10-Q
Cullen/Frost Bankers (CFR) posted solid YoY earnings growth for Q2-25. Net income rose 7.9% to $157.0 mm, driving diluted EPS to $2.39 versus $2.21. Net interest income advanced 8.3% to $429.6 mm as interest expense fell 13.6% to $172.4 mm, offsetting modest loan growth (+2.4% since 12-24 to $21.25 bn) and a 12 bp increase in the credit-loss provision to $13.1 mm. Non-interest income improved 5.5% to $117.3 mm on higher trust, service-charge and insurance fees.
Balance-sheet trends were mixed. Total assets slipped 2.1% since year-end to $51.4 bn, driven by a $3.1 bn draw-down in cash and deposits as excess liquidity was redeployed into AFS securities (+$1.6 bn). Deposits declined 2.4% to $41.68 bn, while repurchase agreements edged up to $4.42 bn. Shareholders’ equity strengthened 7.8% to $4.20 bn as retained earnings grew and AOCI improved by $111.5 mm; nonetheless, unrealized losses on AFS securities remain sizeable at $1.45 bn. The allowance for credit losses on loans stands at 1.31% of loans ($277.8 mm).
Operating efficiency tightened. Non-interest expense increased 9.5% YoY to $347.1 mm, led by wage, technology and benefit costs, pressuring the expense ratio. YTD cash flow was negative $3.1 bn, reflecting heavy securities purchases ($8.3 bn) and a $1.0 bn deposit outflow, partly funded by sale maturities and repo growth. CFR paid $1.00/sh common dividend in Q2 and $1.95/sh YTD, plus $3.3 mm preferred dividends.
Cullen/Frost Bankers (CFR) ha registrato una solida crescita degli utili su base annua nel secondo trimestre del 2025. L'utile netto è aumentato del 7,9% raggiungendo 157,0 milioni di dollari, portando l'utile per azione diluito a 2,39 dollari rispetto a 2,21 dollari. Il reddito netto da interessi è cresciuto dell'8,3% a 429,6 milioni di dollari grazie a una riduzione del costo degli interessi del 13,6% a 172,4 milioni di dollari, compensando una modesta crescita dei prestiti (+2,4% dal 12-24 a 21,25 miliardi di dollari) e un aumento di 12 punti base della riserva per perdite su crediti a 13,1 milioni di dollari. Il reddito non da interessi è migliorato del 5,5% a 117,3 milioni di dollari grazie a commissioni più elevate per trust, servizi e assicurazioni.
Le tendenze del bilancio sono state contrastanti. Gli attivi totali sono diminuiti del 2,1% rispetto alla fine dell'anno a 51,4 miliardi di dollari, principalmente a causa di un prelievo di 3,1 miliardi in contanti e depositi, mentre la liquidità in eccesso è stata reinvestita in titoli disponibili per la vendita (+1,6 miliardi). I depositi sono calati del 2,4% a 41,68 miliardi di dollari, mentre i contratti di riacquisto sono leggermente aumentati a 4,42 miliardi. Il patrimonio netto degli azionisti è cresciuto del 7,8% a 4,20 miliardi grazie all'incremento degli utili trattenuti e a un miglioramento dell'AOCI di 111,5 milioni; tuttavia, le perdite non realizzate sui titoli disponibili per la vendita restano elevate a 1,45 miliardi. L'accantonamento per perdite su crediti sui prestiti è pari all'1,31% dei prestiti (277,8 milioni).
L'efficienza operativa è migliorata. Le spese non da interessi sono aumentate del 9,5% su base annua a 347,1 milioni, principalmente per salari, tecnologia e benefici, esercitando pressione sul rapporto di spesa. Il flusso di cassa da inizio anno è stato negativo per 3,1 miliardi, riflettendo consistenti acquisti di titoli (8,3 miliardi) e un deflusso di depositi di 1,0 miliardo, parzialmente finanziati da scadenze di vendite e crescita dei repo. CFR ha distribuito un dividendo ordinario di 1,00 dollaro per azione nel secondo trimestre e 1,95 dollari per azione da inizio anno, oltre a 3,3 milioni di dollari di dividendi preferenziali.
Cullen/Frost Bankers (CFR) reportó un sólido crecimiento interanual de ganancias en el segundo trimestre de 2025. El ingreso neto aumentó un 7,9% hasta 157,0 millones de dólares, impulsando las ganancias diluidas por acción a 2,39 dólares frente a 2,21 dólares. Los ingresos netos por intereses crecieron un 8,3% hasta 429,6 millones de dólares debido a una reducción del gasto por intereses del 13,6% a 172,4 millones, compensando un modesto crecimiento en préstamos (+2,4% desde 12-24 a 21,25 mil millones) y un aumento de 12 puntos básicos en la provisión para pérdidas crediticias a 13,1 millones. Los ingresos no relacionados con intereses mejoraron un 5,5% hasta 117,3 millones por mayores comisiones de fideicomisos, cargos por servicios y seguros.
Las tendencias del balance fueron mixtas. Los activos totales disminuyeron un 2,1% desde fin de año hasta 51,4 mil millones, impulsado por un retiro de 3,1 mil millones en efectivo y depósitos, mientras que la liquidez excedente se reasignó a valores disponibles para la venta (+1,6 mil millones). Los depósitos bajaron un 2,4% a 41,68 mil millones, mientras que los acuerdos de recompra aumentaron ligeramente a 4,42 mil millones. El patrimonio de los accionistas se fortaleció un 7,8% hasta 4,20 mil millones debido al crecimiento de las ganancias retenidas y una mejora en el AOCI de 111,5 millones; no obstante, las pérdidas no realizadas en valores disponibles para la venta siguen siendo significativas en 1,45 mil millones. La provisión para pérdidas crediticias sobre préstamos se mantiene en 1,31% de los préstamos (277,8 millones).
La eficiencia operativa se ajustó. Los gastos no relacionados con intereses aumentaron un 9,5% interanual hasta 347,1 millones, impulsados por costos de salarios, tecnología y beneficios, presionando la ratio de gastos. El flujo de caja acumulado fue negativo en 3,1 mil millones, reflejando fuertes compras de valores (8,3 mil millones) y una salida de depósitos de 1,0 mil millones, parcialmente financiada por vencimientos de ventas y crecimiento en repos. CFR pagó un dividendo común de 1,00 dólar por acción en el segundo trimestre y 1,95 dólares por acción en lo que va del año, además de 3,3 millones en dividendos preferentes.
Cullen/Frost Bankers(CFR)는 2025년 2분기에 전년 대비 견고한 수익 성장을 기록했습니다. 순이익은 7.9% 증가한 1억 5,700만 달러를 기록했으며, 희석 주당순이익은 2.21달러에서 2.39달러로 상승했습니다. 순이자수익은 8.3% 증가한 4억 2,960만 달러였으며, 이자 비용은 13.6% 감소한 1억 7,240만 달러로 줄어들어, 대출이 2.4% 증가해 212억 5천만 달러에 이르고 신용손실충당금이 12bp 증가해 1,310만 달러에 달한 점을 상쇄했습니다. 비이자수익은 신탁, 서비스 수수료 및 보험료 증가로 5.5% 상승한 1억 1,730만 달러를 기록했습니다.
대차대조표 동향은 혼재되었습니다. 총자산은 연말 대비 2.1% 감소한 514억 달러였으며, 현금 및 예금에서 31억 달러가 인출되고 초과 유동성이 매도가능증권(AFS)으로 재배치되어 16억 달러 증가했습니다. 예금은 2.4% 감소한 416억 8천만 달러였고, 환매조건부채권은 소폭 증가해 44억 2천만 달러가 되었습니다. 주주 자본은 이익잉여금 증가와 기타포괄손익누계액(AOCI)이 1억 1,150만 달러 개선되면서 7.8% 증가한 42억 달러를 기록했으나, 매도가능증권에서 발생한 미실현 손실은 여전히 14억 5천만 달러로 상당한 수준입니다. 대출에 대한 신용손실충당금은 대출액의 1.31%(2억 7,780만 달러)입니다.
운영 효율성은 개선되었습니다. 비이자 비용은 임금, 기술 및 복리후생 비용 증가로 인해 전년 대비 9.5% 증가한 3억 4,710만 달러로, 비용 비율에 부담을 주었습니다. 올해 누적 현금 흐름은 증권 매입(83억 달러)과 10억 달러의 예금 유출로 인해 31억 달러의 순유출을 기록했으며, 일부는 만기 매각과 환매조건부채권 증가로 충당되었습니다. CFR은 2분기에 주당 1.00달러의 보통주 배당금을 지급했으며, 연초부터는 주당 1.95달러, 우선주 배당금으로는 330만 달러를 지급했습니다.

