Exhibit 99.1 [OBJECT OMITTED] News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 19, 2005 Trustmark Announces First Quarter Earnings Jackson, Miss. - Trustmark Corporation (NASDAQ:TRMK) announced basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.47 for the first quarter of 2005, compared to $0.46 for the first quarter of 2004. During the first three months of 2005, earnings totaled $26.8 million. Trustmark's first quarter net income produced annualized returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets of 14.42% and 1.33%, respectively. At March 31, 2005, Trustmark reported total loans of $5.6 billion, total assets of $8.2 billion, total deposits of $5.5 billion and shareholders' equity of $731.5 million. Richard G. Hickson, Chairman and CEO of Trustmark Corporation, remarked, "Our expansion efforts in Houston and the Florida Panhandle, along with solid performance in our Jackson and Memphis markets, have contributed to Trustmark's growth. Average loans in the first quarter of 2005 increased $425.6 million, or 8.4%, while average deposits grew $333.7 million, or 6.4%, when compared to figures one year earlier. Increasing contributions from wealth management and insurance services, combined with the solid profitability of our traditional banking franchise, have enhanced Trustmark's earnings. We appreciate the confidence our customers have placed in Trustmark and commend our associates for their dedication to becoming a premier financial services company in our marketplace." During the first quarter, higher interest rates increased the value of Trustmark's home mortgage servicing rights. Consequently, Trustmark reversed non-cash mortgage servicing impairment charges recorded in previous quarters, which increased the company's first quarter net income by $1.7 million, or $0.029 per share. Additional non-cash recoveries of mortgage servicing impairment could occur if interest rates rise, refinancing slows and the expected life of home mortgage loans lengthens. Trustmark is a financial services company providing banking and financial solutions through over 145 offices and 2,600 associates in Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.

This business combination was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and includes the results of operations for Fisher-Brown from the transaction date. Excess cost over tangible net assets acquired totaled $36.2 million, of which $9.3 million and $26.9 million have been allocated to identifiable intangibles and goodwill, respectively. On March 12, 2004, Trustmark acquired five branches of Allied Houston Bank in a business combination accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the transaction, Trustmark acquired approximately $148.1 million in assets and assumed $161.7 million in deposits and other liabilities for a $10 million deposit premium. Assets consisted of $145.9 million in loans, $585 thousand in premises and equipment and $1.6 million in other assets. The assets and liabilities have been recorded at fair value based on market conditions and risk characteristics at the acquisition date. Loans were recorded at a $6.4 million discount, consisting of a discount for general credit risk of $7.3 million offset by a market valuation premium of $862 thousand. Included in the credit risk discount of $7.3 million was a specific amount for nonaccrual loans of $1.7 million. Subsequent to the purchase date, the unpaid principal for these nonaccrual loans were written down to their net realizable value against the recorded discount. Excess cost over tangible net assets acquired totaled $15.7 million, of which $426 thousand and $15.3 million have been allocated to identifiable intangibles (core deposits) and goodwill, respectively. Trustmark's financial statements include the results of operations for this acquisition from the merger date. Note 2 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses For the periods presented, loans consisted of the following: 3/31/05 12/31/04 3/31/04 ---------- ---------- ---------- Real Estate $3,469,374 $3,394,033 $3,197,065 Commercial and industrial 900,680 865,436 838,950 Consumer 817,058 802,334 756,597 Other 385,696 369,474 405,684 ---------- ---------- ---------- Loans 5,572,808 5,431,277 5,198,296 Less Allowance for loan losses 66,787 64,757 74,179 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net Loans $5,506,021 $5,366,520 $5,124,117 ========== ========== ========== 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 possible loan loss methodology is based on guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues," as well as 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 non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans and net charge-offs or recoveries and other factors. During the fourth quarter of 2004, Trustmark recorded a release of $9.4 million to the