Net interest income, excluding PAA, was $1.58 billion, a decrease of $91 million from the linked quarter.Interest income on loans decreased $84 million and, excluding loan PAA, decreased $73 million, mainly due to a decline in yield and an $11 million decrease in loan PAA, partially offset by the impact of a higher average balance.Interest income on investment securities decreased $40 million due to decreases in the average balance and yield.Interest income on interest-earning deposits at banks decreased $30 million due to a lower average balance and a decline in yield.Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $28 million due to a lower rate paid, partially offset by the impact of a higher average balance.Interest expense on borrowings decreased $25 million, mainly due to a decline in the average balance as a result of prepayments of the Purchase Money Note.Net interest margin ("NIM") was 3.09% compared to 3.20% in the linked quarter, a decrease of 11 basis points. NIM, excluding PAA, was 3.01%, compared to 3.11% in the linked quarter, a decrease of 10 basis points.The yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.30%, a decrease of 18 basis points from the linked quarter, mainly due to the following:A lower loan yield resulting from lower interest rates and a decline in loan PAA, partially offset by the impact of a higher average balance.A lower yield on investment securities resulting from a lower average balance and lower interest rates.A lower yield on interest-earning deposits at banks resulting from a lower average balance and a decline in the federal funds rate.The rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities was 2.93%, a decrease of 10 basis points from the linked quarter, primarily due to a lower rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and a lower average balance of borrowings, partially offset by the impact of a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits.NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSENoninterest income was $692 million, compared to $715 million in the linked quarter, a decrease of $23 million. Adjusted noninterest income was $520 million, a decrease of $9 million from the linked quarter. The decreases in noninterest income and adjusted noninterest income were primarily due to a decrease in other noninterest income of $15 million as the linked quarter included a gain on tax credit investments. Increases of $7 million in deposit fees and service charges and $5 million in lending-related fees were partially offset by modest decreases spread amongst various noninterest income line items. Additionally, the fair value adjustment on marketable equity securities decreased $9 million compared to the linked quarter.Noninterest expense was $1.54 billion, a decrease of $36 million from the linked quarter. Adjusted noninterest expense was $1.33 billion, a decrease of $38 million. The decreases in noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense were primarily due to the following:Marketing expense decreased $15 million, mostly due to fewer marketing promotions for Direct Bank deposits.Professional fees and adjusted professional fees decreased $10 million and $16 million, respectively, mainly due to a decrease in consulting services.Personnel cost and adjusted personnel cost increased $20 million and $8 million, respectively, largely driven by seasonal increases in employee benefits and payroll taxes.The remaining net decrease in noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense of $31 million and $15 million, respectively, was spread amongst various other noninterest expense line items.BALANCE SHEET SUMMARYLoans and leases were $148.69 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $762 million or 0.5% compared to $147.93 billion at December 31, 2025. Commercial Bank segment loan growth of $1.35 billion, mainly concentrated in Global Fund Banking, was partially offset by a decrease in General Bank segment loans of $591 million, primarily due to the transfer of approximately $364 million of loans to held for sale.Total investment securities were $42.99 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.42 billion since December 31, 2025. Purchases of approximately $2.89 billion during the quarter remained concentrated in short duration available for sale U.S. treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, and were partially offset by maturities and paydowns.Deposits were $170.84 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $9.26 billion or 5.7% since December 31, 2025, primarily attributable to an increase in Commercial Bank segment deposits of $5.66 billion, mainly driven by Global Fund Banking and Tech & Healthcare.

