Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(In Thousands)

Nature of Operations: Renasant Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”) owns and operates Renasant Bank (“Renasant Bank” or the “Bank”), Renasant Insurance, Inc. and Park Place Capital Corporation. Through its subsidiaries, the Company offers a diversified range of financial, wealth management, fiduciary and insurance services to its retail and commercial customers from full service offices located throughout Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2021.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 842): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions if certain criteria are met that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As the guidance is intended to assist stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period, it is in effect only from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has established a LIBOR Transition Committee and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events:

On October 1, 2021, the Company redeemed at par $15,000 of 6.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes that were assumed as part of the Metropolitan BancGroup, Inc. acquisition in 2017.

On October 27, 2021, the Company prepaid a $150,000 long-term advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). The long-term advance featured a floating rate of three-month LIBOR less 50 basis points with a 0% floor that converted to a fixed rate of 1.358% in October 2021. As a result of this early prepayment, the Company incurred penalty charges of $6,123.

On October 27, 2021, the Bank terminated swaps with a total notional amount of $100,000. These swaps hedged forecasted future FHLB borrowings which are no longer forecasted to occur. As a result of the termination the Company recognized a gain of $4,730.

The Company evaluates its investment portfolio for impairment related to credit losses on a quarterly basis. Impairment is assessed at the individual security level. The Company considers an investment security impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its cost or amortized cost basis. If the Company intends to sell the investment security or if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security before the Company is required to sell the security or before the security’s maturity, the security is impaired and written down to fair value with all losses recognized in earnings.

The Company does not intend to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position that it holds, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Furthermore, even though a number of these securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for a period longer than twelve months, the Company is collecting principal and interest payments from the respective issuers as scheduled. As a result, no allowance for credit losses for securities was needed at September 30, 2021.

Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Generally, the recognition of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer and other retail loans are typically charged-off no later than the time the loan is 120 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. All interest accrued for the current year, but not collected, for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Restructured Loans

Restructured loans are those for which concessions have been granted to the borrower due to a deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition and which are performing in accordance with the new terms. Such concessions may include reduction in interest rates or deferral of interest or principal payments. In evaluating whether to restructure a loan, management analyzes the long-term financial condition of the borrower, including guarantor and collateral support, to determine whether the proposed concessions will increase the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest.

The tables below illustrate the impact of modifications classified as restructured loans which were made during the periods presented and held on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the respective period end.

In response to the economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented a loan deferral program in the second quarter of 2020 to provide temporary payment relief to both consumer and commercial customers. Any customer current on loan payments, taxes and insurance qualified for an initial 90-day deferral of principal and interest payments. A second 90-day deferral was available to borrowers that remained current on taxes and insurance through the first deferral period and also satisfied underwriting standards established by the Company that analyzed the ability of the borrower to service its loan in accordance with its existing terms in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the borrower, its industry and the markets in which it operated. The Company’s loan deferral program complied with the guidance set forth in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and related guidance from the FDIC and other banking regulators. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has discontinued its deferral program but 30 loans with total balances of approximately $3,300 remained on deferral. In accordance with the applicable guidance, none of these loans are considered “restructured loans.”

Credit Quality

For loans with a commercial purpose, internal risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration or loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. Management analyzes the resulting ratings, as well as other external statistics and factors such as delinquency, to track the migration performance of the portfolio balances of commercial and commercial real estate secured loans. Loan grades range between 1 and 9, with 1 being loans with the least credit risk. Loans within the “Pass” grade (reserved for loans with a risk rating between 1 and 4C) generally have a lower risk of loss and therefore a lower risk factor applied to the loan balances. The “Special Mention” grade (those with a risk rating of 4E) represents a loan where a significant adverse risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term and, left uncorrected, could result in deterioration of the credit quality of the loan. Loans that migrate toward the “Substandard” grade (those with a risk rating between 5 and 9) generally have a higher risk of loss and therefore a higher risk factor applied to those related loan balances.

The following tables present the Company’s loan portfolio by year of origination and internal risk-rating grades as of the dates presented:

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio and is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance-sheet credit exposures is accounted for as a separate liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, is adjusted by a provision for credit losses, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by net charge-offs. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. For more information about the Company’s policies and procedures for determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, please refer to the discussion in Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had accrued interest receivable for loans of $45,404 and $56,459, respectively, which is recorded in the “Other assets” line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the Company made the election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses, the Company did have an allowance for credit losses on interest deferred as part of the loan deferral program of $1,356 and $1,500, respectively, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The decrease in the balance during the first nine months of 2021 is due to the charge-off of deferred interest balances.

The Company recorded a negative provision (recovery) for credit losses of $1,200 during the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, as compared to a provision for credit losses on loans of $23,100 in the third quarter of 2020 and $76,350 in the first nine months of 2020. The Company’s allowance for credit loss model considers economic projections, primarily the national unemployment rate and GDP, over a reasonable and supportable period of two years. Based on the continual improvements in these forecasts over the last few quarters, the Company’s allowance model indicated that a release of the allowance for credit losses was appropriate during the third quarter of 2021.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments

The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, which is included in the “Other liabilities” line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8 – Mortgage Servicing Rights

(In Thousands)

The Company retains the right to service certain mortgage loans that it sells to secondary market investors. These mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recognized as a separate asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold. MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. These servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions, including expected cash flows, prepayment speeds, market discount rates, servicing costs, and other factors, and is subject to significant fluctuation as a result of actual prepayment speeds, default rates and losses differing from estimates thereof. For example, a decline in mortgage interest rates or an increase in actual prepayment speeds may cause negative adjustments to the valuation of the Company’s MSRs.

Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment (or reversals of prior impairments) quarterly based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance in the amount that unamortized cost exceeds fair value. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists, a reduction of the valuation allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances related to servicing rights are reported in “Mortgage banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

There was a positive valuation adjustment of $13,561 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 on MSRs. This positive adjustment primarily arose from an increase in mortgage interest rates and a corresponding decrease in actual prepayment speeds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 there was a negative valuation adjustment of $13,694 which was caused by a difference between actual prepayment speeds and the Company’s assumptions with respect to prepayment speeds.

Changes in the Company’s MSRs were as follows:


Balance at January 1, 2021	$	62,994

Capitalization	26,532
Amortization	(16,700)
Valuation adjustment	13,561
Balance at September 30, 2021	$	86,387

Data and key economic assumptions related to the Company’s MSRs are as follows as of the dates presented:

Note 10 – Derivative Instruments

(In Thousands)

The Company uses certain derivative instruments to meet the needs of customers as well as to manage the interest rate risk associated with certain transactions.

Non-hedge derivatives

The Company enters into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract position. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of default by its commercial customers, through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures.

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments with its customers to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the commitments to fund fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. The Company also enters into forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors.

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flow or other forecasted transactions. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts in an effort to manage future interest rate exposure on borrowings. The hedging strategy converts the LIBOR-based variable interest rate on the forecasted borrowings to a fixed interest rate. As of September 30, 2021, the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows through 2030 and a portion of these hedges are forward starting.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of the dates presented:


	Balance Sheet	September 30, 2021				December 31, 2020

Derivative liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	Other Liabilities	$	62,000	$	3,544	$	87,000	$	5,924

Changes in fair value of the cash flow hedges are, to the extent that the hedging relationship is effective, recorded as other comprehensive income and are subsequently recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the hedging instruments are immediately recognized in earnings. The assessment of the effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the hypothetical derivative method. There were no ineffective portions for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020. The impact on other comprehensive

income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is discussed in Note 13, “Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges

Fair value hedges protect against changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on certain of the Company’s fixed-rate subordinated notes. The agreements convert the fixed interest rates to LIBOR-based variable interest rates.

