Personalis Highlights Clinical Impact of Ultrasensitive ctDNA Monitoring and New Therapy Resistance Tracking at AACR 2026

Podium presentation on NeXT Personal® monitoring neoadjuvant therapy in colorectal cancer;

Real-world data from 10,000 patients reinforce industry-leading sensitivity;

Data presented for a new NeXT Personal feature for monitoring resistance mutations

FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for precision oncology, today announced the successful presentation of clinical data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. The data, spanning one oral podium presentation and three posters, underscore the use of the NeXT Personal ultrasensitive ctDNA assay in monitoring treatment response, identifying early recurrence, and tracking the emergence of therapy resistance.

Neoadjuvant Monitoring in Colorectal Cancer. A highlight was the oral podium presentation of the NEOPRISM-CRC trial, delivered by Dr. Jiang from the University College London, which utilized NeXT Personal to monitor patients with high-risk stage II-III dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRC) receiving neoadjuvant pembrolizumab. In addition to 100% sensitivity for disease at baseline, the study identified three distinct groups of patient response to neoadjuvant treatment: super molecular responders, dynamic molecular responders, and poor molecular responders. Notably, 100% of “super molecular responders”—those who cleared ctDNA by the second cycle of treatment—also achieved pathological complete response (pCR). Conversely, of “poor molecular responders”—patients with relatively stable ctDNA levels during neoadjuvant treatment—100% did not achieve pCR. These findings could provide clinicians with a critical window to adjust treatment strategies prior to surgery. Post-surgery, the test achieved a 100% negative predictive value (NPV) and 100% specificity for disease relapse.

“The data presented at AACR confirm ultrasensitive ctDNA detection with NeXT Personal as a promising therapy monitoring tool in neoadjuvant colorectal cancer treatment,” said Dr. Richard Chen, President and Chief Medical Officer at Personalis. “By measuring molecular response with high resolution, we are providing the tools needed to explore ctDNA-guided management of colorectal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy.”

Ultrasensitivity in Real-World Data. In a large-scale analysis of nearly 25,000 plasma samples from 10,000 real-world patients, NeXT Personal demonstrated consistent ultrasensitive performance with a median limit of detection of 1.92 PPM. The study also revealed that 39% of all positive MRD detections occurred in the ultrasensitive range below 100 PPM, with 14.6% below 10 PPM—detections that could be missed with less sensitive assays. This study also highlights the robust ultrasensitive performance of the NeXT Personal assay in real-world testing conditions across more than 14 cancer types, stage I-IV disease, and a variety of challenging sample types.

Innovation in Therapy Resistance Tracking. Personalis also debuted analytical validation and real-world data for a new opt-in feature of its NeXT Personal MRD test: Real-Time Variant Tracker™. This feature allows for the simultaneous monitoring of MRD and the longitudinal tracking of specific resistance-associated mutations, such as ESR1. With a specificity of >99.9%, resistance and other clinical mutations were identified in 38% of MRD-positive patients across the real-world cohort, offering a new tool for tracking treatment resistance as it emerges.

Monitoring Immunotherapy Response in NSCLC. The DARWIN 2 study results in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) demonstrated NeXT Personal’s ability to stratify risk in patients receiving immunotherapy. Patients who achieved a durable molecular complete response (dmCR) remained 100% progression-free at three years, whereas patients who failed to achieve molecular clearance were five times more likely to experience disease progression.

Together, these studies illustrate Personalis’ commitment to improving cancer management through ultrasensitive MRD testing throughout the patient journey.

Trident Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change

SINGAPORE, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd (“Trident” or the “Company,” NASDAQ: TDTH), a leading catalyst for digital transformation in technology optimization services and Web 3.0 activation based in Singapore, today announced that it will effectuate its previously announced change of the ratio of its American depositary shares (“ADSs”) to its Class B ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”), par value US$0.00001 per share, from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to eight (8) Class B ordinary shares to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to two hundred and forty (240) Class B ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”) on April 24, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

For the Company’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-thirty reverse ADS split. On the Effective Date, holders of ADSs in the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) and in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) will have their ADSs automatically exchanged and need not take any action. The exchange of every thirty (30) then-held (existing) ADSs for one (1) new ADS will occur automatically, on the Effective Date, with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the depositary bank.

