Net income per diluted common share was $1.18 for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with $1.45 for the same period in 2025.

("American Bank") merged into Prosperity Bank (collectively, the "American Merger"). On February 1, 2026, Southwest Bancshares, Inc. ("Southwest") merged into Prosperity Bancshares, and Texas Partners Bank ("Texas Partners") merged into Prosperity Bank (collectively, the "Southwest Merger"). On July 1, 2026, Stellar Bancorp, Inc. ("Stellar") merged into Prosperity Bancshares, and Stellar Bank ("Stellar Bank") merged into Prosperity Bank (collectively, the "Stellar Merger", and together with the American Merger and the Southwest Merger, the "Mergers"). During the third quarter of 2026, Prosperity incurred merger related expenses of $69.7 million, or $0.46⁽¹⁾ per diluted common share and an out of state tax settlement of $5.0 million, or $0.04⁽¹⁾ per diluted common share, partially offset by a gain of $927 thousand, or $0.01⁽¹⁾ per diluted common share as a result of the exchange and conversion of Visa Inc. ("Visa") Class B-2 stock. Excluding the merger related expenses, net of tax, the tax settlement, and the net gain, net of tax, net income was $200.8⁽¹⁾ million and net income per diluted common share was $1.67⁽¹⁾ for the third quarter of 2026.

"I am pleased to announce that the Board of Directors approved increasing the fourth quarter 2026 dividend to $0.64 per share from the $0.60 per share that was paid in the prior four quarters, an increase of 6.7%.  The increase reflects the continued confidence the Board has in our company and our markets. The compound annual growth rate in dividends declared from 2003 to 2026 was 10.4%. 

We continue to share our success with our shareholders through the payment of dividends and opportunistic stock repurchases, while also continuing to grow our capital," said David Zalman, Prosperity's Senior Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"We are extremely proud of this year's growth and would like to highlight the following results. Prosperity had $54.1 billion in total assets at September 30, 2026, an increase of $15.8 billion or 41.1% compared with $38.3 billion at September 30, 2025.  Loans were $32.1 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $10.0 billion or 45.5% compared with $22.0 billion at September 30, 2025, and deposits were $41.2 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $13.4 billion or 48.4% compared with $27.8 billion at September 30, 2025," stated Zalman.

"These increases primarily reflect our three recent mergers. We are highlighting their magnitude because they demonstrate the expertise of our associates, who have extensive experience executing acquisitions and integrating the acquired institutions. Our greater scale strengthens our competitiveness, improves efficiency, and enables technology investments that would be difficult for a smaller bank," continued Zalman.

"We remain focused on completing the operational integration of Texas Partners Bank and Stellar Bank and delivering the outcomes we believe are possible. We are extremely excited about our future as a larger bank, including the potential growth in earnings," added Zalman.

"The Texas and Oklahoma economies continue to expand in late 2026 despite labor supply constraints and headwinds from inflation and energy prices. Texas has a growing population of 31.7 million and continues to attract people and businesses with its business-friendly state government and lack of a state income tax. Major construction projects across Texas include new data centers, factories producing various products from chips to new drugs, and SpaceX and Tesla projects. Both states remain attractive places to live and do business," stated Zalman.

"I want to thank our customers, associates, directors and shareholders for their hard work, loyalty and support, which have been essential to our success. Our strong fundamentals and resolve position us to continue building this great bank," concluded Zalman.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, net income was $141.5 million⁽²⁾ or $1.18 per diluted common share compared with $137.6 million⁽³⁾or $1.45 per diluted common share for the same period in 2025. Net income and net income per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2026 were primarily impacted by an increase in net interest income due to the Mergers, partially offset by an increase in merger related expenses, an increase in noninterest expenses related to the Mergers and an increase in provision for income taxes due to an increase in nondeductible merger related expenses and an out of state tax settlement. The $5.0 million tax settlement resulted in a higher than normal effective tax rate of 24.4%. On a linked quarter basis, net income was $141.5 million⁽²⁾ or $1.18 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $168.6 million⁽⁴⁾ or $1.67 for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with 3.24% for the same period in 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Prosperity's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its performance.

Prosperity believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Prosperity's financial results and their presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Prosperity's business and allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to management, the entire financial services sector, bank stock analysts and bank regulators. Further, Prosperity believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its core operating earnings and business outlook. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor of greater importance than, GAAP basis financial measures and results; Prosperity strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Please refer to the "Notes to Selected Financial Data" at the end of this Earnings Release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest respective GAAP financial measures.
