Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, and in many cases, are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
▪our ability to successfully execute our business plan and strategic initiatives, and manage any risks or uncertainties;

▪the impact of unrealized losses in our financial instruments, particularly in our available-for-sale securities portfolio;

▪possible changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies, or any leadership changes of those determining such policies, including, but not limited to, Federal Reserve policies in connection with continued inflationary pressures;

▪the impact of any new regulatory, policy, or enforcement developments resulting from the policies or actions of the current U.S. presidential administration, including the announcement and/or implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies, and any reciprocal and/or retaliatory tariffs by foreign countries, including the effect on our customers;
▪the timely development and acceptance of any new products and services, and the perceived value of those products and services by customers;
▪changes in deposit flows, consumer spending, borrowings, and savings habits;
▪our ability to implement new technologies and maintain secure and reliable information and technology systems;
▪the effects of any cybersecurity threats, attacks or disruptions, fraudulent activity, or other data breaches or security events, including those involving our third-party vendors and service providers;
▪performance by our counterparties and third-party vendors;

▪our ability to assess and monitor the effect of evolving uses of artificial intelligence on our business and operations; and
▪the occurrence of natural disasters, severe weather events, and public health crises, and any governmental or societal responses thereto.
Any forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Webster Financial Corporation is a bank holding company and financial holding company under the BHC Act, incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 1986, and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. As of March 31, 2025, Webster Financial Corporation had more than $80 billion in total consolidated assets. Webster Bank is a commercial bank with a national bank charter focused on providing financial products and services to businesses, individuals, and families. While its core footprint spans the Northeast from the New York metropolitan area to Rhode Island and Massachusetts, certain businesses operate in extended geographies. Webster Bank offers three differentiated lines of business: Commercial Banking, Healthcare Financial Services, and Consumer Banking.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is necessary to understand the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 2024. This information should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying Notes thereto, contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this report, and the Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying Notes thereto, contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, are not necessarily indicative of future results that may be attained for the entire year or other interim periods.
Economic Outlook
Recent announcements from the current U.S. administration regarding changes in trade policies and other economic policies and practices, including tariffs, have created significant economic uncertainty in the U.S., which could contribute to higher inflation and increase the risk of a recession. Events such as these are outside of our control, but nonetheless may alter customer behavior, including borrowing, repayment, investment, and deposit practices, which could, in turn, adversely impact our business and financial results in future periods. While we cannot predict the potential impact that these changes and economic developments may have on us or our customers, we believe that our diverse businesses, strong capital position, unique deposit profile, and solid risk management framework allow us to operate in a range of economic environments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures identified in the preceding table provide both management and investors with information useful in understanding the Company’s financial position, results of operations, the strength of its capital position, and overall business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for performance measurement purposes, as well as for internal planning and forecasting, and by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to assess peer company operating performance. Management believes that this presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides investors with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business and allows investors to view its performance in a similar manner.
Tangible book value per common share represents stockholders’ equity less preferred stock and goodwill and other intangible assets (tangible common equity) divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. The tangible common equity ratio represents tangible common equity divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets (tangible assets). Both of these measures are used by management to evaluate the Company’s capital position. The annualized return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated using net income less preferred stock dividends, adjusted for the annualized tax-effected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average tangible common equity. This measure is used by management to assess the Company’s performance against its peer financial institutions. The efficiency ratio, which represents the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding certain non-operational items in order to measure how well the Company is managing its recurring operating expenses.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures. Because
non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these with other companies that present financial measures having the same or similar names.
The following tables reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures defined by GAAP: | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)Non-accrual loans have been included in the computation of average balances.
(2)In order to provide the users of the Company’s financial statements with a more transparent view of the actual consolidated average balances that are used in the calculation of net interest margin, the Company has recast, in the above table, certain consolidated
average balances for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to reflect a change in presentation being applied retrospectively. Specifically, adjustments were made to exclude average unsettled trades of $108.8 million and average available-for-sale unrealized losses of $737.7 million, from investment securities, and to exclude an average basis adjustment of $27.4 million from long-term debt related to a de-designated fair value hedge. Rather, effective as of December 31, 2024, these amounts are being presented in average non-interest-earning assets and average non-interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. There was no change to the related yields/rates or net interest income that had been previously disclosed.
(3)Interest-bearing deposits are a component of Cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements.
(4)FTE adjustments on loans and leases and investment securities are determined assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%. Items computed on an FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures, and are used by management to evaluate the comparability of the Company’s revenue arising from both taxable and non-taxable sources.
(5)Effective as of the first quarter of 2025, the Company changed its methodology used to annualize net interest income in its quarterly net interest margin calculation. Net interest margin for the prior period has been recast. There were no changes to the related yields/rates or net interest income that had been previously disclosed.

(1)The change attributable to mix, a combined impact of rate and volume, is included with the change due to rate.
Net interest income increased $44.5 million, or 7.8%, from $567.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $612.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest margin increased 7 basis points from 3.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to 3.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting increases of $4.1 billion, or 6.0%, in average total interest-earning assets and $3.7 billion, or 5.8%, in average interest-bearing liabilities. The lower interest rate environment during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily resulted in the average yield on average interest-earning assets to decrease by 17 basis points and the average rate on average interest-bearing liabilities to decrease by 24 basis points.
The change in average interest-earnings assets was primarily attributed to the following items:
•Average loans and leases increased $1.6 billion, or 3.2%, primarily due to increases in average commercial and institutional loans and average residential mortgages.
•Average total investment securities increased $1.2 billion, or 7.4%, reflecting increases of $1.0 billion in held-to-maturity and $0.2 billion in available-for-sale, primarily due the timing and volume of purchase and sales activities.
•Average interest-bearing deposits held at the FRB increased $1.2 billion, or 217.9%, primarily due to management’s strategic decision to hold higher levels of on-balance sheet liquidity.
The change in average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily attributed to the following items:
•Average total deposits increased $4.4 billion, or 7.3%, primarily due to increases in average money markets, which contributed to $3.0 billion of the change. The Company also experienced increases across all other deposit products except for average demand and average brokered certificates of deposits.
•Average FHLB advances decreased $0.6 billion, or 21.5%, primarily due to the paydown of short-term advances and a change in short-term borrowings mix.
Provision for Credit Losses
The total provision for credit losses increased $32.0 million, or 70.3%, from $45.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $77.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to additional loan and lease reserves resulting from uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment and risk rating migration.
Additional information regarding the Company’s provision for credit losses on loans and leases and the related ACL can be found under the sections captioned “Loans and Leases” through “Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases” contained elsewhere in this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Total non-interest income decreased $6.8 million, or 6.8%, from $99.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $92.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in Other income and Deposit services fees, partially offset by the change in Net gains (losses) on sale of investment securities.
Deposit service fees decreased $3.7 million, or 8.7%, from $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher revenue share costs and lower customer account service fees, partially offset by higher ATM surcharges.
Net gains (losses) on sale of investment securities changed $10.0 million, or 102.2%, from net (losses) of $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to net gains of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold $14.7 million of Corporate debt securities classified as available-for-sale for proceeds of $14.9 million.

Other income decreased $12.9 million, or 39.0%, from $33.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the $11.7 million net gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024, the credit valuation adjustment, and bank-owned life insurance events in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by higher direct investment income.

Compensation and benefits increased $10.1 million, or 5.4%, from $188.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $198.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher compensation, performance-based incentives, and employee benefits.
Professional and outside services increased $4.2 million, or 32.7%, from $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in technology consulting fees.
Deposit insurance decreased $7.9 million, or 32.5%, from $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the FDIC special assessment estimate in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by the impact from the increase in the Company’s deposit insurance assessment base.
Income Taxes
The Company recognized income tax expense of $56.7 million and $69.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, reflecting effective tax rates of 20.0% and 24.3%, respectively. The higher income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily reflects the recognition of a $10.9 million discrete expense in that period, which impacted the effective rate by 3.8 percentage points.

Commercial Banking’s PPNR decreased $28.5 million, or 10.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. The $22.8 million decrease in net interest income is primarily due to lower loan yields, partially offset by loan growth and lower deposit costs. The $5.3 million decrease in non-interest income is primarily due to lower direct investment gains, interest rate hedging activities, cash management fees, and factoring income. The $0.4 million increase in non-interest expense is primarily due to increased investments in human capital, operational process improvements, and technology to support growth of the Commercial Banking segment.

Loans and leases increased $0.2 billion, or 0.4%, at March 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to growth in commercial non-mortgage loans, partially offset by net principal paydowns in commercial real estate and equipment financing loans. Total portfolio originations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. The $0.1 billion decrease was primarily due to decreased commercial real estate originations, partially offset by increased commercial non-mortgage and equipment financing originations.
Deposits increased $0.3 billion, or 2.0%, at March 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher savings and money market accounts balances resulting from seasonal net inflows, partially offset by decreases in checking and non-interest bearing demand deposits.
Assets under administration and assets under management, in aggregate, remained relatively flat at approximately $3.0 billion at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as the impact due to lower valuations in the equity markets was offset by net investment fund inflows.

Consumer Banking’s PPNR decreased $14.0 million, or 11.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. The $3.7 million decrease in net interest income is primarily due to growth in higher cost deposit products, partially offset by loan growth.

