Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations: Renasant Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”) owns and operates Renasant Bank (“Renasant Bank” or the “Bank”) and Renasant Insurance, Inc. The Company offers a diversified range of financial, fiduciary and insurance services to its retail and commercial customers through its subsidiaries and full service offices located throughout north and central Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and north Florida.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. For further information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2017.

Business Combinations: The Company completed its acquisition of KeyWorth Bank (“KeyWorth”) on April 1, 2016. KeyWorth’s financial condition and results of operations are included in the Company's financial condition and results of operations as of the acquisition date. The Company also recently completed its acquisition of Metropolitan BancGroup, Inc. (“Metropolitan”); the Metropolitan acquisition was completed on July 1, 2017, after the date of the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated, for consideration of recognition or disclosure, subsequent events that have occurred through the date of issuance of its financial statements. On July 1, 2017, the Company completed its previously-announced acquisition of Metropolitan. The terms of the merger with Metropolitan are disclosed in Note 2, “Mergers and Acquisitions”. The Company has determined that no other significant events occurred after June 30, 2017 but prior to the issuance of these financial statements that would have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this standard to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 revises the accounting for the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and revises the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. For equity securities, the guidance in ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value option, the guidance requires presenting, in other comprehensive income, the change in fair value that relates to a change in instrument-specific credit risk. ASU 2016-01 also eliminates the disclosure assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and requires disclosure of an exit price notion in determining the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, that ASU 2016-01 will have on its financial position and results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the accounting model and disclosure requirements for leases. The current accounting model for leases distinguishes between capital leases, which are recognized on-balance sheet, and operating leases, which are not. Under the new standard, the lease classifications are defined as finance leases, which are similar to capital leases under current GAAP, and operating leases. Further, a lessee will recognize

Table of Contents

a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet regardless of the lease’s classification, which may significantly increase reported assets and liabilities. The accounting model and disclosure requirements for lessors remains substantially unchanged from current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial position and results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures, and the expected results include the recognition of leased assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet, along with leasehold amortization and interest expense recognized in the statement of income.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to reduce complexity in accounting standards by simplifying several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including (1) accounting for income taxes; (2) classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows; (3) forfeitures; (4) minimum statutory tax withholding requirements; and (5) classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 beginning January 1, 2017 and, as a result recognized as income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 an excess tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock. Furthermore, the presentation of certain elements of share-based payment transactions in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows was updated to comply with the standard update.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The update will significantly change the way entities recognize impairment on many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the asset's remaining life. FASB describes this impairment recognition model as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model and believes the CECL model will result in more timely recognition of credit losses since the CECL model incorporates expected credit losses versus incurred credit losses. The scope of FASB’s CECL model would include loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantees that are not accounted for at fair value. For public companies, this update becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has formed an implementation committee comprised of both accounting and credit employees to guide Renasant Bank through the implementation of ASU 2016-13. Currently, this committee is gaining an understanding of the potential impact of the CECL model, reviewing the model requirements and ensuring data integrity across all reporting systems. The Company has also engaged consulting firms and software providers to assist in evaluating the varying approaches to the implementation of the CECL model.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Statement of Cash Flows, including (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. For public companies, this amendment becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2016-15 only impacts the presentation of specific items within the Statement of Cash Flows and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), that changes the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as the acquisition of assets or the acquisition of a business. ASU 2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the acquired assets or group of similar identifiable assets is not considered a business. In addition, the guidance requires that, to be considered a business, the acquired assets must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The ASU removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace any of the missing elements. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-03, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings” (“ASU 2017-03”), that provides guidance on additional qualitative disclosures required when the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2016-13 on a registrant's financial statements cannot reasonably be estimated by the registrant. ASU 2017-03 was effective when issued and the appropriate disclosures have been added where necessary.

Table of Contents

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 will amend and simplify current goodwill impairment testing by eliminating certain testing under the current provisions. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the quantitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 requires employers to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. These amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. ASU 2017-07 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-07 will have on its financial position and results of operations and its financial statement disclosures.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”). ASU 2017-08 requires the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to be the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-08 will have on its financial position and results of operations and its financial statement disclosures.

In May 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Subtopic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations and its financial statement disclosures.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company evaluates its investment portfolio for other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. Impairment is assessed at the individual security level. The Company considers an investment security impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its cost or amortized cost basis. Impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary if the Company intends to sell the investment security or if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security before the Company is required to sell the security or before the security’s maturity.

The Company does not intend to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Furthermore, even though a number of these securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for a period greater than twelve months, the Company has experienced an overall improvement in the fair value of its investment portfolio and is collecting principal and interest payments from the respective issuers as scheduled. As such, the Company did not record any OTTI for the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016.

The Company holds investments in pooled trust preferred securities that had an amortized cost basis of $21,793 and $23,749 and a fair value of $16,992 and $18,389 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017, the investments in pooled trust preferred securities consisted of three securities representing interests in various tranches of trusts collateralized by debt issued by over 250 financial institutions. Management’s determination of the fair value of each of its holdings in pooled trust preferred securities is based on the current credit ratings, the known deferrals and defaults by the underlying issuing financial institutions and the degree to which future deferrals and defaults would be required to occur before the cash flow for the Company’s tranches is negatively impacted. In addition, management continually monitors key credit quality and capital ratios of the issuing institutions. This determination is further supported by quarterly valuations, which are performed by third parties, of each security obtained by the Company. The Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of the investments' amortized cost, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the investments’ amortized cost, which may be at maturity. At June 30, 2017, management did not, and does not currently, believe such securities will be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment, but the Company previously concluded that it was probable that there had been an adverse change in estimated cash flows for all three trust preferred securities and recognized credit related impairment losses on these securities in 2010 and 2011. No additional impairment was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company's analysis of the pooled trust preferred securities during the second quarter of 2017 supported a return to accrual status for the last remaining security (XXIV), which had been in "payment in kind" status until December 2016. An observed history of principal and interest payments combined with improved qualitative and quantitative factors described above justified the accrual of interest on this security. The Company had in previous years placed the other two pooled trust preferred securities (XXIII and XXVI) back on accrual status.

The following table provides information regarding the Company’s investments in pooled trust preferred securities at June 30, 2017:



Name	Single/ Pooled	Class/ Tranche	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss			Lowest Credit Rating	Issuers Currently in Deferral or Default

Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Generally, the recognition of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer and other retail loans are typically charged-off no later than the time the loan is 120 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. All interest accrued for the current year, but not collected, for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, consumer and construction loans above a minimum dollar amount threshold by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated collectively for impairment. When the ultimate collectability of an impaired loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. Once the recorded balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income, to the extent any interest has been foregone, and then they are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged-off. For impaired loans, a specific reserve is established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its estimated net realizable value.

rates or deferral of interest or principal payments. In evaluating whether to restructure a loan, management analyzes the long-term financial condition of the borrower, including guarantor and collateral support, to determine whether the proposed concessions will increase the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest.

The allocated allowance for loan losses attributable to restructured loans was $238 and $790 at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The Company had no remaining availability under commitments to lend additional funds on these restructured loans at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Credit Quality

For commercial and commercial real estate loans, internal risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration or loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. Management analyzes the resulting ratings, as well as other external statistics and factors such as delinquency, to track the migration performance of the portfolio balances of these loans. Loan grades range between 1 and 9, with 1 being loans with the least credit risk. Loans that migrate toward the “Pass” grade (those with a risk rating between 1 and 4) or within the “Pass” grade generally have a lower risk of loss and therefore a lower risk factor applied to the loan balances. The “Watch” grade (those with a risk rating of 5) is utilized on a temporary basis for “Pass” grade loans where a significant adverse risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term. Loans that migrate toward the “Substandard” grade (those with a risk rating between 6 and 9) generally have a higher risk of loss and therefore a higher risk factor applied to the related loan balances. The following table presents the Company’s loan portfolio by risk-rating grades as of the dates presented:

For portfolio balances of consumer, small balance consumer mortgage loans, such as 1-4 family mortgage loans and certain other loans originated for other than commercial purposes, allowance factors are determined based on historical loss ratios by portfolio for the preceding eight quarters and may be adjusted by other qualitative criteria.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management based on its ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio, including collective impairment as recognized under ASC 450, “Contingencies”. Collective impairment is calculated based on loans grouped by grade. Another component of the allowance is losses on loans assessed as impaired under ASC 310. The balance of these loans and their related allowance is included in management’s estimation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Management and the internal loan review staff evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses quarterly. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated based on a continuing assessment of problem loans, the types of loans, historical loss experience, new lending products, emerging credit trends, changes in the size and character of loan categories and other factors, including its risk rating system, regulatory guidance and economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings resulting from measurements of inherent credit risk in the loan portfolio and estimates of probable losses or impairments of individual loans. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The following table provides a roll forward of the allowance for loan losses and a breakdown of the ending balance of the allowance based on the Company’s impairment methodology for the periods presented:

Note 9 – Mortgage Servicing Rights

(In Thousands)

The Company retains the right to service certain mortgage loans that it sells to secondary market investors. These mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recognized as a separate asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold. MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. These servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair market value. Fair market value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, prepayment speeds, market discount rates, servicing costs, and other factors. Impairment losses on MSRs are recognized to the extent by which the unamortized cost exceeds fair value. During the first six months of 2016, the Company recognized an impairment loss on MSRs in earnings in the amount of $40. There were no impairment losses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company sold MSRs relating to mortgage loans having an aggregate unpaid principal balance totaling $1,830,444 to a third party for net proceeds of $18,508. There were no sales of MSRs during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Note 11 - Employee Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plans

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)

The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, under which participation and future benefit accruals ceased as of December 31, 1996. In connection with the acquisition of Heritage Financial Group, Inc. (“Heritage”) in July 2015, the Company assumed the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan maintained by HeritageBank of the South, Heritage's wholly-owned banking subsidiary (“HeritageBank”), under which accruals had ceased and the plan had been terminated by HeritageBank immediately prior to the acquisition date. Final distribution of all benefits under the plan was completed in August 2016.

