Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of earnings and related financial data is presented to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (the “Parent Company” and, when including all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “BancShares”) and its banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FCB”). Unless otherwise noted, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “BancShares” in this section refer to the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for BancShares.

This MD&A is expected to provide our investors with a view of our financial condition and results of operations from our management’s perspective. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), along with our consolidated financial statements and related MD&A of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

Recent Events

Share Repurchase Programs

On July 25, 2025, BancShares announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new share repurchase program (the “2025 SRP”), which will allow BancShares to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock in an aggregate amount up to $4.0 billion through December 31, 2026. Repurchases under the 2025 SRP may commence upon the completion of the $3.5 billion share repurchase program announced in July 2024 (the “2024 SRP”). The total capacity remaining under the 2024 SRP was $611 million as of June 30, 2025 and $302 million as of July 31, 2025.

During the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased 338,959 shares of our Class A common stock for approximately $613 million. Shares repurchased during the second quarter of 2025 represented 2.73% of Class A common shares and 2.53% of total Class A and Class B common shares outstanding at March 31, 2025. From inception of the 2024 SRP through June 30, 2025, we have repurchased 1,456,283 shares of our Class A common stock for approximately $2.89 billion, representing 10.77% of Class A common shares and 10.02% of total Class A and Class B common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, BancShares purchased an additional 147,365 shares of Class A common stock through July 31, 2025 under the 2024 SRP.

Refer to Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds for additional information regarding monthly repurchase activity during the second quarter of 2025.

2025 Loan Class Changes

During the second quarter of 2025, the loan classes which were reported in the Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) portfolio in the Linked Quarter Form 10-Q and 2024 Form 10-K, were recast to the Commercial portfolio (the “2025 Loan Class Changes”) as further discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation. Loan and lease and allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) disclosures for all periods presented in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the 2025 Loan Class Changes.

Loan disclosures in the “Results by Segment” section of this MD&A were not recast as a result of the 2025 Loan Class Changes because the composition of reportable segments is separate and distinct from the identification of loan classes.

Debt Transactions

On March 12, 2025, the Parent Company issued and sold $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.231% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2031 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.254% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes due 2040 in a public offering (the “Linked Quarter Debt Issuances”).

On June 15, 2025, the Parent Company executed a callable feature and redeemed all $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due in 2030 (the “Current Quarter Debt Redemption”).

Termination of the Shared-Loss Agreement with the FDIC

On April 7, 2025, FCB and the FDIC entered into an agreement (the “Shared-Loss Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Shared-Loss Agreement (as defined in Note 2—Business Combinations). As a result of entering into the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties under the Shared-Loss Agreement terminated as of the date of the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement, including FCB’s reporting covenants and obligations related to FDIC Loss Sharing and FCB reimbursement (each as defined in Note 2—Business Combinations in our 2024 Form 10-K). The decision to enter into the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement was motivated, in part, by FCB’s determination that the likelihood of reaching the $5 billion loss threshold during the five-year period covered by the Shared-Loss Agreement was remote. Additionally, the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement eliminated the reporting responsibilities associated with the Shared-Loss Agreement. There was no impact to our consolidated balance sheets or statements of income resulting from the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement because there was no loss indemnification asset or true-up liability associated with the Shared-Loss Agreement, primarily based on evaluation of historical loss experience and the credit quality of the Covered Assets (as defined in Note 2—Business Combinations in our 2024 Form 10-K).

The risk-based capital ratio impacts resulting from the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement are discussed in the “Capital” section of this MD&A.

Changes to the Composition of Reportable Segments

We updated our segment reporting during the first quarter of 2025 as further discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation. We transferred certain components from the SVB Commercial and General Bank segments to the Commercial Bank segment and modified our segment expense allocation methodology. Segment disclosures for 2024 periods included in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the segment reporting updates. Refer to Note 17—Segment Information for descriptions of segment products and services and the “Results by Segment” section of this MD&A.

Recent Economic, Industry and Regulatory Developments

Entering 2025, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had reduced the benchmark federal funds rate to a range between 4.25% - 4.50%. In its statement in July 2025, the FOMC cited that uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated in its decision to maintain the range for the benchmark federal funds rate.

The Trump administration has imposed, modified and paused tariffs multiple times since the beginning of 2025. Actual and threatened changes to U.S. trade policies have resulted in some countries enacting retaliatory measures. The imposition of increased tariffs and trade restrictions has contributed to uncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets. The current tariff environment is dynamic, and we are closely monitoring both the impact and potential impact of such measures on our business, our customers and on overall economic conditions in the United States.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA contains several provisions that impact corporate taxation. BancShares is in the process of evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its financial statements.

Financial Performance Summary

The following tables in this MD&A include financial data for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (the “Current Quarter”), March 31, 2025 (the “Linked Quarter”) and June 30, 2024 (the “Prior Year Quarter”), along with the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“Current YTD”), and the six months ended June 30, 2024 (“Prior YTD”). In accordance with Item 303(c) of Regulation S-K, we focus our discussion of quarterly results of operations on changes compared to the Linked Quarter for the narrative discussion and analysis as we believe this provides investors and other users of our data with the most relevant information.

We focus the discussion of our financial position by comparing balances as of June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2024, however the tables also provide the Linked Quarter balances.

Financial highlights are summarized below. Further details are discussed in the “Results of Operations” and “Balance Sheet Analysis” sections of this MD&A.

Second Quarter Income Statement Highlights

• Net income for the Current Quarter was $575 million, an increase of $92 million or 19% from $483 million for the Linked Quarter. Net income available to common stockholders for the Current Quarter was $561 million, an increase of $93 million or 20% from $468 million for the Linked Quarter. Earnings per basic and diluted common share for the Current Quarter was $42.36, an increase from $34.47 for the Linked Quarter. The increase in net income available to common stockholders was largely due to higher noninterest income, a decrease in the provision for credit losses, and higher net interest income (“NII”), partially offset by a modest increase in noninterest expense as further discussed below.
• NII for the Current Quarter was $1.70 billion, an increase of $32 million or 2% from $1.66 billion for the Linked Quarter, largely due to increases in interest income on loans and interest-earning deposits at banks, mainly a result of higher average balances and a higher day count, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on borrowings due to a higher average balance and rate paid as the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances were outstanding for the entire Current Quarter.
• NIM for the Current Quarter and Linked Quarter was 3.26% as the favorable impact of a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was offset by the unfavorable impacts of a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, a higher rate paid on borrowings, and lower PAA.
• PAA for the Current Quarter was $66 million, a decrease of $9 million from $75 million for the Linked Quarter. NIM, excluding PAA*(1)* for the Current Quarter was 3.14%, an increase of 2 basis points (“bps”) from 3.12% for the Linked Quarter.
• Noninterest income for the Current Quarter was $678 million, an increase of $43 million or 7% from $635 million for the Linked Quarter, primarily the result of an increase in other noninterest income of $28 million, mainly attributable to the positive impacts from fair value changes in customer derivative positions and other non-marketable investments, as well as the Linked Quarter write-down of a held for sale asset. The remaining net increase included a favorable change in the fair value of marketable equity securities of $7 million.
• Noninterest expense for the Current Quarter was $1.50 billion, an increase of $7 million or 1% from $1.49 billion for the Linked Quarter, mainly due to other noninterest expense accruals totaling $15 million and an increase in professional fees of $5 million, partially offset by decreases in personnel cost of $8 million, equipment expense of $5 million, and acquisition-related expenses of $4 million.
• Provision for credit losses for the Current Quarter was $115 million, a decrease of $39 million from $154 million for the Linked Quarter.
• The provision for loan and lease losses for the Current Quarter was $111 million, a decrease of $37 million from $148 million for the Linked Quarter, mainly attributable to a decrease in net charge-offs of $25 million and a decrease of $8 million in the ALLL for the Current Quarter, compared to an increase of $4 million in the ALLL for the Linked Quarter. Changes in the ALLL are discussed in the “Provision for Credit Losses” section of this MD&A.
• The provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure for the Current Quarter was $4 million, a decrease of $2 million compared to $6 million for the Linked Quarter, mostly due to the modest shift in our scenario weighting as further discussed in the “ALLL Methodology” section of this MD&A.
• Income tax expense for the Current Quarter was $183 million, an increase of $15 million from $168 million for the Linked Quarter, mostly reflecting higher income before income taxes.
• Return on average assets for the Current Quarter was 1.01%, an increase of 14 bps from 0.87% for the Linked Quarter due to the increase in net income discussed above.

(1) NIM, excluding PAA is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the “NII, NIM, and Interest and Fees on Loans, Excluding PAA” discussion in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” section of this MD&A for further discussion.