Loans increased $0.4 billion, or 3.2%, at March 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to growth in residential mortgages and an increase in other consumer loans, partially offset by net principal paydowns in home equity loans/lines of credit and small business commercial loans. Total portfolio originations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were $0.6 billion and $0.3 billion. The $0.3 billion increase was primarily due to increased residential mortgage originations, partially offset by decreased small business commercial loan originations.
Deposits increased $0.5 billion, or 1.7%, at March 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher savings, money market, checking, and non-interest-bearing demand deposits balances resulting from seasonal net inflows.
Assets under administration decreased $0.6 billion, or 7.0% at March 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to the sale of two investment portfolios and lower valuations in the equity markets.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased $1.3 billion, or 1.6%, from $79.0 billion at December 31, 2024, to $80.3 billion at March 31, 2025. The change in total assets was primarily attributed to the following items, which experienced changes greater than $100 million:
•Cash and cash equivalents increased $0.4 billion, primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits held at the FRB as a result of management’s strategic decision to hold higher levels of on-balance sheet liquidity;
•Total investment securities, net increased $0.2 billion, reflecting a $0.3 billion increase in the available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by a $0.1 billion decrease in the held-to-maturity portfolio. The net increase in total investment securities was primarily due to purchases exceeding paydown activities, particularly across the Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, and CMBS categories;
•Loans and leases increased $0.6 billion, primarily due to $2.7 billion of originations during the three months ended March 31, 2025, particularly across the commercial non-mortgage, commercial real estate, and residential mortgages, partially offset by net principal paydowns;
Total liabilities increased $1.2 billion, or 1.7%, from $69.9 billion at December 31, 2024, to $71.1 billion at March 31, 2025. The change in total liabilities was primarily attributed to the following items:
•Total deposits increased $0.8 billion, primarily reflecting a $1.0 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $0.2 billion decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits. The net increase in total deposits was primarily due to an increase in money market deposits, particularly from interLINK, and growth in savings and health savings accounts, partially offset by decreases in brokered certificates of deposit and non-interest-bearing demand.
•Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $0.3 billion, primarily due to a change in short-term funding mix;
•FHLB advances increased $0.8 billion, also primarily due to a change in short-term funding mix;
•Accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $0.2 billion. Notable drivers of the change included decreases in accrued compensation due to bonus payouts in March 2025, treasury derivative liabilities, and accrued interest payable, partially offset by an increase in unfunded commitments for LIHTC investments.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $0.1 billion, or 0.8%, from $9.1 billion at December 31, 2024, to $9.2 billion at March 31, 2025. The change in total stockholders’ equity was attributed to the following items:
•Net income of $226.9 million;
•Other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $107.0 million;
•Dividends paid to common and preferred stockholders of $68.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively;
•Stock-based compensation expense of $14.0 million;
•Repurchases of common stock of $182.3 million under the Company’s common stock repurchase program and $21.8 million related to employee stock-based compensation plan activity.
Investment Securities
Through its Corporate Treasury function, the Company maintains and invests in debt securities that are primarily used to provide a source of liquidity for operating needs, as a means to manage the Company’s interest-rate risk, and to generate interest income. The Company’s investment securities are classified into two major categories: available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity.
The ALCO manages the Company’s investment securities in accordance with regulatory guidelines and corporate policies, which include limitations on aspects such as concentrations in and types of investments, as well as minimum risk ratings per type of security. In addition, the OCC may further establish individual limits on certain types of investments if the concentration in such security presents a safety and soundness concern. Although the Bank held the entirety of the Company’s investment securities portfolio at both March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Holding Company may also directly hold investments.

(1)The balances at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, exclude the ACL recorded on held-to-maturity securities of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Available-for-sale securities increased $0.3 billion, or 3.9%, from $9.0 billion at December 31, 2024, to $9.3 billion at
March 31, 2025, primarily due to purchases exceeding paydown activities, particularly across the Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, and CMBS categories. The average FTE yield on the available-for-sale portfolio was 4.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 3.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The 82 basis point increase is primarily due to higher yields on securities that were purchased over the past year, as compared to the yields on securities with paydown activities or that were sold.
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities were $0.6 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively. The $0.1 billion decrease is primarily due to lower market interest rates. On a quarterly basis, each available-for-sale security that is in an unrealized loss position is evaluated to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is a result of any credit related factors. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the ACL on available-for-sale securities was $0.9 million, which related to a single Corporate debt security. Each of the Company’s other available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025, are investment grade, current as to principal and interest, and their price changes are consistent with interest and credit spreads when adjusting for duration, convexity, rating, and industry differences. Based on current market conditions and the Company’s targeted balance sheet composition strategy, the Company intends to hold its available-for-sale securities in unrealized loss positions through the anticipated recovery period.
Held-to-maturity securities decreased $0.1 billion, or 1.7%, from $8.4 billion at December 31, 2024, to $8.3 billion at
March 31, 2025, primarily due to paydown activities across the Agency MBS, Municipal bonds and notes, and Agency CMBS categories. There were no purchases of held-to-maturity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average FTE yield on the held-to-maturity portfolio was 3.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 3.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The 60 basis point increase is primarily due to higher yields on securities that were purchased over the past year, as compared to the yields on securities with paydown activities.
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, gross unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities were $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The $0.1 billion decrease is primarily due to lower market interest rates. Held-to-maturity securities are evaluated for credit losses on a quarterly basis under the CECL methodology. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the ACL on held-to-maturity securities was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The weighted-average LTV ratio for non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multi-family loans at both
March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was 57%. The Company calculates its LTV ratios primarily using appraisals at origination unless a full appraisal is subsequently required based on deal-specific events.
Given the foundational change in office demand driven by the acceptance of remote work options, the commercial real estate market has continued to experience an increase in office property vacancies. As such, commercial real estate performance across the United States related to the traditional office sector continues to be an area of uncertainty. At March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of traditional office commercial real estate loans was approximately $0.8 billion, which had reserves of $41.7 million established against it. While the Company does anticipate ongoing change in the traditional office sector, management believes that its reserve levels reflect the expected credit losses in the portfolio.
Credit Policies and Procedures
The Bank has credit policies and procedures in place designed to support its lending activities within an acceptable level of risk, which are reviewed and approved by management and the Board of Directors on a regular basis. To assist with this process, management inspects reports generated by the Company’s loan reporting systems related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing loans, and potential problem loans.
Commercial non-mortgage, asset-based, and equipment finance loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate and service its debt. Assessment of the borrower’s management is a critical element of the underwriting process and credit decision. Once it has been determined that the borrower’s management possesses sound ethics and a solid business acumen, current and projected cash flows are examined to determine the ability of the borrower to repay obligations, as contracted. Commercial non-mortgage, asset-based, and equipment finance loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower, and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. However, the cash flows of borrowers may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans, as applicable, may fluctuate in value. Most commercial non-mortgage, asset-based, and equipment finance loans are secured by the assets being financed and may incorporate personal guarantees of the principal balance.
Commercial real estate loans, including multi-family, are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to those for commercial non-mortgage, asset-based, and equipment finance loans. These loans are primarily viewed as cash flow loans, and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Repayment of commercial real estate loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan, the market in which the property is located, and the tenants of the property securing the loan. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. All transactions are appraised to determine market value. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Management periodically utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting its commercial real estate loan portfolio.
The Bank requires a valuation of real estate collateral, which generally includes third-party appraisals, at the time of origination or renewal in accordance with regulatory guidance. On an annual basis, appraisal assumptions and other factors are internally reviewed to determine whether an incremental third-party appraisal is warranted. New appraisals are obtained sooner if a loan becomes adversely classified, substandard, or non-accrual.
Consumer loans are subject to policies and procedures developed to manage the specific risk characteristics of the portfolio. These policies and procedures, coupled with relatively small individual loan amounts and predominately collateralized loan structures, are spread across many different borrowers, minimizing the level of credit risk. Trend and outlook reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis, and policies and procedures are modified or developed, as needed. Underwriting factors for residential mortgage and home equity loans include the borrower’s FICO score, the loan amount relative to property value, and the borrower’s debt-to-income level. The Bank originates both qualified mortgage and non-qualified mortgage loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases
The ACL on loans and leases increased $23.7 million, or 3.4%, from $689.6 million at December 31, 2024, to $713.3 million at March 31, 2025, primarily due to additional loan and lease reserves resulting from uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment and risk rating migration, partially offset by net charge-offs.
The following table summarizes the percentage allocation of the ACL across the loans and leases categories: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)The ACL allocated to a single loan and lease category does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.
Methodology
The Company’s ACL on loans and leases is considered to be a critical accounting policy. The ACL on loans and leases is a contra-asset account that offsets the amortized cost basis of loans and leases for the credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the asset. Executive management reviews and advises on the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis, which is maintained at a level that management deems to be sufficient to cover expected losses within the loan and lease portfolios.
The ACL on loans and leases is determined using the CECL model, whereby an expected lifetime credit loss is recognized at the origination or purchase of an asset, including those acquired through a business combination, which is then reassessed at each reporting date over the contractual life of the asset. The calculation of expected credit losses includes consideration of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Generally, expected credit losses are determined through a pooled, collective assessment of loans and leases with similar risk characteristics. However, if the risk characteristics of a loan or lease change such that it no longer aligns to that of the collectively assessed pool, it is removed from the population and individually assessed for credit losses. The total ACL on loans and leases recorded by management represents the aggregated estimated credit loss determined through both the collective and individual assessments.
Collectively Assessed Loans and Leases. Collectively assessed loans and leases are segmented based on product type and credit quality, and expected losses are determined using models that follow a PD, LGD, or EAD framework. Under these frameworks, expected credit losses are calculated as the product of the probability of a loan defaulting, expected loss given the occurrence of a default, and the expected exposure of a loan at default. Summing the product across loans over their lives yields the lifetime expected credit losses for a given portfolio. The Company’s PD and LGD calculations are predictive models that measure the current risk profile of the loan pools using forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions, historical loss information, loan-level risk attributes, and credit quality indicators. The calculation of EAD follows an iterative process to determine the expected remaining principal balance of a loan based on historical paydown rates for loans of a similar segment within the same portfolio. The calculation of portfolio exposure in future quarters incorporates expected losses, the loan’s amortization schedule, and prepayment rates.
The Company’s models incorporate a single economic forecast scenario and macroeconomic assumptions over a reasonable
and supportable forecast period. The development of the reasonable and supportable forecast assumes that each portfolio will revert to its long-term loss rate expectation. The reasonable and supportable forecast period is two years after which the reversion period is one year. Models use output reversion and revert to mean historical portfolio loss rates on a straight-line basis in the third year of the forecast.
The Company incorporates forecasts of macroeconomic variables in the determination of expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables are selected for each class of financing receivable based on relevant factors, such as asset type and the correlation of the variables to credit losses, among others. Data from the forecast scenario of these macroeconomic variables are used as inputs to the modeled loss calculation.
A portion of the collective ACL is comprised of qualitative adjustments for risk characteristics that are not reflected or captured in the quantitative models, but are likely to impact the measurement of estimated credit losses. Qualitative adjustments are based on management’s judgment of the Company, market, industry, or business specific data, and may be applied in relation to economic forecasts when relevant facts and circumstances are expected to impact credit losses, particularly in times of significant volatility in economic activity. Qualitative factors that are generally used in the Company’s models for all loan and lease portfolios include, but are not limited to, nature and volume of portfolio growth, credit quality trends, underwriting exception levels, quality of internal loan review, credit concentrations, and staffing trends. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company incorporated a new economic uncertainty qualitative factor in its models to reflect the estimated impact from proposed tariffs, a heightened risk of recession/inflation, and the general economic uncertainty that has developed, which resulted in an increase to the collective ACL of $19.4 million from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025. The qualitative portion of the collective ACL accounted for approximately 40% and 39% of the total ACL on loans and leases at
March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Excluding the impact from the new economic uncertainty qualitative factor in the first quarter of 2025, the balance of qualitative reserves primarily relates to credit quality trends and credit concentration factors, which remained relatively stable from period to period.
Individually Assessed Loans and Leases. If the risk characteristics of a loan or lease change such that it no longer matches the risk characteristics of the collectively assessed pool, it is removed from the population and individually assessed for credit losses. Generally, all non-accrual loans and loans with a charge-off are individually assessed. The measurement method used to calculate the expected credit loss on an individually assessed loan or lease is dependent on the type and whether the loan or lease is considered to be collateral dependent. Methods for collateral dependent commercial loans are either based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell when the basis of repayment is the sale of collateral, or the present value of the expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. For non-collateral dependent loans, either a discounted cash flow method or other loss factor method is used. Any individually assessed loan or lease for which no specific allowance is deemed necessary is either the result of sufficient cash flows or sufficient collateral coverage relative to the amortized cost of the asset.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Asset Quality Ratios
The Company manages asset quality using risk tolerance levels established through the Company’s underwriting standards, servicing, and management of its loan and lease portfolio. Loans and leases for which a heightened risk of loss has been identified are regularly monitored to mitigate further deterioration and preserve asset quality in future periods. Non-performing assets, credit losses, and net charge-offs are considered by management to be key measures of asset quality.