Offsetting

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet when the “right of offset” exists or when the instruments are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement, which includes the right of the non-defaulting party or non-affected party to offset recognized amounts, including collateral posted with the counterparty, to determine a net receivable or net payable upon early termination of the agreement. Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments are subject to master netting agreements; however, the Company has not elected to offset such financial instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the Company’s gross derivative positions as recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as the net derivative positions, including collateral pledged to the extent the application of such collateral did not reduce the net derivative liability position below zero, had the Company elected to offset those instruments subject to an enforceable master netting agreement:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes totaling $35,572 and $13,022, respectively. The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income taxes and differs from the statutory rate due to favorable permanent differences. During the second quarter of 2021 the Company recognized a one-time state tax credit investment of $3,460 which reduced income taxes as a discrete item. The effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, was 22.10% and 20.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements

(In Thousands)

Fair Value Measurements and the Fair Level Hierarchy

FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to a valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), moderate priority to a valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and/or based on assumptions that are observable in the market (Level 2), and the lowest priority to a valuation based on assumptions that are not observable in the market (Level 3).

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with applicable standards. The Company’s recurring fair value measurements are based on the requirement to carry such assets and liabilities at fair value or the Company’s election to carry certain eligible assets and liabilities at fair value. Assets and liabilities that are required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis include securities available for sale and derivative instruments. The Company has elected to carry mortgage loans held for sale at fair value on a recurring basis as permitted under the guidance in ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”).

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis:

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale consist primarily of debt securities, such as obligations of U.S. Government agencies and corporations, obligations of states and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities. Where quoted market prices in active markets are available, securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If quoted prices from active markets are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques where all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When assumptions used in model-based valuation techniques are not observable in the market, the assumptions used by management reflect estimates of assumptions used by other market participants in determining fair value. When there is limited transparency around the inputs to the valuation, the instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative instruments: Most of the Company’s derivative contracts are extensively traded in over-the-counter markets and are valued using discounted cash flow models which incorporate observable market based inputs including current market interest rates, credit spreads, and other factors. Such instruments are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and include interest rate swaps and other interest rate contracts such as interest rate caps and/or floors. The Company’s interest rate lock commitments are valued using current market prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics, adjusted for certain factors including servicing and risk. The value of the Company’s forward commitments is based on current prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. Because these assumptions are observable in active markets, the Company’s interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage loans held for sale in loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are primarily agency loans which trade in active secondary markets. The fair value of these instruments is derived from current market pricing for similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics, including servicing and risk. Because the valuation is based on external pricing of similar instruments, mortgage loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates presented:

The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the Company’s ability to observe inputs to the valuation may cause reclassification of certain assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between levels of the hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the end of period. There were no such transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, there were no gains or losses included in earnings that were attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses related to assets or liabilities held at the end of each respective period that were measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically are a result of the application of the lower of cost or market accounting or a write-down occurring during the period. The following tables provide the fair value measurement for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the dates presented and the level within the fair value hierarchy each is classified:


September 30, 2021	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Totals

Total	$	—	$	—	$	89,875	$	89,875

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets measured on a nonrecurring basis:

Individually evaluated loans: Loans are individually evaluated for credit losses each quarter taking into account the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including but not limited to equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The fair value of the business assets is generally based on amounts reported on the business’s financial statements. Appraised and reported values may be adjusted based on changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management’s knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Since not all valuation inputs are observable, these nonrecurring fair value determinations are classified as Level 3. Individually evaluated loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors previously identified. Individually evaluated loans that were measured or re-measured at fair value had a carrying value of $17,959 and $36,990 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and a specific reserve for these loans of $8,549 and $12,845 was included in the allowance for credit losses as of such dates.

Other real estate owned: OREO is comprised of commercial and residential real estate obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations. OREO acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at the fair value of the real estate less estimated costs to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for declines in fair value. Fair value, when recorded, is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers and adjusted for management’s estimates of costs to sell. Accordingly, values for OREO are classified as Level 3.

The following table presents OREO measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that was still held on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the dates presented:


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing costs, and other factors. Because these factors are not all observable and include management’s assumptions, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Mortgage servicing rights were carried at amortized cost at September 30, 2021 and fair value at December 31, 2020. There were $13,561 of positive valuation adjustments on MSRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $13,694 of negative valuation adjustments recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table presents information as of September 30, 2021 about significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in the valuation of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected to measure all mortgage loans held for sale at fair value under the fair value option as permitted under ASC 825. Electing to measure these assets at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches the changes in fair value of the loans with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.

Net losses of $10,425 and net gains of $10,876 resulting from fair value changes of these mortgage loans were recorded in income during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The amount does not reflect changes in fair values of related derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to market-related risks associated with these mortgage loans. The change in fair value of both mortgage loans held for sale and the related derivative instruments are recorded in “Mortgage banking income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s valuation of mortgage loans held for sale incorporates an assumption for credit risk; however, given the short-term period that the Company holds these loans, valuation adjustments attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is nominal. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value is accrued as it is earned based on contractual rates and is reflected in loan interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table summarizes the differences between the fair value and the principal balance for mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


	Aggregate Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Difference

Note 14 – Net Income Per Common Share

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the pro forma dilution of shares outstanding, assuming outstanding service-based restricted stock awards fully vested and outstanding stock options were exercised into common shares, calculated in accordance with the treasury method. Basic and diluted net income per common share calculations are as follows for the periods presented:

Note 15 – Regulatory Matters

(In Thousands)

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have issued guidelines governing the levels of capital that bank holding companies and banks must maintain. Those guidelines specify capital tiers, which include the following classifications:

Capital Tiers

Tier 1 Capital to
Average Assets
(Leverage)

Common Equity Tier 1 to
Risk - Weighted Assets

Tier 1 Capital to
Risk - Weighted
Assets

Total Capital to
Risk - Weighted
Assets

Well capitalized

Adequately capitalized

4% or above

4.5% or above

6% or above

8% or above

Undercapitalized

Less than 4%

Less than 4.5%

Less than 6%

Less than 8%

Significantly undercapitalized

Less than 3%

Less than 4%

Less than 6%

Critically undercapitalized

Tangible Equity / Total Assets less than 2%

The following table provides the capital and risk-based capital and leverage ratios for the Company and for the Bank as of the dates presented:


	September 30, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
Renasant Corporation
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets (Leverage)	$	1,395,321	9.18	%	$	1,306,597	9.37	%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	1,287,684		11.02	%	1,199,394		10.93	%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	1,395,321		11.94	%	1,306,597		11.91	%
Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	1,712,500		14.66	%	1,653,694		15.07	%
Renasant Bank
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets (Leverage)	$	1,454,879	9.58	%	$	1,369,994	9.83	%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	1,454,879		12.45	%	1,369,994		12.49	%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	1,454,879		12.45	%	1,369,994		12.49	%
Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	1,574,697		13.48	%	1,504,985		13.73	%

Common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) generally consists of common stock, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income and certain minority interests, less certain adjustments and deductions. In addition, the Company must maintain a “capital conservation buffer,” which is a specified amount of CET1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. If the Company’s ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted capital is below the capital conservation buffer, the Company will face restrictions on its ability to pay dividends, repurchase outstanding stock and make certain discretionary bonus payments. The required capital conservation buffer is 2.5% of CET1 to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements. As shown in the tables above, as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s CET1 capital was in excess of the capital conservation buffer.

