GULFPORT, Miss. (April 19, 2016) — Hancock Holding Company (Nasdaq: HBHC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2016.  Net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $3.8 million, or $.05 per diluted common share, compared to $15.3 million, or $.19 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $40.2 million, or $.49, in the first quarter of 2015.  The linked-quarter decline in earnings was mainly related to the previously announced increase in the loan loss provision.  There were also nonoperating expenses of $5.0 million (pre-tax), or $.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2016 mainly related to separation pay.  There were no nonoperating items in the fourth quarter of 2015, with $7.0 million (pre-tax), or $.06 per share, of nonoperating items in the first quarter of 2015.  The year-over-year decline in earnings was mainly related to a decrease in purchase accounting income of approximately $8.9 million (pre-tax), and the provision taken to increase the energy allowance noted above.  Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings (core) were $76.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $68.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $63.6 million in the first quarter of 2015.

"Core pre-tax, pre-provision earnings improved in the first quarter despite the impact of today's energy cycle," said President and CEO John M. Hairston. "While the volatility of the current energy cycle continues to overshadow the progress we are making towards meeting our goals, we remain focused on growing the nonenergy portion of our company and is the reason we set our 2016 goal at pre-tax, pre-provision earnings growth.  The metrics for the quarter outside of provision expense and energy are in-line with previous guidance and we are proud of the efforts

Energy
At March 31, 2016, loans in the energy segment totaled $1.6 billion, or 10% of total loans.  The energy portfolio increased approximately $53 million linked-quarter and is comprised of credits to both the E&P industry and support industries. The net increase in the portfolio for the quarter reflects approximately $85 million in payoffs and paydowns, and $17 million in energy charge-offs, offset by approximately $155MM in draws on existing lines.

During the first quarter of 2016 there were risk rating downgrades to criticized status of over $300 million in outstanding energy credits.  This increase was mainly related to the application of new regulatory guidance which was used in the recent shared national credit (SNC) exam that was completed on March 15, 2016.  Approximately 75% of the increase in criticized energy loans was from reserve-based (RBL) credits identified in the SNC exam or based on the new regulatory guidance.  Several of the credits downgraded in the exam, totaling approximately $80 million, were moved to nonaccrual status.

Due to the changes noted above, and the impact of the prolonged energy cycle, the company increased its allowance for loan losses on the energy portfolio and booked a $60 million total provision for credit losses in the quarter.  Approximately $50 million of the provision expense was related to the energy portfolio.  As a result, and after energy charge-offs of approximately $17 million, the allowance for the energy portfolio was increased $33 million, to $111.2 million, or almost 7% of energy loans.

The impact and severity of future risk rating migration, as well as any associated provisions or net charge-offs, will depend on overall oil prices and the duration of the cycle.  While we expect additional charge-offs in the portfolio, we continue to believe the impact on the company of the energy cycle will be manageable and our capital will remain solid.  Management currently estimates that charge-offs from energy-related credits could approximate $65-$95 million over the duration of the cycle.

Additional details of the energy portfolio are included in the presentation slides posted on our Investor Relations website.

Loans
Total loans at March 31, 2016 were $16.0 billion, up $275 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2015.  All regions across the footprint reported net loan growth during the quarter.  Average loans totaled $15.8 billion for the first quarter of 2016, up $651 million, or 4%, linked-quarter.

Management expects continued growth across the footprint will be slightly offset by ongoing payoffs and paydowns in the energy portfolio.  This is expected to result in year over year period-end loan growth of 5-7% in 2016.

Deposits
Total deposits at March 31, 2016 were $18.7 billion, up $307 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2015.  Average deposits for the first quarter of 2016 were $18.3 billion, up $460 million, or 3%, linked-quarter.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits (DDAs) totaled $7.1 billion at March 31, 2016, down $168 million from December 31, 2015.  DDAs comprised 38% of total period-end deposits at March 31, 2016.

Interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits totaled $7.0 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2016, up $276 million, or 4%, from December 31, 2015.  Time deposits of $2.4 billion increased $300 million, or 15%, while interest-bearing public fund deposits decreased $101 million, or 4%, to $2.2 billion at March 31, 2016.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets (NPAs) totaled $307 million at March 31, 2016, up $116 million from December 31, 2015.  During the first quarter of 2016, total nonperforming loans increased approximately $119 million while foreclosed and surplus real estate (ORE) and other foreclosed assets decreased approximately $3 million.  The net increase in nonperforming loans was mainly related to the movement of several energy credits, totaling approximately $90 million during the quarter.  Nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans, ORE and other foreclosed assets was 1.92% at March 31, 2016, up 70 bps from December 31, 2015.

The total allowance for loan losses was $217.8 million at March 31, 2016, up $36.6 million from December 31, 2015.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to period-end loans was 1.36% at March 31, 2016, up from 1.15% at December 31, 2015.  The allowance maintained on the non-FDIC acquired portion of the loan portfolio increased $39.2 million linked-quarter, totaling $197.3 million, while the allowance on the FDIC acquired loan portfolio decreased $2.6 million linked-quarter.

Net charge-offs from the non-FDIC acquired loan portfolio were $21.3 million, or 0.54% of average total loans on an annualized basis in the first quarter of 2016, up from $7.9 million, or 0.21% of average total loans in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Included in the first quarter's total are $17.4 million in charge-offs related to energy credits.