Net charge-offs increased $17.5 million, or 46.6%, to $55.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to increases in net charge-offs in the commercial real estate and asset-based lending categories, partially offset by decreases in net charge-offs in the commercial non-mortgage and equipment finance categories.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company manages its cash flow requirements through proactive liquidity measures at both the Holding Company and the Bank. In order to maintain stable, cost-effective funding, and to promote overall balance sheet strength, the liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored, and adjustments are made to balance sources and uses of funds, as appropriate. At March 31, 2025, management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity position, capital resources, or operating activities.
Cash inflows are provided through a variety of sources, including principal and interest payments on loans and investments, unpledged securities that can be sold or utilized to secure funding, and new deposits. The Company is committed to maintaining a strong base of core deposits, which consists of demand, health savings, interest-bearing checking, money market, and savings accounts, to support growth in its loan portfolios. Management actively monitors the interest rate environment and makes adjustments to its deposit strategy in response to evolving market conditions, funding needs, and client relationship dynamics.
Holding Company Liquidity. The primary source of liquidity at the Holding Company is dividends from the Bank. To a lesser extent, investment income, net proceeds from investment sales, borrowings, and public offerings may provide additional liquidity. The Holding Company generally uses its funds for principal and interest payments on senior notes, subordinated notes, and junior subordinated debt, dividend payments to preferred and common stockholders, repurchases of its common stock, and purchases of debt and equity securities, as applicable.
There are certain restrictions on the Bank’s payment of dividends to the Holding Company, which can be found within
Note 10: Regulatory Capital and Restrictions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this report, and under the section captioned “Supervision and Regulation” in Part I - Item 1. Business of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Bank paid $100.0 million in dividends to the Holding Company. At March 31, 2025, there was $641.4 million of retained earnings available for the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Holding Company. On April 30, 2025, the Bank was approved to pay the Holding Company $200.0 million in dividends for the second quarter of 2025.
The quarterly cash dividend to common stockholders remained at $0.40 per common share for the three months ended
March 31, 2025. On April 30, 2025, it was announced that the Holding Company’s Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share on Webster common stock. For the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, quarterly cash dividends of $328.125 per share and $16.25 per share, respectively, were declared. The Company continues to monitor economic forecasts, anticipated earnings, and its capital position in the determination of its dividend payments.
The Holding Company maintains a common stock repurchase program, which was approved by the Board of Directors, that permits management to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC, subject to the availability and trading price of stock, general market conditions, alternative uses for capital, regulatory considerations, and the Company’s financial performance. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Holding Company repurchased 3,569,454 shares under the program at a weighted-average price of $50.70 per share, totaling $181.0 million. At March 31, 2025, the Holding Company’s remaining repurchase authority was $47.0 million. On April 30, 2025, the Board of Directors increased management’s authority to repurchase shares of Webster common stock under the repurchase program by $700.0 million.
In addition, the Holding Company will periodically acquire common shares outside of the repurchase program related to employee stock compensation plan activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Holding Company repurchased 384,673 shares at a weighted-average price of $56.62 per share, totaling $21.8 million, for this purpose.
Webster Bank Liquidity. The Bank’s primary source of funding is its core deposits. Including time deposits, the Bank had a loan to total deposit ratio of 80.9% and 81.1% at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Bank is required by OCC regulations to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations. The adequacy of liquidity, as assessed by the OCC, depends on factors such as overall asset and liability structure, market conditions, competition, and the nature of the institution’s deposit and loan customers. At March 31, 2025, the Bank exceeded all regulatory liquidity requirements. The Company has designed a detailed contingency plan in order to respond to any liquidity concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner, including early detection of potential problems and corrective action to address liquidity stress scenarios.
Capital Requirements. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and/or the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (applies to the Bank only), both the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated pursuant to regulatory directives. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by Basel III to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of CET1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Total Risk-Based Capital, and Tier 1 Leverage Capital, as defined in the regulations.
The following table presents the minimum ratios required as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Adequately Capitalized | | Well Capitalized |
CET1 Risk-Based Capital | | 4.5 | % | | 6.5 | % |
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital | | 6.0 | | | 8.0 | |
Total Risk-Based Capital | | 8.0 | | | 10.0 | |
Tier 1 Leverage Capital | | 4.0 | | | 5.0 | |
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, both the Company and the Bank were classified as “well-capitalized.” Management believes that no events or changes have occurred subsequent to quarter-end and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would change this designation.
The Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios, which exceeded minimum regulatory requirements, were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2025 (1) | | December 31, 2024 (1) |

(1)In accordance with regulatory capital rules, the Company elected to delay the estimated impact of the adoption of CECL on its regulatory capital over a two-year deferral period, which ended on January 1, 2022, and a subsequent three-year transition period, which ended on December 31, 2024. During the three-year transition period, regulatory capital ratios phased out the aggregate amount of the regulatory capital benefit provided from the delayed CECL adoption in the initial two years. For 2024, the Company was allowed 25% of the regulatory capital benefit as of December 31, 2021. Full absorption occurred in 2025.
Additional information regarding the required regulatory capital levels and ratios applicable to the Company and the Bank can be found within Note 10: Regulatory Capital and Restrictions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements.
Sources and Uses of Funds
Sources of Funds. Deposits are the primary source of cash flows for the Bank’s lending activities and general operational needs. Loan and securities repayments, proceeds from sales of loans and securities held for sale, and maturities also provide cash flows. While scheduled loan and securities repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, prepayments and other deposit inflows are influenced by economic conditions and prevailing interest rates, the timing of which are inherently uncertain. Additional sources of funds are provided by both short-term and long-term borrowings, and to a lesser extent, dividends received as part of the Bank’s membership with the FHLB and FRB.
Deposits. The Bank offers a wide variety of checking and savings deposit products designed to meet the transactional and investment needs of its consumer and business customers. The Bank’s deposit services include, but are not limited to, ATM and debit card use, direct deposit, ACH payments, mobile banking, internet-based banking, banking by mail, account transfers, and overdraft protection, among others. The Bank manages the flow of funds in its deposit accounts and interest rates consistent with FDIC regulations. The Bank’s Consumer and Digital Pricing Committee and its Commercial and Institutional Liability and Loan Pricing Committee both meet regularly to determine pricing and marketing initiatives. In addition, the Bank may use brokered certificates of deposit as a funding source, which are managed based on established limits set by the ALCO.
Total deposits were $65.6 billion and $64.8 billion at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The
$0.8 billion net increase in total deposits was primarily due to an increase in money market deposits, particularly from interLINK, and growth in savings and health savings accounts, partially offset by decreases in brokered certificates of deposit and non-interest-bearing demand.

Uninsured deposits represent the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit or similar state deposit insurance regime, and amounts in any other uninsured investment or deposit accounts that are classified as deposits and not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regimes. The Company calculates its uninsured deposit balances based on the methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting requirements, which includes an estimated portion and affiliate deposits. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, total uninsured deposits as per regulatory reporting requirements and reported on Schedule RC-O of the Bank’s Call Report were $22.1 billion and $22.6 billion, respectively.
The following table summarizes uninsured deposits information at March 31, 2025, after certain exclusions:

(1)Reflects $7.9 billion and $15.5 billion of additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the FRB, respectively, and $2.0 billion of interest-bearing deposits held at FRB.
Uninsured deposits, after adjusting for affiliate deposits and collateralized deposits, represented 20.7% of total deposits at March 31, 2025. Management believes that this presentation provides a more accurate view of deposits at risk given that affiliate deposits are not customer-facing, and therefore are eliminated upon consolidation, and collateralized deposits are secured by other means. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s uninsured deposits as a percentage of total deposits, adjusted for affiliate deposits and collateralized deposits, is consistent with the percentage reported at March 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the portion of U.S. time deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit and time deposits otherwise uninsured by contractual maturity: | | | | | |

Borrowings. The Bank’s primary borrowing sources include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and long-term debt. Total borrowings were $3.9 billion and $3.4 billion at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and represented 4.9% and 4.3% of total assets, respectively. The $0.5 billion net increase is primarily due to an increase of $0.8 billion in FHLB advances, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 billion in securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally a form of short-term funding for the Bank in which it sells securities to counterparties with an agreement to buy them back in the future at a fixed price. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $83.4 million and $344.2 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The $260.8 million decrease is primarily due to a change in short-term funding mix.
The Bank may also purchase term and overnight federal funds to meet its short-term liquidity needs. There were no federal funds purchased at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
FHLB advances are not only utilized as a source of funding, but also for interest rate risk management purposes. FHLB advances totaled $2.9 billion and $2.1 billion at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The $0.8 billion increase is primarily due to a change in short-term funding mix.
Long-term debt consists of senior notes maturing in 2029, subordinated notes maturing in 2029 and 2030, and junior subordinated notes maturing in 2033. Long-term debt remained flat at $0.9 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Bank had additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $7.9 billion and $8.7 billion at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Bank also had additional borrowing capacity from the FRB of $15.5 billion and $13.3 billion at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Unencumbered investment securities of $0.9 billion at March 31, 2025 could have been used for collateral on borrowings or to increase borrowing capacity by either $0.6 billion with the FHLB or $0.7 billion with the FRB.

