Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On July 27, 2020, Renasant Corporation (“Renasant”) issued a press release announcing earnings for the second quarter of 2020. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 27, 2020, Renasant also made available presentation materials (the “Presentation”) prepared for use with Renasant’s earnings conference call on July 28, 2020. The Presentation is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 99.2.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
The exhibits furnished herewith may contain, or incorporate by reference, statements about Renasant 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 Renasant’s future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives and are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management. Renasant’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 Renasant’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. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees for future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and, accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

Currently, the most important factor that could cause Renasant’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 on the United States economy and the economies of the markets in which Renasant operates. In the exhibits furnished herewith, Renasant has addressed the historical impact of the pandemic on the operations to Renasant and set forth certain expectations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic’s future impact on Renasant’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, asset quality, cash flows and prospects. Renasant 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 duration and extent of the governmental measures implemented to contain the pandemic and ameliorate its impact on businesses and individuals throughout the 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 Renasant’s control. If Renasant’s assumptions underlying its statements about future events prove to be incorrect, Renasant’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, asset quality, cash flows and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

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: (i) Renasant’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; (ii) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (iii) timing and success of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (iv) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (v) the financial resources of, and products available from, competitors; (vi) changes in laws and regulations as well as changes in accounting standards, such as the adoption of the CECL model as of January 1, 2020; (vii) changes in policy by regulatory agencies; (viii) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (ix) Renasant’s potential growth, including its entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (x) changes in the quality or composition of Renasant’s loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers; (xi) an insufficient allowance for loan losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (xii) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (xiii) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (xiv) concentration of credit exposure; (xv) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; (xvi) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses; (xvii) natural disasters, epidemics and other catastrophic events in Renasant’s geographic area; (xviii) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; and (xix) 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 Renasant. Management believes that the assumptions underlying Renasant’s forward-looking statements are reasonable, but any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. You are urged to carefully consider the risks described in Renasant’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at www.renasant.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Renasant 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.

RENASANT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
EARNINGS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2020

TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI (July 27, 2020) - Renasant Corporation (NASDAQ: RNST) (the “Company”) today announced earnings results for the second quarter of 2020. Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $20.1 million, as compared to $46.6 million for the second quarter of 2019. Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.36 for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to basic and diluted EPS of $0.80 for the second quarter of 2019.

Net income for the six months ending June 30, 2020, was $22.1 million, as compared to net income of $91.7 million for the same time period in 2019. Basic and diluted EPS were $0.39 for the first six months of 2020, as compared to basic and diluted EPS of $1.57 and $1.56, respectively, for the first six months of 2019.

“Our second quarter results reflect a rebound in core earnings when compared to the first quarter and truly highlight our team’s continued commitment to the core operations of the bank,” commented C. Mitchell Waycaster, Renasant President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our team members are continuing to execute our long-term strategy throughout our footprint while providing extraordinary service to our customers. During the quarter, our team closed over
1



10,500 PPP loans and worked through our internal deferral programs with both commercial and consumer customers. While there are still many economic uncertainties, we remain committed to meeting the needs of our clients and prudently managing our balance sheet while focusing on profitable growth without sacrificing credit quality.”

“There are several bright spots in our results that highlight the strong underlying fundamentals of our core business,” commented Kevin D. Chapman, Renasant Chief Operating and Financial Officer. “Our mortgage division had another tremendous quarter, with over $1.67 billion of production, continuing to provide an excellent source of diversity in our revenue streams, and our core expenses are trending in the right direction. Our credit quality remains sound and is top-of-mind as we’ve continued the enhanced monitoring of our loan portfolio implemented in the first quarter of this year, especially the segments we believe are most likely to be adversely impacted by changes in economic activity as a result of the pandemic. Still, in response to the continued economic uncertainty stemming from the pandemic, during the second quarter, we prudently increased our reserves and recorded a $29.5 million provision for loan losses and unfunded commitments. We continue to monitor the impact the pandemic is having on every aspect of our operations, but even during these uncertain times, our commitment to serve the needs of each of our stakeholders remains unchanged.”

