SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (NYSE:CFR) today reported third quarter 2025 results. Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 was $172.7 million compared to $144.8 million for the third quarter of 2024. On a per-share basis, net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.67 per diluted common share, compared to $2.24 per diluted common share reported a year earlier. Returns on average assets and average common equity were 1.32 percent and 16.72 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 1.16 percent and 15.48 percent, respectively, for the same period a year earlier.
For the third quarter of 2025, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $463.7 million, up 9.1 percent compared to the same quarter in 2024. Average loans for the third quarter of 2025 increased $1.4 billion, or 6.8 percent, to $21.5 billion, from the $20.1 billion reported for the third quarter a year earlier, and increased $389.2 million, or 1.8 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025. Average deposits for the third quarter increased $1.3 billion, or 3.3 percent, to $42.1 billion, compared to the $40.7 billion reported for last year's third quarter, and increased $310.9 million, or 0.7 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2025.
"In the third quarter, our business saw continued steady loan growth as well as the beginning of our usual seasonal strength in deposit flows in the back half of the year. We remained as laser-focused as ever on pursuing our strategy of opening new locations, extending the Frost experience to more families and businesses, and continuing to deliver top-quality digital banking tools along with an empathetic customer experience," said Cullen/Frost Chairman and CEO Phil Green.
"Year-to-date, we have had strong financial performance across the board, with net interest income up eight percent and fee income up nine percent, average loans up eight percent and average deposits up three percent. We continue to build momentum in our newer markets, and we are well-positioned to continue to deliver above-market organic growth in any interest rate environment."
For the first nine months of 2025, net income available to common shareholders was $477.3 million, up 12.9 percent, compared to $422.7 million for the first nine months of 2024. Diluted EPS available to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2025 was $7.36 compared to $6.51 in the year-earlier period. Returns on average assets and average common equity for the first nine months of 2025 were 1.24 percent and 15.98 percent, respectively, compared to 1.15 percent and 15.90 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2024.
Noted financial data for the third quarter of 2025 follows:
- The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at the end of the third quarter of 2025 were 14.14 percent, 14.59 percent and 16.04 percent, respectively, and continue to be in excess of well-capitalized levels and exceed Basel III minimum requirements.
- Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $463.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 9.1 percent, compared to $425.2 million for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.69 percent for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 3.56 percent for the third quarter of 2024 and 3.67 percent for the second quarter of 2025.
- Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $125.6 million, an increase of $11.9 million, or 10.5 percent, from the $113.7 million reported for the third quarter of 2024. Trust and investment management fees increased $3.8 million, or 9.3 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in trust and investment management fees during the third quarter was primarily related to increases in investment management fees (up $2.9 million) and estate fees (up $634,000). Investment management fees are generally based on the market value of assets within customer accounts and are thus impacted by price movements in the equity and bond markets. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $4.0 million, or 14.7 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. Other non-interest income increased $1.7 million, or 14.4 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase during the third quarter was primarily related to increases in sundry and other miscellaneous income (up $1.6 million) and public finance underwriting fees (up $1.0 million), partly offset by decreases in gains on the sale of foreclosed and other assets (down $473,000), among other things. Other charges, commissions, and fees increased $1.7 million, or 12.8 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. Items that contributed to the increase included increases in income from the placement of annuities (up $470,000), letter of credit fees (up $441,000), and income from the placement of mutual funds (up $301,000), among other things.
- Non-interest expense was $352.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, up $29.1 million, or 9.0 percent, compared to the $323.4 million reported for the third quarter a year earlier. Salaries and wages expense increased $12.5 million, or 8.0 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily related to increases in salaries due to annual merit and market increases and to an increase in the number of employees. The increase in the number of employees was partly related to our investment in organic expansion in various markets. Employee benefits expense increased by $5.4 million, or 18.6 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in employee benefits expense was primarily related to increases in medical/dental benefits expense (up $3.7 million), 401(k) plan expense (up $1.4 million), and payroll taxes (up $350,000). Technology, furniture, and equipment expense increased $5.7 million, or 15.1 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily related to increased cloud services expense (up $3.5 million), software maintenance (up $1.9 million), and depreciation on furniture and equipment (up $840,000). Other non-interest expense increased $4.2 million, or 6.9 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase included increases in fraud losses (up $2.8 million), advertising/promotions expense (up $516,000), research and platform fees (up $511,000), outside computer services expense (up $381,000), and donations expense (up $362,000), among other things.
- For the third quarter of 2025, the company reported a credit loss expense of $6.8 million, and reported net loan charge-offs of $6.6 million. This compares to a credit loss expense of $13.1 million and net charge-offs of $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 and a credit loss expense of $19.4 million and net charge-offs of $9.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.31 percent at September 30, 2025, compared to 1.31 percent at June 30, 2025 and 1.31 percent at September 30, 2024. Non-accrual loans were $44.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025, compared to $62.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025 and $104.9 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024.