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the ADS Ratio Change. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank.

The Company’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TDTH.” The ADS Ratio Change will have no impact on the Company’s underlying Class B ordinary shares, and no Class B ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.

  • does not include any expected new contracts (excluding renewals) greater than $1m ARR in 2026;

  • we will maintain our customer retention levels, and specifically, our customers will renew contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, at rates not materially inconsistent with our historical experience; and

  • with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, we will contain expense levels while expanding our business.

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information.

Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this press release represents our expectations as of the date specified herein, and are subject to change after such date. However, we disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities laws.

All of the forward-looking information contained in this press release is expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Additional information relating to Docebo, including our AIF, can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Non-IFRS Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) industry. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with alternative measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures, including SaaS industry metrics, in the evaluation of companies in the SaaS industry. Management also uses non-IFRS measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, the preparation of annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. The non-IFRS measures referred to in this press release include “Adjusted EBITDA”, and “Annual Recurring Revenue”.

Many of the Adjusted EBITDA figures in this press release are forward-looking in nature. The differences between the Adjusted EBITDA figures in this press release that are forward-looking and the equivalent historical non-IFRS financial measures are generally a result of our expected increase in 2026 revenues, as described above.

For a reconciliation of the first quarter and fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA figures to their nearest IFRS measure (being net income) please see the section titled “Key Performance Indicators” in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the Year Ended December 31, 2025, respectively, which sections are incorporated by reference into this press release and is available under our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the term of the subscription period under the provisions of our agreements with customers. The terms of our agreements, combined with high customer retention rates, provides us with a significant degree of visibility into our near-term revenues. Management uses a number of metrics, including the ones identified below, to measure the Company’s performance and customer trends, which are used to prepare financial plans and shape future strategy. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other companies.

  • Annual Recurring Revenue: We define Annual Recurring Revenue as the annualized equivalent value of the subscription revenue of all existing contracts (including Original Equipment Manufacturer contracts) as at the date being measured, excluding non-recurring revenues from implementation, support and maintenance fees. Our customers generally enter into annual or multi-year contracts which are non-cancellable or cancellable with penalty. Accordingly, our calculation of Annual Recurring Revenue assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal. Subscription agreements may be subject to price increases upon renewal reflecting both inflationary increases and the additional value provided by our solutions. In addition to the expected increase in subscription revenue from price increases over time, existing customers may subscribe for additional features, learners or services during the term. We believe that this measure provides a fair real-time measure of performance in a subscription-based environment. Annual Recurring Revenue provides us with visibility for consistent and predictable growth to our cash flows.

  • Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding net finance income, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, other income, foreign exchange gains and losses, acquisition related compensation, transaction related expenses and restructuring costs, if any. The IFRS measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA presented in our financial statements is net income.

Synthflow AI and 8×8 Enter Strategic Partnership to Deliver Next-Generation Agentic AI

This collaboration integrates Synthflow into the 8×8 Contact Center, automating self-service while enhancing agent support across AI calls, chat, and digital channels. The new technology helps joint customers avoid missing calls, ultimately converting more leads, empowering customers to increase their CSAT scores, and reducing operational costs. Additionally, customers can set up Al answering assistants without developer support.

The global voice AI market is expected to grow to $54 billion by 2033, and this partnership addresses the growing need for modern, enterprise-ready conversational AI. By replacing legacy point solutions, Synthflow enables joint customers to avoid long implementation cycles and complex setups. The platform delivers natural, human-like conversations with low latency, advanced interruption handling, memory capabilities, and support for over 30 languages. These features allow businesses to achieve faster resolution times and higher containment rates.

Hakob Astabatsyan, CEO of Synthflow, said: “Our partnership with 8×8 validates the strength of our agentic AI capabilities and the sophisticated framework we use. Having handled over 65 million voice interactions, we’ve seen firsthand the significant impact that transformative AI has on businesses in driving efficiency, satisfaction, and lowering costs.

“We give 8×8 and Synthflow customers an agile, innovation-focused alternative to legacy systems, making it easier than ever to transform customer interactions with intelligent automation at scale.”