(1)The average balance of long-term debt for the three months ended March 31, 2024, has been recast in connection with a change in presentation effective as of December 31, 2024. Additional information regarding this change in presentation can be found under the section captioned “Net Interest Income Analysis” contained elsewhere in this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Additional information regarding period-end borrowings balances and rates can be found within Note 7: Borrowings in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements.
Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 11 district FHLBs, each of which is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. An activity-based capital stock investment in the FHLB is required in order for the Bank to maintain its membership and access advances and other extensions of credit for sources of funds and liquidity purposes. The FHLB capital stock investment is restricted as there is no market for it, and it can only be redeemed by the FHLB. The Bank held FHLB capital stock of $120.7 million and $91.7 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Bank received $1.4 million in dividends from the FHLB. The most recent FHLB quarterly cash dividend was paid on
May 2, 2025, in an amount equal to an annual yield of 7.39%.
The Bank is also required to hold FRB stock equal to 6% of its capital and surplus, of which 50% is paid. The remaining 50% is subject to call when deemed necessary by the Federal Reserve System. Similar to FHLB stock, the FRB capital stock investment is restricted as there is no market for it, and it can only be redeemed by the FRB. The Bank held FRB capital stock of $230.0 million and $229.6 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Bank did not receive any dividends from the FRB during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The most recent FRB semi-annual cash dividend was paid on December 31, 2024, in an amount equal to an annual yield of 4.24%.
Uses of Funds. The Company enters into various contractual obligations in the normal course of business that require future cash payments and that could impact its short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. The following table summarizes significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations at March 31, 2025. The actual timing and amounts of future cash payments may differ from the amounts presented. Based on the Company’s current liquidity position, it is expected that our sources of funds will be sufficient to fulfill these obligations when they come due. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)Interest payments on borrowings have been excluded.
(2)The Company settled $12.5 million of its total contingent consideration obligation in April 2025. Additional information regarding the nature of the Company’s contingent consideration arrangements can be found within Note 14: Fair Value Measurements.
(3)Purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services of $1.0 million or more that are enforceable and legally binding and specify all significant terms.
In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company offers financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credit, which involve, to a varying degree, elements of credit risk. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially funded, the total commitment amount of $12.6 billion at March 31, 2025, does not necessarily reflect future cash payments.
The Company also enters into commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds and tax credit structures to assist the Bank in meeting its responsibilities under the CRA. The total unfunded commitment for these alternative investments was $861.6 million at March 31, 2025. However, the timing of capital calls cannot be reasonably estimated, and depending on the nature of the contract, the entirety of the capital committed by the Company may not be called.
Pension obligations are funded by the Company, as needed, to provide for participant benefit payments as it relates to the Company’s frozen, non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan. Decisions to contribute to the defined benefit pension plan are made based upon pension funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act, the maximum amount deductible under the Internal Revenue Code, the actual performance of plan assets, and trends in the regulatory environment. The Company does not currently anticipate that it will be required to contribute to the defined benefit pension plan in 2025. The Company’s non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans and other post-employment benefit plans are unfunded.
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects a liability for uncertain tax positions of $16.7 million and $9.5 million of accrued interest and penalties, respectively. The ultimate timing and amount of any related future cash settlements cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty.
On November 29, 2023, the FDIC published a final rule implementing a special assessment for certain banks to recover losses incurred by protecting uninsured depositors of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank upon their failure in March 2023. At March 31, 2025, the Company’s remaining accrual for its estimated special assessment charge was $33.9 million, which is anticipated to be collected over a remainder of six quarterly assessment periods. The FDIC retains the right to cease collection early, extend the special assessment collection period, and impose shortfall special assessments if actual losses exceed the amounts collected. The Company continues to monitor the estimated loss attributable to the protection of uninsured depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which could impact the amount of its accrued liability.
In connection with the completion of a multi-family securitization during the third quarter of 2024, the Company assumed an obligation to reimburse, or guarantee, losses incurred by the multi-family securitization trusts of up to 12% of the aggregate UPB of the loans at the time of sale. Essentially, this obligation represents a first credit loss enhancement provided by the Company. Based on the credit quality of the multi-family loans, among other factors, the Company estimated the amount of its reimbursement obligation to be $3.3 million at March 31, 2025. The Company has not yet been required to make any guarantee payments to Freddie Mac. However, in the event that value of the assets in the multi-family securitization trusts significantly declined, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss could be $36.4 million.
Additional information regarding credit-related financial instruments and the FDIC special assessment and alternative investments can be found within Note 17: Commitments and Contingencies and Note 11: Variable Interest Entities, respectively, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this report. Additional information regarding defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, income taxes, and the multifamily securitization can be found within Note 19: Retirement Benefit Plans, Note 9: Income Taxes, and Note 5: Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, respectively, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk
The Company’s ALCO uses four main tools to manage interest rate risk: (i) the size, duration, and credit risk of the investment portfolio; (ii) the size and duration of the wholesale funding portfolio; (iii) interest rate contracts; and (iv) the pricing and structure of loans and deposits. Interest rate risk is measured using simulation analysis and asset/liability modeling software to calculate the Company’s earnings at risk and equity at risk. Earnings at risk is defined as the change in net interest income due to change in interest rates. Equity at risk is defined as the change in the net economic value of financial assets, financial liabilities, and off-balance sheet financial instruments, due to changes in interest rates compared to a base net economic value.
Information regarding the key model assumptions and methods used to calculate the Company’s earnings at risk and equity at risk, along with other information regarding the Company’s asset/liability management process overall, can be found under the section captioned “Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk” contained in Part II - Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no changes to management's asset/liability management process during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that had a material impact on its measurement of interest rate risk.
The following table summarizes the estimated impact that gradual parallel changes in interest rates of up and down 100, 200, and 300 basis points might have on the Company’s net interest income over a twelve-month period starting at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, as compared to actual net interest income and assuming no changes in interest rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| -300bp | -200bp | -100bp | +100bp | +200bp | +300bp |
March 31, 2025 | (2.8)% | (1.4)% | (0.5)% | 0.8% | 1.4% | 1.8% |
December 31, 2024 | (1.6)% | (0.6)% | —% | 0.4% | 0.6% | 0.8% |
Asset sensitivity in terms of net interest income increased from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025, primarily due to changes in the overall balance sheet composition, which included an increase in cash and cash equivalents and floating-rate commercial & institutional loans, partially offset by an increase in residential mortgages.
The following table summarizes the estimated impact that yield curve twists or immediate non-parallel changes in interest rates of up and down 50 and 100 basis points might have on the Company’s net interest income over a twelve-month period starting at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Short End of the Yield Curve | | Long End of the Yield Curve |
| -100bp | -50bp | +50bp | +100bp | | -100bp | -50bp | +50bp | +100bp |
March 31, 2025 | 1.3% | 0.6% | (0.2)% | (0.7)% | | (2.2)% | (1.1)% | 1.0% | 2.0% |
December 31, 2024 | 2.1% | 1.0% | (0.7)% | (1.6)% | | (2.2)% | (1.0)% | 1.0% | 1.9% |
Sensitivity to the short end of the yield curve for net interest income decreased from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025, also primarily due to changes in the overall balance sheet composition. Sensitivity to the long end of the yield curve generally remained unchanged from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the estimated economic value of financial assets, financial liabilities, and off-balance sheet financial instruments and the corresponding estimated change in economic value if interest rates were to instantaneously increase or decrease by 100 basis points at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Net | | $ | 12,968,711 | | $ | 90,785 | | $ | (409,876) | |
Net change as % base net economic value | | | 0.7 | % | (3.2) | % |
Changes in economic value can best be described through duration, which is a measure of the price sensitivity of financial assets and financial liabilities due to changes in interest rates. Overall, the longer the duration, the greater the price sensitivity due to changes in interest rates.
Duration gap represents the difference between the duration of financial assets and financial liabilities. A duration gap at or near zero would imply that the balance sheet is matched and, therefore, would exhibit no change in estimated economic value for changes in interest rates. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s duration gap was 0.0 years.
These earnings and net economic value estimates are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ, and also assume that management does not take any additional action to mitigate any positive or negative effects from changing interest rates. Management believes that the Company’s interest rate risk position at March 31, 2025, represents a reasonable level of risk given the current interest rate outlook. Management continues to monitor interest rates and other relevant factors given recent market volatility and is prepared to take additional action, as necessary.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying notes thereto, in accordance with GAAP and practices generally applicable to the financial services industry, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. While management’s estimates are made based on historical experience, current available information, and other factors that are deemed to be relevant, actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.
Accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and can be susceptible to significant change in the near term. Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Management has identified that the Company’s most critical accounting estimates are those related to the ACL on loans and leases and business combinations accounting policies. These accounting policies and their underlying estimates are discussed directly with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases
The ACL on loans and leases is a reserve established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company’s loan and lease portfolios at the balance sheet date. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using predictive methods and models that follow a PD, LGD, EAD, or loss rate framework and include consideration of past events, current conditions, macroeconomic variables (i.e., unemployment, gross domestic product, property values, and interest rate spreads), and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Changes to the ACL on loans and leases and, therefore, to the related provision for credit losses, can materially affect financial results.
The determination of the appropriate level of ACL on loans and leases inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant estimates of current credit risks and trends using existing qualitative and quantitative information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers and macroeconomic variables that the Company is more susceptible to, unforeseen events such as natural disasters and pandemics, along with new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other factors, both within and outside the Company’s control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans and leases.
It is difficult to estimate the sensitivity of how potential changes in any one economic factor or input might affect the overall reserve because a wide variety of factors and inputs are considered in estimating the ACL and changes in those factors and inputs considered may not occur at the same rate and may not be consistent across all product types. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.
Executive management reviews and advises on the adequacy of the ACL on loans and leases on a quarterly basis. Although the overall balance is determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for any of the loan and lease portfolios.
Additional information regarding the determination of the ACL on loans and leases, including the Company’s valuation methodology, can be found under the section captioned “Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases” contained elsewhere in this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and within Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting generally requires that the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The determination of fair value often involves the use of internal or third-party valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses. Particularly, the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of the core deposit intangible asset acquired in the Ametros acquisition included estimates related to discount rates, client attrition rates, an alternative cost of funds, and other relevant factors, which are inherently subjective. A description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Ametros acquisition can be found within Note 2: Business Developments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Accounting Standards Updates
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been omitted or condensed. Therefore, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the future results that may be attained for the entire year or other interim periods.
In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been reflected to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the reporting periods presented. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets under administration or assets under management that the Company holds or manages in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain prior period amounts disclosed in Note 9: Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss), Net of Tax have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Relevant Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
ASU No. 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Specifically, the amendments in this Update require disclosure of: (i) a tabular reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, with prescribed categories that are required to be disclosed, and the separate disclosure and disaggregation of prescribed reconciling items with an effect equal to 5% or more of the amount determined by multiplying pre-tax income from continuing operations by the application statutory rate; (ii) a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority (greater than 50%) of the effect of the state and local income taxes; and (iii) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdictions that comprise 5% or more of total income taxes paid, net of refunds received. The amendments in this Update also include certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.
The Update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, which it will adopt in the fourth quarter of 2025, to determine the impact on its income tax disclosures.
ASU No. 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period, including the amounts of: (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depletion included in each relevant expense caption. For the employee compensation category, bank holding companies may continue to present compensation expense on the face of the income statement in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 210.9-04. A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively are also required to be disclosed. In addition, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, their definition of selling expenses.
The Update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its non-interest expense disclosures; however, the impact is not expected to be material.
Note 2: Business Developments
Ametros Acquisition
On January 24, 2024, the Bank acquired all of the equity interest in Ametros from Long Ridge Capital Management (the “Seller”). Ametros is a custodian and administrator of medical funds from insurance claim settlements that helps individuals manage their ongoing medical care through its CareGuard service and proprietary technology platform. The acquisition provided the Bank with a fast-growing source of low-cost and long-duration deposits, new sources of non-interest income, and enhanced its employee benefit and healthcare financial services expertise.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the total purchase price, which included cash paid of $359.7 million, the forgiveness of $12.9 million in long-term debt, and the assumption of a $5.8 million liability for the Seller’s transaction expenses, has been allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition-date fair values, as summarized in the following table: | | | | | |
(In thousands) | Fair Value |
Purchase price consideration | $ | 378,424 | |
Assets: | |
Cash and due from banks | 310 | |
Premises and equipment | 1,078 | |
Other intangible assets | 188,900 | |
Deferred tax assets, net | (35,889) | |
Other assets: | |
Funds held in escrow | 288,167 | |
Accounts receivable | 2,435 | |
Prepaid expenses | 1,166 | |
Total other assets | 291,768 | |
Total assets acquired | $ | 446,167 | |
Liabilities: | |
Interest-bearing deposits (1) | (20,622) | |
Other liabilities: | |
Accounts payable | 684 | |
Accrued expenses | 4,270 | |
Deferred revenue | 20,391 | |
Members’ funds | 288,167 | |
Operating lease liabilities | 838 | |
Total other liabilities | 314,350 | |
Total liabilities assumed | $ | 293,728 | |
Net assets acquired | 152,439 | |
Pre-existing equity interest (2) | $ | 2,200 | |
Goodwill | $ | 228,185 | |
(1)The $20.6 million reflects the amount held in Ametros’ operating cash account at the Bank on January 24, 2024. Upon acquisition, such cash and the Bank’s corresponding deposit liability owed to Ametros were eliminated in consolidation, which resulted in a decrease to interest-bearing deposits for the Bank and the Bank’s legal title to the funds being held in such operating cash account.
(2)Prior to the acquisition date, the Company had a 0.6% equity interest in Ametros. The consideration transferred reflects the purchase price for the remaining 99.4% of the business. Upon acquisition, the Company recognized a $1.5 million gain in Other income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, which represents the difference between the cost basis and estimated acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s pre-existing equity interest in Ametros.
The Company’s valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Ametros acquisition were considered final as of December 31, 2024. There were no adjustments to fair value estimates recognized during the measurement period. The $228.2 million of goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from acquiring Ametros, primarily due to its strong market position and its assembled workforce, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Information regarding the allocation of goodwill to the Company’s reportable segments can be found within Note 15: Segment Reporting.
The Company incurred $3.1 million of professional and outside services expenses related to the acquisition of Ametros during the first quarter of 2024. The revenue and earnings related to the Ametros business since the acquisition date are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for both the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, and were not material.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Other intangible assets. The Company identified and recognized a $182.8 million core deposit intangible asset and a
$6.1 million trade name intangible asset. A core deposit intangible asset represents the value of relationships with deposit customers. The fair value of the core deposit intangible asset was estimated using a net cost savings method, a form of discounted cash flow methodology, which gave appropriate consideration to expected client attrition rates and other applicable adjustments to the projected deposit balance, the interest cost and net maintenance cost associated with the client deposit base, an alternative cost of funds, and a discount rate that was used to discount the future economic benefits of the core deposit intangible asset to present value. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 25 years, which is the period over which the estimated economic benefits are estimated to be received. The fair value of the trade name intangible asset for the Ametros brand was estimated using a relief-from-royalty methodology, which models the cost savings from owning the brand rather than licensing it from a third party. The trade name intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 5 years.
Funds held in escrow and Members’ funds. Funds held in escrow represent amounts held in interest-bearing checking accounts at insured depository institutions other than the Bank for the purpose of providing post-settlement medical administration services on a respective member’s behalf. Members’ funds is the corresponding liability to the Funds held in escrow. Given that these amounts can be withdrawn and/or directed for use on demand, as long as in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement, their carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Sale of Mortgage Servicing Rights
On February 12, 2024, the Company sold the majority of its mortgage servicing portfolio, which comprised 9,184 individual residential mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $1.4 billion. In connection with the sale, the Company received net cash proceeds of $18.4 million and derecognized $6.7 million of mortgage servicing rights. The resulting $11.7 million net gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights is included in Other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and in Consumer Banking for segment reporting purposes.
Joint Venture with Marathon Asset Management
On July 19, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Marathon Asset Management and formed a private credit joint venture (“the joint venture”), which will deliver direct lending solutions for sponsor-backed middle market companies across the country. The Company and Marathon Asset Management each own 50 percent of the joint venture. Other than its formation, there has been no activity related to the joint venture as of March 31, 2025.