The Company also provides retiree health benefits for certain employees who were employed by the Company and enrolled in the Company's health plan as of December 31, 2004. To receive benefits, an eligible employee must retire from service with the Company and its affiliates between age 55 and 65 and be credited with at least 15 years of service or with 70 points, determined as the sum of age and service at retirement. The Company periodically determines the portion of the premium to be paid by each eligible retiree and the portion to be paid by the Company. Coverage ceases when an employee attains age 65 and is eligible for

In March 2011, the Company adopted a long-term equity incentive plan, which provides for the grant of stock options and the award of restricted stock. The plan replaced the long-term incentive plan adopted in 2001, which expired in October 2011. The Company issues shares of treasury stock to satisfy stock options exercised or restricted stock granted under the plan. Options granted under the plan allow participants to acquire shares of the Company's common stock at a fixed exercise price and expire ten years after the grant date. Options vest and become exercisable in installments over a three-year period measured from the grant date. Options that have not vested are forfeited and canceled upon the termination of a participant's employment. There were no stock options granted during the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016.

The following table summarizes the changes in stock options as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017:



	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding at beginning of period	185,625		$	15.97
Granted	—		—
Exercised	(88,625	)	16.14
Forfeited	—		—
Options outstanding at end of period	97,000		$	15.82

The Company awards performance-based restricted stock to executives and other officers and employees and time-based restricted stock to directors, executives and other officers and employees under the long-term equity incentive plan. The performance-based restricted stock vests upon completion of a one-year service period and the attainment of certain performance goals. Performance-based restricted stock is issued at the target level; the number of shares ultimately awarded is determined at the end of each year

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

and may be increased or decreased depending on the Company falling short of, meeting or exceeding financial performance measures defined by the Board of Directors. Time-based restricted stock vests at the end of the service period defined in the respective grant. The fair value of each restricted stock award is the closing price of the Company's common stock on the day immediately preceding the award date.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reissued 92,610 shares from treasury in connection with the exercise of stock options and awards of restricted stock. The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $1,237 and $856 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,411 and $1,715 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 12 – Derivative Instruments

(In Thousands)

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including interest rate contracts such as swaps, caps and/or floors, as part of its ongoing efforts to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure and to facilitate the needs of its customers. The Company also from time to time enters into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract position. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of default by its commercial customers, through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. At June 30, 2017, the Company had notional amounts of $91,810 on interest rate contracts with corporate customers and $91,810 in offsetting interest rate contracts with other financial institutions to mitigate the Company’s rate exposure on its corporate customers’ contracts and certain fixed-rate loans.

In June 2014, the Company entered into two forward interest rate swap contracts on floating rate liabilities at the Bank level with notional amounts of $15,000 each. The interest rate swap contracts are each accounted for as a cash flow hedge with the objective of protecting against any interest rate volatility on future FHLB borrowings for a four-year and five-year period beginning June 1, 2018 and December 3, 2018 and ending June 2022 and June 2023, respectively. Under these contracts, Renasant Bank will pay a fixed interest rate and will receive a variable interest rate based on the three-month LIBOR plus a pre-determined spread, with quarterly net settlements.

In March and April 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements effective March 30, 2014 and March 17, 2014, respectively. Under these swap agreements, the Company receives a variable rate of interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus a pre-determined spread and pays a fixed rate of interest. The agreements, which both terminate in March 2022, are accounted for as cash flow hedges to reduce the variability in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $32,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures.

In connection with its merger with First M&F Corporation (“First M&F”), the Company assumed an interest rate swap designed to convert floating rate interest payments into fixed rate payments. Based on the terms of the agreement, which terminates in March 2018, the Company receives a variable rate of interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus a pre-determined spread and pays a fixed rate of interest. The interest rate swap is accounted for as a cash flow hedge to reduce the variability in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $30,000 of the junior subordinated debentures assumed in the merger with First M&F.

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments with its customers to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the commitments to fund fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. The notional amount of commitments to fund fixed-rate mortgage loans was $244,772 and $120,050 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company also enters into forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors. The notional amount of commitments to sell

For the Company's derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the cash flow hedges are, to the extent that the hedging relationship is effective, recorded as other comprehensive income and are subsequently recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the hedging instruments are immediately recognized in earnings. The assessment of the effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the hypothetical derivative method. There were no ineffective portions for the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. The impact on other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, can be seen at Note 16, "Other Comprehensive Income."

Offsetting

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet when the "right of offset" exists or when the instruments are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement, which includes the right of the

The Company acquired federal and state net operating losses as part of the Heritage acquisition. The federal net operating loss acquired totaled $18,321, of which $6,478 remained to be utilized as of June 30, 2017, while state net operating losses totaled $17,168, of which $9,664 remained to be utilized as of June 30, 2017. Both the federal and state net operating losses will expire at various dates beginning in 2024.

The Company expects to utilize the federal and state net operating losses prior to expiration. Because the benefits are expected to be fully realized, the Company recorded no valuation allowance against the net operating losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 14 – Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects

Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements

(In Thousands)

Fair Value Measurements and the Fair Level Hierarchy

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to a valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), moderate priority to a valuation based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and/or based on assumptions that are observable in the market (Level 2), and the lowest priority to a valuation based on assumptions that are not observable in the market (Level 3).

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with applicable standards. The Company’s recurring fair value measurements are based on the requirement to carry such assets and liabilities at fair value or the Company’s election to carry certain eligible assets and liabilities at fair value. Assets and liabilities that are required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis include securities available for sale and derivative instruments. The Company has elected to carry mortgage loans held for sale at fair value on a recurring basis as permitted under the guidance in ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”).

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis:

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale consist primarily of debt securities, such as obligations of U.S. Government agencies and corporations, mortgage-backed securities, trust preferred securities, and other debt securities. Where quoted market prices in active markets are available, securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If quoted prices from active markets are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques where all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When assumptions used in model-based valuation techniques are not observable in the market, the assumptions used by management reflect estimates of assumptions used by other market participants in determining fair value. When there is limited transparency around the inputs to the valuation, the instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative instruments: The Company uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. Most of the Company’s derivative contracts are extensively traded in over-the-counter markets and are valued using discounted cash flow models which incorporate observable market based inputs including current market interest rates, credit spreads, and other factors. Such instruments are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and include interest rate swaps and other interest rate contracts such as interest rate caps and/or floors. The Company’s interest rate lock commitments are valued using current market prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics, adjusted for certain factors including servicing and risk. The value of the Company’s forward commitments is based on current prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. Because these assumptions are observable in active markets, the Company’s interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are primarily agency loans which trade in active secondary markets. The fair value of these instruments is derived from current market pricing for similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics, including servicing and risk. Because the valuation is based on external pricing of similar instruments, mortgage loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates presented:

The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the Company’s ability to observe inputs to the valuation may cause reclassification of certain assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between levels of the hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the end of period. There were no such transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The following tables provide a reconciliation for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically are a result of the application of the lower of cost or market accounting or a write-down occurring during the period. The following table provides the fair value measurement for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the dates presented and the level within the fair value hierarchy each is classified:

Total	$	—	$	—	$	37,144	$	37,144

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets measured on a nonrecurring basis:

Impaired loans: Loans considered impaired are reserved for at the time the loan is identified as impaired taking into account the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including but not limited to equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The fair value of the business assets is generally based on amounts reported on the business’s financial statements. Appraised and reported values may be adjusted based on changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management’s knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Since not all valuation inputs are observable, these nonrecurring fair value determinations are classified as Level 3. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors previously identified. Impaired loans that were measured or re-measured at fair value had a carrying value of $4,063 and $4,406 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and a specific reserve for these loans of $674 and $305 was included in the allowance for loan losses as of such dates.

Other real estate owned: OREO is comprised of commercial and residential real estate obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations. OREO acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at the fair value of the real estate less estimated costs to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for declines in fair value. Fair value, when recorded, is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers and adjusted for management’s estimates of costs to sell. Accordingly, values for OREO are classified as Level 3.

The following table presents OREO measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that was still held in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the dates presented:



	June 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
Carrying amount prior to remeasurement	$	6,750		$	8,290
Impairment recognized in results of operations	(583		)	(1,549		)
Fair value	$	6,167		$	6,741

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing costs, and other factors. Because these factors are not all observable and include management’s assumptions, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Mortgage servicing rights were carried at amortized cost at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and $40 in impairment charges were recognized in earnings during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. There were no impairment charges recognized in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017.



Financial instrument	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Range of Inputs
Impaired loans	$	3,389	Appraised value of collateral less estimated costs to sell	Estimated costs to sell	4-10%
OREO	6,167		Appraised value of property less estimated costs to sell	Estimated costs to sell	4-10%

Fair Value Option

The Company elected to measure all mortgage loans originated for sale on or after July 1, 2012 at fair value under the fair value option as permitted under ASC 825. Electing to measure these assets at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches the changes in fair value of the loans with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.

