Total loans grew to $54.1 billion and deposits to $58.9 billion, both up about 7–8% annualized from the prior quarter. Net interest income was $579.0 million with a net interest margin of 3.54% (3.56% fully tax-equivalent), modestly higher than the fourth quarter. Non-interest income rose to $134.1 million, helped by stronger wealth management and mortgage banking revenue.
Asset quality remained solid. Net charge-offs were $18.4 million, or 0.14% of average loans annualized, down from 0.17% in the prior quarter. Non-performing loans were $182.7 million, 0.34% of total loans, while the allowance for credit losses increased to $471.6 million.

Wintrust Financial Corporation is asking shareholders to vote at its May 28, 2026 annual meeting on three items: electing 12 director nominees for one-year terms, approving on an advisory basis the Company’s executive compensation, and ratifying Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditor for fiscal 2026.
Only holders of Wintrust common stock as of March 30, 2026, when about 67,437,300 shares were outstanding, may vote. The Board, led by an independent non-executive chair, recommends voting FOR all three proposals. Two long‑serving directors, William J. Doyle and H. Patrick Hackett, Jr., are not standing for re‑election; the Board expects Brian A. Kenney to serve as the next independent Chairman if he is re‑elected.
The proxy highlights extensive governance practices, including fully independent key committees, majority voting for directors, director stock ownership guidelines, and prohibitions on hedging, short selling and pledging Company stock. Non‑employee directors received a $160,000 annual board retainer in 2025, rising to $200,000 from 2026, plus committee and chair fees, with many choosing to take compensation in stock or deferred stock units.
Wintrust also describes its corporate social responsibility efforts, including about $13.6 million of 2025 community support and broad financial education programs, and notes that large institutional holders such as BlackRock and FMR each own more than 8% of the common stock.
