** These market value adjustments relate to assets held for employee and director benefits that are effectively offset within salaries and employee benefits and other non-interest expense.

Total revenue increased 2 percent on a reported basis and 4 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ compared to the first quarter of 2026. Net interest income increased 2 percent driven primarily by average loan growth, fixed-rate asset turnover, one additional day in the quarter and continued prudent management of deposit costs. Net interest margin decreased 1 basis point to 3.66 percent. While loan growth and one additional day benefit net interest income, they reduce the net interest margin.

Non-interest income increased 1 percent on a reported basis and 7 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ during the second quarter, with the variance attributable to a $40 million securities repositioning loss. Wealth management income increased 6 percent in the second quarter to a new record level attributable primarily to higher production and favorable market conditions. Card and ATM fees increased 8 percent due primarily to seasonally higher transaction volumes. Service charges and mortgage income increased 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Market value adjustments for employee benefit assets increased $29 million during the quarter but are effectively offset in non-interest expense.

* The company holds assets in order to effectively offset the market value adjustments on supplemental 401(k) liabilities and the market value adjustments on those assets are recorded in non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses increased 5 percent on a reported and 4 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ compared to the first quarter of 2026. Salaries and benefits increased 6 percent as elevated market value adjustments for supplemental employee benefit liabilities, higher revenue-based incentives, two additional months' impact of associate merit increases, and one additional day were partially offset by seasonal decreases in payroll taxes and 401(k) contributions. Outside services increased 12 percent primarily attributable to the timing and volume of services performed. FDIC insurance assessments decreased 11 percent attributable to the unsecured debt adjustment tied to the company's debt issuance during the quarter. The company's second quarter efficiency ratio was 58.3 percent on a reported basis and 56.9 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾.

* Other consumer loans includes Regions' Home Improvement Financing portfolio.

Average loans increased 2 percent while ending loans increased 1 percent compared to the prior quarter. Average business loans increased 4 percent during the quarter while average consumer loans decreased 1 percent. Growth was driven by broad-based C&I lending categories including power and utilities, manufacturing, government and public sector and retail trade. Investor real estate delivered solid growth during the quarter, driven by strong production and increased bridge-financing activity within the multifamily sector, as elevated long-term interest rates have slowed permanent financing. Loan growth remained high quality, with investment grade credits representing more than half of new balances.

Asset quality trends continued to improve during the quarter, with credit performance reflecting increasing stability across the portfolio. Feedback from commercial customers and ongoing engagement by relationship managers indicates business sentiment remains constructive, while consumer credit fundamentals remain healthy. Consumer spending patterns across Regions' customer base were generally consistent with recent trends, and employment conditions remain supportive. While these trends remain favorable, the company continues to closely monitor economic uncertainty and portfolios with heightened risk or interest rate sensitivity.

Net charge-offs were $102 million or an annualized 42 basis points of average loans, representing a 12 basis point decrease compared to the first quarter of 2026. Business services criticized and total non-performing loans both declined during the quarter. The ratio of non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans declined 4 basis points to 0.67 percent, and the ratio of business services criticized loans as a percentage of total business loans declined 14 basis points to 5.01 percent.

High-quality loan growth modestly increased the allowance, but that increase was offset by progress in resolving loans within previously identified portfolios of interest and continued improvement in underlying credit metrics. As a result, the allowance for credit losses declined $34 million driving a 5 basis point reduction in the allowance ratio to 1.63 percent, while coverage of non-performing loans increased to 241 percent.

Regions maintained a strong capital position in the second quarter with estimated capital ratios remaining well above current regulatory requirements. At quarter-end, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1)⁽²⁾ and Tier 1 capital⁽²⁾ ratios were estimated at 10.7 percent and 11.8 percent respectively. Including the impacts of accumulated other comprehensive income, CET1⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ was estimated at 9.5 percent.

During the second quarter, the company repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock for a total of $59 million through open-market purchases and declared $226 million in dividends to common shareholders. Earlier this week, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.30 per share, representing a 13 percent increase over the previous quarter and a continuation of Regions' history of strong dividend growth. Over the past 10 years, Regions has increased its common stock dividend 16 percent on a compound annual growth rate basis, ranking within the top quartile among the company's peer group.

Tangible common book value per share⁽¹⁾ ended the quarter at $13.78, a 7 percent increase year-over-year.

The company's liquidity position also remained robust with total available liquidity as of June 30, 2026, of approximately $69 billion, which includes cash held at the Federal Reserve, FHLB borrowing capacity, unencumbered securities, and capacity at the Federal Reserve's facilities such as the Discount Window or Standing Repo Operations. These sources are sufficient to cover uninsured deposits at a ratio of approximately 181 percent as of quarter-end (excluding intercompany and secured deposits).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP), return on average tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP), adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP), common equity Tier 1 ratio (inclusive of AOCI) (non-GAAP), as well as adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted fee income ratio. Adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP) and adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP) are used to determine adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP). Net interest income (GAAP) on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the adjusted fee income and adjusted efficiency ratios. Net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments, net of tax, to arrive at adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP). Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) by the average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP). Net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments, net of tax, to arrive at adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity. Adjusted return on average tangible common shareholders' equity is calculated by dividing the adjusted net income available to common shareholders (non-GAAP) by the average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP). Adjusted common equity Tier 1 ratio (non-GAAP) is calculated by dividing the adjusted common equity tier 1 (non-GAAP), which is arrived at by excluding the AOCI loss on securities and AOCI loss on defined benefit pension plans and other post employment benefits from common equity Tier 1, by the company’s total risk-weighted assets (GAAP).

Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions’ business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the company on the same basis as that applied by management. Tangible common book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) by tangible assets (non-GAAP). The numerator for tangible book value per share (non-GAAP), tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP), is calculated by excluding intangible assets and the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets from common shareholders' equity (GAAP). The denominator for tangible book value per share (non-GAAP), tangible assets (non-GAAP), is calculated by excluding intangible assets and the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets from total assets (non-GAAP).

Tangible common shareholders’ equity ratios have become a focus of some investors and management believes they may assist investors in analyzing the capital position of the company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common shareholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common shareholders’ equity is not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in any amount by federal banking regulations it is currently considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it differently than Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of earnings that excludes selected items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders. Additionally, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and there is no certainty that we will not incur expenses in the future that are similar to those excluded in the calculations of non-GAAP financial measures presented herein.

Management and the Board of Directors utilize non-GAAP measures as follows:

• Preparation of Regions' operating budgets
• Monthly financial performance reporting
• Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results (management only)
• Presentation to investors of company performance
• Metrics for incentive compensation

See the company's Financial Supplement, included as Exhibit 99.2 to the company's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2026, for reconciliations of and additional information regarding the company's non-GAAP financial measures.
