SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (NYSE:CFR) today reported third quarter 2026 results.
Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2026 was $178.5 million, compared to $172.7 million for the third quarter of 2025. On a per-share basis, net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2026 was $2.84 per diluted common share, compared to $2.67 per diluted common share reported a year earlier. Returns on average assets and average common equity were 1.31 percent and 16.16 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 1.32 percent and 16.72 percent, respectively, for the same period a year earlier.
For the third quarter of 2026, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $490.8 million, up 5.8 percent compared to the same quarter in 2025. Average loans for the third quarter of 2026 increased $1.9 billion, or 9.0 percent, to $23.4 billion, from the $21.5 billion reported for the third quarter a year earlier, and increased $756.4 million, or 3.3 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2026. Average deposits for the third quarter increased $1.5 billion, or 3.6 percent, to $43.6 billion, compared to the $42.1 billion reported for last year's third quarter, and increased $959.2 million, or 2.3 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2026.
"During the third quarter, Frost Bankers continued their outstanding execution of our organic growth strategy, and as a result, we saw another quarter of accelerating growth in average loan and deposit volumes," said Cullen/Frost Chairman and CEO, Phil Green.
"As people and businesses continue to move into Texas from other parts of the country, we see great opportunity to continue extending the Frost experience to more new Texans. That includes retail customers and businesses new to the state alike. During the third quarter we kept up a strong pace of new customer additions, growing the overall banking customer base at a five percent yearly rate. In our Wealth Management business, we grew managed customer accounts by more than five percent compared to a year ago. And our Frost Insurance Agency increased commercial customers by over ten percent compared to the third quarter of 2025.
"I want to recognize the outstanding focus and execution of our employees throughout the state as they meet the challenge of competing and winning against competitors old and new."
For the first nine months of 2026, net income available to common shareholders was $518.2 million, up 8.6 percent compared to $477.3 million for the first nine months of 2025. On a per-share basis, net income available to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2026 was $8.19, up 11.3 percent compared to $7.36 in the year-earlier period. Returns on average assets and average common equity for the first nine months of 2026 were 1.31 percent and 15.57 percent, respectively, compared to 1.24 percent and 15.98 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2025.
Noted financial data for the third quarter of 2026 follows:
- The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at the end of the third quarter of 2026 were 13.76 percent, 14.18 percent and 15.50 percent, respectively, and continue to be in excess of well-capitalized levels and exceed Basel III minimum requirements.
- During the third quarter, our base of customer households continued to grow. Total households, including consumer and commercial customers, grew by 5.4 percent from September, 2025 to September, 2026.
- Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $490.8 million for the third quarter of 2026, an increase of 5.8 percent, compared to $463.7 million for the third quarter of 2025. Net interest margin was 3.78 percent for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 3.69 percent for the third quarter of 2025 and 3.75 percent for the second quarter of 2026.
- Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $136.0 million, an increase of $10.3 million, or 8.2 percent, from the $125.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2025. Trust and investment management fees increased $4.6 million, or 10.3 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase in trust and investment management fees during the third quarter was primarily related to increases in investment management fees (up $3.6 million) and oil and gas fees (up $1.6 million). Other non-interest income increased $7.4 million, or 54.5 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase during the third quarter was primarily related to $7.6 million of gains on the sale of excess bank properties.
- Non-interest expense was $377.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, up $24.7 million, or 7.0 percent, compared to the $352.5 million reported for the third quarter a year earlier. Salaries and wages expense increased $13.0 million, or 7.7 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily related to increases in salaries due to annual merit and market increases and growth in the number of employees, driven in part by investments in organic expansion across various markets. Other non-interest expense increased $8.1 million, or 12.5 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase included increases in advertising/promotions expense (up $6.4 million). Technology, furniture, and equipment expense increased $2.7 million, or 6.1 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily related to increased cloud services expense (up $1.4 million) and software maintenance expense (up $828,000).
