Trustmark reports Q1 EPS 82c, consensus 67c

Reports Q1 revenue $189M, consensus $189.75M. Duane A. Dewey, President and CEO, stated, "Our first quarter financial performance reflects solid loan and deposit growth, strong performance in our mortgage, insurance and wealth management businesses, and diligent expense management. Our overall strong performance was impacted by increasingly competitive deposit costs during the quarter, which compressed our net interest margin. Trustmark has a strong, diversified and proven business model that has stood the test of time. We remain well-positioned and committed to meeting our customers’ needs despite the challenging financial services environment. Our balance sheet is well-positioned for additional increases in interest rates and credit quality remains solid. We continue to focus on efficiency enhancements throughout the organization as well as investments in technology to better serve customers."
