FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES INC /DE/

NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (the “Parent Company” and, when including all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, “we,” “us,” “our,” “BancShares”) is a financial holding company organized under the laws of Delaware that conducts operations through its banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FCB”), which is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. BancShares operates a network of branches and offices, predominantly located in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Western United States. BancShares provides various types of commercial and consumer banking services, including lending, leasing, and wealth management services. Deposit services include checking, savings, money market, and time deposit accounts.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The consolidated financial statements of BancShares include the accounts of BancShares and its subsidiaries, certain partnership interests, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where BancShares is the primary beneficiary, if applicable. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Assets held in agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 9—Variable Interest Entities for additional information regarding VIEs.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions impact the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimate related to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) is considered a critical accounting estimate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies are described in the 2025 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

As of January 1, 2026, BancShares adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board:

ASU 2025-08—Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, Issued November 2025

Under this ASU, purchased seasoned loans (“PSLs” as described below) must be recognized at the purchase price, plus the ALLL at the acquisition date (the “Gross-Up Approach”). Since the ALLL at the acquisition date is established through the Gross-Up Approach, there is no corresponding increase to the provision for loan and lease losses (“Day 2 Provision for Loan and Lease Losses”).

Prior to this ASU, the Gross-Up Approach was only permitted for purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans, while the initial ALLL for Non-PCD loans was established through the Day 2 Provision for Loan and Lease Losses. Under this ASU, the Gross-Up Approach applies to PCD loans and the following Non-PCD loans which qualify as PSLs: (i) non-credit card loans acquired in a business combination and (ii) non-credit card loans purchased more than 90 days after origination in a non-business combination transaction, provided the acquirer was not involved in the original lending. This ASU specifically excludes credit card loans from the definition of PSLs. This ASU is required to be applied prospectively upon adoption.

We early adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2026 (the “Adoption Date”) on a prospective basis. For PSLs acquired on or after the Adoption Date, this ASU could reduce the Day 2 Provision for Loan and Lease Losses, and the subsequent credit-related loan purchase accounting accretion or amortization that was prevalent for Non-PCD loans acquired prior the Adoption Date. This ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures for the three month period ended March 31, 2026.

ASU 2025-05—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, Issued July 2025

This ASU provides an optional practical expedient which permits an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when estimating the ALLL for accounts receivable.

We adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2026. We did not elect the optional practical expedient and adoption of this ASU did not impact our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 2 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Pending Branch Acquisition

On October 16, 2025, FCB announced that it had entered into an agreement to consummate the acquisition of 138 branches from BMO Bank N.A. located throughout the Midwest, Great Plains and West regions of the U.S. (the “BMO Branch Acquisition”). In connection with the BMO Branch Acquisition, FCB expects to assume approximately $5.3 billion in deposit liabilities and acquire approximately $1.1 billion in loans. We expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing terms and conditions and the receipt of remaining regulatory approvals.

SVBB Acquisition

On March 27, 2023, FCB acquired substantially all loans and certain other assets and assumed all customer deposits and certain other liabilities of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC” and such transaction, the “SVBB Acquisition”) and FCB issued afive-year $36.07 billion note payable to the FDIC, maturing March 27, 2028, which was amended and restated on November 20, 2023 (the “Purchase Money Note”) and is collateralized by certain loans. Refer to Note 10—Borrowings for the outstanding carrying value of the Purchase Money Note.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The following tables include theamortized cost and fair value of investment securities:

Amortized Cost and Fair Value - Investment Securities

U.S. Treasury investments include Treasury bills and Notes issued by the U.S. Treasury. Investments in government agency securities represent securities issued by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and other U.S. agencies. Investments in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities represent securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). Investments in corporate bonds represent positions in debt securities of other financial institutions. Municipal bonds are revenue bonds. Investments in marketable equity securities represent positions in common stock of publicly traded financial institutions. Investments in supranational securities represent securities issued by the Supranational Entities & Multilateral Development Banks. Other held to maturity investments include certificates of deposit with other financial institutions.

BancShares initially held approximately 354,000 shares of Visa, Inc. (“Visa”) Class B common stock (“Visa Class B common stock”). Effective January 24, 2024, all outstanding shares of Visa Class B common stock were redenominated as Visa Class B-1 common stock (“Visa Class B-1 common stock”) pursuant to Visa’s eighth amended and restated certificate of incorporation. BancShares currently holds approximately 354,000 shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock. Until the resolution of certain litigation, at which time the Visa Class B-1 common stock will convert to publicly traded Visa Class A common stock, or the potential exchange of Visa Class B-1 common stock for other marketable classes of Visa common stock, these shares are only transferable to other stockholders of Visa Class B-1 common stock or certain new denominations of Visa’s former Class B common stock. As a result, there is limited transfer activity in private transactions between buyers and sellers. Given this limited trading activity and the continuing uncertainty regarding the likelihood, ultimate timing and eventual exchange of Visa Class B-1 common stock for shares of Visa Class A common stock or other marketable classes of Visa common stock, these shares are not considered to have a readily determinable fair value and have no carrying value. BancShares has not elected to participate in any exchange offers pertaining to its shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock, including the exchange offer Visa commenced on April 13, 2026. BancShares continues to monitor the trading activity in Visa Class B-1 common stock, the status of the resolution of certain litigation matters at Visa, and other potential exchange alternatives that would trigger the conversion of the Visa Class B-1 common stock into Visa Class A common stock or other marketable classes of Visa common stock.

Accrued interest receivable for available for sale and held to maturity debt securities was excluded from the estimate for credit losses. At March 31, 2026, accrued interest receivable for available for sale and held to maturity debt securities was $184 million and $18 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025, accrued interest receivable foravailable for sale and held to maturity debt securities was $157 million and $20 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there wasno accrued interest that was deemed uncollectible and written off against interest income.

