TRUSTMARK CORP - 10-K - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The following provides a narrative discussion and analysis of Trustmark
Corporation's (Trustmark) financial condition and results of operations. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the supplemental financial data included elsewhere in this
report.
Executive Overview
2012 was a year of significant achievement for Trustmark, particularly in light
of prevailing economic conditions. Trustmark continues to build upon and expand
customer relationships, which is reflected in its strong financial
performance. Trustmark's net income available to common shareholders increased
9.8% during 2012 despite a 2.3% decline in net interest income. Historically low
interest rates contributed to record levels of profitability by Trustmark's
mortgage banking business. Trustmark also experienced increased profitability in
its insurance and wealth management businesses. Please see the section captioned
"Financial Highlights" below for a more complete overview of Trustmark's 2012
financial performance. Trustmark's credit quality indicators continued to
experience significant improvements. During 2012, Trustmark completed the
acquisition of Bay Bank & Trust Company (Bay Bank) in Florida and announced
plans to merge with Alabama-based BancTrust, which was effective as of the close
of business on February 15, 2013. Trustmark also made investments in technology
designed to increase revenue and improve efficiency.
While the economy has shown moderate signs of improvement, lingering economic
concerns resulting from the cumulative weight of soft U.S. labor markets, the
Eurozone crisis, slowing growth in emerging markets and uncertainty regarding
the effects of the resolution of the U.S. "fiscal cliff," have tempered any
optimism for economic improvement during 2013. Doubts surrounding the
sustainability of these signs of improvement are expected to persist for some
time, especially as the magnitude of economic distress facing the local markets
in which Trustmark operates places continued pressure on asset growth, asset
quality and earnings, with the potential for undermining the stability of the
banking organizations that serve these markets. Please see The Current Economic
Environment included in Item 1 - Business, located elsewhere in this report, for
an overview of the economic environment and the impact to Trustmark.