Le revenu net a augmenté de 7,9 % pour atteindre 157,0 millions de dollars, portant le BPA dilué à 2,39 dollars contre 2,21 dollars. Le produit net d'intérêts a progressé de 8,3 % à 429,6 millions de dollars, les charges d'intérêts ayant diminué de 13,6 % à 172,4 millions, compensant une croissance modeste des prêts (+2,4 % depuis 12-24 à 21,25 milliards) et une hausse de 12 points de base de la provision pour pertes sur crédits à 13,1 millions. Les revenus hors intérêts ont augmenté de 5,5 % à 117,3 millions grâce à des frais plus élevés liés aux trusts, aux services et aux assurances.
Les tendances du bilan étaient mitigées. Le total des actifs a diminué de 2,1 % depuis la fin d'année, atteignant 51,4 milliards, en raison d'un retrait de 3,1 milliards en liquidités et dépôts, la liquidité excédentaire ayant été réinvestie dans des titres disponibles à la vente (+1,6 milliard). Les dépôts ont baissé de 2,4 % à 41,68 milliards, tandis que les accords de pension livrée ont légèrement augmenté à 4,42 milliards. Les capitaux propres se sont renforcés de 7,8 % à 4,20 milliards grâce à la croissance des bénéfices non distribués et à une amélioration de l'AOCI de 111,5 millions ; néanmoins, les pertes latentes sur titres disponibles à la vente restent importantes à 1,45 milliard. La provision pour pertes sur prêts s'élève à 1,31 % des prêts (277,8 millions).
L'efficacité opérationnelle s'est améliorée. Les charges hors intérêts ont augmenté de 9,5 % sur un an à 347,1 millions, principalement en raison des coûts salariaux, technologiques et des avantages sociaux, ce qui a pesé sur le ratio de dépenses. Le flux de trésorerie cumulé est négatif de 3,1 milliards, reflétant d'importants achats de titres (8,3 milliards) et une sortie de dépôts de 1,0 milliard, partiellement financés par des échéances de ventes et la croissance des pensions livrées. CFR a versé un dividende ordinaire de 1,00 dollar par action au deuxième trimestre et de 1,95 dollar par action depuis le début de l'année, ainsi que 3,3 millions de dividendes préférentiels.
Cullen/Frost Bankers (CFR) verzeichnete im zweiten Quartal 2025 ein solides jährliches Gewinnwachstum. Der Nettogewinn stieg um 7,9 % auf 157,0 Mio. USD, was zu einem verwässerten Ergebnis je Aktie von 2,39 USD gegenüber 2,21 USD führte. Die Nettozinserträge erhöhten sich um 8,3 % auf 429,6 Mio. USD, da die Zinsaufwendungen um 13,6 % auf 172,4 Mio. USD sanken. Dies kompensierte ein moderates Kreditwachstum (+2,4 % seit 12-24 auf 21,25 Mrd. USD) und eine um 12 Basispunkte erhöhte Kreditrisikovorsorge auf 13,1 Mio. USD. Die nicht zinserträge verbesserten sich um 5,5 % auf 117,3 Mio. USD durch höhere Gebühren für Treuhanddienste, Servicegebühren und Versicherungen.
Die Bilanzentwicklung war gemischt. Die Gesamtaktiva sanken seit Jahresende um 2,1 % auf 51,4 Mrd. USD, bedingt durch eine Abnahme von 3,1 Mrd. USD bei Bargeld und Einlagen, da überschüssige Liquidität in verfügbare Wertpapiere für den Verkauf (AFS) umgeschichtet wurde (+1,6 Mrd. USD). Die Einlagen verringerten sich um 2,4 % auf 41,68 Mrd. USD, während Rückkaufvereinbarungen leicht auf 4,42 Mrd. USD anstiegen. Das Eigenkapital der Aktionäre stieg um 7,8 % auf 4,20 Mrd. USD, da einbehaltene Gewinne zunahmen und das sonstige Ergebnis (AOCI) sich um 111,5 Mio. USD verbesserte. Dennoch bleiben unrealisierte Verluste aus AFS-Wertpapieren mit 1,45 Mrd. USD beträchtlich. Die Kreditrisikovorsorge für Darlehen beträgt 1,31 % der Darlehen (277,8 Mio. USD).
Die operative Effizienz verbesserte sich. Die Aufwendungen ohne Zinsen stiegen im Jahresvergleich um 9,5 % auf 347,1 Mio. USD, hauptsächlich bedingt durch Lohn-, Technologie- und Sozialleistungskosten, was die Kostenquote belastete. Der kumulierte Cashflow war mit -3,1 Mrd. USD negativ, was auf hohe Wertpapierkäufe (8,3 Mrd. USD) und einen Abfluss von Einlagen in Höhe von 1,0 Mrd. USD zurückzuführen ist, teilweise finanziert durch Verkaufsläufeiten und Repo-Wachstum. CFR zahlte im zweiten Quartal eine Dividende von 1,00 USD je Stammaktie und 1,95 USD je Aktie seit Jahresbeginn sowie 3,3 Mio. USD an Vorzugsdividenden.
Positive
- EPS increased 8% YoY to $2.39, reflecting improved profitability.
- Net interest income grew 8.3% as funding costs declined.
- Credit loss expense fell $2.7 mm YoY, indicating stable asset quality.
- Shareholders’ equity rose 7.8% since 12-24, strengthening capital.
- Accumulated OCI improved by $112 mm, reducing unrealized loss drag.
Negative
- Total deposits contracted 2.4% ($1.0 bn) since year-end, pressuring funding.
- Cash & equivalents dropped $3.1 bn (-30%), lowering on-hand liquidity.
- Non-interest expense climbed 9.5%, outpacing revenue growth.
- AFS portfolio still holds $1.45 bn unrealized losses (≈35% of equity).
Insights
TL;DR – EPS up 8%, deposits down 2%, credit costs stable; overall mildly positive.
Revenue growth was entirely NII-driven as falling deposit betas cut funding costs. Loan growth remains tepid but credit quality solid; ACL at 1.31% appears adequate. Capital ratios benefit from earnings and smaller OCI drag. Key watch-item is liquidity: cash balances fell 30% and securities duration lengthened, raising sensitivity to further rate moves. Still, 9.8% YTD EPS growth and a 4% dividend yield support valuation.
TL;DR – Liquidity erosion and large AFS losses temper otherwise good results.
Deposit contraction of $1.0 bn and shift into long-dated securities trimmed on-balance-sheet liquidity. Unrealized AFS losses of $1.45 bn (≈35% of equity) remain a significant market-rate risk, though OCI improved this quarter. Rising operating costs (+10%) could pressure future efficiency if revenue normalizes. Credit metrics are benign, but portfolio expansion into CRE and energy should be monitored.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations. Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (“Cullen/Frost”) is a financial holding company and a bank holding company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas that provides, through its subsidiaries, a broad array of products and services throughout numerous Texas markets. The terms “Cullen/Frost,” “the Corporation,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc., and its subsidiaries, when appropriate. In addition to general commercial and consumer banking, other products and services offered include trust and investment management, insurance, brokerage, mutual funds, leasing, treasury management, capital markets advisory and item processing.
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of Cullen/Frost and all other entities in which Cullen/Frost has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and financial reporting policies we follow conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry.
The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 6, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses and the fair values of financial instruments and the status of contingencies are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flow Reporting. Additional cash flow information was as follows:

| Cash paid for interest | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Cash paid for income taxes | |||||||||||
| Significant non-cash transactions: | |||||||||||
| Unsettled securities transactions | |||||||||||
| Right-of-use lease assets obtained in exchange for lessee operating lease liabilities | |||||||||||
Accounting Changes, Reclassifications and Restatements. Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. As noted in our 2024 Form 10-K, we adopted ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” for our annual financial statements in 2024. ASU 2023-07 became effective for interim periods in 2025. See Note 14 - Operating Segments.

All mortgage-backed securities included in the above table were issued by U.S. government agencies and corporations. At June 30, 2025, all of the securities in our available for sale municipal bond portfolio were issued by the State of Texas or political subdivisions or agencies within the State of Texas, of which approximately 69.5 % are either guaranteed by the Texas Permanent School Fund (“PSF”) or have been pre-refunded. Securities with limited marketability, such as stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank, are carried at cost and are reported as other available for sale securities in the table above. The carrying value of available-for-sale securities pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits, repurchase agreements and for other purposes, as required or permitted by law totaled $6.1 billion at June 30, 2025 and $6.2 billion at December 31, 2024. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities totaled $117.2 million at June 30, 2025 and $104.9 million at December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The table below summarizes, as of June 30, 2025, securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, aggregated by type of security and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position.

As of June 30, 2025, no allowance for credit losses has been recognized on available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. This is based upon our analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors related to our available for sale securities and in consideration of our historical credit loss experience and internal forecasts. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Furthermore, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.

Table of Contents
Contractual Maturities. The following table summarizes the maturity distribution schedule of securities held to maturity and securities available for sale as of June 30, 2025. Mortgage-backed securities are included in maturity categories based on their stated maturity date. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Other securities classified as available for sale include stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank, which have no maturity date. These securities have been included in the total column only.

Concentrations of Credit. Most of our lending activity occurs within the State of Texas, including the four largest metropolitan areas of Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, as well as other markets. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. As of June 30, 2025, there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10 % of total loans. At that date, the largest industry concentrations were related to the energy industry, which totaled 6.2 % of total loans, and the automobile dealerships industry, which totaled 5.5 % of total loans. Unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit issued to customers in the energy industry totaled $1.1 billion and $67.3 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025, while unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit issued to customers in the automobile dealership industry totaled $519.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025.
Foreign Loans. We have U.S. dollar denominated loans and commitments to borrowers in Mexico. The outstanding balance of these loans and the unfunded amounts available under these commitments were not

Related Party Loans. In the ordinary course of business, we have granted loans to certain directors, executive officers, and their affiliates (collectively referred to as “related parties”). Such loans totaled $280.8 million at June 30, 2025 and $295.8 million at December 31, 2024.
Accrued Interest Receivable. Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $88.8 million at June 30, 2025 and $86.8 million at December 31, 2024, and is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Federal Home Loan Bank Blanket Pledge. We have executed a blanket pledge and security agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) under which certain qualifying loans are pledged as collateral for any outstanding borrowings under the agreement. Loans pledged under the blanket agreement totaled $19.8 billion at June 30, 2025 and $19.2 billion at December 31, 2024, though no
Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions.
Non-accrual loans, segregated by class of loans, were as follows:

In the table above, loans reported as 2025 originations as of June 30, 2025 were, for the most part, first originated in years prior to 2025 but were renewed in the current year. Had non-accrual loans performed in accordance with their original contract terms, we would have recognized additional interest income, net of tax, of approximately $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and approximately $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty. From time to time, we may modify certain loans to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. In some cases, these modifications may result in new loans. Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may be in the form of a principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or a term extension or a combination thereof, among other things. The period-end balance of loan modifications, segregated by type of modification, to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are set forth in the table below, regardless of whether such modifications resulted in a new loan. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers at June 30, 2025.

Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the weighted-average risk grade of commercial loans, (ii) the level of classified commercial loans, (iii) the delinquency status of consumer loans, (iv) non-performing loans (see details above) and (v) the general economic conditions in the State of Texas.
We utilize a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of our commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 14. A description of the general characteristics of the 14 risk grades is set forth in our 2024 Form 10-K. We monitor portfolio credit quality by the weighted-average risk grade of each class of commercial loan. Individual relationship managers, under the oversight of credit administration, review updated financial information for all pass grade loans to reassess the risk grade on at least an annual basis. When a loan has a risk grade of 9, it is still considered a pass grade loan; however, it is considered to be on management’s “watch list,” where a significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term. When a loan has a risk grade of 10 or higher, a special assets officer monitors the loan on an on-going basis. The following table presents weighted-average risk grades for all commercial loans, by class and year of origination/renewal, as of June 30, 2025.

Note 5 - Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements, Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk. In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions, which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. As more fully discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K, these transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. We minimize our exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.

Allowance For Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which we are exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. No allowance is recognized if we have the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. Off-balance-sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit detailed in the table above. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the contractual life of the commitment. Our allowance methodology is more fully described in our 2024 Form 10-K.

The related lease liabilities totaled $305.5 million at June 30, 2025 and $308.1 million at December 31, 2024, and are reported as a component of accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Lease payments under operating leases that were applied to our operating lease liability totaled $9.4 million and $18.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $8.9 million and $17.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. There has been no significant change in our expected future minimum lease payments since December 31, 2024. See the 2024 Form 10-K for information regarding these commitments.
Note 6 - Capital and Regulatory Matters
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.
Cullen/Frost’s and Frost Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) includes common stock and related paid-in capital, net of treasury stock, and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, we elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in CET1. We also elected to exclude the effects of credit loss accounting under CECL from CET1 for a five-year transitional period, as further discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K. This CECL transitional adjustment totaled $15.4 million at December 31, 2024, after which point the transitional period ended. CET1 is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities. Frost Bank's CET1 is also reduced by its equity investment in its financial subsidiary, Frost Insurance Agency (“FIA”).

Tier 1 capital includes CET1 and additional Tier 1 capital. For Cullen/Frost, additional Tier 1 capital included $145.5 4.450 no 20.0 20.0 million at June 30, 2025 and $40.0 million at December 31, 2024, and trust preferred securities totaling $120.0
The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, for Cullen/Frost and Frost Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. Capital levels required to be considered well-capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

(1)“Well-capitalized” minimum Common Equity Tier 1 to Risk-Weighted Assets and Leverage Ratio are not formally defined under applicable banking regulations for bank holding companies.
As of June 30, 2025, capital levels at Cullen/Frost and Frost Bank exceed all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules. Based on the ratios presented above, capital levels as of June 30, 2025, at Cullen/Frost and Frost Bank exceed the minimum levels necessary to be considered “well-capitalized.”
Cullen/Frost and Frost Bank are subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve Board and, for Frost Bank, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if Cullen/Frost or Frost Bank fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Management believes, as of June 30, 2025, that Cullen/Frost and Frost Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Preferred Stock. Outstanding preferred stock includes 150,000 shares, or $150.0 million in aggregate liquidation preference, of our 4.450 0.01 and liquidation preference $1,000 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding is represented by 40 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of the Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to a liquidation preference of $25 per share). The Series B Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for the purposes of the regulatory capital calculations. The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, after deducting $4.5 million of issuance costs including the underwriting discount and professional service fees, among other things, were approximately $145.5 million. Refer to our 2024 Form 10-K for additional details related to our Series B Preferred Stock.
Stock Repurchase Plans. From time to time, our board of directors has authorized stock repurchase plans. The purpose of such plans and the manner in which shares are repurchased is discussed in more detail in our 2024 Form 10-K. Most recently, on January 29, 2025, our board of directors authorized a $150.0 million stock repurchase program (the “2025 Repurchase Plan”), allowing us to repurchase shares of our common stock over a one-year period expiring on January 28, 2026. The 2025 Repurchase Plan was publicly announced in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 30, 2025. No
Dividend Restrictions. In the ordinary course of business, Cullen/Frost is dependent upon dividends from Frost Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders and to provide for other cash requirements, including to repurchase its common stock. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of Frost Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years. Under the foregoing dividend restrictions and while maintaining its “well-capitalized” status, at June 30, 2025, Frost Bank could pay aggregate dividends of up to $826.9 million to Cullen/Frost without prior regulatory approval.
Under the terms of the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures that Cullen/Frost has issued to Cullen/Frost Capital Trust II, Cullen/Frost has the right at any time during the term of the debentures to defer the payment of interest at any time or from time to time for an extension period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly periods with respect to each extension period. In the event that we have elected to defer interest on the debentures, we may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay any dividends or distributions on our capital stock or purchase or acquire any of our capital stock.
Under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, in the event that we do not declare and pay dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for the most recent dividend period, we may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay dividends on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, shares of our common stock or any of our securities that rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock.
Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and in the net change in each of these financial statement line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
Interest Rate Derivatives. We utilize interest rate swaps, caps and floors to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk and to facilitate the needs of our customers. Our objectives for utilizing our currently outstanding derivative positions are described below:
We have entered into certain interest rate derivative contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to accommodate the business needs of our customers. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with a third-party financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, we agree to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay a third-party financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows our customer to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because we act as an intermediary for our customers, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts largely offset each other and do not significantly impact our results of operations.

Table of Contents
The notional amounts and estimated fair values of interest rate derivative contracts outstanding are presented in the following table. The fair values of these contracts are estimated utilizing internal valuation methods with observable market data inputs, or as determined by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) for centrally cleared derivative contracts. CME rules legally characterize variation margin payments for centrally cleared derivatives as settlements of the derivatives' exposure rather than collateral. As a result, the variation margin payment and the related derivative instruments are considered a single unit of account for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Variation margin, as determined by the CME, is settled daily. As a result, derivative contracts that clear through the CME have an estimated fair value of zero

Commodity Derivatives. We enter into certain commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to accommodate the business needs of our customers. Upon the origination of a commodity derivative contract with a customer, we simultaneously enter into an offsetting contract with a third-party financial institution to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. Because we act as an intermediary for our customers, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts largely offset each other and do not significantly impact our results of operations.

Note 8 - Balance Sheet Offsetting and Repurchase Agreements
Balance Sheet Offsetting. Certain financial instruments, including resell and repurchase agreements and derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. Our derivative transactions with upstream financial institution counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. Nonetheless, we do not generally offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.
Information about financial instruments that are eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, is presented in the following tables.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for all awards. All stock option awards currently outstanding are fully vested and the service period for such awards generally matched the vesting period in most cases. The service period for non-vested stock units does not extend past the date the participant reaches 65 years of age. Deferred stock units granted to non-employee directors generally have immediate vesting and the related expense is fully recognized on the date of grant. For performance stock units, the service period generally matches the three-year performance period specified by the award, however, the service period does not extend past the date the participant reaches 65 years of age. Expense recognized each period is dependent upon our estimate of the number of shares that will ultimately be issued.
Stock-based compensation expense or benefit and the related income tax benefit is presented in the following table. The service period for performance stock units granted each year begins on January 1 of the following year.

Our chief executive officer is our chief operating decision maker. We use a match-funded transfer pricing process to allocate costs, capital and resources to each operating segment. The process helps us to (i) identify the cost or opportunity value of funds within each business segment, (ii) measure the profitability of a particular business segment by relating appropriate costs to revenues, (iii) evaluate each business segment in a manner consistent with its economic impact on consolidated earnings, and (iv) enhance asset and liability pricing decisions. Our chief executive officer reviews actual net income versus budgeted net income to assess segment performance on a monthly basis and to make decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. Financial results by operating segment, including significant expense categories provided to the chief operating decision maker, are detailed below.

Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. See our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy and a description of our valuation techniques.
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The tables below summarize financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy of ASC Topic 820 utilized to measure fair value.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods include certain collateral dependent loans reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that Could Affect Future Results
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”), notwithstanding that such statements are not specifically identified as such. In addition, certain statements may be contained in our future filings with the SEC, in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by us or with our approval that are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, the payment or nonpayment of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; (ii) statements of plans, objectives and expectations of Cullen/Frost or its management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products, services or operations; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” “continue,” “remain,” “will,” “should,” “may,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
•The effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies.
•Inflation, interest rate, securities market, and monetary fluctuations.
•Local, regional, national, and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact.
•Changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers.
•Changes in the mix of loan geographies, sectors and types or the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs.
•Changes in estimates of future credit loss reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements.
•Changes in our liquidity position.
•Impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets.
•The timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users.
•Changes in consumer spending, borrowing, and saving habits.
•Greater than expected costs or difficulties related to the integration of new products and lines of business.
•Technological changes.
•The cost and effects of cyber incidents or other failures, interruptions, or security breaches of our systems or those of our customers or third-party providers.
•Acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses.
•Changes in the reliability of our vendors, internal control systems or information systems.
•Our ability to increase market share and control expenses.
•Our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.
•Changes in our organization, compensation, and benefit plans.
•The soundness of other financial institutions.
•Volatility and disruption in national and international financial and commodity markets.
•Changes in the competitive environment in our markets and among banking organizations and other financial service providers.
•Government intervention in the U.S. financial system.
•Political or economic instability.
•Acts of God or of war or terrorism.

•The potential impact of climate change.
•The impact of pandemics, epidemics, or any other health-related crisis.
•The costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, the results of regulatory examinations or reviews and the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals.
•The effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance) and their application with which we and our subsidiaries must comply.
•The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.
•Our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items.
In addition, financial markets, international relations, and global supply chains have been significantly impacted by recent U.S. trade policies and practices. Due to the rapidly evolving and changing state of U.S. trade policies, the amount and duration of any tariffs and their ultimate impact on us, our customers, financial markets, and the overall U.S. and global economies is currently uncertain. Nonetheless, prolonged uncertainty, elevated tariff levels or their wide-spread use in U.S. trade policy could weaken economic conditions and adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of collateral securing these loans or adversely affect financial markets. To the extent that these risks may have a negative impact on the financial condition of borrowers or financial markets, it could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
We follow accounting and reporting policies that conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While we base estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We consider accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on our financial statements.
Accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses on financial instruments including loans and off-balance-sheet credit exposures are considered to be critical as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. In the case of loans, the allowance for credit losses is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected. In the case of off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the allowance for credit losses is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, reported as a component of accrued interest payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The amount of each allowance account represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on these financial instruments considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing exposure to credit loss over the contractual term of the instrument. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions, or other relevant factors. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of our allowance accounts is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our portfolios, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward classification of assets. Refer to the 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding critical accounting policies.