The integration provides a distinct competitive advantage in the cloud contact center market. The long-term strategic alignment also includes future roadmap initiatives, such as enabling 8×8 and its channel partners to resell Synthflow directly, alongside offering the platform to small and medium businesses through the 8×8 App Store.

Victor Belfor, Global Vice President, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at 8×8, Inc., said: “As consumers become increasingly comfortable engaging with AI agents, it’s vital that our customers recognize this channel as a priority for seamless, effective customer engagement. By partnering with Synthflow, we’re providing joint customers with the modern capabilities they need to help improve their satisfaction scores and quickly implement advanced voice automation.”

Mr. Shaozhang Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Youxin Technology Ltd, commented: “Celnet’s audited fiscal 2025 results demonstrate meaningful progress in both scale and profitability, highlighted by solid revenue growth, gross profit expansion and net income. We believe Celnet adds a strategically valuable set of enterprise service capabilities to our platform, including CRM implementation, systems integration, and customer engagement solutions. Celnet also brings a well-established market position and proven execution capabilities as a top-tier Salesforce consulting partner in China. Historically recognized as a Salesforce Platinum Partner in China and transitioned to the Summit tier under Salesforce’s updated partner program in 2026, Celnet is recognized for elite consulting and implementation capabilities, certified expertise, successful enterprise-scale delivery, and strong customer satisfaction. We believe these capabilities will meaningfully complement and enhance our existing SaaS and PaaS offerings, further strengthening the foundation of our long-term growth strategy.”

Mr. Lin continued, “Following the acquisition, we believe Celnet is well positioned to accelerate the execution of our long-term growth strategy. By broadening our enterprise customer reach, deepening our solution portfolio, and enabling more comprehensive, larger-scale digital transformation initiatives across industries, we are confident that this transaction will strengthen our overall business platform and enhance our ability to create sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Commerce Bancshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter Earnings Per Share of $.96

KANSAS CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Commerce Bancshares, Inc. announced earnings of $.96 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $.93 per share in the same quarter last year and $1.01 per share in the fourth quarter of 2025. Net income for the first quarter of 2026 amounted to $141.6 million, compared to $131.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $140.7 million in the prior quarter.

In making this announcement, John Kemper, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We delivered a strong first quarter highlighted by solid profitability and continued momentum across our diversified fee businesses. This was also our first full quarter incorporating FineMark, a strategic investment that meaningfully enhances our private banking and wealth management capabilities and expands our presence in highly attractive growth markets. Our overall performance reflected the strength of our franchise, supported by resilient net interest income, continued trust fee growth, and solid returns across our core profitability measures.

Mr. Kemper continued, “Our return on average assets remained solid at 1.62% while maintaining excellent credit quality, with non-accrual loans at just .05% of total loans. Non-interest income was $175.9 million and comprised 37% of total revenue.”

“We also remained focused on thoughtful capital deployment, returning excess capital to shareholders through the repurchase of more than $84 million of common stock this quarter while maintaining a conservative capital posture that underpins our long‑term strength and flexibility. As we look ahead, Commerce is well positioned to navigate an uncertain economic environment with discipline and confidence, balancing near‑term conditions with continued investment in long‑term growth. Our strategy remains centered on delivering consistent performance and creating durable, long‑term value for our shareholders.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:

  • On January 1, 2026, Commerce Bancshares, Inc. completed its acquisition of FineMark Holdings, Inc.

  • Net interest income was $299.8 million, a $16.7 million increase over the prior quarter. The net yield on interest earning assets decreased one basis point to 3.59%.

  • Non-interest income totaled $175.9 million, an increase of $16.9 million, or 10.6%, over the same quarter last year.

  • Trust fees grew $14.5 million, or 25.5%, over the same period last year, mostly due to higher private client fees.

  • Non-interest expense totaled $291.1 million and included $14.0 million in acquisition-related expense.

  • Assets under administration grew $14.9 billion, or 19.5%, over the same period last year.

  • Average loan balances totaled $20.3 billion, an increase of $2.7 billion, or 15.2%, over the prior quarter.

  • Total average available for sale debt securities decreased $269.0 million from the prior quarter to $8.9 billion, at fair value.

