Forward Guidance
Pinnacle Financial anticipates that the reduction in noninterest bearing balances will slow from the pace of previous quarters this year. The company believes with more rate hikes in the forecast for 2023, their funding costs will increase but not at the same rate as the second quarter increase. The impact of hiring and usual seasonal growth will enable them to continue to grow deposits for the remainder of the year at levels that should support their current outlook of high single-digit percentage deposit growth for 2023 over 2022. Pinnacle's current outlook is that growth in net interest income for fiscal year 2023 over 2022 should approximate a low-teens percentage increase.

Challenges Ahead
