Our heritage and deeply rooted values continue to guide us, yet it's the opportunity ahead that energizes us. We're focused on becoming the country's leading people-first, customer-centered bank, and that ambition is taking shape across the franchise. Nearly every part of Huntington is performing at a high level, creating powerful momentum as we look to the future. We've developed a differentiated operating model. Beginning next month, our consumer and regional bank franchise will have a presence in 21 states, many of the fastest-growing in the country. Our local delivery of national capabilities is a franchise-defining competitive advantage.우리의 μœ μ‚°κ³Ό 깊이 λΏŒλ¦¬λ‚΄λ¦° κ°€μΉ˜κ΄€μ€ κ³„μ†ν•΄μ„œ 우리λ₯Ό 이끌고 μžˆμ§€λ§Œ, μš°λ¦¬μ—κ²Œ ν™œλ ₯을 μ£ΌλŠ” 것은 μ•žμœΌλ‘œμ˜ κΈ°νšŒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” λ―Έκ΅­ 졜고의 고객 쀑심 은행이 λ˜λŠ” 데 μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜κ³  있으며, μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ λͺ©ν‘œλŠ” ν”„λžœμ°¨μ΄μ¦ˆ μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 κ΅¬μ²΄ν™”λ˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄μ˜ 거의 λͺ¨λ“  뢀문이 높은 μˆ˜μ€€μ˜ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‚΄κ³  있으며, μ΄λŠ” 미래λ₯Ό λ°”λΌλ³΄λŠ” μš°λ¦¬μ—κ²Œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ λͺ¨λ©˜ν…€μ„ λ§Œλ“€μ–΄λ‚΄κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ°¨λ³„ν™”λœ 운영 λͺ¨λΈμ„ κ°œλ°œν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€μŒ 달뢀터 우리의 μ†ŒλΉ„μž 및 μ§€μ—­ 은행 ν”„λžœμ°¨μ΄μ¦ˆλŠ” 21개 주에 μ§„μΆœν•˜κ²Œ 되며, κ·Έ 쀑 μƒλ‹Ήμˆ˜λŠ” λ―Έκ΅­μ—μ„œ κ°€μž₯ λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ μ„±μž₯ν•˜λŠ” μ§€μ—­μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 전ꡭ적 μ—­λŸ‰μ˜ 지역적 μ œκ³΅μ€ ν”„λžœμ°¨μ΄μ¦ˆλ₯Ό μ •μ˜ν•˜λŠ” 경쟁 μš°μœ„μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

These attributes, combined with our scalable business model and recent positioning in the most attractive states will enable growth far into the future. Slide 4 illustrates the core components of our model and how they drove excellent full year results for 2025. We have activated a flywheel of value creation in which our operating model drives sustainable high growth, enabling us to accelerate reinvestment and strengthening our competitive advantage. In '25, this model delivered truly outstanding results, 11% revenue growth, 16% adjusted EPS growth, 290 basis points of positive operating leverage and strong credit performance. All of this drove powerful capital generation.μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ νŠΉμ„±λ“€μ€ ν™•μž₯ κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€ λͺ¨λΈ 및 졜근 κ°€μž₯ λ§€λ ₯적인 μ£Ό(州)λ“€μ—μ„œμ˜ 포지셔닝과 κ²°ν•©λ˜μ–΄ λ¨Ό λ―Έλž˜κΉŒμ§€ μ„±μž₯을 κ°€λŠ₯ν•˜κ²Œ ν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 4λŠ” 우리 λͺ¨λΈμ˜ 핡심 κ΅¬μ„±μš”μ†Œλ“€κ³Ό 이것이 2025λ…„ 전체 연도 μš°μˆ˜ν•œ 싀적을 μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ κ²¬μΈν–ˆλŠ”μ§€λ₯Ό λ³΄μ—¬μ€λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” κ°€μΉ˜ 창좜의 μ„ μˆœν™˜ ꡬ쑰λ₯Ό ν™œμ„±ν™”ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, 이λ₯Ό 톡해 우리의 운영 λͺ¨λΈμ΄ 지속 κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ κ³ μ„±μž₯을 κ²¬μΈν•˜κ³ , 재투자λ₯Ό κ°€μ†ν™”ν•˜λ©°, 경쟁 μš°μœ„λ₯Ό κ°•ν™”ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2025년에 이 λͺ¨λΈμ€ 정말 νƒμ›”ν•œ 싀적을 λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€ - 맀좜 11% μ„±μž₯, μ‘°μ • μ£Όλ‹Ήμˆœμ΄μ΅(EPS) 16% μ„±μž₯, 290bp의 긍정적 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€, 그리고 κ²¬κ³ ν•œ μ‹ μš© μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이 λͺ¨λ“  것이 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 자본 μ°½μΆœμ„ κ²¬μΈν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Slide 5 summarizes our key messages. First, our focused execution is generating significant organic growth. Second, we have proven expertise in integrating new partner banks. And third, we're delivering exceptional profitability and value creation to our shareholders. We are driving outstanding revenue, earnings, tangible book value growth and returns while investing for growth in the years ahead. As shown on Slide 6, our organic growth engine remains exceptionally strong. We delivered another year of significant above-peer cumulative organic loan and deposit growth. And as Zach will talk to in a moment, our value-added fee services are showing a similar trend.μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 5λŠ” 우리의 핡심 λ©”μ‹œμ§€λ₯Ό μš”μ•½ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 첫째, 우리의 μ§‘μ€‘λœ 싀행은 μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 유기적 μ„±μž₯을 μ°½μΆœν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‘˜μ§Έ, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ‹ κ·œ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆ 은행듀을 ν†΅ν•©ν•˜λŠ” 데 μžˆμ–΄ μž…μ¦λœ 전문성을 λ³΄μœ ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ…‹μ§Έ, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ£Όμ£Όλ“€μ—κ²Œ νƒμ›”ν•œ μˆ˜μ΅μ„±κ³Ό κ°€μΉ˜ μ°½μΆœμ„ μ œκ³΅ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” ν–₯ν›„ λͺ‡ λ…„κ°„μ˜ μ„±μž₯을 μœ„ν•œ 투자λ₯Ό μ§„ν–‰ν•˜λŠ” λ™μ‹œμ— λ›°μ–΄λ‚œ 맀좜, 수읡, μœ ν˜•μžμ‚° μž₯λΆ€κ°€μΉ˜ μ„±μž₯ 및 수읡λ₯ μ„ λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 6μ—μ„œ λ³΄μ‹œλŠ” 바와 같이, 우리의 유기적 μ„±μž₯ 엔진은 μ—¬μ „νžˆ 맀우 κ°•λ ₯ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 동쒅업계 λŒ€λΉ„ μƒλ‹Ήνžˆ 높은 λˆ„μ  유기적 λŒ€μΆœ 및 예금 μ„±μž₯을 또 ν•œ ν•΄ λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 Zachκ°€ κ³§ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μ§€λ§Œ, 우리의 λΆ€κ°€κ°€μΉ˜ 수수료 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λ„ μœ μ‚¬ν•œ μΆ”μ„Έλ₯Ό 보이고 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
These outcomes reflect how our teams are executing with discipline across all of our customer segments. This quarter, we delivered strong growth in primary bank relationships, up 4% year-over-year in Consumer Banking and 7% in Business Banking. We are focused on deepening customer relationships and expanding wallet share while maintaining diversified portfolios. Slide 7 highlights some of the strategic investments we made in 2025 that accelerate our flywheel and enhance our long-term growth trajectory. We continued our branch build-out in North and South Carolina and expanded our middle market banking in Texas.μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ„±κ³ΌλŠ” 우리 νŒ€μ΄ λͺ¨λ“  고객 λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œ 규율 있게 μ‹€ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŒμ„ λ³΄μ—¬μ€λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 뢄기에 μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ£Όκ±°λž˜μ€ν–‰ κ΄€κ³„μ—μ„œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ μ„±μž₯을 λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ†ŒλΉ„μžκΈˆμœ΅ λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œ μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ 4%, κΈ°μ—…κΈˆμœ΅ λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œ 7% μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” λ‹€κ°ν™”λœ 포트폴리였λ₯Ό μœ μ§€ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ 고객 관계λ₯Ό μ‹¬ν™”ν•˜κ³  μ§€κ°‘ μ μœ μœ¨μ„ ν™•λŒ€ν•˜λŠ” 데 μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 7은 2025년에 μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μˆ˜ν–‰ν•œ μ „λž΅μ  투자 쀑 일뢀λ₯Ό λ³΄μ—¬μ£ΌλŠ”λ°, μ΄λŠ” 우리의 μ„ μˆœν™˜ ꡬ쑰λ₯Ό κ°€μ†ν™”ν•˜κ³  μž₯κΈ° μ„±μž₯ ꢀ도λ₯Ό κ°•ν™”ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” λ…ΈμŠ€μΊλ‘€λΌμ΄λ‚˜μ™€ μ‚¬μš°μŠ€μΊλ‘€λΌμ΄λ‚˜μ—μ„œ 지점 ν™•μž₯을 μ§€μ†ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, ν…μ‚¬μŠ€μ—μ„œ 쀑견기업 κΈˆμœ΅μ„ ν™•λŒ€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We added new commercial verticals and the Veritex and Cadence partnerships augment our scale and density in states that are projected to grow roughly 30% faster than the national average. We also added to our platform and capabilities. With the addition of TM Capital and Janney Capital Markets, we expanded the breadth of our financial advisory as well as increased our categories of fixed income trading. Additionally, we added functionalities and services within our commercial payments platform. We executed several integrated partnerships to deliver new fintech solutions for our consumer and small business customers, and we continued our investment in industry-leading digital capabilities.μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ 상업 뢀문을 μΆ”κ°€ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, Veritex 및 Cadenceμ™€μ˜ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ 톡해 μ „κ΅­ 평균보닀 μ•½ 30% 더 λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ μ„±μž₯ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ˜λŠ” μ£Όλ“€μ—μ„œ 우리의 규λͺ¨μ™€ 밀도λ₯Ό κ°•ν™”ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ 우리의 ν”Œλž«νΌκ³Ό μ—­λŸ‰μ„ ν™•λŒ€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

These initiatives expand the breadth of customers we serve, deepen our relationships and help accelerate our fee revenue growth. In summary, 2025 was an extraordinary year for Huntington. Our outstanding financial results reflect the substantial investments we've made in our capabilities over the past several years, and we intend to continue investing across all elements of our franchise going forward. These investments and our recent partnerships position us to sustain strong growth well into the future. With that, let me turn it over to Brant to share some updates on the partnership integrations.

