as compared to the fourth quarter of 2004.

end of 2004, the second consecutive quarter of double-digit percentage
growth in comparable-period demand deposits.
- The continued growth of net interest revenue, which, on a
comparable-quarter basis, increased 10.3 percent for the fourth quarter
of 2005, 6.6 percent for the third quarter, 4.8 percent for the second
quarter and 4.4 percent for the first quarter.

- The opening of loan production offices in Fayetteville, Arkansas and
Gulf Shores, Alabama, further building BancorpSouth's presence in

Fourth-Quarter 2005 Summary Results
For the fourth quarter of 2005, BancorpSouth's net income increased 41.5
percent to $34.8 million from $24.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2004.
Net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $0.44, up 37.5
percent from $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2004.
The Company's results for the fourth quarter of 2005 included a net
positive impact of $0.07 per diluted share, related to Hurricane Katrina. The
net positive impact consisted of a $2.8 million reduction in the Company's
previous provision for credit losses related to the hurricane and a $6.9
million gain from insurance proceeds relating to the hurricane, offset by lost
non-interest revenue of approximately $415,000, primarily from the Company's
waiver of certain fees and service charges for customers in the affected area.
In addition, the fourth quarter of 2005 results included the positive impact
of $0.01 per diluted share related to a $761,000 reversal of previous
impairment of the Company's mortgage servicing asset ("MSA") and $10,000 of
net securities gains. Results for the fourth quarter of 2004 included the net
negative impact of $0.01 per diluted share related to a $305,000 reversal of a
previously recorded charge for impairment of the Company's MSA and $1.5
million of net securities losses.
Excluding the impact of Hurricane Katrina, changes in the valuation of the
MSA and net securities gains or losses, the Company's net income increased
13.1 percent to $28.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 from $25.3
million for the fourth quarter of 2004. Net income per diluted share rose 9.1
percent to $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2005 from $0.33 for the fourth
quarter of 2004. Please see page 15 of this press release for reconciliation
of GAAP and non-GAAP results.
2005 Summary Results
BancorpSouth's net income for 2005 rose 4.1 percent to $115.2 million, or
$1.47 per diluted share, from $110.6 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, for
2004. Excluding the impact of Hurricane Katrina, changes in the valuation of
the MSA and net securities gains or losses, net income for 2005 increased 6.4
percent to $114.7 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, from $107.9 million, or
$1.38 per diluted share, for 2004. Please see page 15 of this press release
for reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results.
Aubrey Patterson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BancorpSouth,
remarked, "Our financial and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2005
and throughout the year have demonstrated the results of steady improvement in
our markets. Even with the impact of Hurricane Katrina on loan demand in the
second half of 2005, growth in key measures of our traditional banking
business, such as interest revenue and net interest revenue, continued in each
quarter of the year, and we completed 2005 with stronger credit quality and an
improved net interest margin than at the end of 2004. As a result,
BancorpSouth is well positioned to benefit from significant organic and
acquisition-related growth opportunities throughout its six-state franchise
and in contiguous markets, as well as from the unprecedented rebuilding
efforts along the Gulf Coast."
Net Interest Revenue
Interest revenue for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased 18.8 percent, or
$23.7 million, to $150.0 million from $126.3 million for the fourth quarter of
2004 and 5.8 percent from $141.8 million for the third quarter of 2005.
Interest expense increased 35.6 percent, or $15.1 million, to $57.7 million
for the fourth quarter of 2005 from $42.6 million for the fourth quarter of
2004 and 8.2 percent from $53.3 million for the third quarter of 2005.
The average taxable equivalent yield on earning assets increased to 5.86
percent for the fourth quarter of 2005 from 5.25 percent for the fourth
quarter of 2004 and 5.74 percent for the third quarter of 2005. The average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 2.69 percent for the fourth
quarter of 2005, compared with 2.07 percent for the fourth quarter of 2004 and
2.54 percent for the third quarter of 2005.
