Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by Regions Financial Corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf to analysts, investors, the media and others, may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The terms “Regions,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” as used herein mean collectively Regions Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries when or where appropriate. 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.
•The loss of value of our investment portfolio could negatively impact market perceptions of us.
•Our ability to manage fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet exposure so as to maintain sufficient capital and liquidity to support our businesses.
•The effects of social media on market perceptions of us and banks generally.
•The effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect us or the banking industry generally could require us to change certain business practices, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses.
•Volatility in the financial services industry (including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions), along with actions taken by governmental agencies to address such turmoil, could affect the ability of depository institutions, including us, to attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital.
•Our ability to effectively compete with traditional and non-traditional financial services companies, including fintechs, some of which possess greater financial resources than we do or are subject to different regulatory standards than we are.
•Our inability to develop and gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customers’ needs and respond to emerging technological trends in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our revenue.
•Our inability to keep pace with technological changes, including those related to the offering of digital banking and financial services, could result in losing business to competitors.
•The development and use of AI presents risks and challenges that may impact our business.
•Our ability to execute on our strategic and operational plans, including our ability to fully realize the financial and nonfinancial benefits relating to our strategic initiatives.
•The risks and uncertainties related to our acquisition or divestiture of businesses and risks related to such acquisitions, including that the expected synergies, cost savings and other financial or other benefits may not be realized within expected timeframes, or might be less than projected; and difficulties in integrating acquired businesses.
•The success of our marketing efforts in attracting and retaining customers.
•Our ability to achieve our expense management initiatives.
•Changes in commodity market prices and conditions could adversely affect the cash flows of our borrowers operating in industries that are impacted by changes in commodity prices (including businesses indirectly impacted by commodities prices such as businesses that transport commodities or manufacture equipment used in the production of commodities), which could impair the ability of those borrowers to service any loans outstanding to them and/or reduce demand for loans in those industries.
•The effects of geopolitical instability, including wars, conflicts, civil unrest, and terrorist attacks and the potential impact, directly or indirectly, on our businesses.
•Fraud, theft or other misconduct conducted by external parties, including our customers and business partners, or by our employees.
•Any inaccurate or incomplete information provided to us by our customers or counterparties.
•Inability of our framework to manage risks associated with our businesses, such as credit risk and operational risk, including third-party vendors and other service providers, which inability could, among other things, result in a breach of operating or security systems as a result of a cyber-attack or similar act or failure to deliver our services effectively.
•Our ability to identify and address operational risks associated with the introduction of or changes to products, services, or delivery platforms.
•Dependence on key suppliers or vendors to obtain equipment and other supplies for our businesses on acceptable terms.
•The inability of our internal controls and procedures to prevent, detect or mitigate any material errors or fraudulent acts.
•Our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, malware, ransomware, “denial of service” attacks, “hacking” and identity theft, including account take-overs, a failure of which could disrupt our businesses and result in the disclosure of and/or misuse or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, disruption or damage to our systems, increased costs, losses, or adverse effects to our reputation.
•The effects of the failure of any component of our business infrastructure provided by a third party could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure of and/or misuse of confidential information or proprietary information, increase our costs, negatively affect our reputation, and cause losses.
•The effects of any developments, changes or actions relating to any litigation or regulatory proceedings brought against us or any of our subsidiaries.
•The costs, including possibly incurring fines, penalties, or other negative effects (including reputational harm) of any adverse judicial, administrative, or arbitral rulings or proceedings, regulatory enforcement actions or other legal actions to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party, and which may adversely affect our results.
•Changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses, including legislation and regulations relating to bank products and services, such as changes to debit card interchange fees, special FDIC assessments, any new long-term debt requirements, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self-regulatory agencies, including as a result of the changes in U.S. presidential administration, control of the U.S. Congress, and changes in personnel at the bank regulatory agencies, which could require us to change certain business practices, increase compliance risk, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses.
•Our capital actions, including dividend payments, common stock repurchases, or redemptions of preferred stock, must not cause us to fall below minimum capital ratio requirements, with applicable buffers taken into account, and must comply with other requirements and restrictions under law or imposed by our regulators, which may impact our ability to return capital to shareholders.
•Our ability to comply with stress testing and capital planning requirements (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) may continue to require a significant investment of our managerial resources due to the importance of such tests and requirements.
•Our ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including, among other things, the Basel III Rules), including our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms, and if we fail to meet requirements, our financial condition and market perceptions of us could be negatively impacted.
•Our ability to recruit and retain talented and experienced personnel to assist in the development, management and operation of our products and services may be affected by changes in laws and regulations in effect from time to time.
•Our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries, in particular Regions Bank, could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends to shareholders.
•Fluctuations in the price of our common stock and inability to complete stock repurchases in the time frame and/or on the terms anticipated.
•The effects of anti-takeover laws and exclusive forum provision in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
•The effect of new tax legislation and/or interpretation of existing tax law, which may impact our earnings, capital ratios and our ability to return capital to shareholders.
•Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB or other regulatory agencies could materially affect our financial statements and how we report those results, and expectations and preliminary analyses relating to how such changes will affect our financial results could prove incorrect.
•Any impairment of our goodwill or other intangibles, any repricing of assets or any adjustment of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets due to changes in tax law, adverse changes in the economic environment declining operations of the reporting unit or other factors.
•The effects of man-made and natural disasters, including fires, floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes and environmental damage (especially in the Southeastern United States), which may negatively affect our operations and/or our loan portfolios and increase our cost of conducting business. The severity and frequency of future earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods and other weather-related events are difficult to predict and may be exacerbated by global climate change.
•The impact of pandemics on our businesses, operations and financial results and conditions. The duration and severity of any pandemic as well as government actions or other restrictions in connection with such events could disrupt the global economy, adversely affect our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and increase our allowance for credit losses, impair collateral values and result in lost revenue or additional expenses.
•The effects of any damage to our reputation resulting from developments related to any of the items identified above.
•Other risks identified from time to time in reports that we file with the SEC.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time, either as a result of future developments, new information or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions” or the "Company”) provides a full range of banking and bank-related services to individual and corporate customers through its subsidiaries and branch offices located across the South, Midwest and Texas as well as delivering specialty capabilities nationwide. Regions is subject to the regulations of certain government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by certain regulatory authorities.
The accounting and reporting policies of Regions and the methods of applying those policies that materially affect the consolidated financial statements conform with GAAP and with general financial services industry practices. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes to the consolidated financial statements necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Regions has evaluated all subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the filing date of this Form 10-Q.
During 2025, the Company adopted new accounting guidance. See Note 13 for related disclosures.
NOTE 2. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Regions is involved in various entities that are considered to be VIEs, as defined by authoritative accounting literature. Generally, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal structure that either does not have equity investors with substantive voting rights or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. The following discusses the VIEs in which Regions has a significant interest.
Regions periodically invests in various limited partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects and economic development projects, which then provide tax credits to Regions. These investments are funded through a combination of debt and equity. These partnerships meet the definition of a VIE and are collectively referred to as tax credit investments in the table below. Due to the nature of the management activities of the general partner, Regions is not the primary beneficiary of these partnerships. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional details. Additionally, Regions has loans or letters of credit commitments with certain limited partnerships. The funded portion of the loans and letters of credit are classified as commercial and industrial loans or investor real estate loans as applicable in Note 4.
A summary of Regions’ tax credit investments and related loans and letters of credit, representing Regions’ maximum exposure to loss, is as follows:

In addition to the investments discussed above, Regions also syndicates affordable housing investments. In these syndication transactions, Regions creates affordable housing funds in which a subsidiary is the general partner or managing member and sells limited partnership interests to third parties. Regions' general partner or managing member interest represents an insignificant interest in the affordable housing fund. The affordable housing funds meet the definition of a VIE. As Regions is not the primary beneficiary and does not have a significant interest, these investments are not consolidated. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the value of Regions’ general partnership interest in affordable housing investments was immaterial.

_________
(1)Debt securities held to maturity gross unrealized losses recognized in OCI resulted from transfers of securities available for sale.
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on certain of the Company's fixed-rate prepayable and non-prepayable debt securities available for sale. See Note 9 for additional information.
The Company reclassified debt securities with an amortized cost, excluding items recognized in OCI, of $1.0 billion in each of the first and second quarters of 2025, for a total of $2.0 billion from available for sale to held to maturity. The Company determined it has both the positive intent and ability to hold these debt securities to maturity. The debt securities were transferred at amortized cost, in addition to the amount of any remaining unrealized holding gain or loss reported in AOCI, and represented a non-cash transaction. OCI included net pre-tax unrealized losses of $153 million and $74 million in the first and
second quarter, respectively, at the date of transfer and the offsetting OCI components are being amortized into net interest income over the remaining life of the related debt securities as a yield adjustment, resulting in no impact on future net income.
Debt securities with carrying values of $22.0 billion and $20.9 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits and other borrowing arrangements.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities held to maturity and debt securities available for sale at June 30, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The following tables present gross unrealized losses and the related estimated fair value of debt securities held to maturity and debt securities available for sale at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. For debt securities transferred to held to maturity from available for sale, the analysis in the tables below compares the debt securities' original amortized cost to its current estimated fair value. All debt securities in an unrealized position are segregated between investments that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and for twelve months or more.
The number of individual debt security positions in an unrealized loss position in the tables above decreased to 1,531 at June 30, 2025 from 1,722 at December 31, 2024. The decrease in the total amount of unrealized losses was impacted by changes in market interest rates. In instances where an unrealized loss existed, there was no indication of an adverse change in credit on the underlying positions in the tables above. As it relates to these positions, management believes no individual unrealized loss represented credit impairment as of those dates. At June 30, 2025, the Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the positions before the recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.
Gross realized losses on sales of debt securities available for sale totaled $27 million and gross realized gains totaled $1 million resulting in a recognized net realized loss of $26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These amounts were immaterial for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross realized losses on sales of debt securities available for sale totaled $50 million and $100 million, respectively, and gross realized gains were immaterial for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The cost of debt securities sold is based on the specific identification method. As part of the Company's normal process for evaluating impairment, including credit-related impairment, impairment identified by management was immaterial for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

PORTFOLIO SEGMENT RISK FACTORS
Regions' portfolio segments are commercial, investor real estate, and consumer. Classes within each segment present unique credit risks. Refer to Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for information regarding Regions' portfolio segments and related classes, as well as the risks specific to each.
CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS
The commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments' primary credit quality indicator is internal risk ratings which are detailed by categories related to underlying credit quality and probability of default. Regions assigns these risk ratings at loan origination and reviews the relationship utilizing a risk-based approach on, at minimum, an annual basis or at any time management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers' ability to fulfill their obligations. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in this review process. Refer to Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for information regarding commercial risk ratings.
Regions' consumer portfolio segment has various classes that present unique credit risks. Regions considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, accrual status, days past due status, unemployment rates, home prices, and geography as credit quality indicators for the consumer loan portfolio. FICO scores are obtained at origination as part of Regions' formal underwriting process. Refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for most consumer loans, including residential first mortgage loans. Current FICO data is not available for certain loans in the portfolio for various reasons; for example, if customers do not use sufficient credit, an updated score may not be available. These categories are utilized to develop the associated allowance for credit losses. The higher the FICO score the less probability of default and vice versa.
The following tables present applicable credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio segments and classes, excluding loans held for sale and gross charge-offs, by vintage year as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Regions defines the vintage date for the purposes of disclosure as the date of the most recent credit decision. In general, renewals that are categorized as new credit decisions reflect the renewal date as the vintage date. Classes in the commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments are disclosed by risk rating. Classes in the consumer portfolio segment are disclosed by current FICO
scores. Refer to Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for more information regarding Regions' credit quality indicators.