Management has continued to carefully monitor the impact of illiquidity in the
financial markets, values of securities and other assets, loan performance,
default rates and other financial and macro-economic indicators, in order to
navigate the challenging economic environment. In response to this analysis,
Management has continued to reduce certain loan categories, including land
development, other land loans and indirect consumer auto loans.
Trustmark National Bank (TNB) did not make significant changes to its loan
underwriting standards during 2012. TNB's willingness to make loans to qualified
applicants that meet its traditional, prudent lending standards has not
changed. TNB adheres to interagency guidelines regarding concentration limits of
commercial real estate loans. As a result of the economic downturn, TNB remains
cautious in granting credit involving certain categories of real estate as well
as making exceptions to its loan policy.
Management has continued its practice of maintaining excess funding capacity to
provide Trustmark with adequate liquidity for its ongoing operations. In this
regard, Trustmark benefits from its strong deposit base, its highly liquid
investment portfolio and its access to funding from a variety of external
funding sources such as upstream federal funds lines, Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) advances and brokered deposits.
Critical Accounting Policies
Trustmark's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and follow general
practices within the financial services industry. Application of these
accounting principles requires Management to make estimates, assumptions and
judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments
are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial
statements; accordingly, as this information changes, actual financial results
could differ from those estimates.
Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates,
assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing
results that could be materially different than originally reported. These
critical accounting policies are described in detail below.
For additional information regarding the accounting policies discussed below,
please see the notes to Trustmark's Consolidated Financial Statements set forth
in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Allowance for Loan Losses, Loans Held for Investment (LHFI)
The allowance for loan losses, LHFI is established through provisions for
estimated loan losses charged against net income. The allowance account is
maintained at a level which is believed to be adequate by Management based on
estimated probable losses within the LHFI portfolio. Evaluations of the
portfolio and individual credits are inherently subjective, as they require
estimates, assumptions, and judgments as to the facts and circumstances of
particular situations. Some of the factors considered, such as amounts and
timing of future cash flows expected to be received, may be susceptible to
significant change.
Trustmark's allowance methodology is based on guidance provided in the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues," as
well as other regulatory guidance. The allowance for loan losses, LHFI consists
of three components: (i) a historical valuation allowance determined in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) Topic 450, "Contingencies," based on historical loan loss
experience for LHFI with similar characteristics and trends, (ii) a specific
valuation allowance determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310,
"Receivables," based on probable losses on specific LHFI, and (iii) a
qualitative risk valuation allowance determined in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 450 based on general economic conditions and other specific internal and
external qualitative risk factors. Each of these components calls for estimates,
assumptions, and judgments as described below.
Historical Valuation Allowance
The historical valuation allowance is derived by application of a historical net
loss percentage to the outstanding balances of LHFI contained in designated
pools and risk rating categories. Pools are established by grouping credits that
display similar characteristics and trends such as commercial LHFI for working
capital purposes and non-working capital purposes, commercial real estate LHFI
(which are further segregated into construction, land, lots and development,
owner-occupied and non-owner occupied categories), 1-4 family mortgage LHFI and
other consumer LHFI. LHFI are further segregated based on Trustmark's internal
credit risk rating process that evaluates, among other things: the obligor's
ability and willingness to pay, the value of underlying collateral, the ability
of guarantors to meet their payment obligations, management experience and
effectiveness and the economic environment and industry in which the borrower
operates. The historical net loss percentages, calculated on a quarterly basis,
are proportionally distributed to each grade within loan groups based upon
degree of risk.
30--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Loans-Specific Valuation Allowance
Once a LHFI is classified, it is subject to periodic review to determine whether
or not the loan is impaired. If determined to be impaired, the loan is evaluated
using one of the valuation criteria contained in FASB ASC Topic 310. A formal
impairment analysis is performed on all commercial non-accrual LHFI with an
outstanding balance of $500,000 or more, and based upon this analysis LHFI are
written down to net realizable value.
Qualitative Risk Valuation Allowance
The qualitative risk valuation allowance is based on general economic conditions
and other internal and external factors affecting Trustmark as a whole as well
as specific LHFI. Factors considered include the following within Trustmark's
four geographic market regions: the experience, ability, and effectiveness of
Trustmark's lending management and staff; adherence to Trustmark's loans
policies, procedures, and internal controls; the volume of other exceptions
relating to collateral and financial documentation; concentrations; recent
performance trends; regional economic trends; the impact of recent acquisitions;
and the impact of significant natural disasters. These factors are evaluated on
a quarterly basis with the results incorporated into a "qualitative factor
allocation matrix" which is used to establish an appropriate allowance.
A significant shift in one or more factors identified above could result in a
material change to Trustmark's allowance for loan losses, LHFI. For example, if
there were changes in one or more of these estimates, assumptions or judgments
as they relate to a portfolio of commercial LHFI, Trustmark could find that it
needs to increase the level of future provisions for possible loan losses in
respect of that portfolio. Additionally, credit deterioration of specific
borrowers due to changes in these factors could cause the risk rating of those
borrowers' commercial loans on Trustmark's internal loan grading system to shift
to a more severe risk rating. As a result, Trustmark could find that it needs to
increase the level of future provisions for possible loan losses in respect of
these LHFI. Given the interdependent and highly factual nature of many of these
estimates, assumptions and judgments, it is not possible to provide meaningful
quantitative estimates of the impact of any such potential shifts.
Acquired Loans
Acquired loans are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The
acquired loans are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition
date. Fair value of acquired loans is determined using a discounted cash flow
model based on assumptions regarding the amount and timing of principal and
interest payments, estimated prepayments, estimated default rates, estimated
loss severity in the event of defaults, and current market rates. Estimated
credit losses are included in the determination of fair value; therefore, an
allowance for loan losses is not recorded on the acquisition date.
TNB accounts for acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, "Loans and
Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality." An acquired loan is
considered impaired when there is evidence of credit deterioration since
origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that TNB will be
unable to collect all contractually required payments. Acquired loans accounted
for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 are referred to as "acquired impaired loans."
Revolving credit agreements such as home equity lines are excluded from acquired
impaired loan accounting requirements.
For acquired impaired loans, TNB (a) calculates the contractual amount and
timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the "undiscounted
contractual cash flows") and (b) estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted
expected principal and interest payments (the "undiscounted expected cash
flows"). Under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, the difference between the undiscounted
contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the
nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference represents an estimate of
the loss exposure of principal and interest related to the acquired impaired
loan portfolio and such amount is subject to change over time based on the
performance of such loans.
The excess of expected cash flows at acquisition over the initial fair value of
acquired impaired loans is referred to as the "accretable yield" and is recorded
as interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the effective
yield method if the timing and amount of the future cash flows is reasonably
estimable. Improvements in expected cash flows over those originally estimated
increase the accretable yield and are recognized as interest income
prospectively. Decreases in the amount and changes in the timing of expected
cash flows compared to those originally estimated decrease the accretable yield
and usually result in a provision for loan losses and the establishment of an
allowance for loan losses. The carrying value of acquired impaired loans is
reduced by payments received, both principal and interest, and increased by the
portion of the accretable yield recognized as interest income.
31--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
As required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30, TNB periodically re-estimates the expected
cash flows to be collected over the life of the acquired impaired loans. If,
based on current information and events, it is probable that Trustmark will be
unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash
flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after
acquisition, the acquired loans are considered impaired. The decrease in the
expected cash flows reduces the carrying value of the acquired impaired loans as
well as the accretable yield and results in a charge to income through the
provision for loans losses and the establishment of an allowance for loan
losses. If, based on current information and events, it is probable that there
is a significant increase in the cash flows previously expected to be collected
or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously
expected, TNB will reduce any remaining allowance for loan losses established on
the acquired impaired loans for the increase in the present value of cash flows
expected to be collected. The increase in the expected cash flows for the
acquired impaired loans over those originally estimated at acquisition increases
the carrying value of the acquired loans as well as the accretable yield. The
increase in the accretable yield is recognized as interest income over the
remaining average life of the acquired impaired loans.
Under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, acquired impaired loans are generally considered
accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the
estimated life of the loan when expected cash flows are reasonably estimable.
Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still
considered to be accruing and performing loans as long as the estimated cash
flows are received as expected. If the timing and amount of cash flows is not
reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans and
interest income may be recognized on a cash basis or as a reduction of the
principal amount outstanding.
Covered Loans
Loans acquired in a FDIC-assisted transaction and covered under loss-share
agreements, such as those acquired from Heritage Banking Group (Heritage) in
2011, are referred to as "covered loans" and are reported separately in
Trustmark's consolidated financial statements. The covered loans are recorded at
their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition exclusive of the expected
reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC.
FDIC Indemnification Asset
TNB has elected to account for amounts receivable under a loss-share agreement
as an indemnification asset in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, "Business
Combinations." The FDIC indemnification asset is initially recorded at fair
value, based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows under the
loss-share agreement. The difference between the present value at the
acquisition date and the undiscounted cash flows TNB expects to collect from the
FDIC is accreted into noninterest income over the life of the FDIC
indemnification asset. Pursuant to the provisions of the loss-share agreement,
the FDIC indemnification asset is presented net of any true-up provision due to
the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement. Please refer to Note 2
- Business Combinations in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
for additional information regarding the FDIC true-up provision under the
loss-share agreement.
The FDIC indemnification asset is reduced as expected losses on covered loans
and covered other real estate decline or as loss-share claims are submitted to
the FDIC. The FDIC indemnification asset is revalued concurrent with the loan
re-estimation and adjusted for any changes in expected cash flows based on
recent performance and expectations for future performance of covered loans and
covered other real estate. These adjustments are measured on the same basis as
the related covered loans and covered other real estate. Increases in the cash
flow of the covered loans and covered other real estate over those expected
reduce the FDIC indemnification asset, and decreases in the cash flow of the
covered loans and covered other real estate under those expected increase the
FDIC indemnification asset. Increases and decreases to the FDIC indemnification
asset are recorded as adjustments to noninterest income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Trustmark recognizes as an asset the rights to service mortgage loans for others
(mortgage servicing rights, or MSR) with respect to loans originated by
Trustmark or acquired through its wholesale network. Trustmark carries MSR on
its balance sheet at fair value.
Trustmark determines the fair value of MSR using a valuation model administered
by a third party that calculates the present value of estimated future net
servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants
use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment
speeds, discount rate, default rates, cost to service (including delinquency and
foreclosure costs), escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income
and other ancillary income such as late fees. Management reviews all significant
assumptions quarterly. Mortgage loan prepayment speeds, a key assumption in the
model, is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their
mortgage loan principal. The discount rate used to determine the present value
of estimated future net servicing income, another key assumption in the model,
is an estimate of the required rate of return investors in the market would
require for an asset with similar risk. Both assumptions can, and generally
will, change as market conditions and interest rates change.
32--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
By way of example, an increase in either the prepayment speed or discount rate
assumption will result in a decrease in the fair value of the MSR, while a
decrease in either assumption will result in an increase in the fair value of
the MSR. In recent years, there have been significant market-driven fluctuations
in loan prepayment speeds and discount rates. These fluctuations can be rapid
and may continue to be significant. Therefore, estimating prepayment speed
and/or discount rates within ranges that market participants would use in
determining the fair value of MSR requires significant management judgment.
At December 31, 2012, the MSR fair value was approximately $46.9 million. The
impact on the MSR fair value of a 10% adverse change in prepayment speed or a
100 basis point increase in discount rate at December 31, 2012, would be a
decline in fair value of approximately $2.4 million and $1.2 million,
respectively. Changes of equal magnitude in the opposite direction would produce
similar increases in fair value in the respective amounts.
Trustmark manages potential changes in the fair value of MSR through its
comprehensive risk management strategy. To reduce the sensitivity of earnings to
interest rate fluctuations, Trustmark utilizes exchange-traded derivative
instruments such as Treasury note futures contracts and option contracts to
achieve a fair value return that offsets the changes in fair value of MSR
attributable to interest rates, depending on the amount of MSR hedged. From time
to time, Trustmark may choose not to fully hedge the MSR, partly because
origination volume tends to act as a natural hedge. For example, as interest
rates decline, the fair value of the MSR generally decreases and fees from new
originations tend to increase. Conversely, as interest rates increase, the fair
value of the MSR generally increases, while fees from new originations tend to
decline.
Please refer to Note 8 - Mortgage Banking in Item 8 - Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data for additional information on MSR.
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Trustmark records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions,
including goodwill and other intangible assets, at fair value as required by
FASB ASC Topic 805. The carrying amount of goodwill at December 31, 2012 totaled
$246.7 million for the General Banking segment and $44.4 million for the
Insurance segment, a consolidated total of $291.1 million. Trustmark's goodwill
is not amortized but is subject to annual tests for impairment or more often if
events or circumstances indicate it may be impaired. Trustmark's identifiable
intangible assets, which totaled $17.3 million at December 31, 2012, are
amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to impairment tests
if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying
amount.
The initial recording and subsequent impairment testing of goodwill requires
subjective judgments concerning estimates of the fair value of the acquired
assets. The goodwill impairment test is performed in two phases. The first step
compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount,
including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying
amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if
the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an additional
procedure must be performed. That additional procedure, or a second step,
compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the
carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss would be recorded to the
extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair
value. Trustmark performed an annual impairment test of goodwill for reporting
units contained in both the General Banking and Insurance segments as of October
1, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, which indicated that no impairment charge
was required. The impairment test for the General Banking reporting unit
utilized valuations based on comparable deal values for financial institutions
while the test for the Insurance reporting unit utilizes varying valuation
scenarios for the multiple of earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) method based on recent acquisition
activity. Based on this analysis, Trustmark concluded that no impairment charge
was required. Significant changes in future profitability and value of our
reporting units could affect Trustmark's impairment evaluation.
The carrying amount of Trustmark's identifiable intangible assets subject to
amortization is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash
flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition. That assessment
shall be based on the carrying amount of the intangible assets subject to
amortization at the date it is tested for recoverability. Intangible assets
subject to amortization shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be
recoverable.
Fair value may be determined using market prices, comparison to similar assets,
market multiples and other determinants. Factors that may significantly affect
the estimates include, among others, competitive forces, customer behavior and
attrition, changes in revenue growth trends and specific industry or market
sector conditions. Other key judgments in accounting for intangibles include
determining the useful life of the particular asset and classifying assets as
either goodwill (which does not require amortization) or identifiable intangible
assets (which does require amortization).
33--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Other Real Estate
Other real estate (ORE) includes assets that have been acquired in satisfaction
of debt through foreclosure and is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated
fair value less the estimated cost of disposition. Fair value is based on
independent appraisals and other relevant factors. Other real estate is revalued
on an annual basis or more often if market conditions necessitate. Valuation
adjustments required at foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan
losses. Subsequent to foreclosure, losses on the periodic revaluation of the
property are charged against an ORE specific reserve or net income in
ORE/Foreclosure expense, if a reserve does not exist. Significant judgments and
complex estimates are required in estimating the fair value of other real
estate, and the period of time within which such estimates can be considered
current is significantly shortened during periods of market volatility, as
experienced in recent years. As a result, the net proceeds realized from sales
transactions could differ significantly from appraisals, comparable sales, and
other estimates used to determine the fair value of other real estate.
Covered Other Real Estate
All other real estate acquired in a FDIC-assisted acquisition that is subject to
a FDIC loss-share agreement is referred to as "covered other real estate" and
reported separately in Trustmark's consolidated balance sheets. Covered other
real estate is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the
FDIC. Foreclosed covered loan collateral is transferred into covered other real
estate at the collateral's net realizable value.
Covered other real estate is initially recorded at its estimated fair value on
the acquisition date based on an independent appraisal less estimated selling
costs. Any subsequent valuation adjustments due to declines in fair value are
charged to noninterest expense and are mostly offset by noninterest income
representing the corresponding increase to the FDIC indemnification asset for
the offsetting loss reimbursement amount. Any recoveries of previous valuation
adjustments are credited to noninterest expense with a corresponding charge to
noninterest income for the portion of the recovery that is due to the FDIC.
Defined Benefit Plans
Trustmark's plan assets, projected benefit liabilities and pension cost are
determined utilizing actuarially-determined present value calculations. The
valuation of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic pension expense
for Trustmark's plans (Capital Accumulation Plan and Supplemental Retirement
Plan) requires Management to make estimates regarding the amount and timing of
expected cash outflows. Several variables affect these calculations, including
(i) size and characteristics of the associate population, (ii) discount rate,
(iii) expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and (iv) recognition of
actual returns on plan assets. Below is a brief description of these variables
and the effect they have on pension cost.
· Population and Characteristics of Associates. Pension cost is directly related
to the number of associates covered by the plan and characteristics such as
salary, age, years of service and benefit terms. In an effort to control
expenses, the Board voted to freeze plan benefits effective May 15,
2009. Associates will not earn additional benefits, except for interest as
required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, after the
effective date. Associates will retain their previously earned pension
benefits. At December 31, 2012, the pension plan census totaled 2,588
associates.
· Discount Rate. The discount rate utilized in determining the present value of
the future benefit obligation is currently 3.50% (as compared to 4.00% at
December 31, 2011). The discount rate for each plan is determined by matching
the expected cash flows of each plan to a yield curve based on long term, high
quality fixed income debt instruments available as of the measurement date
(December 31, 2012). The discount rate is reset annually on the measurement
date to reflect current economic conditions. If Trustmark assumes a 1.00%
increase or decrease in the discount rate for Trustmark's defined benefit
plans and kept all other assumptions constant, the benefit cost associated
with these plans would decrease or increase by approximately $888 thousand and
$1.0 million, respectively.
· Expected Long-Term Rate of Return on Plan Assets. Based on historical experience and market projection of the target asset allocation set forth in
the investment policy for the Capital Accumulation Plan, the current pre-tax
expected rate of return on the plan assets used in 2012 and 2011 was
8.0%. This expected rate of return is dependent upon the asset allocation
decisions made with respect to plan assets. Annual differences, if any,
between expected and actual return are included in the unrecognized net
actuarial gain or loss amount. Trustmark generally amortizes any cumulative
unrecognized net actuarial gain or loss in excess of 10% of the greater of the
projected benefit obligation or the fair value of the plan assets. If
Trustmark assumes a 1.00% increase or decrease in the expected long-term rate
of return for the Capital Accumulation Plan, holding all other actuarial
assumptions constant, the pension cost would decrease or increase by
approximately $740 thousand.
34--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
· Recognition of Actual Asset Returns. Trustmark utilizes the provision of FASB
ASC Topic 715, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits," which allow for the use
of asset values that smoothes investment gains and losses over a period of up
to five years. This could partially mitigate the impact of short-term gains or
losses on reported net income.
· Other Actuarial Assumptions. To estimate the projected benefit obligation,
actuarial assumptions are required to be made by Management, including
mortality rate, retirement rate, disability rate and the rate of compensation
increases. These factors do not change significantly over time, so the range
of assumptions and their impact on net periodic pension expense is generally
limited.
Contingent Liabilities
Trustmark estimates contingent liabilities based on Management's evaluation of
the probability of outcomes and their ability to estimate the range of
exposure. As stated in FASB ASC Topic 450, a liability is contingent if the
amount is not presently known but may become known in the future as a result of
the occurrence of some uncertain future event. Accounting standards require that
a liability be recorded if Management determines that it is probable that a loss
has occurred, and the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is implicit in this
standard that it must be probable that the loss will be confirmed by some future
event. As part of the estimation process, Management is required to make
assumptions about matters that are, by their nature, highly uncertain. The
assessment of contingent liabilities, including legal contingencies and income
tax liabilities, involves the use of critical estimates, assumptions and
judgments. Management's estimates are based on their belief that future events
will validate the current assumptions regarding the ultimate outcome of these
exposures. However, there can be no assurance that future events, such as court
decisions or Internal Revenue Service positions, will not differ from
Management's assessments. Whenever practicable, Management consults with outside
experts (attorneys, consultants, claims administrators, etc.) to assist with the
gathering and evaluation of information related to contingent liabilities.
Recent Legislative and Regulatory Developments
On June 7, 2012, the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) jointly issued proposed rules to enhance
regulatory capital requirements. The proposed rules are designed to address
perceived shortcomings in the existing regulatory capital requirements that
became evident during the recent financial crisis by implementing capital
requirements in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(Dodd-Frank Act) and international capital regulatory standards by the Basel
Committee. The proposed rules would increase and revise the federal bank
agencies' current minimum risk-based and leverage capital ratio requirements;
introduce new risk-weight calculation methods for the "standardized"
denominator; adopt a minimum common equity risk-based capital requirement;
revise regulatory capital components and calculations; require regulatory
capital buffers above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for certain
banking organizations; and more generally restructure the agencies' capital
rules. Many of the proposed rules would apply to all depository institutions,
bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and
savings and loan holding companies. The proposed rules also address the relevant
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including removal of references to credit
ratings in the capital rules and implementation of a capital floor, known as the
"Collins Amendment." The Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, and OCC indefinitely
delayed the effective date of the proposed rules, and they did not indicate when
they will issue final rules or when such rules would become effective. If
implemented, it is expected that banking organizations subject to the proposed
rules, including Trustmark, will be required to hold a greater amount of capital
and a greater amount of common equity, than they are currently required to hold
(although Trustmark's and TNB's current capital levels exceed the levels that
are expected to be imposed once these proposed rules take effect).
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act into law. The
Dodd-Frank Act represents very broad and complex legislation that enacts
sweeping changes to the financial services industry. As the Dodd-Frank Act
continues to turn into specific regulatory requirements, there will be further
business impacts across a myriad of industries, not just banking. Some of those
impacts are readily anticipated such as the change to interchange fees. The
Dodd-Frank Act amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to authorize the FRB to
issue regulations regarding any interchange fee that an issuer may receive or
charge for an electronic debit card transaction. On June 29, 2011, the FRB
issued a final rule (Regulation II - Debit Card Interchange Fees and Routing)
establishing standards for debit card interchange fees. Under the final rule,
the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an
electronic debit transaction will be the sum of 21 cents per transaction and
five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. This provision
regarding debit card interchange fees was effective as of October 1, 2011. In
addition, the FRB also approved an interim rule that allows for an upward
adjustment of no more than one cent to an issuer's debit card interchange fee if
the issuer develops and implements policies and procedures reasonably designed
to achieve the fraud-prevention standards set out in the interim rule. The
fraud-prevention adjustment was effective as of October 1, 2011, concurrent with
the debit card interchange fee limits.
35--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In accordance with the statute, issuers that, together with their affiliates,
have assets of less than $10.0 billion on the annual measurement date (December
31) are exempt from the debit card interchange fee standards. At December 31,
2011, Trustmark had assets of less than $10.0 billion; therefore, there was no
impact of the FRB final rule (Regulation II - Debit Card Interchange Fees and
Routing) to Trustmark's noninterest income during 2012. However, following the
closing of the merger with BancTrust on February 15, 2013, Trustmark had assets
greater than $10.0 billion. Trustmark therefore expects that it will have assets
greater than $10.0 billion as of the December 31 measurement date in 2013 and
will be required to comply with the debit card interchange fee standards by July
1, 2014. Management estimates that the effect of the FRB final rule could reduce
noninterest income by approximately $6.0 million to $8.0 million on an annual
basis given Trustmark's current debit card volumes. For more information on the
merger with BancTrust, please see Note 2 - Business Combinations located in Item
8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Management is continuing to
evaluate Trustmark's product structure and services to offset the anticipated
impact of the FRB final rule.
However, other impacts of the Dodd-Frank Act are subtle and are not yet capable
of precise quantification. Many of these more subtle impacts will likely only
emerge after months and perhaps years of further analysis and evaluation. In
addition, certain provisions that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment
of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees could increase the costs
associated with deposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those
deposits may generate. Finally, implementation of certain significant provisions
of the Dodd-Frank Act will continue to occur over a multi-year period. Because
many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to further rulemaking and will
take effect over several years, it is difficult to anticipate the potential
impact on Trustmark and its customers. It is clear, however, that the
implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act will require Management to invest
significant time and resources to evaluate the potential impact of this
Act. Management will continue to evaluate this impact as more details regarding
the implementation of these provisions become available.
Financial Highlights
Net income available to common shareholders totaled $117.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2012, compared with $106.8 million for 2011 and $100.6
million for 2010. For 2012, Trustmark's basic earnings per common share were
$1.81 compared with $1.67 for 2011 and $1.58 for 2010. Diluted earnings per
share were $1.81 for 2012, $1.66 for 2011 and $1.57 for 2010. At December 31,
2012, Trustmark reported gross loans, including loans held for sale and acquired
loans, of $5.984 billion, total assets of $9.829 billion, total deposits of
$7.897 billion and total shareholders' equity of $1.287 billion. Trustmark's
financial performance for 2012 resulted in a return on average tangible common
shareholders' equity of 12.55%, a return on common equity of 9.30% and a return
on assets of 1.20%. These compared with 2011 ratios of 12.25% for return on
average tangible common shareholders' equity, 8.95% for return on common equity
and 1.11% for return on assets, while in 2010 the return on average tangible
common shareholders' equity was 12.31%, the return on common equity was 8.79%
and the return on assets was 1.08%.
Net income available to common shareholders for 2012 increased $10.4 million, or
9.8%, compared to 2011. The increase was primarily the result of a decline in
the provision for loan losses, LHFI, of $22.9 million. The increase in net
income available to common shareholders was partially offset by a decline in
interest income of $20.3 million predominantly due to decreases in interest and
fees on loans and interest on securities-taxable, all as a result of the lower
interest rate environment in 2012 as compared with 2011. For additional
information on the changes in noninterest income and noninterest expense, please
see accompanying sections included in Results of Operations.
Trustmark's 2012 provision for loan losses, LHFI, totaled $6.8 million, a
decrease of $22.9 million when compared to 2011, while total net charge-offs
decreased to $17.5 million during 2012, compared to $33.7 million for 2011 and
$59.7 million for 2010. Total nonperforming assets, excluding acquired loans and
covered other real estate, were $160.6 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease
of $29.0 million compared to December 31, 2011. In addition, the percentage of
loans, excluding acquired loans, that are 30 days or more past due and
nonaccrual LHFI fell in 2012 to 3.10% compared to 3.23% in 2011 and 3.46% for
2010. These declines in 2012 exhibit the continued improvement in Trustmark's
credit quality as significant progress was made in the resolution of credit
issues.
On March 16, 2012, Trustmark completed its merger with Bay Bank. Trustmark paid
consideration of approximately $22 million in cash and stock for all outstanding
shares of Bay Bank common stock. At December 31, 2012, the carrying value of
loans and deposits acquired from Bay Bank was $79.5 million and $178.9 million,
respectively. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012, reflected a
non-routine bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million, which was partially offset by
non-routine merger expenses of $1.6 million, net of taxes. Collectively, the net
impact of these two items increased net income in 2012 by approximately $2.0
million, or approximately $0.03 per share. The bargain purchase gain of $3.6
million was recognized as other noninterest income for the year ended December
31, 2012. Included in noninterest expense are non-routine Bay Bank transaction
expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million pre-tax (these included change in
control and severance expense of $672 thousand included in salaries and employee
benefits and contract termination and other expenses of $1.9 million included in
other expense).