Paycheck Protection Program and COVID-19 Response Update
Through June 30, 2020, the Company has closed over 10,500 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.3 billion. The Company made PPP loans to both new and existing customers, and generated over $44.7 million in gross fees. Based on trends thus far, the Company does not anticipate the amount of these fees will be materially impacted by payments required to be made to agents of PPP borrowers.

The Company’s branch lobbies remain accessible by appointment only (and appointments are generally limited to services that require access inside a branch, such as access to a safe-deposit box to address a pressing need), while protocols designed to minimize Company employees’ exposure to COVID-19, such as working remotely, reconfiguring work spaces to promote social distancing and adjusting staff levels, remain in place. As discussed in more detail below, the Company continued to incur expenses, primarily related to employee overtime and other employee benefit accruals, in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic and expects that it will continue to incur elevated expenses even while conditions presenting significant challenges to
2



growth persist. At this time, it remains difficult to accurately predict the duration of this new operating reality. Management’s decision on when to return to pre-pandemic operating procedures will take into account the best interests of all of the Company’s stakeholders.

Impact of Certain Expenses and Charges
From time to time, the Company incurs expenses and charges in connection with certain transactions with respect to which management is unable to accurately predict when these expenses or charges will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount of such expenses or charges. The following table presents the impact of these expenses and charges on reported EPS for the second quarter of 2020. There were no such expenses and charges that had a material impact during the second quarter of 2019 or the first six months of 2019. 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 legislation enacted to address the pandemic, such as the CARES Act, and (b) expenses associated with supplying branches with protective equipment and sanitation supplies (such as floor markings and cautionary signage for branches, face coverings and hand sanitizer) as well as more frequent and rigorous branch cleaning.

Financial Condition
Total assets were $14.90 billion at June 30, 2020, as compared to $13.40 billion at December 31, 2019. Total loans held for investment were $11.00 billion at June 30, 2020, as compared to $9.69 billion at December 31, 2019. Loans held for investment at June 30, 2020 included $1.28 billion in PPP loans.

Total deposits increased to $11.85 billion at June 30, 2020, from $10.21 billion at December 31, 2019. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $1.19 billion to $3.74 billion, or 31.57% of total deposits, at June 30, 2020, as compared to $2.55 billion, or 24.99% of total deposits, at December 31, 2019. The growth in non-interest bearing deposits during the quarter was primarily driven by the Company’s PPP lending (as loan proceeds are held as Company deposits until the borrower utilizes the funds), Economic Impact Payments provided for in the government stimulus package and core growth.

Continued Focus on Prudent Capital Management
The Company remains committed to maintaining a strong capital and liquidity position, while also serving the needs of its stakeholders during these uncertain times. As previously announced, the Company suspended its stock repurchase program during the first quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. There is $5.5 million of repurchase availability remaining under the $50.0 million stock repurchase program, which will remain in effect until the earlier of October 2020 or the repurchase of the entire amount of common stock authorized to be repurchased by the Board of Directors.

At June 30, 2020, Tier 1 leverage capital was 9.12%, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 10.69%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.69%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 13.72%. All regulatory ratios exceed the minimums required to be “well-capitalized.”

The Company’s ratio of shareholders’ equity to assets was 13.98% at June 30, 2020, as compared to 15.86% at December 31, 2019. Its tangible capital ratio (non-GAAP) was 7.97% at June 30, 2020, as compared to 9.25% at December 31, 2019.

The PPP loans originated during the quarter and held on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2020, negatively impacted the Company’s tangible capital ratio by 81 basis points and its leverage ratio by 61 basis points.

Results of Operations
Net interest income was $105.8 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $106.6 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $112.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. Net interest income was $212.4 million for the first half of 2020, as compared to $225.9 million for the first half of 2019.

