Note: Changes which are partially attributable to both volume and rate are allocated to the volume and rate components presented above based on the percentage of direct changes that are attributable to each component.
Compared to the second quarter of 2024, FTE total interest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $2.1 million, or 0.5%, due to an increase of $175.2 million attributable to changes in volume, partially offset by a decrease of $173.1 million attributable to changes in yield. The increase due to changes in volume was largely due to an increase in average net loans in part due to loans acquired in the Republic First Transaction. The decrease due to changes in yield was primarily due to a decline in interest rates on average net loans and other interest-earning assets.
The yield on average total interest-earning assets decreased 20 bps for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to lower interest rates.
In the second quarter of 2025, interest expense decreased $10.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a decrease of $139.4 million attributable to changes in rate, partially offset by an increase of $128.4 million attributable to changes in volume. The increase in interest expense attributable to changes in volume was driven by increases in average time deposits and average savings and money market deposits in part due to deposits assumed in the Republic First Transaction. The decrease in interest expense attributable to changes in rate was primarily due to lower interest rates.
The rate on average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 33 bps for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to lower interest rates.

The Corporation does not have a significant concentration of credit risk with any single borrower. As of June 30, 2025, approximately $10.8 billion, or 45.1%, of the loan portfolio was comprised of commercial mortgage loans and construction loans.
The Corporation has established lower total lending limits for certain types of commercial lending commitments and lower total lending limits based on the Corporation's internal risk rating of an individual borrower at the time the lending commitment is approved. The Corporation adheres to loan portfolio management practices, which include requiring an annual review of the majority of loans. Additionally, management monitors the loan portfolio throughout the year taking into account, among other things, the size, complexity and risk of loans and individual borrowers. An independent loan review function assesses the portfolio for internal risk rating accuracy and loan servicing policy requirements. The Corporation consolidates risk migrations to identify emerging risks by industry and real estate property types, taking into consideration economic forecasts and industry trends. The Corporation takes a risk-based approach when reviewing a specific loan portfolio, such as the commercial office loan portfolio or multi-family loan portfolio. The Corporation reviews portfolio concentrations and adjusts the lending limits based on asset quality, economic forecasts and industry outlook.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-accrual loans decreased by approximately $6.4 million, or 3.4%, largely due to $113.9 million in payments, $34.1 million in charge-offs and $5.3 million in transfers to accrual status, partially offset by $148.1 million in additions. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-accrual loans as a percentage of total net loans decreased to 0.76% compared to 0.79% as of December 31, 2024.

(1) Excludes $13.9 million and $17.5 million of residential mortgage properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Non-performing loans as of June 30, 2025 were $212.9 million, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 3.3%, compared to $220.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in non-performing loans during the first six months of 2025 was primarily due to payments, charge-offs and transfers to accrual status, partially offset by additions. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total net loans was 0.89% and 0.92% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Corporation's ability to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner is important to maintaining an adequate ACL. For commercial and industrial loans, commercial mortgage loans, commercial construction loans and leases and other loans, an internal risk rating process is used to monitor credit quality. The evaluation of credit risk for residential mortgages, home equity loans, construction loans to individuals and consumer loans is based on payment history through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends.
Total internally risk-rated loans were $15.5 billion and $15.4 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of which $1.7 billion were criticized and classified loans at June 30, 2025 compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024.

Shareholders' Equity
On December 17, 2024, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors approved the 2025 Repurchase Program. The 2025 Repurchase Program will expire on December 31, 2025. Under the 2025 Repurchase Program, the Corporation is authorized to repurchase up to $125.0 million of shares of its common stock. Under the 2025 Repurchase Program up to $25.0 million may be used to repurchase shares of the Corporation's preferred stock.
On April 15, 2025, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors approved a supplemental authorization under the 2025 Repurchase Program to repurchase up to $25 million of the Subordinated Notes due 2030; provided that the purchase price of the Corporation's preferred stock and the Subordinated Notes due 2030 may not exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million.
The 2025 Repurchase Program may be discontinued at any time.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, 553,767 shares of common stock were repurchased under the 2025 Repurchase Program at a total cost of $9.0 million or $16.28 per share.
On May 1, 2024, the Corporation completed its underwritten public offering of 19,166,667 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $15.00 per share, before underwriting discounts. The net proceeds to the Corporation from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and transaction expenses were approximately $272.6 million.
Regulatory Capital
The Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary bank, Fulton Bank, are subject to the Capital Rules administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Corporation's financial statements.
The Capital Rules require the Corporation and Fulton Bank to:
Meet a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets;
Meet a minimum Tier 1 Leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets;
Meet a minimum Total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets;
Maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments; and
Comply with a revised definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses. Certain non-qualifying capital instruments, including cumulative preferred stock and TruPS, are excluded as a component of Tier 1 capital for institutions of the Corporation's size.
As of June 30, 2025, the Corporation's capital levels met the minimum capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffers, as prescribed in the Capital Rules.
As of June 30, 2025, Fulton Bank met the well-capitalized requirements under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, a bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, Common Equity Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the Capital Rules. There were no other conditions or events since June 30, 2025 that management believes have changed the Corporation's capital categories.
The following table summarizes the Corporation's capital ratios in comparison to regulatory requirements:
| June 30,2025 | December 31, 2024 | RegulatoryMinimumfor CapitalAdequacy | With Capital Conservation Buffer | |
