Key Financial Highlights

•Net income of $494 million and $1.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, increased $112 million and $195 million, with earnings per diluted common share up $0.28 to $1.05 and up $0.54 to $2.74, compared to the same periods in 2024.

•Net interest income of $1.5 billion and $4.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, increased $119 million and $95 million compared to the same periods in 2024, driven by higher net interest margin reflecting lower funding costs, the time-based benefits of the Non-Core portfolio runoff, terminated swap impacts, and fixed-rate asset repricing benefits.

•Net interest margin on an FTE basis of 3.00% and 2.95% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, increased 23 basis points and 10 basis points compared to the same periods in 2024, driven by lower funding costs, the time-based benefits of the Non-Core portfolio runoff, terminated swap impacts, and fixed-rate asset repricing benefits.

•Noninterest income of $630 million and $1.8 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, increased $98 million and $172 million compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily driven by higher wealth, mortgage banking, capital markets, and service charge fees.

•Noninterest expense of $1.3 billion and $4.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, increased $76 million and $50 million compared to the same periods in 2024, driven by salaries and employee benefits reflecting hiring related to the Private Bank and Private Wealth build-out, strong capital markets fee performance, and increased medical benefit costs. The increase during the nine-month period was partially offset by a decline in other operating expense primarily driven by lower FDIC deposit insurance costs.

Sale of Education Loans

During the first quarter of 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell $1.9 billion of Non-Core education loans and subsequently reclassified these loans to LHFS. Upon reclassification to LHFS, a charge-off of $25 million was recognized, which was covered by existing reserves. This transaction will settle ratably each quarter throughout 2025, of which approximately $1.4 billion has settled to date, with the remaining $500 million scheduled to settle during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Other Developments

On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of several court challenges of its climate disclosure rule. The rule requires companies to disclose certain climate-related matters, including risks, activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks, governance, financial effects of severe weather events, and audited measurements of certain greenhouse gas emissions. The SEC paused implementation of the rule last year while federal courts considered various legal challenges brought by states, businesses, and business groups, which were consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. With the SEC withdrawing from the lawsuit, litigation is expected to continue with the court ultimately deciding whether the rule will remain in effect as adopted. The rule remains stayed until the litigation is resolved. For additional information regarding the SEC’s climate-related rule and other climate-related laws and regulations that we may be subject to, see “Regulation and Supervision” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, entitled the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law. This bill includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting individuals and businesses, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts & Jobs Act provisions, extending certain Inflation Reduction Act energy incentives while accelerating the phase-out of others, and implementing various other tax cuts and spending measures. We have completed our initial evaluation of the bill and do not expect it to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

On July 16, 2025, the FDIC, FRB, and OCC issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking (“NPR”) to rescind the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) final rule issued in October 2023 and replace it with the prior CRA regulations adopted by the agencies in 1995, with certain technical amendments. The NPR is intended to restore certainty in the CRA regulatory framework for stakeholders and limit regulatory burden on financial institutions. For additional information regarding the CRA, see “Regulation and Supervision” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

We will continue to monitor these regulatory and legislative developments and evaluate their associated impact on us.