The Company has elected to take advantage of transitional relief offered by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC to delay for two years the estimated impact of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC

Table of Contents

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

326”), often referred to as CECL, on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transitional period to phase out the capital benefit provided by the two-year delay.

Note 16 – Segment Reporting

(In Thousands)

The operations of the Company’s reportable segments are described as follows:

•The Community Banks segment delivers a complete range of banking and financial services to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses including checking and savings accounts, business and personal loans, asset-based lending and equipment leasing, as well as safe deposit and night depository facilities.

•The Insurance segment includes a full service insurance agency offering all major lines of commercial and personal insurance through major carriers.

•The Wealth Management segment, through the Trust division, offers a broad range of fiduciary services including the administration (as trustee or in other fiduciary or representative capacities) of benefit plans, management of trust accounts, inclusive of personal and corporate benefit accounts, and custodial accounts, as well as accounting and money management for trust accounts. In addition, the Wealth Management segment, through the Financial Services division, provides specialized products and services to customers, which include fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and other investment services through a third party broker-dealer.

To give the Company’s divisional management a more precise indication of the income and expenses they can control, the results of operations for the Community Banks, the Insurance and the Wealth Management segments reflect the direct revenues and expenses of each respective segment. Indirect revenues and expenses, including but not limited to income from the Company’s investment portfolio as well as certain costs associated with data processing and back office functions, primarily support the operations of the community banks and, therefore, are included in the results of the Community Banks segment. Included in “Other” are the operations of the holding company and other eliminations which are necessary for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts.

The following tables provide financial information for the Company’s operating segments as of and for the periods presented:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)

This Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference statements regarding Renasant Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) 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,” “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 such 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 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.

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.

Financial Condition

	$	2,544,643	100.00	%	$	1,343,457	100.00	%

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we deployed a portion of our excess liquidity into the securities portfolio and purchased $1,743,105 in investment securities. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), in the aggregate, comprised approximately 94% of these purchases. CMOs are included in the “Mortgage-backed securities” line item in the above table. The mortgage-backed securities and CMOs held in our investment portfolio are primarily issued by government sponsored entities. Obligations of state and political subdivisions comprised approximately 6% of purchases made during the first nine months of 2021.

Proceeds from maturities, calls and principal payments on securities during the first nine months of 2021 totaled $329,520. The Company sold municipal securities, residential mortgage backed securities, trust preferred securities, and other debt securities with a carrying value of $174,285 at the time of sale for net proceeds of $176,406, resulting in a net gain on sale of $2,121 during the first nine months of 2021. Proceeds from the maturities, calls and principal payments on securities during the first nine months of 2020 totaled $314,363. The Company sold municipal securities and residential mortgage backed securities with a carrying value of $8,742 at the time of sale for net proceeds of $8,773, resulting in net gain on sale of $31 during the first nine months of 2020.

For more information about the Company’s security portfolio, see Note 2, “Securities,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 1, Financial Statements, in this report.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale, which consist of residential mortgage loans being held until they are sold in the secondary market, were $452,869 at September 30, 2021, as compared to $417,771 at December 31, 2020. Mortgage loans to be sold are sold either on a “best efforts” basis or under a mandatory delivery sales agreement. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, residential real estate originations are locked in at a contractual rate with third party private investors or directly with government sponsored agencies, and the Company is obligated to sell the mortgages to such investors only if the mortgages are closed and funded. The risk we assume is conditioned upon loan underwriting and market conditions in the national mortgage market. Under a mandatory delivery sales agreement, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and delivery date. Penalties are paid to the investor if we fail to satisfy the contract. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. Our standard practice is to sell the loans within 30-40 days after the loan is funded. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market.

Loans

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $10,016,824 at September 30, 2021 and $10,933,647 at December 31, 2020. Non purchased loans totaled $8,875,880 at September 30, 2021 compared to $9,419,540 at December 31, 2020. Loans purchased in previous acquisitions totaled $1,140,944 and $1,514,107 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The tables below set forth the balance of loans outstanding, net of unearned income and excluding loans held for sale, by loan type and the percentage of each loan type to total loans as of the dates presented:

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At September 30, 2021, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not disclosed as a category of loans separate from the categories listed above.

Deposits

The Company relies on deposits as its major source of funds. Total deposits were $13,254,829 and $12,059,081 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $4,492,650 and $3,685,048 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, while interest-bearing deposits were $8,762,179 and $8,374,033 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The growth in noninterest-bearing deposits across the Company’s footprint during the current year has been driven by government stimulus payments and client sentiment to maintain liquidity. Management continues to focus on growing and maintaining a stable source of funding, specifically noninterest-bearing deposits and other core deposits (that is, deposits excluding time deposits greater than $250,000). Noninterest bearing deposits represented 33.89% of total deposits at September 30, 2021, as compared to 30.56% of total deposits at December 31, 2020. Under certain circumstances, however, management may elect to acquire non-core deposits (in the form of time deposits) or public fund deposits (which are deposits of counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions). The source of funds that we select depends on the terms and how those terms assist us in mitigating interest rate risk, maintaining our liquidity position and managing our net interest margin. Accordingly, funds are acquired to meet anticipated funding needs at the rate and with other terms that, in management’s view, best address our interest rate risk, liquidity and net interest margin parameters.

Public fund deposits may be readily obtained based on the Company’s pricing bid in comparison with competitors. Because public fund deposits are obtained through a bid process, these deposit balances may fluctuate as competitive and market forces change. Although the Company has focused on growing stable sources of deposits to reduce reliance on public fund deposits, it participates in the bidding process for public fund deposits when pricing and other terms make it reasonable given market conditions or when management perceives that other factors, such as the public entity’s use of our treasury management or other products and services, make such participation advisable. Our public fund transaction accounts are principally obtained from public universities and municipalities, including school boards and utilities. Public fund deposits were $1,534,547 and $1,398,330 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Borrowed Funds

Total borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from the FHLB, subordinated notes and junior subordinated debentures and are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either short-term borrowings or long-term debt. Short-term borrowings have original maturities less than one year and typically include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and short-term FHLB advances. The following table presents our short-term borrowings by type as of the dates presented:


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Security repurchase agreements	$	11,253	$	10,947
Federal funds purchased	—		10,393


	$	11,253	$	21,340

At September 30, 2021, long-term debt consists of long-term FHLB advances, our junior subordinated debentures and our subordinated notes. The following table presents our long-term debt by type as of the dates presented:


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Long-term FHLB advances	$	150,425	$	152,167
Junior subordinated debentures	111,228		110,794
Subordinated notes	207,210		212,009
	$	468,863	$	474,970

Long-term funds obtained from the FHLB are used to match-fund fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and to meet day-to-day liquidity needs, particularly when the cost of such borrowing compares favorably to the rates that we would be required to pay to attract deposits. At September 30, 2021, there were no outstanding long-term FHLB advances scheduled to

mature within twelve months or less. The Company had $3,977,848 of availability on unused lines of credit with the FHLB at September 30, 2021, as compared to $3,784,520 at December 31, 2020.

