RENASANT CORPORATION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) This Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference statements regardingRenasant Corporation (referred to herein as the "Company", "we", "our", or "us") that constitute "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. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "believes," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "plans," "potential," "possible," "may increase," "may fluctuate," "will likely result," and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should," "would" and "could," are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include information about the Company's future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives and are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management. The Company's management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but they are all inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking statements, and such differences may be material. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees for future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and, accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. In the current environment, one of the most important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements is the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental measures to respond to the pandemic onthe United States economy and the economies of the markets in which the Company operates and its participation in government programs related to the pandemic. In this Form 10-Q, the Company addresses the historical impact of the pandemic on certain aspects of the Company's operations and sets forth certain expectations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic's future impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, asset quality, capital, cash flows and prospects. The Company believes that its statements regarding future events and conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic are reasonable, but these statements are based on assumptions regarding, among other things, how long the pandemic will continue, the pace at which the COVID-19 vaccine can be distributed and administered to residents of the markets the Company serves andthe United States generally, the duration, extent and effectiveness of the governmental measures implemented to contain the pandemic and ameliorate its impact on businesses and individuals throughoutthe United States , and the impact of the pandemic and the government's virus containment measures on national and local economies, all of which are out of the Company's control. If the Company's assumptions underlying its statements about future events prove to be incorrect, the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, asset quality, capital, cash flows and prospects may be materially different from what is presented in the Company's forward-looking statements. Important factors other than the COVID-19 pandemic currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following: (1) the Company's ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into its operations, retain the customers of these businesses, grow the acquired operations and realize the cost savings expected from an acquisition to the extent and in the timeframe anticipated by management; (2) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (3) timing and success 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 from, competitors; (6) changes in laws and regulations as well as 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 credit losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (12) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (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; (16) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses; (17) natural disasters, epidemics and other catastrophic events in the Company's geographic area; (18) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; and (19) other circumstances, many of which are beyond management's control. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated, and is likely to continue to exacerbate, the impact of any of these factors on the Company. Management believes that the assumptions underlying the Company's forward-looking statements are reasonable, but any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. 48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, except as required by federal securities laws. Financial Condition The following discussion provides details regarding the changes in significant balance sheet accounts atMarch 31, 2021 compared toDecember 31, 2020 . Assets Total assets were$15,622,571 atMarch 31, 2021 compared to$14,929,612 atDecember 31, 2020 . Investments The securities portfolio is a liquid source of interest income that also can be used in collateralizing certain deposits and other types of borrowings. The following table shows the carrying value of our securities portfolio, all of which are classified as available for sale, by investment type and the percentage of such investment type relative to the entire securities portfolio as of the dates presented: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Percentage of Percentage of Balance Portfolio Balance Portfolio U.S. Treasury securities$ 3,050 0.20 % $ 7,079 0.53 % Obligations of otherU.S. Government agencies and corporations 1,004 0.07 1,009 0.08 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 328,818 21.41 305,201 22.72 Mortgage-backed securities 1,139,970 74.21 955,549 71.12 Trust preferred securities - - 9,012 0.67 Other debt securities 63,199 4.11 65,607 4.88$ 1,536,041 100.00 %$ 1,343,457 100.00 % During the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , we purchased$465,245 in investment securities. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), in the aggregate, comprised approximately 93% of these purchases. 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. Obligations of state and political subdivisions comprised approximately 7% of purchases made during the first three months of 2021. Proceeds from maturities, calls and principal payments on securities during the first three months of 2021 totaled$95,382 . The Company sold municipal securities, residential mortgage backed securities, and trust preferred securities with a carrying value of$154,034 at the time of sale for net proceeds of$155,391 , resulting in a net gain on sale of$1,357 during the first three months of 2021. Proceeds from the maturities, calls and principal payments on securities during the first three months of 2020 totaled$76,269 . The Company did not sell any securities during the first three months of 2020. For more information about the Company's security portfolio, see Note 2, "Securities," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 1, Financial Statements, in this report. Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale, which consist of residential mortgage loans being held until they are sold in the secondary market, were$502,002 atMarch 31, 2021 , as compared to$417,771 atDecember 31, 2020 . 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 49 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents practice is to sell the loans within 30-40 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. Loans Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, were$10,688,408 atMarch 31, 2021 and$10,933,647 atDecember 31, 2020 . Non purchased loans totaled$9,292,502 atMarch 31, 2021 compared to$9,419,540 atDecember 31, 2020 . Loans purchased in previous acquisitions totaled$1,395,906 and$1,514,107 atMarch 31, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , respectively. The tables below set forth the balance of loans outstanding, net of unearned income and excluding loans held for sale, by loan type and the percentage of each loan type to total loans as of the dates presented: March 31, 2021 Total Percentage of Non Purchased Purchased Loans Total Loans Commercial, financial, agricultural (1)$ 2,105,444 $ 143,843 $ 2,249,287 21.04 % Lease financing, net of unearned income 75,256 - 75,256 0.70 Real estate - construction: Residential 252,795 2,561 255,356 2.39 Commercial 680,791 19,771 700,562 6.55 Total real estate - construction 933,586 22,332 955,918 8.94 Real estate - 1-4 family mortgage: Primary 1,576,212 190,539 1,766,751 16.53 Home equity 432,207 72,413 504,620 4.72 Rental/investment 256,979 28,800 285,779 2.67 Land development 115,522 13,389 128,911 1.21 Total real estate - 1-4 family mortgage 2,380,920 305,141 2,686,061 25.13 Real estate - commercial mortgage: Owner-occupied 1,344,154 300,616 1,644,770 15.39 Non-owner occupied 2,221,206 546,663 2,767,869 25.90 Land development 110,800 25,588 136,388 1.28 Total real estate - commercial mortgage 3,676,160 872,867 4,549,027 42.57 Installment loans to individuals 121,136 51,723 172,859 1.62 Total loans, net of unearned income$ 9,292,502 $ 1,395,906 $ 10,688,408 100.00 %