Bargain Purchase Gain on Acquisition
Trustmark recorded a bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million as a result of the
Bay Bank acquisition. Trustmark initially recorded a bargain purchase gain of
$2.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 and subsequently increased the
bargain purchase gain $881 thousand during the second quarter of 2012 as the
fair values associated with the Bay Bank acquisition were finalized. The bargain
purchase gain represents the excess of the net of the estimated fair value of
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the consideration paid to Bay
Bank. The bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million was recognized as other
noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2012.
TNB recorded a pretax bargain purchase gain of $7.5 million as a result of the
Heritage acquisition during the second quarter of 2011. The bargain purchase
gain represents the net of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed and is influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted
transaction process. Under the FDIC-assisted transaction process, only certain
assets and liabilities are transferred to the acquirer and, depending on the
nature and amount of the acquirer's bid, the FDIC may be required to make a cash
payment to the acquirer. The gain was recognized as other noninterest income in
Trustmark's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31,
2011.
Non-routine Transaction Expenses on Acquisition
Included in noninterest expense during 2012 are non-routine Bay Bank transaction
expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million (these included change in control
and severance expense of $672 thousand included in salaries and benefits and
contract termination and other expenses of $1.9 million included in other
expense).
Acquisition Termination Fee, Net of Expenses
On September 21, 2010, Trustmark and Cadence Financial Corporation (Cadence), a
Mississippi corporation with assets of $1.9 billion at June 30, 2010, entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (Agreement) pursuant to which
Cadence agreed to merge with and into Trustmark (the Merger). The Agreement
contemplated that Cadence's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Cadence Bank, N.A.,
would be merged with and into TNB immediately following the Merger. On October
6, 2010, Trustmark received notice that the board of directors of Cadence had
accepted another acquisition proposal and terminated the Agreement with
Trustmark dated September 21, 2010. This action triggered a termination fee of
$2.0 million from Cadence, which was recognized in other noninterest income and
was offset by direct expenses of $687 thousand included in other noninterest
expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to capital ratios defined by GAAP and banking regulators, Trustmark
utilizes various tangible common equity measures when evaluating capital
utilization and adequacy. Tangible common equity, as defined by Trustmark,
represents common equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
Trustmark believes these measures are important because they reflect the level
of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally,
presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of
Trustmark's capitalization to other organizations. These ratios differ from
capital measures defined by banking regulators principally in that the numerator
excludes shareholders' equity associated with preferred securities, the nature
and extent of which varies across organizations.
These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by GAAP
and banking regulators. Because GAAP does not include these capital ratio
measures, Trustmark believes there are no comparable GAAP financial measures to
these tangible common equity ratios. Despite the importance of these measures to
Trustmark, there are no standardized definitions for them and, as a result,
Trustmark's calculations may not be comparable with other organizations. Also
there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a
result, Trustmark encourages readers to consider its audited consolidated
financial statements and the notes related thereto in their entirety and not to
rely on any single financial measure. The following table reconciles Trustmark's
calculation of these measures to amounts reported under GAAP.
In addition, Trustmark presents in this report a table which illustrates the
impact of significant nonrecurring transactions on net income available to
common shareholders as reported under GAAP. For this table, please see Financial
Highlights - Significant Non-routine Transactions shown above.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the principal component of Trustmark's income stream and
represents the difference, or spread, between interest and fee income generated
from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed
funds. Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as volume and mix changes in
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, can materially impact net
interest income. The net interest margin (NIM) is computed by dividing fully
taxable equivalent net interest income by average interest-earning assets and
measures how effectively Trustmark utilizes its interest-earning assets in
relationship to the interest cost of funding them. The accompanying Yield/Rate
Analysis Table shows the average balances for all assets and liabilities of
Trustmark and the interest income or expense associated with earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The yields and rates have been computed based upon
interest income and expense adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis
using a 35% federal marginal tax rate for all periods shown. Loans on nonaccrual
have been included in the average loan balances, and interest collected prior to
these loans having been placed on nonaccrual has been included in interest
income. Loan fees included in interest associated with the average loan balances
are immaterial.
As previously discussed, Trustmark (through TNB) acquired Bay Bank during the
first quarter of 2012. This acquisition resulted in additional net interest
income of $5.6 million during 2012, and growth in both average interest-earning
assets and average interest-bearing liabilities of $91.8 million and $105.2
million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012. During the second
quarter of 2011, Trustmark (through TNB) acquired Heritage. This acquisition
resulted in additional net interest income of $8.7 million during 2011, and
growth in both average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing
liabilities of $59.7 million and $106.6 million, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 2011. Amounts relating to these acquisitions are included in
the current and prior year balances shown in the following three paragraphs.
Net interest income-FTE during 2012 decreased $8.1 million, or 2.2%, when
compared with 2011. The net interest margin decreased 17 basis points to 4.09%
during 2012 when compared with 2011. The decline in the net interest margin
during 2012 is primarily a result of a downward repricing of loans and
securities in response to the current lower interest rate environment, partially
offset by improvements in the accreted yield of acquired covered loans as well
as modest declines in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.
Average interest-earning assets for 2012 were $8.699 billion compared with
$8.534 billion for 2011, an increase of $164.6 million. The growth in average
interest-earning assets was due to an increase in average total securities of
$206.4 million, or 8.6%, during 2012. The increase in securities, which resulted
primarily from purchases of U.S. Government-sponsored agency guaranteed and
highly rated asset-backed securities net of maturities and paydowns, was
partially offset by a decrease in average total loans (including loans held for
sale and acquired loans) of $36.4 million, or 0.6%, during 2012. The decrease in
average total loans is directly attributable to paydowns in 1-4 family mortgage
loans as well as the decision in prior years to discontinue indirect consumer
auto loan financing. During 2012, interest on securities-taxable decreased $8.9
million, or 11.7%, as the yield on taxable securities decreased 66 basis points
when compared with 2011 due to run-off of higher yielding securities replaced at
lower yields. During 2012, interest and fees on loans-FTE decreased $11.4
million, or 3.6%, due to lower average loan balances while the yield on loans
fell to 5.11% compared to 5.26% during 2011. As a result of these factors,
interest income-FTE decreased $20.5 million, or 5.0%, when 2012 is compared with
2011. The impact of these changes is also reflected in the decline in the yield
on total earning assets, which fell from 4.76% in 2011 to 4.44% in 2012, a
decrease of 32 basis points.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for 2012 totaled $6.418 billion compared
with $6.527 billion for 2011, a decrease of $109.2 million, or 1.7%. During
2012, average interest-bearing deposits increased $89.5 million, or 1.6%, while
the combination of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase
agreements and other borrowings decreased by $198.8 million, or 26.0%. The
overall yield on interest-bearing liabilities declined 18 basis points during
2012 when compared with 2011, primarily due to a reduction in the costs of
certificates of deposit and higher yielding money market accounts. As a result
of these factors, total interest expense for 2012 decreased $12.4 million, or
28.7%, when compared with 2011.
Net interest income-FTE during 2011 decreased $1.9 million, or 0.5%, when
compared with 2010. The net interest margin decreased 15 basis points to 4.26%
during 2011 when compared with 2010. During 2011, net interest income-FTE
included $3.8 million associated with the re-estimation of cash flows required
by FASB ASC 310-30 accounting guidelines. This re-estimation increased the yield
on loans and earning assets by 6 basis points and 4 basis points, respectively.
Excluding this adjustment, the core net interest margin for year ended December
31, 2011, equaled 4.21%. The decline in the core net interest margin during 2011
is primarily a result of a downward repricing of fixed rate assets, accelerated
premium amortization within the investment portfolio driven by a decline in
interest rates and changes to Trustmark's asset mix as lower yielding securities
supplemented declines in higher yielding loan products. The impact of this was
partially offset by declines in deposit costs, mostly within certificates of
deposits and higher yielding money market accounts.

Table of Contents
Average interest-earning assets for 2011 were $8.534 billion compared with
$8.287 billion for 2010, an increase of $247.2 million or 3.0%. The growth in
average earning assets was due to an increase in average total securities of
$443.4 million, or 22.7%, during 2011. The increase in securities was partially
offset by a decrease in average total loans (including covered loans) of $191.6
million, or 3.0%, during 2011. This decrease reflects Trustmark's on-going
efforts to reduce exposure to construction and land development lending, the
decision in prior years to discontinue indirect consumer auto financing, as well
as limited demand for loans. The overall yield on securities decreased 87 basis
points when compared with 2010 due to run-off of higher yielding securities
replaced at lower yields as well as accelerated premium amortization driven by a
decline in interest rates. During 2011, interest and fees on loans-FTE decreased
$13.7 million, or 4.1%, due to lower average loan balances while the yield on
loans fell slightly to 5.26% compared to 5.32% during 2010. As a result of these
factors, interest income-FTE decreased $15.1 million, or 3.6%, when 2011 is
compared with 2010. The impact of these changes is also illustrated by the
decline in the yield on total earning assets, which fell from 5.09% in 2010 to
4.76% in 2011, a decrease of 33 basis points.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for 2011 totaled $6.527 billion compared
with $6.445 billion for 2010, a slight increase of $82.2 million, or
1.3%. During 2011, average interest-bearing deposits increased $249.3 million,
or 4.5%, while the combination of federal funds purchased, securities sold under
repurchase agreements and other borrowings decreased by $167.1 million, or
17.9%. The overall yield on interest-bearing liabilities declined 21 basis
points during 2011 when compared with 2010, primarily due to a reduction in the
costs of certificates of deposit and high yield money market accounts. As a
result of these factors, total interest expense for 2011 decreased $13.2
million, or 23.4%, when compared with 2010.

Change in net

The change in interest due to both volume and yield/rate has been allocated to
change due to volume and change due to yield/rate in proportion to the absolute
value of the change in each. Tax-exempt income has been adjusted to a tax
equivalent basis using a tax rate of 35% for each of the three years
presented. The balances of nonaccrual loans and related income recognized have
been included for purposes of these computations.
Provision for Loan Losses, LHFI
The provision for loan losses, LHFI is determined by Management as the amount
necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses, LHFI to a level, which, in
Management's best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the
existing loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses, LHFI reflects loan
quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to nonaccrual LHFI,
past due LHFI, potential problem LHFI, criticized LHFI, net charge-offs or
recoveries and growth in the LHFI portfolio among other factors. Accordingly,
the amount of the provision reflects both the necessary increases in the
allowance for loan losses, LHFI related to newly identified criticized LHFI, as
well as the actions taken related to other LHFI including, among other things,
any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans
or loan pools. As shown in the table below, the provision for loan losses, LHFI,
for 2012 totaled $6.8 million, or 0.11% of average loans, compared with $29.7
million, or 0.49% of average loans in 2011 and $49.5 million, or 0.79% of
average loans in 2010. Reduced loan provisioning during 2012 was a result of
decreased levels of criticized LHFI, lower net charge-offs, adequate reserves
established in prior years for both new and existing impaired LHFI, net loan
risk rate upgrades and a smaller overall loan portfolio. While provisioning
declined in each of Trustmark's four key market regions, the 2012 reduction was
primarily a result of improvements in the Florida market. The decrease in the
provision for loan losses, LHFI during 2012 was partially offset by an
additional provision of approximately $1.4 million as a result of a revision to
the quantitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for consumer
and residential LHFI. Trustmark converted the historical loss factor from a 20
quarter to a 12 quarter net charge-off rolling average and also developed a
separate reserve for junior liens on 1-4 family LHFI. For additional information
on the change to the quantitative portion of the allowance for loan loss
methodology for consumer and residential LHFI, please see the section captioned
"LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI" included in Earning Assets located
elsewhere in this report.

Trustmark continues to devote significant resources to managing credit risks
resulting from the slowdown in residential real estate developments. Management
believes that the construction and land development portfolio is appropriately
risk rated and adequately reserved based on current conditions.
See the section captioned "LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI" elsewhere
in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses, LHFI,
which includes the table of nonperforming assets.
Provision for Loan Losses, Acquired Loans
Provisions for loan losses, acquired loans are recognized subsequent to
acquisition to the extent it is probable that Trustmark will be unable to
collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows
expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition,
considering both the timing and amount of those expected cash flows. Provisions
may be required when actual losses of unpaid principal incurred exceed previous
loss expectations to date, or future cash flows previously expected to be
collectible are no longer probable of collection. The provision for loan losses,
acquired loans, is reflected as a valuation allowance netted against the
carrying value of the acquired loans balance accounted for under FASB ASC Topic
310-30. The provision for loan losses, acquired loans was $5.5 million for 2012,
as compared to $624 thousand for 2011 and no provision for 2010. The provision
for loan losses, acquired loans was initially established during the fourth
quarter of 2011 as a result of valuation procedures performed during the
period. The increase in the provision for loan losses, acquired loans during
2012 was a result of changes in expectations based on the periodic
re-estimations performed during the year and the increased acquired loan
portfolio as a result of the Bay Bank acquisition.

