Comments from Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun

“We are pleased to report very strong results for the third quarter, paced by excellent NII and fee growth, 3% sequential positive operating leverage, and credit results that continue to trend favorably,” said Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. “Loan and deposit growth was solid, as the Private Bank delivered strong performance. A pick-up in market activity drove our highest Capital Markets revenues since fourth quarter of 2021, with pipelines remaining strong. Our Reimagine the Bank initiative continues to take shape and will positively contribute to delivery of our medium-term targets. All in all, we feel we have good momentum and are very well-positioned for the medium-term.”

Citizens also announced today that its board of directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.46 per share, a $0.04, or 9.5%, increase compared with the prior quarter. The dividend is payable on November 12, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 29, 2025.

Third quarter 2025			vs.			second quarter 2025

Noninterest expense of $1.3 billion increased 1%.

•Salaries and employee benefits increased $24 million, reflecting hiring related to the Private Bank and Private Wealth buildout, increased medical benefit costs, and strong Capital Markets fee performance.

•Outside services decreased $8 million, primarily driven by technology and vendor-related efficiencies.

•Occupancy decreased $2 million, driven by branch optimization actions.

The effective tax rate was 21.4% in third quarter 2025 was stable with 21.4% in second quarter 2025.

Third quarter 2025			vs.			third quarter 2024

Underlying noninterest expense of $1.3 billion increased 7%.

•Salaries and employee benefits increased $62 million, reflecting hiring related to the Private Bank and Private Wealth buildout, strong Capital Markets fee performance, and increased medical benefit costs.

•Equipment and software increased $5 million, given technology investments.

•Outside services increased $17 million, largely driven by investments across the enterprise.

•Other operating expense increased $4 million, reflecting higher travel and marketing-related costs, partly offset by lower deposit insurance.

The effective tax rate was 21.4% in third quarter 2025 compared with 18.7% on an Underlying basis in third quarter 2024, primarily reflecting less benefit from tax-advantaged investments given higher income and higher state taxes.

(1) Total average interest-earning assets excludes the mark-to-market on investment securities and unsettled purchases or sales of loans and investments.

Third quarter 2025			vs.			second quarter 2025

Period-end interest-earning assets of $197.8 billion increased $4.3 billion, or 2%, reflecting a $3.0 billion increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits and $557 million increase in investments in securities. Total loans and leases increased $1.6 billion, as growth in the Private Bank, higher capital call line utilization in Commercial, and growth in home equity and mortgage in Consumer were partially offset by the runoff of Non-Core loans and commercial real estate paydowns.

Average interest-earning assets of $197.6 billion increased $1.3 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $1.2 billion increase in total loans and leases and a $798 million increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits, partly offset by a $635 million decrease in loans held for sale related to the third partial settlement of the sale of Non-Core education loans.

The average effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.6 years, compared with 3.7 years at June 30, 2025 and 3.3 years at September 30, 2024.

Third quarter 2025			vs.			third quarter 2024

Period-end interest-earning assets of $197.8 billion increased $2.4 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $2.0 billion increase in investments in securities, a $506 million increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits and a $91 million decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale. The decrease in loans and leases is driven by a $1.4 billion decrease in retail reflecting the reclassification of ~$1.9 billion of Non-Core education loans to loans held for sale in the first quarter of 2025 (“Non-Core transaction”), as well as continued Non-Core portfolio runoff, primarily in auto. This decline was partially offset by growth in home equity and mortgage, including in the Private Bank. Results also include an increase of $685 million in commercial loans reflecting higher capital call line utilization, partially offset by paydowns in commercial real estate and balance sheet optimization actions.

Average interest-earning assets of $197.6 billion increased $434 million, primarily reflecting a $1.4 billion increase in investments in securities, partially offset by a $1.1 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale.

Average deposits of $176.0 billion increased 1%, reflecting the same factors.

Third quarter 2025			vs.			third quarter 2024

Third quarter 2025			vs.			second quarter 2025

•Nonaccrual loans of $1.5 billion decreased slightly driven by a decline in C&I and commercial real estate. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio of 1.08% compares with 1.09% at June 30, 2025.

•Net charge-offs of $162 million, or 46 basis points of average loans and leases, compares with 48 basis points in the prior quarter, driven primarily by a decrease in C&I.

•The third quarter 2025 provision for credit losses of $154 million compares with $164 million for second quarter 2025. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans of 1.56% was down slightly compared with 1.59% as of June 30, 2025. The slight decrease in allowance coverage reflects the improving loan mix, given Non-Core portfolio reduction and a decrease in commercial real estate balances, offset by 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% is stable with June 30, 2025.

Third quarter 2025			vs.			third quarter 2024

•Nonaccrual loans decreased 10% given a 17% decrease in commercial real estate and a 5% decrease in retail, reflecting decreases in education, auto and other retail, partially offset by increases in residential real estate secured categories. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio of 1.08% compares with 1.19% at September 30, 2024.

•Net charge-offs of $162 million, or 46 basis points of average loans and leases compares with 54 basis points for third quarter 2024. This reflects a $13 million decrease in commercial and a $17 million decrease in retail, primarily driven by reductions in auto.

•Provision for credit losses of $154 million decreased compared with a $172 million provision in third quarter 2024 reflecting the runoff of the Non-Core portfolio and improving loan mix.

•Allowance for credit losses of $2.2 billion decreased $85 million compared with September 30, 2024 given the benefit of the Non-Core transaction, continued Non-Core runoff and other improvements in loan mix. Allowance for credit losses ratio of 1.56% as of September 30, 2025 compares with 1.61% as of September 30, 2024.

•The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans and leases ratio of 145% compares with 136% as of September 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, 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 cyberattacks; 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, balance sheet growth, 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.
