"We carry great momentum with us as we enter 2026 and continue executing on a number of strategic growth initiatives," said Cullen/Frost Chairman and CEO, Phil Green. "Frost bankers throughout the state remain squarely focused on making our customers' lives better and supporting their growth in an increasing range of ways over time.

"We continue to execute on our organic growth strategy, and continue to believe that it is a durable and scalable strategy that will fuel Frost's growth for years to come. During the fourth quarter, we opened new financial centers in the Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio markets, bringing us to a total of 10 new locations opened during 2025."

For the fourth quarter of 2025, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $471.2 million, up $37.5 million, or 8.6 percent compared to $433.7 million for fourth quarter of 2024. Average loans for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $1.3 billion, or 6.5 percent, to $21.7 billion, from the $20.3 billion reported for the fourth quarter a year earlier, and increased 1.0 percent compared to $21.5 billion for the third quarter of 2025. Average deposits for the quarter increased $1.5 billion, or 3.5 percent, to $43.3 billion compared to $41.9 billion in last year's fourth quarter, and increased $1.3 billion, or 3.0 percent, compared to $42.1 billion for the third quarter of 2025. Compared to the third quarter of 2025, fourth quarter average non-interest-bearing deposits increased by 3.1 percent and average interest-bearing deposits increased by 3.0 percent.

For full year 2025, average total loans were $21.2 billion, an increase of approximately $1.4 billion, or 7.3 percent, from the $19.8 billion reported in 2024. Average total deposits for 2025 were $42.2 billion, up $1.2 billion, or 3.0 percent, compared to the $41.0 billion reported for full year 2024.

Noted financial data for the fourth quarter:

  • The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios for Cullen/Frost at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 were 14.06 percent, 14.50 percent, and 15.95 percent, respectively. Current capital ratios continue to be in excess of well-capitalized levels and exceed Basel III requirements.
  • Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $471.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 8.6 percent compared to the $433.7 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2024. The net interest margin was 3.66 percent for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 3.53 percent for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 3.69 percent for the third quarter of 2025.
  • Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $132.2 million, up $9.3 million, or 7.6 percent, from the $122.8 million reported a year earlier. Other non-interest income increased by $2.2 million, or 13.8% percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily related to an increase in income from customers' derivatives trading activity (up $1.4 million). Trust and investment management fees increased by $1.9 million, or 4.3 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly related to an increase in investment management fees, up $2.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Investment management fees are generally based on the market value of assets within customer accounts and are thus impacted by price movements in the equity and bond markets. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $4.5 million, or 15.9 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • During the fourth quarter, we recognized several one-time expense items which in aggregate totaled $16.2 million. These one-time expense items included a payroll transition bonus associated with our change to a bi-weekly payroll cycle, a donation to the Frost Charitable Foundation, an additional accrual to increase our medical insurance reserve, and various sundry losses. These items were partly offset by an $8.5 million reversal of our accrual related to a special FDIC insurance assessment.
  • Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $371.7 million, up $35.5 million, or 10.6 percent, compared to the $336.2 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2024. Salaries and wages expense increased by $17.0 million, or 10.3 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily related to an increase in salaries due to annual merit and market increases and an increase in the number of employees. The increase in the number of employees was partly related to our investment in organic expansion in various markets. Salary and wage expense for the fourth quarter was also impacted by $4.2 million related to the aforementioned payroll transition bonus. Employee benefits expense increased by $8.0 million, or 28.1 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in employee benefits expense was primarily related to the aforementioned increase in medical/dental expense (up $5.3 million), 401(k) plan expense (up $1.7 million), and payroll taxes (up $682,000). Other non-interest expense increased $14.7 million, or 23.3%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily related to the aforementioned increases in sundry and other miscellaneous expense (up $3.7 million) and donations expense (up $3.3 million); as well as professional services expense (up $2.6 million), among other things. The increase in sundry expenses was driven by a $4.0 million accrual related to a software platform that is no longer aligned with our long-term technology strategy. Net occupancy expense increased by $2.2 million, or 7.0 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in net occupancy expense for the quarter was mainly driven by increases in depreciation on buildings and leasehold improvements (up $732,000) and increases in property taxes (up $654,000). These increases were mainly driven by expenses associated with expansion branch locations.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2025, the company reported a credit loss expense of $11.2 million and reported net charge-offs of $5.8 million, compared to a credit loss expense of $6.8 million and net charge-offs of $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. For the fourth quarter of 2024, the company reported a credit loss expense of $16.2 million and net charge-offs of $14.0 million. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.29 percent at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.31 percent at September 30, 2025, and 1.30 percent at December 31, 2024. Non-accrual loans were $70.5 million at the end of 2025, compared to $44.8 million the previous quarter and $78.9 million at year-end 2024.
  • During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased 653,913 shares at a total cost of $80.7 million, bringing us to a total of 1.20 million shares repurchased under the 2025 Repurchase Plan for the full year at an average price of $124.67, completing our $150 million authorization.

The Cullen/Frost board declared a first-quarter cash dividend of $1.00 per common share, payable March 13, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 27 of this year. The board of directors also declared a cash dividend of $11.125 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (or $0.278125 per depositary share). The depositary shares representing the Series B Preferred Stock are traded on the NYSE under the symbol "CFR PrB." The Series B Preferred Stock dividend is payable on March 16, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 27 of this year.

In addition, the company's board of directors approved a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $300 million of Cullen/Frost common stock over a one-year period expiring on January 27, 2027. Share repurchases under the authorization may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, and/or through other legally permissible means. The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the authorization will be determined by management at its discretion and based on market conditions and other considerations. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the company's discretion and does not obligate Cullen/Frost to purchase any amount of common stock.

Due to the rapidly evolving and changing state of U.S. trade policies, the amount and duration of any tariffs and their ultimate impact on us, our customers, financial markets, and the overall U.S. and global economies is currently uncertain.

To the extent that these risks may have a negative impact on the financial condition of borrowers or financial markets, it could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