Additionally, General Bank segment deposits increased $1.12 billion.Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $2.95 billion (7.3% from the linked quarter) and represented 25.5% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026, compared to 25.2% at December 31, 2025. The cost of average total deposits was 2.04% for the current quarter, compared to 2.09% for the linked quarter.Borrowings were $33.96 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $2.05 billion compared to $36.01 billion at December 31, 2025, mainly due to the $2.50 billion prepayment of the Purchase Money Note, partially offset by the issuance of $500 million of senior notes during the current quarter.The Purchase Money Note declined from $35.85 billion at September 30, 2025 to $30.91 billion  at March 31, 2026.Funding mix improved to 83.4% of total funding comprised of deposits.Interest-earning deposits at banks were $23.19 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $3.39 billion compared to $19.80 billion at December 31, 2025, a function of the balance sheet trends discussed above.PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITYProvision for credit losses totaled $72 million for the current quarter, compared to $54 million for the linked quarter. The current quarter included a provision for loan and lease losses of $103 million, partially offset by a benefit for off-balance sheet credit exposure of $32 million.The provision for loan and lease losses for the current quarter was $103 million, compared to $57 million for the linked quarter. The $46 million increase was mainly attributable to the impact of an $8 million reserve release in the current quarter compared to an $86 million reserve release in the linked quarter, partially offset by a decline of $32 million in net charge-offs.The $8 million reserve release in the current quarter was largely driven by loan growth concentrated in capital call lines, which have a lower loss rate relative to our other loan portfolios, and changes in the macroeconomic scenarios, partially offset by higher reserves for individually evaluated loans.The $86 million reserve release in the linked quarter was driven by lower specific reserves for individually evaluated loans, loan growth concentrated in capital call lines, and improvements in the macroeconomic scenarios and credit quality.The benefit for off-balance sheet credit exposure was $32 million, an increase of $27 million from the linked quarter, mainly due to changes in the macroeconomic scenarios and lower available balances. Net charge-offs were $111 million (0.30% of average loans) for the current quarter, compared to $143 million (0.39% of average loans) for the linked quarter. The $32 million decrease was primarily related to lower net charge-offs in commercial real estate and investor dependent portfolios.Nonaccrual loans were $1.43 billion (0.96% of loans) at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.31 billion (0.88% of loans) at December 31, 2025. The $122 million increase in nonaccrual loans was largely concentrated in a small number of commercial real estate loans that were individually evaluated, contributing to the increase in specific reserves.The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $1.56 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.57 billion at December 31, 2025. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans was 1.05% at March 31, 2026, compared to 1.06% at December 31, 2025.CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITYCapital ratios remained well above regulatory requirements. The estimated total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, Common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 13.51%, 11.79%, 10.83%, and 9.30%, respectively, at March 31, 2026.

Shares repurchased during the current quarter represented 4.04% of Class A common shares and 3.71% of total Class A and Class B common shares outstanding at December 31, 2025.From inception of the 2024 Share Repurchase Plan through March 31, 2026, we have repurchased 2,842,948 shares of our Class A common stock for $5.59 billion, representing 21.02% of Class A common shares and 19.57% of total Class A and Class B common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024.As of March 31, 2026, the total capacity remaining under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan was $1.91 billion.Liquidity position remains strong as liquid assets were $60.72 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $56.01 billion at December 31, 2025.

This allows UBS to expand banking services, such as deposits, to U.S. clients, complementing its post-Credit Suisse U.S. integration and shifting focus to US expansion
....UBS purchasing FCNCA would be a perfect move..............connect the UBS wealth management operation to FIRST CITIZENS BANK traditional bank.......let's do this..................

.....USB's earnings for Q1 were stellar, and far above estimates........USB stated that it is focusing on "core growth".....???......no such thing........BANKS ARE LIKE FARM FIELDS................only way to increase growth is to expand the farm..................hello............

....we presented frankie's troubled THRIFT to USB several years ago.........they sniffed and backed off......right before FCB bought CIT and the Silicon Valley scam purchase.........................so............USB should make another run at frankie's AH.......secretly, before the price increases in a bidding war.............

........AIMHO........FCNCA = = = FOR SALE...........cheap at $23-billion.......ask.....??......

......$25-billies, IMO, to gobble up frankie's failing credit union........= = = peanuts to the BIG BOYS.......spare change for either USB or UBS..........

......gotta be a match, in terms of corporate strategy.....for the buyer of FCNCA........FCNCA is a solid mid-level retail bank.....and has a huge currency trading division.........first-class branch network, nationwide..............CIT is an $85-billion wild card, but if there ain't any credit problems with CIT.......HUGE EARNINGS MACHINE.............the spreads on CIT's corporate loans is like 5+%.......even 8+%.........versus a tight 3% on the basic traditional bank loans......

.........no worries..........WIN WIN with FCNCA...............slowly increase the share price..........or spikes and spikes.........UP.................

_________UBS_________vs___________USB_______________

...either, or......highest bidder...........our preference would be GS, but dunno.......CAP ONE works as well.............

...also awaiting the stock SPLIT news.........????.........40/1.......or 50/1.....................all net math.........

.....we need some noise on this stock.... frankie should dump it before the big DROP.................

First Citizens Bank is a major player.........national banking organization.....spread across numerous platforms.........could be a safe, long-term investment......??.....