Net gains of $6,092 and $6,172 resulting from fair value changes of these mortgage loans were recorded in income during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The amount does not reflect changes in fair values of related derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to market-related risks associated with these mortgage loans. The change in fair value of both mortgage loans held for sale and the related derivative instruments are recorded in “Mortgage banking income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s valuation of mortgage loans held for sale incorporates an assumption for credit risk; however, given the short-term period that the Company holds these loans, valuation adjustments attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is nominal. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value is accrued as it is earned based on contractual rates and is reflected in loan interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table summarizes the differences between the fair value and the principal balance for mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value as of June 30, 2017:



	Aggregate Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Difference
Mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value	$	232,398	$	224,404	$	7,994

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing balances with banks. The carrying amount reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.

Securities held to maturity: Securities held to maturity consist of debt securities such as obligations of U.S. Government agencies, states, and other political subdivisions. Where quoted market prices in active markets are available, securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques where all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When assumptions used in model-based valuation techniques are not observable in the market, the assumptions used by management reflect estimates of assumptions used by other market participants in determining fair value. When there is limited transparency around the inputs to the valuation, the instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans, net: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values of fixed-rate loans, including mortgages, commercial, agricultural and consumer loans, are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing, are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Such deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow based on currently effective interest rates for similar types of deposits. These deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term borrowings: Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term FHLB advances. The fair value of these borrowings approximates the carrying value of the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for each respective account given the short-term nature of the liabilities.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances: The fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances is determined by discounting the expected future cash outflows using current market rates for similar borrowings, or Level 2 inputs.

Junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes: The fair value for the Company’s junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes is determined using quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets.

Note 17 – Net Income Per Common Share

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the pro forma dilution of shares outstanding, assuming outstanding service-based restricted stock awards fully vested and outstanding stock options were exercised into common shares, calculated in accordance with the treasury method. Basic and diluted net income per common share calculations are as follows for the periods presented:

Note 18 – Regulatory Matters

(In Thousands)

Renasant Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Renasant Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Renasant Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Renasant Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Renasant Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have issued guidelines governing the levels of capital that banks must maintain. Those guidelines specify capital tiers, which include the following classifications:



Capital Tiers	Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets (Leverage)	Common Equity Tier 1 to Risk - Weighted Assets	Tier 1 Capital to Risk – Weighted Assets	Total Capital to Risk – Weighted Assets
Well capitalized	5% or above	6.5% or above	8% or above	10% or above
Adequately capitalized	4% or above	4.5% or above	6% or above	8% or above
Undercapitalized	Less than 4%	Less than 4.5%	Less than 6%	Less than 8%
Significantly undercapitalized	Less than 3%	Less than 3%	Less than 4%	Less than 6%
Critically undercapitalized	Tangible Equity / Total Assets less than 2%

The following table provides the capital and risk-based capital and leverage ratios for the Company and for Renasant Bank as of the dates presented:



	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
Renasant Corporation
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets (Leverage)	$	880,239	10.68	%	$	858,850	10.59	%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	797,620		11.65	%	766,560		11.47	%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	880,239		12.86	%	858,850		12.86	%

Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	932,564		13.64	%	871,911		13.09	%

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved the implementation of the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and issued rules effecting certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act (the “Basel III Rules”) that call for broad and comprehensive revision of regulatory capital standards for U.S. banking organizations. Generally, the new Basel III Rules became effective on January 1, 2015, although parts of the Basel III Rules will be phased in through 2019. The Basel III Rules implemented a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (“CET1”), and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, as reflected in the table above, and adjusted other items affecting the calculation of the numerator of a banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios. The new CET1 capital ratio includes common equity as defined under GAAP and does not include any other type of non-common equity under GAAP. Additionally, the Basel III Rules apply limits to a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a specified amount of CET1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

revised the agencies’ rules for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and to incorporate certain international capital standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision set forth in the standardized approach of the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework”.

The calculation of risk-weighted assets in the denominator of the Basel III capital ratios has been adjusted to reflect the higher risk nature of certain types of loans. Specifically, as applicable to the Company and Renasant Bank:

— Residential mortgages: Replaced the former 50% risk weight for performing residential first-lien mortgages and a 100% risk-weight for all other mortgages with a risk weight of between 35% and 200% determined by the mortgage’s loan-to-value ratio and whether the mortgage falls into one of two categories based on eight criteria that include the term, use of negative amortization and balloon payments, certain rate increases and documented and verified borrower income.

— Commercial mortgages: Replaced the former 100% risk weight with a 150% risk weight for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans.

— Nonperforming loans: Replaced the former 100% risk weight with a 150% risk weight for loans, other than residential mortgages, that are 90 days past due or on nonaccrual status.

The Basel III Rules also introduce a new capital conservation buffer designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. The capital conservation buffer is composed entirely of CET1, on top of these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. In addition, the Final Rules provide for a countercyclical capital buffer applicable only to certain covered institutions. It is not expected that the countercyclical capital buffer will be applicable to the Company or Renasant Bank. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will be phased in over a 4-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019).

Note 19 – Segment Reporting

(In Thousands)

The operations of the Company’s reportable segments are described as follows:


•	The Community Banks segment delivers a complete range of banking and financial services to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses including checking and savings accounts, business and personal loans, asset-based lending and equipment leasing, as well as safe deposit and night depository facilities.


•	The Insurance segment includes a full service insurance agency offering all major lines of commercial and personal insurance through major carriers.


•	The Wealth Management segment offers a broad range of fiduciary services which include the administration and management of trust accounts including personal and corporate benefit accounts, self-directed IRAs, and custodial accounts. In addition, the Wealth Management segment offers annuities, mutual funds and other investment services through a third party broker-dealer.

In order to give the Company’s divisional management a more precise indication of the income and expenses they can control, the results of operations for the Community Banks, the Insurance and the Wealth Management segments reflect the direct revenues and expenses of each respective segment. Indirect revenues and expenses, including but not limited to income from the Company’s investment portfolio, as well as certain costs associated with data processing and back office functions, primarily support the operations of the community banks and, therefore, are included in the results of the Community Banks segment. Included in “Other” are the operations of the holding company and other eliminations which are necessary for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts.

The following table provides financial information for the Company’s operating segments as of and for the periods presented:

Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include (1) the Company’s ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into its operations, retain the customers of these businesses and grow the acquired operations; (2) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (3) the timing of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (4) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (5) the financial resources of, and products available to, competitors; (6) changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards; (7) changes in policy by regulatory agencies; (8) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (9) the Company’s potential growth, including its entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (10) changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers; (11) an insufficient allowance for loan losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (12) general economic, market or business conditions; (13) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (14) concentration of credit exposure; (15) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; and (16) other circumstances, many of which are beyond management’s control. Management undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), this document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude net interest income collected on problem loans and purchase accounting adjustments from loan interest income and net interest income when calculating the Company's taxable equivalent loan yields and net interest margin, respectively. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate ongoing operating results and to assess ongoing profitability. The reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP for these financial measures can be found in “Results of Operations” below.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Readers of this Form 10-Q should note that, because there are no standard definitions for the calculations as well as the results, the Company's calculations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Also there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to readers of this document. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Financial Condition

The following discussion provides details regarding the changes in significant balance sheet accounts at June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016.

Assets

Total assets were $8,872,272 at June 30, 2017 compared to $8,699,851 at December 31, 2016.

Investments

The securities portfolio is used to provide a source for meeting liquidity needs and to supply securities to be used in collateralizing certain deposits and other types of borrowings. The following table shows the carrying value of our securities portfolio by investment type and the percentage of such investment type relative to the entire securities portfolio as of the dates presented:

	$	1,076,625	100.00	%	$	1,030,530	100.00	%

The balance of our securities portfolio at June 30, 2017 increased $46,095 to $1,076,625 from $1,030,530 at December 31, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we purchased $119,766 in investment securities. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), in the aggregate, comprised approximately 98% of the purchases during the first six months of 2017. CMOs are included in the “Mortgage-backed securities” line item in the above table. The mortgage-backed securities and CMOs held in our investment portfolio are primarily issued by government sponsored entities. Proceeds from maturities, calls, sales and principal payments on securities during the first six months of 2017 totaled $79,381.

The Company holds investments in pooled trust preferred securities. This portfolio had a cost basis of $21,793 and $23,749 and a fair value of $16,992 and $18,389 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017, the investment in pooled trust preferred securities consisted of three securities representing interests in various tranches of trusts collateralized by debt issued by over 250 financial institutions. Management’s determination of the fair value of each of its holdings is based on the current credit ratings, the known deferrals and defaults by the underlying issuing financial institutions and the degree to which future deferrals and defaults would be required to occur before the cash flow for our tranches is negatively impacted. The Company’s quarterly evaluation of these investments for other-than-temporary-impairment resulted in no additional write-downs during the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. Furthermore, the Company's analysis of the pooled trust preferred securities during the second quarter of 2017 supported a return to accrual status for the last remaining security, which had been in "payment in kind" status until December 2016. An observed history of principal and interest payments combined with improved qualitative and quantitative factors described above justified the accrual of interest on this security. The Company had in prior years placed the other two pooled trust preferred securities back on accrual status. For more information about the Company’s trust preferred securities, see Note 3, “Securities,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” in this report.

Loans

Total loans at June 30, 2017 were $6,371,007, an increase of $168,298 from $6,202,709 at December 31, 2016.

