SUMMARY

We give IBERIABANK a rating of Market Outperform. Our 12-month

target price is $56.67 per share, an increase of 28%, from April 14, 2008 at

a price of $44.18. We based our estimates on three different valuation

models: relative price to earnings ratio, price to book value ratio, and the

dividend discount model.

In forecasting the 12-month target price, we considered multiple economic

indicators and the firm’s corporate strategies and goals. Although the

banking industry is severely affected by current economic conditions,

IBERIABANK is better positioned in comparison to the industry average.

IBERIABANK is currently slightly liability sensitive and with falling

interest rates it enjoys increased profits from the spread on its fixed rate

loans. Additionally, IBERIABANK Corp. is not substantially invested in

construction loans, which have been a downfall for a large portion of

banks. IBERIABANK’s strict lending policy in other areas has shown

constant growth and profitability.

Ben Graham

Analysis

Ben Graham is considered the father of fundamental equity analysis. He

developed eight hurdles that can be used to assess the value and growth

potential of stocks. Based on the Ben Graham analysis the Company’s

stock is undervalued because it passes three of the first five hurdles. The

stock is not considered a growth stock because it does not pass any of the

last three hurdles. See Table 8 at the end of this report for a complete

analysis.

INVESTMENT

THESIS

Based on a 12-month target price of $56.67 per share, we assign

IBERIABANK a rating of Market Outperform. We base this rating on

the following information:

IBERIABANK is

well positioned for

the changes in

interest rates and

oil and gas prices.

Currently, as the nationwide economy heads towards a projected

recession, the Federal Reserve Board is expected to continue lowering

interest rates to stimulate the economy. The Fed Rate is likely to fall as

low as 2.25% by the end of 2008 but is expected to increase in 2009. This

change in the interest rate affects short-term rates more dramatically than

long term rates, which are market driven. IBERIABANK’s liability-

sensitive position is advantageous during this falling interest rate period;

however, it is shifting towards a neutral position in preparation for the

expected rate increase in 2009. This move will benefit IBERIABANK in

the future and the upward sloping yield curve will be advantageous to

IBERIABANK’s spread in 2008. Additionally, as oil and gas prices

continue to rise, IBERIABANK will indirectly benefit through further

deposit growth.

Hurricane

devastation creates

opportunities in the

Gulf Coast region.

While the economic conditions around the country are deteriorating,

IBERIABANK’s locations in southern Louisiana are more isolated from

these effects than other regions in the country because of opportunities that

arose after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Currently, the unemployment

rates for Louisiana are low compared to the national average. We expect

this trend to continue as businesses return to the area. Furthermore, with

estimated total rebuilding costs of $127 billion and as families in hurricane

affected regions rebuild, IBERIABANK’s loan and deposit accounts will

continue to grow.

Acquisitions in

2007 create

challenges and

opportunities for

2008.

IBERIABANK’s acquisition of Pulaski Investment Corporation

(“Pulaski”) and Pocahontas Bancorp Inc. (“Pocahontas”) created both

opportunities and challenges for the Company. These acquisitions

transferred some troubled construction loans and nonperforming assets to

IBERIABANK. Pulaski had 4.93% of its loans past due in 4Q07, thereby,

bringing IBERIABANK’s total consolidated past due loans to 1.66%.

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC) BURKENROAD REPORTS (www.burkenroad.org) April 14, 2008

This acquisition also exposed IBERIABANK to the unsteady housing and

construction environment in Arkansas. Yet, relative to its peers, the

percentage of construction and development loans within IBERIABANK’s

total loan portfolio remains significantly lower. Despite these difficulties,

IBERIABANK continues to take aggressive action to remedy the situation

for 2008. The effects of this effort to resolve bad loans will result in an

overall growth in IBERIABANK’s earnings. Furthermore, the Pulaski

acquisition created an increase in non-interest income, shielding more of

IBERIABANK’s revenue from the deteriorating economic environment.

IBERIABANK is

sheltered from sub-

prime default

threats.