Overview
A discussion of our results of operations is presented below. Certain reclassifications have been made to make prior periods comparable. Taxable-equivalent adjustments are the result of increasing income from tax-free loans and investments by an amount equal to the taxes that would be paid if the income were fully taxable based on a 21% federal tax rate, thus making tax-exempt yields comparable to taxable asset yields.
Results of Operations
Net income available to common shareholders totaled $155.3 million, or $2.39 per diluted common share, and $304.6 million, or $4.69 per diluted common share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $143.8 million, or $2.21 per diluted common share, and $277.9 million, or $4.27 per diluted common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of a $32.9 million increase in net interest income, a $6.1 million increase in non-interest income, and a $2.7 million decrease in credit loss expense partly offset by a $30.2 million increase in non-interest expense. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of a $59.1 million increase in net interest income, a $18.7 million increase in non-interest income, and a $3.2 million decrease in credit loss expense partly offset by a $52.0 million increase in non-interest expense and a $2.3 million increase in income tax expense.
Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

Table of Contents
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is our largest source of revenue, representing 77.8% of total revenue during the first six months of 2025. Net interest margin is the ratio of taxable-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin.
The Federal Reserve influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 40.6% of our loans had a fixed interest rate, while the remaining loans had floating interest rates that were primarily tied to a benchmark developed by the American Financial Exchange, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (approximately 34.6%); the prime interest rate (approximately 20.8%); or the American Interbank Offered Rate (“AMERIBOR”) (approximately 3.9%). Certain other loans are tied to other indices; however, such loans do not make up a significant portion of our loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, the target range for the federal funds rate was 4.25% to 4.50% In June 2025, the Federal Reserve released projections whereby the midpoint of the projected appropriate target range for the federal funds rate would fall to 3.9% by the end of 2025 and subsequently decrease to 3.6% by the end of 2026. While there can be no such assurance that any such decreases in the federal funds rate will occur, these projections imply up to a 50 basis point decrease in the federal funds rate during 2025, followed by a 25 basis point decrease in 2026.
We are primarily funded by core deposits, with non-interest-bearing demand deposits historically being a significant source of funds. This lower-cost funding base is expected to have a positive impact on our net interest income and net interest margin, particularly in rising or high interest rate environments. Nonetheless, our access to and pricing of deposits may be negatively impacted by, among other factors, periods of higher interest rates which could promote increased competition for deposits, including from new financial technology competitors, or provide customers with alternative investment options. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk elsewhere in this report for information about our sensitivity to increases and decreases in interest rates. Further analysis of the components of our net interest margin is presented below.

The following table presents the changes in taxable-equivalent net interest income and identifies the changes due to differences in the average volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the changes due to changes in the average interest rate on those assets and liabilities. The changes in net interest income due to changes in both average volume and average interest rate have been allocated to the average volume change or the average interest rate change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each. The comparison between the quarters includes an additional change factor that shows the effect of the difference in the number of days in each period for assets and liabilities that accrue interest based upon the actual number of days in the period, as further discussed below.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $32.9 million, or 7.9%, while taxable-equivalent net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $58.0 million, or 7.0%, compared to the same periods in 2024. Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, included 181 days

compared to 182 for the same period in 2024 as a result of the leap year. The additional day added approximately $3.0 million to taxable-equivalent net interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of the additional day in 2024 results in an effective increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income of approximately $60.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to decreases in the average costs of interest-bearing deposit accounts and repurchase agreements combined with increases in the average yields on and volumes of taxable and, to a lesser extent, tax-exempt securities and an increase in the average volume of loans, among other things. The impact of these items was partly offset by decreases in the average yield on and volume of interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve), a decrease in average yield on loans, and increases in the average volumes of interest-bearing deposit accounts and repurchase agreements, among other things.
The increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to decreases in the average costs of interest-bearing deposit accounts and repurchase agreements combined with an increase in the average volume of loans, increases in the average yield on and volume of taxable securities, and an increase in the average yield on tax-exempt securities, among other things. The impact of these items was partly offset by decreases in the average yield on and volume of interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve), a decrease in average yield on loans, and decreases in the average volumes of tax-exempt securities and resell agreements, among other things, combined with increases in the average volumes of interest-bearing deposit accounts and repurchase agreements, among other things.
As a result of the aforementioned fluctuations, the taxable-equivalent net interest margin increased 13 basis points from 3.54% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.67% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 while the taxable-equivalent net interest margin increased 12 basis points from 3.51% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.63% during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The average volume of interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $2.1 billion while the average volume of interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $1.8 billion compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase in the average volume of interest-earning assets during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to a $1.7 billion increase in average taxable securities, a $1.4 billion increase in average loans, and a $32.7 million increase in average tax-exempt securities, partly offset by a $986.3 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve), and a $61.9 million decrease in average resell agreements. The average taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets decreased 16 basis points from 5.23% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.07% during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase in the average volume of interest-earning assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to a $1.5 billion increase in average loans and a $1.1 billion increase in average taxable securities, partly offset by a $555.1 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve), a $140.5 million decrease in average tax-exempt securities, and a $68.4 million decrease in average resell agreements. The average taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets decreased 15 basis points from 5.18% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.03% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average taxable-equivalent yields on interest-earning assets during comparable periods were impacted by changes in market interest rates (as noted in the table above) and changes in the volumes and relative mixes of interest-earning assets.
The average taxable-equivalent yield on loans decreased 48 basis points from 7.08% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 6.60% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 while the average taxable-equivalent yield on loans decreased 46 basis points from 7.04% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 6.58% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average taxable-equivalent yields on loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were impacted by decreases in market interest rates (as noted in the table above). The average volume of loans for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $1.4 billion, or 7.2%, while the average volume of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $1.5 billion, or 8.0%, compared to the same period in 2024. Loans made up approximately 44.2% and 44.0% of average interest-earning assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 43.2% and 42.4% during the same respective periods in 2024. The increases were primarily related to the use of available funds to originate loans.
The average taxable-equivalent yield on securities was 3.79% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, increasing 41 basis points from 3.38% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 while the average taxable-equivalent yield on securities was 3.71% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, increasing 36 basis points from 3.35% during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average yield on taxable securities was 3.48% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, increasing 56 basis points from 2.92% during the same period in 2024 while the average yield on taxable securities was 3.38% during the six

months ended June 30, 2025, increasing 50 basis points from 2.88% during the same period in 2024. The average taxable-equivalent yield on tax-exempt securities was 4.48% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, increasing 18 basis points from 4.30% during the same period in 2024 while the average taxable-equivalent yield on tax-exempt securities was 4.43% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, increasing 14 basis points from 4.29% during the same period in 2024.
Tax-exempt securities made up approximately 32.5% and 33.0% of total average securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 35.5% and 35.4% during the same respective periods in 2024. The average volume of total securities during the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $1.8 billion, or 9.5%, compared to the same period in 2024 while the average volume of total securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $918.8 million, or 4.8%, compared to the same period in 2024. Securities made up approximately 42.8% and 41.9% of average interest-earning assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 40.9% and 41.5% during the same respective periods in 2024.
Average interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $986.3 million, or 13.8%, compared to the same period in 2024 while average interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $555.1 million, or 7.7%, compared to the same period in 2024. Interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve) made up approximately 12.9% and 14.1% of average interest-earning assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 15.7% and 15.9% during the same respective periods in 2024. The decreases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to the reinvestment of amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve into securities and loans. The average yields on interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve) were 4.41% and 4.40% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 5.40% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The average yields on interest-bearing deposits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were impacted by lower average interest rates paid on reserves held at the Federal Reserve, compared to the same periods in 2024.
The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.12% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreasing 47 basis points from 2.59% during the same period in 2024 while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.12% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreasing 45 basis points from 2.57% during the same period in 2024. Average deposits increased $1.3 billion, or 3.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 and included a $1.1 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a $109.6 million increase in average non-interest-bearing deposits. Average deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 2.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 and included a $1.1 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits partly offset by a $34.2 million decrease in average non-interest-bearing deposits. The ratio of average interest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 67.0% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 66.2% and 66.0% during the same respective periods in 2024. The average cost of deposits is primarily impacted by changes in market interest rates as well as changes in the volume and relative mix of interest-bearing deposits. The average costs of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits were 1.93% and 1.29%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.36% and 1.56%, respectively, during the same period in 2024. The average costs of deposits were impacted by decreases in the interest rates we pay on our interest-bearing deposit products as a result of decreases in market interest rates.
Our net interest spreads, which represent the difference between the average rate earned on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, were 2.95% and 2.91% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.64% and 2.61% during the same respective periods in 2024. Our net interest spreads, as well as our net interest margins, will be impacted by future changes in short-term and long-term interest rate levels, as well as the impact from the competitive environment, including from new financial technology competitors, and the availability of alternative investment options. A discussion of the effects of changing interest rates on net interest income is set forth in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included elsewhere in this report.
Our hedging policies permit the use of various derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, swaptions, caps and floors, to manage exposure to changes in interest rates. Details of our derivatives and hedging activities are set forth in Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Information regarding the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on our derivative financial instruments is set forth in Item 3.

