During the course of our call, management may make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, but we would like to caution you that these forward-looking statements may differ materially from the actual results due to a number of risks and uncertainties, which are outlined in our earnings release, as well as our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
And at this time, I'd like to introduce Duane Dewey, President and CEO of Trustmark.

Thank you, Jerry, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us this morning. With me are Tom Owens, our Chief Financial Officer, Barry Harvey, our Chief Credit and Operations Officer, and Tom Chambers, our Chief Accounting Officer. We at Trustmark are very pleased with our full year and fourth quarter performance in a tumultuous and challenging operating environments. Trustmark's performance reflected a very strong year in net income after tax. In fact, a record year. In that regard, we can solid loan production and credit quality as well as continued deposit growth.
Trustmark reported a fourth quarter net income of $36.1 million representing diluted earnings per share of $0.59. For the full year 2023, Trustmark's net income totaled $165.5 million, which represented diluted earnings per share of $2.70.
Let's review our financial highlights in a little more detail by turning to slide 3. Some funds held for investment increased $140.3 million on 1.1% linked quarter and $746.5 million or 6.1% year over year. During the fourth quarter deposits grew 467.8 million or 3.1% linked quarter and $1.1 billion or 7.8% year over year. Net interest income totaled $140 million in the fourth quarter, which resulted in a net interest margin of 3.25% for the year. Net interest income totaled $566.3 million, up 11.7% from the prior year and resulted in a net interest margin of 3.32%, up 15 basis points from the prior year.
Noninterest income in the fourth quarter totaled $49.8 million, an increase of 10.3% year over year for the year ended 2023, noninterest income totaled $207 million and represented 27.2% of total revenue. Revenue for the year totaled seven $59.8 million, an increase of 8.6% from the prior year. Adjusted noninterest expense in the fourth quarter totaled $134.8 million for the year. Adjusted noninterest expense totaled $527.9 million, an increase of 5.9% from prior year. Our credit quality remains solid and net charge-offs during the fourth quarter totaled $2.2 million, representing seven basis points of average loans for 2023. Net charge-offs totaled $8.2 million and represented six basis points of average loans. The provision from credit losses for loans held for investment was $7.6 million in the fourth quarter and for the full year 2023 was $27.3 million. We continue to maintain strong capital levels with common equity Tier one ratio of 10.04% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.29%. The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share payable on March 15th to shareholders of record as of March first. At this time, I'd like to ask Barry Harvey to provide some color on our loan growth and credit quality.

Thank you, Duane, and I'll be glad to turn to Slide 4. Loans held for investments totaled $13 billion as of 1231. That's an increase, as Duane mentioned, of $140 million for the quarter. Loan growth during Q4 came from commercial lending and the equipment finance Sarcom finance line of business as well as our real estate secured loans. We expect loan growth of mid single digits during 2024. As you can see, our loan portfolio remains well diversified, both by product type as well as by geography.
Looking out to slide 5, Trustmark's CRE portfolio is 94% vertical with 70% being in the existing category at 30%.
In the construction, land and development category, our construction land development portfolio is 79%. Construction Trustmark's office portfolio, as you can see, is very modest at $298 million outstanding, which represents only 2% of the overall loan book. The portfolio is comprised of credits with high-quality tenants, low lease turnover, strong occupancy levels and low leverage. The credit metrics on this portfolio remain extremely strong.
Looking on slide 6, the bank's commercial loan portfolio is well diversified, as you can see across numerous industries with no single category exceeding 13%.
On slide 7, our provision for credit losses for loans held for investments was $7.6 million during the fourth quarter, which was attributable to loan growth, net adjustments to the qualitative factors and changes in the macro economic forecast. The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposure was a negative $888,000 during the quarter. At 1231. The allowance for loan losses for loans held for investment was $139 million.
Looking to slide 8 and continue to post solid credit quality metrics. The allowance for credit losses represents 1.08% of the loans held for investment and 294 -- 249% of nonaccruals. Excluding those loans that are individually analyzed in the fourth quarter, net charge-offs totaled $2.2 million or 0.07% of average loans. Both non-accruals and non-performing assets remained at reasonable levels.
Dwayne?