Noninterest Income
Trustmark's noninterest income continues to play an important role in improving
net income and total shareholder value and represents 33.7%, 31.4% and 31.7% of
total revenue, before securities gains, net in 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. Total noninterest income before securities gains, net for 2012
increased $14.4 million compared to 2011, while total noninterest income before
securities gains, net for 2011 decreased $3.8 million compared to 2010. The
comparative components of noninterest income for the years ended December 31,
2012, 2011 and 2010, are shown in the accompanying table.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts during 2012 totaled $50.4 million, a
decrease of $1.4 million from the same time period in 2011. This decrease was
due to a decrease in non-sufficient funds/overdraft fees of approximately $2.0
million, partially offset by the increase in service charges resulting from the
monthly service charge fee on a personal account product Trustmark began
offering during the fourth quarter of 2011. Service charges on deposit accounts
during 2011 totaled $51.7 million, a decline of $3.5 million from the same time
period in 2010. This decline was due to a reduction in NSF fees of $3.2 million
which primarily resulted from the impact of the FRB rule (Regulation E -
Electronic Fund Transfers) that went into effect during the third quarter of
2010. Regulation E prohibits financial institutions, such as Trustmark, from
charging customers for paying overdrafts on ATM and one-time debit card
transactions, unless the customer consents to the overdraft service for those
products. In addition, on September 1, 2011, Trustmark implemented a five-item
maximum per day for personal account overdrafts, which reduced noninterest
income by approximately $400 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2011. The
full impact of this change was a reduction in noninterest income of an estimated
$1.1 million for 2012.
As previously reported, Trustmark continues to review selected components of its
overdraft programs, specifically its processing sequences. Trustmark implemented
a modification to the processing sequence component of its overdraft programs on
October 1, 2012, which reduced noninterest income by approximately $750 thousand
for the year ended December 31, 2012. Management estimates this modification
could reduce service charges included in noninterest income by approximately
$3.0 million in 2013.
Mortgage Banking, Net
Net revenue from mortgage banking was $41.0 million during 2012, compared with
$26.8 million in 2011 and $29.3 million in 2010. Mortgage banking, net increased
$14.1 million during 2012 compared to a decrease of $2.5 million during 2011
primarily due to a significant increase in gains on sales of loans during the
year. Loans serviced for others totaled $5.171 billion at December 31, 2012,
compared with $4.518 billion at December 31, 2011, and $4.330 billion at
December 31, 2010.

Representing a significant component of mortgage banking income is gain on the
sales of loans, net which equaled $33.9 million in 2012 compared with $12.0
million in 2011 and $15.3 million in 2010. The increase in the gain on sales of
loans, net during 2012 resulted from growth in loan sales and higher profit
margins from secondary marketing activities as customers continued to take
advantage of opportunities to refinance existing mortgages at historically low
interest rates. The gain on sales of loans, net decreased during 2011 as a
result of a reduction in loan sales and lower profit margins when compared to
2010. Loan sales increased $846.4 million during 2012 to total $1.816 billion
compared to a decrease of $179.8 million during 2011 to total $969.4 million.
As part of Trustmark's risk management strategy, exchange-traded derivative
instruments are utilized to offset changes in the fair value of MSR attributable
to changes in interest rates. Changes in the fair value of these exchange-traded
derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking,
net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of MSR. The MSR fair value
represents the present value of future cash flows, which among other things
includes decay and the effect of changes in interest rates. Ineffectiveness of
hedging the MSR fair value is measured by comparing the change in value of hedge
instruments to the change in the fair value of the MSR asset attributable to
changes in interest rates and other market driven changes in valuation inputs
and assumptions. During 2012, net negative ineffectiveness of the MSR hedge was
$3.4 million, which primarily resulted from the spread contraction between
primary mortgage rates and yields on the ten-year Treasury note partially offset
by hedge income produced by a positively-sloped yield curve and net option
premium.
In comparison, during 2011, net positive ineffectiveness of the MSR hedge was
$4.4 million, which primarily resulted from widening in the spread between
primary mortgage rates and the yield on the ten-year Treasury note. Also
contributing to the positive ineffectiveness was a modest income generated from
a positively-sloped yield curve and net option premium, which are both core
components of the MSR hedge strategy.
Other mortgage banking income, net increased by approximately $1.5 million
during 2012 and $2.4 million during 2011 and resulted primarily from a net
valuation increase in the fair value of loans held for sale, interest rate lock
commitments and forward sale contracts during those years.
Bank Card and Other Fees
Bank card and other fees totaled $30.4 million during 2012, compared with $27.5
million in 2011 and $25.0 million in 2010. Bank card and other fees consist
primarily of fees earned on bank card products as well as fees on various bank
products and services and safe deposit box fees. The increases in both 2012 and
2011 were primarily the result of growth in fees earned on ATMs and bank card
products due to increased consumer utilization and income related to the
commercial borrower hedge program. For additional information on Trustmark's
commercial borrower hedge program, please see "Derivatives" included in
Asset/Liability Management located elsewhere in this report.
The Dodd-Frank Act amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to authorize the FRB
to issue regulations regarding any interchange fee that an issuer may receive or
charge for an electronic debit card transaction. On June 29, 2011, the FRB
issued a final rule (Regulation II - Debit Card Interchange Fees and Routing)
establishing standards for debit card interchange fees. Under the final rule,
the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an
electronic debit transaction will be the sum of 21 cents per transaction and
five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. This provision
regarding debit card interchange fees was effective as of October 1, 2011. In
addition, the FRB also approved an interim rule that allows for an upward
adjustment of no more than one cent to an issuer's debit card interchange fee if
the issuer develops and implements policies and procedures reasonably designed
to achieve the fraud-prevention standards set out in the interim rule. The
fraud-prevention adjustment was effective as of October 1, 2011, concurrent with
the debit card interchange fee limits.
46--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In accordance with the statute, issuers that, together with their affiliates,
have assets of less than $10.0 billion on the annual measurement date (December
31) are exempt from the debit card interchange fee standards. At December 31,
2011, Trustmark had assets of less than $10.0 billion; therefore, there was no
impact of the FRB final rule (Regulation II - Debit Card Interchange Fees and
Routing) to Trustmark's noninterest income during 2012. However, following the
closing of the merger with BancTrust on February 15, 2013, Trustmark had assets
greater than $10.0 billion. Trustmark therefore expects that it will have assets
greater than $10.0 billion as of the December 31 measurement date in 2013 and
will be required to comply with the debit card interchange fee standards by July
1, 2014. Management estimates that the effect of the FRB final rule could reduce
noninterest income by approximately $6.0 million to $8.0 million on an annual
basis given Trustmark's current debit card volumes. For more information on the
merger with BancTrust, please see Note 2 - Business Combinations located in Item
8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Management is continuing to
evaluate Trustmark's product structure and services to offset the anticipated
impact of the FRB final rule.
Insurance Commissions
Insurance commissions were $28.2 million during 2012, compared with $27.0
million in 2011 and $27.7 million in 2010. The increase in insurance commissions
experienced during 2012 was primarily due to new business commission volume and
increasing premium rates on commercial property and casualty policies and group
health coverage. Improvements in these business lines compensated for a small
decline in personal and life insurance sales. Downward rate pressures on
insurable risks have begun to subside, with most lines experiencing price
increases as renewals occur. General business activity has improved slightly,
resulting in a small increase in the demand for coverage on inventories,
property, equipment, general liability and workers' compensation. The decline in
insurance commissions experienced during 2011 was primarily due to lower
commission volume on commercial property and casualty policies, primarily in the
Florida markets.
Wealth Management
Wealth management income totaled $23.1 million for 2012, compared with $23.0
million in 2011 and $21.9 million in 2010. Wealth management consists of income
related to investment management, trust and brokerage services. During 2012, the
slight growth in wealth management income is attributable to improved market
conditions that in turn have generally improved market values in client
accounts, growth in new custody business, inclusion of the trust operation of
Bay Bank, brokerage activities, and growth in Trustmark's Houston market. These
improvements offset the effect of deteriorating revenue from the Performance
Funds Trust (Performance Funds) prior to the reorganization and sale of the
Performance Funds in the third quarter of 2012 and declines in Personal Trust
revenue. The growth in wealth management income in 2011 was largely attributable
to improved market conditions that in turn generally improved market values in
client accounts, as well as growth in retirement planning services and brokerage
activities. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, Trustmark held assets under
management and administration of $6.610 billion and $7.292 billion and brokerage
assets of $1.316 billion and $1.185 billion, respectively.
During the third quarter of 2012, Trustmark completed the sale and
reorganization of $929.0 million of assets managed by Trustmark Investment
Advisors (TIA) for the Performance Funds to Federated Investors, Inc.
(Federated) and certain of Federated's subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of
the previously announced definitive agreement between Federated, TIA, and TNB.
The sale resulted in a payment of $1.2 million to Trustmark, which was recorded
as other miscellaneous income.
TIA no longer serves as investment adviser or custodian to the Performance
Funds. However, Performance Funds held by Trustmark wealth management clients at
the time of reorganization were converted to various pre-determined Federated
funds. While not a material transaction financially, this transaction will allow
Trustmark to fully embrace open architecture in its wealth management business
and focus additional resources on managing client relationships.

Other income, net for 2012 was $1.1 million, compared with $3.9 million in 2011
and $4.5 million in 2010. The decrease of $2.7 million during 2012 reflects an
increase in partnership amortization of $2.1 million as a result of new tax
credit investments entered into by Trustmark during 2012 and a writedown of the
FDIC indemnification asset of $3.7 million on acquired covered loans obtained
from Heritage as a result of loan payoffs, improved cash flow projections and
lower loss expectations for loan pools, partially offset by the bargain purchase
gain of $3.6 million resulting from Trustmark's acquisition of Bay Bank during
the first quarter of 2012. The increase in other miscellaneous income in 2012
was primarily due to the $1.2 million payment from the sale of the Performance
Funds by TIA and the receipt of a $780 thousand non-refundable arranger fee as
lead syndicator for a large syndicated loan. The decline in other income, net
during 2011 reflected an increase in partnership amortization of $1.9 million
related to tax credit investments, the writedown of the FDIC indemnification
asset of $4.2 million and the absence of a corresponding income event in 2011 to
balance the Cadence termination fee received in 2010 of $2.0 million. These were
offset by a nonrecurring bargain purchase gain of $7.5 million resulting from
TNB's acquisition of Heritage during the second quarter of 2011.
Security Gains, Net
From time to time, Trustmark manages the risk and return profile of the
securities portfolio through sales of available for sale securities prior to
their maturity. During 2012, Trustmark sold approximately $33.8 million in
available for sale securities, primarily in order to manage the duration risk of
the securities portfolio, generating a net gain of approximately $1.0
million. Additionally, $3.9 million of securities called in 2012 prior to their
maturity generated a net gain of approximately $20 thousand. Similarly, in 2011,
Trustmark sold approximately $23.0 million in available for sale securities,
generating a net gain of approximately $52 thousand. Additionally, $5.1 million
of securities called in 2011 prior to their maturity generated a net gain of
approximately $28 thousand.
Noninterest Expense
Trustmark's noninterest expense for 2012 increased $14.7 million, or 4.4%,
compared to 2011, while noninterest expense for 2011 increased $4.2 million, or
1.3%, compared to 2010. Excluding business combinations, noninterest expense for
2012 increased $7.7 million, or 2.3%, when compared to 2011, while noninterest
expense for 2011 increased $2.3 million, or 0.7%, compared to 2010. The increase
during 2012 was primarily attributable to growth in salaries and benefits, loan
expenses and non-routine transaction expenses relating to the Bay Bank
acquisition, offset by declines in other real estate writedowns and FDIC
assessment expense. During 2011, the growth in noninterest expense was primarily
attributable to growth in salaries and benefits and loan expenses. Management
considers disciplined expense management a key area of focus in the support of
improving shareholder value. The comparative components of noninterest expense
for 2012, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the accompanying table.

Salaries and Employee Benefits
Salaries and employee benefits, the largest category of noninterest expense,
were $190.5 million in 2012, $178.6 million in 2011 and $174.6 million in
2010. The increase during 2012 primarily reflects modest general merit
increases, higher general incentive costs resulting from improved corporate
performance, increases in incentives for mortgage loan originators and higher
costs for employee retirement programs, as well as $2.9 million in additional
salaries and employee benefits resulting from the Bay Bank acquisition. Salaries
and employee benefits expense for Bay Bank included a non-routine transaction
expense of $672 thousand for change in control and severance expense.
During 2011, the increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily reflected
modest general merit increases, higher general incentive costs resulting from
improved corporate performance and higher costs for employee retirement
programs, as well as $1.2 million in additional salaries and employee benefits
resulting from the Heritage acquisition.
Services and Fees
Services and fees for 2012 increased $2.9 million, or 6.6%, when compared with
2011, while an increase of $1.9 million, or 4.6%, occurred when 2011 is compared
with 2010. The growth in services and fees expense during 2012 was related to
increases in processing fees, software maintenance and other services and fees
offset by a decline in legal expenses. The increase in processing fees and
software maintenance is due to the deployment of a new ATM fleet, which included
deposit automation, and the fourth quarter implementation of new finance and
human resources operating systems during 2012. The increase in services and fees
during 2011 was primarily due to increased legal expenses associated with
litigation and the realignment of certain business units.
ORE/Foreclosure Expense
ORE/Foreclosure expense totaled $11.2 million in 2012, compared with $16.3
million in 2011 and $24.4 million in 2010. The decline in ORE/Foreclosure
expense during 2012 and 2011 can be primarily attributed to a decrease in other
real estate writedowns of $7.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The
decrease in other real estate writedowns is a result of stabilizing property
values and adequate reserves established in prior periods.
FDIC Assessment Expense
FDIC insurance expense decreased $1.5 million, or 18.6%, during 2012, compared
to a decrease of $4.2 million, or 34.3%, during 2011. The decrease during 2012
and 2011 resulted from the implementation of the FDIC's revised deposit
insurance assessment methodology implemented during the second quarter of
2011. As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, on April 1, 2011, the FDIC revised the
deposit insurance assessment system to base assessments on the average total
consolidated assets of insured depository institutions less the average tangible
equity during the assessment period. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act increased
the minimum reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund from 1.15% to 1.35% of
estimated insurable deposits, or the comparable percentage of the assessment
base, by September 30, 2020. The FDIC must offset the effect of the increase in
the minimum reserve ratio on insured depository institutions with total
consolidated assets of less than $10.0 billion. With total assets slightly below
$10.0 billion at December 31, 2011, Trustmark benefitted during 2012 from the
change in the assessment methodology. As discussed above, Trustmark has assets
greater than $10.0 billion following the merger with BancTrust, and thus, will
lose the benefit of this offset beginning in 2014. Management estimates the
change in the assessment methodology will have an immaterial impact on
Trustmark's results of operations.

