NM – Not Meaningful * Annualized ** These market value adjustments relate to assets held for employee and director benefits that are effectively offset within salaries and employee benefits and other non-interest expense.

While total revenue has increased versus the first quarter of 2025, it decreased 2 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Net interest income decreased 3 percent driven primarily by fewer days in the quarter and elevated non-recurring items in the prior quarter that did not repeat. Total net interest margin was also negatively impacted by tighter asset spreads associated with higher-quality asset growth contributing to a 3 basis point decrease to 3.67 percent.

Non-interest income decreased 2 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ during the first quarter. Capital markets increased 5 percent in the first quarter attributable to higher loan syndication and securities underwriting activity, as well as commercial swap income. Bank-owned life insurance increased 30 percent primarily due to higher claims income. Service charges, wealth management and mortgage income remained relatively stable compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Card and ATM fees decreased 5 percent due primarily to seasonally lower activity. Other miscellaneous income also decreased during the quarter attributable primarily to commercial lease sales activity with $6 million of gains recognized in the prior quarter compared to $7 million of losses recognized in the current quarter.

NM – Not Meaningful * The company holds assets in order to effectively offset the market value adjustments on supplemental 401(k) liabilities and the market value adjustments on those assets are recorded in non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses decreased 3 percent on a reported basis and 4 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting broad-based improvement across most expense categories. Salaries and benefits remained relatively stable as declines in market value adjustments for supplemental employee benefit liabilities offset the seasonal increases in payroll taxes, 401(k) contributions, and one month of merit. FDIC insurance assessments increased $16 million attributable to an adjustment for the company’s FDIC special insurance assessment recognized in the prior quarter. The company’s first quarter efficiency ratio was 56.6 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis⁽¹⁾.

Average loans increased 1 percent while ending loans increased 2 percent compared to the prior quarter. Average business loans increased 2 percent during the quarter while average consumer loans decreased 1 percent. Growth was driven by broad-based C&I lending including power and utilities, manufacturing, healthcare and asset-based lending. Approximately half of this quarter’s growth came from higher line utilization, with the remainder of the balance driven by new loans, primarily with existing clients. Loan growth was also very high quality as almost two-thirds were investment grade credits and the majority of the remaining were near investment grade credits.

The company’s deposit base continues to be a source of strength and an industry differentiator in liquidity and margin performance. Ending deposits increased approximately 1 percent while average deposits increased modestly during the quarter. Average corporate deposits increased 1 percent, while average consumer and wealth deposits remained relatively stable. Ending consumer deposits increased over 1 percent reflecting typical seasonal patterns associated primarily with income tax refunds, as well as the focus on customer acquisition and priority markets.

* Excludes fully guaranteed residential first mortgages that are 90+ days past due and still accruing. ** Business services represents the combined total of commercial and investor real estate loans.

Overall asset quality continues to demonstrate improvement. Based on recent discussions with commercial clients and ongoing relationship-manager engagement, customer sentiment remains generally optimistic, and consumer fundamentals continue to be sound. Aggregate spending trends among Regions’ consumer customers are stable to modestly positive, and labor market conditions show no indications of material weakness.

Net charge-offs were $130 million or an annualized 54 basis points of average loans, representing a 5 basis point decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The majority of business services charge-offs came from previously identified portfolios of interest with established reserves. Business services criticized loans and non-performing loans remained relatively stable with the ratio of non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans declining 2 basis points to 0.71 percent and the ratio of business services criticized loans as a percentage of total business loans declining 16 basis points to 5.15 percent.

Allowance increases tied to loan growth and greater macroeconomic uncertainty were more than offset by meaningful progress in resolving loans within previously identified portfolios of interest, sustained risk-rating upgrades exceeding downgrades, and continued improvement in business services criticized and total non-performing loan ratios. As a result, the allowance for credit losses declined $39 million. Strengthening asset quality across portfolios, combined with high-quality loan growth, drove an 8 basis point reduction in the allowance ratio to 1.68 percent, while coverage of non-performing loans remained solid at 238 percent.

Regions maintained a solid capital position in the first quarter with estimated capital ratios remaining well above current regulatory requirements. At quarter-end, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1)⁽²⁾ and Tier 1 capital⁽²⁾ ratios were estimated at 10.7 percent and 11.7 percent respectively. Including the impacts of accumulated other comprehensive income, CET1⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ was estimated at 9.4 percent.

During the first quarter, the company repurchased approximately 14 million shares of common stock for a total of $401 million through open-market purchases and declared $227 million in dividends to common shareholders.

Tangible common book value per share⁽¹⁾ ended the quarter at $13.69, an 11 percent increase year-over-year.

The company’s liquidity position also remained robust with total available liquidity as of March 31, 2026, of approximately $68 billion, which includes cash held at the Federal Reserve, FHLB borrowing capacity, unencumbered securities, and capacity at the Federal Reserve’s facilities such as the Discount Window or Standing Repo Operations. These sources are sufficient to cover uninsured deposits at a ratio of approximately 178 percent as of quarter-end (excluding intercompany and secured deposits).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP), return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP), adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP), common equity Tier 1 ratio (inclusive of AOCI) (non-GAAP), as well as adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted fee income ratio. Adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP) and adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP) are used to determine adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP). Net interest income (GAAP) on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the adjusted fee income and adjusted efficiency ratios. Net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments, net of tax, to arrive at adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP). Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) by the average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP). Net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments, net of tax, to arrive at adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity. Adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing the adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP) by the average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP). Adjusted common equity Tier 1 ratio (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing the adjusted common equity tier 1 (non-GAAP), which is arrived at by excluding the AOCI loss on securities and AOCI loss on defined benefit pension plans and other post employment benefits from common equity Tier 1, by the company’s total risk-weighted assets (GAAP).

Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions’ business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the company on the same basis as that applied by management. Tangible common book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) by tangible assets (non-GAAP). The numerator for tangible book value per share (non-GAAP), tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP), is calculated by excluding intangible assets and the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets from common shareholders’ equity (GAAP). The denominator for tangible book value per share (non-GAAP), tangible assets (non-GAAP), is calculated by excluding intangible assets and the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets from total assets (non-GAAP).

Tangible common shareholders’ equity ratios have become a focus of some investors and management believes they may assist investors in analyzing the capital position of the company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common shareholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common shareholders’ equity is not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in any amount by federal banking regulations it is currently considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it differently than Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of earnings that excludes selected items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders. Additionally, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and there is no certainty that we will not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in the calculations of non-GAAP financial measures presented herein.

Management and the Board of Directors utilize non-GAAP measures as follows:

• Preparation of Regions’ operating budgets

• Monthly financial performance reporting

• Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results (management only)

• Presentation to investors of company performance

• Metrics for incentive compensation

See the company’s Financial Supplement, included as Exhibit 99.2 to the company’s Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2026, for reconciliations of and additional information regarding the company’s non-GAAP financial measures.