Thank you, Barry. I'd like to ask Tom Owens to now focus on deposits in the income statement.

Thanks, Wayne, and good morning, everyone. Turning to deposits on Slide 9, and we finished up the year with another good quarter, which continued to show the strength of our deposit base amid an environment that remains exceptionally competitive.
Deposits totaled $15.6 billion at year-end, a linked quarter increase of $468 million or 3.1% and a year-over-year increase of $1.1 billion or 7.8%. Deposit growth, excluding brokered deposits, was also strong, up $616 million or 4.3% linked quarter and $556 million or 3.8% year over year with a pretty strong and a reversal of public fund balances, which grew by $453 billion during the fourth quarter after having declined by $373 million during the third quarter. We also had good growth in personal balances linked quarter, which were up 276 million, offsetting decreases in nonpersonal balances of $121 million and corporate balances of $151 million.
Regarding mix time deposits declined by $22 million linked quarter with non-brokered CDs up $128 million and brokered CDs, down $149 million. As of year end, our promotional time deposit book declined by $44 million linked quarter totaling $1.2 billion with a weighted average rate paid of 4.75% and the weighted average remaining term and continue to shorten shortened to about three months for our broker deposit book declined by $149 million linked quarter totaling $579 million, with an all in weighted average rate paid of about five 46 5.46% and a weighted average remaining term also shortened to about three months as of December 31.
And also regarding mix, non-interest bearing DDA balances declined 123 million linked quarter or 3.7%, and non-interest bearing DDA represented about 21% of the deposit base. As of December 31, our cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 28 basis points from the prior quarter to 2.67%. That linked quarter increase was down from the prior quarter increase of 43 basis points during the third quarter.
Turning to slide 10, Trustmark continues to maintain a stable, granular and low exposure deposit base. During the fourth quarter, we had an average of about $465,000. Personal and nonpersonal deposit accounts, excluding collateralized public funds accounts with an average balance of about $27,000 as of December 31, 64% of our deposits were insured and 14% were collateralized, meaning that our mix of deposits that are uninsured and uncollateralized was essentially unchanged linked quarter and 22% we maintained substantial secured borrowing capacity, which stood at $6.2 billion at December 31, representing 181% coverage of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits. Our fourth quarter, total deposit cost of 2.10% represented a linked quarter increase of 26 basis points and a cumulative beta cycle to date of 38% our forecast for the first quarter is for an increase in deposit costs to 2.19%, which would represent a cycle based beta of 42%.
Turning to revenue on Slide 11. Net interest income at IKE. decreased $1.9 million linked quarter totaling $140 million, which resulted in a net interest margin above 3.25%. Net interest margin decreased by four basis points linked quarter as the 10 basis points of accretion due to asset rate volume. It was more than offset by the 14 basis points of dilution due to liability rate and occupancy.
On slide 12, our interest-rate risk profile remains essentially unchanged as of December 31, with substantial asset sensitivity driven by loan portfolio mix with 50% variable rate coupon during the fourth quarter, and we entered into $75 million notional of forward-starting swaps, which product swap portfolio notional at quarter end to $1.025 billion with a weighted average maturity of 2.8 years and a weighted average received fixed rate of 3.18%. We also entered into $50 million notional of forward-starting floors, which profit for core portfolio notional at quarter end to $75 million with a weighted average maturity of four years and a weighted average. So for a rate of 3.58%, a cash flow hedging program substantially reduces our adverse asset sensitivity to kind of potential downward shock in interest rates.
Turning to slide 13, noninterest income for the fourth quarter totaled $49.8 million, a $2.4 million linked quarter decrease and for the full year totaled $206.9 million, a $1.8 million increase from the prior year linked quarter decrease was driven primarily by normal seasonal decline of $2.1 million in insurance commissions with the full year increase was driven by increases of $3.8 million for 7.2% in insurance commissions and $1.3 million or 3% increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Those increases were offset somewhat by decreases of $2.7 million in bank card and other fees, which was primarily a decline in customer derivative revenue and $2.1 million decline in mortgage banking as both businesses faced significant headwinds from the interest rate environment for the quarter, noninterest income represented 26.7% of total revenue, continuing to demonstrate a well-diversified revenue stream.
Turning to mortgage banking on slide 14, revenue totaled $5.5 million in the fourth quarter, bringing full year revenue to $26.2 million, which is a decline of $2.1 million. The full year decline was driven by increased negative and net hedge ineffectiveness of $2.2 million, resulting from the difficult hedging environment, which prevailed during 2023, while full year increases in mortgage servicing income and change in fair value of servicing assets runoff offset the decline in gain on sale of loans.
Mortgage loan production totaled $1.5 billion in 2023, a decrease of 31.6% from the prior year. Retail production mix remained strong in the fourth quarter, representing 75% in volume or about $204 million loans sold in the secondary market represented 85% of production, while loans held on balance sheet represented 15%. Gain on sale margin remained under pressure in the fourth quarter, decreasing by 11 basis points in the quarter to 110 basis points. And I will ask Tom Chambers to cover noninterest expense and capital management.