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a
number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be
similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At March 31, 2021 , 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.
Deposits
The Company relies on deposits as its major source of funds. Total deposits were
$12,736,908 and $12,059,081 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ,
respectively. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $4,135,360 and $3,685,048 at
March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 , respectively, while interest-bearing
deposits were $8,601,548 and $8,374,033 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ,
respectively.
The growth in noninterest-bearing deposits across the Company's footprint during
the current year is driven by government stimulus payments and client sentiment
to maintain liquidity. Management continues to focus on growing and maintaining
a stable source of funding, specifically noninterest-bearing deposits and other
core deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits represented 32.47% of total deposits
at March 31, 2021 , as compared to 30.56% of total deposits at December 31, 2020 .
Under certain circumstances, however, management may elect to acquire non-core
deposits in the form of time 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 and how those terms assist
us in mitigating interest rate risk, maintaining our liquidity position and
managing our net interest margin. 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.
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 municipalities, including
school boards and utilities. Public fund deposits were $1,548,228 and $1,398,330
at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 , respectively.

Borrowed Funds
Total borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, 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 federal funds
purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and short-term FHLB
advances. The following table presents our short-term borrowings by type as of
the dates presented:

Subordinated notes 204,597 212,009

Long-term funds obtained from the FHLB are used 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 March 31,
2021 , there were $89 in outstanding long-term FHLB advances scheduled to mature
within twelve months or less. The Company had $3,681,061 of availability on
unused lines of credit with the FHLB at March 31, 2021 , as compared to
$3,784,520 at December 31, 2020 .
The Company has issued subordinated notes, the proceeds of which 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 the Bank as regulatory capital. The subordinated notes qualify as
Tier 2 capital under the current regulatory guidelines.
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.
Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $57,908 compared to net income of
$2,008 for the first quarter of 2020. Basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS") for the first quarter of 2021 were $1.03 and $1.02 , respectively, as
compared to basic and diluted EPS of $0.04 for the first quarter of 2020. As
discussed in more detail below, our net income was significantly impacted by an
adjustment to the valuation of our mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") and the
absence of a provision for credit losses expense in the quarter.
From time to time, the Company incurs expenses and charges or recognizes
valuation adjustments in connection with certain transactions with respect to
which management is unable to accurately predict when these items will be
incurred or, when incurred, the amount of such items. The following table
presents the impact of these items on reported EPS for the dates presented. The
"COVID-19 related expenses" line item in the table below primarily consists of
(a) employee overtime and employee benefit accruals directly related to the
Company's response to both the COVID-19 pandemic itself and federal

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 57.86% of total revenue (i.e., net interest income on a fully
taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income) for the first quarter of 2021.
The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the volume, mix and
repricing of assets and liabilities.
Net interest income was $109,648 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as
compared to $106,602 for the same period in 2020. On a tax equivalent basis, net
interest income was $111,264 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as
compared to $108,316 for the same time period in 2020.
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