The table below sets forth the balance of loans, net of unearned income, outstanding by loan type and the percentage of each loan type to total loans as of the dates presented:

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At June 30, 2017, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not disclosed as a category of loans separate from the categories listed above.

Table of Contents

Non purchased loans totaled $5,058,898 at June 30, 2017 compared to $4,713,572 at December 31, 2016. With the exception of construction loans, the Company experienced loan growth across all categories of non purchased loans, with loans from our specialty commercial business lines, which consist of our asset-based lending, healthcare, factoring, and equipment lease financing banking groups as well as loans meeting the criteria to be guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), contributing $45,948 of the total increase in loans from December 31, 2016.

Looking at the change in loans geographically, non purchased loans in our Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee markets increased by $58,313, $180,911, and $41,254, respectively, when compared to December 31, 2016. Non purchased loans in our Alabama and Florida markets (collectively referred to as our “Central Region”) increased $58,781.

Loans purchased in previous acquisitions totaled $1,312,109 and $1,489,137 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The following tables provide a breakdown of non purchased loans and purchased loans as of the dates presented:

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale were $232,398 at June 30, 2017 compared to $177,866 at December 31, 2016. Even though production is down year-to-date compared to 2016, production in the second quarter of 2017 was improved compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. This resulted in an increased balance in mortgage loans held for sale at June 30, 2017.

Mortgage loans to be sold are sold either on a “best efforts” basis or under a mandatory delivery sales agreement. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, residential real estate originations are locked in at a contractual rate with third party private investors or directly with government sponsored agencies, and the Company is obligated to sell the mortgages to such investors only if the mortgages are closed and funded. The risk we assume is conditioned upon loan underwriting and market conditions in the national mortgage market. Under a mandatory delivery sales agreement, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and delivery date. Penalties are paid to the investor if we fail to satisfy the contract. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. These loans are typically sold within thirty to forty days after the loan is funded. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market.

Deposits

The Company relies on deposits as its major source of funds. Total deposits were $7,202,025 and $7,059,137 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $1,642,863 and $1,561,357 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, while interest-bearing deposits were $5,559,162 and $5,497,780 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Management continues to focus on growing and maintaining a stable source of funding, specifically core deposits. Under certain circumstances, however, management may elect to acquire non-core deposits in the form of public fund deposits or time deposits. The source of funds that we select depends on the terms and how those terms assist us in mitigating interest rate risk, maintaining our liquidity position and managing our net interest margin. Accordingly, funds are only acquired when needed and at a rate that is prudent under the circumstances.

Public fund deposits are those of counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions and may be readily obtained based on the Company’s pricing bid in comparison with competitors. Since public fund deposits are obtained through a bid process, these deposit balances may fluctuate as competitive and market forces change. The Company has focused on growing stable sources of deposits to reduce reliance on public fund deposits. However, the Company continues to participate in the bidding process for public fund deposits when it is reasonable under the circumstances. Our public fund transaction accounts are principally obtained

Table of Contents

from municipalities including school boards and utilities. Public fund deposits were $949,580 and $894,321 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Looking at the change in deposits geographically, deposits in our Mississippi and Georgia markets increased $193,751 and $30,260, respectively, from December 31, 2016, while deposits in Tennessee and our Central Division markets decreased $25,516 and $55,607, respectively, from December 31, 2016.

Borrowed Funds

Total borrowings include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term borrowings, advances from the FHLB, subordinated notes and junior subordinated debentures and are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either short-term borrowings or long-term debt. Short-term borrowings have original maturities less than one year and typically include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased and short-term FHLB advances. At June 30, 2017, short-term borrowings consisted of $9,521 in security repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings from the FHLB of $110,600, compared to security repurchase agreements of $9,676 and short-term borrowings from the FHLB of $100,000 at December 31, 2016.

At June 30, 2017, long-term debt totaled $191,956 compared to $202,459 at December 31, 2016. Funds are borrowed from the FHLB primarily to match-fund against certain loans, negating interest rate exposure when rates rise. Such match-funded loans are typically large, fixed rate commercial or real estate loans with long-term maturities. Long-term FHLB advances were $8,024 and $8,542 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017, $178 of the total long-term FHLB advances outstanding were scheduled to mature within twelve months or less. The Company had $2,336,922 of availability on unused lines of credit with the FHLB at June 30, 2017 compared to $2,633,543 at December 31, 2016. The cost of our long-term FHLB advances was 3.46% and 4.10% for the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company owns the outstanding common securities of business trusts that issued corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities to third-party investors. The trusts used the proceeds from the issuance of their preferred capital securities and common securities (collectively referred to as “capital securities”) to buy floating rate junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company (or by companies that the Company subsequently acquired.) The debentures are the trusts' only assets and interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the capital securities. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company prepaid $10,310 of junior subordinated debentures and incurred a prepayment penalty of $205. The Company's junior subordinated debentures totaled $85,607 at June 30, 2017 compared to $95,643 at December 31, 2016.

The Company’s subordinated notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, totaled $98,203 at June 30, 2017 compared to $98,127 at December 31, 2016.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Net Income

Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was $25,284 compared to net income of $22,900 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. Basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 were $0.57, compared to basic and diluted EPS of $0.54 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

The Company incurred expenses and charges in connection with certain transactions that are considered to be infrequent or non-recurring in nature. The following table presents the impact of these charges on reported earnings per share for the dates presented:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, is the largest component of our net income, comprising 70.39% of total net revenue for the second quarter of 2017. Total net revenue consists

Table of Contents

of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income. The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the volume, mix and repricing of assets and liabilities.

Net interest income increased to $79,603 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $77,157 for the same period in 2016. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest income was $81,453 for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $78,932 for the second quarter of 2016. Net interest margin, the tax equivalent net yield on earning assets, decreased to 4.27% during the second quarter of 2017 compared to 4.29% for the second quarter of 2016. Net interest margin, excluding the impact from interest income collected on problem loans and purchase accounting adjustments on loans, was 3.84% and 3.79% for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The table below presents the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to reported net interest margin.

⁽¹⁾	Includes additional interest income recognized in connection with the acceleration of paydowns and payoffs from purchased loans of $2,674 and $4,533 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which increased net interest margin by 14 basis points and 25 basis points for the same periods, respectively.

Net interest margin and net interest income are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include balance sheet changes in volume, mix and pricing decisions. External factors include changes in market interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. Overall, after excluding the impact from purchase accounting adjustments, the Company is beginning to replace maturing loans with new or renewed loans at similar rates. The increasing loan yield is outpacing the increasing cost of deposits, which is a result of competitive market forces, driving the increase in net interest income.

Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $89,429 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $85,783 for the same period in 2016. This increase in interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, is due primarily to the loan growth in the Company's non purchased loan portfolio coupled with an overall increase in the yield on the Company's earning assets due to replacing maturing assets with assets earning similar or higher rates of interest.

The following table presents the percentage of total average earning assets, by type and yield, for the periods presented:

For the second quarter of 2017, loan income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $4,149 to $78,857 from $74,708 compared to the same period in 2016. The average balance of loans increased $395,847 from the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to organic loan growth. The tax equivalent yield on loans was 5.03% for the second quarter of 2017, a 6 basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact from interest income collected on problem loans and purchase accounting adjustments on loans, the tax equivalent yield on loans was 4.51% and 4.46% for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The table below presents the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to reported taxable equivalent yield on loans.

Investment income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $268 to $8,231 for the second quarter of 2017 from $8,499 for the second quarter of 2016. The average balance in the investment portfolio for the second quarter of 2017 was $1,069,244 compared to $1,111,831 for the same period in 2016, as proceeds from the investment portfolio were primarily used to fund loan growth. The tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio for the second quarter of 2017 was 3.09%, up 2 basis points from the same period in 2016.

Interest expense was $7,976 for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $6,851 for the same period in 2016. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 0.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The following table presents, by type, the Company’s funding sources, which consist of total average deposits and borrowed funds, and the total cost of each funding source for the periods presented:

Interest expense on deposits was $5,315 and $4,420 for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The cost of total deposits was 0.30% and 0.26% for the same periods. The increase is attributable to both the increase in the average balance of total interest bearing deposits as well as an increase in the interest rates on interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits. Although the Company continues to seek changes in the mix of our deposits from higher costing time deposits to lower costing interest-bearing deposits and non-interest bearing deposits, rates offered on the Company's interest-bearing deposit accounts, including time deposits, have increased to match competitive market interest rates in order to maintain stable sources of funding.

Interest expense on total borrowings was $2,661 and $2,431 for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The average balance of borrowings decreased $360,917 to $233,542 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $594,459 for

the same period in 2016. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank offset by the subordinated notes offered in the third quarter of 2016. The cost of total borrowed funds was 4.57% and 1.64% for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Although the average balance of borrowings have decreased, the lower costing short-term borrowings discussed above were replaced with the higher costing subordinated notes.

A more detailed discussion of the cost of our funding sources is set forth below under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this item.

Noninterest Income



Noninterest Income to Average Assets
Three Months Ended June 30,
2017		2016
1.58%		1.68%

Total noninterest income includes fees generated from deposit services, originations and sales of mortgage loans, insurance products, trust and other wealth management products and services, security gains and all other noninterest income. Our focus is to develop and enhance our products that generate noninterest income in order to diversify our revenue sources. Noninterest income was $34,265 for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $35,586 for the same period in 2016. The decrease in noninterest income and its related components is primarily attributable to a decrease in mortgage banking income and the absence of a gain on the sale of securities in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016.

