives ranging from one to ten years.

Advertising and public relations expense was $1,159 for the three months ending September 30, 2010, an increase of 37.65% compared to $842 for the same period in 2009.

Communication expense is incurred for communication to clients and between employees. Communication expense was $1,218 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,057 for the same period in 2009.

The Company incurred prepayment penalties of $2,785 as a result of the early paydown of $148,000 of FHLB advances during the third quarter of 2010.

Other noninterest expense was $11,323 and $4,815 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Merger expenses related to the acquisition of Crescent recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,214. Expenses on other real estate owned totaled $4,635 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $1,054 for the same period in 2009. Expenses on other real estate owned for the third quarter of 2010 included a $3,318 write down of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned. In addition, other noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 includes an increase of $363 in expenses associated with our FDIC deposit insurance assessments due to an increase in the base assessment rates applicable to all insured institutions.

Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 3.70% for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2.82% for the comparable period in 2009. The net overhead ratio, which is defined as noninterest expense less noninterest income, expressed as a percent of average assets, was (1.49)% and 1.31% for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The efficiency ratio measures the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. Our efficiency ratio was 47.68% for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to 64.73% for the same period of 2009. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income. The improvement in the Company’s net overhead ratio and its efficiency ratio primarily resulted from increases in our noninterest income resulting from the $42,211 gain associated with the Crescent acquisition.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $11,029 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,451 for the same period in 2009. The effective tax rates for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 36.06% and 25.56%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is attributable to higher levels of taxable income in 2010 as a result of the gain arising from the Crescent acquisition. We continually seek investing opportunities in assets, primarily through state and local investment securities, whose earnings are given favorable tax treatment.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased 0.73% to $75,207 for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $74,664 for the same period in 2009. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest margin for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was 3.20% compared to 3.15% for the same period in 2009. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 to the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, competitive and market-wide liquidity factors affecting the cost of funding sources, particularly deposits, began to ease. This allowed the Company to use funding sources during this period with a lower cost than the sources available in the corresponding period in 2009, resulting in an increase in net interest margin. This increase was offset by higher levels of premium amortization due to increased prepayments on our mortgage-backed securities portfolio, which reduced net interest margin by 7 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increased prepayments on our mortgage-backed securities portfolio were attributable to the securities repurchase program implemented by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the first half of 2010. The acquisition of Crescent further reduced net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 by 7 basis points.

Interest income decreased 5.97% to $121,522 for the first nine months of 2010 from $129,233 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to decreases in yield and volume of interest-earning assets and changes in the mix of interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $6,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The tax equivalent yield on earning assets decreased 27 basis points to 5.08% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 5.35% for the same period in 2009. The tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio was 4.44% for the first nine months of 2010, down 63 basis points from 5.07% in the corresponding period in 2009. The decline in yield on the investment portfolio was a result of the call of securities within the Company’s portfolio that had higher rates than the rates on the securities that the Company purchased with the proceeds of such calls. These rates were lower due to a generally lower interest rate environment. The acquisition of Crescent contributed average assets of $158,964 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and reduced the tax equivalent yield on earning assets by 3 basis points.

The following table presents the percentage of total average earning assets, by type and yield, for the nine months ended September 30 for each of the years presented:

 

     Percentage of Total     Yield  
     2010     2009     2010     2009  

Loans

     72.50     76.30     5.65     5.60

Interest expense decreased 15.12% to $46,316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $54,569 for the same period in 2009. This decrease primarily resulted from reductions in the cost of deposits and in the volume of borrowed funds. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits, which had an average cost of 1.76%, increased $258,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The acquisition of Crescent contributed average interest-bearing deposits of $185,717 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The average balance of borrowed funds, which had an average cost of 3.64%, decreased $229,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 37 basis points to 2.06% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2.43% for the same period in 2009.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $81,362 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $44,139 for the same period in 2009. As with the three month period, the majority of the increase in our noninterest income resulted from the $42,211 gain associated with the Crescent acquisition.

Service charges on deposits were $16,222 and $16,199 for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Overdraft fees were $14,581 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $14,568 for the same period in 2009.