  • Total average deposits increased $2.1 billion, or 8.2%, over the prior quarter to $27.7 billion.

  • The ratio of annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans was .30% in the current quarter compared to .22% in the prior quarter.

  • The allowance for credit losses on loans increased $19.1 million during the first quarter of 2026 to $198.6 million, and the ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was .97% at March 31, 2026, compared to 1.01% at December 31, 2025.

  • Total assets on March 31, 2026 were $35.7 billion, an increase of $2.8 billion over the prior quarter.

  • For the quarter, the return on average assets was 1.62%, the return on average equity was 13.22%, and the efficiency ratio was 60.0%. Quarterly profitability metrics reflected elevated acquisition-related expenses of approximately $14 million, which temporarily pressured the efficiency ratio and return on average assets.

Management Discussion of First Quarter Results

March 31, 2026

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net income amounted to $141.6 million, compared to $140.7 million in the previous quarter and $131.6 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in net income over the previous quarter was primarily the result of higher net interest income, non-interest income, gains on investment securities, and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, partly offset by higher non-interest expense. The net yield on interest earning assets decreased one basis point from the previous quarter to 3.59%. Average loans and deposits increased $2.7 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, while available for sale investment securities, at fair value, decreased $269.0 million compared to the prior quarter. For the quarter, the return on average assets was 1.62%, the return on average equity was 13.22%, and the efficiency ratio was 60.0%.

On January 1, 2026, the Company closed on its previously announced acquisition of FineMark Holdings, Inc. (“FineMark”), Ft. Meyers, Florida, with 13 banking locations in Florida, Arizona, and South Carolina. The acquisition added total assets of approximately $3.9 billion, including loans of $2.7 billion, total deposits of $3.1 billion and assets under administration of $8.7 billion.

Balance Sheet Review

During the 1st quarter of 2026, average loans totaled $20.3 billion, an increase of $2.7 billion over the prior quarter, and an increase of $3.1 billion over the same quarter last year. The increase in average balances over both periods was primarily due to the acquisition of FineMark, which added $2.7 billion in loan balances. Compared to the previous quarter, average balances of personal real estate, business, business real estate, revolving home equity and consumer loans grew $1.4 billion, $369.3 million, $315.0 million, $238.9 million and $221.0 million, respectively. During the current quarter, the Company sold certain fixed rate personal real estate loans totaling $26.2 million, compared to $27.0 million in the prior quarter.

Total average available for sale debt securities decreased $269.0 million from the previous quarter to $8.9 billion, at fair value. The decrease in available for sale debt securities was mainly the result of lower average balances of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. During the 1st quarter of 2026, the unrealized loss on available for sale debt securities increased $40.7 million to $687.5 million, at period end. Also, during the 1st quarter of 2026, maturities and pay downs of available for sale debt securities were $410.7 million. On March 31, 2026, the duration of the available for sale investment portfolio was 4.2 years, and maturities and pay downs of approximately $1.2 billion are expected to occur during the next 12 months.

Average interest earning deposits with banks increased $210.4 million over average balances in the previous quarter, and the average balances within other assets increased $374.4 million mainly due to increases in goodwill, intangible assets, and premises and equipment related to the Company’s acquisition of FineMark.

Total average deposits increased $2.1 billion this quarter over the previous quarter. The increase in average balances was primarily due to the acquisition of FineMark, which added $2.7 billion of interest bearing and $425 million of non-interest bearing deposit balances. Shortly after the acquisition, the Company moved $1.0 billion of FineMark’s high-cost, money market deposit balances off-balance sheet. Compared to the prior quarter, average interest checking and money market deposits and demand deposits increased $1.7 billion and $282.1 million, respectively. Additionally, average balances of certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over increased $76.0 million compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to deposit balances acquired from FineMark. Compared to the previous quarter, total average wealth and retail banking deposits grew $2.3 billion and $251.0 million, respectively, while commercial deposits declined $408.3 million. The average loans to deposits ratio was 73.4% in the current quarter and 69.0% in the prior quarter. The Company’s average borrowings, which included average customer repurchase agreements of $2.7 billion, increased $345.7 million to $2.9 billion in the 1st quarter of 2026. Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $350.0 million, which the Company acquired from the FineMark acquisition, were paid off in January 2026.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the 1st quarter of 2026 amounted to $299.8 million, an increase of $16.7 million over the previous quarter. On a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis, net interest income for the current quarter increased $16.4 million over the previous quarter to $302.2 million. The increase in net interest income was mostly due to the acquisition of FineMark on January 1, 2026. Accretion income on FineMark’s loans resulting from purchase accounting adjustments totaled $6.9 million. The net yield (FTE) on earning assets decreased to 3.59%, from 3.60% in the prior quarter.

Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans (FTE) increased $30.4 million, mostly due to higher average balances in all loan categories, except consumer credit cards, and higher average rates earned on personal real estate loans, partly offset by lower average rates earned on business, construction, and business real estate loans. The average yield (FTE) on the loan portfolio decreased five basis points to 5.79% this quarter.

Interest income on investment securities (FTE) decreased $7.3 million compared to the prior quarter, mostly due to lower average rates earned on U.S. government and federal agency obligations and other securities and lower average balances of asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. Interest income earned on U.S. government and federal agency obligations included the impact of a $3.8 million decrease in inflation income from Treasury inflation-protected securities compared to the previous quarter. In the prior quarter, interest on other securities included dividend income of $2.1 million related to a private equity investment that did not reoccur in the current quarter. Additionally, the Company recorded a $940 thousand adjustment to premium amortization on March 31, 2026, which increased interest income to reflect slower forward prepayment speed estimates on mortgage-backed securities. This increase was higher than the $731 thousand adjustment that increased interest income in the prior quarter. The average yield (FTE) on total investment securities was 2.97% in the current quarter, compared to 3.12% in the previous quarter.

Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on deposits with banks decreased $401 thousand as lower average rates more than offset higher average balances. Interest expense increased $6.2 million over the previous quarter, mainly due to higher average interest bearing deposit balances, partly offset by lower average rates paid on interest bearing deposit balances. Interest expense on deposits increased $5.1 million mostly due to higher average interest checking and money market deposit account balances. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits totaled 1.61% in the current quarter compared to 1.62% in the prior quarter. The overall rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 1.72% in the current quarter and 1.75% in the prior quarter.

Non-Interest Income

In the 1st quarter of 2026, total non-interest income amounted to $175.9 million, an increase of $16.9 million, or 10.6%, over the same period last year and an increase of $9.6 million over the prior quarter. The increase in non-interest income compared to the same period last year was mainly due to higher trust fees and deposit account fees. The increase in non-interest income compared to the prior quarter was mainly due to higher trust fees.

Total net bank card fees in the current quarter were flat compared to the same period last year and decreased $1.2 million compared to the prior quarter. Net corporate card fees were flat compared to the same quarter last year. Net merchant fees decreased $184 thousand, or 3.2%, while net debit card fees increased $301 thousand, or 2.9%, mainly due to higher interchange income. Net credit card fees decreased $173 thousand, or 4.8%, mostly due to higher rewards expense. Total net bank card fees this quarter were comprised of fees on corporate card ($26.0 million), debit card ($10.6 million), merchant ($5.6 million) and credit card ($3.4 million) transactions.

In the current quarter, trust fees increased $14.5 million, or 25.5%, over the same period last year, and increased $8.9 million, or 14.4%, over the prior quarter, mostly resulting from higher private client fees. Compared to the same period last year, deposit account fees increased $2.0 million, or 7.3%, mostly due to higher corporate cash management fees.

For the 1st quarter of 2026, non-interest income comprised 37.0% of the Company’s total revenue.

Investment Securities Gains and Losses

The Company recorded net securities gains of $11.6 million in the current quarter, compared to net gains of $2.9 million in the prior quarter and net securities losses of $7.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2025. Net securities gains in the current quarter mostly resulted from net fair value adjustments of $10.9 million on the Company’s portfolio of private equity investments.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the current quarter amounted to $291.1 million, compared to $238.4 million in the same period last year and $253.0 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter included $14.0 million in acquisition-related expense, compared to $2.8 million in the previous quarter, as well as acquisition-related intangible amortization expense of $5.4 million. The increase in non-interest expense over the same period last year was mainly due to higher salaries and benefits expense, data processing and software expense, professional and other services expense, and intangible amortization expense. The increase in non-interest expense over the prior quarter was mainly due to higher salaries and benefits expense, data processing and software expense, professional and other services expense, intangible amortization expense and deposit insurance expense.