Prior to the Pulaski and Pocahontas acquisitions, IBERIABANK had no

exposure to sub-prime loans because of the Company’s strict lending

policy. However, with these acquisitions, IBERIABANK assumed a

higher level of marginal construction loans that it has worked diligently to

remove from the Company’s portfolio. Therefore, the Company is well

guarded from the threat of default on sub-prime loans during the poor

economic conditions in 2008.

Experienced

management

provides strategic

direction and

consistent returns.

An experienced management team continues to provide IBERIABANK

with strategic direction and consistent shareholder returns. IBERIABANK

avoids entering saturated markets. Management seeks expansion areas

with minimal banking presence and exploits opportunities in those regions.

In this way, IBERIABANK delivers personalized service and develops

relationships with its customers. This aspect coupled with

IBERIABANK’s ability to diversify product-wise and geographically,

contributes to IBERIABANK’s success and higher shareholder returns.

Earnings are

expected to rise in

2008.

IBERIABANK’s earnings are up 13% from 4Q06 to 4Q07. Deposits also

increased 1% and loans rose 4% in 4Q07 relative to the 3Q07 quarter.

Additionally, IBERIABANK’s shareholders have continued to receive an

annual increase in EPS of 9% over the past seven years. We expect these

increasing trends to continue. IBERIABANK’s stock price has gone up by

16% since 2003; however, its stock price fell by 20% between 4Q06 and

4Q07. This decrease in price can partly be attributed to the economic

slowdown and a bearish market. Yet IBERIABANK is well positioned for

2008. This outlook, accompanied with an expected rise in earnings, will be

reflected in the future stock price.

VALUATION Our twelve month target price of $56.67 was determined via three

different valuation methods: relative price to earnings ratio, price to book

value ratio, and DDM (see Table 2 below for further details).

Relative P/E The price/earnings per share method averages the current price/earnings

ratio for the Company’s peers and multiplies it by forecasted earnings per

share to project future stock prices. This relative valuation model relates

IBERIABANK to its peers and forecasts earnings. Therefore, we gave it a

weight of 50% for a target price of $50.60.

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC) BURKENROAD REPORTS (www.burkenroad.org) April 14, 2008

Relative Price/BV The price/book value method uses IBERIABANK’s forecasted book value

per share and relates it to the Company’s peers’ P/BV ratio. We found this

to be another tool that relates IBERIABANK’s future value to that of its

competitors. We gave it a weight of 30% for a target price of $60.60.

Dividend Discount

Model

The dividend discount model uses forecasted dividends and discounts

them to the present period. We found that IBERIABANK’s price per share

was most accurately projected through the dividend discount model.

Therefore, we gave it a weight of 20% for a target price of $65.94.

INDUSTRY

ANALYSIS

IBERIABANK Corporation operates in a competitive environment with

approximately 50 other banks positioned in the southeast area of the

United States. IBERIABANK primarily operates as a holding company

and has a thrift, also known as a savings and loan institution, as one of its

subsidiaries. The three main advantages of using a holding company

structure are an improvement in economies of scale, greater access to

capital, and the ability to spread gains—as well as losses—across each of

the holding company’s subsidiaries. Furthermore, through holding

companies, banks are able to enter and compete in different industry

segments through mergers and acquisitions. In addition to its status as a

holding company, IBERIABANK functions as a commercial bank with its

primary sources of revenues coming from the ability to grow deposits and

issue loans.

Most Influential

Macroeconomic

Factors

Among the most influential economic factors affecting the banking

industry is the Federal Funds Rate, the rate banks charge one another to

borrow funds overnight. The difference between this rate and the rate

banks charge customers is known as the spread and is where a bank can

make profits. The banking industry as a whole started slowing down in

August 2007 when the Federal Reserve began lowering interest rates.

However, the consequences of rate fluctuations on individual banks

depend upon whether the bank is asset or liability sensitive. Liability-

sensitive banks typically hold long-term assets and short-term liabilities.

When interest rates fall, liabilities cost less and asset values do not

decrease drastically. Therefore, liability-sensitive banks, like

IBERIABANK, benefit from falling interest rates.