Fees and commissions were $10,784 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $13,067 for the same period in 2009. Fees charged for loan services were $4,261 for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $6,669 for the same period in 2009, which is reflective of increased production in residential mortgage loans being refinanced due to a decline in mortgage interest rates during the first nine months of 2009 that was not present during the first nine months of 2010. For the first nine months of 2010, fees associated with debit card usage were $4,335, up 6.91% from $4,055 for the same period in 2009. Revenues generated from the sale of all specialized products by the Financial Services division, totaled $957 for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $1,109 for the same period of 2009. Revenue generated by the trust department for managing accounts was $1,778 for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to $1,480 for the same period in 2009.

Income earned on insurance products was $2,492 and $2,614 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Contingency income is a bonus received from the insurance underwriters and is based both on commission income and claims experience on our client’s policies during the previous year. Increases and decreases in contingency income are reflective of corresponding increases and decreases in the amount of claims paid by insurance carriers. Contingency income, which is included in “Other noninterest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $264 and $299 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized other-than-temporary-impairment losses of $3,075 related to investments in pooled trust preferred securities. Gains on sales of securities available for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $3,955, resulting from the sale of approximately $125,969 in securities. Gains on sales of securities available for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,550, resulting from the sale of approximately $100,295 in securities. These gains were offset by the complete write-off of the Company’s $645 investment in Silverton Financial Services, Inc., the holding company of Silverton Bank, N.A., which was placed in receivership on May 1, 2009.

Gains from sales of mortgage loans held for sale were $4,097 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $5,901 for the same period in 2009, also a result of increased production in the first quarter of 2009 due to lower mortgage interest rates, as noted above.

The Company recognized a gain on the acquisition of Crescent during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaling $42,211.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $91,393 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $80,170 for the same period in 2009.

Salaries and employee benefits for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 were $42,943 compared to $41,843 for the same period last year. Salaries and benefits attributable to the Crescent acquisition totaled $1,647.

Data processing costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 were $4,709, an increase of $520 compared to $4,189 for the same period last year.

Net occupancy expense and equipment expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 decreased $229 to $9,128 over the comparable period for the prior year.

Amortization of intangible assets was $1,451 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Advertising and public relations expense was $3,027 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 compared to $2,706 for the same period in 2009.

Communication expense was $3,351 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $3,356 for the same period in 2009.

The Company incurred prepayment penalties of $2,785 as a result of the early paydown of $148,000 of FHLB advances during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Other noninterest expense was $21,339 and $14,324 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Merger expenses related to the acquisition of Crescent recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,214. Expenses on other real estate owned totaled $6,330 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 compared to $1,665 for the same period in 2009. Expenses on other real estate owned for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 included a $3,318 write down of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned. In addition, other noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes an increase of $1,100 in expenses associated with our FDIC deposit insurance assessments.

Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 3.19% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2.88% for the comparable period in 2009. The net overhead ratio was 0.38% and 1.35% for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our efficiency ratio decreased to 57.01% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to 65.60% for the same period of 2009. The improvement in the Company’s net overhead ratio and its efficiency ratio primarily resulted from increases in our noninterest income resulting from the $42,211 gain associated with the Crescent acquisition.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $13,057 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $5,056 for the same period in 2009. The effective tax rates for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 32.63% and 25.87%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is attributable to higher levels of taxable income in 2010 as a result of the gain arising from the Crescent acquisition.

Risk Management

The management of risk is an on-going process. Primary risks that are associated with the Company include credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Credit and interest rate risk are discussed below, while liquidity risk is discussed in the next subsection under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Credit Risk and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses, including collective impairment as recognized under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies.” Other considerations in establishing the allowance include the risk rating of individual credits, the size and diversity of the portfolio, economic conditions reflected within industry segments, the unemployment rate in our markets, loan segmentation, historical losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio and the results of periodic credit reviews by internal loan review and regulators.