Year-to-Date Income Statement Highlights

• Net income for the Current YTD was $1.06 billion, a decrease of $380 million or 27% from $1.44 billion for the Prior YTD. Net income available to common stockholders for the Current YTD was $1.03 billion, a decrease of 27% from $1.41 billion for the Prior YTD. Earnings per diluted common share for the Current YTD was $76.73, a decrease from $96.80 for the Prior YTD. The decrease in net income available to common stockholders was due to lower NII, higher noninterest expense and higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower income tax expense and higher noninterest income as further discussed below.
• NII for the Current YTD was $3.36 billion, a decrease of $280 million or 8% from $3.64 billion for the Prior YTD. NIM for the Current YTD was 3.26%, a decrease of 40 bps from 3.66% for the Prior YTD. The decreases in NII and NIM were mainly due to lower yields on loans and interest-earning deposits at banks, a mix shift from interest-earning deposits at banks to investment securities, a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits, and a higher average balance and rate paid for borrowings, partially offset by a decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and a higher average balance of loans.
• PAA for the Current YTD was $142 million, a decrease of $156 million from $298 million for the Prior YTD. NIM, excluding PAA,(1) for the Current YTD was 3.13%, a decrease of 23 bps from 3.36% for the Prior YTD.
• Noninterest income for the Current YTD was $1.31 billion, an increase of $47 million from $1.27 billion for the Prior YTD, mostly due to increases in rental income on operating lease equipment of $28 million, lending-related fees of $13 million, wealth management services of $8 million, and international fees of $8 million, partially offset by a decrease in other noninterest income of $21 million.
• Noninterest expense for the Current YTD was $2.99 billion, an increase of $231 million or 8% from $2.76 billion for the Prior YTD, mostly due to increases in personnel cost of $139 million, marketing expense of $32 million, equipment expense of $27 million, third-party processing fees of $8 million, and other noninterest expense of $32 million, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition-related expenses of $22 million.
• Provision for credit losses for the Current YTD was $269 million, an increase of $110 million from $159 million for the Prior YTD.
• The provision for loan and lease losses for the Current YTD was $259 million, an increase of $71 million from $188 million for the Prior YTD, mainly attributable to a $43 million decline in the ALLL reserve release for the Current YTD, and an increase in net charge-offs of $28 million. Changes in the ALLL are discussed in the “Provision for Credit Losses” section of this MD&A.
• The provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure for the Current YTD was $10 million, compared to a benefit of $29 million for the Prior YTD. The increase in expense of $39 million was mostly due to trends in the volume of unfunded commitments, partially offset by a modest shift in our weighting from the downside to baseline economic scenario as further discussed in the “ALLL Methodology” section of this MD&A.
• Income tax expense for the Current YTD was $351 million, a decrease of $194 million from $545 million for the Prior YTD, primarily due to lower income before income taxes and a lower effective income tax rate (“ETR”).
• Return on average assets for the Current YTD was 0.94% compared to 1.33% for the Prior YTD due to the decrease in net income explained above.

(1) NIM, excluding PAA is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the “NII, NIM, and Interest and Fees on Loans, Excluding PAA” discussion in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” section of this MD&A for further discussion.

Balance Sheet Highlights

• Loans and leases at June 30, 2025 were $141.27 billion, an increase of $1.05 billion or 1% from $140.22 billion at December 31, 2024. Loan growth in the Commercial Bank segment of $793 million was mainly in our industry vertical, primarily technology media and telecommunications (“TMT”) and healthcare, and in the equipment finance portfolios. Loan growth of $155 million in the SVB Commercial segment was concentrated in the global fund banking portfolio, partially offset by a decline in our investor dependent portfolio. Loan growth of $100 million in the General Bank segment was primarily in the wealth portfolio.
• Investment securities at June 30, 2025 were $43.35 billion, a decrease of $744 million or 2% from $44.09 billion at December 31, 2024, as maturities and paydowns more than offset net purchases.
• Deposits at June 30, 2025 were $159.94 billion, an increase of $4.71 billion or 3% from $155.23 billion at December 31, 2024. As shown in Table 3 below, the increase from December 31, 2024 was mainly attributable to deposit growth in Corporate of $3.51 billion (which primarily includes the Direct Bank), the SVB Commercial segment of $1.27 billion, and the General Bank segment of $543 million, partially offset by a decline of $603 million in the Commercial Bank segment.
• Borrowings at June 30, 2025 were $38.11 billion, an increase of $1.06 billion or 3% from $37.05 billion at December 31, 2024, primarily due to the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances with aggregate principal amounts totaling $1.25 billion, partially offset by the $350 million Current Quarter Debt Redemption.
• The ALLL at June 30, 2025 was $1.67 billion, a decrease of $4 million from $1.68 billion at December 31, 2024 as discussed above in the Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Income Statement Highlights. The ALLL as a percentage of loans was 1.18% at June 30, 2025, a decrease of 2 bps from 1.20% at December 31, 2024.
• At June 30, 2025, BancShares remained well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.25%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.63%, a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio of 12.12% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.62%.

Funding, Liquidity and Capital Overview

Deposit Composition and Trends

We fund our business primarily through deposits. Deposits represented approximately 81% of total funding at June 30, 2025. The following table summarizes the composition, average size and uninsured percentages of our deposits:

Table 2

Select Deposit Data

(1) The average size is reflective of the Direct Bank deposits and excludes brokered deposits and rail.

The General Bank segment mainly includes deposits in our Branch Network, which deploys a relationship-based approach to deposit gathering. The Commercial Bank segment includes deposits of commercial customers, and the SVB Commercial segment includes deposits related to its commercial customer base. Deposits in Corporate mainly included $45.11 billion in our Direct Bank, with the balance including brokered and other deposits.

As displayed in the table above, the average size of deposits varies across our business segments. The uninsured percentage is the percentage of uninsured deposits to total deposits at period end for the respective segments and Corporate. Total uninsured deposits were approximately $57.80 billion or 36% of total deposits at June 30, 2025 and $59.51 billion or 38% at December 31, 2024.

Table 3

Deposit Trends

dollars in millions

Deposit trends for the segments and Corporate at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 are discussed below:

• General Bank segment deposit growth of $543 million was primarily in the Branch Network.
• SVB Commercial segment deposits increased $1.27 billion, despite the strategic decision to move $2.4 billion in select cash sweep deposits to off-balance sheet client funds during the Linked Quarter. Deposit growth was mainly in noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by declines in interest-bearing checking.
• Corporate deposit growth of $3.51 billion was mainly in the Direct Bank.
• Commercial Bank segment deposit decline of $603 million was mostly in noninterest-bearing deposits.

Refer to the “Results by Segments” for a discussion of deposits at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025.

Liquidity Position

We strive to maintain a strong liquidity position and our risk appetite for liquidity is low. At June 30, 2025, we had $63.62 billion in high-quality liquid assets consisting of $25.33 billion in cash and interest-earning deposits at banks (primarily held at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”)) and $38.28 billion in high-quality liquid securities (“HQLS”). HQLS are mainly composed of U.S. agency mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury investment securities. Additionally, we have unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and FRB of $17.85 billion and $10.56 billion, respectively.

In connection with the SVBB Acquisition (as defined and described in Note 2—Business Combinations), FCB and the FDIC, as lender and as collateral agent, entered into the Advance Facility Agreement (as defined and described in Note 2—Business Combinations). The draw period under the Advance Facility Agreement ended March 27, 2025, as of which date, FCB had no outstanding amounts under the facility. During the Current Quarter, we increased our borrowing capacity under agreements with the FRB through expansion of the eligible loan population to targeted loans historically not pledged to the FRB. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk” section of this MD&A for further discussion.

Also in connection with the SVBB Acquisition, FCB issued a five-year, 3.50% fixed rate Purchase Money Note (as defined in Note 2—Business Combinations), which had a carrying value of $35.84 billion at June 30, 2025. While scheduled principal payments are not required until maturity in March 2028, FCB may voluntarily prepay principal without a premium or penalty. We will continue to monitor the interest rate environment and assess whether any voluntary prepayments are prudent considering the fixed rate of 3.50%. Potential sources that could fund voluntary prepayments or the amount due at maturity include excess liquidity (primarily comprised of interest-earning deposits at banks and proceeds from maturities and paydowns of investment securities), FHLB advances, deposit growth, and issuance of unsecured debt or other borrowings. At the time of voluntary prepayment or maturity, the interest rates for the potential interest-bearing sources of repayment could be higher than the 3.50% rate.

Investment Securities Duration

At June 30, 2025, our investment securities portfolio primarily consisted of debt securities available for sale and held to maturity as summarized below. We manage debt security market risk by monitoring the average duration of our investment securities portfolio. The duration of our investment securities was approximately 2.7 years at June 30, 2025. The investment securities available for sale portfolio had an average duration of 2.3 years and the held to maturity portfolio had an average duration of 4.2 years. Refer to the “Interest-earning Assets—Investment Securities” section of this MD&A and Note 3—Investment Securities for further information.

Capital Position

At June 30, 2025, all regulatory capital ratios for BancShares and FCB exceeded the Prompt Corrective Action (“PCA”) well capitalized thresholds and Basel III requirements as further discussed in the “Capital” section of this MD&A.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

NII is affected by changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest income and expense and the respective yields and rates include amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, and impacts from hedging activities.

The following tables present the average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with the associated yields and rates, interest income and expense, and changes therein due to changes in volume and yields or rates. Changes in interest income and expense due to changes in (i) volume (average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities) and (ii) yields or rates are based on the following:

• The change in NII due to volume is calculated as the change in average balance multiplied by the yield or rate from the prior period.
• The change in NII due to yield or rate is calculated as the change in yield or rate multiplied by the average balance from the prior period.
• The change in NII due to changes in both volume and yield or rate (i.e., portfolio mix) is calculated as the change in rate multiplied by the change in volume. This component is allocated between the changes due to volume and yield or rate based on the ratio each component bears to the absolute dollar amounts of their total.
• Tax equivalent NII was not materially different from NII, therefore we present NII in our analysis.

Table 5

Average Balances, Yields and Rates, NII, and NIM (Current Quarter to Linked Quarter)

(1) Loans and leases include nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale. Interest income on loans and leases includes accretion income and loan fees.

(2) The average balances and yields for loans and leases are calculated net of average credit balances of factoring clients to appropriately reflect the interest-earning portion of factoring receivables.