A security is considered past due once it is 30 days contractually past due under the terms of the agreement. There wereno securities past due as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

The following table provides the amortized cost and fair value by contractual maturity. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities on certain securities because borrowers and issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. Residential and commercial mortgage-backed and government agency securities are stated separately as they are not due at a single maturity date.

Maturities - Debt Securities

Thefollowing table presents interest and dividend income on investment securities:

Interest and Dividends on Investment Securities

(1) Amount includes interest income on securities purchased under agreements to resell.

The following table presents the gross realized gain and loss on sales of investment securities available for sale, and the net realized gain on sale of marketable equity securities:

Realized Gain (Loss) on Sale of Investment Securities, Net

The following table provides information regarding investment securities available for sale with unrealized losses:

Gross Unrealized Losses on Debt Securities Available For Sale

As of March 31, 2026, there were 300 investment securities available for sale with continuous unrealized losses for more than 12 months, of which 285 were government sponsored enterprise-issued mortgage-backed securities including GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA, or government agency securities, and the remaining 15 were corporate bonds. BancShares has the ability and intent to retain these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all unrealized losses. Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury, and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, as of March 31, 2026, no allowance for credit loss was required. For corporate bonds, we analyzed the changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased or acquired, and considered other factors including changes in credit ratings, delinquencies, and other macroeconomic factors. As a result of this analysis, we determined thatno allowance for credit loss was required for investment securities available for sale as of March 31, 2026.

BancShares’ portfolio of held to maturity debt securities consists of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities including GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA, U.S. Treasury notes, unsecured bonds issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, and securities issued by the Supranational Entities & Multilateral Development Banks. Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury and the Supranational Entities & Multilateral Development Banks, and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, no allowance for credit loss was required for debt securities held to maturity as of March 31, 2026.

There wereno debt securities on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Investment securities having an aggregate carrying value of $3.59 billion at March 31, 2026, and $3.89 billion at December 31, 2025, were pledged as collateral to secure public funds on deposit, the Purchase Money Note, certain short-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required by law.

Certain investments held by BancShares are reported in other assets, including FHLB stock and nonmarketable securities without readily determinable fair values that are recorded at cost, investments in qualified affordable housing projects that are accounted for under the proportional amortization method (“PAM”), and renewable energy tax credit investments that utilize the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (“HLBVM”). Refer to Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation of our 2025 Form 10-K for descriptions of the accounting methodologies.

NOTE 4 — ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

The composition of assets held for sale is summarized in the following table.

(1)There were nonaccrual loans held for sale of $0 at March 31, 2026 and $10 million at December 31, 2025.

In March 2026, FCB management committed to a plan to sell $364 million of SBA commercial loans, which were then transferred from held for investment to held for sale. We did not establish a valuation allowance for the loans transferred to held for sale as the estimated fair value exceeded amortized cost.

Consumer loans held for sale at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were largely comprised of residential mortgage loans that were transferred from held for investment to held for sale in December 2025. We did not establish a valuation allowance for the loans transferred to held for sale as the estimated fair value exceeded the amortized cost of $644 million and $694 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In April 2026, the loan sale closed and a gain was recognized as the sale proceeds exceeded the amortized cost of $644 million. Additionally, consumer loans held for sale at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consisted of residential mortgage loans that FCB originated with the intent to sell.

NOTE 5 — LOANS AND LEASES

Loans held for sale are excluded from loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are included in Note 4—Assets Held For Sale. Finance leases for which we are the lessor are included in the commercial and industrial loan class in the following tables. Refer to Note 7—Leases for further information on leases.

The following table summarizes loans by class:

Loans by Class

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accrued interest receivable on loans included inother assets was $639 million and $635 million, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of the ALLL.

The discount on acquired loans is accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. Discount accretion income was $48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, including $1 million for unfunded commitments. Discount accretion income was $84 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, including $8 million for unfunded commitments.

The following table presents selected components of the amortized cost of loans, including the unamortized discount on acquired loans.

Components of Amortized Cost

The aging and nonaccrual status of the outstanding loans and leases by class at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are provided in the tables below. Loans and leases less than 30 days past due are considered current, as various grace periods allow borrowers to make payments within a stated period after the due date and remain in compliance with the respective agreement.

Loans and Leases - Delinquency and Nonaccrual Status(1)

(1)Accrued interest that was deducted from interest income when the loan was moved to nonaccrual status was $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

(2)Nonaccrual loans for which there was no related ALLL totaled $343 million at March 31, 2026 and $415 million at December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation of our 2025 Form 10-K for discussion of loans individually evaluated to determine the ALLL.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets were $116 million as of March 31, 2026 and $124 million as of December 31, 2025.

Credit Quality Indicators

Loans and leases are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis. Commercial loans and leases and consumer loans have different credit quality indicators as a result of the unique characteristics of the loan classes being evaluated. The credit quality indicators for commercial loans and leases are developed through a review of individual borrowers on an ongoing basis. Commercial loans are evaluated periodically with more frequent evaluations done on criticized loans. The indicators as of the date presented are based on the most recent assessment performed and are defined below:

Pass – A pass rated asset is not adversely classified because it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification.

Special mention – A special mention asset has potential weaknesses which deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.

Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in an asset classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.

Loss – Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value it is inappropriate to be carried as an asset. This classification is not necessarily equivalent to any potential for recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not appropriate to defer a full charge-off even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Ungraded – Ungraded loans represent loans not included in the individual credit grading process due to their relatively small balances or borrower type. The majority of ungraded loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, relate to business credit cards. Business credit card loans are subject to automatic charge-off when they become 120 days past due in the same manner as unsecured consumer lines of credit.

