First quarter 2026 results include Transaction expenses, strategic restructuring costs, and a benefit related to the FDIC special assessment. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings per diluted share would have been $1.571 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
On February 3, 2026, Webster entered into a transaction agreement with Banco Santander, S.A. (“Banco Santander”), under which Banco Santander will acquire Webster in a cash and stock transaction (the “Transaction”).
“Webster’s financial results reflect our colleagues’ commitment to execution amidst a dynamic economic environment,” said John R. Ciulla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our proposed transaction with Banco Santander will enhance our ability to support our clients and the communities we serve, while unlocking new opportunities for growth. We are making significant progress planning for the integration of two highly complementary banking organizations.”

Revenue2 of $735.9 million Period end loans and leases balance of $57.2 billion, up $0.7 billion, or 1.2 percent from prior quarter Period end deposits balance of $69.0 billion, up $0.3 billion, or 0.4 percent, from prior quarter. Provision for credit losses of $54.0 million Return on average assets of 1.16 percent Return on average tangible common equity of 16.18 percent1 Net interest margin of 3.36 percent, up 1 basis point from prior quarter Common equity tier 1 ratio of 11.42 percent3 Efficiency ratio of 46.83 percent1 Tangible common equity ratio of 7.39 percent1 “Webster’s distinctive franchise continues to produce strong profitability, capital generation, and growth,” said Neal Holland, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Loans, deposits, and tangible book value per share exhibited solid growth both linked-quarter and year-over-year.”
Under the terms of the transaction agreement, Webster’s common stockholders will receive $48.75 in cash and 2.0548 Banco Santander ordinary shares, which will be delivered in the form of American Depository Receipts, for each Webster share. The completion of the Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of Webster stockholder approval and required regulatory approvals, and is anticipated to close in the second half of 2026. In light of the proposed Transaction with Banco Santander, Webster will no longer provide a forward-looking financial outlook.

Net interest income was $634.4 million, compared to $612.2 million. Net interest margin was 3.36 percent, compared to 3.48 percent. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 26 basis points, and the cost of deposits and interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 18 basis points. Average interest-earning assets totaled $78.3 billion, an increase of $5.5 billion, or 7.5 percent. Average loans and leases totaled $57.1 billion, an increase of $4.5 billion, or 8.6 percent. Average deposits totaled $69.5 billion, an increase of $4.5 billion, or 7.0 percent. Quarterly provision for credit losses:

Net charge-offs were $41.2 million, compared to $49.5 million in the prior quarter, and $55.0 million a year ago. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases was 0.29 percent, compared to 0.35 percent in the prior quarter, and 0.42 percent a year ago. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 1.28 percent of total loans and leases, compared to 1.27 percent at December 31, 2025, and 1.34 percent at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represented 140 percent of non-performing loans and leases, compared to 144 percent at December 31, 2025, and 126 percent at March 31, 2025. Quarterly non-interest income compared to the first quarter of 2025:
Total non-interest income was $101.5 million, compared to $92.6 million, an increase of $8.9 million. The increase is primarily driven by increased client hedging activities, the change in the credit valuation adjustment, increased revenues from Ametros, higher deposit service fees, and the acquisition of SecureSave, partially offset by lower loan prepayment and syndication fees.

Total non-interest expense was $379.1 million, compared to $343.6 million, an increase of $35.5 million.

Quarterly income taxes compared to the first quarter of 2025:
Income tax expense was $56.5 million, compared to $56.7 million, and the effective tax rate was 18.7 percent, compared to 20.0 percent.

Past due loans and leases were $148.8 million, compared to $66.5 million at December 31, 2025, and $87.2 million at March 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including the efficiency ratio, the return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, the tangible equity ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, tangible book value per common share, core deposits, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity, adjusted pre-tax net income, adjusted net income applicable to common stockholders, and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the accompanying selected financial highlights table.
Webster believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information useful in understanding its financial position, results of operations, the strength of its capital position, and overall business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by Webster 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. Webster believes that this presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides investors with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting its business and allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to management.
The efficiency ratio represents the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue and is calculated excluding certain non-operational items and certain non-recurring transactions or events. The return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated using net income less preferred stock dividends, adjusted for the tax-effected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average stockholders’ equity less average preferred stock and average goodwill and other intangible assets. The tangible equity ratio represents stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets (“tangible stockholders’ equity”) divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets (“tangible assets”). The tangible common equity ratio represents stockholders’ equity less preferred stock and goodwill and other intangible assets (“tangible common stockholders’ equity”) divided by tangible assets. Tangible book value per common share represents tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Core deposits reflect total deposits less certificates of deposit and brokered certificates of deposit. The adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity, adjusted pre-tax net income, adjusted net income applicable to common stockholders, and adjusted diluted EPS are calculated excluding certain non-recurring transactions or events, which have been tax-effected, as applicable.
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. Webster strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.