During the first quarter of 2016, Hancock recorded a total provision for loan losses of $60.0 million, up from $50.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Based on information currently available, management currently expects the provision for loan losses could approximate $105 - $145 million for the full year of 2016.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (TE) for the first quarter of 2016 was $168.2 million, up $5.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2015.  During the first quarter, the impact on net interest income from purchase accounting adjustments (PAAs) was virtually unchanged.  Excluding the impact from purchase

accounting items, core net interest income also increased $5.6 million linked-quarter.  Average earning assets were $20.9 billion for the first quarter of 2016, up $770 million, or 4%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.

The reported net interest margin (TE) was 3.23% for the first quarter of 2016, up 2 bps from the fourth quarter of 2015.  The core net interest margin (reported net interest income (TE) excluding total net purchase accounting adjustments, annualized, as a percent of average earning assets) also increased 2 bps to 3.12% during the first quarter of 2016.  The main drivers of the improvement were an increase in the core loan yield of 5 bps and an increase in the securities portfolio yield of 6 bps.  This was slightly offset by an increase in the cost of funds of 3 basis points.  The margin was negatively impacted 2 bps in the quarter by interest reversals of approximately $0.9 million.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $58.2 million for the first quarter of 2016, down $1.5 million, or 2%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.  Included in the total is amortization of $1.6 million related to the FDIC indemnification asset, compared to amortization of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Excluding the impact of this item, core noninterest income totaled $59.8 million, down $1.6 million, or 3%, linked-quarter.

Service charges on deposits totaled $18.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, down $0.6 million, or 3%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.  Bank card and ATM fees totaled $11.3 million, down $0.4 million, or 4%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.

Trust fees totaled $11.2 million, down slightly linked-quarter.  Investment and annuity income and insurance fees totaled $6.2 million, down $0.4 million, or 6%, linked-quarter.

Fees from secondary mortgage operations totaled $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2016, up slightly linked-quarter.

Other noninterest income (excluding the amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset noted above) totaled $9.7 million, down $0.1 million, or 1%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.

Noninterest Expense & Taxes
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $156.0 million, virtually unchanged, from the fourth quarter of 2015.  There were $5.0 million of nonoperating expenses in the first quarter of 2016 mainly related to separation pay.  Excluding nonoperating items, operating expense totaled $151.1 million, down $5.0 million, or 3%, linked quarter.  The line item discussions below exclude the impact of nonoperating expenses.

Total personnel expense was $84.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, down $0.6 million, or 1%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.

April 19, 2016

Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, down $0.4 million, or 3%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.

ORE expense totaled $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, down $0.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2015.

Amortization of intangibles totaled $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2016, down $0.6 million, or 10%, linked-quarter.  Other operating expense totaled $46.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, down $2.5 million, or 5%, from the fourth quarter of 2015.

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 23%.  Management expects the effective income tax rate to approximate 22-24% for the remainder of 2016.  The effective income tax rate continues to be less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to tax-exempt income and tax credits.

Capital
Common shareholders' equity at March 31, 2016 totaled $2.4 billion.  The tangible common equity (TCE) ratio was 7.69%, up 7 bps from December 31, 2015.  During the fourth quarter of 2015 the company placed its common stock buyback on hold in light of the current energy cycle.  No shares were repurchased in the first quarter of 2016.  Additional capital ratios are included in the financial tables.

(o) Loans which have been acquired and no allowance brought forward in accordance with acquisition accounting. Acquired-performing loans in pools with fully accreted purchase fair value discounts are reported as originated loans.
(p) Loans acquired in an FDIC-assisted transaction. Non-single family loss share agreement expired at 12/31/14. As of 3/31/16, $168.1 million in loans and $1.1 million in ORE remain covered by the FDIC single family loss share agreement, providing considerable protection against credit risk. As of 12/31/15, $170.1 million in loans and $1.7 million in ORE remained covered by the FDIC single family loss share agreement.
(q) Included in originated nonaccrual loans are $18.3 million and $8.8 million at 3/31/16 and 12/31/15, respectively, in nonaccruing restructured loans.
(r) ORE received in settlement of acquired loans is no longer subject to purchase accounting guidance and has been included with ORE from originated loans. ORE received in settlement of covered loans remains covered under the FDIC loss share agreements.

 During 1Q16 there were over $300 million in outstanding energy credits that were downgraded to criticized status Downgrades were mainly related to the application of new regulatory guidance which was used in the recent shared national credit (SNC) exam that was completed on March 15, 2016Approximately 75% of the increase in criticized energy loans was from reserve-based (RBL) credits identified in the SNC exam or based on the new regulatory guidance Several of the credits downgraded in the exam, totaling approximately $80 million, were moved to nonaccrual statusDue to the changes noted above, and impact of the prolonged low ebb of the energy cycle, the company increased its allowance for loan losses on the energy portfolio and booked a $60 million total provision for credit losses in the quarterApproximately $50 million of the provision expense was related to the energy portfolioAs a result, and after energy charge-offs of approximately $17 million, the allowance for the energy portfolio was increased $33 million, to $111.2 million, or almost 7% of energy loans  Energy Portfolio Overview (cont’d)
