F.N.B. Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Earnings

Net interest income totaled $359.3 million, an increase of $35.4 million, or 10.9%, reflecting growth in average earning assets and lower interest-bearing deposit costs, partially offset by lower yields on earning assets. The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) increased 22 basis points to 3.25%. The yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) decreased 9 basis points to 5.14%, driven by a 12 basis point decline in yields on loans to 5.56%, partially offset by a 13 basis point increase in yields on investment securities to 3.54%. Total cost of funds decreased 31 basis points to 2.01%, with a 36 basis point decrease in interest-bearing deposit costs to 2.40% and a 57 basis point decrease in total borrowing costs. The FOMC has lowered the target federal funds rate by 175 basis points since August 2024.

Average loans and leases totaled $34.9 billion, an increase of $849.4 million, or 2.5%, driven by growth of $1.1 billion in average consumer loans. Average commercial and industrial loans increased $266.4 million, or 3.5%, and average commercial leases increased $21.4 million, or 2.8%, offset by the decline in average commercial real estate loans of $503.1 million, or 4.0%. Solid commercial and industrial loan growth in the Charlotte, North Carolina market and equipment financing was offset by expected commercial real estate loan payoffs. The increase in average consumer loans included an $873.4 million, or 10.9%, increase in residential mortgage loans largely due to the continued successful execution in key markets and long-standing strategy of serving the purchase market, which was partially offset by the sale of approximately $200 million of performing residential mortgage loans in February 2026. Average consumer lines of credit increased $164.1 million, or 12.0%, and indirect auto loans increased $28.0 million, or 3.7%, both reflecting solid organic growth in the portfolio.

Average deposits totaled $38.4 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 3.8%. The growth in average money market deposits of $1.0 billion, average interest-bearing demand deposits of $241.0 million and average non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $180.3 million more than offset the decline in average savings deposits of $42.0 million and average time deposits of $30.7 million. The mix of non-interest-bearing demand deposits to total deposits was stable at 26% at both March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 90.3% at March 31, 2026, compared to 91.9% at March 31, 2025.

Non-interest income totaled $91.0 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 3.7%. Capital markets income increased $1.5 million, or 27.8%, reflecting solid contributions from debt capital markets, swap fees and international banking income. Wealth Management revenues increased $0.6 million, or 2.8%, as trust services income and securities commissions and fees increased 3.5% and 1.8%, respectively, through continued strong contributions across the geographic footprint. Other non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 49.5%, from miscellaneous gains, while bank-owned life insurance decreased $1.2 million, reflecting higher life insurance claims in the year-ago quarter.

Non-interest expense totaled $257.9 million, increasing $11.1 million, or 4.5%. Net occupancy and equipment increased $5.1 million, or 11.1%, primarily due to technology-related investments and higher occupancy costs, which included unusually high seasonal snow removal costs. Bank shares tax increased $0.4 million, or 10.7%, reflecting a higher capital base. Other non-interest expense increased $6.8 million, or 30.4%, due to higher fraud losses, various litigation-related expenses and the impact of Community Uplift, an affordable mortgage down payment assistance program.

The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO decreased 14 basis points to 0.34%. Total delinquency decreased 1 basis point to 0.74%. Overall, asset quality metrics remain at solid levels.

The provision for credit losses was $18.5 million, compared to $17.5 million. The first quarter of 2026 reflected net charge-offs of $15.9 million, or 0.18% annualized of total average loans, compared to $12.5 million, or 0.15% annualized, reflecting continued proactive management of the loan portfolio. The ACL was $443.0 million, an increase of $14.2 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases increasing 1 basis point to 1.26%.

The effective tax rate was 21.2%, compared to 20.9% in the first quarter of 2025.

The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 11.4% (estimated) at March 31, 2026, and 10.7% at March 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $12.06 at March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.23, or 11.4%, from $10.83 at March 31, 2025. AOCI reduced the current quarter tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.24, compared to a reduction of $0.34 at the end of the year-ago quarter.

First Quarter 2026 Results – Comparison to Prior Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2025, except as noted.)

Net interest income totaled $359.3 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 1.7%, primarily due to two less days in the current quarter and lower yields on earning assets, partially offset by lower cost of funds. The total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) decreased 11 basis points to 5.14%. The total cost of funds decreased 8 basis points to 2.01%, as the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 13 basis points to 2.40% and total borrowing costs decreased 12 basis points to 4.23%. Total average borrowings increased $356.9 million due to normal seasonal outflows of deposits. The resulting net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) was 3.25%, a 3 basis point decline.

