MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT & CEO

CONTENTS

Busey posted strong results this quarter with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.67, up 17.5% year-over-year, and continued strong profitability as adjusted return on average assets2 improved by 33 basis points to 1.42% and adjusted ROATCE improved by 287 basis points to 14.12%. Net interest margin2 continued its expansion, up 6 basis points quarter-over-quarter, to 3.77%. Wealth management fee income had another record quarter, with net inflows offsetting lower market valuations and sustaining relatively stable assets under care. Expenses remained well controlled as we identified, and executed on, additional synergies related to the CrossFirst acquisition, with the efficiency ratio improving 390 basis points from last year, to 54.8%. Capital remained strong with Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets3 at 12.31%, even after significant share repurchases of $65.6 million during the quarter. Tangible book value per common share2 grew 8.2% year-over-year to $20.14. As expected, loan and deposit balances were down seasonally. Credit remained strong with non-performing assets down 14.0% quarter-over-quarter and the ratio of allowance to loans was stable at 1.26%. As we look ahead to the rest of the year, we have significant momentum with the addition of talent to the organization, and new business pipelines are building. With robust capital and ample liquidity, Busey remains well positioned to drive meaningful value for our associates, clients, communities, and shareholders in this volatile macro environment.

During the first quarter of 2026, salaries, wages, and employee benefits expenses were elevated as Busey identified, and executed on, additional synergies related to the CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. (“CrossFirst”) acquisition and also due to the previously announced departure of Michael J. Maddox.

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders,2 which excludes the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, was $58.6 million, or $0.67 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $60.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $39.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025. Annualized adjusted return on average assets2 and annualized adjusted return on average tangible common equity2 were 1.42% and 14.12%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026.

Pre-provision net revenue2 was $67.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $80.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $28.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. Pre-provision net revenue to average assets2 was 1.52% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.75% for the fourth quarter of 2025, and 0.78% for the first quarter of 2025.

Adjusted pre-provision net revenue2 was $84.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $85.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $54.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue to average assets2 was 1.89% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.85% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 1.50% for the first quarter of 2025.

About First Busey Corporation (BUSE) Earnings

This page provides First Busey Corporation (BUSE) earnings call transcripts from SEC 8-K filings along with AI-powered predictions for post-earnings price movements. Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on BUSE's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