Service charges on deposit accounts include maintenance fees on accounts, per item charges, account enhancement charges for additional packaged benefits and overdraft fees. Service charges on deposit accounts were $7,958 and $7,521 for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Overdraft fees, the largest component of service charges on deposits, were $5,778 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5,330 for the same period in 2016.

Fees and commissions increased to $5,470 during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $4,877 for the same period in 2016. Fees and commissions include fees related to deposit services, such as ATM fees and interchange fees on debit card transactions. For the second quarter of 2017, interchange fees on debit card transactions, the largest component of fees and commissions, were $4,579 as compared to $4,155 for the same period in 2016.

Through Renasant Insurance, we offer a range of commercial and personal insurance products through major insurance carriers.

Income earned on insurance products was $2,181 and $2,175 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Contingency income is a bonus received from the insurance underwriters and is based both on commission income and claims experience on our clients' policies during the previous year. Increases and decreases in contingency income are reflective of corresponding increases and decreases in the amount of claims paid by insurance carriers. Contingency income, which is included in “Other noninterest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $79 and $97 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Trust division within the Wealth Management segment operates on both a fully discretionary and a directed basis which includes administration of employee benefit plans, as well as accounting and money management for trust accounts. The division manages a number of trust accounts inclusive of personal, corporate and employee benefit accounts, self-directed IRAs, and custodial accounts. Fees for managing these accounts are based on changes in market values of the assets under management in the account, with the amount of the fee depending on the type of account. Additionally, the Financial Services division within the Wealth Management segment provides specialized investment products and services to our customers, which include fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds, and stocks offered through a third party provider. Wealth Management revenue was $3,037 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $2,872 for the same period in 2016. The market value of assets under management or administration was $2,944,381 and $3,072,888 at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Mortgage banking income is derived from the origination and sale of mortgage loans and the servicing of mortgage loans that the Company has sold but retained the right to service. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market. Originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $454,312 in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $548,007 for the same period in 2016. The decrease in mortgage loan originations is due to a reduction in the refinancing of mortgage loans as mortgage interest rates have increased. The following table presents the components of mortgage banking income included in noninterest income for the three months ending June 30:

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income is derived from changes in the cash surrender value of the bank-owned life insurance policies. BOLI income decreased slightly to $985 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $996 for the same period in 2016.

Other noninterest income was $2,210 and $2,468 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other noninterest income includes contingency income from our insurance underwriters, income from our SBA banking division, and other miscellaneous income and can fluctuate based on the claims experience in our Insurance agency, production in our SBA banking division, and recognition of other unseasonal income items.

Noninterest Expense



Noninterest Expense to Average Assets
Three Months Ended June 30,
2017		2016
3.44%		3.64%

Noninterest expense was $74,841 and $77,259 for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company recorded merger and conversion expenses of $3,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $2,807 for the same period in 2016. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a penalty charge of $329 in connection with the prepayment of certain long-term FHLB advances. No such charge was incurred during the comparable quarter in 2017. Merger and conversion expenses and debt prepayment penalties are considered nonrecurring expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $373 to $45,014 for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $45,387 for the same period in 2016. Commission expense from mortgage production decreased year over year as a result of the decrease in mortgage originations during the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period of 2016.

Data processing costs decreased to $3,835 in the second quarter of 2017 from $4,502 for the same period in 2016. The decrease for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily attributable to the cost savings realized through contract renegotiations.

Net occupancy and equipment expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $8,814, up from $8,531 for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the enhancements to our IT infrastructure in response to banking and governmental regulation and increased global risk from cyber security breaches.

Expenses related to other real estate owned for the second quarter of 2017 were $781 compared to $1,614 for the same period in 2016. Expenses on other real estate owned for the second quarter of 2017 included write downs of $379 of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned. Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $2,267 was sold during the three months ended June 30, 2017, resulting in a net loss of $189. Expenses on other real estate owned for the three months ended June 30, 2016 included a $987 write down of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned. Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $4,527 was sold during the three months ended June 30, 2016, resulting in a net loss of $181.

Professional fees include fees for legal and accounting services. Professional fees were $1,882 for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $1,846 for the same period in 2016. Professional fees remain elevated in large part due to additional legal, accounting and consulting fees associated with compliance costs of newly enacted as well as existing banking and governmental regulation. Professional fees attributable to legal fees associated with loan workouts and foreclosure proceedings remain at higher levels in correlation with the credit deterioration identified in our loan portfolio and the Company’s efforts to bring these credits to resolution.

Advertising and public relations expense was $2,430 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1,742 for the same period in 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to an increased focus on digital and television marketing throughout our footprint in 2017.

Amortization of intangible assets totaled $1,493 and $1,742 for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. This amortization relates to finite-lived intangible assets which are being amortized over the useful lives as determined at acquisition. These finite-lived intangible assets have remaining estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years to 9.2 years.

Communication expenses, those expenses incurred for communication to clients and between employees, were $1,908 for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $2,040 for the same period in 2016. The decrease can be attributed to the transition from a traditional telephone system to a Voice over IP phone system, which is more cost efficient.



Efficiency Ratio
Three Months Ended June 30,
2017		2016
64.68%		67.46%

The efficiency ratio is one measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. The Company calculates this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and noninterest income. Merger and conversion expenses contributed approximately 263 basis points to the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2017. Merger and conversion expenses and debt prepayment penalties contributed approximately 245 basis points and 29 basis points, respectively, to the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2016. We remain committed to aggressively managing our costs within the framework of our business model. We expect the efficiency ratio to improve from currently reported levels as a result of revenue growth while at the same time controlling noninterest expenses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 was $11,993 and $11,154, respectively. The effective tax rates for those periods were 32.17% and 32.75%, respectively. Although taxable income has continued to increase, the decreased effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is the result of the excess tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock.

of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income. The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the volume, mix and repricing of assets and liabilities.

Net interest income increased to $153,618 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $147,211 for the same period in 2016. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest income was $157,360 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $150,745 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net interest margin, the tax equivalent net yield on earning assets, decreased to 4.14% during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 4.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net interest margin, excluding the impact from interest income collected on problem loans and purchase accounting adjustments on loans, was 3.76% and 3.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The following table presents the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to reported net interest margin.

Net interest margin and net interest income are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include balance sheet changes in volume, mix and pricing decisions. External factors include changes in market interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. Growth in the Company's loan portfolio is the largest contributing factor to the increase in net interest income. Furthermore, after excluding the impact from purchase accounting adjustments, the Company is beginning to replace maturing loans with new or renewed loans at similar rates driving further expansion.

The following table sets forth average balance sheet data, including all major categories of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, together with the interest earned or interest paid and the average yield or average rate paid on each such category for the periods presented:

For the six months ending June 30, 2017, loan income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $10,629 to $152,567 from $141,938 in the same period in 2016. The average balance of loans increased $555,307 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to loan growth in the Company's non purchased loan portfolio. The tax equivalent yield on loans was 4.93% for the six months ending June 30, 2017, a 9 basis point decrease from the same period in 2016. Excluding the impact from interest income collected on problem loans and purchase accounting adjustments, the tax equivalent yield on loans was 4.46% for both the six months ending June 30, 2017 and 2016. The table below presents the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to reported taxable equivalent yield on loans.

Investment income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $243 to $16,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $16,841 for the same period in 2016. The average balance in the investment portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,056,541 compared to $1,107,691 for the same period in 2016. The tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio for the first six months of 2017 was 3.17%, up 11 basis points from 3.06% in the same period in 2016. Due to the recent increases in interest rates, the prepayment speeds for mortgage backed securities slowed in the first quarter of 2017 which led to a higher yield on these securities.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $15,850 as compared to $13,056 for the same period in 2016. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 0.46% for the same period in June 30, 2016.

Interest expense on deposits was $10,463 and $8,380 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The cost of total deposits was 0.30% and 0.26% for the same periods. The increase is attributable to both the increase in the average balance of all interest bearing deposits as well as an increase in the interest rates on interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits. Although the Company continues to seek changes in the mix of our deposits from higher costing time deposits to lower costing interest-bearing deposits and non-interest bearing deposits, rates offered on the Company's interest-bearing deposit accounts, including time deposits, have increased to match competitive market interest rates in order to maintain stable sources of funding.

Interest expense on total borrowings was $5,387 and $4,676 for the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The average balance of borrowings decreased $309,280 to $257,641 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $566,921 for the same period in 2016. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank offset

by the subordinated notes offered in the third quarter of 2016. The cost of total borrowed funds was 4.22% and 1.66% for the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Although the average balance of borrowings have decreased, the lower costing short-term borrowings discussed above were replaced with the higher costing subordinated notes.

A more detailed discussion of the cost of our funding sources is set forth below under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this item.

Noninterest Income



Noninterest Income to Average Assets
Six Months Ended June 30,
2017		2016
1.53%		1.68%

Noninterest income was $66,286 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $68,888 for the same period in 2016. The decrease in noninterest income and its related components is primarily attributable to a decrease in mortgage banking income and the absence of a gain on the sale of securities in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016.

Service charges on deposit accounts include maintenance fees on accounts, per item charges, account enhancement charges for additional packaged benefits and overdraft fees. Service charges on deposit accounts were $15,889 and $15,512 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Overdraft fees, the largest component of service charges on deposits, were $11,457 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $11,066 for the same period in 2016.

