$2 billion in total revenue reflects 12 percent year-over-year growth.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:RF) today reported earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The company reported second quarter net income available to common shareholders of $556 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.59. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, total revenue increased 12 percent to $2 billion on both a reported and adjusted basis(1) driven by growth in net interest income. Strong revenue growth contributed to a 6 percent increase in pre-tax pre-provision income(1) on a reported basis and 7 percent on an adjusted basis(1) compared to the second quarter of 2022.
“We are very pleased with our second quarter performance,” said John Turner, President and CEO of Regions Financial Corp. “Our associates continue to execute our strategy and deliver excellent customer service, creating consistent, sustainable, long-term performance. This quarter, we were excited to announce the addition of Regions’ Overdraft Grace feature, which complements the other enhancements we’ve introduced over the last two years and provides customers with more financial tools and flexibility. Reflecting the growth in our business, and underscoring our focus on capital allocation and sustainable shareholder returns, we are also pleased that our Board of Directors raised the quarterly common stock dividend by 20 percent to $0.24 per share at its most recent meeting. I am very proud of the work our associates have done and believe we are well-positioned to deliver solid financial performance in any environment.”

* These market value adjustments relate to assets held for employee and director benefits that are offset within salaries and employee benefits and other non-interest expense. |
Total revenue of approximately $2 billion remained relatively stable on both a reported and adjusted basis(1) compared to the first quarter of 2023. Consistent with the company’s expectations, net interest income decreased during the quarter to $1.4 billion or 3 percent compared to the first quarter attributable to accelerating deposit and funding costs partially offset by higher market interest rates and the company’s asset sensitive balance sheet. Total net interest margin decreased 18 basis points to 4.04 percent.
Non-interest income increased 8 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis(1) compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily driven by increases in capital markets income and card and ATM fees. The increase in capital markets income was driven primarily by improvement in CVA/DVA valuation adjustments. Excluding the impact of CVA/DVA, capital markets income increased 3 percent as growth, primarily in real estate capital markets, was partially offset by declines in mergers and acquisitions, debt underwriting and loan syndication income. Card & ATM fees increased 7 percent driven primarily by seasonally higher transaction and spend volumes, as well as a card rewards liability adjustment in the prior quarter that did not repeat.

Non-interest expense increased 8 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis(1) compared to the first quarter of 2023. Commensurate with trends experienced by banks across the industry, the increase in operational losses was attributable to a spike in check fraud. Importantly, the company has effective countermeasures in place, and losses have returned to normalized levels. Excluding the incremental increase in operational losses, non-interest expense remained relatively stable. FDIC insurance assessments increased 16 percent attributable to changes in various inputs including normalizing credit conditions and an increase in average assets. Partially offsetting these increases, salaries and benefits decreased 2 percent primarily due to a seasonal decrease in payroll taxes and lower benefit costs.
The company’s second quarter efficiency ratio was 56.4 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis(1). The effective tax rate was 20.2 percent in the second quarter. Compared to the first quarter, the lower effective tax rate was attributable to deductions for equity compensation that occurred during the current quarter.

Growth in average business lending was broad-based across the telecommunications, multifamily, and energy industries. Approximately 84 percent of this quarter’s business loan growth was driven by existing clients accessing and expanding their credit lines. Commercial loan line utilization levels ended the quarter at approximately 43.5 percent, decreasing 20 basis points over the prior quarter, while line commitments grew approximately $1.5 billion during the quarter.

Overall asset quality continued to normalize during the quarter. Business services criticized loans and total delinquencies increased 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively, while non-performing loans decreased 11 percent. Total net charge-offs for the quarter were $81 million, or 33 basis points of average loans, and provision expense totaled $118 million.
The increase to the allowance for credit losses compared to the first quarter was attributable primarily to continued credit normalization, economic outlook changes, and loan growth.
The allowance for credit loss ratio increased 2 basis points to 1.65 percent of total loans, and the allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 332 percent.

Regions maintains a solid capital position with estimated capital ratios remaining well above current regulatory requirements. The Common Equity Tier 1(2) and Tier 1(2) ratios were estimated at 10.1 percent and 11.4 percent, respectively, at quarter-end.
As a Category IV bank, Regions did not participate in this year’s supervisory capital stress test; however, the company did receive its preliminary Stress Capital Buffer reflecting planned capital changes including plans to increase its common stock dividend. From the fourth quarter of 2023 through the third quarter of 2024, the company’s preliminary Stress Capital Buffer will remain at 2.5 percent.
During the second quarter, the company declared $187 million in dividends to common shareholders and did not repurchase any shares of Regions’ common stock. Earlier this week, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.24 per share, a 20 percent increase over the second quarter. This increase is in addition to the 18 percent increase last year, representing two consecutive years of robust dividend growth well supported by underlying financial performance.
The company’s liquidity position also remains robust as of June 30, 2023, with total available liquidity of approximately $53 billion, which includes cash held at the Federal Reserve, FHLB borrowing capacity, unencumbered securities, borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve’s discount window, and the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Lending Plan facility. The loan-to-deposit ratio totaled 78 percent at the end of the quarter.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “future,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “objectives,” “estimates,” “expects,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “can,” and similar terms and expressions often signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information, but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Those statements are based on general assumptions and are subject to various risks, and because they also relate to the future they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described below:
- Current and future economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the communities we serve (in particular the Southeastern United States), including the effects of possible declines in property values, increases in interest rates and unemployment rates, inflation, financial market disruptions and potential reductions of economic growth, which may adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and conditions.
- Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations, which could have a material adverse effect on our businesses and our financial results and conditions.
- Changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity.
- Volatility and uncertainty related to inflation and the effects of inflation, which may lead to increased costs for businesses and consumers and potentially contribute to poor business and economic conditions generally.
- The impact of pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on our businesses, operations, and financial results and conditions. The duration and severity of any pandemic could disrupt the global economy, adversely affect our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and increase our allowance for credit losses, impair collateral values, and result in lost revenue or additional expenses.
- Any impairment of our goodwill or other intangibles, any repricing of assets, or any adjustment of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets due to changes in tax law, adverse changes in the economic environment, declining operations of the reporting unit or other factors.
- The effect of new tax legislation and/or interpretation of existing tax law, which may impact our earnings, capital ratios, and our ability to return capital to shareholders.
- Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans and leases, including operating leases.
- Changes in the speed of loan prepayments, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs, credit loss provisions or actual credit losses where our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses.
- Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to declining interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.
- Loss of customer checking and savings account deposits as customers pursue other, higher-yield investments, which could increase our funding costs.
- Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits and the related effect on our ability to increase assets and to attract deposits, which could adversely affect our net income.
- Rising interest rates could negatively impact the value of our portfolio of investment securities.
- The loss of value of our investment portfolio could negatively impact market perceptions of us.
- The effects of social media on market perceptions of us and banks generally.
- Volatility in the financial services industry (including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions), along with actions taken by governmental agencies to address such turmoil, could affect the ability of depository institutions, including us, to attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital.
- Our ability to effectively compete with other traditional and non-traditional financial services companies, including fintechs, some of whom possess greater financial resources than we do or are subject to different regulatory standards than we are.
- Our inability to develop and gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customers’ needs and respond to emerging technological trends in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our revenue.
- Our inability to keep pace with technological changes, including those related to the offering of digital banking and financial services, could result in losing business to competitors.
- Changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses, including legislation and regulations relating to bank products and services, such as special FDIC assessments, any new long-term debt requirements, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self-regulatory agencies, including as a result of the changes in U.
