The Board of Directors of Whitney Holding Corp. declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.01 per common share payable on April 1, 2010 to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2010.

Whitney Holding Corp. announced earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009. The company reported net income of $318,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to a net loss of $30.0 million for the third quarter of 2009. Including dividends on preferred stock, the loss to common shareholders was $3.75 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to a loss of $34.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009. The company earned $8.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. Net interest income (TE) for the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 1.3%, or $1.4 million, compared to the third quarter of 2009. Although average earning assets were down slightly between these periods, the net interest margin (TE) improved 9 basis points to 4.20% from 4.11%, reflecting mainly a further reduction in the cost of funds. Funding costs benefited from the maturity or renewal in the current low interest rate environment of higher-cost certificates of deposit from a 2008 campaign as well as rate reductions on deposits from a special money market campaign earlier in 2009. For the quarter, the company reported return on average assets of 0.01% and negative return on average common equity of 1.01% compared with negative return on average assets of 1.11% and return on average common equity of 1.11% for the same period a year ago. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the net loss to common shareholders totaled $78.4 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, compared with earnings to common shareholders in 2008 of $58.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. For the full year, the company reported net interest income of $443,432,000 compared with $455,645,000 for the same period a year ago. Book value per share of $14.37 compared with $18.29. Tangible book value per share of $9.71 compared with $11.48. Negative return on average assets of 0.52% and negative return on average common equity of 6.28% compared with return on average assets of 0.53% and return on average common equity of 4.77% for the same period a year ago.
