PART I
The Corporation
Description of Business
Trustmark Corporation (Trustmark), a Mississippi business corporation incorporated in 1968, is a bank holding company headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi. Trustmark’s principal subsidiary is Trustmark National Bank (TNB), initially chartered by the State of Mississippi in 1889. At December 31, 2014, TNB had total assets of $12.249 billion, which represented approximately 99.98% of the consolidated assets of Trustmark.
Through TNB and its other subsidiaries, Trustmark operates as a financial services organization providing banking and other financial solutions through 205 offices and 3,060 full-time equivalent associates (measured at December 31, 2014) located in the states of Alabama (primarily in the central and southern regions of that state, which are collectively referred to herein as Trustmark’s Alabama market), Florida (primarily in the northwest or “Panhandle” region of that state which is referred to herein as Trustmark’s Florida market), Mississippi, Tennessee (in Memphis and the Northern Mississippi regions, which are collectively referred to herein as Trustmark’s Tennessee market), and Texas (primarily in Houston, which is referred to herein as Trustmark’s Texas market). The principal products produced and services rendered by TNB and Trustmark’s other subsidiaries are as follows:
Trustmark National Bank
Commercial Banking – TNB provides a full range of commercial banking services to corporations and other business customers. Loans are provided for a variety of general corporate purposes, including financing for commercial and industrial projects, income producing commercial real estate, owner-occupied real estate and construction and land development. TNB also provides deposit services, including checking, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit as well as treasury management services.
Consumer Banking – TNB provides banking services to consumers, including checking, savings, and money market accounts as well as certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. In addition, TNB provides consumer customers with installment and real estate loans and lines of credit.
Mortgage Banking – TNB provides mortgage banking services, including construction financing, production of conventional and government insured mortgages, secondary marketing and mortgage servicing. At December 31, 2014, TNB’s mortgage loan portfolio totaled approximately $1.083 billion, while its portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others, including Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), totaled approximately $5.636 billion.
Insurance
–
TNB provides a competitive array of insurance solutions for business and individual risk management needs. Business insurance offerings include services and specialized products for medical professionals, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, real estate and group life and health plans. Individual customers are also provided life and health insurance, and personal line policies. TNB provides these services through Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance, Inc.

TNB also provides corporate trust and institutional custody, securities brokerage, financial and estate planning, retirement plan services as well as life insurance and other risk management services provided by FBBI. TNB’s wealth management division is also assisted by Trustmark Investment Advisors, Inc. (TIA), a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered investment adviser. TIA provides customized investment management services to TNB's Wealth Management Division, which in turns relies upon that advice to provide investment management services to TNB's wealth management customers. During the second quarter of 2014, TNB moved the administration of Private Banking, previously reported in the Wealth Management Division, to the General Banking Division, which encompasses TNB’s commercial, consumer and mortgage banking products and services. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark held assets under management and administration of $10.161 billion and brokerage assets of $1.557 billion.

SCC is a Mississippi single member limited liability company and a certified Community Development Entity (CDE). The primary mission of SCC is to provide investment capital for LICs, as defined by Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code, or Low-Income Persons (LIPs). As a certified CDE, SCC is able to apply to the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) to receive NMTC allocations to offer investors in exchange for equity investments in qualified projects.
Capital Trusts
Trustmark Preferred Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a Delaware trust affiliate formed in 2006 to facilitate a private placement of $60.0 million in trust preferred securities. As defined in applicable accounting standards, the Trust is considered a variable interest entity for which Trustmark is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of the Trust are not included in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
Strategy
Trustmark seeks to be a premier diversified financial services company in its markets, providing a broad range of banking, wealth management and insurance solutions to its customers. Trustmark’s products and services are designed to strengthen and expand customer relationships and enhance the organization’s competitive advantages in its markets, as well as to provide cross-selling opportunities that will enable Trustmark to continue to diversify its revenue and earnings streams.

| · | Loans Held for Sale (LHFS) – Mortgage loans purchased from wholesale customers or originated in Trustmark’s General Banking Division, other than mortgage loans that are retained in the LHFI portfolio based on banking relationships or certain investment strategies. |
| · | Acquired Loans – Loans acquired by Trustmark, either pursuant to the acquisition of another bank or pursuant to an acquisition of some or all of another bank’s loan portfolio. |
| · | Covered Loans – Acquired loans that Trustmark acquired in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-assisted transaction and that are covered under a loss-share agreement with the FDIC. |
The following discussion briefly summarizes Trustmark’s lending business by focusing on LHFI and LHFS, and includes a discussion of the risks inherent in these loans, Trustmark’s underwriting policies for its loans and the characteristics of the real estate loan component of these loans. Acquired loans and covered loans are excluded from this summary, as Trustmark did not underwrite those loans at inception. Discussion of Trustmark’s acquired loans, including covered loans, is contained elsewhere in this report.
As a general matter, extending credit to businesses and consumers exposes Trustmark to credit risk, which is the risk that the principal balance and any related interest may not be collected according to the original terms due to the inability or unwillingness of the borrower to repay the loan. Trustmark mitigates credit risk through a set of internal controls, which includes adherence to conservative lending practices and underwriting guidelines, collateral monitoring, and oversight of its borrower’s financial performance and collateral. The risks inherent in specific subsets of lending are discussed below.
LHFI Secured by Construction, Land Development, and Other Land
– Construction and land development loans include loans for both commercial and residential properties to builders/developers and to consumers. This category also includes loans secured by vacant land, except land known to be used or usable for agricultural purposes, such as crop and livestock production. Repayment is normally derived from the sale of the underlying property or from permanent financing, which refinances Trustmark’s initial loan. Trustmark’s engagement in this type of lending is restricted to projects within its geographic markets and is generally extended to those builders and developers exhibiting the highest credit quality with significant equity invested in the project. The underwriting process for these loans includes analysis of the financial position and strength of both the borrower and guarantor, experience with similar projects in the past, market demand and prospects for successful completion of the proposed project within the established budget and schedule, values of underlying collateral and availability of permanent financing. Risk within this portfolio is mitigated through adherence to policies and lending limits, periodic target credit reviews of the different segments of this portfolio, inspection of projects throughout the life of the loan and routine monitoring of financial information and collateral values as they are updated.
Inherent in real estate construction lending is the risk that the full value of the collateral does not exist at the time the loan is granted. Construction lending also inherently includes the risk associated with a borrower’s ability to successfully complete a proposed project on time and within budget. Further, adverse changes in the market occurring between the start of construction and completion of the projects can result in slower sales rates and lower sales prices than originally anticipated which could impact the underlying real estate collateral values and timely and full repayment of these loans. Rising interest rates can adversely affect the cost of construction and the financial viability of real estate projects. Higher interest rates may also result in higher capitalization rates, thereby reducing a property’s value. As a result of this risk profile, LHFI secured by construction, land development and other land are considered to be higher risks than other real estate loans.
LHFI and LHFS Secured by Residential Properties
– Residential real estate loans consist of first and junior liens on residential properties that are extended in the geographic markets in which Trustmark operates as well as mortgage products, originated and purchased, that are underwritten to secondary market standards. Credit underwriting standards include verification of income, valuation of collateral and evaluation of the borrower’s credit history and repayment capacity. Portfolio performance is continuously evaluated through updated credit bureau scores and monitoring of repayment performance throughout the term of the loan.
Credit performance of consumer residential real estate loans is highly dependent on housing values and household income which, in turn are highly dependent on national, regional and local economic factors. Rising interest rates, rising unemployment rates and other adverse changes in these economies may have a negative effect on the ability of Trustmark’s borrowers to repay these loans and negatively affect value of the underlying residential real estate collateral.
LHFI Secured by Nonfarm, Nonresidential Properties
– Trustmark provides financing for both owner-occupied commercial real estate as well as income-producing commercial real estate. Trustmark seeks to maintain a balance of owner-occupied and income-producing real estate loans that moderates its risk to the specific risks of each type of loan. Commercial real estate term loans are typically collateralized by liens on real property. Both types of commercial real estate loans are underwritten to lending policies that include maximum loan-to-value ratios, minimum equity requirements, acceptable amortization periods and minimum debt service coverage requirements, based on property type. Income-producing commercial real estate loans also generally require cash equity and are subject to exposure limits for a single project. All exceptions to established guidelines are subject to stringent internal review and require specific approval. As with commercial loans, the borrower’s financial strength and capacity to repay their obligations remain the primary focus of underwriting. Financial strength is evaluated based upon analytical tools that consider historical and projected cash flows and performance in addition to analysis of the proposed project for income-producing properties. Additional support offered by guarantors is also considered.
Risk for owner-occupied commercial real estate is driven by the creditworthiness of the underlying borrowers, particularly cash flow from the borrowers’ business operations as well as the risk of a shortfall in collateral. Credit performance of loans secured by commercial income-producing real estate can be negatively affected by national, regional and local economic conditions, which may result in deteriorating tenant credit profiles, tenant losses, reduced rental/lease rates and higher than anticipated vacancy rates, all contributing to declines in value or liquidity of the underlying real estate collateral. Other factors, such as increasing interest rates, may result in higher capitalization rates, thereby reducing a property’s value.
Commercial and Industrial LHFI
– Commercial loans (other than commercial loans related to real estate assets, which are summarized above) are made to many types of businesses for various purposes, such as short-term working capital loans that are usually secured by accounts receivable and inventory, equipment and fixed asset purchases that are secured by those assets and term financing for those borrowers within Trustmark’s geographic markets. Trustmark’s credit underwriting process for commercial loans includes analysis of historical and projected cash flows and performance, evaluation of financial strength of both borrowers and guarantors as reflected in current and detailed financial information and evaluation of underlying collateral to support the credit. Credit risk within the commercial loan portfolio is managed through adherence to specific commercial lending policies and internally established lending authorities, diversification within the portfolio and monitoring of the portfolio on a continuing basis.
Credit risk in commercial and industrial loans can arise due to fluctuations in borrowers’ financial condition, deterioration in collateral values and changes in market conditions. The credit risk inherent in these loans depends on, to a significant degree, the general economic conditions of these areas. Further, credit risk can increase if Trustmark’s loans are concentrated to borrowers engaged in the same or similar activities, or to groups of borrowers who may be uniquely or disproportionately affected by market or economic conditions.
Consumer LHFI
– Consumer credit includes loans to individuals for household and personal items, automobile purchases, unsecured loans, personal lines of credit and credit cards. All consumer loans are subject to a standardized underwriting process through Trustmark’s consumer loan center, which uses a custom credit scoring model with emphasis placed upon the borrower’s credit evaluation and historical performance, income evaluation and valuation of collateral (where applicable). Updated credit bureau scores are obtained on all existing consumer loans/lines on a periodic basis in order to monitor portfolio credit quality changes and mitigate risk.
Similar to residential real estate loan portfolios, an inherent risk factor in consumer loans is that they are dependent on national, regional and local economic factors that affect employment in the markets where these loans are originated. Generally, consumer loan portfolios consist of a large number of relatively small-balance loans, some of which are originated as unsecured credit (credit cards and some personal lines of credit), and as such, do not have collateral as a secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans generally pose heightened risks of collectability and loss when compared to other loan types.
Other LHFI
– Other loans primarily consist of loans to non-depository financial institutions, such as mortgage companies, finance companies and other financial intermediaries; loans to state and political subdivisions; and loans to non-profit and charitable organizations. These loans are underwritten based on the specific nature or purpose of the loan and underlying collateral with special consideration given to the specific source of repayment for the loan.
Similar to commercial and industrial loans, the inherent risk in other loans can arise due to fluctuations in borrowers’ financial condition, deterioration in collateral values and changes in market and economic conditions. Loans to state and political subdivisions have the added inherent risk of being somewhat dependent on the ability and capacity of those entities to generate tax and other revenues to repay the loans. Loans to non-profit and charitable organizations are dependent on those organizations’ ability to generate revenues through their fundraising efforts and other forms of financial support, which can be susceptible to economic downturns.
Recent Economic and Industry Developments
The economy has continued to show moderate signs of improvement; however, lingering economic concerns remain as a result of the cumulative weight of soft U.S. labor markets, continuation of the recent decline in crude oil prices for an extended period of time, slowing growth in markets in Western Europe, as well as in China and other emerging markets, combined with uncertainty regarding the timing of the anticipated tightening of the monetary policy by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), continued instability of the Russian economy and renewed uncertainty as to the potential of increased financial instability in Greece and, perhaps, in the broader European Union. Doubts surrounding the near-term direction of global markets are expected to persist for some time. While our customer base is wholly domestic, international economic conditions can affect domestic conditions, and thus have an impact upon Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations.
Notwithstanding the various issues affecting European and Asian economies in 2014, the U.S. economy improved during the period. Estimated employment growth in the United States for 2014 was reported to average approximately 246,000 jobs created per month compared to 194,000 jobs created per month during 2013. The unemployment rate declined from 6.7% as of December 2013 to 5.6% as of December 2014, which reflected an increase in the number of jobs created and a decline in the number of jobs lost, though it also reflected a rise in the discouraged worker rate, which suggests that actual job growth was at a lesser rate. Consumer confidence in the United States rose by approximately 20% in 2014, which reportedly reflected consumers’ increased optimism about current business conditions and the current job market as well as the outlook for continued job growth and further improvement in the overall domestic economy. In the January 2015 “Summary of Commentary on Current Economic Conditions by Federal Reserve Districts,” the twelve Federal Reserve Districts’ reports suggested national economic activity continued to expand at a moderate pace during the reporting period. According to the Federal Reserve Districts’ reports, overall consumer spending in most districts increased with modest year-over-year gains in retail sales, automotive sales showed moderate-to-strong growth, activity in the nonfinancial services sector continued to expand at a moderate pace overall and manufacturing activity expanded in most districts. In addition, single-family residential real estate sales and construction were largely flat overall, reflecting a slight year-over-year decline in sales in most districts and modest increases in home prices, while commercial real estate activity expanded in most districts. The Federal Reserve Districts’ report also noted that demand for business and consumer credit grew during the reporting period as most districts reported slight-to-moderate increases in loan volumes while credit quality remained stable with overall reductions in loan delinquencies.
The impact of increases in interest rates during the second half of 2013 remained evident in the year-over-year earnings comparisons across the banking industry during 2014. The FRB has recently signaled its intent to begin increasing interest rates during the second half of 2015; however, it is not possible to predict the timing, amount or even direction of any such increase in the coming year. Low interest rates will continue to place pressure on net interest margins, as older assets continue to mature or default and are replaced with lower-yielding instruments.
In the FDIC’s third quarter 2014 “Quarterly Banking Profile” (published November 26, 2014), insured institutions reported an aggregate increase in net income for the third quarter of 2014 compared to that of 2013, and the largest year-over-year growth in reported net operating revenue (the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income) since the fourth quarter of 2009. In the same report, FDIC-insured institutions reported an aggregate increase in quarterly loan loss provisions, which was the first year-over-year increase in quarterly loan loss provisions since 2009. These institutions also report (i) the lowest quarterly total for net charge-offs since the first quarter of 2007, as charge-offs in all major loan categories, except auto loans, had year-over-year declines; (ii) improved noncurrent levels across all major loan categories, except loans to individuals; (iii) declines in loan loss reserves for the eighteenth consecutive quarter, as net charge-offs taken out of reserves exceeded the provisions added to reserves; and (iv) increased equity capital, as 98.5% of all insured institutions met or exceeded the requirements for the highest capital category.
In the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC’s) third quarter 2014 “Mortgage Metrics Report” (published in December 2014), the OCC reported continued performance improvements and declines in foreclosure activity during the quarter for the portfolio of loans included within their report. This was consistent with observed industry trends overall, and was attributable to improved economic conditions and aggressive foreclosure prevention assistance. The OCC also reported (i) an increase in the percentage of mortgage loans that were current and performing as compared to both the prior quarter and one year earlier, (ii) a decrease in the percentage of mortgage loans that were 30-to-59 days past due compared to the previous year and (iii) a decrease in the percentage of seriously delinquent mortgage loans (mortgage loans 60 days or more past due or held by bankrupt borrowers whose payments are 30 days or more past due) from the prior year. Lastly, the OCC reported that foreclosure activity among the reporting servicers continued to decline as both the number of mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure and the number of home retention actions implemented by servicers decreased from one year earlier.
Trustmark has continued to dedicate staff to mitigate foreclosure of primary residences on borrowers who are subject to adverse financial conditions in the current economic environment. Loss mitigation counselors and additional support staff have been utilized to accommodate loss mitigation activity. Trustmark continues to utilize personnel in its collections department and has conducted regular training of its personnel on foreclosure mitigation. In some cases, Trustmark may make deferred payment arrangements with such borrowers on a short-term basis. Likewise, Trustmark continues to follow FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA guidelines for foreclosure moratoriums in its portfolio of loans serviced for others. As for new loan originations, primarily those intended for sale in the secondary market, Trustmark follows the underwriting standards of the relevant government sponsored enterprises (GSE) and agencies. As those GSE and agencies have revised standards on new originations, so has Trustmark. During 2014, Trustmark continued to allocate the appropriate resources to fully comply with all investor underwriting requirements.
Management has continued to carefully monitor the impact of liquidity in the financial markets, changes in 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. Managing credit risks resulting from current economic and real estate market conditions also continues to be a primary focus for Trustmark. To help manage its exposure to credit risk, Trustmark has continued to utilize several of the resources put into place during the financial crisis of 2008. At that time, to address the downturn in the Florida real estate market, Trustmark established a dedicated problem asset working group. This group is composed of experienced lenders and continues to manage problem assets in the Florida market. In addition, a special committee of executive management continues to provide guidance while monitoring the resolutions of problem assets. Aside from these processes, Trustmark continues to conduct quarterly reviews and assessments of all criticized loans in all its markets. These comprehensive assessments include the formulation of action plans and updates of recent developments on all criticized loans.
Trustmark did not make significant changes to its loan underwriting standards during 2014. Trustmark’s willingness to make loans to qualified applicants that meet its traditional, prudent lending standards has not changed. Trustmark adheres to interagency guidelines regarding concentration limits of commercial real estate loans. As a result of the continued economic uncertainty, Trustmark remains cautious in granting credit involving certain categories of real estate as well as in making exceptions to its loan policy.
For additional discussion of the impact of the current economic environment on the financial condition and results of operations of Trustmark and its subsidiaries, see Part II. Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations located elsewhere in this report.
Competition
There is significant competition within the banking and financial services industry in the markets in which Trustmark operates. Changes in regulation, technology and product delivery systems have resulted in an increasingly competitive environment. Trustmark expects to continue to face increasing competition from online and traditional financial institutions seeking to attract customers by providing access to similar services and products.
Trustmark and its subsidiaries compete with national and state chartered banking institutions of comparable or larger size and resources and with smaller community banking organizations. Trustmark has numerous local, regional and national nonbank competitors, including savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, insurance companies, finance companies, financial service operations of major retailers, investment brokerage and financial advisory firms and mutual fund companies. Because nonbank financial institutions are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as banks and bank holding companies, they can often operate with greater flexibility and lower cost structures. Currently, Trustmark does not face meaningful competition from international banks in its markets, although that could change in the future.
At June 30, 2014, Trustmark’s deposit market share ranked within the top four positions in 75% of the 52 counties served and in the first or second position in 50% of the counties served. The table below presents FDIC deposit data regarding TNB’s deposit market share by state as of June 30, 2014.

