LAFAYETTE, La., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IBERIABANK Corporation
(Nasdaq: IBKC), the holding company of the 121-year-old IBERIABANK
(http://www.iberiabank.com) and Pulaski Bank and Trust Company
(http://www.pulaskibank.com), announced earnings of $9.5 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008, down 5% compared to the same period in 2007 and
down 29% compared to the first quarter of 2008 ("linked quarter basis").  In
the second quarter of 2008, the Company reported fully diluted earnings per
share ("EPS") of $0.74, down 4% compared to $0.78 in the same quarter of 2007,
and down 29% on a linked quarter basis.  The second quarter 2008 results
included a negative impact associated with the acquisition of certain assets
and liabilities of ANB Financial ("ANB").  ANB had a pre-tax $1.1 million
negative impact in the second quarter of 2008, or $0.05 per share on an
after-tax basis.  Excluding the impact of ANB, the Company earned $10.2
million or $0.80 per share.  The consensus analyst EPS estimate for the second
quarter of 2008 for the Company was $0.84 as reported by First Call.
Daryl G. Byrd, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
stated, "We are pleased to report a significant improvement in our credit
quality, substantial liquidity, solid loan and deposit growth, and bolstered
capital position.  We believe we are uniquely well positioned for this current
difficult banking environment."  Byrd continued, "We also believe our near
term margin sacrifice will serve us very well in the second half of 2008 and
thereafter."
    Highlights For The Quarter Ended June 30, 2008
    --  Asset Quality. Nonperforming Assets ("NPAs") were $42 million at June
30, 2008, down $6 million, or 12% compared to March 31, 2008.  The ratio of
NPAs to total assets declined from 0.93% at March 31, 2008 to 0.79% at June
30, 2008.  The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $1.5 million in the
second quarter of 2008, down 43% on a linked quarter basis.  The Pulaski
residential builder portfolio declined $8 million, or 16%, to $45 million at
June 30, 2008.  During the second quarter of 2008, the Company sold
approximately $3.9 million in troubled credits that resulted in a $0.5 million
reduction in pre-tax income.
    --  ANB Acquisition Completed.  On May 9, 2008, the Company acquired
certain assets and assumed the insured, non-brokered deposits of ANB in
Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, Arkansas MSA market area.  At June 30, 2008,
the ANB deposits totaled $133 million and loans were $3 million serving
clients through eight banking offices throughout Northwest Arkansas.  The
initial deposit run-off results were consistent with the Company's
pre-acquisition projections.  The Company believes the deposit run-off has
stabilized at the ANB franchise.  Merger-related expenses negatively impacted
the second quarter of 2008 EPS by three-and-a-half cents and the ongoing ANB
operations tempered EPS by approximately $0.02 per share.
    --  Loans and Deposits.  Average loans increased $95 million, or 3%, on a
linked quarter basis, and $116 million, or 3%, on a period-end basis compared
to March 31, 2008.  Average deposits increased $354 million, or 10%, on a
linked quarter basis, and $225 million, or 6% on a period-end basis.  The
deposit growth was driven by a significant deposit campaign initiated late in
the first quarter of 2008 and the ANB transaction completed in the second
quarter of 2008.  Approximately $752 million in time deposits are scheduled to
mature over the next six months at a weighted average rate of 4.12%.
    --  Net Interest Margin.  The tax equivalent net interest margin
("margin") declined 15 basis points on a linked quarter basis, to 2.89%.
Approximately eight basis points of the decline was due to the increase in
excess cash emanating from the deposit campaign and five basis points were due
to the ANB transaction.
    --  Capital Strength.  IBERIABANK issued and sold $25 million in
subordinated debentures on July 21, 2008 at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 300
basis points and maturing in seven years.  The subordinated debt qualifies as
"tier 2 capital" under regulatory guidelines and is estimated to have only a
modest negative impact on future earnings.  At June 30, 2008, the Company
reported a tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.24%, down 22 basis points compared to
March 31, 2008, due to the ANB transaction.  Similarly, the Company's total
risk based capital ratio declined by 24 basis points to 10.39% at June 30,
2008.  The debt issuance is estimated to increase the pro forma June 30, 2008
total risk based capital ratio by approximately 78 basis points at IBERIABANK
(from 10.28% to 11.06%) and by 58 basis points at IBERIABANK Corporation (from
10.39% to 10.97%).