The credit quality indicator for consumer loans is based on delinquency status of the borrower as of the end of the period. As the borrower becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of loss increases. An exemption is applied to government guaranteed loans as the principal repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and thus remain on accrual status regardless of delinquency status.

The following tables summarize the commercial loans disaggregated by year of origination and by risk rating. The consumer loan delinquency status by year of origination is also presented below. The tables reflect the amortized cost of the loans and include PCD loans.

Commercial Loans - Risk Classifications by Class

Consumer Loans - Delinquency Status by Class

The following tables represent current credit quality indicators by origination year as of December 31, 2025:

Commercial Loans - Risk Classifications by Class

Gross Charge-offs

Gross charge-off disclosures by origination year and loan class are summarized in the following tables:

Loan Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulties

As part of BancShares’ ongoing credit risk management practices, BancShares attempts to work with borrowers when necessary to extend or modify loan terms to better align with the borrowers’ current ability to repay. BancShares’ modifications granted to debtors experiencing financial difficulties typically take the form of term extensions, payment delays, interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, or a combination thereof. Modifications are made in accordance with internal policies and guidelines to conform to regulatory guidance.

The following tables present the amortized cost of loan modifications made to debtors experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by class and type of loan modification. The tables also provide financial effects by type of such loan modifications for the respective loan class. Loan modifications for principal forgiveness round to less than $1 million for all loan classes in all periods presented and are not presented in the following tables.

Amortized Cost of Loans Modified during the three months ended March 31, 2026

(1) Term extensions include modifications which extended the maturity date or amortization period, and modifications that deferred lump-sum principal payments to a later date.

Amortized Cost of Loans Modified during the three months ended March 31, 2025

(1) Term extensions include modifications which extended the maturity date or amortization period, and modifications that deferred lump-sum principal payments to a later date.

Financial Effects of Loan Modifications made during the three months ended March 31, 2026

Financial Effects of Loan Modifications made during the three months ended March 31, 2025

Note: The financial effects of loan modifications for certain loan classes reported in the tables above were not reported in the preceding tables as the total amortized cost of loans modified during the period for such loan classes rounded to less than $1 million.

Borrowers experiencing financial difficulties are typically identified in our credit risk management process and are consequently addressed in our methodology to estimate the ALLL, which incorporates delinquencies, probability of obligor default, and loss given default. Therefore, a change to the ALLL is generally not recorded upon modification. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is reassessed or performed on the date of a modification. Upon BancShares’ determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is charged off.

At March 31, 2026, there were $174 million of loans modified in the twelve-months ended March 31, 2026, which defaulted subsequent to modification.

The following tables present the amortized cost and performance of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties for which the terms of the loan were modified during the referenced periods. The period of delinquency is based on the number of days the scheduled payment is contractually past due.

Modified Loans Payment Status (twelve months ended March 31, 2026)

Modified Loans Payment Status (twelve months ended March 31, 2025)

At March 31, 2026, there were $19 million of commitments to lend additional funds to debtors experiencing financial difficulty for which the terms of the loan were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2026. At December 31, 2025, there were $60 million of commitments to lend additional funds to debtors experiencing financial difficulty for which the terms of the loan were modified during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Loans Pledged

The following table provides information regarding loans pledged as collateral for borrowing capacity through the FHLB of Atlanta and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), and loans pledged as collateral for the Purchase Money Note to the FDIC.

Loans Pledged

(1) The draw period for the Advance Facility Agreement (an expired funding agreement between FCB and the FDIC in connection with the SVBB Acquisition) ended on March 27, 2025 so there was no available borrowing capacity at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

(2) Carrying value, net of remaining discount, for loans pledged as collateral for the Purchase Money Note.

As a member of the FHLB, FCB can access financing based on an evaluation of its creditworthiness, statement of financial position, size and eligibility of collateral. FCB may at any time grant a security interest in, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any of the assets used for collateral, provided that FCB is in compliance with the collateral maintenance requirement immediately following such disposition. There wereno outstanding advances from the FHLB at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Under borrowing arrangements with the FRB, BancShares has access to the FRB Discount Window on a secured basis. There wereno outstanding borrowings with the FRB Discount Window at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

NOTE 6 — ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The ALLL is reported as a separate line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure of $228 million and $260 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, is included in other liabilities. The provision or benefit for credit losses related to (i) loans and leases (ii) off-balance sheet credit exposure, and (iii) other receivables or investment securities available for sale, if any, is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as provision or benefit for credit losses.

The ALLL activity for loans and leases is summarized in the following table:

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The decrease of $8 million in the ALLL at March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025, was mainly driven by loan growth concentrated in capital call lines which have a significantly lower loss rate relative to our other loan portfolios, and changes in the macroeconomic scenarios, partially offset by higher reserves for individually evaluated loans.

The following table presents the components of the provision for credit losses:

NOTE 7 — LEASES

Lessee

BancShares’ leases primarily include administrative offices and bank locations. Substantially all of our operating lease liabilities relate to United States real estate leases. Our finance lease liabilities mainly relate to equipment leases, including the lease of certain ATMs. Our real estate leases have remaining lease terms of up to 32 years. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and our operating leases have renewal terms that can extend from 1 to 25 years. The options are included in the lease term when it is determined that it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.

The following table presents supplemental balance sheet information and remaining weighted average lease terms and discount rates:

Supplemental Lease Information

As of March 31, 2026, there were no leases that have not yet commenced that would have a material impact on BancShares’ consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents components of lease cost:

Components of Net Lease Cost

(1)Includes short-term lease cost.

Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

For finance leases, the right of use (“ROU”) asset is amortized straight-line over the lease term as equipment expense and interest on the lease liability is recognized separately.

Variable lease cost includes common area maintenance, property taxes, utilities, and other operating expenses related to leased premises recognized in the period in which the expense was incurred. Certain of our lease agreements also include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. While lease liabilities are not remeasured because of these changes, these adjustments are treated as variable lease costs and recognized in the period in which the expense is incurred.