Credit risk is also among the top economic factors influencing the banking

industry and can pose the most significant risk to a bank’s overall

performance. During an economic boom, banks tend to make loans to less

desirable candidates, known as sub-prime loans. The majority of sub-

prime loans are mortgage loans. When the economy slows down,

borrowers are more likely to default on the sub-prime loans, and

consequently, will increase a bank’s loan losses. IBERIABANK is well

positioned for the ensuing recession because it has no exposure to the sub-

prime loan division.

Currently, there is a dramatic excess of houses on the market. As a result

of the housing market downturn, commercial developers have difficulty

making payments to banks on their construction loans. Hence, banks with

a large percentage of their portfolio consisting of commercial construction

loans experience significant losses. IBERIABANK has relatively low

construction exposure within its portfolio.

The receding market also impacts consumer spending, which results in

fewer consumer loans. Economic forecasts predict that unemployment will

increase in 2008. The prolonged housing slump, rising gas prices, and

consumer sentiment about the slowing economy also greatly impact

consumer spending. As a result, bank revenues across the industry will

experience declines.

Competitive

Environment

The banking industry is an extremely competitive environment with many

barriers to entry. In addition to the strict regulatory environment imposed

by the Federal Reserve, a large amount of capital and a large customer

base are required to create a bank. In Louisiana, no bank holds more than

25% of the market share, and smaller regional banks compete with some

of the larger national banks. Furthermore, the industry is entering a period

of consolidation in which many banks are expanding through the

acquisition of smaller regional banks.

Within the industry, a bank’s customers function as the buyers and the

depositors; the credit market and the central bank, constitute the suppliers.

The buyers have little bargaining power, which is limited to their ability to

use another bank for similar products. The depositors as suppliers have no

bargaining power and must accept the interest rate or price the bank is

willing to pay. Similarly, the credit market and the central bank have

limited bargaining power because the product supplied, money, is

unlimited.

Banks find it difficult to compete based on prices. A bank loses customers

to competition by increasing interest rates as a means of improving profit

margins and because there is wide availability of comparable products.

Therefore, banks create a competitive advantage through diversification of

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC) BURKENROAD REPORTS (www.burkenroad.org) April 14, 2008

7

their product lines, innovative technology, and improved customer service.

Through its acquisitions over the past several years, IBERIABANK has

expanded the products and services it offers to customers.

Hurricane Katrina

and Hurricane Rita

Two and a half years after the storms, the banking industry in the Gulf

Coast region is still feeling the effects of the 2005 hurricane season.

Building loans for customers in the affected region continue to provide a

significant source of revenues. The Gulf Coast is also experiencing a

steady increase in population as people return to the area. This population

increase, accompanied by lower unemployment and a higher per capita

income, provides an advantage to banks along the Gulf Coast.

COMPANY

DESCRIPTION

IBERIABANK Corporation’s relationship-based approach to banking

began 121 years ago and gives the Company a strong foundation for

tomorrow.

History, Locations,

and Facilities

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC/NASDAQ) began its 121 year

history with the formation of Iberia Building Association, the first lending

institution in New Iberia, Louisiana, in 1887. At that time, Iberia Building

Association aimed at helping the working class purchase homes.

The Company remained relatively quiet until the 1980s when it entered a

period of acquisition and expansion that continues today. As the

Company’s operations began to evolve, so did its name. The renamed

Iberia Savings Bank acquired Acadia Savings & Loan in 1989 to build

deposit accounts, diversify product lines, and widen its customer base.

With this acquisition and the many that followed, Iberia Savings Bank was

able to open more branches throughout Acadia and Lafayette Parishes.

When Iberia Savings Bank demutualized and began issuing public stock in

1995, ISB Financial was created as its holding company. Its current

moniker, IBERIABANK, was adopted in 1997. From the Company’s

headquarters in Lafayette, IBERIABANK operates fifty branches in the

Acadiana region, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and northern Louisiana.

Additionally, the recent acquisitions of Pulaski Investment Corporation,

the holding company for Pulaski Mortgage Company and Lenders Trust,

Pulaski Bank and Trust, and Pocahontas Bancorp., the holding company

for First Community Bank, expanded the bank’s presence into Arkansas,

Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas and allowed IBERIABANK

to enter title insurance and trust management sectors. IBERIABANK

Corporation currently has approximately 150 combined offices with over

1400 employees.

