Trustmark Corporation Announces First Quarter 2008 Financial Results
and Declares $0.23 Quarterly Cash Dividend
Jackson, Miss. – April 22, 2008 – Trustmark Corporation (NASDAQ:TRMK) announced net income of $26.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, which represented basic earnings per share of $0.46. Earnings per share in the first quarter of 2008 increased 9.5% when compared to the prior quarter and 4.5% when compared to figures one year earlier. Trustmark’s first quarter 2008 net income produced returns on average tangible equity and average assets of 17.59% and 1.19%, respectively. Trustmark’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per common share. The dividend is payable June 15, 2008 to shareholders of record on June 1, 2008.
Richard G. Hickson, Chairman and CEO, stated, “The diligent efforts of our associates have produced positive financial results during the first quarter. We have continued to devote significant resources to proactively manage credit risks resulting from the slowdown in residential real estate. While the duration of the economic slowdown is unknown, Trustmark has the financial strength and resolve for continued success. We are particularly pleased with the meaningful growth of internally generated tangible equity over the last year. Continued preservation and growth of capital will afford Trustmark the financial flexibility to respond to opportunities in the marketplace.”
Proactive management of credit quality
· | Nonperforming assets represented 1.21% of total loans and other real estate |
· | Net charge-offs totaled 0.69% of average loans |
· | Provision for loan losses totaled 0.80% of average loans |
Nonperforming assets totaled $87.6 million at March 31, 2008, up $14.1 million relative to the prior quarter, to represent 1.21% of total loans and other real estate. This change was largely attributable to residential real estate loans in the Corporation’s Florida Panhandle market.
Net charge-offs were $12.3 million, or 0.69% of average loans, in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $9.5 million, or 0.53% of average loans in the prior quarter. This was primarily the result of a continued lack of residential real estate sales activity in Trustmark’s Florida Panhandle market. We continue to monitor the impact of declining real estate values on borrowers and are proactively managing these situations. Trustmark’s total construction and land development exposure in the Florida Panhandle was $371.2 million at March 31, 2008.
The provision for loan losses in the first quarter was $14.2 million, which represented 0.80% of average loans while the allowance for loan losses totaled $81.8 million. Trustmark’s allocation of its allowance for loan losses represented 1.52% of commercial loans and 0.60% of consumer and home mortgage loans, resulting in an allowance to total loans of 1.17%.
Sustained net interest margin of 3.94% in falling rate environment
· | Decreased loan yields offset by lower deposit and borrowing costs |
The repositioning of the balance sheet continued during the first quarter as home mortgage and auto loans declined. Trustmark’s funding mix also improved as average deposits increased $170.9 million, or 2.5%, while average borrowings declined $261.5 million, or 28.1%, relative to the prior quarter. Lower loan yields during the quarter were effectively offset with lower deposit and borrowing costs. As a result, a net interest margin of 3.94% was sustained during the first quarter despite the falling interest rate environment.
Lower short-term interest rates during the quarter resulted in a positively sloped yield curve, creating an opportunity to enhance future net interest income through growth in investment securities. At March 31, 2008, Trustmark’s investment securities portfolio totaled $853.1 million, an increase of $135.6 million relative to year-end 2007.
Mortgage Banking
· | Mortgage production volume up 19% |
· | Increased market share in turbulent environment |
Mortgage production volume totaled $380 million during the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 19% from the prior quarter. Growth in volume, coupled with improved spreads and fees, positively impacted net interest income. In addition, noninterest income in Trustmark’s Mortgage Banking division increased $6.1 million relative to the prior quarter due to a successful mortgage servicing rights hedging strategy.
Trustmark’s highly regarded mortgage banking reputation has enabled it to take advantage of competitive disruptions and expand market share. Because Trustmark is not a subprime lender, the home mortgage and home equity loan portfolios continued to perform well.
Disciplined expense management and investments for the future
· | Noninterest expense remained below $70 million target for fourth consecutive quarter |
· | Efficiency ratio improved to 56.6% |
· | Four banking centers scheduled to open during remainder of year |
In the first quarter of 2008, noninterest expense totaled $69.8 million, marking the fourth consecutive quarter below our $70 million target. Our success in this regard was the result of on-going technology enhancements, vendor and contract management programs, and human capital management and is reflected in an improved efficiency ratio of 56.6%. While we are pleased with our progress to date, we are committed to identifying additional reengineering and efficiency opportunities to enhance shareholder value.
Trustmark continued to make investments to support revenue growth and profitability as well as reallocate resources to areas with additional growth potential. Thus far in 2008, Trustmark has opened a total of two new banking centers in the Houston and Memphis markets. Four additional banking centers are scheduled to open over the course of the year in the Biloxi, Houston, Jackson and Panama City markets.

Management believes this information will help users compare Trustmark’s current results to those of prior periods as presented in the table below.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Visa Litigation Contingency
In the first quarter of 2008, Trustmark recognized a gain of $1.5 million resulting from the Visa initial public offering. This gain more than offsets an accrual of $800 thousand that Trustmark recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007 for the Visa litigation contingency relating to the Visa USA Inc. antitrust lawsuit settlement with American Express and other pending Visa litigation (reflecting Trustmark’s share as a Visa member).
Correction of Accounting Error
Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2007 included a pre-tax benefit of $3.2 million for the correction of an error relating to the amortization of deferred loan fees, which was included in interest income on loans. Trustmark’s Management as well as the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors reviewed this accounting error utilizing Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins (SAB) Nos. 99 and 108 and believe the impact of this error was not material to the 2007 or prior period consolidated financial statements.
Hurricane Katrina
In the third quarter of 2005, immediately following in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Trustmark estimated possible pre-tax losses resulting from this storm of $11.7 million. Trustmark revised these estimates quarterly and any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the table above, net of taxes. At March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses included $564 thousand related to possible Hurricane Katrina losses.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The rollforward of the allowance for loan losses is included in the consolidated financial information. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by Management, based on estimated probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. Trustmark’s allowance for probable loan loss methodology is based on guidance provided in SAB No. 102, “Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues,” as well as on other regulatory guidance. Accordingly, Trustmark’s methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of loan and internal risk ratings, homogeneous risk pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments considering current economic events and conditions. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans and net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors, in compliance with the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses published by the governmental regulating agencies for financial services companies. Trustmark’s allocation of its allowance for loan losses represented 1.52% of commercial loans and 0.60% of consumer and home mortgage loans, resulting in an allowance of 1.17% at March 31, 2008, up from 1.13% at December 31, 2007.

Note 3 – Mortgage Banking
Trustmark utilizes derivative instruments to offset changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) attributable to changes in interest rates. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in mortgage banking income, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of MSR, as shown in the accompanying table. MSR fair values represent the effect of present value decay and the effect of changes in interest rates. Ineffectiveness of hedging MSR fair value is measured by comparing total hedge cost to the fair value of the MSR asset attributable to market changes. The impact of implementing this strategy resulted in a net positive ineffectiveness of $7.4 million, $2.0 million and $268 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively.
