“I am proud of our record performance during 2005,” said David Zalman, Prosperity’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “We completed our largest acquisition in March with the addition of the FirstCapital Bank team. We finished the year with an even larger acquisition announcement on November 16, 2005 and expect to complete our merger with SNB Bancshares, Inc. during the second quarter of 2006.”

 

Zalman continued: “Our team of bankers completed a great year. A year in which we increased our footprint; maintained our commitment to superior asset quality; reported strong same store loan growth and continued to provide quality banking services to our growing list of customers.”

 

“As we look to 2006, we remain committed to building shareholder value through strong internal growth and strategic acquisitions,” concluded Zalman.

 

“As we reflect on 2005 and the extremely competitive loan and deposit environment, we are pleased with the 30.1% growth of demand deposits,” remarked Dan Rollins, President of Prosperity Bank®. “Same location loan growth of 6.4% underscores our commitment to internal growth and is the result of our team of dedicated, customer focused lenders rolling up their sleeves and working hard to earn the business.”

 

“Our merger integration team is making progress daily on our plans with SNB Bancshares. We have filed our regulatory applications with the Texas Department of Banking and the FDIC and anticipate filing the proxy statement and prospectus with the SEC within the next few weeks. We remain on our original schedule and expect to complete the acquisition early in the second quarter of 2006,” added Rollins.

For the three months ended December 31, 2005, net income was $12.627 million compared with $9.336 million for the same period in 2004. Net income per diluted common share was $0.45 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared with $0.41 for the same period in 2004.

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 increased 30.0%, to $29.356 million compared with $22.581 million during the same period in 2004.

Non-interest income increased 20.6% to $7.515 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared with $6.233 million for the same period in 2004.

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This release contains, and the remarks by our management on the conference call may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws that are based on current expectations, assumptions’ estimates and projections about Prosperity Bancshares®, and its subsidiaries. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of Prosperity’s control, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include whether we can: continue to sustain our current internal growth rate or our total growth rate; successfully close and integrate acquisitions; continue to provide products and services that appeal to our customers; continue to have access to the debt and equity capital we need to sustain our growth; and achieve our sales objectives. Other risks include the possibility that credit quality could deteriorate; actions of competitors; changes in laws and regulations (including changes in governmental interpretations of regulations and changes in accounting standards); customer and consumer demand, including customer and consumer response to marketing; effectiveness of spending, investments or programs; fluctuations in the cost and availability of supply chain resources; economic conditions, including currency rate fluctuations and interest rate fluctuations; weather; and the stock price volatility associated with “small-cap” companies. These and various other factors are discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports and statements we have filed with the SEC.

Net Interest Margin (tax equivalent) on a 30/360 day basis would be 3.77% and 3.70% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and 3.81% and 3.63% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

(E) Calculated by dividing total non-interest expense (excluding securities losses and credit loss provisions) by net interest income plus non-interest income (excluding securities gains). Additionally, taxes are not part of this calculation.
