Impact of Certain Expenses and Charges From time to time, the Company incurs expenses and charges with respect to which management is unable to accurately predict when these expenses or charges will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount of such expenses or charges. The following tables present the impact of these expenses and charges on reported EPS for the periods listed. The “COVID-19 related expenses” line item primarily consists of (a) employee overtime and employee benefit accruals directly related to the Company’s response to both the COVID-19 pandemic itself and federal legislation enacted to address the pandemic, such as the CARES Act, and (b) expenses associated with supplying branches with protective equipment and sanitation supplies (such as floor markings and cautionary signage for branches, face coverings and hand sanitizer) and more frequent and rigorous branch cleaning.

Financial ConditionTotal assets were $16.16 billion at September 30, 2021, as compared to $14.93 billion at December 31, 2020. Total loans held for investment were $10.02 billion at September 30, 2021, as compared to $10.93 billion at December 31, 2020. Loans held for investment at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 included $67.5 million and $1.13 billion, respectively, in Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans. Excluding PPP loans, the loan portfolio grew 1.87% on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2021.

Total deposits increased to $13.25 billion at September 30, 2021, from $12.06 billion at December 31, 2020. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $807.6 million to $4.49 billion, or 33.89% of total deposits, at September 30, 2021, as compared to $3.69 billion, or 30.56% of total deposits, at December 31, 2020.

Capital Management; Adoption of New Stock Repurchase ProgramThe Company’s capital position, as measured by regulatory capital ratios, remains strong. This capital strength gives the Company flexibility to accommodate future loan growth, M&A activity or share repurchases. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased $21.3 million of its common stock at a weighted average price of $34.82.

On October 26, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (the previous program having just expired), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock, either in open market purchases or privately-negotiated transactions. The new repurchase program will remain in effect for one year or, if earlier, the repurchase of the entire amount of common stock authorized to be repurchased. Notwithstanding the Board’s action, the Company currently has no plans to resume stock repurchases.

At September 30, 2021, Tier 1 leverage capital was 9.18%, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 11.02%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.94% and total risk-based capital ratio was 14.66%. All of the Company’s regulatory ratios exceed the minimums required to be “well-capitalized.”

The Company’s ratio of shareholders’ equity to assets was 13.64% at September 30, 2021, as compared to 14.29% at December 31, 2020. The Company’s tangible capital ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.15% at September 30, 2021, as compared to 8.33% at December 31, 2020.

Results of OperationsNet interest income was $103.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to $109.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $106.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily driven by the decrease in PPP income as the PPP portfolio continued to decline during the quarter due to loan forgiveness. Net interest income was $322.5 million for the first nine months of 2021, as compared to $318.7 million for the first nine months of 2020.

PPP loans benefited net interest margin and loan yield by 7 basis points and 9 basis points, respectively, in the third quarter of 2021, and 11 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively, in the first nine months of 2021. Increased liquidity has continued to add pressure to net interest margin in recent quarters. The Company has aggressively lowered interest rates on interest bearing deposits and increased its purchases of investment securities, and it continues to evaluate options to mitigate the pressure on net interest margin.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $50.8 million, as compared to $47.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $70.9 million for the third quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decline is due to changes in mortgage banking income, as detailed below. Noninterest income for the first nine months of 2021 was $179.4 million, as compared to $172.7 million for the same period in 2020.

In mortgage banking, the Company’s interest rate lock volume was $1.44 billion in the third quarter of 2021 and $4.71 billion for the first nine months of 2021. Although gain on sale margins continued to compress during the third quarter, mortgage banking income increased on a linked quarter basis. This increase was primarily driven by an improvement in the fair value adjustment to the loan pipeline from the second quarter to the third quarter. The following tables present the components of mortgage banking income for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company experienced increases in other fee income categories, including wealth management and insurance, as compared to the second quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2020. The Company also recognized in the third quarter of 2021 $764 thousand in gains on securities sold.

The Company entered into a referral relationship with a third party to utilize its technology platform for PPP loans originated under the latest round of the program. The Company earned approximately $2.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in referral fees from this round of PPP during the first and second quarter of 2021, which are recorded in other noninterest income. No such fees were earned during the third quarter of 2021.

Noninterest expense was $104.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to $108.8 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $116.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2021 was $328.7 million, as compared to $349.8 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease on both a linked quarter and quarter-over-quarter basis in 2021 is partially related to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits, which was driven by lower mortgage incentive compensation expense recognized during the third quarter of 2021 and cost savings realized from the voluntary early retirement program offered during the fourth quarter of 2020. Other noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2021 was down from the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to the full amortization of a $3.1 million tax credit investment recognized during the second quarter of 2021. A corresponding credit of $3.4 million reduced income taxes for the second quarter. Additionally, the Company released a portion of the reserve for unfunded commitments and recorded a negative $200 thousand provision for unfunded commitments in other noninterest expense during the third quarter of 2021.

Asset Quality MetricsAt September 30, 2021, the Company’s credit quality metrics remained strong. Loans on deferred payment, as offered through the Company’s loan deferral program, established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, continue to decline, and as of September 30, 2021, approximately 0.04% of the Company’s loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) was on deferral, down from approximately 1.5% as of December 31, 2020.

Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “potential,” “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 continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (and variants thereof) and related governmental response measures on the U.S. economy and the economies of the markets in which we operate; (ii) 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; (iii) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (iv) timing and success of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (v) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (vi) the financial resources of, and products available from, competitors; (vii) changes in laws and regulations as well as changes in accounting standards; (viii) changes in policy by regulatory agencies; (ix) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (x) the Company’s potential growth, including its entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (xi) 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; (xii) an insufficient allowance for credit losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (xiii) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (xiv) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (xv) concentration of credit exposure; (xvi) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; (xvii) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses; (xviii) civil unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and other catastrophic events in the Company’s geographic area; (xix) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; and (xx) 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 contains non-GAAP financial measures, namely, earnings, with exclusions, return on average tangible shareholders’ equity, return on average tangible assets, the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets (commonly referred to as the “tangible capital ratio”), tangible book value per share, the adjusted efficiency ratio and certain asset quality ratios (nonperforming loans to total loans, nonperforming assets to total assets, loans 30-89 past due to total loans, and the allowance for credit losses to total loans) in each case excluding PPP loans. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets and/or certain charges (such as, among others, COVID-19 related expenses, restructuring charges and asset valuation adjustments) 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 asset quality measures, 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 (as discussed earlier in this release) 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 its asset quality measures, management excludes PPP loans, which are both forgivable and guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, to more clearly measure potential loss, and the coverage therefor, in the Company’s loan portfolio. 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 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 at the end of this release under the caption “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP,” except that reconciliations of the non-GAAP asset quality measures to GAAP are included in the presentation materials that the Company filed with the SEC together with this earnings release.

None of the non-GAAP financial information that the Company has included in this release is 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.