Thank you, Steve. Starting on Slide 8, I want to share our differentiated and a proven approach to partnerships. Our approach is collaborative and transparent, designed to align around our common objectives, creating a strong foundation for long-term value creation. We're able to quickly identify and engage the leaders and make thoughtful decisions around the talent of the combined organization. Our objective is to create a welcoming environment for our new colleagues. We work with rigor and speed, mobilizing dedicated teams to migrate our partners' entire organization to Huntington platforms. We thoughtfully sequence the activities to minimize customer disruption and operational risk.κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€, Steve. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 8λΆ€ν„° μ‹œμž‘ν•˜μ—¬, νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ— λŒ€ν•œ μ €ν¬μ˜ μ°¨λ³„ν™”λ˜κ³  κ²€μ¦λœ 접근방식을 κ³΅μœ ν•˜κ³ μž ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 저희 접근방식은 ν˜‘λ ₯적이고 투λͺ…ν•˜λ©°, 곡동 λͺ©ν‘œλ₯Ό μ€‘μ‹¬μœΌλ‘œ μ •λ ¬ν•˜μ—¬ μž₯기적인 κ°€μΉ˜ μ°½μΆœμ„ μœ„ν•œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ κΈ°λ°˜μ„ κ΅¬μΆ•ν•˜λ„λ‘ μ„€κ³„λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” 리더듀을 μ‹ μ†ν•˜κ²Œ μ‹λ³„ν•˜κ³  μ°Έμ—¬μ‹œν‚¬ 수 있으며, 톡합 쑰직의 μΈμž¬μ— λŒ€ν•΄ μ‹ μ€‘ν•œ μ˜μ‚¬κ²°μ •μ„ λ‚΄λ¦½λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬μ˜ λͺ©ν‘œλŠ” μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ λ™λ£Œλ“€μ„ μœ„ν•œ ν™˜μ˜ν•˜λŠ” ν™˜κ²½μ„ μ‘°μ„±ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” 엄격함과 신속함을 κ°€μ§€κ³  μž‘μ—…ν•˜λ©°, νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‚¬μ˜ 전체 쑰직을 Huntington ν”Œλž«νΌμœΌλ‘œ μ΄μ „ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ μ „λ‹΄ νŒ€μ„ λ™μ›ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 고객 뢈편과 운영 리슀크λ₯Ό μ΅œμ†Œν™”ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ ν™œλ™λ“€μ„ μ‹ μ€‘ν•˜κ²Œ 순차적으둜 μ§„ν–‰ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We found that this approach creates an experience that is as frictionless as possible for both colleagues and customers. We are also intentional about approaching key customer product migrations with a people-first white glove process. We actually like to call it the green glove process. We will quickly deploy the full suite of Huntington capabilities, including products, balance sheet capacity, value-added services and digital capabilities. This approach for our new customer-facing colleagues enables them to stay engaged with their customers throughout the entire process, expanding their existing relationships and growing new ones.μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식은 직원과 고객 λͺ¨λ‘μ—κ²Œ κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ ν•œ μ›ν™œν•œ κ²½ν—˜μ„ μ œκ³΅ν•œλ‹€λŠ” 것을 ν™•μΈν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ μ£Όμš” 고객 μƒν’ˆ μ „ν™˜ μ‹œ μ‚¬λžŒ μ€‘μ‹¬μ˜ μ„Έμ‹¬ν•œ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€λ‘œ μ ‘κ·Όν•˜λŠ” 데 μ˜λ„μ μœΌλ‘œ λ…Έλ ₯ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” 이λ₯Ό 'κ·Έλ¦° κΈ€λŸ¬λΈŒ(green glove) ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€'라고 λΆ€λ¦…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μƒν’ˆ, λŒ€μ°¨λŒ€μ‘°ν‘œ μ—­λŸ‰, λΆ€κ°€κ°€μΉ˜ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€, λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ—­λŸ‰μ„ ν¬ν•¨ν•œ ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄μ˜ 전체 μ—­λŸ‰μ„ μ‹ μ†ν•˜κ²Œ λ°°μΉ˜ν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식을 톡해 μ‹ κ·œ 고객 λŒ€λ©΄ 직원듀은 전체 ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€ λ™μ•ˆ 고객과의 관계λ₯Ό μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μœ μ§€ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ κΈ°μ‘΄ 관계λ₯Ό ν™•λŒ€ν•˜κ³  μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ 관계λ₯Ό ꡬ좕할 수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
For their customers, it ensures continuity of service while gaining exposure to the expanded set of capabilities we can offer. This approach drives economic value. By empowering and engaging our partners, being thoughtful and focused in our talent management and retention efforts, deploying the full breadth of our capabilities, developing deeper lending relationships and value-added services and moving quickly to migrate systems, we're able to realize substantial cost and revenue synergies. Turning to Slide 9. Let me give you an update on how we've applied this approach to our partnerships with Veritex and Cadence.κ³ κ°λ“€μ—κ²ŒλŠ” μ„œλΉ„μŠ€μ˜ 연속성을 보μž₯ν•˜λŠ” λ™μ‹œμ— μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ œκ³΅ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” ν™•μž₯된 μ—­λŸ‰μ— λŒ€ν•œ μ ‘κ·Ό 기회λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식은 경제적 κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ°½μΆœν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆλ“€μ—κ²Œ κΆŒν•œμ„ λΆ€μ—¬ν•˜κ³  μ°Έμ—¬λ₯Ό μœ λ„ν•˜λ©°, 인재 관리 및 μœ μ§€ λ…Έλ ₯에 μžˆμ–΄ μ‹ μ€‘ν•˜κ³  μ§‘μ€‘μ μœΌλ‘œ μ ‘κ·Όν•˜κ³ , 우리 μ—­λŸ‰μ˜ 전체 λ²”μœ„λ₯Ό λ°°μΉ˜ν•˜λ©°, 더 κΉŠμ€ λŒ€μΆœ 관계와 λΆ€κ°€κ°€μΉ˜ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λ₯Ό κ°œλ°œν•˜κ³ , μ‹œμŠ€ν…œ 톡합을 μ‹ μ†ν•˜κ²Œ μ§„ν–‰ν•¨μœΌλ‘œμ¨, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μƒλ‹Ήν•œ λΉ„μš© 및 수읡 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€λ₯Ό μ‹€ν˜„ν•  수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 9둜 λ„˜μ–΄κ°€κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

We've spent extensive time in the market with our new colleagues, aligning the local leadership structure and demonstrating our culture. For example, with Cadence, we undertook a 22-city tour right after the announcement to get to know our new colleagues and learn about their customers and the markets they serve. We undertook similar meetings with Veritex and have frequent senior leader connectivity and end-market engagement. We could not be more excited to welcome these new colleagues to Huntington.μ €ν¬λŠ” μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ λ™λ£Œλ“€κ³Ό ν•¨κ»˜ μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ λ§Žμ€ μ‹œκ°„μ„ 보내며 ν˜„μ§€ 리더십 ꡬ쑰λ₯Ό μ •λΉ„ν•˜κ³  우리의 κΈ°μ—… λ¬Έν™”λ₯Ό λ³΄μ—¬μ£Όμ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 예λ₯Ό λ“€μ–΄, Cadence의 경우 인수 λ°œν‘œ 직후 22개 λ„μ‹œ 순회λ₯Ό μ§„ν–‰ν•˜μ—¬ μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ λ™λ£Œλ“€μ„ μ•Œμ•„κ°€κ³  κ·Έλ“€μ˜ 고객과 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ μ‹œμž₯에 λŒ€ν•΄ λ°°μ› μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Engagement with the leadership and colleagues of our partners is fundamental to our ability to execute integration activities quickly and effectively and get to the critical focus of value creation. We have undertaken a thoughtful approach to our combined organization's talent decisioning with a lot of input from the Cadence management team and completed this work well in advance of closing. This creates certainty for our new colleagues and provides immediate line of sight to a large percentage of our cost synergies. We've made significant progress on systems integration. For Veritex, we substantially completed this process last weekend.νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‚¬μ˜ 리더십 및 λ™λ£Œλ“€κ³Όμ˜ κΈ΄λ°€ν•œ ν˜‘λ ₯은 톡합 ν™œλ™μ„ μ‹ μ†ν•˜κ³  효과적으둜 μ‹€ν–‰ν•˜κ³  κ°€μΉ˜ μ°½μΆœμ΄λΌλŠ” 핡심 λͺ©ν‘œμ— 집쀑할 수 μžˆλŠ” 우리의 μ—­λŸ‰μ— μžˆμ–΄ 근본적인 μš”μ†Œμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” Cadence κ²½μ˜μ§„μœΌλ‘œλΆ€ν„° λ§Žμ€ μ˜κ²¬μ„ μˆ˜λ ΄ν•˜μ—¬ 톡합 쑰직의 인재 결정에 μ‹ μ€‘ν•œ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식을 μ·¨ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, 거래 μ’…κ²° 훨씬 이전에 이 μž‘μ—…μ„ μ™„λ£Œν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ λ™λ£Œλ“€μ—κ²Œ 확싀성을 μ œκ³΅ν•˜κ³  λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€μ˜ 상당 뢀뢄에 λŒ€ν•œ 즉각적인 κ°€μ‹œμ„±μ„ ν™•λ³΄ν•˜κ²Œ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ‹œμŠ€ν…œ ν†΅ν•©μ—μ„œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 진전을 μ΄λ£¨μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

This concludes what has been an extremely efficient and well-executed conversion that's only taken 187 days since announcement. We can say with confidence that Veritex is now integrated into Huntington. For Cadence, we're already advanced in our product and data mapping and expect systems migration to occur midyear. This would also represent a highly expedited time frame. Because of these actions, we are already realizing our targeted cost synergies from Veritex, which we expect to be fully included in our run rate by the second quarter.이둜써 λ°œν‘œ ν›„ 단 187일 λ§Œμ— 이루어진 맀우 효율적이고 잘 μ‹€ν–‰λœ μ „ν™˜μ΄ μ™„λ£Œλ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 Veritexκ°€ Huntington에 ν†΅ν•©λ˜μ—ˆλ‹€κ³  μžμ‹  있게 λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦΄ 수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

For Cadence, we expect to begin realizing the identified cost benefits immediately upon closing and reach the full run rate in the fourth quarter of this year. As we deploy the full Huntington franchise in our new markets, we expect to begin benefiting from revenue synergies. This is already the case at Veritex, and we expect this to accelerate now that we are operating on the Huntington platform and our new colleagues have access to the full array of our product platform and capabilities. We would expect a similar pattern at Cadence with some revenue synergies achieved early after close and acceleration in the second half of the year and into 2027 following the systems migration.μΌ€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ˜ 경우, 거래 μ’…λ£Œ μ¦‰μ‹œ ν™•μΈλœ λΉ„μš© 절감 효과λ₯Ό μ‹€ν˜„ν•˜κΈ° μ‹œμž‘ν•˜μ—¬ μ˜¬ν•΄ 4뢄기에 μ™„μ „ν•œ 런레이트(full run rate)에 도달할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄μ˜ 전체 ν”„λžœμ°¨μ΄μ¦ˆλ₯Ό μ „κ°œν•¨μ— 따라 맀좜 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€ 효과λ₯Ό λˆ„λ¦¬κΈ° μ‹œμž‘ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ κΈ°λŒ€ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 이미 λ² λ¦¬ν…μŠ€μ—μ„œ λ‚˜νƒ€λ‚˜κ³  있으며, ν˜„μž¬ ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄ ν”Œλž«νΌμ—μ„œ 운영되고 있고 μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ λ™λ£Œλ“€μ΄ 우리의 전체 μƒν’ˆ ν”Œλž«νΌκ³Ό μ—­λŸ‰μ— μ ‘κ·Όν•  수 있게 λ˜λ©΄μ„œ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ νš¨κ³Όκ°€ 가속화될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μΌ€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ—μ„œλ„ μœ μ‚¬ν•œ νŒ¨ν„΄μ„ κΈ°λŒ€ν•˜κ³  있으며, 거래 μ’…λ£Œ 직후 일뢀 맀좜 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€κ°€ λ‹¬μ„±λ˜κ³  μ‹œμŠ€ν…œ 톡합 이후 μ˜¬ν•΄ ν•˜λ°˜κΈ°μ™€ 2027년에 걸쳐 가속화될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We are excited about how these 2 partnerships will springboard our growth in Texas and across a number of new markets for us. We see extensive opportunities in these areas and across the totality of our expanded footprint, and we intend to invest to drive market growth, density and share of customers' wallet. With that, let me turn it over to Zach to discuss the quarter's financial results in detail. Zachary Wasserman