(1)U.S. Government and someU.S. Government Agency securities are tax-exempt in the states in which the Company operates. (2)Interest-bearing demand deposits include interest-bearing transactional accounts and money market deposits. The average balances of nonaccruing assets are included in the table 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% and a state tax rate of 4.45%, which is net of federal tax benefit. 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. As discussed in more detail below, the decline in loan yields due to the current low interest rate environment as well as changes in the mix of earning assets during the quarter due to increased liquidity on the balance sheet were the largest contributing factors to the decrease in net interest margin for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , as compared to the same period in 2020. The Company has continued to focus on lowering the cost of funding through growing noninterest-bearing deposits and aggressively lowering interest rates on interest-bearing deposits. 54 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in interest earned, on a tax equivalent basis, and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and rates for the Company for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , as compared to the same period in 2020 (the changes attributable to the combined impact of yield/rate and volume have been allocated on a pro-rata basis using the absolute value of amounts calculated): Three Months

This decrease in interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, is due primarily to theFederal Reserve maintaining low interest rates sinceMarch 2020 and changes in the mix of earning assets during the quarter due to increased liquidity on the balance sheet.

PPP 73.49 % 83.44 % 4.22 % 4.93 % Paycheck Protection Program 7.38 - 4.40 - Loans held for sale 3.04 2.90 2.96 3.57 Securities 10.27 11.14 2.08 2.91 Other 5.82 2.52 0.10 1.12 Total earning assets 100.00 % 100.00 % 3.74 % 4.57 % For the first quarter of 2021, interest income on loans held for investment, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased$5,669 to$113,072 from$118,741 in the same period in 2020. Interest income on loans held for investment decreased primarily due to theFederal Reserve maintaining low interest rates sinceMarch 2020 . Interest income attributable to PPP loans included in loan interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was$10,687 , which consisted of$2,392 in interest income and$8,295 in accretion of net origination fees. There was no interest income attributable to PPP loans during the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 . 55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The PPP origination fees, net of agent fees paid and other origination costs, are being accreted into interest income over the life of the loan. If a PPP loan is forgiven in whole or in part, as provided under the CARES Act, the Company will recognize the non-accreted portion of the net origination fee attributable to the forgiven portion of such loan as of the date of the final forgiveness determination. PPP loans increased margin and loan yield by eight basis points and two basis points, respectively, during the first quarter of 2021. There was no impact to margin and loan yield attributable to PPP loans for the same period in 2020. The impact from interest income collected on problem loans and purchase accounting adjustments on loans to total interest income on loans held for investment, loan yield and net interest margin is shown in the following table for the periods presented.