Services provided by the Wealth Management segment face competition from many national, regional and local financial institutions. Companies that offer broad services similar to those provided by Trustmark, such as other banks, trust companies and full service brokerage firms, as well as companies that specialize in particular services offered by Trustmark, such as investment advisors and mutual fund providers, all compete with Trustmark’s Wealth Management segment.
Trustmark’s insurance subsidiary faces competition from local, regional and national insurance companies, independent insurance agencies as well as from other financial institutions offering insurance products.
Trustmark’s ability to compete effectively is a result of providing customers with desired products and services in a convenient and cost effective manner. Customers for commercial, consumer and mortgage banking as well as wealth management and insurance services are influenced by convenience, quality of service, personal contacts, availability of products and services and competitive pricing. Trustmark continually reviews its products, locations, alternative delivery channels, and pricing strategies to maintain and enhance its competitive position. While Trustmark’s position varies by market, Management believes it can compete effectively as a result of local market knowledge and awareness of customer needs.
Supervision and Regulation
The following discussion sets forth certain material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies and their subsidiaries and provides certain specific information relevant to Trustmark. The discussion is a summary of detailed statutes, regulations and policies. Such statutes, regulations and policies are continually under the review of the United States Congress and state legislatures as well as federal and state regulatory agencies. A change in statutes, regulations or policies could have a material impact on the business of Trustmark and its subsidiaries. Trustmark and its subsidiaries may be affected by legislation that can change banking statutes in substantial and unexpected ways and by the actions of the FRB as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy.
Legislation
Trustmark is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act). Trustmark and its nonbank subsidiaries are therefore subject to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the BHC Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), the regulations of the FRB and the requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).
The Dodd-Frank Act represents very broad legislation that expands federal oversight of the banking industry and federal law, including under the FDI Act and the BHC Act. For example, under the FDI Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, federal regulators must require that depository institution holding companies serve as a source of strength for their depository institution subsidiaries. In addition, through its amendment to 12 U.S.C. § 1848a of the BHC Act, the Dodd-Frank Act eliminates the strict limitations on the ability of the FRB to exercise rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority over functionally regulated bank holding company subsidiaries.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB within the Federal Reserve System as an independent bureau with responsibility for consumer financial protection. The CFPB is responsible for issuing rules, orders and guidance implementing federal consumer financial laws. The CFPB has primary enforcement authority over “very large” insured depository institutions or insured credit unions and their affiliates. An insured depository institution is deemed “very large” if it reports assets of more than $10 billion in its quarterly Call Report for four consecutive quarters. For mergers, acquisitions, or combinations, the combined institution is deemed “very large” if the sum of the total assets of the constituent institutions was more than $10 billion for four consecutive quarterly Call Reports prior to the merger. The CFPB has near exclusive supervision authority, including examination authority, over these “very large” institutions and their affiliates to assess compliance with federal consumer financial laws, to obtain information about the institutions’ activities and compliance systems and procedures, and to detect and assess risks to consumers and markets.
TNB’s total assets were $12.249 billion at December 31, 2014, and $11.681 billion at December 31, 2013. Following the closing of the merger of Trustmark with BancTrust on February 15, 2013, TNB had assets of greater than $10.0 billion. The combined assets of Trustmark and BancTrust were greater than $10.0 billion for the four quarters prior to the merger, and therefore, the merged institution was deemed a “very large” insured depository institution subject to CFPB supervision and enforcement authority with respect to federal consumer financial laws beginning in the second quarter of 2013. For more information on the merger with BancTrust, please see Note 2 – Business Combinations included in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data located elsewhere in this report.
Federal Oversight Over Mergers and Acquisitions
Bank holding companies generally may engage, directly or indirectly, only in banking and such other activities as are determined by the FRB to be closely related to banking.
The BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before: (i) it may acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after such acquisition, the bank holding company will directly or indirectly own or control 5.0% or more of the voting shares of the bank; (ii) it or any of its subsidiaries, other than a bank, may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank; or (iii) it may merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. The BHC Act further provides that the FRB may not approve any transaction that would result in a monopoly or would be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any section of the United States, or the effect of which may be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly in any section of the country, or that in any other manner would be in restraint of trade, unless the anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The FRB is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding companies and banks concerned and the convenience and needs of the community to be served. Consideration of financial resources generally focuses on capital adequacy, and consideration of convenience and needs issues includes the parties’ performance under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.
The BHC Act also requires FRB approval for a bank holding company’s acquisition of a company that is not an insured depository institution. The FRB must generally consider whether performance of the activity by a bank holding company can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, that outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices. The Dodd-Frank Act gives the FRB express statutory authority also to consider the “risk to the stability of the United States banking or financial system” when reviewing the acquisition of such a company by a bank holding company.
The BHC Act, as amended by the interstate banking provisions of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Riegle-Neal Act) repealed the prior statutory restrictions on interstate acquisitions of banks by bank holding companies, such that Trustmark may acquire a bank located in any other state, regardless of state law to the contrary, subject to certain deposit-percentage, aging requirements, and other restrictions. The Riegle-Neal Act also generally provided that national and state-chartered banks may branch interstate through acquisitions of banks in other states. The Dodd-Frank Act requires that bank holding companies be well-capitalized and well-managed to obtain federal bank regulatory approval of an interstate acquisition.
With the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDI Act and the National Bank Act have also been amended to remove the “opt-in” concept introduced by the Riegle-Neal Act. Under the Riegle-Neal Act, states had been given the option to opt-in to
de novo
interstate branching. Many states did not opt-in, thereby continuing the long-standing prohibition on
de novo
interstate branching by commercial banks chartered in those states. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC and the OCC, both of which regulate TNB, now have the authority to approve applications by insured state nonmember banks and national banks, respectively, to establish
de novo
branches in states other than the bank’s home state if the law of the State in which the branch is located, or is to be located, would permit establishment of the branch if the bank were a State bank chartered by such State.
Restrictions on Lending Limits and Affiliate Transactions
National banks, like TNB, are limited by the National Bank Act in how much they may lend to one borrower and how much they may lend to insiders. The Dodd-Frank Act strengthens existing restrictions on the bank’s loans to one borrower by now including within the lending limit derivative transactions, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending or borrowing transactions by banks. These provisions expand the scope of national bank lending limits by requiring banks to calculate and limit the total amount of credit exposure to any one counterparty based on these transactions.
In addition,
the Dodd-Frank Act amends the FDI Act, imposing new restrictions on insured depository institutions’ purchases of assets from insiders. The FRB is given rulemaking authority over these new asset-purchase restrictions subject to prior consultation with the OCC and FDIC.
Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act establish parameters for a bank to conduct “covered transactions” with its affiliates, with the objective of limiting risk to the insured bank. The Dodd-Frank Act imposes new restrictions on transactions between affiliates by amending these two sections of the Federal Reserve Act. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, restrictions on transactions with affiliates are enhanced by (i) including among “covered transactions” transactions between bank and affiliate-advised investment funds; (ii) including among “covered transactions” transactions between a bank and an affiliate with respect to securities repurchase agreements and derivatives transactions; (iii) adopting stricter collateral rules; and (iv) imposing tighter restrictions on transactions between banks and their financial subsidiaries.
State Laws and Other Federal Oversight
In addition to being regulated as a bank holding company, Trustmark is subject to regulation by the State of Mississippi under its general business corporation laws. Trustmark is also under the jurisdiction of the SEC for matters relating to the offering, sale and trading of its securities. Trustmark is subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as administered by the SEC.
TNB is a national banking association and, as such, is subject to regulation by the OCC, the FDIC and the FRB. Almost every area of the operations and financial condition of TNB is subject to extensive regulation and supervision and to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law including loans, reserves, investments, issuance of securities, establishment of branches, capital adequacy, liquidity, earnings, dividends, management practices and the provision of services.
While TNB’s activities are governed primarily by federal law, the Dodd-Frank Act potentially narrows National Bank Act preemption of state consumer financial laws, thereby making TNB and other national banks potentially subject to increased state regulation. The Dodd-Frank Act also codifies the Supreme Court’s decision in
Cuomo v. Clearing House Association
. As a result, State Attorneys General may enforce “an applicable law” against federally-chartered depository institutions like TNB. In addition, under the Dodd-Frank Act, State Attorneys General are authorized to bring civil actions against federally-chartered institutions, like TNB, to enforce regulations prescribed by the CFPB or to secure other remedies.
Finally, the Dodd-Frank Act potentially expands state regulation over banks by eliminating National Bank Act preemption for national bank operating subsidiaries, including operating subsidiaries of TNB.
TNB’s nonbanking subsidiaries are already subject to a variety of state and federal laws. TIA, a registered investment advisor, is subject to supervision and regulation by the SEC and the State of Mississippi. FBBI is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the states in which its divisions are active. SCC is subject to the supervision and regulation of the CDFI Fund and the State of Mississippi.
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (GLB Act), banks are able to offer customers a wide range of financial products and services without the restraints of previous legislation. The primary provisions of the GLB Act related to the establishment of financial holding companies and financial subsidiaries. The GLB Act authorizes national banks to own or control a “financial subsidiary” that engages in activities that are not permissible for national banks to engage in directly. The GLB Act contains a number of provisions dealing with insurance activities by bank subsidiaries. Generally, the GLB Act affirms the role of the states in regulating insurance activities, including the insurance activities of financial subsidiaries of banks, but the GLB Act also preempts certain state laws. As a result of the GLB Act, TNB elected for predecessor subsidiaries that now constitute FBBI to become financial subsidiaries. This enables TNB to engage in insurance agency activities at any location.
The GLB Act also imposed requirements related to the privacy of customer financial information. In accordance with the GLB Act, federal bank regulators adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. The privacy provisions of the GLB Act affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. Trustmark complies with these requirements and recognizes the need for its customers’ privacy.
In addition to the changes described above, the Dodd-Frank Act makes numerous changes to the various patchwork of federal laws that regulate the activities of Trustmark, TNB and their subsidiaries and affiliates.
The Dodd-Frank Act amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) 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 is the sum of 21 cents per transaction and five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. In addition, the FRB also approved a final rule on July 27, 2012 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 rule. The provisions regarding debit card interchange fees became effective October 1, 2011, and the fraud prevention adjustment became effective October 1, 2012. On July 31, 2013, however, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia held that, in determining the debit card interchange fee standard in the final rule, the FRB improperly considered costs it was prohibited by the EFTA from considering. The court, accordingly, remanded to the FRB with instructions to vacate the final rule, but stayed the order to vacate to provide the FRB an opportunity to replace the invalid portions of the final rule. On March 21, 2014, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the lower court decision finding that the FRB’s final rule was based on a reasonable interpretation of the statute. On January 20, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the retailers’ appeal.
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, 2013, the annual measurement date, Trustmark had assets greater than $10.0 billion; and, therefore, was required to comply with the debit card interchange fee standards by July 1, 2014. For additional information regard the impact of the debit card interchange fee standards to Trustmark, see the section captioned, “Noninterest Income – Bank Card and Other Fees” included in Part II. Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – included elsewhere in this report.
In the area of mortgages, the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to restrict the payment of fees to real-estate mortgage originators. Furthermore, TILA was also amended to impose minimum underwriting standards on real-estate mortgage creditors (including nonbanks as well as bank creditors) and verifications to check borrowers’ income and their ability to pay. Changes to Trustmark’s product structure and services as a result of these amendments to TILA could have an adverse effect on Trustmark’s financial condition and results of operations.
Anti-Money Laundering Initiatives and the USA Patriot Act
Trustmark is also subject to extensive regulations aimed at combatting money laundering and terrorist financing. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act) substantially broadened the scope of United States anti-money laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The Treasury has issued a number of implementing regulations to financial institutions that apply to various requirements of the USA Patriot Act. These regulations impose obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal and financial consequences for the institution.
Capital Adequacy
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal bank regulatory agencies. Capital adequacy regulations and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors. The Dodd-Frank Act directs the federal bank regulatory agencies to make capital requirements countercyclical – meaning that additional capital will be required in times of economic expansion, but less capital will be required during periods of economic downturn.
The FRB and the OCC, the primary regulators of Trustmark and TNB, respectively, have substantially similar risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio requirements for banking institutions. Furthermore, under the Dodd-Frank Act, federal bank regulatory agencies are required to impose on all depository institutions and holding companies minimum risk-based capital and leverage requirements that are not less than the “generally applicable” minimum risk-based capital and leverage requirements in effect for insured depository institutions.
In early July 2013, the FRB, FDIC and OCC jointly promulgated final rules revising regulatory capital requirements to address perceived shortcomings in existing regulatory capital requirements that became evident during the recent financial crisis by implementing capital requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act and international capital regulatory standards by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The new capital rules adopt a new common equity Tier 1 capital requirement of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio to 6.0% and introduce a new capital conservation buffer of 2.5% common equity Tier 1 capital (to be phased in through January 1, 2019). The new capital rules do not increase the previously existing 8.0% total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio requirement or requirement for bank holding companies to maintain a 4.0% leverage ratio. The new capital rules also revise the standards for an insured depository institution to be “well-capitalized” under the banking agencies’ prompt corrective action framework, requiring a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0% and total capital ratio of 10.0%, while leaving unchanged the existing 5.0% leverage ratio requirement.
For purposes of calculating the denominator of the risk-based capital ratios, a banking institution’s assets and some of its specified off-balance sheet commitments and obligations are assigned to various risk categories. The capital rules adopt new risk-weight calculation methods for the “standardized” denominator that generally assign higher risk weights to banking assets than under the previous capital rules. The new capital rules do not change the previous treatment of residential mortgage exposures.
For purposes of calculating the numerator of the capital ratios, capital, at both the holding company and bank level, is classified in one of three tiers depending on type. The new capital rules revise the regulatory components and calculations of capital. Common equity Tier 1 is predominantly comprised of common stock instruments (including related surplus) and retained earnings, net of treasury stock, and after making necessary capital deductions and adjustments. Deductions from common equity Tier 1 capital include goodwill and other intangibles, net of any associated deferred tax liability that would be extinguished if the goodwill becomes extinguished or impaired; deferred tax assets that rely on the future profitability of the institution; and a shortfall in provisions relative to expected losses. Mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets may count as capital up to a combined maximum of 15%, and gains and losses on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) may be included in capital for institutions that do not make opt-out elections. Tier 1 capital is comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital, which includes non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and similar instruments meeting specified eligibility criteria (including related surplus) and “TARP” preferred stock and other instruments issued under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Newly issued trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock may no longer be included in Tier 1 capital. However, smaller depository institution holding companies (those with assets less than $15 billion as of year-end 2009) and most mutual holding companies are allowed to continue to count as Tier 1 capital most outstanding trust preferred securities and other non-qualifying securities that were issued prior to May 19, 2010 (up to a limit of 25% of Tier 1 capital, excluding non-qualifying capital instruments) rather than phasing such securities out of regulatory capital. Trustmark currently has outstanding trust preferred securities that it continues to count as Tier 1 capital up to the regulatory limit. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, which includes certain subordinated debt with a minimum original maturity of five years (including related surplus) and a limited amount of allowance for loan losses. Newly issued trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock generally may be included in Tier 2 capital, provided they do not include features that are disallowed by the capital rules, such as the acceleration of principal other than in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency, or receivership of the issuer.
At December 31, 2014, Trustmark exceeded its common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and total capital requirements with common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital equal to 12.75%, 13.47% and 14.56% of its total risk-weighted assets, respectively. At December 31, 2014, TNB also exceeded these requirements with common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital equal to 13.24%, 13.24% and 14.32% of its total risk-weighted assets, respectively.
The leverage ratio is generally calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by an institution’s average total on-balance consolidated assets. As a bank holding company, Trustmark is required to hold a 4.0% leverage ratio. For TNB to be considered well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, its leverage ratio must be at least 5.0%. At December 31, 2014, the leverage ratios for Trustmark and TNB were 9.63% and 9.46%, respectively.
Advanced approaches institutions (generally those with consolidated total assets of at least $250 billion or consolidated total on-balance sheet foreign exposures of at least $10 billion) are also subject to a supplementary leverage ratio of 3.0% and a countercyclical capital buffer of up to 2.5% common equity Tier 1 capital (to be phased in through January 1, 2019). Trustmark and TNB are not required to comply with the advanced approaches at this time due to their respective asset sizes and lack of on-balance sheet foreign exposures.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement remedies. The FDI Act identifies five capital categories for insured depository institutions. These include well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. The FDI Act requires banking regulators to take prompt corrective action whenever financial institutions do not meet minimum capital requirements. Failure to meet the capital guidelines could also subject an insured depository institution to capital raising requirements. In addition, an insured depository institution is generally prohibited from making capital distributions, including paying dividends, or paying management fees to a holding company if the institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. As of December 31, 2014, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized TNB as well-capitalized based on the ratios and guidelines described above. In addition, the FDI Act requires the various regulatory agencies to prescribe certain noncapital standards for safety and soundness relating generally to operations and management, asset quality and executive compensation and permits regulatory action against a financial institution that does not meet such standards.
An institution’s failure to exceed the capital conservation buffer with common equity Tier 1 capital would result in limitations on an institution’s ability to make capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Restricted distributions would include dividends or interest payments on a Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital instrument, as well as a repurchase or redemption of such an instrument unless the banking organization fully replaces that capital instrument by issuing another capital instrument of the same or higher tier of regulatory capital in the same calendar quarter.
Trustmark and TNB were required to comply with the new capital rules beginning January 1, 2015. Certain of the requirements of the capital rules, such as the capital conservation buffer, will be phased in until January 1, 2019. Once the new capital requirements are fully phased in, it is expected that Trustmark and TNB will be required to hold a greater amount of capital and a greater amount of common equity than they were previously required to hold. Management does not expect the new capital rules to have a significant impact on Trustmark or TNB; however, Management will continue to evaluate the impact of the capital rules on Trustmark and TNB as they are phased in.
Payment of Dividends and Other Restrictions
The principal source of Trustmark’s cash revenues is dividends from TNB. There are various legal and regulatory provisions that limit the amount of dividends TNB can pay to Trustmark without regulatory approval. Approval of the OCC is required if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year exceeds the total of TNB’s net income for that year combined with its retained net income from the preceding two years. TNB will have available in 2015 approximately $114.3 million plus its net income for that year to pay to Trustmark as dividends. In addition, subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries. Further, subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of any services to the bank holding company. Moreover, an institution’s failure to exceed the capital conservation buffer set forth in the capital rules with common equity Tier 1 capital would result in limitations on an institution’s ability to make capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. A failure by TNB to meet the capital conservation buffer would limit the ability of TNB to pay dividends to Trustmark.
Under cross-guarantee provisions of the FDI Act, the FDIC may recoup losses to the
Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF)
by assessing a claim against insured depository institutions under common control for losses caused by the failure of an affiliated insured depository institution. The FDIC will assess cross-guarantee liability on the affiliates of a failed insured depository institution only where such assessments are determined to result in the lowest cost to the DIF. In deciding whether to pursue a cross-guarantee, the FDIC will analyze whether the FDIC would achieve a higher return if the failed institution were sold as an open depository institution; whether any commonly controlled institutions are likely to fail at a later date and thereby increase the losses to the DIF; or, whether by postponing the assessment, the loss would be expected to grow and value available to the FDIC would dissipate.
FDIC Deposit Insurance Assessments
The deposits of TNB are insured up to regulatory limits set by the DIF, as administered by the FDIC, and, accordingly, are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. The FDIC uses a risk based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a bank’s capital level and supervisory rating (the CAMELS component rating). The CAMELS rating system is a supervisory rating system developed to classify a bank’s overall condition by taking into account capital adequacy, assets, management capability, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market and interest rate risk. For Risk Category I institutions, including TNB, assessment rates are determined from a combination of financial ratios and CAMELS component ratings. The minimum annualized assessment rate for Risk Category I institutions during 2014 was 2.5 basis points with the maximum rate being 9.0 basis points. Assessment rates for institutions in Risk Category I may vary within this range depending upon changes in CAMELS component ratings and financial ratios.
The Dodd-Frank Act imposes a new deposit insurance assessment base for an insured depository institution equal to the institution’s total assets minus the sum of (1) its average tangible equity during the assessment period, and (2) any additional amount the FDIC determines is warranted for custodial and banker’s banks. The minimum reserve ratio increased to 1.35 percent of estimated annual insured deposits or assessment base. The FDIC is directed by the Dodd-Frank Act to “offset the effect” of the increased reserve ratio for insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion.
The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased the deposit insurance level to $250,000 per account.
In 2014, TNB’s expenses related to deposit insurance premiums totaled $10.2 million, which reflects the increased assessment base resulting from the merger with BancTrust on February 15, 2013. In addition, TNB also paid approximately $672 thousand in Financing Corporation (FICO) assessments related to outstanding FICO bonds for which the FDIC serves as collection agent. The bonds issued by FICO are due to mature from 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the FICO assessment rate was equal to 0.60 basis points.
Recent Regulatory Developments
On January 18, 2013, the CFPB, FRB, FDIC, OCC, Federal Housing Finance Agency, and National Credit Union Administration, issued a final rule implementing amendments to the TILA made by the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule imposes heightened appraisal requirements for higher-priced mortgage loans and became mandatory on January 18, 2014. After notice and comment, the six agencies subsequently issued a final rule on December 12, 2013, that created exemptions from these appraisal requirements for loans of $25,000 or less, certain “streamlined” refinancings, and certain loans secured by manufactured housing. The final rule, as revised, is intended to provide creditors with some relief from the mortgage appraisal requirements. Trustmark has implemented the appropriate policies, procedures, and training to ensure compliance with these new rules. Trustmark’s operations and consolidated financial statements were not impacted by the implementation of these new rules.
In October 2012, the FRB, FDIC and OCC published final rules implementing the company-run stress test requirements mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rules require institutions with average total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion to conduct an annual company-run stress test using data as of September 30 of each year under one base and at least two stress scenarios as provided by the agencies. Stress test results must be provided to the agencies by March 31 of the following year. Trustmark has been subject to these stress test requirements since September 2014, and is required to make its first filing with regulators in March 2015. On October 17, 2014, the FRB issued a notice of final rulemaking to switch the testing dates to match the calendar year so that stress tests would use year-end data and capital planning would follow for the next calendar year. The FRB’s final rule, beginning with the January 1, 2016 annual stress test cycle, requires institutions with total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion to conduct an annual company-run stress test using data as of December 31 of the preceding year, provide results to the agencies by July 31 of each year and publicly disclose results in October of each year. Trustmark anticipates that the capital ratios, as reflected in the stress test calculations under the required stress test scenarios, will be an important factor considered by the agencies in evaluating the capital adequacy of Trustmark and TNB and whether proposed payments of dividends or stock repurchases are consistent with prudential expectations.

Trustmark and its subsidiaries could be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. As a financial institution, Trustmark has significant exposure to market risks, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This section includes a description of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified by Management that could materially affect Trustmark’s financial condition and results of operations, as well as the value of Trustmark’s financial instruments in general, and Trustmark common stock, in particular. Additional risks and uncertainties that Management currently deems immaterial or is unaware of may also impair Trustmark’s financial condition and results of operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by the risk factors that are identified below. The occurrence of any one of, or of a combination of, these risk factors could have a material negative effect on Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations.
Trustmark’s largest source of revenue (net interest income) is subject to interest rate risk.
Trustmark’s profitability depends to a large extent on net interest income, which is the difference between income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Trustmark is exposed to interest rate risk in its core banking activities of lending and deposit taking, since assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. Trustmark is unable to predict changes in market interest rates, which are affected by many factors beyond Trustmark’s control, including inflation, recession, unemployment, money supply, domestic and international events and changes in the United States and other financial markets. Even in an environment in which the Federal Reserve is signaling intent to raise rates in the future, it is not possible to predict the timing, amount or even direction of any such increase in the coming year.
Financial simulation models are the primary tools used by Trustmark to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of scenarios, Management is provided with extensive information on the potential impact to net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. Models are structured to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of Trustmark’s balance sheet. Assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and the changing composition of Trustmark’s balance sheet, resulting from both strategic plans and customer behavior. In addition, the model incorporates Management’s assumptions and expectations regarding such factors as loan and deposit growth, pricing, prepayment speeds and spreads between interest rates. Trustmark’s simulation model using static balances at December 31, 2014, estimated that in the event of a hypothetical 200 basis point and 100 basis point increase in interest rates, net interest income may increase 2.4% and 1.3%, respectively. In the event of a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates using static balances at December 31, 2014, it is estimated net interest income may decrease by 5.8%.
Net interest income is Trustmark’s largest revenue source, and it is important to discuss how Trustmark's interest rate risk may be influenced by the various factors shown below:
| · | In general, for a given change in interest rates, the amount of the change in value (positive or negative) is larger for assets and liabilities with longer remaining maturities. The shape of the yield curve may affect new loan yields, funding costs and investment income differently. |
| · | The remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as payment behavior changes in response to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates decline sharply, fixed-rate loans may pre-pay, or pay down, faster than anticipated, thus reducing future cash flows and interest income. Conversely, if interest rates increase, depositors may cash in their certificates of deposit prior to term (notwithstanding any applicable early withdrawal penalties) or otherwise reduce their deposits to pursue higher yielding investment alternatives. Repricing frequencies and maturity profiles for assets and liabilities may occur at different times. For example, in a falling rate environment, if assets reprice faster than liabilities, there will be an initial decline in earnings. Moreover, if assets and liabilities reprice at the same time, they may not be by the same increment. For instance, if the federal funds rate increased 50 basis points, rates on demand deposits may rise by 10 basis points, whereas rates on prime-based loans will instantly rise 50 basis points. |
Financial instruments do not respond in a parallel fashion to rising or falling interest rates. This causes asymmetry in the magnitude of changes in net interest income, net economic value and investment income resulting from the hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates. Therefore, Management monitors interest rate risk and adjusts Trustmark’s investment, funding and hedging strategies to mitigate adverse effects of interest rate shifts on Trustmark’s balance sheet.
Trustmark utilizes derivative contracts to hedge mortgage servicing rights (MSR) in order to offset changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rate environments. In spite of Trustmark’s due diligence in regard to these hedging strategies, significant risks are involved that, if realized, may prove such strategies to be ineffective, which could adversely affect results of operations. Risks associated with these strategies include the risk that counterparties in any such derivative and other hedging transactions may not perform; the risk that these hedging strategies rely on Management’s assumptions and projections regarding these assets and general market factors, including prepayment risk, basis risk, market volatility and changes in the shape of the yield curve, and that these assumptions and projections may prove to be incorrect; the risk that these hedging strategies do not adequately mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, prepayment speeds or other forecasted inputs to the hedging model; and the risk that the models used to forecast the effectiveness of hedging instruments may project expectations that differ from actual results. In addition, increased regulation of the derivative markets may increase the cost to Trustmark to implement and maintain an effective hedging strategy.
Trustmark closely monitors the sensitivity of net interest income and investment income to changes in interest rates and attempts to limit the variability of net interest income as interest rates change. Trustmark makes use of both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk.
Trustmark’s business may be adversely affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in general.
The economy has continued to show moderate signs of improvement; however, lingering economic concerns remain as a result of the cumulative weight of soft U.S. labor markets, continuation of the recent decline in crude oil prices for an extended period of time, slowing growth in markets in Western Europe, as well as in China and other emerging markets, combined with uncertainty regarding the timing of the anticipated tightening of the monetary policy by the FRB, continued instability of the Russian economy and renewed uncertainty as to the potential of increased financial instability in Greece and, perhaps, in the broader European Union. The U.S. and European economies and financial markets tend to be closely associated, and therefore significant weakness in Europe would likely dampen domestic growth prospects during 2015. While domestic demand for loans has improved, particularly for commercial loans, further meaningful gains will depend on sustained economic growth. Strategic risk, including threats to business models from low rates and sluggish economic growth, remains high. Management’s ability to plan, prioritize and allocate resources in this new environment will be critical to Trustmark’s ability to sustain earnings that will attract capital. Because of the increasing regulatory expectations created by recent legislation, Management will continue to be challenged in identifying alternative sources of revenue, prudently diversifying assets, liabilities and revenues and effectively managing the costs of compliance.
The FRB has recently signaled its intent to begin increasing interest rates during the second half of 2015; however, the pace at which interest rates will increase remains uncertain. Low interest rates will continue to place pressure on net interest margins, as older assets continue to mature or default and are replaced with lower-yielding instruments. In addition, Management must protect against an increased vulnerability to rapidly changing rates in coming years in the event the current low-rate environment is replaced by a more volatile environment, which could increase exposure to reduced revenues from tighter margins.
Despite recent optimism resulting from stabilization in the housing sector, unemployment data and credit quality improvement, Trustmark does not assume that the uncertain conditions in the economy will improve significantly in the near future. A further weakened economy could affect Trustmark in a variety of substantial and unpredictable ways. In particular, Trustmark may face the following risks in connection with these events:
| · | Market developments and the resulting economic pressure on consumers may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause increases in delinquencies and default rates, which, among other effects, could further affect Trustmark’s charge-offs and provision for loan losses. |
| · | Loan performance could experience a significantly extended deterioration or loan default levels could accelerate, foreclosure activity could significantly increase, or Trustmark’s assets (including loans and investment securities) could materially decline in value, any one of which, or any combination of more than one of which, could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations. |
| · | Management’s ability to measure the fair value of Trustmark’s assets could be adversely affected by market disruptions that have made valuation of assets even more difficult and subjective. If Management determines that a significant portion of its assets have values that are significantly below their recorded carrying value, Trustmark could recognize a material charge to earnings in the quarter during which such determination was made, Trustmark’s capital ratios would be adversely affected by any such change, and a rating agency might downgrade Trustmark’s credit rating or put Trustmark on credit watch. |
| · |
The price per barrel of crude oil has declined from $98 as of December 31, 2013, to approximately $53 as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, energy-related LHFI represented approximately 3.0% of Trustmark’s total LHFI portfolio, and these loans had no adversely rated credits and were all currently performing. Nonetheless, if oil prices remain at low levels for an extended period, Trustmark could experience weaker energy-related loan demand or increased losses within its energy-related LHFI portfolio.
|
It is difficult to predict the extent to which these challenging economic conditions will persist or whether recent progress in the economic recovery will instead shift to the potential for further decline. If the economy does weaken in the future, it is uncertain how Trustmark’s business would be affected and whether Trustmark would be able successfully to mitigate any such effects on its business. Accordingly, these factors in the U.S. (and, indirectly, global) economy could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s financial condition and results of operations.
Trustmark is subject to lending risk, which could impact the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and results of operations.
There are inherent risks associated with Trustmark’s lending activities. While the housing and real estate markets have shown continued improvement, they remain at depressed levels. If trends in the housing and real estate markets were to revert or further decline below recession levels, Trustmark may experience higher than normal delinquencies and credit losses. Moreover, if the U.S. economy returns to a recessionary state, Management expects that it could severely affect economic conditions in Trustmark’s market areas and that Trustmark could experience significantly higher delinquencies and credit losses. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review Trustmark’s allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further charge-offs, based on judgments different from those of Management. As a result, Trustmark may elect, or be required to, to make further increases in its provision for loan losses in the future, particularly if economic conditions deteriorate.
Trustmark is subject to liquidity risk, which could disrupt its ability to meet its financial obligations.
Liquidity refers to Trustmark’s 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. Liquidity risk arises whenever the maturities of financial instruments included in assets and liabilities differ or when assets cannot be liquidated at fair market value as needed. Trustmark obtains funding through deposits and various short-term and long-term wholesale borrowings, including federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Federal Reserve Discount Window and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. Any significant restriction or disruption of Trustmark’s ability to obtain funding from these or other sources could have a negative effect on Trustmark’s ability to satisfy its current and future financial obligations, which could materially affect Trustmark’s financial condition.
In addition to the risk that one or more of the funding sources may become constrained due to market conditions unrelated to Trustmark, there is the risk that Trustmark’s credit profile may decline such that one or more of these funding sources becomes partially or wholly unavailable to Trustmark.
Trustmark attempts to quantify such credit event risk by modeling bank specific and systemic scenarios that estimate the liquidity impact. Trustmark estimates such impact by attempting to measure the effect on available unsecured lines of credit, available capacity from secured borrowing sources and securitizable assets. To mitigate such risk, Trustmark maintains available lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the FHLB of Dallas that are secured by loans and investment securities. Management continuously monitors Trustmark’s liquidity position for compliance with internal policies.
Trustmark is subject to extensive government regulation and supervision and possible enforcement and other legal actions.
Trustmark, primarily through TNB and certain non-bank subsidiaries, is subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision, which vests a significant amount of discretion in the various regulatory authorities. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not security holders. These regulations and supervisory guidance affect Trustmark’s lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations, and policies for possible changes. The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in July 2010, instituted major changes to the banking and financial institutions regulatory regimes. Other changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies or supervisory guidance, including changes in interpretation or implementation or statutes, regulations, policies and supervisory guidance, could affect Trustmark in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject Trustmark to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products Trustmark may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations, policies or supervisory guidance could result in enforcement and other legal actions by Federal or state authorities, including criminal and civil penalties, the loss of FDIC insurance, the revocation of a banking charter, other sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage. In this regard, government authorities, including bank regulatory agencies, are pursuing aggressive enforcement agendas with respect to compliance and other legal matters involving financial activities, which heightens the risks associated with actual and perceived compliance failures. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
See the section captioned “Supervision and Regulation” included in Part I. Item 1. - Business, located elsewhere in this report.
Trustmark will be subject to increasingly stringent capital and liquidity requirements.
On September 12, 2010, the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, announced agreement on the calibration and phase-in arrangements for a strengthened set of capital requirements, known as Basel III. The FRB, OCC, and FDIC issued final rules establishing regulatory capital requirements consistent with Basel III and implementing the capital requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act in July 2013. The new capital rules require, among other things, a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, net of regulatory deductions, and establish a capital conservation buffer of an additional 2.5% of common equity to risk-weighted assets above the regulatory minimum capital requirement, effectively establishing a minimum common equity Tier 1 ratio of 7%. In addition, the new capital rules increase the minimum Tier 1 capital requirement from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets. The new capital rules also specify that a bank with a capital conservation buffer that does not exceed 2.5% shall face limitations on capital distributions and bonus payments to executives.
The new capital rules also include stringent criteria for capital instruments to qualify as Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital. For instance, the rules effectively disallow newly-issued trust preferred securities to be a component of a holding company’s Tier 1 capital. Trustmark will continue to utilize $60.0 million in trust preferred securities issued by the Trust as Tier 1 capital up to the regulatory limit, as permitted by the grandfather provision in the new capital rules.
Trustmark and TNB were required to comply with the new capital rules beginning January 1, 2015. Certain of the requirements of the capital rules, such as the capital conservation buffer, will be phased in until January 1, 2019. Once the new capital requirements are fully phased in, it is expected that Trustmark and TNB will be required to hold a greater amount of capital and a greater amount of common equity than they were previously required to hold. Management does not expect the new capital rules to have a significant impact on Trustmark or TNB; however, Management will continue to evaluate the impact of the capital rules on Trustmark and TNB as they are phased in.
Unfavorable results from ongoing stress test analyses conducted on Trustmark and TNB may adversely affect Trustmark’s ability to approve, declare and pay dividends to shareholders or compete for new business opportunities.
Under final rules associated with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, the FRB and OCC require Trustmark and TNB to perform periodic stress tests and analysis to evaluate its ability to absorb losses in various economic and financial scenarios. This stress test analysis uses three economic and financial scenarios generated by the FRB and OCC, including baseline, adverse and severely adverse scenarios. Trustmark and TNB are required to make certain assumptions in modeling future performance and must support these assumptions through statistical analysis and observed market behavior where applicable. Results of the stress tests and analysis performed by Trustmark and TNB must be submitted to the FRB and the OCC annually to be used in the regulators’ analysis.
The outcome of the FRB’s analysis of Trustmark’s projected performance (including capital, earnings and balance sheet changes) could hinder Trustmark’s ability to pay cash dividends to shareholders at levels consistent with prior practice, or at all. The results of the stress tests could also impact future decision making regarding future acquisitions by Trustmark as well as Trustmark’s ability to effectively compete for new business opportunities.
Additionally, the FRB and OCC may require Trustmark and TNB to raise additional capital or take other actions, or may impose restrictions on its business, based on the results of the stress tests, including requiring revisions or changes to capital plans. Trustmark and TNB may not be able to raise additional capital if required to do so, or may not be able to do so on favorable terms. Any such capital raises, if required, may also be dilutive to existing shareholders.
There may be risks resulting from the extensive use of models in Trustmark’s business.
Trustmark relies on quantitative models to measure risks and to estimate certain financial values. Models may be used in such processes as determining the pricing of various products, assessing potential acquisition opportunities, developing presentations made to market analysts and others, creating loans and extending credit, measuring interest rate and other market risks, predicting losses, assessing capital adequacy, conducting capital stress testing, calculating regulatory capital levels and estimating the fair value of financial instruments and balance sheet items. These models reflect assumptions that may not be accurate, particularly in times of market stress or other unforeseen circumstances. Even if these assumptions are adequate, the models may prove to be inadequate or inaccurate because of other flaws in their design or their implementation. If models for determining interest rate risk and asset-liability management are inadequate, Trustmark may incur increased or unexpected losses upon changes in market interest rates or other market measures. If models for determining probable loan losses are inadequate, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to support future charge-offs. If models to measure the fair value of financial instruments are inadequate, the fair value of such financial instruments may fluctuate unexpectedly or may not accurately reflect what Trustmark could realize upon sale or settlement of such financial instruments. Any such failure in the analytical or forecasting models could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Also, information Trustmark provides to its regulators based on poorly designed or implemented models could be inaccurate or misleading. Certain decisions that the regulators make, including those related to capital distributions and dividends to Trustmark’s shareholders, could be adversely affected due to the regulator’s perception that the quality of Trustmark’s models used to generate the relevant information is insufficient.
Trustmark could be required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets.
When Trustmark acquires a business, a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition is generally allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price that is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. At December 31, 2014, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets were $398.7 million. Under current accounting standards, if Trustmark determines goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, Trustmark would be required to write down the carrying value of these assets. Trustmark’s annual goodwill impairment evaluation performed during the fourth quarter of 2014 indicated no impairment of goodwill for any reporting segment. Management cannot provide assurance, however, that Trustmark will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future. Any impairment charge would have an adverse effect on Trustmark’s shareholders’ equity and financial condition and could cause a decline in Trustmark’s stock price.
Trustmark holds a significant amount of other real estate and may acquire and hold significant additional amounts, which could lead to increased operating expenses and vulnerability to additional declines in real property values.
As business necessitates, Trustmark forecloses on and takes title to real estate serving as collateral for loans. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark held $98.6 million of other real estate, compared to $111.6 million at December 31, 2013. The amount of other real estate held by Trustmark may increase in the future as a result of, among other things, business combinations, increased uncertainties in the housing market or increased levels of credit stress in residential real estate loan portfolios. Increased other real estate balances could lead to greater expenses as Trustmark incurs costs to manage, maintain and dispose of real properties. As a result, Trustmark’s earnings could be negatively affected by various expenses associated with other real estate owned, including personnel costs, insurance and taxes, completion and repair costs, valuation adjustments and other expenses associated with real property ownership, as well as by the funding costs associated with other real estate assets. The expenses associated with holding a significant amount of other real estate could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s results of operations or financial condition.
Declines in asset values may result in impairment charges and adversely affect the value of Trustmark’s investments.
Trustmark maintains an investment portfolio that includes, among other asset classes, obligations of states and municipalities, agency debt securities and agency mortgage-related securities. The market value of investments in Trustmark’s investment portfolio may be affected by factors other than interest rates or the underlying performance of the issuer of the securities, such as ratings downgrades, adverse changes in the business climate and a lack of pricing information or liquidity in the secondary market for certain investment securities. In addition, government involvement or intervention in the financial markets or the lack thereof or market perceptions regarding the existence or absence of such activities could affect the market and the market prices for these securities.
On a quarterly basis, Trustmark evaluates investments and other assets for impairment indicators. As of December 31, 2014, total gross unrealized losses on temporarily impaired securities totaled $14.6 million. Trustmark may be required to record impairment charges if these investments suffer a decline in value that is other-than-temporary. If it is determined that a significant impairment has occurred, Trustmark would be required to charge against earnings the credit-related portion of the other-than-temporary impairment, which could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in the period in which a write-off, if any, occurs.
If Trustmark is required to repurchase a larger number of mortgage loans that it had previously sold, such repurchases could negatively affect earnings.
One of Trustmark’s primary business operations is mortgage banking under which residential mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market under agreements that contain representations and warranties related to, among other things, the origination and characteristics of the mortgage loans. Trustmark may be required 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, loans that do not meet investor guidelines, loans in which the appraisal does not support the value and/or loans obtained through fraud by the borrowers or other third parties. Generally, putback requests may be made until the loan is paid in full. However, mortgage loans delivered to FNMA and FHLMC on or after January 1, 2013 are subject to the Lending and Selling Representations and Warranties Framework updated in May 2014, which provides certain instances in which FNMA and FHLMC will not exercise their remedies, including a putback request, for breaches of certain selling representations and warranties, such as payment history and quality control review.
Total mortgage loan servicing putback expense incurred by Trustmark in 2014 was $600 thousand, a decrease of $900 thousand when compared to 2013. During November 2013, Trustmark finalized its agreement with FNMA (the “Resolution Agreement”) to resolve its existing and future repurchase and make whole obligations (collectively “Repurchase Obligations”) related to mortgage loans originated between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2008 and delivered to FNMA. Under the terms of the Resolution Agreement, Trustmark paid FNMA approximately $3.6 million with respect to the Repurchase Obligations. Trustmark believes that it was in its best interests to execute the Resolution Agreement in order to bring finality to the loss reimbursement exposure with FNMA for these years and reduce the resources spent on individual file reviews and defending loss reimbursement requests. The Repurchase Obligations were covered by Trustmark’s existing reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expenses. The reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expenses for FNMA loans in periods not covered by the Resolution Agreement and to other entities totaled $1.2 million at December 31, 2014, which represented 0.02% of total loans serviced for others, compared to $1.1 million, or 0.02%, at December 31, 2013. If the level of investor repurchase demands increases in the future, this could significantly increase costs and have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s results of operations.
Trustmark operates in a highly competitive financial services industry.
Trustmark faces substantial competition in all areas of its operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. Such competitors primarily include national and regional banks, as well as community banks within the various markets in which Trustmark operates. At this time, major international banks do not compete directly with Trustmark in its markets, although they may do so in the future. Trustmark also faces competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loans, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, factoring companies and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation.
Some of Trustmark’s competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, due to their size, many of Trustmark’s larger competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than Trustmark.
Trustmark’s ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including: the ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer relationships based on top quality service, high ethical standards and safe, sound assets; the ability to continue to expand Trustmark’s market position through organic growth and acquisitions; the scope, relevance and pricing of products and services offered to meet customer needs and demands; the rate at which Trustmark introduces new products and services relative to its competitors; and industry and general economic trends. Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken Trustmark’s competitive position, which could adversely affect Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations.
Potential acquisitions by Trustmark may disrupt Trustmark’s business and dilute shareholder value.
Trustmark seeks merger or acquisition partners that are culturally similar and have experienced management and possess either significant market presence or have potential for improved profitability through financial management, economies of scale or expanded services, and Trustmark will likely continue to seek to acquire such businesses in the future. Acquiring other banks, businesses, or branches involves various risks commonly associated with acquisitions, including: potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the target company; exposure to potential asset quality issues of the target company; difficulty and expense of integrating the operations and personnel of the target company; potential disruption to Trustmark’s business; potential diversion of Trustmark’s Management’s time and attention; the possible loss of key employees and customers of the target company; difficulty in estimating the value of the target company and potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company. Acquisitions may involve the payment of a premium over book and market values, and, therefore, some dilution of Trustmark’s tangible book value and net income per share of common stock may occur in connection with any future transaction. Furthermore, failure to realize the expected revenue projections, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence, and/or other projected benefits from an acquisition could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations.
The acquisition of an insured depository institution that fails could significantly adversely affect an affiliated insured depository institution. Under cross-guarantee provisions of the FDI Act, the FDIC may recoup losses to the DIF by assessing a claim against insured depository institutions under common control for losses caused by the failure of an affiliated insured depository institution. See the section captioned “Supervision and Regulation—Payment of Dividends and Other Restrictions” included in Part I. Item 1. - Business, located elsewhere in this report.
The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect Trustmark.
Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. As a result, defaults by, or questions or rumors about, one or more financial services institutions or the financial services industry in general, could lead to market-wide liquidity problems, defaults and losses by Trustmark and by other institutions. Trustmark has exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks, mutual funds, and other institutional clients. Many of these transactions expose Trustmark to credit risk in the event of default of its counterparty or client. In addition, Trustmark’s credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral it holds cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the credit or derivative exposure owed to Trustmark. Losses related to these credit risks could materially and adversely affect Trustmark’s results of operations.
Trustmark may experience disruptions of its operating systems or breaches in its information system security.
Trustmark is dependent upon communications and information systems to conduct business as such systems are used to manage virtually all aspects of Trustmark’s business. Trustmark’s operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information within its computer systems and networks. Trustmark has taken protective measures, which are continuously monitored and modified as warranted; however, Trustmark’s computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses or other malicious codes and cyber-attacks that could affect their information system security. If one or more of these events were to occur, Trustmark’s or its customers’ confidential and other information would be jeopardized, or such an event could cause interruptions or malfunctions in Trustmark’s or its customers’ or counterparties’ operations. Trustmark may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify its protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures in its computer systems and networks, and Trustmark may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered through any insurance maintained by Trustmark. Any such losses, which may be difficult to detect, could adversely affect Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the occurrence of such a loss could expose Trustmark to reputational risk, the loss of customer business and additional regulatory scrutiny.
Security breaches in Trustmark’s internet and mobile banking activities could further expose Trustmark to possible liability and reputational risk. Any compromise in security could deter customers from using Trustmark’s internet and mobile banking services that involve the transmission of confidential information. Trustmark relies on standard internet security systems to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of data. These precautions may not protect Trustmark’s systems from compromise or breaches of security, which could result in significant legal liability and significant damage to Trustmark’s reputation and business.
Trustmark relies upon certain third-party vendors to provide products and services necessary to maintain day-to-day operations. Accordingly, Trustmark’s operations are exposed to the risk that these vendors might not perform in accordance with applicable contractual arrangements or service level agreements or that the security of the third-party vendors’ computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to compromises that could impact information system security. Trustmark maintains a system of policies and procedures designed to monitor vendor risks. While Trustmark believes these policies and procedures mitigate risk, the failure of an external vendor to perform in accordance with applicable contractual arrangements or service level agreements or any compromise in the security of an external vendor’s information systems could be disruptive to Trustmark’s operations, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Trustmark must utilize new technologies to deliver its products and services.
In order to deliver new products and services and to improve the productivity of existing products and services, the banking industry relies on rapidly evolving technologies. Trustmark’s ability to effectively utilize new technologies to address customer needs and create operating efficiencies could materially affect future prospects. Management cannot provide any assurances that Trustmark will be successful in utilizing such new technologies. Incorporation of new products and services, such as internet and mobile banking services, may require significant resources and expose Trustmark to additional risks.
Trustmark’s use of third-party service providers and Trustmark’s other ongoing third-party business relationships are subject to increasing regulatory requirements and attention.
Trustmark regularly uses third-party service providers and subcontractors as part of its business. Trustmark also has substantial ongoing business relationships with partners and other third-parties. These types of third-party relationships are subject to increasingly demanding regulatory requirements and attention by regulators, including the FRB, the OCC and the FDIC. The regulators are requiring Trustmark to enhance its due diligence, ongoing monitoring and control over third-party service providers and subcontractors and other ongoing third-party business relationships. Trustmark expects that the regulators will hold Trustmark responsible for deficiencies in its oversight and control of its third-party relationships and in the performance of the parties with which Trustmark has these relationships. As a result, if the regulators conclude that Trustmark has not exercised adequate oversight and control over third-party service providers and subcontractors or other ongoing third-party business relationships or that such third-parties have not performed appropriately, Trustmark could be subject to enforcement actions, including civil monetary penalties or other administrative or judicial penalties or fines as well as requirements for customer remediation.
The stock price of financial institutions, like Trustmark, can be volatile.
The volatility in the stock prices of companies in the financial services industry may make it more difficult for shareholders to resell Trustmark common stock at attractive prices in a timely manner. Trustmark’s stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors, including factors affecting the financial industry as a whole. The factors affecting financial stocks generally and Trustmark’s stock price in particular include:
| · | actual or anticipated variations in earnings; |
| · | changes in analysts’ recommendations or projections; |
| · | operating and stock performance of other companies deemed to be peers; |
| · | perception in the marketplace regarding Trustmark, its competitors and/or the industry as a whole; |
| · | significant acquisitions or business combinations involving Trustmark or its competitors; |
| · | changes in government regulation; |
| · | failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions; and |
| · | volatility affecting the financial markets in general. |
General market fluctuations, the potential for breakdowns on electronic trading or other platforms for executing securities transactions, industry factors and general economic and political conditions could also cause Trustmark’s stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.
Changes in accounting standards may affect how Trustmark reports its financial condition and results of operations.
Trustmark’s accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how Trustmark records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) changes the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of Trustmark’s financial statements. The ongoing economic recession has resulted in increased scrutiny of accounting standards by regulators and legislators, particularly as they relate to fair value accounting principles. In addition, ongoing efforts to achieve convergence between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards may result in changes to GAAP. Any such changes can be difficult to predict and can materially affect how Trustmark records and reports its financial condition or results of operations.
Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, could have a significant negative impact on Trustmark’s business.
Many of Trustmark’s loans are secured by property or are made to businesses in or near the Gulf Coast regions of Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Texas which are often in the path of seasonal hurricanes. Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, could have a significant negative impact on the stability of Trustmark’s deposit base, the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and the value of collateral securing loans, and could cause Trustmark to incur material additional expenses. Although Management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of a natural disaster, especially if any applicable insurance coverage is not adequate to enable Trustmark’s borrowers to recover from the effects of the event, could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations.
None
Trustmark’s principal offices are housed in its complex located in downtown Jackson, Mississippi and owned by TNB. Approximately 233,000 square feet, or 88%, of the available space in the main office building is allocated to bank use with the remainder occupied or available for occupancy by tenants on a lease basis. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark, through TNB, also operated 176 full-service branches, 29 limited-service branches and an ATM network, which included 184 ATMs at on-premise locations and 66 ATMs located at off-premise sites. In addition, Trustmark’s Wealth Management Division utilized one off-site location, the Insurance Division utilized three off-site locations, the Mortgage Banking Group utilized two off-site locations, and the Insurance Division and Mortgage Banking Group together utilized one off-site location. Trustmark leases 78 of its 278 locations with the remainder being owned.
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 TNB’s motion to dismiss. In August 2010, the court authorized and approved the formation of an Official Stanford Investors Committee (“OSIC”) 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 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. In July 2013, all defendants (including TNB) filed motions to dismiss the OSIC’s claims. The court has not yet ruled on TNB’s motion to dismiss the OSIC’s claims.
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.
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.
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 loss in any such case is not probable at this time, and thus no accrual is required under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 450-20, “Loss Contingencies.”
For additional information regarding legal proceedings involving Trustmark and its subsidiaries, see the “Legal Proceedings” section of Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – of this report.

