How did BB&T's loan portfolio perform in the second quarter of 2004?

BB&T's loan portfolio showed strong growth, increasing by 23.0% to $66.9 billion in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. This growth was driven by increases across commercial, consumer, and mortgage loan categories. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, internal loan growth was approximately 7.6% year-over-year, representing the strongest internal quarterly growth rate since 2000.

What was the impact of acquisitions on BB&T's financial results?

BB&T completed several significant acquisitions, including Republic Bancshares Inc. and McGriff, Seibels & Williams Inc., during the reporting period and the preceding year. These acquisitions contributed to the growth in total assets, loans, deposits, and noninterest income, particularly in insurance services. While these acquisitions boosted overall financial figures, the company also incurred merger-related and restructuring charges.

How did BB&T's net interest margin perform, and what factors influenced it?

BB&T's net interest margin slightly decreased to 4.02% in the second quarter of 2004 from 4.06% in the same period of 2003. This compression was attributed to several factors, including the reinvestment of maturing securities into lower-yielding assets, the impact of a stock buyback program, and premium amortization from acquisitions. However, these were partially offset by a balance sheet restructuring completed in 2003 and the retention of mortgage loans.

What is the outlook for BB&T's asset quality?

BB&T reported a significant improvement in asset quality. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and leases plus foreclosed property decreased to 0.62% at June 30, 2004, down from 0.72% at year-end 2003. Net charge-offs also declined both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. Management indicated that credit quality has steadily improved over the last five quarters.