Thank you, Tom. Turning to slide 15, you'll see a detail of our total interest expense during the fourth quarter. Adjusted noninterest expense totaled $134.7 million, a linked quarter increase of $700,000 or 0.5%, mainly driven by an increase in FDIC assessment expense of $1.1 million, which is included in other expense following our noninterest expense line items remained relatively unchanged on a linked quarter basis.
As noted on slide 16, Trustmark remains well positioned from a capital perspective is doing previously mentioned. Our capital ratios remain solid with common equity Tier one ratio of 10.04% linked quarter increase of 15 basis points and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12 point 29% linked quarter increase of 18 basis points. Trustmark did not repurchase any of its common shares during 2023. As previously announced, Trustmark's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program effective January first, 2024 through December 31, 2024, under which $50 million of Trustmark's outstanding shares may be acquired. Although we continue to have a share repurchase program in place by far, our priority for capital deployment continues to be through organic lending. Back to you, Duane.

Thank you, Carsten. Let's take a look now at our commentary and outward outlook for commentary slide on Slide 17. First, let's look at the balance sheet. We're expecting loans to grow mid-single digits in 2024, while deposits are expected to grow low to mid-single digits. Securities balances are expected to decline by high single digits based on non reinvestment of portfolio cash flows, which of course, are subject to changes in market interest rates moving on to the income statement, we're expecting net interest income to decline low single digits in 2014, reflecting continued earning asset growth and stabilizing deposit costs, resulting in full year net interest margin of approximately 3.2% based on market implied forward interest rates, our credit and the total provision for credit losses, including unfunded commitments, is dependent upon future loan growth, the current macroeconomic forecast and credit quality trends, net charge-offs requiring additional reserving are expected to be nominal based on the current economic outlook.
From a noninterest income perspective, noninterest income is expected to grow mid-single digits, which reflects some modest improvement in mortgage, continued growth in insurance and some improvement in the wealth management business for the last couple of years. We've talked about our fit to grow initiatives across the company in which we've invested in both growth initiatives, mostly in additional production talent as well as in technology and other key areas of the Company to that end in 2024, we will begin to see efficiencies from those efforts along with other heightened cost containment initiatives said that adjusted noninterest expense is expected to increase low single digits full year 2024. This is always subject to the impact of commissions in our commission-based businesses.
Finally, we'll continue a disciplined approach to capital deployment with a preference for organic loan growth and potential M&A, we will continue to maintain a strong capital base to implement corporate priorities and initiatives.
I'd like to now at this time open the floor up to questions.

Question and Answer Session

Operator

We will now begin the question and answer session and to ask a question, you may press star then one on your touch-tone phone. You are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster.
The first question today comes from Graham Dick from Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.

Hey, good morning, everyone.

Good morning, Graham.

So I just wanted to start on NINIM. I guess your guidance is implying some of them to decline kind of throughout 2024, which is a bit different than what most other of your peers are saying right now. Can you just walk through your thoughts on this? I know you guys have a fair amount of floating rate loans, but just interested to hear how your outlook might differ from other banks out there who say fixed asset repricing will be enough to overcome any pressures from lower Fed rates?

