2025 Annual Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Strong Net Income Growth Net income available to common shareholders rose to $641.9M in 2025, up $66.0M from 2024, driven by NII growth.
Net Interest Margin Expansion Taxable-equivalent NIM improved 13 basis points to 3.66% in 2025, benefiting from lower average funding costs across deposit products.
Improved Asset Quality Metrics Non-accrual loans decreased to 0.32% of total loans by year-end 2025, while credit loss expense dropped significantly to $44.2M.
Robust Capital Adequacy Maintained Cullen/Frost maintained strong capital levels; CET1 ratio reached 14.06% for the holding company, exceeding minimum requirements comfortably.

Risk Factors

Commercial Real Estate Concentration CRE loans comprise 47.1% of the loan portfolio; adverse market conditions could increase delinquencies and losses materially.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Exposure Earnings remain highly dependent on net interest income, sensitive to rapid changes in market rates affecting loan yields and deposit costs.
Regulatory Compliance Costs Rising Extensive federal and state regulation subjects the bank to ongoing scrutiny, increasing compliance costs and potential enforcement actions.
Negative Publicity Risk Exposure Reputation risk inherent in banking, sensitive to conduct, regulatory compliance, or external negative information dissemination speed.

Outlook

Federal Reserve Rate Projections Fed projections imply federal funds rate midpoint falling to 3.4% by end of 2026, potentially easing pressure on funding costs.
Future Credit Loss Uncertainty ACL adequacy depends on subjective management judgment and macroeconomic forecasts; future charge-offs could exceed current allowances.
Competitive Fintech Environment Increased competition from fintechs and digital banking growth may pressure pricing and deposit acquisition strategies moving forward.
Cybersecurity Threat Escalation Risks from cyber-attacks, including quantum computing threats, are expected to remain elevated, requiring continuous security investment.