    Balance Sheet And Yields
    Since March 31, 2008, total assets climbed $192 million, or 4%, to $5.3
billion at June 30, 2008.  During this period, shareholders' equity decreased
$2 million, or less than 1%, to $510 million at June 30, 2008.  Excess
liquidity generated from deposit growth and the ANB transaction funded growth
in investment securities, short-term investments, and loans during the second
quarter of 2008.
    The investment portfolio volume increased $92 million, or 11%, to $946
million at June 30, 2008 compared to March 31, 2008.  The investment portfolio
equated to 18% of total assets at June 30, 2008, compared to 17% at March 31,
2008.  At June 30, 2008, the portfolio had a modified duration of 2.9 years,
unchanged compared to March 31, 2008.  The Company's investment portfolio has
very limited extension risk.  Based on current projected speeds and other
assumptions, the portfolio is expected to generate approximately $292 million
in cash flows, or about 31% of the portfolio, over the next 18 months.  The
portfolio had an unrealized loss of approximately $2 million at June 30, 2008,
compared to an unrealized gain of $14 million at March 31, 2008.  The average
yield on investment securities decreased 11 basis points on a linked quarter
basis, to 5.07% in the second quarter of 2008.  The Company holds in its
investment portfolio primarily agency and municipal securities.  The Company
holds no equity securities (including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae preferred
stock), corporate bonds, trust preferred securities, collateralized debt
obligations ("CDOs"), collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), hedge fund
investments, structured investment vehicles ("SIVs"), and auction rate
securities in its investment portfolio.

     Growth                                     -3%          5%


    Average loans increased $95 million on a linked quarter basis, while on a
period-end basis, total loans increased $116 million, or 3%, from March 31,
2008 to June 30, 2008.  IBERIABANK experienced $79 million in loan growth,
including $54 million in commercial loans, $31 million in home equity loans
and lines, and $6 million in direct and indirect automobile, offset by a $9
million decline in mortgage loans.  Pulaski reported a $37 million increase in
loans, including $28 million in commercial, $7 million in home equity loans
and lines, and $4 million in credit card receivables.
    The Pulaski builder construction portfolio continued to compress in the
second quarter as homes were sold and loans were paid down.  The total volume
of this portfolio declined from $113 million prior to the Pulaski acquisition,
to $87 million at acquisition in February 2007, to $53 million at March 31,
2008, and $45 million at June 30, 2008 (down 16% in the second quarter of
2008).  The portfolio contains 176 completed houses ($30 million), 21 houses
less than 100% completed ($3 million), 200 lot loans ($8 million), and only
two development loans ($4 million).  The average funded amount is
approximately $169,000 per loan (down 3%).  At June 30, 2008, Pulaski's
builder construction portfolio accounted for 5.5% of Pulaski's loan portfolio
(6.4% on March 31, 2008) and only 1.3% of the Company's consolidated total
loan portfolio (down from 1.6% on March 31, 2008).  The Company's construction
and land development loan portfolio accounted for only 5.1% of total loans at
June 30, 2008.
    The builder construction loan portfolio in Northwest Arkansas and Memphis
declined in the second quarter of 2008 despite continued softness in the
spring home selling season.  Current loans in this portfolio declined by $5
million, or 16% compared to March 31, 2008.  Noncurrent loans declined by $1
million, or 8% over this period.  At June 30, 2008, the Company had 36% of
Pulaski's builder loans on nonaccrual status.  The Company believes the
combination of reserves and accrued impairments are adequate to account for
the current risk associated with the residential construction loan portfolio.
    The Company's commercial real estate ("CRE") loan portfolio, excluding the
Pulaski builder portfolio, is comprised of credits primarily in the Company's
banking markets.  The average loan size in this portfolio is $473,000 and
loans past due 30 days or more (including nonaccruing loans) equate to only
0.39% of the CRE loans outstanding excluding the Pulaski builder portfolio.
Approximately 56% of the Company's CRE portfolio is based in southern
Louisiana, 19% in northern Louisiana, and 25% in Pulaski's markets.  Elevated
energy prices provide support to many of the local economies in southern
Louisiana, with additional incremental benefits in northwest Louisiana and
central Arkansas.  Approximately 55% of the Company's CRE portfolio (including
construction-related credits) is owner-occupied and 45% non-owner occupied.