The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that is believed to be adequate to meet the inherent risks of losses in our loan portfolio. Factors considered by management in determining the amount of provision for loan losses to charge to current operations include the internal risk rating of individual credits, historical and current trends in net charge-offs, trends in nonperforming loans, trends in past due loans, trends in the market values of underlying collateral securing loans and the current economic conditions in the market in which we operate.

Loans acquired in the Crescent acquisition were recorded, as of the acquisition date, at fair value. The fair value of these loans represents the expected discounted cash flows to be received over the lives of the loans, taking into account the Company’s estimate of future credit losses on the loans. Because the fair value measurement incorporates an estimate of losses on acquired loans, these loans were excluded from the calculation of the allowance for loan losses and no provision for loan losses was recorded for these loans during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $11,500 for the third quarter of 2010 as compared to $7,350 for the same period in 2009. The provision for loan losses was $25,165 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $19,090 for the same period in 2009. The increase in the provision for loan losses recorded during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009 was a result of continuing credit deterioration in 2010, which is reflected in the increased levels of net charge-offs, nonperforming loans and loans past due 30 to 89 days in comparison to prior periods. The higher provision was also attributable to the Company’s ongoing review of the loan portfolio and the identification of potential deterioration in the collateral values on certain loans identified in this process.

Charge-offs for the first nine months of 2010 were higher as compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of the continuing effects of the economic downturn in our markets on borrowers’ ability to repay their loans and the decline in market values of underlying collateral securing loans, primarily real estate values.

Nonperforming loans are loans on which the accrual of interest has stopped and loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more on which interest continues to accrue. A nonperforming loan may be returned to performing status when the loan has been brought current, the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make principal and interest payments timely and the loan is properly collateralized.

The asset quality measures surrounding the Company’s nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets discussed in the remainder of this section exclude covered loans and other real estate owned (“covered assets”) relating to the Crescent acquisition. Due to the significant difference in the accounting for the covered assets and the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC, the Company believes that excluding the covered assets from its asset quality measures provides a more meaningful presentation of the Company’s asset quality. Purchased impaired loans had evidence of deterioration in credit quality prior to acquisition, and thus the fair value of these loans as of the acquisition date include an estimate of credit losses. These loans, as well as acquired loans with no evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition, are accounted for on a pool basis, and these pools are considered to be performing. Purchased impaired loans were not classified as nonperforming assets at September 30, 2010 as the loans are considered to be performing under FASB ASC Subtopic 310-30, “Receivables –Loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality.” As a result, interest income, through the accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased loans accounted for under FASB ASC Subtopic 310-30. At September 30, 2010, loans covered by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC totaling $67,135 were on nonaccrual status. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest covered by loss-sharing agreements at September 30, 2010. Other real estate owned covered by loss-sharing agreements totaled $49,286 at September 30, 2010.

Nonperforming loans that are not covered by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC were $65,597 at September 30, 2010 as compared to $50,025 at December 31, 2009. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans not covered by loss-sharing agreements were 2.94% at September 30, 2010 compared to 2.13% at December 31, 2009. The increase in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009 is primarily attributable to continued credit deterioration as a result of the prolonged effects of the economic turndown on borrowers’ ability to make timely payments on their loans, particularly in our loans secured by real estate. Management has evaluated these loans and other loans classified as nonperforming and believes that all nonperforming loans have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010.

Restructured loans are those for which concessions have been granted to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider due to a deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition. Such concessions may include reduction in interest rates or deferral of interest or principal payments. The Company typically makes concessions at the time of renewal of the loan based upon the Company’s determination that the borrower will be able to perform under the terms of the restructured loan; the Company also requires the borrower to be current in accordance with the original terms of the loan.

Restructured loans totaled $34,012 at September 30, 2010 compared to $36,335 at December 31, 2009. At September 30, 2010, total loans restructured through interest rate concessions represented 86.45% of total restructured loans, while loans restructured by a concession in payment terms represented the remainder. Restructured loans totaling $1,009 and $109 were 30-89 days past due at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, while the remainder were current and performing in accordance with the new terms of the loan.