During 2012, other expenses increased $6.1 million, or 14.3%, while in 2011,
other expenses increased $7.1 million, or 19.9%. The growth in other expenses
during 2012 was primarily due to non-routine Bay Bank acquisition transaction
expenses and an increase in loan expenses of $2.0 million that resulted
primarily from higher mortgage loan servicing putback expenses (further
explained below). The growth in other expenses in 2011 was primarily due to
increased loan expenses that resulted from higher mortgage foreclosure expenses.
During the normal course of business, Trustmark's mortgage banking operations
originates and sells certain loans to investors in the secondary
market. Trustmark is subject to losses in its loan servicing portfolio due to
loan foreclosures. Trustmark has obligations to either repurchase the
outstanding principal balance of a loan or make the purchaser whole for the
economic benefits of a loan if it is determined that the loan sold was in
violation of representations or warranties made by Trustmark at the time of the
sale, herein referred to as mortgage loan servicing putback expenses. Such
representations and warranties typically include those made regarding loans that
had missing or insufficient file documentation and/or loans obtained through
fraud by borrowers or other third parties. Putback requests may be made until
the loan is paid in full. When a putback request is received, Trustmark
evaluates the request and takes appropriate actions based on the nature of the
request. Effective January 1, 2013, Trustmark is required by FNMA and FHLMC to
provide a response to putback requests within 60 days of the date of
receipt. Currently, putback requests primarily relate to 2005 through 2008
vintage mortgage loans and to government sponsored entity-guaranteed
mortgage-backed securities.
The total mortgage loan servicing putback expenses incurred by Trustmark were
$8.0 million during 2012, $5.1 million during 2011 and $2.1 million during
2010. During the second quarter of 2012, Trustmark updated its quarterly
analysis of mortgage loan putback exposure. This analysis, along with recent
mortgage industry trends, resulted in Trustmark providing an additional reserve
of approximately $4.0 million in the second quarter. At December 31, 2012, the
reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expenses totaled $7.8 million
compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2011.
There is inherent uncertainty in reasonably estimating the requirement for
reserves against future mortgage loan servicing putback expenses. Future putback
expenses are dependent on many subjective factors, including the review
procedures of the purchasers and the potential refinance activity on loans sold
with servicing released and the subsequent consequences under the
representations and warranties. Trustmark believes that it has appropriately
reserved for potential mortgage loan repurchase requests.
Segment Information

Table of Contents
General Banking
The General Banking Division is responsible for all traditional banking products
and services including a full range of commercial and consumer banking services
such as checking accounts, savings programs, overdraft facilities, commercial,
installment and real estate loans, home equity loans and lines of credit,
drive-in and night deposit services and safe deposit facilities offered through
approximately 170 offices in Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. The
General Banking Division also consists of internal operations that include Human
Resources, Executive Administration, Treasury (Funds Management), Public Affairs
and Corporate Finance. Included in these operational units are expenses related
to mergers, mark-to-market adjustments on loans and deposits, general
incentives, stock options, supplemental retirement and amortization of core
deposits. Other than Treasury, these business units are support-based in nature
and are largely responsible for general overhead expenditures that are not
allocated.
Trustmark's acquisition of Bay Bank contributed approximately $5.6 million to
net interest income, $4.2 million to noninterest income (primarily from bargain
purchase gain of $3.6 million) and $6.2 million to noninterest expense of the
General Banking Division during 2012. During 2011, TNB's acquisition of Heritage
contributed approximately $8.7 million to net interest income (including $3.8
million associated with the re-estimation of cash flows required by FASB ASC
Topic 310-30 accounting guidelines), $4.2 million to noninterest income
(primarily from bargain purchase gain of $7.5 million) and $1.8 million to
noninterest expense of the General Banking Division. These amounts are included
in the current year balances shown in the following three paragraphs.
Net interest income for the General Banking Division for 2012 decreased $8.1
million, or 2.3%, when compared with 2011. The decline in net interest income is
mostly due to the downward repricing of loans and securities partially offset by
modest declines in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. Net interest income
during 2011 decreased $3.2 million, or 0.9%, when compared with 2010. The
decrease in net interest income is primarily a result of a downward repricing of
fixed rate assets, accelerated premium amortization within the investment
portfolio and changes to Trustmark's asset mix as lower yielding securities
supplemented declines in higher yielding loan balances. The provision for loan
losses, net during 2012 totaled $12.2 million compared with $30.2 million during
2011 and $49.6 million during 2010. For more information on this change, please
see the analysis of the Provision for Loan Losses, LHFI and Provision for Loan
Losses, Acquired Loans, located elsewhere in this document.
Noninterest income for the General Banking Division increased by approximately
$12.8 million, or 11.7%, during 2012 compared to a decrease of $6.3 million, or
5.5%, during 2011. Noninterest income for the General Banking Division
represents 26.7% of total revenues for 2012, 24.1% for 2011 and 25.0% for
2010. Noninterest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, bank card
and other fees, mortgage banking, net, other, net and securities gains, net. For
more information on these noninterest income items, please see the analysis of
Noninterest Income located elsewhere in this document.
Noninterest expense for the General Banking Division increased $15.2 million and
$1.8 million during 2012 and 2011, respectively. For more information on these
noninterest expense items, please see the analysis of Noninterest Expense
located elsewhere in this report.
Wealth Management
The Wealth Management Division has been strategically organized to serve
Trustmark's customers as a financial partner providing reliable guidance and
sound, practical advice for accumulating, preserving, and transferring
wealth. The Investment Services group and the Trust group are the primary
service providers in this segment. TIA, a wholly owned subsidiary of TNB that is
included in the Wealth Management Division, is a registered investment adviser
that provides investment management services to individual and institutional
accounts. During the third quarter of 2012, Trustmark completed the
reorganization and sale of the Performance Funds by TIA to Federated and certain
of Federated's subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of the previously announced
definitive agreement between Federated, TIA and TNB. While TIA provided
investment management services to the Performance Funds until completion of the
sale to Federated, TIA no longer serves as investment advisor or custodian to
the Performance Funds. For more information on the sale of the Performance
Funds, please see the description included in Noninterest Income located
elsewhere in this report. During 2010, TRMK Risk Management, Inc. (TRMI) acted
as an agent to provide life, long-term care and disability insurance services
for wealth management customers. On December 30, 2010, TRMI was merged into
Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance, Inc. (FBBI), another wholly owned subsidiary of
TNB. All previous products and services provided to Wealth Management customers
were provided by FBBI as part of the Insurance Division beginning in 2011.
51--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
During 2012, net income for the Wealth Management Division increased $1.0
million, or 36.0%, compared to a decrease of $1.2 million, or 29.3%, during
2011. Noninterest income increased $1.3 million during 2012 compared to an
increase of $1.1 million during 2011. The increase in noninterest income during
2012 was due to an increase in wealth management income of approximately $100
thousand and the $1.2 million payment from the sale of the Performance Funds by
TIA included in other miscellaneous income. During 2011, the increase in
noninterest income was due to a growth in revenue for investment management,
trust and brokerage services. Noninterest expense decreased $247 thousand during
2012 compared to an increase of $2.8 million during 2011. The increase during
2011 was primarily due to increased legal expenses associated with litigation
and the realignment of certain business units in 2011. For more information on
the change in wealth management revenue, please see the analysis included in
Noninterest Income located elsewhere in this document.
Insurance
Trustmark's Insurance Division provides a full range of retail insurance
products, including commercial risk management products, bonding, group benefits
and personal lines coverage through FBBI, a Mississippi corporation and
subsidiary of TNB.
During 2012, net income for the Insurance Division increased $1.0 million, or
29.5%, compared to a decrease of $173 thousand, or 4.8%, during 2011. The
increase in net income during 2012 was primarily due to higher commission volume
on commercial property and casualty policies. The decrease in 2011 was primarily
due to lower commission volume on commercial property and casualty policies. For
more information on the change in insurance commissions, please see the analysis
included in Noninterest Income located elsewhere in this document.
During 2012, business conditions improved slightly in the markets served by
FBBI. Trustmark performed an annual impairment test of the book value of capital
held in the Insurance Division as of October 1, 2012, 2011, and 2010,
respectively. Based on this analysis, Trustmark concluded that no impairment
charge was required. A renewed period of falling prices and suppressed demand
for the products of the Insurance Division may result in impairment of goodwill
in the future. FBBI's ability in slowing a declining income trend is dependent
on the success of the subsidiary's continued initiatives to attract new business
through cross referrals between practice units and bank relationships and
seeking new business in other markets. FBBI is actively pursuing new business in
the Houston market, utilizing Trustmark branch relationships for sources of
referrals.
Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2012, Trustmark's combined effective tax rate
was 26.4% compared to 28.1% in 2011 and 29.5% in 2010. Trustmark invests in
partnerships that provide income tax credits on a Federal and/or State basis
(i.e., new market tax credits, low income housing tax credits and historical tax
credits). These investments are recorded based on the equity method of
accounting, which requires the equity in partnerships losses to be recognized
when incurred and are recorded as a reduction in other income. The income tax
credits related to these partnerships are utilized as specifically allowed by
income tax law and are recorded as a reduction in income tax expense. The
decrease in Trustmark's effective tax rate in 2012 and 2011 is mainly due to
increased investment in these partnerships along with the appropriate tax
credits and immaterial net increase in permanent items as a percentage of pretax
income.
Earning Assets
Earning assets serve as the primary revenue streams for Trustmark and are
comprised of securities, loans, federal funds sold and securities purchased
under resale agreements. Average earning assets totaled $8.699 billion, or 88.7%
of total assets, at December 31, 2012, compared with $8.534 billion, or 89.1% of
total assets, at December 31, 2011, an increase of $164.6 million, or 1.9%.
Securities
The securities portfolio is utilized by Management to manage interest rate risk,
generate interest income, provide liquidity and use as collateral for public and
wholesale funding. Risk and return can be adjusted by altering duration,
composition and/or balance of portfolio. The weighted-average life of the
portfolio increased to 3.7 years at December 31, 2012 compared to 3.6 years at
December 31, 2011.
When compared with December 31, 2011, total investment securities increased by
$173.2 million during 2012. This increase resulted primarily from purchases of
U.S. Government-sponsored agency (GSE) guaranteed and highly rated asset-backed
securities, offset by maturities and paydowns. $26.3 million of the increase in
securities can be attributed to the Bay Bank acquisition. During 2012, Trustmark
sold approximately $33.8 million in securities, generating a gain of $1.0
million, compared with $23.0 million during 2011, which generated a gain of $52
thousand.

Available for sale (AFS) securities are carried at their estimated fair value
with unrealized gains or losses recognized, net of taxes, in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders' equity. At
December 31, 2012, AFS securities at fair value totaled $2.658 billion, which
represented 98.4% of the securities portfolio, compared to $2.469 billion, or
97.7%, at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, unrealized gains, net on AFS
securities totaled $72.8 million compared with unrealized gains, net of $73.7
million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, AFS securities consisted of
obligations of states and political subdivisions, GSE guaranteed
mortgage-related securities, direct obligations of GSEs and asset-backed
securities.
Held to maturity (HTM) securities are carried at amortized cost and represent
those securities that Trustmark both intends and has the ability to hold to
maturity. At December 31, 2012, HTM securities totaled $42.2 million and
represented 1.6% of the total portfolio, compared with $57.7 million, or 2.3%,
at the end of 2011.
Management continues to focus on asset quality as one of the strategic goals of
the securities portfolio, which is evidenced by the investment of approximately
90% of the portfolio in GSE-backed obligations and other Aaa rated securities as
determined by Moody's. None of the securities owned by Trustmark are
collateralized by assets which are considered sub-prime. Furthermore, outside of
membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, Independent Bankers Bank of
Florida and Federal Reserve Bank, Trustmark does not hold any equity investment
in any GSE.

Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are included
in maturity categories based on their stated maturity date. Expected maturities
may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to
call or prepay obligations.
As of December 31, 2012, Trustmark did not hold securities of any one issuer
with a carrying value exceeding ten percent of total shareholders' equity, other
than certain GSEs which are exempt from inclusion. Management continues to
closely monitor the credit quality as well as the ratings of the debt and
mortgage-backed securities issued by the GSEs and held in Trustmark's securities
portfolio in light of issues currently facing these entities.

The table presenting the credit rating of Trustmark's securities is formatted to
show the securities according to the credit rating category. At December 31,
2012, approximately 90.2% of the available for sale securities are rated Aaa and
the same is true with respect to 14.2% of held to maturity securities, which are
carried at amortized cost.
Loans Held for Sale (LHFS)
At December 31, 2012, loans held for sale totaled $258.0 million, consisting of
$198.2 million of residential real estate mortgage loans in the process of being
sold to third parties and $59.8 million of Government National Mortgage
Association (GNMA) optional repurchase loans. At December 31, 2011, loans held
for sale totaled $216.6 million, consisting of $157.7 million of residential
real estate mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third parties and
$58.8 million of GNMA optional repurchase loans. Please refer to the
nonperforming assets table that follows for information on GNMA loans eligible
for repurchase which are past due 90 days or more.
GNMA optional repurchase programs allow financial institutions to buy back
individual delinquent mortgage loans that meet certain criteria from the
securitized loan pool for which the institution provides servicing. At the
servicer's option and without GNMA's prior authorization, the servicer may
repurchase such a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100 percent of the
remaining principal balance of the loan. This buy-back option is considered a
conditional option until the delinquency criteria are met, at which time the
option becomes unconditional. When Trustmark is deemed to have regained
effective control over these loans under the unconditional buy-back option, the
loans can no longer be reported as sold and must be brought back onto the
balance sheet as loans held for sale, regardless of whether Trustmark intends to
exercise the buy-back option. These loans are reported as held for sale with the
offsetting liability being reported as short-term borrowings. Trustmark did not
exercise its buy-back option on any delinquent loans serviced for GNMA in either
2012 or 2011.
LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI
LHFI
LHFI at December 31, 2012 totaled $5.593 billion compared to $5.857 billion at
December 31, 2011, a decrease of $264.7 million. These declines are directly
attributable to paydowns in 1-4 family mortgage loans as well as the decision in
prior years to discontinue indirect consumer auto loan financing. The 1-4 family
mortgage loan portfolio declined $263.5 million due to paydowns in the portfolio
since December 31, 2011, as many customers continued to take advantage of
opportunities to refinance existing mortgages at historically low interest
rates. Trustmark has elected to sell the vast majority of these lower rate
longer term mortgage loans in the secondary market rather than replacing the
runoff in this portfolio. Based on the interest rate spread, Management felt it
was more profitable to sell these lower rate longer term mortgage loans than to
record the loans on the balance sheet and add liquidity and interest rate
risk. The consumer loan portfolio decrease of $72.1 million primarily represents
a decrease in the indirect consumer auto portfolio. The indirect consumer auto
portfolio balance at December 31, 2012 was $25.5 million compared with $86.9
million at December 31, 2011.