NII, NIM, and Average Balances (Current Quarter Compared to Linked Quarter)

The table above quantifies the increases or decreases for the Current Quarter compared to the Linked Quarter for NII and NIM, as well as average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the respective yields earned and rates paid. The main reasons for the increases and decreases are explained below:

NII and NIM

• NII for the Current Quarter was $1.70 billion, an increase of $32 million or 2% from $1.66 billion for the Linked Quarter. NII, excluding PAA,(1) was $1.63 billion for the Current Quarter, an increase of $41 million from $1.59 billion for the Linked Quarter. The main reasons for the increases in NII and NII, excluding PAA,(1) are explained below:
• Interest and fees on loans for the Current Quarter was $2.27 billion, an increase of $34 million or 2% from $2.24 billion for the Linked Quarter. The increase was primarily due to a higher average balance and a higher day count.
• Loan PAA was $75 million for the Current Quarter, a decrease of $9 million from $84 million for the Linked Quarter.
• Interest and fees on loans, excluding loan PAA,(1) was $2.20 billion for the Current Quarter, an increase of $43 million from $2.15 billion for the Linked Quarter.
• Interest income on interest-earning deposits at banks for the Current Quarter was $256 million, an increase of $11 million or 4% from $245 million for the Linked Quarter, primarily due to a higher average balance and day count.
• Interest income on investment securities (including securities purchased under agreements to resell) for the Current Quarter was $419 million, an increase of $5 million or 1% from $414 million for the Linked Quarter, mostly due to a higher average balance.
• Interest expense on borrowings for the Current Quarter was $356 million, an increase of $17 million or 5% from $339 million for the Linked Quarter, primarily due to a higher average balance and rate paid as the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances were outstanding for the entire Current Quarter. Refer to the “Recent Events” section of this MD&A for further discussion.
• Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the Current Quarter was $894 million, a modest increase of $1 million from $893 million for the Linked Quarter, as the impacts of a higher average balance and a higher day count were mostly offset by a lower rate paid.
• NIM for the Current Quarter and Linked Quarter was 3.26%, as a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was offset by a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, a higher rate paid on borrowings, and lower PAA. NIM, excluding PAA,(1) was 3.14% for the Current Quarter, an increase of 2 bps from 3.12% for the Linked Quarter.
• The yield on average interest-earning assets for the Current Quarter was 5.67%, a decrease of 1 bp from 5.68% for the Linked Quarter, mainly due to lower loan PAA.
• The rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities for the Current Quarter was 3.19%, a decrease of 3 bps from 3.22% for the Linked Quarter, primarily due to a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the impacts of a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, and a higher rate paid on borrowings.

Refer to the “Financial Performance Summary—Balance Sheet Highlights,” “Interest-earning Assets,” and “Interest-bearing Liabilities” sections of this MD&A for discussions of balance sheet trends that impact average interest-earning assets, average interest-bearing liabilities, and the related yields earned and rates paid.

NII and NIM - Current YTD compared to Prior YTD

The table above quantifies the increases or decreases for the Current YTD compared to the Prior YTD for NII and NIM, as well as average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the respective yields earned and rates paid. The main reasons for the increases and decreases are explained below:

NII and NIM

• NII for the Current YTD was $3.36 billion, a decrease of $280 million or 8% from $3.64 billion for the Prior YTD. NII, excluding PAA,(1) was $3.22 billion for the Current YTD, a decrease of $124 million from $3.34 billion for the Prior YTD. The main reasons for the decreases in NII and NII, excluding PAA,(1) are explained below:
• Interest and fees on loans for the Current YTD was $4.51 billion, a decrease of $270 million or 6% from $4.78 billion for the Prior YTD, mainly due to lower yields and loan PAA, partially offset by the impact of a higher average balance.
• Loan PAA was $159 million in the Current YTD, a decrease of $149 million from $308 million for the Prior YTD.
• Interest and fees on loans, excluding loan PAA,(1) was $4.35 billion for the Current YTD, a decrease of $121 million from $4.47 billion for the Prior YTD.
• Interest income on investment securities (including securities purchased under agreements to resell) for the Current YTD was $833 million, an increase of $221 million or 36% from $612 million for the Prior YTD. The increase was mainly due to a higher yield and average balance.
• Interest income on interest-earning deposits at banks for the Current YTD was $501 million, a decrease of $325 million or 39% from $826 million for the Prior YTD, due to a lower average balance and a decline in the federal funds rate.
• Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the Current YTD was $1.79 billion, a decrease of $116 million or 6% from $1.90 billion for the Prior YTD, as a lower rate paid was partially offset by the impact of a higher average balance.
• Interest expense on borrowings for the Current YTD was $695 million, an increase of $22 million or 3% from $673 million for the Prior YTD, primarily due to a higher average balance and rate paid as a result of the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances.
• NIM for the Current YTD was 3.26%, a decrease of 40 bps from 3.66% for the Prior YTD. NIM compression was mainly due to the unfavorable impacts of lower yields on loans and interest-earning deposits at banks, a mix shift from interest-earning deposits at banks to investment securities, a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits, lower PAA, and a higher average balance and rate paid on borrowings, partially offset by the favorable impacts of a decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and a higher average balance of loans. NIM, excluding PAA,(1) was 3.13% for the Current YTD, a decrease of 23 bps from 3.36% for the Prior YTD.
• The yield on average interest-earning assets for the Current YTD was 5.67%, a decrease of 58 bps from 6.25% for the Prior YTD, mainly due to declines in yields on loans and interest-earning deposits at banks, as well as lower loan PAA, partially offset by a higher yield on investment securities.
• The rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities for the Current YTD was 3.20%, a decrease of 32 bps from 3.52% for the Prior YTD, primarily due to a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the impacts of a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits, and a higher average balance and rate paid for borrowings as a result of the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances.

Provision for Credit Losses

Table 10

Provision for Credit Losses

dollars in millions

The provision for credit losses for the Current Quarter was $115 million, a decrease of $39 million from $154 million for the Linked Quarter.

• The provision for loan and lease losses for the Current Quarter was $111 million, a decrease of $37 million from $148 million for the Linked Quarter, mainly attributable to a decrease in net charge-offs of $25 million and a decrease of $8 million in the ALLL for the Current Quarter, compared to an increase of $4 million in the ALLL for the Linked Quarter.
• The decrease of $8 million in the ALLL at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025 primarily reflected decreases related to Hurricane Helene, other credit quality improvements, and a modest shift in our weighting from the downside to baseline economic scenario as further discussed in the “ALLL Methodology” section of this MD&A, partially offset by higher specific reserves for individually evaluated loans.
• The provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure for the Current Quarter was $4 million, a decrease of $2 million compared to $6 million for the Linked Quarter, mostly due to the modest shift in our scenario weighting discussed above.

The provision for credit losses for the Current YTD was $269 million, an increase of $110 million from $159 million for the Prior YTD.

• The provision for loan and lease losses for the Current YTD was $259 million, an increase of $71 million from $188 million for the Prior YTD, mainly attributable to a $43 million decline in the ALLL reserve release for the Current YTD, and an increase in net charge-offs of $28 million.
• The decrease of $4 million in the ALLL at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 reflected the decreases discussed above in the Linked Quarter comparison and the result of a mix shift from the investor dependent portfolio to the global fund banking portfolio, which has a lower loss rate relative to our other loan portfolios, partially offset by the impact of loan growth.
• The provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure for the Current YTD was $10 million, compared to a benefit of $29 million for the Prior YTD. The increase in expense of $39 million was mostly due to trends in the volume of unfunded commitments (which declined in the Prior YTD resulting in the benefit of $29 million), partially offset by a modest shift in our weighting from the downside to baseline economic scenario as further discussed in the “ALLL Methodology” section of this MD&A.

The ALLL and net charge-offs are further discussed in the “Risk Management—Credit Risk” section of this MD&A and in Note 5—Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.

Noninterest Income

The primary sources of noninterest income consist of rental income on operating lease equipment, lending-related fees, deposit fees and service charges, client investment fees, wealth management services, international fees, factoring commissions, cardholder and merchant services, and insurance commissions.

Table 11

Noninterest Income

dollars in millions

Noninterest income for the Current Quarter was $678 million, an increase of $43 million or 7%, from $635 million for the Linked Quarter, primarily due to the following:

• The increase in other noninterest income of $28 million was mainly attributable to the positive impacts from fair value changes in customer derivative positions and other non-marketable investments, as well as the Linked Quarter write-down of a held for sale asset.
• The favorable change of $7 million in the fair value of marketable equity securities.

Noninterest income for the Current YTD was $1.31 billion, an increase of $47 million or 4%, from $1.27 billion for the Prior YTD as further discussed below:

• The increase in rental income on operating lease equipment of $28 million was mainly the result of growth in the railcar portfolio.
• The increase in lending-related fees of $13 million was primarily due to higher syndication fees.
• The increase in wealth management services of $8 million reflected growth in assets under management.
• The increase in international fees of $8 million reflected higher volumes and commissions on foreign currency exchange transactions.
• The decrease in other noninterest income of $21 million was largely due a lower favorable impact from the fair value changes in customer derivative positions, as well as the write-down of a held for sale asset in the Current YTD, partially offset by favorable changes in the fair value of non-marketable equity securities.

Noninterest Expense

Table 12

Noninterest Expense

dollars in millions

Noninterest expense for the Current Quarter was $1.50 billion, an increase of $7 million or 1%, from $1.49 billion for the Linked Quarter as further discussed below:

• The increase in other noninterest expense of $19 million was mainly due to accruals totaling $15 million resulting from a vendor dispute and an increase in litigation reserves.
• The increase in professional fees of $5 million was mostly related to higher consulting costs.
• The decrease in personnel cost of $8 million was mainly due to seasonal increases in the Linked Quarter associated with employee benefits and payroll taxes, partially offset by the impact of annual merit increases being included for the entire Current Quarter.
• The decrease in equipment expense of $5 million was mainly due to lower software-related costs, mostly related to accelerated depreciation in the Linked Quarter.
• The decrease in acquisition-related expenses of $4 million is summarized in the table below.

Noninterest expense for the Current YTD was $2.99 billion, an increase of $231 million or 8% from $2.76 billion for the Prior YTD as further discussed below:

• The increase in personnel cost of $139 million was mainly due to annual merit increases and promotions, as well as net staff additions.
• The increase in marketing expense of $32 million was primarily due to marketing for Direct Bank deposits.
• The increase in other noninterest expense of $32 million was due to increases in various noninterest expense line items, as well as the other noninterest expense accruals discussed above.
• The increase in equipment expense of $27 million was mostly due to higher software-related costs, including accelerated depreciation.
• The increase in depreciation on operating lease equipment of $4 million and the increase of $8 million in maintenance and other operating lease expenses are discussed in the “Results by Segment” section of this MD&A.
• The decrease in acquisition-related expenses of $22 million is summarized in Table 13 below.