The Company has continued to experience margin pressure during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates as well as changes in the mix of earning assets during the quarter due to the excess liquidity on the balance sheet. The Company has continued to focus on lowering the cost of funding by growing noninterest-bearing deposits and aggressively lowering interest rates on interest-bearing deposits, while also continuing to be opportunistic when rates offered on wholesale borrowings are advantageous.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2020 was $64.2 million, as compared to $37.6 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $42.0 million for the second quarter of 2019. Noninterest income for the first six months of 2020 was $101.7 million, as compared to $77.8 million for the same period in 2019. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased quarter over quarter due to a decrease in overdraft fees as a result of increased customer liquidity and a decrease in consumer spending due to shutdowns throughout the Company's footprint. Effective July 1, 2019, the Company became subject to the limitations on interchange fees imposed by the Durbin Amendment under the Dodd-Frank Act, which is reflected in the reduction in fees and commissions on loans and deposits in the first six months of 2020 as compared to the first six months of 2019. Mortgage banking income continued to be a strong source of noninterest income for the Company with mortgage production during the second quarter of 2020 of approximately $1.67 billion and year-to-date production of $3.57 billion. Mortgage banking income was offset by a negative MSR valuation adjustment in both the first and second quarter of 2020. The following tables present the components of mortgage banking income for the periods presented (in thousands):

Noninterest expense was $118.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $115.0 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $93.3 million for the second quarter of 2019. Noninterest expense was $233.3 million for the first six months of 2020, as compared to $182.1 million for the same period in 2019. Salaries and benefits expense was $79.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, which represents an increase of $6.2 million from the previous quarter. Compensation related to the continued elevated mortgage production during the quarter increased $3.2 million
9



dollars on a linked quarter basis. In addition, during the quarter the Company recognized approximately $5.8 million in expense related to elevated overtime and other accruals for employee benefits provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company recorded$2.6 million provision for unfunded commitments in other noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to a $3.4 million provision for unfunded commitments in the first quarter of 2020.

Asset Quality Metrics
At June 30, 2020, the Company’s credit quality metrics remained strong. During the first quarter of 2020, in response to the potential economic impact of COVID-19 the Company proactively identified customers in potentially high-risk industries. The Company placed heightened attention on borrowers in the hospitality (such as hotel/motel), restaurant, entertainment and retail trade (the Company does not have material exposure to the energy industry). The Company is continuing to monitor all asset categories given that any category or borrower could be negatively impacted by the pandemic. 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. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 21.5% of the Company’s loan portfolio excluding PPP loans was in deferral. The deferral percentage decreased to approximately 13.5% as of July 24, 2020.

The Company’s credit quality in future quarters will potentially be impacted by both external and internal factors. External factors outside the Company’s control could include items such as federal, state and local government measures, “shelter-in-place” orders, economic impact of government programs and future spread of COVID-19. Internal factors that will potentially impact credit quality include items such as the Company’s loan deferral programs, 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.

The table below shows nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming loans (loans 90 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans) and other real estate owned, as well as early stage delinquencies (loans 30-89 days past due) for the periods presented (in thousands).

The implementation of CECL on January 1, 2020, which required purchased credit deteriorated loans to be classified as nonaccrual based on performance, contributed approximately $5.3 million as of June 30, 2020 to the increase in purchased nonaccrual loans.

The table below shows the allowance transition from the former incurred loss allowance model at December 31, 2019 through the day one transition to CECL on January 1, 2020 and the subsequent reserve build-up through the first half of 2020 and the ending allowance under the CECL model at June 30, 2020 (in thousands).

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $26.9 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments, which is recorded in other noninterest expense, of $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2020. Net loan charge-offs were $1.7 million, or 0.06% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis. The continued elevated provision is driven by qualitative
11



factors related to the uncertainty concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, with forecasted negative GDP growth and high unemployment rates throughout 2020 and into 2021, and a potential prolonged economic recovery period.