Sublease income results from leasing excess building space that BancShares is no longer utilizing under operating leases, which have remaining lease terms of up to 11 years.

The following table presents supplemental cash flow information related to leases:

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Lessor

BancShares leases equipment to commercial end-users under operating lease and finance lease arrangements. The majority of operating lease equipment is long-lived rail equipment, which is typically leased several times over its life. We also lease technology and office equipment, and large and small industrial, medical, and transportation equipment under both operating leases and finance leases.

Our Rail operating leases typically do not include purchase options. Many of our finance leases, and other equipment operating leases, offer the lessee the option to purchase the equipment at fair market value or for a nominal fixed purchase option. Many of the leases that do not have a nominal purchase option include renewal provisions resulting in some leases continuing beyond the initial contractual term. Our leases typically do not include early termination options. Continued rent payments are due if leased equipment is not returned at the end of the lease.

The following table presents lease income related to BancShares’ equipment leases:

Lease Income

(1)Primarily includes per diem railcar operating lease rental income earned on a time or mileage usage basis.

(2)Includes revenue related to insurance coverage on leased equipment and leased equipment property tax reimbursements due from customers.

NOTE 8 — GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES

Goodwill

BancShares had goodwill of $346 million at March 31, 2026 and 2025. There wasno goodwill impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. Goodwill relates to the General Bank reporting segment.

Core Deposit Intangibles

Core deposit intangibles represent the estimated fair value of core deposits and other customer relationships acquired. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The following tables summarize the activity for core deposit intangibles:

Core Deposit Intangibles

The following table summarizes the accumulated amortization balance for core deposit intangibles:

Core Deposit Intangible Accumulated Amortization

The following table summarizes the expected amortization expense as of March 31, 2026 in subsequent periods for core deposit intangibles:

Core Deposit Intangible Expected Amortization

NOTE 9 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Unconsolidated VIEs

Unconsolidated VIEs include limited partnership interests and joint ventures. The table below provides a summary of the assets and liabilities included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with unconsolidated VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss for unconsolidated VIEs is generally limited to the sum of the unconsolidated VIE investment balance and off-balance sheet funding commitments. The maximum exposure to loss represents potential losses that would be incurred under hypothetical circumstances, such that the value of BancShares’ interests and any associated collateral declines to zero and assuming no recovery. BancShares believes the possibility is remote under this hypothetical scenario; accordingly, this disclosure is not an indication of expected loss.

Refer to Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies for off-balance sheet commitments to fund other tax credit investments and other unconsolidated investments.

Unconsolidated VIEs Carrying Value and Liabilities for Funding Commitments

(1) Included in other assets.

(2)Represents commitments to invest in qualified affordable housing investments. These commitments are payable on demand and included in other liabilities.

The table below summarizes the tax benefits, recognized in income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the affordable housing tax credit investments accounted for under the PAM.

Tax Benefits - PAM

(1) Amortization is included in depreciation, amortization, and accretion, net, in cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(2) The net income tax benefit is included in cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Changes in income taxes payable are reported in net change in other liabilities in cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Other Tax Credit Investments

Other tax credit investments at March 31, 2026 consisted of renewable energy tax credit investments accounted for under the HLBVM. We elected the deferral method for the tax credits and deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) related to HLBVM tax credit investments.

Refer to Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation of our 2025 Form 10-K for further discussion of the PAM, HLBVM, and deferral method.

NOTE 10 — BORROWINGS

Short-term Borrowings

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase

BancShares held $170 million and $224 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, of securities sold under agreements to repurchase that have overnight contractual maturities and are collateralized by government agency securities. The weighted average interest rate for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was 0.33% and 0.41% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

BancShares utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase to facilitate the needs for collateralization of commercial customers and secure wholesale funding needs. Repurchase agreements are transactions whereby BancShares offers to sell to a counterparty an undivided interest in an eligible security at an agreed upon purchase price, and which obligates BancShares to repurchase the security at an agreed upon date, repurchase price and interest rate. These agreements are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transactions and are reflected as securities sold under customer repurchase agreements.

BancShares monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and maintains records of each transaction specifically describing the applicable security and the counterparty’s fractional interest in that security, and segregates the security from general assets in accordance with regulations governing custodial holdings of securities. The primary risk with repurchase agreements is market risk associated with the investments securing the transactions, as additional collateral may be required based on fair value changes of the underlying investments. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with safekeeping agents. The carrying value of investment securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements was $207 million and $230 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

On March 3, 2026, the Parent Company issued and sold $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.869% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due in 2032.

In the first quarter of 2026, FCB made prepayments of $2.50 billion on the Purchase Money Note and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8 million. In April 2026, we made an additional prepayment of $500 million.

The following table presents long-term borrowings, net of the respective unamortized purchase accounting adjustments and issuance costs:

(1) The fixed rate period will end March 12, 2030, and the notes will thereafter bear a floating interest rate equal to a benchmark rate based on the Compounded Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Index Rate plus 141 basis points (“bps”) per annum until the maturity date (or date of earlier redemption).

(2) The fixed rate period will end March 3, 2031, and the notes will thereafter bear a floating interest rate equal to a benchmark rate based on the Compounded SOFR Index Rate plus 148.7 bps per annum until the maturity date (or date of earlier redemption).

(3) The interest rate will reset on September 5, 2030, and the notes will thereafter bear a fixed interest rate equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the day falling two business days prior to the notes reset date plus 185 bps per annum until the maturity date (or date of earlier redemption).

(4) The interest rate will reset on March 12, 2035, and the notes will thereafter bear a fixed interest rate equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the day falling two business days prior to the notes reset date plus 197 bps per annum until the maturity date (or date of earlier redemption).

