Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

NOTE 2 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Pending Branch Acquisition On October 16, 2025, FCB announced that it had entered into an agreement to consummate the acquisition of 138 branches from BMO Bank N.A. located throughout the Midwest, Great Plains and West regions of the U.S. (the BMO Branch Acquisition). In connection with the BMO Branch Acquisition, FCB expects to assume approximately $5.7 billion in deposit liabilities and acquire approximately $1.1 billion in loans. We expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing terms and conditions and regulatory approvals. Completed Acquisition On March 27, 2023 (the SVBB Acquisition Date), FCB acquired substantially all loans and certain other assets and assumed all customer deposits and certain other liabilities of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. (SVBB) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) pursuant to the terms of a purchase and assumption agreement (the SVBB Purchase Agreement) by and among FCB, the FDIC, and the FDIC, as receiver of SVBB (the SVBB Acquisition). BancShares determined that the SVBB Acquisition constituted a business combination as defined by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations . Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were presented at their estimated fair values based on valuations as of March 27, 2023.

Debt · 5,707 characters as filed

NOTE 12 BORROWINGS Short-term Borrowings Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase BancShares held $224 million and $367 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of securities sold under agreements to repurchase that have overnight contractual maturities and are collateralized by government agency securities. The weighted average interest rate for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was 0.41% and 0.59% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. BancShares utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase to facilitate the needs for collateralization of commercial customers and secure wholesale funding needs. Repurchase agreements are transactions whereby BancShares offers to sell to a counterparty an undivided interest in an eligible security at an agreed upon purchase price, and which obligates BancShares to repurchase the security at an agreed upon date, repurchase price and interest rate. These agreements are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transactions and are reflected as securities sold under customer repurchase agreements. BancShares monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and maintains records of each transaction specifically describing the applicable security and the counterpartys fractional interest in that security, and segregates the security from general assets in accordance with regulations governing custodial holdings of securities. The primary risk with repurchase agreemen

Fair value · 21,423 characters as filed

NOTE 14 FAIR VALUE Fair Value Hierarchy BancShares measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement with Level 1 inputs considered highest and Level 3 inputs considered lowest. A brief description of each input level follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the assets or liabilities and market corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs and assumptions reflect the estimates market

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards As of January 1, 2025, BancShares adopted the following Accounting Standards Update (ASU) issued by FASB: ASU 2023-09Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, Issued December 2023 This ASU enhances income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring annual disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation table and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. BancShares applied the required disclosures retrospectively. Aside from complying with the new disclosure requirements, this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Refer to Note 19Income Taxes for required disclosures. As of January 1, 2026, BancShares adopted the following ASU issued by FASB: ASU 2025-08Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, Issued November 2025 Under this ASU, purchased seasoned loans (PSLs as described below) must be recognized at the purchase price, plus the ALLL at the acquisition date (the Gross-Up Approach). Since the ALLL at the acquisition date is established through the Gross-Up Approach, there is no corresponding increase to the provision for loan and lease losses (Day 2 Provision for Loan and Lease Losses). Prior to this ASU, the Gross-Up Approach was only permitted for PCD loans, while the initial ALLL for Non-PCD loans was established through the Day 2 Provision for Loan and Lease Losses.

NOTE 21 SEGMENT INFORMATION Effective January 1, 2025, we made changes to the composition of our reportable segments as further discussed in Note 1Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation, and the segment disclosures below for 2024 and 2023 were recast to conform with those segment composition changes. BancShares segments include the General Bank, the Commercial Bank, and Rail. All other financial information not included in the segments is reported in the Corporate section of the segment disclosures. We do not aggregate multiple operating segments into a reportable segment. Therefore, each of our operating segments are reportable segments. Under our segment expense allocation methodology, allocated expenses increase noninterest expense of the applicable segment(s), with an offsetting decrease to Corporate noninterest expense. All other noninterest expense in the segment reporting tables below includes the effect of allocated expenses, resulting in a reduction to expense (or Contra Expense) for Corporate. General Bank The General Bank segment delivers products and services to consumer and small business clients through our extensive network of branches and various digital channels.

The weighted average interest rate for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was 0.47% and 0.59% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. BancShares utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase to facilitate the needs for collateralization of commercial customers and secure wholesale funding needs. Repurchase agreements are transactions whereby BancShares offers to sell to a counterparty an undivided interest in an eligible security at an agreed upon purchase price, and which obligates BancShares to repurchase the security at an agreed upon date, repurchase price and interest rate. These agreements are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transactions and are reflected as securities sold under customer repurchase agreements. BancShares monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and maintains records of each transaction specifically describing the applicable security and the counterpartys fractional interest in that security, and segregates the security from general assets in accordance with regulations governing custodial holdings of securities.

Fair value · 21,549 characters as filed

NOTE 11 FAIR VALUE Fair Value Hierarchy BancShares measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement with Level 1 inputs considered highest and Level 3 inputs considered lowest. A brief description of each input level follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the assets or liabilities and market corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs and assumptions reflect the estimates market

Income taxes · 2,092 characters as filed

NOTE 15 INCOME TAXES BancShares global effective income tax rates (ETRs) were 24.4% and 26.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 24.7% and 27.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the ETR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to an increase in tax credits and a reduction in the state and local income tax rate. The quarterly income tax expense is based on a projection of BancShares annual ETR. This annual ETR is applied to the year-to-date consolidated pretax income to determine the interim provision for income taxes before discrete items. The ETR each period is also impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and international earnings, effects of changes in enacted tax laws, adjustments to the valuation allowances, and discrete items. The currently forecasted ETR may vary from the actual year-end 2025 ETR due to the changes in these factors. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The OBBBA contains several provisions that impact corporate taxation. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the tax rate or results of operations. Uncertain Tax Benefits BancShares recognizes tax benefits when it is more likely than not that the position will prevail, based solely on the technical merits under the tax law of the relevant j

NOTE 17 SEGMENT INFORMATION Effective January 1, 2025, we made changes to the composition of our reportable segments as further discussed in Note 1Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation, and the segment disclosures below for 2024 were recast to conform with those segment composition changes. BancShares segments include the General Bank, the Commercial Bank, SVB Commercial, and Rail. All other financial information not included in the segments is reported in the Corporate section of the segment disclosures. We do not aggregate multiple operating segments into a reportable segment. Therefore, each of our operating segments are reportable segments. Under our segment expense allocation methodology, allocated expenses increase noninterest expense of the applicable segment(s), with an offsetting decrease to Corporate noninterest expense. All other noninterest expense in the segment reporting tables below includes the effect of allocated expenses, resulting in a reduction to expense (or Contra Expense) for Corporate. General Bank The General Bank segment delivers products and services to consumer and small business clients through our extensive network of branches, various digital channels and a dedicated Private Bank.