The $112.4 million decrease in gross unrealized losses of available-for-sale securities from December 31, 2024, to
March 31, 2025, is primarily due to lower market interest rates. The Company assesses each available-for-sale security that is in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is a result of any credit related factors. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the ACL on available-for-sale securities was $0.9 million, which related to a single Corporate debt security. Each of the Company’s other available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025 are investment grade, current as to principal and interest, and their price changes are consistent with interest and credit spreads when adjusting for duration, convexity, rating, and industry differences.
Based on current market conditions and the Company’s targeted balance sheet composition strategy, the Company intends to hold its available-for-sale securities with unrealized loss positions through the anticipated recovery period. The issuers of these available-for-sale securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge, established any cause for default. Market prices are expected to approach par as the securities approach maturity.
Contractual Maturities
The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity: | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total available-for-sale | $ | 9,941,377 | | | $ | 9,360,097 | |
Available-for-sale securities that are not due at a single maturity date have been categorized based on the maturity date of the underlying collateral. Actual principal cash flows may differ from this categorization as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

An ACL on held-to-maturity securities is recorded for certain Municipal bonds and notes to account for expected lifetime credit losses. Agency securities represent obligations issued by a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or other federally related entity and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed and, therefore, assumed to be zero loss. Held-to-maturity securities with gross unrealized losses and no ACL are considered to be high credit quality and, therefore, zero credit loss has been recorded.
The following table summarizes the activity in the ACL on held-to-maturity securities: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Actual principal cash flows may differ from this categorization as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
Credit Quality Information
The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity securities through credit ratings provided by S&P, Moody’s, Fitch Ratings, Inc., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, or DBRS Inc. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P, or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, and are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were no speculative grade held-to-maturity securities. Held-to-maturity securities that are not rated are collateralized with U.S. Treasury obligations.
The following tables summarize the amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities based on their lowest publicly available credit rating: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)The $23.8 million increase in the ACL on loans and leases from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025, is primarily due to additional loan and lease reserves resulting from uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment and risk rating migration, partially offset by net charge-offs, particularly across the commercial non-mortgage, commercial real estate, and asset-based categories.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk may exist when a number of borrowers are engaged in similar activities, or activities in the same geographic region, and have similar economic characteristics that would cause them to be similarly impacted by changes in economic or other conditions. Concentrations of credit risk are controlled and monitored as part of the Company’s credit policies and procedures. The Company is a regional financial services holding company in the Northeast U.S. with a commercial concentration primarily in five geographic markets: New York City, Other New York Counties, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Massachusetts; and secondarily in the Southeast and Other states. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s concentration of credit risk associated with commercial real estate and multi-family loans, in aggregate, represented 40.3% and 40.7% of total loans and leases, respectively. At both March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s concentration of credit risk associated with commercial non-mortgage loans represented 34.4% of total loans and leases.
Credit Quality Indicators
To measure credit risk for the commercial portfolio, the Company employs a dual grade credit risk grading system for estimating the PD and LGD. The credit risk grade system assigns a rating to each borrower and to the facility, which together form a Composite Credit Risk Profile. The credit risk grade system categorizes borrowers by common financial characteristics that measure the credit strength of borrowers and facilities by common structural characteristics. The Composite Credit Risk Profile has ten grades, with each grade corresponding to a progressively greater risk of loss. Grades (1) to (6) are considered pass ratings, and grades (7) to (10) are considered criticized, as defined by the regulatory agencies. A (7) “Special Mention” rating has a potential weakness that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset. An (8) “Substandard” rating has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the full repayment of the debt. A (9) “Doubtful” rating has all of the same weaknesses as a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, given current facts, conditions, and values, improbable. Assets classified as a (10) “Loss” rating are considered uncollectible and charged-off. Risk ratings, which are assigned to differentiate risk within the portfolio, are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised to reflect changes in a borrower’s current financial position and outlook, risk profile, and the related collateral and structural position. Loan officers review updated financial information or other loan factors on at least an annual basis for all pass rated loans to assess the accuracy of the risk grade. Criticized loans undergo more frequent reviews and enhanced monitoring.
To measure credit risk for the consumer portfolio, the most relevant credit characteristic is the FICO score, which is a widely used credit scoring system that ranges from 300 to 850. A lower FICO score is indicative of higher credit risk and a higher FICO score is indicative of lower credit risk. FICO scores are updated at least quarterly. Factors such as past due status, employment status, collateral, geography, loans discharged in bankruptcy, and the status of first lien position loans on second lien position loans, are also considered to be consumer portfolio credit quality indicators. For portfolio monitoring purposes, the Company estimates the current value of property secured as collateral for home equity and residential first mortgage lending products on an ongoing basis. The estimate is based on home price indices compiled by the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices. Real estate price data is applied to the loan portfolios taking into account the age of the most recent valuation and geographic area.

Collateral Dependent Loans and Leases
A non-accrual loan or lease is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and when repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral. Commercial non-mortgage loans,
asset-based loans, and equipment financing loans and leases are generally secured by machinery and equipment, inventory, receivables, or other non-real estate assets, whereas commercial real estate, multi-family, residential, home equity, and other consumer loans are secured by real estate.
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of collateral dependent loans was $228.4 million and $139.5 million, respectively, for commercial loans and leases, and $26.6 million and $29.1 million, respectively, for consumer loans. The ACL for collateral dependent loans and leases is individually assessed based on the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell at the reporting date. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the collateral value associated with collateral dependent loans and leases was $253.0 million and $200.1 million, respectively.
Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
In certain circumstances, the Company enters into agreements to modify the terms of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. A variety of solutions are offered to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, including loan modifications that may result in principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, payment delays, term extensions, or a combination thereof. The following is a description of each of these types of modifications:
•Principal forgiveness – The outstanding principal balance of a loan may be reduced by a specified amount. Principal forgiveness may occur voluntarily as part of a negotiated agreement with a borrower, or involuntarily through a bankruptcy proceeding.
•Interest rate reductions – Includes modifications where the contractual interest rate of the loan has been reduced.
•Payment delays – Deferral arrangements that allow borrowers to delay a scheduled loan payment to a later date. Deferred loan payments do not affect the original contractual maturity terms of the loan. Modifications that result in only an insignificant payment delay are not disclosed. The Company generally considers a payment delay of three months or less to be insignificant.
•Term extensions – Extensions of the original contractual maturity date of the loan.
•Combination – Combination includes loans that have undergone more than one of the above loan modification types.
Significant judgment is required to determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These considerations vary by portfolio class. The Company has identified modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that are included in its disclosures as follows:
•Commercial: The Company evaluates modifications of loans to commercial borrowers that are rated substandard or worse, and includes the modifications in its disclosures to the extent that the modification is considered
other-than-insignificant.
•Consumer: The Company generally evaluates all modifications of loans to consumer borrowers subject to its loss mitigation program and includes them in its disclosures to the extent that the modification is considered other-than-insignificant.

