Valley National Bancorp Announces First Quarter 2026 Results
NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the first quarter 2026 of $163.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, as compared to the fourth quarter 2025 net income of $195.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, and net income of $106.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the first quarter 2025. Excluding all non-core income and charges, our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $168.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, for the first quarter 2026, $180.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter 2025, and $106.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the first quarter 2025. See further details below, including a reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted net income, in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.
Ira Robbins, CEO, commented, "We continue to execute on our strategic priorities by growing low-cost core deposits and further diversifying our loan portfolio. These efforts have strengthened our balance sheet metrics and enhanced the sustainability of our earnings and profitability. Through targeted hiring efforts of strategically focused bankers, we are positioned to build on the momentum that we have established in recent years."
Mr. Robbins continued, "We simultaneously acknowledge that the banking landscape is evolving rapidly as artificial intelligence adoption accelerates. I believe that Valley is well-positioned to differentiate itself as a beneficiary from these changes. We invested early in AI talent, and continue to devote resources and focus to solutions that can augment the capabilities of our associates. Client relationships sit at the heart of our mission, and we firmly believe that AI can enhance the client experience and the efficiency of our delivery efforts."
Key financial highlights for the first quarter 2026:
- Net Interest Margin and Income: Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.17 percent for the first quarter 2026 remained unchanged from the fourth quarter 2025 and increased 21 basis points compared to the first quarter 2025. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $472.8 million for the first quarter 2026 increased $6.7 million and $51.4 million compared to the fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025, respectively. The increase in net interest income from the fourth quarter 2025 was mainly driven by an 18 basis point decline in our cost of total average deposits due to our disciplined deposit pricing and continued runoff of higher-cost indirect customer deposits. See additional details in the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below.
- Deposits: Total deposit balances increased $676.5 million to $52.9 billion at March 31, 2026 as compared to $52.2 billion at December 31, 2025. During the quarter, our direct customer deposits increased $955.0 million which enabled us to reduce total indirect (brokered) customer deposits by $278.5 million at March 31, 2026. Direct customer deposit growth was driven by strength in the savings, NOW and money market deposit category primarily as a result of new commercial and online customer deposits. Non-Interest bearing deposits also increased $95.5 million reflecting inflows from both commercial and retail customers during the first quarter 2026. See the "Deposits" section below for more details.
- Loan Portfolio: Total loans increased $692.1 million, or 5.5 percent on an annualized basis, to $50.8 billion at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 mostly due to increases of $466.0 million and $142.6 million in total commercial real estate (CRE) loans and commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, respectively. New owner occupied loans continued to drive a disproportionate amount of growth within the CRE loan portfolio during the first quarter 2026 while loan originations from a range of relationship-driven small to midsize clients contributed to the increase in C&I loans at March 31, 2026. Our CRE loan concentration ratio (defined as total CRE loans held for investment and held for sale, excluding owner occupied loans, as a percentage of total risk-based capital) continued to modestly decline to approximately 329 percent at March 31, 2026 from 333 percent at December 31, 2025. See the "Loans" section below for more details.
- Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $599.8 million and $596.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, representing 1.18 percent and 1.19 percent of total loans at each respective date. During the first quarter 2026, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $21.2 million as compared to $20.0 million and $62.7 million for the fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025, respectively. See the "Credit Quality" section below for more details.
- Credit Quality: Net loan charge-offs totaled $17.5 million for the first quarter 2026 as compared to $22.6 million and $41.9 million for the fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025, respectively. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased $13.4 million to $127.9 million, or 0.25 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2026 as compared to $141.3 million, or 0.28 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2025. Non-accrual loans totaled $432.6 million, or 0.85 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2026 as compared to $433.9 million, or 0.87 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2025. See the "Credit Quality" section below for more details.
- Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income decreased $7.5 million to $68.8 million for the first quarter 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter 2025 mainly driven by expected decreases of $5.1 million, $3.2 million and $2.2 million in capital markets, other income, and wealth management and trust fees, respectively. The decreases were mostly due to a lower volume of capital markets transactions, a decline in net gains related to the valuation of certain fintech investments and lower transaction-related tax credit advisory fees during the first quarter 2026. These decreases were partially offset by increases in both service charges on deposit accounts and net gains on sales of loans as compared to the fourth quarter 2025.
- Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased $10.5 million to $309.9 million for the first quarter 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter 2025 largely due to an increase of $11.1 million in salary and employee benefits expense. The increase in salary and employee benefits expense was mainly driven by normal seasonal increases in both salary and payroll taxes during the first quarter 2026, as well as a $5.1 million increase in severance charges during the first quarter 2026. The FDIC insurance assessment expense also increased $4.8 million during the first quarter 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter 2025. The FDIC assessment expense for the fourth quarter 2025 was net of a $5.7 million decrease in our estimated special assessment losses at December 31, 2025. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $4.4 million in other non-interest expense largely caused by elevated fourth quarter 2025 variable expenses within the category, including those related to charitable contributions, seasonal travel and events and other real estate owned expenses. Additionally, professional and legal fees also decreased $1.7 million mostly due to a moderate decline in consulting fees related to our operational transformation efforts.
- Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 53.10 percent for the first quarter 2026 as compared to 53.49 percent and 55.87 percent for the fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
- Performance Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA), shareholders’ equity (ROE) and tangible common shareholders' equity (ROTCE) were 1.02 percent, 8.35 percent and 11.56 percent for the first quarter 2026, respectively. Annualized ROA, ROE, and ROTCE, adjusted for non-core income and charges, were 1.05 percent, 8.60 percent and 11.92 percent for the first quarter 2026, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $472.8 million for the first quarter 2026 increased $6.7 million and $51.4 million compared to the fourth quarter 2025 and the first quarter 2025, respectively, largely resulting from a decline in the cost of average deposits and, to a lesser extent, lower average long-term borrowings and additional interest income from higher average overnight interest bearing cash balances. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased $13.0 million to $804.0 million for the first quarter 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter 2025. The decrease was mostly the result of two fewer days in the first quarter 2026 and downward repricing of adjustable rate loans, partially offset by the additional interest income from interest bearing cash balances in the first quarter 2026. Total interest expense decreased $19.7 million to $331.2 million for the first quarter 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter 2025. The decrease was mainly the result of lower costs on most interest bearing deposit products and the maturity and repayment of higher-cost time deposits as well as certain long-term borrowings during the first quarter 2026. See the "Deposits" and "Other Borrowings" sections below for more details.
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.17 percent for the first quarter 2026 remained unchanged as compared to the fourth quarter 2025 and increased 21 basis points from 2.96 percent for the first quarter 2025. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased by 17 basis points to 5.39 percent on a linked quarter basis largely due to downward repricing of our adjustable rate loans and the lower yield on overnight interest bearing cash balances, partially offset by the higher level of yields on new loans and investment securities during the first quarter 2026. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased by 24 basis points to 3.06 percent for the first quarter 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter 2025 largely due to disciplined management of our deposit pricing in the current market environment. Our cost of total average deposits was 2.27 percent for the first quarter 2026 as compared to 2.45 percent and 2.65 percent for the fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025, respectively.
Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings
Loans. Total loans increased $692.1 million, or 5.5 percent on an annualized basis, to $50.8 billion at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025. C&I loans increased by $142.6 million, or 5.2 percent on an annualized basis, to $11.1 billion at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 largely driven by new originations from a range of relationship-driven small to midsize clients as a result of our continued focus on expansion of new loan production within this category. Total CRE (including construction) loans increased $466.0 million to $29.7 billion at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 mostly due to solid customer demand and loan originations within the owner occupied category. Non-owner occupied loans decreased $67.3 million from December 31, 2025 mainly due to our continued targeted runoff of transactional/non-relationship loans in the first quarter 2026. Residential mortgage and total consumer loans increased $42.9 million and $40.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 due to modest broad-based growth in these products.
