CULLEN/FROST REPORTS 4th QUARTER AND 2014 ANNUAL RESULTS


Double-digit increases in average loans and deposits
Record annual earnings in 2014
Credit quality improves
Assets top $28 billion


SAN ANTONIO - Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. today reported strong fourth quarter results and record annual earnings for 2014, with double-digit growth in deposits and loans boosting the Texas financial services leader's performance. Separately, Cullen/Frost today announced expanded executive team responsibilities to meet the demands of the growing financial institution.

Cullen/Frost reported net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $70.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share, a 16.7 percent increase over fourth quarter 2013 earnings of $60.6 million, or $.99 per diluted common share. For the fourth quarter of 2014, returns on average assets and common equity were 1.02 percent and 10.36 percent respectively, compared to 1.02 percent and 10.21 percent for the same period of 2013.

The company also reported 2014 annual net income available to common shareholders of $269.9 million, an increase of 16.8 percent compared to 2013 earnings of $231.1 million. On a per-share basis, 2014 earnings were $4.29 per diluted common share, compared to $3.80 per diluted common share reported in 2013. For the year 2014, returns on average assets and common equity were 1.05 percent and 10.51 percent respectively, compared to 1.02 percent and 9.93 percent reported in 2013.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased 15.0 percent to $212.6 million, compared to the $185.0 million reported for the same quarter of 2013. Average deposits for

the quarter rose by 17.9 percent to $23.7 billion, up $3.6 billion from the $20.1 billion reported in the fourth quarter of 2013. Average loans increased 16.7 percent to $10.9 billion compared to $9.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Cullen/Frost acquired WNB Bancshares, Inc., with loans of $670.6 million and deposits of $1.6 billion, on May 30, 2014. These loans and deposits, and the results of operations, are included in annual and quarterly comparisons from date of acquisition.

“I am very pleased to report strong quarterly and annual results for our shareholders for 2014,” said Dick Evans, Cullen/Frost chairman and CEO. “As the economy recovers, we are reaping the benefit of our consistent and focused efforts to grow the company through the downturn.

“Our double-digit increases in average loans in the quarter and for 2014 reflect our disciplined efforts to leverage the new business relationships we added during the recession,” said Evans. “This loan growth is especially positive as many companies are still proceeding cautiously in response to ongoing uncertainty. Deposit growth remained strong for 2014 with new funds coming from both new and existing customers. At the end of 2014, our assets were at an all-time high of $28.3 billion,” Evans continued. “In light of a persistently low interest rate environment, I was encouraged to see impressive growth from last year in taxable equivalent net interest income. Our capital levels remain strong.

"During the year, we completed the acquisition of WNB Bancshares, Inc., bringing Frost into the Permian Basin and strengthening our Texas franchise. Because of the similarity in culture between our companies, the process of integrating WNB into Frost has gone well, and we are introducing a range of new services to our customers in Midland and Odessa.

“The strength of the Texas economy, which once again outpaced that of the nation in 2014, continues to be a significant benefit for Frost. Texas jobs grew 3.6 percent in 2014, compared to the U.S. average of 2.1 percent.

“We are focused on the recent decline in energy prices and are in close communication with our energy-related customers. It’s still too early to know where prices will go and how long they will stay at lower levels and the impact a prolonged slump in oil prices would have on the Texas economy and our customers and credits. Nevertheless, we believe that our conservative underwriting and strong credit discipline that have served us well over our history positions us well for this challenging environment.”
During the year, Frost received further validation of its outstanding service culture and performance from well-regarded third parties. In March, Frost was named a J.D. Power Customer Champion - one of 50 U.S.

companies cited for service excellence. In January of 2014, Frost Bank received 21 Greenwich Excellence Awards for superior performance in overall client satisfaction and other relationship and service categories in small-business and middle-market banking, marking the ninth consecutive year Frost was recognized.

“I am grateful for the outstanding people here at Frost who make our results possible. With their energy, dedication and passion, they bring our culture to life. I thank them for their loyalty to our company and for taking such great care of our customers.”