Fees and commissions increased to $10,669 for the first six months of June 30, 2017 as compared to $9,121 for the same period in 2016. Fees and commissions include fees related to deposit services, such as ATM fees and interchange fees on debit card transactions. Interchange fees on debit card transactions, the largest component of fees and commissions, were $8,878 for the six months ending June 30, 2017 as compared to $8,154 for the same period in 2016.

Through Renasant Insurance, we offer a range of commercial and personal insurance products through major insurance carriers. Income earned on insurance products was $4,041 and $4,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Contingency income is a bonus received from the insurance underwriters and is based both on commission income and claims experience on our clients' policies during the previous year. Increases and decreases in contingency income are reflective of corresponding increases and decreases in the amount of claims paid by insurance carriers. Contingency income, which is included in “Other noninterest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $766 and $1,129 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Trust division within the Wealth Management segment operates on both a fully discretionary and a directed basis which includes administration of employee benefit plans, as well as accounting and money management for trust accounts. The division manages a number of trust accounts inclusive of personal, corporate and employee benefit accounts, self-directed IRAs, and custodial accounts. Fees for managing these accounts are based on changes in market values of the assets under management in the account, with the amount of the fee depending on the type of account. Additionally, the Financial Services division within the Wealth Management segment provides specialized products and services to our customers, which include fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds, and stocks offered through a third party provider. Wealth Management revenue was $5,921 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5,763 for the same period in 2016. The market value of assets under management or administration was $2,944,381 and $3,072,888 at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Mortgage banking income is derived from the origination and sale of mortgage loans and the servicing of mortgage loans that the Company has sold but retained the right to service. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market. Originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $772,456 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1,006,507 for the same period in 2016. The decrease in mortgage loan originations is due to a reduction in the refinancing of mortgage loans as mortgage interest rates have increased. The following table presents the components of mortgage banking income included in noninterest income for the six months ending June 30:

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income is derived from changes in the cash surrender value of the bank-owned life insurance policies. BOLI income increased to $2,098 for the first six months of June 30, 2017 as compared to $1,950 for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily driven by death benefits received from existing policies.

Other noninterest income was $4,740 and $5,884 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other noninterest income includes contingency income from our insurance underwriters, income from our SBA banking division, and other miscellaneous income and can fluctuate based on the claims experience in our Insurance agency, production in our SBA banking division, and recognition of other unseasonal income items.

Noninterest Expense



Noninterest Expense to Average Assets
Six Months Ended June 30,
2017		2016
3.33%		3.58%

Noninterest expense was $144,150 and $147,073 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Merger and conversion expense was $3,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $3,755 for the same period in 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a penalty charge of $205 in connection with the prepayment of $10,310 of junior subordinated debentures. The Company recognized a penalty charge of $329 in connection with the prepayment of certain long-term FHLB advances during the same time period in 2016. Merger and conversion expenses and debt prepayment penalties are considered nonrecurring expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $557 to $87,223 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $87,780 for the same period in 2016. Commission expense from mortgage production decreased year over year as a result of the decrease in mortgage originations during the first six months of 2017 when compared to the same period of 2016.

Data processing costs decreased to $8,069 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $8,660 for the same period in 2016. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily attributable to the cost savings realized through contract renegotiations.

Net occupancy and equipment expense for the first six months of 2017 was $18,133, up from $16,755 for the same period in 2016. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is primarily attributable to the KeyWorth acquisition coupled with enhancements to our IT infrastructure in response to banking and governmental regulation and increased global risk from cyber security breaches.

Expenses related to other real estate owned for the first six months of 2017 were $1,313 compared to $2,571 for the same period in 2016. Expenses on other real estate owned for the six months ended June 30, 2017 included write downs of $757 of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned. Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $6,986 was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017, resulting in a net gain of $138. Expenses on other real estate owned for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included a $1,281 write down of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned. Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $8,188 was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2016, resulting in a net loss of $231.

Professional fees include fees for legal and accounting services. Professional fees were $3,949 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $3,635 for the same period in 2016. Professional fees remain elevated in large part due to additional legal, accounting and consulting fees associated with compliance costs of newly enacted as well as existing banking and governmental regulation. Professional fees attributable to legal fees associated with loan workouts and foreclosure proceedings remain at higher levels in correlation with the overall economic downturn and credit deterioration identified in our loan portfolio and the Company’s efforts to bring these credits to resolution.

Advertising and public relations expense was $4,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3,379 for the same period in 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to an increased focus on digital and television marketing throughout our footprint in 2017.

Amortization of intangible assets totaled $3,056 and $3,439 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This amortization relates to finite-lived intangible assets which are being amortized over the useful lives as determined at acquisition. These finite-lived intangible assets have remaining estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years to 9.2 years.

Communication expenses, those expenses incurred for communication to clients and between employees, were $3,771 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $4,211 for the same period in 2016. The decrease can be attributed to the transition from a traditional telephone system to a Voice over IP phone system, which is more cost efficient.



Efficiency Ratio
Six Months Ended June 30,
2017		2016
64.45%		66.96%

The efficiency ratio is one measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. The Company calculates this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and noninterest income. Merger and conversion expenses and debt prepayment penalties contributed approximately 152 basis points and 9 basis points, respectively, to the efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2017. Merger and conversion expenses and debt prepayment penalties contributed approximately 171 basis points and 15 basis points, respectively, to the efficiency ratio for first six months of 2016. We remain committed to aggressively managing our costs within the framework of our business model. We expect the efficiency ratio to continue to improve from currently reported levels as a result of revenue growth while at the same time controlling noninterest expenses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $23,248 and $21,680, respectively. The effective tax rates for those periods were 32.06% and 32.95%, respectively. Although taxable income has continued to increase, the decreased effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is the result of the excess tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock.

Risk Management

The management of risk is an on-going process. Primary risks that are associated with the Company include credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Credit risk and interest rate risk are discussed below, while liquidity risk is discussed in the next subsection under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Credit Risk and Allowance for Loan Losses

Inherent in any lending activity is credit risk, that is, the risk of loss should a borrower default. Credit risk is monitored and managed on an ongoing basis by a credit administration department, senior loan committee, a loss management committee and the Board of Directors loan committee. Credit quality, adherence to policies and loss mitigation are major concerns of credit administration and these committees. The Company’s central appraisal review department reviews and approves third-party appraisals obtained by the Company on real estate collateral and monitors loan maturities to ensure updated appraisals are obtained. This department is managed by a State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser and employs two additional State Certified General Real Estate Appraisers, one Appraisal Intern and four real estate evaluators.

We have a number of documented loan policies and procedures that set forth the approval and monitoring process of the lending function. Adherence to these policies and procedures is monitored by management and the Board of Directors. A number of committees and an underwriting staff oversee the lending operations of the Company. These include in-house loan and loss management committees and the Board of Directors loan committee. In addition, we maintain a loan review staff to independently monitor loan quality and lending practices. Loan review personnel monitor and, if necessary, adjust the grades assigned to loans through periodic examination, focusing their review on commercial and real estate loans rather than consumer and small balance consumer mortgage loans, such as 1-4 family mortgage loans.

Table of Contents

In compliance with loan policy, the lending staff is given lending limits based on their knowledge and experience. In addition, each lending officer’s prior performance is evaluated for credit quality and compliance as a tool for establishing and enhancing lending limits. Before funds are advanced on consumer and commercial loans below certain dollar thresholds, loans are reviewed and scored using centralized underwriting methodologies. Loan quality, or “risk-rating,” grades are assigned based upon certain factors, which include the scoring of the loans. This information is used to assist management in monitoring credit quality. Loan requests of amounts greater than an officer’s lending limits are reviewed by senior credit officers, in-house loan committees or the Board of Directors.

For commercial and commercial real estate secured loans, risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration or loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. Loan grades range from 1 to 9, with 1 being loans with the least credit risk. Allowance factors established by management are applied to the total balance of loans in each grade to determine the amount needed in the allowance for loan losses. The allowance factors are established based on historical loss ratios experienced by the Company for these loan types, as well as the credit quality criteria underlying each grade, adjusted for trends and expectations about losses inherent in our existing portfolios. In making these adjustments to the allowance factors, management takes into consideration factors which it believes are causing, or are likely in the future to cause, losses within our loan portfolio but that may not be fully reflected in our historical loss ratios. For portfolio balances of consumer, small balance consumer mortgage loans, such as 1-4 family mortgage loans, and certain other similar loan types, allowance factors are determined based on historical loss ratios by portfolio for the preceding eight quarters and may be adjusted by other qualitative criteria.

The loss management committee and the Board of Directors’ loan committee monitor loans that are past due or those that have been downgraded and placed on the Company’s internal watch list due to a decline in the collateral value or cash flow of the debtor; the committees then adjust loan grades accordingly. This information is used to assist management in monitoring credit quality. In addition, the Company’s portfolio management committee monitors and identifies risks within the Company’s loan portfolio by focusing its efforts on reviewing and analyzing loans which are not on the Company’s internal watch list. The portfolio management committee monitors loans in portfolios or regions that management believes could be stressed or experiencing credit deterioration.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for problem loans of $500 or greater by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For real estate collateral, the fair market value of the collateral is based upon a recent appraisal by a qualified and licensed appraiser of the underlying collateral. When the ultimate collectability of a loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, the loan is placed on nonaccrual.