The following provides a narrative discussion and analysis of Trustmark’s 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
2014 was a year of significant accomplishments for Trustmark. Trustmark continued to build upon and expand customer relationships, which was reflected in the growth of its banking, wealth management, and insurance businesses. During 2014, total revenue expanded to $578.5 million, the highest level in Trustmark’s 125-year history. Credit quality continued to improve and was an important contributor to Trustmark’s financial success. Trustmark also continued to make investments in technology designed to increase revenue, improve efficiency and ensure compliance with regulatory mandates. Trustmark’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share. The dividend is payable March 15, 2015, to shareholders of record on March 1, 2015.
At close of business on December 31, 2013, Trustmark consolidated its wholly owned subsidiary Somerville Bank & Trust Company (Somerville) into Trustmark National Bank (TNB). TNB and Somerville were both wholly owned subsidiaries of Trustmark; as such, the merger represented a business reorganization between affiliates under common control. This consolidation has enhanced productivity and efficiency with elimination of duplicate functions and operating systems as well as supported revenue growth with the addition of a broader product line for Somerville’s customers. Trustmark is committed to investments to support profitable revenue growth as well as reengineering and efficiency opportunities to enhance shareholder value.
Financial Highlights
Net income totaled $123.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with $117.1 million for 2013 and $117.3 million for 2012. For 2014, Trustmark’s basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.83 compared with $1.75 for 2013 and $1.81 for 2012. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark reported gross loans, including loans held for sale and acquired loans, of $7.131 billion, total assets of $12.251 billion, total deposits of $9.698 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $1.420 billion. Trustmark’s financial performance for 2014 resulted in a return on average tangible equity of 12.97%, a return on average equity of 8.83% and a return on average assets of 1.03%. These compared with 2013 ratios of 13.09% for return on average tangible equity, 8.75% for return on average equity and 1.02% for return on average assets, while in 2012 the return on average tangible equity was 12.55%, the return on average equity was 9.30% and the return on average assets was 1.20%. Revenue totaled $578.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $562.3 million for 2013 and $516.2 million for 2012. Revenue is defined as net interest income plus noninterest income. See the highlights discussed below as well as the section captioned “Results of Operations” located elsewhere in this report, for information regarding these increases in revenue.
Net income for 2014 increased $6.5 million, or 5.6%, compared to 2013 principally due to a $16.8 million, or 4.3%, increase in net interest income. The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from increases in taxable interest on securities and interest and fees on loans held for sale (LHFS) and loans held for investment (LHFI) of $7.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $4.4 million. The growth in net interest income during the year was partially offset by the $14.6 million increase in the provision for loan losses on LHFI, primarily due to a reduction in the amount of reserves release as compared to 2013. Total noninterest income decreased $717 thousand, or 0.4%, as declines in mortgage banking, net, service charges on deposit accounts and bank card and other fees offset gains in all other categories. The $6.7 million, or 1.6%, decrease in noninterest expense for 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in other noninterest expense as a result of non-routine transaction expenses from the merger with BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. (BancTrust) and settlement of the non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees litigation incurred during 2013 as well as a decline in ORE/foreclosure expense during 2014. Please see the section captioned “Results of Operations” below for a more complete overview of Trustmark’s financial performance for 2014.
Trustmark’s 2014 provision for loan losses, LHFI, totaled $1.2 million, an increase of $14.6 million when compared to a negative provision for loan losses, LHFI of $13.4 million for 2013. The increase in the provision for loan losses, LHFI during 2014 reflects an increase in the amount of established reserves both new and existing impaired LHFI compared to 2013 as well as an increase in the reserve for commercial LHFI portfolio changes and the revised allowance for loan loss methodology for consumer LHFI, which was partially offset by an increase in net recoveries of LHFI, changes in the quantitative and qualitative reserve factors, and improved credit quality. Please see the section captioned “Provision for Loan Losses, LHFI,” for additional information regarding the provision for loan losses, LHFI. At December 31, 2014, nonperforming assets, excluding acquired loans and covered other real estate, totaled $171.9 million, an increase of $75 thousand compared to December 31, 2013. Total nonaccrual LHFI were $79.3 million at December 31, 2014, representing an increase of $14.1 million, or 21.6%, relative to December 31, 2013, principally due to a few substandard credits migrating to nonaccrual status during 2014, which totaled $21.6 million at December 31, 2014. Total net recoveries for 2014 were $2.0 million, compared to total net recoveries of $1.1 million for 2013 and total net charge-offs of $17.5 million for 2012. The percentage of loans, excluding acquired loans, that are 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual LHFI increased in 2014 to 2.12% compared to 2.01% in 2013, which represented a decrease when compared to 3.10% in 2012.
LHFI totaled $6.449 billion at December 31, 2014 compared to $5.799 billion at December 31, 2013, an increase of $650.9 million, or 11.2%. Growth in LHFI was attributable to net increases in all categories of LHFI during 2014. For additional information regarding changes in LHFI and comparative balances by loan category, see the section captioned “LHFI” located elsewhere in this report.
Trustmark has continued to experience improvements in credit quality on LHFI.
As of December 31, 2014, classified LHFI balances decreased $27.3 million, or 12.3%, while criticized LHFI balances decreased $41.0 million, or 15.9%, when compared to balances at December 31, 2013. The volume of classified and criticized LHFI decreased year-over-year primarily as a result of improvement in repayment capacity of borrowers and subsequent upgrade of those credits to a pass category as well as repayment of several credits of significant size.
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 and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances.
Total deposits were $9.698 billion at December 31, 2014, compared with $9.860 billion at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $161.5 million, or 1.6%. Growth in noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $85.1 million, or 3.2%, and was more than offset by a decline in interest-bearing deposits of $246.7 million, or 3.4%, during 2014.
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 Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – located elsewhere in this report.
Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI
For Trustmark’s accounting policy regarding the allowance for loan losses, LHFI, please see Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
set forth in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – located elsewhere in this report.
A significant shift in one or more factors included in the allowance for loan loss methodology 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 the estimates, assumptions or judgments used 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 with respect to that portfolio. Additionally, credit deterioration of specific borrowers due to changes in these factors could cause the internally assigned risk rating to shift to a more severe category. As a result, Trustmark could find that it needs to increase the level of future provisions for possible loan losses with respect to these LHFI. Given the nature of many of these estimates, assumptions and judgments, it is not possible to provide meaningful estimates of the impact of any such potential shifts.
Acquired Loans
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.
For acquired impaired loans, Trustmark (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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” 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 undiscounted 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. Under the effective yield method, the accretable yield is recorded as an accretion of interest income over the life of the loan at the market interest rate.
As required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30, Trustmark 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 loan losses, acquired loans and the establishment of an allowance for loan losses, acquired loans. 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, Trustmark will reduce any remaining allowance for loan losses, acquired loans 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 impaired loans as well as the accretable yield.
Covered Loans
Loans acquired in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-assisted transaction and covered under loss-share agreements are referred to as “covered loans” and are reported separately in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements. 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
Trustmark 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.” A 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 Trustmark expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted into noninterest income over the life of the FDIC indemnification asset.
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 flows of the covered loans and covered other real estate over those expected reduce the FDIC indemnification asset, and decreases in the cash flows 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. For additional information regarding Trustmark’s accounting policy for a FDIC indemnification asset, please see
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
set forth in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – located elsewhere in this report.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Trustmark recognizes as assets the rights to service mortgage loans based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (MSR) when loans are sold and the associated servicing rights are retained. Trustmark has elected to account for MSR at fair value.
The fair value of MSR is determined 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.
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, 2014, the MSR fair value was approximately $64.4 million. The impact on the MSR fair value of a 10% adverse change in prepayment speeds or a 100 basis point increase in discount rates at December 31, 2014, would be a decline in fair value of approximately $2.4 million and $2.0 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 economically hedges changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates. 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 Part II. 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, 2014 totaled $321.1 million for the General Banking Division and $44.4 million for the Insurance Division, a consolidated total of $365.5 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 $33.2 million at December 31, 2014, 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 Divisions as of October 1, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, which indicated that no impairment charge was required. The impairment test for the General Banking Division utilized valuations based on comparable deal values for financial institutions while the test for the Insurance Division 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).
Other Real Estate
Other real estate 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. Valuation adjustments required at foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. 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 other real estate specific reserve or to noninterest expense 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 in
ORE/Foreclosure expense
and are mostly offset by other 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
ORE/Foreclosure expense
with a corresponding charge to other 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, BancTrust Pension Plan and Supplemental Retirement Plans) 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, Trustmark’s Board of Directors voted to freeze Capital Accumulation Plan benefits effective May 15, 2009. Associates have not earned additional benefits, except for interest as required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, since the plan was frozen. Associates will retain their previously earned pension benefits. At December 31, 2014, the pension plan census totaled 2,335 current and former associates. The BancTrust Pension Plan terminated on April 15, 2014 and all participants were paid out by December 31, 2014. |
| · | Discount Rate . The discount rate utilized in determining the present value of the future benefit obligation is currently 3.57% (as compared to 4.30% at December 31, 2013). 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, 2014). 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 $629 thousand and $687 thousand, 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 and BancTrust Pension Plan, the pre-tax expected rate of return on the plan assets used in 2014 was 7.50% and 2.00%, respectively, versus 7.50% for both plans in 2013. This expected rate of return is dependent upon the asset allocation decisions made with respect to plan assets. A lower rate of return was assumed for the BancTrust Pension Plan since the assets were moved into more conservative investments in anticipation of complete distribution of the plan assets by the end of 2014. 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 and BancTrust Pension Plan, holding all other actuarial assumptions constant, the pension cost would decrease or increase by approximately $731 thousand. |
| · | Recognition of Actual Asset Returns. Trustmark utilizes the provisions 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, “Contingencies,” 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 IRS 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
In early July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) jointly promulgated final rules revising regulatory capital requirements 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 on Banking Supervision. The new capital rules adopt a new common equity Tier 1 requirement, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio, introduce a new capital conservation buffer, adopt new risk-weight calculation methods for the “standardized” denominator and revise the regulatory components and calculations of capital. Trustmark and TNB were required to comply with the new capital rules beginning January 1, 2015. Certain of the requirements of the capital rules, such as the capital conservation buffer, will be phased in until January 1, 2019. Once the new capital requirements are fully phased in, it is expected that Trustmark and TNB will be required to hold a greater amount of capital and a greater amount of common equity than they were previously required to hold. Management does not expect the new capital rules to have a significant impact on Trustmark or TNB; however, Management will continue to evaluate the impact of the capital rules on Trustmark and TNB as they are phased in. For additional information regarding the new capital rules, see the section captioned “Capital Adequacy” included in Part I. Item 1. – Business – included elsewhere in this report.
On January 18, 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), FRB, FDIC, OCC, Federal Housing Finance Agency, and National Credit Union Administration, issued a final rule implementing amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) made by the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule imposes heightened appraisal requirements for higher-priced mortgage loans and became mandatory on January 18, 2014. After notice and comment, the six agencies subsequently issued a final rule on December 12, 2013, that created exemptions from these appraisal requirements for loans of $25,000 or less, certain “streamlined” refinancings, and certain loans secured by manufactured housing. The final rule, as revised, is intended to provide creditors with some relief from the mortgage appraisal requirements. Trustmark has implemented the appropriate policies, procedures, and training to ensure compliance with these new rules. Trustmark’s operations and consolidated financial statements were not impacted by the implementation of these new rules.
In October 2012, the FRB, FDIC and OCC published final rules implementing the company-run stress test requirements mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rules require institutions with average total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion to conduct an annual company-run stress test using data as of September 30 of each year under one base and at least two stress scenarios as provided by the agencies. Stress test results must be provided to the agencies by March 31 of the following year. Trustmark has been subject to these stress test requirements since September 2014, and is required to make its first filing with regulators in March 2015. On October 17, 2014, the FRB issued a notice of final rulemaking to switch the testing dates to match the calendar year so that stress tests would use year-end data and capital planning would follow for the next calendar year. The FRB’s final rule, beginning with the January 1, 2016 annual stress test cycle, requires institutions with total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion to conduct an annual company-run stress test using data as of December 31 of the preceding year, provide results to the agencies by July 31 of each year and publicly disclose results in October of each year. Trustmark anticipates that the capital ratios, as reflected in the stress test calculations under the required stress test scenarios, will be an important factor considered by the agencies in evaluating the capital adequacy of Trustmark and TNB and whether proposed payments of dividends or stock repurchases are consistent with prudential expectations.

