Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain of the statements or information included in this presentation may constitute forward-looking
statements.  Forward-looking statements include projections of revenue, costs, results of operations or
financial condition or statements regarding future market conditions or our potential plans and strategies
for the future.  Forward-looking statements that we may make include, but may not be limited to, comments
with respect to future levels of economic activity in our markets,  loan growth, deposit trends, credit quality
trends, future sales of nonperforming assets, net interest margin trends, future expense levels and the
ability to achieve reductions in non-interest expense or other cost savings, projected tax rates, future
profitability, improvements in expense to revenue (efficiency) ratio, purchase accounting impacts such as
accretion levels, the impact of the branch rationalization process, uses of capital and the financial impact
of regulatory requirements.  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 or implied by any 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 or outcomes 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
10-K

the
year
ended
December 31, 2012 and most recent  form 10-Q.

1Q13 includes $6.6 million impact from FDIC-covered loan portfolio
1Q13 includes $3.0 million  for the non-covered loan portfolio
Linked-quarter decrease related to a lower level of non-covered charge-offs and the impact of a slowdown in
newly identified impaired loans
Do not expect to maintain lower level of non-covered provision in the near term
Non-covered net charge-offs totaled $6.6 million, or 0.23%
4Q12 included $16.2 million related to the bulk loan sale
Linked-quarter decrease reflects a lower level of gross charge-offs and a higher than normal level of recoveries

Net Interest Margin Impacted By
Net Interest Margin Impacted By
Earning Asset Repricing
Earning Asset Repricing
Reported net interest margin (NIM) 4.32%, down 16bps linked-quarter
Core NIM compressed 20bps
Continued repricing of earning assets causing NIM compression
Average rate on new loans booked in 1Q13
in the range of 3.0%-3.5% ;
New securities purchased in 1Q13 at an
average rate of 1.68%
Compression of 5-10 bps in the core margin
is expected in the near term
All else equal, and adjusting for the volatility
related to loan accretion, compression of the
reported margin of 10-20 bps is
anticipated in the near term
As of March 31, 2013
15
Increase in net purchase accounting adjustments,
mainly from the Whitney transaction,
positively impacted net interest income (NII), NIM, EPS
Higher than expected accretion in 1Q13 added
approximately $7.5 million to NII, or $.06 to EPS
Absent additional accretion, and all else equal,
quarterly EPS $.06 lower than reported 1Q13

(a) Net income less tax-effected merger costs, debt early redemption costs, and securities gains/losses. Management believes that this is a useful financial measure because
it enables investors to assess ongoing operations.
(b)  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.