Non-owner occupied CRE loans equate to 166% of total risk based capital at
June 30, 2008.
    The Company's consumer loan portfolio maintains exceptional asset quality.
Based on the most recent evaluation of the consumer loan portfolio, the
average credit score of the portfolio was 718.  Loans past due 30 days or more
in this portfolio were 1.45% at June 30, 2008.  Home equity loans totaled $351
million with an average credit score of 725 and 0.77% past due 30 days or
more.  Home equity lines of credit totaled $135 million with an average credit
score of 727 and 0.43% past due 30 days or more.  By comparison, the American
Bankers Association reported the nationwide past due statistics at March 31,
2008 were one-and-a-half times greater, at 1.1%.  Approximately 61% of the
Company's total home equity portfolio is in Louisiana, 23% in Arkansas, and
12% in Oklahoma.  Annualized net charge-offs in this portfolio were less than
0.02% of loans in the second quarter of 2008.  The weighted average
loan-to-value at origination for this portfolio over the last two-and-a-half
years was 73%.  Total consumer real estate loan production in the second
quarter of 2008 was over 1,200 loans (up 51% on a linked quarter basis)
totaling $89 million (up 68% on a linked quarter basis), had an average credit
score of 751, and an average loan-to-value of 73%.
    The indirect automobile portfolio totaled $248 million at June 30, 2008,
up 3% compared to March 31, 2008.  This portfolio had 0.75% in loans past due
30 days or more (including nonaccruing loans) at June 30, 2008, near the
lowest levels over the last eight years.  Annualized net charge-offs equated
to 0.14% of loans in the second quarter of 2008, also near an eight year low.
Approximately 79% of the indirect automobile portfolio is in the Acadiana
region of Louisiana, which experiences one of the lowest unemployment rates in
the nation.
    At June 30, 2008, approximately 67% of the Company's loan portfolio had
fixed interest rates.  Eliminating fixed rate loans that mature within a
one-year time frame reduces this percentage to 57%.  Approximately 76% of the
Company's time deposit base reprices within the next 12 months.  The Company
has historically been slightly liability sensitive, according to interest rate
risk modeling.  The rapid decline in short-term interest rates caused the
Company's interest rate risk position to become more asset sensitive over
time.  The Company's interest rate risk modeling at June 30, 2008, indicated
the Company is slightly asset sensitive over a 12-month time frame.  A 100
basis point instantaneous and parallel upward shift in interest rates is
estimated to increase net interest income over 12 months by approximately
1.5%.  Similarly, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates is expected to
decrease net interest income by approximately 1.4%.  The influence of using
forward curves at June 30, 2008 as the basis for projecting the interest rate
environment would have no material impact on net interest income compared to
the scenario of no change in interest rates.
    On a linked quarter basis, the yield on average total loans decreased 49
basis points, to 6.03%.  On this basis, the yields on commercial and consumer
loans decreased 58 and 60 basis points, respectively, during the second
quarter of 2008, while the yield on mortgage loans declined seven basis
points.

    Total average deposits increased $354 million, or 10%, on a linked quarter
basis.  The Company initiated a deposit campaign late in the first quarter of
2008, resulting in substantial deposit growth.  Between March 31, 2008 and
June 30, 2008, total deposits grew $225 million of which $133 million, or 59%,
was the result of the ANB transaction.  During this period, deposits at
IBERIABANK increased $104 million, or 4%, while Pulaski deposits increased
$122 million, or 11%.  The campaign had an eight-basis point estimated
negative impact on the margin for the second quarter of 2008 until the funds
are fully deployed in higher yielding earning assets.
    On a linked quarter basis, average noninterest bearing deposits increased
$39 million, or 9%, and interest bearing deposits increased $316 million, or
10%.  The average interest rate of interest bearing deposits in the second
quarter of 2008 was 3.01%, a decrease of 27 basis points on a linked quarter
basis.  The average interest rate of total interest bearing liabilities
decreased 31 basis points during this period as the cost of short-term
borrowings decreased 159 basis points and long-term borrowing costs declined
50 basis points.

