Forward guidance

Wintrust expects a strong second quarter for mortgage banking production due to seasonal purchase demand offsetting an expected decline in refinance activity. The company also plans to deploy excess liquidity into earning assets and evaluate acquisition targets.

Tailwinds

  • Strong loan pipelines expected to drive continued loan growth.
  • Emphasis on growing franchise and gathering low-cost deposits for long-term value.
  • Deployment of excess liquidity expected to favorably impact net interest margin.
  • Second quarter of 2021 expected to be strong for mortgage banking production.
  • Commitment to supporting the community, including participation in PPP.

Headwinds

  • Significant net interest margin compression.
  • Potential impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, customers, and business.
  • Evaluation of operating expense base to enhance future profitability.
  • Diligent evaluation of acquisition targets to minimize dilution.
  • Monitoring and managing credit portfolio in the current environment.
