First Citizens BancShares Reports Second Quarter 2025 Earnings, Announces Additional Share Repurchase Plan

RALEIGH, N.C., July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("BancShares") (Nasdaq: FCNCA) reported earnings for the second quarter of 2025. Chairman and CEO Frank B. Holding, Jr. said: "Our team delivered solid financial results in the second quarter through revenue growth and positive credit performance across our diverse portfolio. Capital and liquidity positions remained strong, enabling us to return an additional $613 million of capital to our stockholders through share repurchases during the quarter. Also, we are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to $4.0 billion of our Class A common shares which will commence upon completion of the $3.5 billion share repurchase plan announced in July 2024. This reflects our commitments to long-term value creation and delivering returns to our stockholders. Lastly, I am pleased that we have strengthened our leadership and governance with the appointment of Diane Morais to our Board of Directors." FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Measures referenced below "as adjusted" or "excluding PAA" (or purchase accounting accretion) are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the Financial Supplement available at or for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Net income for the second quarter of 2025 ("current quarter") was $575 million compared to $483 million for the first quarter of 2025 ("linked quarter"). Net income available to common stockholders for the current quarter was $561 million, or $42.36 per common share, a $93 million increase from $468 million, or $34.47 per common share, in the linked quarter. Adjusted net income for the current quarter was $607 million compared to $528 million for the linked quarter. Consistent with the prior quarter, acquisition-related expenses were the most significant difference between reported and adjusted net income. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $593 million, or $44.78 per common share, an $80 million increase from $513 million, or $37.79 per common share, in the linked quarter. NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN Net interest income totaled $1.70 billion for the current quarter, an increase of $32 million from the linked quarter. Net interest income related to PAA was $66 million compared to $75 million in the linked quarter, a decrease of $9 million. Net interest income, excluding PAA, was $1.63 billion compared to $1.59 billion in the linked quarter, an increase of $41 million, primarily due to the following: Interest income on loans increased $34 million. Interest income on loans, excluding loan PAA, increased $43 million, mainly due to the impacts of a higher average balance and a higher day count. Interest income on interest-earning deposits at banks increased $11 million, primarily due to a higher average balance and a higher day count. Interest income on investment securities increased $5 million due to a higher average balance and a higher day count. Interest expense on borrowings increased $17 million due to a higher average balance and rate paid as the issuances during the linked quarter of senior unsecured notes and subordinated notes were outstanding for the entire current quarter. Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased $1 million as the impacts of a higher average balance and a higher day count were partially offset by a lower rate paid. Net interest margin ("NIM") was 3.26% in both the current and linked quarters as the favorable impact of a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was offset by the unfavorable impacts of a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, a higher rate paid on borrowings, and lower PAA. NIM, excluding PAA, was 3.14% compared to 3.12% in the linked quarter. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.67%, a decrease of 1 basis point from the linked quarter, mainly due to lower loan PAA. The rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities was 3.19%, a decrease of 3 basis points from the linked quarter, primarily due to a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the impacts of a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits, and a higher average balance and rate paid on borrowings. NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE Noninterest income was $678 million compared to $635 million in the linked quarter, an increase of $43 million. Adjusted noninterest income was $513 million compared to $479 million in the linked quarter, an increase of $34 million. The increases in noninterest income and adjusted noninterest income were primarily the result of an increase in other noninterest income of $28 million, mainly attributable to the positive impacts from fair value changes in customer derivative positions and other non-marketable investments, as well as the linked quarter write-down of a held for sale asset. Noninterest expense was $1.50 billion compared to $1.49 billion in the linked quarter, an increase of $7 million. Adjusted noninterest expense was $1.28 billion, an increase of $2 million compared to the linked quarter. BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY Loans and leases totaled $141.27 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $89 million (0.3% annualized) compared to $141.36 billion at March 31, 2025. Loan growth in the General Bank and Commercial Bank segments was more than offset by a decline in loans in the SVB Commercial segment. SVB Commercial segment loans declined $289 million (3.1% annualized), mostly related to Tech and Healthcare Banking, partially offset by growth in Global Fund Banking. General Bank segment growth of $140 million (0.9% annualized) was largely related to an increase in Wealth, partially offset by a decline in business and commercial loans in the Branch Network. Commercial Bank segment growth of $60 million (0.6% annualized) was mainly related to loans in our Real Estate Finance and Equipment Finance portfolios. Total investment securities were $43.35 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $973 million since March 31, 2025 as maturities and paydowns more than offset purchases of approximately $1.06 billion short duration available for sale U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. Deposits totaled $159.94 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $610 million since March 31, 2025 (1.5% annualized growth). Deposit growth was mainly attributable to the following: SVB Commercial segment growth of $778 million. Corporate growth of $746 million, mostly concentrated in the Direct Bank. General Bank segment decline of $810 million, mostly related to declines in the Branch Network and Wealth due to seasonal tax outflows, and lower net growth. Commercial Bank segment deposits decreased $95 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 25.6% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The cost of average total deposits was 2.27% for the current quarter, compared to 2.32% for the linked quarter. Funding mix remained stable with 80.8% of total funding composed of deposits. PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY Provision for credit losses totaled $115 million for the current quarter compared to $154 million for the linked quarter. The current quarter provision for credit losses included a provision for loan and lease losses of $111 million and a provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure of $4 million. The provision for loan and lease losses for the current quarter was $111 million compared to $148 million for the linked quarter. The $37 million decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses was mainly attributable to a decrease in net charge-offs of $25 million, along with the impact of an $8 million reserve release in the current quarter compared to a $4 million reserve build in the linked quarter. The provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure for the current quarter was $4 million compared to $6 million for the linked quarter, a decrease of $2 million. Net charge-offs were $119 million for the current quarter, representing 0.33% of average loans, compared to $144 million, or 0.41% of average loans, for the linked quarter. The $25 million decrease was primarily related to lower net charge-offs in the SVB Commercial segment and the Commercial Bank segment. Nonaccrual loans were $1.32 billion, or 0.93% of loans, at June 30, 2025, compared to $1.21 billion, or 0.85% of loans, at March 31, 2025. The increase was mainly due to one individually evaluated nonaccrual credit in the SVB Commercial segment. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $1.67 billion, a decrease of $8 million from the linked quarter, as decreases related to Hurricane Helene, other credit quality improvements, and a modest shift in our weighting from the downside to baseline economic scenario were partially offset by higher specific reserves for individually evaluated loans. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans was 1.18% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.19% at March 31, 2025. CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY Capital ratios are well above regulatory requirements. The estimated total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, Common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.25%, 12.63%, 12.12%, and 9.64%, respectively, at June 30, 2025. During the current quarter, we repurchased 338,959 shares of our Class A common stock for $613 million and paid a dividend of $1.95 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. Shares repurchased during the current quarter represented 2.73% of Class A common shares and 2.53% of total Class A and Class B common shares outstanding at March 31, 2025. From inception of the Share Repurchase Program announced in July 2024 ("2024 SRP") through June 30, 2025, we have repurchased 1,456,283 shares of our Class A common stock for $2.89 billion, representing 10.77% of Class A common shares and 10.02% of total Class A and Class B common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The total capacity remaining under the 2024 SRP was $611 million as of June 30, 2025. Additionally, the entire $4 billion capacity remains under the Share Repurchase Program announced on July 25, 2025 ("2025 SRP"). Liquidity position remains strong as liquid assets were $63.62 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $62.79 billion at March 31, 2025.

