BB&T reports 14.6% earnings growth in 3rd quarter
BB&T Corporation reported today that earnings for the third quarter of 1999
totaled $160.8 million, an increase of 14.6% compared to $140.3 million earned
in the third quarter of 1998. These results exclude after-tax merger-related
expenses of $19.7 million in 1999 and $4.9 million in 1998. On a diluted per
share basis, recurring earnings for the third quarter totaled $.50, an increase
of 13.6% compared to $.44 earned last year.
BB&T's current quarter results produced an annualized return on average
assets of 1.55% and an annualized return on average equity of 21.20%, compared
to prior year ratios of 1.57% and 20.33%, respectively. These performance ratios
compare very favorably with industry averages.
For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 1999, BB&T's recurring earnings totaled
$469.2 million, an increase of 16.3% compared to $403.3 million earned during
the first nine months of 1998. Diluted earnings per share, excluding
merger-related costs, totaled $1.46 for the first nine months of 1999, an
increase of 15.0% compared to $1.27 earned in 1998.
"We are extremely pleased to report excellent financial results for the
third quarter and the first nine months of 1999," said Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer John A. Allison. "Our performance continues to rank among
industry leaders, particularly in the areas of noninterest income growth, asset
quality and efficiency. Our noninterest income grew 31.4% during the first nine
months of the year compared to 1998. Our asset quality remains excellent, as
evidenced by an annualized net charge-off ratio of .24%, compared to an industry
average of .55%. We have also maintained a very high level of productivity, with
a cash basis efficiency ratio of 50.7% for the first nine months."
BB&T's "cash basis" operating results, which exclude the effects of
intangible assets and related amortization expenses, increased significantly in
the third quarter of 1999 compared to 1998. Cash basis earnings, excluding
nonrecurring merger-related costs, totaled $172.2 million for the third quarter
of 1999, or $.53 per diluted share, increases of 17.6% and 15.2%, respectively,
compared to prior year amounts. Recurring cash basis earnings for the third
quarter generated an annualized

return on average tangible assets of 1.69% and an annualized return on average
tangible equity of 27.88%.
Including merger-related expenses, net income for the third quarter of 1999
totaled $141.1 million, or $.44 per diluted share, compared to $135.4 million,
or $.43 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 1998. Net income for the nine
months ended Sept. 30, 1999, totaled $439.1 million, or $1.36 per diluted share,
compared to $392.4 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, for the first nine
months of 1998.
BB&T consummated three bank acquisitions during the third quarter. On July
9, BB&T completed its merger with First Citizens Corp., based in metro Atlanta,
Ga. First Citizens, with total assets of $421 million and 13 branches,
represents BB&T's initial entry into Atlanta, the largest metropolitan
statistical area in the Southeastern United States. On July 14, BB&T acquired
Mason-Dixon Bancshares Inc., of Westminster, Md. The acquisition of Mason-Dixon,
which has total assets of $1.2 billion and operates 21 full-service branches,
increases BB&T's deposit market share in Maryland, where BB&T currently ranks
seventh. On Aug. 27, BB&T expanded its western Virginia franchise and entered
Kentucky and West Virginia by completing the purchase of Matewan BancShares,
Inc. Matewan added $737 million in assets and 22 banking offices to BB&T's
banking network.
On April 28, BB&T announced an agreement to acquire First Liberty Financial
Corp. of Macon, Ga. First Liberty has $1.7 billion in assets and operates 39
banking offices. On July 28, BB&T announced plans to acquire Premier Bancshares,
Inc. of Atlanta, Ga. Premier, with $2.0 billion in assets and 32 banking
offices, will strengthen BB&T's presence in the Atlanta market. BB&T's total
assets in Georgia following the acquisitions of Premier, First Citizens and
First Liberty will total $4.1 billion. Following these acquisitions, BB&T will
rank eighth in deposit market share in Georgia.
BB&T Insurance Services, the 12th largest independent insurance agency
network in the country, continued its expansion in the third quarter through the
purchase of five independent agencies: Beam, Cooper, Gainey & Associates Inc. in
Morehead City, N.C.; Pioneer Title, LLC, with offices in Virginia Beach,
Norfolk, Chesapeake and Hampton, Va.; The Kay Company of Lumberton, N.C.; Macon
Insurance Associates, in Macon, Ga.; and Ingram-McDaniel & Associates, of
Thomaston, Ga.
"Among our primary objectives is the integration of our past acquisitions
and the pursuit of strategic future acquisitions," said Allison. "We have been
very successful in identifying and executing economically advantageous mergers.
This process, combined with solid internal growth, has resulted in the doubling
of BB&T's asset size since 1996."
BB&T had $41.6 billion in assets and 622 banking offices in the Carolinas,
Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland and Washington, D.C., as of
Sept. 30, 1999. BB&T's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange
under the trading symbol BBT. The closing price of BB&T's common stock on Oct. 8
was $33.81 per share.
