Central Standard Time on April 18, 2002. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 18, 2002 SIMMONS FIRST ANNOUNCES RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS ----------------------------------------------------- Pine Bluff, Arkansas - Simmons First National Corporation today announced record first quarter earnings of $4,941,000, or $0.69 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2002. These earnings reflect an increase of $0.05 per share, or 7.8% over the first quarter 2001 diluted earnings per share of $0.64. Return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, was 1.00% and 10.79%, compared to 0.96% and 10.56%, respectively, for the same period in 2001. "We are pleased with results of the 2002 first quarter," said J. Thomas May, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Earnings per share were at a record level for the first quarter, primarily due to improvement in the Company's net interest margin, combined with the change in the accounting standards related to the amortization of goodwill. May also commented, "Despite a 4.0% reduction in our loan portfolio from the first quarter of 2001, we were able to improve our net interest margin from a reduction in interest expense and an increase in earning assets. The reduction in the loan portfolio is the result of a high level of single family residential loans being refinanced in the secondary market, a decrease in indirect lending activities resulting from car manufacturer incentives being offered, and some temporary payoffs of large lines of credits that are still customers of the bank." Average quarter to date total assets for the Corporation during the first quarter of 2002 were $2.0 billion, an increase of $92 million, or 4.8 %, over the average for the first quarter of 2001. Stockholders' equity at the end of the first quarter of 2002 was $184.8 million, a $9.8 million, or 5.6%, increase from March 31, 2001. The March 31, 2002 allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.64%, which is slightly improved from December 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2002, non-performing loans were 1.18% of total loans and the allowance for loan losses equaled 139% of non-performing loans.