Yes, Graham, this is Tom Owens. And I'd start by saying that on a great extent, I'm in agreement with the commentary that you just cited and I disagree somewhat with your interpretation so far of continuing compression in net interest margin.
We've come off here what back-to-back linked quarter declines of four basis points in net interest margin I think the quarter before those two was six basis points. And so I think with the continued increase that we anticipate in deposit costs, the guidance that we've given you for the first quarter, it's reasonable to assume that you're going to see another linked quarter decline in terms of a similar order of magnitude what the run rate is then, but we are anticipating I think on last quarter's call, when asked about the inflection point in terms of net interest margin and net interest income, I think the guidance we gave that was second to third quarter. And I think at this point, it might come in a quarter to the second quarter. So we think that and obviously, as I said in my prepared comments, it remains a competitive environment for deposits who knows what the Fed is going to actually do. Our guidance is based on market-implied forwards. But all that being said, we are modeling a similar linked-quarter decline in the first quarter to what you've seen the last several quarters. And then we are getting to an inflection point in terms of some modest accretion to net interest income and net interest margin. And I do agree with the commentary that repricing of the fixed rate assets on the balance sheet over time. It is enough to generally stabilize, if not accrete that interest margin modestly. So that's a long-winded answer. The short answer is we think the trough is probably in the first quarter here in terms of net interest margin, and then we do get some stabilization there and some modest accretion.

Okay. That's very helpful.
So then I guess as you look out past 1Q, then you're thinking your stabilization, maybe few basis points of accretion by all and about three 20 at the end of the day for the full year? And what sort of rate I know you said you have the forward curve, I guess, baked into the guidance right now, but what does that say, I guess when you guys built out this guidance, obviously changes?

Yes. And I'm just wondering, gentlemen, I would like to ask the question, Graham, because there's been some volatility in market-implied forwards. So yes, when we are putting our plan together in our forecast, it did have the six cuts in it, which is still largely does, although the profitability of the March cut has come up quite a bit. So six cuts on the year ending the year with the top of the target range at 4%. But I will say it again now whether that comes to pass or not if the ongoing repricing of the fixed rate assets, let's say the Fed was just on hold, let's say the market-implied forwards are completely wrong and defense just on hold for the remainder of the year. I still say that because of what we've talked about here, the dynamic of the fixed rate assets continuing to reprice that you get into the back half of the year, you start to see some lift to net interest margin and net interest income. But really, I really think that the wildcard is obviously what the Fed ends up doing. And then you know, what the competitive landscape looks like in terms of deposits. I mean, it stands to reason that that's really going to bring some of the pressure for deposit competition down as the competition for deposits of available yield declines. And so, you know, at that point you need to be pretty reactive in terms of how you re-pricing your deposit book. One of the reasons in my prepared commentary, I give you the details on our brokered time deposit book and our promotional time deposit book is just to reiterate the point at this point, the rate weighted average remaining term on those books, which together something like $1.8 billion, is about three months. So we think we're well positioned to react to whatever the Fed does. And I think that gives the market-implied forwards turned out to be right. And clearly, there's a fair amount of skepticism in the industry as to whether the Fed begins cutting March or not. But if they do turn out to be right, I really think that's going to take pressure off costs positive. It provides the opportunity to reprice down the promotional and brokered time deposit books.

Okay. So the way I'm hearing is it sounds like it sounds like Fed cuts would be better for the margin, I guess this year than than the Fed's on hold. Is that correct? So to make sure I understand that correctly.

It's pretty so I'll say it a different way.

Maybe.

Yes, when I look at where analysts were in terms of expectations for 24, right.

When I look at the range of analysts' estimates, when I look at the median analyst estimate in terms of net interest income and net interest margin for full year 24.

