| Breaking down, net interest income, loan interest income increased over $9 million on a linked quarter basis driven by another quarter of solid loan growth coupled with a 15 basis point increase to our loan yields |
| I am pleased with our quarterly results that show solid loan growth, good asset quality, an increase in core deposits, and expense control |
| We have an outstanding team that has worked diligently to preserve and even grow our core deposit base |
| And, you know, we believe that as you look forward in the banking industry, we think that there's, you know, a growing likelihood in the, you know, year ahead or so that we could see more depository opportunities, and we remain open to those and, you know, feel like on the right terms, those could be attractive for our shareholders |
| The markets in which we operate have remained generally resilient and are benefiting from net in migration and economic expansion |
| We are well positioned in some of the best markets in the South and we'll continue our efforts to add to this presence |
| Renasant's solid financial footing should allow us to take advantage of opportunities that will emerge |
| Another 13% in commercial credits greater than 2.5, which would include C&I, owner-occupied, commercial real estate, and then that remaining 33% in our corporate banking group, larger C&I, commercial real estate, ABL, equipment finance, factoring operation, we've been very pleased with |
| So we definitely benefit from that |
| Another 28% and we're very proud of this, and we've had a lot of success here in the past, is in small business and business banking, and that credits less than $2.5 million |
| The balance sheet has steadily strengthened in 2023 |
| I am very proud of our team and the efforts made to produce the results so far in 2023 |
| Our capital markets, treasury solutions, wealth management, and insurance lines of businesses continued to deliver solid results |
| The diversification within our revenue streams and expense control were positives in the quarter |
| I do want to see it in the numbers, but I think we're very proud of how we've grown deposits here in the last, you know, couple of quarters |
| And as you can see on slides six and seven, the company's core deposit base and overall liquidity position remain strong |
| As it relates to, you know, looking forward to '24, we see some really encouraging signs, Catherine |
| We believe like that we're at a very good loan of value position on that asset by virtue, and they're taking that asset marked for sale, but we're at a really good asset position |
| Finally, we are excited to now be a part of the New York Stock Exchange, which we believe provides greater visibility for our company and our shareholders |
| So we believe we're in good value position on those two |
| But with that said, we remain optimistic about our ability going forward in this next quarter |
| And, you know, as you saw in the numbers this quarter, we had really good growth, and it was very diverse and across all geographies |
| With that said, we operate in some very good vibrant, and as I mentioned in the opening comments, resilient markets |
| The growth has been, you know, frankly a little bit stronger than what we've seen from, you know, many of your peers and kind of across the industry |
| In closing, our Renasant team wishes for Sally Pope Davis the very best in her upcoming retirement |
| Plus, the greater benefit as we see, we certainly want that income statement benefit, but what we really like is just, you know, having a balance sheet that here, at some point in the next few quarters has virtually no reliance on alternative funding sources |
| We experienced strong growth in deposits excluding brokered deposits, which together with utilizing some excess cash, allowed us to pay down about $470 million of wholesale funding |
| And so, you know, maintaining and growing that capital in the near term is something that we like because it's -- we like the flexibility that that gives us |
| All regulatory capital ratios are in excess of required minimums to be considered well capitalized and each of these ratios improved from the prior quarter |
| We continue to serve and grow relationships and that's evidenced by our growth in loans also in deposits this quarter |

| And then as we think about margin and looking for a couple of comments, we do see continued pressures on the margin |
| One was a senior housing credit continues to underperform |
| Pressure on our net interest income and declines in the mortgage division are the key drivers to the decrease |
| Income from our mortgage division declined $2.2 million from the second quarter |
| Adjusted net interest margin, which excludes purchase accounting accretion and interest recoveries was 3.37%, down six basis points from Q2 |
| Volumes were impacted not only by seasonality but also by the increase in rates and lack of housing inventory |
| Interest rate lock volume declined $110 million quarter-over-quarter and our gain on sale margin decreased 11 basis points |
| In Q2, we did -- you do have the seasonality revenues, mortgage revenue was down |
| While pleased with the underlying strength of our portfolio, we remain cautious about credit in the current environment |
| That impacted our net performance in 2Q |
| Excluding the loss on the sale of securities in the second quarter, noninterest income decreased $1.5 million quarter-over-quarter |
| Excluding the after tax loss on the sale of securities in the second quarter, net income declined $4.4 million on a linked quarter basis |
| You know, it remains uncertain and, you know, volatile environment, as you know |
| Margin compression continues to put pressure on our efficiency, but managing this ratio down continues to be a goal of ours |
| That's down slightly from $413 million the prior quarter |
| Our second quarter results included an after-tax loss of $18.1 million or $0.32 from the sale of a portion of our securities portfolio |
| So sort of predicting where things might bottom is a tough thing |
| I think as we look at Q4, my expectation is that the margin will continue to compress and probably a bit more than we saw in Q2 to Q3, but less than the compression that we saw Q1 to Q2, in terms of margin |
| So we did see a decline in noninterest-bearing balances in the quarter, but it was meaningfully less than the decline we saw from the Q1 to Q2 |
| So you can see those pressures still persist |