(5) Issued in connection with the SVBB Acquisition. The unamortized discount was $95 million and $115 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Refer to Note 5—Loans and Leases for further information on loans pledged as collateral to secure borrowings.

Pledged Assets

Refer to the “Loans Pledged” section in Note 5—Loans and Leases for information on loans pledged as collateral to secure borrowings. Additionally, interest-earning deposits at banks included $194 million and $212 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, that were required minimum deposits under the Purchase Money Note.

NOTE 11 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our derivatives designated as hedging instruments include interest rate swap contracts utilized to manage our interest rate exposure for items on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This includes floating-rate loan portfolio cash flow hedges and fair value hedges of our fixed-rate borrowings.

Our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments mainly include interest rate and foreign exchange contracts that our customers utilized for their risk management needs. We typically manage our exposure to these customer derivatives by entering into offsetting or “back-to-back” interest rate and foreign exchange contracts with third-party dealers.

Derivative instruments that are cleared through certain central counterparty clearing houses are settled-to-market and reported net of collateral positions.

Refer to Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation of our 2025 Form 10-K for accounting policies for derivatives.

The following table presents notional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments:

Notional Amount and Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments

(1)Fair value balances include accrued interest.

(2)BancShares accounts for swap contracts cleared by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and LCH Clearnet as “settled-to-market.” As a result, the derivative asset and liability fair values in the table above are presented net of the variation margin payments. Refer to the table below for more information.

(3)The foreign exchange contracts exclude foreign exchange spot contracts. The notional and net fair value amounts of these contracts were $253 million and $0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026, and $252 million and $0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

(4)Other derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments include risk participation agreements and equity warrants.

The following table presents the impact of variation margin netting (form of collateral payment when the underlying fair value changes) on derivative assets and liabilities:

Variation Margin Payments

(1)BancShares’ derivative transactions are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements that allow for net settlements of certain payments as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the two parties to the transaction. BancShares believes its ISDA agreements meet the definition of a master netting arrangement or similar agreement for purposes of the above disclosure.

(2)In conjunction with the ISDA agreements described above, BancShares has entered into collateral arrangements with its counterparties, which provide for the exchange of cash depending on the change in the market valuation of the derivative contracts outstanding. Such collateral is available to be applied in settlement of the net balances upon an event of default of one of the counterparties. Collateral pledged or received is included in other assets or deposits, respectively.

Fair Value Hedges

NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Hierarchy

BancShares measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels.

Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement with Level 1 inputs considered highest and Level 3 inputs considered lowest. A brief description of each input level follows:

•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the assets or liabilities and market corroborated inputs.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs and assumptions reflect the estimates market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value - Recurring Basis

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value - Recurring Basis

(1)Derivative fair values include accrued interest.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Investment securities available for sale. The fair value of U.S. Treasury, government agency, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and a portion of the corporate bonds are generally estimated using a third-party pricing service. To obtain an understanding of the processes and methodologies used, management reviews correspondence from the third-party pricing service. Management also performs a price variance analysis process to corroborate the reasonableness of prices. The third-party provider evaluates securities based on comparable investments with trades and market data and will utilize pricing models which use a variety of inputs, such as benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers as needed. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. The remaining corporate bonds held are generally measured at fair value based on indicative bids from broker-dealers using inputs that are not directly observable. These securities are classified as Level 3.

Marketable equity securities. Equity securities are measured at fair value using observable closing prices. Equity securities are classified as Level 1 if they are traded in an active market and as Level 2 if the observable closing price is from a less than active market.

Loansand Loans held for sale. Certain residential real estate loans originated for sale to investors are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices for similar types of loans, which are considered Level 2 inputs. In instances when loans are not sold and subsequently transferred to portfolio, accounting at fair value is continued.

Derivative Assetsand Liabilities. Derivatives were valued using models that incorporate inputs depending on the type of derivative. Other than the fair value of equity warrants and credit derivatives, which were estimated using Level 3 inputs, most derivative instruments were valued using Level 2 inputs based on observed pricing for similar assets and liabilities and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Refer to Note 11—Derivative Financial Instruments for notional amounts and fair values.

The following tables summarize information about significant unobservable inputs related to BancShares’ categories of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements - Recurring Basis

The following table summarizes the changes in estimated fair value for all assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Changes in Estimated Fair Value of Level 3 Financial Assets and Liabilities - Recurring Basis

Fair Value Option

The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) for residential mortgage loans originated for sale measured at fair value:

Aggregate Fair Value and UPB - Residential Mortgage Loans

(1) Originated loans held for sale include loans held for sale and loans originated for sale but transferred to portfolio and held for investment.

BancShares has elected the fair value option for residential mortgage loans originated for sale. This election reduces certain timing differences in the Consolidated Statements of Income and better aligns with the management of the portfolio from a business perspective. The changes in fair value that were recorded as a component of other noninterest income were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Interest earned on originated loans held for sale is recorded within interest income on loans and leases in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

No originated loans held for sale were 90 or more days past due or on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Assets Measured at Estimated Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain assets or liabilities are required to be measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition. Generally, these adjustments are the result of lower of cost or fair value (“LOCOM”) or other impairment accounting. The following table presents carrying value of assets measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis for which gains and losses have been recorded in the periods. The gains and losses reflect amounts recorded for the respective periods, regardless of whether the asset is still held at period end.

Assets Measured at Fair Value - Non-recurring Basis

Certain other assets are adjusted to their fair value on a non-recurring basis, including certain loans, OREO, and goodwill, which are periodically tested for impairment. Most loans held for investment, deposits, and borrowings are not reported at fair value.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

Assets held for sale - loans. Loans held for investment subsequently transferred to held for sale are carried at the LOCOM. When available, the fair values for the transferred loans are based on quoted prices from the purchase commitments for the individual loans being transferred and are considered Level 1 inputs in instances where there is an active market, or Level 2 when there is no active market. The fair value of Level 2 assets may also be estimated based on prices of recent trades of similar assets. For other loans held for sale, the fair value of Level 3 assets was primarily measured under the income approach using the discounted cash flow model based on Level 3 inputs including discount rate or the price of committed trades. Gains and losses are recorded in noninterest income.

