Diluted earnings per share of $1.30 versus $0.78 in 1Q24
Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.30 versus $0.79 in 1Q24
COLUMBUS, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
“In the first quarter, we delivered 67% year-over-year earnings per share growth, fueled by net interest margin expansion, a lower provision for credit losses and excellent expense management. We also continued to build momentum, as funded loan production was at the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2022, and our credit losses declined to the lowest level in more than three years. As the quarter progressed, borrowers and investors grew more cautious amid concerns surrounding the sustainability of consumer spending and potential impacts from higher tariffs and federal government layoffs. While the economic outlook and interest rate environment remains uncertain, we’re confident in our trajectory and the strength and resilience of our balance sheet and business model, as evidenced by our updated guidance for the year,” said Synovus Chairman, CEO and President Kevin Blair.
First Quarter 2025 Highlights
- Net income available to common shareholders was $183.7 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $178.8 million or $1.25 in fourth quarter 2024 and $114.8 million or $0.78 in first quarter 2024.
- Adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $184.4 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $178.3 million or $1.25 in fourth quarter 2024 and $116.0 million or $0.79 in first quarter 2024.
- Pre-provision net revenue was $262.8 million, which fell 3% from fourth quarter 2024 but was up 22% from first quarter 2024. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue of $265.3 million declined 2% from fourth quarter 2024 and increased $47.5 million, or 22%, compared to first quarter 2024. Year-over-year growth was the result of a healthy increase in net interest income and a decline in non-interest expense.
- Net interest income was flat sequentially in the first quarter and increased $35.5 million, or 8%, compared to first quarter 2024. On a linked quarter basis, the net interest margin expanded 7 basis points to 3.35% as a result of effective deposit repricing, a lower cash position, hedge maturities and a stable Fed Funds environment, which more than offset a full quarter impact of the $500 million senior debt issuance in fourth quarter 2024.
- Period-end loans increased $39.7 million from fourth quarter 2024 as stronger loan production and core commercial lending growth was mostly offset by elevated loan payoffs and paydowns.
- Period-end core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) were $46.0 billion, a decline of $223.8 million sequentially. Seasonality in middle market deposits drove the majority of the decline. Average deposit costs declined 20 basis points sequentially to 2.26%.
- Non-interest revenue of $116.5 million declined $9.1 million sequentially and fell $2.4 million, or 2%, compared to first quarter 2024. Adjusted non-interest revenue of $117.3 million declined $7.3 million, or 6%, sequentially and increased $693 thousand, or 1%, compared to first quarter 2024. The sequential decline in adjusted non-interest revenue was largely from lower capital markets income and seasonally weaker commercial sponsorship fees. The year-over-year growth was primarily attributable to higher core banking fees and capital markets income.
- Non-interest expense and adjusted non-interest expense were $308.0 million and $307.9 million, respectively, both of which were relatively stable from the prior quarter. Non-interest expense declined 5% from first quarter 2024. Adjusted non-interest expense fell 3% year over year due to disciplined expense control and a $12.2 million decline in the FDIC special assessment. Excluding the FDIC special assessment, adjusted non-interest expense was flat year over year.
- Provision for credit losses of $10.9 million declined 67% sequentially and fell 80% compared to $54.0 million in first quarter 2024. The allowance for credit losses ratio (to loans) of 1.24% was down from 1.27% in the prior quarter, while our coverage of non-performing loans improved to 185% in first quarter 2025 from 174% in the prior quarter.
- The non-performing loan and asset ratios improved to 0.67% compared to 0.73% in fourth quarter 2024, while the net charge-off ratio for first quarter 2025 was 0.20%, down from 0.26% in the prior quarter. Total past due loans were 0.22% of total loans outstanding.
- The preliminary Common Equity Tier 1 ratio ended first quarter 2025 at 10.75% as core earnings accretion offset the impact of $120 million in common stock repurchases.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and certain of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through Synovus’ use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “assumes,” “should,” “predicts,” “could,” “would,” “intends,” “targets,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future or otherwise regarding the outlook for Synovus’ future business and financial performance and/or the performance of the banking industry and economy in general. These forward-looking statements include, among others, our expectations regarding our future operating and financial performance; expectations on our growth strategy, expense and revenue initiatives, capital management, balance sheet management, and future profitability; expectations on credit quality and performance; and the assumptions underlying our expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synovus to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Synovus’ management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this press release. Many of these factors are beyond Synovus’ ability to control or predict.
These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently known to Synovus’ management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change due to any number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks and other factors set forth in Synovus’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, under the captions “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and in Synovus’ quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date that they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise may be required by law.
