| CEO COMMENTARY |
|
Harris H. Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Zions Bancorporation, commented, “First quarter results continued to reflect the adverse impact on net interest income of the bank failures a year ago, with taxable-equivalent revenue down 11.3% from the prior year. We nevertheless saw incremental improvement in our net interest margin and earning asset growth, and adjusted operating expenses (which exclude an additional FDIC special assessment related to last year’s bank failures) increased a modest 0.4% from last year’s quarter.” Mr. Simmons continued, “Although we experienced an increase in classified loans during the quarter, our commercial real estate portfolio continues to perform relatively well; classified loans in that portfolio increased only 7%, and we had a slight net recovery in previously charged-off CRE loans during the quarter. We continue to expect that ultimate realized loan losses will be very manageable over the remainder of the year, as indicated by annualized net charge-offs for the quarter which were a very low 0.04% of loans and leases.” Mr. Simmons concluded, “Immediately following quarter end, we completed a very successful conversion of all the deposit accounts at Amegy Bank and Nevada State Bank to our new TCS BaNCS™ platform. We anticipate completing the conversion of substantially all remaining accounts later this summer, providing us the ability to post transactions to our core systems in real time, significantly improve internal processes, and better serve customers.” |

1 Rates are calculated using amounts in thousands and a tax rate of 21% for the periods presented.
Net interest income decreased $93 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2024, relative to the prior year period, as higher funding costs offset higher earning asset yields. The net interest margin was 2.94%, compared with 3.33%, and was up from 2.91% in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.25% in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 76 basis points, reflecting higher interest rates and a favorable mix change to higher yielding assets. The yield on average loans and leases increased 76 basis points to 6.06%, and the yield on average securities increased 38 basis points to 2.84% in the first quarter of 2024.
The rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was 2.34%, compared with 1.17% in the prior year quarter, and the cost of total deposits was 2.06%, compared with 0.47%, also reflecting the higher interest rate environment as well as reduced noninterest-bearing deposits.
Net interest income was also impacted by reduced interest-earning assets and an increase in interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets decreased $2.2 billion, or 3%, from the prior year quarter, driven by declines of $2.5 billion and $1.5 billion in average securities and average money market investments, respectively. The decrease in average securities was primarily due to principal reductions. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.8 billion in average loans and leases.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $6.0 billion, or 12%, from the prior year quarter, driven by an increase of $12.0 billion in average interest-bearing deposits, as customers moved from noninterest-bearing to interest-bearing products in response to the higher interest rate environment. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $6.0 billion in average borrowed funds.

Customer-related noninterest income remained flat at $151 million. An increase in capital markets fees, driven largely by improved real estate capital markets and securities underwriting activity, was partially offset by a decrease in loan-related fees and income, primarily due to higher gains on loan sales in the prior year period and a decline in loan servicing income resulting from the sale of associated mortgage servicing rights in the third quarter of 2023.
Dividends and other income decreased $5 million, primarily due to higher mark-to-market valuation adjustments related to servicing rights in the prior year quarter and a decrease in dividends on FHLB stock. Net securities gains decreased $3 million, due to a $4 million valuation loss associated with one of our equity investments in the current period. These decreases were offset by a $4 million increase in fair value and nonhedge derivative income, primarily due to credit valuation adjustments on client-related interest rate swaps.

Total noninterest expense increased $14 million, or 3%, relative to the prior year quarter. Deposit insurance and regulatory expense increased $16 million, driven largely by a $13 million accrual associated with an updated special assessment estimate by the FDIC during the current quarter. Technology, telecom, and information processing expense increased $7 million, or 13%, primarily due to increases in software amortization expenses associated with the replacement of our core loan and deposit banking system, as well as other related application software, license, and maintenance expenses. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $8 million, or 2%, primarily due to a decline in incentive compensation accruals.
ZIONS BANCORPORATION, N.A.
Press Release – Page 4
Adjusted noninterest expense remained relatively flat at $511 million. The efficiency ratio was 67.9%, compared with 59.9%, primarily due to a decline in adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, see pages 16-17.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total investment securities decreased $2.4 billion, or 10%, to $20.2 billion at March 31, 2024, due largely to AFS and HTM principal reductions. The trading securities portfolio, comprised of municipal securities, totaled $59 million at March 31, 2024, compared with $12 million at March 31, 2023.
We invest in securities to actively manage liquidity and interest rate risk and to generate interest income. We primarily own securities that can readily provide us cash and liquidity through secured borrowing agreements without the need to sell the securities. Our fixed-rate securities portfolio helps balance the inherent interest rate mismatch between loans and deposits and protects the economic value of shareholders' equity. At March 31, 2024, the estimated duration, which measures price sensitivity to interest rate changes, of our securities portfolio was 3.6 percent, compared with 4.1 percent at March 31, 2023. The decline was primarily due to the addition of fair value hedges of fixed-rate securities during the second quarter of 2023.