Loans - collateral dependent loans. The population of Level 3 loans measured at fair value that are experiencing financial difficulty and measured on a non-recurring basis includes collateral-dependent loans evaluated individually. Collateral values are determined using appraisals or other third-party value estimates of the subject property discounted based on estimated selling costs, and adjustments for other external factors that may impact the marketability of the collateral. Gains and losses generally reflect the required net provision and charge-offs specific to the loans included in the population for the respective periods and are recorded in the provision for credit losses.

Other real estate owned. OREO is carried at LOCOM. OREO asset valuations are determined by using appraisals or other third-party value estimates of the subject property with discounts, generally between 7% and 14%, applied for estimated selling costs and other external factors that may impact the marketability of the property. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the weighted average discount applied was 9.84% and 7.86%, respectively. Changes to the value of the assets between scheduled valuation dates are monitored through continued communication with brokers and monthly reviews by the asset manager assigned to each asset. If there are any significant changes in the market or the subject property, valuations are adjusted or new appraisals are ordered to ensure the reported values reflect the most current information.

Financial Instruments Fair Value

The table below presents the carrying values and estimated fair values for financial instruments, excluding leases and certain other assets and liabilities for which these disclosures are not required.

Carrying Values and Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not discussed elsewhere are as follows:

Interest-earning Deposits at Banks. The carrying value of interest-earning deposits at banks approximates its fair value due to its short-term nature and is classified on the fair value hierarchy as Level 1. The balances at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 included $194 million and $212 million, respectively, as a required minimum deposit under the Purchase Money Note.

Net loans. The carrying value of net loans is net of the ALLL. Loans are generally valued by discounting expected cash flows using market inputs with adjustments based on cohort level assumptions for certain loan types as well as internally developed estimates at a business segment level. Due to the significance of the unobservable market inputs and assumptions, as well as the absence of a liquid secondary market for most loans, these loans are classified as Level 3. Certain loans are measured based on observable market prices sourced from external data providers and classified as Level 2. Nonaccrual loans are written down and reported at their estimated recovery value, which approximates their fair value, and classified as Level 3.

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell. The fair value of securities purchased under agreements to resell equal the carrying value due to the short term nature, generally overnight, and therefore present an insignificant risk of change in fair value due to changes in market interest rate, and classified as Level 2.

Investment securities held to maturity. BancShares’ portfolio of debt securities held to maturity consists of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, U.S. Treasury notes, unsecured bonds issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, and securities issued by the Supranational Entities & Multilateral Development Banks. We primarily use prices obtained from pricing services to determine the fair value of securities, which are Level 2 inputs.

FHLB stock. The carrying amount of FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as these securities are not readily marketable and are evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares considers positive and negative evidence, including the profitability and asset quality of the issuer, dividend payment history and recent redemption experience, when determining the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares investment in FHLB stock is ultimately recoverable at par. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for the FHLB stock are considered Level 2 inputs.

Mortgage servicing rights. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is determined using a pooling methodology. Similar loans are pooled together and a model which relies on discount rates, estimates of prepayment rates and the weighted average cost to service the loans is used to determine the fair value. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for MSRs are considered Level 3 inputs.

Deposits. The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposit accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts was the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits was estimated based on a discounted cash flow technique using Level 2 inputs appropriate to the contractual maturity.

Credit balances of factoring clients. The impact of the time value of money from the unobservable discount rate for credit balances of factoring clients is inconsequential due to the short term nature of these balances, therefore, the fair value approximated carrying value, and the credit balances are classified as Level 3.

Short-term borrowed funds. The fair value of short-term borrowed funds, which includes repurchase agreements, approximates carrying value and are classified as Level 2.

Long-term borrowings. For certain long-term senior and subordinated unsecured borrowings, the fair values are sourced from a third-party pricing service. The fair values of other long-term borrowings are determined by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for FHLB borrowings, senior and subordinated debentures, and other borrowings are classified as Level 2.

For all other financial assets and financial liabilities, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The carrying value and fair value for these assets and liabilities are equivalent because they are relatively short-term in nature and there is no interest rate or credit risk that would cause the fair value to differ from the carrying value. Cash and due from banks is classified as Level 1. Accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable are classified as Level 2.

NOTE 15 — EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share:

Earnings per Common Share

NOTE 16 — INCOME TAXES

BancShares’ global effective income tax rates (“ETRs”) were 24.3% and 25.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in the ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to a reduction in the state and local income tax rate and an increase in the benefit from tax credits.

The quarterly income tax expense is based on a projection of BancShares’ annual ETR. This annual ETR is applied to the year-to-date consolidated pretax income to determine the interim provision for income taxes before discrete items. The ETR each period is also impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and international earnings, effects of changes in enacted tax laws, adjustments to the valuation allowances, and discrete items. The currently forecasted ETR may vary from the actual year-end 2026 ETR due to the changes in these factors.

Uncertain Tax Benefits

BancShares recognizes tax benefits when it is more likely than not that the position will prevail, based solely on the technical merits under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction. BancShares will recognize the tax benefit if the position meets this recognition threshold determined based on the largest amount of the benefit that is more than likely to be recognized.

Deferred Tax Assets and Valuation Adjustments

BancShares’ ability to recognize DTAs is evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine if there are any significant events that would affect our ability to utilize existing DTAs. If events are identified that affect our ability to utilize our DTAs, changes to the valuation allowance may be required.

