Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 28, 2017, IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”) disclosed the following:

The Company confirms that it currently projects its net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to increase to approximately 3.60%, which assumes no significant interest recoveries during the second quarter of 2017 and a flat interest rate scenario.

The Company currently expects core non-interest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to remain flat with core non-interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company also currently expects its core tangible efficiency ratio (TE) to be below 60% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
  
The Company estimates that investment security cash flow will be approximately $50 million per month during the second and third quarters of 2017. The weighted average coupon on these investments is estimated at 2.65%.

The Company currently estimates that, in the event its federal statutory tax rate were to drop from 35% to 20%, the benefit to net income from lower income tax expense would have been $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, or approximately $0.16 per diluted common share. Additionally, the Company notes that a decrease in the statutory rate would impact the Company's usability of its deferred tax asset, which may result in an impairment charge in future periods. This analysis assumes that there are no other underlying adjustments relative to the deductibility of items that the Company currently uses to reduce its effective income tax rate below the federal statutory rate.

















Caution About Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements," which may include forecasts of our financial results and condition, expectations for our operations and businesses, and our assumptions for those forecasts and expectations. Do not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Due to various factors, actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors” and “Regulation and Supervision” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and in other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, available at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov, and the Company’s website, http://www.iberiabank.com. To the extent that statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K relate to future plans, objectives, financial results or performance by the Company, these statements are deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are generally identified by use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “continue” and “potential” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
 Forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed; they are not guarantees of future performance.  Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that change over time and could cause actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the level of market volatility, our ability to execute our growth strategy, including the availability of future bank acquisition opportunities, our ability to execute on our revenue and efficiency improvement initiatives, unanticipated losses related to the completion and integration of mergers and acquisitions, refinements to purchase accounting adjustments for acquired businesses and assets and assumed liabilities in these transactions, adjustments of fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities and of deferred taxes in acquisitions, actual results deviating from the Company’s current estimates and assumptions of timing and amounts of cash flows, utilization of non-GAAP financial measures, credit risk of our customers, resolution of assets formerly subject to loss share agreements with the FDIC, effects of the on-going correction in residential real estate prices and  levels of home sales, our ability to satisfy new capital and liquidity standards such as those imposed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and those adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and federal banking regulators, sufficiency of our allowance for loan losses, changes in interest rates, access to funding sources, reliance on the services of executive management, competition for loans, deposits and investment dollars, competition from competitors with greater financial resources than the Company, reputational risk and social factors, compliance with laws and regulations, increases in FDIC insurance assessments, geographic concentration of our markets, economic and business conditions in our markets or nationally, including the impact of volatility of oil and gas prices, rapid changes in the financial services industry, significant litigation, cyber-security risks including dependence on our operational, technological, and organizational systems and infrastructure and those of third party providers of those services, hurricanes and other adverse weather events, and valuation of intangible assets. All information is as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.
