The Company's balance sheet and results of operations as of and for the year ending December 31, 2016, include the impact of the Company's acquisition of KeyWorth Bank ("KeyWorth"), a Georgia state bank headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, which was completed on April 1, 2016. As of the acquisition date, KeyWorth operated six offices in the Atlanta metropolitan area and had approximately $399 million in assets, approximately $284 million in total loans, and approximately $347 million in total deposits. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date and are subject to change pending finalization of all valuations.

On December 8, 2016, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Renasant Bank (the "Bank"), entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") that terminated all of the Bank's loss share agreements with the FDIC, which includes Single-Family Shared Loss and Commercial Shared Loss agreements. All rights and obligations of the Bank and the FDIC under the FDIC loss share agreements were eliminated under the termination agreement. The Company incurred a one-time pre-tax charge of $2.1 million, or $1.4 million on an after-tax basis, in connection with the termination agreement. At December 31, 2016, the Company had $28.1 million in loans, $2.6 million of which were nonperforming, and $487 thousand in other real estate owned ("OREO") which had been previously covered under these loss share agreements.

"We made significant achievements in 2016, and the financial results for the year are a testament to a well executed plan. Our diluted EPS of $2.17 per share represents our highest reported yearly earnings which was driven by the strong performance of our overall company coupled with the successful conversion and integration of KeyWorth's operations," commented Renasant Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E. Robinson McGraw. "The results include our successful completion of the KeyWorth acquisition and a 22.97% annual growth in our legacy loan portfolio. As we look to 2017, we believe we are well positioned to continue to improve on profitability and earnings growth, which in turn will generate shareholder value."

    --  Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $30.1 million, as
        compared to $31.4 million in the same period of 2015. The decrease is
        driven by a decline in mortgage banking income resulting from rising
        interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2016. Noninterest income
        increased to $137.2 million for the full year of 2016, as compared to
        $108.3 million for 2015. The growth is primarily attributable to an
        increase in mortgage banking income, income from the Company's wealth
        management division and the KeyWorth acquisition.
    --  Noninterest expense was $71.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, as
        compared to $70.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $294.9
        million for the full year of 2016, as compared to $245.1 million for
        2015. Excluding nonrecurring charges for merger and conversion expenses,
        debt prepayment penalties and loss share termination, the increase from
        2015 is primarily attributable to the addition of KeyWorth operations
        and strategic additions of personnel.

The following table presents the Company's profitability metrics for the quarter and year ending December 31, 2016, including and excluding the impact of after-tax merger and conversion expenses, debt prepayment penalties and loss share termination:

Aggressively Managed Problem Credits
Total nonperforming assets were $58.8 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $22.0 million from December 31, 2015, and consisted of $35.5 million in nonperforming loans (loans 90 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans) and $23.3 million in OREO.

The Company's nonperforming loans and OREO that were purchased in previous acquisitions (collectively referred to as "acquired nonperforming assets") were $22.2 million and $17.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016, as compared to $30.5 million and $22.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015. The acquired nonperforming assets were recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, which significantly mitigates the Company's actual loss. As such, the remaining information in this release on nonperforming loans, OREO and the related asset quality ratios primarily focuses on non-acquired nonperforming assets.



    --  Non-acquired nonperforming loans decreased to $13.4 million, or 0.28% of
        total non-acquired loans, at December 31, 2016, from $15.0 million, or
        0.39% of total non-acquired loans, at December 31, 2015. Early stage
        delinquencies, or loans 30-to-89 days past due, as a percentage of total
        loans were 0.23% at December 31, 2016, as compared to 0.19% at December
        31, 2015.

    --  Non-acquired OREO decreased 54.35% to $5.9 million at December 31, 2016,
        from $13.0 million at December 31, 2015. Non-acquired OREO sales totaled
        $10.0 million in 2016 with $4.2 million occurring during the fourth
        quarter of 2016.

    --  The allowance for loan losses represents 0.69% of total loans at
        December 31, 2016, as compared to 0.78% at December 31, 2015. The
        allowance for loan losses represents 0.91% of nonaquired loans at
        December 31, 2016, as compared to 1.11% at December 31, 2015.

        --  Net loan charge-offs were $4.8 million, or 0.31% of average total
            loans, for the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to $1.4 million,
            or 0.10% of average total loans, for the same period in 2015. Net
            loan charge-offs were $7.2 million, or 0.12% of average total loans,
            for 2016, as compared to $4.6 million, or 0.10% of average total
            loans, for 2015. The increase year over year and quarter over
            quarter is attributable to bringing several problem credits to final
            resolution. The charges were fully reserved for in the Company's
            allowance for loan losses and resulted in no additional provision
            for loan loss expense.
        --  Provision for loan losses was $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of
            2016, as compared to $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and
            $7.5 million for the full year 2016, as compared to $4.8 million for
            2015. The increase in the Company's provision year over year is
            primarily attributable to the aforementioned nonacquired loan
            growth.

Built Our Capital Ratios



    --  At December 31, 2016, Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 10.59%, Common
        Equity Tier 1 ratio was 11.48%, Tier 1 risk-based bapital ratio was
        12.86%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 15.03%. All regulatory
        ratios exceed the minimums required to be considered "well-capitalized."

    --  Tangible common equity ratio was 9.00% at December 31, 2016, as compared
        to 7.54% at December 31, 2015.

    --  In December 2016, the Company completed the underwritten public offering
        of 2,135,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering
        price of $41.50 per share resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
        $84.1 million.
    --  In August 2016, the Company completed the public offering and sale of
        $60 million of the Company's 5.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated
        notes due September 1, 2026, and $40 million of its 5.50%
        fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due September 1, 2031
        (collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes resulted in net proceeds to the
        Company of $98.2 million and qualify as Tier 2 capital.

NOTE TO INVESTORS:
This news release may contain, or incorporate by reference, statements which may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward looking statements usually include words such as "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "strategy," "plan," "potential," "possible" and other similar expressions.

Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees for future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include significant fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, economic recession, significant changes in the federal and state legal and regulatory environment, significant underperformance in the Company's portfolio of outstanding loans, and competition in the Company's markets. Management undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets and certain charges that the Company considers to be non-recurring in nature. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. In addition, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate the making of period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of its operating performance particularly because these measures are widely used by industry analysts for companies with merger and acquisition activities. Also, because intangible assets, such as goodwill and the core deposit intangible, and non-recurring charges can vary extensively from company to company and, as to intangible assets, are excluded from the calculation of a financial institution's regulatory capital, the Company believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information allows readers to more easily compare the Company's results to information provided in other regulatory reports and the results of other companies.

The specific non-GAAP financial measures used are return on average tangible shareholders' equity, return on average tangible assets, the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets (commonly referred to as the "tangible capital ratio") and the efficiency ratio. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that, because there are no standardized definitions for the calculations as well as the results, the Company's calculations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Also there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the table at the end of this release under the caption "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP."
