Operating net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $100.6 million(1), or $0.55 per diluted share(1), an increase of $5.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in comparison to the first quarter of 2025.

Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $187.1 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, an increase of $35.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Operating net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $196.1 million(1), or $1.07 per diluted share(1), an increase of $48.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

"I'm proud that our team has delivered a new company record, with operating net income of $100.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, this past quarter," said Curt Myers, Chairman and CEO of Fulton. "Our community banking strategy continues to provide significant value to customers and has once again resulted in strong bottom-line results for the company."

Financial Highlights

Second quarter of 2025 operating results of $0.55 per diluted share were impacted by the following items:

•Solid net interest margin of 3.47%, with a two basis point decrease in total cost of funds compared to the prior quarter.

•Non-interest income increased $1.9 million to $69.1 million compared to $67.2 million in the prior quarter.

•Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million to $192.8 million compared to $189.5 million in the prior quarter. Operating non-interest expense increased $4.8 million to $187.6 million(1) compared to $182.9 million in the prior quarter.

•Provision for credit losses was $8.6 million resulting in an allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans of $377.3 million, or 1.57% of total net loans as of June 30, 2025.

•Net loans increased $150.0 million, or 2.5% annualized, compared to the prior quarter.

•Common equity tier 1 capital ratio(2) increased to approximately 11.3% compared to 11.1% in the prior quarter.

The following items highlight notable changes in the components of net income in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025:

•Net interest income totaled $254.9 million, an increase of $3.7 million. Increases of $2.2 million in interest income on investment securities and $1.8 million in interest income on net loans were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in interest income on other interest-earning assets. A $1.7 million decrease in interest expense on deposits was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in interest expense on borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Purchase loan mark accretion from loans acquired in the Acquisition(3) was $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $13.1 million in the prior quarter.

•Non-interest income before investment securities gains (losses) was $69.1 million compared to $67.2 million in the prior quarter. The $1.9 million increase was primarily due to increases of $0.9 million in mortgage banking income, $0.8 million in merchant and card fee income, $0.6 million in cash management fee income, $0.5 million in overdraft fee income, $0.5 million in wealth management revenues, $0.5 million in other consumer deposit banking fees, $0.4 million in debit card fee income and $0.4 million in commercial customer interest rate derivative fee income, reflected in capital markets income, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in income from equity method investments, reflected in other income.

•Non-interest expense was $192.8 million compared to $189.5 million in the prior quarter. The $3.4 million increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense largely due to annual merit increases taking effect at the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, one additional calendar day in the second quarter of 2025 and an increase in incentive compensation expense. Additional drivers of the increase in non-interest expense included a $3.2 million increase in professional fees largely driven by a recovery of previously incurred fees in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by decreases of $1.8 million in net occupancy costs largely due to a decrease in snow removal expense, $0.7

•Net interest income totaled $251.2 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, primarily due to a decline in short-term interest rates and day count. A decrease in interest income on net loans of $13.0 million was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities of $12.2 million. A $4.3 million decrease in interest income on other interest-earning assets was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in interest income on investment securities.

Excluding the FultonFirst implementation and asset disposal-related expense, the decrease in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $4.4 million decrease in professional fees driven by a recovery of previously incurred fees, a $3.7 million decrease in employee salaries and benefits expense primarily related to cost savings realized in connection with the Acquisition and the FultonFirst initiative.

Balance Sheet Summary

•Net loans totaled $23.9 billion, a decrease of $182.3 million, compared to $24.0 billion as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in net loans was due to a $244.3 million net decrease in commercial and other loans(4) partially offset by a $62.0 million increase in consumer loans(4). The decrease in commercial and other loans was partially due to the payoff in the quarter of $94.2 million of special mention loans and substandard loans.

The following items highlight notable changes in the components of net income in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024:

•Net interest income totaled $258.0 million, an increase of $16.3 million, which was largely due to the full-quarter impact of the Acquisition and an increase in on-balance sheet liquidity.

•Non-interest income before investment securities gains (losses) was $59.7 million compared to $113.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $55.1 million change in the gain on acquisition (net of tax) with a $7.7 million reduction recorded in the third quarter of 2024.

•Non-interest expense was $226.1 million compared to $219.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, excluding the $20.3 million gain on the sale-leaseback transaction, reflected in other expense in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was largely due to an $8.2 million increase in salaries and benefits expense driven by a $4.9 million increase in employee severance costs related to the FultonFirst initiative, a full-quarter impact of salaries and benefits from the Acquisition resulting in an increase of $2.7 million and a $1.7 million increase in incentive compensation expense. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in consulting costs related to the FultonFirst initiative.

Balance Sheet Summary

•Net loans totaled $24.2 billion, an increase of $69.8 million compared to $24.1 billion as of June 30, 2024.

Excluding the impact from the day 1 Purchased Credit Deteriorated ("PCD") adjustment of $55.9 million and purchase accounting accretion of $24.9 million, net loans acquired in the Acquisition declined approximately $82.3 million since the Acquisition Date. Excluding purchase accounting accretion of $14.5 million, net loans acquired in the Acquisition declined approximately $49.2 million to $2.5 billion, compared to the second quarter of 2024.

•Deposits totaled $26.2 billion, an increase of $592.5 million compared to $25.6 billion as of June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases of $374.2 million, $301.4 million and $177.1 million in time deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits, respectively, partially offset by decreases of $152.5 million in brokered deposits and $107.7 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Net Interest Income and Balance Sheet

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $206.9 million, a decrease of $5.1 million in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2023, due to slight decreases in both average interest-earning assets and the net interest margin.

Total average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2024 were $25.6 billion, a decrease of $41.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily driven by a decrease in average investment securities and average other interest-earning assets of $137.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in average net loans of $114.3 million.

Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $347.9 million to $18.9 billion in the first quarter of 2024 in comparison to $18.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was driven by an increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits and the average balance of borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities of $281.2 million and $66.6 million, respectively.

The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 decreased four basis points to 3.32% in comparison to 3.36% in the fourth quarter of 2023.

A seven basis point increase in the yield on average net loans and an increase in the average balance of net loans of $114.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 drove an increase in interest income of $1.5 million to $339.7 million in comparison to $338.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Interest income for the first quarter of 2024 increased by $49.8 million to $339.7 million in comparison to $289.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by rising interest rates resulting in an increase in interest income from net loans of $50.6 million.