Table 13

Acquisition-related Expenses

dollars in millions

Acquisition-related personnel cost primarily includes severance and retention costs for employees associated with business combinations. These amounts are recognized over the requisite service period, if any.

Acquisition-related professional fees mainly include consulting, legal and accounting costs associated with business combinations and the related integration, optimization, and business process reengineering, including enhancements to technology. These amounts are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Table 14

Income Tax Data

dollars in millions

The ETR was 24.1% for the Current Quarter compared to 25.8% for the Linked Quarter. The lower ETR for the Current Quarter was mostly due to the revaluation of the deferred tax liability due to a change in state law enacted in the Current Quarter. The ETR was 24.9% for the Current YTD compared to 27.5% for the Prior YTD. The decrease for the Current YTD ETR compared to the Prior YTD was primarily due to a reduction in the state and local income tax rate.

The ETR is impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and international earnings, effects of changes in enacted tax laws, adjustments to valuation allowances, and discrete items. The ETR in future periods may vary from the Current Quarter ETR due to changes in these factors.

BancShares monitors and evaluates the potential impact of current events on the estimates used to establish income tax expense and income tax liabilities. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our income tax positions based on current tax law and positions taken by various tax auditors within the jurisdictions where BancShares is required to file income tax returns, as well as potential or pending audits or assessments by tax auditors. Refer to Note 15—Income Taxes for additional information.

Refer to the “Executive Overview—Recent Events” for a brief discussion on tax reform legislation enacted on July 4, 2025.

RESULTS BY SEGMENT

We made changes to the composition of our reportable segments during the first quarter of 2025 as further discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation and briefly summarized in the “Recent Events” section earlier in this MD&A. Segment disclosures for 2024 periods included in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the changes.

BancShares’ segments include the General Bank, the Commercial Bank, SVB Commercial, and Rail. All other financial information not included in the segments is reported in the Corporate section of the segment disclosures. Certain noninterest expenses are directly incurred by a segment, while others are not. Noninterest expenses not directly incurred by a segment are included in Corporate unless allocated to a segment (“Allocated Expenses”). Under our segment expense allocation methodology, Allocated Expenses increase noninterest expense of the applicable segment(s), with an offsetting decrease to Corporate noninterest expense. “All other noninterest expense” in the segment reporting tables below includes the effect of Allocated Expenses, resulting in a reduction to expense (or “Contra Expense”) for Corporate.

Refer to Note 17—Segment Information for descriptions of segment products and services.

• The $13 million increase in noninterest income was largely due to a favorable change in the fair value of marketable equity securities.
• The $13 million net decrease in all other noninterest expenses is spread amongst various accounts, including Allocated Expenses.

Corporate deposits were $45.74 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $746 million compared to $44.99 billion at March 31, 2025, mainly due to growth in the Direct Bank. Total deposits in Corporate primarily include $45.11 billion of Direct Bank deposits, with the remaining balance consisting of brokered and other deposits.

Corporate net income for the Current YTD decreased $270 million compared to the Prior YTD, primarily reflecting lower NII and higher personnel cost, partially offset by lower all other noninterest expense, acquisition-related expenses and income tax expense.

• The $349 million decrease in NII was mainly due to the unfavorable impacts of a lower average balance of interest-earning deposits at banks, a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits and lower loan PAA, partially offset by the favorable impacts of a higher average balance of investment securities and a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits.
• The $121 million increase in personnel cost was mainly due to annual merit increases and promotions, as well as net staff additions.
• The $22 million decrease in acquisition-related expenses is discussed in the “Noninterest Expense” section of this MD&A.
• The $75 million net decrease in all other noninterest expenses is spread amongst various accounts, including Allocated Expenses.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

The following discussion provides additional information about the major components of our balance sheet. Information regarding our ALLL is included in the “Risk Management—Credit Risk—ALLL Methodology” section of this MD&A and in Note 5—Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. Information regarding our capital and regulatory capital is included in the “Capital” section of this MD&A.

Interest-earning Assets

Interest-earning assets include interest-earning deposits at banks, securities purchased under agreements to resell, investment securities, loans held for sale, and loans and leases, all of which reflect varying interest rates based on the risk level and repricing characteristics of the underlying asset. Higher-risk investments typically carry a higher interest rate, but expose us to higher levels of market and/or credit risk. We strive to maintain a high level of interest-earning assets relative to total assets.

Interest-earning Deposits at Banks

Interest-earning deposits at banks are primarily comprised of interest-earning deposits at the FRB. Interest-earning deposits at banks as of June 30, 2025 totaled $26.18 billion, an increase of $4.82 billion or 23% from $21.36 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase from December 31, 2024 is related to continued liquidity and funding management and reflected deposit growth and net increases in debt, partially offset by the impacts of Class A common share repurchases, loan growth, and net purchases of investment securities.

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

Securities purchased under agreements to resell at June 30, 2025 totaled $300 million, an increase of $142 million or 89% from $158 million at December 31, 2024.

Investment Securities

The primary objective of the investment portfolio is to generate incremental income by deploying excess funds into securities that have minimal liquidity risk and low to moderate interest rate risk and credit risk. Other objectives include acting as a stable source of liquidity, serving as a tool for asset and liability management and maintaining an interest rate risk profile compatible with our objectives. Additionally, purchases of equities and corporate bonds in other financial institutions have been made under a long-term earnings optimization strategy. Changes in the total balance of our investment securities portfolio result from trends in balance sheet funding and market performance. Generally, when inflows arising from deposit and treasury services products exceed loan and lease demand, we invest excess funds into the securities portfolio or into interest-earning deposits at banks. Conversely, when loan demand exceeds growth in deposits and short-term borrowings, we allow interest-earning deposits at banks to decline and use proceeds from maturing securities and prepayments to fund loan growth. Refer to Note 3—Investment Securities and “Funding, Liquidity and Capital Overview” in the “Executive Overview” section of this MD&A for additional disclosures regarding investment securities.

The carrying value of investment securities at June 30, 2025 totaled $43.35 billion, a decrease of $744 million or 2% from $44.09 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease from December 31, 2024 resulted from maturities, sales, and payments of $4.45 billion that offset purchases of $3.13 billion, which were primarily U.S agency residential mortgage-backed and short-duration U.S. Treasury investment securities, and non-cash items, such as fair value changes for investment securities available for sale and marketable equity securities along with amortization and accretion.

Our portfolio of investment securities available for sale consists of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds. Investment securities available for sale are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of deferred taxes. As of June 30, 2025, investment securities available for sale had a net pretax unrealized loss of $321 million, compared to $762 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily reflecting changes in interest rates and maturities. The fair value of investment securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions. The fair value of the investment securities portfolio generally increases when interest rates decrease or when credit spreads tighten. Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury, and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, no allowance for credit loss was required as of June 30, 2025. For corporate bonds, we analyzed the changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased or acquired, and considered other factors including changes in credit ratings, delinquencies, and other macroeconomic factors. We determined no allowance for credit loss was required as of June 30, 2025.

Our portfolio of investment securities held to maturity consists of similar mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury securities and government agency securities described above, as well as securities issued by the Supranational Entities & Multilateral Development Banks and FDIC guaranteed certificates of deposit with other financial institutions. Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury and the Supranational Entities & Multilateral Development Banks, and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, we determined that no allowance for credit loss was required for investment securities held to maturity at June 30, 2025.

The following table presents the investment securities portfolio, segregated by major category:

The following table presents the weighted average yields for investment securities available for sale and held to maturity at June 30, 2025, segregated by major category with ranges of contractual maturities. The weighted average yields represent the yields of the underlying securities as of the specified date, June 30, 2025, within the specified maturity range. The weighted average yield on the portfolio was calculated using security-level annualized yields based on book yield to maturity and takes into account amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. The total weighted average yields for investment securities available for sale and held to maturity are based on the underlying weighted average amortized cost.

Table 23

Weighted Average Yield on Investment Securities

(1) Residential mortgage-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been included in maturity groupings based on the contractual maturity at June 30, 2025. The expected life will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay the underlying loans.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale at June 30, 2025 were $125 million, an increase of $40 million or 48% from $85 million at December 31, 2024.

Table 24

Assets Held for Sale

(1) Includes nonaccrual loans held for sale of $22 million as of June 30, 2025 and $19 million as of March 31, 2025. There were no nonaccrual loans held for sale at December 31, 2024.

Loans and Leases

The loan and lease disclosures for the Linked Quarter and 2024 periods presented in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the 2025 Loan Class Changes summarized in the “Recent Events” section of this MD&A and further discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation.

Loans and leases at June 30, 2025 were $141.27 billion, an increase of $1.05 billion or 1% from $140.22 billion at December 31, 2024. Loan growth in the Commercial Bank segment of $793 million was mainly in our industry verticals, primarily TMT and healthcare, as well as the equipment finance portfolios. Loan growth of $155 million in the SVB Commercial segment was concentrated in global fund banking loans, partially offset by a decline in our investor dependent loans. Loan growth of $100 million in the General Bank segment was primarily in the wealth portfolio.

The unamortized discount related to acquired loans was $1.45 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $148 million from $1.60 billion at December 31, 2024.

Refer to Note 4—Loans and Leases for further information.

The following table presents loans and leases by loan segment and loan class, and the respective proportion to total loans:

Interest-bearing Liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and borrowings. Interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2025 totaled $157.17 billion, an increase of $3.52 billion or 2% from $153.65 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase from December 31, 2024 was mainly due to deposit growth as well as the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances, partially offset by the Current Quarter Debt Redemption as further discussed below.

Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 2025 were $159.94 billion, an increase of $4.71 billion or 3% from $155.23 billion at December 31, 2024.

Deposit changes within our business segments compared to December 31, 2024 are discussed in the “Executive Overview—Funding, Liquidity and Capital Overview” section of this MD&A and changes from the Linked Quarter are discussed in the “Results by Segment” section of this MD&A.

