Old National Bancorp reported third quarter 2025 net income applicable to common shares of $178.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share.
Included in third quarter results were pre-tax charges of $69.3 million for merger-related expenses. Excluding these items and realized debt securities losses from the current quarter, adjusted net income1 was $231.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share.
DEPOSITS AND FUNDING
Growth in core deposits driven by growth from both existing and new commercial clients.

- On average, total deposits for the third quarter were $54.9 billion, up $5.1 billion.
- Granular low-cost deposit franchise; total deposit costs of 197 bps, up 4 bps.
- A loan to deposit ratio of 87%, combined with existing funding sources, provides strong liquidity.

- Period-end total loans3 were $48.0 billion, up 0.6% annualized.
- Excluding loans3 acquired in the Bremer transaction, period-end total loans were up 3.1% annualized.

- Average total loans in the third quarter were $48.2 billion, an increase of $4.1 billion.
CREDIT QUALITY
Resilient credit quality continues to be a hallmark of Old National.
- Provision4 expense was $26.7 million compared to $106.8 million, or $31.2 million excluding $75.6 million of current expected credit loss ("CECL") Day 1 non-PCD provision expense related to the allowance for credit losses established on acquired non-PCD loans (including unfunded loan commitments) in the Bremer transaction in the second quarter of 2025.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN
Higher reflective of larger balance sheet and higher asset yields.
- Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis1 increased to $582.6 million compared to $521.9 million, driven by the full quarter impact of Bremer, higher asset yields and more days in the quarter, partly offset by higher funding costs.
- Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis1 increased 11 bps to 3.64%.
- Cost of total deposits was 1.97%, increasing 4 bps and the cost of total interest-bearing deposits increased 5 bps to 2.57%.

Increase driven by full quarter impact of Bremer, organic growth and record capital markets revenue.
- Total noninterest income was $130.5 million compared to $132.5 million, or $111.6 million excluding a $21.0 million pre-tax gain associated with the freezing of benefits of the Bremer pension plan in the second quarter of 2025.
- Excluding the pension plan gain in the second quarter of 2025 and realized debt securities losses, noninterest income was up 16.9% driven by the full quarter impact of Bremer, organic growth and record capital markets revenue.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Higher reflective of the full quarter impact of Bremer, disciplined expense management drives adjusted efficiency ratio lower.
- Noninterest expense was $445.7 million and included $69.3 million of merger-related charges.
- Excluding merger-related charges, adjusted noninterest expense1 was $376.5 million, compared to $343.6 million, driven by the full quarter impact of Bremer.

- The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was impacted by the Bremer transaction.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company's operating performance. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables at the end of this release.
The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and net income applicable to common shares, all adjusted for certain notable items. These items include merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense, a pension plan gain, debt securities gains/losses, separation expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, and FDIC special assessment expense. Management believes excluding these items from EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since these items do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding merger-related charges from these metrics may be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these items from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
Income tax expense, provision for credit losses, and the certain notable items listed above are excluded from the calculation of pre-provision net revenues, adjusted due to the fluctuation in income before income tax and the level of provision for credit losses required. Management believes adjusted pre-provision net revenues may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operating performance and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.
The Company presents adjusted noninterest expense, which excludes merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, separation expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, and FDIC special assessment expense, as well as adjusted noninterest income, which excludes a pension plan gain and debt securities gains/losses. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest expense and noninterest income may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance as these items either do not pertain to its core business operations or their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.
The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.
Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the following reconciliations in the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.