We delivered exceptional profitability in the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2025, supported by strong organic loan and deposit growth, expanding fee revenues, improving margins, positive operating leverage and excellent credit. For the quarter, earnings per common share was $0.30. On an adjusted basis, excluding acquisition-related expenses and other notable items, EPS was $0.37, up 9% year-over-year. I'll review the drivers of this performance in detail on the next several pages. Turning to Slide 11. Average loans grew 14.4% year-over-year. Excluding the addition of the Veritex portfolio, average loans grew $10.9 billion or 8.6% year-over-year.2025λ…„ 4뢄기와 μ—°κ°„ 전체에 걸쳐 νƒμ›”ν•œ μˆ˜μ΅μ„±μ„ λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 유기적 λŒ€μΆœ 및 예금 증가, 수수료 수읡 ν™•λŒ€, λ§ˆμ§„ κ°œμ„ , 긍정적인 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€, 그리고 μš°μˆ˜ν•œ μ‹ μš©λ„μ— νž˜μž…μ€ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 4λΆ„κΈ° λ³΄ν†΅μ£Όλ‹Ήμˆœμ΄μ΅(EPS)은 0.30λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 인수 κ΄€λ ¨ λΉ„μš© 및 기타 특이 ν•­λͺ©μ„ μ œμ™Έν•œ μ‘°μ • κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œλŠ” EPSκ°€ 0.37λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ μ „λ…„ 동기 λŒ€λΉ„ 9% μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€μŒ λͺ‡ νŽ˜μ΄μ§€μ— 걸쳐 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ‹€μ μ˜ μ£Όμš” 동인듀을 μƒμ„Ένžˆ κ²€ν† ν•˜κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 11둜 λ„˜μ–΄κ°€κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 평균 λŒ€μΆœμž”μ•‘μ€ μ „λ…„ 동기 λŒ€λΉ„ 14.4% μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

This growth was well balanced between core and new initiatives. New initiatives accounted for $1.8 billion in the period and contributed nearly half of the total organic loan growth for the year. Key contributors included our organic expansion into Texas and North and South Carolina, as well as strong performance in our funds finance and financial institutions group commercial verticals. Of the remaining $1.4 billion in loan growth in the fourth quarter from the core, we delivered $500 million from corporate and specialty banking, $400 million from regional banking, $400 million from auto, $400 million from floorplan businesses and $200 million from commercial real estate.μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ„±μž₯은 핡심 사업과 μ‹ κ·œ 사업 간에 κ· ν˜•μžˆκ²Œ μ΄λ£¨μ–΄μ‘ŒμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ‹ κ·œ 사업은 ν•΄λ‹Ή κΈ°κ°„ λ™μ•ˆ 18μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ—°κ°„ 전체 유기적 λŒ€μΆœ μ„±μž₯의 거의 μ ˆλ°˜μ„ κΈ°μ—¬ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ£Όμš” κΈ°μ—¬ μš”μΈμœΌλ‘œλŠ” ν…μ‚¬μŠ€μ™€ λ…ΈμŠ€μΊλ‘€λΌμ΄λ‚˜ 및 μ‚¬μš°μŠ€μΊλ‘€λΌμ΄λ‚˜λ‘œμ˜ 유기적 ν™•μž₯, 그리고 νŽ€λ“œ νŒŒμ΄λ‚ΈμŠ€ 및 κΈˆμœ΅κΈ°κ΄€ κ·Έλ£Ή 상업 λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œμ˜ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 싀적이 ν¬ν•¨λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 4λΆ„κΈ° 핡심 μ‚¬μ—…μ—μ„œ λ°œμƒν•œ λ‚˜λ¨Έμ§€ 14μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ λŒ€μΆœ μ„±μž₯ μ€‘μ—μ„œ, κΈ°μ—… 및 특수 금육 λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œ 5μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬, μ§€μ—­ 금육 λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œ 4μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬, μžλ™μ°¨ κΈˆμœ΅μ—μ„œ 4μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬, ν”Œλ‘œμ–΄ν”Œλžœ μ‚¬μ—…μ—μ„œ 4μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬, 그리고 μƒμ—…μš© λΆ€λ™μ‚°μ—μ„œ 2μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
These gains were partially offset by a $200 million decline in equipment leasing, a $200 million decline in residential real estate balances and a seasonal decline of $100 million in RV/Marine loans. All told, in 2025, we generated organic loan growth of $10.1 billion, which exceeded the $9.5 billion of loans added through our Veritex partnership. This performance underscores the exceptional execution by our colleagues across the company. The businesses are firing on all cylinders, and our teams continue to deliver outstanding organic growth.

On an end-of-period basis, excluding Veritex, core deposits grew $5.5 billion year-over-year or 3.4%. We continue to drive strong volume growth while maintaining disciplined pricing throughout the rate cycle, resulting in a 35% cycle-to-date down beta. This performance is enabled by our sustained focus on growing primary banking relationships across both the Consumer and Commercial segments. Veritex deposits contributed meaningfully to this quarter's growth, while we optimized select acquired funding categories as planned. Together, these dynamics underscore the depth and quality of our relationship-oriented deposit gathering capabilities and the effectiveness of our funding strategy.기말 κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ, Veritexλ₯Ό μ œμ™Έν•œ ν•΅μ‹¬μ˜ˆκΈˆμ€ μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ 55μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ μ¦κ°€ν•˜μ—¬ 3.4% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” 금리 사이클 μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 μ—„κ²©ν•œ 가격 정책을 μœ μ§€ν•˜λ©΄μ„œλ„ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ λ¬ΌλŸ‰ μ„±μž₯을 μ§€μ†ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, κ·Έ κ²°κ³Ό 사이클 λˆ„μ  κΈ°μ€€ 35%의 ν•˜ν–₯ 베타λ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ„±κ³ΌλŠ” μ†ŒλΉ„μž 및 κΈ°μ—… λΆ€λ¬Έ λͺ¨λ‘μ—μ„œ 주거래 관계 ν™•λŒ€μ— μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ§‘μ€‘ν•œ κ²°κ³Όμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

We continue to execute well on our down beta plan. Similar to the third quarter, we quickly implemented actions after the Fed rate reduction in December to achieve a 40% down beta in the last 2 weeks of the fourth quarter. The deposit environment remains competitive. However, our approach to optimizing volume growth and pricing is working. Our goal remains to maximize revenue growth and ensure robust core funding for our continued strong organic loan growth. We will continue to manage our asset yields and funding costs to optimize this outcome. On to Slide 13.

During the quarter, we drove $86 million or 5.6% sequential growth in net interest income. This represents over 14% growth on a year-over-year basis. Net interest margin was 3.15% for the fourth quarter, up 2 basis points from the prior quarter and aligned to our outlook. This is largely driven by contributions from Veritex's core NIM. Expanding on that for a moment, as we've noted, Veritex closed in October, and the final rate marks and detailed loan-level accretion schedule was updated at that time. This update resulted in a modest reduction in expected PAA and modest accretion to tangible book value, excluding onetime costs.이번 λΆ„κΈ° λ™μ•ˆ 순이자이읡(NII)은 8,600만 λ‹¬λŸ¬, μ „λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 5.6% μ„±μž₯을 λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” μ „λ…„ 동기 λŒ€λΉ„ 14% μ΄μƒμ˜ μ„±μž₯을 λ‚˜νƒ€λƒ…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 4λΆ„κΈ° μˆœμ΄μžλ§ˆμ§„(NIM)은 3.15%둜 μ „λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 2bp μƒμŠΉν–ˆμœΌλ©°, λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ μ „λ§μΉ˜μ™€ μΌμΉ˜ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 주둜 Veritex의 핡심 μˆœμ΄μžλ§ˆμ§„ 기여에 μ˜ν•œ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

The updated schedule is noted in the appendix of the presentation for your reference. Moving to fee income on Slide 14. Our fee businesses were strong across virtually every area. Year-over-year, payments grew 5%. Commercial payment revenues continue to be the primary engine of this growth, up 8% year-over-year. Wealth management grew 10%. Adjusted for the sale of a portion of our corporate institutional custody and trust business last quarter, it grew 16%. This was powered by continued household acquisition and assets under management net inflows. Capital markets performed well, delivering its second strongest revenue quarter of all time, trailing only the fourth quarter of 2024.μ—…λ°μ΄νŠΈλœ 일정은 μ°Έκ³ ν•˜μ‹€ 수 μžˆλ„λ‘ ν”„λ ˆμ  ν…Œμ΄μ…˜ 뢀둝에 λͺ…μ‹œλ˜μ–΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 14νŽ˜μ΄μ§€ 수수료 수읡으둜 λ„˜μ–΄κ°€κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 우리의 수수료 사업은 거의 λͺ¨λ“  μ˜μ—­μ—μ„œ κ°•μ„Έλ₯Ό λ³΄μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ „λ…„ 동기 λŒ€λΉ„ 결제 뢀문은 5% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μƒμ—…μš© 결제 수읡이 κ³„μ†ν•΄μ„œ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ„±μž₯의 μ£Όμš” 동λ ₯이 되고 있으며, μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ 8% μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μžμ‚°κ΄€λ¦¬ 뢀문은 10% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ§€λ‚œ λΆ„κΈ° κΈ°μ—… κΈ°κ΄€ μˆ˜νƒ 및 신탁 사업 일뢀 맀각을 μ‘°μ •ν•˜λ©΄ 16% μ„±μž₯ν•œ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 지속적인 고객 가ꡬ 확보와 μš΄μš©μžμ‚° μˆœμœ μž…μ— νž˜μž…μ€ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μžλ³Έμ‹œμž₯ 뢀문은 μš°μˆ˜ν•œ 싀적을 거두며 μ—­λŒ€ 두 번째둜 높은 λΆ„κΈ° μˆ˜μ΅μ„ λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, 2024λ…„ 4λΆ„κΈ°μ—λ§Œ λ’€μ§€λŠ” μˆ˜μ€€μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Some advisory deals did push from the fourth quarter to close early in 2026, and so our first quarter is off to a very good start. Loan and deposit fees are up over 20%, driven by strong loan commitment fees. Based on our solid commercial lending pipelines, we expect this trend to continue over the next several quarters. Clearly, momentum in the fee businesses remains strong, and we anticipate broad-based growth going forward. On the next slide, I'll step back for just a moment to reflect on the multiyear trajectory of these businesses.

On a full year basis, our fee income businesses have been growing at a steady high single-digit CAGR since 2023, and we see this CAGR as sustainable over our long-term planning horizon. As we've highlighted many times, we view 3 businesses: payments, wealth management, and capital markets as having long-term strategic growth opportunities. The financial performance of these businesses validates our strategy, which is focused on expanding where we believe we can offer these value-added services to our customers in a manner that enhances our relationship and meets their needs.

