** These market value adjustments relate to assets held for employee and director benefits that are offset within salaries and employee benefits and other non-interest expense. |
Total revenue increased 1 percent on a reported basis and increased 2 percent on an adjusted basis(1) compared to the second quarter of 2025. Net interest income remained stable as the benefits of new fixed-rate asset originations and reinvestments, as well as one additional day in the quarter, were offset by nonrecurring beneficial items that occurred in the prior quarter that did not repeat. Total net interest margin was also negatively impacted by the additional day and cash balances that remained elevated during the quarter, ultimately contributing to an 6 basis point decline to 3.59 percent.
Non-interest income increased 2 percent on a reported basis and 6 percent on an adjusted basis(1) compared to the second quarter of 2025. Capital markets income excluding valuation adjustments on customer derivatives increased 22 percent, representing a new quarterly record. The linked-quarter increase was attributable to higher merger and acquisition advisory services, commercial swaps sales, loan syndications, and securities underwriting income. Service charges increased 6 percent due primarily to increased account openings, seasonally higher activity, and one additional business day in the quarter. Wealth management income increased 5 percent and represented another record quarter, driven primarily by elevated sales activity and favorable market conditions. Other miscellaneous income also increased during the quarter attributable primarily to gains from the sale of certain low income housing tax credit investments, small business investment company income and a gain on the sale of certain commercial leasing equipment. Partially offsetting these gains were reductions in mortgage income and card and ATM fees. Adjusted items during the quarter include the company’s execution of a strategic securities repositioning resulting in a $25 million loss.

* The company holds assets in order to offset the market value adjustments on 401(k) liabilities and the market value adjustments on those assets are recorded in non-interest income. |
Non-interest expense increased 3 percent on a reported basis and 4 percent on an adjusted basis(1) compared to the second quarter of 2025. As expected, salaries and benefits increased 2 percent, driven primarily by one additional work day in the quarter, increased revenue-based incentive compensation associated with elevated capital markets revenue, and further progress on growth initiative-related hires. Visa class B shares expense also increased during the quarter reflecting the company’s proportional share of Visa’s recent escrow funding announcement.
The company’s third quarter efficiency ratio was 57.2 percent on a reported basis and 56.9 percent on an adjusted basis(1), and the effective tax rate was 19.7 percent.

Average loans increased approximately 1 percent compared to the prior quarter, while total ending loans decreased approximately 1 percent. Average business loans grew 1 percent during the quarter, while average consumer loans decreased slightly. Growth in average business lending was attributable primarily to sequential growth in financial services, government and public sectors, commercial durable goods manufacturing, and utilities within commercial and industrial loans, along with a modest increase in commercial real estate loans.

The company believes its deposit base continues to be a source of strength and an industry differentiator in liquidity and margin performance. Ending and average deposits remained relatively stable during the quarter as average consumer deposits remained roughly flat, which is slightly ahead of typical seasonal trends, while average commercial deposits continued to exhibit strength primarily across money market and interest-bearing checking.

Overall asset quality metrics remained stable to improving during the most recent quarter. Net charge-offs were $135 million or an annualized 55 basis points of average loans during the third quarter, representing an 8 basis point increase compared to the second quarter. The majority of business services charges came from previously identified portfolios of interest which were already reserved for. Business services criticized loans improved significantly during the quarter, decreasing almost $1 billion, or 20 percent, while non-performing loans decreased 2 percent with the ratio of non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans declining 1 basis point to 79 basis points.
As a result of the significant improvement in business services criticized loans and the overall decline in non-performing loans, as well as solid progress made on resolutions within certain previously identified portfolios of interest, the company’s allowance for credit losses decreased $30 million over the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses ratio decreased 2 basis points to 1.78 percent, while the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 226 percent compared to the second quarter.

Regions maintained a solid capital position in the third quarter with estimated capital ratios remaining well above current regulatory requirements. At quarter-end, the Common Equity Tier 1(2) and Tier 1 capital(2) ratios were estimated at 10.8 percent and 11.9 percent respectively.
Tangible common book value per share(1) ended the quarter at $13.49, a 4 percent increase quarter-over-quarter and a 10 percent increase year-over-year.
During the third quarter, the company repurchased approximately 10 million shares of common stock for a total of $251 million through open-market purchases and declared $235 million in dividends to common shareholders.
The company’s liquidity position also remained robust with total available liquidity as of Sept. 30, 2025, of approximately $69 billion, which includes cash held at the Federal Reserve, FHLB borrowing capacity, unencumbered securities, and capacity at the Federal Reserve’s facilities such as the Discount Window or Standing Repo Facility. These sources are sufficient to cover uninsured deposits at a ratio of approximately 181 percent as of quarter-end (excluding intercompany and secured deposits).

Forward-Looking Statements
This release and the accompanying earnings call may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, the company, through its senior management, may from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning the matters described herein. The words “future,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “objectives,” “estimates,” “expects,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “can,” and similar terms and expressions often signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information, but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Those statements are based on general assumptions and are subject to various risks, and because they also relate to the future they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described below:
- Current and future economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the communities we serve (in particular the Southeastern United States), including the effects of possible declines in property values, increases in interest rates and unemployment rates, inflation, financial market disruptions and potential reductions of economic growth, which may adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and conditions.
- Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations, including tariffs, which could have a material adverse effect on our businesses and our financial results and conditions.
- Changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets (such as our portfolio of investment securities) and obligations, as well as the availability and cost of capital and liquidity.
- Volatility and uncertainty about the direction of interest rates and the timing of any changes, which may lead to increased costs for businesses and consumers and potentially contribute to poor business and economic conditions generally.
- Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans and leases.
- Changes in the speed of loan prepayments, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs, credit loss provisions or actual credit losses where our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses.
- Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to declining interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.
- Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits and the related effect on our ability to increase assets and to attract deposits, which could adversely affect our net income.
- Loss of customer checking and savings account deposits as customers pursue other, higher-yield investments, or the need to price interest-bearing deposits higher due to competitive forces. Either of these activities could increase our funding costs.
- Possible downgrades in our credit ratings or outlook could, among other negative impacts, increase the costs of funding from capital markets.
