"The strength of our strategy and the dedication of our team combined to generate a 17% increase in our operating diluted earnings per share," said Curtis J. Myers, Fulton Chairman, CEO and President. "In 2025, we delivered value to customers, expanded our team and customer base, and generated solid financial performance."

Financial Highlights

Fourth quarter of 2025 operating results of $0.55 per diluted share(1) were impacted by the following items:

  • Solid net interest margin of 3.59%, with a 13 basis point decrease in total cost of funds compared to the prior quarter.
  • Non-interest income decreased $0.4 million to $70.0 million compared to $70.4 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-interest expense increased $16.4 million to $213.0 million compared to $196.6 million in the prior quarter. Operating non-interest expense increased $12.7 million to $204.1 million(1) compared to $191.4 million in the prior quarter.
  • Provision for credit losses was $2.9 million resulting in an allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans of $364.5 million, or 1.51% of total net loans as of December 31, 2025.
  • Common equity tier 1 capital ratio(2) increased to approximately 11.8% compared to 11.6% in the prior quarter.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2025, 1,082,678 shares of the Corporation's common stock were repurchased under the 2025 Repurchase Program(3) at a cost of $19.9 million or an average of $18.34 per share. The Corporation repurchased $59.0 million of common stock under the 2025 Repurchase Program as of December 31, 2025.
  • On December 16, 2025, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors approved the 2026 Repurchase Program(4). Under the 2026 Repurchase Program, the Corporation is authorized to repurchase up to $150 million of shares of its common stock and certain other securities.

The following items highlight notable changes in the components of net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2025:

  • Net interest income totaled $266.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million. A $5.9 million decrease in interest expense on deposits, a $3.6 million decrease in interest expense on other borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities and a $1.3 million increase in interest income on other interest-earning assets were partially offset by decreases of $6.4 million in interest income on net loans and $2.4 million in interest income on investments securities. Purchase loan mark accretion from loans acquired in the Acquisition(5) was $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $12.7 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-interest income before investment securities gains (losses) was $70.0 million compared to $70.4 million in the prior quarter. The $0.4 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.7 million in income from equity method investments and a $1.1 million gain on sale of commercial loans in the prior quarter, both reflected in other non-interest income, which were partially offset by increases of $1.2 million in wealth management revenues, $0.9 million in commercial customer derivative fee income, reflected in capital markets income, and $0.6 million in small business administration income, reflected in other commercial banking income.
  • Non-interest expense was $213.0 million compared to $196.6 million in the prior quarter. The $16.4 million increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $10.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense largely due to increases of $7.5 million in incentive compensation expense, $1.0 million in employee healthcare expense and $0.6 million in employee severance expense. Additionally, increases of $1.6 million in net occupancy expense largely due to snow removal and maintenance costs, and $1.2 million in data processing and software expense contributed to the increase in non-interest expense.

Balance Sheet Summary

  • Total net loans totaled $24.1 billion, an increase of $103.4 million, compared to $24.0 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase was largely due to increases of $73.4 million in consumer loans(6) and $30.0 million in commercial loans.(6)
  • Deposits totaled $26.6 billion, an increase of $256.9 million, compared to $26.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases of $145.4 million in brokered deposits, $119.9 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and $95.2 million in savings deposits, partially offset by decreases of $65.2 million in interest-bearing demand deposits and $38.3 million in time deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

  • The provision for credit losses was $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting in a $364.5 million allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans, or 1.51% of total net loans as of December 31, 2025, compared to $376.3 million, or 1.57% of total net loans as of September 30, 2025.
  • Non-performing assets were $185.2 million, or 0.58% of total assets, as of December 31, 2025, in comparison to $201.0 million, or 0.63% of total assets, as of September 30, 2025.
  • Annualized net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2025 were 0.24% of total average loans in comparison to 0.18% in the prior quarter.

(dollars in thousands, except per share and share data)































Explanatory note:

This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, that has been derived by methods other than GAAP. The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:
