Loans

Total loans were $23.9 billion at June 30, 2024, down $59.3 million, or less than 1%, from March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the runoff of a Shared National Credit portfolio of $221 million as we remain focused on originating more granular loans.

Average loans totaled $23.9 billion for the second quarter of 2024, up $107.2 million, or less than 1%, linked-quarter. Management expects 2024 period-end loan balances to be flat to down slightly from year-end 2023.

Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 2024 were $29.2 billion, down $575.2 million, or 2%, from March 31, 2024. The linked-quarter decrease in deposits was driven primarily by a decrease of $415.3 million in interest-bearing deposits that includes seasonal decreases in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits and interest-bearing public funds, and a decrease in brokered deposits due to maturities that were not replaced during the quarter. These decreases were offset by an increase in retail time deposits despite maturity concentrations and promotional rate reductions during the quarter.

DDAs totaled $10.6 billion at June 30, 2024, down $159.9 million, or 1%, from March 31, 2024 and comprised 36% of total period-end deposits. Interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits totaled $10.8 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2024, down $140.6 million, or 1%, linked-quarter. Compared to March 31, 2024, retail time deposits of $4.6 billion were up $64.6 million, or 1%, and brokered deposits were $200.1 million, down $194.7 million, or 49%, compared to the prior quarter. Interest-bearing public fund deposits decreased $144.5 million, or 5%, linked-quarter, totaling $2.9 billion at June 30, 2024.

Average deposits for the second quarter of 2024 were $29.1 billion, down $491.9 million, or 2%, linked-quarter. Management expects 2024 period-end deposit levels to be flat to down slightly from year-end 2023.

Asset Quality

The total allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $342.2 million at June 30, 2024, up $1.4 million, or less than 1%, from March 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2024, the company recorded a provision for credit losses of $8.7 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. There were $7.3 million of net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2024, or 0.12% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $9.0 million, or 0.15% of average total loans in the first quarter of 2024. The ratio of ACL to period-end loans was 1.43% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.42% at March 31, 2024.

Criticized commercial loans totaled $379.8 million, or 2.05% of total commercial loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $339.9 million, or 1.83% of total commercial loans at March 31 2024. Nonaccrual loans totaled $86.3 million, or 0.36% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $82.1 million, or 0.34% of total loans, at March 31, 2024. ORE and foreclosed assets were $2.1 million at June 30, 2024, down $0.7 million, or 24% linked-quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (NIM)

2

Net interest income (TE) for the second quarter of 2024 was $273.3 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 2%, from the first quarter of 2024. The net interest margin (NIM) (TE) was 3.37% in the second quarter of 2024, up 5 bps linked-quarter. Higher loan yields (+6 bps), higher securities yields (+1 bp) and the impact of change in deposit rates (+1 bp), led to an 8 basis point improvement in NIM, offset by an unfavorable shift in borrowing mix (-3 bps). We expect modest NIM expansion in the second half of 2024, assuming no rate cuts through year-end.

Average earning assets were $32.5 billion for the second quarter of 2024, virtually unchanged from the first quarter of 2024.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $89.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, up $1.3 million, or 2%, from the first quarter of 2024.

Service charges on deposits were virtually unchanged from the first quarter of 2024. Bank card and ATM fees were up $1.2 million, or 6%, from the first quarter of 2024 due to higher customer activity.

Investment and annuity income and insurance fees were down $2.1 million, or 17%, linked-quarter, related to lower stock and bond trading volume and lower annuity sales, compared to record-high volume in the first quarter of 2024. Trust fees were up $1.4 million, or 8% linked-quarter, due to annual collection of tax preparation fees, higher market values, and higher sales. Fees from secondary mortgage operations totaled $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, up $0.7 million, or 23%, linked-quarter, due to continued shift to secondary focused production.

Other noninterest income was $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, up $0.1 million, or 1%, from the first quarter of 2024.

Personnel expense totaled $118.7 million in the second quarter of 2024, down $2.4 million, or 2%, linked-quarter. The decrease was due to lower incentives, payroll taxes, and retirement benefits. Net occupancy and equipment expense totaled $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, down $0.2 million, or 1%, from the first quarter of 2024. Amortization of intangibles totaled $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, down $0.1 million, or 5%, linked-quarter.

ORE and other foreclosed assets was a net gain of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to a net gain of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Other expense totaled $68.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, up $1.9 million, or 3%, linked-quarter, largely related to higher data processing and professional services expenses. Prior quarter's

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes non-GAAP financial measures to describe Hancock Whitney's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently. The reconciliations of those measures to GAAP measures are provided either in the financial tables or in Appendix A thereto.

Consistent with the provisions of subpart 229.1400 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-K, "Disclosures by Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants," the company presents net interest income, net interest margin and efficiency ratios on a fully taxable equivalent ("TE") basis. The TE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments using the statutory federal tax rate to increase tax-exempt interest income to a taxable equivalent basis. The company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

The company presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures to assist the reader with a better understanding of the company's performance period over period, as well as to provide investors with assistance in understanding the success management has experienced in executing its strategic initiatives. The company highlights certain items that are outside of our principal business and/or are not indicative of forward-looking trends in supplemental disclosures items below our GAAP financial data and presents certain "Adjusted" ratios that exclude these disclosed items. These adjusted ratios provide management or the reader with a measure that may be more indicative of forward-looking trends in our business, as well as demonstrates the effects of significant gains or losses and changes.

We define Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue as net income excluding provision expense and income tax expense, plus the taxable equivalent adjustment (as defined above), less supplemental disclosure items (as defined above). Management believes that adjusted pre-provision net revenue is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the company's ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. We define Adjusted Revenue as net interest income (te) and noninterest income less supplemental disclosure items. We define Adjusted Noninterest Expense as noninterest expense less supplemental disclosure items. We define our Efficiency Ratio as noninterest expense to total net interest income (te) and noninterest income, excluding amortization of purchased intangibles and supplemental disclosure items, if applicable. Management believes adjusted revenue, adjusted noninterest expense and the efficiency ratio are useful measures as they provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability with prior periods.