The Company has issued subordinated notes, the proceeds of which have been used for general corporate purposes, including providing capital to support the Company’s growth organically or through strategic acquisitions, repaying indebtedness and financing investments and capital expenditures, and for investments in Renasant Bank (the “Bank”) as regulatory capital. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 capital under the current regulatory guidelines.

The Company owns the outstanding common securities of business trusts that issued corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities to third-party investors. The trusts used the proceeds from the issuance of their preferred capital securities and common securities (collectively referred to as “capital securities”) to buy floating rate junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company (or by companies that the Company subsequently acquired). The debentures are the trusts’ only assets and interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the capital securities.

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $40,063 compared to net income of $29,992 for the third quarter of 2020. Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the third quarter of 2021 were $0.71 as compared to basic and diluted EPS of $0.53 for the third quarter of 2020. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $138,838 compared to net income of $52,130 for the same period in 2020. Basic and diluted EPS were $2.47 and $2.46 for the first nine months of 2021, respectively, as compared to $0.93 and $0.92 for the first nine months of 2020, respectively.

From time to time, the Company incurs expenses and charges or recognizes valuation adjustments in connection with certain transactions with respect to which management is unable to accurately predict when these items will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount of such items. The following table presents the impact of these items on reported EPS for the dates presented. The “COVID-19 related expenses” line item in the table below 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) as well as more frequent and rigorous branch cleaning.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, is the largest component of our net income, comprising 67.41% of total revenue (i.e., net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income) for the third quarter of 2021 and 64.61% of total revenue for the first nine months of 2021. The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the volume, mix and repricing of assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents

Net interest income was $103,292 and $322,519 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $106,286 and $318,670 for the same respective periods in 2020. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest income was $105,002 and $327,471 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $107,885 and $323,659 for the same respective periods in 2020.

The average balances of nonaccruing assets are included in the tables above. Interest income and weighted average yields on tax-exempt loans and securities have been computed on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 21% and a state tax rate of 4.45%, which is net of federal tax benefit.

Net interest margin and net interest income are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include balance sheet changes in volume, mix and pricing decisions. External factors include changes in market interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. As discussed in more detail below, the decline in loan yields due to the current low interest rate environment as well as changes in the mix of earning assets during the quarter due to increased liquidity on the balance sheet were the largest contributing factors to the decrease in net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods in 2020. The Company has continued to focus on lowering the cost of funding through growing noninterest-bearing deposits and aggressively lowering interest rates on interest-bearing deposits. The

Company has also increased its purchases of investment securities and continues to evaluate options to mitigate the pressure on net interest margin.

The following tables set forth a summary of the changes in interest earned, on a tax equivalent basis, and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and rates for the Company for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same respective periods in 2020 (the changes attributable to the combined impact of yield/rate and volume have been allocated on a pro-rata basis using the absolute value of amounts calculated):

Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $115,723 and $361,718, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $123,677 and $381,195, respectively, for the same periods in 2020. This decrease in interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, is due primarily to the Federal Reserve maintaining low interest rates since March 2020 and changes in the mix of earning assets during the year due to increased liquidity on the balance sheet.

The following tables present the percentage of total average earning assets, by type and yield, for the periods presented:

For the third quarter of 2021, interest income on loans held for investment, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $8,994 to $103,770 from $112,764 for the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income on loans held for investment, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $17,607 to $327,625 from $345,232 for the same period in 2020. Interest income on loans held for investment decreased primarily due to the Federal Reserve maintaining low interest rates since March 2020. Interest income attributable to PPP loans included in loan interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was $3,503, which consisted of $306 in interest income and $3,197 in accretion of net origination fees, as compared to $7,449 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which consisted of $3,262 in interest income and $4,187 in accretion of net origination fees. Interest income attributable to PPP loans included in loan interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $24,310, which consisted of $4,222 in interest income and $20,088 in accretion of net origination fees, as compared to $13,335 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which consisted of $5,586 in interest income and $7,749 in accretion of net origination fees. The PPP origination fees, net of agent fees paid and other origination costs, are being accreted into interest income over the life of the loan. If a PPP loan is forgiven in whole or in part, as provided under the CARES Act, the Company will recognize the non-accreted portion of the net origination fee attributable to the forgiven portion of such loan as of the date of the final forgiveness determination. PPP loans increased margin and loan yield by 7 basis points and 9 basis points, respectively, during the third quarter of 2021, and 11 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively, in the first nine months of 2021. PPP loans reduced margin and loan yield by 12 basis points and 23 basis points, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020 and 6 basis points and 14 basis points, respectively, in the first nine months of 2020.

The impact from interest income collected on problem loans and purchase accounting adjustments on loans to total interest income on loans held for investment, loan yield and net interest margin is shown in the following table for the periods presented.

(1)Includes additional interest income recognized in connection with the acceleration of paydowns and payoffs from purchased loans of $1,649 and $2,286, for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact was $4,145 and $6,205 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This additional interest income increased total loan yield by 7 basis points and 8 basis points for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, while increasing net interest margin by 5 and 7 basis points for the same respective periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the additional interest income increased total loan yields by 5 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively, while increasing net interest margin by 4 basis points and 7 basis points, respectively.

For the third quarter of 2021, interest income on loans held for sale (consisting of mortgage loans held for sale), on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $768 to $2,376 from $3,144 for the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income on loans held for sale (consisting of mortgage loans held for sale), on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $128 to $8,980 from $9,108 for the same period in 2020.

Investment income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $1,307 to $8,985 for the third quarter of 2021 from $7,678 for the third quarter of 2020. Investment income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $1,765 to $23,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $25,757 for the same period in 2020. The tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio for the third quarter of 2021 was 1.59%, down 82 basis points from 2.41% for the same period in 2020. The tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 1.76%, down 92 basis points from 2.68% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in taxable equivalent yield on securities was a result of the current interest rate environment. The growth in the Company’s investment securities portfolio during the year has helped offset the loss of investment income due to lower yield on securities.

Interest expense was $10,721 for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $15,792 for the same period in 2020. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $34,247 as compared to $57,536 for the same period in 2020.

Interest expense on deposits was $6,972 and $11,810 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cost of total deposits was 0.21% and 0.40% for the same respective periods. Interest expense on deposits was $22,920 and $44,175 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the cost of total deposits was 0.24% and 0.53% for the same respective periods. The decrease in both deposit expense and cost is attributable to the Company’s efforts to reduce deposit rates as they reprice in the current low interest rate environment. During 2021, the Company has continued its efforts to grow non-interest bearing deposits, and such deposits represent 33.89% of total deposits at September 30, 2021 compared to 30.56% of total deposits at December 31, 2020. The growth in non-interest bearing deposits during the year to date has been primarily driven by government stimulus payments and client sentiment. Low cost deposits continue to be the preferred choice of funding; however, the Company may rely on wholesale borrowings when rates are advantageous.

Interest expense on total borrowings was $3,749 and $3,982 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest expense on total borrowings was $11,327 and $13,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is a result of lower average borrowings.