(1)Includes additional interest income recognized in connection with the acceleration of paydowns and payoffs from purchased loans of$1,272 and$2,187 , for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. This additional interest income increased total loan yield by five basis points and nine basis points for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, while increasing net interest margin by four and eight basis points for the same respective periods. For the first quarter of 2021, interest income on loans held for sale (consisting of mortgage loans held for sale), on a tax equivalent basis, increased$11 to$2,999 from$2,988 in the same period in 2020. Investment income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased$2,223 to$7,124 for the first quarter of 2021 from$9,347 for the first quarter of 2020. The tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio for the first quarter of 2021 was 2.08%, down 83 basis points from 2.91% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in taxable equivalent yield on securities was a result of the current interest rate environment. Interest expense was$12,114 for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to$23,571 for the same period in 2020. 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: Percentage of Total Average Deposits and Borrowed Funds Cost of Funds Three Months Ended Three Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Noninterest-bearing demand 30.20 % 23.19 % - % - % Interest-bearing demand 46.18 44.29 0.27 0.75 Savings 6.90 6.11 0.08 0.15 Time deposits 12.94 18.98 1.02 1.71 Short term borrowings 0.10 4.06 0.31 1.44 Long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances 1.19 1.37 0.05 1.42 Subordinated notes 1.63 1.01 5.15 5.59 Other borrowed funds 0.86 0.99 4.24 4.85 Total deposits and borrowed funds 100.00 % 100.00 % 0.38 % 0.85 % 56
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Interest expense on deposits was$8,279 and$18,494 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cost of total deposits was 0.27% and 0.72% for the same respective periods. The decrease in both deposit expense and cost is attributable to the Company's efforts to reduce deposit rates as they reprice in the current low interest rate environment. During 2021, the Company has continued its efforts to grow non-interest bearing deposits, and such deposits represent 32.47% of total deposits atMarch 31, 2021 compared to 30.56% of total deposits atDecember 31, 2020 . The growth in non-interest bearing deposits during the year to date has been primarily driven by government stimulus payments and client sentiment. Low cost deposits continue to be the preferred choice of funding; however, the Company may rely on wholesale borrowings when rates are advantageous. Interest expense on total borrowings was$3,835 and$5,077 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is a result of lower average borrowings. 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 March 31, 2021 2020 2.16% 1.13% Total noninterest income includes fees generated from deposit services and other fees and commissions, income from our insurance, wealth management and mortgage banking operations, realized gains 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$81,037 for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to$37,570 for the same period in 2020. 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$8,023 and$9,070 for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Overdraft fees, the largest component of service charges on deposits, were$3,955 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , as compared to$5,896 for the same period in 2020. Management believes the decrease in the first quarter of 2021 relative to the prior period can be attributed to excess customer liquidity driven by the various government stimulus programs initiated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fees and commissions were$3,900 during the first quarter of 2021 as compared to$3,054 for the same period in 2020. Fees and commissions include fees related to deposit services, such as ATM fees and interchange fees on debit card transactions. For the first quarter of 2021, interchange fees were$2,392 as compared to$2,054 for the same period in 2020. ThroughRenasant Insurance , we offer a range of commercial and personal insurance products through major insurance carriers. Income earned on insurance products was$2,237 and$1,991 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 number of claims paid by insurance carriers. Contingency income, which is included in "Other noninterest income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was$1,006 and$892 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our Wealth Management segment has two primary divisions: Trust and Financial Services. The Trust division operates on a custodial basis which includes administration of benefit plans, as well as accounting and money management for trust accounts. The division manages a number of trust accounts inclusive of personal and corporate benefit accounts, 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. The Financial Services division 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$4,792 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to$4,002 for the same period in 2020. The market value of assets under management or administration was$4,453,355 and$3,628,163 atMarch 31, 2021 andMarch 31, 2020 , 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$1,143,349 in the first quarter of 2021 compared to$715,760 for the same period in 2020. 57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents While mortgage loan originations remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels, margins have compressed as the interest rate environment has begun to rise and housing inventories are below demand. Mortgage banking income was$50,733 and$15,535 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in mortgage banking income is primarily the result of a positive mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment of$13,561 during the first three months of 2021 compared to a$9,571 negative valuation adjustment for the same period in 2020. The table below presents the components of mortgage banking income included in noninterest income for the periods presented. Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Gain on sales of loans, net$ 33,901 $ 21,782 Fees, net 4,902 2,919 Mortgage servicing (loss) income, net (1,631) 405 MSR valuation adjustment 13,561 (9,571) Mortgage banking income, net$ 50,733 $ 15,535 Bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") income is derived from changes in the cash surrender value of the bank-owned life insurance policies and death benefits received on covered individuals. BOLI income was$2,072 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 as compared to$1,163 for the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to the$896 of life insurance proceeds received during the first three months of 2021. There were no life insurance proceeds received during the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 . Other noninterest income was$7,923 and$2,755 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Other noninterest income includes income from our SBA banking division and other miscellaneous income and can fluctuate based on production in our SBA banking division and recognition of other seasonal income items. During the quarter the Company entered into a referral relationship with a separate firm to originate PPP loans under the latest round of funding. The Company earned$2,310 of PPP referral fees during the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Noninterest Expense Noninterest Expense to Average Assets Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 3.09% 3.46% Noninterest expense was$115,935 and$115,041 for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits increased$5,507 to$78,696 for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to$73,189 for the same period in 2020. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is primarily due to incentive expenses recognized during the first quarter of 2021. This increase was partially offset by cost savings realized by the voluntary early retirement program offered during the fourth quarter of 2020. Data processing costs increased to$5,451 in the first quarter of 2021 from$5,006 for the same period in 2020. The Company continues to examine new and existing contracts to negotiate favorable terms to offset the increased variable cost components of our data processing costs, such as new accounts and increased transaction volume. Net occupancy and equipment expense for the first quarter of 2021 was$12,538 , down from$14,120 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense is primarily attributable to the restructuring and nonrenewal of certain leases. Expenses related to other real estate owned for the first quarter of 2021 were$41 as compared to$418 for the same period in 2020. Expenses on other real estate owned included write downs of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real estate owned of$70 and$197 for the first three months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, other real estate owned with a cost basis of$1,906 and$782 , respectively, was sold, resulting in a net gain of$56 and a net loss of$12 , respectively. Professional fees include fees for legal and accounting services, such as routine litigation matters, external audit services as well as assistance in complying with newly-enacted and existing banking and governmental regulations. Professional fees were$2,921 for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to$2,641 for the same period in 2020. 58 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Advertising and public relations expense was$3,252 for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to$3,400 for the same period in 2020. Amortization of intangible assets totaled$1,598 and$1,895 for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, 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 approximately 2 to 8 years. Communication expenses, those expenses incurred for communication to clients and between employees, were$2,292 for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to$2,198 for the same period in 2020. Other noninterest expense includes the provision for unfunded commitments, business development and travel expenses, other discretionary expenses, loan fees expense and other miscellaneous fees and operating expenses. Other noninterest expense was$8,854 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 as compared to$12,174 for the same period in 2020. The provision for unfunded commitments was$3,400 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 . There was no provision recorded for unfunded commitments recorded for the same period in 2021. Efficiency Ratio Efficiency Ratio Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Efficiency ratio (GAAP) 60.29 % 78.86 % Adjusted efficiency ratio (Non-GAAP)(1) 63.85 % 68.73 % (1)A reconciliation of this financial measure from GAAP to non-GAAP can be found under the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" heading at the end of this Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 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 ofone 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 table above shows the impact on the efficiency ratio of items that (1) the Company does not consider to be part of our core operating activities, such as amortization of intangibles, or (2) the Company incurred in connection with certain transactions where management is unable to accurately predict the timing of when these items will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount of such items, such as expenses or recoveries incurred in connection with our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our MSR valuation adjustment and the provision for unfunded commitments. We remain committed to aggressively managing our costs within the framework of our business model. 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. Income Taxes Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 was$16,842 and$773 , respectively. The effective tax rates for those periods were 22.59% and 27.80%, respectively. 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 Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments COVID-19 Update. AtMarch 31, 2021 , the Company's credit quality metrics remained stable. The Company is continuing to monitor all asset categories given that any category or borrower could be negatively impacted by the pandemic, with enhanced monitoring of loans remaining on deferral as well as a focus on those industries more highly impacted by the pandemic, primarily the hospitality and senior living industries. In addition, to provide necessary relief to the Company's borrowers - both consumer and commercial clients - the Company established loan deferral programs allowing qualified clients to defer principal and interest payments for up to 90 days. A second 90-day deferral was available to borrowers that remained current on taxes and insurance and also satisfied underwriting standards established by the Company that analyzed the ability of the borrower to service its loan in accordance with its existing terms in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the borrower, its industry and the markets in which it operated. The Company has discontinued its deferral programs as economic 59 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents conditions in the Company's markets have improved to the extent that management viewed a broad deferral program as no longer necessary. AtMarch 31, 2021 , the Company had 592 loans (not in thousands) on deferral with an aggregate balance of approximately$94,000 or 0.96% of our loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) by dollar value. In accordance with the applicable guidance, none of these loans were considered "restructured loans" and thus are not included in the discussion of our restructured loans below. The Company's credit quality in future quarters may be impacted by both external and internal factors related to the pandemic in addition to those factors that traditionally affect credit quality. External factors outside the Company's control include items such as the pace at which the COVID-19 vaccine is administered to residents in the Company's markets andthe United States generally, federal, state and local government measures, the re-imposition of "shelter-in-place" orders, and the economic impact of government programs, including additional fiscal stimulus and the extension of the Paycheck Protection Program. Internal factors that will potentially impact credit quality include items such as the performance of the Company's loans that remain on deferral, involvement in government offered programs and the related financial impact of these programs. The impact of each of these items are unknown at this time and could materially and adversely impact future credit quality. Management of Credit Risk. 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, a problem asset resolution committee and the Board of Directors Credit Review Committee. Oversight of the Company's lending operations (including adherence to our policies and procedures governing the loan approval and monitoring process), credit quality 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 aState Certified General Real Estate Appraiser and employs three additionalState Certified General Real Estate Appraisers and four real estate evaluators. 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. 