NOTE 17 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

BancShares sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans and supplemental and executive retirement plans for its qualifying employees. The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in salaries and wages, while all other non-service cost components are included in other noninterest expense.

The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

Net Periodic Benefit Costs

NOTE 18 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

BancShares’ segments include the General Bank, the Commercial Bank, and Rail. All other financial information not included in the segments is reported in the Corporate section of the segment disclosures. We do not aggregate multiple operating segments into a reportable segment. Therefore, each of our operating segments are reportable segments.

Under our segment expense allocation methodology, allocated expenses increase noninterest expense of the applicable segment(s), with an offsetting decrease to Corporate noninterest expense. “All other noninterest expense” in the segment reporting tables below includes the effect of allocated expenses, resulting in a reduction to expense (or “Contra Expense”) for Corporate.

General Bank

The General Bank segment delivers products and services to consumer and small business clients through our extensive network of branches and various digital channels. We offer a full suite of deposit products, loans (primarily residential mortgages and business and commercial loans), cash management, private banking, wealth management, payment services, and treasury services. We offer conforming and jumbo residential mortgage loans throughout the United States that are primarily originated through branches and retail referrals, employee referrals, internet leads, direct marketing and a correspondent lending channel, as well as through our private banking teams. Our wealth and private banking business offers a customized suite of products and services to individuals and institutional clients, as well as private equity and venture capital professionals and executive leaders of the innovation companies they support. Offerings include brokerage, investment advisory, private stock loans, other secured and unsecured lending products and vineyard development loans, as well as planning-based financial strategies, family office, financial planning, tax planning and trust services. The General Bank segment also includes a community association bank business that supports deposit, cash management and lending to homeowner associations and property management companies.

Revenue is primarily generated from interest income on loans and leases. Noninterest income is primarily generated from fees for banking and advisory services, including lending-related fees, most of the deposit fees and service charges and cardholder services, along with essentially all of the wealth management services income. We primarily originate loans by utilizing our branch network and industry referrals, as well as direct digital marketing efforts. We derive our SBA loans through a network of SBA originators. We periodically purchase loans on a whole-loan basis. We also invest in community development that supports the construction of affordable housing in our communities in line with our Community Reinvestment Act initiatives.

Commercial Bank

The Commercial Bank segment provides a range of lending, leasing, capital markets, asset management, and other financial and advisory services, primarily tailored to commercial and middle market companies in a wide range of industries, including energy, healthcare, technology media and telecommunications, maritime, and aerospace and defense. Loans offered are primarily senior secured loans collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, transportation equipment, and/or intangibles, and are often used for working capital, plant expansion, acquisitions, or recapitalizations. These loans include revolving lines of credit and term loans and, depending on the nature of the collateral, may be referred to as collateral-backed loans, asset-based loans or cash flow loans. We provide senior secured loans to developers and other commercial real estate professionals. Additionally, we provide business loans and leases, including both capital and operating leases, through a highly automated credit approval, documentation and funding process.

Commercial Bank also includes products and services offered to commercial clients and investors across stages, sectors and regions in the innovation ecosystem, as well as private equity and venture capital firms. Loan products are offered through Global Fund Banking and Technology and Healthcare Banking and consist of capital call lines of credit, investor dependent loans, and commercial and industrial loans made primarily to technology, life science and healthcare companies.

We also provide factoring, receivable management, supply chain financing, and secured financing to businesses that operate in several industries. These include apparel, textile, furniture, home furnishings, and consumer electronics. See further disclosure on factoring in Note 21—Segment Information in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Revenue is primarily generated from interest income on loans and leases. Noninterest income is mostly generated from rental income on operating lease equipment, lending-related fees, including most of the capital market fees and international fees, essentially all of the client investment fees, and other revenue from banking services. Noninterest income also includes all of the commissions earned on factoring-related activities. We derive our commercial lending business through direct marketing to borrowers, lessees, manufacturers, vendors, and distributors, as well as through our private equity and venture capital relationships. We also utilize referrals as a source for commercial lending business and may periodically buy participations or syndications of loans and lines of credit, or purchase loans on a whole-loan basis.

Rental income and depreciation expense on operating lease equipment is related to small and large ticket equipment we own and lease to others. Rental income is generally influenced by the size of the operating lease portfolio. Operating lease equipment is subject to depreciation expense over the useful life of the small and large ticket equipment, which is generally 3-10 years.

We offer a full suite of commercial deposit products and services through online and mobile banking platforms, as well as physical locations.

Rail

The Rail segment offers customized leasing and financing solutions on a fleet of railcars and locomotives to railroads and shippers throughout North America. Railcar types include covered hopper cars used to ship grain and agricultural products, plastic pellets, sand, and cement; tank cars for energy products and chemicals; gondolas for coal, steel coil and mill service products; open-top hopper cars for coal and aggregates; boxcars for paper and auto parts; and centerbeams and flat cars for lumber. Revenue is generated primarily from rental income on operating lease equipment, which is included in noninterest income, and to a lesser extent, gains on sale of leasing equipment. Rental income is generally influenced by the size of the operating lease portfolio, utilization of the railcars, re-pricing of equipment renewed upon lease maturities, and pricing on new leases. Re-pricing refers to the rental rate in the renewed equipment contract compared to the prior contract.

Operating lease equipment is subject to depreciation expense over the useful life of the rail equipment, which is generally longer in duration,40-50 years. The Rail segment leases railcars, primarily pursuant to full-service lease contracts under which we, as lessor, are responsible for railcar maintenance and repair. Maintenance and other operating lease expenses relate to equipment ownership and leasing costs associated with the railcar portfolio and tend to be variable due to timing and the number of railcars coming on or off lease as well as asset condition.

