Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Citizens Financial Group reported a strong start to 2026, with first quarter net income of $517 million, up 39% from a year ago, and diluted EPS of $1.13, up 47%. Total revenue rose 12% year over year to $2.17 billion, driven by higher net interest income and solid fee growth in capital markets and wealth management.

Net interest income reached $1.56 billion, up 12%, as the fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin expanded to 3.14%. Credit quality improved, with net charge-offs at 0.39% of average loans versus 0.58% a year ago and nonaccrual loans down 5%. The allowance for credit losses covered 1.52% of loans.

Loans and leases grew 4% year over year to $143.7 billion, led by commercial lending and the Private Bank, while deposits increased 4% to $184.0 billion, including Private Bank deposits of $16.6 billion. Capital remained robust, with a CET1 ratio of 10.5% and tangible book value per share of $37.94. The board declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.46 per share and the company repurchased $300 million of common stock in the quarter.

Insights

Citizens posts strong YoY earnings growth, solid credit, and returns more capital.

Citizens Financial Group delivered notable year-over-year improvement. Net income rose to $517 million and diluted EPS to $1.13, both up sharply on a 12% revenue increase. Pre-provision profit climbed 27% year over year to $790 million, showing operating strength despite only modest sequential changes.

Profitability benefited from a higher net interest margin of 3.14% and loan growth of 4%, while average deposits increased 5%. Credit metrics moved in the right direction: net charge-offs fell to 0.39% of average loans and the allowance for credit losses stood at 1.52% of loans with 146% coverage of nonaccruals.

Capital and shareholder returns were meaningful. The CET1 ratio was 10.5%, and tangible common equity grew 9% year over year. Management paid $198 million in common dividends and repurchased $300 million of stock during the quarter, while keeping tangible book value per share broadly stable. Subsequent quarters’ results will show whether net interest margin gains and Private Bank growth can be sustained in the current rate and credit cycle.

pre-provision profit financial
"PPNR of $790 million, down 3% QoQ, up 27% YoY"
net interest margin financial
"NIM continues to expand, up 7 bps to 3.14%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
allowance for credit losses financial
"Strong ACL coverage of 1.52%"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
tangible book value per common share financial
"TBV/share of $37.94 broadly stable QoQ"
A per-share measure of the company’s tangible net asset value available to common shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill, brand value, and patents) and any preferred shareholder claims. Think of it as the amount each common share would get if the company sold only its physical and financial assets and settled priority claims. Investors use it as a conservative baseline to judge whether a stock is cheaply priced relative to the company’s hard-asset backing.
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio financial
"Common equity tier 1 capital ratio 10.5%"
A bank’s common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio measures the size of its strongest loss-absorbing capital—mainly common shares and retained earnings—relative to the bank’s assets after adjusting those assets for how risky they are (riskier loans count more). Think of it as the safety cushion compared with the weight of risky business; investors use it to judge a bank’s ability to survive losses, meet rules, and sustain dividends or growth.

“We are pleased to get off to a strong start in 2026 notwithstanding heightened geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in the macro environment,” said Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. “Our financial results in a seasonally soft quarter were good, with year-over-year EPS growth of 47%, positive operating leverage of 7%, NIM expansion of 7 bps sequentially and 24 bps versus a year ago, and a robust balance sheet position. Credit is trending favorably, the Private Bank continues to grow nicely, and Reimagine the Bank is off to a great start. We continue to be well-positioned to deliver a strong year and reach our medium-term targets.”
Citizens also announced today that its board of directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.46 per share. The dividend is payable on May 14, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 30, 2026.

First quarter 2026vs.fourth quarter 2025
Nonaccrual loans of $1.5 billion decreased modestly. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio of 1.04% compares with 1.05% at December 31, 2025.

The first quarter 2026 provision for credit losses of $140 million compares with $137 million for fourth quarter 2025.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans of 1.52% was slightly down compared with 1.53% as of December 31, 2025 reflecting improved loan mix given the continued reduction in the Non-Core portfolio and a decrease in commercial real estate balances, with originations primarily in C&I and retail real estate secured that have a lower loss content profile.
The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans and leases ratio of 146% is stable with December 31, 2025.
First quarter 2026vs.first quarter 2025

Net charge-offs of $138 million, or 39 basis points of average loans and leases compares with 58 basis points for first quarter 2025. This reflects a decrease in retail, given charge-offs associated with a loan sale in first quarter 2025, and a decrease in commercial real estate.
Provision for credit losses of $140 million decreased compared with a $153 million provision in first quarter 2025 reflecting the runoff of the Non-Core portfolio and improving credit trends and loan mix.
Allowance for credit losses of $2.2 billion decreased $27 million compared with March 31, 2025 given the benefit of the sale of Non-Core education loans, continued Non-Core runoff and other improvements in loan mix. Allowance for credit losses ratio of 1.52% as of March 31, 2026 compares with 1.61% as of March 31, 2025.

2 Forward-looking statements and use of non-GAAP financial measures This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward- looking statement. These statements often include the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "goals," "targets," "initiatives," "potentially," "probably," "projects," "outlook," "guidance" or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as "may," "will," "likely," "should," "would," and "could." Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management, and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: • Negative economic, business and political conditions, including as a result of the interest rate environment, supply chain disruptions, tariffs, inflationary pressures, and labor shortages that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence, and spending habits; • The general state of the economy and employment, as well as general business and economic conditions, and changes in the competitive environment; • Our capital and liquidity requirements under regulatory standards and our ability to generate capital and liquidity on favorable terms; • The effect of changes in our credit ratings on our cost of funding, access to capital markets, ability to market our securities, and overall liquidity position; • The effect of changes in the level of commercial and consumer deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin; • Our ability to achieve our financial performance goals and execute on our strategic business initiatives, including the continued expansion of Private Bank and Private Wealth, and our aim to position us as a more innovative, modern, and customer-centric bank; • The effects of geopolitical instability, including the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, on economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures and the interest rate environment, commodity price and foreign exchange rate volatility, and heightened cybersecurity risks; • Our ability to comply with supervisory requirements and expectations as well as new or amended regulations; • Liabilities and business restrictions resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations; • The impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin, mortgage originations, and mortgage servicing rights, as well as on market liquidity, which could affect our funding sources and ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets; • Financial services reform and other current, pending, or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses; • Environmental risks, such as physical or transition risks associated with climate change, and social and governance risks that could adversely affect our reputation, operations, business, and customers; • A failure in, or breach of, our compliance with laws, as well as operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyberattacks; and • Management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks. In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the actual amounts and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, balance sheet growth, market conditions, and regulatory considerations, as well as any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares from, or pay any dividends to, holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or dividends. More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This document contains non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide useful information to investors to understand our results of operations or financial condition. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. The Appendix presents reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Noninterest income was $606 million, up 11% year over year. Growth was driven by higher capital markets fees, which increased $34 million, and wealth fees, which rose $19 million, partly offset by lower mortgage banking revenues versus the prior year.