Bargain Purchase Gain on Acquisition
Trustmark recorded a bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million as a result of the Bay Bank & Trust Company (Bay Bank) merger for the year ended December 31, 2012. Trustmark initially recorded a bargain purchase gain of $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 and subsequently increased the bargain purchase gain by $881 thousand during the second quarter of 2012 as the fair values associated with the Bay Bank merger 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.
Non-routine Transaction Expenses on Acquisition
Included in noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 were non-routine BancTrust transaction expenses totaling approximately $9.4 million (change in control and severance expense of $1.4 million included in salaries and benefits; professional fees, contract termination and other expenses of $7.9 million included in other expense).
Included in noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 were non-routine Bay Bank transaction expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million (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).
Non-routine Defined Benefit Plan Settlement Expense
Included in noninterest expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $905 thousand and $2.2 million, respectively, related to the lump sum settlement of certain benefits in the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715-30, “Defined Benefit Plans – Pension.” See Note 15 – Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – located elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding Trustmark’s qualified defined benefit pension plans.
Non-routine Litigation Expense
Included in noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 were non-routine litigation expenses totaling $4.0 million related to the settlement of class-action lawsuits regarding Trustmark’s overdraft fees and insufficient funds on debit card purchases and ATM withdrawals. See the section captioned “Legal Proceedings” in Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – located elsewhere in this report for additional detail regarding this settlement.
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 for the periods presented ($ in thousands, except share data):

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 is computed by dividing fully taxable equivalent (FTE) 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 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.
Net interest income-FTE during 2014 increased $17.8 million, or 4.4%, when compared with 2013. The net interest margin increased 2 basis points to 4.03% during 2014 when compared with 2013. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily a result of $2.7 million of yield maintenance payments on prepaid securities received during the year, which are included in net interest income, and lower deposit and short-term borrowing costs, which were partially offset by a downward repricing of LHFI in response to increased competitive pricing pressures. The net interest margin excluding acquired loans, which equals the reported net interest income-FTE excluding interest and fees on acquired loans, as a percentage of average earning assets excluding average acquired loans, for 2014 was 3.52%, a decrease of 3 basis points when compared to 2013.
Average interest-earning assets for 2014 were $10.445 billion compared to $10.052 billion for 2013, an increase of $393.2 million, or 3.9%. The growth in average earning assets was primarily due to an increase in average loans (LHFS and LHFI) of $472.8 million, or 8.2%, and average securities-taxable of $98.1 million, or 3.1%, during 2014. The increase in average total loans (LHFS and LHFI) was primarily attributable to net increases in all categories of the LHFI portfolio. See the section captioned “LHFI” elsewhere in this discussion for further analysis of the changes in the LHFI portfolio. The increase in average securities-taxable was primarily attributable to purchases of U.S Government-sponsored agency (GSE) guaranteed securities, partially offset by maturities and pay-downs of the loans underlying these securities, as well as inclusion of the securities acquired in the BancTrust merger for the entire twelve months of 2014.
During 2014, interest on securities-taxable increased $7.3 million, or 10.1%, as the yield on taxable securities increased 15 basis points to 2.42% when compared with 2013 due to re-investments in higher yielding securities and $2.7 million of yield maintenance payments on prepaid securities. During 2014, interest and fees on LHFS and LHFI-FTE increased $6.2 million, or 2.3%, while the yield on loans (LHFS and LHFI) fell 25 basis points to 4.43% when compared to 2013 due to downward repricing of LHFI due to the current interest rate environment and increased competitive pressures. During 2014, interest and fees on acquired loans increased $400 thousand, or 0.5%, while the yield on acquired loans increased to 11.52% compared to 9.11% during the same time period in 2013 due principally to increases in accretion income and recoveries on loan pay-offs of BancTrust acquired loans, which were partially offset by declines in accretion income and recoveries on loans acquired in the April 2011 acquisition of Heritage Banking Group (Heritage) and the March 2012 merger with Bay Bank. As a result of these factors, interest income-FTE increased $13.5 million, or 3.1%, when 2014 is compared with 2013. The impact of these changes is also illustrated by the decline in the yield on total earning assets, which decreased from 4.27% in 2013 to 4.24% in 2014, a decrease of 3 basis points.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for 2014 totaled $7.785 billion compared to $7.575 billion for 2013, an increase of $210.7 million, or 2.8%. During 2014, average interest-bearing deposits decreased $1.0 million as growth in savings and interest-bearing demand deposits was more than offset by declines in certificates of deposits. The combination of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings increased by $211.8 million, or 41.0%, during 2014, which was primarily attributable to increased balances of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements as well as short-term FHLB advances obtained from the FHLB of Dallas during the second half of 2014 as Trustmark chose to utilize these less costly sources of funding. Total interest expense for 2014 decreased $4.3 million, or 16.7%, when compared with 2013, principally due to the $4.4 million, or 22.3%, decrease in interest expense on deposit accounts as a result of a reduction in rates paid on certificates of deposit. As a result of these factors, the overall yield on interest-bearing liabilities declined 6 basis points to 0.28% when 2014 is compared with 2013.
Trustmark’s merger with BancTrust contributed $60.9 million to net interest income during 2013, and provided growth in both average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities of $1.141 billion and $1.170 billion, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2012, Trustmark (through TNB) completed its merger with Bay Bank. This merger contributed $5.6 million to net interest income during 2012, and provided 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. Amounts relating to these acquisitions are included in the prior year balances shown in the following three paragraphs.
Net interest income-FTE during 2013 increased $47.9 million, or 13.5%, when compared with 2012. Notwithstanding the contribution to the net interest margin of the acquired loans, the net interest margin decreased 8 basis points to 4.01% during 2013 when compared with 2012. The decline in the net interest margin during 2013 was primarily a result of a downward repricing of fixed rate assets and changes to Trustmark’s asset mix due to growth in lower yielding investment securities. The impact of this was partially offset by acquired loans due to the BancTrust merger, approximately $23.5 million of recoveries on acquired loans, which are included in the net interest margin, as well as lower deposit costs.
Average interest-earning assets for 2013 were $10.052 billion compared with $8.699 billion for 2012, an increase of $1.353 billion. The growth in average interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase in average total securities and average acquired noncovered loans of $791.2 million and $724.2 million, respectively, during 2013. The increase in securities and acquired noncovered loans, which resulted primarily from the merger with BancTrust, was partially offset by a decrease in average loans (LHFS and LHFI) of $140.6 million, or 2.4%, during 2013. The decrease in average loans is primarily attributable to the decrease in LHFS of $108.8 million, or 42.2%, due to declines in mortgage loan production as interest rates rise. During 2013, interest on securities-taxable increased $5.9 million, or 8.8%, as a result of the increase in average total securities; however, the yield on taxable securities decreased 50 basis points when compared with 2012 due to run-off of higher yielding securities replaced at lower yields. During 2013, interest and fees on LHFS and LHFI-FTE decreased $20.7 million, or 7.1%, due to lower average loan balances while the yield on loans (LHFS and LHFI) fell to 4.68% compared to 4.92% during 2012. During 2013, interest and fees on acquired loans increased $58.2 million while the yield on acquired loans fell to 9.11% compared to 13.00% during 2012. The increase in interest and fees on acquired loans and the decrease in the yield on acquired loans were a result of the significant increase in average acquired loans due to the merger with BancTrust, which had a lower yield than the acquired loans at December 31, 2012, and approximately $23.5 million of recoveries of acquired loans. As a result of these factors, interest income-FTE increased $43.1 million, or 11.2%, when 2013 is compared with 2012. The impact of these changes is also illustrated by the decline in the yield on total earning assets, which fell from 4.44% in 2012 to 4.27% in 2013, a decrease of 17 basis points.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for 2013 totaled $7.575 billion compared with $6.418 billion for 2012, an increase of $1.157 billion, or 18.0%. During 2013, average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.206 billion, or 20.6%, while the combination of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings decreased by $49.1 million, or 8.7%. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was primarily attributable to the merger with BancTrust. The decline in average interest-bearing liabilities, excluding interest-bearing deposits, was primarily attributable to a decline in federal funds purchased and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) optional repurchase loans, which was partially offset by an increase in securities sold under repurchase agreements and approximately $18.7 million of average other borrowings from the BancTrust merger. The overall yield on interest-bearing liabilities declined 14 basis points during 2013 when compared with 2012, primarily due to a reduction in the costs of certificates of deposit and interest checking accounts. As a result of these factors, total interest expense for 2013 decreased $4.8 million, or 15.7%, when compared with 2012.

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 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. The provision for loan losses, LHFI, for 2014 totaled 0.02% of average LHFI, compared with -0.23% of average LHFI in 2013 and 0.11% of average LHFI in 2012. The increase in the provision during 2014 was primarily a result of an increase in the amount of established reserves for both new and existing impaired LHFI compared to 2013, changes in the quantitative and qualitative reserve factors and other changes in the LHFI portfolio, such as balance changes due to pay-offs and risk rate changes. Reduced loan provisioning during 2013 was a result of decreased levels of criticized LHFI, a net recovery position, adequate reserves established in prior years for both new and existing impaired LHFI, net loan risk rate upgrades and updated quantitative and qualitative reserve factors.
During the second quarter of 2014, Trustmark revised the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for consumer LHFI to incorporate the use of consumer credit bureau scores which reflects the customer’s historical willingness and ability to service their debt. The implementation of this consumer qualitative factor will allow Trustmark to better monitor shifts in risk that are represented in the retail portfolio and ensure that it is reflective in the allowance for loan loss calculation. An additional provision of approximately $1.4 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of this revision to the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for consumer LHFI. During the third quarter 2014, Trustmark revised the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI to incorporate an additional reserve component for commercial nonaccrual loans under $500 thousand. A LHFI is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Trustmark will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The implementation of this commercial qualitative factor will allow Trustmark to address additional credit risk and loss potential due to inadequate source of repayment and collateral for commercial nonaccrual LHFI below the $500 thousand threshold for a formal analysis. For such loans, it is currently unlikely that full repayment of both principal and interest will be realized. An additional provision of approximately $822 thousand was recorded in the third quarter of 2014 as result of this revision to the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI. The provision for loan losses, LHFI for 2013 included an additional provision of approximately $1.6 million as a result of the revision to the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI. Trustmark incorporated a loan facility risk component to the existing qualitative risk valuation allowance for commercial LHFI. For additional information on the changes to the allowance for loan loss methodology for LHFI, please see Note 5 - LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI included in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – 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 sections captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI” and “Nonperforming Assets, Excluding Acquired Loans and Covered Other Real Estate” elsewhere in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses, LHFI.
Provision for Loan Losses, Acquired Loans
The provision for loan losses, acquired loans is 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 accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30. The provision for loan losses, acquired loans for 2014 increased $132 thousand when compared to an increase of $511 thousand during 2013. The increase in the provision for loan losses, acquired loans during 2014 was primarily due to increases in the provision for loan losses, acquired loans for loans acquired from Bay Bank and Heritage, which was partially offset by declines in the provision for loan losses, acquired loans for loans acquired from BancTrust as a result of changes in expectations based on the periodic re-estimations performed during the year. The increase in the provision for loan losses, acquired loans during 2013 was primarily due to the provision for loan losses, acquired loans for loans acquired from BancTrust, which was partially offset by declines in the provision for loan losses, acquired loans for loans acquired from Bay Bank and Heritage as a result of changes in expectations based on the periodic re-estimations performed during the year.

The decrease in noninterest income during 2014 when compared to 2013 was primarily the result of declines in mortgage banking revenues due principally to lower gains on secondary marketing loan sales resulting from lower spreads and volumes, declines in bank card and other fees resulting from lower interchange income and declines in service charges on deposit accounts resulting from lower non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees. These declines were partially offset by growth in other noninterest income resulting from increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies and decreases in the net reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset, growth in wealth management revenues due primarily to trust management fees, brokerage services income and fixed annuity income and growth in insurance commissions principally due to increases in commissions on group health and commercial property and casualty policies.
The decline in noninterest income during 2013 was primarily the result of declines in mortgage banking revenues due principally to lower gains on secondary marketing loan sales resulting from lower spreads and volumes, decreases in the FDIC indemnification asset due principally to increased recoveries on acquired covered loans resulting from loan pay-offs, and an increase in partnership amortization related to additional tax credit investments. For further analysis of Trustmark’s insurance commissions and wealth management income, please see the section captioned “Segment Information” located elsewhere in this report.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $2.9 million when comparing 2014 with 2013, primarily due to declines in non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees on consumer demand deposit accounts. The declines in the non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees primarily resulted from a decrease in the number of occurrences of non-sufficient funds and overdrafts as Trustmark made enhancements to provide customers with access to information regarding pending debit card signature transactions and extended the hours customers are capable of making deposits at Trustmark ATMs.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.2 million when 2013 is compared to 2012. BancTrust contributed approximately $4.7 million of service charges on deposit accounts for 2013. Service charges on deposit accounts, excluding BancTrust, during 2013 totaled $46.9 million, a decrease of $3.5 million from the same time period in 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in non-sufficient funds/overdraft fees, excluding BancTrust, of approximately $2.8 million resulting from the modification to the processing sequence component of Trustmark’s overdraft programs, which became effective on October 1, 2012.
Bank Card and Other Fees
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. Bank card and other fees for 2014 decreased $3.0 million when compared to 2013, which was
primarily the result of declines in interchange income and the fair value of Trustmark’s proprietary position in interest rate swaps entered into with qualified commercial borrowing customers, which was partially offset by growth in ATM transaction income. See the section captioned “Derivatives” elsewhere in this discussion for additional information related to the derivative products offered to qualified commercial borrowing customers.
Bank card and other fees for 2013 increased $5.5 million when compared to 2012. BancTrust contributed approximately $1.5 million of bank card and other fees for 2013. Excluding BancTrust, bank card and other fees increased $4.0 million during 2013. This increase was
primarily the result of growth in interchange revenue and fees earned on other bank products and services.
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, which limited the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction to the sum of 21 cents per transaction and five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. In addition, the FRB also approved a final rule on July 27, 2012 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 rule. The provisions regarding debit card interchange fees became effective October 1, 2011, and the fraud prevention adjustment became effective October 1, 2012. For additional information on the final rules and recent developments regarding debit card interchange fees, please see the section captioned “State Laws and Other Federal Oversight” included in
Part I. Item 1. – Business – included elsewhere in this report
.
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, 2013, the annual measurement date, Trustmark had assets greater than $10.0 billion; and, therefore, was required to comply with the debit card interchange fee standards by July 1, 2014. Trustmark’s noninterest income declined $5.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2014 as a result of the FRB final rule. Management has identified a number of strategic priorities, such as process improvement and expense management, that when combined with current fee improvement options being evaluated within various areas of Trustmark’s retail banking section are expected to offset, in whole or in part, the impact of the FRB final rule.
As previously discussed, Trustmark continued to reduce interest expense through the reduction in rates and volume of certificates of deposits during 2014 as well as the utilization of less costly sources of funding such as fed funds and FHLB advances from the FHLB of Dallas. Trustmark also continued realignment of its branch network during 2014 to enhance productivity and efficiency as well as promote additional revenue growth.

Net revenue from mortgage banking decreased $8.7 million during 2014 principally due to lower gains on secondary marketing sales, which was partially offset by the net
valuation increase in the fair value of LHFS, interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts and growth in mortgage servicing fee income
. Net revenue from mortgage banking decreased $7.5 million during 2013 principally due to lower gains on secondary marketing sales and net
valuation decreases in the fair value of LHFS, interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts,
which was partially offset by the net positive hedge ineffectiveness and growth in mortgage serving fee income.
Mortgage loan production decreased $258.4 million, or 17.8%, during 2014 to total $1.192 billion compared to a decrease of $439.3 million, or 23.3%, during 2013 to total $1.450 billion, reflecting the industry-wide decline in refinance activity following an extended low interest rate environment.
Loans serviced for others totaled $5.636 billion at December 31, 2014, compared with $5.461 billion at December 31, 2013, and $5.158 billion at December 31, 2012.
Representing a significant component of mortgage banking income is gain on the sales of loans, net. The decrease in the gain on sales of loans, net during 2014 and 2013 resulted from declines in the volume of loan sales and lower profit margins from secondary marketing activities due to the tightening of interest rate spreads during the year. Loan sales decreased $444.0 million during 2014 to total $913.5 million compared to a decrease of $458.3 million during 2013 to total $1.358 billion.
During the first quarter of 2013, Trustmark exercised its option to repurchase approximately $57.4 million delinquent loans serviced for the GNMA.
These loans were subsequently sold to a third party under different repurchase provisions. Trustmark retained the servicing for these loans, which are fully guaranteed by FHA/VA. As a result of this repurchase and sale, the loans are no longer carried as LHFS. The transaction resulted in a gain of $534 thousand, which is included in gain on sales of loans, net for 2013. For additional information, please see the section captioned “LHFS” included elsewhere in this report.
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 derivative 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 2014 and 2013, net positive ineffectiveness of the MSR hedge was $3.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, which primarily resulted from
the hedge income produced by a
positively-sloped
yield curve and net option premium, which are both core components of the MSR hedge strategy.
Other mortgage banking income, net includes the net valuation adjustment recognized in income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” for the fair value of LHFS accounted for under the fair value option, the net valuation adjustment recognized in income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” for the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts and income from other miscellaneous mortgage charges. During the fourth quarter of 2014, Trustmark elected to measure all mortgage loans purchased or originated on or after October 1, 2014 which are held for sale under the fair value option permitted by FASB ASC Topic 825. The fair value option election does not apply to GNMA optional repurchase loans. Election of the fair value option allows Trustmark to reduce the accounting volatility that would otherwise result from the asymmetry created by accounting for the financial instruments at the lower of cost or fair value and the derivatives at fair value.
Other mortgage banking income, net increased by $5.6 million during 2014, compared to a decrease of approximately $8.7 million during 2013 and resulted primarily from net valuation adjustments in the fair value of LHFS, interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts during those years. The positive net valuation adjustment in 2014 was the result of positive valuation adjustments to the fair value of LHFS and interest rate lock commitments, partially offset by the negative valuation adjustment to the fair value of forward sale contracts during the period. The negative net valuation adjustment in 2013 was the result of negative valuation adjustments to the fair value of LHFS and interest rate lock commitments, partially offset by the positive valuation adjustment to the fair value of forward sale contracts during the period. See the section captioned “Derivatives” elsewhere in this report for further discussion of the mortgage related derivative instruments.

Other income, net increased $8.6 million during 2014, which was primarily the result of an increase in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $3.6 million, principally due to Trustmark’s $100.0 million investment in bank-owned life insurance in September 2013, and the decrease in the net reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset resulting from loan pay-offs and changes in expected cash flows and loss expectations of acquired covered loans. Other income, net decreased $9.1 million during 2013, which was primarily the result of an increase in partnership amortization of $4.0 million as a result of $44.0 million in contributions tax credit investments by Trustmark during the year as well as a negative year-to-year comparison to the bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million resulting from Trustmark’s acquisition of Bay Bank during the first quarter of 2012. During 2013, Trustmark continued to grow its investments in partnerships that provide income tax credits on a Federal and/or State basis, primarily due to the $50.0 million new market tax credit (NMTC) allocation awarded to Southern Community Capital, LLC (SCC), a subsidiary of TNB, by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund). The increased partnership amortization was more than offset by the income tax credits received which reduced income tax expense. SCC was not awarded a NMTC allocation during 2014.

Trustmark’s noninterest expense for 2014 decreased $6.7 million compared to 2013, while noninterest expense for 2013 increased $71.2 million compared to 2012. The decrease in noninterest expense during 2014 was primarily attributable to decreases in other expense and ORE/foreclosure expense, which was partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits and services and fees. The increase in noninterest expense during 2013 was primarily attributable to BancTrust non-routine merger expenses of $9.4 million, BancTrust operating expenses of $42.5 million for the period from the February 15, 2013 acquisition date through the end of Trustmark’s fiscal year, non-routine litigation expense of $4.0 million relating to the settlement of the class action lawsuits regarding Trustmark’s overdraft fees for insufficient funds, and non-routine defined benefit plan settlement expense of $2.2 million for the lump sum settlement of certain benefits to the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan. Excluding business combinations and non-routine expenses, noninterest expense for 2013 increased $15.2 million, or 4.5%, when compared to 2012. The increase in noninterest expense, excluding business combinations and non-routine expenses, during 2013 was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, services and fees, and ORE/foreclosure expense. Management considers disciplined expense management a key area of focus in the support of improving shareholder value.
Salaries and Employee Benefits
Salaries and employee benefits, the largest category of noninterest expense, increased $5.0 million during 2014, which primarily reflects salaries and employee benefits attributable to the BancTrust operations for a full twelve months, modest general merit increases, higher commissions expense resulting from improved performance in Trustmark’s Insurance and Wealth Management Divisions, and increases in general performance incentives expense. These increases in salaries and employee benefits were partially offset by a decrease in Trustmark’s Capital Accumulation Plan pension expense due to lower actuarially-determined rates, a decline in severance expenses due to non-routine transaction expenses from the merger with BancTrust incurred during 2013 and a decrease in commission expense resulting from declines in mortgage loan originations. Excluding the decline in pension expense due to actuarially-determined rates and the termination of the BancTrust Pension Plan and the decline in severance expenses due to non-routine transaction expenses from the merger with BancTrust, salaries and employee benefits for 2014 increased $10.3 million, or 4.6%, relative to 2013.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $31.2 million, or 16.4%, during 2013, which was primarily attributable to $21.8 million of salaries and employee benefits expense for BancTrust, which included non-routine merger expenses of $1.4 million for change in control and severance expense, and $2.2 million of non-routine defined benefit plan settlement expense for the lump sum settlement of certain benefits to the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan. Excluding BancTrust and the non-routine settlement expense, salaries and employee benefits expense increased $7.2 million, or 3.8%, during 2013. This increase primarily reflects modest general merit increases, higher commissions expense resulting from improved performance in Trustmark’s Insurance and Wealth Management Divisions, and increases in incentives for mortgage loan originators.
Services and Fees
Services and fees for 2014 increased $2.7 million when compared with 2013, while services and fees for 2013 increased $7.2 million when compared with 2012. The increase in services and fees during 2014 was primarily due to increases in advertising expense, professional services and fees, data processing expense related to software and communications expense, which was partially offset by a decline in legal expense. Growth in services and fees during 2013 was due to $3.7 million of services and fees expense from BancTrust operations as well as increases in processing fees, software amortization and maintenance expense and professional services fees.
Net Occupancy-Premises
Net occupancy-premises expense for 2014 increased $507 thousand when compared with 2013, while net occupancy-premises for 2013 increased $5.7 million when compared with 2012. The increase in net occupancy-premises expense during 2014 was principally due to increases in utility costs. The increase in net occupancy-premises expense during 2013 was primarily attributable to $4.0 million of expense from BancTrust operations.
Equipment Expense
Equipment expense for 2014 decreased $678 thousand when compared to 2013, while equipment expense for 2013 increased $4.1 million when compared with 2012. The decrease in equipment expense during 2014 was principally due to decreases in service and repairs, rental and maintenance contract expenses, which was partially offset by increases in data processing hardware maintenance fees. The increase in equipment expense during 2013 was due to increases in expenses related to data processing equipment and furniture and equipment as well as $1.8 million of equipment expense from BancTrust operations.
FDIC Assessment Expense
FDIC assessment expense increased $1.2 million during 2014, compared to an increase of $2.5 million during 2013. The increase in FDIC assessment expense for 2014 primarily resulted from the increase in Trustmark’s assessment base, which was principally due to the BancTrust merger. The increase in FDIC assessment expense during 2013 primarily resulted from $1.5 million of additional fees from BancTrust operations as well as the increase in Trustmark’s assessment base. As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, 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 requires the minimum reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund be increased 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 greater than $10.0 billion at December 31, 2013, Trustmark lost the benefit of this offset beginning in the second quarter 2014. The change in the assessment methodology was immaterial to Trustmark’s results of operations.
ORE/Foreclosure Expense
ORE/Foreclosure expense for 2014 decreased $3.7 million when compared to 2013, which was primarily due to the increase in the net gain on the sale of other real estate and a decrease in write-downs of other real estate, which was partially offset by an increase in the provision for other real estate write-downs. The net gain on sale of other real estate for 2014 totaled $3.7 million, compared to a net loss on the sale of other real estate for 2013 of $772 thousand and a net gain on the sale of other real estate of $148 thousand for 2012. ORE/Foreclosure expense for 2013 increased $3.9 million when compared to 2012. BancTrust contributed $2.0 million of ORE/Foreclosure expense for 2013. The increase in ORE/Foreclosure expense for 2013 was primarily attributable to increases in the carrying cost of other real estate due to the increase in other real estate activity compared to 2012 as well as the write-down of a property in the Tennessee market region during the second quarter of 2013. For additional analysis of other real estate and foreclosure expenses, please see the sections captioned “Nonperforming Assets, excluding Acquired Loans and Covered Other Real Estate” and “Covered Other Real Estate,” located elsewhere in this report.

Other expenses decreased $11.7 million during 2014 when compared with 2013. The decline in other expenses during 2014 was primarily due to declines in non-routine transaction expenses on acquisition, which were incurred during 2013 as a result of the merger with BancTrust, loan expense and other miscellaneous expense. The decrease in loan expense during 2014 was primarily due to declines in other loan expense, mortgage loan putback expense and mortgage loan compensatory fees. The decrease in other miscellaneous expense during 2014 was principally due to the non-routine litigation expense related to the settlement of the NSF and overdraft litigation incurred during 2013, which was partially offset by increases in other miscellaneous expenses due primarily to increases in ATM and debit card processing expenses, sponsorships and charitable contributions and insurance expenses.
Other expenses increased $16.7 million during 2013 when compared with 2012. BancTrust contributed $17.0 million of other expense for 2013. The growth in other expenses during 2013 was primarily due to BancTrust non-routine merger expenses of $7.9 million ($2.2 million of professional fees and $5.7 million of contract termination and other expenses), the increase in the amortization of the core deposit intangible and other miscellaneous expenses as a result of the BancTrust merger, and the $4.0 million of non-routine litigation expense related to the settlement regarding Trustmark’s overdraft fees for insufficient funds on debit card purchases and ATM withdrawals. Excluding BancTrust and the non-routine litigation expense, other expense declined $4.3 million, or 8.8%, during 2013, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in loan expenses that resulted from lower mortgage loan putback expenses.
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, loans that do not meet investor guidelines, loans in which the appraisal does not support the value and/or loans obtained through fraud by the borrowers or other third parties. Generally, putback requests may be made until the loan is paid in full. However, mortgage loans delivered to the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) on or after January 1, 2013 are subject to the Lending and Selling Representations and Warranties Framework updated in May 2014, which provides certain instances in which FNMA and FHLMC will not exercise their remedies, including a putback request, for breaches of certain selling representations and warranties, such as payment history and quality control review.
The total mortgage loan servicing putback expenses, included in loan expense, incurred by Trustmark were $600 thousand during 2014, $1.5 million during 2013 and $8.0 million during 2012. During November 2013, Trustmark finalized its agreement with FNMA (the “Resolution Agreement”) to resolve its existing and future repurchase and make whole obligations (collectively “Repurchase Obligations”) related to mortgage loans originated between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2008 and delivered to FNMA. Under the terms of the Resolution Agreement, Trustmark paid FNMA approximately $3.6 million with respect to the Repurchase Obligations. Trustmark believes that it was in its best interests to execute the Resolution Agreement in order to bring finality to the loss reimbursement exposure with FNMA for these years and reduce the resources spent on individual file reviews and defending loss reimbursement requests. The Repurchase Obligations were covered by Trustmark’s existing reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expenses. At December 31, 2014, the reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expenses for FNMA loans in periods not covered by the Resolution Agreement and to other entities totaled $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2013.
Mortgage loans covered by the Resolution Agreement executed with FNMA are only subject to putback risk due to borrower fraud or systemic risk. Trustmark’s exposure to putback requests for loans sold to FNMA, which were originated after 2008, has improved as a result of industry-wide guidelines and process enhancements implemented since that time. Trustmark’s exposure to putback requests for loans sold to GNMA has improved as a result of declining delinquency ratios. Please see “LHFS” located elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding mortgage loans sold to GNMA.
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 servicing putback requests.
Segment Information
Results of Segment Operations
Trustmark’s operations are managed along three operating segments: General Banking Division, Wealth Management Division and Insurance Division. During the second quarter of 2014, Trustmark revised the composition of its operating segments by moving the Private Banking group from the Wealth Management Division to the General Banking Division as a result of a change in supervision of this group for segment reporting purposes. A description of each segment and the methodologies used to measure financial performance are described in Note 21 – Segment Information located in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Prior period financial information by reportable segment includes the appropriate reclassifications to conform to the current period presentation.

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 205 offices in Alabama, 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, restricted stock, 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 merger with BancTrust contributed approximately $60.9 million to net interest income, $7.6 million to provision for loan losses, net, $7.5 million to noninterest income and $51.9 million to noninterest expense of the General Banking Division during 2013. During 2012, Trustmark’s merger with 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. These amounts are included in the balances shown in the following three paragraphs.
Net interest income for the General Banking Division for 2014 increased $16.6 million, or 4.3%, when compared with 2013. The growth in net interest income was mostly due to increases in taxable interest on securities and interest and fees on LHFS and LHFI as well as modest declines in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. Net interest income for the General Banking Division for 2013 increased $47.5 million, or 14.0%, when compared with 2012. The growth in net interest income is mostly due to the significant increase in interest and fees on acquired loans due to the BancTrust merger as well as modest declines in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by downward repricing of loans and securities. The provision for loan losses, net during 2014 totaled $7.4 million compared with a negative $7.4 million during 2013 and $12.3 million during 2012.
For more information on these net interest income items, please see the sections captioned “Financial Highlights” and “Results of Operations,” located elsewhere in this report.
Noninterest income for the General Banking Division decreased $6.1 million, or 5.4%, during 2014 compared to a decrease of $9.0 million, or 7.3%, during 2013. Noninterest income for the General Banking Division represented 21.0% of its total revenues for 2014, 22.7% for 2013 and 26.5% for 2012.

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. Trustmark Investment Advisors, Inc. (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 2014, net income for the Wealth Management Division increased $661 thousand, or 18.6%, compared to an increase of $851 thousand, or 31.4%, during 2013. Noninterest income, which includes income related to investment management, trust and brokerage services, increased $2.8 million, or 9.4%, during 2014, compared to an increase of $5.0 million, or 20.6% during 2013. The increase in noninterest income for the Wealth Management Division during 2014 was primarily attributable to trust management fees on new business (principally in the personal trust group), the addition of BancTrust for a full twelve months and fixed annuity income generated by the brokerage services unit. BancTrust contributed approximately $3.5 million of noninterest income to the Wealth Management Division during 2013. The increase in noninterest income during 2013, excluding BancTrust, was primarily attributable to fee and annuity income generated by the brokerage services unit and trust management fees (principally related to mutual funds). Noninterest expense increased $2.0 million, or 8.2%, during 2014 and $3.8 million, or 18.2%, during 2013, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense. The increase in salaries and benefits expense for the Wealth Management Division was primarily due to modest general merit increases, higher commission and trust incentive expense resulting from improved performance in the Wealth Management Division and the addition of BancTrust.
During 2013, the Custody Services Department assumed a custody role over a large public entity account which significantly increased the assets under administration. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark held assets under management and administration of $10.161 billion and $11.087 billion and brokerage assets of $1.557 billion and $1.454 billion, respectively.
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 Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance, Inc. (FBBI), a Mississippi corporation and subsidiary of TNB.
Net income for the Insurance Division during 2014 and 2013 remained flat as increases in noninterest income were offset by increases in noninterest expense. Noninterest income for the Insurance Division increased $2.6 million, or 8.5%, during 2014, compared to an increase of $2.6 million, or 9.4%, during 2013. The increase in noninterest income during 2014 was due to
new business commission volume primarily in group health and commercial property and casualty coverage.
The increase in noninterest income during 2013 was due to
new business commission volume resulting from expanded business development efforts and increasing premium rates on commercial property and casualty policies and group health coverage. General business activity continues to improve marginally, resulting in increases in the demand for coverage on inventories, property, equipment, general liability and workers’ compensation.
Noninterest expense for the Insurance Division increased $2.6 million, or 10.8%, during 2014 and $2.6 million, or 12.3%, during 2013, primarily due to higher commissions expense resulting from improved performance in the Insurance Division.
During 2014, 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, 2014, 2013, and 2012. 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 to maintain the current 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.
Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2014, Trustmark’s combined effective tax rate was 23.8% compared to 24.0% in 2013 and 26.4% in 2012. Trustmark invests in partnerships that provide income tax credits on a Federal and/or State basis (i.e., NMTC, 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. During 2014, Trustmark invested approximately $3.4 million in these partnerships, compared to approximately $44.0 million during 2013 and $19.2 million during 2012. The increase in investments in tax credit partnerships during 2013 was primarily the result of the $50.0 million NMTC allocation awarded to SCC by the CDFI Fund. SCC was not awarded a NMTC allocation in 2014. The decrease in Trustmark's effective tax rate in 2014 and 2013 is mainly due to increased investment in these partnerships along with the appropriate tax credits.
Financial Condition
Earning assets serve as the primary revenue streams for Trustmark and are comprised of securities, loans, federal funds sold, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and other earning assets. Average earning assets totaled $10.445 billion, or 86.8% of total average assets, at December
31, 2014, compared with
$10.052 billion, or 87.2% of total average assets, at December
31, 2013, an increase of $393.2 million, or 3.9%.
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 the portfolio. The weighted-average life of the portfolio decreased to 3.9 years at December 31, 2014, compared to 4.8 years at December 31, 2013. The increase in the weighted-average life of the portfolio in 2013 was primarily due to slower mortgage prepayment estimates and a longer weighted-average life for the securities acquired through the BancTrust merger.
When compared with December 31, 2013, total investment securities increased by $182.4 million during 2014. This increase resulted primarily from purchases of U.S. Government-sponsored agency (GSE) guaranteed securities, partially offset by maturities and pay-downs of the loans underlying these securities. During 2014, Trustmark sold approximately $56.5 million in securities, generating a net gain of $300 thousand, compared with $227.4 million during 2013, which generated a net gain of $485 thousand.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, Trustmark sold $135.6 million of Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO) due to uncertainty related to the Volker Rule generating a net gain of $1.3 million. These securities were identified as available for sale and had been carried in the asset-backed securities and structured financial products line item in the table shown below. Trustmark sold the remaining $25.9 million of CLO securities during the first quarter of 2014 generating a net gain of $389 thousand.
During 2013, Trustmark reclassified approximately $1.099 billion of securities available for sale as securities held to maturity to mitigate the potential adverse impact of a rising interest rate environment on the fair value of the available for sale securities and the related impact on tangible common equity. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities held to maturity. At the date of transfer, the net unrealized holding loss on the available for sale securities totaled $46.6 million. The net unrealized holding loss is amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. At December 31, 2014, the net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying balance sheets totaled $40.4 million ($24.9 million net of tax) compared to $46.4 million ($28.6 million net of tax) at December 31, 2013.
Available for sale securities are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2014, available for sale securities totaled $2.375 billion, which represented 67.0% of the securities portfolio, compared to $2.194 billion, or 65.2%, at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, unrealized gains, net on available for sale securities totaled $22.6 million compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, available for sale securities consisted of U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, GSE guaranteed mortgage-related securities, direct obligations of government agencies and GSEs and asset-backed securities and structured financial products.
Held to maturity 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, 2014, held to maturity securities totaled $1.171 billion and represented 33.0% of the total securities portfolio, compared with $1.169 billion, or 34.8%, at December 31, 2013.

