**Hancock Whitney reports first quarter 2026 EPS of $0.57**

GULFPORT, Miss. (April 21, 2026) — Hancock Whitney Corporation (Nasdaq: HWC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. Net income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $47.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share (EPS), compared to $125.6 million, or $1.49 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2025. The first quarter of 2026 included a pretax charge of $98.6 million, or $0.95 per share, of a supplemental disclosure item related to a net loss on the securities portfolio restructure. Excluding the impact of the supplemental disclosure item, EPS would be $1.52, up $0.03 linked-quarter. The company reported net income for the first quarter of 2025 of $119.5 million, or $1.38 per diluted common share. There were no supplemental disclosure items in the first or fourth quarters of 2025.

**First Quarter 2026 Highlights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Net income totaled $47.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $125.6 million, or $1.49 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Adjusted pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) totaled $172.9 million, compared to $174.0 million in the prior quarter

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Loans increased $33 million, or 1% linked quarter annualized (LQA)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Deposits decreased $198 million, or 3% LQA

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Criticized commercial loans decreased and nonaccrual loans increased

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•ACL coverage solid at 1.43%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•NIM of 3.55%, up 7 bps from the prior quarter

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•CET1 ratio estimated at 13.30%, down 35 bps linked-quarter; TCE ratio of 9.93%, down 13 bps linked-quarter; total risk-based capital ratio estimated at 15.10%, down 35 bps linked-quarter

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Efficiency ratio of 55.43%, compared to 54.93% in the prior quarter

"The first quarter of 2026 was a solid start to the year," said John M. Hairston, President & CEO. "Our diluted earnings per share, adjusted for the supplemental disclosure item, was $1.52, up from $1.49 in prior quarter. Profitability remains strong, with adjusted ROA of 1.43%, an efficiency ratio of 55.43%, and solid fee income and well-controlled expenses. With a focus on sustainable long-term organic balance sheet growth, we continue to invest in revenue-generating activities, including hiring 27 net new bankers in the first quarter. NIM grew 7 basis points to 3.55%, largely due to the completion of our bond portfolio restructuring and lower costs of funds, which more than offset the impact of lower loan yields in this rate environment. We started 2026 by proactively returning capital to shareholders through repurchasing 1.4 million shares of our common stock

------

and the 11% increase in our common stock dividend to $0.50 per share. With a solid capital stack, we believe we are well-positioned for continued organic growth and proactive capital management in the remainder of 2026."

**Loans**

Total loans were $24.0 billion at March 31, 2026, up $33.4 million, or less than 1%, from December 31, 2025. Loan growth was driven primarily by an increase in commercial real estate across multiple products and continued growth in equipment finance.

Average loans totaled $24.0 billion for the first quarter of 2026, up $250.2 million, or 1%, linked-quarter. For 2026, we expect year-over-year mid-single digit end of period loan growth.

**Deposits**

Total deposits at March 31, 2026 were $29.1 billion, down $197.6 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2025.

Noninterest-bearing DDAs totaled $10.3 billion at March 31, 2026, down $30.1 million, or less than 1%, from December 31, 2025, and comprised 36% of total period-end deposits. The linked-quarter decrease in noninterest-bearing DDAs was related to a decrease in public funds DDAs of $75.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 due to seasonal outflows, partially offset by an increase of $45.4 million in non-public funds DDAs.

Interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits totaled $12.2 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026, up $261.2 million, or 2%, linked-quarter. This increase was due to competitive products and pricing.

Compared to December 31, 2025, retail time deposits of $3.6 billion were down $148.7 million, or 4%, driven by maturity concentration and promotional rate reductions during the first quarter of 2026. Interest-bearing public fund deposits decreased $280.0 million, or 9%, linked-quarter, totaling $2.9 billion at March 31, 2026. The decrease in interest-bearing public funds was driven by seasonal outflows.

Average deposits for the first quarter of 2026 were $28.8 billion, up $18.2 million, or 1%, linked-quarter. Management expects 2026 period-end deposits to be up low-single digits from December 31, 2025 levels.

**Asset Quality**

The total allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $343.7 million at March 31, 2026, up $2.0 million from December 31, 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the company recorded a provision for credit losses of $13.2 million, compared to $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. There were $11.1 million of net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2026, or 0.19% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $13.0 million, or 0.22% of average total loans in the fourth quarter of 2025. The ratio of ACL to period-end loans was 1.43% at March 31, 2026, unchanged compared to December 31, 2025.

Criticized commercial loans totaled $522.2 million, or 2.79% of total commercial loans, at March 31, 2026, down $13.2 million from $535.4 million, or 2.88% of total commercial loans, at December 31, 2025. Nonaccrual loans totaled $113.3 million, or 0.47% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $106.9 million, or 0.45% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. ORE and foreclosed assets were $11.3 million at March 31, 2026, down $3.5 million, or 24%, from $14.8 million at December 31, 2025.

**Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (NIM) (TE)**

Net interest income (TE) for the first quarter of 2026 was $287.6 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 1%, from the fourth quarter of 2025. The net interest margin (NIM) (TE) was 3.55% in the first quarter of 2026, up 7 bps linked-quarter, driven by higher securities yields (+5 bps), and lower cost of funds (+8 bps), partially offset by lower loan yields (-6 bps).

Average earning assets were $32.7 billion for the first quarter of 2026, up $100.5 million, or less than 1%, from the fourth quarter of 2025.

**Noninterest Income**

Noninterest income totaled $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $107.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Included in noninterest income in the first quarter of 2026 was a supplemental disclosure item of a ($98.6) million loss in connection with a securities portfolio restructuring. There were no supplemental disclosure items related to noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2025. Adjusting for this item, noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $106.1 million, down $1.0 million, or 1% linked-quarter.

Other noninterest income was $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, down $1.6 million, or 9%, from the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease in other noninterest income was primarily due to lower SBIC and derivative income, partially offset by higher syndication fees and SBA income.

**Noninterest Expense & Taxes**

Noninterest expense totaled $220.7 million, up $2.9 million, or 1% linked-quarter.

Personnel expense totaled $127.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, up $4.6 million, or 4%, linked-quarter due to seasonal increases in payroll taxes and benefits.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

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

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

The company presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures to assist the reader with a better understanding of the company's performance period over period, as well as to provide investors with assistance in understanding the success management has experienced in executing its strategic initiatives. The company highlights certain items that are outside of our

------

principal business and/or are not indicative of forward-looking trends in supplemental disclosures items below our GAAP financial data and presents certain "Adjusted" ratios that exclude these disclosed items. These adjusted ratios provide management or the reader with a measure that may be more indicative of forward-looking trends in our business, as well as demonstrates the effects of significant gains or losses and changes.

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