Comments from Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun

“We are pleased to report strong results today that came in ahead of expectations, paced by strong NII and fee growth, disciplined expense management, and credit results that are trending favorably,” said Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. “We saw some sizable M&A advisory fees push out to July, but offset that with strong performance across other fee categories. Our key strategic initiatives, paced by the Private Bank/Private Wealth build out, continue to make good progress, and we have commenced work on a broad ‘Reimagining the Bank’ initiative that will become a multi-year TOP program and drive meaningful benefits from using new technologies to serve customers in new ways and run the bank better. We are well-positioned to have a strong second half of the year and to sustain that momentum into the medium-term.”

Citizens also announced today that its board of directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.42 per share. The dividend is payable on August 14, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2025.

Notable items:

There are no notable items in second quarter 2025 or first quarter 2025, as our intention going forward is to limit these to those items of greatest significance. Second quarter 2024 results reflect notable items primarily related to integration costs associated with recent acquisitions, as well as TOP revenue and efficiency initiatives and a notable item for an industry-wide FDIC special assessment. These notable items were excluded from reported results to better reflect Underlying operating results.

Second quarter 2025			vs.			first quarter 2025

Period-end interest-earning assets of $193.4 billion decreased 1%, reflecting a $3.0 billion decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits and $355 million increase in investments in securities. Total loans and leases increased $1.7 billion, as growth in the Private Bank, higher line utilization and net new business in Commercial, and growth in mortgage and home equity in Consumer, were partially offset by the runoff of Non-Core loans and commercial real estate paydowns.

Average interest-earning assets of $196.3 billion increased $1.3 billion, reflecting a $469 million increase in investments and $125 million increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits. Average total loans and leases decreased $901 million, reflecting the reclassification of ~$1.9 billion of Non-Core education loans (“Non-Core transaction”) to loans held for sale near the end of the first quarter. Excluding this transaction, there was growth in the Private Bank and Commercial, as well as in mortgage and home equity, partially offset by continued run-off of Non-Core loans and commercial real estate paydowns.

The average effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.7 years, compared with 3.6 years at March 31, 2025 and 3.7 years at June 30, 2024.

Second quarter 2025			vs.			second quarter 2024

Period-end interest-earning assets of $193.4 billion decreased 1%, reflecting a $3.0 billion decrease in investments in cash held in interest-bearing deposits and a $1.1 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale, partially offset by a $2.2 billion increase in investments in securities. The decrease in loans and leases is driven by a $2.2 billion decrease in retail reflecting continued Non-Core portfolio runoff and the Non-Core transaction, partially offset by growth in home equity and mortgage, including in the Private Bank. Results also include a decrease in Commercial loans of $292 million reflecting paydowns in commercial real estate and C&I balance sheet optimization actions, partially offset by higher line utilization.

Average interest-earning assets of $196.3 billion decreased $2.1 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $2.6 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale and a $1.4 billion decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $1.8 billion increase in investments in securities.

Second quarter 2025			vs.			first quarter 2025

Total period-end deposits of $175.1 billion are down 1%, largely reflecting a $2.7 billion decline in higher-cost Treasury brokered and retail time deposits, partially offset by growth in Commercial non-interest bearing demand and checking with interest.

Average deposits of $174.1 billion increased 1%, driven by growth in retail and Private bank lower-cost categories, partially offset by a reduction in higher-cost Treasury brokered and retail time deposits.

Second quarter 2025			vs.			second quarter 2024

Total period-end deposits of $175.1 billion decreased 1%, as growth in the Private Bank of $4.7 billion and an increase in Consumer deposits was more than offset by a reduction in higher-cost Treasury brokered deposits and slightly lower Commercial balances.

Average deposits of $174.1 billion were up slightly.

Second quarter 2025			vs.			first quarter 2025

•Nonaccrual loans of $1.5 billion decreased $58 million, or 4%, primarily driven by a decline in C&I, other retail and continued runoff of the Non-Core auto portfolio. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio of 1.09% decreased from 1.15% at March 31, 2025.

•Net charge-offs of $167 million, or 48 basis points of average loans and leases, compares with 58 basis points in the prior quarter which included a $25 million, or 7 basis point impact from the Non-Core transaction (an agreement entered into in the first quarter to sell ~$1.9 billion of Non-Core education loans). Excluding the impact of this transaction, net charge-offs for first quarter 2025 were 51 basis points. Commercial net charge-offs are up modestly, given an increase in C&I. Retail net charge-offs declined by $44 million compared with first quarter 2025 which included the recognition of a $25 million charge-off associated with the Non-Core transaction.

•The second quarter 2025 provision for credit losses of $164 million compares with $153 million for first quarter 2025. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans of 1.59% was down slightly compared with 1.61% as of March 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily driven by improving loan mix, reflecting the Non-Core portfolio reduction, declining commercial real estate, and originations in retail real estate secured and commercial categories that have a lower loss content profile.

•The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans and leases ratio of 145% compares with 140% as of March 31, 2025.

Second quarter 2025			vs.			second quarter 2024

•Nonaccrual loans were broadly stable across commercial and retail. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio of 1.09% compares with 1.08% at June 30, 2024.

•Net charge-offs of $167 million, or 48 basis points of average loans and leases compares with 52 basis points for second quarter 2024. This reflects a $4 million decrease in commercial, and a $13 million decrease in retail primarily driven by a reduction in education tied to the Non-Core transaction.

•Provision for credit losses of $164 million decreased compared with a $182 million provision in second quarter 2024 reflecting the runoff of the Non-Core portfolio and improving loan mix.

•Allowance for credit losses of $2.2 billion decreased $97 million compared with June 30, 2024 given the benefit of Non-Core runoff, the Non-Core transaction and other improvements in loan mix. Allowance for credit losses ratio of 1.59% as of June 30, 2025, compares with 1.63% as of June 30, 2024.

•The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans and leases ratio of 145% compares with 151% as of June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures, with those denoted as Underlying for any given reporting period excluding certain items that may occur in that period which management does not consider indicative of the Company’s on-going financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe those measures denoted as Underlying in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance in that period and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. See the following pages for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “targets,” “initiatives,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook,” “guidance” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “likely”, “should,” “would,” and “could.”

Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management, and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:

•Negative economic, business and political conditions, including as a result of the interest rate environment, supply chain disruptions, tariffs, inflationary pressures and labor shortages, that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits;

•The general state of the economy and employment, as well as general business and economic conditions, and changes in the competitive environment;

•Our capital and liquidity requirements under regulatory standards and our ability to generate capital and liquidity on favorable terms;

•The effect of changes in our credit ratings on our cost of funding, access to capital markets, ability to market our securities, and overall liquidity position;

•The effect of changes in the level of commercial and consumer deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;

•Our ability to execute on our strategic business initiatives and achieve our financial performance goals across our Consumer and Commercial businesses, including our Private Bank;

•The effects of geopolitical instability, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, on economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures and the interest rate environment, commodity price and foreign exchange rate volatility, and heightened cybersecurity risks;

•Our ability to comply with heightened supervisory requirements and expectations as well as new or amended regulations;

•Liabilities and business restrictions resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations;

•The effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale;

•Changes in interest rates and market liquidity, as well as the magnitude of such changes, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets;

•Financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses;

•Environmental risks, such as physical or transition risks associated with climate change, and social and governance risks, that could adversely affect our reputation, operations, business, and customers;

•A failure in or breach of our compliance with laws, as well as operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks; and

•Management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.

In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the actual amounts and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions, and regulatory considerations, as well as any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares from or pay any dividends to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or dividends.

More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note: Per share amounts and ratios presented in this document are calculated using whole dollars.