For modifications to troubled borrowers, a subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when a principal or interest payment is 90 days past due or classified as non-accrual status during the reporting period. Loans defaulted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 that were restructured as modifications to troubled borrowers during the previous twelve months had period-end balances of $23 million and $48 million, respectively. Loans defaulted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 that were restructured as modifications to troubled borrowers during the previous twelve months had period-end balances of $56 million and $135 million, respectively.
The fair value of residential MSRs is calculated using various assumptions including future cash flows, market discount rates, expected prepayment rates, servicing costs and other factors. A significant change in prepayments of mortgages in the servicing portfolio could result in significant changes in the valuation adjustments, thus creating potential volatility in the carrying amount of residential MSRs. The Company compares fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available, and also considers recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.
The table below presents an analysis of residential MSRs under the fair value measurement method:

(1)Purchases of residential MSRs can be structured with cash hold back provisions, therefore the timing of payment may be made in future periods.
(2)Included in mortgage income. Amounts presented exclude offsetting impact from related derivatives.
(3)Includes both total loan payoffs as well as partial paydowns. Regions' MSR decay methodology is a discounted net cash flow approach.
Data and assumptions used in the fair value calculation, as well as the valuation’s sensitivity to rate fluctuations, related to residential MSRs (excluding related derivative instruments) are as follows:

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the residential MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption, while in reality changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change. The derivative instruments utilized by Regions would serve to reduce the estimated impacts to fair value included in the table above.
Servicing related fees, which include contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and other ancillary income resulting from the servicing of residential mortgage loans totaled $47 million and $46 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $94 million and $90 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Residential mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market with standard representations and warranties regarding certain characteristics such as the quality of the loan, the absence of fraud, the eligibility of the loan for sale and the future servicing associated with the loan. Regions may be required to repurchase these loans at par, or make-whole or indemnify the purchasers for losses incurred when representations and warranties are breached.
Regions maintains an immaterial repurchase liability related to residential mortgage loans sold with representations and warranty provisions. This repurchase liability is reported in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and reflects management’s estimate of losses based on historical repurchase and loss trends, as well as other factors that may result in anticipated losses different from historical loss trends. Adjustments to this reserve are recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
Regions engages in the servicing of commercial mortgage loans through agreements with the agencies and through a DUS lending program. Commercial MSRs of loans through the agency programs are measured at fair value while commercial MSRs of loans through the DUS lending program are measured at cost and subsequently amortized.
Commercial mortgage banking through non-DUS agency programs
The fair value of commercial MSRs through non-DUS agency programs is calculated using various assumptions including future cash flows, market discount rates, expected prepayment rates, servicing costs and other factors. A significant change in prepayments of mortgages in this servicing portfolio could result in significant changes in the valuation adjustments, thus creating potential volatility in the carrying amount of these commercial MSRs. Commercial mortgages commonly have protection against prepayments in the forms of lockout periods and prepayment penalty features, which reduce the likelihood of prepayment. The Company compares fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available, and also considers recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Regions assumes a loss share guarantee associated with loans sold to Fannie Mae. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information. Also see Note 12 for additional information related to the guarantee.

Servicing related fees, which include contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and other ancillary income resulting from the servicing of commercial mortgage loans through the agency programs totaled $7 million and $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $13 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Commercial mortgage banking through the DUS lending program
Regions is an approved DUS lender. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. In connection with the DUS program, Regions services commercial mortgage loans, retains commercial MSRs and intangible assets associated with the DUS license, and assumes a loss share guarantee associated with the loans. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information. Also see Note 12 for additional information related to the guarantee.

(1)Dividends on all series of preferred stock, if declared, accrue and are payable quarterly in arrears.
(2)Dividends, if declared, will be paid quarterly at an annual rate equal to (i) for each period beginning prior to August 15, 2029, 5.700%, and (ii) for each period beginning on or after August 15, 2029, three-month CME Term SOFR plus 3.410% which includes a 0.262% spread adjustment for the transition to SOFR in accordance with ISDA protocols.
(3)Prior to the shares' full redemption on June 16, 2025, dividends were paid quarterly at an annual rate equal to (i) for each period beginning prior to September 15, 2025, 5.750%, and (ii) for each period beginning on or after September 15, 2025, the five-year Treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date plus 5.426%.
(4)Dividends, if declared, will be paid quarterly at an annual rate equal to (i) for each period beginning prior to September 15, 2024, 6.950% and (ii) for each period beginning on or after September 15, 2029, the five-year Treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date plus 2.771%.
All series of preferred stock have no stated maturity and redemption is solely at Regions' option, subject to regulatory approval, in whole, or in part, after the earliest redemption date or in whole, but not in part, at any time following a regulatory capital treatment event for the Series C, Series E, and Series F preferred stock.
The Board declared a total of $50 million and $49 million in cash dividends on preferred stock in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company redeemed all 3,500 outstanding shares of Series D non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and the corresponding depositary fractional shares at par for $350 million. Upon redemption, net income available to common shareholders was reduced by $4 million related to issuance costs.
In the event Series C, Series E, or Series F preferred shares are redeemed in full at their respective liquidation amounts, $10 million, $10 million, or $11 million in excess of the redemption amount over the carrying amount will be recognized, respectively. These excess amounts represent issuance costs that were recorded as reductions to preferred stock, including related surplus, and will be recorded as reductions to net income available to common shareholders.
COMMON STOCK
The Company's results of the 2024 stress test from the Federal Reserve reflect that the Company exceeded all minimum capital levels and the Company's SCB was floored at 2.5 percent from the fourth quarter of 2024 through the third quarter of 2025. As a Category IV bank, Regions was not required to participate in the 2025 stress test. However, the Company did receive results from the Federal Reserve during the second quarter of 2025 and from the fourth quarter of 2025 through the third quarter of 2026, the Company's SCB is expected to remain at 2.5 percent.
On April 20, 2022, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of the Company's common stock, permitting purchases from the second quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2024 and was subsequently extended on December 10, 2024 permitting repurchases through the fourth quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, Regions had repurchased approximately 51 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $1.0 billion under this plan. All of these shares were immediately retired upon repurchase and therefore were not included in treasury stock.
Regions declared $0.25 per share in cash dividends for both the first and second quarters of 2025, totaling $0.50 per common share for the first six months of 2025 as compared to $0.24 per common share for the same quarterly periods of 2024 totaling $0.48 per common share for the first six months of 2024.
On July 16, 2025, the Board declared a $0.015 increase to the quarterly common stock dividend to $0.265 which will be payable on October 1, 2025, to shareholders of record at close of business on September 2, 2025.

The effects from the assumed exercise of restricted stock units and performance stock units totaling 5 million and 4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, were not included in the above computations of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.
The effects from the assumed exercise of 7 million and 6 million in restricted stock units and awards and performance stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, were not included in the above computations of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

The service cost component of net periodic pension (benefit) cost is recorded in salaries and employee benefits on the consolidated statements of income. Components other than service cost are recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
Regions' funding policy for the qualified plans is to contribute annually at least the amount required by IRS minimum funding standards. Regions made no contributions to qualified plans during the first six months of 2025.
Regions also provides other postretirement benefits, such as defined benefit health care plans and life insurance plans, that cover certain retired employees. There was no material impact from other postretirement benefits on the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

(1)Derivatives in a gain position are recorded as other assets and derivatives in a loss position are recorded as other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Includes accrued interest as applicable. The table reflects net notional presentation and gross asset and liability presentation to capture the economic impact of the trades.
(2)Netting adjustments represent amounts recorded to convert derivative assets and derivative liabilities from a gross basis to a net basis in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The net basis takes into account the impact of cash collateral received or posted, legally enforceable master netting agreements, and variation margin that allow Regions to settle derivative contracts with the counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net position with the related cash collateral. Cash collateral, all of which is included as a netting adjustment, totaled $75 million and $106 million for derivative assets at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Cash collateral totaled $105 million and $87 million for derivative liabilities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
HEDGING DERIVATIVES
Derivatives entered into to manage interest rate risk and facilitate asset/liability management strategies are designated as hedging derivatives. Derivative financial instruments that qualify in a hedging relationship are classified, based on the exposure being hedged, as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information regarding accounting policies for derivatives.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES
Fair value hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the change in fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment.
Regions enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings and time deposits. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements. Regions also enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on certain of the Company's fixed-rate prepayable and non-prepayable debt securities available for sale. These agreements involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest receipts.
CASH FLOW HEDGES
Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions.
Regions enters into interest rate swaps, options (e.g., floors, caps and collars), and agreements with a combination of these instruments to manage overall cash flow changes related to interest rate risk exposure on variable rate loans. The agreements effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing receive fixed/pay SOFR interest rate swaps and interest rate options. As of June 30, 2025, Regions was hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows into 2034.
As of June 30, 2025, cash flow hedges were held at a pre-tax net loss of $121 million, which includes pre-tax net gains of $20 million related to terminated cash flow floors and swaps. Regions expects to reclassify into earnings approximately $155
million in pre-tax losses due to the net receipt/ payment of interest and amortization on all cash flow hedges within the next twelve months. Included in this amount is $11 million in pre-tax net gains related to the amortization of terminated cash flow floors and swaps.

(1)See Note 6 for gain or (loss) recognized for cash flow hedges in AOCI.
The following tables present the carrying amount and associated cumulative basis adjustment related to the application of hedge accounting that is included in the carrying amount of hedged assets and liabilities in fair value hedging relationships.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company designated interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of debt securities available for sale under which the Company designated $1.8 billion and $750 million, respectively, as the hedged amount from a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets with a carrying amount of $4.5 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. At June 30, 2025, approximately $10 million of the hedge accounting basis adjustments related to active portfolio layer method hedges. During 2025 the Company terminated fair value hedges related to available for sale debt securities. The terminated hedges had a remaining basis adjustment of $23 million.
The Company holds a portfolio of derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges, therefore these derivatives are marked-to-market through earnings (in capital markets income or mortgage income as appropriate) and included in other assets and other liabilities, as appropriate. Refer to Note 20 "Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for more information regarding these derivative instruments.

