At the same time, all of our major fee-based businesses generated solid results as noninterest income, excluding a gain on the sale of non-strategic branches in the prior year, increased 30 percent. Our ability to continue to grow top-line revenue, coupled with tighter expense management, resulted in improved operating leverage Operating Leverage

 throughout the year. During the fourth quarter, our cash basis efficiency ratio improved for the fourth consecutive quarter to a record 52.57 percent."

"In addition, Compass continued to experience solid balance sheet growth. Through growth in our markets, managed loans increased 11 percent over prior year levels. Equally important was our ability to continue to grow low-cost deposits. Transaction accounts increased 10 percent over prior year levels, primarily as a result of a 12 percent increase in noninterest bearing deposits. We continue to focus on growing noninterest bearing deposits which now represent 26 percent of Compass' total deposits," Jones stated.

"At the same time, loan growth did not come at the expense of maintaining sound credit quality standards as our key credit quality ratios continued to show improvement. Nonperforming assets Nonperforming asset

 as a percentage of loans and other real estate decreased for the second consecutive quarter and from a year ago to 0.67 percent. Although net charge-offs increased from prior year levels, we remain comfortable with the overall quality of our loan portfolio. In response to the strong loan growth we have experienced and in light of current economic conditions, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans increased to 1.40 percent as provision expense exceeded net charge-offs by $25.2 million during the year. This increased our allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans to 291 percent, placing us in the upper tier of our peers in this measure." Jones said.