On a core basis, excluding onetime costs and the impact of absorbing Veritex's expense base, Huntington's operating expenses were up just $7 million sequentially or just about 1/2 of 1%. This reflects our cost discipline and focus on continuous expense reengineering, essential elements of our value creation flywheel. We set out in early 2025 to deliver positive operating leverage for the year, and we delivered results well above that budget. Coming into the year, our plan assumed approximately 100 basis points of positive operating leverage. This was a solid achievable planning target given our growth agenda and the level of strategic investment we intended to sustain.μΌνšŒμ„± λΉ„μš©κ³Ό Veritex의 λΉ„μš© 기반 흑수 영ν–₯을 μ œμ™Έν•œ 핡심 κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ, Huntington의 μš΄μ˜λΉ„μš©μ€ μ „ λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 단 700만 λ‹¬λŸ¬ μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ΄λŠ” μ•½ 0.5%에 λΆˆκ³Όν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 우리의 λΉ„μš© 규율과 지속적인 λΉ„μš© μž¬μ„€κ³„μ— λŒ€ν•œ 집쀑을 λ°˜μ˜ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ, μ΄λŠ” 우리의 κ°€μΉ˜ 창좜 ν”ŒλΌμ΄νœ μ˜ 핡심 μš”μ†Œμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 2025λ…„ μ΄ˆμ— μ—°κ°„ 긍정적 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€λ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ² λ‹€λŠ” λͺ©ν‘œλ₯Ό μ„Έμ› κ³ , κ·Έ μ˜ˆμ‚°μ„ 훨씬 μƒνšŒν•˜λŠ” 싀적을 λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—°μ΄ˆμ— 우리의 κ³„νšμ€ μ•½ 100bp의 긍정적 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€λ₯Ό κ°€μ •ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 우리의 μ„±μž₯ μ˜μ œμ™€ μœ μ§€ν•˜κ³ μž ν–ˆλ˜ μ „λž΅μ  투자 μˆ˜μ€€μ„ κ³ λ €ν•  λ•Œ κ²¬μ‹€ν•˜κ³  달성 κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ κ³„νš λͺ©ν‘œμ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
As we drove significant outperformance on revenues over the course of the year, we delivered a much wider 290 basis points of adjusted operating leverage while accelerating investments across our enterprise. This outcome is an expression of the model we've been building toward and will drive substantial value creation. Slide 17 recaps our capital position. Over the last year, we drove adjusted CET1 higher. Our capital management strategy remains focused on our top priority of funding high-return loan growth, then supporting our strong dividend yield, and finally, capital return and all other uses.연쀑 λ§€μΆœμ—μ„œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 초과 μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” κΈ°μ—… μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 투자λ₯Ό κ°€μ†ν™”ν•˜λŠ” λ™μ‹œμ— 290bp(λ² μ΄μ‹œμŠ€ 포인트)λΌλŠ” 훨씬 더 넓은 μ‘°μ • μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€λ₯Ό μ‹€ν˜„ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ„±κ³ΌλŠ” μš°λ¦¬κ°€ κ΅¬μΆ•ν•΄μ˜¨ λͺ¨λΈμ˜ ν‘œν˜„μ΄λ©° μƒλ‹Ήν•œ κ°€μΉ˜ μ°½μΆœμ„ μ΄λŒμ–΄λ‚Ό κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 17은 우리의 자본 ν¬μ§€μ…˜μ„ μš”μ•½ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ§€λ‚œ ν•œ ν•΄ λ™μ•ˆ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ‘°μ • CET1(λ³΄ν†΅μ£Όμžλ³ΈλΉ„μœ¨)을 λ†’μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 우리의 자본 관리 μ „λž΅μ€ 고수읡 λŒ€μΆœ μ„±μž₯에 μžκΈˆμ„ μ§€μ›ν•˜λŠ” 것을 μ΅œμš°μ„  μˆœμœ„λ‘œ ν•˜κ³ , κ·Έ λ‹€μŒμœΌλ‘œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ λ°°λ‹Ή 수읡λ₯ μ„ μ§€μ›ν•˜λ©°, λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μœΌλ‘œ 자본 ν™˜μ› 및 기타 λͺ¨λ“  μš©λ„μ— μ΄ˆμ μ„ λ§žμΆ”κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
As we have noted, we intend to continue driving adjusted CET1 toward the midpoint of our 9% to 10% operating range. Given our projections for strong capital generation, we expect to have capacity to add approximately $50 million per quarter of repurchases to the mix of distribution in 2026 following the close of our partnership with Cadence. Slide 18 gives an overview of how the flywheel of our operating and economic model is generating powerful returns and driving shareholder value. In 2025, we grew adjusted ROTCE by 40 basis points through robust PPNR expansion while simultaneously increasing our capital base.μ•žμ„œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦° 바와 같이, μ €ν¬λŠ” μ‘°μ • CET1 λΉ„μœ¨μ„ λͺ©ν‘œ 운영 λ²”μœ„μΈ 9%~10%의 μ€‘κ°„κ°’μœΌλ‘œ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ λŒμ–΄μ˜¬λ¦΄ κ³„νšμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 자본 창좜 전망을 κ³ λ €ν•  λ•Œ, Cadenceμ™€μ˜ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ μ’…λ£Œ 이후 2026λ…„λΆ€ν„°λŠ” λΆ„κΈ°λ‹Ή μ•½ 5천만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ μžμ‚¬μ£Ό λ§€μž…μ„ λ°°λ‹Ή λ―ΉμŠ€μ— μΆ”κ°€ν•  μ—¬λ ₯이 μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 18은 저희 운영 및 경제 λͺ¨λΈμ˜ μ„ μˆœν™˜ ꡬ쑰가 μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ μˆ˜μ΅μ„ μ°½μΆœν•˜κ³  μ£Όμ£Ό κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ œκ³ ν•˜λŠ”μ§€ λ³΄μ—¬μ€λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2025λ…„μ—λŠ” κ²¬κ³ ν•œ PPNR ν™•λŒ€λ₯Ό 톡해 μ‘°μ • ROTCEλ₯Ό 40bp μ„±μž₯μ‹œν‚€λŠ” λ™μ‹œμ— 자본 κΈ°λ°˜λ„ ν™•λŒ€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We have grown tangible book value 19% year-over-year, while returning 40% of earnings through dividends. And as noted, we intend to initiate programmatic share repurchases in the near term. Turning to Slide 19. Credit quality continues to perform very well with net charge-offs of 24 basis points. Forward-looking credit metrics remain stable. The criticized asset ratio rose to 4.2%, primarily due to Veritex's commercial real estate loans that we identified during diligence and remains within our historical range. The nonperforming asset ratio was 63 basis points and has trended within our expected range for several quarters.

We're providing guidance for Huntington on a stand-alone basis. But given that we're only a few days away from closing our partnership with Cadence, we thought it would be helpful to give an initial view of how this might contribute to our 2026 results. Naturally, we will refine this outlook after the close. Starting with net interest income, we expect growth on a stand-alone basis between 10% and 13%, supported by 11% to 12% growth in loans and 8% to 9% growth in deposits. We anticipate further net interest margin expansion this year, driven primarily by lower hedge drag and fixed asset repricing.ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄ 단독 κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ Cadenceμ™€μ˜ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ μ’…λ£Œκ°€ 뢈과 λ©°μΉ  μ•žμœΌλ‘œ λ‹€κ°€μ˜¨ 만큼, 이것이 2026λ…„ 싀적에 μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ κΈ°μ—¬ν•  수 μžˆμ„μ§€μ— λŒ€ν•œ 초기 전망을 μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” 것이 도움이 될 것이라고 μƒκ°ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹Ήμ—°νžˆ 거래 μ’…λ£Œ ν›„ 이 전망을 λ”μš± 정ꡐ화할 μ˜ˆμ •μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μˆœμ΄μžμˆ˜μ΅λΆ€ν„° μ‹œμž‘ν•˜λ©΄, 단독 κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ 10%μ—μ„œ 13% μ‚¬μ΄μ˜ μ„±μž₯을 μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  있으며, μ΄λŠ” 11%μ—μ„œ 12%의 λŒ€μΆœ μ„±μž₯κ³Ό 8%μ—μ„œ 9%의 예금 μ„±μž₯에 μ˜ν•΄ λ’·λ°›μΉ¨λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ˜¬ν•΄ μˆœμ΄μžλ§ˆμ§„μ˜ μΆ”κ°€ ν™•λŒ€λ₯Ό μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  있으며, μ΄λŠ” 주둜 ν—€μ§€ λΆ€λ‹΄ κ°μ†Œμ™€ κ³ μ •μžμ‚° μž¬κ°€κ²© 결정에 μ˜ν•΄ 주도될 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We expect the NII contribution from Cadence this year to be approximately between $1.85 billion to $1.9 billion, including PAA. We will update this outlook inclusive of PAA later in the first quarter after we've had the opportunity to do the analysis post closing. In terms of earning assets, our cash plus securities portfolio is currently about 25% of total assets, and we expect to remain approximately at this level post closing. On the topic of quarterly expectations for deposit and loan growth, we're expecting to see loans grow faster than deposits in the first quarter as we continue to optimize the funding we have received from Veritex and begin the integration of Cadence.μ €ν¬λŠ” μ˜¬ν•΄ Cadenceλ‘œλΆ€ν„°μ˜ 순이자이읡(NII) 기여뢄이 PAAλ₯Ό ν¬ν•¨ν•˜μ—¬ μ•½ 18μ–΅ 5천만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 19μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ 사이가 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 거래 μ’…λ£Œ ν›„ 뢄석을 μ™„λ£Œν•˜λ©΄ 1λΆ„κΈ° ν›„λ°˜μ— PAAλ₯Ό ν¬ν•¨ν•œ 전망을 μ—…λ°μ΄νŠΈν•  μ˜ˆμ •μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μˆ˜μ΅μžμ‚° μΈ‘λ©΄μ—μ„œ, ν˜„μž¬ ν˜„κΈˆκ³Ό μœ κ°€μ¦κΆŒ ν¬νŠΈν΄λ¦¬μ˜€λŠ” μ΄μžμ‚°μ˜ μ•½ 25%λ₯Ό μ°¨μ§€ν•˜κ³  있으며, 거래 μ’…λ£Œ 후에도 이 μˆ˜μ€€μ„ μœ μ§€ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 예금 및 λŒ€μΆœ μ„±μž₯에 λŒ€ν•œ 뢄기별 전망과 κ΄€λ ¨ν•˜μ—¬, 1λΆ„κΈ°μ—λŠ” Veritexλ‘œλΆ€ν„° 받은 μžκΈˆμ„ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ΅œμ ν™”ν•˜κ³  Cadence 톡합을 μ‹œμž‘ν•¨μ— 따라 λŒ€μΆœμ΄ μ˜ˆκΈˆλ³΄λ‹€ λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ μ„±μž₯ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
After that, in Q2, Q3 and Q4, we expect to see deposits growing at a level consistent with loan growth as our normal organic process of core funding loans continues. We expect to exit 2026 with our deposit growth in dollar terms, equaling our asset growth, giving us strong funding momentum heading into 2027. Moving to noninterest income. We expect fee revenues to grow between 13% and 16%. This represents the continued strong contributions from our 3 core value-added services, further growth in our loan commitment fees and the contribution from the new Capital Markets teams at TM Capital and Janney, that we added at the year-end 2025.κ·Έ 이후 2λΆ„κΈ°, 3λΆ„κΈ°, 4λΆ„κΈ°μ—λŠ” 예금이 λŒ€μΆœ μ„±μž₯λ₯ κ³Ό μΌμΉ˜ν•˜λŠ” μˆ˜μ€€μœΌλ‘œ 증가할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 핡심 자금으둜 λŒ€μΆœμ„ μ‘°λ‹¬ν•˜λŠ” 정상적인 유기적 ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€κ°€ 지속됨에 λ”°λ₯Έ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2026λ…„ λ§μ—λŠ” 예금 증가앑이 μžμ‚° 증가앑과 동일해져 2027λ…„μœΌλ‘œ ν–₯ν•˜λŠ” κ°•λ ₯ν•œ μžκΈˆμ‘°λ‹¬ λͺ¨λ©˜ν…€μ„ 확보할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ „λ§ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

We expect Cadence to add approximately $300 million in fee revenue. We plan to provide an update on our expected revenue synergies later in the first quarter. We anticipate core expenses will grow 10% to 11%, and we expect to deliver a baseline of 150 to 200 basis points of operating leverage. This outlook includes the expected cost synergies we've targeted from Veritex, which we expect to be fully in the run rate of our cost base by the second quarter. We estimate Cadence will increase our expense base by approximately $1.1 billion.μ €ν¬λŠ” Cadenceκ°€ μ•½ 3μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ 수수료 μˆ˜μ΅μ„ μΆ”κ°€ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ˜ˆμƒ 맀좜 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€μ— λŒ€ν•΄μ„œλŠ” 1λΆ„κΈ° ν›„λ°˜μ— μ—…λ°μ΄νŠΈλ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•  κ³„νšμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 핡심 λΉ„μš©μ€ 10%μ—μ„œ 11% 증가할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜λ©°, 150~200bp의 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€ 기쀀선을 달성할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ κΈ°λŒ€ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이 μ „λ§μ—λŠ” Veritexλ‘œλΆ€ν„° λͺ©ν‘œλ‘œ ν•œ μ˜ˆμƒ λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€κ°€ ν¬ν•¨λ˜μ–΄ 있으며, 2λΆ„κΈ°κΉŒμ§€ λΉ„μš© 기반의 λŸ°λ ˆμ΄νŠΈμ— μ™„μ „νžˆ 반영될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Similar to Veritex, we expect to begin realizing cost synergies almost immediately after closing with the full benefits run rating into expenses in the fourth quarter. We expect net charge-offs for the year to be between 25 and 35 basis points. Given our current starting point, we think losses will likely be at the lower end and normalize closer to the midpoint of that range over time. The combination with Cadence doesn't change this view. The effective tax rate for the year is expected to be between 19% and 20%. The fully diluted average share count for the year, inclusive of Cadence-related issuance is expected to be approximately 2.020 billion shares.λ² λ¦¬ν…μŠ€μ™€ μœ μ‚¬ν•˜κ²Œ, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 거래 μ’…λ£Œ 직후뢀터 μ¦‰μ‹œ λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€ 효과λ₯Ό μ‹€ν˜„ν•˜κΈ° μ‹œμž‘ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜λ©°, 4λΆ„κΈ°μ—λŠ” μ™„μ „ν•œ νš¨κ³Όκ°€ λΉ„μš©μ— 반영될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ „λ§ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—°κ°„ μˆœλŒ€μ†μƒκ°λ₯ μ€ 25~35bp 사이가 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν˜„μž¬ μΆœλ°œμ μ„ κ³ λ €ν•  λ•Œ, 손싀은 ν•΄λ‹Ή λ²”μœ„μ˜ ν•˜λ‹¨μ— μœ„μΉ˜ν•  κ°€λŠ₯성이 λ†’μœΌλ©°, μ‹œκ°„μ΄ 지남에 따라 쀑간값에 κ°€κΉκ²Œ 정상화될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ νŒλ‹¨ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μΌ€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ™€μ˜ 결합은 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 전망을 λ³€κ²½μ‹œν‚€μ§€ μ•ŠμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—°κ°„ μœ νš¨μ„Έμœ¨μ€ 19%μ—μ„œ 20% 사이가 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μΌ€μ΄λ˜μŠ€ κ΄€λ ¨ μ‹ μ£Ό λ°œν–‰μ„ ν¬ν•¨ν•œ μ—°κ°„ 완전희석 평균 μ£Όμ‹μˆ˜λŠ” μ•½ 20μ–΅ 2천만 μ£Όκ°€ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
For the first quarter, we expect a weighted average share count to be approximately 1.9 billion. Cadence's anticipated February 1 close will result in a partial quarter impact to several income statement and balance sheet items. Also, with the addition of Cadence, we have a new class of preferred shares, which we have addressed in the footnote in the updated appendix slide.

