Brant Standridge, President of Consumer and Regional Banking, and Zach Wasserman, Chief Financial Officer, are scheduled to present.

Guidance includes a 4Q26 exit-rate efficiency ratio of about 56% (adjusted below 55%) and a clear glide path to $1.90 to $1.93a EPS in 2027.

It lists expense synergies of $365 millionb run-rate by 4Q26 for CADE and $70 million run-rate by 2Q26 for VBTX, and revenue synergies of $300 million or more run-rate by 2028.
FY25 GAAP diluted EPS was $1.39c and adjusted EPS was $1.45, with FY25 ROTCE of 15.7% (16.4% adjusted). Management highlights share repurchases and tangible book value accretion as capital return priorities.