Other real estate owned and repossessions consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value based on appraised value less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of foreclosure of properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Reductions in the carrying value subsequent to acquisition are charged to earnings and are included in “Other noninterest expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $18,334 was sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, resulting in a net loss of $712.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company enters into mortgage loan commitments with its customers. Under the mortgage loan commitments, interest rates for a mortgage loan are locked in with the customer for a period of time, typically thirty days. Once a mortgage loan commitment is entered into with a customer, the Company enters into a sales agreement with an investor in the secondary market to sell such loan on a “best efforts” basis. As such, the Company does not incur risk if the mortgage loan commitment in the pipeline fails to close.

For further discussion of these derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note J, “Derivative Instruments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management is the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs.

Core deposits, which are deposits excluding time deposits, are a major source of funds used by Renasant Bank to meet cash flow needs. While we do not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, we do influence those choices with the rates we offer and with the deposit products we offer. Understanding the competitive pressures on deposits is key to maintaining the ability to acquire and retain these funds in a variety of markets. When evaluating the movement of these funds, even during large interest rate changes, it is essential that we continue to attract deposits that can be used to meet cash flow needs. Management continues to monitor the liquidity and non-core dependency ratios to ensure compliance with Asset/Liability Committee targets.

Our investment portfolio is another alternative for meeting liquidity needs. These assets generally have readily available markets that offer conversions to cash as needed. The balance of our investment portfolio was $745,486 at September 30, 2010 as compared to $714,164 at December 31, 2009. Securities within our investment portfolio are also used to secure certain deposit types and short-term borrowings. At September 30, 2010, securities with a carrying value of approximately $379,048 were pledged to secure public fund deposits and as collateral for short-term borrowings as compared to $386,965 at December 31, 2009. Management anticipates that the continued runoff of public fund deposit balances as government agencies utilize the funds held in these accounts will increase the amount of our unpledged investment securities.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB. Interest is charged at the prevailing market rate on federal funds purchased and FHLB advances. There were no outstanding federal funds purchased at September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009. Funds obtained from the FHLB are used primarily to match-fund real estate loans and other longer-term fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and may also be used to meet day to day liquidity needs. As of September 30, 2010, the balance of our outstanding advances with the FHLB was $176,851 compared to $469,574 at December 31, 2009. The total amount of remaining credit available to us from the FHLB at September 30, 2010 was $695,748. We also maintain lines of credits with other commercial banks totaling $85,000. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines of credit at September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

The following table presents the percentage of total average deposits and borrowed funds, by type, and total cost of funds, as of September 30 for each of the nine months presented:

 

     Percentage of Total     Cost of Funds

Total deposits and borrowed funds

     100.00     100.00     1.86     2.21
                                

Our strategy in choosing funds is focused on attempting to mitigate interest rate risk, and thus we utilize funding sources that are commensurate with the interest rate risk associated with the assets. We constantly monitor our funds position and evaluate the effect various funding sources have on our financial position.

Cash and cash equivalents were $296,413 at September 30, 2010 compared to $112,256 at September 30, 2009. Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $413,714 compared to $42,809 for the same period of 2009. The net cash proceeds received from the acquisition of Crescent were $337,127 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Purchases of investment securities were $354,955 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 compared to $309,873 for the nine months ending September 30, 2009. Proceeds from the maturity or call of securities within our investment portfolio were $212,102 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 compared to $172,551 for the nine months ending September 30, 2009. Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale during the first nine months of 2010 totaled $129,924 compared to $102,490 for the nine months ending September 30, 2009. Cash provided by a net decrease in loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $91,523 compared to $78,412 for the same period in 2009.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $328,785 compared to $92,657 for the same period of 2009. Cash provided from the acquisition of Crescent was primarily used to reduce our total borrowings by $318,595. The net proceeds to the Company from the issuance and sale of 3,925,000 common shares in a private placement, which was completed on July 23, 2010, were $51,402.