That's essentially where we were right 90 days ago before before the idea that, hey, the Fed's done here and they're going to start to cut, maybe they're going to cut six times in 2024. We were already our internal modeling was already very similar to the analysts' estimates, both on NII and net interest margin. And so the guidance that we're giving you today just essentially were reiterates that I mean, we're slightly asset sensitive, right? And so there's no question when you look at about half the book is floating rate, right? So there's no compressed that there's no question that the Fed beginning to ease creates a headwind to net interest income. The question is how quickly you can react and reprice down your deposit book, starting with promotion on broker deposits. But we've been increasing our rack rates that we pay on various products along the way as well. So we think we have the opportunity. However, it turns out in terms of the ultimate path of monetary policy this year too be in the range we're giving you in terms of net interest margin and net interest income.

Got it. Got it. That's that's really helpful. And I guess just just one quick question on the underground on credit non-accruals up just a little bit again this quarter. Just wondering if you're comfortable with where the reserve is today relative to what you see on the nonperforming side like that that about one and a quarter coverage or the ratio of reserves to non-performers. So just wondering, yes, if there's potential for maybe some some reserve build in the future, if we feel good where it is right now.

Again, this is Barry and I do feel good where the reserve is today. Maybe looking at it another way I would say of the $100 million of non-accruals, we have $18.2 million worth of reserve when you include those that are individually analyzed or 18.2%. So I do feel like that the reserve we have on the non-accruals or nonperforming assets is solid. Even though if you calculate from the standpoint of 1.2 times on that, that feels a little different. But if you think about it in terms of 18.2%, we reserve all of the non-accruals then that makes that makes me feel good about where we are in that respect, a decent number of those are going to have a large credit support is going to be individually analyzed. And within that very precise in terms of what we know today and in terms of the actual calculation.

That's helpful.

Thanks, guys.
Thank you, Kevin, and welcome.

Gary Tenner, D.A. Davidson.

I wanted to ask a bit of a follow-up just on the deposit outlook. And I'm curious in terms of the deposit data, you kind of get the guidance the first quarter, what are you assuming on the way down you think it's a pretty similar beta? And what kind of lag do you think there is and so you're able I mean, you talked about the promotional deposits and brokered. But beyond that, what type of lag do you think you see on the repricing side?

So Gary, this is Tom Allen, thanks for the question. So the way I would answer I gave you the simple answer first, which is about 20% beta, assuming let's get start with the reference point, right? So let's assume that as our guidance on first quarter deposit cost of about two 19 comes to pass, and let's say that's the starting point and that the starting point is the Fed where they are currently, the top of the range is 5.5%, right? And so then as you said, will by year end by the time we get to the fourth quarter through how much of the 150 basis points do you think what's the relationship between the decline in deposit cost and 100 basis points and what does that data turn out to be in round numbers, I would say about 20%, right, which means 20% of 150 is about 30 basis points. So I think it would be reasonable to model from the to 19 in the first quarter, you take 30 basis points off of that, and that's probably where you're going to wind up, which is one 89 or so about, call it one 90 keeping if you want to keep it super round, go from 20 in the first quarter to one 90 in the fourth quarter and relative to 150 basis points of Fed cuts. That's a beta of about 20%. And we're modeling that it's pretty linear for a well, it's pretty constant is the word I'll use. In other words, the first 75 and then the next if the and then the next 25 we think it's pretty constant that we'll be able to get something like a 20% beta relative relative to those moves each quarter if those market-implied forwards come to pass.

So I appreciate the answer. I wonder if you could just kind of square this with me then if you're looking at a 20% deposit repricing beta, but you're 50% variable rate loans and less less than that if you factor in the hedges, of course, but still that's a pretty decent repricing gap between the deposit beta and the variable rate.

Well, and well overall loan books?

Yes, I mean I'd have to do that all in my head, right, which is a little difficult on the fly, but the deposit base is a multiple. It's 2.5 to 3 times as much as the floating rate loan book on. So yes, hard to do in my head on the fly, but that's the that's the mathematically, that's the answer, but I appreciate it.

And then a quick follow-up. If I could ask a quick follow-up.

Just in terms of the mid-single digit deposit growth for low to mid for the year. Does that assume any additional paydown in brokered over the course of time? Or do you think you just to kind of renew those as they come you know, I think that will be flat to down slightly.

