Forward guidance

Pinnacle Financial Partners anticipates that linked-quarter loan growth for the remainder of the year is likely to moderate due to slower loan demand and tighter credit standards.

Tailwinds

  • Expects to hold elevated levels of liquidity for the next few quarters to protect from banking sector uncertainty.
  • Liquidity metrics are as strong as they have ever been.
  • Experienced a meaningful reduction in our uninsured deposit base, as approximately $2.1 billion in deposits were added to a reciprocal deposit insurance funding network during March.
  • Investment securities portfolio, including both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios, has performed very well in recent months.
  • Credit metrics remain consistent with prior quarter’s results, and we continue to believe the loan portfolio remains healthy.

Headwinds

  • Linked-quarter loan growth is likely to moderate to some extent based on slower loan demand as a result of macroeconomic factors and the fact that we have continued to tighten the credit box, particularly as it pertains to construction and commercial real estate lending.
  • Net interest margin declined on a linked-quarter basis by approximately 20 basis points.
  • Increased funding costs contributed to the reduced net interest margin.
  • The $1.7 billion increase in on-balance sheet liquidity, which we acquired during mid-March given the uncertainty in the broader banking industry, also contributed to the reduced net interest margin.
  • A recession is likely to materialize in 2023.