Corporate

All other financial information not included in the segments is reported in Corporate. Corporate contains BancShares’ centralized treasury function, which manages the investment security portfolio, interest-earning deposits at banks and corporate/wholesale funding (e.g., borrowings, Direct Bank deposits and brokered deposits). Corporate deposits are primarily comprised of Direct Bank deposits.

Corporate includes interest income on investment securities and interest-earning deposits at banks; interest expense for borrowings, Direct Bank deposits, and brokered deposits; as well as funds transfer pricing allocations. Noninterest income includes gains or losses on sales of investment securities, fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities, and income from bank owned life insurance. Personnel cost in Corporate includes the personnel costs not allocated to the operating segments. Corporate includes acquisition-related expenses and certain items related to accounting for business combinations, such as gains on acquisitions, and discount accretion income for certain acquired loans. Corporate also includes the offsetting impacts of allocated expenses as discussed above.

Segment Results and Select Period End Balances

The following tables present the condensed income statements by segment and include the significant segment expenses and measure of segment profit or loss.

NOTE 19 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

To meet the financing needs of its customers, BancShares and its subsidiaries have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments involve elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk and include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

The accompanying table summarizes credit-related commitments and other purchase and funding commitments:

(1)BancShares’ purchase and funding commitments relate to the Rail segment commitments to fund railcar manufacturer purchase and upgrade commitments.

Financing Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Established credit standards control the credit risk exposure associated with these commitments. In some cases, BancShares requires collateral be pledged to secure the commitment, including cash deposits, securities and other assets.

Financing commitments, referred to as net unfunded loan commitments or lines of credit, primarily reflect BancShares’ agreements to lend to its customers, subject to the customers’ compliance with contractual obligations. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, substantially all undrawn financing commitments were senior facilities. Financing commitments also include $299 million and $360 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to off-balance sheet commitments to fund other tax credit investments and other unconsolidated investments. These off-balance sheet investment commitments are contingent on events that have yet to occur and may be subject to change.

As financing commitments may not be fully drawn, may expire unused, may be reduced or canceled at the customer’s request, and may require the customer to be in compliance with certain conditions, commitment amounts do not necessarily reflect actual future cash flow requirements.

The table above excludes uncommitted revolving credit facilities extended by Commercial Services to its clients for working capital purposes. In connection with these facilities, Commercial Services has the sole discretion throughout the duration of these facilities to determine the amount of credit that may be made available to its clients at any time and whether to honor any specific advance requests made by its clients under these credit facilities.

Letters of Credit

Standby letters of credit are commitments to pay the beneficiary thereof if drawn upon by the beneficiary upon satisfaction of the terms of the letter of credit. Those commitments are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. To mitigate its risk, BancShares’ credit policies govern the issuance of standby letters of credit. The credit risk related to the issuance of these letters of credit is essentially the same as in extending loans to clients and, therefore, these letters of credit are collateralized when necessary. These financial instruments generate fees and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred Purchase Agreements

A deferred purchase agreement (“DPA”) is provided in conjunction with factoring, whereby a client is provided with credit protection for trade receivables without purchasing the receivables. The trade receivables terms generally require payment in 90 days or less. If the client’s customer is unable to pay an undisputed receivable solely as the result of credit risk, BancShares is then required to purchase the receivable from the client, less any borrowings for such client based on such defaulted receivable. The outstanding amount in the table above, less $152 million and $211 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, of borrowings for such clients, is the maximum amount that BancShares would be required to pay under all DPAs. This maximum amount would only occur if all receivables subject to DPAs default in the manner described above, thereby requiring BancShares to purchase all such receivables from the DPA clients.

The table above includes $1.58 billion and $1.71 billion of DPA exposures at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to receivables on which BancShares has assumed the credit risk. The table also includes $4 million and $13 million available under DPA credit line agreements provided at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The DPA credit line agreements specify a contractually committed amount of DPA credit protection and are cancellable by us only after a notice period, which is typically 90 days or less.

Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Parent Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as a defendant in legal actions arising from its normal business activities in which damages in various amounts are claimed. BancShares is also exposed to litigation risk relating to the prior business activities of banks from which assets were acquired and liabilities assumed.

BancShares is involved, and from time to time in the future may be involved, in a number of pending and threatened judicial, regulatory, and arbitration proceedings as well as proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. These matters arise in connection with the ordinary conduct of BancShares’ business. At any given time, BancShares may also be in the process of responding to subpoenas, requests for documents, data and testimony relating to such matters and engaging in discussions to resolve the matters (all of the foregoing collectively being referred to as “Litigation”). While most Litigation relates to individual claims, BancShares may be subject to putative class action claims and similar broader claims and indemnification obligations.

In light of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of Litigation matters and indemnification obligations, particularly when such matters are in their early stages or where the claimants seek indeterminate damages, BancShares cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of the pending Litigation will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines, or penalties related to each pending matter will be, if any. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, BancShares’ establishes reserves for Litigation when those matters present loss contingencies as to which it is both probable that a loss will occur and the amount of such loss can reasonably be estimated. The actual results of resolving such matters may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved.

For certain Litigation matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, BancShares is able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in excess of any established reserve, or for which there is no established reserve. Management currently estimates an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses to be up to approximately $25 million in excess of any established reserves. This estimate represents reasonably possible losses (in excess of any established reserves) over the life of such Litigation, which may span a currently indeterminable number of years, and is based on information currently available as of March 31, 2026. The Litigation matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. For certain other Litigation matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, BancShares is not able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses.

Based on information currently available as of March 31, 2026, those Litigation matters for which BancShares is not able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses or as to which a loss does not appear to be reasonably possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent BancShares’ maximum loss exposure.

The foregoing statements about BancShares’ Litigation are based on BancShares’ judgments, assumptions, and estimates and are necessarily subjective and uncertain. In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these cases, matters, and proceedings, if unfavorable, may be material to BancShares’ consolidated financial position in a particular period.