After all collection efforts have failed, collateral securing loans may be repossessed and sold or, for loans secured by real estate, foreclosure proceedings initiated. The collateral is sold at public auction for fair market value (based upon recent appraisals described in the above paragraph), with fees associated with the foreclosure being deducted from the sales price. The purchase price is applied to the outstanding loan balance. If the loan balance is greater than the sales proceeds, the deficient balance is sent to the Board of Directors’ loan committee for charge-off approval. These charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses. Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through the provision for loan losses.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2017 were $524, or 0.03% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $191, or 0.01% of average loans, for the same period in 2016. The levels of net charge-offs relative to the size of our loan portfolio continue to represent the lowest levels of charge-offs since the 2008-2009 recession. These metrics are due in part to the pace of the economic recovery, declining unemployment levels, improved labor participation rate, improved performance in the housing market, and the Company's continued efforts to bring problem credits to resolution.

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses, including collective impairment as recognized under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 450, “Contingencies.” Collective impairment is calculated based on loans grouped by grade. Another component of the allowance is losses on loans assessed as impaired under ASC 310, “Receivables.” The balance of these loans and their related allowance is included in management’s estimation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Other considerations in establishing the allowance for loan losses include economic conditions reflected within industry segments, the unemployment rate in our markets, loan segmentation and historical losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established after input from management, loan review and the loss management committee. An

Table of Contents

evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is calculated quarterly based on the types of loans, an analysis of credit losses and risk in the portfolio, economic conditions and trends within each of these factors. In addition, on a regular basis, management and the Board of Directors review loan ratios. These ratios include the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans, the provision for loan losses as a percentage of average loans, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans and the allowance coverage on nonperforming loans. Also, management reviews past due ratios by officer, community bank and the Company as a whole.

The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan category as of the dates presented:



	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		June 30, 2016
Commercial, financial, agricultural	$	5,092	$	5,486	$	4,512
Lease financing	530		196		198
Real estate – construction	2,580		2,380		2,269
Real estate – 1-4 family mortgage	12,104		14,294		14,219
Real estate – commercial mortgage	22,600		19,059		21,683
Installment loans to individuals	1,243		1,322		1,217
Total	$	44,149	$	42,737	$	44,098

For impaired loans, specific reserves are established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its estimated net realizable value. The following table quantifies the amount of the specific reserves component of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the allowance determined by applying allowance factors to graded loans as of the dates presented:



	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		June 30, 2016
Specific reserves for impaired loans	$	3,208	$	4,141	$	7,619
Allocated reserves for remaining portfolio	38,781		35,776		34,307
Purchased with deteriorated credit quality	2,160		2,820		$	2,172
Total	$	44,149	$	42,737	$	44,098

The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that is believed to be adequate to meet the inherent risks of losses in our loan portfolio. Factors considered by management in determining the amount of the provision for loan losses include the internal risk rating of individual credits, historical and current trends in net charge-offs, trends in nonperforming loans, trends in past due loans, trends in the market values of underlying collateral securing loans and the current economic conditions in the markets in which we operate. The provision for loan losses was $3,250 and $3,230 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, The consistent amounts of provisioning period over period reflects improving credit quality trends offset by providing for significant loan growth. For purchased loans the provision is calculated based on evidence the loan has deteriorated from performance expectations established in conjunction with the determination of "Day 1 Fair Values" (which equal the outstanding customer balance of a purchased loan on the acquisition date less any credit and/or yield discount applied against the purchased loan) or since our most recent review of such portfolio's performance. Purchased loans will either (1) exceed the performance expectations established in determining the Day 1 Fair Values, resulting in a reversal of any previous provision for such loans, or (2) deteriorate from the performance expectations established in determining the Day 1 Fair Values, resulting in partial or full charge-offs of the carrying value of such purchased loans. If the purchased loan continues to exceed expectations subsequent to the reversal of previously established provision, then an adjustment to accretable yield is warranted, which has a positive impact on interest income.

A majority of the loans purchased in the Company’s FDIC-assisted acquisitions and certain loans purchased and not covered under the Company's FDIC loss-share agreements (prior to the termination of such agreements in December 2016) are accounted for under ASC 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Purchased with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“ASC 310-30”), and are carried at values which, in management’s opinion, reflect the estimated future cash flows, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each respective loan at the date of acquisition. As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of loans accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 was $236,796. The Company continually monitors these loans as part of our normal credit review and monitoring procedures for changes in the estimated future cash flows; to the extent future cash flows deteriorate below initial projections, the Company may be required to reserve for these loans in the allowance for loan losses through future provision for loan losses. Of the entire

allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, $2,160 and $2,172, respectively, is allocated to loans accounted for under ASC 310-30.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned and nonaccruing investment securities. Nonperforming loans are those on which the accrual of interest has stopped or loans which are contractually 90 days past due on which interest continues to accrue. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt or when the payment of principal or interest has been contractually 90 days past due, unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management, the loss management committee and our loan review staff closely monitor loans that are considered to be nonperforming.

Investment securities may be transferred to nonaccrual status where the recognition of investment interest is discontinued. A number of qualitative factors, including but not limited to the financial condition of the underlying issuer and current and projected deferrals or defaults, are considered by management in the determination of whether a debt security should be transferred to nonaccrual status. The interest on these nonaccrual investment securities is accounted for on the cash-basis method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Nonaccruing investment available-for-sale at December 31, 2016 consisted of one of the Company’s three investments in pooled trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions, which are discussed earlier in this section under the heading “Investments”. As discussed in the aforementioned section, the Company's analysis of the pooled trust preferred securities during the second quarter of 2017 supported a return to accrual status for the last remaining security and there were no nonaccruing investment securities at June 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, the acquisition of KeyWorth added $714 purchased nonperforming loans while the acquisitions of Heritage and M&F added $5,881 and $4,750, respectively, of such loans. The KeyWorth acquisition added $217 while the Heritage and M&F added $9,110 and $4,718 in purchased nonperforming loans at December 31, 2016.

The Company experienced improving credit quality metrics during the first six months of 2017. The level of nonperforming loans decreased $8,763 from December 31, 2016 while OREO decreased $3,585 during the same period. As discussed above, at June 30, 2017, the Company had no investment securities on nonaccrual status as compared to $9,645 at December 31, 2016. For more information about the Company’s trust preferred securities, see Note 3, “Securities,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” in this report.

The following table presents nonperforming loans by loan category as of the dates presented:

The decrease in the level of nonperforming loans from December 31, 2016 is a reflection of the Company's continued strategy to aggressively manage problem loans and assets. The Company continues its efforts to bring problem credits to resolution. Total nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.42% as of June 30, 2017 as compared to 0.57% as of December 31, 2016 and 0.72% as of June 30, 2016. The Company’s coverage ratio, or its allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans, was 165.04% as of June 30, 2017 as compared to 120.34% as of December 31, 2016 and 102.28% as of June 30, 2016. The coverage ratio for non purchased, nonperforming loans was 347.74% as of June 30, 2017 as compared to 320.08% as of December 31, 2016 and 366.90% as of June 30, 2016.

Management has evaluated the aforementioned loans and other loans classified as nonperforming and believes that all nonperforming loans have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2017. Management also continually monitors past due loans for potential credit quality deterioration. Total loans 30-89 days past due were $13,537 at June 30, 2017 as compared to $19,858 at December 31, 2016 and $19,648 at June 30, 2016. The 2016 acquisition of KeyWorth added $156 of purchased loans 30-89 days past due while the Heritage and First M&F mergers contributed $2,521 and $1,398, respectively, at June 30, 2017. The KeyWorth merger contributed $1,813 of purchased, loans 30-89 days past due while the Heritage and First M&F mergers contributed $2,909 and $3,662, respectively, at December 31, 2016.

Another category of assets which contribute to our credit risk is restructured loans. Restructured loans are those for which concessions have been granted to the borrower due to a deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition and are performing in accordance with the new terms. Such concessions may include reduction in interest rates or deferral of interest or principal payments. In evaluating whether to restructure a loan, management analyzes the long-term financial condition of the borrower, including guarantor and collateral support, to determine whether the proposed concessions will increase the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest. Restructured loans that are not performing in accordance with their restructured terms that are either contractually 90 days past due or placed on nonaccrual status are reported as nonperforming loans.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the principal amounts of nonperforming and restructured loans as of the dates presented. All loans where information exists about possible credit problems that would cause us to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with the current repayment terms of the loan have been reflected in the table below.

Other real estate owned consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value based on appraised value less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of foreclosure of properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Reductions in the carrying value subsequent to acquisition are charged to earnings and are included in “Other real estate owned” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $6,986 was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017, resulting in a net gain of $138, while other real estate owned with a cost basis of $8,188 was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2016, resulting in a net loss of $231.

Interest Rate Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and therefore differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets and inventories. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in lending and deposit-taking activities. Management believes a significant impact on the Company’s financial results stems from our ability to react to changes in interest rates. To that end, management actively monitors and manages our interest rate risk exposure.

We have an Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) which is authorized by the Board of Directors to monitor our interest rate sensitivity and to make decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may

Table of Contents

adversely impact our earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.

We utilize an asset/liability model as the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk associated with changing market rates. The model is used to perform both net interest income forecast simulations for multiple year horizons, and economic value of equity (“EVE”) analyses, under various interest rate scenarios.

Net interest income simulations measure the short and medium-term earnings exposure from changes in market interest rates in a rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. EVE measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time for a given set of market rate assumptions. An increase in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates an improvement in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in effect over the life of the current balance sheet.

The following table presents the projected impact of a change in interest rates on (1) static EVE and (2) earnings at risk (that is, net interest income) for the 1-12 and 13-24 month periods commencing July 1, 2017, in each case as compared to the result under rates present in the market on June 30, 2017. The changes in interest rates assume an instantaneous and parallel shift in the yield curve and does not take into account changes in the slope of the yield curve. On account of the present position of the target federal funds rate, the Company has not presented an analysis assuming a downward movement in rates.