The provision for credit losses recorded during the second quarter of 2019 was $900 thousand with net charge-offs of $676 thousand, or 0.03% of average loans held for sale on an annualized basis. The Company’s coverage ratio, or the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans, was 329.65% as of June 30, 2020, as compared to 240.19% as of March 31, 2020 and 143.61% as of December 31, 2019.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This press release may contain, or incorporate by reference, statements about Renasant Corporation 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 forward-looking statements are not guarantees of 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.

Currently, the most important factor 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
13



governmental measures to respond to the pandemic on the United States economy and the economies of the markets in which the Company operates. In this press release, the Company has addressed the historical impact of the pandemic on the operations of the Company and set forth certain expectations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic’s future impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, asset quality, 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 duration and extent of the governmental measures implemented to contain the pandemic and ameliorate its impact on businesses and individuals throughout the 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, 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: (i) 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; (ii) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (iii) timing and success of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (iv) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (v) the financial resources of, and products available from, competitors; (vi) changes in laws and regulations as well as changes in accounting standards, such as the adoption of the CECL model as of January 1, 2020; (vii) changes in policy by regulatory agencies; (viii) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (ix) the Company’s potential growth, including its entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (x) 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; (xi) an insufficient allowance for credit losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (xii) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (xiii) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (xiv) concentration of credit exposure; (xv) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; (xvi) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses; (xvii) natural disasters, epidemics and other catastrophic events in the Company’s geographic area; (xviii) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; and (xix) 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. Investors are urged to carefully consider the risks described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at www.renasant.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

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.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, namely, return on average tangible shareholders’ equity, return on average tangible assets, the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets (commonly referred to as the “tangible capital ratio”), tangible book value per share and the adjusted efficiency ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets and/or certain charges (such as, when applicable, COVID-19 related expenses, merger and conversion expenses, debt prepayment penalties and asset valuation adjustments) with respect to which the Company is unable to accurately predict when these charges 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 (as discussed earlier in this release) were readily quantifiable and possess the same characteristics with respect to management’s inability to accurately predict the timing or amount thereof as the other charges excluded when calculating non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. In addition, the Company believes that these 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 intangible assets such as goodwill and the core deposit intangible and charges such as merger and conversion expenses and COVID-19 related charges 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. Reconciliations of these other non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the table at the end of this release under the caption “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP.”

None of the non-GAAP financial information that the Company has included in this release is intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that, because there are no standardized definitions for the calculations as well as the results, the Company’s calculations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain various statements about Renasant Corporation (“Renasant,” “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 our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives and are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management. We believe 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 our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions about future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking statements; such differences may be material. Prospective investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Currently, the most important factor that could cause Renasant’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 on the U.S. economy and the economies of the markets in which we operate. In this presentation, we have addressed the historical impact of the pandemic on our operations and set forth certain expectations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic’s future impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, asset quality, cash flows and prospects. We believe these statements about 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 duration and extent of the governmental measures implemented to contain the pandemic and ameliorate its impact on businesses and individuals throughout the 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 our control. If the assumptions underlying these statements about future events prove to be incorrect, Renasant’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, asset quality, cash flows and prospects may be materially different from what is presented in our forward-looking statements. Important factors other than the COVID-19 pandemic currently known to us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following: (i) our ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into 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 management anticipated; (ii) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (iii) timing and success of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (iv) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (v) the financial resources of, and products available from, competitors; (vi) changes in laws and regulations as well as changes in accounting standards, such as the adoption of the CECL model on January 1, 2020; (vii) changes in policy by regulatory agencies; (viii) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (ix) our potential growth, including our entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (x) changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers; (xi) an insufficient allowance for credit losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (xii) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (xiii) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (xiv) concentration of credit exposure; (xv) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; (xvi) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses; (xvii) natural disasters, epidemics and other catastrophic events in our geographic area; (xviii) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; and (xix) other circumstances, many of which are beyond our control. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated, and is likely to continue to exacerbate the impact of any of these factors on us. Management believes that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, but any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. Investors are urged to carefully consider the risks described in Renasant’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which are available at www.renasant.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We undertake no obligation, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update or our 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. 2