Net interest revenue increased 10.3 percent to $92.3 million for the
fourth quarter of 2005 from $83.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 and
4.3 percent from $88.4 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net interest
margin was 3.64 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with 3.51
percent for the fourth quarter of 2004 and 3.61 percent for the third quarter
of 2005.
Patterson continued, "The double-digit increase in net interest revenue
for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004
reflected our continuing trend of accelerating growth. In addition to
reflecting the expansion of our loan portfolio, this growth was driven by our
continuous efforts to optimize our asset/liability mix during a challenging
interest rate environment. As throughout 2005, asset yields improved for the
quarter as we priced new loans in a rising rate environment and invested
maturing securities in either higher-rate loans or short-term investments.
Although the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities also rose for
the quarter, the increase was mitigated by our continuing strategy of funding
loan growth partially through lower cost demand deposits rather than higher
cost liabilities."
Deposit and Loan Activity
Total assets at December 31, 2005, increased 8.5 percent to $11.8 billion
from $10.8 billion at December 31, 2004. Total deposits grew 6.1 percent to
$9.6 billion at December 31, 2005, from $9.1 billion at December 31, 2004.
Loans and leases, net of unearned interest, increased 7.8 percent to $7.4
billion at December 31, 2005, from $6.8 billion at December 31, 2004.
"Our loan growth on both a comparable- and sequential-quarter basis for
the fourth quarter of 2005, even with the disruption to the Mississippi Gulf
Coast market, reflected continued economic expansion, as well as the strategic
benefits of our geographically diverse markets," added Patterson. "Our
fourth-quarter results also benefited from the strengthening of this
geographic diversity through our acquisitions over the last 12 months in
Brentwood, Tennessee, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Jonesboro, Arkansas. We
expect our new loan production offices opened in Fayetteville, Arkansas and
Gulf Shores, Alabama will further contribute to expanding our markets for
loans. Continuing trends that were evident throughout 2005, our deposit
growth for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with the fourth quarter of 2004
was driven by a 24.7 percent increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits
and a 7.6 percent increase in interest bearing demand deposits. Time deposits
at the end of 2005 remained stable compared to the end of 2004, as we
continued to balance the needs of our core deposit relationships and our
asset/liability management strategy."
Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2005 declined
61.3 percent to $2.0 million from $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2004
and 86.6 percent from $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2005. As
previously noted, the $10.4 million provision for credit losses in the third
quarter of 2005 relating to the impact of Hurricane Katrina was reduced by
$2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 as contacts with many customers
have been re-established and losses related to loans in the impacted area are
not expected to be as great as originally anticipated in September immediately
following the hurricane. Excluding this reduction, the provision for credit
losses declined 6.2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005 from the fourth
quarter of 2004. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.16 percent of average
loans and leases for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with 0.32 percent for
the fourth quarter of 2004 and 0.27 percent for the third quarter of 2005.
Non-performing loans and leases fell 15.3 percent to $28.8 million, or
0.39 percent of loans and leases, at December 31, 2005, from $34.0 million, or
0.50 percent of loans and leases, at December 31, 2004, while increasing 20.6
percent from $23.9 million, or 0.34 percent of loans and leases, at September
30, 2005. The allowance for credit losses increased to 1.38 percent of loans
and leases at December 31, 2005, from 1.34 percent of loans and leases at
December 31, 2004 and declined from 1.43 percent of loans and leases at
September 30, 2005.
Patterson said, "During the fourth quarter of 2005, we were pleased to
reduce a portion of our third-quarter provision for credit losses related to
Hurricane Katrina after a careful review of our exposure in the affected area.
Although the aggregate impact of the storm on our financial condition and
results of operation may not be known for some time, we are encouraged that
our loss exposure appears less than originally estimated. Because of payment
date extensions to customers as part of our hurricane-relief efforts, none of
the loans associated with our hurricane-related provision for credit losses
are included in non-performing loans and leases at year end or annualized
charge-offs for the quarter. Nonetheless, we remain confident of our high
credit quality, as nonperforming loans and leases declined on a
comparable-quarter basis for the eighth consecutive quarter and reserve
coverage, or allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans and leases,
was 350 percent at the end of 2005."
