Synovus announces earnings for second quarter 2025

Company Release - 7/16/2025

Diluted earnings (loss) per share of $1.48 versus $(0.16) in 2Q24

Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.48 versus $1.16 in 2Q24

Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“Synovus delivered impressive 28% year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per share in the second quarter -- an achievement driven by exceptional financial discipline, strategic execution and a steadfast commitment to operational excellence. Funded loan production surged 60% year over year, driving 8% annualized loan growth. Moreover, this quarter's positive operating leverage further strengthened our top-quartile efficiency ratio and profitability. Credit quality improved across all categories, and our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio reached the highest level in our company's history. Despite the continuing economic and global uncertainty, our performance reflects the strength of our strategy, resilience of our team and the trust of our clients. With this strong performance and conviction in our strategy, we've confidently raised our full-year 2025 earnings guidance," said Synovus Chairman, CEO and President Kevin Blair.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Net income available to common shareholders was $206.3 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, compared to $183.7 million, or $1.30, in first quarter 2025 and $(23.7) million, or $(0.16), in second quarter 2024.
  • Adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $206.4 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, compared to $184.4 million, or $1.30, in first quarter 2025 and $169.6 million, or $1.16, in second quarter 2024. Adjusted second quarter 2024 earnings per share excludes a $257 million loss on the sale of securities from a bond portfolio repositioning.
  • Pre-provision net revenue was $278.0 million, which increased 6% from first quarter 2025 but was up sharply from second quarter 2024 as a result of the $257 million securities loss in the year ago period. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue of $279.7 million increased 5% on a linked quarter basis and rose 7% year over year.
  • Net interest income grew 1% from the first quarter and $24.6 million, or 6%, compared to second quarter 2024. On a linked quarter basis, the net interest margin expanded by 2 basis points to 3.37% as a result of a decline in deposit costs, fixed-rate asset repricing, hedge maturities, lower cash balances and a stable Fed Funds environment.
  • Period-end loans increased $888.0 million, or 2%, from first quarter 2025 fueled by specialty lending, corporate and investment banking lending and commercial banking.
  • Period-end core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) were $45.2 billion, a decline of $788.4 million sequentially, which included a $405 million drop in public funds quarter over quarter. Time deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits declined, partially offset by an increase in non-interest bearing deposits. Brokered deposits declined $129.6 million from the prior quarter. Average deposit costs fell 4 basis points sequentially to 2.22%.
  • Non-interest revenue of $134.1 million increased $17.7 million, or 15%, sequentially and was up sharply compared to second quarter 2024. Adjusted non-interest revenue of $130.9 million increased $13.6 million, or 12%, sequentially and increased $3.6 million, or 3%, from second quarter 2024. The sequential increase in adjusted non-interest revenue was primarily attributable to higher core banking fees, wealth management income, capital markets income, commercial sponsorship fees and a bank-owned life insurance gain. Year-over-year growth was impacted by lower capital markets income, which was more than offset by growth in core banking fees and wealth management income.
  • Non-interest expense and adjusted non-interest expense were $315.7 million and $312.4 million, respectively. Adjusted non-interest expense increased 1% from first quarter 2025 and 3% from a year ago, primarily due to higher employment expense. Excluding the FDIC special assessment reversals in second quarter 2024 and second quarter 2025, adjusted non-interest expense rose 2% year over year.
  • The non-performing loan and asset ratios improved to 0.59% compared to 0.67% in first quarter 2025, while the net charge-off ratio for second quarter 2025 was 0.17%, down from 0.20% in the prior quarter. Total past due loans were 0.24% of total loans outstanding.
  • Provision for credit losses of $3.2 million declined 70% sequentially and fell 88% compared to $26.4 million in second quarter 2024. The allowance for credit losses ratio (to loans) of 1.18% was down from 1.24% in the prior quarter, while our reserve coverage of non-performing loans improved to 200% in second quarter 2025 from 185% in the prior quarter.
  • The preliminary Common Equity Tier 1 ratio ended first quarter 2025 at 10.91% as core earnings accretion offset the impact of approximately $21 million in common stock repurchases.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The measures entitled adjusted non-interest revenue, non-interest expense; adjusted revenue taxable equivalent (TE); adjusted tangible efficiency ratio; adjusted pre-provision net revenue (PPNR); adjusted return on average assets; adjusted net income available to common shareholders; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted return on average common equity; return on average tangible common equity; adjusted return on average tangible common equity; and tangible common equity ratio are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are total non-interest revenue; total non-interest expense; total revenue; efficiency ratio-TE; PPNR; return on average assets; net income available to common shareholders; diluted earnings per share; return on average common equity; and the ratio of total Synovus Financial Corp. shareholders' equity to total assets, respectively.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management and investors in evaluating Synovus’ operating results, financial strength, the performance of its business, and the strength of its capital position. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as additional views of the way our financial measures are affected by significant items and other factors, and since they are not required to be uniformly applied, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies. Adjusted non-interest revenue and adjusted revenue (TE) are measures used by management to evaluate non-interest revenue and total revenue exclusive of net investment securities gains (losses), fair value adjustments on non-qualified deferred compensation and other items not indicative of ongoing operations that could impact period-to-period comparisons. Adjusted non-interest expense and the adjusted tangible efficiency ratio are measures utilized by management to measure the success of expense management initiatives focused on reducing recurring controllable operating costs. Adjusted net income available to common shareholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common equity, and adjusted PPNR are measures used by management to evaluate operating results exclusive of items that are not indicative of ongoing operations and impact period-to-period comparisons. Return on average tangible common equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity are measures used by management to compare Synovus’ performance with other financial institutions because it calculates the return available to common shareholders without the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization, thereby allowing management to evaluate the performance of the business consistently. The tangible common equity ratio is used by stakeholders to assess our capital position. The computations of these measures are set forth in the tables below.