Credit Loss Expense
Credit loss expense is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for credit loss accounts for various types of financial instruments including loans, securities and off-balance-sheet credit exposures after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowances to a level which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb expected credit losses over the lives of the respective financial instruments. The components of credit loss expense were as follows:

Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $6.1 million, or 5.5%, and increased $18.7 million, or 8.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. Changes in the various components of non-interest income are discussed in more detail below.
Trust and Investment Management Fees. Trust and investment management fees increased $2.3 million, or 5.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and increased $6.1 million, or 7.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same respective periods in 2024. Investment management fees are the most significant component of trust and investment management fees, making up approximately 80.9% and 80.6% of total trust and investment management fees for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases in trust and investment management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to increases in investment management fees (up $2.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively) and, to a lesser extent during the six months ended June 30, 2025, estate fees (up $504 thousand), among other things. Investment management fees are generally based on the market value of assets within an account and are thus impacted by volatility in the equity and bond markets. The increases in investment management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to increases in the average values of assets maintained in accounts. The increases in the average values of assets were partly related to higher average equity valuations during 2025 relative to 2024 and growth in the number of accounts. The increase in estate fees during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to an increase in transaction volumes relative to 2024.
At June 30, 2025, trust assets, including both managed assets and custody assets, were primarily composed of equity securities (44.5% of assets), fixed income securities (33.5% of assets), alternative investments (8.7% of assets) and cash equivalents (7.2% of assets). The estimated fair value of these assets was $50.9 billion (including managed assets of $25.8 billion and custody assets of $25.1 billion) at June 30, 2025, compared to $51.4 billion (including managed assets of $26.2 billion and custody assets of $25.2 billion) at December 31, 2024 and $48.9 billion (including managed assets of $24.7 billion and custody assets of $24.3 billion) at June 30, 2024.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $3.0 million, or 11.6%, and increased $6.9 million, or 13.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to increases in overdraft charges on consumer and, to a lesser extent, commercial accounts (up $2.3 million and $285 thousand, respectively), and commercial service charges (up $859 thousand), partly offset by a decrease in consumer service charges (down $370 thousand). The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily related to increases in overdraft charges on consumer and, to a lesser extent, commercial accounts (up $4.1 million and $759 thousand, respectively), and commercial service charges (up $2.7 million), partly offset by a decrease in consumer service charges (down $706 thousand).
Overdraft charges totaled $14.7 million ($11.4 million consumer and $3.3 million commercial) during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $12.1 million ($9.1 million consumer and $3.0 million commercial) during the same period in 2024. Overdraft charges totaled $28.9 million ($22.1 million consumer and $6.8 million commercial) during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $24.0 million ($17.9 million consumer and $6.1 million commercial) during the same period in 2024. The increases in overdraft charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was impacted by increases in the volumes of fee assessed overdrafts relative to 2024, in part due to growth in the number of accounts.

As more fully discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K, in December 2024, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) issued a final rule, which would have been applicable to Frost Bank in October 2025, that modified or eliminated several long-standing exclusions from requirements generally applicable to consumer credit that previously exempted certain overdraft practices from such requirements and required banks to restructure many overdraft fees, overdraft lines of credit, and other overdraft practices as separate consumer credit accounts that have become subject to those requirements. In March and April 2025, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, each adopted a resolution that would nullify the CFPB's overdraft rule. The measure was signed by the President in May 2025.
The increases in commercial service charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were partly related to increases in billable services related to analyzed treasury management accounts combined with the effect of a lower average earnings credit rate applied to deposits maintained by treasury management customers which resulted in customers paying for more of their services through fees rather than with earnings credits applied to their deposit balances. The increases in commercial service charges were also partly related to increases in service fees on non-analyzed accounts.
Insurance Commissions and Fees. Compared to the same respective periods in 2024, insurance commissions and fees for the three months ended June 30, 2025 did not significantly fluctuate while insurance commissions and fees for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $2.7 million, or 8.3%. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of increases in benefit plan commissions (up $1.4 million), life insurance commissions (up $598 thousand), and contingent income (up $469 thousand). The increase in benefit plan commissions was primarily due to an increase in business volumes as well as premium and exposure rate increases within the existing customer base. The increase in life insurance commissions was primarily related to an increase in business volumes.
Contingent income totaled $4.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Contingent income primarily consists of amounts received from various property and casualty insurance carriers related to portfolio growth and the loss performance of insurance policies previously placed. These performance related contingent payments are seasonal in nature and are mostly received during the first quarter of each year. This performance related contingent income totaled $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Performance related contingent income related to commercial lines insurance policies increased due to improved loss performance of commercial lines insurance policies previously placed and growth within the commercial lines portfolio. Contingent income also includes amounts received from various benefit plan insurance companies related to the volume of business generated and/or the subsequent retention of such business. This benefit plan related contingent income totaled $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Interchange and Card Transaction Fees. Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to us and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. Interchange and card transaction fees consist of income from debit and credit card usage, point of sale income from PIN-based card transactions and ATM service fees. Interchange and card transaction fees are reported net of related network costs.
Net interchange and card transaction fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $268 thousand, or 5.0%, and increased $1.2 million, or 12.2%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily due to increases in income from card transactions partly offset by increases in network costs. A comparison of gross and net interchange and card transaction fees for the reported periods is presented in the table below.

Federal Reserve rules applicable to financial institutions that have assets of $10 billion or more provide that the maximum permissible interchange fee for an electronic debit transaction is the sum of 21 cents per transaction and 5 basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. An upward adjustment of no more than 1 cent to an issuer's debit card interchange fee is allowed if the card issuer develops and implements policies and procedures reasonably designed to achieve certain fraud-prevention standards. The Federal Reserve also has rules governing routing and exclusivity that require issuers to offer two unaffiliated networks for routing transactions on each debit or prepaid product. In October 2023, the Federal Reserve issued a proposal under which the maximum permissible interchange fee for an electronic debit transaction would be the sum of 14.4
50
Table of Contents
cents per transaction and 4 basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. Furthermore, the fraud-prevention adjustment would increase from a maximum of 1 cent to 1.3 cents. The proposal would adopt an approach for future adjustments to the interchange fee cap, which would occur every other year based on issuer cost data gathered by the Federal Reserve from large debit card issuers. Had the proposed maximum interchange fees been in effect during the reported periods, interchange and debit card transaction fees would have been approximately 30% lower. The comment period for this proposal ended in May 2024. The extent to which any such proposed changes in permissible interchange fees will impact our future revenues is currently uncertain.
Other Charges, Commissions, and Fees. Other charges, commissions, and fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $947 thousand, or 7.3%, and increased $2.5 million, or 9.9%, compared to the same respective periods in 2024. The increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to increases in income from the placement of annuities (up $555 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively) and commitment fees on unused lines of credit (up $380 thousand and $681 thousand, respectively), among other things.
Net Gain/Loss on Securities Transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold certain available-for-sale securities with amortized costs totaling $40.1 million and realized a net loss of $14 thousand. These sales were primarily related to a municipal tender offer during the first quarter. There were no sales of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Other Non-Interest Income. Other non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $394 thousand, or 3.5%, and decreased $595 thousand, or 2.5%, compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to decreases in sundry and other miscellaneous income (down $559 thousand) and public finance underwriting fees (down $339 thousand), among other things, partly offset by increases in income from customer securities trading and derivatives trading activities (up $378 thousand and $210 thousand, respectively), among other things. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to decreases in public finance underwriting fees (down $3.0 million) and sundry and other miscellaneous income (down $1.3 million), among other things, partly offset by increases in gains on the sale of foreclosed and other assets (up $2.6 million) and income from customer derivatives trading and securities trading activities (up $786 thousand and $478 thousand, respectively), among other things. The fluctuations in public finance underwriting fees and income from customer derivative and securities trading activities during the comparable periods were primarily related to variations in transaction volumes. Gains on the sale of foreclosed and other assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025 included a $2.5 million gain related to the sale of a foreclosed real estate property during the first quarter.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $30.2 million, or 9.5%, and increased $52.0 million, or 8.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. Changes in the various components of non-interest expense are discussed below.
Salaries and Wages. Salaries and wages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $10.9 million, or 7.2%, and increased $23.8 million, or 7.9%, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases in salaries and wages during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to increases in salaries due to annual merit and market increases and increases in the number of employees. The increases in the number of employees were partly related to our investment in organic expansion in various markets. Salaries and wages during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were also impacted, to a lesser extent, by increases in incentive compensation.
Employee Benefits. Employee benefits expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $4.0 million, or 14.0%, and increased $10.2 million, or 15.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to increases in 401(k) plan expense (up $1.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively), medical/dental benefits expense (up $1.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively), and payroll taxes (up $635 thousand and $2.5 million, respectively).
Our defined benefit retirement and restoration plans were frozen in 2001 which has helped to reduce the volatility in retirement plan expense. We nonetheless still have funding obligations related to these plans and could recognize expense related to these plans in future years, which would be dependent on the return earned on plan assets, the level of interest rates and employee turnover. See Note 11 - Defined Benefit Plans for additional information related to our net periodic pension benefit/cost.
Net Occupancy. Net occupancy expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $2.3 million, or 7.0%, and increased $3.8 million, or 5.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to increases in depreciation on buildings and leasehold improvements (together up $679 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively); lease expense (up $663 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively);
51
Table of Contents
and property taxes (up $654 thousand and $854 thousand, respectively), among other things. The increases in the aforementioned components of net occupancy expense were impacted, in part, by our expansion efforts.
Technology, Furniture, and Equipment. Technology, furniture, and equipment expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $4.6 million, or 12.9%, and increased $9.7 million, or 13.7%, compared to the same respective periods in 2024. The increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to increases in cloud services expense (up $2.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively), software maintenance (up $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively), depreciation on furniture and equipment (up $732 thousand and $1.3 million, respectively), and service contracts expense (up $344 thousand and $731 thousand, respectively), among other things.
Deposit Insurance. Deposit insurance expense totaled $6.6 million and $13.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $8.4 million and $23.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Deposit insurance expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included $1.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively, related to additional accruals related to a special deposit insurance assessment. Refer to our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information related to the special deposit insurance assessment. Excluding these special assessments from 2024, deposit insurance expense did not significantly fluctuate during the comparable periods.
Other Non-Interest Expense. Other non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $10.1 million, or 16.8%, and increased $13.9 million, or 11.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2025 included increases in advertising/promotions expense (up $4.2 million); sundry and other miscellaneous expense (up $2.1 million); fraud losses (up $1.1 million); business development expense (up $786 thousand); research and platform fees (up $644 thousand); and travel, meals and entertainment (up $602 thousand), among other things, partly offset by a decrease in check card expenses (down $492 thousand) and professional services expense (down, $315 thousand), among other things. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2025 included increases in advertising/promotions expense (up $3.3 million); sundry and other miscellaneous expense (up $2.3 million); business development expense (up $1.3 million); fraud losses (up $1.3 million); donations expense (up $1.1 million), primarily related to a donation to the Frost Charitable Foundation; research and platform fees (up $1.1 million); professional services expense (up $734 thousand); and travel, meals and entertainment (up $710 thousand), among other things, partly offset by a decrease in check card expenses (down $908 thousand), among other things.
Results of Segment Operations
We are managed under a matrix organizational structure whereby our two primary operating segments, Banking and Frost Wealth Advisors, overlap a regional reporting structure. A third operating segment, Non-Banks, is for the most part the parent holding company, as well as certain other insignificant non-bank subsidiaries of the parent that, for the most part, have little or no activity. A description of each segment, the methodologies used to measure segment financial performance and summarized operating results by segment are described in Note 14 - Operating Segments in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Segment operating results are discussed in more detail below.

