Hamilton, Bermuda - February 9, 2026: The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited ("Butterfield" or the "Bank") (BSX: NTB.BH; NYSE: NTB) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $231.9 million, or $5.47 per diluted common share, compared to $216.3 million, or $4.71 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Core net income1 for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $237.5 million, or $5.60 per diluted common share, compared to $218.9 million, or $4.77 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The return on average common equity for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 21.7% compared to 21.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The core return on average tangible common equity1 for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 24.2%, compared to 24.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 59.4% compared with 60.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The core efficiency ratio1 for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 58.5% compared with 60.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Michael Collins, Butterfield's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Throughout 2025 Butterfield delivered strong financial results supported by disciplined strategic execution. We achieved year-on-year net

income growth, with core net income per diluted share increasing 17.4% compared to 2024. Our relationship-focused banking and private trust businesses increased non-interest income, while net interest income benefited from lower deposit costs and higher yielding asset redeployment. Butterfield remained focused on expense management, while completing a number of value-added projects that have advanced our technology platform.
"Capital management remains integral to Butterfield’s strategy, with an increase in the quarterly dividend as well as share repurchases driving a combined payout ratio approaching 100% of net income for 2025. In addition, we remain focused on growth through private trust and bank acquisitions in order to achieve scale in island markets that we understand.
“On behalf of my fellow Directors, I am pleased to welcome Meroe Park back to Butterfield. Meroe brings over three decades of distinguished public service experience, including Deputy Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of the Smithsonian Institution and Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer at the Central Intelligence Agency, where she operated at the intersection of governance, operations, and public accountability. Meroe’s ability to navigate complexity and lead in demanding professional environments with diverse stakeholders, combined with her background in human resources, operations, technology, and cyber security will add meaningful depth to our Board deliberations.”
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $63.8 million, or $1.54 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $61.1 million, or $1.46 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $59.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Core net income1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $63.8 million, or $1.54 per diluted common share, compared to $63.3 million, or $1.51 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $59.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.
The return on average common equity for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 22.7% compared to 22.5% for the previous quarter and 22.9% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The core return on average tangible common equity1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 24.6%, compared to 25.5% for the previous quarter and 25.2% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 57.2%, compared to 57.7% for the previous quarter and 58.2% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The core efficiency ratio1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 57.2% compared with 56.2% in the previous quarter and 58.2% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net income and core net income1 were up in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus the prior quarter, primarily due to higher non-interest income and lower provision for credit losses, which were partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.
Net interest income (“NII”) for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $92.6 million, relatively flat compared to $92.7 million in the previous quarter and $4.0 million higher compared to $88.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. NII was higher during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to a lower cost of deposits as central banks have reduced market interest rates and investment yields have increased as assets were deployed into higher yielding available-for-sale investment securities, which were partially offset by lower loan and treasury yields.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 2.69%, a decrease of 4 basis points from the previous quarter at 2.73% and compares favorably to 2.61% in the fourth quarter of 2024. NIM in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased compared to the prior quarter due to lower treasury and loan yields as central banks cut market interest rates. NIM in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to lower cost of deposits, which were partially offset by lower treasury and loan yields.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $66.3 million, an increase of $5.1 million from $61.2 million in the previous quarter and $3.0 million higher than $63.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter was due to higher banking revenue due to seasonality, higher third party credit card volume incentives and higher trust revenue from new clients and fee increases. Non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was higher than the fourth quarter of 2024 due to higher trust revenue from new clients and fee increases and increased asset management fees from higher valuation, partially offset by lower banking revenue.
Non-interest expenses were $93.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $90.8 million in the previous quarter and $90.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Core non-interest expenses1 of $93.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 were higher compared to the $88.5 million incurred in the previous quarter and the $90.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Core non-interest expenses1 in the fourth quarter of 2025 were higher compared to the prior quarter due to increased professional and outside services costs, salaries and benefits, technology and communications, marketing and other non-interest expenses. Core non-interest expenses1 in the fourth quarter of

2025 were higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to salaries and benefits and professional and outside services cost.
Period end deposit balances remained relatively flat at $12.7 billion compared to December 31, 2024. Average deposits were $12.8 billion in the quarter ended December 31, 2025, which is slightly higher than the $12.6 billion in the prior quarter.
Tangible book value per share1 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 was $26.41 per share, higher than $25.06 per share at the end of the prior quarter and an increase over the $21.70 at December 31, 2024. The tangible book value per share1 continues to improve due to OCI burndown and retained earnings, net of dividends.
The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend rate of $0.50 per common share to be paid on March 9, 2026 to shareholders of record on February 23, 2026. During the fourth quarter of 2025, Butterfield repurchased 0.6 million common shares under the Bank's existing share repurchase program. On December 8, 2025, the Board approved a new share repurchase program to replace its expiring program, authorizing the purchase of up to 3.0 million common shares through to December 31, 2026. The new share repurchase authorization took effect on January 1, 2026.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Bank has adopted the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's ("BCBS") revised standardized approach for credit risk framework as required by the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA"). Comparatives were prepared under the prior credit risk framework. The current total regulatory capital ratio as at December 31, 2025 was 27.8%, compared to 25.8% as at December 31, 2024. Both of these ratios remain conservatively above the minimum regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank.