CREDIT DERIVATIVES
Regions has both bought and sold credit protection in the form of participations on interest rate swaps (swap participations). These swap participations, which meet the definition of credit derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to serve the credit needs of customers. Swap participations, whereby Regions has purchased credit protection, entitle Regions to receive a payment from the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to Regions upon early termination of the swap transaction and have maturities between 2025 and 2030. Swap participations, whereby Regions has sold credit protection have maturities between 2025 and 2035. For contracts where Regions sold credit protection, Regions would be required to make payment to the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to the counterparty upon early termination of the swap transaction. Regions bases the current status of the prepayment/performance risk on bought and sold credit derivatives on recently issued internal risk ratings consistent with the risk management practices of unfunded commitments.
Regions’ maximum potential amount of future payments under these contracts as of June 30, 2025 was approximately $534 million. This scenario occurs if variable interest rates were at zero percent and all counterparties defaulted with zero recovery. The fair value of sold protection at June 30, 2025 and 2024 was immaterial. In transactions where Regions has sold credit protection, recourse to collateral associated with the original swap transaction is available to offset some or all of Regions’ obligation.
CONTINGENT FEATURES
Certain of Regions’ derivative instrument contracts with broker-dealers contain credit-related termination provisions and/or credit-related provisions regarding the posting of collateral, allowing those broker-dealers to terminate the contracts in the event that Regions’ and/or Regions Bank’s credit ratings falls below specified ratings from certain major credit rating agencies. The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments with any credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, were $47 million and $47 million, respectively, for which Regions had posted collateral of $43 million and $34 million, respectively, in the normal course of business.
See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a description of valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value rarely transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. Marketable equity securities and debt securities available for sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the observability of inputs used in valuing the securities. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occur at the beginning of a reporting period.

(1)All following disclosures related to Level 3 recurring assets do not include those deemed to be immaterial.
(2)As permitted under U.S. GAAP, variation margin collateral payments made or received for derivatives that are centrally cleared are legally characterized as settled. As such, these derivative assets and derivative liabilities and the related variation margin collateral are presented on a net basis on the balance sheet.
Assets and liabilities in all levels could result in volatile and material price fluctuations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 assets represent only a portion of the risk to market fluctuations in Regions’ consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 for a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of these MSRs for three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS USING SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
Residential mortgage servicing rights
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of residential MSRs are CPR and OAS. This valuation requires generating cash flow projections over multiple interest rate scenarios and discounting those cash flows at a risk-adjusted rate. Additionally, the impact of prepayments and changes in the OAS are based on a variety of underlying inputs including servicing costs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The net change in unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings related to MSRs held at period end are disclosed as the changes in valuation inputs or assumptions included in the MSR rollforward table in Note 5 .
Commercial mortgage servicing rights through non-DUS agency programs
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of commercial MSRs are CPR and the discount rate. This valuation requires generating cash flow projections over multiple interest rate scenarios and discounting those cash flows at a risk-adjusted rate. Additionally, the impact of prepayments and changes in the discount rate are based on a variety of underlying inputs including servicing costs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The net change in unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings related to MSRs held at period end are disclosed as the changes in valuation inputs or assumptions included in the MSR rollforward table in Note 5 .
The following tables present detailed information regarding material assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The tables include the valuation techniques and the significant unobservable inputs utilized. The range of each significant unobservable input as well as the weighted-average within the range utilized at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are included. Following the tables are descriptions of the valuation techniques and the sensitivity of the techniques to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

FAIR VALUE OPTION
Regions has elected the fair value option for all eligible agency residential first mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell. This election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. Fair values of residential first mortgage loans held for sale are based on traded market prices of similar assets where available and/or discounted cash flows at market interest rates, adjusted for securitization activities that include servicing values and market conditions, and are recorded in loans held for sale. At June 30, 2025, the aggregate fair value of these loans totaled $261 million compared to aggregate unpaid principal of $254 million. At December 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of these loans totaled $222 million compared to aggregate unpaid principal of $219 million.
Interest income on residential first mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest income on loans held for sale. Net gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale, which were recorded in mortgage income in the consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were immaterial. These changes in fair value are mostly offset by economic hedging activities. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
NON-RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis includeloans held for sale for which the fair value option has not been elected, foreclosed property and other real estate and equity investments without a readily determinable fair value; all of which may be considered either Level 2 or Level 3 valuation measurements. Non-recurring fair value adjustments related to loans held for sale, foreclosed property and other real estate are typically a result of the application of lower of cost or fair value
accounting during the period. Non-recurring fair value adjustments related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values are the result of impairments or price changes from observable transactions. The balances of each of these assets, as well as the related fair value adjustments during the periods, were immaterial at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE
For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instruments. The following tables present the carrying amounts and estimated fair values, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(1)Estimated fair values are consistent with an exit price concept. The assumptions used to estimate the fair values are intended to approximate those that a market participant would use in a hypothetical orderly transaction. In estimating fair value, the Company makes adjustments for estimated changes in interest rates, market liquidity and credit spreads in the periods they are deemed to have occurred.
(2)The estimated fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the loans to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, the value to the Company if the loans were held to maturity is not reflected in the fair value estimate. The fair value discount on the loan portfolio's net carrying amount at June 30, 2025 was $2.7 billion or 2.9 percent.
(3)Excluded from this table is the sales-type, direct financing, and leveraged lease carrying amount of $1.6 billion at June 30, 2025.
(4)The fair value of non-interest-bearing deposit accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., the carrying amount) as these instruments have an indeterminate maturity date. Fair values for time deposits are estimated by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on market spreads to benchmark rates.

NOTE 11. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Each of Regions’ reportable segments is a strategic business unit that serves specific needs of Regions’ customers based on the products and services provided. The Company has three reportable segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder in Other. The segments are based on the manner in which the CODM reviews the Company's performance. The Company's CODM is the CEO, President and Chair of the Board. As a part of the CODM review, pre-tax income is utilized to allocate resources amongst segments. Additional information about the Company's reportable segments is included in Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The application and development of management reporting methodologies is a dynamic process and is subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements are made, financial results presented by each reportable segment may be periodically revised and the prior periods updated to reflect these enhancements. Accordingly, the prior periods were updated to reflect these enhancements.
The following tables present financial information, including non-interest income disaggregated by major product category, for each reportable segment:

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
Regions issues off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with lending activities. The credit risk associated with these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to Regions’ normal credit approval policies and procedures. Regions measures inherent risk associated with these instruments by recording a reserve for unfunded commitments based on an assessment of the likelihood that the guarantee will be funded and the creditworthiness of the customer or counterparty. Collateral is obtained based on management’s assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer. Credit risk is represented in unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Refer to Note 23 "Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for more information regarding these instruments.
Credit risk associated with these instruments is represented by the contractual amounts indicated in the following table:

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
Regions and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to actual or threatened legal proceedings, including litigation and regulatory matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation matters range from individual actions involving a single plaintiff to class action lawsuits and can involve claims for substantial or indeterminate alleged damages or for injunctive
or other relief. Regulatory investigations and enforcement matters may involve formal or informal proceedings and other inquiries initiated by various governmental agencies, law enforcement authorities, and self-regulatory organizations, and can result in fines, penalties, restitution, changes to Regions’ business practices, and other related costs, including reputational damage. At any given time, these legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, or investigation, and may relate to a variety of topics, including common law tort and contract claims, as well as statutory consumer protection-related claims, among others.
Assessment of exposure that could result from legal proceedings is complex because these proceedings often involve inherently unpredictable factors, including, but not limited to, the following: whether the proceeding is in early stages; whether damages or the amount of potential fines, penalties, and restitution are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery or other investigation has begun or is not complete; whether material facts may be disputed or unsubstantiated; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the matter involves class allegations. As a result of these complexities, Regions may be unable to develop an estimate or range of loss.
Regions evaluates legal proceedings based on information currently available, including advice of counsel. Regions establishes accruals for those matters when a loss is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. Additionally, when it is practicable and reasonably possible that it may experience losses in excess of established accruals, Regions estimates possible loss contingencies. Regions currently estimates that the aggregate amount of reasonably possible losses that it may experience, in excess of what has been accrued, is immaterial. While the final outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, management is currently of the opinion that the outcomes of pending and threatened matters will not have a material effect on Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole.
As available information changes, the matters for which Regions is able to estimate, as well as the estimates themselves, will be adjusted accordingly. Regions’ estimates are subject to significant judgment and uncertainties, and the matters underlying the estimates will change from time to time. In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that an adverse outcome in any such matter could be material to Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a whole for any particular reporting period of occurrence.
Some of Regions’ exposure with respect to loss contingencies may be offset by applicable insurance coverage. However, in determining the amounts of any accruals or estimates of possible loss contingencies, Regions does not take into account the availability of insurance coverage. To the extent that Regions has an insurance recovery, the proceeds are recorded in the period the recovery is received.
GUARANTEES
FANNIE MAE LOSS SHARE GUARANTEE
Regions sells commercial loans to Fannie Mae through the DUS lending program and through other platforms. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. Regions services loans sold to Fannie Mae and is required to provide a loss share guarantee equal to one-third of the principal balance for the majority of the commercial servicing portfolio. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's DUS servicing portfolio totaled approximately $7.4 billion and $7.0 billion, respectively. Regions has additional loans sold to Fannie Mae outside of the DUS program that are also subject to a loss share guarantee and at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, these serviced loans totaled approximately $721 million and $665 million, respectively. Regions' maximum quantifiable contingent liability related to all loans subject to a loss share guarantee was approximately $2.6 billion and $2.4 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. Therefore, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would be expected to incur. The estimated fair value of the associated loss share guarantee recorded as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets was immaterial at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information.
The following table provides a brief description of accounting standards adopted in 2025 and those that could have a material impact to Regions’ consolidated financial statements upon adoption in the future.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis is part of Regions Financial Corporation’s (“Regions” or the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear in Part I, Item 1 of this report. In addition, this discussion and analysis updates Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was previously filed with the SEC. This financial information is presented to aid in understanding Regions’ financial position and results of operations and should be read together with the financial information contained in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" and Note 13 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to those consolidated financial statements for further detail. The emphasis of this discussion will be on the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 for the consolidated statements of income. For the consolidated balance sheets, the emphasis of this discussion will be on the balances as of June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.
This discussion and analysis contains statements that may be considered “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See pages 6 through 8 for additional information regarding forward-looking statements.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Regions is a financial holding company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama operating in the South, Midwest and Texas. In addition, Regions operates several offices delivering specialty capabilities in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Salt Lake City, and other locations nationwide. Regions provides financial solutions for a wide range of clients including retail and mortgage banking services, commercial banking services and wealth and investment services. Further, Regions and its subsidiaries deliver other specialty capabilities including merger and acquisition advisory services, capital markets solutions, home improvement lending, investment advisory services, equipment financing for commercial clients and small business customers, low income housing tax credit corporate fund syndication and asset management, financing to CRA-qualified customers, investment and insurance products, broker-dealer services to commercial clients, and others.
Regions conducts its banking operations through Regions Bank, an Alabama state-chartered commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. At June 30, 2025, Regions operated 1,250 total branch outlets. Regions carries out its strategies and derives its profitability from three reportable business segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder in Other. See Note 11 "Business Segment Information" to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding Regions’ segment reporting structure.
Regions’ business strategy is focused on providing a competitive mix of products and services, delivering quality customer service, and continuing to develop and optimize distribution channels that include a branch distribution network with offices in convenient locations, as well as electronic and mobile banking.
Regions’ profitability, like that of many other financial institutions, is dependent on its ability to generate revenue from net interest income as well as non-interest income sources. Net interest income is primarily the difference between the interest income Regions receives on interest-earning assets, such as loans, leases, investment securities and cash balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank, and the interest expense Regions pays on interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Regions’ net interest income is impacted by the size and mix of its balance sheet components and the interest rate spread between interest earned on its assets and interest paid on its liabilities. Non-interest income includes fees from service charges on deposit accounts, card and ATM fees, mortgage servicing and secondary marketing, investment management and trust activities, capital markets and other customer services which Regions provides. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, equipment and software expenses, occupancy, professional, legal and regulatory expenses, FDIC insurance assessments, and other operating expenses, as well as income taxes.
Economic conditions, competition, new legislation and related rules impacting regulation of the financial services industry and the monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal government significantly affect most, if not all, financial institutions, including Regions. Lending and deposit activities and fee income generation are influenced by levels of business spending and investment, consumer income, consumer spending and savings, capital market activities, and competition among financial institutions, as well as customer preferences, interest rate conditions, inflation and prevailing market rates on competing products in Regions’ market areas.
SECOND QUARTER OVERVIEW
Economic Environment in Regions' Banking Markets
Regions utilized its internal June baseline forecast to calculate the ACL as of June 30, 2025. Refer to the Baseline economic forecast discussion in the "Allowance" section for further detail.
Regions reported net income available to common shareholders of $534 million or $0.59 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025 compared to net income available to common shareholders of $477 million or $0.52 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024.
Net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) totaled $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2025, which increased $73 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. The net interest margin (taxable-equivalent basis) was 3.65 percent in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting a 14 basis point increase from the same period in 2024. The increase in net interest income and margin was driven by the replacement of fixed-rate loans and debt securities in a higher interest rate environment and lower funding costs as short-term interest rates declined. Refer to the related discussion below Table 16 "Consolidated Average Daily Balances and Yield/Rate Analysis" for further detail.
The provision for credit losses totaled $126 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $102 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net charge-offs totaled $113 million, or 0.47 percent of average loans, in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $101 million , or 0.42 percent in the second quarter of 2024. This slight increase reflected charge-offs in previously identified portfolios of interest. The allowance as a percent of total loans, net, increased slightly to 1.80 percent at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.79 percent at December 31, 2024. Refer to the "Allowance for Credit Losses" section for further detail.
Non-interest income was $646 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $545 million in the second quarter of 2024. Most categories of non-interest income increased, primarily driven by an increase in capital markets income, mortgage income, and favorable market valuation adjustments on employee benefit assets. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company incurred securities losses due to a repositioning. See Table 21 "Non-Interest Income" for further details.
Non-interest expense was $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2025 which increased $69 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a increase in salaries and benefits and other miscellaneous expenses. See Table 22 "Non-Interest Expense" for further details.
Regions' effective tax rate was 20.3 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 19.8 percent in the second quarter of 2024. See the "Income Taxes" section for further details.
Capital
Regions and Regions Bank are required to comply with regulatory capital requirements established by Federal and State banking agencies, which include quantitative requirements including the CET1 ratio. At June 30, 2025, Regions’ CET1 ratio was estimated to be 10.8 percent. For additional information on Regions' regulatory capital requirements see the "Regulatory Requirements" section.
Regions participates in supervisory stress testing conducted by the Federal Reserve and its SCB is currently floored at 2.5 percent. See Note 6 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
The Board has authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of the Company's common stock through the fourth quarter of 2025. See Note 6 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" for more information.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
The following sections provide expanded discussion of significant changes in certain line items in asset, liability, and shareholders' equity categories.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $463 million from year-end 2024 to June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in deposits, partially offset by securities purchases, a decline in borrowings and the redemption of Series D preferred stock. See the "Deposits", "Debt Securities", "Liquidity", and "Borrowings" sections for more information.
The following table details the carrying values of debt securities, including both held to maturity and available for sale:

Debt securities, which comprise approximately 23 percent of earning assets, are an important tool used to manage interest rate sensitivity and provide a primary source of liquidity for the Company, as much of the portfolio is highly liquid. Additionally, some of the debt securities portfolio is eligible to be used as collateral for funding of various types of borrowings. See the "Liquidity" section for more information on these arrangements. Also see the "Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk" section for more information. See also Note 3 "Debt Securities" for additional information.
Debt securities held to maturity constituted approximately 18 percent of the debt securities portfolio at June 30, 2025. The Company reclassified debt securities with an amortized cost, excluding items recognized in OCI, of $2.0 billion in the first half of 2025, from available for sale into held to maturity to reduce the volatility in AOCI in preparation for expected, upcoming changes to regulatory guidance as discussed in the "Regulatory Requirements" section.
Debt securities available for sale constituted approximately 82 percent of the debt securities portfolio at June 30, 2025. Regions maintains a highly-rated debt securities portfolio consisting primarily of agency MBS. Regions’ investment policy emphasizes credit quality and liquidity.
Debt securities increased $1.7 billion from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 due to the purchase of approximately $1.0 billion of residential agency MBS debt securities in the second quarter of 2025, lower market interest rates and tighter spreads resulting in lower unrealized holding losses, and AOCI amortization. Of note, the Company executed a debt securities repositioning in the first quarter of 2025 involving the sale of shorter-duration commercial and residential agency MBS and replacement with residential agency MBS with favorable prepayment profiles. The intent was to maintain the debt securities portfolio duration that would otherwise shorten naturally while efficiently deploying capital. Proceeds from the sales were reinvested at higher market yields. The Company sold approximately $478 million of debt securities available for sale and realized approximately $25 million in pre-tax losses.
The average life of the debt securities portfolio at June 30, 2025 was estimated to be 6.0 years, with a duration of approximately 4.1 years, inclusive of fair value hedges (see Table 18). These metrics compare with an estimated average life of 6.1 years and a duration of approximately 4.5 years for the portfolio at December 31, 2024.

Levels of commercial loans held for sale fluctuate based on timing of sale to third parties. The levels of residential first mortgage loans held for sale that are part of the Company's mortgage originations fluctuate depending on the timing of origination and sale to third parties.
Loans, net of unearned income, represented 69 percent of interest-earning assets as of June 30, 2025. The following table presents the distribution of Regions' loan portfolio by segment and class, net of unearned income:

(1) Starting in 2025, other consumer loans also includes exit portfolios, which were previously presented separately. The portfolio consists primarily of indirect auto loans, and presentation of prior periods has been conformed accordingly.
PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
Loans, net of unearned income, remained flat from year-end 2024 due to a decline in commercial loans as a result of low utilization rates and declines across most consumer loans, partially offset by an increase in investor real estate loans. Regions manages loan growth with a focus on risk management and risk-adjusted return on capital.
The following sections describe the composition of the portfolio segments and classes disclosed in Table 3, explain changes in balances from year-end 2024 and highlight the related risk characteristics. Regions believes that its loan portfolio is well diversified by product, client, and geography throughout its footprint. However, the loan portfolio may be exposed to certain concentrations of credit risk which exist in relation to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, certain types of collateral, certain types of industries, and certain loan products. See Note 4 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.
Commercial
Over half of the Company’s total loans are included in the commercial portfolio segment. These balances are spread across numerous industries, as noted in Table 4. The Company manages the related risks to this portfolio by setting certain lending limits for each significant industry.
The commercial portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans for use in customers' normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases, expansion projects and acquisitions. Regions' commercial and industrial loans generally mature within a five-year period with applicable amortization based on the underlying collateral or financing purpose. Typical loan structures consist of revolving and non-revolving lines of credit, amortizing term loans, guidance facilities, and single-pay loans, further tailored to meet the specific needs of the customer. These loans frequently have a covenant package combination inclusive of applicable debt service coverage, leverage, and liquidity measurements.
Underwriting of commercial and industrial loans includes the assessment of the financial performance and profile, management experience and capability, industry position and outlook, the applicability of the transactional structure, as well as the repayment enhancement provided by collateral, guarantees, and ownership or sponsorship. Any forward view of operating performance is tested against applicable stressors that may include revenue decline, margin compression, and interest rate hikes.
Commercial and industrial loans decreased $85 million since year-end 2024 due primarily to credit utilization rates remaining below historic levels. In the first six months of 2025, the decline in commercial and industrial loans was broad-based as shown in Table 4.
The commercial portfolio also includes owner-occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans to operating businesses, which are loans for long-term financing on real estate assets, and are repaid by cash generated by business operations. Owner-occupied commercial real estate construction loans are made to commercial businesses for the development of land or
construction of a building where the repayment is derived from revenues generated from the business of the borrower. These owner-occupied real estate and real estate construction loans generally mature within a 10 year period and with amortization periods reflecting the longer life of the underlying collateral. Typical structure is an amortizing term loan, though construction loans are short-term, monitored, non-revolving draw facilities. These loans frequently have a covenant package combination consistent with the underwriting of commercial loans, inclusive of applicable debt service coverage, leverage, and liquidity measurements.
Underwriting for owner-occupied real estate and real estate construction loans is consistent with the underwriting of commercial loans, with particular attention to the enhancement provided by the underlying real estate collateral.
Real estate appraisals, for both commercial and IRE loans, are performed in accordance with regulatory guidelines. In some cases, reports from automated valuation services are used or internal evaluations are performed. An appraisal is ordered and reviewed prior to loan closing, and a new appraisal or evaluation is generally ordered when market conditions indicate a potential decline in the value of the collateral, or when the loan is either modified, renewed, or deteriorates to a certain level of credit weaknesses.
Investor Real Estate
Loans for real estate development are repaid through cash flows related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. This portfolio segment includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. A portion of Regions’ IRE portfolio segment consists of loans secured by residential product types (land, single-family and condominium loans) within Regions’ markets. Additionally, this category includes loans made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers. Total IRE loans increased $388 million in comparison to year-end 2024 balances due to increases in fundings to previously approved projects and new term loans for apartments and data centers.
IRE loans generally mature within a three-to-seven-year period and consist of full, partial, and non-recourse guarantee structures. Typical term loan structures include annually testing operating covenants that require loan rebalancing based on minimum debt service coverage, debt yield, and/or LTV tests. Construction and land development loans generally mature in 12 to 24 months for acquisition and development, to 42 to 60 months for construction and contain full or partial recourse guarantee structures with 12 to 24 month extension options or roll-to-permanent financing options that often result in term loans.
Underwriting on IRE properties is based on the economic viability of the project with significant consideration given to the creditworthiness and experience of the sponsor, who is responsible for managing the property. The Company generally requires that the owner, who provides the capital to purchase the property, infuse their equity prior to any advances. Re-margining requirements (e.g., required equity infusions upon a decline in value or cash flow of the collateral) are often included in the loan agreement along with required guarantees of the sponsor.