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 for approval by senior credit officers. For loans with a commercial purpose, risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration and 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 rated loans having the least credit risk. Management's problem asset resolution committee and the Board of Directors' Credit Review 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. 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' Credit Review Committee for charge-off approval. These charge-offs reduce the allowance for credit losses on loans. Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through the provision for credit losses on loans. The Company's practice is to charge off estimated losses as soon as such losses are identified and reasonably quantified. Net charge-offs for the first three months of 2021 were$3,038 , or 0.11% of average loans (annualized), compared to net charge-offs of$811 , or 0.03% of average loans (annualized), for the same period in 2020. The charge-offs were fully reserved for in the Company's allowance for credit losses on loans. Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans; Provision for Credit Losses on Loans. The allowance for credit losses is available to absorb credit losses inherent in the loans held for investment portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for credit 60
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents losses when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis.
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 loans evaluated on a collective (pooled) basis and those evaluated on an individual basis as set forth in ASC 326. The credit loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of the Company's loan portfolio segments. Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes, and the results of those evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and in the Company's process for the estimation of expected credit losses. Credit quality monitoring procedures and indicators can include an 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 our risk rating system, regulatory guidance and economic conditions, such as the unemployment rate and GDP growth in the national and local economies as well as trends in the market values of underlying collateral securing loans, all as determined based on input from management, loan review staff and other sources. This evaluation is complex and inherently subjective, as it requires estimates by management that are inherently uncertain and therefore susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and provision for credit loss in those future periods. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses has two basic components: first, a collective or pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics; and second, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans. •The allowance for credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans is calculated on a collective (or pool) basis, where such loans are segregated into loan portfolio segments based upon similarity of credit risk. In determining the allowance for credit losses on loans evaluated on a collective basis, the Company categorizes loan pools based on loan type and/or risk rating. The Company uses two CECL models: (1) a loss rate model, based on average historical life-of-loan loss rates, is used for the Real Estate - 1-4 Family Mortgage, Real Estate - Construction and the Installment Loans to Individuals portfolio segments, and (2) for theCommercial, Real Estate - Commercial Mortgage and Lease Financing portfolio segments, the Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model, which calculates an expected loss percentage for each loan pool by considering (a) the probability of default, based on the migration of loans from performing (using risk ratings) to default using life-of-loan analysis periods, and (b) the historical severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses incurred per loan pool. The historical loss rates calculated as described above are adjusted, as necessary, for both internal and external qualitative factors where there are differences in the historical loss data of the Company and current or projected future conditions. Internal factors include loss history, changes in credit quality (including movement between risk ratings) and/or credit concentration and the nature and volume of the respective loan portfolio segments. External factors include current and reasonable and supportable forecasted economic conditions and changes in collateral values. These factors are used to adjust the historical loss rates (as described above) to ensure that they reflect management's expectation of future conditions based on a reasonable and supportable forecast period. To the extent the lives of the loans in the portfolio extend beyond the period for which a reasonable and supportable forecast can be made, when necessary, the models immediately revert back to the historical loss rates adjusted for qualitative factors related to current conditions. •For loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, an individual analysis is performed to determine the expected credit loss. If the respective loan is collateral dependent (that is, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral), the expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of collateral is initially based on external appraisals. Generally, collateral values for loans for which measurement of expected losses is dependent on the fair value of such collateral are updated every twelve months, either from external third parties or in-house certified appraisers. Third-party appraisals are obtained from a pre-approved list of independent, third-party, local appraisal firms. The fair value of the collateral derived from the external appraisal is then adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral. Other acceptable methods for determining the expected credit losses for individually evaluated loans (typically used for loans that are not collateral dependent) is a discounted cash flow approach or, if applicable, an observable market price. Once the expected credit loss amount is determined, an allowance equal to such expected credit loss is included in the allowance for credit losses. 61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents In addition to its quarterly analysis of the allowance for credit losses, on a regular basis, management and the Board of Directors review loan ratios. These ratios include the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans, the provision for credit 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 credit losses on loans by loan category and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans as of the dates presented: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 Balance % of Total Balance % of Total Balance % of Total Commercial, financial, agricultural$ 37,592 21.04 %$ 39,031 23.20 %$ 25,937 14.58 % Lease financing 1,546 0.70 % 1,624 0.69 % 1,588 0.87 % Real estate - construction 14,977 8.94 % 16,047 7.85 % 10,924 8.07 % Real estate - 1-4 family mortgage 31,694 25.13 % 32,165 24.68 % 27,320 29.13 % Real estate - commercial mortgage 76,225 42.57 % 76,127 41.66 % 44,237 44.10 % Installment loans to individuals 11,072 1.62 % 11,150 1.92 % 10,179 3.25 % Total$ 173,106 100.00 %$ 176,144 100.00 %$ 120,185 100.00 % 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 did not record a provision for credit losses during the first quarter of 2021, as compared to a provision for credit losses on loans of$26,350 in the first quarter of 2020. The Company's allowance for credit loss model considers economic projections, primarily the national unemployment rate and GDP, over a reasonable and supportable period of two years. Based on the continual improvements in these forecasts over the last few quarters, the Company determined that additional provisioning during the first quarter of 2021 was not necessary. 62