Products IBERIABANK transformed from a small company providing mortgages to

farming communities into a fully inclusive commercial bank for private

and commercial clients. IBERIABANK offers a wide array of deposit and

lending products and services. These include checking and savings

accounts, commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans, brokerage and

insurance services, credit cards, online banking, and a variety of

investment vehicles. Many of these investment products are available

through Iberia Financial Services, a subsidiary of IBERIABANK.

Figures 3 and 4 indicate the composition of IBERIABANK’s deposits and

loan portfolios. According to these charts, certificates of deposit make up

the majority of the Company’s deposits. Additonally, the commericial loan

segment is the largest in IBERIABANK’s loan portfolio.

Strategy Over three decades of acquisition and expansion, IBERIABANK has

broadened its presence throughout much of Louisiana and the surrounding

area. This steady expansion helps IBERIABANK accomplish its mission

to provide exceptional value-based client service. More convenient

locations allow the Company to better serve its client base—the backbone

of its corporate strategy.

This corporate strategy hinges on exceptional customer service and the

ability to exceed clients’ expectations. The relationship-based approach

relies on local decision making and proximity to the client. IBERIABANK

delivers fast results, allowing the client more time for the things that

matter most in life. In addition to a comprehensive financial product line,

IBERIABANK offers customized products and services that are tailored to

fit individual client needs. More importantly, IBERIABANK’s long-term

strategy is to improve profitability and reduce risk. The ultimate goal of

this strategy is to increase the stock price by showing consistently

increasing earnings.

Finally, IBERIABANK also focuses its strategy towards gaining market

share in Louisiana and entering new markets. It continually strives for

growth that is consistent with high performance. The Company plans to

accomplish its goal through continued expansion via acquisitions and the

development of its new branches while still maintaining its focus on the

importance of building and maintaining client relationships. This strategy

keeps shareholders’ interests in mind.

Competitors IBERIABANK is ranked fifth in market share among 160 institutions in

Louisiana. The bank holds the number one market share in the Acadiana

region, specifically in Lafayette and Iberia. IBERIABANK also has the

second largest market share in the northeastern region of Louisiana. As a

member of the banking, lending, and insurance industries,

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC) BURKENROAD REPORTS (www.burkenroad.org) April 14, 2008

IBERIABANK's top competitors are JPMorgan Chase & Company and

MidSouth Bancorp Inc. Other regional competitors include Capital One

Financial Corporation, GS Financial Corp., Hancock Holding Company,

Teche Holding Company, and Whitney Holding Corp.

Latest

Developments

Although the end of 2007 witnessed an uncooperative interest rate

environment, IBERIABANK was able to continue its project of expansion

through acquisitions and new branch development.

In February 2007, IBERIABANK completed the acquisitions of Pulaski

Investments Corp., the holding company for Pulaski Mortgage Company

and Lenders Trust, for $130.8 million and Pocahontas Bancorp Inc., the

holding company for First Community Bank, for $75.4 million. In April

2007, Pulaski Bank merged with First Community Bank to become

“Pulaski Bank and Trust Company,” a federal stock savings bank

headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas.

These acquisitions give IBERIABANK exceptional opportunities for

growth. IBERIABANK has diversified its operations by acquiring high-

quality credit card operations and the largest independent title insurance in

Arkansas and Louisiana. Moreover, the acquisitions allow IBERIABANK

to cater to a broad customer base because different industries drive each

state’s economy: Louisiana’s economy is based on oil, natural gas, and

fishing, while Arkansas’ economy excels in manufacturing, food products,

and electrical equipment. A positive impact of these acquisitions is

reflected in IBERIABANK’s rise in quarterly earnings, which can be

attributed in great part to solid loan and deposit growth in the new

branches.

Additionally, IBERIABANK is following up on its largest branch

expansion, which began in 2005. In a 15-month period, the Company

opened 14 new branches in Baton Rouge, Houma, Elmwood, LaPlace,

Prairieville, Slidell, Covington, Broussard, Monroe, and New Orleans,

Louisiana. The main goal is to continue to help clients rebuild their homes

and businesses after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Louisiana population

is increasing as people return after the hurricanes; in 2007, the state gained

50,000 new residents. The population rebound will help the bank

accomplish its growth strategy through geographic expansion and client

growth.