(1)"Real estate" includes REITs, which are unsecured commercial and industrial products that are real estate related. This portfolio is well diversified, generally has low leverage with strong access to liquidity, and the REITs included in this portfolio are primarily investment or near investment grade.
(2)"Other" contains balances related to non-classifiable and invalid business industry codes offset by payments in process and fee accounts that are not available at the loan level.
(3)As customers' businesses evolve (e.g. up or down the vertical manufacturing chain), Regions may need to change the assigned business industry code used to define the customer relationship. When these changes occur, Regions does not recast the customer history for prior periods into the new classification because the business industry code used in the prior period was deemed appropriate. As a result, year over year changes may be impacted.
The Company's total non-owner-occupied commercial real estate lending consists of both unsecured commercial and industrial loans that are real estate related (including REITs) and investor real estate loans and are considered to be well diversified across property types. The following tables provide detail of these loans:

(1)Amounts calculated based on whole dollar values.
(2)Owner-occupied commercial real estate is not included as the principal source of repayment is individual businesses, which more closely aligns with the commercial portfolio credit performance.
Portfolios that are experiencing higher risk due to conditions such as inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, and adverse underlying market fundamentals (identified as portfolios of interest) include business offices and trucking (included within transportation and warehousing) at June 30, 2025 within Table 4 above. Recent and potential future interest rate cuts should ease pressure on borrowers across the entire loan portfolio.
The business offices portfolio remains a portfolio of interest due to rising vacancies and reductions in net effective rents. The office portfolio totaled $1.3 billion and represented 1.4 percent of total loans at June 30, 2025. The office portfolio included non-performing loans of $213 million and had associated charge-offs of $20 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Approximately 90 percent of the office portfolio was secured, with approximately 59 percent of secured balances located in the South region of the U.S, of which 86 percent were Class A properties. Over 50 percent of the office portfolio will mature in the next 12 months. Additionally, the IRE office portfolio had a weighted-average LTV of approximately 70 percent at June 30, 2025, based upon appraisal at origination or most recent received, and a stressed weighted-average LTV of approximately 86 percent as of July 7, 2025, based upon GreenStreet's Commercial Property Price Index. No new loan originations are being contemplated in this portfolio.
The trucking portfolio, included within transportation and warehousing, remains a portfolio of interest as trucking companies have been working through one of the most prolonged downturns in the U.S. domestic freight market. The industry has experienced marginal improvement in 2025; however, recent tariff policies have lead to inconsistent volumes which combined with rising operating costs make profitability more challenging. The trucking portfolio totaled $1.4 billion and represented 1.5 percent of total loans at June 30, 2025. The trucking portfolio included non-performing loans of $114 million and had associated charge-offs of $42 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Residential First Mortgage
Residential first mortgage loans represent loans to consumers to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed over a 15 to 30 year term and, in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence. Total residential first mortgage loans decreased $74 million in comparison to year-end 2024 balances.
Home Equity Lines
Home equity lines are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence and allow customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions' branch network.
Beginning in December 2016, new home equity lines of credit have a 10-year draw period and a 20-year repayment term. During the 10-year draw period customers do not have an interest-only payment option, except on a very limited basis. From May 2009 to December 2016, home equity lines of credit had a 10-year draw period and a 10-year repayment term. Prior to May 2009, the predominant structure was a 20-year draw period with a balloon payment upon maturity. The term “balloon payment” means there are no principal payments required until the balloon payment is due for interest-only lines of credit.
The following table presents information regarding the future principal payment reset dates for the Company's home equity lines of credit as of June 30, 2025. The balances presented are based on maturity date for lines with a balloon payment and draw period expiration date for lines that convert to a repayment period.

Home Equity Loans
Home equity loans are also secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence, are primarily originated as amortizing loans, and allow customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions’ branch network.
Consumer Credit Quality Data
The Company calculates an estimate of the current value of property secured as collateral for both residential first mortgage and home equity lending products (“current LTV”). The estimate is based on home price indices compiled by a third party that is updated typically every three months. The third party data indicates trends for MSAs. Regions uses the third party valuation trends from the MSAs in the Company's footprint in its estimate. The trend data is applied to the loan portfolios taking into account the age of the most recent valuation and geographic area.
The following table presents current LTV data for components of the residential first mortgage, home equity lines and home equity loans classes of the consumer portfolio segment. Current LTV data for some loans in the portfolio is not available due to mergers and systems integrations. The amounts in the table represent the entire loan balance. For purposes of the table below, if the loan balance exceeds the current estimated collateral the entire balance is included in the “Above 100%” category, regardless of the amount of collateral available to partially offset the shortfall.
Other consumer loans primarily include indirect and direct consumer loans, overdrafts and other revolving loans. Other consumer loans decreased $190 million from year-end 2024 driven by a decline in consumer home improvement lending production.
Regions considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, accrual status, days past due status, unemployment rates, home prices, and geography as credit quality indicators for the consumer loan portfolio. FICO scores are obtained at origination and refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for most consumer loans. For more information on credit quality indicators refer to Note 4 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses".
ALLOWANCE
The allowance represents management's best estimate of expected losses over the life of the loan and credit commitment portfolios and consists of two components: the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments. Unfunded credit commitments includes items such as letters of credit, financial guarantees and binding unfunded loan commitments. The allowance totaled $1.7 billion at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Regions' quarterly allowance estimation process utilizes loss forecasting models for pooled loans, specific reserves for significant individually evaluated non-performing loans, and qualitative adjustments for items not captured by the models including specific adjustments and general imprecision. Key inputs to Regions' loss forecasting models include, but are not limited to, loan risk ratings (commercial and investor real estate loans), maturity date, days past due and FICO scores (consumer loans), collateral values securing loans, and Regions' internally prepared baseline economic forecast. Changes in any of these factors, assumptions, or the availability of new information, could require the allowance to be adjusted in future periods, perhaps materially. Outputs from the loss forecasting models, in combination with Regions' qualitative framework and other analyses, inform management in its estimation of Regions' expected credit losses to ensure the overall allowance estimate is appropriate from both a bottom-up and top-down perspective. Actual losses could vary, perhaps materially, from management’s estimates. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for more information.
Baseline economic forecast
In deriving any forecast, Regions benchmarks its internal forecast with external forecasts and external data available. Regions' June 2025 baseline forecast reflected deterioration across most key variables as compared to the March baseline forecast, which resulted in an increase in the allowance. Management noted that there is still uncertainty around the scope and timing of changes to trade policy and the effects of immigration policy to the labor market may pose some downside risks to growth. However, recently enacted fiscal policy changes are expected to be supportive of business investment spending, and an anticipated more favorable regulatory climate should also be supportive of growth.
The June 2025 baseline forecast anticipates real GDP growth of 1.5 percent in 2025 and 2026. While the quarterly growth profile is expected to remain somewhat uneven over the next few quarters, it is anticipated that the economy will be back at its longer-term trend growth rate by year-end 2026.
As job and wage growth are slowing, spending growth is becoming realigned with income growth. In the early months of 2025, businesses and households reacted strongly to anticipated increases in tariffs, which sets up payback over the coming months and quarters. The baseline forecast anticipates the unemployment rate averaging 4.3 percent for 2025 and 2026, and reflects further deceleration in the trend of job rate growth due to a falling rate of hiring as opposed to a rising rate of layoffs.
Through the first half of the year there has been mixed evidence of tariff pass-throughs on goods prices. While it is anticipated that pass-through effects will become more impactful and more broadly based over coming months, it is also anticipated that moderating services price inflation will act as a counter. This would limit the net effects on overall inflation.
While the FOMC is taking a cautious approach and is still more focused on the upside risks to inflation, we cannot rule out a resumption of Federal Funds rate hikes by year-end 2025.
The risks to the baseline forecast are considered to be weighted to the downside. Current economic uncertainty, including the impact of developments on trade policy, likely will influence future levels of the allowance.
Table 8 below reflects a range of macroeconomic factors utilized in the baseline economic forecast over the two-year R&S forecast period as of June 30, 2025. The unemployment rate is the most significant macroeconomic factor among the allowance models and as of the June 2025 baseline forecast was expected to remain relatively consistent over the forecast period.

