The company highlighted its acquisition of Sabal Trust Company, which contributed to some one-time expenses impacting the earnings per share.
Key financial metrics for the quarter included a return on assets of 1.32% and a net interest margin of 3.49%, both showing slight improvements from previous periods. The company experienced a 6% annualized increase in loans, while deposits saw a slight decrease. Notably, the efficiency ratio improved to 54.91%, reflecting better cost management. The acquisition of Sabal Trust Company was a strategic move to enhance trust services, contributing positively to noninterest income.
The company’s asset quality remained stable, with a decrease in criticized commercial loans and nonaccrual loans. The allowance for credit losses was maintained at 1.45% of total loans, ensuring a solid coverage ratio.

Looking ahead, Hancock Whitney’s management remains focused on executing its growth strategy, with expectations of low-single-digit growth in loans and deposits for the remainder of 2025. The company plans to continue enhancing profitability and efficiency while integrating the recent acquisition to expand its service offerings.