- For the third quarter of 2026, the company reported a credit loss expense of $12.1 million and reported net charge-offs of $8.4 million. This compares to a credit loss expense of $9.8 million and net charge-offs of $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 and a credit loss expense of $6.8 million and net charge-offs of $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.23 percent at September 30, 2026, compared to 1.23 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2026 and 1.31 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2025.

- During the third quarter, in addition to the above-mentioned $7.6 million in gains on the sale of excess bank properties, we also recognized $7.5 million in losses on sales of securities.
- During the third quarter of 2026, we repurchased 92,700 of our common shares at a total cost of $15.0 million under our board-authorized stock repurchase plan. As of the end of the third quarter, we had $125.0 million remaining under our current $300 million repurchase authorization, which expires in January 2027.

In addition, certain statements may be contained in our future filings with the SEC, in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by us or with our approval that are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, the payment or nonpayment of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; (ii) statements of plans, objectives and expectations of Cullen/Frost or its management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products, services or operations; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "targeted," "continue," "remain," "will," "should," "may," and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
- The effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the implementation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies.
- Inflation, interest rate, securities market, and monetary fluctuations.
- Local, regional, national, and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact.
- Changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers.
- Changes in the mix of loan geographies, sectors and types or the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs.
- Changes in estimates of future credit loss reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements.
- Changes in our liquidity position.
- Impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets.
- The timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users.
- Changes in consumer spending, borrowing, and saving habits.
- Greater than expected costs or difficulties related to the integration of new products and lines of business.
- Technological changes, including advances in artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
- The cost and effects of cyber incidents or other failures, interruptions, or security breaches of our systems or those of our customers or third-party providers.
- Acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses.
- Changes in the reliability of our vendors, internal control systems or information systems.
- Our ability to increase market share and control expenses.
- Our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.
- Changes in our organization, compensation, and benefit plans.
- The soundness of other financial institutions.
- Volatility and disruption in national and international financial and commodity markets.
- Changes in the competitive environment in our markets and among banking organizations and other financial service providers.
- Government intervention in the U.S. financial system.
- Political or economic instability.
- Acts of God or of war or terrorism.
- The potential impact of climate change.
- The impact of pandemics, epidemics, or any other health-related crisis.
- The costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, the results of regulatory examinations or reviews and the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals.
- The effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance) and their application with which we and our subsidiaries must comply.
- The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.
- Our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items.
In addition, ongoing geopolitical tensions, armed conflicts, regional instability, sanctions, cyber-related threats, and attacks affecting commercial shipping and critical infrastructure have increased geopolitical uncertainty and contributed to volatility in financial, energy, and commodity markets. Military conflict in the Middle East has disrupted energy markets and shipping routes, including through the Strait of Hormuz, while the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and other geopolitical tensions continue to present risks to global economic and market conditions. Further escalation, including disruptions to shipping routes, energy supplies, critical infrastructure, or global supply chains, or expanded sanctions, trade restrictions, or cyber-related incidents, could adversely affect economic activity, inflation, market conditions, and borrower credit quality. These developments could also adversely affect our funding profile, liquidity, customer and counterparty credit quality, and the value of certain financial instruments and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The timing, magnitude, duration, and geographic scope of these developments remain highly uncertain.
Furthermore, financial markets, international relations, and global supply chains continue to be affected by evolving trade policies and related legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, invalidating tariffs previously imposed under that authority. The U.S. government subsequently implemented additional tariff measures under other statutory authorities, certain of which remain subject to legal challenges. Uncertainty regarding U.S. trade policy and the economic effects of tariffs and other trade restrictions could affect business confidence, capital investment, customer cash flows, supply chains, commodity prices, inflation, and market volatility. These developments could adversely affect the financial condition and operating performance of customers, particularly those in trade-sensitive industries, and increase our exposure to credit, market, liquidity, operational, compliance, and reputational risks. If these developments adversely affect borrower credit quality, market stability, or broader economic conditions, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