Portfolio, credit metrics, and specific reserves
The loan portfolio composition is evaluated each quarter and changes to the composition can influence modeled allowance results.
Credit metrics are monitored throughout each quarter and are a key consideration in the allowance process. In the second quarter of 2025, overall asset quality improved. Commercial and investor real estate criticized balances decreased approximately $310 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. Non-performing loans, excluding held for sale, decreased approximately $67 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in non-performing loans was primarily due to charge-offs and payoffs in previously identified portfolios of interest which led to a decline in specific reserves. See Table 11 for more details regarding non-performing assets. While overall credit quality improved in the quarter, the portfolio experienced some risk rating migration, mostly within pass ratings. These increases were offset by other portfolio changes.
In the second quarter of 2025, the loan portfolio balance grew, which, combined with the results from credit/specific reserve changes and other portfolio changes, resulted in a net increase to the allowance.
Qualitative adjustments
While it is the intent of Regions' quantitative allowance methodologies to reflect all risk factors, including incremental risk in portfolios identified as under stress, any estimate involves assumptions and uncertainties resulting in some level of imprecision. Regions' qualitative framework has a general imprecision component which is meant to acknowledge that model and forecast errors are inherent in any modeling estimate. In the second quarter of 2025, the general imprecision component decreased due to less downside risk to the economic forecast.
The qualitative framework also has specific adjustment components which are reserves meant to capture specific issues or events that management believes are not adequately captured in the model outcomes. Qualitative adjustments for the second quarter of 2025 were reduced from the first quarter of 2025 levels due to reduced risk in certain portfolios of interest and more of the remaining risk being captured in the loss forecasting models and specific reserve estimates, as well as additional portfolio stability.
The combined results from general imprecision and specific qualitative adjustments was a net decrease to the allowance.
Overall allowance
Based upon the factors discussed above, the June 30, 2025 allowance remained stable compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to portfolio changes and slight deterioration in the economic forecast, offset by declines in qualitative adjustments.
Details regarding the allowance and net charge-offs, including an analysis of activity from previous year's totals, are included below:
Net charge-offs increased $14 million year-over-year. As noted, economic trends such as interest rates, unemployment, volatility in commodity prices, collateral valuations and inflationary pressure will impact the future levels of net charge-offs and may result in volatility of certain credit metrics in 2025 and beyond.
Allocation of the allowance by portfolio segment and class is summarized as follows:

(1)Excludes accruing loans 90+ days past due.
(2)Excludes residential first mortgage loans that are 100% guaranteed by the FHA and all guaranteed loans sold to Ginnie Mae where Regions has the right but not the obligation to repurchase. Total 90+ days or more past due guaranteed loans excluded were $44 million at June 30, 2025 and $55 million at December 31, 2024.
Non-performing loans at June 30, 2025 decreased $136 million as compared to year-end 2024 levels primarily due to reductions in the industries or property types of information, healthcare, apartments and office, partially offset by an increase in energy. The same economic trends that impact net charge-offs, as discussed above, will impact the future level of non-performing loans. Circumstances related to individually large credits could also result in volatility.
The following tables provide an analysis of non-accrual loans (excluding loans held for sale) by portfolio segment:

GOODWILL
Goodwill totaled $5.7 billion at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 9 "Intangible Assets" to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the methodologies and assumptions used in the goodwill impairment analysis.
DEPOSITS
Regions competes with other banking and financial services companies for a share of the deposit market. Regions’ ability to compete in the deposit market depends heavily on the pricing of its deposits and how effectively the Company meets customers’ needs. Regions employs various means to meet those needs and enhance competitiveness, such as providing a high level of customer service, competitive pricing and convenient branch locations for its customers. Regions also serves customers through providing centralized, high-quality banking services through the Company's digital channels and contact center.
Deposits are Regions’ primary source of funds, providing funding for over 90 percent of average earning assets at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The following table summarizes deposits by category and by segment:

(1) Other deposits represent non-customer balances primarily consisting of wholesale funding (for example, selected deposits and brokered time deposits). Other deposits include brokered deposits totaling $2.8 billion at June 30, 2025 and $2.2 at December 31, 2024.
Total deposits at June 30, 2025 increased approximately $3.3 billion across most segments and categories compared to year-end 2024 levels. The increase in deposits reflects customer growth and preference for liquidity as there remains some uncertainty in the economic environment. The mix of non-interest-bearing deposits remained stable at approximately 31 percent of total deposits at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Regions' deposits are granular and diversified including insured and collateralized deposits, with consumer deposits making up more than 60 percent of the total deposit base at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
See the "Liquidity" and "Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk" sections for further discussion on liquidity and interest rates.
BORROWED FUNDS
Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings, which primarily consist of FHLB advances, were zero at June 30, 2025 and $500 million at December 31, 2024. The levels of these borrowings can fluctuate depending on the Company's funding needs and the sources utilized.
Short-term secured borrowings, such as securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances, are a portion of Regions' funding strategy. See the "Liquidity" section for further detail of Regions' borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

(2) On September 6, 2034, the Notes will bear floating rate interest equal to Compounded SOFR plus 2.06%.
Long-term borrowings decreased by approximately $714 million from year-end 2024 primarily due to the maturity of the Company's 2.25% senior notes in the second quarter of 2025.
Funding from the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank is secured by pledged assets, primarily certain loan portfolios which are also subject to blanket lien arrangements with the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank. As of June 30, 2025, Regions' blanket lien arrangements with these entities covered a total loan balance of approximately $93.8 billion and included loans from various loan portfolios. However, borrowing capacity with the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank is contingent on a subset of the blanket lien portfolios which are eligible and pledged according to the parameters for each counterparty.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
CAPITAL RULES
Regions and Regions Bank are required to comply with regulatory capital requirements established by Federal and State banking agencies. These regulatory capital requirements involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and selected off-balance sheet items, and also qualitative judgments by the regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can subject the Company to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions. Under the Basel III Rules, Regions is designated as a standardized approach bank. Regions is a "Category IV" institution under the Federal Reserve's Tailoring Rules.
Federal banking agencies allowed a phase-in of the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. At December 31, 2021, the add-back to regulatory capital was calculated as the impact of initial adoption, adjusted for 25 percent of subsequent changes in the allowance. The amount was phased-in over a three-year period beginning in 2022 and concluded in the first quarter of 2025. At December 31, 2024, the net impact of the add-back on CET1 was approximately $102 million or approximately 8 basis points.
Regions participates in supervisory stress testing conducted by the Federal Reserve and its SCB is currently floored at 2.5 percent. See Note 6 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" to the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding CCAR results.
The following table summarizes the applicable holding company and bank regulatory requirements:

(1) The current quarter Basel III CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital, Total capital, and Leverage capital ratios are estimated.
(2) Reflects Regions' SCB of 2.5 percent. SCB does not apply to leverage capital ratios.
In the third quarter of 2023, proposals were issued by the U.S federal banking regulators that, if adopted, would impact the Company related to long-term debt requirements and U.S. implementation of capital requirements under Basel IV rules, more recently referred to as the Basel III "Endgame". The Company is studying the proposals and evaluating their impacts. Additional discussion of the Basel III Rules, their applicability to Regions, recent proposals and final rules issued by the federal banking agencies and recent laws enacted that impact regulatory requirements is included in the "Supervision and Regulation" subsection of the "Business" section in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
LIQUIDITY
Regions maintains a robust liquidity management framework designed to effectively manage liquidity risk in accordance with sound risk management principals and regulatory expectations. The framework establishes sustainable processes and tools to effectively identify, measure, mitigate, monitor, and report liquidity risks beginning with Regions’ Liquidity Management Policy and the Liquidity Risk Appetite Statements approved by the Board. Processes within the liquidity management framework include, but are not limited to, liquidity risk governance, cash management, liquidity stress testing, liquidity risk
limits, contingency funding plans, and collateral management. While the framework is designed to comply with liquidity regulations, the processes are further tailored to be commensurate with Regions’ operating model and risk profile.
See the "Liquidity" section for more information. Also, see the “Supervision and Regulation—Liquidity Requirements” subsection of the “Business” section and the "Risk Factors" section in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
SHAREHOLDERS' AND TOTAL EQUITY
Shareholders’ equity was $18.7 billion at June 30, 2025 as compared to $17.9 billion at December 31, 2024. During the first six months of 2025, net income increased shareholders' equity by $1.1 billion, cash dividends on common stock reduced shareholders' equity by $450 million, and cash dividends on preferred stock reduced shareholders' equity by $50 million. Changes in OCI increased shareholders' equity by $952 million, primarily due to available for sale securities and derivative instruments as a result of changes in market interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of its Series D preferred stock, which decreased shareholders' equity by $350 million. Common stock repurchased during the first six months of 2025 decreased shareholders' equity by $386 million. These shares were immediately retired upon repurchase and therefore were not included in treasury stock.
Total equity included noncontrolling interest of $40 million and $31 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The noncontrolling interest represents the unowned portion of a low income housing tax credit fund syndication, of which Regions held the majority interest at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company purchased 1.4 million shares for approximately $37 million through August 4, 2025. These shares were immediately retired upon repurchase and therefore were not included in treasury stock.
See Note 6 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" section for additional information.