allowance for loan losses resulting from changes in estimates to specific factors for pooled loans and a specific class of commercial loans, both of which had experienced positive trends in loss experience. As a result, Trustmark recognized a benefit of $7.0 million and $3.1 million in the provision for loan losses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively. At March 31, 2005 non-performing loans totaled $36.6 million compared to $21.9 million at December 31, 2004 and $27.5 million at March 31, 2004. The increase in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2004, is primarily attributable to a single commercial credit of approximately $14.9 million of which $13.6 million was placed on nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2005. Note 3 - Mortgage Banking For the periods presented, the carrying amount of mortgage servicing rights are as follows: 3/31/05 12/31/04 3/31/04 ---------- ---------- ---------- Mortgage Servicing Rights $ 58,796 $ 58,507 $ 65,476 Valuation Allowance (3,312) (6,044) (18,000) ---------- ---------- ---------- Mortgage Servicing Rights, net $ 55,484 $ 52,463 $ 47,476 ========== ========== ========== Mortgage servicing rights are rights to service mortgage loans for others, whether the loans were acquired through purchase or loan origination. Purchased mortgage servicing rights are capitalized at cost. For loans originated and sold where the servicing rights are retained, Trustmark allocated the cost of the loan and the servicing right based on their relative fair values. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized over the estimated period of the related net servicing income. At March 31, 2005, Trustmark serviced $3.5 billion in mortgage loans for others. Impairment for mortgage servicing rights occurs when the estimated fair value falls below the underlying carrying value. Fair value is determined utilizing specific risk characteristics of the mortgage loan, current interest rates and current prepayment speeds. During 2004, Trustmark reclassified $7.1 million of mortgage servicing right impairment from temporary to other-than-temporary which reduced the valuation allowance for impairment and the gross mortgage servicing rights balance with no effect to the net mortgage servicing rights asset. Impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary when Trustmark determines that the carrying value is expected to exceed the fair value for an extended period of time. The following table illustrates the components of mortgage banking included in noninterest income in the accompanying income statements: Quarter Ended -------------------------------------- 3/31/05 12/31/04 3/31/04 ---------- ---------- ---------- Mortgage servicing income $ 4,195 $ 4,252 $ 4,228 Mortgage guaranty fees (1,099) (1,093) (1,095) ---------- ---------- ---------- Mortgage servicing, net 3,096 3,159 3,133 Amortization of mortgage servicing rights (2,620) (2,750) (3,601) Recovery/(Impairment) of mortgage servicing rights 2,732 1,275 (2,133) Gain on sale of loans 334 357 550 Other, net 309 263 148 ---------- ---------- ---------- Mortgage banking $ 3,851 $ 2,304 $ (1,903) ========== ========== ========== Note 4 - Earning Assets and Interest-Bearing Liabilities The following table illustrates the yields on earning assets by category as well as the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities on a tax-equivalent basis. Quarter Ended -------------------------------------- 3/31/05 12/31/04 3/31/04 ---------- ---------- ---------- Securities - Taxable 3.90% 3.13% 3.32% Securities - Nontaxable 7.62% 7.50% 7.68% Securities - Total 4.22% 3.47% 3.65% Loans 5.84% 5.72% 5.67% FF Sold & Rev Repo 2.31% 2.09% 1.00% Total Earning Assets 5.42% 5.10% 5.07% Interest-bearing Deposits 1.55% 1.44% 1.35% FF Pch & Repo 2.15% 1.68% 0.95% Borrowings 2.92% 2.41% 1.87% Total Interest-bearing Liabilities 1.86% 1.66% 1.38% Net interest margin 3.90% 3.74% 3.94% During the fourth quarter of 2004, Trustmark incurred a loss of $4.7 million on the sales of $303.5 million in available for sale securities. Securities sold were comprised of mortgage related and U.S. Treasury issues with an average life and duration of 1.05 years and 1.01 years, respectively. Book yields on the securities sold were expected to be less than funding costs anticipated in 2005. Trustmark expects to use the proceeds from these sales to reinvest in new securities as opportunities arise. The impact of these security sales was also felt during the first quarter of 2005 as premium amortization on mortgage related securities decreased from $4.3 million to $900 thousand as Trustmark had less premium to amortize on remaining securities. Premium amortization was also impacted by slower prepayment speeds on mortgage related securities resulting from a slow down in mortgage refinancing during a rising interest rate environment.
