Forward-Looking
Statements
Forward-Looking
Statements
Forward-looking statements provide projections of results of operations or of financial
condition or state other forward-looking information, such as expectations about future
conditions and descriptions of plans and strategies for the future. Hancock’s ability to
accurately project results or predict the effects of future plans or strategies is inherently
limited. 
We believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable
assumptions,
but
actual
results
and
performance
could
differ
materially
from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual results
to differ from those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to, those outlined in Hancock's SEC filings, including the “Risk Factors”
section of the Company’s form 10-K and 10-Q. 
Hancock does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update
or revise any forward-
looking statements, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-
looking statements.

Second Quarter
2012 Results
As of June 30, 2012
5


Better Mix, Less Risky
Loan Portfolio
Total loans $11 billion; virtually flat linked-quarter
(after adjusting for the decline in the covered Peoples First portfolio)
Compared to a year earlier loans are down
$171 million, or 1.5% 
Growth in C&I (+7%), residential mortgage (+5%),
consumer loans (+6%) offset by declines in construction (-15%)
and commercial real estate (-13%)
Decline of $285 million from Whitney acquired-impaired portfolio;
$160 million from Peoples First covered portfolio; mainly construction
and CRE portfolios
Result is a better quality, more diverse portfolio
Cautiously optimistic there will be net loan growth
in the second half of 2012
Period-end balances. As of June 30, 2012
6


Strong Core Deposit
Funding
Total deposits $15 billion
Funding mix remained strong
Low cost of funds (32bps); down 6bps from 1Q12
Noninterest bearing demand deposits (DDA) comprised
34% of total period-end deposits
Linked-quarter decline related to expected CD
runoff, seasonal trends in public funds and
redeployment of temporary excess liquidity in a
few customer relationships
Opportunity to reprice CDs at significantly
lower rates has largely been eliminated
Approximately $1.0B in CDs maturing over the next 2 quarters
at average rate of .50%
Period-end balances. As of June 30, 2012

Strong, Stable
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin (NIM) 4.48%, up 5bps linked-quarter
Reflects a favorable shift in funding sources, a decline in funding costs,
offset by a decline in the securities portfolio yield
Core margin basically unchanged
Quarterly reviews of accretion levels
and portfolio performance will
impact reported margin
Expect the reported
NIM will
remain relatively stable in the
near term

Working To Enhance
Fee Growth
Noninterest income totaled $63.6 million, up 3% linked-quarter
New and standardized products and services offered across the footprint after the
systems conversion in March 2012
Conversion has enhanced opportunities for cross-selling
Private Banking
Treasury Management
International Banking
Insurance
Expect
the
overall
level
of
fee
income
to
decline
in
3Q12
reflecting,
in
part,
the
impact of the restrictions on interchange rates related to the Durbin
Amendment on Hancock Bank. 
Expected
to
result
in
a
loss
of
fee
income
of
approximately
$2.5
million
from
current
levels
As of June 30, 2012

Focused On Realization
Of Remaining Cost Synergies
Operating expense totaled $168 million, down $3.5 million from 1Q12*
Amortization of intangibles totaled $7.9 million
Personnel expense decreased $2.5 million, primarily from declines in quarterly payroll taxes and
the
reduction
in
force
associated
with
the
systems
conversion
in
March
2012;
offset
by
the
Company’s annual merit increase and recent strategic new hires
Merger-related expenses totaled $12 million QTD; $133 million in total
Cost savings projected for the Whitney acquisition totaled $134 million
or $33.5 million quarterly
Efficiency ratio 65.67% in 2Q12**
Short term target: 62-63%
Longer term target: less than 60%
As of June 30, 2012
* Excludes merger costs
** Noninterest
expense

Total nonperforming assets declined $17 million linked-quarter
Legacy Hancock NPLs stabilized

(d) Net income less tax-effected merger costs and securities gains/losses. Management believes that this is a
useful financial measure because it enables investors to assess ongoing operations.
(e) Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense, merger items, and securities
transactions. Management believes that PTPP profit is a useful financial measure because it enables investors
and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