The following table summarizes the types of deposits:

Table 27

Deposits

dollars in millions

We strive to maintain a strong liquidity position, and therefore, deposit retention remains a key business objective. We believe traditional bank deposit products remain an attractive option for many customers. As economic conditions change, we recognize that our liquidity position could be adversely affected if bank deposits are withdrawn. Our ability to fund future loan growth is significantly dependent on our success in retaining existing deposits and generating new deposits at a reasonable cost.

Deposit Concentrations

BancShares operates a network of branches and offices, predominantly located in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Western United States, providing a broad range of financial services to individuals, businesses and professionals. Based on branch location, our top state deposit concentrations as of June 30, 2025 were in North Carolina, South Carolina, and California, which represented approximately 25.2%, 7.7%, and 7.0%, respectively, of total deposits.

The Direct Bank had $45.11 billion or 28.2% of our total deposits as of June 30, 2025. The Direct Bank deposits mainly consist of savings deposit accounts.

SVB Commercial segment deposits as of June 30, 2025 were $37.80 billion or 23.6% of total deposits and are primarily concentrated in online banking. Deposits in the SVB Commercial segment include large dollar accounts with private equity and venture capital clients, primarily in the technology, life science and healthcare industries.

Deposit accounts with balances in excess of $50 million totaled approximately $6.30 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared to approximately $8.01 billion as of December 31, 2024.

Brokered deposits, included in time deposits in the preceding table, are a source of deposit funding but remain an immaterial amount of total deposits at less than 1% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Uninsured Deposits

The amount of uninsured deposits is estimated consistent with the methodologies and assumptions utilized in providing information to the FDIC and Federal Reserve. We estimate total uninsured deposits were $57.80 billion, which represented approximately 36.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2025, compared to $59.51 billion or 38.3% of total deposits at December 31, 2024.

Refer to the “Executive Overview—Funding, Liquidity and Capital Overview” and “Results by Segment” sections of this MD&A for further discussion of deposit composition, uninsured deposits, and recent deposit trends.

Borrowings

Total borrowings at June 30, 2025 were $38.11 billion, an increase of $1.06 billion or 3% from $37.05 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase from December 31, 2024 primarily related to the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances (refer to the table below), as well as higher securities sold under agreements to repurchase, partially offset by the Current Quarter Debt Redemption.

The following table presents borrowings, net of the respective unamortized purchase accounting adjustments and issuance costs:

A reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure is established for unfunded commitments and is included in other liabilities. BancShares estimates the expected funding amounts and applies its probability of obligor default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) models to those expected funding amounts to estimate the reserve. The reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure was $288 million at June 30, 2025, an increase of $10 million compared to $278 million at December 31, 2024 and an increase of $4 million compared to $284 million at March 31, 2025. Refer to the “Provision for Credit Losses” section of this MD&A for further discussion. Refer to Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies for information relating to off-balance sheet commitments.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is inherent in any business. BancShares has defined a moderate risk appetite and a balanced approach to risk taking with a philosophy that does not preclude higher risk business activities commensurate with acceptable returns while meeting regulatory objectives. Through the comprehensive Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework and Statement, senior management has primary responsibility for day-to-day management of the risks we face with accountability of and support from all associates. Senior management applies various strategies to reduce the risks to which BancShares may be exposed, with effective challenge by independent risk management and oversight by management committees. The Board strives to ensure that risk management is a part of our business culture and that our policies and procedures to identify, assess, respond, and monitor risk are part of the decision-making process. The Board’s role in risk oversight is an integral part of our overall Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework. The Board administers its risk oversight function primarily through its Risk Committee.

The Risk Committee structure is designed to allow for information flow, effective challenge and timely escalation of risk-related issues. The Risk Committee monitors adherence to our Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework and Statement and provides quarterly updates to the Board on risk management. Our Chief Risk Officer also provides regular reports to the Risk Committee and the Board. Management and independent risk functions make regular reports to the Risk Committee on key risk areas, including credit, market, capital, liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic, and reputational risks. The Risk Committee also reviews reports of examination by and communications from regulatory agencies, the results of internal and third-party testing and qualitative and quantitative assessments related to risk management, and any other matters within the scope of the Risk Committee’s oversight responsibilities. The Risk Committee monitors management’s response to certain risk-related regulatory and audit issues. In addition, the Risk Committee may coordinate with the Audit Committee, Technology Committee and the Compensation, Nominations and Governance Committee for the review of financial statements and related risks, technology and cybersecurity risk, compensation risk management, and other areas of responsibility.

In combination with other risk management and monitoring practices, enterprise-wide stress testing activities are conducted within a defined framework. Stress tests are performed for various risks to ensure the financial institution can support continued operations during stressed periods.

BancShares monitors and stress tests its capital and liquidity consistent with the safety and soundness expectations of the federal regulators. Refer to the “Regulatory Considerations” section of Item 1. Business included in the 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion.

BancShares has been assessing the emerging impacts of recent and potential U.S. and international tariffs and other retaliatory actions and has continued monitoring the international tensions that could impact the economy and exacerbate headwinds of elevated market volatility, global supply chain disruptions, and recessionary pressures. BancShares also continues to assess operational risks such as those associated with potential cyberattacks for FCB and third parties upon whom it relies. Assessments have not identified material impacts to date, but those assessments will remain ongoing as the conditions continue to exist and develop. BancShares is also assessing the potential risk of an economic slowdown or recession that could create increased credit and market risk having downstream impacts on earnings, capital, and/or liquidity. While economic data continues to be mixed, baseline economic forecasts reflect a decline in commercial real estate (“CRE”) property values due to current interest rate levels that impacted the ALLL forecasts. Key indicators will continue to be monitored, and impacts assessed as part of our ongoing risk management framework.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of not collecting payments pursuant to the contractual terms of loans, leases and certain investment securities. Loans and leases we originate are underwritten in accordance with our credit policies and procedures and are subject to periodic ongoing reviews. Acquired loans, regardless of whether purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) or Non-PCD, are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are subject to periodic reviews to identify any further credit deterioration. Our independent credit review function conducts risk reviews and analyses of both originated and acquired loans to ensure compliance with credit policies and to monitor asset quality trends and borrower financial strength. These reviews include portfolio analysis by geographic location, industry, collateral type, and product. We strive to identify potential problem loans as early as possible, to record charge-offs as appropriate and to maintain an appropriate ALLL that accounts for expected losses over the life of the loan and lease portfolios.

Commercial Lending and Leasing

BancShares employs a credit ratings system where each commercial loan is assigned a PD, LGD, and/or overall credit rating using scorecards developed to rate each type of transaction incorporating assessments of both quantitative and qualitative factors. When commercial loans and leases are graded during underwriting, or when updated periodically thereafter, a model is run to generate a preliminary risk rating. These models incorporate both internal and external historical default and loss data, as well as other borrower and loan characteristics, to assign a risk rating. The preliminary risk rating assigned by the model can be adjusted as a result of borrower specific facts and circumstances that, in management’s judgment, warrant a modification of the modeled risk rating to arrive at the final approved risk ratings.

Consumer Lending

Consumer lending begins with an evaluation of a consumer borrower’s credit profile against published standards. Credit decisions are made after analyzing quantitative and qualitative factors to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and secondary sources of repayment, such as collateral value.

Consumer products use traditional and measurable standards to document and assess the creditworthiness of a loan applicant. Credit standards follow industry standard documentation requirements. Performance is largely evaluated based on an acceptable pay history along with a quarterly assessment which incorporates current market conditions. Loans may also be monitored during quarterly reviews of the borrower’s refreshed credit score. When warranted, an additional review of the loan-to-value of the underlying collateral may be conducted.

ALLL Methodology

Our ALLL methodology is discussed further in the 2024 Form 10-K, in the section entitled “Critical Accounting Estimates” of the MD&A and Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation.

The loan and ALLL disclosures for the Linked Quarter and 2024 periods presented in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the 2025 Loan Class Changes summarized in the “Recent Events” section of this MD&A and further discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation.

Our ALLL estimate as of June 30, 2025 included extensive reviews of the changes in credit risk associated with the uncertainties around macroeconomic forecasts. These loss estimates consider industry risk and the actual net losses incurred during prior periods of economic stress as well as recent credit trends.

Macroeconomic Forecasts Utilized in the Estimate of the ALLL

While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of our ALLL is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control which are inherently difficult to predict, the most significant being the macroeconomic scenario forecasts that determine the economic variables, including the U.S. unemployment rate, U.S. real gross domestic product (“GDP”), home price index (“HPI”), and CRE price index utilized in the ALLL models. These economic variables are based on macroeconomic scenario forecasts with a forecast horizon that covers the reasonable and supportable period. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the macroeconomic forecasts, BancShares utilizes baseline, upside, and downside macroeconomic scenarios and weights the scenarios based on review of variable forecasts for each scenario and comparison to expectations.

For the Current Quarter, the potential impacts of new trade, tariff and other economic policies in the United States were more prevalently reflected in the baseline macroeconomic scenario, which resulted in a modest shift in our weighting from the downside to baseline economic scenario.

At June 30, 2025, ALLL estimates ranged from approximately $1.42 billion, when weighing the upside scenario 100%, to approximately $2.12 billion when weighting the downside scenario 100%. BancShares management determined that an ALLL of $1.67 billion was appropriate as of June 30, 2025.

The following table presents the U.S. unemployment rate, U.S. real GDP, HPI, and CRE price index based on the weighted-average scenario forecasts used in determining the ALLL at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The projected trends in the macroeconomic variables below may fluctuate depending on the underlying scenarios and our scenario weighting assumptions utilized for the applicable period.

(1) Represents the quarterly average U.S. unemployment rate for the years ending December 31, 2025, 2026 and 2027.

(2) Represents the year-over-year percent changes.

Qualitative Component of the ALLL

ALLL model outputs may be adjusted through a qualitative assessment to reflect trends that may not be adequately reflected within the models, which could include economic conditions, uncertainty in macroeconomic forecasts, credit quality, risk to specific industry concentrations, and any significant policy and underwriting changes. These qualitative adjustments are also used to accommodate for the imprecision of certain assumptions and uncertainties inherent in the model calculations.