The decreases in the net losses during three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily due to decreases in net interest expense due to decreases in the average rates paid on our long-term borrowings, among other things.
Income Taxes
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $29.6 million, for an effective tax rate of 15.9%, compared to $29.7 million, for an effective tax rate of 16.9%, for the same period in 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $57.8 million, for an effective tax rate of 15.8%, compared to $55.5 million, for an effective tax rate of 16.5%, for the same period in 2024. The effective income tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% during 2025 and 2024 primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from securities, loans and life insurance policies and the income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation, among other things, and their relative proportion to total pre-tax net income. The increase in income tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in projected pre-tax net income. The decreases in the effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily related to decreases in projected non-deductible deposit interest expense combined with increases in tax-exempt interest from securities and in tax benefits associated with stock compensation, among other things.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted on July 4, 2025. Among other things, the new law makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). These include provisions which allow businesses to immediately expense, for tax purposes, the cost of new investments in certain qualified depreciable assets and the cost of qualified domestic research and development. The OBBBA also imposes a floor on tax deductions taken on charitable contributions. We do not expect these items to have a significant impact on our financial statements, though we expect that some minor operational changes may be necessary to support new information reporting requirements. The OBBBA also significantly changes U.S. tax law related to foreign operations and certain tax credits; however, such changes do not currently impact us.
Average Balance Sheet
Average assets totaled $51.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 representing an increase of $1.9 billion, or 3.9%, compared to average assets for the same period in 2024. Earning assets increased $1.8 billion, or 4.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in earning assets was primarily related to a $1.5 billion increase in average loans and a $1.1 billion increase in average taxable securities partly offset by a $555.1 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve), a $140.5 million decrease in tax-exempt securities, and a $68.4 million decrease in average resell agreements. Average deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 2.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase included a $1.1 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits partly offset by a $34.2 million decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits. Average non-interest-bearing deposits made up 33.1% and 34.0% of average total deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Loans
Details of our loan portfolio are presented in Note 3 - Loans in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Loans increased $499.7 million, or 2.4%, from $20.8 billion at December 31, 2024 to $21.3 billion at June 30, 2025. The majority of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial loans, energy loans, and real estate loans. Real estate loans include both commercial and consumer balances. Selected details related to our loan portfolio segments are presented below. Refer to our 2024 Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of our loan origination and risk management processes.
Commercial and Industrial. Commercial and industrial loans totaled $6.1 billion at both December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025. Our commercial and industrial loans are a diverse group of loans to small, medium, and large businesses. The purpose of these loans varies from supporting seasonal working capital needs to term financing of equipment. While some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis, most are secured by the assets being financed with collateral margins that are consistent with our loan policy guidelines. The commercial and industrial loan portfolio also includes commercial leases and purchased shared national credits ("SNC"s).
Energy. Energy loans include loans to entities and individuals that are engaged in various energy-related activities including (i) the development and production of oil or natural gas, (ii) providing oil and gas field servicing, (iii) providing energy-related transportation services, (iv) providing equipment to support oil and gas drilling, (v) refining petrochemicals, or (vi) trading oil, gas and related commodities. Energy loans increased $186.3 million, or 16.5%, from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2024 to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2025. Energy loans are one of our largest industry concentrations totaling 6.2% of total loans at June 30, 2025, up from 5.4% of total loans at December 31, 2024. The average loan size, the significance of the portfolio and the specialized nature of the energy industry requires a highly prescriptive underwriting policy. Exceptions to this policy are rarely granted. Due to the large borrowing requirements of this customer base, the energy loan portfolio includes participations and SNCs.
Purchased Shared National Credits. SNCs are participations purchased from upstream financial organizations and tend to be larger in size than our originated portfolio. Our purchased SNC portfolio totaled $867.5 million at June 30, 2025, decreasing $137.4 million, or 13.7%, from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, 31.9% of outstanding purchased SNCs were related to the construction industry while 15.1% were related to the real estate management industry, 11.9% were related to the financial services industry, 10.4% were related to the energy industry, and 10.2% were related to the retail industry. The remaining purchased SNCs were diversified throughout various other industries, with no other single industry exceeding 10% of the total purchased SNC portfolio. SNC participations are originated in the normal course of business to meet the needs of our customers. As a matter of policy, we generally only participate in SNCs for companies headquartered in or which have significant operations within our market areas. In addition, we must have direct access to the company’s management, an existing banking relationship or the expectation of broadening the relationship with other banking products and services within the following 12 to 24 months. SNCs are reviewed at least quarterly for credit quality and business development successes.
Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans increased $125.2 million, or 1.3%, from $10.0 billion at December 31, 2024, to $10.1 billion at June 30, 2025. Commercial real estate loans represented 75.1% and 76.3% of total real estate loans at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The majority of our commercial real estate loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate mortgages, which includes both permanent and intermediate term loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Consequently, these loans must undergo the analysis and underwriting process of a commercial and industrial loan, as well as that of a real estate loan. At June 30, 2025, approximately half of the outstanding principal balance of our commercial real estate loans (excluding construction and land) were secured by owner-occupied properties.
Consumer Real Estate and Other Consumer Loans. The consumer real estate loan portfolio increased $235.9 million, or 7.6%, from $3.1 billion at December 31, 2024 to $3.3 billion at June 30, 2025. Combined, home equity loans and lines of credit made up 58.6% and 58.8% of the consumer real estate loan total at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We offer home equity loans up to 80% of the estimated value of the personal residence of the borrower, less the value of existing mortgages and home improvement loans. We also originate 1-4 family mortgage loans for portfolio investment purposes. Consumer and other loans decreased $7.4 million, or 1.7%, from December 31, 2024. The consumer and other loan portfolio primarily consists of unsecured revolving credit products, secured personal loans, motor vehicle loans, overdrafts, and other similar types of credit facilities.

Accruing past due loans at June 30, 2025 decreased $8.6 million compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to decreases in past due commercial and industrial loans (down $12.4 million ), past due energy loans (down $3.2 million) and past due consumer and other loans (down $2.0 million) partly offset by an increase in past due commercial real estate - buildings, land, and other loans (up $9.0 million). Accruing past due commercial real estate loans - building, land and other at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included $4.4 million and $6.2 million, respectively, related to owner occupied properties and $42.8 million and $32.1 million, respectively, related to non-owner occupied properties.

Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2025 decreased $16.5 million from December 31, 2024 primarily due to decreases in non-accrual commercial and industrial loans and non-accrual commercial real estate - buildings, land, and other loans. Non-accrual commercial real estate loans - building, land and other at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included $11.4 million and $19.8 million, respectively, related to owner occupied properties and $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to non-owner occupied properties.
Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or management deems the collectibility of the principal and/or interest to be in question, as well as when required by regulatory requirements. Once interest accruals are discontinued, accrued but uncollected interest is charged to current year operations. Subsequent receipts on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured. Classification of a loan as non-accrual does not preclude the ultimate collection of loan principal or interest.
Non-accrual commercial and industrial loans included two credit relationships in excess of $5.0 million totaling $17.4 million at June 30, 2025 and $28.7 million at December 31, 2024. One of these credit relationships had unfunded commitments totaling $53.3 million (including $20.9 million available under a revolving line of credit and $32.4 million in outstanding letters of credit) at June 30, 2025 and $46.4 million (including $2.3 million available under a revolving line of credit and $44.1 million in outstanding letters of credit) at December 31, 2024. Non-accrual commercial real estate loans included one credit relationship in excess of $5.0 million totaling $7.5 million at December 31, 2024. The outstanding balance of this credit relationship decreased to $2.9 million at June 30, 2025 as a result of principal payments. Another credit relationship had an aggregate balance of $5.1 million at December 31, 2024 of which $4.6 million was included with non-accrual commercial real estate loans and $586 thousand was included with non-accrual commercial and industrial loans. This credit relationship paid off during the first quarter of 2025 and we recognized $329 thousand as a recovery of prior charge-offs.

Allowance for Credit Losses
In the case of loans and securities, allowances for credit losses are contra-asset valuation accounts, calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, that are deducted from the amortized cost basis of these assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. In the case of off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the allowance for credit losses is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, reported as a component of accrued interest payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The amount of each allowance account represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on these financial instruments considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing exposure to credit loss over the contractual term of the instrument. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions, or other relevant factors. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of our allowance accounts is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our portfolios, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward classification of assets. See our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our accounting policies related to credit losses.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans. The table below provides, as of the dates indicated, an allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan portfolio segment; however, allocation of a portion of the allowance to one segment does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments.