As a major shareholder, I would only be concerned about the quality of the commercial loan portfolio.......this is where the vulnerability is......and it pertains to the CIT commercial loans..................it would take a melt-down of the USA economy..........and a deep recession.............and then the CIT loans start going bad.......it would take dozens and dozens of those $10mm to $50mm loans..................UNLIKELY..............

We believe FCNCA would be a great candidate for a take-over, by a larger bank that wants to EXPAND its scale and reach.............???......

......GO FIRST CITIZENS.........GO FRANK HOLDING........................aimho............

.......FCNCA:......????...........for the next twelve months, probably trends higher........gonna be a stock split, 1/40, or 1/50......this will give an artificial boost of about 10%...................earnings are solid, short term...................

.......QUESTION: the integrity of the CIT loan portfolio which now totals about $85-billion..........filled with odd loans of all shapes and sizes, both real estate and commercial/industrial...................I would like to do a bank exam and audit, but frankie would surely turn me down.........???.......

.....no worries................being in bed with frankie and hope holding............might pay off..........might..............

......MY HOPE - HOPE HOLDING IS THAT FCNCA GETS BOGHT OUT......by either USB......goldman.....or capital one......$22.5 to $25------billies takes it......

....aimho...................

Hey Fred, good news FINALLY! This appears to be $30.52 a share when you include the $7.00 per share that you speak of so does this seem correct. I also appears the FCNCA stock is either totally tax-free or tax-free up to a certain amount, say the first twelve dollars are tax-free when FCNCA is sold, and anything above that is taxable at LTCG. The cash portion may be taxable at LTCG as well.

It also seems if what you posit is accurate, then the end is complete and it appears they would hit the send button any day, with waiting is finally over.

...

.....................FCNCA.................FOR SALE..............................

.....the shareholders at UNITED WESTERN BANCORP., INC...........are now merged into FCNCA....................by virtue of FCNCA purchasing UWBI, with cash....................345,000 shares.................which has grown to 354,000 shares..............................

.....WELCOME THE UWBI FEMDOMS TO YOUR BANKING FAMILY, frankie...............now, we gotta dump this failing credit union.........BEFORE THE CIT PORTFOLIO CRASHES.........................let's peddle this house of cards bank...........beginning NOW, frankie.............

.....I bounced this BANK to DREW CECERE over at USB.....................?????.............$22.5-bills.............frankie.........take it...........or we try to bid up the ante to Goldman or Cap One................sucker one of those deep pockets into this mess......................

....WE LOVE YOU, FRANKIE..............even though you should not have conspired to take that Denver THRIFT, united western bank, in the first place, back in Jan. of 2011.................but we forgive you, frankie...........all is well that ends well...............................aimho.............

Realta Fusion Secures $9.5 Million Growth Capital Facility from Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens BankFebruary 17, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Financing to support advancement of magnetic mirror fusion technology SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a division of First Citizens Bank, today announced it has provided a growth capital facility of $9.5 million to fusion energy startup Realta Fusion (Realta).







Realta Fusion's technology is built to provide on-site industrial heat and power across a broad range of uses, including data centers, chemical processing, metal recycling, remote mining, and other heavy industrial operations. This latest financing will enable Realta to continue derisking the physics of its compact, scalable, and modular – CoSMo fusion™ – energy system on its path to commercialization."While our approach promises to be a lower capital path to fusion energy than some other concepts, we are still a deep tech company with significant capital needs," said Realta Fusion CEO and Co-Founder Kieran Furlong. "This debt financing made available to us by SVB is a powerful tool we can put to good use on the way to safe, clean, and reliable commercial fusion energy."Realta's system is based on the compact magnetic mirror concept, in which extremely strong magnets trap super-heated hydrogen gas between two ends of a simple cylinder. Hydrogen atoms within the cylinder collide and fuse together, releasing massive amounts of carbon-free energy that can be delivered as heat or electricity."Realta has the potential to transform energy use across data centers, manufacturing, and other heavy industries," said Dennis Grunt, Managing Director, Technology and Healthcare Banking at Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank. "SVB is thrilled to support Realta as it grows and scales its fusion energy platform as a future source of heat and power."About Realta FusionRealta Fusion spun out of a large fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy. The experiment was the first to use high temperature superconducting magnets in a magnetic mirror configuration and confined its first plasma at a world-record breaking magnetic field strength of 17 Tesla. Realta Fusion recently announced a $36 million Series A funding round led by new investor Future Ventures, with further support from existing investor Khosla Ventures, who led Realta Fusion's seed round in 2023.About Silicon Valley Bank? Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a division of First Citizens Bank, is the bank of some of the world's most innovative companies and investors.