MANAGEMENT

PERFORMANCE

AND

BACKGROUND

IBERIABANK completed a significant overhaul of its senior management

team in the late 1990s. The new team is characterized by noteworthy

banking understanding that persisted through the challenges of the

Louisiana energy crisis in the 1980s. As IBERIABANK continues its rapid

expansion, management's experience is expected to lead the bank in a

promising way.

Return on average equity is a measure of how well management is

performing. The average peer ROE is an average of the Company’s three

main competitors, Whitney Bank, Teche Holdings, and MidSouth

Bancorp. In comparison to its peers, IBERIABANK has performed below

its peers.

since 1999 when he entered as chief strategic planning officer. Before

joining IBERIABANK’s team, he held a similar position in Crestar

Financial in Richmond, Virginia. He also worked from 1993 to 1997 as

senior vice president of First Commerce Corporation in New Orleans.

Michael A. Naquin Senior Executive Vice President (46)

Mr. Naquin has served IBERIABANK since 2004. He serves as senior

executive vice president for each of the banks and is the director of retail,

facilities, and treasury management. Prior to joining IBERIABANK, he

held different senior roles at Bank One, including commercial banking

manager for Arizona and California from 2002 to 2004.

Management

Incentives

IBERIABANK maintains a performance-based compensation program for

its senior executive officers. This is to ensure that the financial interests of

the management and shareholders are aligned. The performance is

measured by an independent consultant and management is rewarded

accordingly. For the quarter ending December 31, 2007, management did

not receive an annual bonus, primarily as a result of the overall poor

performance in the banking industry and management’s not reaching all of

its set goals for the period.

Board of Directors IBERIABANK’s board of directors comprises a well rounded group of

individuals, most of whom are independent of the Company. The chairman

of the board is William H. Fenstermaker, who is also the chairman and

chief executive officer of F. H. Fenstermaker and Associates Incorporated.

Additionally, the board includes a lawyer, a CPA, multiple other company

presidents, vice presidents, and CEOs. Daryl G. Byrd, president and CEO

of IBERIABANK Corporation and IBERIABANK, and Pulaski Bank sits

on the board as well.

INVESTMENT

RISKS

IBERIABANK is exposed to different risks because of the nature of its

operations. It faces financial risks related to credit and interest rate risks as

well as regulation risks in the industry.

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC) BURKENROAD REPORTS (www.burkenroad.org) April 14, 2008

15

Operational Risks Asset Quality and Loan Losses: IBERIABANK has conservative loan

charge-off and nonaccrual guidelines that have protected the Company

from large loan losses and from increases in nonperforming assets. The

Company also adjusts its allowance for loan losses quarterly to account for

credit losses and changes in the mix of performing loans. These

procedures look at two factors. First, they look at troubled credit loans

within the portfolio. Secondly, they compare the mix of risky and risk-

averse performing loans. Management then uses these procedures to

calculate the net allowance change needed. Current market conditions

have forced IBERIABANK to increase its allowance for loan losses as the

housing slump extends to northwest Arkansas, Memphis, and north

Mississippi.

Fraud Risk: IBERIABANK is exposed to fraud risk by both employees

and people outside the Company. Management regularly reviews and

updates internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and

corporate governance policies and procedures.

Environmental Risk: IBERIABANK operates in an area prone to

environmental disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and tropical storms.

These events may positively or negatively affect the operations of the

Company, considering it is highly sensitive to local economies and such

events may cause changes in demographics.

Acquisition Risk: IBERIABANK is constantly seeking opportunities to

expand through the acquisition of companies that match its interests. To do

so, the Company must obtain regulatory approval, which may require it to

close branches to meet requirements. Additionally, IBERIABANK may

not always realize the expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases

in geographic or product presence, or other projected benefits from an

acquisition because of difficulties integrating the acquired company.

Financial Risks Credit Risk: IBERIABANK has a predetermined set of requirements for

comparing risk and reward when lending money. This thorough evaluation

has lead to a significant decrease in nonperforming loans over the past five

years. Additionally, IBERIABANK takes advantage of its relatively

smaller size by monitoring its loan progress carefully.