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments; Provision for Credit Losses
on Unfunded Commitments. The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit
losses on unfunded loan commitments, which is included in the "Other
liabilities" line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimates
the amount of expected losses on unfunded loan commitments by calculating a
likelihood of funding over the contractual period for exposures that are not
unconditionally cancellable by the Company and applying the loss factors used in
the allowance for credit losses on loans methodology described above to unfunded
commitments for each loan type. No credit loss estimate is reported for
off-balance-sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the
Company. A roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses on unfunded
commitments is shown in the table below.

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. 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 credit losses on loans. 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.

The Company's coverage ratio, or its allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of nonperforming loans, was 308.54% as ofMarch 31, 2021 as compared to 317.55% as ofDecember 31, 2020 and 240.19% as ofMarch 31, 2020 . 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 credit losses atMarch 31, 2021 . Management also continually monitors past due loans for potential credit quality deterioration. Total loans 30-89 days past due but still accruing interest were$21,801 atMarch 31, 2021 as compared to$26,286 atDecember 31, 2020 and$45,524 atMarch 31, 2020 . Although not classified as nonperforming loans, restructured loans are another category of assets that contribute to our credit risk. 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. As shown below, restructured loans totaled$20,370 atMarch 31, 2021 as compared to$20,448 atDecember 31, 2020 and$11,039 atMarch 31, 2020 . AtMarch 31, 2021 , loans restructured through interest rate concessions represented 37% of total restructured loans, while loans restructured by a concession in payment terms represented the remainder.

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
68
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
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. A sudden
and substantial change in interest rates may 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.
Because of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our profitability, the
Board of Directors and management actively monitor and manage our interest rate
risk exposure. We have an Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") that 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. The ALCO uses 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, each under various interest rate scenarios,
which could impact the results presented in the table below.
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 various 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 April 1, 2021 , in each case as
compared to the result under rates present in the market on March 31, 2021 . The
changes in interest rates assume an instantaneous and parallel shift in the
yield curve and do not account for changes in the slope of the yield curve.
Percentage Change In:
Economic Value Equity
Immediate Change in Rates of (in basis (EVE) Earning at Risk (Net Interest Income)
points): Static 1-12 Months 13-24 Months
+200 17.75% 18.52% 25.83%
+100 9.79% 9.25% 13.19%
The rate shock results for the net interest income simulations for the next
twenty-four months produce an asset sensitive position at March 31, 2021 and are
all within the parameters set by the Board of Directors. The preceding measures
assume no change in the size or asset/liability compositions of the balance
sheet, and they do not reflect future actions the ALCO may undertake in response
to such changes in interest rates.
The scenarios assume instantaneous movements in interest rates in increments of
plus 100 and 200. 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, 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.
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 March 31,
2021 , the Company had notional amounts of $232,095 on interest rate contracts
with corporate customers and $232,095 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.

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 and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans and also enters
into forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to secondary market
investors.
The Company also enters into forward interest rate swap contracts on its FHLB
borrowings and its junior subordinated debentures that are accounted for as cash
flow hedges. Under each of these contracts, the Company pays a fixed rate of
interest and receives a variable rate of interest based on the three-month or
one-month LIBOR plus a predetermined spread. The Company entered into an
interest rate swap contract on its subordinated notes that is accounted for as a
fair value hedge. Under this contract, the Company pays a variable rate of
interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus a predetermined spread and receives
a fixed rate of interest.
For more information about the Company's derivatives, see Note 10, "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. Core deposits, which are deposits excluding time deposits greater than$250,000 , are the major source of funds used by the 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 the Bank's liquidity. Management continually monitors the Bank's liquidity and non-core dependency ratios to ensure compliance with targets established by the Asset/Liability Management Committee. 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 14.60% of the carrying value of the total securities portfolio. Securities within our investment portfolio are also used to secure certain deposit types, short-term borrowings and derivative instruments. AtMarch 31, 2021 , securities with a carrying value of$633,088 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$614,610 similarly pledged atDecember 31, 2020 . 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 no short-term borrowings from the FHLB atMarch 31, 2021 orDecember 31, 2020 . Long-term funds obtained from the FHLB are used 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. AtMarch 31, 2021 , the balance of our outstanding long-term advances with the FHLB was$152,124 compared to$152,167 atDecember 31, 2020 . The total amount of the remaining credit available to us from the FHLB atMarch 31, 2021 was$3,681,061 . We also maintain lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling$180,000 . These are unsecured lines of credit with the majority maturing at various times within the next twelve months. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines of credit atMarch 31, 2021 orDecember 31, 2020 . In 2016 and 2020, we accessed the capital markets to generate liquidity in the form of subordinated notes. In addition, we assumed subordinated notes in connection with our acquisition ofMetropolitan BancGroup, Inc. in 2017. The carrying value of the subordinated notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was$204,597 atMarch 31, 2021 .

