Balance Sheet Management

• Loans HFI increased $83.4 million, or 0.6%, during the quarter and $448.0 million, or 3.4%, year-over-year
• Deposits increased $515.1 million, or 3.4%, during the quarter and $390.0 million, or 2.6%, year-over-year
• Maintained strong capital position with CET1 ratio of 11.88% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.33%
• Repurchased $37.1 million, or approximately 1.0 million shares, of common stock during first nine months of 2025

Loans HFI totaled $13.5 billion at September 30, 2025, reflecting an increase of $83.4 million, or 0.6%, linked-quarter and $448.0 million, or 3.4%, year-over-year. The linked-quarter growth was driven by other real estate secured loans, other loans and leases, commercial and industrial loans, and state and other political subdivision loans, which were offset in part by declines in nonfarm, nonresidential loans and construction, land development and other land loans. Trustmark's loan portfolio remains well-diversified by loan type and geography.

Deposits totaled $15.6 billion at September 30, 2025, up $515.1 million, or 3.4%, from the prior quarter and $390.0 million, or 2.6%, year-over-year. The linked-quarter increase reflected interest-bearing deposit growth of $329.4 million, or 2.7%, and noninterest-bearing deposit growth of $185.7 million, or 5.9%. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 21.2% of total deposits at September 30, 2025. Trustmark continued to maintain a strong liquidity position as loans HFI represented 86.7% of total deposits at the end of the third quarter. Interest-bearing deposit costs totaled 2.32% for the third quarter, an increase of 4 basis points linked-quarter while the cost of total deposits was 1.84%, an increase of 4 basis points from the prior quarter.

During the third quarter, Trustmark repurchased $11.0 million, or approximately 280 thousand of its common shares. During the first nine months of 2025, Trustmark repurchased $37.1 million, or approximately 1.0 million common shares. As previously announced, Trustmark's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program effective January 1, 2025, under which $100.0 million of Trustmark's outstanding shares may be acquired through December 31, 2025. The repurchase program, which is subject to market conditions and management discretion, will continue to be implemented through open market repurchases or privately negotiated transactions. At September 30, 2025, Trustmark's tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 9.64%, while the total risk-based capital ratio was 14.33%. Tangible book value per share was $29.60 at September 30, 2025, an increase of 3.0% from the prior quarter and 10.1% from the prior year.

Credit Quality

• Net charge-offs totaled $4.4 million in the third quarter, including one charge-off on an individually analyzed loan totaling $3.1 million that was reserved for in prior periods; NCOs represented 0.13% of average loans
• Provision for credit losses was $1.7 million in the third quarter
• Allowance for credit losses (ACL) represented 1.22% of loans HFI and 239.69% of nonaccrual loans, excluding individually analyzed loans, at September 30, 2025

Nonaccrual loans totaled $84.0 million at September 30, 2025, reflecting an increase of $3.0 million from the prior quarter. Other real estate totaled $8.3 million, reflecting a decrease of $647 thousand from the prior quarter. Collectively, nonperforming assets totaled $92.3 million at September 30, 2025, up $2.3 million from the prior quarter. Nonperforming assets represented 0.67% of loans HFI and loans held for sale (HFS) at September 30, 2025.

The provision for credit losses for loans HFI was $1.4 million in the third quarter and was primarily attributable to loan and lease growth and changes in the macroeconomic forecast partially offset by net changes in the qualitative factors. The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $295 thousand in the third quarter, primarily driven by changes in the macroeconomic forecast and an increase in unfunded commitments partially offset by net changes in the qualitative factors. Collectively, the provision for credit losses totaled $1.7 million in the third quarter compared to $4.7 million in the prior quarter and $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Allocation of Trustmark's $165.2 million ACL on loans HFI represented 1.00% of commercial loans and 1.95% of consumer and home mortgage loans, resulting in an ACL to total loans HFI of 1.22% at September 30, 2025. Management believes the level of the ACL is commensurate with the credit losses currently expected in the loan portfolio.

