| Statement |
|---|
| For the quarter, noninterest income represented 27.4% of total revenue, continuing to demonstrate a well-diversified revenue stream |
| The credit metrics on this portfolio remain extremely strong |
| Trustmark had a solid third quarter with continued loan and deposit growth, a stable net interest income, strong performance in our insurance business, and solid credit quality |
| So, we've done some things that we think over time really enhance shareholder value |
| As noted on Slide 16, Trustmark remains well-positioned from a capital perspective |
| We believe Trustmark is well-positioned to respond to changing economic conditions and create long-term value for our shareholders |
| Retail production mix remained strong in the third quarter, representing 76% of volume or about $295 million |
| Our Atlanta-based Equipment Finance division continues to gain traction as its portfolio has grown to $191 million as of 9/30 |
| We believe these actions will enhance Trustmark's performance and build long-term value for our shareholders |
| We had another good quarter with our deposit base continuing to show its strength amid an environment that remains exceptionally competitive |
| Credit quality remained solid during the quarter as the allowance for credit losses represented 1.05% of total loans held-for-investment and 273.6% of non-accrual loans excluding individually evaluated loans at September 30 |
| We do expect continued solid loan growth throughout the remainder of 2023, resulting in mid-single-digit loan growth for the year |
| But having said that, we definitely are seeing some good fee income on those particular opportunities as well as spreads to one month SOFR |
| So, for that reason, I think we continue to see a nice yield in our new production relative to the overall book |
| We have a great team, great management structure there, et cetera |
| So, yes, we did come in just slightly favorable to our guidance for the third quarter |
| Looking at Slide 8, we continue to post solid credit quality metrics |
| So I think, in addition to the market pressures that we're facing, I also think the organization has advanced in its targeted marketing campaigns across the system, so -- which has helped manage the cost |
| It's been a steady, stable, consistent grower, especially over the last 10 years to 12 years |
| It's a very high return on tangible common equity business |
| The linked-quarter increase was driven by strong fundamentals, with growth in personal balances of $288 million, non-personal balances of $148 million and brokered balances of $125 million |
| As Duane previously mentioned, our capital ratios remained solid, with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 9.89%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.11% |
| So yeah, we feel pretty good about where we are at this point in that business |
| That combined with some of the efficiencies of technology that have been implemented, we definitely, moving into 2024, feel the cost saving side is a big opportunity for us |
| We will continue to maintain a strong capital base and implement corporate priorities and initiatives |
| We continue to maintain strong capital levels with common equity tier 1 of 9.89% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.11% |
| What we put on the books was 7.9%, so we are still seeing a nice increase and the -- of the new bookings versus the makeup of the book itself |
| So, certainly, earning asset growth will drive an increase year-over-year in net interest income |
| We have implemented numerous technology advancements, which will continue into '24 and '25, all of which are designed to improve efficiencies |
| They saw some really nice expansion this quarter |
| Statement |
|---|
| Mortgage loan production totaled $390 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 9.6% linked-quarter and a decrease of 23.3% year-over-year |
| Net interest income totaled $141.9 million, resulting in a net interest margin of 3.29%, down 4 basis points, linked-quarter |
| And as a result, we slightly lowered our guidance on deposit cost for the fourth quarter |
| Looking at Slide 7, our provision for credit losses for loans held-for-investment was $8.3 million during the quarter, which was attributable to: reserving for one individually evaluated credit; a weakening macroeconomic forecast; funding provision for the loan growth that we achieved during the quarter; and net adjustments to our qualitative factors |
| As Duane said, net interest income, FTE, decreased by $1.4 million linked-quarter, totaling $141.9 million, which resulted in a net interest margin of 3.29% |
| Mortgage banking revenue is expected to decline low-single-digits for the year |
| But that -- but the headwind from compression in net interest margin, we're not going to be able to overcome |
| Year-over-year, mortgage banking declined by $418,000, driven primarily by reduced gain on sale |
| Noninterest income for the third quarter totaled $52.2 million, a $1.3 million linked-quarter decrease and a $382,000 decrease year-over-year |
| Clearly, much lower production we saw in 2023 -- excuse me, in 2022 |
| Noninterest income decreased 2.5%, linked-quarter, to $52.2 million, representing 27.4% of total revenue in the third quarter |
| No, I mean, I think when you look at the dynamic in the industry, right, I mean that's the challenge for the industry heading into '24 is the compression that we've experienced and that we're facing in terms of net interest margin, just mathematically, you can't get there |
| Gain on sale margin decreased by 3 basis points linked-quarter to 1.21% |
| Also regarding mix, the rate of decline in noninterest-bearing DDAs slowed meaningfully during the third quarter, down linked-quarter by $141 million or 4.1% |
| But it just -- it feels like it would be a challenge to maybe see that high single-digit growth again in 2024, not trying to hash 2024 guidance out now or anything, but I guess that was really more the precedent of the question, if we keep seeing more margin compression, but understanding that you'll still be growing the earning asset base as well |
| And that's predominantly because a lot of our new opportunities are CRE-related, slower production than we saw in '21 |
| I think you'll continue to see some linked-quarter compression in net interest margin for the next couple of quarters |
| And lastly, I know you guys mentioned buybacks are fairly unlikely in near-term |
| The linked-quarter decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in bank card and other fees of $700,000 and by a decrease of -- in other net of $1.3 million, which was essentially normalization from an elevated level in the second quarter, that was driven by non-recurring income recognition |
| We understand in a new line of business, we don't want to stumble, we don't want to have problems |