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.
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 93% of the portfolio in GSE-backed obligations and other Aaa-rated securities as determined by Moody’s Investors Services (Moody’s). None of the securities owned by Trustmark are collateralized by assets which are considered sub-prime. Furthermore, outside of stock ownership in the FHLB of Dallas, FHLB of Atlanta and Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Trustmark does not hold any other equity investment in a GSE.
As of December 31, 2014, 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 following tables present Trustmark’s securities portfolio by amortized cost and estimated fair value and by credit rating, as determined by Moody’s, at December 31, 2014 ($ in thousands):

The table above presenting the credit rating of Trustmark’s securities is formatted to show the securities according to the credit rating category, and not by category of the underlying security. At December 31, 2014, approximately 92.8% of the available for sale securities and 94.6% of held to maturity securities were rated Aaa.
LHFS
At December 31, 2014, LHFS totaled $132.2 million, consisting of $91.2 million of residential real estate mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third parties and $41.0 million of GNMA optional repurchase loans. At December 31, 2013, LHFS totaled $149.2 million, consisting of $111.1 million in residential real estate mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third parties and $38.0 million in 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.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, Trustmark elected to account for its LHFS purchased or originated on or after October 1, 2014 under the fair value option with interest income on these LHFS reported in interest and fees on LHFS and LHFI. The fair value option election does not apply to the GNMA optional repurchase loans. The fair value of the LHFS is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan. The LHFS are actively managed and monitored and certain market risks of the loans may be mitigated through the use of derivatives. These derivative instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net. The changes in the fair value of the LHFS are largely offset by changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2014, $2.0 million was recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net for changes in the fair value of the LHFS accounted for under the fair value option. Election of the fair value option allows Trustmark to reduce the accounting volatility that would otherwise result from the asymmetry created by accounting for the financial instruments at the lower of cost or fair value and the derivatives at fair value. There was no impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements on the date of the election.
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 LHFS, regardless of whether Trustmark intends to exercise the buy-back option. T
hese 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 during 2014.
During 2013, Trustmark exercised its option to repurchase approximately $57.4 million delinquent loans serviced for GNMA.
These loans were subsequently sold to a third party under different repurchase provisions. Trustmark retained the servicing for these loans, which are fully guaranteed by FHA/VA. As a result of this repurchase and sale, the loans were no longer carried as LHFS. The transaction resulted in a gain of $534 thousand, which was included in mortgage banking, net for 2013.

LHFI at December 31, 2014 totaled $6.449 billion compared to $5.799 billion at December 31, 2013, an increase of $650.6 million, or 11.2%, due principally to increased loan demand and growth in the Mississippi and Alabama market regions. Trustmark entered the Alabama market region as a result of the BancTrust merger in 2013. Growth in LHFI was attributable to net increases in all categories of LHFI. LHFI secured by real estate increased $374.3 million, or 10.2%, during 2014, which was principally due to growth in 1-4 family mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans.
Due to the rise in interest rates on the mortgage portfolio and the tightening of the secondary marketing spreads during the second half of 2013, Management elected to resume the practice of retaining certain 10-15 year mortgage loans in the portfolio. As a result of this decision, the 1-4 family mortgage loan portfolio increased $148.8 million, or 10.0%, during 2014, primarily in the Mississippi, Alabama and Florida market regions. The commercial real estate loan portfolio increased $138.1 million, or 9.8%, during 2014. The growth in the commercial real estate loan portfolio was primarily attributable to increases in non-owner occupied loans in Trustmark’s Alabama, Texas, Florida and Tennessee market regions principally due to construction loans moved to permanent financing. Other real estate secured LHFI increased $64.4 million, or 34.0%, during 2014, primarily due to increases in multi-family residential loans in the Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and Tennessee market regions as construction loans were moved to permanent financing.
LHFI secured by construction, land development and other land increased $23.0 million, or 3.9%, during 2014, primarily due to growth in 1-4 family construction and other construction loans partially offset by declines in land development. The 1-4 family construction loan portfolio increased $40.2 million, or 41.6%, during 2014, principally due to growth in all of Trustmark’s market regions. Other construction loans increased $25.9 million, or 10.6%, during 2014, as growth in the Texas and Alabama market regions was partially offset by declines in the Mississippi, Tennessee and Florida market regions. During 2014, $237.9 million in other construction loans were moved to the appropriate permanent categories upon completion, including $116.5 million in non-owner occupied, $75.3 million in multi-family residential, $28.9 million in owner occupied, $10.9 million in obligations of states and political subdivisions and $6.2 million in commercial and industrial. Excluding all reclasses between loan categories, growth in other construction loans was $261.2 million for 2014. Land development loans declined $44.9 million, or 47.0%, during 2014, primarily in the Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee market regions as development loans moved to other loan categories.
The other loan portfolio increased $160.9 million, or 20.4%, during 2014, which represented growth in all of Trustmark’s market regions primarily in the obligations of states and political subdivisions loan segment and other loans, which includes lending to nonprofits and real estate investment trusts. The commercial and industrial loan portfolio increase of $112.7 million, or 9.7%, was primarily attributable to growth in Trustmark’s Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee market regions. Trustmark’s exposure to the energy sector is primarily included in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio in Trustmark’s Mississippi and Texas market regions. At December 31, 2014, energy-related LHFI had outstanding balances of approximately $208.0 million, which represented approximately 3.0% of Trustmark’s total LHFI portfolio. These loans currently have no adversely rated credits and are all currently performing. Due to the recent volatility in oil prices, Management will continue to monitor this exposure. The consumer loan portfolio increased $2.7 million, or 1.6%, during 2014, primarily due to growth in the Alabama market region.

Due to the increased risk associated with second liens, loan terms and underwriting guidelines differ from those used for products secured by first liens. Loan amounts and loan-to-value ratios are limited and are lower for second liens than first liens. Also, interest rates and maximum amortization periods are adjusted accordingly. In addition, regardless of lien position, the passing credit score for approval of all home equity lines of credit is higher than that of term loans. The allowance for loan losses, LHFI is also reflective of the increased risk related to second liens through application of a greater loss factor to this portion of the portfolio.
In the following tables, LHFI reported by region (along with related nonperforming assets and net charge-offs) are associated with location of origination except for loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties (representing traditional mortgages), credit cards and indirect consumer auto loans. These loans are included in the Mississippi Region because they are centrally analyzed and approved as part of a specific line of business located at Trustmark’s headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi.

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.
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. Trustmark has not originated or purchased subprime mortgages. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark held “alt A” mortgages with an aggregate principal balance of $1.5 million (0.04% 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 FNMA “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.
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 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 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 (but not limited to) 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; changes in interest rates and collateral, financial and underwriting exceptions; and loan facility risk. For a complete description of Trustmark’s allowance for loan loss methodology and the quantitative and qualitative factors included in the valuation allowance, please see Note 5 – LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI included in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – located elsewhere in this report.
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 ($ in thousands):

At December 31, 2014, the allowance for loan losses, LHFI, was $69.6 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 4.8%, when compared with December 31, 2013. Total allowance coverage of nonperforming LHFI, excluding impaired LHFI, at December 31, 2014, was 180.95%, compared to 190.70% at December 31, 2013. Allocation of Trustmark’s $69.6 million allowance for loan losses, LHFI, represented 1.23% of commercial LHFI and 0.67% of consumer and home mortgage LHFI, resulting in an allowance to total LHFI of 1.08% as of December 31, 2014. This compares with an allowance to total LHFI of 1.15% at December 31, 2013, which was allocated to commercial LHFI at 1.30% and to consumer and mortgage LHFI at 0.75%.
Recoveries exceeded charge-offs for 2014 resulting in a net recovery of $2.0 million, or -0.03% of average LHFI, compared to a net recovery of $1.1 million, or -0.02%, in 2013, and net charge-offs of $17.5 million, or 0.30%, in 2012. The increase in net recoveries during 2014 can be primarily attributed to increases in recoveries resulting from impaired LHFI paid off in excess of the book value, net of previous charge-downs, principally in the Texas market region, which were partially offset by an increase in charge-offs of LHFI principally in the Mississippi market region. During 2013, net recoveries for the Florida market region totaled $3.0 million, which were partially offset by net charge-offs in Trustmark’s other market regions. The increase in recoveries during 2013 can be primarily attributed to impaired LHFI paid off in excess of the book value, net of previous charge-downs. The net charge-offs exceeded the provisions for Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas during 2013 because a large portion of charge-offs had been fully reserved in prior periods. An immaterial amount of net charge-offs for the Alabama market region were recorded in 2013 due primarily to overdrafts on deposit accounts acquired in the BancTrust merger. Management continues to monitor the impact of real estate values on borrowers and is proactively managing these situations.
The following table presents the net (recoveries) charge-offs for LHFI by geographic market region for the periods presented ($ in thousands):

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 or an impairment evaluation indicates that a value adjustment is necessary. 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, 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.

Nonaccrual LHFI
During 2014, nonaccrual LHFI increased $14.1 million, or 21.6%, relative to December 31, 2013 to total $79.3 million, or 1.21% of total LHFI and LHFS. The increase in nonaccrual LHFI was principally the result of four substandard credits migrating to nonaccrual status during 2014. These four credit relationships totaled $21.6 million at December 31, 2014 and were included in Trustmark’s Mississippi market region. Excluding these four credit relationships, nonaccrual LHFI totaled $57.8 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 11.5%, relative to December 31, 2013 as Trustmark continues to work through its problem assets.

Other Real Estate, Excluding Covered Other Real Estate
At December 31, 2014, other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, totaled $92.5 million, a decrease of $14.0 million, or 13.2%, when compared with December 31, 2013. The decrease in other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, was attributable to decreases in the Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas market regions, which were partially offset by a slight increase in the Florida market region.

Write-downs of other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, increased $1.3 million during 2014, compared to a decrease of
$242 thousand and $7.3 million during 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The increase in write-downs on other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, during 2014 was primarily the result of a $1.8 million increase in the reserve for write-downs of other real estate, principally in the Alabama market region, and write-downs on BancTrust related other real estate that was revalued during 2014, which were partially offset by declines in write-downs in the Tennessee and Texas market regions. The increase in write-downs on other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, in the Mississippi market region during 2014 was principally due to reserves released during 2013.
The decrease in write-downs on other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, during 2013 was primarily the result of write-downs fully reserved in prior periods offset by a write-down on an individual property within the Tennessee market region during 2013 as well as $769 thousand of write-downs on and $1.1 million of reserve established for BancTrust other real estate.

Loans acquired through business combinations were evaluated for evidence of credit deterioration since origination and collectability of contractually required payments. Trustmark elected to account for all loans acquired in business combinations as acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, except for acquired loans with revolving privileges and acquired commercial leases, which are outside the scope of this guidance. While not all loans acquired in business combinations exhibited evidence of significant credit deterioration, accounting for these acquired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 would have materially the same result as the alternative accounting treatment. Acquired loans with revolving privileges and acquired commercial leases were accounted for in accordance with accounting requirements for acquired nonimpaired loans.
On February 15, 2013, Trustmark completed its merger with BancTrust. Trustmark acquired $944.2 million of noncovered loans, including $153.9 million of revolving credit agreements and commercial leases, at fair value, in the BancTrust merger. During the second quarter of 2013, Trustmark recorded a fair value adjustment based on the estimated fair value of certain acquired loans which resulted in a net decrease in acquired noncovered loans of $524 thousand. During the third quarter of 2013, Trustmark recorded a fair value adjustment based on the estimated fair value of certain acquired loans which resulted in a net decrease in acquired noncovered loans of $6.3 million. The purchase price allocation for these loans was considered final as of December 31, 2013.
On March 16, 2012, Trustmark completed its merger with Bay Bank. Trustmark acquired $97.9 million of noncovered loans, including
$5.9 million of revolving credit agreements, at fair value, in the Bay Bank merger, consisting mainly of home equity loans and commercial asset-based lines of credit, where the borrower had revolving privileges on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation 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 purchase 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 acquired covered loans in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
TNB acquired $3.8 million of revolving credit agreements, at fair value, in the Heritage acquisition, consisting mainly of home equity loans and commercial asset-based lines of credit, where the borrower had revolving privileges on the acquisition date.

FDIC Indemnification Asset
Trustmark periodically re-estimates the expected cash flows on the acquired covered loans as required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30. For 2014, 2013 and 2012, this analysis resulted in improvements in the estimated future cash flows of the acquired covered loans that remain outstanding as well as lower expected remaining losses on those loans, primarily due to pay-offs of acquired covered loans. The pay-offs and improvements in the estimated expected cash flows of the acquired covered loans resulted in a reduction of the expected loss-share receivable from the FDIC. Reductions of the FDIC indemnification asset resulting from improvements in expected cash flows and covered losses based on the re-estimation of acquired covered loans are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life or contractual FDIC agreement period of the acquired covered loan as a yield adjustment consistent with the associated acquired covered loan.
Other noninterest income for 2014 and 2013 included
$2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset, compared to $245 thousand of accretion during 2012. Amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset resulted from improvements in the expected cash flows and lower loss expectations.
During 2014 and 2013, other noninterest income also included a reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset of $800 thousand and $3.4 million, respectively, primarily resulting from loan pay-offs partially offset by loan pools of acquired covered loans with increased loss expectations. Other noninterest income for 2012 included a reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset of $3.7 million as a result of loan pay-offs, improved cash flow projections and lower loss expectations for loan pools of acquired covered loans.

Pursuant to the provisions of the loss-share agreement with the FDIC, 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 $2.1 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2013.
Deposits
Trustmark’s deposits are its primary source of funding and consist 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 $9.698 billion at December 31, 2014 compared to $9.860 billion at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $161.5 million, or 1.6%. Growth in noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $85.1 million and was more than offset by a decline in interest-bearing deposits of $246.7 million during 2014. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to growth in public and personal demand deposit accounts, partially offset by a decline in commercial demand deposit accounts. The decrease in interest-bearing deposits resulted primarily from decreases in time deposits and money market deposit accounts, partially offset by growth in interest checking accounts. Time deposit account balances declined by $328.3 million during 2014 as a result of Trustmark’s continued efforts to reduce high-cost deposit balances and the $50.0 million term fixed-rate brokered CD which matured on February 25, 2014. For additional information regarding Trustmark’s brokered deposits, please see the section captioned “Liquidity” included elsewhere in this report.
Short-term Borrowings
Trustmark uses short-term borrowings to fund growth of earning assets in excess of deposit growth. Short-term borrowings consist primarily of fed funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, short-term FHLB advances and GNMA optional repurchase loans. Short-term borrowings totaled $868.6 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $550.6 million when compared with $318.0 million at December 31, 2013. Fed funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements totaled $443.5 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $251.6 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $192.0 million. Of these amounts $213.5 million and $231.6 million, respectively, represented customer related transactions, such as commercial sweep repo balances. Excluding customer related transactions, fed funds purchased totaled $230.0 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $210.0 million when compared with $20.0 million at December 31, 2013, as Trustmark increased its upstream fed funds purchased as a less costly source of funding. Other short-term borrowings increased $358.7 million during 2014 primarily due to increases in short-term FHLB advances provided by the FHLB of Dallas of $350.0 million and GNMA optional repurchase loans of $3.0 million. For additional information regarding Trustmark’s short-term FHLB advances, please see the section captioned “Liquidity” included elsewhere in this report.

Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
As disclosed in Note 15 – Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Benefits included in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,
Trustmark maintains a noncontributory tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan (Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan), in which substantially all associates employed prior to 2007 participate. 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. Benefit accruals under the plan were frozen during 2009, with the exception of certain associates covered through plans obtained by acquisitions that were subsequently merged into the Trustmark plan. Associates have not earned additional benefits, except for interest as required by IRS regulations, since the plan was frozen. Current and former associates who participate in the plan retain their right to receive benefits that accrued before the plan was frozen.
As a result of the merger with BancTrust on February 15, 2013, Trustmark
became the sponsor of the Retirement Plan for Employees of BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. (BancTrust Pension Plan), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan, which was frozen prior to the
merger date. On January 28, 2014, Trustmark's Board of Directors authorized the termination of the BancTrust Pension Plan effective as of April 15, 2014.
The IRS has been asked to review the BancTrust Pension Plan’s tax qualification at its termination, and it is anticipated that the IRS will issue a favorable determination letter with respect to the plan’s termination once its review is complete. In addition, as required by law, a termination notice has been filed with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), and it is not anticipated that the PBGC will raise any issues with respect to the plan’s termination. During 2014, the assets of the BancTrust Pension Plan were held in trust and distributed in conjunction with the plan termination. All assets of the BancTrust Pension Plan were distributed as of December 31, 2014. Benefits that were not paid to participants were annuitized under annuity contracts. As a result of the termination of the plan, Trustmark recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million during 2014.
At December 31, 2014, the fair value of plan assets for Trustmark’s qualified defined benefit pension plans totaled $86.3 million and was exceeded by the projected benefit obligation of $101.9 million by $15.6 million. Net periodic benefit cost equaled $1.5 million in 2014, compared with $5.4 million in 2013 and $3.7 million in 2012.
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 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 range of potential contributions to Trustmark’s qualified defined benefit pension plans is determined annually by the plans’ actuary in accordance with applicable IRS rules and regulations. Trustmark's policy is to fund amounts that are sufficient to satisfy the annual minimum funding requirements and are deductible for federal income tax purposes. The actual amount of the contribution is determined annually based on the plans’ funded status and return on plan assets as of the measurement date, which is December 31.
For the plan year ended December 31, 2013, Trustmark made minimum required contributions to the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan of $2.1 million
. For the plan year ending December 31, 2014, the minimum required contribution for Trustmark’s Capital Accumulation Plan was expected to be $1.8 million prior to the passage of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act (HATFA). Trustmark contributed approximately $1.0 million to the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan prior to the passage of HATFA. HATFA extends the pension funding relief for several more years and was mandatory for 2014. As a result of HATFA, there was no minimum required contribution for the plan year ending December 31, 2014. Therefore, no additional contributions were made during 2014. For the plan year ending December 31, 2015, Trustmark’s minimum required contribution to the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan is expected to be zero; however, Management and the Board of Directors will monitor the plan throughout 2015 to determine any additional funding requirements by the plan’s measurement date. A contribution of $334 thousand was required during 2014 for the BancTrust Pension Plan in order to complete the plan termination. Since the plan has been terminated, there will be no additional contributions required in the future.
Supplemental Retirement Plans
Trustmark maintains a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan covering directors who elected 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 may be used to fund future payments under the plan. The measurement date for the plan is December 31. As a result of the merger with BancTrust on February 15, 2013, Trustmark became the administrator of an additional nonqualified supplemental retirement plan, which plan benefits were frozen prior to the merger date.
At December 31, 2014, the accrued benefit obligation for the supplemental retirement plans equaled $59.7 million, while the net periodic benefit cost equaled $3.4 million in 2014, $3.8 million in 2013 and $3.9 million in 2012. The net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligation are determined using actuarial assumptions as of the plans’ 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, 2014, unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized prior service costs continue to be amortized over future service periods.
Legal Environment
Information required in this section is set forth under the heading “Legal Proceedings” of Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies in Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – of this report.
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, and thus are not expected to have a significant impact on Trustmark’s liquidity or capital resources. 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark had unused commitments to extend credit of $2.489 billion and $2.193 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, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for letters of credit was $132.8 million and $142.6 million, respectively. These amounts consist primarily of commitments with maturities of less than three years. Trustmark holds collateral to support certain letters of credit when deemed necessary.
Contractual Obligations
Trustmark is obligated to make payments under specific long-term and certain other binding contractual arrangements. The following table provides a schedule of the amount of the payments due under those obligations as of December 31, 2014 ($ in thousands):

Capital Resources
At December 31, 2014, Trustmark’s total shareholders’ equity was $1.420 billion, an increase of $65.0 million, or 4.8%, from its level at December 31, 2013. During 2014, shareholders’ equity increased primarily as a result of net income of $123.6 million and was partially offset by common stock dividends of $62.5 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 and 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 risk-based capital and leverage capital requirements, which are administered by the federal bank regulatory agencies. These capital requirements, as defined by federal regulations, involve quantitative and qualitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet instruments. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in 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.
TNB aims to exceed the well-capitalized guidelines for regulatory capital.
As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark and TNB exceeded all applicable minimum capital standards for the parent company and its primary banking subsidiary. In addition, TNB met applicable regulatory guidelines to be considered well-capitalized at December 31, 2014. To be categorized in this manner, TNB maintained minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital 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, 2014, which Management believes have affected Trustmark’s or TNB's present classification. As of January 1, 2015, Trustmark and TNB were subject to revised capital requirements as described in the section captioned “Capital Adequacy” included in Part I. Item 1. – Business – located elsewhere in this report. Management believes that Trustmark and TNB are considered well-capitalized under these revised standards.
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. Trustmark will continue to utilize $60.0 million in trust preferred securities issued by the Trust as Tier 1 capital up to the regulatory limit, as permitted by the grandfather provision in the Dodd-Frank Act and the Basel III Final Rule. For additional information see the section captioned “Capital Adequacy” included in Part I. Item 1. – Business – included elsewhere in this report.

Dividends on Common Stock
Dividends per common share for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $0.92. Trustmark’s dividend payout ratio for 2014, 2013 and 2012 was 50.3%, 52.6%, and 50.8%, 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 2015 approximately $114.3 million plus its net income for that year to pay as dividends to Trustmark. The actual amount of any dividends declared in 2015 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 $9.769 billion for 2014 and represented approximately 81.2% of average liabilities and shareholders’ equity, compared to average deposits of $9.495 billion, which represented 82.3% of average liabilities and shareholders’ equity for 2013.
Trustmark utilizes a limited amount of brokered deposits to supplement other wholesale funding sources. At December 31, 2014, brokered sweep Money Market Deposit Account (MMDA) deposits totaled $36.5 million compared to $42.9 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, Trustmark had $50.0 million in term fixed-rate brokered CDs outstanding. 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. Trustmark’s brokered CDs matured on February 25, 2014. Based on its funding position at the time, Trustmark did not renew the brokered CDs.
At December 31, 2014, Trustmark had $6.5 million of reciprocal Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) time deposits, which were acquired in the BancTrust merger, compared to $18.3 million at December 31, 2013. CDARS is a product offered by a third-party through which a customer’s deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits is distributed to multiple participating banks, with Trustmark remaining as the relationship bank. When a customer’s excess deposits are distributed through the CDARS system, Trustmark receives reciprocal excess deposits from other participating banks. Trustmark has no customer relationship or contact with the customers whose excess deposits it receives. The funds are entitled to 100% FDIC insurance coverage as none of the deposits received exceed the FDIC insurance limit at the individual customer level.
At December 31, 2014, Trustmark had $230.0 million upstream federal funds purchased, compared to $20.0 million at December 31, 2013. Trustmark maintains adequate federal funds lines to provide sufficient short-term liquidity. Trustmark also maintains a relationship with the FHLB of Dallas, which provided $350.0 million of advances at December 31, 2014 compared to no advances at December 31, 2013. Trustmark chose to utilize the short-term FHLB advances as a funding source beginning in the third quarter of 2014 due to the favorable interest rates afforded by that source as compared to other sources in the market at that time. Under the existing borrowing agreement, Trustmark had sufficient qualifying collateral to increase FHLB advances with the FHLB of Dallas by $1.678 billion at December 31, 2014. In addition, at December 31, 2014, Trustmark had $8.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding with the FHLB of Atlanta, which were acquired in the BancTrust merger, compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2013. Trustmark has a non-member status and no additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Atlanta.
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, 2014, Trustmark had approximately $893.0 million available in repurchase agreement capacity compared to $670.0 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in repurchase agreement capacity at December 31, 2014, was primarily due to the increase in Trustmark’s investment portfolio.
Another borrowing source is the Discount Window. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark had approximately $955.3 million available in collateral capacity at the Discount Window from pledges of loans and securities, compared with $931.6 million at December 31, 2013.
TNB has outstanding $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes (the Notes) due December 15, 2016. At December 31, 2014, 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. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase $61.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Trustmark’s junior subordinated debentures.
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, 2014, Trustmark had 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.
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. On October 1, 2014, Trustmark elected to account for its LHFS under the fair value option. As a result of this election, the forward sales contracts no longer qualify as derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815. For additional information regarding Trustmark’s fair value option election for the LHFS, see the section caption “LHFS” included elsewhere in this report. The gross, notional amount of Trustmark’s off-balance sheet obligations under these derivative instruments totaled $230.4 million at December 31, 2014, with a positive valuation adjustment of $285 thousand, compared to $214.3 million, with a positive valuation adjustment of $2.0 million as of December 31, 2013.
On April 4, 2013, Trustmark entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on junior subordinated debentures with a total notional amount of $60.0 million. The interest rate swap contract was designated as a derivative instrument in a cash flow hedge under FASB ASC Topic 815, with the objective of protecting the quarterly interest payments on Trustmark’s $60.0 million of junior subordinated debentures issued to the Trust throughout the five-year period beginning December 31, 2014 and ending December 31, 2019 from the risk of variability of those payments resulting from changes in the three-month LIBOR interest rate. Under the swap, which became effective on December 31, 2014, Trustmark will pay a fixed interest rate of 1.66% and receive a variable interest rate based on three-month LIBOR on a total notional amount of $60.0 million, with quarterly net settlements.
No ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge was recognized in the consolidated statements of income during the year ended December 31, 2014. The accumulated net after-tax gain related to the effective cash flow hedge included in AOCI totaled $136 thousand at December 31, 2014 compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2013. Amounts reported in AOCI related to this derivative are reclassified to other interest expense as interest payments are made on Trustmark’s variable rate junior subordinated debentures. During the next twelve months, Trustmark estimates that $747 thousand will be reclassified as an increase to other interest expense.
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 economically hedges changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates. These transactions are considered freestanding derivatives that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting. These exchange-traded derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with changes in the fair value 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 positive ineffectiveness of $3.1 million and $3.7 million for 2014 and 2013, respectively. The net positive ineffectiveness
primarily resulted from
the hedge income produced by a
positively-sloped
yield curve and net option premium, which are both core components of the MSR hedge strategy.
Trustmark offers certain derivatives products directly to qualified commercial lending clients seeking to manage their interest rate risk. Trustmark economically hedges interest rate swap transactions executed with commercial lending clients by entering into offsetting interest rate swap transactions with institutional derivatives market participants. 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 are expected to substantially offset. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $349.4 million related to this program, compared to $355.9 million as of December 31, 2013.
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, 2014, 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 $1.9 million compared to $508 thousand as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark had posted collateral with a market value of $1.0 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, 2014, 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, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark had entered into three risk participation agreements as a beneficiary with an aggregate notional amount of $19.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark had entered into one risk participation agreement as a guarantor with an aggregate notional amount of $6.2 million, compared to none at December 31, 2013. The fair values of these risk participation agreements were immaterial at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”
Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 will add FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and will supersede revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” as well as certain cost guidance in FASB ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” ASU 2014-09 provides a framework for revenue recognition that replaces the existing industry and transaction specific requirements under the existing standards. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. The model specifies that revenue should be recognized when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount in which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue should be recognized either over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance, or at a point in time, when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer. ASU 2014-09 provides that an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of non-financial assets that are not in a contract with a customer are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement in ASU 2014-09. The amendments of ASU 2014-09 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and may be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If the transition method of application is elected, the entity should
also provide the additional disclosures in reporting periods that include the date of initial application of (1) the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and (2) an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. Management is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements as well as the most appropriate method of application; however, regardless of the method of application selected, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
A complete list of accounting policies recently adopted and pending accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies of Part II. Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – found elsewhere in this report.
Market/Interest Rate Risk Management
The primary purpose in managing interest rate risk is to invest capital effectively and preserve the value created by the core banking business. This is accomplished through the development and implementation of lending, funding, pricing and hedging strategies designed to maximize net interest income performance under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines.
Financial simulation models are the primary tools used by Trustmark’s Asset/Liability Committee to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of scenarios, Management is provided with extensive information on the potential impact to net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. Models are structured to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of Trustmark’s balance sheet. Assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and the changing composition of Trustmark’s balance sheet, resulting from both strategic plans and customer behavior. In addition, the model incorporates Management’s assumptions and expectations regarding such factors as loan and deposit growth, pricing, prepayment speeds and spreads between interest rates.
Based on the results of the simulation models using static balances,
it is estimated that net interest income may increase 2.4% and 3.1% in a one-year, shocked, up 200 basis point rate shift scenario, compared to a base case, flat rate scenario at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates using static balances at December 31, 2014, it is estimated net interest income may decrease by 5.8% compared to a 4.5% decrease at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of a 200 basis point drop scenario was not calculated due to the low interest rate environment.
The table below summarizes the effect various rate shift scenarios would have on net interest income at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