First, our current 2026 forecast for Huntington's stand-alone growth in NII, in assets, deposits and fees generally exceeds the growth we've experienced in these categories in 2025, while our expected operating leverage is at the top end of our typical range. This underscores our focus on delivering strong organic growth even as we move through our integration with Cadence. Second, we are executing against our integration plans. As noted, we expect to realize the cost synergies from Veritex in the second quarter and from Cadence in the fourth quarter.λ¨Όμ €, ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄μ˜ 2026λ…„ 단독 κΈ°μ€€ NII, μžμ‚°, 예금 및 수수료 μ„±μž₯ 전망은 일반적으둜 2025년에 κ²½ν—˜ν•œ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ λΆ€λ¬Έλ“€μ˜ μ„±μž₯을 μƒνšŒν•˜κ³  있으며, μ˜ˆμƒ μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€λŠ” 우리의 일반적인 λ²”μœ„ 쀑 상단에 μœ„μΉ˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” Cadenceμ™€μ˜ 톡합을 μ§„ν–‰ν•˜λŠ” κ³Όμ •μ—μ„œλ„ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 유기적 μ„±μž₯을 λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜λŠ” 데 μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŒμ„ λ³΄μ—¬μ€λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‘˜μ§Έ, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 톡합 κ³„νšμ„ μ‹€ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ•žμ„œ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν•œ 바와 같이, Veritexλ‘œλΆ€ν„°μ˜ λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€λŠ” 2뢄기에, Cadenceλ‘œλΆ€ν„°μ˜ λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€λŠ” 4뢄기에 μ‹€ν˜„λ  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
In terms of the revenue synergies, we have already begun to benefit from incremental lending and capital markets activity with former Veritex customers. And Cadence bankers are already actively engaged with their customers to educate them about the broader product platform and capabilities that we will be able to offer. We believe this will contribute to incremental revenue growth in the back half of 2026 and into 2027. Turning to Slide 21. We remain confident in our long-term trajectory.

The investments we're making position Huntington for continued outperformance. Concluding on Slide 23, our flywheel of value creation is working and poised to accelerate. Our differentiated business model drives strong growth and profitability. As our profitability expands and we generate efficiency through cost reengineering, we increase our capacity to invest. As we drive robust investment back into our business, we grow our competitive advantage. That competitive advantage drives further market differentiation and customer expansion, driving revenue growth and sustainable share gains in a virtuous cycle.μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ§„ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” νˆ¬μžλ“€μ€ Huntington이 μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μš°μˆ˜ν•œ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‚Ό 수 μžˆλ„λ‘ μžλ¦¬λ§€κΉ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œ 23으둜 λ§ˆλ¬΄λ¦¬ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ, 우리의 κ°€μΉ˜ 창좜 ν”ŒλΌμ΄νœ (μ„ μˆœν™˜ ꡬ쑰)이 μž‘λ™ν•˜κ³  있으며 가속화될 μ€€λΉ„κ°€ λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 우리의 μ°¨λ³„ν™”λœ λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€ λͺ¨λΈμ€ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ μ„±μž₯κ³Ό μˆ˜μ΅μ„±μ„ κ²¬μΈν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μˆ˜μ΅μ„±μ΄ ν™•λŒ€λ˜κ³  λΉ„μš© μž¬μ„€κ³„λ₯Ό 톡해 νš¨μœ¨μ„±μ„ μ°½μΆœν•¨μ— 따라, 우리의 투자 μ—­λŸ‰μ΄ μ¦κ°€ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 사업에 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 투자λ₯Ό μ§‘ν–‰ν•¨μœΌλ‘œμ¨, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 경쟁 μš°μœ„λ₯Ό ν‚€μ›Œλ‚˜κ°‘λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 경쟁 μš°μœ„λŠ” μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œμ˜ 좔가적인 차별화와 고객 ν™•λŒ€λ₯Ό μ΄λŒμ–΄λ‚΄λ©°, μ„ μˆœν™˜ ꡬ쑰 μ†μ—μ„œ 맀좜 μ„±μž₯κ³Ό 지속 κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ μ‹œμž₯점유율 ν™•λŒ€λ₯Ό κ²¬μΈν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Looking ahead to 2026, we believe the benefits of our strong organic growth and recent partnerships will enable further expansion of our investment capacity over the next several years. This will increasingly distinguish us from our peer set and drive substantial shareholder value. With that, we'll conclude our prepared remarks and move to Q&A. Eric Wasserstrom

L. Erika Penala: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division The first question is just a clarifying question on the expense trajectory, both the baseline and the Cadence addition and how we layer on the cost savings. So given that you gave the guidance on stand-alone, I'm guessing the baseline for core expenses would be $4.825-ish billion, which would exclude 2 months of Veritex, and then we layer on the stand-alone growth. I guess the other part of the question is that $1.1 billion is equal to 11 months of Cadence based on consensus '26. And so I'm wondering, particularly as I think about Brant's comments, if we then layer on the cost saves. And then I just have a follow-up.**L.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Sure. I'm not sure exactly what your question was there, Erika, but I'll take it and sort of just unpack where the expense guidance is. Fundamentally, what we see at this point is underlying Huntington expense growth in the mid-single digits, aligned to generate 1.5 to 2 points of operating leverage. And then with Veritex bringing in the entirety of the Veritex cost base. And also, I would note the 2 small capital markets businesses that we added on January 1, those add about 1 point of total Huntington expense growth, obviously, more revenues as well, but that piece comes in. And so the totality of all of that together is the 10% to 11% year-on-year growth, which generates really positive operating leverage, 150 basis points to 200 basis points, clearly on top of the 300 basis points of operating leverage we generated in 2025. And then Cadence is the $1.1 billion added on, as you noted, it's 11 months of expenses. It represents the full completion of the cost synergy program for both Veritex and Cadence by Q2 and Q4, respectively. And aligned to the previous guidance we've given about 75%, 3/4 of the Cadence cost synergies accruing in 2026. I think what is also in there, clearly, I tried to highlight this in some of my prepared remarks, is continued investment back into the business. And we think that, that is a terrific model, not only to drive the kind of revenue performance we're achieving in '26, but even more importantly, over the longer term and continue to drive the competitive and share gains that we've got. So all of that is embedded in that, and we think it's the right model and the right posture at this point.**Zachary Wasserman:** λ„€, 질문이 μ •ν™•νžˆ λ¬΄μ—‡μ΄μ—ˆλŠ”μ§€λŠ” 잘 λͺ¨λ₯΄κ² μ§€λ§Œ, λΉ„μš© κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€κ°€ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ κ΅¬μ„±λ˜μ–΄ μžˆλŠ”μ§€ μ„€λͺ…λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 기본적으둜 ν˜„ μ‹œμ μ—μ„œ ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄μ˜ κΈ°μ € λΉ„μš© μ¦κ°€μœ¨μ€ 쀑간 ν•œ μžλ¦Ώμˆ˜λŒ€(mid-single digits)둜 보고 있으며, μ΄λŠ” 1.5~2포인트의 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€(operating leverage)λ₯Ό μ°½μΆœν•˜λŠ” λ°©ν–₯으둜 맞좰져 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 여기에 λ² λ¦¬ν…μŠ€ 인수둜 μΈν•œ 전체 λΉ„μš© 기반이 μΆ”κ°€λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 1μ›” 1일에 μΆ”κ°€ν•œ 2개의 μ†Œκ·œλͺ¨ μžλ³Έμ‹œμž₯ 사업뢀도 μ–ΈκΈ‰ν•˜κ³  싢은데, 이듀이 ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄ 전체 λΉ„μš© μ¦κ°€μœ¨μ— μ•½ 1포인트λ₯Ό λ”ν•˜κ²Œ λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ¬Όλ‘  λ§€μΆœλ„ ν•¨κ»˜ μ¦κ°€ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ, λΉ„μš© μΈ‘λ©΄μ—μ„œλŠ” κ·Έ 정도가 μΆ”κ°€λ˜λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이 λͺ¨λ“  것을 μ’…ν•©ν•˜λ©΄ μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ 10~11% μ„±μž₯이 λ‚˜μ˜€λŠ”λ°, μ΄λŠ” μ‹€μ§ˆμ μœΌλ‘œ 긍정적인 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€(operating leverage)λ₯Ό μ°½μΆœν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 150~200bp(λ² μ΄μ‹œμŠ€ 포인트)μΈλ°μš”, μ΄λŠ” λͺ…λ°±νžˆ 2025년에 λ‹¬μ„±ν•œ 300bp의 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€μ— λ”ν•΄μ§€λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 λ§μ”€ν•˜μ‹  λŒ€λ‘œ CadenceλŠ” 11μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬κ°€ μΆ”κ°€λ˜λŠ”λ°, μ΄λŠ” 11κ°œμ›”μΉ˜ λΉ„μš©μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” Veritex와 Cadence μ–‘μͺ½μ˜ λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€ ν”„λ‘œκ·Έλž¨μ΄ 각각 2뢄기와 4λΆ„κΈ°κΉŒμ§€ μ™„μ „νžˆ μ™„λ£Œλ˜λŠ” 것을 λ‚˜νƒ€λƒ…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 Cadence λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€μ˜ μ•½ 75%, 즉 3/4이 2026년에 λ°œμƒν•œλ‹€λŠ” 이전 κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ™€λ„ μΌμΉ˜ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ 여기에 λͺ…ν™•νžˆ ν¬ν•¨λ˜μ–΄ μžˆλŠ” 것은, μ œκ°€ 사전 λ°œμ–Έμ—μ„œ κ°•μ‘°ν•˜λ €κ³  ν–ˆλ˜ 뢀뢄인데, 사업에 λŒ€ν•œ 지속적인 μž¬νˆ¬μžμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이것이 26년에 λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” 맀좜 μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό κ²¬μΈν•˜λŠ” ν›Œλ₯­ν•œ λͺ¨λΈμΌ 뿐만 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ, 더 μ€‘μš”ν•˜κ²ŒλŠ” μž₯κΈ°μ μœΌλ‘œλ„ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ ν™•λ³΄ν•œ 경쟁 μš°μœ„μ™€ μ‹œμž₯ 점유율 증가λ₯Ό μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ΄λŒμ–΄κ°ˆ 수 μžˆλŠ” λͺ¨λΈμ΄λΌκ³  μƒκ°ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이 λͺ¨λ“  것이 κ·Έ μ•ˆμ— λ°˜μ˜λ˜μ–΄ 있으며, ν˜„ μ‹œμ μ—μ„œ μ˜¬λ°”λ₯Έ λͺ¨λΈμ΄μž μ μ ˆν•œ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식이라고 νŒλ‹¨ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
L. Erika Penala: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division Got it. That's clear. So that addition includes both cost saves and investments back into the business. And the second follow-up question I had, maybe this is more for Steve and Brant. I thought it was notable that when you talk about Veritex and Cadence, you say the word partnership very intentionally. Maybe talk about how your approach has been generating more goodwill in order to perhaps create revenue synergies and the cost synergies. And perhaps a better time line than other traditional acquisitions that are perhaps not treated as partnerships.**L.