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources, as well as its ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, are substantially dependent on the ability of Renasant Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Under Mississippi law, a Mississippi bank may not pay dividends unless its earned surplus is in excess of three times capital stock. A Mississippi bank with earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock may pay a dividend, subject to the approval of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance. In addition, the FDIC must also approve any payment of dividends by Renasant Bank. As such, the approval of these supervisory authorities is required prior to Renasant Bank paying dividends to the Company. Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount Renasant Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At September 30, 2010, the maximum amount available for transfer from Renasant Bank to the Company in the form of loans was $37,475. There were no loans outstanding from Renasant Bank to the Company at September 30, 2010. These restrictions did not have any impact on the Company’s ability to meet its cash obligations in the first nine months of 2010, nor does management expect such restrictions to materially impact the Company’s ability to meet its currently-anticipated cash obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company enters into loan commitments and standby letters of credit in the normal course of its business. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Company’s customers. Standby letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, equipment, etc.) is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

Loan commitments and standby letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company in that while the borrower has the ability to draw upon these commitments at any time, these commitments often expire without being drawn upon. The Company’s unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

 

     September 30,
2010
     December 31,
2009
 

Loan commitments

   $ 313,417       $ 320,259   

Standby letters of credit

     28,817         28,956   

The Company closely monitors the amount of remaining future commitments to borrowers in light of prevailing economic conditions and adjusts these commitments as necessary. The Company will continue this process as new commitments are entered into or existing commitments are renewed.

Market risk resulting from interest rate changes on particular off-balance sheet financial instruments may be offset by other on- or off-balance sheet transactions. Interest rate sensitivity is monitored by the Company for determining the net effect of potential changes in interest rates on the market value of both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Contractual Obligations

There have not been any material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to any of the contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Matters

Renasant Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Renasant Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Renasant Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Renasant Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Renasant Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Renasant Bank to maintain minimum balances and ratios. All banks are required to have core capital (Tier I) of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, Tier I leverage of 4% of average assets, and total capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets (as such ratios are defined in Federal regulations). To be categorized as well capitalized, banks must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based and total risk-based ratios of 5%, 6%, and 10%, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, Renasant Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of September 30, 2010, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized Renasant Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed Renasant Bank’s category.

Table of Contents

 

The following table sets forth the minimum capital ratios required for each of the Company and Renasant Bank to be rated as well capitalized and the capital ratios for the Company and Renasant Bank as of September 30, 2010:

 

     Minimum Capital
Requirement to be
Well Capitalized
    Renasant
Corporation
    Renasant
Bank
 

Tier I Leverage (to average assets)

     5.00     9.03     8.45

Tier I Capital (to risk-weighted assets)

     6.00     13.55     12.82

Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets)

     10.00     14.80     14.07

Management recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong capital base. As the above ratios indicate, the Company and Renasant Bank exceed the requirements to be rated as well capitalized.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company declined to participate in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program, which is part of the federal government’s Troubled Assets Relief Program. At the time of the decision, the board of directors and management believed that the Company’s strong capital position, coupled with future earnings, would allow us to meet projected balance sheet growth, deal with the downturn in the economy and take advantage of strategic growth opportunities without funds obtained under the Capital Purchase Program. As the capital ratios for the Company and Renasant Bank have remained in excess of the requirements to be categorized as well capitalized, the board of directors and management continue to believe this was the correct decision.

On July 8, 2009, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The shelf registration statement, which the SEC declared effective on July 13, 2009, allows the Company to raise capital from time to time, up to an aggregate of $150,000, through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and units, or a combination thereof, subject to market conditions. Specific terms and prices will be determined at the time of any offering under a separate prospectus supplement that the Company will be required to file with the SEC at the time of the specific offering. The proceeds of the sale of securities, if and when offered, will be used for general corporate purposes as described in any prospectus supplement and could include the expansion of the Company’s banking, insurance and wealth management operations as well as other business opportunities.

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company issued and sold 3,925,000 shares of its $5.00 par value per share common stock at a purchase price of $14.00 per share in a private placement with accredited institutional investors. The net proceeds to the Company from the private placement, which was completed on July 23, 2010, were $51,402.

The following table sets forth the Company’s book value per share, tangible book value per share, capital ratio and tangible capital ratio at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective for ensuring that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
