Forward guidance

Wintrust expects to maintain its net interest margin within a narrow range around current levels during the first quarter of 2024 and stay relatively stable for the remainder of 2024, depending on the pace and magnitude of potential interest rate changes. The combination of balance sheet growth and a stable net interest margin is expected to result in continued growth of net interest income.

Tailwinds

  • Opportunities in markets exist to grow earning assets and deposits.
  • Net interest margin is expected to stay within expected range.
  • Leveraging customer relationships, market positioning, diversified products and competitive rates will continue to generate deposits to fuel balance sheet growth.
  • Total loans as of December 31, 2023 were $770 million higher than average total loans in the fourth quarter of 2023, which, coupled with a stable net interest margin, is expected to help contribute to momentum into the first quarter of 2024.
  • Company continues to win business and expand franchise.

Headwinds

  • Future performance depends on the pace and magnitude of potential interest rate changes.
  • Accrual of $34.4 million for the estimated amount owed as a result of the FDIC special assessment on uninsured deposits.