Trustmark makes loans in the normal course of business to certain directors,
their immediate families and companies in which they are principal owners. Such
loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility
at the time of the transaction.
57--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
There is no industry standard definition of "subprime loans." Trustmark
categorizes certain loans as subprime for its purposes using a set of factors,
which Management believes are consistent with industry practice. TNB has not
originated or purchased subprime mortgages. At December 31, 2012, Trustmark held
"alt A" mortgages with an aggregate principal balance of $3.1 million (0.09% of
total LHFI secured by real estate at that date). These "alt A" loans have been
originated by Trustmark as an accommodation to certain Trustmark customers for
whom Trustmark determined that such loans were suitable under the purposes of
the Fannie Mae "alt A" program and under Trustmark's loan origination
standards. Trustmark does not have any no-interest loans, other than a small
number of loans made to customers that are charitable organizations, the
aggregate amount of which is not material to Trustmark's financial condition or
results of operations.
Due to the short-term nature of most commercial real estate lending and the
practice of annual renewal of commercial lines of credit, approximately
one-third of Trustmark's portfolio matures in less than one year. Such a
short-term maturity profile is not unusual for a commercial bank and provides
Trustmark the opportunity to obtain updated financial information from its
borrowers and to actively monitor its borrowers' creditworthiness. This maturity
profile is well matched with many of Trustmark's sources of funding, which are
also short-term in nature.

Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI
The allowance for loan losses, LHFI is established through provisions for
estimated loan losses charged against net income. The allowance reflects
Management's best estimate of the probable loan losses related to specifically
identified LHFI, as well as probable incurred loan losses in the remaining loan
portfolio and requires considerable judgment. The allowance is based upon
Management's current judgments and the credit quality of the loan portfolio,
including all internal and external factors that impact loan
collectibility. Accordingly, the allowance is based upon both past events and
current economic conditions.
The table below illustrates the changes in Trustmark's allowance for loan
losses, LHFI as well as Trustmark's loan loss experience for each of the last
five years:

Trustmark's allowance has been developed using different factors to estimate
losses based upon specific evaluation of identified individual LHFI considered
impaired, estimated identified losses on various pools of LHFI and/or groups of
risk rated LHFI with common risk characteristics and other external and internal
factors of estimated probable losses based on other facts and circumstances.
Trustmark's allowance for loan loss methodology is based on guidance provided in
SAB No. 102 as well as other regulatory guidance. The level of Trustmark's
allowance reflects Management's continuing evaluation of specific credit risks,
loan loss experience, current loan portfolio growth, present economic, political
and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan
portfolio. This evaluation takes into account other qualitative factors
including recent acquisitions; national, regional and local economic trends and
conditions; changes in industry and credit concentration; changes in levels and
trends of delinquencies and nonperforming LHFI; changes in levels and trends of
net charge-offs; and changes in interest rates and collateral, financial and
underwriting exceptions.
Trustmark's allowance for loan loss methodology segregates the commercial
purpose and commercial construction loan portfolios into nine separate loan
types (or pools) which have similar characteristics such as repayment,
collateral and risk profiles. The nine basic loan pools are further segregated
into Trustmark's four key market regions, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Texas, to take into consideration the uniqueness of each market. A 10-point risk
rating system is utilized for each separate loan pool to apply a reserve factor
consisting of quantitative and qualitative components to determine the needed
allowance by each loan type. As a result, there are 360 risk rate factors for
commercial loan types. The nine separate pools are shown below:
59--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Commercial Purpose Loans
· Real Estate - Owner Occupied
· Real Estate - Non-Owner Occupied
· Working Capital
· Non-Working Capital
· Land
· Lots and Development
· Political Subdivisions
Commercial Construction Loans
· 1 to 4 Family
· Non-1 to 4 Family
During 2011, Trustmark altered the quantitative factors of the allowance
methodology to reflect a twelve-quarter rolling average of net charge-offs, one
quarter in arrears, by loan type within each key market region. This change
allows for a greater sensitivity to current trends, such as economic changes, as
well as current loss profiles and creates a more accurate depiction of
historical losses. Prior to this change, the quantitative factors reflected a
three-year rolling average for Trustmark's commercial loans.
During 2012, Trustmark revised the quantitative portion of the allowance for
loan loss methodology for consumer and residential LHFI. Trustmark converted the
historical loss factor from a 20-quarter net charge-off rolling average to a
12-quarter rolling average and developed a separate reserve for junior liens on
1-4 family LHFI. The quantitative change allow the bank to more readily
correlate portfolio risk to the current market environment as the impact of more
recent experience is emphasized. This change also allows for a greater
sensitivity to current trends such as economic and performance changes, which
includes current loss profiles, and creates a more accurate depiction of
historical losses. Loans and lines of credit secured by junior liens on 1-4
family residential properties are being reserved for separately in light of
continued uncertainty in the economy and the housing market in particular. An
additional provision of approximately $1.4 million was recorded as a result of
this revision to the quantitative portion of the allowance for loan loss
methodology for consumer and residential LHFI.
The allowance for loan loss methodology segregates the consumer loan portfolio
into homogeneous pools of loans that contain similar structure, repayment,
collateral and risk profiles. These homogeneous pools of loans are shown below:
· Residential Mortgage
· Direct Consumer
· Auto Finance
· Junior Lien on 1-4 Family Residential Properties
· Credit Cards
· Overdrafts
The historical loss experience for these pools is determined by calculating a
12-quarter rolling average of net charge-offs, which is applied to each pool to
establish the quantitative aspect of the methodology. Where, in Management's
estimation, the calculated loss experience does not fully cover the anticipated
loss for a pool, an estimate is also applied to each pool to establish the
qualitative aspect of the methodology, which represents the perceived risks
across the loan portfolio at the current point in time.
Qualitative factors used in the allowance methodology include the following:
· National and regional economic trends and conditions
· Impact of recent performance trends
· Experience, ability and effectiveness of management
· Adherence to Trustmark's loan policies, procedures and internal controls
· Collateral, financial and underwriting exception trends
· Credit concentrations
· Acquisitions
· Catastrophe
Each qualitative factor is converted to a scale ranging from 0 (No risk) to 100
(High Risk), other than the last two factors, which are applied on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, to ensure that the combination of such factors is
proportional. The resulting ratings from the individual factors are weighted and
summed to establish the weighted average qualitative factor of a specific loan
portfolio within each key market region. This weighted average qualitative
factor is then distributed over the nine primary loan pools within each key
market region based on the ranking by risk of each.

Table of Contents
At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses, LHFI was $78.7 million, a
decrease of $10.8 million when compared with December 31, 2011. Total allowance
coverage of nonperforming LHFI, excluding impaired LHFI, at December 31, 2012,
was 174.46%, compared to 194.2% at December 31, 2011. Allocation of Trustmark's
$78.7 million allowance for loan losses, LHFI represents 1.59% of commercial
LHFI and 0.97% of consumer and home mortgage LHFI, resulting in an allowance to
total LHFI of 1.41% at December 31, 2012. This compares with an allowance to
total LHFI of 1.53% at December 31, 2011, which was allocated to commercial LHFI
at 1.91% and to consumer and mortgage LHFI at 0.76%.
Net charge-offs for 2012 totaled $17.5 million, or 0.30% of average loans,
compared to $33.7 million, or 0.56% in 2011, and $59.7 million, or 0.95% in
2010. This decrease can be primarily attributed to a slowing in the decline of
property values in commercial developments of residential real estate along with
a substantial reduction in auto finance charge-offs. The net charge-offs
exceeded the provisions for Florida and Mississippi during 2012 and for Florida,
Tennessee and Texas during 2011 because a large portion of charge-offs had been
fully reserved in prior periods. Management continues to monitor the impact of
real estate values on borrowers and is proactively managing these situations.

Trustmark's loan policy dictates the guidelines to be followed in determining
when a loan is charged-off. Commercial purpose loans are charged-off when a
determination is made that the loan is uncollectible and continuance as a
bankable asset is not warranted. Consumer loans secured by 1-4 family
residential real estate are generally charged-off or written down when the
credit becomes severely delinquent, and the balance exceeds the fair value of
the property less costs to sell. Non-real estate consumer purpose loans,
including both secured and unsecured, are generally charged-off in full during
the month in which the loan becomes 120 days past due. Credit card loans are
generally charged-off in full when the loan becomes 180 days past due.
Nonperforming Assets, excluding Acquired Loans and Covered Other Real Estate
Nonperforming assets, excluding acquired loans and covered other real estate,
totaled $160.6 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $29.0 million
relative to December 31, 2011. Collectively, total nonperforming assets to total
nonacquired loans and noncovered other real estate at December 31, 2012 was
2.71% compared to 3.08% at December 31, 2011. During 2012, nonperforming LHFI
decreased $28.1 million, or 25.4%, relative to December 31, 2011 to total $82.4
million, or 1.41% of total nonacquired loans. Foreclosed real estate, excluding
covered other real estate, decreased $864 thousand during 2012 to total $78.2
million.

Total nonaccrual LHFI decreased $28.1 million during 2012 to $82.4 million, or
1.41% of total loans including loans held for sale, due primarily to
improvements in all of Trustmark's key market regions. At December 31, 2011,
nonaccrual LHFI were $110.5 million, or 1.82% of total loans including loans
held for sale, a decrease of $32.5 million when compared to December 31,
2010. The decrease during 2011 was due primarily to an improvement in
Trustmark's Florida market.

Other real estate includes assets that have been acquired through foreclosure
and is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the estimated
cost of disposition. Fair value is based on independent appraisals and other
relevant factors. Valuation adjustments required at foreclosure are charged to
the allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2012, total other real estate,
excluding covered other real estate, was $78.2 million a decrease of $864
thousand when compared with December 31, 2011. However, other real estate,
excluding nonfarm, nonresidential properties, declined $9.7 million and $11.7
million during 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in nonfarm,
nonresidential other real estate during 2012 was primarily due to the
foreclosure of three commercial properties in Mississippi which totaled $8.0
million. The increase in nonfarm, nonresidential other real estate during 2011
was primarily due to the foreclosure of one commercial property in Mississippi
and two commercial properties in Florida which totaled $4.9 million. The decline
in construction, land development and other land properties and 1-4 family
residential properties was primarily a result of other real estate properties
sold or revalued during 2012 and 2011.

estate, by type of property for the past five years:

Other real estate is revalued on an annual basis or more often if market
conditions necessitate. Subsequent to foreclosure, losses on the periodic
revaluation of the property are charged against an ORE specific reserve or net
income in ORE/Foreclosure expense, if a reserve does not exist. Writedowns of
other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, decreased $7.3 million
and $3.3 million during 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in other real
estate writedowns is a result of stabilizing property values and adequate
reserves established in prior periods.

(1) Acquired noncovered loans were reported in LHFI at December 31, 2011.
On March 16, 2012, Trustmark completed its merger with Bay Bank. Loans acquired
in the Bay Bank acquisition were evaluated for evidence of credit deterioration
since origination and collectability of contractually required payments. TNB
elected to account for all loans acquired in the Bay Bank acquisition as
acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, except for $5.9 million of
acquired loans with revolving privileges, which are outside the scope of the
guidance. While not all loans acquired from Bay Bank exhibited evidence of
significant credit deterioration, accounting for these acquired loans under ASC
Topic 310-30 would have materially the same result as the alternative accounting
treatment. The purchase price allocation was deemed preliminary as of March 31,
2012 and was finalized in the second quarter of 2012.
On April 15, 2011, TNB entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the
FDIC in which TNB agreed to assume all of the deposits and essentially all of
the assets of Heritage. Loans comprise the majority of the assets acquired and
$97.8 million, or 91% of total loans acquired, are subject to the loss-share
agreement with the FDIC whereby TNB is indemnified against a portion of the
losses on covered loans and covered other real estate. The loans acquired from
Heritage that are covered by loss-share agreement are presented as covered loans
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
TNB accounts for acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30. An
acquired loan is considered impaired when there is evidence of credit
deterioration since the origination and it is probable at the date of
acquisition that TNB will be unable to collect all contractually required
payments. Revolving credit agreements such as home equity lines are excluded
from acquired impaired loan accounting requirements. TNB acquired $5.9 million
and $3.8 million of revolving credit agreements, at fair value, in the Bay Bank
and Heritage acquisitions, respectively, consisting mainly of home equity loans
and commercial asset-based lines of credit, where the borrower had revolving
privileges on the acquisition date. As such, TNB has accounted for such
revolving covered loans in accordance with accounting requirements for acquired
nonimpaired loans.

