CULLEN/FROST REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND 2024 ANNUAL RESULTS

Board declares first quarter dividend on common and preferred stock, and authorizes $150 million stock repurchase program

Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (NYSE:CFR) today reported fourth quarter and full-year results for 2024. Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $153.2 million, representing a $52.3 million increase compared to $100.9 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2023. Results for the fourth quarter of 2023 were impacted by a $51.5 million ($40.7 million net of tax) special surcharge associated with FDIC insurance. Excluding the FDIC surcharge in the year-ago period, fourth quarter 2024 net income available to common shareholders increased by $11.6 million, or 8.2 percent, compared to $141.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. On a per-share basis, the company reported net income available to common shareholders of $2.36 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $1.55 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the after-tax impact of the FDIC surcharge in the fourth quarter of 2023, fourth quarter 2024 diluted earnings per common share increased 8.3 percent compared to $2.18 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2023. The FDIC special surcharge did not affect the fourth quarter of 2024, however, we recognized a total of $9.0 million in such surcharges in the first and second quarters of 2024. For the fourth quarter of 2024, returns on average assets and average common equity were 1.19 percent and 15.58 percent, respectively, compared to 0.82 percent and 13.51 percent for the same period in 2023. Excluding the special FDIC insurance surcharge, returns on average assets and average common equity for the fourth quarter of 2023 would have been approximately 1.14 percent and 18.96 percent.

The company also reported 2024 annual net income available to common shareholders of $575.9 million, a decrease of 2.6 percent compared to 2023 earnings available to common shareholders of $591.3 million. Excluding the aforementioned special FDIC surcharge amounts, annual net income available to common shareholders for 2024 would have been $583.0 million, representing a decrease of $49.0 million, or 7.8 percent, compared to $632.0 million for 2023. On a per-share basis, 2024 earnings were $8.87 per diluted common share compared to $9.10 per diluted common share reported in 2023. Excluding the after-tax impact of the FDIC surcharge in both periods, 2024 diluted earnings per common share were $8.98 compared to $9.72 per diluted common share reported in 2023. For the year 2024, returns on average assets and average common equity were 1.16 percent and 15.81 percent respectively, compared to 1.19 percent and 18.66 percent reported in 2023.

“Our solid financial results for the fourth quarter were the result of continued focus and execution on the part of Frost bankers throughout the company,” said Cullen/Frost Chairman and CEO Phil Green. “Our people show their commitment to excellence in the way that they carry out our mission each day. That results in an unparalleled customer experience, and ultimately in our consistent growth in new customer relationships. In the fourth quarter, we saw average deposits return to growth on both a linked-quarter and a year-over-year basis.”

For the fourth quarter of 2024, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $433.7 million, up $23.8 million or 5.8 percent compared to $409.9 million for fourth quarter of 2023. Average loans for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $1.7 billion, or 9.3 percent, to $20.3 billion, from the $18.6 billion reported for the fourth quarter a year earlier, and increased 1.3 percent compared to $20.1 billion for the third quarter of 2024. Average deposits for the quarter increased $701.7 million, or 1.7 percent to $41.9 billion compared to $41.2 billion in last year's fourth quarter, and increased 2.8 percent compared to $40.7 billionfor the third quarter of 2024. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, fourth quarter average non-interest-bearing deposits increased by 2.9 percent and average interest-bearing deposits increased by 2.8 percent.

For full year 2024, average total loans were $19.8 billion, an increase of approximately $1.9 billion, or 10.7 percent, from the $17.9 billion reported in 2023. Average total deposits for 2024 were $41.0 billion, down $472.8 million, or 1.1 percent, compared to the $41.4 billion reported for full year 2023.

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 2024 were 13.62 percent, 14.07 percent, and 15.53 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 $433.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 5.8 percent compared to the $409.9 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2023. The net interest margin was 3.53 percent for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 3.41 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 3.56 percent for the third quarter of 2024.

— Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $122.8 million, up $9.1 million, or 8.0 percent, from the $113.8 million reported a year earlier. Trust and investment management fees increased by $3.6 million, or 9.0 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly related to an increase in investment management fees, up $4.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. 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 $3.4 million, or 13.8 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by increases in overdraft fees and commercial service charges. Other charges, commissions and fees increased $3.1 million, or 25.6 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily related to increases in income from the placement of annuities (up $1.1 million) and mutual fund fees (up $308,000), among other things. Insurance commissions and fees increased by $1.5 million, or 11.6 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by increases in commission revenues. These increases were partly offset by a decrease of $3.5 million, or 18.0 percent, in other non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was mainly driven by a $3.6 million benefit from a wire fraud recovery during the fourth quarter of 2023.

— Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $336.2 million, down $29.1 million, or 8.0 percent, compared to the $365.2 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the special surcharge expense associated with FDIC insurance during the fourth quarter of 2023, non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by $22.5 million, or 7.2 percent, from $313.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $336.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Salaries and wages expense increased by $18.9 million, or 12.9 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. 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. Technology, furniture and equipment expense was up $5.3 million, or 15.3 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily related to increases in cloud services expense (up $2.8 million), service contracts expense (up $1.1 million), software maintenance (up $498,000), and software amortization (up $483,000), among other things. Net occupancy expense increased by $1.4 million, or 4.4 percent, compared to the fourth quarter or 2023. The increase in net occupancy expense for the quarter was mainly driven by increases in depreciation on buildings and leasehold improvements (up $741,000) and increases in property taxes (up $559,000), among other things.

Non-accrual loans were $78.9 million at the end of 2024, compared to $104.9 million the previous quarter and $60.9 million at year-end 2023.