(1)Securities sold under agreements to repurchase have an original maturity of one year or less for the periods presented.
The Company’s repurchase agreement counterparties are limited to primary dealers in government securities and commercial and municipal customers through the Corporate Treasury function. The Company has the right of offset with respect to repurchase agreement assets and liabilities with the same counterparty when master netting agreements are in place. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are presented as gross transactions at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, since only liabilities are outstanding. Agency MBS securities, which had an aggregate market value of $85.8 million and $358.4 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, are pledged to secure repurchase agreements. These Agency MBS securities are subject to changes in market value and, therefore, the Company may increase or decrease the level of securities pledged as collateral based upon movements in market value.

Note 10: Regulatory Capital and Restrictions
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and/or the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (applies to the Bank only), both the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated pursuant to regulatory directives. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by Basel III to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of CET1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Total Risk-Based Capital, and Tier 1 Leverage Capital, as defined in the regulations. CET1 capital consists of common stockholders’ equity, less deductions for goodwill and other intangible assets, and certain deferred tax adjustments. At the time of initial adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, the Company had elected to opt-out of the requirement to include certain components of AOCI in CET1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 capital plus preferred stock. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, as defined in the regulations. Tier 2 capital includes qualifying subordinated debt and the permissible portion of the ACL.
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, both the Company and the Bank were classified as “well-capitalized.”
The following tables provides information on the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)In accordance with regulatory capital rules, the Company elected to delay the estimated impact of the adoption of CECL on its regulatory capital over a two-year deferral period, which ended on January 1, 2022, and a subsequent three-year transition period, which ended on December 31, 2024. During the three-year transition period, regulatory capital ratios phased out the aggregate amount of the regulatory capital benefit provided from the delayed CECL adoption in the initial two years. For 2024, the Company was allowed 25% of the regulatory capital benefit as of December 31, 2021. Full absorption occurred in 2025.
Dividend Restrictions
The Holding Company is dependent upon dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to stockholders and for other cash requirements. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to various federal and state regulatory limitations. Express approval by the OCC is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels or if the amount would exceed net income for that year combined with undistributed net income for the preceding two years. The Bank paid the Holding Company dividends of $100.0 million and $175.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, for which no express approval from the OCC was required.
Cash Restrictions
The Bank is required under Federal Reserve regulations to maintain cash reserve balances in the form of vault cash or deposits held at a FRB to ensure that it is able to meet customer demands. The reserve requirement ratio is subject to adjustment as economic conditions warrant. On March 26, 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement ratios on all net transaction accounts to zero percent. As a result, the Bank has not been required to hold cash reserve balances since that date.
Note 11: Variable Interest Entities
The Company has an investment interest in the following entities that each meet the definition of a VIE. Information regarding the consolidation of VIEs can be found within Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Consolidated
Rabbi Trusts. The Company established a Rabbi Trust to meet its obligations due under the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers. The funding of the Rabbi Trust and the discontinuation of the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers occurred during 2012. In connection with its merger with Sterling Bancorp in 2022, the Company acquired assets held in a separate Rabbi Trust that had been previously established to fund obligations due under the Greater New York Savings Bank Directors’ Retirement Plan. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of these Rabbi Trusts as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant.
The Rabbi Trusts’ assets are included in Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investment earnings and any changes in fair value are included in Other income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additional information regarding the Rabbi Trusts’ investments can be found within Note 14: Fair Value Measurements.
Non-Consolidated
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Investments. The Company makes non-marketable equity investments in entities that sponsor affordable housing and other community development projects that qualify for the LIHTC Program pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these investments is not only to assist the Bank in meeting its responsibilities under the CRA, but also to provide a return, primarily through the realization of tax benefits. While the Company’s investment in an entity may exceed 50% of its outstanding equity interests, the entity is not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance. The Company applies the proportional amortization method to subsequently measure its investments in qualified affordable housing projects.
The following table summarizes the Company’s LIHTC investments and related unfunded commitments: | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands) | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Gross investment in LIHTC investments | $ | 1,510,214 | | | $ | 1,439,461 | |
Accumulated amortization | (254,162) | | | (222,101) | |
Net investment in LIHTC investments | $ | 1,256,052 | | | $ | 1,217,360 | |
| | | |
Unfunded commitments for LIHTC investments | $ | 749,732 | | | $ | 720,890 | |
The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s LIHTC investments and the related unfunded commitments are included in Accrued interest receivable and other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to its LIHTC investments is generally the aggregate carrying value as of each reporting date. However, income tax credits recognized related to these investments are subject to recapture by taxing authorities for up to a period of 15 years based on compliance provisions that are required to be met at the project level. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, there were $70.8 million and $158.7 million of commitments approved to fund LIHTC investments, respectively.
The following table summarizes the amount of income tax credits and other income tax benefits, and investment amortization generated from the Company’s LIHTC investments, which are recognized as a component of income tax expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Webster Statutory Trust I. The Company owns all the outstanding common stock of Webster Statutory Trust I, a financial vehicle that has issued, and in the future may issue, trust preferred securities. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of Webster Statutory Trust I. The only assets of Webster Statutory Trust I are junior subordinated debentures that are issued by the Company, which were acquired using the proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities and common stock. The junior subordinated debentures are included in Long-term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related interest expense is included in Long-term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additional information regarding these junior subordinated debentures can be found within Note 11: Borrowings in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Multi-family Securitization Trusts. The Company completed a multi-family securitization in the third quarter of 2024. Additional information regarding this multi-family securitization can be found within Note 5: Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the multi-family securitization trusts since it does not have the power to direct the activities that would have the most significant impact on their economic performance. The Company’s maximum exposure related to the multi-family securitization trusts is $36.4 million, which represents its obligation to Freddie Mac to guarantee losses up to 12% of the aggregate UPB of the loans at the time of sale. The obligation is secured in full by an irrevocable letter of credit issued by the FHLB.
Other Non-Marketable Investments. The Company invests in alternative investments comprising interests in non-public entities that cannot be redeemed since the investment is distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. The ultimate timing and amount of these distributions cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty. For each of these alternative investments that is classified as a VIE, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s other non-marketable investments was $230.0 million and $216.5 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is included in Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and its maximum exposure to loss, including unfunded commitments, was $341.8 million and $332.8 million, respectively. Additional information regarding other non-marketable investments can be found within Note 14: Fair Value Measurements.

Earnings per common share - basic | $ | 1.30 | | | $ | 1.23 | | | | | |
Earnings per common share - diluted | 1.30 | | | 1.23 | | | | | |
Earnings per common share is calculated under the two-class method in which all earnings, distributed and undistributed, are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company may provide for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock, and stock units to eligible employees and directors under its stock incentive plan. Holders of restricted stock are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities.
Potential common shares from performance-based restricted stock that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were 46,900 and 54,586 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Additional information regarding stock awards under the Company’s stock incentive plan can be found within Note 20: Share-Based Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8.

Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Positions and Offsetting
Derivatives Designated in Hedge Relationships. Interest rate swaps allow the Company to change the fixed or variable nature of an interest rate without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Certain pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges to effectively convert variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt, whereas certain receive fixed/pay variable interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges to effectively convert fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. Certain purchased options are also designated as cash flow hedges, allowing the Company to limit the potential adverse impact of variable interest rates by establishing a cap rate or floor rate in exchange for an upfront premium. The purchased options designated as cash flow hedges represent interest rate caps where payment is received from the counterparty if interest rates rise above the cap rate, and interest rate floors where payment is received from the counterparty when interest rates fall below the floor rate. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is 2.0 years.
Derivatives Not Designated in Hedge Relationships. The Company also enters into derivative transactions that are not designated in hedge relationships. The Company has a back-to-back swap program, whereby it enters into an interest rate swap with a qualified customer and simultaneously enters into an equal and opposite interest-rate swap with a swap counterparty, to hedge interest rate risk. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities with the same counterparty are presented on a net basis when master netting agreements are in place.

(1)The notional amount of interest rate swaps that were centrally-cleared through clearing housings was $69.6 million at March 31, 2025, and $71.1 million at December 31, 2024, for asset derivatives, and $1.2 million at March 31, 2025 and zero at December 31, 2024, for liability derivatives. Interest rate swaps that are centrally-cleared through clearing houses are “settled-to-market” and considered a single unit of account. In accordance with their rule books, clearing houses record the variation margin transferred for settled-to-market derivatives as a legal settlement of the derivative contract (i.e., the variation margin legally settles the outstanding exposure, but does not result in any other change or reset of the contractual terms of the derivative). The fair values of the Company’s settled-to-market interest rate swaps are presented net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and approximated zero.
(2)Other derivatives not designated in hedge relationships include foreign currency forward contracts related to lending arrangements, a Visa equity swap transaction, and risk participation agreements. Notional amounts of risk participation agreements were $294.0 million at March 31, 2025, and $294.5 million at December 31, 2024, for asset derivatives, and $750.3 million at March 31, 2025, and $796.6 million at December 31, 2024, for liability derivatives, all of which had insignificant related fair values.