Stephen Steinour: Chairman, President & CEO Erika, great question, and I'm going to let Brant answer this for the most part because he's been on point driving this, literally from the outset. But the format of the partnership has been incredibly beneficial to us. And we have great partners in both Malcolm Holland and Dan Rollins and their teams. And because we've been able to work together very tightly, and Brant will expand on this significantly, we are in a much better position with confidence on both the expense and the revenue synergy side.

Brantley Standridge: Senior EVP and President of Consumer & Regional Banking Erika, thank you for the question. One of the things that partnership has allowed us to do is to really move with greater speed and rigor on some of the key decisions. And as it relates to Board decisions, management decisions, all of our colleague decisions, organizational structure decisions, all of those have been decided and communicated. That creates a high level of certainty for the colleagues of both Veritex and Cadence. It creates a lot of familiarity for them. And frankly, gives us a lot of confidence in our ability to deliver on the value creation given that we've created so much certainty for them so quickly. The other component is, as you know, a large percentage of the cost synergies revolve around people. And so moving quickly to decide on or make all the key people decisions in the case of Cadence gives us a line of sight to the majority of our cost synergies there. So that partnership approach is -- clearly gives us some advantage or a lot of advantages when we think about both cost and revenue synergies.**Brantley Standridge:** 질문 κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ 톡해 저희가 ν•  수 μžˆμ—ˆλ˜ 것 쀑 ν•˜λ‚˜λŠ” μ£Όμš” μ˜μ‚¬κ²°μ •λ“€μ„ 훨씬 더 λΉ λ₯΄κ³  μ—„κ²©ν•˜κ²Œ μ§„ν–‰ν•  수 μžˆμ—ˆλ‹€λŠ” μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄μ‚¬νšŒ κ²°μ •, κ²½μ˜μ§„ κ²°μ •, λͺ¨λ“  직원 κ΄€λ ¨ κ²°μ •, 쑰직 ꡬ쑰 κ²°μ • λ“± 이 λͺ¨λ“  것듀이 이미 κ²°μ •λ˜κ³  κ³΅μ§€λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” Veritex와 Cadence 양사 μ§μ›λ“€μ—κ²Œ 높은 μˆ˜μ€€μ˜ 확싀성을 μ œκ³΅ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλ“€μ—κ²Œ λ§Žμ€ μΉœμˆ™ν•¨μ„ λ§Œλ“€μ–΄μ£ΌλŠ” 것이죠. μ†”μ§νžˆ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬λ©΄, μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ μ§μ›λ“€μ—κ²Œ λ§Žμ€ 확싀성을 μ œκ³΅ν–ˆκΈ° λ•Œλ¬Έμ— κ°€μΉ˜ μ°½μΆœμ„ μ‹€ν˜„ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” 저희 λŠ₯λ ₯에 λŒ€ν•΄ 큰 확신을 κ°–κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 또 λ‹€λ₯Έ μš”μ†ŒλŠ”, μ•„μ‹œλ‹€μ‹œν”Ό λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€(cost synergies)의 상당 뢀뢄이 인λ ₯κ³Ό κ΄€λ ¨λ˜μ–΄ μžˆλ‹€λŠ” μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ Cadence의 경우 λͺ¨λ“  핡심 인λ ₯ 결정을 μ‹ μ†ν•˜κ²Œ λ‚΄λ¦ΌμœΌλ‘œμ¨ λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€μ˜ λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ„ κ°€μ‹œν™”ν•  수 있게 λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식은 λΉ„μš©κ³Ό 맀좜 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€ μ–‘λ©΄μ—μ„œ λΆ„λͺ…νžˆ λ§Žμ€ 이점을 μ œκ³΅ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP I'll demur on giving you kind of quarterly guidance, Jon. I do appreciate it. Look, if I take a step back, for us, what's important is driving for positive operating leverage. And as we've noted sort of a number of times, even in the prepared remarks, highlighted this for 2025, we come into the year thinking somewhere between 100 and 200 basis points of operating leverage is a really good level. It supports the long-term earnings growth rate that we want to achieve. It also is the right balance for us as we execute that flywheel model, driving reengineering into baseline costs, reinvesting deeply back into the business to really power continued long-term revenue growth. And so I think that's the approach that we're taking, and we think it's the right one, as I noted before. I will also highlight, if you look at that guidance slide, I mean just stare at that plus Cadence column, the marginal profitability that we're adding as we bring Cadence into the business is really significant. It's a 50% marginal efficiency ratio, and that's even before the full cost synergies. So all of this for us, adds up to an earnings growth trajectory that continues to meet our objectives and generate ultimately the long-term financial commitments that we've set, importantly, including that 18% to 19% return on capital.**Zachary Wasserman:** 뢄기별 κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λ₯Ό λ“œλ¦¬κΈ°λŠ” μ–΄λ ΅μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€, Jon. 질문 κ°μ‚¬λ“œλ¦½λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•œ 발짝 λ¬ΌλŸ¬μ„œμ„œ 보면, μ €ν¬μ—κ²Œ μ€‘μš”ν•œ 것은 긍정적인 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€(operating leverage)λ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ€€λΉ„λœ λ°œμ–Έμ—μ„œλ„ μ—¬λŸ¬ μ°¨λ‘€ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν–ˆλ“―μ΄, 2025λ…„μ˜ 경우 100~200bp의 μ˜μ—… λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€κ°€ 맀우 μ μ ˆν•œ μˆ˜μ€€μ΄λΌκ³  μƒκ°ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 저희가 λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ³ μž ν•˜λŠ” μž₯κΈ° 수읡 μ„±μž₯λ₯ μ„ λ’·λ°›μΉ¨ν•΄μ€λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ ν”ŒλΌμ΄νœ  λͺ¨λΈμ„ μ‹€ν–‰ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ λ¦¬μ—”μ§€λ‹ˆμ–΄λ§μ„ 톡해 κΈ°λ³Έ λΉ„μš©μ„ μ ˆκ°ν•˜κ³ , 이λ₯Ό λ‹€μ‹œ 사업에 깊이 μž¬νˆ¬μžν•˜μ—¬ 지속적인 μž₯κΈ° 맀좜 μ„±μž₯을 κ²¬μΈν•˜λŠ” 데 μžˆμ–΄ μ μ ˆν•œ κ· ν˜•μ μ΄κΈ°λ„ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ·¨ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” μ ‘κ·Ό 방식이 λ°”λ‘œ 이것이고, μ•žμ„œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦° κ²ƒμ²˜λŸΌ 이것이 μ˜¬λ°”λ₯Έ λ°©ν–₯이라고 μƒκ°ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ κ°•μ‘°ν•˜κ³  싢은 것은, κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€ μŠ¬λΌμ΄λ“œλ₯Ό λ³΄μ‹œλ©΄, κ·Έ ν”ŒλŸ¬μŠ€ Cadence μ»¬λŸΌμ„ μžμ„Ένžˆ λ³΄μ‹œλ©΄, Cadenceλ₯Ό 사업에 ν†΅ν•©ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ μΆ”κ°€λ˜λŠ” ν•œκ³„ μˆ˜μ΅μ„±(marginal profitability)이 정말 μƒλ‹Ήν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•œκ³„ νš¨μœ¨μ„± λΉ„μœ¨(marginal efficiency ratio)이 50%인데, μ΄λŠ” μ™„μ „ν•œ λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€κ°€ μ‹€ν˜„λ˜κΈ° μ „μ˜ μˆ˜μΉ˜μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ 이 λͺ¨λ“  것이 μš°λ¦¬μ—κ²ŒλŠ” λͺ©ν‘œλ₯Ό 계속 λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜λŠ” 수읡 μ„±μž₯ κΆ€λ„λ‘œ 이어지며, κΆκ·Ήμ μœΌλ‘œλŠ” μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ„€μ •ν•œ μž₯κΈ° 재무 λͺ©ν‘œλ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ²Œ λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 특히 μ€‘μš”ν•œ 것은 18%μ—μ„œ 19%의 자본수읡λ₯ (return on capital)을 ν¬ν•¨ν•œλ‹€λŠ” μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

On Slide 20, you talk about the revenue-producing initiatives that are embedded in the expense guide. How material are those? And then what revenue synergies, if any, from Veritex and Cadence is included in the guide?**Jon Arfstrom:**

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Yes. Good question again. And the answer is very little of the revenue synergies are baked into the guidance at this point. This continues to be aligned to the longer-term objectives that we've set and we discussed at the Cadence partnership announcement call. I think as Brant highlighted in his prepared remarks, our expectation is to share a deep dive around where we expect the revenue synergies to be later this quarter in a further conference and then to layer that on and provide guidance around that. So a lot more to come there, and we're very excited about it. If you think about the investments into the business, we've been growing investments back into the company at about a 20% clip for 5 years in a row, and our expectation is to continue to be the same. And the focus areas for those investments really continue to be digital technology development and capabilities across all areas of our business, marketing to acquire new customers. There's going to be a terrific opportunity to deploy digital acquisition across the new partnered, acquired footprints and then people to build out the businesses that we've been growing, and we'll continue to do that.**Zachary Wasserman:** λ„€, 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹΅λ³€λ“œλ¦¬μžλ©΄, ν˜„μž¬ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ—λŠ” 맀좜 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€(revenue synergies)κ°€ 거의 λ°˜μ˜λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμ§€ μ•ŠμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” μΌ€μ΄λ˜μŠ€ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ λ°œν‘œ λ‹Ήμ‹œ λ…Όμ˜ν–ˆλ˜ μž₯κΈ° λͺ©ν‘œμ™€ 계속 μΌμΉ˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λΈŒλžœνŠΈκ°€ μ€€λΉ„λœ λ°œμ–Έμ—μ„œ κ°•μ‘°ν–ˆλ“―μ΄, 이번 λΆ„κΈ° ν›„λ°˜μ— 별도 컨퍼런슀λ₯Ό 톡해 맀좜 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€κ°€ μ–΄λŠ μˆ˜μ€€μ— 이λ₯Ό κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜λŠ”μ§€ μ‹¬μΈ΅μ μœΌλ‘œ κ³΅μœ ν•˜κ³ , 이λ₯Ό λ°˜μ˜ν•œ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•  κ³„νšμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ•žμœΌλ‘œ κ³΅κ°œν•  λ‚΄μš©μ΄ 많고, 저희도 맀우 κΈ°λŒ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 사업 투자 μΈ‘λ©΄μ—μ„œ 보면, μ €ν¬λŠ” 5λ…„ 연속 μ•½ 20% μˆ˜μ€€μœΌλ‘œ νšŒμ‚¬μ— λŒ€ν•œ 투자λ₯Ό λŠ˜λ €μ™”μœΌλ©°, μ•žμœΌλ‘œλ„ λ™μΌν•œ μˆ˜μ€€μ„ μœ μ§€ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 투자의 핡심 μ˜μ—­μ€ 사업 μ „λ°˜μ— 걸친 λ””μ§€ν„Έ 기술 개발 및 μ—­λŸ‰ κ°•ν™”, μ‹ κ·œ 고객 확보λ₯Ό μœ„ν•œ λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μƒˆλ‘­κ²Œ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ λ§Ίκ±°λ‚˜ μΈμˆ˜ν•œ μ§€μ—­μ—μ„œ λ””μ§€ν„Έ 고객 확보 μ „λž΅μ„ μ „κ°œν•  수 μžˆλŠ” ν›Œλ₯­ν•œ κΈ°νšŒκ°€ μžˆμ„ 것이며, κ·Έλ™μ•ˆ μ„±μž₯μ‹œμΌœμ˜¨ 사업을 ꡬ좕할 인λ ₯에도 μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ νˆ¬μžν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

