How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

4 terms

Adjusted pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) financial

"Adjusted pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) totaled $189.3 million"

Adjusted pre-provision net revenue (adjusted PPNR) is a bank’s core income from interest, fees and trading before subtracting money set aside for loan losses, with one-time or irregular items removed so the figure shows recurring operating performance. For investors it acts like a company’s ‘everyday’ cash flow—helping assess a bank’s ability to cover future losses, pay dividends or grow, without the noise of temporary gains, write‑offs or accounting quirks.

purchase accounting accretion financial

"impact from purchase accounting accretion related to OFB"

Purchase accounting accretion describes how an acquisition’s required accounting adjustments change a company’s reported earnings per share after the deal. When the purchase price is reallocated to the acquired assets and liabilities, certain items (like tax effects, depreciation or amortization) are recorded differently, and those changes can make reported earnings per share rise over time — showing whether the transaction boosts or dilutes per-share results. Investors use it like checking whether two merged household budgets will increase the amount left over each month after relabeling expenses.

net interest margin (NIM) financial

"The net interest margin (NIM) (TE) was 3.61%"

Net interest margin (NIM) measures how much profit a bank or lending business makes from its core activity of borrowing and lending: it’s the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid to depositors and lenders, expressed as a percentage of the assets that earn interest. Think of it like a store’s markup on goods — a higher NIM means the lender keeps more on each dollar it intermediates, so investors use it to judge profitability and sensitivity to interest-rate changes.

allowance for credit losses (ACL) financial

"The total allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $375.8 million"

Allowance for credit losses (ACL) is an accounting reserve banks and lenders set aside to cover loans and other receivables that may not be repaid. Think of it as a cushion or rainy-day fund that reduces reported assets to reflect expected losses; when the cushion grows, it can signal rising borrower trouble or more conservative accounting, and when it shrinks, it may boost reported profits and capital. Investors watch ACL to judge a lender’s risk exposure, earnings quality, and capital strength.

Compared to June 30, 2026, retail time deposits of $3.6 billion were up $174.2 million, or 5%, including $203.0 million acquired from OFB, partially offset by a net reduction driven by maturities and repricing during the third quarter of 2026.

Average deposits for the third quarter of 2026 were $30.9 billion, up $2.1 billion, or 7%, linked-quarter.

The net interest margin (NIM) (TE) was 3.61% in the third quarter of 2026, up 5 bps linked-quarter, driven by the impact from purchase accounting accretion related to OFB (+4 bps), favorable level of other borrowings (+1 bps), and change in earning asset yield and mix (+8 bps) offset by higher cost of deposits (-8 bps).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes non-GAAP financial measures to describe Hancock Whitney’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently. The reconciliations of those measures to GAAP measures are provided either in the financial tables or in Appendix A thereto.

Consistent with the provisions of subpart 229.1400 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K, “Disclosures by Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants,” the company presents net interest income, net interest margin and efficiency ratios on a fully taxable equivalent (“TE”) basis. The TE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments using the statutory federal tax rate to increase tax-exempt interest income to a taxable equivalent basis. The company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

The company presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures to assist the reader with a better understanding of the company’s performance period over period, as well as to provide investors with assistance in understanding the success management has experienced in executing its strategic initiatives. The company highlights certain items that are outside of our principal business and/or are not indicative of forward-looking trends in supplemental disclosures items below our GAAP financial data and presents certain “Adjusted” ratios that exclude these disclosed items. These adjusted ratios provide management or the reader with a measure that may be more indicative of forward-looking trends in our business, as well as demonstrates the effects of significant gains or losses and changes.

We define Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue as net income excluding provision expense and income tax expense, plus the taxable equivalent adjustment (as defined above), less supplemental disclosure items (as defined above). Management believes that adjusted pre-provision net revenue is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. We define Adjusted Revenue as net interest income (te) and noninterest income less supplemental disclosure items. We define Adjusted Noninterest Expense as noninterest expense less supplemental disclosure items. We define our Efficiency Ratio as noninterest expense to total net interest income (te) and noninterest income, excluding amortization of purchased intangibles and supplemental disclosure items, if applicable. We define Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share – Diluted as GAAP diluted earnings per common share, adjusted for the after-tax effect of supplemental disclosure items using the applicable federal statutory tax rate. Management believes adjusted revenue, adjusted noninterest expense, the efficiency ratio and adjusted earnings per common share - diluted are useful measures as they provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability with prior periods.

Important Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Current Hedge Positions Cash Flow (CF) Hedges Receive 300 bps versus paying 1-month SOFR on $1.95 billion Four additional hedges were executed while no terminations were made during the third quarter of 2026 Total termination value on remaining active CF hedges is approximately ($42) million as of 9/30/2026 Future maturities of existing CF hedges range from October 2026 through January 2031 Fair Value (FV) Hedges Pay an average fixed rate of 1.94% and receive variable rate at FF effective (resulting in these bonds being a variable rate of FF plus 41 bps) No FV hedges were terminated in 3Q26; however, one FV hedge became effective on 7/1/2026 and provided full quarter impact during 3Q26 The $359 million of FV hedges reduced the duration (market price risk) from approximately 5.0 years to 1.0 year on $388 million in hedged securities All $359 million in FV hedges have become effective and contribute to the total portfolio yield Current termination value of FV hedges is approximately $36 million at 9/30/2026 When FV hedges are terminated, the value of each hedge is an adjustment to the book value of the underlying security, thereby changing its current book yield and extending its duration