Loans held for sale decreased $15.0 million to $11.2 million at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 due, in part, to the sale of a non-performing CRE loan relationship totaling $9.1 million to an unrelated party during the first quarter 2026. The non-performing loan sale resulted in a net gain of $767 thousand recognized within net gains on sales of loans for the first quarter 2026.
Deposits. Actual ending balances for deposits increased $676.5 million to $52.9 billion at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 mainly due to additional commercial and online customer deposit balances within the savings, NOW and money market deposit category. The non-interest bearing deposits increased $95.5 million to $12.3 billion at March 31, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025 largely driven by deposit inflows from a blend of commercial and retail customers during the first quarter 2026. Total indirect customer deposits (consisting of brokered time and money market deposits) totaled $5.1 billion and $5.4 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in indirect customer deposits from December 31, 2025 was mainly related to lower brokered money market deposit balances at March 31, 2026. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 23 percent, 55 percent and 22 percent of total deposits at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings, consisting of securities sold under repurchase agreements, decreased $27.6 million to $63.9 million at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025. Long-term borrowings totaled $2.6 billion at March 31, 2026 and decreased $347.7 million as compared to December 31, 2025 due to the maturity and repayment of certain FHLB advances.
Credit Quality
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, totaled $439.6 million at March 31, 2026 and remained relatively unchanged as compared to December 31, 2025. Non-accrual loans decreased $1.3 million to $432.6 million, or 0.85 percent of total loans at March 31, 2026 as compared to $433.9 million, or 0.87 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in non-accrual CRE loans, partially offset by higher non-accrual C&I and, to a lesser extent, residential mortgage loans. Non-accrual CRE loans decreased $10.8 million at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 mainly due to the sale of the $9.1 million non-performing loan relationship that was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2025.
Accruing Past Due Loans. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased $13.4 million to $127.9 million, or 0.25 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2026 as compared to $141.3 million, or 0.28 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2025.
Loans 30 to 59 days past due decreased $11.6 million to $108.4 million at March 31, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025 largely due to lower delinquencies across all loan categories and a C&I loan relationship totaling $3.5 million that migrated from this past due category at December 31, 2025 to loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at March 31, 2026. Loans 60 to 89 days past due decreased $7.9 million to $8.8 million at March 31, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025 primarily due to lower residential mortgage and consumer loan delinquencies. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest increased $6.1 million to $10.7 million at March 31, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025 largely due to higher residential mortgage loans delinquencies and the migration of the aforementioned C&I loan relationship from the 30 to 59 days past due delinquency category during the first quarter of 2026. All loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are well-secured and in the process of collection.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and Unfunded Commitments. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025:

Our loan portfolio, totaling $50.8 billion at March 31, 2026, had net loan charge-offs totaling $17.5 million for the first quarter 2026 as compared to $22.6 million and $41.9 million for the fourth quarter 2025 and the first quarter 2025, respectively. Gross loan charge-offs totaled $19.8 million for the first quarter 2026 and were mostly driven by the partial charge-offs of non-performing loan relationships within the CRE loan category.
The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 1.18 percent at March 31, 2026, 1.19 percent at December 31, 2025, and 1.22 percent at March 31, 2025. For the first quarter 2026, the provision for credit losses for loans totaled $21.2 million as compared to $20.0 million and $62.7 million for the fourth quarter 2025 and first quarter 2025, respectively. The first quarter 2026 provision was mainly impacted by (i) increases in the economic forecast and non-economic qualitative components of our reserve and (ii) commercial loan growth, partially offset by (iii) lower quantitative reserves in certain loan categories at March 31, 2026.
Capital Adequacy
Valley's total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 13.66 percent, 11.60 percent, 10.91 percent and 9.56 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2026 as compared to 13.77 percent, 11.69 percent, 10.99 percent and 9.63 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2025. During the first quarter 2026, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $12.95 under our current stock repurchase plan.

| VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS | ||
| NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA | ||
| (1) | Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules. | |
| (2) | Non-GAAP Reconciliations. This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in understanding Valley’s underlying operational performance, business and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our current and prior performance with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion of this supplemental information, together with the accompanying reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures disclosed by other companies. | |