US stock futures mixed as investors digest more earnings reports

U.S. stock futures are mixed as investors digest more earnings reports. Strong earnings and continued spending from Alphabet boosted the broad S&P 500 and tech-laden Nasdaq to fresh record highs, and investors are looking for more to keep the rally going. Slightly more than 20% of S&P 500 companies have reported earnings," said Thomas Shipp, Head of Equity Research for LPL Financial. "So far, it appears that results are good enough. The rate of results outpacing earnings expectations is near 90%, with average upside surprises around the historical average of approximately 7% on earnings per share, while about 2% upside on sales is coming in ahead of historical averages of roughly 1.2%." However, investors also are scrutinizing guidance. So far, Shipp said companies seem to be managing tariffs well, feel Trump's mega tax bill will help companes and companies are still planning to spend on artficial intelligence. At 6:20 a.m. ET, futures linked to the blue chip Dow rose 0.09%, while S&P 500 futures added 0.07% and Nasdaq futures fell-0.02%. Corporate news Intel's second-quarter results topped analyts' forecasts but the semiconductor company said it's slashing its workforce by 15% and scrapping plans to spend tens of billions of dollars on new chip facilities in Europe. Deckers Outdoor results topped Wall Street's expectations in the first three months of its fiscal year with help from strong international sales. Its current quarter guidance is mostly in line with the Street's views. Boston Beer reported better-than-expected second-quarter results and said it now expects tariffs to have a more moderate effect on its earnings this year. Paramount Global's $8 billion merger with Skydance received approval from the Federal Communications Commission. Boyd Gaming topped second-quarter estimates. Cryptocurrency Trump's Working Group on Digital Assets has finished its 180-day study and will release it publicly on July 30, said Bo Hines, executive director of president's Council of Advisers on Digital Assets of the White House, in a social media post.