As shown in the table above, the interest rate shocks for 2014 illustrate little to no change in net interest income in rising rate scenarios while displaying modest exposure to a falling rate environment. The exposure to falling rates is primarily due to a downward repricing of various earning assets with minimal contribution from liabilities given the already low cost of deposits in the base scenario. Management cannot provide any assurance about the actual effect of changes in interest rates on net interest income. The estimates provided do not include the effects of possible strategic changes in the balances of various assets and liabilities throughout 2015 or additional actions Trustmark could undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Management will continue to prudently manage the balance sheet in an effort to control interest rate risk and maintain profitability over the long term.
Another component of interest rate risk management is measuring the economic value-at-risk for a given change in market interest rates. The economic value-at-risk may indicate risks associated with longer-term balance sheet items that may not affect net interest income at risk over shorter time periods. Trustmark also uses computer-modeling techniques to determine the present value of all asset and liability cash flows (both on- and off-balance sheet), adjusted for prepayment expectations, using a market discount rate. The economic value of equity (EVE), also known as net portfolio value, is defined as the difference between the present value of asset cash flows and the present value of liability cash flows. The resulting change in EVE in different market rate environments, from the base case scenario, is the amount of EVE at risk from those rate environments. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the EVE at risk for an instantaneous up 200 basis point shift in rates produced an increase in net portfolio value of 10.1% and 4.2%, respectively. An instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates produced a decline in net portfolio value of 12.8% at December 31, 2014, compared to a decline of 2.5% at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of a 200 basis point drop scenario was not calculated due to the low interest rate environment.
The following table summarizes the effect that various rate shifts would have on net portfolio value at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

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.
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, 2014, the MSR fair value was approximately $64.4 million, compared to $67.8 million at December 31, 2013. The impact on the MSR fair value of a 10% adverse change in prepayment speeds or a 100 basis point increase in discount rates at December 31, 2014, would be a decline in fair value of approximately $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, compared to a decline in fair value of approximately $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013. Changes of equal magnitude in the opposite direction would produce similar increases in fair value in the respective amounts.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Trustmark Corporation (Trustmark) is a bank holding company headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi. Through its subsidiaries, Trustmark operates as a financial services organization providing banking and financial solutions to corporate institutions and individual customers through 205 offices in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trustmark and all other entities in which Trustmark has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expense during the reporting period and the related disclosures. Although Management’s estimates contemplate current conditions and how they are expected to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that in 2015 actual conditions could vary from those anticipated, which could affect Trustmark’s results of operations and financial condition. The allowance for loan losses, the amount and timing of expected cash flows from acquired loans and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) indemnification asset, the valuation of other real estate, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, the valuation of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles, the status of contingencies and the fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities
Securities are classified as either held to maturity, available for sale or trading. Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when Management has the positive intent and the ability to hold them until maturity. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Securities available for sale are used as part of Trustmark’s interest rate risk management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment rates and other factors. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. Trustmark currently has no securities classified as trading.
The amortized cost of debt securities classified as securities held to maturity or securities available for sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity over the estimated life of the security using the interest method. Such amortization or accretion is included in interest on securities. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in noninterest income as securities gains, net.
Securities transferred from the available for sale category to the held to maturity category are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. Unrealized holding gains or losses associated with the transfer of securities from available for sale to held to maturity are included in the balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. These unrealized holding gains or losses are amortized over the remaining life of the security as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security.
Trustmark reviews securities for impairment quarterly.
Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized
as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax
.
I
n estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, Management considers, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and Trustmark’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Loans Held for Sale (LHFS)
Primarily, all mortgage loans purchased from wholesale customers or originated in Trustmark’s General Banking Division are considered to be held for sale. In certain circumstances, Trustmark will retain a mortgage loan in its portfolio based on banking relationships or certain investment strategies. Mortgage LHFS in the secondary market that are hedged using fair value hedges are carried at estimated fair value on an aggregate basis. Substantially, all mortgage LHFS are hedged. These loans are primarily first-lien mortgage loans originated or purchased by Trustmark. Deferred loan fees and costs are reflected in the basis of LHFS and, as such, impact the resulting gain or loss when loans are sold. Adjustments to reflect fair value and realized gains and losses upon ultimate sale of the loans are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net.
Government National Mortgage Association (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. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” 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 LHFS, regardless of whether Trustmark intends to exercise the buy-back option. T
hese loans are reported as LHFS with the offsetting liability being reported as short-term borrowings
.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, Trustmark elected to measure all mortgage loans purchased or originated which are held for sale under the fair value option permitted by FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” The fair value option election applies to mortgage LHFS purchased or originated by Trustmark on or after October 1, 2014. The fair value option election does not apply to GNMA optional repurchase loans. Trustmark elected the fair value option for its mortgage LHFS in order to report these loans at fair value without having to apply hedge accounting provisions.
As a result of this election, Trustmark unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the mortgage LHFS are reported as noninterest income in mortgage banking, net. Prior to this election, Trustmark deferred the upfront loan fees and costs related to the mortgage LHFS. In general, the mortgage LHFS are only retained on Trustmark’s balance sheet for 30 to 45 days before they are pooled and sold in the secondary market. The difference between deferring these loan fees and costs until the loans are sold and recognizing them in earnings as incurred as required by FASB ASC Topic 825-10 is considered immaterial. Therefore, Trustmark has chosen to continue to defer the upfront loan fees and costs. There was no impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements on the date of the election.
Loans Held for Investment (LHFI)
LHFI are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, adjusted for the net amount of direct costs and nonrefundable loan fees associated with lending. The net amount of nonrefundable loan origination fees and direct costs associated with the lending process, including commitment fees, is deferred and accreted to interest income over the lives of the loans using a method that approximates the interest method. Interest on LHFI is accrued and recorded as interest income based on the outstanding principal balance.
Trustmark has established acceptable ranges or limits for specific types of credit. Within these categories, the overall risk of individual credits is controlled through maximum advance rates and repayment periods and minimum debt service coverage ratios as defined in policy as well as continuous monitoring of these measures throughout the life of the loan. These policy directives are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to reflect underwriting considerations deemed essential to maintaining a sound loan portfolio. It is recognized that not all extensions of credit will fully comply with policy limitations. Accordingly, such exceptions to loan policy must be justified by other mitigating features of the loan and must receive proper approval as designated in the loan policy.
Past due LHFI are loans contractually past due 30 days or more as to principal or interest payments.
A LHFI is classified as nonaccrual, and the accrual of interest on such loan is discontinued, when the contractual payment of principal or interest becomes 90 days past due on commercial credits and 120 days past due on non-business purpose credits. In addition, a credit may be placed on nonaccrual at any other time Management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest according to the contractual terms, even though the loan is currently performing. A LHFI may remain in accrual status if it is in the process of collection and well secured. When a LHFI is placed in nonaccrual status, unpaid interest is reversed against interest income. Interest received on nonaccrual LHFI is applied against principal. LHFI are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current or has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
A LHFI is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Trustmark will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If a LHFI is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
All classes of commercial LHFI of $500,000 or more, which are classified as nonaccrual, are identified for impairment analysis (specifically evaluated impaired LHFI). Consistent with the policy for nonaccrual LHFI,
interest payments on impaired LHFI are applied to principal. Impaired LHFI, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
Commercial purpose LHFI are charged off when a determination is made that the loan is uncollectible and continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. Consumer LHFI secured by 1-4 family residential real estate are generally charged off or written down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell at no later than 180 days of delinquency. Non-real estate consumer purpose LHFI, including both secured and unsecured loans, are generally charged off by 120 days of delinquency. Consumer revolving lines of credit and credit card debt are generally charged off on or prior to 180 days of delinquency.
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 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 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 FASB 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 LHFI and other consumer LHFI. Within these pools, 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.
The historical net loss percentages are calculated using a 12 quarter look-back period, which is the period that best reflects losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The look-back period sufficiently captures the volatility in net charge-off rates from quarter to quarter and affects the qualitative adjustments that are required to capture the differences in conditions between the current period and those that were prevailing during the look-back period.
The loss emergence period refers to the period of time between the events that trigger a loss and charge-off of that loss. Losses are usually not immediately known and determining the loss event can be difficult. It takes time for the borrower and extent of loss to be identified and determined. Management may not be aware that the loss event has occurred until the borrower exhibits the inability to pay or other evidence of credit deterioration. Based upon its analysis, Trustmark has determined that a one year loss emergence period is appropriate.
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 five key 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 exceptions relating to collateral, underwriting and financial documentation; credit 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 qualitative factor allocation matrices which are used to establish an appropriate allowance.
Other factors included in the qualitative risk valuation allowance include consideration of: commercial loan facility risk that embodies the nature, frequency and duration of the repayment structure as it pertains to the actual source of loan repayment, commercial nonaccrual loans under $500 thousand which are below the threshold to perform an impairment analysis, and independent consumer credit bureau scores that are monitored to identify shifts in risk that are represented in the retail portfolio. These factors are also evaluated on a quarterly basis with the exception of the commercial nonaccrual loans under $500 thousand which are evaluated monthly.
Acquired Loans
Acquired loans are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquired loans are recorded at their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. The 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.
Trustmark 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 Trustmark would 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, and commercial leases are excluded from acquired impaired loan accounting requirements.
For acquired impaired loans, Trustmark (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 undiscounted 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. Under the effective yield method, the accretable yield is recorded as an accretion of interest income over the life of the loan at the market interest rate.
Trustmark aggregates certain acquired loans into pools of loans with common credit risk characteristics such as loan type and risk rating. To establish accounting pools of acquired loans, loans are first categorized by similar purpose, collateral and geographic region. Within each category, loans are further segmented by ranges of risk determinants observed at the time of acquisition. For commercial loans, the primary risk determinant is the risk rating as assigned by Trustmark. For consumer loans, the risk determinants include delinquency, delinquency history and FICO scores. Statistical comparison of the pools reflect that each pool is comprised of loans generally of similar characteristics, including loan type, loan risk and weighted average life. Each pool is then reviewed for similarity of the pool constituents, including standard deviation of purchase price, weighted average life and concentration of the largest loans. Loan pools are initially booked at the aggregate fair value of the loan pool constituents, based on the present value of Trustmark's expected cash flows from the loans. An acquired loan is removed from a pool of loans only if the loan is sold, foreclosed, payment is received in full satisfaction of the loan or the loan is fully charged off. The acquired loan is removed from the pool at the carrying value. If an individual acquired loan is removed from a pool of loans, the difference between its relative carrying amount and its cash, fair value of the collateral, or other assets received will be recognized as a gain or loss immediately in interest income on loans and would not affect the effective yield used to recognize the accretable yield on the remaining pool. Certain acquired loans are not pooled and are accounted for individually. Such loans are withheld from pools due to the inherent uncertainty of the timing and amount of their cash flows or because they are not a suitable similar constituent to the established pools.
As required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30, Trustmark 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 loan losses, acquired loans and the establishment of an allowance for loan losses, acquired loans. 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, Trustmark will reduce any remaining allowance for loan losses, acquired loans 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 impaired loans as well as the accretable yield. The increase in the accretable yield is recognized as interest income prospectively over the remaining life of the acquired impaired loans. 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.
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 are referred to as “covered loans” and are reported separately in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements. 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
Trustmark 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.” A 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 Trustmark 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.
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 flows of the covered loans and covered other real estate over those expected reduce the FDIC indemnification asset, and decreases in the cash flows of the covered loans and covered other real estate below those expected increase the FDIC indemnification asset. Increases and decreases to the FDIC indemnification asset are recorded as adjustments to noninterest income.
Write-downs of the FDIC indemnification asset resulting from improvements in expected cash flows and covered losses based on the re-estimation of acquired covered loans are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life or contractual FDIC agreement period of the acquired covered loan as a yield adjustment consistent with the associated acquired covered loan. All other valuation changes of the FDIC indemnification asset (i.e., pay-offs of acquired covered loans, sales of covered other real estate, and reductions of FDIC loss claims) are accounted for under the “collectibility method,” which recognized write-downs of the FDIC indemnification asset immediately in noninterest income.
Premises and Equipment, Net
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are up to thirty-nine years for buildings and three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. In cases where Trustmark has the right to renew the lease for additional periods, the lease term for the purpose of calculating amortization of the capitalized cost of the leasehold improvements is extended when Trustmark is “reasonably assured” that it will renew the lease. Depreciation and amortization expenses are computed using the straight-line method. Trustmark continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that such long-lived assets have become impaired. Measurement of any impairment of such long-lived assets is based on the fair values of those assets. There were no impairment losses on premises and equipment recorded during 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR)
Trustmark recognizes as assets the rights to service mortgage loans based on the estimated fair value of the MSR when loans are sold and the associated servicing rights are retained. Trustmark has elected to account for MSR at fair value.
The fair value of MSR is determined using discounted cash flow techniques benchmarked against third-party valuations. Estimates of fair value involve several assumptions, including the key valuation assumptions about market expectations of future prepayment rates, interest rates and discount rates which are provided by a third-party firm. Prepayment rates are projected using an industry standard prepayment model. The model considers other key factors, such as a wide range of standard industry assumptions tied to specific portfolio characteristics such as remittance cycles, escrow payment requirements, geographic factors, foreclosure loss exposure, VA no-bid exposure, delinquency rates and cost of servicing, including base cost and cost to service delinquent mortgages. Prevailing market conditions at the time of analysis are factored into the accumulation of assumptions and determination of servicing value.
Trustmark economically hedges changes in fair value of the MSR attributable to interest rates. See Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies, “Derivative Financial Instruments – Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments” for information regarding these derivative instruments.
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Trustmark accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business, is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis, which is October 1 for Trustmark, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment.
Identifiable intangible assets are acquired assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or legal rights or because the assets are capable of being sold or exchanged either on their own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Trustmark’s identifiable intangible assets primarily relate to core deposits, insurance customer relationships and borrower relationships. These intangibles, which have definite useful lives, are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives. In addition, these intangibles are evaluated annually for impairment or whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be reevaluated. Trustmark also purchased banking charters in order to facilitate its entry into the states of Florida and Texas. These identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line method over 20 years.
Other Real Estate
Other real estate 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. Valuation adjustments required at foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses.
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 existing other real estate specific reserve or to noninterest expense in ORE/Foreclosure expense if a reserve does not exist. Costs of operating and maintaining the properties as well as gains or losses on their disposition are also included in ORE/Foreclosure expense as incurred. Improvements made to properties are capitalized if the expenditures are expected to be recovered upon the sale of the properties.
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 initially recorded at its estimated fair value on the acquisition date based on an independent appraisal less estimated selling costs. Foreclosed covered loan collateral is transferred into covered other real estate at the collateral’s net realizable value. Covered other real estate is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC. Any subsequent valuation adjustments due to declines in fair value are charged to noninterest expense in ORE/Foreclosure expense and are mostly offset by other 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 ORE/Foreclosure expense with a corresponding charge to other noninterest income for the portion of the recovery that is due to the FDIC.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) of Atlanta Stock
Securities with limited marketability, such as stock in the FRB of Atlanta and the FHLB, are carried at cost. Trustmark’s investment
in member bank stock is included in other assets because these equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, which places them outside the scope of FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark’s investment in member bank stock totaled $44.1 million and $28.4 million, respectively. The carrying value of Trustmark’s member bank stock gave rise to no other-than-temporary impairment for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Insurance Commissions
Commission revenue is recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date the customer is billed, whichever is later. Trustmark also receives contingent commissions from insurance companies as additional incentive for achieving specified premium volume goals and/or the loss experience of the insurance placed by Trustmark. Contingent commissions from insurance companies are recognized throughout the calendar year using reasonable estimates that are continuously reviewed and revised to reflect current experience. Trustmark maintains reserves for commission adjustments and doubtful accounts receivable which were not considered significant at December 31, 2014 or 2013.
Wealth Management
Assets under administration held by Trustmark in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in the Trustmark’s consolidated balance sheets. Investment management and trust fee income is recorded on a cash basis, which because of the regularity of the billing cycles, approximates the accrual method, in accordance with industry practice.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Trustmark maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. Trustmark’s interest rate risk management strategy involves modifying the repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities so that changes in interest rates do not adversely affect the net interest margin and cash flows. Under the guidelines of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” all derivative instruments are required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities and carried at fair value on the balance sheet. The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in other assets and/or other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and in the net change in these financial statement line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as well as included in noninterest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Trustmark’s derivative instruments are subject to master netting agreements, and therefore, eligible for offsetting in the consolidated balance sheets. Trustmark has elected to not offset any derivative instruments in its consolidated balance sheets.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
As part of Trustmark’s risk management strategy in the mortgage banking area, derivative instruments such as forward sales contracts are utilized. 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.
The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the forward contracts and changes in the fair value of the loans designated as LHFS was recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net.
On October 1, 2014, Trustmark elected to account for its mortgage LHFS purchased or originated on or after the election date under the fair value option with unrealized gains and losses reported in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net. As a result of this election, the forward sales contracts no longer qualify as derivative instruments
designated as fair value hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815. Subsequent to the election, changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by changes in the fair value of LHFS. See Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies, “Loans Held for Sale (LHFS)” for information regarding the fair value option election.
During 2013, Trustmark entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on its junior subordinated debentures, with the objective of protecting the quarterly interest payments from the risk of variability of those payments resulting from changes in the three-month LIBOR interest rate for the five-year period beginning December 31, 2014 and ending December 31, 2019. This derivative instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge under FASB ASC Topic 815. Any
accumulated net after-tax gains related to effective cash flow hedge are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Any ineffective portion of the interest rate swap is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income for the relevant periods. Beginning December 31, 2014, the effective date of the interest rate swap, amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to this derivative will be reclassified to other interest expense as interest payments are made on Trustmark’s variable rate junior subordinated debentures.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments
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 economically hedges changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates. These transactions are considered freestanding derivatives that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting. These exchange-traded derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by 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.
Trustmark also utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate lock commitments in its mortgage banking area. Rate lock commitments are residential mortgage loan commitments with customers, which guarantee a specified interest rate for a specified time period. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of forward sales contracts.
Trustmark offers certain derivatives products directly to qualified commercial lending clients seeking to manage their interest rate risk. Trustmark economically hedges interest rate swap transactions executed with commercial lending clients by entering into offsetting interest rate swap transactions with institutional derivatives market participants. 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 are expected to substantially offset.
Income Taxes
Trustmark accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. Under the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 740, Trustmark accounts for deferred income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of Trustmark’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled and are presented net in the balance sheet in other assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
Trustmark accounts for the stock and incentive compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under this accounting guidance, fair value is established as the measurement objective in accounting for stock awards and requires the application of a fair value based measurement method in accounting for compensation cost, which is recognized over the requisite service period.

During the first quarter of 2014, Trustmark identified an error in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2013. Trustmark incorrectly reported its investment in bank-owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2013 as an operating activity instead of as an investing activity. During the third quarter of 2014, Trustmark identified an error in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Trustmark incorrectly reported its investments in tax credit and other partnerships as an operating activity instead of as an investing activity. The errors occurred in the reported Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and had no impact on the cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the affected, or any prior or subsequent, periods. The errors did not affect any reported amounts in any other component of Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements for the affected, or any prior or subsequent, periods. Trustmark has evaluated the impact of the errors in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 250-10, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” and deemed these changes immaterial to its consolidated financial statements taken as a whole
and no restatement of Trustmark’s previously filed consolidated financial statements was required. In addition, Management has identified the cause of the errors and taken steps to prevent a future reoccurrence.

Per Share Data
Trustmark accounts for per share data in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method. Trustmark has determined that its outstanding unvested stock awards and deferred stock units are not participating securities. Based on this determination, no change has been made to Trustmark’s current computation for basic and diluted EPS.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive stock awards outstanding during the period.

Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, Trustmark uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Trustmark has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities and default rates and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own determination about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety is classified is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Trustmark’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2014-14, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Residential Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).”
Issued in August 2014, ASU 2014-14 requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under the claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. ASU 2014-14 also provides that upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable would be measured based on the current amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered under the guarantee. The amendments of ASU 2014-14 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and may be applied using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method as described in ASU 2014-14. The adoption of ASU 2014-14 is not expected to have a material impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.”
Issued in June 2014, ASU 2014-11 changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting, and for repurchase financing arrangements requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. ASU 2014-11 also requires disclosures for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. ASU 2014-11 requires interim and annual disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings, which include a disaggregation of the gross obligation by class of collateral pledged; the remaining contractual tenor of the agreements; and a discussion of the potential risks associated with the agreements and the related collateral pledged, including obligations arising from a decline in the fair value of the collateral pledged and how those risks are managed. The accounting changes and disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as a sale in ASU 2014-11 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The disclosures for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings are required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Trustmark currently accounts for its repurchase agreements as secured borrowings; therefore, the adoption of ASU 2014-11 will be a change in presentation only for the newly required disclosures and will not have a material impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”
Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 will add FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and will supersede revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” as well as certain cost guidance in FASB ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” ASU 2014-09 provides a framework for revenue recognition that replaces the existing industry and transaction specific requirements under the existing standards. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. The model specifies that revenue should be recognized when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount in which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue should be recognized either over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance, or at a point in time, when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer. ASU 2014-09 provides that an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of non-financial assets that are not in a contract with a customer are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement in ASU 2014-09. The amendments of ASU 2014-09 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and may be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If the transition method of application is elected, the entity should
also provide the additional disclosures in reporting periods that include the date of initial application of (1) the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and (2) an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. Management is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements as well as the most appropriate method of application; however, regardless of the method of application selected, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-04, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).”
Issued in January 2014, ASU 2014-04 clarifies when an “in substance repossession or foreclosure” occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loans, such that all or a portion of the loan should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU 2014-04 states that a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The amendments of ASU 2014-04 also require interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The amendments of ASU 2014-04 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and may be applied using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method as described in ASU 2014-04. For Trustmark, the adoption of ASU 2014-04 will result in a change in presentation only for the newly required disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-01, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).”
Issued in January 2014, ASU 2014-01 permits reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects to elect to account for those investments using the “proportional amortization method” if certain conditions are met. Under this method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The decision to apply the proportional amortization method of accounting is an accounting policy decision and should be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments. ASU 2014-01 should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Trustmark currently accounts for its tax credit investments utilizing the equity method of accounting and does not have a significant amount of investments in qualified affordable housing projects that qualify for the low income housing tax credit. At this time, Trustmark does not intend to elect the proportional amortization method of accounting for its investments in low income housing tax credits; however, management will review any future investments in qualified affordable housing projects to determine if the investments meet the conditions required for using the proportional amortization method of accounting and make a decision regarding the accounting policy. The adoption of ASU 2014-01 is not expected to have a material impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).”
Issued in July 2013, ASU 2013-11 provides that an entity’s unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of its unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in its financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with one exception. The exception states that to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 applies prospectively for all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements on January 1, 2014, and the adoption did not have a material impact to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations
Somerville Bank & Trust Company
Immediately following the close of business on December 31, 2013, Trustmark National Bank (TNB), a subsidiary of Trustmark, completed its merger with Somerville Bank & Trust Company (Somerville), also a subsidiary of Trustmark, with TNB as the surviving entity in the merger. Somerville, headquartered in Somerville, Tennessee, provided banking services in the eastern Memphis metropolitan statistical area through five offices. At December 31, 2013, Somerville had total assets of $219.6 million. TNB and Somerville were both wholly owned subsidiaries of Trustmark; as such, the merger represented a business reorganization between affiliates under common control.
Oxford, Mississippi Branches
On July 26, 2013, TNB completed its acquisition of two branches of SOUTHBank, F.S.B. (SOUTHBank), located in Oxford, Mississippi. As a result of this acquisition, TNB assumed deposit accounts of approximately $11.7 million in addition to purchasing the two physical branch offices. The transaction was not material to Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements and was not considered a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805.
BancTrust Financial Group, Inc.
On February 15, 2013, Trustmark completed its merger with BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. (BancTrust), a 26-year-old bank holding company headquartered in Mobile, Alabama.
In accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement, the holders of BancTrust common stock received 0.125 of a share of Trustmark common stock for each share of BancTrust common stock in a tax-free exchange. Trustmark issued approximately 2.24 million shares of its common stock for all issued and outstanding shares of BancTrust common stock. The total value of the 2.24 million shares of Trustmark common stock issued to the BancTrust shareholders on the merger date was approximately $53.5 million, based on a closing stock price of $23.83 per share of Trustmark common stock on February 15, 2013. At closing, Trustmark repurchased the $50.0 million of BancTrust preferred stock and associated warrant issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program for approximately $52.6 million.
The merger with BancTrust was consistent with Trustmark’s strategic plan to selectively expand the Trustmark franchise. The merger provided Trustmark entry into more than 15 markets in Alabama and enhanced the Trustmark franchise in the Florida Panhandle.
This merger was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the merger date.
Trustmark recorded fair value adjustments based on the estimated fair value of certain acquired loans, premises and equipment, net and other real estate. During 2013, these measurement period adjustments resulted in a decrease in acquired noncovered loans of $6.8 million, a decrease in premises and equipment, net of $627 thousand, a decrease in other real estate of $2.6 million, an increase in the deferred tax asset of $3.4 million and an increase in goodwill of $6.3 million. Trustmark also recorded an adjustment to transfer $1.6 million of acquired property from premises and equipment, net to other real estate during 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, Trustmark recorded an additional measurement period adjustment that resulted in a $7.4 million decrease in goodwill with a corresponding increase in the deferred tax asset. These measurement period adjustments were presented on a retrospective basis, consistent with applicable accounting guidance. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the first quarter of 2014.
The statement of assets purchased and liabilities assumed in the BancTrust merger is presented below at their adjusted estimated fair values as of the merger date of February 15, 2013 ($ in thousands):

The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was $74.2 million, which was recorded as goodwill under FASB ASC Topic 805. The identifiable intangible assets acquired represent the core deposit intangible at fair value at the acquisition date. The core deposit intangible is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life, currently expected to be approximately 10 years.
Loans, excluding LHFS, acquired from BancTrust were evaluated under a fair value process involving various degrees of deterioration in credit quality since origination, and also for those loans for which it was probable at acquisition that Trustmark would not be able to collect all contractually required payments. These loans, with the exception of revolving credit agreements and leases, are referred to as acquired impaired loans and are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310-30. Refer to Note 6 – Acquired Loans for further information on acquired loans.
The operations of BancTrust are included in Trustmark’s operating results from February 15, 2013. Trustmark’s noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2013 included non-routine BancTrust transaction expenses totaling approximately $9.4 million (change in control and severance expense of $1.4 million included in salaries and benefits; professional fees, contract termination and other expenses of $7.9 million included in other expense).
Bay Bank & Trust Company
On March 16, 2012, Trustmark completed its merger with Bay Bank & Trust Co. (Bay Bank), a 76-year old financial institution headquartered in Panama City, Florida. Trustmark acquired all outstanding common stock of Bay Bank for approximately $22 million in cash and stock, comprised of $10 million in cash and the issuance of approximately 510 thousand shares of Trustmark common stock valued at $12 million. This merger was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the merger date. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the second quarter of 2012.