As I said in my prepared comments, we had really good growth in personal deposits in the fourth quarter. We had solid growth when you think about it and the brokered having growth of for the full year of 3.8% full year in an environment where bank deposits have been declining. We feel really good about that and especially having been able to raise those deposits at a competitive cost. And so yes, I think flat to down is the answer on that certainly certainly we do not view brokered deposits as a permanent feature of our balance sheet. It was more the utilization of broker deposits in 2023 was more to manage the repricing of the deposit book with 500 basis points of Fed rate hikes. So certainly we're going to trying to be offered and opportunistic over time to continue to have the broker deposit book attrite.

Thanks very much, Eric.

As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star and one to enter the question queue. Our next question comes from Catherine Mealor with KBW. Please go ahead.

Thanks. Good morning. And just one more follow-up on the margin on is do you have what percentage or the amount of loan of fixed rate loans that you expect to reprice this year? And then similarly, you have an amount of amount of deposits that are indexed that will also kind of the promotional maybe and on brokered, it's just that it will immediately reprice lower. Just kind of thinking about the immediate repricing lower once once rates start moving lower on the deposit side, Catherine, this is Barry, I'll start with the first part on will take the second part.

But we do expect around $600 million of fixed rate loans to be repriced in the next 12 months and then a little bit less than maybe $550 million of fixed rate loans to be repriced over the next 12 to 24 months.

Okay. And what's the rate on average that's coming up and repricing to Sure.

The of the the the ones they're going to be repricing in the next 12 months, the average rate of 5.14% and and those were price 12 to 24 months out the average rate is 4.07.

Okay, great. Thank you, Barry.

So task management, first of all.

I appreciate very taking some of the loaders, more asset light of where now you're out of the gate, but we did not have a large portion.

We have some public fund balances. And I'm a little reluctant to throw out a number because I don't have the numbers in front of me right now, but it's not it's not a huge portion that reprices down immediately. I know I can think of some public fund balances did probably add up between somewhere between $500 billion dollars. And then we also have some done corporate, what we call CTS. corporate treasury services balances that reprice down that are indexed. And while we're on the call, I'm going to trying to get my hands on that number. So I can give you a little more color on that piece. But those are those are really the two categories. I feel good about that range I just gave you on the public and I'll see if I can get my hands on a more solid answer on the corporate deposits that are indexed.

Okay. That's great. And then any thoughts on which these companies do bond restructures, how you'll think about that in the future?
Talking about just the bond book running off at a high single-digit pace throughout the year, but any thoughts around doing something on a more medium on the bond book of?

You know, Catherine, and we've gotten that question every quarter and understandably so I mean, every time we've looked at it, you know, the opportunity, you know, our struggle a little bit with whether you're truly adding economic value there or not on the next two parts of that today you have. One is the extent to which you are borrowing on a spread basis to fund securities in your portfolio that are not on a spread basis and we have a pretty small percentage of the portfolio in the securities portfolio that that fits that profile. But we certainly have continued to look at it. And I'll tell you, I mean the other thing is obviously, you know, in my prepared comments, I talked about the cash flow hedge portfolio and the steps that we've done there to rein in our asset sensitivity. We are very naturally asset sensitive. And as best we can tell from call report data, we feel like we're middle of the pack in terms of our asset sensitivity, um, but you know, there is a decision to be made there as well.
Right? I mean, with the opinion of the uncertainty that we're facing and with respect to the path of the Fed and monetary policy. And so potential restructuring of the securities portfolio is part of that calculus as well as what we do with the cash flow hedge portfolio. So I'd say we continue to look at it.
Great.

But any updated thoughts on the potential insurance sale whenever you get that question every quarter, too, but just curious of any kind of changes in how you're thinking about that.

And now I would say the same thing I've said in the prior quarters, Kathryn, with that's been a good business for Trustmark. I think this year was the 13th consecutive year of record revenue and profitability in that business. I mean, it's a good saying been a good business for us. That said, we're well aware of what is going on around us. We're well aware of valuations and the opportunities there. But at this point, there's really no change from what we've guided to in prior prior calls.

Okay, great.