FDIC Indemnification Asset
Trustmark periodically re-estimates the expected cash flows on the acquired
loans of Heritage as required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30. For both 2012 and 2011,
the analysis resulted in improvements in the estimated future cash flows of the
acquired loans that remain outstanding as well as lower expected remaining
losses on those loans. The improvements in the estimated expected cash flows of
the covered loans resulted in a reduction of the expected loss-share receivable
from the FDIC. During 2012, other income included a writedown of the FDIC
indemnification asset of $3.7 million, compared to $4.2 million in 2011, on
covered loans as a result of loan pay offs, improved cash flow projections and
lower loss expectations for loan pools.
The following table illustrates changes in the FDIC indemnification asset for
the each of the last two years:

(1) The decrease was due to loan payoffs, improved cash flow projections and
lower loss expectations for covered loans.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Heritage loss-share agreement, TNB may be
required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC at the termination of the
loss-share agreement should actual losses be less than certain thresholds
established in the agreement. TNB calculates the projected true-up payable to
the FDIC quarterly and records a FDIC true-up provision for the present value of
the projected true-up payable to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share
agreement. TNB's FDIC true-up provision totaled $1.1 million and $601 thousand
at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Other Earning Assets
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements
were $7.0 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.2 million when compared
with December 31, 2011. Trustmark utilizes these products as offerings for its
correspondent banking customers as well as a short-term investment alternative
whenever it has excess liquidity.
Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities
Trustmark's deposit base is its primary source of funding and consists of core
deposits from the communities Trustmark serves. Deposits include
interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing demand accounts, savings, money market,
certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. Total deposits were
$7.897 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $7.566 billion at December
31, 2011, an increase of $330.2 million, or 4.4%. Deposit growth was driven by
increases in both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits of $220.8
million and $109.4 million, respectively. Trustmark experienced
noninterest-bearing deposit growth among all categories, with the Bay Bank
acquisition contributing $46.2 million. The increase in interest-bearing
deposits resulted primarily from growth in personal checking and savings
accounts, with Bay Bank contributing $132.7 million in various types of
interest-bearing deposits. However, time deposit account balances, excluding Bay
Bank, declined by $222.2 million as Trustmark continued its efforts to reduce
high-cost deposit balances. A portion of the decline in time deposit balances
was offset by growth in money market balances due to customer preference for
liquidity in today's interest rate environment.
Trustmark uses short-term borrowings to fund growth of earning assets in excess
of deposit growth. Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased,
securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term FHLB
advances. Short-term borrowings totaled $375.7 million at December 31, 2012, a
decrease of $316.4 million, when compared with $692.1 million at December 31,
2011. Of these amounts, $285.1 million and $239.4 million, respectively, were
customer related transactions, such as commercial sweep repo balances. The
decrease in short-term borrowings resulted primarily from declines of $263.5
million in federal funds purchased as funding pressures lessened due to strong
deposit growth.
The table below presents information concerning qualifying components of
Trustmark's short-term borrowings for each of the last three years ($ in

Benefit Plans
Capital Accumulation Plan
As disclosed in Note 15 - Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Benefits
included in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Trustmark
maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which covers
substantially all associates employed prior to 2007. The plan provides
retirement benefits that are based on the length of credited service and final
average compensation, as defined in the plan and vest upon three years of
service. In an effort to control expenses, the Board voted to freeze plan
benefits effective May 15, 2009, with the exception of certain associates
covered through plans obtained by acquisitions. Associates will not earn
additional benefits, except for interest as required by the IRS regulations,
after the effective date. Associates will retain their previously earned pension
benefits.
At December 31, 2012, the fair value of plan assets totaled $76.7 million and
was exceeded by the plan projected benefit obligation of $103.2 million by $26.6
million. Net periodic benefit cost equaled $3.7 million in 2012 compared with
$3.2 million in 2011 and $2.8 million in 2010.
67--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
The fair value of plan assets is determined utilizing current market quotes,
while the benefit obligation and periodic benefit costs are determined utilizing
actuarial methodology with certain weighted-average assumptions. For 2012, 2011
and 2010, the process used to select the discount rate assumption under FASB ASC
Topic 715 takes into account the benefit cash flow and the segmented yields on
high-quality corporate bonds that would be available to provide for the payment
of the benefit cash flow. Assumptions, which have been chosen to represent the
estimate of a particular event as required by GAAP, have been reviewed and
approved by Management based on recommendations from its actuaries. Please refer
to "Defined Benefit Plans" in the Critical Accounting Policies for additional
information regarding the assumptions used by Management.
The acceptable range of contributions to the plan is determined each year by the
plan's actuary. Trustmark's policy is to fund amounts allowable for federal
income tax purposes. The actual amount of the contribution is determined based
on the plan's funded status and return on plan assets as of the measurement
date, which is December 31. In July 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the
21st Century Act ("MAP-21") became effective. Through MAP-21, Congress provides
pension sponsors with funding relief by stabilizing interest rates used to
determine required funding contributions to defined benefit plans. Under MAP-21,
instead of using a two-year average of these rates, plan sponsors determine
required pension funding contributions based on a 25-year average of these rates
with a cap and a floor. For 2012, the cap is set at 110% and the floor is set at
90% of the 25-year average of these rates as of September 30, 2011. As a result,
for the plan years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Trustmark's minimum
required contributions were $1.5 million and $896 thousand, respectively. During
2012, Trustmark made a contribution of $1.5 million for the plan year ended
December 31, 2012 while during 2011, Trustmark made a contribution of $1.0
million for the plan year ended December 31, 2011. For the plan year ending
December 31, 2013, Trustmark's minimum required contribution is expected to be
$1.5 million; however, Management and the Board of Directors will monitor the
plan throughout 2013 to determine any additional funding requirements by the
plan's measurement date.
Supplemental Retirement Plan
Trustmark maintains a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan covering
directors who elect to defer fees, key executive officers and senior
officers. The plan provides for defined death benefits and/or retirement
benefits based on a participant's covered salary. Trustmark has acquired life
insurance contracts on the participants covered under the plan, which are
anticipated to fund future payments under the plan.
At December 31, 2012, the accrued benefit obligation equaled $56.6 million,
while the net periodic benefit cost equaled $3.9 million in 2012, $3.6 million
in 2011 and $3.5 million in 2010. The net periodic benefit cost and projected
benefit obligation are determined using actuarial assumptions as of the plan's
measurement date, which is December 31. The process used to select the discount
rate assumption under FASB ASC Topic 715 takes into account the benefit cash
flow and the segmented yields on high-quality corporate bonds that would be
available to provide for the payment of the benefit cash flow. At December 31,
2012, unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized prior service costs
continue to be amortized over future service periods.
Legal Environment
Trustmark's wholly-owned subsidiary, TNB, has been named as a defendant in two
lawsuits related to the collapse of the Stanford Financial Group. The first is a
purported class action complaint that was filed on August 23, 2009 in the
District Court of Harris County, Texas, by Peggy Roif Rotstain, Guthrie Abbott,
Catherine Burnell, Steven Queyrouze, Jaime Alexis Arroyo Bornstein and Juan C.
Olano, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, naming TNB and
four other financial institutions unaffiliated with Trustmark as defendants. The
complaint seeks to recover (i) alleged fraudulent transfers from each of the
defendants in the amount of fees and other monies received by each defendant
from entities controlled by R. Allen Stanford (collectively, the "Stanford
Financial Group") and (ii) damages allegedly attributable to alleged
conspiracies by one or more of the defendants with the Stanford Financial Group
to commit fraud and/or aid and abet fraud on the asserted grounds that
defendants knew or should have known the Stanford Financial Group was conducting
an illegal and fraudulent scheme. Plaintiffs have demanded a jury
trial. Plaintiffs did not quantify damages. In November 2009, the lawsuit was
removed to federal court by certain defendants and then transferred by the
United States Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to federal court in the Northern
District of Texas (Dallas) where multiple Stanford related matters are being
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings. In May 2010, all defendants (including
TNB) filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit, and the motions to dismiss have been
fully briefed by all parties. The court has not yet ruled on the defendants'
motions to dismiss. In August 2010, the court authorized and approved the
formation of an Official Stanford Investors Committee to represent the interests
of Stanford investors and, under certain circumstances, to file legal actions
for the benefit of Stanford investors. In December 2011, the Official Stanford
Investors Committee ("OSIC") filed a motion to intervene in this action. In
September 2012, the district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for
hearing and determination of certain pretrial issues. In December 2012, the
court granted the OSIC's motion to intervene, and the OSIC filed an Intervenor
Complaint against one of the other defendant financial institutions. In February
2013, the OSIC filed an additional Intervenor Complaint that asserts claims
against TNB and the remaining defendant financial institutions. The OSIC seeks
to recover: (i) alleged fraudulent transfers in the amount of the fees each of
the defendants allegedly received from Stanford Financial Group, the profits
each of the defendants allegedly made from Stanford Financial Group deposits,
and other monies each of the defendants allegedly received from Stanford
Financial Group; (ii) damages attributable to alleged conspiracies by each of
the defendants with the Stanford Financial Group to commit fraud and/or aid and
abet fraud and conversion on the asserted grounds that the defendants knew or
should have known the Stanford Financial Group was conducting an illegal and
fraudulent scheme; and (iii) punitive damages. The OSIC did not quantify
damages.
The second Stanford-related lawsuit was filed on December 14, 2009 in the
District Court of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, individually by Harold Jackson,
Paul Blaine, Carolyn Bass Smith, Christine Nichols, and Ronald and Ramona Hebert
naming TNB (misnamed as Trust National Bank) and other individuals and entities
not affiliated with Trustmark as defendants. The complaint seeks to recover the
money lost by these individual plaintiffs as a result of the collapse of the
Stanford Financial Group (in addition to other damages) under various theories
and causes of action, including negligence, breach of contract, breach of
fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, conspiracy,
and violation of Louisiana's uniform fiduciary, securities, and racketeering
laws. The complaint does not quantify the amount of money the plaintiffs seek to
recover. In January 2010, the lawsuit was removed to federal court by certain
defendants and then transferred by the United States Panel on Multidistrict
Litigation to federal court in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) where
multiple Stanford related matters are being consolidated for pre-trial
proceedings. On March 29, 2010, the court stayed the case. TNB filed a motion to
lift the stay, which was denied on February 28, 2012. In September 2012, the
district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for hearing and
determination of certain pretrial issues.
68--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
TNB's relationship with the Stanford Financial Group began as a result of
Trustmark's acquisition of a Houston-based bank in August 2006, and consisted of
correspondent banking and other traditional banking services in the ordinary
course of business. Both Stanford-related lawsuits are in their preliminary
stages and have been previously disclosed by Trustmark.
TNB is the defendant in two putative class actions challenging TNB's practices
regarding "overdraft" or "non-sufficient funds" fees charged by TNB in
connection with customer use of debit cards, including TNB's order of processing
transactions, notices and calculations of charges, and calculations of fees.
Kathy D. White v. TNB was filed in Tennessee state court in Memphis, Tennessee
and was removed on June 19, 2012 to the United States District Court for the
Western District of Tennessee. (Plaintiff Kathy White had filed an earlier,
virtually identical action that was voluntarily dismissed.) Leroy Jenkins v. TNB
was filed on June 4, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Mississippi. The White and Jenkins pleadings are matters of public
record in the files of the courts. In both cases, the plaintiffs purport to
represent classes of similarly-situated customers of TNB. The White complaint
asserts claims of breach of contract, breach of a duty of good faith and fair
dealing, unconscionability, conversion, and unjust enrichment. The Jenkins
complaint includes similar allegations as well as federal-law claims under the
Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) and RICO; however, the RICO claims were
voluntarily dismissed from the case on January 9, 2013. On July 19, 2012, the
plaintiff in the White case filed an amended complaint to add plaintiffs from
Mississippi and also to add federal EFTA claims. Trustmark contends that amended
complaint was procedurally improper. On October 4, 2012, the plaintiff in the
White case moved for leave to add two Tennessee plaintiffs. That motion is
pending for decision. Trustmark has filed preliminary dismissal and venue
transfer motions, and discovery has begun, in the White case; the Jenkins case
has not yet entered the active discovery stage. Each of these complaints seeks
the imposition of a constructive trust and unquantified damages. These
complaints are largely patterned after similar lawsuits that have been filed
against other banks across the country.
Trustmark and its subsidiaries are also parties to other lawsuits and other
claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of the lawsuits
assert claims related to the lending, collection, servicing, investment, trust
and other business activities, and some of the lawsuits allege substantial
claims for damages.
All pending legal proceedings described above are being vigorously contested. In
the regular course of business, Management evaluates estimated losses or costs
related to litigation, and provision is made for anticipated losses whenever
Management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably
estimated. At the present time, Management believes, based on the advice of
legal counsel and Management's evaluation, that (i) the final resolution of
pending legal proceedings described above will not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a material impact on Trustmark's consolidated financial position
or results of operations and (ii) a material adverse outcome in any such case is
not reasonably possible.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Trustmark makes commitments to extend credit and issues standby and commercial
letters of credit in the normal course of business in order to fulfill the
financing needs of its customers. These loan commitments and letters of credit
are off-balance sheet arrangements.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money to customers pursuant
to certain specified conditions. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses. Since many of these commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Trustmark applies the same
credit policies and standards as it does in the lending process when making
these commitments. The collateral obtained is based upon the assessed
creditworthiness of the borrower. At both December 31, 2012 and 2011, Trustmark
had commitments to extend credit of $1.909 billion and $1.690 billion,
respectively.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
Trustmark to ensure the performance of a customer to a third party. When issuing
letters of credit, Trustmark uses essentially the same policies regarding credit
risk and collateral that are followed in the lending process. At December 31,
2012 and 2011, Trustmark's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party for letters of credit was $140.5 million and
$156.7 million, respectively. These amounts consist primarily of commitments
with maturities of less than three years. Trustmark holds collateral to support
certain letters of credit when deemed necessary.

Capital Resources
At December 31, 2012, Trustmark's total shareholders' equity was $1.287 billion,
an increase of $72.3 million from December 31, 2011. During 2012, shareholders'
equity increased primarily as a result of net income of $117.3 million and the
$12.0 million of common stock issued in the Bay Bank acquisition, and was
partially offset by common stock dividends of $60.0 million. Trustmark utilizes
a capital model in order to provide Management with a monthly tool for analyzing
changes in its strategic capital ratios. This allows Management to hold
sufficient capital to provide for growth opportunities, protect the balance
sheet against sudden adverse market conditions while maintaining an attractive
return on equity to shareholders.
Regulatory Capital
Trustmark and TNB are subject to minimum capital requirements, which are
administered by various federal regulatory agencies. These capital requirements,
as defined by federal guidelines, involve quantitative and qualitative measures
of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet instruments. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the financial statements of both Trustmark and
TNB. Trustmark aims to exceed the well-capitalized guidelines for regulatory
capital. As of December 31, 2012, Trustmark and TNB have exceeded all of the
minimum capital standards for the parent company and its primary banking
subsidiary as established by regulatory requirements. In addition, TNB has met
applicable regulatory guidelines to be considered well-capitalized at December
31, 2012. To be categorized in this manner, TNB must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the
accompanying table. There are no significant conditions or events that have
occurred since December 31, 2012, which Management believes have affected TNB's
present classification.
During 2006, Trustmark enhanced its capital structure with the issuance of trust
preferred securities and Subordinated Notes. For regulatory capital purposes,
the trust preferred securities currently qualify as Tier 1 capital while the
Subordinated Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital. The addition of these capital
instruments provided Trustmark a cost effective manner in which to manage
shareholders' equity and enhance financial flexibility. For so long as
Trustmark's assets are less than $15 billion, it will be permitted to include
the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital. See "Capital Adequacy"
included in Supervision and Regulation located elsewhere in this report.