Revenue Generation

• Total revenue expanded to $202.4 million in the third quarter, an increase of 1.9% linked-quarter and 5.3% year-over-year
• Net interest income (FTE) totaled $165.2 million in the third quarter, up 2.4% linked-quarter and 4.6% year-over-year
• Noninterest income totaled $39.9 million in the third quarter, up 0.1% from the prior quarter and 6.3% year-over-year

Revenue in the third quarter totaled $202.4 million, an increase of 1.9% from the prior quarter and 5.3% year-over-year. The linked-quarter increase reflects growth in net interest income while noninterest income remained stable. The year-over-year increase reflects higher net interest income and noninterest income. Net interest income (FTE) in the third quarter totaled $165.2 million, resulting in a net interest margin of 3.83%, up 2 basis points from the prior quarter. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to increases in the yields for the loans HFI and HFS and the securities portfolios partially offset by the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

Noninterest income in the third quarter totaled $39.9 million, an increase of 0.1%, from the prior quarter and 6.3% year-over-year. Excluding a $272 thousand net loss on sale of bank facilities in the second quarter, noninterest income declined $231 thousand linked-quarter. Linked-quarter increases in service charges on deposit accounts and wealth management were offset in part by declines in bank card and other fees and mortgage banking, net. The year-over-year increase was principally attributable to growth in mortgage banking, wealth management and bank card revenue offset in part by lower other, net and service charges on deposit accounts revenue.

Mortgage loan production in the third quarter totaled $389.4 million, down 8.7% from the prior quarter and 0.7% year-over-year. Mortgage banking revenue totaled $8.2 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $420 thousand, or 4.9%, linked-quarter and an increase of $2.1 million, or 33.7%, year-over-year. The linked-quarter decrease was principally due to lower gain on sales of loans, net and increased net negative hedge ineffectiveness, which was offset in part by increased mortgage servicing income, net. The year-over-year increase was principally attributable to increased gain on sales of loans, net, mortgage servicing revenue and improved net hedge ineffectiveness.

Wealth management revenue in the third quarter totaled $9.8 million, an increase of $160 thousand, or 1.7%, from the prior quarter and $510 thousand, or 5.5%, year-over-year. The linked-quarter growth reflected increased investment services revenue offset in part by lower trust management revenue. The year-over-year growth reflected increased trust management and investment services revenue.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $11.3 million in the third quarter, a seasonal increase of $666 thousand, or 6.3%, from the prior quarter and relatively unchanged year-over-year. Bank card and other fees totaled $8.3 million in the third quarter, down $436 thousand, or 5.0%, from the prior quarter and up $387 thousand, or 4.9%, year-over-year. The linked-quarter change is principally due to a seasonal reduction in miscellaneous other fees and along with a decline in customer derivative revenue while the year-over-year increase reflects increased customer derivative revenue.

Noninterest Expense

• Total noninterest expense increased $5.8 million, or 4.7%, linked-quarter, including approximately $2.3 million in nonroutine items
• Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $3.2 million, or 4.7%, linked-quarter principally due to annual merit increases and annual incentive accruals
• Other real estate expense, net increased $1.8 million, which reflects the establishment of a $1.4 million reserve for a single property

Noninterest expense totaled $130.9 million in the third quarter, an increase of $5.8 million, or 4.7%, from the prior quarter and $7.7 million, or 6.2%, year-over-year. Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $71.5 million in the third quarter, an increase of $3.2 million, or 4.7%, linked-quarter and $4.8 million, or 7.2%, year-over-year. The linked-quarter change is principally due to annual salary merit increases effective as of July 1, increased annual incentive accruals, and the cost of additional customer relationship managers and production talent in key markets associated with corporate strategic initiatives.

Services and fees totaled $28.8 million in the third quarter, an increase of $1.8 million, or 6.6%, linked-quarter and $3.1 million, or 11.9%, year-over-year. Services and fees in the third quarter include approximately $900 thousand in nonroutine items including professional fees related to the conversion to a state banking charter and other corporate strategic initiatives. Net occupancy expense totaled $7.8 million, up $267 thousand, or 3.6%, linked-quarter and $376 thousand, or 5.1%, year-over-year. Total other expense in the third quarter was $16.5 million, an increase of $359 thousand, or 2.2%, linked-quarter and a decrease of $852 thousand, or 4.9%, year-over-year. The linked-quarter change is attributable to increased other real estate expense, net offset in part by lower other miscellaneous expense, FDIC assessment expense and loan expense. The year-over-year decline is attributable to lower FDIC assessment expense and other real estate expense, net offset in part by higher loan expense and other miscellaneous expense.
