Loans

Total loans were $23.6 billion at September 30, 2025, up $134.8 million, or 1%, from June 30, 2025. Loan growth was realized across commercial real estate-owner occupied loans, commercial real estate-income producing loans, and equipment finance loans, partially offset by higher loan payoffs and lower credit line utilization.

Average loans totaled $23.4 billion for the third quarter of 2025, up $176.7 million, or 1%, linked-quarter. For 2025, we expect low-single digit growth both year-over-year and in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Deposits

Total deposits at September 30, 2025 were $28.7 billion, down $386.9 million, or 1%, from June 30, 2025.

Noninterest-bearing DDAs totaled $10.3 billion at September 30, 2025, down $333.5 million, or 3%, from June 30, 2025, and comprised 36% of total period-end deposits. The linked-quarter decrease in noninterest-bearing DDA was related to unfavorable seasonality, expected outflows of temporary balances, and a decrease in public fund DDA balances.

Interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits totaled $11.8 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025, up $278.0 million, or 2%, linked-quarter. This increase was due to competitive products and pricing.

Compared to June 30, 2025, retail time deposits of $3.8 billion were down $145.4 million, or 4%, driven by maturity concentration and promotional rate reductions during the third quarter of 2025. Interest-bearing public fund deposits decreased $186.0 billion, or 6%, linked-quarter, totaling $2.8 billion at September 30, 2025. The decrease in interest-bearing public funds resulted from seasonal outflows.

Average deposits for the third quarter of 2025 were $28.5 billion, down $157.8 million, or 1%, linked-quarter. Management expects 2025 period-end deposit levels to be up low-single digits from December 31, 2024 levels.

Asset Quality

The total allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $341.5 million at September 30, 2025, up $1.2 million, or less than 1%, from June 30, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, the company recorded a provision for credit losses of $12.7 million, compared to $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. There were $11.4 million of net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2025, or 0.19% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $17.8 million, or 0.31% of average total loans in the second quarter of 2025. The ratio of ACL to period-end loans was 1.45% at September 30, 2025, consistent with June 30, 2025.

Criticized commercial loans totaled $549.2 million, or 3.01% of total commercial loans, at September 30, 2025, compared to $569.3 million, or 3.15% of total commercial loans, at June 30, 2025. Nonaccrual loans totaled $113.6 million, or 0.48% of total loans, at September 30, 2025, compared to $94.9 million, or 0.40% of total loans, at June 30, 2025. ORE and foreclosed assets were $11.1 million at September 30, 2025, down $15.7 million, or 59%, compared to June 30, 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (NIM)

Net interest income (TE) for the third quarter of 2025 was $282.3 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 1%, from the second quarter of 2025. The net interest margin (NIM) (TE) was 3.49% in the third quarter of 2025, flat linked-quarter, as securities yields (+2 bps) and better earning assets mix and higher average loans (+2 bps), were offset by an unfavorable other borrowings volumes and rates (-4 bps).

Average earning assets were $32.2 billion for the third quarter of 2025, up $132.5 million, or less than 1%, from the second quarter of 2025.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $106.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, up $7.5 million, or 8%, from the second quarter of 2025.

Service charges on deposits were up $1.0 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2025 due to higher client account activity. Bank card and ATM fees were down $0.2 million, or 1%, from the second quarter of 2025.

Investment and annuity income and insurance fees were up $3.9 million, or 37%, linked-quarter, related to higher annuity sales and higher fees earned on investment trading. Trust fees were up $1.5 million, or 6% linked-quarter, due to an additional month of revenue from the acquisition of Sabal Trust Company. Fees from secondary mortgage operations totaled $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, down $0.7 million, or 16%, linked-quarter.

Other noninterest income was $16.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, up $2.0 million, or 14%, from the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher syndication fees, gains on the sale of leases and SBA loans, and higher BOLI income, partially offset by lower SBIC income.

Noninterest Expense & Taxes

Noninterest expense totaled $212.8 million, down $3.2 million, or 1% linked-quarter. There were no supplemental disclosure items in the third quarter of 2025. The second quarter of 2025 included $5.9 million of supplemental disclosure items related to one-time expenses incurred due to the acquisition of Sabal Trust Company.

Personnel expense totaled $122.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, up $5.5 million, or 5%, linked-quarter, or up $6.9 million, or 6%, linked quarter adjusted for Sabal Trust Company acquisition costs. This increase was related to hiring efforts, one additional work day, and higher incentive expenses.

Net gains on ORE and other foreclosed assets totaled $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net expense of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Other expenses totaled $70.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, down $7.2 million, or 9%, linked-quarter, or down $2.8 million, or 4%, linked quarter adjusted for Sabal Trust Company acquisition costs. This decrease is primarily related to lower data processing and professional services expense. Prior quarter's other expenses included $4.5 million of one-time expenses included in the supplemental disclosure items related to the acquisition of Sabal Trust Company.

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was 20.5%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

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