Loans held for sale, which consist of residential mortgage loans being held until they are sold in the secondary market, were $286,779 at September 30, 2025, as compared to $246,171 at December 31, 2024. 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. Our standard practice is to sell the loans within approximately 45 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.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are loans to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At September 30, 2025, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than loans disclosed in the table above. Non-owner occupied commercial mortgage term loans was the largest concentration and comprised 32.17% of total loans at September 30, 2025. The following table provides additional detail, broken down by collateral type, about loan segments within the non-owner occupied commercial mortgage loan category as of the date presented.

Previous wording

Management continues to focus on growing and maintaining a stable source of funding, specifically noninterest-bearing deposits and other core deposits (that is, deposits excluding brokered deposits). Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 24.45% of total deposits at September 30, 2025, as compared to 23.36% of total deposits at December 31, 2024. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits was primarily driven by the acquisition of The First during the second quarter, as its noninterest-bearing deposits represented 27.72% of its total deposits on the date of acquisition. Under certain circumstances, management may elect to acquire non-core deposits (in the form of brokered deposits) or public fund deposits (which are deposits of counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions). The source of funds that we select depends on the terms of the deposits and how those terms assist us in mitigating interest rate risk, maintaining our liquidity position and managing our net interest margin; business factors, described in the following paragraph, may lead us to obtain public deposits. Accordingly, funds are acquired to meet anticipated funding needs at the rate and with other terms that, in management’s view, best address our interest rate risk, liquidity and net interest margin parameters.

Current wording

The Company relies on deposits as its primary source of funds. Management continues to focus on growing and maintaining a stable source of funding, specifically noninterest-bearing deposits and other core deposits (that is, deposits excluding brokered deposits). Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 23.45% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, as compared to 23.49% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. The slight decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits was primarily driven by the seasonal increase in interest-bearing public fund deposits, offset by growth in noninterest-bearing deposits. Under certain circumstances, management may elect to acquire non-core deposits (in the form of brokered deposits) or public fund deposits (which are deposits of counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions). The source of funds that we select depends on the terms of the deposits and how those terms assist us in mitigating interest rate risk, maintaining our liquidity position and managing our net interest margin; business factors, described in the following paragraph, may lead us to obtain public deposits.

Previous wording

Public fund deposits may be readily obtained based on the Company’s pricing bid in comparison with competitors. Because public fund deposits are obtained through a bid process, these deposit balances may fluctuate as competitive and market forces change. Although the Company has focused on growing stable sources of deposits to reduce reliance on public fund deposits, it participates in the bidding process for public fund deposits when pricing and other terms make it reasonable given market conditions or when management perceives that other factors, such as the public entity’s use of our treasury management or other products and services, make such participation advisable. Our public fund transaction accounts are principally obtained from public universities and municipalities, including school boards and utilities. Public fund deposits were $3,742,390 and $2,256,461 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and represented 17.47% and 15.48% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Total borrowings may include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the “FHLB”), borrowings from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, 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 consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and short-term FHLB advances. The Company assumed $298,250 of FHLB advances as a result of its merger with The First. We also increased short-term FHLB borrowings in the first nine months of 2025 primarily to fund loan growth, particularly in the second and third quarters of 2025. The following table presents our short-term borrowings by type as of the dates presented:

Short-term borrowings have original maturities less than one year and typically consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and short-term FHLB advances. Due to strong deposit growth during the quarter, the Company was able to pay down a portion of the FHLB advances. The following table presents our short-term borrowings by type as of the dates presented:

Previous wording

Long-term debt typically consists of long-term FHLB advances, our junior subordinated debentures and our subordinated notes. The Company assumed $95,262 of subordinated notes and $25,653 of junior subordinated debentures as a result of its merger with The First. The following table presents our long-term debt by type as of the dates presented:

Long-term funds obtained from the FHLB are used to match-fund fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and 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 (which has not been the case in recent periods). Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by a blanket lien on the Bank’s loans. The Company had $5,011,339 of availability on unused lines of credit with the FHLB at September 30, 2025, as compared to $4,004,630 at December 31, 2024. The Company also had credit available at the Federal Reserve Discount Window in the amount of $657,277.

Previous wording

The Company has issued subordinated notes (and assumed subordinated notes in connection with its merger with The First), and the Company owns the outstanding common securities of business trusts that issued corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities to third-party investors, the proceeds of which were used to buy floating rate junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company (or by companies that the Company subsequently acquired). The proceeds generated by the Company’s subordinated notes and trust preferred securities transactions have been used for general corporate purposes, including providing capital to support the Company’s growth organically or through strategic acquisitions, repaying indebtedness and financing investments and capital expenditures, and for investments in Renasant Bank as regulatory capital. On October 1, 2025, the Company redeemed $60,000 in subordinated notes assumed in connection with its merger with The First. The subordinated notes and trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 2 capital under current regulatory guidelines.

