CULLEN/FROST REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Board declares third quarter dividend on common and preferred stock
SAN ANTONIO -- Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (NYSE:CFR) today reported second quarter 2026 results.
Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2026 was $170.4 million, compared to $155.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. On a per-share basis, net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.70 per diluted common share, compared to $2.39 per diluted common share reported a year earlier. Returns on average assets and average common equity were 1.30 percent and 15.41 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 1.22 percent and 15.64 percent, respectively, for the same period a year earlier.
For the second quarter of 2026, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $470.1 million, up 4.3 percent compared to the same quarter in 2025. Average loans for the second quarter of 2026 increased $1.6 billion, or 7.4 percent, to $22.6 billion, from the $21.1 billion reported for the second quarter a year earlier, and increased $610.8 million, or 2.8 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2026. Average deposits for the second quarter increased $859.6 million, or 2.1 percent, to $42.6 billion, compared to the $41.8 billion reported for last year's second quarter, and increased $394.1 million, or 0.9 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2026.
"The second quarter was a period of sustained, solid and balanced growth for our company," said Cullen/Frost Chairman and CEO Phil Green. "During the quarter, we saw acceleration in the growth of non-interest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing deposits, and loans. Our second quarter earnings per share increased by 13% compared to the same period last year. We opened four new financial centers across the Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio regions. Just last week, we opened a new location in Richardson in north Dallas County, bringing us to a total of seven new locations opened so far this year.
"Our strategy is consistent and our results speak for themselves," Green said. "Frost bankers continue to compete and win in an intensely competitive environment, and growth trends in our markets continue to be strong."
For the first six months of 2026, net income available to common shareholders was $339.7 million, up 11.5 percent compared to $304.6 million for the first six months of 2025. On a per-share basis, net income available to common shareholders for the first six months of 2026 was $5.35, up 14.1 percent compared to $4.69 in the year-earlier period. Returns on average assets and average common equity for the first six months of 2026 were 1.31 percent and 15.28 percent, respectively, compared to 1.20 percent and 15.59 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2025.
Noted financial data for the second quarter of 2026 follows:
•The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at the end of the second quarter of 2026 were 13.95 percent, 14.38 percent and 15.74 percent, respectively, and continue to be in excess of well-capitalized levels and exceed Basel III minimum requirements.
•During the second quarter, our base of customer households continued to grow. Total households, including consumer and commercial customers, grew by 5.9 percent from June, 2025 to June, 2026.
•Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $470.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 4.3 percent, compared to $450.6 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net interest margin was 3.75 percent for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 3.67 percent for the second quarter of 2025 and 3.74 percent for the first quarter of 2026.
•Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $128.3 million, an increase of $11.0 million, or 9.4 percent, from the $117.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2025. Trust and investment management fees increased $4.0 million, or 9.1 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The
increase in trust and investment management fees during the second quarter was primarily related to increases in investment management fees (up $4.2 million). Investment management fees are generally based on the market value of assets within customer accounts and are thus impacted by price movements in the equity and bond markets. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $5.0 million, or 17.2 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025, driven in part by growth in our base of customers and growth in customer transaction volumes. Other non-interest income increased $974,000, or 8.9 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase during the second quarter was primarily related to increases in sundry and other miscellaneous income (up $1.5 million), partly offset by a decrease in public finance underwriting fees (down $425,000). The primary driver of the $1.5 million increase in sundry and other miscellaneous income was $2.2 million of one-time COVID payroll tax refunds that were received during the second quarter.
•Non-interest expense was $361.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, up $14.6 million, or 4.2 percent, compared to the $347.1 million reported for the second quarter a year earlier. Salaries and wages expense increased $10.8 million, or 6.7 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily related to increases in salaries due to annual merit and market increases, as well as growth in the number of employees. Employee benefits expense increased by $2.3 million, or 7.1 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in employee benefits expense was primarily related to increases in medical/dental benefits expense (up $1.6 million) and payroll taxes (up $530,000). Technology, furniture, and equipment expense increased $2.0 million, or 4.9 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily related to increased cloud services expense (up $1.0 million) and service contracts expense (up $583,000). Other non-interest expense decreased $854,000, or 1.2 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The decrease included decreases in sundry and other miscellaneous expense (down $1.6 million), advertising/promotions expense (down $853,000), and business development expense (down $638,000); among other things.
