Trustmark Corporation reported a net income of $50.3 million for Q1 2023, with diluted earnings per share of $0.82. The company saw continued loan and deposit growth, strong credit quality, and an increase in noninterest income driven by mortgage banking, insurance, and wealth management revenue. However, the overall strong performance was impacted by increasingly competitive deposit costs, which compressed the net interest margin.
Loan and deposit growth continued during the first quarter.
Credit quality remained strong.
Noninterest income increased linked-quarter, reflecting the strength of diversified business lines.
Expense discipline continued, with noninterest expense decreasing linked-quarter.
Trustmark is focused on efficiency enhancements and technology investments to better serve customers, with a balance sheet well-positioned for additional interest rate increases and solid credit quality. The company is implementing its FIT2GROW program to enhance growth and customer service.
