Taxes

The fourth quarter of 2025 had a tax expense of $26 million compared to $30 million of tax expense in the prior quarter and $16 million of tax benefit in the same period last year. The tax benefit in the comparable quarter was driven primarily by a loss on income before income taxes as a result of nonrecurring items associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter of 2024.

In 2026, we expect the annual effective tax rate to be between 19% and 21%, assuming no change in the corporate tax rate and excluding any impact from the acquisition of American National Corporation.

Credit

Full year 2025 provision for credit losses was $54 million, compared to a provision of $85 million in the prior year.

The fourth quarter 2025 provision for credit losses was $7 million, compared to a provision of $16 million in the prior quarter and a provision of $17 million in the same period last year. With respect to fourth quarter 2025 credit quality:

•Nonaccrual loans of $100 million decreased $6 million, or 5%, from the prior quarter and decreased $23 million, or 19%, from the same period last year.

The Company’s capital position remains strong, with a CET1 capital ratio of 10.49% at December 31, 2025. The Company’s capital ratios continue to be in excess of the Basel III “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks on a fully phased in basis.
