We recently completed the acquisition of Republic Business Credit and are excited to welcome that team to Renasant.”

    Quarterly Highlights

    Acquisition

    • The Company completed the acquisition of Republic Business Credit, a factoring and asset-based lending company headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana (“RBC”), on December 30, 2022. The RBC acquisition added $77.5 million in loans on the date of acquisition, and the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.6 million, a provision for unfunded commitments of $0.2 million and merger expenses of $1.1 million

    Earnings

    • Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $46.3 million with diluted EPS of $0.82 and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP)(1) of $0.89
    • Net interest income (fully tax equivalent) for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $140.6 million, up $8.1 million on a linked quarter basis
    • For the fourth quarter of 2022, net interest margin was 3.78%, up 24 basis points on a linked quarter basis
    • Cost of total deposits was 52 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2022, up 31 basis points on a linked quarter basis
    • The Company’s wealth management and insurance lines of business produced steady results during the fourth quarter of 2022
    • The mortgage division generated $0.5 billion in interest rate lock volume during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $0.6 billion in the third quarter of 2022. Gain on sale margin was 1.64% for the fourth quarter of 2022, up 61 basis points on a linked quarter basis. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights of $3.0 million in the third quarter. No such sales occurred in the fourth quarter
    • Fourth quarter noninterest expense remained relatively unchanged on a linked quarter basis. In addition to expenses incurred in connection with the RBC acquisition, the Company recorded $1.3 million in expense related to the voluntary reimbursement of certain re-presentment NSF fees previously charged to customers that the Company expects to make in 2023 in light of the FDIC’s recent guidance to banks regarding such fees.

    • The securities portfolio decreased $64.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2022 from September 30, 2022, due to net cash outflows during the quarter of $75.4 million and a positive fair market value adjustment in our available-for-sale portfolio of $10.6 million
    • Deposits at December 31, 2022 increased $54.8 million from September 30, 2022, driven by an increase in interest bearing deposits.

    • The Company has a $100 million stock repurchase program that is in effect through October 2023; there was no buyback activity during the fourth quarter of 2022

    Credit Quality

    • The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $10.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily driven by loan growth and the aforementioned provision with respect to acquired RBC loans
    • The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans increased nine basis points on a linked quarter basis to 1.66% at December 31, 2022; an allowance of $9.8 million was recorded for RBC loans that had experienced credit deterioration prior to acquisition

    CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

    This press release may contain, or incorporate by reference, statements about Renasant Corporation that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “potential,” “focus,” “possible,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would” and “could,” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include information about the Company’s future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives and are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management. The Company’s management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but they are all inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking statements, and such differences may be material. Prospective investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and, accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

    Important factors currently known to management that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following: (i) the Company’s ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into its operations, retain the customers of these businesses, grow the acquired operations and realize the cost savings expected from an acquisition to the extent and in the timeframe anticipated by management; (ii) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (iii) timing and success of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (iv) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (v) the financial resources of, and products available from, competitors; (vi) changes in laws and regulations as well as changes in accounting standards; (vii) changes in policy by regulatory agencies; (viii) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (ix) the Company’s potential growth, including its entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (x) changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers; (xi) an insufficient allowance for credit losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (xii) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (xiii) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (xiv) concentration of credit exposure; (xv) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; (xvi) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses; (xvii) civil unrest, natural disasters, epidemics (including the re-emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic) and other catastrophic events in the Company’s geographic area; (xviii) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; and (xix) other circumstances, many of which are beyond management’s control.

    Management believes that the assumptions underlying the Company’s forward-looking statements are reasonable, but any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. Investors are urged to carefully consider the risks described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at www.renasant.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

    The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, except as required by federal securities laws.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:

    In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this press release and the presentation slides furnished to the SEC on the same Form 8-K as this release contain non-GAAP financial measures, including, without limitation, (i) core loan yield, (ii) core net interest income and margin, (iii) adjusted pre-provision net revenue, (iv) adjusted net income, (v) adjusted diluted earnings per share, (vi) tangible book value per share, (vii) the tangible common equity ratio, (viii) loans held for investment excluding PPP loans, (ix) certain performance ratios (namely, the ratio of adjusted pre-provision net revenue to average assets, the adjusted return on average assets and on average equity, and the return on average tangible assets and on average tangible common equity (including on an as-adjusted basis)), and (x) the adjusted efficiency ratio.

    These non-GAAP financial measures adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets and/or certain charges (such as, among others, merger and conversion expenses, COVID-19 related expenses and expenses related to the voluntary reimbursement of certain re-presentment NSF fees) with respect to which the Company is unable to accurately predict when these charges will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount thereof or, with respect to core loan yield, to exclude the Company’s PPP loans. With respect to COVID-19 related expenses in particular, management added these expenses as a charge to exclude when calculating non-GAAP financial measures because the expenses included within this line item are readily quantifiable and possess the same characteristics with respect to management’s inability to accurately predict the timing or amount thereof as the other charges excluded when calculating non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy; with respect to the core loan yield, management excludes PPP loans, which bear an interest rate fixed by Small Business Administration (“SBA”) regulations and are both forgivable and guaranteed by the SBA, to more clearly measure loan yields affected by competitive factors and potential loss in the Company’s loan portfolio and the coverage therefor. In addition, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate the making of period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indicators of its operating performance, particularly because these measures are widely used by industry analysts for companies with merger and acquisition activities. Also, because intangible assets such as goodwill and the core deposit intangible, charges such as debt prepayment penalties, restructuring charges and COVID-19 related expenses, and the amount of PPP loans can vary extensively from company to company and, as to intangible assets, are excluded from the calculation of a financial institution’s regulatory capital, the Company believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information allows readers to more easily compare the Company’s results to information provided in other regulatory reports and the results of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below under the caption “Non-GAAP Reconciliations”.

    None of the non-GAAP financial information that the Company has included in this release or the accompanying presentation slides are intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that, because there are no standardized definitions for the calculations as well as the results, the Company’s calculations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
