Operating net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $101.3 million(1), or $0.55 per diluted share(1), an increase of $0.7 million in comparison to the second quarter of 2025.

Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $285.0 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, an increase of $72.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

“We’re proud to announce record operating net income surpassing $101 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, during the third quarter,” said Curtis J. Myers, Chairman and CEO of Fulton. “Our continued success is a result of our focus on serving as trusted advisors to our customers and deepening our customer relationships.”


Financial Highlights

Third quarter of 2025 operating results of $0.55 per diluted share were impacted by the following items:

  • Solid net interest margin of 3.57%, with a four basis point decrease in total cost of funds compared to the prior quarter.
  • Non-interest income increased $1.3 million to $70.4 million compared to $69.1 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-interest expense increased $3.8 million to $196.6 million compared to $192.8 million in the prior quarter. Operating non-interest expense increased $3.8 million to $191.4 million(1) compared to $187.6 million in the prior quarter.
  • Provision for credit losses was $10.2 million resulting in an allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans of $376.3 million, or 1.57% of total net loans as of September 30, 2025.
  • Common equity tier 1 capital ratio(2) increased to approximately 11.5% compared to 11.3% in the prior quarter.
  • During the third quarter of 2025, 1,650,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock were repurchased under the 2025 Repurchase Program(3) at a cost of $30.8 million or an average of $18.67 per share. The value of common stock that may be repurchased under the 2025 Repurchase Program was $85.6 million as of September 30, 2025.

The following items highlight notable changes in the components of net income in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2025:

  • Net interest income totaled $264.2 million, an increase of $9.3 million. An increase of $8.9 million in interest income on net loans and a $2.1 million decrease in interest expense on borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in interest expense on deposits and a $0.6 million decrease in interest income on other interest-earning assets. Purchase loan mark accretion from loans acquired in the Acquisition(4) was $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $11.4 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-interest income before investment securities gains (losses) was $70.4 million compared to $69.1 million in the prior quarter. The $1.3 million increase was primarily due to increases of $0.4 million in wealth management revenues, $0.3 million in overdraft fee income and $0.3 million in consumer card income. Other non-interest income increased $0.8 million primarily as a result of a gain on sale of loans of $1.1 million, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in income from equity method investments.
  • Non-interest expense was $196.6 million compared to $192.8 million in the prior quarter. The $3.8 million increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense largely due to an increase in incentive compensation expense and one additional calendar day in the third quarter of 2025. Included in salaries and employee benefits expense was $0.5 million in employee severance expense.


Balance Sheet Summary

  • Total net loans of $24.0 billion as of September 30, 2025 increased nominally in comparison to June 30, 2025. The $29.0 million increase in net loans was due to increases of $115.4 million in consumer loans(5), partially offset by a decrease of $86.4 million in commercial and other loans(5).
  • Deposits totaled $26.3 billion, an increase of $194.4 million, compared to $26.1 billion as of June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases of $442.3 million in interest-bearing demand deposits due to seasonal trends in the municipal deposit portfolio, and $145.8 million in savings deposits, partially offset by decreases of $201.6 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, $107.7 million in brokered deposits and $84.3 million in time deposits.


Provision for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

  • The provision for credit losses was $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, resulting in a $376.3 million allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans, or 1.57% of total net loans as of September 30, 2025, compared to $377.3 million, or 1.57% of total net loans as of June 30, 2025.
  • Non-performing assets were $201.0 million, or 0.63% of total assets, as of September 30, 2025, in comparison to $215.6 million, or 0.67% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025.
  • Annualized net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2025 were 0.18% of total average loans in comparison to 0.20% in the prior quarter.

Investors should recognize that the Corporation’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