Derivative Exposure. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $177.7 million of cash collateral received and $8.9 million of cash collateral posted included in Cash and due from banks on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company had $1.6 million in initial margin posted at clearing houses. The Company regularly evaluates the credit risk of its derivative customers, taking into account the likelihood of default, net exposures, and remaining contractual life, among other related factors. Credit risk exposure is mitigated as transactions with customers are generally secured by the same collateral of the underlying transactions. Current net credit exposure relating to derivatives with the Bank’s customers was $49.8 million at March 31, 2025. In addition, the Company monitors potential future exposure, representing its best estimate of exposure to remaining contractual maturity. The potential future exposure relating to derivatives with the Bank’s customers totaled $107.6 million at March 31, 2025. The Company has incorporated a credit valuation adjustment (contra-liability) to reflect non-performance risk in the fair value measurement of its derivatives, which totaled $5.3 million and $7.6 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Various factors impact changes in the valuation adjustment over time, such as changes in the credit spreads of the contracted parties, and changes in market rates and volatilities, which affect the total expected exposure of the derivative instruments.
Note 14: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The determination of fair value may require the use of estimates when quoted market prices are not available. Fair value estimates made at a specific point in time are based on management’s judgments regarding future expected losses, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of each financial instrument, and other subjective factors that cannot be determined with precision.
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, rate volatility, prepayment speeds, and credit ratings), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data, correlation, or other means.
•Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. This includes certain pricing models or other similar techniques that require significant management judgment or estimation.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Available-for-Sale Securities. When unadjusted quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company classifies its available-for-sale investment securities within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. These fair value measurements consider observable data, such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and the respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service’s results and has a process in place to challenge their valuations and methodologies. Government agency debentures, Municipal bonds and notes, Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, Corporate debt, Private label MBS, and Other available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The fair values presented for derivative financial instruments include any accrued interest. Foreign exchange contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and, accordingly, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Except for mortgage banking derivatives, all other derivative financial instruments are valued using third-party valuation software, which considers the present value of cash flows discounted using observable forward rate assumptions. The resulting fair value is then validated against valuations performed by dealer counterparties. Credit valuation adjustments, which are included in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. When credit valuation adjustments are significant to the overall fair value of a derivative financial instrument, the Company classifies that derivative financial instrument in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Otherwise, derivative financial instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, these credit valuation adjustments were not considered significant to the overall fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives. The Company uses forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities to manage the risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans, an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During this in-between time period, the Company is subject to the risk that market interest rates may change. If rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase mortgage loans, which would result in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans, or possibly a loss. In an effort to mitigate this risk, forward delivery sales commitments are established in which the Company agrees to either deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market. Accordingly, mortgage banking derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Originated Loans Held For Sale. The Company has elected to measure originated residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value under the fair value option per ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. Electing to measure originated residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better reflects the price the Company would expect to receive from the sale of these loans. The fair value of originated residential mortgage loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions. Accordingly, originated residential mortgage loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table compares the fair value to the UPB of originated residential mortgage loans held for sale: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
(In thousands) | Fair Value | | UPB | | Difference | | Fair Value | | UPB | | Difference |
Originated loans held for sale | $ | 688 | | | $ | 979 | | | $ | (291) | | | $ | 297 | | | $ | 283 | | | $ | 14 | |
Rabbi Trust Investments. Investments held in each of the Company’s Rabbi Trusts consist primarily of mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of these mutual funds are valued based on the NAV as reported by the trustee of the funds, which represents quoted prices in active markets. Accordingly, the Rabbi Trusts’ investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total cost basis of the investments held in the Rabbi Trusts was $9.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
Alternative Investments. Equity investments have a readily determinable fair value when unadjusted quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets. Accordingly, these alternative investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no equity investments with a readily determinable fair value at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
Equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value may qualify for the NAV practical expedient if they meet certain requirements. The Company’s alternative investments measured at NAV consist of investments in non-public entities that cannot be redeemed since investments are distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. Alternative investments measured at NAV are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, these alternative investments had a total carrying amount of $46.5 million and $43.4 million, respectively, and a remaining unfunded commitment of $31.5 million and $30.1 million, respectively.
Contingent Consideration. The Company recorded contingent consideration at fair value related to two earn-out agreements associated with the acquisition of interLINK in January 2023. The terms of the purchase agreement specified that the seller would receive earn-outs based on the ability of the Company to: (i) re-sign the existing broker dealers under contract, and (ii) generate $2.5 billion in new broker dealer deposit programs within three years of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and determined using an income approach considering management’s evaluation of the probability of achievement, forecasted achievement date (payment term), and a discount rate equivalent to the cost of debt. These significant inputs, which are the responsibility of management and calculated with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, are not observable, and accordingly, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables summarize the unobservable inputs used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities (dollars in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2025 |
Agreement | Maximum Amount | Probability of Achievement | Payment Term (in years) | Discount Rate | Fair Value |
(i) Re-sign broker dealers | $ | 207 | 99.0 % | 0.63 | 6.40 % | $ | 182 |
(ii) Deposit program growth (1) (2) | $ | 12,500 | 100.0 % | 0.08 | 6.40 % | $ | 12,500 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Agreement | Maximum Amount | Probability of Achievement | Payment Term (in years) | Discount Rate | Fair Value |
(i) Re-sign broker dealers | $ | 207 | 99.0 % | 0.88 | 6.40 % | $ | 182 |
(ii) Deposit program growth | $ | 12,500 | 100.0 % | 0.50 | 6.40 % | $ | 11,568 |
(1)During the first quarter of 2025, the Company re-evaluated its estimate of the forecasted achievement date (payment term) for the deposit program growth event earn-out, which resulted in a revised expected achievement date of April 30, 2025, instead of June 30, 2025. This change in estimate resulted in an increase in fair value of $0.9 million.
(2)The Company generated the required $2.5 billion in new broker dealer deposit programs in April 2025, which resulted in the cash payment of $12.5 million on April 22, 2025, to settle its contingent consideration obligation with StoneCastle Partners LLC in accordance with the purchase agreement.
Contingent consideration liabilities are included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities are included in Other expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(2)Certain alternative investments are recorded at NAV. Assets measured at NAV are not classified within the fair value hierarchy.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Alternative Investments. The measurement alternative has been elected for alternative investments without readily determinable fair values that do not qualify for the NAV practical expedient. The measurement alternative requires investments to be measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Accordingly, these alternative investments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of these alternative investments was $69.4 million and $61.5 million, respectively, of which $5.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, were considered to be measured at fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was $1.2 million in total write-ups due to observable price changes, and no write-downs due to impairment. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold alternative investments with a carrying amount of $1.7 million, for which the measurement alternative was elected, for proceeds of $5.0 million, resulting in total gains on sale of $3.3 million.
Loans Transferred to Held for Sale. Once a decision has been made to sell loans that were not previously classified as held for sale, these loans are transferred into the held for sale category and carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. At the time of transfer and classification as held for sale, any amount by which cost exceeds fair value is accounted for as a valuation allowance. This activity generally pertains to loans with observable inputs and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, should these loans include adjustments for changes in loan characteristics based on unobservable inputs, the loans would then be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were $63.2 million and $27.3 million, respectively, of loans on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, that had been transferred to held for sale.
Collateral Dependent Loans and Leases. Loans and leases for which repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral are considered collateral dependent, and are valued based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the reporting date, using customized discounting criteria. Accordingly, collateral dependent loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. OREO and repossessed assets are held at the lower of cost or fair value and are considered to be measured at fair value when recorded below cost. The fair value of OREO is calculated using independent appraisals or internal valuation methods, less estimated selling costs, and may consider available pricing guides, auction results, and price opinions. Certain repossessed assets may also require assumptions about factors that are not observable in an active market when determining fair value. Accordingly, OREO and repossessed assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total carrying value of OREO and repossessed assets was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In addition, the amortized cost of consumer loans secured by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure at March 31, 2025, was $12.0 million.
Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate fair value for those assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Given the short time frame to maturity, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, which is comprised of Cash and due from banks and Interest-bearing deposits, approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Held-to-Maturity Securities. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. These fair value measurements consider observable data, such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service’s results and has a process in place to challenge their valuations and methodologies. Held-to-maturity securities, which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, Municipal bonds and notes, and CMBS, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans and Leases, net. Except for collateral dependent loans and leases, the fair value of loans and leases held for investment is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology, based on future prepayments and market interest rates inclusive of an illiquidity discount for comparable loans and leases. The associated cash flows are then adjusted for associated credit risks and other potential losses, as appropriate. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Deposit Liabilities. The fair value of deposit liabilities, which is comprised of demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings, health savings, and money market accounts, reflects the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Deposit liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Time Deposits. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using rates that are currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds Purchased. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased that mature within 90 days approximates their carrying value. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased that mature after 90 days is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology based on current market rates and adjusted for associated credit risks, as appropriate. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Long-Term Debt. The fair value of FHLB advances and long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology in which discount rates are matched with the time period of the expected cash flows and adjusted for associated credit risks, as appropriate. FHLB advances and long-term debt are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts, estimated fair values, and classifications within the fair value hierarchy of selected financial instruments: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Note 15: Segment Reporting
The Company’s operations are organized into three reportable segments that represent its differentiated lines of business: Commercial Banking, Healthcare Financial Services, and Consumer Banking. The Company’s CODM is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses income before income taxes and the provision for credit losses, referred to as PPNR, to allocate resources, including financial and capital resources, employees, and property, for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments. The CODM also uses PPNR to assess the performance of each segment and in the compensation of certain employees.
Commercial Banking delivers financial solutions both nationally and regionally to a wide range of companies, investors, government entities, and other public and private institutions. Commercial Banking helps its clients achieve their business and financial goals with expertise in Commercial & Institutional Lending, Commercial Real Estate, Capital Markets, Capital Finance, and Treasury Management. Its Private Banking team also pairs holistic wealth solutions, including tailored lending, with commercial banking services.
Healthcare Financial Services includes HSA Bank and Ametros. HSA Bank is one the country’s largest providers of employee benefits solutions, including being one of the leading bank administrators of HSAs, emergency savings accounts, and flexible spending accounts administration services in 50 states. Ametros, the nation’s largest professional administrator of medical insurance claim settlements, helps individuals manage their ongoing medical care through their CareGuard service and proprietary technology platform.
Consumer Banking delivers customized financial solutions for individuals and families, private clients, and small business owners across 196 banking centers throughout the Northeast. Consumer Banking offers a full suite of deposit, lending, treasury management, and wealth management solutions delivered by experienced relationship managers and financial advisors. Consumer Banking also provides a fully digital banking experience through its mobile banking apps and BrioDirect.
Corporate and Reconciling Category
Certain Treasury activities and other corporate and functional divisions, such as information technology, human resources, risk management, bank operations, and the operations of interLINK, and amounts required to reconcile non-GAAP profitability metrics to those reported in accordance with GAAP are included in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
In addition to the amounts required to reconcile non-GAAP profitability metrics (i.e., estimates for FTP, allocations of equity capital) to those reported in accordance with GAAP, revenues reported in the Corporate and Reconciling category also include gains and losses on sale of investment securities and insignificant revenues from contracts with customers attributable to interLINK. Neither the Treasury function nor interLINK operations meet the definition of an operating segment, and therefore, are not considered for determining reportable segments.
Total assets reported in the Corporate and Reconciling category consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, FHLB/FRB stock, and other assets. The ACL on loans and leases is also reported in Total assets in the Corporate and Reconciling category. A provision for credit losses is allocated from the Corporate and Reconciling category to Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking based on the expected loss content of their specific loan and lease portfolios over a 3-year period (non-GAAP). There is no provision for credit losses associated with Healthcare Financial Services since that segment does not originate nor acquire loans and leases. Business development expenses, which include merger-related expenses and other strategic initiatives and restructuring costs, are also generally included in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
Change in Reportable Segments
From time to time, the Company may make reclassifications among the reportable segments to more appropriately reflect management’s view of the business and/or based on changes in the Company’s organizational structure or product lines. Accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar financial information published by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the segments, the financial information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.
Segment Reporting Methodology
The Company uses an internal profitability reporting system to generate PPNR by reportable segment, which is comprised of direct revenues, direct expenses, estimates for FTP, and allocations for equity capital, net operating costs and total support costs. Since the majority of each reportable segment’s revenue is interest, each segment’s interest revenue is reported net of its interest expense (net interest income). Estimates for FTP and allocations of equity capital and non-interest expense, certain of which are subjective in nature, are periodically reviewed and refined. Equity capital is allocated using a combination of risk-weighted asset and management assessment methodologies across the differentiated lines of business. Net operating costs and total support costs, which reflect costs for shared services and back-office support areas, are allocated using an activity and driver-based costing process. The full profitability measurement reports, which are prepared for each reportable segment and reviewed by the CODM on a monthly basis, reflect non-GAAP reporting methodologies. The differences between full profitability and GAAP results are reconciled in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
The goal of FTP is to encourage loan and deposit growth consistent with the Company’s overall profitability objectives. The FTP process considers the specific interest rate risk and liquidity risk of financial instruments, other assets, and other liabilities included in each reportable segment. Loans and deposits are assigned FTP rates, and segments are charged a cost to fund loans and are paid a credit for deposit funds provided. Consideration is given to the origination date and the earlier of the maturity date or the repricing date of a financial instrument to assign an FTP rate for loans and deposits originated each day. Overall, the FTP process reflects the transfer of interest rate risk exposure to the Treasury function included within the Corporate and Reconciling category, where such exposures are centrally managed.

