Diluted earnings per share of $1.22 vs. $1.25 in 4Q24
Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.45 vs. $1.25 in 4Q24
Surrender of $220 million of lower-yielding BOLI policies reduced 4Q25 diluted EPS by $0.10
COLUMBUS, Ga., Jan. 21, 2026 - Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (NYSE: PNFP) today reported financial results for Synovus Financial Corp. ("Synovus" or "legacy Synovus") for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2025.
“Pinnacle and Synovus both delivered strong results in 2025, demonstrating our commitment to growth amid the pending merger”, said Pinnacle President and CEO Kevin Blair. “Legacy Pinnacle grew diluted EPS by 35% and adjusted diluted EPS by 22%, while legacy Synovus achieved increases of 76% and 28%, respectively. These outcomes reflect our team’s engagement, client focus and dedication to delivering value for shareholders. This momentum positions us for continued success in 2026 and strengthens our capacity to unify both organizations, building on similar legacies and shared values. Both firms prioritize client service, with legacy Pinnacle earning the No. 1 Net Promoter Score in our footprint and legacy Synovus earning No. 3. Pinnacle’s proven operating model remains the foundation of our growth, while Synovus brings extensive expertise, broad reach and operational excellence. Together, we’ll build a bank that combines scale with a clear purpose.”
Pinnacle and Synovus Merger
The merger of Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (which we may refer to as “legacy Pinnacle”) and Synovus closed on Jan. 1, 2026. The combination creates one of the leading regional banks in the industry, positioned for accelerated growth by marrying the cultures of both banks with Pinnacle’s proven recruiting model and incentive structures and Synovus’ deep talent and capabilities. Integration teams have been working closely together to build the blueprint for Pinnacle’s future. While bankers continue to serve clients and recruit top talent with little to no disruption, others will work behind the scenes to execute as seamless an integration effort as possible. Systems and brand conversions are expected in March 2027. Throughout, the primary goal will be to enhance our client’s experience.
Synovus Financial Performance - Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights
•EPS was $1.22 per diluted share, down 8% sequentially, and down 2% from the fourth quarter 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter 2025 was $1.45, essentially stable from the third quarter 2025, and up 16% year over year.
•Synovus surrendered $220 million of lower-yielding bank-owned life insurance policies, with the proceeds expected to be redeployed into high quality liquid assets at higher yields. This action reduced fourth quarter 2025 diluted EPS by $14.2 million, or $0.10 per share.
•Pre-provision net revenue of $280.1 million increased $13.4 million, or 5%, sequentially and was up $8.8 million, or 3%, compared to the fourth quarter 2024.

•Net interest income rose $9.9 million, or 2%, compared to the prior quarter and was up $29.6 million, or 7%, compared to the fourth quarter 2024. The net interest margin expanded 4 basis points from the third quarter 2025, supported by various factors including continued fixed asset rate repricing and the funding benefits of core deposit growth.
•Period-end loans rose $872.4 million, or 2%, from the third quarter 2025, driven by growth in middle market, corporate and investment banking and specialty lending. Core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, increased $894.8 million, or 2%, sequentially. Total deposits ended the quarter at $51.32 billion, an increase of $1.32 billion or 3% sequentially, as a result of a focus on deposit production and public funds and middle market account seasonality.
•Non-interest revenue of $145.1 million rose 3% from the third quarter 2025 and increased $19.5 million, or 16%, compared to the fourth quarter 2024. Adjusted non-interest revenue of $144.3 million grew $7.9 million, or 6%, sequentially and rose $19.6 million, or 16%, compared to the fourth quarter 2024. Core banking fees, capital markets revenue and wealth income drove sequential and year-over-year growth.
•Non-interest expense of $349.6 million remained relatively stable, only increasing by $865 thousand sequentially. Adjusted non-interest expense rose 2% from the third quarter to $326.0 million. Compared to fourth quarter 2024, non-interest expense increased 13%, and adjusted non-interest expense rose 5%. Sequential non-interest expense growth was impacted by an increase in incentives and charitable donations which more than offset a FDIC special assessment reversal.
•Credit quality remains healthy. The non-performing loan ratio was 0.57%, the annualized net charge-off ratio for the fourth quarter 2025 was 0.22%, and total past dues were 0.14% of total loans outstanding. Provision for credit losses was $33.0 million, up $11.3 million sequentially and relatively stable compared to $32.9 million in the fourth quarter 2024. The allowance for credit losses ratio (to loans) of 1.19% was stable compared to the third quarter 2025.
•The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio 1 increased 6 basis points from the third quarter to 11.28%, as Synovus prepared the balance sheet for the merger with Pinnacle, which closed on January 1, 2026.
Synovus Financial Performance - 2025 Highlights
•Net income available to common shareholders for 2025 was $746.7 million, or $5.33 per diluted share, compared to $439.6 million, or $3.03 per diluted share in 2024. Adjusted EPS was $5.69 per diluted share compared to $4.43 per diluted share in 2024. Growth was primary attributable to higher revenue and lower provision for credit losses.
•Pre-provision net revenue was $1.09 billion in 2025 compared to $741.6 million in 2024, largely due to growth in net interest income and non-interest revenue.
•Net interest income was $1.87 billion in 2025, up from $1.75 billion in the prior year as a result of earning asset growth and net interest margin expansion.
•Period-end loans increased $2.02 billion, or 5%, in 2025, primarily from growth in specialty and corporate and investment banking lending. Period-end deposits were relatively stable, increasing by $228.6 million, driven by growth in brokered, money market, and interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by lower time deposits. Net interest margin expansion was primarily a result of deposit cost improvement.
•Non-interest revenue was $536.4 million, up 124% from 2024, primarily due to a $256.7 million securities loss in the second quarter 2024. Adjusted non-interest revenue of $528.8 million grew 8% in 2025, largely driven by treasury management fees, capital markets income and wealth revenue.
•Non-interest expense was $1.32 billion in 2025, up 6% from 2024, impacted primarily by merger expense, headcount additions, merit increases, and higher incentives, partially offset by reversals related to the FDIC special assessment, while adjusted non-interest expense increased 3% year over year to $1.27 billion.
•Credit quality remains healthy. Net charge-offs were 0.18% of average loans compared to 0.31% in 2024. The provision for credit losses declined to $68.9 million in 2025 compared to $136.7 million in the prior year. The allowance for credit losses ratio (to loans) ended the year at 1.19% compared to 1.27% at the end of 2024.
•The year-end Common Equity Tier 1 ratio 1 increased 44 basis points year over year to 11.28%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The measures entitled adjusted net income available to common shareholders; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted non-interest revenue, adjusted non-interest expense; adjusted revenue taxable equivalent (TE); adjusted tangible efficiency ratio; adjusted pre-provision net revenue (PPNR); adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average common equity; return on average tangible common equity; adjusted return on average tangible common equity; tangible common equity ratio; and tangible book value per common share are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are net income available to common shareholders; diluted earnings per share; total non-interest revenue; total non-interest expense; total revenue; efficiency ratio-TE; PPNR; return on average assets; return on average common equity; the ratio of total Synovus Financial Corp. shareholders' equity to total assets; and book value per common share, 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 net income available to common shareholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, and adjusted return on average common equity 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. 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. 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. Adjusted PPNR is used by management to evaluate PPNR exclusive of items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations and impact period-to-period comparisons. The tangible common equity ratio is used by stakeholders to assess our capital position. Tangible book value per common share is used by stakeholders to assess our financial stability and value. The computations of these measures are set forth in the tables below.