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. Initially, Trustmark recognized a bargain purchase gain of $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 and subsequently increased the bargain purchase gain by $881 thousand during the second quarter of 2012 as the fair values associated with the Bay Bank acquisition were finalized. The gain of $3.6 million recognized by Trustmark was considered a gain from a bargain purchase under FASB ASC Topic 805 and was included in other noninterest income for 2012. Included in noninterest expense for 2012 are non-routine Bay Bank transaction expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million (change in control and severance expense of $672 thousand included in salaries and benefits; contract termination and other expenses of $1.9 million included in other expense).
The identifiable intangible assets represent the core deposit intangible at fair value at the acquisition date. The core deposit intangible is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life, currently expected to be approximately 10 years.
Loans acquired from Bay Bank were evaluated under a fair value process involving various degrees of deterioration in credit quality since origination, and also for those loans for which it was probable at acquisition that Trustmark would not be able to collect all contractually required payments. These loans, with the exception of revolving credit agreements, are referred to as acquired impaired loans and are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310-30.
Fair Value of Acquired Financial Instruments
For financial instruments measured at fair value, Trustmark utilized Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of securities available for sale, time deposits (included in deposits above) and FHLB advances (shown as other borrowings above). Level 3 inputs were used to determine the fair value of acquired loans, identifiable intangible assets and other real estate.
The methodology and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities are as follows:
Securities Available for Sale
Estimated fair values for securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Acquired Loans
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.
Identifiable Intangible Assets
The fair value assigned to the identifiable intangible assets, in this case core deposit intangibles, represent the future economic benefit of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits in the acquisition compared to the cost of obtaining alternative funding from market sources.
Other Real Estate
Other real estate was initially recorded at its estimated fair value on the acquisition date based on similar market comparable valuations less estimated selling costs.
Time Deposits
Time deposits were valued by projecting expected cash flows into the future based on each account’s contracted rate and then determining the present value of those expected cash flows using current rates for deposits with similar maturities.
FHLB Advances
FHLB advances were valued by projecting expected cash flows into the future based on each advance’s contracted rate and then determining the present value of those expected cash flows using current rates for advances with similar maturities.
Please refer to Note 19 – Fair Value for more information on Trustmark’s classification of financial instruments based on valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
Note 3 – Cash and Due from Banks
Trustmark is required to maintain average reserve balances with the FRB of Atlanta based on a percentage of deposits. The average amounts of those reserves for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $75.6 million and $57.6 million, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, Trustmark reclassified approximately $1.099 billion of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities held to maturity. At the date of transfer, the net unrealized holding loss on the available for sale securities totaled approximately $46.6 million ($28.8 million, net of tax). The net unrealized holding loss is amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. At December 31, 2014, the net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying balance sheet totaled approximately $40.4 million ($24.9 million, net of tax).
During the fourth quarter of 2013, Trustmark sold $135.6 million of Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO) securities generating a net gain of $1.3 million. These securities were identified as available for sale and had been carried in the asset-backed securities and structured financial products line item in the table shown above. During the first quarter of 2014, Trustmark sold its remaining $25.9 million of CLO securities generating a net gain of $389 thousand.

The unrealized losses shown above are due to increases in market rates over the yields available at the time of purchase of the underlying securities and not credit quality. Because Trustmark does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that Trustmark will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, Trustmark does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014. There were no other-than-temporary impairments for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Trustmark does not have any loan concentrations other than those reflected in the preceding table, which exceed 10% of total LHFI. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark's geographic loan distribution was concentrated primarily in its five key market regions: Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of these loans and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of other real estate are susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas.
Related Party Loans
Trustmark makes loans in the normal course of business to certain executive officers and directors, including 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 collectability at the time of the transaction. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, total loans to these borrowers were $95.2 million and $89.0 million, respectively. During 2014, $643.1 million of new loan advances were made, while repayments were $636.5 million. In addition, decreases in loans due to changes in executive officers and directors totaled $372 thousand.
Nonaccrual/Impaired LHFI
At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of nonaccrual LHFI, which are individually evaluated for impairment, were $79.3 million and $65.2 million, respectively. Of this total, all commercial nonaccrual LHFI over $500 thousand were specifically evaluated for impairment (specifically evaluated impaired LHFI) using a fair value approach. The remaining nonaccrual LHFI were not specifically reviewed and not written down to fair value less cost to sell. No material interest income was recognized in the income statement on impaired or nonaccrual LHFI for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014.
All of Trustmark’s specifically evaluated impaired LHFI are collateral dependent loans. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, specifically evaluated impaired LHFI totaled $47.1 million and $31.6 million, respectively. These specifically evaluated impaired LHFI had a related allowance of $11.3 million and $2.2 million at the end of the respective periods. For collateral dependent loans, when a loan is deemed impaired the full difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the most likely estimate of the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell is charged off. Charge-offs related to specifically evaluated impaired LHFI totaled $137 thousand, $2.5 million and $13.1 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Provision expense on specifically evaluated impaired LHFI totaled $3.5 million for 2014, compared to provision recapture of $2.9 million for 2013 and provision expense of $1.1 million for 2012.
Fair value estimates for specifically evaluated impaired LHFI are derived from appraised values based on the current market value or as is value of the collateral, normally from recently received and reviewed appraisals. Current appraisals are ordered on an annual basis based on the inspection date. Appraisals are obtained from state-certified appraisers and are based on certain assumptions, which may include construction or development status and the highest and best use of the property. These appraisals are reviewed by Trustmark’s Appraisal Review Department to ensure they are acceptable, and values are adjusted down for costs associated with asset disposal. Once this estimated net realizable value has been determined, the value used in the impairment assessment is updated. At the time a specifically evaluated impaired LHFI is deemed to be impaired, the full difference between book value and the most likely estimate of the collateral’s net realizable value is charged off. As subsequent events dictate and estimated net realizable values decline, required reserves may be established or further adjustments recorded.
At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, nonaccrual LHFI not specifically reviewed for impairment and not written down to fair value less cost to sell, totaled $32.2 million and $33.7 million, respectively. In addition, these nonaccrual LHFI had allocated allowance for loan losses of $1.5 million and $3.0 million at the end of the respective periods.

A troubled debt restructuring (TDR) occurs when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, and for related economic or legal reasons, a concession is granted to the borrower that Trustmark would not otherwise consider. Whatever the form of concession that might be granted by Trustmark, Management’s objective is to enhance collectibility by obtaining more cash or other value from the borrower or by increasing the probability of receipt by granting the concession than by not granting it. Other concessions may arise from court proceedings or may be imposed by law. In addition, TDRs also include those credits that are extended or renewed to a borrower who is not able to obtain funds from sources other than Trustmark at a market interest rate for new debt with similar risk.
A formal TDR may include, but is not necessarily limited to, one or a combination of the following situations:
| · | Trustmark accepts a third-party receivable or other asset(s) of the borrower, in lieu of the receivable from the borrower. |
| · | Trustmark accepts an equity interest in the borrower in lieu of the receivable. |
| · | Trustmark accepts modification of the terms of the debt including but not limited to: |
| o | Reduction of (absolute or contingent) the stated interest rate to below the current market rate. |
| o | Extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. |
| o | Reduction (absolute or contingent) of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the note or other agreement. |
| o | Reduction (absolute or contingent) of accrued interest. |
Troubled debt restructurings are addressed in Trustmark’s loan policy, and in accordance with that policy, any modifications or concessions that may result in a TDR are subject to a special approval process which allows for control, identification, and monitoring of these arrangements. Prior to granting a concession, a revised borrowing arrangement is proposed which is structured so as to improve collectability of the loan in accordance with a reasonable repayment schedule with any loss promptly identified. It is supported by a thorough evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment under those revised terms. Other TDRs arising from renewals or extensions of existing debt are routinely identified through the processes utilized in the Problem Loan Committees and in the Credit Quality Review Committee. All TDRs are subsequently reported to the Director Credit Policy Committee on a quarterly basis and are disclosed in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and regulatory reporting guidance.
All loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring are evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Topic 310. Accordingly, Trustmark measures any loss on the restructuring in accordance with that guidance. A TDR in which Trustmark receives physical possession of the borrower’s assets, regardless of whether formal foreclosure or repossession proceedings take place, is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.” Thus, the loan is treated as if assets have been received in satisfaction of the loan and reported as a foreclosed asset.
A TDR may be returned to accrual status if Trustmark is reasonably assured of repayment of principal and interest under the modified terms and the borrower has demonstrated sustained performance under those terms for a period of at least six months. Otherwise, the restructured loan must remain on nonaccrual.
At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, LHFI classified as TDRs totaled $11.3 million, $14.8 million and $24.3 million, respectively, and were primarily comprised of credits with interest-only payments for an extended period of time which totaled $7.4 million, $11.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The remaining TDRs at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 resulted from real estate loans discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy that were not reaffirmed or from payment or maturity extensions.
For TDRs, Trustmark had a related loan loss allowance of $1.7 million at December 31, 2014, $1.6 million at December 31, 2013 and $4.3 million at December 31, 2012. LHFI classified as TDRs are charged down to the most likely fair value estimate less an estimated cost to sell for collateral dependent loans, which would approximate net realizable value. Specific charge-offs related to TDRs totaled $75 thousand, $816 thousand and $6.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The following table illustrates the impact of modifications classified as TDRs as well as those TDRs modified within the last 12 months for which there was a payment default during the period for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 ($ in thousands):

Trustmark’s TDRs have resulted primarily from allowing the borrower to pay interest-only for an extended period of time rather than from forgiveness. Accordingly, as shown above, these TDRs have a similar recorded investment for both the pre-modification and post-modification disclosure. Trustmark has utilized loans 90 days or more past due to define payment default in determining TDRs that have subsequently defaulted.

Credit Quality Indicators
Trustmark’s loan portfolio credit quality indicators focus on six key quality ratios that are compared against bank tolerances. The loan indicators are total classified outstanding, total criticized outstanding, nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets, delinquencies and net loan losses. Due to the homogenous nature of consumer loans, Trustmark does not assign a formal internal risk rating to each credit and therefore the criticized and classified measures are unique to commercial loans.
In addition to monitoring portfolio credit quality indicators, Trustmark also measures how effectively the lending process is being managed and risks are being identified. As part of an ongoing monitoring process, Trustmark grades the commercial portfolio as it relates to credit file completion and financial statement exceptions, underwriting, collateral documentation and compliance with law as shown below:
| · | Credit File Completeness and Financial Statement Exceptions – evaluates the quality and condition of credit files in terms of content, completeness and organization and focuses on efforts to obtain and document sufficient information to determine the quality and status of credits. Also included is an evaluation of the systems/procedures used to insure compliance with policy such as financial statements, review memos and loan agreements. |
| · | Underwriting – evaluates whether credits are adequately analyzed, appropriately structured and properly approved within requirements of bank loan policy. A properly approved credit is approved by adequate authority in a timely manner with all conditions of approval fulfilled. Total policy exceptions measure the level of underwriting and other policy exceptions within a loan portfolio. |
| · | Collateral Documentation – focuses on the adequacy of documentation to support the obligation, perfect Trustmark’s collateral position and protect collateral value. There are two parts to this measure: |
| ✓ | Collateral exceptions are where certain collateral documentation is either not present, is not considered current or has expired. |
| ✓ | 90 days and over collateral exceptions are where certain collateral documentation is either not present, is not considered current or has expired and the exception has been identified in excess of 90 days. |

Commercial Credits
Trustmark
has established a loan grading system that consists of ten individual credit risk grades (risk ratings) that encompass a range from loans where the expectation of loss is negligible to loans where loss has been established. The model is based on the risk of default for an individual credit and establishes certain criteria to delineate the level of risk across the ten unique credit risk grades. Credit risk grade definitions are as follows:
| · | Risk Rate (RR) 1 through RR 6 – Grades one through six represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risk measured by using a variety of credit risk criteria such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan. In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties. |
| · | Other Assets Especially Mentioned (special mention) - (RR 7) – a loan that has a potential weakness that if not corrected will lead to a more severe rating. This rating is for credits that are currently protected but potentially weak because of an adverse feature or condition that if not corrected will lead to a further downgrade. |
| · | Substandard (RR 8) – a loan that has at least one identified weakness that is well defined. This rating is for credits where the primary sources of repayment are not viable at the time of evaluation or where either the capital or collateral is not adequate to support the loan and the secondary means of repayment do not provide a sufficient level of support to offset the identified weakness. Loss potential exists in the aggregate amount of substandard loans but does not necessarily exist in individual loans. |
| · | Doubtful (RR 9) – a loan with an identified weakness that does not have a valid secondary source of repayment. Generally these credits have an impaired primary source of repayment and secondary sources are not sufficient to prevent a loss in the credit. The exact amount of the loss has not been determined at this time. |
| · | Loss (RR 10) – a loan or a portion of a loan that is deemed to be uncollectible. |
By definition, credit risk grades special mention (RR 7), substandard (RR 8), doubtful (RR 9) and loss (RR 10) are criticized loans while substandard (RR 8), doubtful (RR 9) and loss (RR 10) are classified loans. These definitions are standardized by all bank regulatory agencies and are generally equally applied to each individual lending institution. The remaining credit risk grades are considered pass credits and are solely defined by Trustmark.
Each commercial loan is assigned a credit risk grade that is an indication for the likelihood of default and is not a direct indication of loss at default. The loss at default aspect of the subject risk ratings is neither uniform across the nine primary commercial loan groups or constant between the geographic areas. To account for the variance in the loss at default aspects of the risk rate system, the loss expectations for each risk rating is integrated into the allowance for loan loss methodology where the calculated loss at default is allotted for each individual risk rating with respect to the individual loan group and unique geographic area. The loss at default aspect of the reserve methodology is calculated each quarter as a component of the overall reserve factor for each risk grade by loan group and geographic area.
To enhance this process, loans of a certain size that are rated in one of the criticized categories are routinely reviewed to establish an expectation of loss, if any, and if such examination indicates that the level of reserve is not adequate to cover the expectation of loss, a special reserve or impairment is generally applied.
The distribution of the losses is accomplished by means of a loss distribution model that assigns a loss factor to each risk rating (1 to 9) in each commercial loan pool. A factor is not applied to risk rate 10 as loans classified as Losses are not carried on Trustmark’s books over quarter-end as they are charged off within the period that the loss is determined.
The expected loss distribution is spread across the various risk ratings by the perceived level of risk for loss. The nine grade scale described above ranges from a negligible risk of loss to an identified loss across its breadth. The loss distribution factors are graduated through the scale on a basis proportional to the degree of risk that appears manifest in each individual rating and assumes that migration through the loan grading system will occur.
Each loan officer assesses the appropriateness of the internal risk rating assigned to their credits on an ongoing basis. Trustmark’s Asset Review area conducts independent credit quality reviews of the majority of Trustmark’s commercial loan portfolio concentrations both on the underlying credit quality of each individual loan portfolio as well as the adherence to Trustmark’s loan policy and the loan administration process. In general, Asset Review conducts reviews of each lending area within a six to eighteen month window depending on the overall credit quality results of the individual area.
In addition to the ongoing internal risk rate monitoring described above, Trustmark’s Credit Quality Review Committee meets monthly and performs a
review of all loans of $100 thousand or more that are either delinquent thirty days or more or on nonaccrual. This review includes recommendations regarding risk ratings, accrual status, charge-offs and appropriate servicing officer as well as evaluation of problem credits for determination of TDRs. Quarterly, the Credit Quality Review Committee reviews and modifies continuous action plans for all credits risk rated seven or worse for relationships of $100 thousand or more.
In addition, the Credit Quality Review Committee performs the following reviews on an annual basis:
| · | Residential real estate developments - a development project analysis is performed on all projects regardless of size. Performance of the development is assessed through an evaluation of the number of lots remaining, payout ratios, and loan-to-value ratios. Results are stress tested as to absorption and price of lots. This analysis is reviewed by each senior credit officer for the respective market to determine the need for any risk rate or accrual status changes. |
| · | Non-owner occupied commercial real estate - a cash flow analysis is performed on all projects with an outstanding balance of $1.0 million or more. In addition, credits are stress tested for vacancies and rate sensitivity. Confirmation is obtained that guarantor financial statements are current, taxes have been paid and there are no other issues that need to be addressed. This analysis is reviewed by each senior credit officer in the respective market to determine the need for any risk rate or accrual status changes. |
Consumer Credits
Consumer LHFI that do not meet a minimum custom credit score are reviewed quarterly by Management. The Retail Credit Review Committee reviews the volume and percentage of approvals that did not meet the minimum passing custom score by region, individual location, and officer. To assure that Trustmark continues to originate quality loans, this process allows Management to make necessary changes such as revisions to underwriting procedures and credit policies, or changes in loan authority to Trustmark personnel.
Trustmark monitors the levels and severity of past due consumer LHFI on a daily basis through its collection activities. A detailed assessment of consumer LHFI delinquencies is performed monthly at both a product and market level by delivery channel, which incorporates the perceived level of risk at time of underwriting. Trustmark also monitors its consumer LHFI delinquency trends by comparing them to quarterly industry averages.

Past Due LHFS
LHFS past due 90 days or more totaled $25.9 million and $21.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. LHFS past due 90 days or more are serviced loans eligible for repurchase, which are fully guaranteed by the GNMA. 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 during 2014. During 2013, Trustmark exercised its option to repurchase approximately $57.4 million delinquent loans serviced for GNMA. These loans were subsequently sold to a third party under different repurchase provisions. Trustmark retained the servicing for these loans, which are fully guaranteed by FHA/VA. As a result of this repurchase and sale, the loans were no longer carried as LHFS. The transaction resulted in a gain of $534 thousand, which was included in mortgage banking, net for 2013.
Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI
Trustmark’s allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI is based upon regulatory guidance from its primary regulator and GAAP. The methodology segregates the commercial purpose and commercial construction LHFI 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 five key market regions, Alabama, 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 450 risk rate factors for commercial loan types. The nine separate pools are shown below:
Commercial Purpose LHFI
| · | Real Estate – Owner-Occupied |
| · | Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied |
| · | Working Capital |
| · | Non-Working Capital |
| · | Land |
| · | Lots and Development |
| · | Political Subdivisions |
Commercial Construction LHFI
| · | 1 to 4 Family |
| · | Non-1 to 4 Family |
The quantitative factors of the allowance methodology reflect a twelve-quarter rolling average of net charge-offs by loan type within each key market region. This 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.
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.
During 2014, Trustmark revised the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI to incorporate an additional reserve component for commercial nonaccrual loans under $500 thousand. A LHFI is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Trustmark will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A formal impairment analysis is performed on all commercial nonaccrual LHFI with an outstanding balance of $500 thousand or more, and based upon this analysis LHFI are written down to net realizable value. The implementation of this commercial qualitative factor will allow Trustmark to address additional credit risk and loss potential due to inadequate source of repayment and collateral for commercial nonaccrual LHFI below the $500 thousand threshold for a formal analysis. For such loans, it is currently unlikely that full repayment of both principal and interest will be realized. An additional provision of approximately $822 thousand was recorded in 2014 as result of this revision to the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI.
During 2013, Trustmark revised the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI to incorporate a loan facility risk component. Loan facility risk embodies the nature, frequency and duration of the repayment structure as it pertains to the actual source of loan repayment. The underlying loan structure and nature of the credit either is risk neutral for standard structure or adds risk to the credit for any variance that represents additional credit risk from the standard structure. If the facility structure adds additional credit risk, qualitative reserves are added to individual loans based on their respective commercial loan pools. Factors considered in assigning facility risk include whether the principal is amortizing or not amortizing, revolving or not revolving, the payment frequency and the duration of the payment structure. An additional provision of approximately $1.6 million was recorded in 2013 as a result of this revision to the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial LHFI.
For each commercial loan portfolio, the loan facility risk factor’s percentage of the balances are summed and weighted based on commercial loan portfolio rankings. This weighted-average facility factor is then distributed over the nine primary loan pools within each key market region based on the ranking by risk of each.
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 change in quantitative methodology allowed Trustmark to more readily correlate portfolio risk to the current market environment as the impact of more recent experience is emphasized. This change also allowed for a greater sensitivity to current trends such as economic and performance changes, which included current loss profiles, and created a more accurate depiction of historical losses. Loans and lines of credit secured by junior liens on 1-4 family residential properties were 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 in 2012 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 LHFI 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. This qualitative methodology utilizes five separate factors made up of unique components that when weighted and combined produce an estimated level of reserve for each of the loan pools. The five qualitative factors include the following:
| · | Economic indicators |
| · | Performance trends |
| · | Management experience |
| · | Lending policy measures |
| · | Credit concentrations |
The risk measure for each factor is converted to a scale ranging from 0 (No risk) to 100 (High Risk) to ensure that the combination of such factors is proportional. The determination of the risk measurement for each qualitative factor is done for all markets combined. The resulting estimated reserve factor is then applied to each pool.
During 2014, Trustmark revised the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for consumer LHFI to incorporate the use of consumer credit bureau scores developed and provided by an independent third party. The credit bureau scores reflect the customer’s historical willingness and ability to service their debt. These credit bureau scores are monitored on an ongoing basis and represent a consumer’s credit payment history with all of their creditors including their repayment performance with Trustmark. The implementation of this consumer qualitative factor will allow Trustmark to better monitor shifts in risk that are represented in the retail portfolio and ensure that it is reflective in the allowance for loan loss calculation. An additional provision of approximately $1.4 million was recorded in 2014 as a result of this revision to the qualitative portion of the allowance for loan loss methodology for consumer LHFI.
The resulting ratings from the individual factors are weighted and summed to establish the weighted-average qualitative factor of a specific loan portfolio. This weighted-average qualitative factor is then applied over the six loan pools.

On February 15, 2013, Trustmark completed its merger with BancTrust. Loans acquired in the BancTrust merger were evaluated for evidence of credit deterioration since origination and collectability of contractually required payments. Trustmark elected to account for all loans acquired in the BancTrust merger as acquired impaired loans under
FASB ASC Topic 310-30 except for $153.9 million of acquired loans with revolving privileges and acquired commercial leases, which are outside the scope of the guidance.
While not all loans acquired from BancTrust exhibited evidence of significant credit deterioration,
accounting for these acquired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 would have materially the same result as the alternative accounting treatment. During the second and third quarters of 2013, Trustmark recorded fair value adjustments based on the estimated fair value of certain acquired loans which resulted in a net decrease in acquired noncovered loans totaling $6.8 million. The purchase price allocation for these loans was considered final as of December 31, 2013.
The following table presents the adjusted fair value of loans acquired as of the date of the BancTrust merger ($ in thousands):

As discussed in Note 5 - LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI, Trustmark
has established a loan grading system that consists of ten individual credit risk grades (risk ratings) that encompass a range from loans where the expectation of loss is negligible to loans where loss has been established. The model is based on the risk of default for an individual credit and establishes certain criteria to segregate the level of risk across the ten unique risk ratings. These credit quality measures are unique to commercial loans. Credit quality for consumer loans is based on individual credit scores, aging status of the loan and payment activity.
The tables below illustrate the carrying amount of acquired loans by credit quality indicator at December 31, 2014 and 2013 ($ in thousands):

In the determination of the fair value of MSR at the date of securitization, certain key economic assumptions are made. For instance, Trustmark considers the conditional prepayment rate (CPR), which is an estimated loan prepayment rate that uses historical prepayment rates for previous loans similar to the loans being evaluated, and the discount rate in determining the fair value of MSR. An increase in either the CPR 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. At December 31, 2014, the fair value of MSR included an assumed average prepayment speed of 11.51 CPR and an average discount rate of 10.29% compared to an assumed average prepayment speed of 9.72 CPR and an average discount rate of 10.52% at December 31, 2013. 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.
Mortgage Loans Sold/Serviced
During 2014, 2013 and 2012, Trustmark sold $913.5 million, $1.358 billion and $1.816 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans. Pretax gains on these sales were recorded to noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and totaled $10.8 million in 2014, $26.4 million in 2013 and $33.9 million in 2012. Trustmark receives annual servicing fee income approximating 0.34% of the outstanding balance of the underlying loans. Trustmark's mortgage loans serviced for others totaled $5.636 billion at December 31, 2014, compared with $5.461 billion at December 31, 2013. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to the assets of Trustmark for failure of debtors to pay when due.

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, loans that do not meet investor guidelines, loans in which the appraisal does not support the value and/or loans obtained through fraud by the borrowers or other third parties. Generally, putback requests may be made until the loan is paid in full. However, mortgage loans delivered to Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) on or after January 1, 2013 are subject to the Lending and Selling Representations and Warranties Framework updated in May 2014, which provides certain instances in which FNMA and FHLMC will not exercise their remedies, including a putback request, for breaches of certain selling representations and warranties, such as payment history and quality control review.
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 was 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 2009 through 2013 vintage mortgage loans. The total mortgage loan servicing putback expenses, included in other noninterest expense, incurred by Trustmark during 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $600 thousand, $1.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
Changes in the reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expense were as follows for the periods presented ($ in thousands):

During November 2013, Trustmark finalized its agreement with FNMA (the "Resolution Agreement") to resolve its existing and future repurchase and make whole obligations (collectively “Repurchase Obligations”) related to mortgage loans originated between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2008 and delivered to FNMA. Under the terms of the Resolution Agreement, Trustmark paid FNMA approximately $3.6 million with respect to the Repurchase Obligations. Trustmark believes that it was in its best interests to execute the Resolution Agreement in order to bring finality to the loss reimbursement exposure with FNMA for these years and reduce the resources spent on individual file reviews and defending loss reimbursement requests. The Repurchase Obligations were covered by Trustmark’s existing reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expenses.
Mortgage loans covered by the Resolution Agreement executed with FNMA are only subject to putback risk due to borrower fraud or systemic risk. Trustmark’s exposure to putback requests for loans sold to FNMA, which were originated after 2008, has improved as a result of industry-wide guidelines and process enhancements implemented since that time. Trustmark’s exposure to putback requests for loans sold to GNMA has improved as a result of declining delinquency ratios. Please refer to the “Past Due LHFS” section included in Note 5 – LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI for additional information regarding mortgage loans sold to GNMA.
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 servicing putback requests.

Trustmark's General Banking segment delivers a full range of banking services to consumer, corporate, small and middle-market businesses through its extensive branch network. During 2013, Trustmark recorded as goodwill $81.6 million from its merger with BancTrust and $150 thousand from its acquisition of two SOUTHBank branches. During 2014, Trustmark recorded a measurement period adjustment that decreased goodwill $7.4 million as a result of fair value adjustments to BancTrust’s assets and liabilities.
The Insurance segment includes TNB’s wholly-owned retail insurance subsidiary that offers a diverse mix of insurance products and services. Trustmark performed an impairment test of goodwill of reporting units in both the General Banking and Insurance segments during 2014, 2013 and 2012, which indicated that no impairment charge was required. Based on this analysis, Trustmark concluded that no impairment charge was required.

In both 2014 and 2013, Trustmark recorded $8.8 million of amortization of identifiable intangible assets and recorded $3.8 million in 2012. Trustmark estimates that amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets will be $7.6 million in 2015, $6.7 million in 2016, $5.7 million in 2017, $4.8 million in 2018 and $3.6 million in 2019. Fully amortized intangibles are excluded from the table above. Trustmark continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that identifiable intangible assets have become impaired. Measurement of any impairment of such identifiable intangible assets is based on the fair values of those assets. There were no impairment losses on identifiable intangible assets recorded during 2014, 2013 or 2012.

Note 11 – FDIC Indemnification Asset
On April 15, 2011, the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance closed the Heritage Banking Group (Heritage) and appointed the FDIC as receiver. On the same date, TNB entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC in which TNB agreed to assume all of the deposits and purchase essentially all of the assets of Heritage. The FDIC and TNB also entered into a loss-share agreement covering substantially all loans and all other real estate acquired. Under the loss-share agreement, the FDIC will cover 80% of covered loan and other real estate losses incurred. Pursuant to the provisions of the 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 $2.1 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Trustmark periodically re-estimates the expected cash flows on the acquired covered loans as required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30. For 2014, 2013 and 2012, this analysis resulted in improvements in the estimated future cash flows of the acquired covered loans that remain outstanding as well as lower expected remaining losses on those loans, primarily due to pay-offs of acquired covered loans. The pay-offs and improvements in the estimated expected cash flows of the acquired covered loans resulted in a reduction of the expected loss-share receivable from the FDIC. Reductions of the FDIC indemnification asset resulting from improvements in expected cash flows and covered losses based on the re-estimation of acquired covered loans are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life or contractual period of the acquired covered loan as a yield adjustment consistent with the associated acquired covered loan.
Other noninterest income for 2014 and 2013 included
$2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset, compared to $245 thousand of accretion during 2012. Amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset resulted from improvements in the expected cash flows and lower loss expectations.
During 2014 and 2013, other noninterest income also included a reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset of $800 thousand and $3.4 million, respectively, primarily resulting from loan pay-offs partially offset by loan pools of acquired covered loans with increased loss expectations. Other noninterest income for 2012 included a reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset of $3.7 million as a result of loan pay-offs, improved cash flow projections and lower loss expectations for loan pools of acquired covered loans.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, changes in the FDIC indemnification asset were as follows ($ in thousands):

All of the outstanding advances with the FHLB of Dallas had fixed rates and ranged from $50.0 million to $100.0 million with interest rates ranging from 0.10% to 0.18%. At December 31, 2014, these advances had a weighted average remaining maturity of 9 days with a weighted-average cost of 0.14%. Trustmark had no outstanding short-term FHLB advances with the FHLB of Dallas at December 31, 2013.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark had $1.678 billion and $1.768 billion, respectively, available in additional short and long-term borrowing capacity from the FHLB of Dallas.
At both December 31, 2014 and 2013,
Trustmark had two outstanding short-term FHLB advances
with the FHLB of Atlanta
. All of the advances with the FHLB of Atlanta were assumed through the BancTrust merger. The advances outstanding at December 31, 2014 had a weighted average remaining maturity of 297 days with a weighted-average cost of 3.96%. These advances had balances of $80 thousand and $6.5 million with fixed interest rates of 6.95% and 3.92%, respectively.