A more detailed discussion of the cost of our funding sources is set forth below under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Item.

Total noninterest income includes fees generated from deposit services and other fees and commissions, income from our insurance, wealth management and mortgage banking operations, realized gains on the sale of securities and all other noninterest income. Our focus is to develop and enhance our products that generate noninterest income in order to diversify revenue sources. Noninterest income was $50,755 for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $70,928 for the same period in 2020. Noninterest income was $179,402 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $172,668 for the same period in 2020. During the third quarter of 2021, with the exception of mortgage banking operations, all categories of noninterest income increased when compared to the prior period as market activity began to rebound with the lifting of pandemic-related restrictions across our footprint.

Service charges on deposit accounts include maintenance fees on accounts, per item charges, account enhancement charges for additional packaged benefits and overdraft fees. Service charges on deposit accounts were $9,337 and $7,486 for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $26,818 and $23,388 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Overdraft fees, the largest component of service charges on deposits, were $4,876 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $4,299 for the same period in 2020. These fees were $13,830 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $13,935 for the same period in 2020.

Fees and commissions were $3,837 during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $3,402 for the same period in 2020, and were $11,847 for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to $9,427 for the same period in 2020. Fees and commissions

include fees related to deposit services, such as ATM fees and interchange fees on debit card transactions. For the third quarter of 2021, interchange fees were $2,685 as compared to $2,323 for the same period in 2020. Interchange fees were $7,901 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $6,534 for the same period in 2020.

Through Renasant Insurance, we offer a range of commercial and personal insurance products through major insurance carriers. Income earned on insurance products was $2,829 and $2,681 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was $7,488 and $6,797 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Contingency income is a bonus received from the insurance underwriters and is based both on commission income and claims experience on our clients’ policies during the previous year. Increases and decreases in contingency income are reflective of corresponding increases and decreases in the number of claims paid by insurance carriers. Contingency income, which is included in “Other noninterest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $4 and $8 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1,057 and $926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our Wealth Management segment has two primary divisions: Trust and Financial Services. The Trust division operates on a custodial basis which includes administration of benefit plans, as well as accounting and money management for trust accounts. The division manages a number of trust accounts inclusive of personal and corporate benefit accounts, IRAs, and custodial accounts. Fees for managing these accounts are based on changes in market values of the assets under management in the account, with the amount of the fee depending on the type of account. The Financial Services division provides specialized products and services to our customers, which include fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds, and stocks offered through a third party provider. Wealth Management revenue was $5,371 for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $4,364 for the same period in 2020 and was $15,182 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $12,190 for the same period in 2020. The market value of assets under management or administration was $4,687,357 and $3,890,374 at September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Mortgage banking income is derived from the origination and sale of mortgage loans and the servicing of mortgage loans that the Company has sold but retained the right to service. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market. Originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $966,651 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $1,253,742 for the same period in 2020. Mortgage loan originations totaled $3,189,474 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $3,277,576 for the same period in 2020. While mortgage loan originations remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels, margins have compressed as the interest rate environment has begun to rise and housing inventories are below demand. Mortgage banking income was $23,292 and $49,714 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was $94,878 for the first nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $110,739 for the same period in 2020. The table below presents the components of mortgage banking income included in noninterest income for the periods presented.

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income is derived from changes in the cash surrender value of the bank-owned life insurance policies and proceeds received upon the death of covered individuals. BOLI income was $1,602 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $1,267 for the same period in 2020, and $5,318 for the first nine months of September 30, 2021 as compared to $3,759 for the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to the $1,222 of life insurance proceeds received during the first nine months of 2021. There were no life insurance proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company purchased $50,000 in BOLI policies during the first nine months of 2021.

Other noninterest income was $3,723 and $2,014 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was $15,750 and $6,337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Other noninterest income includes income from our SBA banking division and other miscellaneous income and can fluctuate based on production in our SBA banking division and recognition of other seasonal income items. In the first nine months of 2021, the Company entered

Noninterest expense was $103,999 and $116,510 for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was $328,711 and $349,836 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $6,291 to $69,115 for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $75,406 for the same period in 2020. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $9,852 to $218,104 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $227,956 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits is primarily due to a decrease in incentive expenses recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the cost savings realized by the voluntary early retirement program offered during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Data processing costs increased to $5,277 in the third quarter of 2021 from $5,259 for the same period in 2020 and were $16,380 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $15,312 for the same period in 2020. The Company continues to examine new and existing contracts to negotiate favorable terms to offset the increased variable cost components of our data processing costs, such as new accounts and increased transaction volume.

Net occupancy and equipment expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $11,748, down from $13,296 for the same period in 2020. These expenses for the first nine months of 2021 were $35,660, down from $40,927 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense is primarily attributable to the restructuring and non-renewal of certain branch leases.

Expenses related to other real estate owned for the third quarter of 2021 were $168 as compared to $1,033 for the same period in 2020 and were $313 and $2,071, respectively, for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020. Expenses on other real estate owned included write downs of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned of $290 and $1,647 for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, other real estate owned with a cost basis of $4,007 and $6,047, respectively, was sold, resulting in a net gain of $74 and net loss of $27, respectively.

Professional fees include fees for legal and accounting services, such as routine litigation matters, external audit services as well as assistance in complying with newly-enacted and existing banking and governmental regulations. Professional fees were $2,972 for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $3,197 for the same period in 2020 and $8,566 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $8,355 for the same period in 2020.

Advertising and public relations expense was $2,922 for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $2,240 for the same period in 2020, and $9,274 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $8,560 for the same period in 2020.

Amortization of intangible assets totaled $1,481 and $1,733 for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $4,618 and $5,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This amortization relates to finite-lived intangible assets which are being amortized over the useful lives as determined at acquisition. These finite-lived intangible assets have remaining estimated useful lives ranging from approximately 2 years to 8 years.

Communication expenses, those expenses incurred for communication to clients and between employees, were $2,198 for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $2,319 for the same period in 2020. Communication expenses were $6,781 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $6,698 for the same period in 2020.

Other noninterest expense includes the provision for unfunded commitments, business development and travel expenses, other discretionary expenses, loan fees expense and other miscellaneous fees and operating expenses. Other noninterest expense was $8,118 and $28,708 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $11,999 and $34,377 for the same periods in 2020. During the third quarter of 2021 there was a recovery of provision for unfunded commitments of $200. The provision for unfunded commitments was $2,700 and $8,700 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(1)A reconciliation of this financial measure from GAAP to non-GAAP can be found under the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” heading at the end of this Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The efficiency ratio is a measure of productivity in the banking industry. (This ratio is a measure of our ability to turn expenses into revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar that we must expend to generate a dollar of revenue.) The Company calculates this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and noninterest income. The table above shows the impact on the efficiency ratio of items that (1) the Company does not consider to be part of our core operating activities, such as amortization of intangibles, or (2) the Company incurred in connection with certain transactions where management is unable to accurately predict the timing of when these items will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount of such items, such as expenses or recoveries incurred in connection with our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our MSR valuation adjustment and the provision for unfunded commitments. We remain committed to aggressively managing our costs within the framework of our business model. Our goal is to improve the efficiency ratio over time from currently reported levels as a result of revenue growth while at the same time controlling noninterest expenses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 was $11,185 and $7,612, respectively. The effective tax rates for those periods were 21.84% and 21.58%, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $35,572 and $13,022, respectively. The effective tax rates for those periods were 22.10% and 20.28%, respectively. In the second quarter of 2021 the Company received a benefit from a one-time state tax credit investment. The investment of $3,112 was fully amortized in other noninterest expense and the credit of $3,460 reduced income taxes for the second quarter of 2021.