Fizzy market week turns flat

By Mike Dolan LONDON (Reuters) - What matters in U.S. and global markets today By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Finance and Markets A buoyant week for world markets driven by emerging U.S. trade deals with major economies has gone a bit flat into Friday, with the corporate earnings season throwing up a series of high profile disappointments. The interest rate backdrop also turned a shade darker, with the European Central Bank holding its 2% rate steady as expected but with some officials signalling that the bar was high for further easing. Federal Reserve rate cut expectations also continued to tick lower despite relentless political pressure, with futures markets now pricing in just 42 basis points of additional easing this year. * The S&P 500 and Nasdaq eked out marginal gains to new records on Thursday, with Alphabet leading the way after its earnings beat. But Tesla's troubles continued, as it dropped more than 8%. Meanwhile, IBM clocked an 8% earnings day drop, American Airlines fell 10% and Honeywell was off 6%. UnitedHealth lost 5% after a probe into its Medicare practises, and Intel lost 5% overnight on its update. Wall Street futures were flat ahead of Friday's bell. * The European earnings season was also pockmarked with some negative reactions to corporate updates, with shares in German sportswear maker Puma sliding 15% on Friday and French car parts maker Valeo down 9% as both cut full-year outlooks. European stock indexes were down about 0.5%. A rebound in British retail sales last month came in below forecasts too. * A packed diary next week includes the August 1 U.S. tariff deadline, Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan meetings, key U.S. labor market updates, megacap earnings and a heavy Treasury debt auction schedule. Treasury yields were steady to a bit higher on Friday and the dollar nudged up too. Market Minute * Investors cashed out of highly valued global stocks on Friday and the dollar headed for its biggest weekly drop in a month ahead of a crucial week for markets that includes Donald Trump's tariff deadline and key central bank meetings. * U.S. President Donald Trump's trade deal with Tokyo opens scope for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates again this year, sources say, a prospect the central bank may start to telegraph by offering a less gloomy view on the economic outlook. * South Korea's Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan met U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Thursday and reaffirmed a commitment to reach a deal on tariffs by the August 1 deadline, South Korea's industry ministry said on Friday. * The optimism sweeping world stock markets following news of emerging and expected U.S. trade deals is undeniable and understandable. But, writes ROI markets columnist Jamie McGeever, it is also puzzling. * U.S. President Donald Trump sprang a double surprise on the copper market when he announced import tariffs of 50% effective next month. ROI metals columnist Andy Home notes that the market was betting on a different outcome. Weekend reads * GEN AI AND PRODUCTIVITY: The Generative AI boom shows encouraging signs of raising the productivity level of the wider economy, according to a Federal Reserve Board discussion paper. But the researchers conclude that GenAI's contribution to productivity growth will depend on the speed with which its benefits are obtained, and notes that historically it takes time for revolutionary technologies to be integrated into the economy. * SUBNATIONAL DEBTS: Debates about debt sustainability often only focus only on "sovereign" or central government balances and ignore a complex, growing role of subnational governments. In a piece on CEPR's VoxEU site, economists Sean Dougherty, Acaua Brochado and Pietrangelo de Biase point out how subnational government accounts for nearly 40% of public investment and more than a quarter of public spending. They argue these entities face tighter borrowing conditions, increasing investment responsibilities and market structures that often fail to price risk accurately. Left unaddressed, these dynamics could undermine both macro stability and government priorities. * DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY: Europe's systemic dependency on Big Tech's social-media platforms threatens the continent's digital sovereignty as policymakers argue there's little alternative. But, as developer Sebastian Vogelsang argues on Project Syndicate this week, this ignores the potential for building apps on open-source frameworks like the AT Protocol, the foundation for Bluesky. * 'SPY COCKROACHES'?: For Gundbert Scherf - the co-founder of Germany's Helsing, Europe's most valuable defence start-up - Russia's invasion of Ukraine changed everything. As Reuters' Supantha Mukherjee, Sarah Marsh and Christoph Steitz report, the Munich-based company more than doubled its valuation to $12 billion at a fundraising last month. Scherf - a former partner at McKinsey - says Europe may be on the cusp of a transformation in defence innovation akin to the Manhattan Project. * SYRIA'S ECONOMICS: A Reuters investigation found that Syria's new leadership is secretly restructuring an economy broken by corruption and years of sanctions against Assad's government, under the auspices of a group of men whose identities have until now been concealed under pseudonyms. Away from public scrutiny, the committee obtained assets worth more than $1.6 billion. That tally is based on accounts of people familiar with its deals to acquire business stakes and cash seizures, including at least $1.5 billion in assets taken from three businessmen and firms in a conglomerate once controlled by Assad's inner circle. Chart of the day With Fed policy under a microscope, attention switches to the labor market next week - culminating in the release of the national employment report on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters expect the economy added 102,000 non-farm payrolls this month - which would be the lowest monthly tally since February. However, the U.S. Labor Department on Thursday showed jobless claims last week fell to 217,000 - well below estimates - signaling continued resilience in the job market. Today's events to watch * U.S. June durable goods orders (8:30 AM EDT) * U.S. corporate earnings: Aon, HCA Healthcare, Charter Communications, Phillips 66, Centene * South Korea's Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol and Minister for Trade Yeo Han-koo meet U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington * U.S. President Donald Trump makes private visit to Scotland -- Want to receive the Morning Bid in your inbox every weekday morning?