•For the second quarter of 2026, the company reported a credit loss expense of $9.8 million, and reported net charge-offs of $9.5 million. This compares to a credit loss expense of $6.7 million and net charge-offs of $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2026 and a credit loss expense of $13.1 million and net charge-offs of $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage
of total loans was 1.23 percent at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.28 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2026 and 1.31 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2025. Non-accrual loans were $112.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026, compared to $72.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026 and $62.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025.
•During the second quarter of 2026, we repurchased 654,955 shares at a total cost of $90.0 million under our board-authorized stock repurchase plan. As of the end of the second quarter, we had $140.0 million remaining under our current $300 million repurchase authorization, which expires in January of 2027.
The Cullen/Frost board declared a third-quarter cash dividend of $1.03 per common share. The dividend on common stock is payable September 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on August 31 of this year. The board of directors also declared a cash dividend of $11.125 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (or $0.278125 per depositary share). The depositary shares representing the Series B Preferred Stock are traded on the NYSE under the symbol "CFR PrB." The Series B Preferred Stock dividend is payable September 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on August 31 of this year.

In addition, recent military conflict involving the U.S. and Iran, including direct military actions, attacks affecting commercial shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz, and subsequent retaliatory military strikes, has contributed to heightened geopolitical uncertainty, increased volatility in global financial markets, and significant fluctuations in energy and commodity prices. While diplomatic communications and negotiations may continue, recent statements by U.S. and Iranian officials, including indications that the previously announced ceasefire framework is no longer in effect, have increased the risk of further military escalation and broader regional instability. Ongoing developments in the Middle East, including potential disruptions to maritime trade routes and energy infrastructure, could adversely affect global supply chains, inflation expectations, economic activity, and market conditions. The timing, magnitude, duration, and geographic scope of any further conflict remain highly uncertain and may evolve rapidly in response to military actions, diplomatic developments, government policy decisions, sanctions, and market reactions. Heightened geopolitical uncertainty and volatility in energy markets may influence monetary policy decisions, interest-rate expectations, funding markets, liquidity conditions, foreign-exchange markets, and investor risk sentiment. These factors could adversely affect our funding profile; customer and counterparty credit quality, particularly in sectors sensitive to energy prices, global trade, transportation, manufacturing, and broader economic cycles; and the market value of certain financial instruments. Prolonged market volatility, additional military escalation involving the United States, Iran, or other regional actors, disruptions to global energy supplies or shipping lanes, expanded sanctions, or a deterioration in global economic conditions could negatively impact economic growth, increase borrower stress, reduce business activity, and contribute to higher credit losses and operational risks, including cyber-related incidents, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We will continue to monitor geopolitical developments and assess their potential impact on our customers, operations, liquidity position, capital levels, market exposures, and overall risk profile, and we may adjust our risk management, liquidity management, capital planning, and business continuity strategies as appropriate.
Furthermore, financial markets, international relations, and global supply chains continue to be affected by evolving U.S. trade policies and practices. While the U.S. Supreme Court's February 20, 2026 ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") does not authorize presidential tariff authority invalidated certain tariffs previously imposed under IEEPA, uncertainty remains regarding tariff refunds, related legal and administrative proceedings, and the scope, duration, and economic impact of replacement or additional trade measures adopted under other U.S. trade laws. Ongoing changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition, modification, suspension, or expansion of tariffs and other trade restrictions, may affect customer cash flows, business confidence, capital investment decisions, supply chain strategies, commodity prices, inflation expectations, and market volatility. These developments may increase our exposure to operational, credit, market, liquidity, and compliance risks. Customers with significant exposure to international trade, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, retail, or other sectors sensitive to global trade and supply chain conditions may experience financial stress, reduced profitability, or weakened operating performance. Trade policy developments may also contribute to volatility in interest rates, foreign exchange markets, and asset valuations. If these developments adversely affect borrower financial condition, market stability, economic growth, or broader business activity, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We will continue to monitor trade policy developments and adjust our risk management, liquidity management, and capital planning strategies as appropriate.
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.