Risk Management

The management of risk is an on-going process. Primary risks that are associated with the Company include credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Credit risk and interest rate risk are discussed below, while liquidity risk is discussed in the next subsection under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Credit Risk and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments

COVID-19 Update. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s credit quality metrics remained stable. The Company is continuing to monitor all asset categories given that any category or borrower could be negatively impacted by the pandemic, with enhanced monitoring of loans remaining on deferral under the Company’s loan deferral programs implemented in 2020 and described in more detail in the section entitled “Credit Risk and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments” in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as a focus on those industries more highly impacted by the pandemic, primarily the hospitality and senior living industries. At September 30, 2021, the Company had 41 loans (not in thousands) on deferral with an aggregate balance of approximately $3,360, or 0.04% of our loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) by dollar value. In accordance with the applicable guidance, none of these loans are considered “restructured loans” and thus are not included in the discussion of our restructured loans below.

Management of Credit Risk. Inherent in any lending activity is credit risk, that is, the risk of loss should a borrower default. Credit risk is monitored and managed on an ongoing basis by our credit administration department, our problem asset resolution committee and the Board of Directors Credit Review Committee. Oversight of the Company’s lending operations (including adherence to our policies and procedures governing the loan approval and monitoring process), credit quality and loss mitigation are major concerns of credit administration and these committees. The Company’s central appraisal review department reviews and approves third-party appraisals obtained by the Company on real estate collateral and monitors loan maturities to ensure updated appraisals are obtained. This department is managed by a State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser and employs three additional State Certified General Real Estate Appraisers and four real estate evaluators. In addition, we maintain a loan review staff to independently monitor loan quality and lending practices. Loan review personnel monitor and, if necessary, adjust the grades assigned to loans through periodic examination, focusing their review on

Table of Contents

commercial and real estate loans rather than consumer and small balance consumer mortgage loans, such as 1-4 family mortgage loans.

In compliance with loan policy, the lending staff is given lending limits based on their knowledge and experience. In addition, each lending officer’s prior performance is evaluated for credit quality and compliance as a tool for establishing and enhancing lending limits. Before funds are advanced on consumer and commercial loans below certain dollar thresholds, loans are reviewed and scored using centralized underwriting methodologies. Loan quality, or “risk-rating,” grades are assigned based upon certain factors, which include the scoring of the loans. This information is used to assist management in monitoring credit quality. Loan requests of amounts greater than an officer’s lending limit are reviewed for approval by senior credit officers.

For loans with a commercial purpose, risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration and loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. Loan grades range from 1 to 9, with 1 rated loans having the least credit risk.

Management’s problem asset resolution committee and the Board of Directors’ Credit Review Committee monitor loans that are past due or those that have been downgraded and placed on the Company’s internal watch list due to a decline in the collateral value or cash flow of the borrower; the committees then adjust loan grades accordingly. This information is used to assist management in monitoring credit quality. When the ultimate collectability of a loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, the loan is placed on nonaccrual.

After all collection efforts have failed, collateral securing loans may be repossessed and sold or, for loans secured by real estate, foreclosure proceedings initiated. The collateral is sold at public auction for fair market value (based upon recent appraisals as described above), with fees associated with the foreclosure being deducted from the sales price. The purchase price is applied to the outstanding loan balance. If the loan balance is greater than the sales proceeds, the deficient balance is sent to the Board of Directors’ Credit Review Committee for charge-off approval. These charge-offs reduce the allowance for credit losses on loans. Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through the provision for credit losses on loans.

The Company’s practice is to charge off estimated losses as soon as such losses are identified and reasonably quantified. Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2021 were $4,906, or 0.06% of average loans (annualized), compared to net charge-offs of $2,898, or 0.04% of average loans (annualized), for the same period in 2020. The charge-offs were fully reserved for in the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans; Provision for Credit Losses on Loans. The allowance for credit losses is available to absorb credit losses inherent in the loans held for investment portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis.

The appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses, including loans evaluated on a collective (pooled) basis and those evaluated on an individual basis as set forth in ASC 326. The credit loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio segments. Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes, and the results of those evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and in the Company’s process for the estimation of expected credit losses. Credit quality monitoring procedures and indicators can include an assessment of problem loans, the types of loans, historical loss experience, new lending products, emerging credit trends, changes in the size and character of loan categories, and other factors, including our risk rating system, regulatory guidance and economic conditions, such as the unemployment rate and GDP growth in the national and local economies as well as trends in the market values of underlying collateral securing loans, all as determined based on input from management, loan review staff and other sources. This evaluation is complex and inherently subjective, as it requires estimates by management that are inherently uncertain and therefore susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and provision for credit loss in those future periods.

The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses has two basic components: first, a collective or pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics; and second, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans.

•The allowance for credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans is calculated on a collective (or pooled) basis, where such loans are segregated into loan portfolio segments based upon similarity of credit risk. In

The Company uses two CECL models: (1) a loss rate model, based on average historical life-of-loan loss rates, is used for the Real Estate - 1-4 Family Mortgage, Real Estate - Construction and the Installment Loans to Individuals portfolio segments, and (2) for the Commercial, Real Estate - Commercial Mortgage and Lease Financing portfolio segments, the Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model, which calculates an expected loss percentage for each loan pool by considering (a) the probability of default, based on the migration of loans from performing (using risk ratings) to default using life-of-loan analysis periods, and (b) the historical severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses incurred per loan pool.

The historical loss rates calculated as described above are adjusted, as necessary, for both internal and external qualitative factors where there are differences in the historical loss data of the Company and current or projected future conditions. Internal factors include loss history, changes in credit quality (including movement between risk ratings) and/or credit concentration and the nature and volume of the respective loan portfolio segments. External factors include current and reasonable and supportable forecasted economic conditions and changes in collateral values. These factors are used to adjust the historical loss rates (as described above) to ensure that they reflect management’s expectation of future conditions based on a reasonable and supportable forecast period. To the extent the lives of the loans in the portfolio extend beyond the period for which a reasonable and supportable forecast can be made, when necessary, the models immediately revert back to the historical loss rates adjusted for qualitative factors related to current conditions.

•For loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, an individual analysis is performed to determine the expected credit loss. If the respective loan is collateral dependent (that is, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral), the expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of collateral is initially based on external appraisals. Generally, collateral values for loans for which measurement of expected losses is dependent on the fair value of such collateral are updated every twelve months, either from external third parties or in-house certified appraisers. Third-party appraisals are obtained from a pre-approved list of independent, third-party, local appraisal firms. The fair value of the collateral derived from the external appraisal is then adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral. Other acceptable methods for determining the expected credit losses for individually evaluated loans (typically used for loans that are not collateral dependent) is a discounted cash flow approach or, if applicable, an observable market price. Once the expected credit loss amount is determined, an allowance equal to such expected credit loss is included in the allowance for credit losses.