Average loans and leases totaled $34.9 billion, a slight decrease of $83.0 million, or 1.0% annualized, as average consumer loans increased $48.8 million, offsetting the decrease of $131.8 million in average commercial loans and leases. End of period balances for consumer loans and commercial loans and leases increased $198.2 million and $136.0 million, respectively, as loan activity began to accelerate late in the quarter. For consumer lending, average consumer lines of credit increased $32.1 million and indirect auto loans increased $28.2 million, both reflecting solid organic growth in the portfolio and offsetting the impact of the loan sale on average residential mortgages. Average commercial loans and leases included declines of $299.2 million in average commercial real estate loans from secondary market activity and $28.2 million in average commercial leases, partially offset by an increase of $201.4 million in average commercial and industrial loans.

Average deposits totaled $38.4 billion, a decrease of $264.8 million, due to the impact of normal seasonal outflows in public funds and other corporate deposit balances. The decreases in average time deposits of $221.8 million and average non-interest-bearing deposit balances of $190.3 million were partially offset by growth in average interest-bearing demand deposits of $104.4 million and average savings deposit balances of $37.5 million. End of period total deposits increased $141.8 million as deposit inflows increased near the end of the quarter from their seasonal lows. The mix of non-interest-bearing demand deposits to total deposits was stable at 26% for both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio totaled 90.3% at March 31, 2026, compared to 89.7% at December 31, 2025.

Non-interest income totaled $91.0 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 1.5%, from the prior quarter. Insurance commission and fees increased $1.4 million, or 30.3%, driven by seasonal contingent revenue and new client acquisition. Mortgage banking operations income increased $0.7 million, or 12.7%, primarily due to an 8% increase in sold loan volumes. Dividends on non-marketable equity securities increased $0.6 million, or 9.9%, from higher Federal Home Loan Bank activity. Service charges decreased $1.2 million, or 5.2%, primarily from the seasonally higher consumer transaction volumes in the prior quarter. Bank-owned life insurance decreased $1.2 million, reflecting higher life insurance claims in the prior quarter.

Non-interest expense totaled $257.9 million, a decrease of $15.3 million, or 5.6%, compared to the prior quarter. When adjusting for $16.6 million¹ (pre-tax) of significant items in the fourth quarter of 2025, operating non-interest expense (non-GAAP) increased $1.3 million, or 0.5%. Net occupancy and equipment increased $3.0 million, or 6.3%, primarily due to unusually high snow removal costs and higher occupancy costs. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.9 million, or 1.4%, primarily due to normal seasonal long-term compensation expense of $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, as well as seasonally higher employer-paid payroll taxes, partially offset by lower employer-paid healthcare costs and performance-based compensation. Outside services decreased $3.1 million, or 10.6%, due to lower third-party legal costs. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) totaled 56.1%, compared to 53.8% in the prior quarter, reflecting the impact of the December FOMC rate cut and two less days in the quarter on net interest income and normal seasonality.

The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO increased 3 basis points to 0.34%, and delinquency increased 3 basis points to 0.74%. Overall, asset quality metrics remain at solid levels.

The provision for credit losses was $18.5 million, compared to $18.9 million. The first quarter of 2026 reflected net charge-offs of $15.9 million, or 0.18% annualized of total average loans, compared to $16.4 million, or 0.19% annualized, reflecting continued proactive management of the loan portfolio. The ACL was $443.0 million, an increase of $3.5 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases stable at 1.26%.

The effective tax rate was 21.2%, compared to (1.8)%, reflecting the impact of the investment tax credits recognized as part of a renewable energy project financing transaction in the prior quarter.

The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 11.4% (estimated), stable to 11.4% at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $12.06 at March 31, 2026, an increase of $0.19 per share. AOCI reduced the current quarter-end tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.24 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $0.18 at the end of the prior quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating net income available to common shareholders, operating earnings per diluted common share, return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, operating non-interest expense, pre-provision net revenue (reported), operating pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, and net interest margin (FTE) to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to assess their performance and trends.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental in nature, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included later in this release under the heading "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators to GAAP."

Management believes certain items (e.g., FDIC special assessment) are not organic to running our operations and facilities. These items are considered significant items impacting earnings as they are deemed to be outside of ordinary banking activities. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.

To facilitate peer comparisons of net interest margin and efficiency ratio, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets (loans and investments) to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments (this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP). Taxable-equivalent amounts for 2026 and 2025 were calculated using a federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.

• the financial soundness of other financial institutions and the impact of volatility in the banking sector on us;

• our ability to comply with the consent orders entered into by First National Bank of Pennsylvania with the Department of Justice and the North Carolina State Department of Justice, and related costs and potential reputational harm;
• changes in federal, state or local tax rules and regulations or interpretations, or accounting policies, standards and interpretations;
• the effects of climate change and related legislative and regulatory initiatives; and