ALLL and Net Charge-offs

The ALLL and net charge-offs are summarized below.

Table 34

ALLL for Loans and Leases

dollars in millions

The ALLL at June 30, 2025 was $1.67 billion, representing a decrease of $8 million compared to March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases related to Hurricane Helene, other credit quality improvements, and a modest shift in our weighting from the downside to baseline economic scenario as further discussed in the “ALLL Methodology” section of this MD&A, partially offset by higher specific reserves for individually evaluated loans.

Net charge-offs for the Current Quarter were $119 million, a decrease of $25 million from $144 million for the Linked Quarter, mainly due to lower net charge-offs in investor dependent and non-owner occupied commercial mortgage loan classes, partially offset by higher net charge-offs in the commercial and industrial loan class.

Table 35

ALLL for Loans and Leases

dollars in millions

The ALLL at June 30, 2025 was $1.67 billion, representing a decrease of $4 million from December 31, 2024, mainly due to the decreases discussed above and the result of a mix shift from the investor dependent loan class to the global fund banking loan class, which has a lower loss rate relative to our other loan classes, partially offset by the impact of loan growth.

Net charge-offs for the Current YTD were $263 million, an increase of $28 million from $235 million for the Prior YTD. The higher net charge-offs within commercial loans were mainly due to the commercial and industrial and non-owner occupied commercial mortgage loan classes, partially offset by lower net charge-offs in the investor dependent loan class.

Table 36

ALLL Ratios

The ALLL as a percentage of total loans and leases at June 30, 2025 was 1.18%, compared to 1.19% at March 31, 2025 and 1.20% at December 31, 2024. The trends in the ALLL are discussed above.

Table 37

ALLL by Loan Class

The ALLL may vary significantly from period to period due to changes in economic conditions, economic forecasts and the composition and credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio, and the related impacts on the ALLL models.

Credit Metrics

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and leases, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets. Accounting policies related to nonperforming assets are discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Table 38

Non-Performing Assets

dollars in millions

Nonaccrual loans and leases at June 30, 2025 were $1.32 billion, representing increases of $135 million and $113 million compared to December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively, mainly due to one individually evaluated nonaccrual credit in the commercial and industrial loan class (and the SVB Commercial segment).

OREO and repossessed assets were $103 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $64 million at December 31, 2024 and $105 million at March 31, 2025. The increase of $39 million compared to December 31, 2024 mainly reflects additional foreclosed CRE properties.

Delinquencies

Accruing loans 30 days or more past due were 0.52% of total loans at June 30, 2025, compared to 0.54% at December 31, 2024 and 0.73% at March 31, 2025. Delinquency status by loan class is presented in Note 4—Loans and Leases.

This table excludes the owner occupied commercial mortgage loan class.

Evolving macroeconomic and social conditions (including the shift to more hybrid work arrangements) may result in changes for General Office demand moving forward. Our General Office portfolio has experienced more negative credit quality trends relative to our other CRE portfolios. Select metrics for our General Office portfolio are summarized in the following table:

Concentration Risk

We strive to minimize the risks associated with large concentrations within specific geographic areas, collateral types or industries. Despite our focus on diversification, several characteristics of our loan portfolio subject us to risk, such as our concentrations of real estate secured loans, revolving mortgage loans and healthcare-related loans. Additionally, commercial loans may be concentrated in loans with large balances and loans in certain industries and customer groups, including private equity and venture capital.

Loan concentration data regarding our commercial and consumer loan portfolios is summarized below.

Market Risk

Interest rate risk management

BancShares is exposed to the risk that changes in market conditions may affect interest rates and negatively impact earnings. The risk arises from the nature of BancShares’ business activities, the composition of BancShares’ balance sheet, and changes in the level or shape of the yield curve. BancShares manages this inherent risk strategically based on prescribed guidelines and approved limits.

Interest rate risk can arise from many of BancShares’ business activities, such as lending, leasing, investing, deposit taking, derivatives, and funding activities. We evaluate and monitor interest rate risk primarily through two metrics.

• *Net Interest Income Sensitivity (“*NII Sensitivity”) measures the net impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on forecasted NII; and
• *Economic Value of Equity (“*EVE”) *Sensitivity (“*EVE Sensitivity”) measures the net impact of these hypothetical changes on the value of equity by assessing the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments.

BancShares uses a holistic process to measure and monitor both short term and long term risks, which includes, but is not limited to, gradual and immediate parallel rate shocks, changes in the shape of the yield curve, and changes in the relationship of various yield curves. NII Sensitivity generally focuses on shorter term earnings risk, while EVE Sensitivity assesses the longer-term risk of the existing balance sheet.

Our exposure to NII Sensitivity is guided by the Risk Appetite Framework and Statement and a range of risk metrics and BancShares may utilize tools across the balance sheet to adjust its interest rate risk exposures, including through business line actions and actions within the investment, funding and derivative portfolios.

The composition of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities generally results in a net asset-sensitive position for NII Sensitivity, whereby our assets will reprice faster than our liabilities. A component of our interest rate risk management strategy is the use of derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in market interest rates. Interest rate swaps are the primary type of derivative instrument that we use as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. These derivatives hedge interest income variability of floating rate loans indexed to SOFR, as well as fair value changes of fixed rate time deposits and long-term debt indexed to SOFR. Refer to Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments for further information on our derivative portfolio.

Our funding sources consist primarily of deposits, and we also support our funding needs through wholesale funding sources (including unsecured and secured borrowings).

The deposit rates we offer are influenced by market conditions and competitive factors. Market rates are the key factors of deposit costs, and we continue to optimize deposit costs by improving our deposit mix. Changes in interest rates, expected funding needs, as well as actions by competitors, can affect our deposit taking activities and deposit pricing. We believe our targeted non-maturity deposit customer retention is strong and we remain focused on optimizing our mix of deposits. We regularly assess the effect of deposit rate changes on our balances and seek to achieve optimal alignment between assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the results of 12-month NII Sensitivity simulations produced by our asset/liability management system. These simulations assume static balance sheet replacement with like products and implied forward market rates, and also incorporate additional internal models and assumptions, which we may update periodically, including rate dependent prepayment for certain loans and securities and repricing of interest-bearing non-maturity deposits. The below simulations assume an immediate 100 and 200 bps parallel increase and decrease from current interest rates.

Table 45

Net Interest Income Sensitivity Simulation Analysis

NII Sensitivity metrics at June 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, were primarily affected by cash increase from deposit growth and the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances, as well as impacts from changes in forward rate curve expectations.

As of June 30, 2025, BancShares continues to have an asset sensitive interest rate risk profile and the potential exposure to forecasted earnings was largely due to the composition of the balance sheet (primarily due to floating rate commercial loans and cash), as well as estimates of modest future deposit betas. Approximately 64% of our loans have floating contractual reference rates, indexed primarily to SOFR and the U.S. prime rate. Deposit betas are currently modeled to have a portfolio average of approximately 35%-40% over the twelve-month forecast horizon, including 45%-50% for interest-bearing non-maturity deposits. Deposit beta is the portion of a change in the federal funds rate that is passed on to the deposit rate. Actual deposit betas may be different than modeled, depending on various factors, including liquidity requirements, deposit mix and competitive pressures. Impacts to NII Sensitivity may change due to actual results differing from modeled expectations.

As noted above, EVE Sensitivity supplements NII simulations as it estimates risk exposures beyond a twelve-month horizon. EVE Sensitivity measures the change in the EVE due to changes in assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments in response to a change in interest rates. EVE Sensitivity was calculated by estimating the change in the net present value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items under various rate movements, including utilizing a dynamic rate level dependent modeling approach for our deposit attrition assumption. In addition to interest rate changes, other key assumptions used in our EVE Sensitivity simulations include asset prepayments, as well as balance attrition and pricing of non-maturity deposits.

The below simulations assume an immediate 100 and 200 bps parallel increase and decrease from current interest rates and the estimated impact on our EVE profile based on our current modeling approach:

Table 46

Economic Value of Equity Modeling Analysis

In addition to the above reported sensitivities, a wide variety of potential interest rate scenarios are simulated within our asset/liability management system. Scenarios that impact balance sheet composition or the sensitivity to key assumptions are also evaluated.

We use results of our various interest rate risk analyses to formulate and implement asset and liability management strategies, in coordination with the Asset and Liability Committee, to achieve the desired risk profile, while managing our objectives for market risk and other strategic objectives. Specifically, we may manage our interest rate risk position through certain pricing strategies and product design for loans and deposits, our investment portfolio, funding portfolio, or by using derivatives to mitigate earnings volatility.

The above sensitivities provide an estimate of our interest rate sensitivity; however, they do not account for potential changes in credit quality, size, mix, or changes in the competition for business in the industries we serve. They also do not account for other business developments and other actions. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that actual results would not differ materially from the estimated outcomes of our simulations.

Loan Maturity and Loan Interest Rate Sensitivity

The following table provides loan maturity distribution information:

Liquidity Risk

Our liquidity risk management and monitoring process is designed to ensure the availability of adequate cash and collateral resources and funding capacity to meet our obligations. Our overall liquidity management strategy is intended to ensure appropriate liquidity to meet expected and contingent funding needs under both normal and stressed environments. Consistent with this strategy, we maintain sufficient amounts of available cash and HQLS. Additional sources of liquidity include committed credit facilities, repurchase agreements, brokered certificates of deposit issuances, unsecured debt issuances, and cash collections generated by portfolio asset sales to third parties.

We utilize measurement tools to assess and monitor the level and adequacy of our liquidity position, liquidity conditions and trends. We measure and forecast liquidity and liquidity risks under different hypothetical scenarios and across different horizons. We use a liquidity stress testing framework to better understand the range of potential risks and their impacts to which BancShares is exposed. Stress test results inform our business strategy, risk appetite, levels of liquid assets, and contingency funding plans. Also included among our liquidity measurement tools are key risk indicators that assist in identifying potential liquidity risk and stress events.