In addition to its quarterly analysis of the allowance for credit losses, on a regular basis management and the Board of Directors review loan ratios. These ratios include the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans, the provision for credit losses as a percentage of average loans, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans and the allowance coverage on nonperforming loans, among others. Also, management reviews past due ratios by officer, community bank and the Company as a whole.

The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans by loan category and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans as of the dates presented:

The provision for credit losses on loans charged to operating expense is an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses on loans at a level that is believed to be adequate to meet the inherent risks of losses in our loan portfolio. The Company recorded a negative provision (recovery) for credit losses of $1,200 during the

third quarter and first nine months of 2021, as compared to a provision for credit losses on loans of $23,100 in the third quarter of 2020 and $76,350 in the first nine months of 2020. The Company’s allowance for credit loss model considers economic projections, primarily the national unemployment rate and GDP, over a reasonable and supportable period of two years. Based on the continual improvements in these forecasts over the last few quarters, the Company’s allowance model indicated that a release of $1,200 of the allowance for credit losses was appropriate during the third quarter of 2021.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments; Provision for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments. The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, which is included in the “Other liabilities” line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimates the amount of expected losses on unfunded loan commitments by calculating a likelihood of funding over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company and applying the loss factors used in the allowance for credit losses on loans methodology described above to unfunded commitments for each loan type. No credit loss estimate is reported for off-balance-sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. A roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is shown in the tables below.

Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned. Nonperforming loans are those on which the accrual of interest has stopped or loans which are contractually 90 days past due on which interest continues to accrue. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt or when the payment of principal or interest has been contractually 90 days past due, unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management, the problem asset resolution committee and our loan review staff closely monitor loans that are considered to be nonperforming.

Other real estate owned consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value based on appraised value less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of foreclosure of properties are charged against the allowance for credit losses on loans. Reductions in the carrying value subsequent to acquisition are charged to earnings and are included in “Other real estate owned” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following tables provide details of the Company’s non purchased and purchased nonperforming assets as of the dates presented.

Total nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.57% as of September 30, 2021 as compared to 0.51% and 0.41% as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company’s coverage ratio, or its allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of nonperforming loans, was 299.68% as of September 30, 2021 as compared to 317.55% as of December 31, 2020 and 367.05% as of September 30, 2020.

Management has evaluated the aforementioned loans and other loans classified as nonperforming and believes that all nonperforming loans have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2021. Management also continually monitors past due loans for potential credit quality deterioration. Total loans 30-89 days past due but still accruing interest were $14,806 at September 30, 2021 as compared to $26,286 at December 31, 2020 and $16,644 at September 30, 2020.

Although not classified as nonperforming loans, restructured loans are another category of assets that contribute to our credit risk. Restructured loans are those for which concessions have been granted to the borrower due to a deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition and are performing in accordance with the new terms. Such concessions may include reduction in interest rates or deferral of interest or principal payments. In evaluating whether to restructure a loan, management analyzes the long-term financial condition of the borrower, including guarantor and collateral support, to determine whether the proposed concessions will increase the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest. Restructured loans that are not performing in accordance with their restructured terms that are either contractually 90 days past due or placed on nonaccrual status are reported as nonperforming loans.

As shown below, restructured loans totaled $20,183 at September 30, 2021 as compared to $20,448 at December 31, 2020 and $20,322 at September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2021, loans restructured through interest rate concessions represented 34% of total restructured loans, while loans restructured by a concession in payment terms represented the remainder.

Interest Rate Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and therefore differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets and inventories. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in lending and deposit-taking activities. Management believes a significant impact on the Company’s financial results stems from

Table of Contents

our ability to react to changes in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.

Because of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our profitability, the Board of Directors and management actively monitor and manage our interest rate risk exposure. We have an Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) that is authorized by the Board of Directors to monitor our interest rate sensitivity and to make decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital. The ALCO uses an asset/liability model as the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk associated with changing market rates. The model is used to perform both net interest income forecast simulations for multiple year horizons and economic value of equity (“EVE”) analyses, each under various interest rate scenarios, which could impact the results presented in the table below.

Net interest income simulations measure the short and medium-term earnings exposure from changes in market interest rates in a rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under various hypothetical rate scenarios. EVE measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time for a given set of market rate assumptions. An increase in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates an improvement in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in effect over the life of the current balance sheet.

The following table presents the projected impact of a change in interest rates on (1) static EVE and (2) earnings at risk (that is, net interest income) for the 1-12 and 13-24 month periods commencing October 1, 2021, in each case as compared to the result under rates present in the market on September 30, 2021. The changes in interest rates assume an instantaneous and parallel shift in the yield curve and do not account for changes in the slope of the yield curve.


	Percentage Change In:
Immediate Change in Rates of (in basis points):	Economic Value Equity (EVE)	Earning at Risk (Net Interest Income)
	Static	1-12 Months	13-24 Months


+200	11.83%	16.87%	22.94%
+100	7.20%	8.57%	12.20%

The rate shock results for the net interest income simulations for the next twenty-four months produce an asset sensitive position at September 30, 2021 and are all within the parameters set by the Board of Directors. The preceding measures assume no change in the size or asset/liability compositions of the balance sheet, and they do not reflect future actions the ALCO may undertake in response to such changes in interest rates.

The scenarios assume instantaneous movements in interest rates in increments of plus 100 and 200. As interest rates are adjusted over a period of time, it is our strategy to proactively change the volume and mix of our balance sheet in order to mitigate our interest rate risk. The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes requires numerous assumptions, including asset prepayment speeds, the impact of competitive factors on our pricing of loans and deposits, how responsive our deposit repricing is to the change in market rates and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience; however, such assumptions may not necessarily reflect the manner or timing in which cash flows, asset yields and liability costs respond to changes in market rates. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results will differ from simulated results.

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including interest rate contracts such as swaps, caps and/or floors, as part of its ongoing efforts to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure and to facilitate the needs of its customers. The Company enters into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract position with other financial institutions. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of default by its commercial customers, through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. At September 30, 2021, the Company had notional amounts of $190,200 on interest rate contracts with corporate customers and $190,200 in offsetting interest rate contracts with other financial institutions to mitigate the Company’s rate exposure on its corporate customers’ contracts and certain fixed rate loans.

Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments with its customers to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the commitments to fund fixed-rate and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans and also enters into forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors.

The Company also enters into forward interest rate swap contracts on its FHLB borrowings and its junior subordinated debentures that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Under each of these contracts, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a variable rate of interest based on the three-month or one-month LIBOR plus a predetermined spread. The Company entered into an interest rate swap contract on its subordinated notes that is accounted for as a fair value hedge. Under this contract, the Company pays a variable rate of interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus a predetermined spread and receives a fixed rate of interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management is the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs.

Core deposits, which are deposits excluding time deposits greater than $250,000, are the major source of funds used by the Bank to meet cash flow needs. Maintaining the ability to acquire these funds as needed in a variety of markets is the key to assuring the Bank’s liquidity. Management continually monitors the Bank’s liquidity and non-core dependency ratios to ensure compliance with targets established by the Asset/Liability Management Committee.