Noninterest Revenue
Noninterest revenue increased 22.8 percent to $53.7 million for the fourth
quarter of 2005 compared with $43.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2004.
As discussed above, noninterest revenue for the fourth quarter of 2005
included a net positive impact of $7.2 million, consisting of
hurricane-related insurance proceeds, the recovery of a previously recorded
impairment of the MSA and net securities gains, offset by lost noninterest
revenue related to hurricane relief. Noninterest revenue for the fourth
quarter of 2004 included a net negative impact of $1.2 million, consisting of
a reversal of a previously recorded charge for impairment of the Company's MSA
and net securities losses. Excluding these items, noninterest revenue
increased 3.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005 from the fourth quarter
of 2004.
"Our noninterest revenue for the fourth quarter reflected the continuing
and anticipated impact of a rising interest rate environment on our mortgage
business, as well as reduced insurance commission revenues resulting from
Hurricane Katrina," Patterson stated. "The hurricane primarily affected one
of our three insurance agencies, which operates in the Mississippi Gulf Coast
region, and was the major contributor to a reduction in insurance commission
growth for the second half of 2005 to 2.1 percent over the second half of
2004, compared with 9.6 percent growth for the first half of 2005 over the
same period in 2004. We are confident of the long-term growth potential our
insurance business represents, and we remain fully committed to our strategy
of building noninterest revenues both to provide more comprehensive services
to our customers and to reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate risk."
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased 5.0 percent to $92.3 million for the fourth
quarter of 2005 from $87.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 and
increased 3.1 percent from $89.5 million for the third quarter of 2005. The
growth in noninterest expense primarily resulted from additional salaries and
employee benefits associated with the acquisitions of three banks since late
December 2004 and increased occupancy costs from opening new offices during
2005.
Capital Management
BancorpSouth repurchased 219,100 shares of its common stock during the
fourth quarter of 2005 under the stock repurchase plan authorized in April
2005 for the repurchase of up to 3 million shares. With 340,500 shares
repurchased under this plan through the end of 2005 combined with the shares
repurchased under earlier plans, BancorpSouth had repurchased approximately
10.9 million shares of its common stock as of December 31, 2005, or
approximately 13 percent of the shares outstanding when the original share
repurchase program was initiated in 2001. BancorpSouth will continue to
evaluate additional share repurchases under the April 2005 plan, which
authorizes these repurchases during a two-year period expiring April 30, 2007.
Summary
Patterson said, "We are encouraged by the improving environment for our
traditional banking business during 2005, which we have further supported
through our strategies for organic growth and acquisition. In addition, we
remain confident that BancorpSouth is uniquely positioned in its markets
because of its focus on providing high quality, community bank-style service
to its consumer and small to mid-sized business customers, backed by the
sophisticated and comprehensive product lines and infrastructure of a large
regional bank.
"The strength of the Company's people and the depth of their involvement
in their communities have been especially evident since the disaster created
by Hurricane Katrina. We expect BancorpSouth to be deeply involved in helping
to rebuild and renew the Gulf Coast. Both our new loan production office in
Gulf Shores, Alabama and our recent approval for a new full-service branch
office in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi are tangible evidence of this commitment.
Because of the combination of our outstanding team, the growth opportunities
within and contiguous to our six-state franchise, our high credit quality and
our financial strength, BancorpSouth enters 2006 with undiminished prospects
for long-term growth."

(a)GAAP is the acronym for generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States.
(b)BancorpSouth, Inc. believes its calculation of adjusted earnings per
diluted share provides a better measure of the
Company's ongoing performance and provides better comparability to
prior periods because it excludes volatile
non-cash items, the impact on earnings related to Hurricane Katrina and
the impact of securities gains or losses.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be considered as a
measure of financial performance under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, and the items
excluded from it are significant components in
understanding and assessing financial performance. Because adjusted
earnings per diluted share is not a
measurement determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States and is, therefore,
susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable as
presented to other similarly titled measures of
other companies.
