Deposits totaled $15.5 billion at December 31, 2025, down $131.2 million, or 0.8%, from the prior quarter driven in part by a decrease in public fund deposits of $219.1 million. Year-over-year, deposits increased $391.6 million, or 2.6%, driven by growth in commercial and personal balances of $567.8 million, or 4.4%. Trustmark continues to maintain a strong liquidity position as loans HFI represented 88.2% of total deposits at year-end 2025.

The total provision for credit losses (loans HFI and off-balance sheet credit exposures) was $1.2 million in the fourth quarter compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter and $7.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses for loans HFI was a negative $550 thousand in the fourth quarter and was primarily attributable to positive credit migration partially offset by loan growth and changes in the macroeconomic forecast. The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $1.8 million in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by changes in the macroeconomic forecast and an increase in unfunded commitments partially offset by positive credit migration.

Allocation of Trustmark’s $157.1 million ACL on loans HFI represented 0.91% of commercial loans and 1.94% of consumer and home mortgage loans, resulting in an ACL to total loans HFI of 1.15% at December 31, 2025.