Our investment portfolio is another alternative for meeting liquidity needs. These assets generally have readily available markets that offer conversions to cash as needed. Within the next twelve months, the securities portfolio is forecasted to generate cash flow through principal payments and maturities equal to approximately 18.85% of the carrying value of the total securities portfolio. Securities within our investment portfolio are also used to secure certain deposit types, short-term borrowings and derivative instruments. At September 30, 2021, securities with a carrying value of $557,463 were pledged to secure public fund deposits and as collateral for short-term borrowings and derivative instruments as compared to securities with a carrying value of $614,610 similarly pledged at December 31, 2020.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds purchased and short-term and long-term advances from the FHLB. Interest is charged at the prevailing market rate on federal funds purchased and FHLB advances. There were no short-term borrowings from the FHLB at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Long-term funds obtained from the FHLB are used to match-fund fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and also are used to meet day-to-day liquidity needs, particularly when the cost of such borrowing compares favorably to the rates that we would be required to pay to attract deposits. At September 30, 2021, the balance of our outstanding long-term advances with the FHLB was $150,425 compared to $152,167 at December 31, 2020. The total amount of the remaining credit available to us from the FHLB at September 30, 2021 was $3,977,848. We also maintain lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling $180,000. These are unsecured lines of credit with the majority maturing at various times within the next twelve months. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines of credit at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

In 2016 and 2020, we accessed the capital markets to generate liquidity in the form of subordinated notes. In addition, we assumed subordinated notes in connection with our acquisition of Metropolitan BancGroup, Inc. in 2017. The carrying value of the subordinated notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $207,210 at September 30, 2021.

The following table presents, by type, the Company’s funding sources, which consist of total average deposits and borrowed funds, and the total cost of each funding source for the periods presented:

Total deposits and borrowed funds	100.00	%	100.00	%	0.34	%	0.64	%

Our strategy in choosing funds is focused on minimizing cost in the context of our balance sheet composition and interest rate risk position. Accordingly, management targets growth of noninterest-bearing deposits. While we do not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, we do influence those choices with the rates and the deposit specials we offer. We constantly monitor our funds position and evaluate the effect that various funding sources have on our financial position.

Cash and cash equivalents were $1,476,141 at September 30, 2021, as compared to $414,105 at September 30, 2020. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $372,260, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $1,355,398 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Proceeds from the sale, maturity or call of securities within our investment portfolio were $505,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $323,136 for the same period in 2020. These proceeds were primarily reinvested into the investment portfolio. Purchases of investment securities were $1,743,105 for the first nine months of 2021, as compared to $304,955 for the same period in 2020.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,125,027, as compared to $1,310,528 for the same period in 2020. Deposits increased $1,195,748 and $1,721,118 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Restrictions on Bank Dividends, Loans and Advances

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources, as well as its ability to pay dividends to its shareholders, are substantially dependent on the ability of the Renasant Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Under Mississippi law, a Mississippi bank may not pay dividends unless its earned surplus is in excess of three times capital stock. A Mississippi bank with earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock may pay a dividend, subject to the approval of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance (the “DBCF”). In addition, the FDIC also has the authority to prohibit the Bank from engaging in business practices that the FDIC considers to be unsafe or unsound, which, depending on the financial condition of the bank, could include the payment of dividends. Accordingly, the approval of the DBCF is required prior to the Bank paying dividends to the Company, and under certain circumstances the approval of the FDIC may be required.

Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At September 30, 2021, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans was $157,470. The Company maintains a $3,000 line of credit collateralized by cash with the Bank. There were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit at September 30, 2021.

These restrictions did not have any impact on the Company’s ability to meet its cash obligations in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, nor does management expect such restrictions to materially impact the Company’s ability to meet its currently-anticipated cash obligations.

Potential Demands on Liquidity from Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company enters into loan commitments and standby letters of credit in the normal course of its business. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Company’s customers. Standby letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s normal credit

Table of Contents

policies, including establishing a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, equipment, etc.) is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

Loan commitments and standby letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company in that while the borrower has the ability to draw upon these commitments at any time, these commitments often expire without being drawn upon. The Company’s unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit outstanding were as follows as of the dates presented:


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Loan commitments	$	3,058,740	$	2,749,988
Standby letters of credit	95,201		90,597

The Company closely monitors the amount of remaining future commitments to borrowers in light of prevailing economic conditions and adjusts these commitments and the provision related thereto as necessary. The Company will continue this process as new commitments are entered into or existing commitments are renewed. For a more detailed discussion related to the allowance and provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, refer to the “Risk Management” section above.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Matters

Total shareholders’ equity of the Company was $2,203,944 at September 30, 2021 compared to $2,132,733 at December 31, 2020. Book value per share was $39.53 and $37.95 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The growth in shareholders’ equity was attributable to earnings retention offset by changes in accumulated other comprehensive income and dividends declared.

The Company maintains a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The shelf registration statement, which was effective upon filing, allows the Company to raise capital from time to time through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, rights, warrants and units, or a combination thereof, subject to market conditions. Specific terms and prices will be determined at the time of any offering under a separate prospectus supplement that the Company will file with the SEC at the time of the specific offering. The proceeds of the sale of securities, if and when offered, will be used for general corporate purposes or as otherwise described in the prospectus supplement applicable to the offering and could include the expansion of the Company’s banking, insurance and wealth management operations as well as other business opportunities.

The Company repurchased $21,315 of its common stock at a weighted average price of $34.82 per share during the first nine months of 2021.

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 $50,000 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.

The Company has junior subordinated debentures with a carrying value of $111,228 at September 30, 2021, of which $107,637 is included in the Company’s Tier 1 capital. Federal Reserve guidelines limit the amount of securities that, similar to our junior subordinated debentures, are includable in Tier 1 capital, but these guidelines did not impact the debentures we include in Tier 1 capital at September 30, 2021. Although our existing junior subordinated debentures are currently unaffected by these Federal Reserve guidelines, on account of changes enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, any new trust preferred securities are not includable in Tier 1 capital. Further, if as a result of an acquisition we exceed $15,000,000 in assets, or if we make any acquisition after we have exceeded $15,000,000 in assets, we will lose Tier 1 treatment of our junior subordinated debentures.

The Company has subordinated notes with a carrying value of $207,210 at September 30, 2021, of which $197,360 is included in the Company’s Tier 2 capital.

The Company has elected to take advantage of transitional relief offered by the Federal Reserve and FDIC to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transitional period to phase out the capital benefit provided by the two-year delay.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely, an adjusted efficiency ratio and the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans, excluding PPP loans (the “adjusted allowance ratio”). The adjusted allowance ratio only excludes PPP loans; the adjusted efficiency ratio adjusts GAAP financial measures to exclude the amortization of intangible assets and certain items (such as, when applicable, COVID-19 related expenses, debt prepayment penalties, restructuring charges, provision for unfunded commitments, gains on sales of securities and asset valuation adjustments) with respect to which the Company is unable to accurately predict when these items will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount thereof. 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 items excluded when calculating non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses the adjusted efficiency ratio when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, while it uses the adjusted allowance ratio to determine the adequacy of our allowance with respect to loans not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. In addition, the Company believes that 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 the amortization of intangible assets and items such as restructuring charges and COVID-19 related expenses 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. The reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP for these financial measures are below.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Readers of this Form 10-Q should note that, because there are no standard definitions for the calculations as well as the results, the Company’s calculations may not be comparable to a similarly-titled measure presented by other companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of this measure to readers of this document. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2020. For additional information regarding our market risk, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective for ensuring that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