	Percentage Change In:
Immediate Change in Rates of:	Economic Value Equity (EVE)	Earning at Risk (EAR) (Net Interest Income)
Immediate Change in Rates of:	Static	1-12 Months	13-24 Months
+400	16.50%	5.44%	14.70%
+300	14.21%	4.47%	11.53%
+200	13.96%	3.35%	8.29%
+100	10.80%	1.90%	4.48%

The rate shock results for the net interest income simulations for the next twenty-four months produce a slightly asset sensitive position at June 30, 2017. The Company's interest rate risk strategy is to remain in an asset sensitive position with a focus on increasing variable rate loan production and generating deposits that are less sensitive to increases in interest rates.

The preceding measures assume no change in the size or asset/liability compositions of the balance sheet. The measures do not reflect future actions the ALCO may undertake in response to such changes in interest rates. The above results of the interest rate shock analysis are within the parameters set by the Board of Directors. The scenarios assume instantaneous movements in interest rates in increments of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. As interest rates are adjusted over a period of time, it is our strategy to proactively change the volume and mix of our balance sheet in order to mitigate our interest rate risk. The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes requires numerous assumptions regarding characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing positions. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience. Key assumptions employed in the model include asset prepayment speeds, competitive factors, the relative price sensitivity of certain assets and liabilities and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results will differ from simulated results.

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including interest rate contracts such as swaps, caps and/or floors, forward commitments, and interest rate lock commitments, as part of its ongoing efforts to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure. For more information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments, see the “Off-Balance Sheet Transactions” section below and Note 12, “Derivative Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 1, Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management is the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Management continually monitors the Bank's liquidity and non-core dependency ratios to ensure compliance with targets established by the Asset/Liability Management Committee.

Table of Contents

Core deposits, which are deposits excluding time deposits and public fund deposits, are a major source of funds used by Renasant Bank to meet cash flow needs. Maintaining the ability to acquire these funds as needed in a variety of markets is the key to assuring Renasant Bank’s liquidity.

Our investment portfolio is another alternative for meeting liquidity needs. These assets generally have readily available markets that offer conversions to cash as needed. Within the next twelve months the securities portfolio is forecasted to generate cash flow through principal payments and maturities equal to approximately 13.60% of the carrying value of the total securities portfolio. Securities within our investment portfolio are also used to secure certain deposit types and short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2017, securities with a carrying value of $370,904 were pledged to secure public fund deposits and as collateral for short-term borrowings and derivative instruments as compared to securities with a carrying value of $666,873 similarly pledged at December 31, 2016.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds purchased and short-term and long-term advances from the FHLB. Interest is charged at the prevailing market rate on federal funds purchased and FHLB advances. There were short-term borrowings from the FHLB in the amount of $110,600 at June 30, 2017 compared to $100,000 at December 31, 2016. Long-term funds obtained from the FHLB are used primarily to match-fund fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and also are used to meet day to day liquidity needs, particularly when the cost of such borrowing compares favorably to the rates that we would be required to pay to attract deposits. At June 30, 2017, the balance of our outstanding long-term advances with the FHLB was $8,024. The total amount of the remaining credit available to us from the FHLB at June 30, 2017 was $2,336,922. We also maintain lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling $80,000. These are unsecured lines of credit maturing at various times within the next twelve months. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines of credit at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company issued and sold $60,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 and $40,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031. The carrying value of the subordinated notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $98,203 at June 30, 2017.

Our strategy in choosing funds is focused on minimizing cost along with considering our balance sheet composition and interest rate risk position. Accordingly, management targets growth of non-interest bearing deposits. While we do not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, we do influence those choices with the rates and the deposit specials we offer. We constantly monitor our funds position and evaluate the effect that various funding sources have on our financial position.

Cash and cash equivalents were $236,061 at June 30, 2017 compared to $210,808 at June 30, 2016. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $202,762 compared to cash used in investing activities of $129,864 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Proceeds from the sale, maturity or call of securities within our investment portfolio were $79,381 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $157,607 for the same period in 2016. These proceeds from the investment portfolio were reinvested into the investment portfolio or used to fund loan growth. Purchases of investment securities were $119,766 for the first six months of 2017 compared to $43,724 for the same period in 2016.

Table of Contents

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $124,906 and $135,347, respectively. Deposits increased $143,911 and $133,760 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash provided through deposit growth was primarily used to fund loan growth.

Restrictions on Bank Dividends, Loans and Advances

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources, as well as its ability to pay dividends to its shareholders, are substantially dependent on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Under Mississippi law, a Mississippi bank may not pay dividends unless its earned surplus is in excess of three times capital stock. A Mississippi bank with earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock may pay a dividend, subject to the approval of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance. Accordingly, the approval of this supervisory authority is required prior to Renasant Bank paying dividends to the Company.

Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount Renasant Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At June 30, 2017, the maximum amount available for transfer from Renasant Bank to the Company in the form of loans was $88,409. The Company maintains a line of credit collateralized by cash with Renasant Bank totaling $3,045. There were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit at June 30, 2017. These restrictions did not have any impact on the Company’s ability to meet its cash obligations in the six months ended June 30, 2017, nor does management expect such restrictions to materially impact the Company’s ability to meet its currently-anticipated cash obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company enters into loan commitments and standby letters of credit in the normal course of its business. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Company’s customers. Standby letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, equipment, etc.) is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

Loan commitments and standby letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company in that while the borrower has the ability to draw upon these commitments at any time, these commitments often expire without being drawn upon. The Company’s unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit outstanding were as follows as of the dates presented:



	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Loan commitments	$	1,340,396	$	1,263,059
Standby letters of credit	42,170		44,086

The Company closely monitors the amount of remaining future commitments to borrowers in light of prevailing economic conditions and adjusts these commitments as necessary. The Company will continue this process as new commitments are entered into or existing commitments are renewed.

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including interest rate contracts such as swaps, caps and/or floors, as part of its ongoing efforts to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure and to facilitate the needs of its customers. The Company enters into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract position with other financial institutions. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of default by its commercial customers, through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. At June 30, 2017, the Company had notional amounts of $91,810 on interest rate contracts with corporate customers and $91,810 in offsetting interest rate contracts with other financial institutions to mitigate the Company’s rate exposure on its corporate customers’ contracts.

Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments with its customers to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the commitments to fund fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and also enters into forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors.

The Company has also entered into forward interest rate swap contracts on FHLB borrowings, as well as interest rate swap agreements on junior subordinated debentures that are all accounted for as cash flow hedges. Under each of these contracts, the Company will pay a fixed rate of interest and will receive a variable rate of interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus a predetermined spread.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Matters

Total shareholders’ equity of the Company was $1,271,786 at June 30, 2017 compared to $1,232,883 at December 31, 2016. Book value per share was $28.62 and $27.81 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The growth in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to earnings retention and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income offset by dividends declared.

On September 15, 2015, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The shelf registration statement, which was automatically effective upon filing, allows the Company to raise capital from time to time through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, rights, warrants and units, or a combination thereof, subject to market conditions. Specific terms and prices will be determined at the time of any offering under a separate prospectus supplement that the Company will be required to file with the SEC at the time of the specific offering. The proceeds of the sale of securities, if and when offered, will be used for general corporate purposes or as otherwise described in the prospectus supplement applicable to the offering and could include the expansion of the Company’s banking, insurance and wealth management operations as well as other business opportunities.

The Company has junior subordinated debentures with a carrying value of $85,607 at June 30, 2017, of which $82,729 are included in the Company’s Tier 1 capital. The Federal Reserve Board issued guidance in March 2005 providing more strict quantitative limits on the amount of securities that, similar to our junior subordinated debentures, are includable in Tier 1 capital, but these guidelines did not impact the amount of debentures we include in Tier 1 capital. Although our existing junior subordinated debentures are unaffected, on account of changes enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, any trust preferred securities issued after May 19, 2010 may not be included in Tier 1 capital.

The Company has subordinated notes with a carrying value of $98,203 at June 30, 2017. These notes are included in the Company's Tier 2 capital.

The Basel III Rules implemented a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (“CET1”) and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, as reflected in the table above, and adjusted other items affecting the calculation of the numerator of a banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios. The new CET1 capital ratio includes common equity as defined under GAAP and does not include any other type of non-common equity under GAAP. Additionally, the Basel III Rules apply limits to a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a specified amount of CET1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

Table of Contents

Further, the Basel III Rules changed the agencies’ general risk-based capital requirements for determining risk-weighted assets, which affect the calculation of the denominator of a banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios. The Basel III Rules have revised the agencies’ rules for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and to incorporate certain international capital standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision set forth in the standardized approach of the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework”.

— Commercial mortgages: Replaced the former 100% risk weight with a 150% risk weight for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans.

— Nonperforming loans: Replaced the former 100% risk weight with a 150% risk weight for loans, other than residential mortgages, that are 90 days past due or on nonaccrual status.

The Basel III Rules also introduce a new capital conservation buffer designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. The capital conservation buffer is composed entirely of CET1, on top of these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. In addition, the Basel III Rules provide for a countercyclical capital buffer applicable only to certain covered institutions. It is not expected that the countercyclical capital buffer will be applicable to the Company or Renasant Bank. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will be phased in over a 4-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019).

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2016. For additional information regarding our market risk, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective for ensuring that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