(1)Amounts have been calculated using whole dollar values and the prevailing interest accrual methodology.
(2)Debt securities are included on an amortized cost basis with yield and net interest margin calculated accordingly.
(3)Interest income on debt securities includes hedging income of $8 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(4)Loans, net of unearned income include non-accrual loans for all periods presented.
(5)Interest income on loans, net of unearned income, includes hedging expense of $127 million and $233 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest income on loans, net of unearned income, also includes net loan fees of $61 million and $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively.
(6)Total deposit costs may be calculated by dividing total interest expense on deposits by the sum of interest-bearing deposits and non-interest-bearing deposits. The rates for total deposit costs equaled 1.39% and 1.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(7)The computation of taxable-equivalent net interest income is based on the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for applicable state income taxes net of the related federal tax benefit.
Net interest income is Regions’ principal source of income and is one of the most important elements of Regions’ ability to meet its overall performance goals. Both net interest income and net interest margin are influenced by both long-term and short-term market interest rates.
Net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) and net interest margin increased in the both the second quarter and first six months of 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due primarily to the replacement of fixed-rate loans and debt securities in a high interest rate environment and managing deposit and funding costs lower while growing deposit balances. Net interest income and margin also benefited from securities repositioning activities in late 2024 and first quarter 2025. Net interest margin continued to be negatively impacted by a higher cash balance at the Federal Reserve (see the "Cash and Cash Equivalents" section for related discussion).
Regions’ primary market risk is interest rate risk. This includes uncertainty with respect to absolute interest rate levels as well as relative interest rate levels, which are impacted by both the shape and the slope of the various yield curves that affect the financial products and services that the Company offers. As its primary tool to analyze this risk, Regions measures the change in its net interest income in various interest rate scenarios compared to a base case scenario. Net interest income sensitivity to market rate movements is a useful short-term indicator of Regions’ interest rate risk.
In addition to net interest income simulations, Regions also utilizes an EVE analysis as a measurement tool to estimate risk exposure over a longer-term horizon. EVE measures the extent to which the economic value of assets, liabilities and derivative instruments may change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. Importantly, EVE values only the current balance sheet, excluding the growth assumptions used in net interest income sensitivity analyses. Additionally, the results are highly dependent on assumptions for products with embedded prepay optionality and indeterminate maturities. The uncertainty surrounding important assumptions used in EVE analysis may limit its efficacy.
Sensitivity Measurement—Financial simulation models are Regions’ primary tools used to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of sophisticated simulation techniques provides management with extensive information on the potential impact to net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. Models are structured to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of Regions’ balance sheet. Assumptions are made about the direction and magnitude of interest rate movements, the slope of the yield curve, and the changing composition of the balance sheet that results from both strategic plans and customer behavior. Among the assumptions are expectations of balance sheet growth and composition, the pricing and maturity characteristics of existing business and the characteristics of future business. Interest rate-related risks are expressly considered, such as pricing spreads, the pricing of deposit accounts, prepayments and other option risks. Regions considers these factors, as well as the degree of certainty or uncertainty surrounding their future behavior.
The primary objective of asset/liability management at Regions is to coordinate balance sheet composition with interest rate risk management to sustain reasonable and stable net interest income throughout various interest rate cycles. In computing interest rate sensitivity, Regions compares a set of alternative interest rate scenarios to the results of a base case scenario derived using “market forward rates.” The set of alternative interest rate scenarios includes instantaneous parallel rate shifts of various magnitudes. In addition to parallel rate shifts, multiple curve steepening and flattening scenarios are contemplated. Regions includes simulations of gradual interest rate movements phased in over a six-month period that may more realistically mimic the speed of potential interest rate changes.
Exposure to Interest Rate Movements—Regions' balance sheet is naturally asset sensitive, with net interest income increasing with higher interest rates, and decreasing with lower interest rates. This is the result of approximately half of the loan portfolio floating contractually with market rate indices, and funding from a large, mostly stable retail deposit portfolio. Importantly, the stability and rate sensitivity of Regions' deposit portfolio has been proven over multiple interest rate cycles. With this natural balance sheet profile, the ability to utilize discretionary asset duration strategies within the investment portfolio and through derivative hedges is critical in mitigating the Bank’s naturally asset sensitive position.
As of June 30, 2025, Regions evidenced a mostly balanced, or "neutral" asset/liability position, with asset duration of approximately 2.5 years and liability duration of approximately 2.6 years, using historically-informed approximations. While the derivative hedging portfolio and debt securities portfolio have been recorded on the balance sheet at an unrealized loss, deposit value increases more than offset this loss during a rising rate cycle. The additional value of deposits in a higher rate environment is realized in the form of lower-cost funding when compared with wholesale sources. While a balance sheet analysis, particularly EVE analysis, does contemplate the economic value of deposits, the estimated fair value of deposits is equal to their carrying value for certain financial statement footnote disclosures, consistent with industry practices. See Note 10 "Fair Value Measurements" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Recently, pay-fixed fair value hedges and debt securities transfers from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity classification have been used to reduce AOCI volatility associated with unrealized securities gains and losses. Inclusive of these activities, the total debt securities portfolio duration is 4.1 years, the available for sale securities portfolio duration is 3.7 years, and the held to maturity securities portfolio duration is 5.9 years. As pay-fixed fair value hedges are further utilized to manage AOCI volatility, receive-fixed cash flow hedges may be entered into as an offset to preserve the interest rate sensitivity of Regions' entire balance sheet.
As of June 30, 2025, Regions' net interest income profile was mostly neutral to both gradual and instantaneous parallel yield curve shifts as compared to the base case for the 12-month measurement horizon ending June 2026. The estimated exposure associated with the rising and falling rate scenarios in Table 17 below reflects the combined impacts of movements in short-term and long-term interest rates. An increase or reduction in short-term interest rates (such as the Federal Funds rate, the interest rate on reserve balances, and SOFR) will drive the yield on assets and liabilities contractually tied to such rates higher or lower. In either scenario, it is expected that changes in funding costs and balance sheet hedging income will offset the change in asset yields, resulting in little change to net interest income.
Net interest income remains exposed to intermediate and long-term yield curve tenors. In the current higher interest rate environment, the exposure to fixed-rate asset turnover represents a tailwind to net interest income growth. Elevated, or increasing intermediate and long-term interest rates (such as intermediate to longer-term U.S. Treasuries, swaps and mortgage rates) will drive yields higher on certain fixed-rate, newly originated or renewed loans, and increase prospective yields on certain investment portfolio purchases. The opposite is true in an environment where intermediate and long-term interest rates fall. Additionally, shifts in the long end of the yield curve will impact securities prepayments and alter the amount of discount accretion and premium amortization in any given period.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented below in Table 17 is informed by a variety of assumptions and estimates regarding the progression of the balance sheet in both the baseline scenario as well as the scenarios of instantaneous and gradual shifts in the yield curve. Though there are many assumptions which affect the estimates for net interest income, those pertaining to deposit pricing, deposit mix and overall balance sheet composition are particularly impactful. Given the uncertainties associated with monetary policy on industry liquidity levels and the cost of that liquidity, management evaluates the impacts from these key assumptions through sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity calculations are hypothetical and should not be considered predictive of future results.
The Company’s baseline balance sheet assumptions include management's best estimate for balance sheet changes in the coming 12 months. Deposit balances are projected to be up modestly in 2025. A reduction in deposit balances of $1 billion when compared to the base case estimate would reduce net interest income by $19 million over 12 months in the parallel, instantaneous +100 basis point scenario in Table 17. Conversely, if an additional $1 billion are added, a positive benefit of $19 million would be expected over 12 months in the parallel, instantaneous +100 basis point scenario in Table 17.
In rising rate scenarios only, management assumes that the mix of deposits will change versus the base case as informed by analyses of prior rate cycles. Currently, however, much of the anticipated mix shift has already occurred or is expected to occur within the baseline scenario, mitigating the amount of additional remixing in higher rate scenarios. The magnitude of the remixing shift is rate dependent and equates to an approximate $1.2 billion shift from non-interest bearing deposits into time deposits over 12 months in the parallel, instantaneous +100 basis point scenario in Table 17. Furthermore, over the 12 month horizon, an increase of $1 billion in deposit remixing would decrease net interest income by approximately $22 million, and a decrease of $1 billion in deposit remixing would increase net interest income by $22 million in the parallel, instantaneous +100 basis point scenario.
The interest-bearing deposit beta is calibrated using the experience from prior rate cycles and is dynamic across both interest rate level and time. The parallel, instantaneous +100 basis point and -100 basis point shock scenarios in Table 17 both incorporate an incremental beta between 35 and 40 percent when compared to the base case scenario. Incremental deposit pricing outperformance or underperformance of 5 percent in a parallel, instantaneous 100 basis point shock would increase or decrease net interest income by approximately $45 million.
The table below summarizes Regions' positioning over the next 12 months in various parallel yield curve shifts (i.e., all yield curve tenors move by the same magnitude). The scenarios are inclusive of all interest rate hedging activities. More information regarding hedges is disclosed in Table 18 and its accompanying description.

(1)Disclosed interest rate sensitivity levels represent the 12-month forward looking net interest income changes as compared to market forward rate cases and include expected balance sheet growth and remixing.
(2)Active hedges, including forward starting hedges, are included in the sensitivity analysis to the extent that they fall within the measurement horizon.
While not depicted in the table above, interest rate movements may also have an impact on the value of Regions’ securities portfolio, which can directly impact the carrying value of shareholders’ equity.
Derivatives—Regions uses financial derivative instruments for management of interest rate sensitivity. ALCO, which consists of members of Regions’ senior management team, in its oversight role for the management of interest rate sensitivity, approves the use of derivatives in balance sheet hedging strategies. Derivatives are also used to offset the risks associated with customer derivatives, which include interest rate, credit, and foreign exchange risks. The most common derivatives Regions employs are forward rate contracts, forward sale commitments, futures contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate options (caps, floors and collars), and contracts with a combination of these instruments.
Forward rate contracts are commitments to buy or sell financial instruments at a future date at a specified price or yield. Futures contracts subject Regions to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. Because futures contracts are cash settled daily, there is minimal credit risk associated with futures. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements typically entered into to exchange fixed for variable (or vice versa) streams of interest payments. The notional principal is not exchanged but is used as a reference for the size of interest settlements. Interest rate options are contracts that allow the buyer to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a predetermined price and time. Forward sale commitments are contractual obligations to sell market instruments at a future date for an already agreed-upon price. Foreign currency contracts involve the exchange of one currency for another on a specified date and at a specified rate. These contracts are executed on behalf of the Company's customers and are used by customers to manage fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to the credit risk that another party will fail to perform.
Regions has made use of interest rate swaps and options in balance sheet hedging strategies to effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate funding position to a variable-rate position, to effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt securities available for sale portfolio to a variable-rate position, and to effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate loan portfolios to fixed-rate. Regions also uses derivatives to economically manage interest rate and pricing risk associated with its mortgage origination business. In the period of time that elapses between the origination and sale of mortgage loans, changes in interest rates have the potential to cause a decline in the value of the loans in this held-for-sale portfolio. Futures contracts and forward sale commitments are used to protect the value of the loan pipeline and loans held for sale from changes in interest rates and pricing.

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company added $748 million in spot-starting pay-fixed swaps, with a pay rate of 3.6 percent and an average maturity in 2032, to reduce AOCI volatility in the available for sale securities portfolio. As a partial offset to the interest rate risk associated with these pay-fixed fair value hedges, the Company added $500 million in receive-fixed interest rate swaps (floating rate loan hedges) with a receive rate of 3.4 percent, which will become active in January 2026 and mature in May 2032. The Company also added $261 million in primarily forward-starting pay-fixed interest rate swaps with an average pay rate of 4.0 percent, which have an average start date in 2029 and an average maturity in 2033, to reduce AOCI volatility associated with securities reinvestment.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025, $2.0 billion in forward-starting receive-fixed interest rate swaps (floating rate loan hedges) beginning in January 2028 and maturing in January 2033 were added at an average receive rate of 3.7 percent.