The allowance allocated to commercial and industrial loans totaled $95.5 million, or 1.57% of total commercial and industrial loans, at June 30, 2025 increasing $7.9 million, or 9.0%, compared to $87.6 million, or 1.43% of total commercial and industrial loans, at December 31, 2024. Modeled expected credit losses increased $4.7 million, in part due to a deterioration in forecasted economic conditions, particularly in the second half of 2025, relative to the comparable forecast as of December 31, 2024 (see discussion of the Moody’s Analytics scenarios below). Qualitative factor (“Q-Factor”) and other qualitative adjustments related to commercial and industrial loans increased $1.1 million primarily due to an increase in the model overlay for credit concentrations. Specific allocations for commercial and industrial loans that were evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis increased $2.1 million from $13.3 million at December 31, 2024 to $15.3 million at June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily related to new specific allocations for new individually assessed loans.
The allowance allocated to energy loans totaled $10.4 million, or 0.79% of total energy loans, at June 30, 2025 increasing $397 thousand, or 4.0%, compared to $10.0 million, or 0.89% of total energy loans, at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $419 thousand increase in modeled expected credit losses, which was partly due to an increase in the volume of energy loans. Specific allocations for energy loans that were evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis totaled $2.7 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The allowance allocated to commercial real estate loans totaled $140.9 million, or 1.40% of total commercial real estate loans, at June 30, 2025 decreasing $2.3 million, or 1.6%, compared to $143.2 million, or 1.44% of total commercial real estate loans, at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to a $3.0 million decrease in Q-factor and other qualitative adjustments (primarily related to the office building overlay) partly offset by a $610 thousand increase in specific allocations for commercial real estate loans that were evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis from $625 thousand at December 31, 2024 to $1.2 million at June 30, 2025.

The allowance allocated to consumer real estate loans totaled $21.7 million, or 0.65% of total consumer real estate loans, at June 30, 2025 increasing $2.6 million, or 13.6%, compared to $19.1 million, or 0.62% of total consumer real estate loans, at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily related to an increase in modeled expected credit losses due, in part, to growth within the portfolio.
The allowance allocated to consumer loans totaled $9.3 million, or 2.13% of total consumer loans, at June 30, 2025, decreasing $979 thousand, or 9.5%, compared to $10.3 million, or 2.31% of total consumer loans, at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in modeled expected credit losses, down $812 thousand, in part due to a decrease in the expected loss rate associated with overdrafts.
As more fully described in our 2024 Form 10-K, we measure expected credit losses over the life of each loan utilizing a combination of models which measure probability of default and loss given default, among other things. The measurement of expected credit losses is impacted by loan/borrower attributes and certain macroeconomic variables. Models are adjusted to reflect the current impact of certain macroeconomic variables as well as their expected changes over a reasonable and supportable forecast period.
In estimating expected credit losses as of June 30, 2025, we utilized the Moody’s Analytics June 2025 Baseline Scenario (the “June 2025 Baseline Scenario”) to forecast the macroeconomic variables used in our models. The June 2025 Baseline Scenario is an estimate of the most likely path of the economy through the current business cycle (50% probability that economic conditions will be worse and 50% probability that economic conditions will be better). The June 2025 Baseline Scenario projections included, among other things, (i) U.S. Nominal Gross Domestic Product annualized quarterly growth rate of 2.56% during the remainder of 2025 followed by average annualized quarterly growth rates of 4.30% in 2026 and 3.90% through the end of the forecast period in the second quarter of 2027; (ii) average U.S. unemployment rate of 4.31% during the remainder of 2025 followed by average annualized quarterly rates of 4.68% in 2026 and 4.72% through the end of the forecast period in the second quarter of 2027; (iii) average Texas unemployment rate of 4.23% during the remainder of 2025 followed by average annualized quarterly rates of 4.33% in 2026 and 4.39% through the end of the forecast period in the second quarter of 2027; (iv) projected average 10 year Treasury rate of 4.23% during the remainder of 2025, 4.23% during 2026 and 4.31% through the end of the forecast period in the second quarter of 2027 and (v) average oil price of $63.97 per barrel during the remainder of 2025, $64.57 per barrel in 2026, and $63.38 per barrel through the end of the forecast period in the second quarter of 2027.

In estimating expected credit losses as of December 31, 2024, we utilized the Moody’s Analytics December 2024 Consensus Scenario (the “December 2024 Consensus Scenario”) to forecast the macroeconomic variables used in our models. The December 2024 Consensus Scenario was based on the review of a variety of surveys of baseline forecasts of the U.S. economy. The December 2024 Consensus Scenario projections included, among other things, (i) U.S. Nominal Gross Domestic Product average annualized quarterly growth rates of 3.50% in 2025 and 4.43% in 2026; (ii) average annualized U.S. unemployment rate of 4.36% during 2025 and 4.19% in 2026; (iii) average annualized Texas unemployment rate of 4.21% during 2025 and 3.99% during 2026; (iv) projected average 10 year Treasury rate of 4.23% during 2025 and 4.12% during 2026; and (v) average oil price of $70.88 per barrel during 2025 and $69.96 per barrel during 2026.
The overall loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 increased $499.7 million, or 2.4%, compared to December 31, 2024. This increase included a $235.9 million, or 7.6%, increase in consumer real estate loans; a $186.3 million, or 16.5%, increase in energy loans; and a $125.2 million, or 1.3%, increase in commercial real estate loans. These increases were partly offset by a $40.3 million, or 0.7%, decrease in commercial and industrial loans and a $7.4 million, or 1.7%, decrease in consumer and other loans.
The weighted average risk grade for commercial and industrial loans decreased to 6.45 at June 30, 2025 from 6.64 at December 31, 2024. The decrease was partly related to a decrease in the weighted-average risk grade of pass grade commercial and industrial loans, which decreased to 6.12 at June 30, 2025 from 6.30 at December 31, 2024. The decrease was also partly related to a $32.7 million decrease in higher-risk grade, classified commercial and industrial loans. Classified loans consist of loans having a risk grade of 11, 12 or 13. The weighted-average risk grade for energy loans increased to 5.62 at June 30, 2025 from 5.58 at December 31, 2024. Pass-grade energy loans increased $176.9 million while the weighted-average risk grade of such loans increased from 5.51 at December 31, 2024 to 5.52 at June 30, 2025. The increase in the weighted-average risk grade for energy loans was also partly due to a $7.4 million increase in energy loans graded as “special mention” (risk grade 10) and a $6.1 million increase in classified energy loans. The weighted average risk grade for commercial real estate loans was 7.35 at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as the impact of an increase in the weighted-average risk grade of pass grade loans from 7.07 at December 31, 2024 to 7.09 at June 30, 2025 was offset by the impact of a decrease in classified commercial real estate loans (down $21.7 million).
As noted above, our credit loss models utilized the economic forecasts in the Moody's June 2025 Baseline Scenario for our estimated expected credit losses as of June 30, 2025 and the Moody’s December 2024 Consensus Scenario for our estimate of expected credit losses as of December 31, 2024. We qualitatively adjusted the model results based on these scenarios for various risk factors that are not considered within our modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These qualitative factor, or Q-Factor, adjustments are discussed below.
Q-Factor adjustments are based upon management's judgment and current assessment as to the impact of risks related to changes in lending policies and procedures; economic and business conditions; loan portfolio attributes and credit concentrations; and external factors, among other things, that are not already captured within the modeling inputs, assumptions and other processes. Management assesses the potential impact of such items within a range of severely negative impact to positive impact and adjusts the modeled expected credit loss by an aggregate adjustment percentage based upon the assessment. As a result of this assessment as of June 30, 2025, modeled expected credit losses were adjusted upwards by a weighted-average Q-Factor adjustment of approximately 4.0%, resulting in a $4.1 million total adjustment, compared to 4.1% at December 31, 2024, which resulted in a $3.8 million total adjustment.
We have also provided additional qualitative adjustments, or management overlays, as of June 30, 2025 as management believes there are still significant risks impacting certain categories of our loan portfolio. Q-Factor and other qualitative adjustments as of June 30, 2025 are detailed in the table below.

