This Current Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to the Corporation's financial condition, results of operations and business. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "should," "will," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future," "intends," "projects," the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology.

Fulton Financial Corporation Announces First Quarter 2025 Results

(April 15, 2025) – Lancaster, PA – Fulton Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FULT) (“Fulton” or the “Corporation”) reported net income available to common shareholders of $90.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $24.4 million, or $0.13 per share, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $95.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share(1), an increase of $6.5 million, or $0.04 per share, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2024.

"We are pleased with our first quarter operating earnings of $0.52 per diluted share and encouraged by the strong start to the year," said Curtis J. Myers, Chairman and CEO of Fulton. "Our team continues to be disciplined in our approach to creating value for all stakeholders while remaining focused on the long term during this uncertain and dynamic environment."

Financial Highlights

First quarter of 2025 operating results of $0.52 per diluted share were impacted by the following items:

•Solid net interest margin of 3.43% with a 12 basis point decrease in total cost of funds compared to the prior quarter.

•Non-interest expense decreased $27.2 million to $189.5 million compared to $216.6 million in the prior quarter. Operating non-interest expense decreased $7.8 million to $182.9 million(1) compared to $190.7 million in the prior quarter.

•Provision for credit losses was $13.9 million resulting in an allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans of $379.7 million, or 1.59% of total net loans as of March 31, 2025.

•Excluding brokered deposits, customer deposits increased $304.9 million, or 4.9% annualized, compared to the prior quarter.

•Common equity tier 1 capital ratio(2) increased to approximately 11.0% compared to 10.8% in the prior quarter.

The following items highlight notable changes in the components of net income and the balance sheet in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024:

•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. Purchase loan mark accretion from loans acquired in the Acquisition(3) was $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $13.9 million in the prior quarter.

•Non-interest income before investment securities gains (losses) was $67.2 million compared to $65.9 million in the prior quarter. The $1.3 million increase was primarily due to a $2.7 million reduction in the gain on acquisition (net of tax) recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a $2.4 million increase in income from equity method investments, reflected in other income, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in mortgage banking income, a $0.5 million decrease in debit card fee income, a $0.5 million decrease in Small Business Administration loan income, a $0.5 million decrease in merchant fee income, a $0.3 million decrease in commercial customer interest rate derivative fee income, reflected in capital markets income, a $0.3 million decrease in overdraft fee income and a $0.2 million decrease in wealth management revenues.

•Non-interest expense was $189.5 million compared to $216.6 million in the prior quarter. The $27.2 million decrease was primarily due to a $10.0 million decrease in FultonFirst implementation and asset disposal expense and a $9.3 million decrease in acquisition-related expense. 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. Commercial and other loans in non-accrual status decreased during the first quarter.

•Deposits totaled $26.3 billion, an increase of $199.5 million, compared to $26.1 billion as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $416.4 million increase in savings deposits, partially offset by decreases of $105.4 million in brokered deposits, $63.8 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and $39.2 million in interest-bearing demand deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

•The provision for credit losses was $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 resulting in a $379.7 million allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans, or 1.59% of total net loans as of March 31, 2025, compared to $379.2 million, or 1.58% of total net loans as of December 31, 2024.

•Non-performing assets were $199.0 million, or 0.62% of total assets, as of March 31, 2025, in comparison to $222.7 million, or 0.69% of total assets, as of December 31, 2024.

•Annualized net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2025 were 0.21% of total average loans in comparison to 0.22% in the prior quarter.

(dollars in thousands, except per share and share data)
Explanatory note: This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, that has been derived by methods other than GAAP. The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:

FIRST QUARTER 2025 RESULTS NASDAQ: FULT Data as of or for the period ended March 31, 2025 unless otherwise noted


This presentation may contain forward-looking statements with respect to Fulton Financial Corporation's (the "Corporation“ or “Fulton”) financial condition, results of operations and business. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "should," "will," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future," "intends," “projects,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of, or guidance on, the Corporation’s future financial performance, expected levels of future expenses, including future credit losses, anticipated growth strategies, descriptions of new business initiatives and anticipated trends in the Corporation’s business or financial results. Management’s "2025 Operating Guidance" contained herein is compri sed of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts, nor assurance of future performance. Instead, the statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the Corporation’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Corporation’s control, and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not unduly rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date when made. The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A discussion of certain risks and uncertainties affecting the Corporation, and some of the factors that could cause the Corporation’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, can be found in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other periodic reports, which have been, or will be, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and are, or will be, available in the Investor Relations section of the Corporation’s website (www.fultonbank.com) and on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

16 Note: The Corporation has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry.