(1)Active hedges, including forward-starting hedges, are included in the sensitivity levels disclosed in Table 17 to the extent that they fall within the measurement horizon.
Regions manages the credit risk of these instruments in much the same way as it manages credit risk of the loan portfolios by establishing credit limits for each counterparty and through collateral agreements for dealer transactions. For non-dealer transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated on an individual transaction basis and is primarily dependent on the financial strength of the counterparty. Credit risk is also reduced significantly by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements. When there is more than one transaction with a counterparty and there is a legally enforceable master netting agreement in place, the exposure represents the net of the gain and loss positions with and collateral received from and/or posted to that counterparty. Most hedging interest rate swap derivatives traded by Regions are subject to mandatory clearing. The counterparty risk for cleared trades effectively moves from the executing broker to the clearinghouse allowing Regions to benefit from the risk mitigation controls in place at the respective clearinghouse. See the “Credit Risk” section in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the management of credit risk.
Regions also uses derivatives to meet the needs of its customers. Interest rate swaps, interest rate options and foreign exchange forwards are the most common derivatives sold to customers. Other derivative instruments with similar characteristics are used to hedge market risk and minimize volatility associated with this portfolio. Instruments used to service customers are held in the trading account, with changes in value recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
The primary objective of Regions’ hedging strategies is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes, from an economic perspective, on net interest income and other financing income and the net present value of its balance sheet. The overall effectiveness of these hedging strategies is subject to market conditions, the quality of Regions’ execution, the accuracy of its valuation assumptions, counterparty credit risk and changes in interest rates.
See Note 9 "Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities" to the consolidated financial statements for a tabular summary of Regions’ year-end derivatives positions and further discussion.
Regions accounts for residential MSRs at fair market value with any changes to fair value being recorded within mortgage income. Regions also accounts for non-DUS agency commercial MSRs at fair market value with changes to fair value recorded within capital markets income. Regions enters into derivative transactions to economically mitigate the impact of market value fluctuations related to MSRs at fair market value. Derivative instruments entered into in the future could be materially different from the current risk profile of Regions’ current portfolio.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is an important factor in the financial condition of Regions and affects Regions’ ability to meet the needs of the Company and its customers. Regions’ goal in liquidity management is to maintain diverse liquidity sources and reserves sufficient to satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, under normal and stressed conditions. Accordingly, Regions maintains a variety of liquidity sources to fund its obligations, as further described below. See also Note 12 "Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of the Company’s funding requirements. Furthermore, Regions performs specific procedures, including scenario analyses and stress testing to evaluate and maintain appropriate levels of available liquidity in alignment with liquidity risk.
Regions' operation of its business provides a generally balanced liquidity base which is comprised of customer assets, consisting principally of loans, and funding provided by customer deposits and borrowed funds. Maturities in the loan portfolio provide a steady flow of funds, and are supplemented by Regions' deposit base.
Cash reserves, liquid assets and secured borrowing capabilities aid in the management of liquidity in normal and stressed conditions, and/or meeting the need of contingent events such as obligations related to potential litigation. As part of its normal management practice, Regions maintains collateral and operational readiness to utilize secured funding sources such as the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank on a same-day basis (subject to any practical constraints affecting these market participants). While the securities portfolio is a primary source of liquidity, the secured borrowing capabilities, in addition to cash reserves on hand, assist in alleviating the Company's need to sell securities for funding purposes. Liquidity needs can also be met by borrowing funds in national money markets, though Regions does maintain limits on short-term unsecured funding due to the volatility that can affect such markets.
The following table summarizes the Company's available sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2025:

(1) Includes small in transit items that may not yet be reflected in the Federal Reserve Bank master account closing balance.
(2) Unencumbered investment securities comprise securities that are eligible as collateral for secured transactions through market channels or are eligible to be pledged to the FHLB, the Federal Reserve discount window, or the Standing Repo Facility.
The balance with the Federal Reserve Bank is the primary component of the balance sheet line item “interest-bearing deposits in other banks.” At June 30, 2025, Regions had approximately $7.9 billion in cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and other depository institutions, a slight increase from approximately $7.8 billion at December 31, 2024.
The securities portfolio also serves as a primary source and storehouse of liquidity. Proceeds from maturities and principal and interest payments of securities provide a continual flow of funds available for cash needs (see Note 3 "Debt Securities" to the consolidated financial statements). Furthermore, the highly liquid nature of the available for sale securities portfolio (for example, the agency guaranteed MBS portfolio) can be readily used as a source of cash through various secured borrowing arrangements. Regions' securities portfolio consists of residential and commercial agency MBS, U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency securities, and corporate and other debt. In evaluating the liquidity within the securities portfolio, unencumbered investment securities are primarily comprised of U.S Treasury securities and residential and commercial agency MBS. Unencumbered investment securities also includes certain corporate bonds considered to be highly liquid and other securities.
Regions’ financing arrangement with the FHLB adds additional flexibility in managing the Company's liquidity position. As of June 30, 2025, Regions had $2.0 billion in long-term FHLB borrowings and had borrowing capacity as shown in Table 20. FHLB borrowing capacity was determined based on eligible securities and loan amounts, as of June 30, 2025, that were pledged as collateral for future borrowing capacity. Additionally, investment in FHLB stock is required in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. The FHLB has been and is expected to continue to be a reliable and economical source of funding.
Regions has additional borrowing availability with the Federal Reserve Bank through the discount window as shown in Table 20. Federal Reserve Bank borrowing capacity is determined based on eligible loan amounts that were pledged as collateral for future borrowing capacity. Also through the Federal Reserve Bank, Regions is an eligible Standing Repo Facility counterparty, which supplements Regions' available channels for monetizing unencumbered securities.
Regions maintains a shelf registration statement with the SEC that can be utilized by Regions to issue various debt and/or equity securities. Additionally, Regions' Board has authorized Regions Bank to issue up to $10 billion in aggregate principal amount of bank notes outstanding at any one time. Refer to Note 11 "Borrowed Funds" to the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Regions may, from time to time, consider opportunistically retiring outstanding issued securities, including subordinated debt in privately negotiated or open market transactions for cash or common shares. Regulatory approval would be required for retirement of some instruments. See Note 6 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Regions' liquidity policy requires the holding company to maintain cash sufficient to cover the greater of (1) 18 months of debt service and other cash needs or (2) a minimum cash balance of $500 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the holding company exceeded minimums and totaled $969 million at June 30, 2025. Overall liquidity risk limits are established by the Board through its Risk Appetite Statement and Liquidity Policy. The Company's Board, LROC and ALCO regularly review compliance with the established limits.
Refer to Part 1 Item1C. Cybersecurity in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further discussion of Regions' risk identification and assessment, risk management and governance of information security risk.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses is used to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit losses at a level that management determines is appropriate to absorb expected credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and credit commitment portfolio at the balance sheet date. In the second quarter of 2025, the provision exceeded net charge-offs by $13 million compared to $1 million in the second quarter of 2024. In the first six months of 2025, the provision exceeded net charge-offs by $14 million compared to $32 million in the first six months of 2024. Refer to the "Allowance" section for further detail.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts include overdraft fees, treasury management fees and other customer transaction-related service charges. Service charges increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, driven by an increase in fees from treasury management services and, to a lesser degree, overdraft fees.
On October 25, 2023, the Federal Reserve issued a proposal for public comment that, if finalized, would lower the maximum interchange fee that a large debit card issuer can receive for a debit card transaction. Under the proposed rule the
maximum interchange fee would be subject to adjustments every other year based upon issuer cost data. The Company is studying the proposal and evaluating its impact.
On December 12, 2024, the CFPB adopted a final rule that caps overdraft fees in line with a benchmark fee of $5 or an amount that covers an institution's costs and losses using a standard set forth in the rules. Alternatively, an institution can charge higher overdraft fees by complying with the standard regulatory requirements governing other loans, including credit cards. The final rule is currently scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2025. However, under the presidential memorandum entitled “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,” rules with future effective dates may be re-evaluated. Therefore, though the Company will continue to monitor and evaluate potential impact, the nature and timing of future developments that may potentially impact this or other CFPB rules and proposals cannot be predicted.
Capital Markets Income
Capital markets income primarily relates to capital raising activities that include real estate placement, securities underwriting and placement, loan syndication, as well as foreign exchange, derivatives, merger and acquisition and other advisory services. Capital markets income increased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 driven by higher loan syndication revenue, commercial swap income and, to a lesser degree, securities and underwriting placement fees. The second quarter of 2025 benefited from higher merger and acquisition fees whereas these fees declined for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, due to economic uncertainty in the first quarter of 2025 impacting the timing of transactions. The overall increases in both periods were partially offset by declines in real estate transactions.
Mortgage Income
Mortgage income is generated through the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans for long-term investors and sales of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. The increase in mortgage income in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was due primarily to favorable mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments. The increase in mortgage income in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was partially offset by negative pipeline valuation adjustments.
Investment Services Fee Income
Investment services fee income represents income earned from investment advisory services. Investment services fee income increased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to strong advisor production.
Market Value Adjustments on Employee Benefit Assets
Market value adjustments on employee benefit assets are the reflection of market value variations related to assets held for certain employee benefits. The adjustments are offset in salaries and benefits and other non-interest expense.
Securities Gains (Losses), Net
Net securities gains (losses) primarily result from the Company's asset/liability and capital management processes. In both 2025 and 2024, the Company sold debt securities and reinvested the proceeds at higher current market yields. See Table 1 "Debt Securities" for more information.

Salaries and Employee Benefits
Salaries and employee benefits consist of salaries, incentive compensation, long-term incentives, payroll taxes, and other employee benefits such as 401(k), pension, and medical, life and disability insurance, as well as, expenses from liabilities held for employee benefit purposes. Salaries and employee benefits increased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to higher base salaries from annual merit increases, higher production-based incentives, and increases in other benefits expense which was driven by higher medical expenses due to inflation. Also included in salaries and employee benefits expense are market valuations on employee benefits liabilities (mostly offset in non-interest revenue as shown in Table 21) which contributed to the increase in the three months ended June 30, 2025, but served as a partial offset in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024. Lastly, in the second quarter and first six months of 2024, salaries and employee benefits expense included severance expense of $4 million and $17 million, respectively. Full-time equivalent headcount increased to 19,642 at June 30, 2025 from 19,595 at June 30, 2024.
FDIC Insurance Assessments
FDIC insurance assessments decreased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily resulting from updates to the special assessment which was initially recorded in 2023 due to bank failures. In the second quarter and first six months of 2024, the Company increased the special assessment accrual by $4 million and $22 million, respectively, based upon revised loss estimates related to the failures. Contributing to the overall decreases were reductions of the base assessment primarily due to higher unsecured debt and lower concentration risk.
Operational losses include losses related to fraud, execution, delivery and process management, and damage to physical assets. Operational losses decreased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to improvements in check fraud during the first six months of 2025 as a result of effective countermeasures.
Other Miscellaneous Expenses
Other miscellaneous expenses include expenses related to communications, postage, supplies, certain credit-related costs, foreclosed property expenses, mortgage repurchase costs, and other costs (benefits) related to employee benefit plans. Other miscellaneous expenses increased the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to a contingent reserve release in the second quarter of 2024 related to a prior acquisition that did not repeat.
INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $143 million compared to $124 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.3% and 19.8%, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $274 million compared to $220 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.7% and 20.2%, respectively.
The effective tax rate is affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the level of pre-tax income, the mix of income between various tax jurisdictions with differing tax rates, enacted tax legislation, net tax benefits related to affordable housing investments, bank-owned life insurance income, tax-exempt interest and nondeductible expenses. In addition, the effective tax rate is affected by items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period-to-period, such as the termination of certain leveraged leases, share-based payments, valuation allowance changes and changes to UTBs. Accordingly, the comparability of the effective tax rate between periods may be impacted.
At June 30, 2025, the Company reported a net deferred tax asset of $445 million compared to $775 million at December 31, 2024. The change in the net deferred tax position was due primarily to the deferred tax impact of decreases in unrealized losses on securities available for sale and derivative instruments arising during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed into law. The Company is still evaluating the impacts of the statute to the consolidated financial statements and expects that such impacts will be immaterial.
