Forward guidance

Pinnacle Financial anticipates high-single digit loan growth in 2021, excluding the impact of the PPP program, and expects meaningful core deposit growth as the post-COVID economy emerges.

Tailwinds

  • Optimistic about loan growth picking up in the back half of the year
  • Expect meaningful core deposit growth this year
  • Believe BHG's 2021 revenues will exceed previous expectations
  • Increased number of mortgage originators will provide for another solid year for our mortgage origination business.
  • Aim for top-quartile peer performance with respect to return on tangible common equity, as well as tangible book value per share growth

Headwinds

  • Significant headwinds of excess borrower liquidity
  • CRE paydowns
  • Limited loan demand
  • Pandemic negatively impacted results and resulted in reduced cash and equity incentives charges in 2020.
  • Anticipate an increase in our performance-based cash incentive awards in 2021