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 83.21% of total revenue (i.e., net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income) for the third quarter of 2025. Changes in net interest income are driven by fluctuations in the volume, mix and repricing of assets and liabilities.

Current wording

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 81.96% of total revenue (i.e., net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income) for the first quarter of 2026. Changes in net interest income are driven by fluctuations in the volume, mix and repricing of assets and liabilities.

Previous wording

The average balances of nonaccruing assets are included in the tables above. Interest income and weighted average yields on tax-exempt loans and securities have been computed on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 21%.

Current wording

The daily average balances of nonaccruing assets are included in the foregoing table. Interest income and weighted average yields on tax-exempt loans and securities have been computed on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 21%, and for loans, a state tax rate of 4.45%, which is net of federal tax benefit.

Previous wording

Net interest margin and net interest income are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include balance sheet changes in volume and mix and pricing decisions. External factors include changes in market interest rates, competition and other factors affecting the banking industry in general, and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. The addition of The First’s loan portfolio, strong organic loan growth in 2025 and the Federal Reserve lowering the federal funds rate by 100 basis points in the second half of 2024 were the largest contributing factors to the increase in net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. (The Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in September 2025, but it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results because it occurred late in the quarter.) Lower interest rates and the addition of The First’s deposits generated a positive impact to both the cost and mix of our funding sources. The Company has continued its efforts to mitigate increases in the cost of funding due to competition or otherwise through maintaining noninterest-bearing deposits and staying disciplined yet competitive in pricing on interest-bearing deposits in the current rate environment.

The increase in deposit expense and decrease in cost is attributable to the acquisition of The First’s deposits. The cost of total deposits was also affected by the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts during the second half of 2024, with minor impact from the rate cut in September 2025. The payoff of higher costing brokered deposits has also helped lower our total deposit cost. The Company has continued its efforts to maintain non-interest bearing deposits. Low cost deposits continue to be the preferred choice of funding; however, the Company may rely on brokered deposits or wholesale borrowings when advantageous, to address liquidity needs or as otherwise deemed advisable due to market conditions.

Total noninterest income includes fees generated from deposit services and other fees and commissions, income from our wealth management and mortgage banking operations, realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and all other noninterest income. Our focus is to develop and enhance our products that generate noninterest income in order to diversify revenue sources. Noninterest income was $46,026 for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to $89,299 for the same period in 2024. Noninterest income was $130,755 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $169,442 for the same period in 2024. The decrease in noninterest income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the elevated level of noninterest income in the third quarter of 2024 resulting from the gain on sale of the Company’s insurance agency that occurred in such period, somewhat offset by additional income associated with the acquisition of The First’s operations.

Current wording

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. Interest rate lock commitments and originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $590,160 and $425,482, respectively, in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $543,597 and $412,059, respectively, for the same period in 2024. The increase in interest rate lock commitments for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was due to the slight decrease in mortgage interest rates during the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. Interest rate lock commitments and originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $1,901,918 and $1,220,267 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1,548,198 and $1,053,190 for the same period in 2024. The high rates in 2024 significantly dampened demand for mortgages nationwide.

The efficiency ratio is a measure of productivity in the banking industry. (This ratio is a measure of our ability to turn expenses into revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar that we must expend to generate a 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. The gain on sale of the insurance agency that occurred in the third quarter of 2024 resulted in a significant enhancement to our efficiency ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which contributed to the change in our efficiency ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024. Our goal is to improve the efficiency ratio over time from currently reported levels as a result of revenue growth while at the same time controlling noninterest expenses and eliminating duplicative expenses as we continue to integrate The First into our business model throughout the remainder of 2025.

Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned. 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 problem asset resolution committee and our loan review staff closely monitor loans that are considered to be nonperforming.

The provision for credit losses on loans charged to operating expense is an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses on loans at a level that is believed to be adequate to meet the inherent risks of losses in our loan portfolio. The Company’s allowance for credit losses model considers economic projections, primarily the national unemployment rate and GDP, over a reasonable and supportable period oftwo years.

Current wording

The increase in the allowance for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in non-performing loans, changes in the macroeconomic environment and qualitative factors partially moderated by reduction in the loan portfolio. The provision increased in select residential related pools due to the risk of potential stagflation and value declines. The Company’s allowance for credit loss considers current conditions, economic projections, primarily the national unemployment rate and GDP over a reasonable and supportable period of two years, historical loss data, and environmental factors.

The scenarios assume instantaneous movements in interest rates in increments described in the table above. 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, including asset prepayment speeds, the impact of competitive factors on our pricing of loans and deposits, the impact of market conditions on the securities yields and interest rates of our borrowings, how responsive our deposit repricing is to the change in market rates and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience; however, such assumptions may not necessarily reflect the manner or timing in which cash flows, asset yields and liability costs respond to changes in market rates. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results will differ from simulated results.