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

Net Income
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $63.8 million, up from $61.1 million in the prior quarter.
The change in net income during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to the previous quarter is attributable to the following:
$5.1 million increase in non-interest income driven by (i) $1.9 million increase in banking fees due to seasonal increases in card volumes and incentives programs; and (ii) $1.3 million increase in trust income from new clients and fee increases; (iii) $0.5 million increase in foreign exchange revenue driven by volume; and (iv) $0.5 million increase in asset management income from increased asset valuations;
$0.7 million decrease in allowance for credit losses due to net charge-offs in the prior quarter;
$2.3 million increase in non-interest expenses mainly due to (i) $1.4 million increase in professional and outside services for project work; (ii) $0.6 million increase in technology and communication costs driven by corporate travel expenses; (iii) $0.6 million increase in other non-interest expenses due to increased charitable donations; and (iv) $0.6 million increase in marketing expenses from event costs and sponsorship; partially offset by (v) $1.5 million decrease in salaries and other employee benefits due to senior management departures costs recognized in the prior quarter; and
5


$0.7 million increase in income tax expenses mainly due to higher net income in the Channel Islands and UK segment.

Non-Core Items1
There were no non-core items for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Management does not believe that comparative period expenses, gains or losses identified as non-core are indicative of the results of operations of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

Net Income
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $231.9 million, up $15.6 million from $216.3 million in the prior year.
The $15.6 million change in net income in the year ended December 31, 2025 was due principally to the following:
$12.9 million increase in non-interest income driven by (i) $4.5 million increase in trust income earned from increased fees and new clients; (ii) $3.7 million increase in banking fees due to increased card services, wire fees and volume incentives; (iii) $2.9 million increase in asset management fees due to increases in asset valuations; and (iv) $1.3 million increase in foreign exchange revenue due to higher volumes;
$12.9 million increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses primarily due to lower costs of deposit from central bank market interest rate cuts and higher investment yields as assets were deployed into higher yielding available-for-sale investment securities, which were partially offset by lower loan and treasury yields;
$1.4 million decrease in provision for credit losses due to net releases during the year;
$9.7 million increase in non-interest expenses, driven by higher staff-related costs from senior management departures, inflationary increases, group-wide voluntary early retirement and redundancy programs and higher incentive accruals. These were partially offset by lower technology and communications cost due to lower IT software maintenance expenses; and lower professional and outside services costs;
$1.5 million increase in income tax expenses due to higher net income in the Channel Islands and UK segment.

Non-Core Items1
Non-core items resulted in expenses, net of gains, of $5.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to expenses, net of gains, of $2.6 million in the prior year. Non-core items for the year relate mainly to costs recognized related to the group-wide voluntary early retirement and redundancy programs and costs associated with senior executive departures.
Management does not believe that comparative period expenses, gains or losses identified as non-core are indicative of the results of operations of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.

BALANCE SHEET COMMENTARY AT DECEMBER 31, 2025 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 2024
Total Assets
Total assets of the Bank were $14.1 billion at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.1 billion from December 31, 2024. The Bank maintained a highly liquid position at December 31, 2025, with $9.3 billion of cash, bank deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and liquid investments representing 65.6% of total assets, compared with 65.3% at December 31, 2024.
Loans Receivable
The loan portfolio totaled $4.4 billion at December 31, 2025, relatively flat compared to the December 31, 2024 balance.
The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2025 totaled $25.4 million, a slight decrease compared to $25.7 million at December 31, 2024.
The loan portfolio represented 31.1% of total assets at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 31.4%), while loans as a percentage of total deposits was 34.5% at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 35.1%). Both ratios remain relatively flat at December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.
As at December 31, 2025, the Bank had gross non-accrual loans of $91.3 million, representing 2.1% of total gross loans, an increase of $14.7 million from $76.7 million, or 1.7% of total loans, at December 31, 2024. The increase in non-accrual loans was driven by a residential mortgage facility in the Channel Islands and UK segment and partially offset by the settlement of a commercial real estate loan facility in Bermuda.
Investment in Securities
The investment portfolio was $5.7 billion at December 31, 2025, which was $0.2 billion higher than the December 31, 2024 balances. The increase is due to the deployment of assets into the available-for-sale investment portfolio.
The investment portfolio is made up of high-quality assets with 100% invested in A-or-better-rated securities. The investment book yield was 2.72% during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared with 2.67% during the previous quarter. Total net unrealized losses on the available-for-sale portfolio is lower at $89.4 million, an improvement of $73.9 million compared with total net unrealized losses of $163.3 million at December 31, 2024.
Deposits
Average total deposit balances were $12.8 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, while period end balances as at December 31, 2025 were $12.7 billion, both relatively flat compared to December 31, 2024 balances.

Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings
The table below shows the reconciliation of net income in accordance with US GAAP to core earnings, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain significant items that are included in our US GAAP results of operations. We focus on core net income, which we calculate by adjusting net income to exclude certain income or expense items that are not representative of our business operations, or “non-core”. Core net income includes revenue, gains, losses and expense items incurred in the normal course of business. We believe that expressing earnings and certain other financial measures excluding these non-core items provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Bank and predicting future performance. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as management.