    Operating Results
    Tax-equivalent net interest income decreased $0.3 million, or 1% on a
linked quarter basis, driven by the 15 basis point decline in the margin.  On
a linked quarter basis, the average earning asset yield declined 44 basis
points as short-term assets rapidly repriced downward due to Federal
Reserve-induced interest rate cuts in early 2008.  The decline in earning
asset yield outpaced the 31 basis point decline in the cost of interest
bearing liabilities, due to the lag in time deposit repricing until those time
deposits mature.

    The Company anticipates that its net interest margin may improve in future
periods due to a combination of factors.  First, the excess cash generated
from the successful deposit campaign and the ANB transaction will be
methodically redeployed into higher yielding assets consistent with the
Company's high quality standards.  Second, the higher rate features associated
with a portion of funds raised in the recent deposit campaign provide an
opportunity to improve funding costs as those rates reset to prevailing market
rates.  Third, the Company has a significant volume of time deposits that are
scheduled to mature over the next few quarters at rates well above current
market levels.  Finally, the Company initiated its annual home equity campaign
in the first half of 2008 with promotional rates that will reprice beginning
in the third quarter of 2008.
    Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2008 decreased $3.6 million,
or 14%, on a linked quarter basis.  Two significant factors that influenced
the reported decline were a $6.9 million gain of the sale of credit card
receivables in the first quarter of 2008 and a $1.1 million loss on sales of
troubled assets in the second quarter of 2008.  In May 2008, the Company sold
four non-builder related credits totaling $3.9 million, resulting in a $1.1
million loss recorded in the "Gain on Sale of Loans" line of the income
statement.  The Company had previously placed $0.6 million in reserves and
discounts against these credits, which were released upon completion of the
sales.  As a result, the effect of the sales reduced noninterest income by
$1.1 million and income before taxes by approximately $0.5 million.  Excluding
those two sale items, noninterest income was up $4.4 million, or 23% on a
linked quarter basis, driven by income from mortgage, brokerage, service
charges, and gains on the sale of investments.
    The Company's mortgage origination business remained brisk throughout the
second quarter.  Consistent with seasonal patterns, the Company originated
$268 million in mortgage loans during the second quarter of 2008, up 8% on a
linked quarter basis.  Loan refinancing accounted for approximately 26% of
mortgage loan originations in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 34% in
the first quarter of 2008.  The Company sold $267 million in mortgage loans to
investors during this period, up 16% compared to the first quarter of 2008,
while sales margins expanded 20 basis points.  Gains on sales of mortgage
loans totaled $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, up 30% on a linked
quarter basis.  The mortgage pipeline totaled $70 million at June 30, 2008,
down compared to $97 million at March 31, 2008.
    Title insurance revenues totaled $5.5 million during the quarter, an
increase of $1.0 million, or 21% on a linked quarter basis.  The increase in
title revenues was due in part to the full-quarter impact of the acquisition
of American Abstract in Little Rock, Arkansas, consummated on March 2, 2008.
Brokerage commissions totaled $1.7 million in the second quarter, up $0.4
million, or 30%, over this period.  Service charges on deposit accounts
improved $0.8 million, or 16%, on a linked quarter basis, due primarily to the
acquired ANB deposits.
    During the second quarter of 2008, the Company bought and sold
approximately $21 million in investment securities.  The purchases were
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), municipals, and mortgage backed
securities, and the sales were agency and mortgage backed securities.  The
effect of the bond swap transaction was a $0.5 million gain on the sale of the
securities, with no material change in projected income, average life, or
yield of the investment portfolio.
    Noninterest expense increased $3.5 million, or 9%, on a linked quarter
basis.  ANB and merger-related expenses accounted for $1.2 million, or
one-third of the linked quarter expense growth.  Salary and benefit costs
increased $1.5 million, or 7%, due to the acquisitions and higher
mortgage-related commissions.  FDIC deposit insurance premiums increased $0.5
million, or 160%, on a linked quarter basis, as a result of the ANB
transaction and the deposit campaign.
    Net income in the second quarter of 2008 totaled $9.5 million, down 5% on
a linked quarter basis.  Return on average assets ("ROA") was 0.73% for the
second quarter of 2008.  Return on average equity ("ROE") was 7.45%, and
return on average tangible equity was 15.70%.  The Company believes earnings
improvements over time will result as the excess cash generated from the
deposit campaign and ANB transaction are fully deployed into higher yielding
assets.
