CEO Commentary

Stacy Kymes, President and CEO, stated, “I am proud of the strong results our team delivered this quarter, highlighted by the highest quarterly loan production in the Company’s history. Loans increased nearly $900 million during the quarter and are up 11.5% from a year ago, driven by diverse growth across business lines and geographies. Core net interest income increased, margins remained stable, and our fee generating businesses continue to provide meaningful support. In fact, our Fiduciary and Asset Management business posted record revenue this quarter. Our consistent performance is rooted in a strong risk management culture, and our unique geographic footprint continues to create opportunities to grow faster than peers while maintaining our disciplined approach."

Net interest income was $351.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $9.3 million over the prior quarter. Net interest margin expanded to 2.91% from 2.90%. For the second quarter of 2026, our core net interest margin excluding trading activities¹, a non-GAAP measure, decreased 2 basis points to 3.13% compared to 3.15% in the prior quarter. Net interest margin benefited from favorable repricing of fixed-rate assets and deposits. During the quarter, these positive drivers were partially offset by a 3 basis point impact from cash margin posted on behalf of our energy customers as oil prices increased during the quarter.

Other Operating Revenue

Fees and commissions revenue totaled $202.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, decreasing $7.8 million compared to the prior quarter.

Brokerage and trading revenue decreased $11.2 million to $32.5 million. Trading fees and commissions revenue decreased $12.7 million due to lower trading volumes resulting from interest rate market volatility during the quarter. Customer hedging revenue decreased $1.1 million, primarily due to a decline in hedging activity from our energy customers. Investment banking revenue increased $3.2 million, largely related to the timing and volume of completed loan syndication transactions.

Fiduciary and asset management revenue increased $4.5 million, primarily related to seasonal tax preparation fee income combined with increased trust fees from higher market valuations and growth in client relationships.

Mortgage banking revenue decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to lower refinancing activity. Production revenue as a percentage of production volume decreased 65 basis points to 0.83%.

Deposit service charges and fees grew $1.1 million, largely due to an increase in the volume of transactions during the quarter.

Other gains (losses), net, were a net gain of $42.4 million compared to a net loss of $216 thousand in the prior quarter. The second quarter of 2026 included a $30.9 million pre-tax gain, net of economic hedge, related to the exchange of our Visa B shares under the recently announced exchange offer by Visa, Inc. The current quarter also included a net gain on investments related to deferred compensation of $8.8 million compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the prior quarter.

Losses on available-for-sale securities, net, were $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2026 as we repositioned the portfolio by selling approximately $268 million of lower-yielding debt securities.

Operating Expense

Total operating expense was $361.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $7.5 million compared to the prior quarter. The second quarter included $9.1 million of deferred compensation expense offset by gains on related investments in Other gains (losses), net. Excluding the impact of deferred compensation, total operating expense decreased $1.4 million.

Personnel costs were down $6.0 million excluding the impact of deferred compensation. Cash-based incentive compensation decreased $3.0 million, primarily driven by a decrease in trading activity during the quarter. Employee benefits expense decreased $1.8 million, largely due to a seasonal decrease in payroll taxes, partially offset by higher employee healthcare costs.

Non-personnel expense increased $4.6 million. Business promotion expense increased $1.9 million due to higher seasonal travel costs. Other expense was up $1.6 million, primarily related to an increase in operational losses.

Loans

Outstanding loans were $27.1 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $896 million over March 31, 2026, driven by broad-based growth across our loan portfolio. Unfunded loan commitments grew by $443 million over the first quarter of 2026 to $16.6 billion at June 30, 2026.

Outstanding commercial loan balances, which includes services, healthcare, energy, mortgage finance, and general business loans, increased $724 million over the prior quarter.

Energy loan balances grew by $47 million to $3.1 billion, or 11% of total loans. The majority of this portfolio is first lien, senior secured, reserve-based lending to oil and gas producers, which we believe is the lowest risk form of energy lending. Approximately 72% of committed production loans are secured by properties primarily producing oil. The remaining 28% are secured by properties primarily producing natural gas. Unfunded energy loan commitments were $4.6 billion at June 30, 2026, a $117 million increase over March 31, 2026.

Personal loans also include direct loans secured by and for the purchase of automobiles, recreational and marine equipment, as well as unsecured loans.

Period End & Average Deposits

Our funding sources, which primarily include deposits and wholesale borrowings, provide adequate liquidity to meet our needs. The loan to deposit ratio was 68% at June 30, 2026, consistent with the prior quarter, providing significant on-balance sheet liquidity to meet future loan demand and contractual obligations.

Period end deposits totaled $39.9 billion at June 30, 2026, a $1.2 billion increase. Interest-bearing transaction accounts increased $890 million, demand deposits increased $167 million, and time deposits increased $124 million.

The company's tangible common equity ratio¹, a non-GAAP measure, was 9.61% at June 30, 2026, and 9.29% at March 31, 2026. The tangible common equity ratio is primarily based on total shareholders' equity, which includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

The company repurchased 2,519 shares of common stock at an average price paid of 129.89 per share in the second quarter of 2026. No shares of common stock were repurchased in the first quarter of 2026. We view buybacks opportunistically, but within the context of maintaining our strong capital position.

Credit Quality

Net charge-offs were $1.9 million, or 0.03% of average loans on an annualized basis, in the first quarter of 2026.

No provision for expected credit losses was necessary for the second quarter of 2026. An improvement in economic forecast assumptions, including GDP growth, lower unemployment, and improved vacancy rates, compared to the prior quarter, was offset by the impact of loan growth during the quarter.

At June 30, 2026, the combined allowance for loan losses and accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk from unfunded loan commitments was $323 million, or 1.19% of outstanding loans and 592% of nonaccruing loans, excluding residential mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures

The tangible common equity ratio and return on average tangible common equity are primarily based on total shareholders' equity, which includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, less intangible assets and equity that do not benefit common shareholders. These measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from shareholders' equity and retain the effect of unrealized losses on securities and other components of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

The efficiency ratio and adjusted efficiency ratio measure the company's ability to use its assets and manage its liabilities effectively in the current period.

Pre-provision net revenue is a measure of revenue less expenses and is calculated before provision for credit losses and income tax expense. This financial measure is frequently used by investors and analysts and enables them to assess a company's ability to generate earnings to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. It also provides an additional basis for comparing the results of operations between periods by isolating the impact of the provision for credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

Net interest income and net interest margin excluding trading activities removes the effect of trading activities on these metrics allowing management and investors to assess the performance of the company's core lending and deposit activities without the associated volatility from trading activities.

We believe adjusting net income and earnings per share for notable non-core items enhances comparability of results with prior periods, demonstrates the impact of significant items, and provides a useful measure for determining the company's expenses that are core to our business operations and are expected to recur over time.

Loans attributed to a principal market may not always represent the location of the borrower or the collateral.

Yield calculations are shown on a tax-equivalent basis at the statutory federal and state rates for the periods presented. The yield calculations exclude security trades that have been recorded on trade date with no corresponding interest income and the unrealized gains and losses. The yield calculation also includes average loan balances for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and are net of unearned income. Yield/rate calculations are generally based on the conventions that determine how interest income and expense is accrued.