Our strategy in choosing funds is focused on minimizing cost in the context of
our balance sheet composition and interest rate risk position. Accordingly,
management targets growth of noninterest-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 $1,261,916 at March 31, 2021 , as compared to
$637,772 at March 31, 2020 . Cash provided by investing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 was $29,466 , as compared to cash used in investing
activities of $130,341 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 . Proceeds from
the sale, maturity or call of securities within our investment portfolio were
$250,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 , as compared to $76,269 for
the same period in 2020. These proceeds were primarily reinvested into the
investment portfolio. Purchases of investment securities were $465,245 for the
first three months of 2021, as compared to $123,670 for the same period in 2020.
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021
was $656,035 , as compared to $476,183 for the same period in 2020. Deposits
increased $677,827 and $199,404 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively.
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
Renasant Bank (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 (the "DBCF"). In addition, the FDIC also has the
authority to prohibit the Bank from engaging in business practices that the FDIC
considers to be unsafe or unsound, which, depending on the financial condition
of the bank, could include the payment of dividends. Accordingly, the approval
of the DBCF is required prior to the Bank paying dividends to the Company, and
under certain circumstances the approval of the FDIC may be required.
Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount the Bank may loan to the
Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At
March 31, 2021 , the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the
Company in the form of loans was $154,899 . The Company maintains a line of
credit collateralized by cash with the Bank totaling $3,070 . There were no
amounts outstanding under this line of credit at March 31, 2021 .
These restrictions did not have any impact on the Company's ability to meet its
cash obligations in the three months ended March 31, 2021 , nor does management
expect such restrictions to materially impact the Company's ability to meet its
currently-anticipated cash obligations.
Potential Demands on Liquidity from Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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
71
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
policies, including establishing a provision for credit losses on unfunded
commitments. 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:
March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Loan commitments $ 2,886,616 $ 2,749,988
Standby letters of credit 92,525 90,597
The Company closely monitors the amount of remaining future commitments to
borrowers in light of prevailing economic conditions and adjusts these
commitments and the provision related thereto as necessary. The Company will
continue this process as new commitments are entered into or existing
commitments are renewed. For a more detailed discussion related to the allowance
and provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, refer to the "Risk

Total shareholders' equity of the Company was$2,173,701 atMarch 31, 2021 compared to$2,132,733 atDecember 31, 2020 . Book value per share was$38.61 and$37.95 atMarch 31, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , respectively. The growth in shareholders' equity was attributable to earnings retention offset by changes in accumulated other comprehensive income and dividends declared. The Company maintains a shelf registration statement with theSecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The shelf registration statement, which was 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 file with theSEC 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. OnOctober 20, 2020 , the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to$50,000 of its outstanding common stock, either in open market purchases or privately-negotiated transactions. The repurchase program will remain in effect for one year or, if earlier, the repurchase of the entire amount of common stock authorized to be repurchased. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock under the stock repurchase plan in the first quarter of 2021. The Company has junior subordinated debentures with a carrying value of$110,939 atMarch 31, 2021 , of which$107,348 is included in the Company's Tier 1 capital.Federal Reserve guidelines limit 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 atMarch 31, 2021 . Although our existing junior subordinated debentures are currently unaffected by theseFederal Reserve guidelines, on account of changes enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, any new trust preferred securities are not includable in Tier 1 capital. Further, if as a result of an acquisition we exceed$15,000,000 in assets, or if we make any acquisition after we have exceeded$15,000,000 in assets, we will lose Tier 1 treatment of our junior subordinated debentures.

The Company has elected to take advantage of transitional relief offered by the
Federal Reserve and FDIC to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on
regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transitional period to phase out
the capital benefit provided by the two-year delay.

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, namely, an adjusted efficiency
ratio and the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans, excluding PPP
loans (the "adjusted allowance ratio"). The adjusted allowance ratio only
excludes PPP loans; the adjusted efficiency ratio adjusts GAAP financial
measures to exclude the amortization of intangible assets and certain items
(such as, when applicable, COVID-19 related expenses, debt prepayment penalties,
restructuring charges, swap termination charges, provision for unfunded
commitments, gains on sales of securities and asset valuation adjustments) with
respect to which the Company is unable to accurately predict when these items
will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount thereof. With respect to COVID-19
related expenses in particular, management added these expenses as a charge to
exclude when calculating non-GAAP financial measures because the expenses
included within this line item are readily quantifiable and possess the same
characteristics with respect to management's inability to accurately predict the
timing or amount thereof as the other items excluded when calculating non-GAAP
financial measures. Management uses the adjusted efficiency ratio when
evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, while it uses the adjusted
allowance ratio to determine the adequacy of our allowance with respect to loans
not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration . In addition, the
Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures facilitate the making of
period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indicators of its operating
performance, particularly because these measures are widely used by industry
analysts for companies with merger and acquisition activities. Also, because the
amortization of intangible assets and items such as restructuring charges and
COVID-19 related expenses can vary extensively from company to company and, as
to intangible assets, are excluded from the calculation of a financial
institution's regulatory capital, the Company believes that the presentation of
this non-GAAP financial information allows readers to more easily compare the
Company's results to information provided in other regulatory reports and the
results of other companies. The reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP for these
financial measures are below.

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 a similarly-titled measure presented by other companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of this measure 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.