    Asset Quality
    The Company experienced continued strength in credit quality at the legacy
IBERIABANK franchise and improvement in the acquired builder construction
portfolio at the Pulaski franchise.

    At June 30, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was 1.12%, compared to
1.14% at March 31, 2008.  Loan loss reserve coverage of nonperforming loans
and nonperforming assets at June 30, 2008 were 1.2 and 1.0 times,
respectively, slightly above the ratios at March 31, 2008.
    The Company reported net charge-offs of $1.0 million in the second quarter
of 2008, down $0.8 million, or 45%, on a linked quarter basis.  The ratio of
net charge-offs to average loans was 0.11% in the second quarter of 2008,
compared to 0.21% in the first quarter of 2008.  The Company recorded a $1.5
million loan loss provision in the second quarter of 2008, down 43% from a
$2.7 million provision in the first quarter of 2008.  Management considers the
loan loss reserve adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan
portfolio.
    Capital Position
    Period-end and average shareholders' equity did not materially change on a
linked quarter basis.  The Company's equity-to-assets ratio was 9.57% at June
30, 2008, compared to 9.97% at March 31, 2008.  At June 30, 2008, book value
was $39.49, down $0.27 per share, or 1%, compared to March 31, 2008.
Similarly, tangible book value per share declined $0.31, or 2%, over that
period to $19.27.  Tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.24% at June 30, 2008, down 22
basis points compared to March 31, 2008.  The total risk-based capital ratio
was 10.39% at June 30, 2008, down 24 basis points compared to March 31, 2008.
On July 21, 2008, the Company issued and sold $25 million in seven-year
subordinated debentures at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points.  The
debt qualifies as "tier 2" regulatory capital.  On a pro forma basis on June
30, 2008, the debt would improve the total risk based capital ratios of
IBERIABANK and the Company by 78 and 58 basis points, respectively.
    On April 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a
share repurchase program of up to 300,000 shares of the Company's outstanding
common stock, or approximately 2.3% of total shares outstanding.  Stock
repurchases under this program will be made from time to time, on the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of the
management of the Company.  The timing of these repurchases will depend on
market conditions and other requirements.  The Company purchased no shares
during the second quarter of 2008.  Approximately 149,000 shares remain to be
purchased under the current authorized program.
    On June 17, 2008, the Company announced the declaration of a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.34 per share.  This dividend level equated to an
annualized dividend rate of $1.36 per share and an indicated dividend yield of
2.82%, based on the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on July
21, 2008 of $48.31 per share.  Based on that closing stock price, the
Company's common stock traded at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.4 times the
current First Call average consensus analyst estimate of $3.36 per fully
diluted EPS for 2008.  This price also equates to 1.22 times June 30, 2008
book value per share of $39.49.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    This press release contains financial information determined by methods
other than in accordance with GAAP.  The Company's management uses these
non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's performance.
These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to exclude the
effects of the amortization of intangibles and include the tax benefit
associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt.  Since the presentation of
these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies,
management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of
the operating results of the Company's core businesses.  These non-GAAP
disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results
determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to
non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
    Forward Looking Statements
    To the extent that statements in this press release relate to future
plans, objectives, financial results or performance of IBERIABANK Corporation,
these statements are deemed to be forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such
statements, which are based on management's current information, estimates and
assumptions and the current economic environment, are generally identified by
the use of the words "plan", "believe", "expect", "intend", "anticipate",
"estimate", "project" or similar expressions.  IBERIABANK Corporation's actual
strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those
currently expected due to various risks and uncertainties.
    Actual results could differ materially because of factors such as our
ability to execute our growth strategy, risks relating to the integration of
acquired companies that have previously been operated separately, credit risk
of our customers, effect of the on-going correction in residential real estate
prices and reduced levels of home sales, sufficiency of our allowance for loan
losses, changes in interest rates, access to funding sources, reliance on the
services of executive management, competition for loans, deposits and
investment dollars, reputational risk and social factors, changes in
government regulations and legislation, geographic concentration of our
markets, rapid changes in the financial services industry, and hurricanes and
other adverse weather events.  These and other factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are
discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, available at the SEC's website,
http://www.sec.gov, and the Company's website, http://www.iberiabank.com.  All
information in this release is as of the date of this release.  The Company
undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the
statement to actual results or changes in the Company's expectations.