BancShares maintains a framework to establish liquidity risk tolerances, monitoring, and breach escalation protocol to alert management of potential funding and liquidity risks and to initiate mitigating actions as appropriate. Further, BancShares maintains a contingent funding plan, which details protocols and potential actions to be taken under liquidity stress conditions.

Liquidity includes available cash and HQLS. At June 30, 2025 we had $63.62 billion of high-quality liquid assets (27.7% of total assets) and $28.51 billion of contingent liquidity sources available. The higher available cash level presented below was due in part from deposit growth, maturing investment securities, and funds received in connection with the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances. During the Current Quarter, we increased our borrowing capacity under agreements with the FRB through expansion of the eligible loan population to targeted loans historically not pledged to the FRB. As noted below, the draw period under the Advance Facility Agreement with the FDIC ended March 27, 2025, as of which date, FCB had no outstanding amounts under the facility.

Table 49

Liquidity

dollars in millions

(1) Consists of readily marketable, unpledged securities, as well as securities pledged but not drawn against at the FHLB and available for sale, and generally is comprised of U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency investment securities held outright or via reverse repurchase agreements.

(2) Current capacity is based on the amount of collateral pledged and available for use at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(3) Refer to Table 50 for additional details.

(4) The Advance Facility Agreement with the FDIC was obtained in connection with SVBB Acquisition and the draw period ended on March 27, 2025.

We fund our operations through deposits and borrowings. Our primary source of liquidity is derived from our various deposit channels, including our Branch Network and Direct Bank. Total deposits at June 30, 2025 were $159.94 billion, an increase of $4.71 billion or 3% from $155.23 billion at December 31, 2024.

We use borrowings to diversify the funding of our business operations. In addition to the Purchase Money Note and FHLB advances, borrowings also include senior unsecured notes, securities sold under customer repurchase agreements, and subordinated notes. Total borrowings at June 30, 2025 were $38.11 billion, an increase of $1.06 billion or 3% from $37.05 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the Linked Quarter Debt Issuances with aggregate principal amounts totaling $1.25 billion and partially offset by the Current Quarter Debt Redemption with aggregate principal amounts totaling $350 million, as detailed in the “Interest-bearing Liabilities—Borrowings” section of this MD&A. We continually monitor our capital needs and market conditions in an effort to diversify our borrowing base when appropriate.

FHLB Capacity

A source of available funds is advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. We may pledge assets for secured borrowing transactions, which include borrowings from the FHLB and/or FRB, or for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The debt issued in conjunction with these transactions is collateralized by certain discrete receivables, securities, loans, leases and/or underlying equipment. Certain related cash balances are restricted.

Table 50

FHLB Balances

dollars in millions

(1) Letters of credit were established with the FHLB to collateralize public funds. One of the letters of credit expired during the Current Quarter and was replaced subsequent to June 30, 2025.

FRB Capacity

Under borrowing arrangements with the FRB, FCB has access to $10.56 billion on a secured basis. During the Current Quarter, we pledged additional loan collateral and increased our borrowing capacity under agreements with the FRB. There were no outstanding borrowings with the FRB Discount Window at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

FDIC Credit Facility

FCB and the FDIC entered into the Advance Facility Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2023, and effective as of November 20, 2023, providing total advances available through March 27, 2025 of up to $70 billion solely to provide liquidity to offset deposit withdrawal or runoff of former SVBB deposit accounts and to fund the unfunded commercial lending commitments acquired in the SVBB Acquisition. There were no amounts outstanding at the end of the draw period on March 27, 2025.

Refer to Note 2—Business Combinations for further discussion.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table includes significant contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2025, representing required and potential cash outflows, including impacts from purchase accounting adjustments and deferred fees. Refer to Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding commitments. Financing commitments, letters of credit and deferred purchase commitments are presented at contractual amounts and do not necessarily reflect future cash outflows, as many are expected to expire unused or partially used.

Table 51

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

dollars in millions

(1) Long-term borrowings are presented net of purchase accounting adjustments of $107 million. On-balance sheet commitments for affordable housing partnerships are included in other liabilities and presented net of a purchase accounting adjustment of $22 million.

(2) Balance in parenthesis represents the estimated amortization of the purchase accounting adjustment and deferred costs in excess of any principal balance.

Long-term Borrowings

As displayed above in Table 51, we do not have any significant long-term debt obligations due until the Purchase Money Note matures. While scheduled principal payments are not required until maturity in March 2028, FCB may voluntarily prepay principal without a premium or penalty. We will continue to monitor the interest rate environment and assess whether any voluntary prepayments are prudent considering the fixed rate of 3.50%. Potential sources that could fund voluntary prepayments or the amount due at maturity include excess liquidity (primarily comprised of interest-earning deposits at banks and proceeds from maturities and paydowns of investment securities), FHLB advances, deposit growth, and issuance of unsecured debt or other borrowings. At the time of voluntary prepayment or maturity, the interest rates for the potential interest-bearing sources of repayment could be higher than the 3.50% rate.

Refer to the respective “Deposits” and “Borrowings” discussions in the “Interest-bearing Liabilities” section of this MD&A for further details. The Purchase Money Note is discussed further in Note 2—Business Combinations.

Counterparty Risk

We enter into interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives as part of our overall risk management practices and also on behalf of our clients. We establish risk metrics and evaluate and manage the counterparty risk associated with these derivative instruments in accordance with the comprehensive Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework and Statement.

Counterparty credit exposure or counterparty risk is a primary risk of derivative instruments, relating to the ability of a counterparty to perform its financial obligations under the derivative contract. We seek to control credit risk of derivative agreements through counterparty credit approvals, pre-established exposure limits and monitoring procedures, which are integrated with our cash and issuer related credit processes.

Derivative agreements for BancShares’ risk management purposes and for the hedging of client transactions are primarily executed with investment grade financial institutions, with others cleared through certain central party clearing houses. Credit exposure is mitigated via the exchange of collateral between the counterparties covering mark-to-market valuations. Client related derivative transactions, which are primarily related to lending activities, are incorporated into our loan underwriting and reporting processes.

Asset Risk

Asset risk is a form of price risk that is a primary risk of our leasing businesses. This relates to the risk of earning capital arising from changes in the value of owned leasing equipment. Asset risk in our leasing business is evaluated and managed in the divisions and overseen by risk management processes. In our asset-based lending business, we also use residual value guarantees to mitigate or partially mitigate exposure to end of lease residual value exposure on certain of our finance leases. Our business process consists of: (1) setting residual values at transaction inception, (2) systematic periodic residual value reviews, and (3) monitoring levels of residual realizations. Residual realizations, by business and product, are reviewed as part of the quarterly financial and asset quality review. Reviews for impairment are performed at least annually.

In combination with other risk management and monitoring practices, asset risk is monitored through reviews of the equipment markets, including utilization rates and traffic flows; the evaluation of supply and demand dynamics; the impact of new technologies; and changes in regulatory requirements on different types of equipment. At a high level, demand for equipment is correlated with GDP growth trends for the markets the equipment serves, as well as the more immediate conditions of those markets. Cyclicality in the economy and shifts in trade flows due to specific events represent risks to the earnings that can be realized by these businesses. In the Rail segment, BancShares seeks to mitigate these risks by maintaining a relatively young fleet of assets, which can bolster attractive lease and utilization rates.

CAPITAL

Capital requirements applicable to BancShares are discussed in the “Regulatory Considerations” section in Item 1. Business of the 2024 Form 10-K, including a discussion of an NPR issued on July 27, 2023 by the federal banking agencies regarding enhanced capital requirements. We will continue to monitor the status of the NPR.

BancShares’ total consolidated assets are between $100 billion and $250 billion, and, as such, BancShares is required to comply with certain enhanced prudential standards applicable to Category IV banking organizations, subject to the applicable transition periods. Additionally, an NPR released by federal banking agencies on August 29, 2023, could change the long-term debt requirements for banks with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more. If this NPR is finalized as proposed, we expect we would need to issue additional long-term debt to satisfy the requirements. For further discussion, refer to the section entitled “Regulatory Considerations—Enhanced Prudential Standards—Proposed Long-Term Debt & Clean Holding Company Requirements” in Item 1. Business of the 2024 Form 10-K.

BancShares maintains a comprehensive capital adequacy process. BancShares establishes internal capital risk limits and warning thresholds, which utilize Risk-Based and Leverage-Based Capital calculations, internal and external early warning indicators, its capital planning process, and stress testing to evaluate BancShares' capital adequacy for multiple types of risk in both normal and stressed environments. The capital management framework requires contingency plans be defined and may be employed at management’s discretion.

Common and Preferred Stock Dividends

During the first and second quarters of 2025, we paid quarterly dividends of $1.95 per share on the Class A common stock and Class B common stock. In July 2025, the Board declared a quarterly dividend on the Class A common stock and Class B common stock of $1.95 per common share. The dividends are payable on September 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of August 29, 2025.

During the first and second quarters of 2025, we paid quarterly dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as disclosed in Note 12—Stockholders' Equity. In July 2025, the Board declared dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with their terms. The dividends are payable on September 15, 2025.

Capital Composition and Ratios

As discussed earlier in the “Recent Events” section of this MD&A, the Board authorized the Class A common stock 2024 SRP and the new 2025 SRP that may commence repurchases upon completion of the 2024 SRP. During the Current Quarter and Current YTD, we repurchased 338,959 and 641,642 shares, respectively, under the 2024 SRP. Refer to the “Recent Events” section above for more information and Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds for our monthly repurchase activity during the Current Quarter.

The following table details the change in outstanding Class A common stock through June 30, 2025. Refer to Note 12—Stockholders' Equity for additional information.

Table 52

Changes in Shares of Class A Common Stock Outstanding

We also had 1,005,185 Class B common stock outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

We are committed to effectively managing our capital to protect our depositors, creditors and stockholders. We continually monitor the capital levels and ratios for BancShares and FCB to ensure they exceed the minimum requirements imposed by regulatory authorities and to ensure they are appropriate given growth projections, risk profile and potential changes in the regulatory or external environment. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material impact on our operations or consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with GAAP, the unrealized gains and losses on certain assets and liabilities, net of deferred taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. These amounts are excluded from the calculation of our regulatory capital ratios under current regulatory guidelines.