Model overlays are qualitative adjustments to address the effects of risks not captured within our commercial real estate credit loss models. These adjustments are determined based upon minimum reserve ratios for our commercial real estate loans. In the case of our commercial real estate - owner occupied loan portfolio, we determined a minimum reserve ratio is appropriate to address the effect of the model's over-sensitivity to positive changes in certain economic variables. After analysis and benchmarking against peer bank data, we believe the modeled results may be overly optimistic and not appropriately capturing downside risk. As such, we determined that the appropriate forecasted loss rate for our owner-occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio should be more closely aligned with that of our commercial and industrial loan portfolio. In the case of our commercial real estate - non-owner occupied and commercial real estate - construction loan portfolios, we determined minimum reserve ratios are appropriate as we believe the modeled results are not appropriately capturing the downside risk associated with our borrowers' ability to access the capital markets for the sale or refinancing of investor real estate and assets currently under construction. We believe access to capital may be impaired for a significant amount of time. Accordingly, this would require secondary sources of liquidity and capital to support completed projects that may take considerably longer to stabilize than originally underwritten. Furthermore, most of our non-owner occupied and construction loans are originated with floating interest rates. As a result, these borrowers have been significantly impacted by the most recent cycle of rising interest rates. While there was a slight decrease in market interest rates in the second half of 2024, market expectations for short-term rates now forecast that future reductions will come at a slower pace than previously thought while longer-term rates are increasing as investors have begun to demand term and risk premiums at the long end of the yield curve.
Office building overlays are qualitative adjustments to address longer-term concerns over the utilization of commercial office space which could impact the long-term performance of some types of office properties within our commercial real estate loan portfolio. These adjustments are determined based upon minimum reserve ratios for loans within our commercial real estate - non-owner occupied and commercial real estate - construction loan portfolios that have risk grades of 8 or worse.
The down-side scenario overlay is a qualitative adjustment for our commercial and industrial loan portfolio to address the significant risk of economic recession as a result of inflation; tariffs and other protectionist trade policies; rising interest rates; labor shortages; disruption in financial markets and global supply chains; further oil price volatility; and the current or anticipated impact of global wars/military conflicts, terrorism, or other geopolitical events. Factors such as these are outside of our control but nonetheless affect customer income levels and could alter anticipated customer behavior, including borrowing, repayment, investment, and deposit practices. To determine this qualitative adjustment, we use an alternative, more pessimistic economic scenario to forecast the macroeconomic variables used in our models. As of June 30, 2025, we used the Moody’s Analytics S3 Alternative Scenario Downside - 90th Percentile. In modeling expected credit losses using this scenario, we also assume each non-classified loan within our modeled loan pools is downgraded by one risk grade level. The qualitative adjustment is based upon the amount by which the alternative scenario modeling results exceed those of the primary scenario used in estimating credit loss expense, adjusted based upon management's assessment of the probability that this more pessimistic economic scenario will occur.
Credit concentration overlays are qualitative adjustments based upon statistical analysis to address relationship exposure concentrations within our loan portfolio. Variations in loan portfolio concentrations over time cause expected credit losses within our existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience. Given that the allowance for credit losses on loans reflects expected credit losses within our loan portfolio and the fact that these expected credit losses are uncertain as to nature, timing and amount, management believes that segments with higher concentration risk are more likely to experience a high loss event. Due to the fact that a significant portion of our loan portfolio is concentrated in large credit relationships and because of large, concentrated credit losses in recent years, management made the qualitative adjustments detailed in the table above to address the risk associated with such a relationship deteriorating to a loss event.
The consumer overlay is a qualitative adjustment for our consumer and other loan portfolio to address the risk associated with the level of unsecured loans within this portfolio and other risk factors. Unsecured consumer loans have an elevated risk of loss in times of economic stress as these loans lack a secondary source of repayment in the form of hard collateral. This adjustment was determined by analyzing our consumer loan charge-off trends as well as those of the general banking industry. Management deemed it appropriate to consider an additional overlay to the modeled forecasted losses for the unsecured consumer portfolio.

We recorded a net credit loss expense related to loans totaling $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $27.4 million during the same period in 2024. Net credit loss expense/benefit for each portfolio segment reflects the amount needed to adjust the allowance for credit losses allocated to that segment to the level of expected credit losses determined under our allowance methodology after net charge-offs have been recognized. The net credit loss expense related to loans during the first six months of 2025 primarily reflects an increase in expected credit losses associated with commercial and industrial loans primarily related to increases in modeled expected credit losses, specific allocations and model overlays; an increase in the volume of consumer real estate loans, which resulted in an increase in modeled expected credit losses for such loans; and an increase in the level of charge-offs related to commercial real estate loans. The net credit loss expense related to loans during the first six months of 2025 also reflects recent charge-off trends particularly related to commercial and industrial loans and consumer loans (overdrafts). In 2025, we implemented new tools and enhanced internal procedures that are designed to identify fraudulent activity more accurately and more rapidly than in the past. As a result, we began writing-off deposit accounts that were overdrawn as a result of fraudulent activity directly to fraud expense, which is included in other non-interest expense in the accompanying consolidated income statements, rather than as charge-offs through the allowance for credit losses on loans. No prior period amounts were reclassified in accordance with these new procedures as management determined such amounts were not significant to the prior financial statements.
The ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.31% at June 30, 2025 compared to 1.30% December 31, 2024. Management believes the recorded amount of the allowance for credit losses on loans is appropriate based upon management’s best estimate of current expected credit losses within the existing portfolio of loans. Should any of the factors considered by management in making this estimate change, our estimate of current expected credit losses could also change, which could affect the level of future credit loss expense related to loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures totaled $49.6 million and $51.9 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The level of the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures depends upon the volume of outstanding commitments, underlying risk grades, the expected utilization of available funds and forecasted economic conditions impacting our loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were also impacted by specific allocations related to amounts available under a revolving line of credit and outstanding letters of credit for a commercial and industrial borrower that was evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis. The specific allocations totaled $4.5 million at June 30, 2025 and $4.3 million at December 31, 2024. We also recognized specific allocations for funded loans to this borrower totaling $7.0 million at June 30, 2025 and $7.2 million at December 31, 2024. We recognized a net credit loss benefit related to off-balance-sheet credit exposures totaling $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net credit loss expense of $2.1 million during the same period in 2024. Our policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures are further described in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Capital and Liquidity
Capital. Shareholders’ equity totaled $4.2 billion at June 30, 2025 and $3.9 billion at December 31, 2024. Sources of capital during the six months ended June 30, 2025 included net income of $307.9 million; other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $111.5 million; $8.9 million related to stock-based compensation; and $6.0 million in proceeds from stock option exercises. Uses of capital during the six months ended June 30, 2025 included $129.9 million of dividends paid on preferred and common stock and $2.7 million of treasury stock purchases.
The accumulated other comprehensive income/loss component of shareholders’ equity totaled a net, after-tax, unrealized loss of $1.1 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to a net, after-tax, unrealized loss of $1.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease in the net, after-tax, unrealized loss was primarily due to a $111.0 million net, after-tax, increase in the fair value of securities available for sale.
Under the Basel III Capital Rules, we have elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital. Accordingly, amounts reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss do not increase or reduce regulatory capital and are not included in the calculation of our regulatory capital ratios. In connection with the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, we also elected to exclude, for a transitional period, the effects of credit loss accounting under CECL in the calculation of our regulatory capital and regulatory capital ratios. The transitional period ended on December 31, 2024. Regulatory agencies for banks and bank holding companies utilize capital guidelines designed to measure capital and take into consideration the risk inherent in both on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet items. See Note 6 - Capital and Regulatory Matters in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

We paid a quarterly dividend of $1.00 and $0.95 per common share during the first and second quarters of 2025, respectively, and a quarterly dividend of $0.92 per common share during each of the first and second quarters of 2024. These dividend amounts equate to a common stock dividend payout ratio of 41.6% and 43.0% during the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our ability to declare or pay dividends on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, shares of our capital stock may be impacted by certain restrictions described in Note 6 - Capital and Regulatory Matters in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Stock Repurchase Plans. From time to time, our board of directors has authorized stock repurchase plans. In general, stock repurchase plans allow us to proactively manage our capital position and provide management the ability to repurchase shares of our common stock opportunistically in instances where management believes the market price undervalues our company. Such plans also provide us with the ability to repurchase shares of common stock that can be used to satisfy obligations related to stock compensation awards in order to mitigate the dilutive effect of such awards. For additional details, see Note 6 - Capital and Regulatory Matters in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, each included elsewhere in this report.
Liquidity. As more fully discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K, our liquidity position is continuously monitored, and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management process. We regularly model liquidity stress scenarios to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding problems resulting from economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed problematic by management. These scenarios are incorporated into our contingency funding plan, which provides the basis for the identification of our liquidity needs. Our principal source of funding has been our customer deposits, supplemented by our short-term and long-term borrowings as well as maturities of securities and loan amortization. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $6.3 billion held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve. We also have the ability to borrow funds as a member of the FHLB. As of June 30, 2025, based upon available, pledgeable collateral, our total borrowing capacity with the FHLB was approximately $6.6 billion. Furthermore, at June 30, 2025, we had approximately $9.1 billion in securities that were available to pledge and could be used to support additional borrowings, as needed, through repurchase agreements or the Federal Reserve discount window.
Since Cullen/Frost is a holding company and does not conduct operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends upstreamed from Frost Bank and borrowings from outside sources. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by Frost Bank. See Note 6 - Capital and Regulatory Matters in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report regarding such dividends. At June 30, 2025, Cullen/Frost had liquid assets, primarily consisting of cash on deposit at Frost Bank, totaling $365.3 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned “Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that Could Affect Future Results” included in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.
Refer to the discussion of market risks included in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the 2024 Form 10-K. There has been no significant change in the types of market risks we face since December 31, 2024.
We utilize an earnings simulation model as the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk associated with changing market rates. The model quantifies the effects of various interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income and net income over the next 12 months. The model measures the impact on net interest income relative to a flat-rate case scenario of hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates over the next 12 months. These simulations incorporate assumptions regarding balance sheet growth and mix, pricing and the repricing and maturity characteristics of the existing and projected balance sheet. The impact of interest rate derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, is also included in the model. Other interest rate-related risks such as prepayment, basis and option risk are also considered.
Our model simulations as of June 30, 2025 indicate that our projected balance sheet is slightly less asset sensitive in comparison to our balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. For modeling purposes, as of June 30, 2025, the model simulations projected that 100 and 200 basis point ratable increases in interest rates would result in positive variances in net interest income of 1.2% and 2.4%, respectively, relative to the flat-rate case over the next 12 months, while 100 and 200 basis point ratable decreases in interest rates would result in negative variances in net interest income of 1.0% and 2.2%, respectively, relative to the flat-rate case over the next 12 months. For modeling purposes, as of December 31, 2024, the model simulations projected that 100 and 200 basis point ratable increases in interest rates would result in positive variances in net interest income of 1.5% and 2.8%, respectively, relative to the flat-rate case over the next 12 months, while 100 and 200 basis point ratable decreases in interest rates would result in negative variances in net interest income of 1.1% and 2.2%, respectively, relative to the flat-rate case over the next 12 months.
We do not currently pay interest on a significant portion of our commercial demand deposits. Any interest rate that would ultimately be paid on these commercial demand deposits would likely depend upon a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, model simulations did not assume any payment of interest on commercial demand deposits (those not already receiving an earnings credit). Management believes, based on our experience during the last interest rate cycle, that it is less likely we will pay interest on these deposits as rates increase.
As of June 30, 2025, the effects of a 200 basis point increase and a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates on our derivative holdings would not result in a significant variance in our net interest income.
The effects of hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates on our securities classified as “trading” under ASC Topic 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities,” are not significant, and, as such, separate quantitative disclosure is not presented.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was conducted by management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