A fair market value adjustment of $178 thousand and $28 thousand associated with the BancTrust merger was included in the short-term FHLB advances at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Trustmark has a non-member status and no additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Atlanta.
Interest expense on short-term FHLB advances totaled $197 thousand in 2014, $6 thousand in 2013 and $81 thousand in 2012.
Long-Term FHLB Advances
At December 31, 2014, Trustmark had four outstanding long-term FHLB advances totaling $1.2 million with the FHLB of Atlanta, which were assumed through the BancTrust merger. All of the advances outstanding at December 31, 2014 had fixed rates and ranged from $23 thousand to $913 thousand with interest rates ranging from 0.08% to 6.50%. At December 31, 2014, these advances had a weighted average remaining maturity of 7.13 years with a weighted-average cost of 1.11%. At December 31, 2013, Trustmark had six outstanding long-term FHLB advances totaling $8.5 million with the FHLB of Atlanta, which were assumed through the BancTrust merger. All of the advances outstanding at December 31, 2013 had fixed rates and ranged from $30 thousand to $6.5 million with interest rates ranging from 0.08% to 6.95%. At December 31, 2013, these advances had a weighted average remaining maturity of 2.85 years with a weighted-average cost of 3.55%. A fair market value adjustment of $7 thousand and $412 thousand associated with the BancTrust merger was included in the long-term FHLB advances at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Trustmark’s
long-term FHLB advances are collateralized by securities held in safekeeping with the FHLB of Atlanta. Trustmark incurred $45 thousand of interest expense on long-term FHLB advances in 2014, compared to $57 thousand of interest expense in 2013 and no interest expense in 2012.
Subordinated Notes Payable
During 2006, TNB issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes (the Notes) due December 15, 2016. Proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used for general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amount of the Notes was $49.9 million. The Notes have not been, and are not required to be, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 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, as amended. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.673% per annum from December 13, 2006, until the principal of the Notes has been paid in full. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2007, and through the date of maturity. 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. The Notes, which are not redeemable prior to maturity, qualify as Tier 2 capital for both TNB and Trustmark. Because the Notes now have a remaining maturity of more than one year, but less than two years, only 20% of the remaining balance qualified as Tier 2 capital for both TNB and Trustmark at December 31, 2014. After December 15, 2015, no portion of the Notes will qualify as Tier 2 capital.
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
On August 18, 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, are redeemable at Trustmark’s option and bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.72%. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, these trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase $61.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Trustmark’s junior subordinated debentures.
The debentures were issued pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated August 18, 2006, between Trustmark, as issuer, and Wilmington Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. Like the trust preferred securities, the debentures bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.72% and mature on September 30, 2036. The debentures may be redeemed at Trustmark’s option at any time. The interest payments by Trustmark will be used to pay the quarterly distributions payable by the Trust to the holder of the trust preferred securities. However, so long as no event of default has occurred under the debentures, Trustmark may defer interest payments on the debentures (in which case the Trust will also defer distributions otherwise due on the trust preferred securities) for up to 20 consecutive quarters.
The debentures are subordinated to the prior payment of any other indebtedness of Trustmark that, by its terms, is not similarly subordinated. The trust preferred securities are recorded as a long-term liability on Trustmark’s balance sheet; however, for regulatory purposes the trust preferred securities are treated as Tier 1 capital under rulings of the Federal Reserve Board, Trustmark’s primary federal regulatory agency.
Trustmark also entered into a Guarantee Agreement, dated August 18, 2006, pursuant to which it has agreed to guarantee the payment by the Trust of distributions on the trust preferred securities and the payment of principal of the trust preferred securities when due, either at maturity or on redemption, but only if and to the extent that the Trust fails to pay distributions on or principal of the trust preferred securities after having received interest payments or principal payments on the junior subordinated debentures from Trustmark for the purpose of paying those distributions or the principal amount of the trust preferred securities.
As defined in applicable accounting standards, the Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trustmark, is considered a variable interest entity for which Trustmark is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of the Trust are not included in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, total assets for the Trust totaled $61.9 million, resulting from the investment in junior subordinated debentures issued by Trustmark. Liabilities and shareholder’s equity for the Trust also totaled $61.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, resulting from the issuance of trust preferred securities in the amount of $60.0 million as well as $1.9 million in common securities issued to Trustmark. During 2014, net income for the Trust equaled $36.8 thousand resulting from interest income from the junior subordinated debt securities issued by Trustmark to the Trust, compared with net income of $37.6 thousand during 2013 and $41.3 thousand during 2012. Dividends issued to Trustmark by the Trust during 2014 totaled $36.8 thousand, compared to $37.6 thousand during 2013 and $41.3 thousand during 2012.

Trustmark has evaluated the need for a valuation allowance and, based on the weight of the available evidence, has determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized due to limitations on the deductibility of built in losses in future years. A valuation allowance, which was created as a result of the BancTrust merger in 2013 and reduced in 2014 as a result of measurement period adjustments, has been established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized in future years. For additional information regarding the merger with BancTrust and the measurement period adjustments recorded, see Note 2 – Business Combinations located elsewhere in this report.

Trustmark does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Trustmark maintains a noncontributory tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan (Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan), in which substantially all associates employed prior to 2007 participate. 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. Benefit accruals under the plan were frozen during 2009, with the exception of certain associates covered through plans obtained by acquisitions that were subsequently merged into the Trustmark plan. Associates have not earned additional benefits, except for interest as required by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, since the plan was frozen. Current and former associates who participate in the plan retain their right to receive benefits that accrued before the plan was frozen.
As a result of the BancTrust merger on February 15, 2013, Trustmark became the sponsor of the Retirement Plan for Employees of BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. (BancTrust Pension Plan),
a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan, which was frozen prior to the
merger date. On January 28, 2014, Trustmark's Board of Directors authorized the termination of the BancTrust Pension Plan effective as of April 15, 2014.
The IRS has been asked to review the BancTrust Pension Plan’s tax qualification at its termination, and it is anticipated that the IRS will issue a favorable determination letter with respect to the plan’s termination once its review is complete. In addition, as required by law, a termination notice has been filed with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), and it is not anticipated that the PBGC will raise any issues with respect to the plan’s termination. During 2014, the assets of the BancTrust Pension plan were held in trust and distributed in conjunction with the plan termination. All assets of the BancTrust Pension Plan were distributed as of December 31, 2014. Benefits that were not paid to participants were annuitized under annuity contracts. As a result of the termination of the plan, Trustmark recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million during 2014.

The strategic objective of the investments of the assets in the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan is capital growth with moderate income. The qualified defined benefit pension plan is managed on a total return basis with the return objective set as a reasonable actuarial rate of return on plan assets net of investment management fees. Moderate risk is assumed given the average age of plan participants and the need to meet the required rate of return. Equity and fixed income securities are utilized to allow for capital appreciation while fully diversifying the portfolio with more conservative fixed income investments. The target asset allocation range for the portfolio is 0-10% Cash and Cash Equivalents, 10-30% Fixed Income, 30-55% Domestic Equity, 10-30% International Equity and 0-20% Other Investments. Changes in allocations are a result of tactical asset allocation decisions and fall within the aforementioned percentage range for each major asset class.
Trustmark selects the expected long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption in consultation with its investment advisors and actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed, especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation), for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust and for the trust itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience that may not continue over the measurement period, with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions.
Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further, solely for this purpose, the qualified defined benefit pension plans are assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period in which assets are invested. However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost).
Fair Value Measurements
At this time, Trustmark presents no fair values that are derived through internal modeling. Should positions requiring fair valuation arise that are not relevant to existing methodologies, Trustmark will make every reasonable effort to obtain market participant assumptions, or independent evaluation.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the qualified defined benefit pension plans’ assets measured at fair value at December 31, 2014 and 2013 ($ in thousands):

There have been no changes in the methodologies used in estimating the fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2014. The methodology and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair values presented above are as follows:
| · | Money market fund approximates fair value due to its immediate maturity. |
| · | Fixed income hedge fund is valued in accordance with the valuation provided by the general partner of the underlying partnership. |
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the qualified defined benefit pension plans believe their valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
Contributions
The range of potential contributions to Trustmark’s qualified defined benefit pension plans is determined annually by the plans’ actuary in accordance with applicable IRS rules and regulations. Trustmark's policy is to fund amounts that are sufficient to satisfy the annual minimum funding requirements and are deductible for federal income tax purposes. The actual amount of the contribution is determined annually based on the plans’ funded status and return on plan assets as of the measurement date, which is December 31.
For the plan year ended December 31, 2013, Trustmark made minimum required contributions to the Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan of $2.1 million.
For the plan year ending December 31, 2014, the minimum required contribution for Trustmark’s
Capital Accumulation Plan
was expected to be $1.8 million prior to the passage of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act (HATFA). Trustmark contributed approximately $1.0 million to the
Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan
prior to the passage of HATFA. HATFA extends the pension funding relief for several more years and was mandatory for 2014. As a result of HATFA, there was no minimum required contribution for the plan year ending December 31, 2014. Therefore, no additional contributions were made during 2014. For the plan year ending December 31, 2015, Trustmark’s minimum required contribution to the
Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan is expected to be zero; however, Management and the Board of Directors will monitor the plan throughout 2015 to determine any additional funding requirements by the plan’s measurement date.
A contribution of $334 thousand was required during 2014 for the BancTrust Pension Plan in order to complete the plan termination. Since the plan has terminated, there will be no additional contributions required in the future.

Supplemental Retirement Plans
Trustmark maintains a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan covering directors who elected 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 may be used to fund future payments under the plan. The measurement date for the plan is December 31. As a result of the BancTrust merger on February 15, 2013, Trustmark became the administrator of an additional nonqualified supplemental retirement plan, for which the plan benefits were frozen prior to the merger date.

Other Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plan
Trustmark provides associates with a self-directed 401(k) retirement plan that allows associates to contribute a percentage of base pay, within limits provided by the Internal Revenue Code and accompanying regulations, into the plan. Trustmark matches 100% of associate contributions to the plan based on the amount of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. Associates may become eligible to make elective deferral contributions the first of the month following 30 days of employment. Eligible associates must complete one year of service in order to vest in Trustmark’s matching contributions. Trustmark's contributions to this plan were $6.7 million in 2014, $6.8 million in 2013 and $5.7 million in 2012.
Note 16 – Stock and Incentive Compensation Plans
Trustmark has granted stock and incentive compensation awards subject to the provisions of the 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan) and the 2005 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2005 Plan). New awards have not been issued under the 1997 Plan since it was replaced by the 2005 Plan. At December 31, 2014, no awards remain outstanding under the 1997 Plan.
The 2005 Plan is designed to provide flexibility to Trustmark regarding its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of key associates and directors. The 2005 Plan allows Trustmark to make grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units to key associates and directors. At December 31, 2014, the maximum number of shares of Trustmark’s common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan was 5,466,172 shares.

Stock Option Grants
Stock option awards under the 1997 Plan and the 2005 Plan were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Trustmark’s stock on the date of grant, and vested equally in annual increments. Compensation expense related to stock options was fully recognized during 2011. Compensation expense for stock options granted under these plans was estimated using the fair value of each option granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was recognized on the straight-line method over the requisite service period. No stock options have been granted since 2006, when Trustmark began granting restricted stock awards exclusively.

Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies
Lending Related
Trustmark makes commitments to extend credit and issues standby and commercial letters of credit (letters of credit) in the normal course of business in order to fulfill the financing needs of its customers. The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit approximates the fair value of such financial instruments. These amounts are not material to Trustmark’s financial statements.
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. Because many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments. 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark had unused commitments to extend credit of $2.489 billion and $2.193 billion, respectively.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Trustmark to insure the performance of a customer to a third-party. A financial standby letter of credit irrevocably obligates Trustmark to pay a third-party beneficiary when a customer fails to repay an outstanding loan or debt instrument. A performance standby letter of credit irrevocably obligates Trustmark to pay a third-party beneficiary when a customer fails to perform some contractual, nonfinancial obligation. When issuing letters of credit, Trustmark uses essentially the same policies regarding credit risk and collateral which are followed in the lending process. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for letters of credit was $132.8 million and $143.2 million, respectively. These amounts consist primarily of commitments with maturities of less than three years, which have an immaterial carrying value. Trustmark holds collateral to support standby letters of credit when deemed necessary. As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of collateral held was $31.5 million.
Lease Commitments
Trustmark currently has operating lease commitments for banking premises and equipment, which expire from 2015 to 2029. It is expected that certain leases will be renewed, or equipment replaced, as leases expire. Rental expense totaled $8.5 million in 2014, $8.4 million in 2013 and $7.4 million in 2012.
At December 31, 2014, future minimum rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows ($ in thousands):

Legal Proceedings
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 TNB’s motion to dismiss. In August 2010, the court authorized and approved the formation of an Official Stanford Investors Committee (“OSIC”) 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 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. In July 2013, all defendants (including TNB) filed motions to dismiss the OSIC’s claims. The court has not yet ruled on TNB’s motion to dismiss the OSIC’s claims.
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.
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 was 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. Both of those cases have now been dismissed pursuant to a court-approved class action settlement. The period has ended in which any party could appeal the order approving the settlement.
The settlement of $4.0 million, or $2.5 million net of taxes, was included in other noninterest expense during 2013. The Settlement Administrator has begun distributing the settlement funds. The settlement resolved potential claims of more than 100,000 class members. A total of sixteen customers excluded themselves from the class action settlement. None of those customers have subsequently asserted any claim or made demands on TNB due to overdraft or non-sufficient funds fees.
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 loss in any such case is not probable at this time, and thus no accrual is required under FASB ASC Topic 450-20, “Loss Contingencies.”
Note 18
–
Shareholders' Equity
Regulatory Capital
Trustmark and TNB are subject to minimum risk-based capital and leverage capital requirements, which are administered by the federal bank regulatory agencies. These capital requirements, as defined by federal regulations, involve quantitative and qualitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet instruments. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of Trustmark and TNB. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark and TNB exceeded all applicable minimum capital standards for the parent company and its primary banking subsidiary. In addition, TNB met applicable regulatory guidelines to be considered well-capitalized at December 31, 2014. To be categorized in this manner, TNB maintained minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital 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, 2014, which Management believes have affected Trustmark’s or TNB's present classification. As of January 1, 2015, Trustmark and TNB were subject to revised capital requirements as described in the section captioned “Supervision and Regulation - Capital Adequacy” included in Part I. Item 1. – Business, located elsewhere in this report. Management believes that Trustmark and TNB are considered well-capitalized under these revised standards.

Dividends on Common Stock
Dividends paid by Trustmark are substantially funded from dividends received from TNB. 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 2015 approximately $114.3 million plus its net income for that year to pay as dividends.

Note 19
–
Fair Value
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The methodologies Trustmark uses in determining the fair values are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected upon exchange of the position in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The predominant portion of assets that are stated at fair value are of a nature that can be valued using prices or inputs that are readily observable through a variety of independent data providers. The providers selected by Trustmark for fair valuation data are widely recognized and accepted vendors whose evaluations support the pricing functions of financial institutions, investment and mutual funds, and portfolio managers. Trustmark has documented and evaluated the pricing methodologies used by the vendors and maintains internal processes that regularly test valuations for anomalies.
Trustmark utilizes an independent pricing service to advise it on the carrying value of the securities available for sale portfolio. As part of Trustmark’s procedures, the price provided from the service is evaluated for reasonableness given market changes. When a questionable price exists, Trustmark investigates further to determine if the price is valid. If needed, other market participants may be utilized to determine the correct fair value. Trustmark has also reviewed and confirmed its determinations in thorough discussions with the pricing source regarding their methods of price discovery.
Mortgage loan commitments are valued based on the securities prices of similar collateral, term, rate and delivery for which the loan is eligible to deliver in place of the particular security. Trustmark acquires a broad array of mortgage security prices that are supplied by a market data vendor, which in turn accumulates prices from a broad list of securities dealers. Prices are processed through a mortgage pipeline management system that accumulates and segregates all loan commitment and forward-sale transactions according to the similarity of various characteristics (maturity, term, rate, and collateral). Prices are matched to those positions that are deemed to be an eligible substitute or offset (i.e., “deliverable”) for a corresponding security observed in the market place.
Trustmark estimates fair value of MSR through the use of prevailing market participant assumptions and market participant valuation processes. This valuation is periodically tested and validated against other third-party firm valuations.
Trustmark obtains the fair value of interest rate swaps from a third-party pricing service that uses an industry standard discounted cash flow methodology. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. In adjusting the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, Trustmark has considered any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, Trustmark made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of these derivative financial instruments, which are subject to master netting agreements, on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Trustmark has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swaps offered to qualified commercial borrowers fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, while the credit valuation adjustments associated with these derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. Trustmark has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps and has determined that the credit valuation adjustment is not significant to the overall valuation of these derivatives. As a result, Trustmark classifies its interest rate swap valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Trustmark also 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. Fair values of these derivative instruments are determined from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets therefore allowing them to be classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, Trustmark utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate lock commitments in its mortgage banking area which lack observable inputs for valuation purposes resulting in their inclusion in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
At this time, Trustmark presents no fair values that are derived through internal modeling. Should positions requiring fair valuation arise that are not relevant to existing methodologies, Trustmark will make every reasonable effort to obtain market participant assumptions, or independent evaluation.

Trustmark may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Assets at December 31, 2014, which have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, include impaired LHFI. Loans for which it is probable Trustmark will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Impaired LHFI have been determined to be collateral dependent and assessed using a fair value approach. Specific allowances for impaired LHFI are based on comparisons of the recorded carrying values of the loans to the present value of the estimated cash flows of these loans at each loan’s original effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral or the observable market prices of the loans. Fair value estimates begin with appraised values based on the current market value or as-is value of the property being appraised, normally from recently received and reviewed appraisals. Appraisals are obtained from state-certified appraisers and are based on certain assumptions, which may include construction or development status and the highest and best use of the property. These appraisals are reviewed by Trustmark’s Appraisal Review Department to ensure they are acceptable. Appraised values are adjusted down for costs associated with asset disposal. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark had outstanding balances of $47.1 million in impaired LHFI that were specifically identified for evaluation and written down to fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell based on the fair value of the collateral or other unobservable input compared to $31.6 million at December 31, 2013. These specifically evaluated impaired LHFI are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Impaired LHFI are periodically reviewed and evaluated for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly based on the same factors identified above.
Please refer to Note 2 – Business Combinations, for financial assets and liabilities acquired, which were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP.
Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities
Certain nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.
Other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, 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. In the determination of fair value subsequent to foreclosure, Management also considers other factors or recent developments, such as changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and anticipated sales values considering plans for disposition, which could result in an adjustment to lower the collateral value estimates indicated in the appraisals. At December 31, 2014, Trustmark's geographic other real estate distribution was concentrated primarily in its five key market regions: Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. The ultimate recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, is susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas. Periodic revaluations are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since assumptions are used that may not be observable in the market.
Certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, are remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value of a foreclosed asset, upon initial recognition, is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on adjusted observable market data. Foreclosed assets measured at fair value upon initial recognition totaled $37.4 million (utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs) during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with $80.3 million for the same period in 2013. Foreclosed assets measured at fair value upon initial recognition for the year ended December 31, 2013, included $40.1 million of other real estate acquired from BancTrust. In connection with the measurement and initial recognition of the foregoing foreclosed assets, Trustmark recognized charge-offs of the allowance for loan losses totaling $13.9 million and $11.4 million for 2014 and 2013, respectively. Other than foreclosed assets measured at fair value upon initial recognition, $48.7 million of foreclosed assets were remeasured during 2014 requiring write-downs of $7.7 million to reach their current fair values compared to $53.8 million of foreclosed assets were remeasured during 2013, requiring write-downs of $6.4 million.

FASB ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodology and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair values presented above are as follows:
In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are generally based on estimates using present value techniques. Trustmark’s premise in present value techniques is to represent the fair values on a basis of replacement value of the existing instrument given observed market rates on the measurement date. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates for those assets or liabilities cannot be necessarily substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in immediate settlement of the instruments. The estimated fair value of financial instruments with immediate and shorter-term maturities (generally 90 days or less) is assumed to be the same as the recorded book value. All nonfinancial instruments, by definition, have been excluded from these disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of Trustmark.
Cash and Short-Term Investments
The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks and short-term investments (federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements) approximate fair values due to their immediate and shorter-term maturities.
Securities Held to Maturity
Estimated fair values for securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Net LHFI
The fair values of net LHFI are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For variable rate LHFI that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values of certain mortgage LHFI, such as 1-4 family residential properties, are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values of other types of LHFI are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
The processes for estimating the fair value of net LHFI described above do not represent an exit price under FASB ASC Topic 820 and such an exit price could potentially produce a different fair value estimate at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Net Acquired Loans
The fair value of net acquired loans is based on estimates of future loan cash flows and appropriate discount rates, which incorporate Trustmark’s assumptions about market funding cost and liquidity premium. The estimates of future loan cash flows are determined using Trustmark’s assumptions concerning the amount and timing of principal and interest payments, prepayments and credit losses.
FDIC Indemnification Asset
The fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows based on market rates observed at the time of acquisition.
Deposits
The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, NOW accounts, MMDA products and savings accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand, which is the carrying value. Fair values for certificates of deposit are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.
Short-Term Liabilities
The carrying amounts for federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings, including short-term FHLB advances, approximate their fair values.
Long-Term FHLB Advances
FHLB advances were valued by projecting expected cash flows into the future based on each advance’s contracted rate and then determining the present value of those expected cash flows using current rates for advances with similar maturities.
Subordinated Notes
The fair value of the subordinated notes equals quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, the fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar subordinated notes.
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
The fair value of the junior subordinated debt securities equals quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, the fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar junior subordinated debt securities.
Fair Value Option
Trustmark has elected to account for its mortgage LHFS purchased or originated on or after October 1, 2014 under the fair value option with interest income on these LHFS reported in interest and fees-LHFI and LHFS. The fair value of the mortgage LHFS is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan. The mortgage LHFS are actively managed and monitored and certain market risks of the loans may be mitigated through the use of derivatives. These derivative instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net. The changes in the fair value of the LHFS are largely offset by changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2014, $2.0 million was recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net for changes in the fair value of the LHFS accounted for under the fair value option. Election of the fair value option allows Trustmark to reduce the accounting volatility that would otherwise result from the asymmetry created by accounting for the financial instruments at the lower of cost or fair value and the derivatives at fair value. The fair value option election does not apply to the GNMA optional repurchase loans.
The following table provides information about the fair value and the contractual principal outstanding of the LHFS accounted for under the fair value options as of December 31, 2014 ($ in thousands):

Note 20 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
As part of Trustmark’s risk management strategy in the mortgage banking area, derivative instruments such as forward sales contracts are utilized. Trustmark’s obligations under forward sales contracts consist of commitments to deliver mortgage loans, originated and/or purchased, in the secondary market at a future date. On October 1, 2014, Trustmark elected to account for its mortgage LHFS under the fair value option. As a result of this election, the forward sales contracts no longer qualify as derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815. Prior to this election, the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the forward sales contracts and changes in the fair value of the loans designated as loans held for sale was recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net.
Subsequent to the election, changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by changes in the fair value of LHFS.
Trustmark’s off-balance sheet obligations under these derivative instruments totaled $142.0 million at December 31, 2014, with a negative valuation adjustment of $1.0 million, compared to $155.8 million, with a positive valuation adjustment of $1.9 million as of December 31, 2013.
On April 4, 2013, Trustmark entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on junior subordinated debentures with a total notional amount of $60.0 million. The interest rate swap contract was designated as a derivative instrument in a cash flow hedge under FASB ASC Topic 815, with the objective of protecting the quarterly interest payments on Trustmark’s $60.0 million of junior subordinated debentures issued to Trustmark Preferred Capital Trust I throughout the five-year period beginning December 31, 2014 and ending December 31, 2019 from the risk of variability of those payments resulting from changes in the three-month LIBOR interest rate. Under the swap, which became effective on December 31, 2014, Trustmark will pay a fixed interest rate of 1.66% and receive a variable interest rate based on three-month LIBOR on a total notional amount of $60.0 million, with quarterly net settlements.
No ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge was recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2014. The accumulated net after-tax gain related to the effective cash flow hedge included in accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled $136 thousand at December 31, 2014 compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2013. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to this derivative are reclassified to other interest expense as interest payments are made on Trustmark’s variable rate junior subordinated debentures. During the next twelve months, Trustmark estimates that $747 thousand will be reclassified as an increase to other interest expense.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments
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 economically hedges changes in the fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates. These transactions are considered freestanding derivatives that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of these exchange-traded derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by changes in the fair value of MSR. The impact of this strategy resulted in a net positive ineffectiveness of $3.1 million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Trustmark also utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate lock commitments in its mortgage banking area. Interest rate lock commitments are residential mortgage loan commitments with customers, which guarantee a specified interest rate for a specified time period. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of forward sales contracts. Trustmark’s off-balance sheet obligations under these derivative instruments totaled $88.4 million at December 31, 2014, with a positive valuation adjustment of $1.3 million, compared to $58.5 million, with a positive valuation adjustment of $126 thousand as of December 31, 2013.
Trustmark offers certain derivatives products directly to qualified commercial lending clients seeking to manage their interest rate risk. Trustmark economically hedges interest rate swap transactions executed with commercial lending clients by entering into offsetting interest rate swap transactions with institutional derivatives market participants. 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 are expected to substantially offset. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $349.4 million related to this program, compared to $355.9 million as of December 31, 2013.
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
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, 2014, 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 $1.9 million compared to $508 thousand as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark had posted collateral with a market value of $1.0 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, 2014, 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, 2014 and 2013, Trustmark had entered into three risk participation agreements as a beneficiary with an aggregate notional amount of $19.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, Trustmark had entered into one risk participation agreement as a guarantor with an aggregate notional amount of $6.2 million, compared to none at December 31, 2013. The fair values of these risk participation agreements were immaterial at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Note 21 – Segment Information
Trustmark’s management reporting structure includes three segments: General Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance. General Banking is primarily responsible for all traditional banking products and services, including loans and deposits. General Banking also consists of internal operations such as Human Resources, Executive Administration, Treasury, Funds Management, Public Affairs and Corporate Finance. Wealth Management provides customized solutions for affluent customers by integrating financial services with traditional banking products and services such as money management, full-service brokerage, financial planning, personal and institutional trust and retirement services. Through Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance, Inc. (FBBI), a wholly owned subsidiary of TNB, Trustmark’s Insurance Division provides a full range of retail insurance products including commercial risk management products, bonding, group benefits and personal lines coverage. During the second quarter of 2014, Trustmark revised the composition of its operating segments by moving the Private Banking group from the Wealth Management Division to the General Banking Division as the result of a change in supervision of this group for segment reporting purposes. Prior period amounts presented below include reclassifications to conform to the current period presentation.
The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of Trustmark except for its internal allocations. Noninterest expenses for back-office operations support are allocated to segments based on estimated uses of those services. Trustmark measures the net interest income of its business segments with a process that assigns cost of funds or earnings credit on a matched-term basis. This process, called "funds transfer pricing", charges an appropriate cost of funds to assets held by a business unit, or credits the business unit for potential earnings for carrying liabilities. The net of these charges and credits flows through to the General Banking segment, which contains the management team responsible for determining the bank's funding and interest rate risk strategies.
The following table discloses financial information by reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 ($ in thousands):

Trustmark (parent company only) paid income taxes of approximately $13.7 million in 2014, $14.5 million in 2013 and $57.8 million in 2012. Trustmark paid no interest for the years 2014, 2013 or 2012.
There has been no change of accountants within the two-year period prior to December 31, 2014.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by Trustmark’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer and Principal Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of Trustmark’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. No changes were made to Trustmark’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Trustmark’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of Trustmark is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Trustmark’s internal control over financial reporting was designed under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (Principal Financial Officer) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992).
Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2014, Trustmark’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of Trustmark’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 was audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing on the following page.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Trustmark Corporation:
We have audited Trustmark Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
The Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Trustmark Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Trustmark Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, and our report dated March
2
, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