Compared to the 1st quarter of 2025, salaries and employee benefits expense increased $27.7 million, or 18.1%, mostly due to an accrual for retention bonuses, acquisition-related compensation payments and the onboarding of FineMark’s team members. Acquisition-related salaries and benefits expense was $6.6 million in the current quarter. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 4,960 and 4,662 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Compared to the same period last year, data processing and software expense increased $6.1 million due to higher costs for service providers and software. Professional and other services, which increased $8.8 million compared to the 1st quarter of 2025, included $4.7 million in acquisition-related legal and professional services expense. The increase in other non-interest expense was mainly due to increases of $5.4 million in intangible amortization expense related to the FineMark acquisition and $2.0 million in other acquisition-related expense. Compared to the prior quarter, deposit insurance expense increased $4.0 million due to a $3.9 million accrual adjustment to the FDIC’s special assessment, recorded in the 4th quarter of 2025.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the Company was 22.4% in the current quarter, 22.4% in the prior quarter, and 21.9% in the 1st quarter of 2025.

Credit Quality

Net loan charge-offs in the 1st quarter of 2026 amounted to $15.0 million, compared to $9.9 million in the prior quarter, and $10.8 million in the same period last year. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to total average loans was .30% in the current quarter, .22% in the previous quarter, and .25% in the same quarter of last year. Compared to the prior quarter, net charge-offs on business real estate loans and consumer credit card loans increased $5.4 million and $651 thousand, respectively, while net charge-offs on consumer loans decreased $730 thousand. The increase in business real estate loan net charge-offs was mainly due to a charge-off on a senior living non-accrual loan.

In the 1st quarter of 2026, annualized net charge-offs on average consumer credit card loans were 5.21%, compared to 4.55% in the previous quarter and 5.04% in the same quarter last year. Consumer loan net charge-offs were .30% of average consumer loans in the current quarter, .45% in the prior quarter, and .56% in the same quarter last year.

At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $198.6 million, or .97% of total loans, and increased $19.1 million compared to the prior quarter. The increase was mostly attributed to the acquisition of FineMark, which added $22.8 million to the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2026. Additionally, the liability for unfunded lending commitments on March 31, 2026 was $17.7 million, flat compared to the liability on December 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026, total non-accrual loans amounted to $10.9 million, a decrease of $4.8 million compared to the previous quarter. At March 31, 2026, the balance of non-accrual loans, which represented .05% of loans outstanding, included business real estate loans of $9.4 million, personal real estate loans of $1.3 million and business loans of $201 thousand. Loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest totaled $22.8 million at March 31, 2026.

Other

During the 1st quarter of 2026, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.275 per common share, representing a 5% increase over the same period last year. The Company purchased approximately 1.6 million shares of treasury stock during the current quarter at an average price of $51.57.

  • Accelerating simplification and modernization, including substantial artificial intelligence and cybersecurity investments.

The acquisition is subject to regulatory review and is expected to close in the back half of 2026 and be earnings neutral to 2026. UnitedHealth Group also completed the sale of the Optum UK business, with $400 million in net proceeds committed to the United Health Foundation, and entered into an arrangement to buy back at least $2 billion of its common stock, which it expects to complete by the end of the second quarter 2026.

Adjusted earnings from operations were $1.3 billion, reflecting a margin of 5.4%, excluding the positive impacts of the third-party loss contracts reserve and restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter 2025. The year-over-year change was driven by continued investments and medical costs that remain elevated, partially offset by operational improvements across the business.

  • Optum Insight’s first quarter 2026 revenues of $5.1 billion compared to $5.0 billion in the year ago quarter.

  • First quarter 2026 earnings from operations were $1.0 billion compared to $1.2 billion in the first quarter 2025. The year-over-year decrease was driven by continued investments in people, technology and new products.