Dividends on Common Stock
Dividends per common share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010
were $0.92. Trustmark's dividend payout ratio for 2012, 2011 and 2010 was 50.8%,
55.1%, and 58.2%, respectively. Approval by TNB's regulators is required if the
total of all dividends declared in any calendar year exceeds the total of its
net income for that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding
two years. TNB will have available in 2013 approximately $92.0 million plus its
net income for that year to pay as dividends to Trustmark. The actual amount of
any dividends declared in 2013 by Trustmark will be determined by Trustmark's
Board of Directors.
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets
are available to satisfy current and future financial obligations, including
demand for loans and deposit withdrawals, funding operating costs and other
corporate purposes. Consistent cash flows from operations and adequate capital
provide internally generated liquidity. Furthermore, Management maintains
funding capacity from a variety of external sources to meet daily funding needs,
such as those required to meet deposit withdrawals, loan disbursements and
security settlements. Liquidity strategy also includes the use of wholesale
funding sources to provide for the seasonal fluctuations of deposit and loan
demand and the cyclical fluctuations of the economy that impact the availability
of funds. Management keeps excess funding capacity available to meet potential
demands associated with adverse circumstances.
The asset side of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through
maturities and cash flows from loans and securities, as well as the ability to
sell certain loans and securities while the liability portion of the balance
sheet provides liquidity primarily through noninterest and interest-bearing
deposits. Trustmark utilizes federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities
sold under repurchase agreements as well as the Federal Reserve Discount Window
(Discount Window) and, on a limited basis as discussed below, brokered deposits
to provide additional liquidity. Access to these additional sources represents
Trustmark's incremental borrowing capacity.
Deposit accounts represent Trustmark's largest funding source. Average deposits
totaled to $7.859 billion for 2012 and represented approximately 80.2% of
average liabilities and shareholders' equity when compared to average deposits
of $7.525 billion, which represented 78.5% of average liabilities and
shareholders' equity for 2011.
71--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Trustmark utilizes a limited amount of brokered deposits to supplement other
wholesale funding sources. At December 31, 2012, brokered sweep Money Market
Deposit Account (MMDA) deposits totaled $42.9 million compared to $42.1 million
at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, Trustmark had $49.9 million in term
fixed-rate brokered CDs outstanding compared with $49.7 million outstanding
brokered CDs at December 31, 2011. The addition of brokered CDs during 2011 was
part of an interest rate risk management strategy, and represented the lowest
cost alternative for term fixed-rate funding.
At December 31, 2012, Trustmark had $68.0 million of upstream federal funds
purchased, compared to $365.0 million at December 31, 2011. Trustmark maintains
adequate federal funds lines in excess of the amount utilized to provide
sufficient short-term liquidity. Trustmark also maintains a relationship with
the FHLB, which provided no advances at December 31, 2012, compared with $2.5
million in advances at December 31, 2011. Under the existing borrowing
agreement, Trustmark had sufficient qualifying collateral to increase FHLB
advances by $1.882 billion at December 31, 2012.
Additionally, Trustmark has the ability to enter into wholesale funding
repurchase agreements as a source of borrowing by utilizing its unencumbered
investment securities as collateral. At December 31, 2012, Trustmark had
approximately $467.0 million available in repurchase agreement capacity compared
to $603.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in the repurchase agreement
capacity at December 31, 2012, was primarily due to Trustmark's investment in
highly rated asset-backed securities, which are not used as collateral for
repurchase transactions.
Another borrowing source is the Discount Window. At December 31, 2012, Trustmark
had approximately $798.2 million available in collateral capacity at the
Discount Window from pledges of loans and securities, compared with $777.4
million at December 31, 2011.
TNB has outstanding $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Subordinated
Notes (the Notes) due December 15, 2016. At December 31, 2012, the carrying
amount of the Notes was $49.9 million. The Notes were sold pursuant to the terms
of regulations issued by the OCC and in reliance upon an exemption provided by
the Securities Act of 1933. The Notes are unsecured and subordinate and junior
in right of payment to TNB's obligations to its depositors, its obligations
under bankers' acceptances and letters of credit, its obligations to any Federal
Reserve Bank or the FDIC and its obligations to its other creditors, and to any
rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to TNB.
During 2006, Trustmark completed a private placement of $60.0 million of trust
preferred securities through a newly formed Delaware trust affiliate, Trustmark
Preferred Capital Trust I, (the Trust). The trust preferred securities mature
September 30, 2036 and are redeemable at Trustmark's option at any time. The
proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust
to purchase $61.856 million in aggregate principal amount of Trustmark's junior
subordinated debentures.
Another funding mechanism set into place in 2006 was Trustmark's grant of a
Class B banking license from the Cayman Islands Monetary
Authority. Subsequently, Trustmark established a branch in the Cayman Islands
through an agent bank. The branch was established as a mechanism to attract
dollar denominated foreign deposits (i.e., Eurodollars) as an additional source
of funding. At December 31, 2012, Trustmark had $75.0 million in Eurodollar
deposits outstanding.
The Board of Directors currently has the authority to issue up to 20.0 million
preferred shares with no par value. The ability to issue preferred shares in the
future will provide Trustmark with additional financial and management
flexibility for general corporate and acquisition purposes. At December 31,
2012, Trustmark has no shares of preferred stock issued.
Liquidity position and strategy are reviewed regularly by the Asset/Liability
Committee and continuously adjusted in relationship to Trustmark's overall
strategy. Management believes that Trustmark has sufficient liquidity and
capital resources to meet presently known cash flow requirements arising from
ongoing business transactions.
Asset/Liability Management
Overview
Market risk reflects the potential risk of loss arising from adverse changes in
interest rates and market prices. Trustmark has risk management policies to
monitor and limit exposure to market risk. Trustmark's primary market risk is
interest rate risk created by core banking activities. Interest rate risk is the
potential variability of the income generated by Trustmark's financial products
or services, which results from changes in various market interest rates. Market
rate changes may take the form of absolute shifts, variances in the
relationships between different rates and changes in the shape or slope of the
interest rate term structure.
Management continually develops and applies cost-effective strategies to manage
these risks. The Asset/Liability Committee sets the day-to-day operating
guidelines, approves strategies affecting net interest income and coordinates
activities within policy limits established by the Board of Directors. A key
objective of the asset/liability management program is to quantify, monitor and
manage interest rate risk and to assist Management in maintaining stability in
the net interest margin under varying interest rate environments.
72--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Derivatives
Trustmark uses financial derivatives for management of interest rate risk. The
Asset/Liability Committee, in its oversight role for the management of interest
rate risk, approves the use of derivatives in balance sheet hedging
strategies. The most common derivatives employed by Trustmark are interest rate
lock commitments, forward contracts (both futures contracts and options on
futures contracts), interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and interest rate
floors. In addition, Trustmark has entered into derivative contracts as
counterparty to one or more customers in connection with loans extended to those
customers. These transactions are designed to hedge interest rate, currency or
other exposures of the customers and are not entered into by Trustmark for
speculative purposes. Increased federal regulation of the derivative markets may
increase the cost to Trustmark to administer derivative programs.
As part of Trustmark's risk management strategy in the mortgage banking area,
various derivative instruments such as interest rate lock commitments and
forward sales contracts are utilized. Rate lock commitments are residential
mortgage loan commitments with customers, which guarantee a specified interest
rate for a specified period of time. Trustmark's obligations under forward
contracts consist of commitments to deliver mortgage loans, originated and/or
purchased, in the secondary market at a future date. These derivative
instruments are designated as fair value hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815,
"Derivatives and Hedging." The gross, notional amount of Trustmark's off-balance
sheet obligations under these derivative instruments totaled $497.2 million at
December 31, 2012, with a positive valuation adjustment of $1.5 million,
compared to $317.0 million, with a negative valuation adjustment of $1.5 million
as of December 31, 2011. The growth during 2012 has been driven by record low
mortgage rates, which has stimulated higher mortgage loan refinancing activity.
Trustmark utilizes a portfolio of exchange-traded derivative instruments, such
as Treasury note futures contracts and option contracts, to achieve a fair value
return that offsets the changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest
rates. These transactions are considered freestanding derivatives that do not
otherwise qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP. Changes in the fair value of
these exchange-traded derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income
in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of
MSR. The MSR fair value represents the present value of future cash flows, which
among other things includes decay and the effect of changes in interest
rates. Ineffectiveness of hedging the MSR fair value is measured by comparing
the change in value of hedge instruments to the change in the fair value of the
MSR asset attributable to changes in interest rates and other market driven
changes in valuation inputs and assumptions. The impact of this strategy
resulted in a net negative ineffectiveness of $3.4 million for 2012 compared
with a net positive ineffectiveness of $4.4 million for 2011. The net negative
ineffectiveness is a result of the spread contraction between primary mortgage
rates and yields on the ten-year Treasury note partially offset by hedge income
produced by a positively-sloped yield curve and net option premium.
In the first quarter of 2011, Trustmark began offering certain derivatives
products directly to qualified commercial borrowers seeking to manage their
interest rate risk. Trustmark economically hedges interest rate swap
transactions executed with commercial borrowers by entering into offsetting
interest rate swap transactions with third parties. Derivative transactions
executed as part of this program are not designated as qualifying hedging
relationships and are, therefore, carried at fair value with the change in fair
value recorded in noninterest income in bank card and other fees. Because these
derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, in addition to collateral
provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, the changes in
fair value substantially offset. As of December 31, 2012, Trustmark had interest
rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $321.3 million related to this
program, compared to $71.2 million as of December 31, 2011. The increase in the
aggregate notional amount in 2012 was attributable to the increase in the number
of transactions as Trustmark realized its first full year of operation.
Trustmark has agreements with its financial institution counterparties that
contain provisions where if Trustmark defaults on any of its indebtedness,
including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated
by the lender, then Trustmark could also be declared in default on its
derivative obligations.
As of December 31, 2012, the termination value of interest rate swaps in a
liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment
for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $5.4 million compared
to $1.8 million as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, Trustmark had
posted collateral with a market value of $1.4 million against its obligations
because of negotiated thresholds and minimum transfer amounts under these
agreements. If Trustmark had breached any of these triggering provisions at
December 31, 2012, it could have been required to settle its obligations under
the agreements at the termination value.
Credit risk participation agreements arise when Trustmark contracts with other
financial institutions, as a guarantor or beneficiary, to share credit risk
associated with certain interest rate swaps. These agreements provide for
reimbursement of losses resulting from a third party default on the underlying
swap. As of December 31, 2012, Trustmark had entered into two risk participation
agreements as a beneficiary with an aggregate notional amount of $10.1 million,
compared to no transactions as of December 31, 2011. The fair values of these
risk participation agreements were immaterial at December 31, 2012.

Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2012-06, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an
Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a
Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution (a consensus of the
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." Issued in October 2012, ASU 2012-06 addresses
the diversity in practice about how to subsequently measure an indemnification
asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial
institution. The amendments in ASU 2012-06 require a reporting entity to
subsequently account for a change in the measurement of the indemnification
asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification.
ASU 2012-06 further requires that any amortization of changes in value be
limited to the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the
remaining life of the indemnified assets. The amendments in ASU 2012-06 are
effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2012, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2012-06 is not expected
to have a significant impact on Trustmark's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." Issued in July 2012, ASU
2012-02 amends the guidance in ASC 350-30 on testing indefinite-lived intangible
assets other than goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities
testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment have the option of
performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the
reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the indefinite-lived intangible assets
impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors,
that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the
carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The ASU does
not change how indefinite-lived intangible assets are calculated or assigned to
reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived
intangible assets annually for impairment. In addition, the ASU does not amend
the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment
between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise
the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider. The
amendments of ASU 2012-02 are effective for annual and interim impairment tests
performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. As Trustmark does
not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill, the
adoption of ASU 2012-02 will have no impact on Trustmark's consolidated
financial statements.
ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date
for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No.
2011-05." ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date of the requirement of ASU
2011-05 to present separate line items on the income statement for
reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive
income into net income. ASU 2011-12 was issued to allow the FASB time to
redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the
effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on
the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods
presented. Entities are still required to present reclassification adjustments
within other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement that
reports other comprehensive income or in the notes to the financial
statements. All other requirements of ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU
2011-12. The requirements of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, became
effective for Trustmark's financial statements beginning January 1, 2012. For
Trustmark, the impact of the ASU is a change in presentation only and did not
have a significant impact on Trustmark's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for
Impairment." Issued in September 2011, ASU 2011-08 amends the guidance in ASC
350-202 on testing goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities
testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative
assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1
of the goodwill impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of
qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely
than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be
required. The ASU does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to
reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually
for impairment. In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test
goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant;
however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity
should consider. The amendments became effective for Trustmark's annual goodwill
impairment tests beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not
have an impact on Trustmark's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive
Income." ASU 2011-05 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of
comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other
comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive
income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity
is required to present each component of net income along with total net income,
each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other
comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05
eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as
part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the
Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other
comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be
reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. Early
adoption is permitted. The ASU became effective for Trustmark's financial
statements beginning January 1, 2012. For Trustmark, the impact of the ASU is a
change in presentation only and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark's
consolidated financial statements.
74--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." The ASU is the
result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair
value framework on how to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide
about fair value measurements. While the ASU is largely consistent with existing
fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands existing disclosure
requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. Many of
these amendments were made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between
U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. However, some could change how fair value measurement
guidance is applied. The ASU became effective for Trustmark's financial
statements beginning January 1, 2012, and did not have a significant impact on
Trustmark's consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures are
reported in Note 19 - Fair Value.
ASU 2011-03, "Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective
Control for Repurchase Agreements." The ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the
requirement for entities to consider whether a transferor has the ability to
repurchase the financial assets in a repurchase agreement. This requirement was
one of the criteria that entities used to determine whether the transferor
maintained effective control. Although entities must consider all the
effective-control criteria under ASC 860, the elimination of this requirement
may lead to more conclusions that a repurchase arrangement should be accounted
for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale. The guidance should be applied
prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that
occur on or after the effective date. The ASU became effective for Trustmark's
financial statements beginning January 1, 2012, and did not have a significant
impact on Trustmark's consolidated financial statements.