But I wanted to just ask, if I look back at the October deck, when you talked about $2 of pro forma EPS in '27. I just want to make sure that there might be some timing differences in terms of how much you're reinvesting and how much things all come together.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Yes. It's a terrific question, Ken. I love that question because it kind of comes back to ultimately the value creation model that we're trying to drive here is where our focus is. And the answer is yes. We continue to be on track for the fundamental drivers of that earnings power. If you think about it, the way I think about it is, first of all, 3 major drivers of value creation from the partnership, seamless integration and retention of talent and kind of continuing the momentum of the underlying businesses. I will note that both Veritex in the period after close before conversion, was performing exceptionally well, driving above expectations, loan and deposit and revenue growth. And Cadence, likewise, we haven't even closed. We're expecting that just a week from now. They just reported their results this morning, and those likewise beat expectations continue to show very strong underlying growth. And so our partnership model would just enable that to continue. Secondly, it's the cost synergies, and we have full line of sight to achieve or beat them. And then lastly, it's these revenue synergies, which are not in this guidance yet, but really will be powerful as we add those on and we continue to finalize the plans to go and achieve them. And so those are kind of the fundamental building blocks. As I think about the EPS, look, we've generated 16% earnings per share growth in '25. The guidance I've given here on Page 20 applies somewhere in the kind of mid- to high teens for underlying organic EPS in '26. You should expect the same kind of growth in earnings power as we go into '27. And on top of that, you'll get the full run rate of the cost synergies, that's probably something on the order of a $0.10. And then revenue synergies. And of course, the PAA will be what it is ultimately, and we'll give guidance on that once it's finalized.**Zachary Wasserman:** λ„€, 정말 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€, Ken. μ €λŠ” 이 질문이 정말 λ§ˆμŒμ— λ“œλŠ”λ°μš”, μ™œλƒν•˜λ©΄ κ²°κ΅­ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μΆ”κ΅¬ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” κ°€μΉ˜ 창좜 λͺ¨λΈμ˜ ν•΅μ‹¬μœΌλ‘œ λŒμ•„κ°€λŠ” 질문이기 λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 닡변은 '예'μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 수읡 창좜λ ₯의 근본적인 동인듀에 λŒ€ν•΄ κ³„μ†ν•΄μ„œ κ³„νšλŒ€λ‘œ μ§„ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ œκ°€ μƒκ°ν•˜λŠ” λ°©μ‹μœΌλ‘œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬μžλ©΄, λ¨Όμ € νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ ν†΅ν•œ κ°€μΉ˜ 창좜의 μ„Έ κ°€μ§€ μ£Όμš” 동인이 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ°”λ‘œ μ›ν™œν•œ 톡합, 인재 μœ μ§€, 그리고 κΈ°μ‘΄ μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ λͺ¨λ©˜ν…€ μ§€μ†μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 특히 λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ³  싢은 것은, Veritex의 경우 거래 μ’…λ£Œ ν›„ μ‹œμŠ€ν…œ μ „ν™˜ μ „ κΈ°κ°„ λ™μ•ˆ μ˜ˆμƒμ„ λ›°μ–΄λ„˜λŠ” λŒ€μΆœ, 예금 및 수읡 μ„±μž₯을 μ΄λŒμ–΄λ‚΄λ©° 맀우 λ›°μ–΄λ‚œ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ³΄μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 Cadence의 경우, 아직 κ±°λž˜κ°€ μ’…λ£Œλ˜μ§€λ„ μ•Šμ•˜μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 일주일 ν›„λ©΄ μ’…λ£Œλ  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 였늘 아침에 싀적을 λ°œν‘œν–ˆλŠ”λ°, μ˜ˆμƒμΉ˜λ₯Ό μƒνšŒν–ˆκ³  맀우 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ κΈ°μ € μ„±μž₯μ„Έλ₯Ό 계속 보여주고 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 우리의 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ λͺ¨λΈμ€ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ„±μž₯이 지속될 수 μžˆλ„λ‘ ν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 두 λ²ˆμ§ΈλŠ” λΉ„μš© μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€μΈλ°, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 이λ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ±°λ‚˜ 초과 달성할 수 μžˆλ‹€λŠ” λͺ…ν™•ν•œ κ°€μ‹œμ„±μ„ ν™•λ³΄ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μœΌλ‘œ 맀좜 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€κ°€ μžˆλŠ”λ°, 아직 이번 κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ—λŠ” λ°˜μ˜λ˜μ§€ μ•Šμ•˜μ§€λ§Œ, 이λ₯Ό μΆ”κ°€ν•˜κ³  μ‹€ν–‰ κ³„νšμ„ 계속 κ΅¬μ²΄ν™”ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ 정말 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 효과λ₯Ό λ°œνœ˜ν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이것듀이 기본적인 ꡬ성 μš”μ†ŒλΌκ³  ν•  수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Absolutely. Fundamentally, if you think about fees this year -- last year, in 2025, we generated 7% growth in core fees, and it was 8% in those 3 major fee driving categories. We talk a lot about payments, cap markets and wealth management. As we go into 2026, our expectation was to see acceleration of all of that -- all those categories, something on the order of 1% to 2% acceleration, and we've got a strong line of sight to delivering that. As we've noted, it's been a locus of a lot of investment over time. So we're seeing that come through now in terms of acceleration of revenue growth. And then on top of that, you will add the $80 million to $90 million of revenues from the 2 new small capital markets divisions that are joining us plus Veritex. And so that's really the kind of the ingredients that get us to this guide and have strong line of sight and confidence to deliver.**Zachary Wasserman:** λ„€, λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 기본적으둜 μ˜¬ν•΄ 수수료λ₯Ό 보면 -- μž‘λ…„, 2025년에 핡심 μˆ˜μˆ˜λ£Œμ—μ„œ 7% μ„±μž₯을 λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆκ³ , 3λŒ€ μ£Όμš” 수수료 λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œλŠ” 8% μ„±μž₯을 κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 저희가 자주 μ–ΈκΈ‰ν•˜λŠ” 결제(payments), μžλ³Έμ‹œμž₯(capital markets), μžμ‚°κ΄€λ¦¬(wealth management) λΆ€λ¬Έ λ§μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2026λ…„μœΌλ‘œ κ°€λ©΄μ„œ μ €ν¬λŠ” 이 λͺ¨λ“  λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œ 가속화λ₯Ό μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λŒ€λž΅ 1~2% μ •λ„μ˜ μ„±μž₯ 가속화λ₯Ό 보일 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜λ©°, 이λ₯Ό 달성할 수 μžˆλ‹€λŠ” ν™•μ‹€ν•œ 전망을 κ°–κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦° κ²ƒμ²˜λŸΌ 이 뢀문듀은 였랜 κΈ°κ°„ λ§Žμ€ νˆ¬μžκ°€ μ§‘μ€‘λœ μ˜μ—­μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 이제 맀좜 μ„±μž₯ κ°€μ†ν™”λΌλŠ” ν˜•νƒœλ‘œ κ·Έ 결싀이 λ‚˜νƒ€λ‚˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 여기에 λ”ν•΄μ„œ μƒˆλ‘œ ν•©λ₯˜ν•˜λŠ” 2개의 μ†Œκ·œλͺ¨ μžλ³Έμ‹œμž₯ λΆ€μ„œμ™€ Veritexμ—μ„œ 8천만~9천만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ 맀좜이 좔가될 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μš”μ†Œλ“€μ΄ λ°”λ‘œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ 이번 κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λ₯Ό μ œμ‹œν•˜κ²Œ 된 근거이며, 이λ₯Ό 달성할 수 μžˆλ‹€λŠ” λͺ…ν™•ν•œ κ°€μ‹œμ„±κ³Ό 확신을 κ°€μ§€κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Yes. Good question, Eric. Thanks for the follow-up. I'll highlight that we expect to grow investments at around 20% back into the business as we go into this upcoming year. And again, as I noted before, kind of the focus of that is always threefold, digital and technology capabilities across the business; secondly, marketing and last, people to build out the business. So I think about the kind of the initiatives that, that will power, we're still early days in a lot of the major new growth initiatives we've been talking about for the last couple of years, new commercial specialty verticals, both lending and deposit-oriented, new geographies that we've been growing into organically, North and South Carolina, Texas, all of those will be focused for continued investment. We've talked about in the Carolinas, for example, the expectation in 2026 is to open a new branch there almost every 2 weeks. And so of course, that will be an area that we're investing in. And then I think Brant highlighted earlier, one of the biggest areas that we see opportunity to really capture revenue synergies from the combined franchise is in digital acquisition and customer acquisition across the footprint. And so there's funding in the investment plan to go after that.**Zachary Wasserman:** 쒋은 질문 κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€, 에릭. 후속 μ§ˆλ¬Έμ— λ‹΅λ³€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 내년에 사업에 μž¬νˆ¬μžν•˜λŠ” κΈˆμ•‘μ„ μ•½ 20% μ¦κ°€μ‹œν‚¬ κ³„νšμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ•žμ„œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦° κ²ƒμ²˜λŸΌ, 투자의 μ΄ˆμ μ€ 항상 μ„Έ κ°€μ§€μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ²«μ§ΈλŠ” 전사적인 λ””μ§€ν„Έ 및 기술 μ—­λŸ‰, λ‘˜μ§ΈλŠ” λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…, λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μœΌλ‘œ 사업 ν™•μž₯을 μœ„ν•œ 인λ ₯μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Manan Gosalia: Morgan Stanley, Research Division Zach, in your comments on the investment spend just now, you didn't mention AI. Is there any AI-related investment spend in there? And I guess the broader question there is, just given that there's a lot going on this year with the acquisitions, that's probably driving a lot of your investment spend. Would you say that 2026 is a high point for investment spend that you plan to make?**Manan Gosalia:**