Table 53

Analysis of Capital Adequacy

dollars in millions

(1) Adjusted capital ratios exclude the impact of the FDIC Shared-Loss Agreement and are considered non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” section of this MD&A for a reconciliation from the most comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP measure.

(2) The adjusted tier 1 leverage ratio is not applicable because the FDIC Shared-Loss Agreement did not impact the tier 1 leverage ratio.

As of June 30, 2025, BancShares and FCB had risk-based capital ratio conservation buffers of 6.25% and 6.06%, respectively, which are in excess of the Basel III conservation buffer of 2.50%. As of December 31, 2024, BancShares and FCB’s risk-based capital ratio conservation buffers were 7.04% and 6.66%, respectively. The capital ratio conservation buffers represent the excess of the regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 over the Basel III minimum for the applicable ratio. Additional Tier 1 capital for BancShares includes perpetual preferred stock.

Additional Tier 2 capital for BancShares and FCB primarily consists of qualifying ALLL and qualifying subordinated debt.

Termination of the Shared-Loss Agreement with the FDIC

The risk-based capital ratios of FCB and BancShares for periods in which the Shared Loss Agreement (as defined in Note 2—Business Combinations) was effective were calculated using favorable risk-weighted assets (“RWA”) assumptions permissible for Covered Assets (as defined in Note 2—Business Combinations in our 2024 Form 10-K). FCB and the FDIC entered into the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement on April 7, 2025 (the “Shared-Loss Termination Date”) as further discussed in the “Recent Events” section of this MD&A. FCB and BancShares are not permitted after the Shared-Loss Termination Date to apply the favorable RWA assumptions to assets that were previously Covered Assets under the Shared-Loss Agreement. The table above includes risk-based capital ratios as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, both including and excluding the impact of the Shared Loss Agreement to illustrate the approximated decreases in the risk-based capital ratios as a result of entering into the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” section of this MD&A for further discussion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The accounting and reporting policies of BancShares are described in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation in the 2024 Form 10-K.

The ALLL is considered a critical accounting estimate. For more information regarding the ALLL, refer to the “Credit Risk— ALLL Methodology” section of this MD&A and Note 5—Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board but are not yet effective for BancShares:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

BancShares provides certain non-GAAP information in reporting its financial results to give investors additional data to evaluate its operations. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance or financial position that may either exclude or include amounts, or is adjusted in some way to the effect of including or excluding amounts, as compared to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP financial statements. BancShares’ management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial information, can provide transparency about, or an alternate means of assessing, its operating results and financial position to its investors, analysts and management. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or a substitute for, GAAP measures presented in BancShares’ consolidated financial statements and other publicly filed reports. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other institutions.

Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure we will generally define and present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation between the GAAP financial measure and the non-GAAP financial measure. We describe each of these measures below and explain why we believe the measure to be useful.

PPNR

PPNR is a non-GAAP measure of profit or loss calculated as net income plus the provision for credit losses and income tax expense (benefit). PPNR is a measure of segment profit or loss that is meaningful because it enables management and external users of financial statements to assess income before income taxes excluding the provision for credit losses, which can be more volatile when economic conditions are more dynamic.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income, the comparable GAAP measure, to PPNR:

Table 54

PPNR

Net Rental Income on Operating Lease Equipment for Commercial Bank and Rail Segments

Net rental income on operating lease equipment is a non-GAAP measure calculated as rental income on operating lease equipment less depreciation on operating lease equipment, as well as maintenance and other operating lease expenses, if any. Presentation of net rental income for the Commercial Bank and Rail segments also results in the noninterest income, noninterest expense, and revenue subtotals being presented net of depreciation and maintenance. These measures are meaningful because they enable management to monitor the performance and profitability of operating leases after deducting direct expenses.

The following tables reconcile the most comparable GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures for the Commercial Bank and Rail segments.

Table 55

Commercial Bank Segment

dollars in millions

Rail segment net income, rental income on operating lease equipment and net rental income on operating lease equipment are utilized to measure profitability. Net rental income on operating lease equipment is calculated as rental income on operating lease equipment reduced by depreciation, maintenance and other operating lease expenses. Due to the nature of our portfolio, which is essentially all operating lease equipment, certain financial measures commonly used by banks, such as NII, are not as meaningful for this segment. NII is not used because it includes the impact of debt costs funding our operating lease assets but excludes the associated net rental income.

Table 56

Rail Segment

105

NII, NIM, and Interest and Fees on Loans, Excluding PAA

NII and NIM, excluding PAA, and interest and fees on loans, excluding loan PAA are meaningful metrics as they allow management to analyze NII, NIM and loan interest income trends more directly related to the rates of the underlying interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Loan PAA is primarily related to the loan discount in the SVBB Acquisition. Other PAA is primarily related to the discount on the Purchase Money Note and the premium on deposits assumed in the merger with CIT Group Inc.

The following table reconciles NII to NII, excluding PAA, NIM to NIM, excluding PAA, and interest and fees on loans to interest and fees on loans, excluding loan PAA:

Adjusted Risk-Based Capital Ratios

FCB and the FDIC entered into the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement on April 7, 2025, after which time FCB and BancShares were no longer permitted to apply favorable RWA assumptions to the Covered Assets under the Shared-Loss Agreement. Adjusted risk-based capital ratios exclude the favorable impact of the Shared-Loss Agreement and are meaningful metrics as these ratios are expected to decrease in future periods.

The following table reconciles the Shared-Loss Agreement impact to the total risk-based, CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios of BancShares and FCB:

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding the financial condition, results of operations, business plans, asset quality, future performance, and other strategic goals of BancShares. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “targets,” “designed,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “potential,” “continue,” “aims,” “strives” or other similar words and expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on BancShares’ current expectations and assumptions regarding BancShares’ business, the economy, and other future conditions.

Because forward-looking statements relate to future results and occurrences, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances and other factors that are difficult to predict. Many possible events or factors could affect BancShares’ future financial results and performance and could cause actual results, performance or achievements of BancShares to differ materially from any anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, general competitive, economic (including the imposition of tariffs or trade barriers on trading partners), political (including the makeup of the U.S. Congress and Trump administration), geopolitical (including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), natural disasters and market conditions, including changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions and the impacts related to or resulting from previous bank failures, the risks and impacts of future bank failures and other volatility in the banking industry, public perceptions of our business practices, including our deposit pricing and acquisition activity, the financial success or changing conditions or strategies of BancShares’ vendors or customers, including changes in demand for deposits, loans and other financial services, fluctuations in interest rates, changes in the quality or composition of BancShares’ loan or investment portfolio, actions of government regulators, including interest rate decisions by the Federal Reserve, changes to estimates of future costs and benefits of actions taken by BancShares, BancShares’ ability to maintain adequate sources of funding and liquidity, the potential impact of decisions by the Federal Reserve on BancShares’ capital plans, adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions, including significant turbulence in the capital or financial markets, the impact of any sustained or elevated inflationary environment, the impact of any cyberattack, information or security breach, the impact of implementation and compliance with current or proposed laws (including the OBBBA), regulations and regulatory interpretations, including potential increased regulatory requirements, limitations, and costs, such as FDIC special assessments, increases to FDIC deposit insurance premiums and the proposed interagency rule on regulatory capital, along with the risk that such laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations may change, the availability of capital and personnel, and the risks associated with BancShares’ previous acquisition transactions or any future transactions.

BancShares’ 2024 SRP allows BancShares to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock through 2025. After completion of maximum repurchases under the 2024 SRP, BancShares’ 2025 SRP allows BancShares to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock through 2026. BancShares is not obligated under the 2024 SRP or the 2025 SRP to repurchase any minimum or particular number of shares, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time (subject to the terms of any Rule 10b5-1 plan in effect) without prior notice. The authorizations to repurchase Class A common stock pursuant to the 2024 SRP and the 2025 SRP will be utilized at management’s discretion. The actual timing and amount of Class A common stock that may be repurchased under either plan will depend on a number of factors, including the terms of any Rule 10b5-1 plan then in effect, price, general business and market conditions, regulatory requirements, and alternative investment opportunities or capital needs.

Except to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations, BancShares disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments. Additional factors which could affect the forward-looking statements can be found in the 2024 Form 10-K and BancShares’ other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Market risk is the potential economic loss resulting from changes in market prices and interest rates. This risk can either result in diminished current fair values of financial instruments or reduced NII in future periods. Changes in fair value that result from movement in market rates cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Therefore, the impact that future changes in market rates will have on the fair values of financial instruments is uncertain.

The information required by this Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk is set forth in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations within the “Risk Management” section and in Item 1. Financial Statements within Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 11—Fair Value of this Form 10-Q.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we are able to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Exchange Act.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We review our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and make changes intended to ensure the quality of our financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, BancShares’ internal control over financial reporting.

Except for the updated risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors during 2025 from those reported in our 2024 Form 10-K. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that management believes are material to an investment in us, refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of our 2024 Form 10-K, and Forward-Looking Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Changes in domestic and foreign trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The U.S. government recently announced changes to its trade policies, including increasing tariffs on imports, in some cases significantly, and potentially renegotiating or terminating existing trade agreements. The current tariff environment is dynamic and uncertain, as the U.S. government has announced widespread tariff reform, with the effectiveness delayed in many cases. Changes to tariffs and other trade restrictions can be announced at any time with little or no notice. We cannot predict with certainty the future trade policy of the United States or other countries. Additionally, potential tariffs or other U.S. trade policy measures have triggered retaliatory actions by other countries such as China. Increased tariffs and trade restrictions may cause the prices of our customers’ products to increase, which could reduce demand for such products, or reduce our customers’ margins, and adversely impact their revenues, financial results, and ability to service debt. This, in turn, could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions. Disruptions and volatility in the financial markets may lead to adverse changes in the availability, terms and cost of capital, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