Interest Rate Risk: The continued decrease in the Federal Funds rate

from 5.25% on January 30, 2007 to 3.00% on January 30, 2008 has not

posed a significant problem for IBERIABANK. The Company’s liability-

sensitive balance sheet aided its performance in recent quarters.

Additionally, an adaptive plan using interest rate swap contracts is used to

hedge risk in the event of fluctuations in interest rates.

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC) BURKENROAD REPORTS (www.burkenroad.org) April 14, 2008

Regulations The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve

regulate the banking industry, and the Office of Thrift Supervision

regulates the thrift industry. New regulations are common in the banking

industry and include such regulations as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

This act specifies that top executives are personally responsible for the

accuracy and timeliness of their company’s financial data. Furthermore, it

adds an increased stress on upper management and additional accounting

and information technology costs. These regulations are mandated by the

government with the possibility of an investigation, hefty fines, or even

being shut down if banks do not comply.

FINANCIAL

PERFORMANCE

AND

PROJECTIONS

When preparing our valuation, we made several assumptions about the

industry and the future economic environment. Additional assumptions

were made based on relevant historical trends that we believe provide a

more accurate forecast.

Interest rates to

decrease in 2008,

banks benefit.

The Federal Reserve is expected to continue lowering interest rates

throughout 2008. Based on this information, IBERIABANK will continue

to benefit from the decreasing interest rate because of its liability-sensitive

position. The falling interest rates also caused the yield curve to shift to a

more favorable position for the banking industry. This change allows for

an increase in IBERIABANK’s spread.

The

macroeconomic

outlook is

favorable.

While the majority of the United States experienced a decline in market

stability in the beginning of 2008, the Gulf Coast region prospered and

continued with remarkable growth. We expect this trend to carry on

throughout 2008 and into future years. Another trend we anticipate to

continue is the increase in crude oil prices. Both trends will benefit

IBERIABANK’s earnings.

Interest rates and

the economic

environment are

key revenue

drivers.

Several key revenue drivers for IBERIABANK include interest rates, the

yield curve, and the overall economic environment of the Gulf Coast

region. To develop forecasts for the economic environment, we used

historical data on population, per capita income, unemployment, and the

consumer price index from the FDIC website.

SITE VISIT Our team had the opportunity to visit IBERIABANK’s downtown New

Orleans location in February 2008. At this visit, we spoke with Anthony

Restel, the senior executive vice president, chief credit officer, and CFO.

We discussed the current economic situations and how IBERIABANK is

positioning itself for the future. Specifically, Mr. Restel spoke of how

IBERIABANK is beginning to shift from a liability-sensitive to a neutral

position in order to prepare for the future rate changes. He also mentioned

that IBERIABANK will benefit from the rising oil and natural gas prices

because the Company is an indirect beneficiary of that industry.

IBERIABANK Corporation (IBKC) BURKENROAD REPORTS (www.burkenroad.org) April 14, 2008

17

Additionally, when questioned about his opinion on the Pocahontas and

Pulaski acquisitions, Mr. Restel recognized that although there are current

difficulties in the transition period, the acquisitions will prove to be

beneficial to the shareholders in the long run. The Company is taking

aggressive action to remedy the problems caused by the construction loans

obtained through the Pulaski acquisition.

We found the meeting informative, and it was a great opportunity to get an

inside perspective of IBERIABANK’s strategy and operations.

SOURCES OF

INFORMATION

We based our research on several different sources. The foundation of our

report is based on IBERIABANK’s financial reports and press releases. In

addition, we obtained valuable information from Mr. Anthony Restel,

IBERIABANK’s CFO, during our site visit, and from Mr. John Davis,

investor relations, during three conference calls we arranged.

We also spoke with the CEO of a similar regional bank. He talked about

the current situation in the banking industry and provided guidance on

how to analyze a bank’s financial statements. Based on this information,

we looked at different government and state databases, particularly at the

Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, to prepare our forecasts. Finally, we

reinforced our research by consulting Yahoo! Finance, InvestextPlus,

Hoovers, and Bloomberg.