Evans said the company opened two new financial centers in 2014, one each in the Houston and Dallas regions, in addition to relocating several older locations to new facilities across the state and renovating others. Frost moved its Houston region headquarters into new offices in the Boulevard complex in the Galleria area.

“Our customers rely on us to innovate, and we are delivering that with technology that makes their lives better,” continued Evans. “We added new functionality to our top-rated mobile apps for Apple and Android smart phones and introduced industry-leading debit card fraud alerts. In addition, through several branding partnerships, we have expanded our ATM network, and Frost now has one of the largest ATM networks in the regions we serve.

“Cullen/Frost has consistently brought value to our shareholders, paying and increasing our dividend for 20 consecutive years,” said Evans. “I continue to be very optimistic about our company’s future.”

For 2014, average total loans were $10.3 billion, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 11.6 percent from the $9.2 billion reported the previous year. Average total deposits for 2014 rose to $22.1 billion, up 14.5 percent, or $2.8 billion, over the $19.3 billion reported in 2013. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased to $807.9 million, up 13.7 percent over the $710.9 million reported a year earlier, reflecting the impact of the increasing volume of earning assets. Non-interest income for the year rose 5.7 percent to $320.1 million over the $302.8 million reported for 2013. For 2014, total revenue on a tax equivalent basis, increased 11.3 percent to $1.1 billion, while non-interest expense increased 7.0 percent over the previous year to $654.7 million.

Noted financial data for the fourth quarter:

Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios for the Corporation at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014 were 13.68 percent and 14.55 percent, respectively and are in excess of well-capitalized levels. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 7.39 percent at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 7.68 percent for the same quarter last year. The tangible common equity ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to end-of-period shareholders’ common equity less goodwill and intangible assets divided by end-of-period total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. Frost’s current capital levels would meet today the fully phased-in Basel III capital requirements issued by the U.S. bank regulators.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis for the fourth quarter totaled $212.6 million, an increase of 15.0 percent compared to the $185.0 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2014. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average volume of earning assets and was partly offset by a decrease in the net interest margin. The net interest margin was 3.34 percent for the fourth quarter, compared to 3.39 percent for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 3.39 percent for the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in the net interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2014 was impacted by the completion during October of the amortization of the deferred accumulated gain applicable to settled interest rate swap contracts.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $82.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 5.2 percent, from the $78.5 million reported a year earlier. Trust and investment management fees were $27.3 million, up $3.0 million or 12.5 percent compared to $24.2 million a year earlier. This increase was due to higher investment fees, combined with higher estate fees and oil and gas fees. Investment fees are generally assessed based on the market value of trust assets that are managed and held in custody. Trust assets were $30.5 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $29.0 billion at December 31, 2013.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $169.0 million, up $14.5 million or 9.4 percent from the $154.5 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2013. Salaries were up $5.7 million or 7.9 percent over the same quarter a year earlier and were impacted by an increase in the number of employees, including employees from the WNB acquisition, combined with normal annual merit and market increases. Employee benefits were down $1.5 million or 10.0 percent, primarily related to retirement plan expense, which was down $1.1 million. Net occupancy expense was up $2.3 million due to higher lease expense and building maintenance and repairs. Furniture and equipment was up $1.2 million or 8.2 percent due to software maintenance up $900,000. Other expense was up $6.0

4



million, resulting from a $2.2 million increase in advertising, marketing and communications expenses, combined with higher fraud losses of $1.4 million and other sundry losses of $1.1 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2014, the provision for loan losses was $4.4 million, compared to net charge-offs of $3.2 million. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the provision for loan losses was $5.9 million, compared to net charge offs of $6.6 million. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was .91 percent at December 31, 2014, compared to .91 percent last quarter and .97 percent at year-end 2013. Non-performing assets were $65.2 million at year-end, compared to $63.0 million the previous quarter, and $69.8 million at year-end 2013.