(2)Other income included in the Corporate and Reconciling category that is in scope of ASC Topic 606 is comprised entirely of insignificant fee revenue from contracts with customers attributable to interLINK.
Deposit Service Fees. The deposit service fees revenue stream consists of fees earned from commercial and consumer customer deposit accounts, such as account maintenance and cash management/analysis fees, as well as other transactional service charges (i.e., insufficient funds, wire transfers, stop payment fees, etc.). Performance obligations for account maintenance services and cash management/analysis fees are satisfied on a monthly basis at a fixed transaction price, whereas performance obligations for other deposit service charges that result from various customer-initiated transactions are satisfied at a point-in-time when the service is rendered. Payment for deposit service fees is generally received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to the customers’ accounts. Certain commercial customer contracts include credit clauses, whereby the Company will grant credit upon the customer meeting pre-determined conditions, which can be used to offset fees. In addition, certain healthcare financial services contracts include revenue share clauses, whereby the Company will reduce or refund deposit service fees or make referral payments to attract and retain customers and their accounts. Such revenue share costs are recognized as a reduction to revenue in the period incurred. On occasion, the Company may also waive certain fees. Fee waivers are recognized as a reduction to revenue in the period the waiver is granted to the customer.
The deposit service fees revenue stream also includes interchange fees earned from debit and credit card transactions. The transaction price for interchange services is based on the transaction value and the interchange rate set by the card network. Performance obligations for interchange fees are satisfied at a point-in-time when the cardholders’ transaction is authorized and settled. Payment for interchange fees is generally received immediately or in the following month.
Loan and Lease Related Fees. The Company sold its factored receivables loan portfolio, which included the related customer contracts, in the third quarter of 2024. Additional information regarding the Company’s sale of its factored receivables portfolio can be found within Note 5: Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Prior to the completion of that transaction, the Company recognized factored receivables non-interest income from fees earned from accounts receivable management services. The Company factored accounts receivable, with and
without recourse, for customers whereby the Company purchased their accounts receivable at a discount and assumed the risk, as applicable, and ownership of the assets through direct cash receipt from the end consumer. Factoring services were performed in exchange for a non-refundable fee at a transaction price based on a percentage of the gross invoice amount of each receivable purchased, subject to a minimum required amount. The performance obligation for factoring services was generally satisfied at a point-in-time when the receivable was assigned to the Company. However, if the commission earned did not meet or exceed the minimum required annual amount, the difference between that and the actual amount was recognized at the end of the contract term. Other fees associated with factoring receivables included wire transfer and technology fees, field examination fees, and Uniform Commercial Code fees, where the performance obligations were satisfied at a point-in-time when the services were rendered. Payment from the customer for factoring services was generally received immediately or within the following month.
Payroll finance non-interest income consists of fees earned from performing payroll financing and business process outsourcing services, including full back-office technology and tax accounting services, along with payroll preparation, making payroll tax payments, invoice billings, and collections for independently-owned temporary staffing companies nationwide. Performance obligations for payroll finance and business processing activities are either satisfied upon completion of the support services or as payroll remittances are made on behalf of customers to fund their employee payroll, which generally occurs on a weekly basis. The agreed-upon transaction price is based on a fixed-percentage per the terms of the contract, which could be subject to a hold-back reserve to provide for any balances that are assessed to be at risk of collection. When the Company collects on amounts due from end consumers on behalf of its customers and at the time of financing payroll, the Company retains the agreed-upon transaction price payable for the performance of its services and remits an amount to the customer net of any advances and payroll tax withholdings, as applicable.
Wealth and Investment Services. Wealth and investment services consist of fees earned from asset management, trust administration, and investment advisory services, and through facilitating securities transactions. Performance obligations for asset management and trust administration services are satisfied on a monthly or quarterly basis at a transaction price based on a percentage of the period-end market value of the assets under administration. Payment for asset management and trust administration services is generally received a few days after period-end through a direct charge to the customers’ accounts. Performance obligations for investment advisory services are satisfied over the period in which the services are provided through a time-based measurement of progress, and the agreed-upon transaction price with the customer varies depending on the nature of the services performed. Performance obligations for facilitating securities transactions are satisfied at a point-in-time when the securities are sold at a transaction price that is based on a percentage of the contract value. Payment for both investment advisory services and facilitating securities transactions may be received in advance of the service, but generally is received immediately or in the following period, in arrears.
Other Income - Ametros. Other income for the Healthcare Financial Services segment primarily includes revenues recognized in connection with contracts with customers from the acquired Ametros business. The nature of such revenue primarily pertains to income earned from arranging sales of in-network products and services, which is recognized at a point in time. Under the terms of these arrangements, the Company has determined that it acts in the capacity as an agent and, therefore, records revenue on a net basis. Other income related to Ametros also includes revenues earned from providing post-settlement medical management and compliance services, which are recognized over time.
The Company evaluates its contracts with Ametros customers for material rights, or options, to acquire additional goods or services for free or at a discount. The contracts for post-settlement medical management and compliance services contain renewal options that represent a material right, which is recognized as a separate performance obligation at the inception of the arrangement. The Company allocates the transaction price to material rights using the practical alternative, which allocates the transaction price to the services expected to be provided and the corresponding expected consideration. Material rights are recognized at the time the service is transferred or when the option expires.
In addition, a fixed, non-refundable fee that represents an advance payment for access to future services is initially deferred and subsequently amortized into other income ratably over the estimated life expectancy of the member. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of such deferred revenue was recognized in Other income.
Contract Balances and Deferred Costs
Contracts with customers generated accounts receivable, deferred costs, and deferred revenue of $3.0 million, $3.8 million, and $23.3 million, respectively, at March 31, 2025, and $2.7 million, $3.0 million and $22.8 million, respectively at
December 31, 2024. All of these balances pertain to contracts with customers from the acquired Ametros business.
Note 17: Commitments and Contingencies
Credit-Related Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company offers financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk.
The following table summarizes the outstanding amounts of credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk: | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands) | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 11,951,465 | | | $ | 11,630,765 | |
Standby letters of credit | 582,193 | | | 578,912 | |
Commercial letters of credit | 38,658 | | | 28,287 | |
Total credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk | $ | 12,572,316 | | | $ | 12,237,964 | |
The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to its customers (i.e., revolving credit arrangements, term loan commitments, and short-term borrowing agreements), generally with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and that require payment of a fee. Substantially all of the Company’s commitments to extend credit are contingent upon its customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding, and are often secured by real estate collateral. Since the majority of the Company’s commitments typically expire without being funded, the total contractual amount does not necessarily represent the Company’s future payment requirements.
Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee its customers’ performance to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of its agreement with a third-party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The contractual amount of each standby letter of credit represents the maximum amount of potential future payments the Company could be required to make. Historically, the majority of the Company’s standby letters of credit expire without being funded. However, if the commitment were funded, the Company has recourse against the customer. The Company’s standby letter of credit agreements are often secured by cash or other collateral.
Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance either domestic or foreign customer trade arrangements. As a general rule, drafts are committed to be drawn when the goods underlying the transaction are in transit. Similar to standby letters of credit, the Company’s commercial letter of credit agreements are often secured by the underlying goods subject to trade.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments
An ACL is recorded under the CECL methodology to provide for the unused portion of commitments to lend that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the ACL on unfunded loan commitments was $21.4 million and $22.6 million, respectively.Litigation The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and unasserted claims and assessments in the ordinary course of business. Legal contingencies are evaluated based on information currently available, including advice of counsel and assessment of available insurance coverage. The Company establishes an accrual for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Once established, each accrual is adjusted to reflect any subsequent developments. Legal contingencies are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings may occur that could cause the Company to either adjust its litigation accrual or incur actual losses that exceed the current estimate, which ultimately could have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on its business, financial condition, or operating results. The Company will consider settlement of cases when it is in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders. The Company intends to defend itself in all claims asserted against it, and management currently believes that the outcome of these contingencies will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company or its consolidated financial position.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Special Assessment
On November 29, 2023, the FDIC published a final rule implementing a special assessment for certain banks to recover losses incurred by protecting uninsured depositors of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank upon their failure in March 2023. The special assessment is to be collected for an anticipated total of ten quarterly assessment periods, which began during the second quarter of 2024. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s remaining accrual for its estimated special assessment charge was $33.9 million and $39.8 million, respectively. The FDIC retains the right to cease collection early, extend the special assessment collection period, and impose shortfall special assessments if actual losses exceed the amounts collected. The Company continues to monitor the estimated loss attributable to the protection of uninsured depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which could impact the amount of its accrued liability.
Note 18: Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying Notes thereto, through the date of issuance, and determined that, except for the increase to the Company’s common stock repurchase authority under its existing share repurchase plan, as discussed in Note 8: Stockholders’ Equity, and the settlement of a contingent consideration obligation, as discussed in Note 14: Fair Value Measurements, no other significant events were identified requiring recognition or disclosure.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk can be found in Part I within Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1. Financial Statements, and under the section captioned “Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk” contained in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Because of its inherent limitations, management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