These statements may contain information about financial prospects, economic conditions and trends and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those that management expects, depending on the outcome of certain factors including: our ability to effectively estimate, price for and manage medical costs; new or changes in existing health care laws or regulations, or their enforcement or application; cyberattacks, other privacy/data security incidents, or our failure to comply with related regulations; reductions in revenue or delays to cash flows received under government programs; changes in Medicare, the CMS star ratings program or the application of risk adjustment data validation audits; the DOJ’s legal actions concerning our participation in the Medicare program; our ability to maintain and achieve improvement in quality scores impacting revenue; failure to maintain effective and efficient information systems or if our technology products do not operate as intended; risks and uncertainties associated with our businesses providing pharmacy care services; competitive pressures, including our ability to maintain or increase our market share; changes in or challenges to our public sector contract awards; failure to achieve targeted operating cost productivity improvements; failure to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with health care payers, physicians, hospitals and other service providers; the impact of potential changes in tax laws and regulations; increases in costs and other liabilities associated with litigation, government investigations, audits or reviews; risks and uncertainties associated with our increasing use of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies; failure to complete, manage or integrate strategic transactions; risks and uncertainties associated with the sale of our remaining operations in South America; risks associated with public health crises arising from large-scale medical emergencies, pandemics, natural disasters and other extreme events; failure to attract, develop, retain, and manage the succession of key employees and executives; our investment portfolio performance; impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets; failure to protect proprietary rights to our databases, software and related products; downgrades in our credit ratings; and our ability to obtain sufficient funds from our regulated subsidiaries or from external financings to fund our obligations, reinvest in our business, maintain our debt to total capital ratio at targeted levels, maintain our quarterly dividend payment cycle, or continue repurchasing shares of our common stock.

SEGMENT REALIGNMENT – PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PERFORMANCE METRICS

(in millions, except percentages)

(unaudited)

Optum Financial Segment Realignment

On January 1, 2026, we realigned certain of our businesses to respond to changes in the markets we serve and the opportunities that are emerging as the health system evolves. Optum Financial, including Optum Bank, which was historically included in Optum Health, is now included in Optum Insight. Our reportable segments remain unchanged and prior period segment financial information has been recast to conform to the 2026 presentation. There was no impact to the results of UnitedHealthcare, Optum Rx or Optum as result of the realignment of Optum Financial. The below tables provide a summary of the recasted segment information and Optum Health consumers served for the comparative prior periods.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted operating margin and adjusted revenues are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments made to these measures are as follows:

 

Intangible Amortization: Adjusted net earnings per share excludes intangible amortization from the relevant GAAP measure. As amortization fluctuates based on the size and timing of the company’s acquisition activity, management believes this exclusion provides a more useful comparison of the company’s underlying business performance and trends from period to period. While intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation, the intangible amortization is not directly related. Therefore, the related revenues are included in adjusted earnings per share.

 

Net Portfolio Divestitures and South American Impacts: Adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted earnings from operations and adjusted operating margin exclude net portfolio divestitures and South American impacts.Net portfolio divestitures and South American impacts relate to the actions taken by management in the fourth quarter of 2025 as a result of a strategic review of our assets and businesses aimed at advancing and scaling our operations, including our value-based care business at Optum Health. In the first quarter of 2026, these actions resulted in a net gain on the sales of businesses previously classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025 and net incremental losses on other businesses held for sale, including our remaining South American operations. Portfolio divestitures are not representative of the Company’s underlying business and management believes that the exclusion of these items presents a more useful comparison of the Company’s underlying business performance and trends from period to period.

 

Restructuring and Other: Adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted operating margin and adjusted revenues exclude restructuring and other items. In the first quarter of 2026, restructuring and other items included a contribution to the United Health Foundation ($400 million) funded by the cash gain on the disposition of an Optum Insight business. This was partially offset by the reduction of loss contract reserves established in the fourth quarter of 2025 ($137 million) and net valuation gains on equity securities ($59 million). These items are not representative of the Company’s underlying business and management believes that the exclusion of these items presents a more useful comparison of the Company’s underlying business performance and trends from period to period.

 

Adjusted earnings per share for the projected year ended December 31, 2026 excludes the expected reduction of loss contracts reserves of $402 million in addition to the $137 million recognized in the first quarter of 2026.