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Thanks, Manan. Great questions, both. And to answer the second one first, the answer is no. The investments are not a high point here. In fact, investing into the business is the flywheel of value creation that we just talked about. We will always want to grow investments at a fast clip. And just think about the model, Manan, for a second, look back the last 6 years, revenue growth CAGR 10%, investment growth CAGR just about 20%, and earnings growth in the teens. And so that model is a sustainable long-term model, and we will keep driving it, and it's powered by not only earnings growth, but also disciplined reengineering of our cost base, something on the order of 1% per year. And so that's the model we expect to sustain in perpetuity, and that's what's driving our competitive success. If you just move to AI, absolutely, there's significant investment happening in AI. I wouldn't characterize the nature of the driver of our investment growth as because of AI, but certainly, AI is growing along with those other investments as well. And we're seeing use cases across the organization really exponentially increase at this point, driving cost savings, driving productivity, driving a better customer experience in a lot of different ways. And, of course, more efficient technology engineering.**Zachary Wasserman:** κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€, Manan. 두 κ°€μ§€ λͺ¨λ‘ 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 두 번째 μ§ˆλ¬ΈλΆ€ν„° λ¨Όμ € λ‹΅λ³€λ“œλ¦¬μžλ©΄, μ•„λ‹™λ‹ˆλ‹€. νˆ¬μžκ°€ 정점에 λ„λ‹¬ν•œ 것이 μ•„λ‹™λ‹ˆλ‹€. 사싀 사업에 λŒ€ν•œ νˆ¬μžλŠ” 방금 λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦° κ°€μΉ˜ 창좜의 μ„ μˆœν™˜ κ΅¬μ‘°μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 항상 λΉ λ₯Έ μ†λ„λ‘œ 투자λ₯Ό λŠ˜λ €κ°€κ³ μž ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Brantley Standridge: Senior EVP and President of Consumer & Regional Banking If that was the case, let me just say that, yes, there's a little bit of that in there. But I mean, the reality is the performance this year was just exceptional. And as you look back over the history, we've been trending between that 25 to 35 basis points range for some time, and that's really the basis of our guide. And as Zach said in his implied remarks that we would be really in the lower end of that range.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Yes, yes. That's also a terrific question. It's an area of a lot of focus, as you know. And our expectation is to continue to get a solid down beta, something in the high 30s to 40% aligned with the guidance we've given. I'll tell you that beta in and of itself, it's not our objective function. Our objective function is core funding loan growth, really powering the ability to continue to drive peer-leading both loan growth and revenue growth with a great marginal return on capital, and that model is working exceptionally well. And we see -- it's, of course, a competitive environment, but the ability of the teams to execute on both volume growth and disciplined pricing continues to be very strong.**Zachary Wasserman:** λ„€, λ§žμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 정말 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ•„μ‹œλ‹€μ‹œν”Ό 이 뢀뢄은 저희가 λ§Žμ€ 관심을 기울이고 μžˆλŠ” μ˜μ—­μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” μ•žμœΌλ‘œλ„ κ²¬κ³ ν•œ ν•˜λ°© 베타(down beta)λ₯Ό μœ μ§€ν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  있으며, μ œμ‹œν•œ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ— λΆ€ν•©ν•˜λŠ” 30% ν›„λ°˜μ—μ„œ 40% μˆ˜μ€€μ„ λͺ©ν‘œλ‘œ ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Yes. Great question, Ken. We're smiling here because -- Chris, I'm sorry, because we're -- our expectation is in some of the conferences later this year -- later this quarter to really double-click into the investments to share with you more guidance on it. So I won't steal that thunder and give you a number today. But certainly, it's a powerful growth. And we've seen -- in our view, we're investing in technology in exactly the right places. It's all about customer-facing capabilities, driving both our value-added services, but also customer acquisition, digital marketing. The question that we just got a second ago in terms of beta, the amount of MarTech capabilities that we've built over the last several years, is really what's enabling us to achieve these dual results of great deposit volume and pricing.

Brian Foran: Truist Securities, Inc., Research Division I'm going to apologize in advance. I'm still on the struggle bus with the guidance. So on expenses, I guess the way I'm trying to think about it is, if I understand the math right, you plan on reporting something like $6.5 billion of expenses this year, maybe $6.46 billion to $6.5 billion, if I take the guide literally. And then as I think about the exit from the year, pushing that up would be the 12th month of Cadence, pushing that down would be the cost saves, but then maybe pushing that back up is how much of the cost saves are reinvested over the course of the year? So is there any way to relate -- because people have really different takeaways. Some people are like, we're going to exit the year with $6.6 billion, and some people are like, we're going to exit the year at $6.2 billion. Is there any way to talk to an exit run rate of dollars of annualized expenses for the whole thing pro forma?**Brian Foran:** μ£„μ†‘ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€ κ΄€λ ¨ν•΄μ„œ 아직도 μ΄ν•΄ν•˜λŠ” 데 어렀움을 κ²ͺκ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λΉ„μš© μΈ‘λ©΄μ—μ„œ μ œκ°€ μƒκ°ν•˜λŠ” 방식은, μ œκ°€ 계산을 μ œλŒ€λ‘œ ν–ˆλ‹€λ©΄, μ˜¬ν•΄ μ•½ 65μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ λΉ„μš©μ„ 보고할 κ³„νšμ΄μ‹  것 κ°™μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λ₯Ό 문자 κ·ΈλŒ€λ‘œ 받아듀이면 64μ–΅ 6천만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 65μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ 정도일 것 κ°™μ€λ°μš”. 그리고 연말 μ‹œμ μ„ 생각해보면, Cadence의 12κ°œμ›”λΆ„μ΄ 이λ₯Ό 상ν–₯μ‹œν‚¬ 것이고, λΉ„μš© 절감이 ν•˜ν–₯μ‹œν‚¬ 것이며, 그런데 λ‹€μ‹œ 상ν–₯μ‹œν‚€λŠ” μš”μΈμ€ 연쀑 λΉ„μš© μ ˆκ°λΆ„ 쀑 μ–Όλ§ˆλ‚˜ μž¬νˆ¬μžλ˜λŠ”μ§€κ°€ 될 것 κ°™μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 이 뢀뢄듀을 μ—°κ²°ν•΄μ„œ μ„€λͺ…ν•΄μ£Όμ‹€ 방법이 μžˆμ„κΉŒμš”? μ‚¬λžŒλ“€λ§ˆλ‹€ 정말 λ‹€λ₯΄κ²Œ 받아듀이고 μžˆκ±°λ“ μš”.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP I don't have that right in front of me, to be honest with you, Brian. My guidance to you would be to see -- look, I think we're going to, on a full year, see an efficiency ratio of around 55%, and we'll continue to see that improve as we go into '27. The growth rate of expenses relative to revenue should be very attractive as we get through Q4. And it all kind of goes back to that question we were talking before, are we on track for the earnings power in '27? And the answer is yes.**Zachary Wasserman:** μ†”μ§νžˆ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬λ©΄ μ§€κΈˆ λ‹Ήμž₯ κ·Έ 수치λ₯Ό κ°–κ³  μžˆμ§€λŠ” μ•ŠμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€, Brian. μ œκ°€ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦΄ 수 μžˆλŠ” 것은, μ—°κ°„ κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ νš¨μœ¨μ„± λΉ„μœ¨(efficiency ratio)이 μ•½ 55% μˆ˜μ€€μ΄ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ 보고 있고, 27λ…„μœΌλ‘œ κ°€λ©΄μ„œ 이 λΉ„μœ¨μ΄ 계속 κ°œμ„ λ  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 4λΆ„κΈ°λ₯Ό μ§€λ‚˜λ©΄μ„œ 맀좜 λŒ€λΉ„ λΉ„μš© μ¦κ°€μœ¨μ€ 맀우 λ§€λ ₯적인 μˆ˜μ€€μ΄ 될 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ²°κ΅­ μ•žμ„œ λ…Όμ˜ν–ˆλ˜ 질문으둜 λŒμ•„κ°€λŠ”λ°, 27λ…„ 수읡λ ₯ λͺ©ν‘œλ₯Ό 달성할 수 μžˆλŠλƒλŠ” 것이죠. 닡은 'κ·Έλ ‡λ‹€'μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Brian Foran: Truist Securities, Inc., Research Division Okay. Maybe if I can try the same question on loan growth, tying myself in the same set of knots, we get to the back half of the year, everything is integrated. We're not talking about the year-over-year, we're talking about quarter-over-quarter annualized. So Veritex and Cadence running in there. I don't know if the Cadence number for loans is just where they are today or has some assumption in it. But you kind of put this all together, would you expect to be still at 9% annualized loan growth exiting the year, where you are today before the acquisitions? Would you expect it to be slower as you do the integrations, faster as you recognize revenue synergies? Any kind of -- again, I understand the difficulty of doing a guide on what you're going to report when things are partial year impacts. But once we get through that, any way to talk to what you expect the core loan growth rate to look like in the back half of '26, again, linked quarter annualized, not year-over-year?**Brian Foran:** λ„€, 연말에 λͺ¨λ“  톡합이 μ™„λ£Œλ˜λ©΄ μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„κ°€ μ•„λ‹Œ λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ μ—°μœ¨ν™” κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Zachary Wasserman: CFO & Senior EVP Yes, yes. Good question, for sure. Look, the way I think about it is our underlying loan momentum has been in the 8% to 9% range in 2025. As we thought about Huntington's stand-alone in 2026, our expectation was around the same amount. And in our long-range plan, when I say long-range plan, it typically means the next few years after that, 3 years, was of a similar growth rate. One of the strategic themes and rationales for us entering the partnership with Cadence and then also with Veritex was that they would expose Huntington to even faster organic growth opportunities over the course of time and great new opportunities to invest and build the business from there as well. And so that 8% to 9% to me is a minimum. We would expect to see revenue synergies, growth synergies lift that, particularly in the near term. And of course, not giving '27 guidance this morning. But I think that kind of fundamental growth power is at or better as we get into the latter part of '26 and beyond.**Zachary Wasserman:** λ„€, 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 제 생각은 μ΄λ ‡μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2025λ…„ 우리의 기본적인 λŒ€μΆœ μ„±μž₯ λͺ¨λ©˜ν…€μ€ 8~9% λ²”μœ„μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2026λ…„ ν—ŒνŒ…ν„΄ λ‹¨λ…μœΌλ‘œ 봀을 λ•Œλ„ λΉ„μŠ·ν•œ μˆ˜μ€€μ„ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμ—ˆκ³ μš”. μž₯κΈ° κ³„νš, κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆκΉŒ ν†΅μƒμ μœΌλ‘œ κ·Έ 이후 3λ…„ 정도λ₯Ό μ˜λ―Έν•˜λŠ”λ°, κ±°κΈ°μ„œλ„ μœ μ‚¬ν•œ μ„±μž₯λ₯ μ„ μ „λ§ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Stephen Steinour: Chairman, President & CEO Ebrahim, thank you for the question. We sort of thought that one would come even a little earlier initially. But the -- let's start with -- we've got 2 partners, and they are performing exceptionally well with us. The teams are doing great work together. Brant, Dan Rollins, Malcolm Holland and their teams and our teams have come together in a very fundamentally sound and strong fashion, and we're off to a great start. We've just completed -- we are completing the Veritex conversion as we speak, started over the weekend. We will close with Cadence in 2 weeks. As you heard from Brant, the org management and personnel decisions are made and communicated. We're moving very quickly with that. At the same time, the core of the company is performing well, and that's our primary focus, drive the core results. So we're completing these integrations. They don't end at a conversion, but we're completing these conversions over the course of this year, maybe this year, a little bit more in terms of culture. But rapidly, so we can get at the revenue opportunities that we've talked about. Now we've used this term springboard on purpose. We think we have great growth potential in these markets. They're much better on average than the markets we've been operating it. And Texas is very unique, and we come together with a #5 share. So we've never been in these markets or markets like these before. So very optimistic. We're very focused on driving organic growth and executing these integrations extraordinarily well. And the partnerships are facilitating that, and we're aligned at creating shareholder value. As to other M&A, maybe someday, we've been clear, I think it was the Goldman conference. We're not going to do an MOE. We're not going to go to auctions. They have to be strategic in nature where they're adding value and revenue growth for us, and they have to meet financial and risk metrics. And if someone approaches us with something of that nature, then we would take a look at it. But we're very focused on driving the organic growth of the business, and that's priority 1, 2 and 3 for us. We like the position we're coming into '26 with and the momentum we have, and we're ecstatic about the quality of the partners. These are 2 really good banks, great people coming into Huntington. I think we've got a terrific back half of the decade just with these combinations.**Stephen Steinour:** 질문 κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 사싀 이 질문이 쑰금 더 일찍 λ‚˜μ˜¬ 쀄 μ•Œμ•˜μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ¨Όμ € λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬μžλ©΄, μ €ν¬μ—κ²ŒλŠ” 두 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‚¬κ°€ 있고, 이듀은 저희와 ν•¨κ»˜ 맀우 ν›Œλ₯­ν•œ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‚΄κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. νŒ€λ“€μ΄ 정말 잘 ν˜‘λ ₯ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Stephen Steinour: Chairman, President & CEO Well, thank you all for joining us today. We didn't mean to confuse you. And I hope we've sorted some of that out in the discussion. We're performing very well. We're coming off an extraordinary year. We've got a lot of momentum and very clear objectives as we move into '26. We've never been better positioned for the future, and we're excited about that. And our 20,000 colleagues and soon to be 25,000 are going to do everything we can to create shareholder value and build the franchise for years and years to come. We look forward to welcoming these 5,000 new colleagues coming to us from Cadence in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your interest. We'll be back to you mid-quarter for more details on the models and appreciate, again, your support.
