| So our retention was really good in the quarter |
| The team’s doing a great job |
| And at today’s levels, we’re growing capital and we’ve got great earnings coming through the pipeline |
| Mortgage production was robust, supported by second quarter seasonality |
| And so the team’s doing a great job at growing that |
| We had another strong quarter from a loan growth standpoint with net organic growth of $1.3 billion or 16.3% annualized |
| As we look at a couple of our other highlights, our results reflect strong performance from our fee income businesses, including record quarterly insurance commission revenue of nearly $46 million |
| Our new business was good in the quarter |
| The team’s doing a great job of growing our book of business and retaining customers |
| The team’s doing a great job |
| And we got better in May and June, and that’s why you’re seeing this model and have some confidence that we’re stable |
| And I feel very good about where the pipelines are on the corporate side going forward |
| We also continue to have solid liquidity, credit, and capital metrics providing a strong foundation for our ongoing business growth |
| CRC business is continuing to perform well, and we are executing on various fronts to improve our operating efficiency |
| In summary, our results reflect a number of positives this quarter and there is a lot of momentum as we look forward |
| And impressively, insurance revenue has grown 14% compared to the second quarter of last year |
| I just want to repeat the four broad themes for the quarter that Valerie mentioned a few minutes ago, including key business development successes, stable credit quality, acceleration and funding cost, and progress toward improved operating efficiency |
| So you’ve got the upside |
| We will continue to focus on expanding our core deposit base, maintaining strong credit quality, growing our fee businesses, and taking advantage of the opportunities in front of us to improve operating efficiency |
| We reported a meaningful increase in P&C commissions driven by business growth and retention as well as upward pressure on policy pricing |
| We continue to see ability to grow that that revenue stream |
| So it was a net improvement for us on the margin and on our expense costs |
| The community bank team, as I said, has done fairly well |
| As evidenced by our quarter’s result, our balance sheet is in a great position from a liquidity standpoint |
| Are we expecting resi to be a bigger contributor in the back half of the year as well? Dan Rollins Strong growth |
| Looking at the results for the quarter, we see four broad themes, including key business development successes, stable credit quality, acceleration and funding costs and progress toward improved operating efficiency |
| In closing, I’m excited about the future of Cadence Bank |
| I believe we’re navigating this part of the cycle from a position of strength |
| We’re pleased with the overall stability of our credit quality and while there are always a handful of issues being worked on, we’ve not seen indication of specific concentration or segment concerns |
| Finally, we continue to work aggressively towards improving our operating efficiency |

| The April was the worst month of the quarter |
| This dynamic is attributable to both the continued funding of lines as well as the slowing of new unfunded originations |
| We reported net interest income of $334 million for the second quarter, a decline of approximately $21 million compared to the first quarter of 2023 |
| And then on the non-interest bearing commentary that I think April was the worst, May and June both improved |
| Our net interest margin was 3.03% for the second quarter, down 26 basis points from the linked quarter or 21 basis points, excluding the decline in accretion |
| Remember, the third quarter will drop back from second quarter |
| We will continue to fund commitments in the coming quarters, but overall, we expect the pace of loan growth to slow to an annualized mid-single-digit growth rate for the second half of the year |
| I think what we saw in the second quarter was a bit unusual for the whole industry |
| The decline in other noninterest revenue was largely due to the result of timing of elevated FBA and credit fees related activity in the first quarter that we had earlier this year |
| And to Dan’s point that we’ll likely see a little bit more in the third quarter, but that’s not what’s driving… Dan Rollins The slowness, that’s where I was going |
| Dan Rollins The whole pipeline has just slowed down |
| Of the decline, $5 million is related to lower accretion income compared to the first quarter with the remainder being driven by accelerated funding costs |
| Second quarter residential will drop back |
| Total deposits declined just over $700 million in the quarter and have declined approximately $250 million year-to-date or 1.3% annualized |
| So I think we feel like that will slow in the third quarter just from what’s in the pipeline that hasn’t closed yet now |
| Some of those could get worse, some of those could get better, but the ones that get worse from a corporate standpoint are going to be kind of lumpy |
| So I wanted to touch on loan growth, obviously, it’s slowing its back half of the year |
| So yes, it did come down a little bit |
| We had indicated that there was some decline there |
| I know the brokered deposits were down a little bit linked quarter |