Loans and leases, net of unearned income and fees, increased $1.8 billion, or 3%, to $58.1 billion at March 31, 2024, relative to the prior year quarter. Consumer loans increased $1.2 billion from the prior year quarter, primarily in the 1-4 family residential portfolio, and commercial real estate loans increased $0.7 billion, primarily in the multi-family and industrial construction loan portfolios. Increased funding of construction lending commitments and a slower pace of loan payoffs contributed to growth in these portfolios. Unfunded lending commitments decreased $1.2 billion, or 4%, to $29.5 billion at March 31, 2024, primarily due to draws on existing commercial and consumer construction lending commitments.

During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a $13 million provision for credit losses, compared with a $45 million provision during the prior year period. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $736 million at March 31, 2024, compared with $678 million at March 31, 2023. The year-over-year increase in the ACL reflects declines in credit quality, incremental reserves associated with portfolio-specific risks including commercial real estate, and loan growth. The ratio of ACL to total loans and leases was 1.27% at March 31, 2024, compared with 1.20% at March 31, 2023.
Net loan and lease charge-offs totaled $6 million, compared with zero net charge-offs in the prior year quarter. Classified loans increased $54 million, or 6%. Nonperforming assets increased $81 million, or 47%, primarily in the commercial and industrial and term commercial real estate portfolios.

Total deposits increased $5.0 billion, or 7%, from the prior year quarter, as a $10.9 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits was partially offset by a $5.8 billion decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, as customers moved to interest-bearing products in response to the higher interest rate environment.

At March 31, 2024, customer deposits (excluding brokered deposits) totaled $69.9 billion, compared with $63.8 billion at March 31, 2023, and included approximately $7.5 billion of reciprocal deposits. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 78%, compared with 81% in the prior year quarter.
Total borrowed funds, consisting primarily of secured borrowings, decreased $7.3 billion, or 57%, from the prior year quarter, due largely to an increase in interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in interest-earning assets. The decrease in long-term debt was due to the maturity of a senior note during the second quarter of 2023.

The common stock dividend was $0.41 per share, unchanged from the first quarter of 2023. Common shares outstanding decreased 0.4 million from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to common stock repurchases. During the first quarter of 2024, we repurchased 0.9 million common shares outstanding for $35 million, compared with 0.9 million common shares repurchased for $50 million during the prior year period.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) was $2.6 billion at March 31, 2024, and largely reflects a decline in the fair value of fixed-rate available-for-sale securities as a result of changes in interest rates. Absent any sales or credit impairment of these securities, the unrealized losses will not be recognized in earnings. We do not intend to sell any securities with unrealized losses. Although changes in AOCI are reflected in shareholders’ equity, they are excluded from regulatory capital, and therefore do not impact our regulatory capital ratios.
Estimated common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital was $6.9 billion, an increase of 5%, compared with $6.6 billion in the prior year period. The estimated CET1 capital ratio was 10.4%, compared with 9.9%. Tangible book value per common share increased to $29.34, compared with $24.85, primarily due to an increase in retained earnings and an improvement in AOCI due largely to paydowns on securities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
This press release presents non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. We consider these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and provide a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance and financial position. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors to assess our performance on the same basis as that applied by our management and the financial services industry.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and are not necessarily comparable to similar financial measures that may be presented by other financial services companies. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
Tangible Common Equity and Related Measures
Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our use of shareholders’ equity and provide a basis for evaluating the performance of a business more consistently, whether acquired or developed internally.

Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue
The efficiency ratio is a measure of operating expense relative to revenue. We believe the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. We make adjustments to exclude certain items that are not generally expected to recur frequently, as identified in the subsequent schedule, which we believe allows for more consistent comparability across periods. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how we are managing our expenses. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue enables management and others to assess our ability to generate capital. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows us to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.

April 22, 2024 First Quarter 2024 Financial Review
2 Forward-Looking Statements; Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Forward Looking Information This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions regarding future events or determinations, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, industry trends, and results or regulatory outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Forward-looking statements include, among others: Statements with respect to the beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, targets, commitments, designs, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, and future financial condition, results of operations and performance of Zions Bancorporation, National Association and its subsidiaries (collectively “Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”); and Statements preceded or followed by, or that include the words “may,” “might,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecasts,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “commit,” “design,” “plan,” “projects,” “will,” and the negative thereof and similar words and expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, nor should they be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those presented. Although the following list is not comprehensive, important factors that may cause material differences include: The quality and composition of our loan and securities portfolios and the quality and composition of our deposits; Changes in general industry, political and economic conditions, including elevated inflation, economic slowdown or recession, or other economic challenges; changes in interest and reference rates, which could adversely affect our revenue and expenses, the value of assets and liabilities, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity; deterioration in economic conditions that may result in increased loan and leases losses; The effects of newly enacted and proposed regulations affecting us and the banking industry, as well as changes and uncertainties in applicable laws, and fiscal, monetary, regulatory, trade, and tax policies, and actions taken by governments, agencies, central banks, and similar organizations, including those that result in decreases in revenue; increases in bank fees, insurance assessments and capital standards; and other regulatory requirements; Competitive pressures and other factors that may affect aspects of our business, such as pricing and demand for our products and services, and our ability to recruit and retain talent; The impact of technological advancements, digital commerce, artificial intelligence, and other innovations affecting the banking industry; Our ability to complete projects and initiatives and execute on our strategic plans, manage our risks, control compensation and other expenses, and achieve our business objectives; Our ability to develop and maintain technology, information security systems and controls designed to guard against fraud, cybersecurity, and privacy risks; Our ability to provide adequate oversight of our suppliers or prevent inadequate performance by third parties upon whom we rely for the delivery of various products and services; Natural disasters, pandemics, catastrophic events and other emergencies and incidents and their impact on our and our customer’s operations and business and communities, including the increasing difficulty in, and the expense of, obtaining property, auto, business, and other insurance products; Governmental and social responses to environmental, social, and governance issues, including those with respect to climate change; Securities and capital markets behavior, including volatility and changes in market liquidity and our ability to raise capital; The possibility that our recorded goodwill could become impaired, which may have an adverse impact on our earnings and shareholders’ equity, but not on our regulatory capital; The impact of bank closures or adverse developments at other banks on general investor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; Adverse news and other expressions of negative public opinion whether directed at us, other banks, the banking industry, or otherwise that may adversely affect our reputation and that of the banking industry generally; Protracted congressional negotiations and political stalemates regarding government funding and other issues, including those that increase the possibility of government shutdowns, downgrades in United States (“U.S.”) credit ratings, or other economic disruptions; and The effects of wars and geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, and other local, national, or international disasters, crises, or conflicts that may occur in the future. Factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, industry trends, and results or regulatory outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are available on our website (www.zionsbancorporation.com) and from the SEC (www.sec.gov). We caution against the undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our views only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by law, we specifically disclaim any obligation to update any factors or to publicly announce the revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This document contains several references to non-GAAP measures, including but not limited to, pre-provision net revenue and the “efficiency ratio,” which are common industry terms used by investors and financial services analysts. Certain of these non-GAAP measures are key inputs into Zions’ management compensation and are used in Zions’ strategic goals that have been and may continue to be articulated to investors. Therefore, the use of such non-GAAP measures are believed by management to be of substantial interest to the consumers of these financial disclosures and are used prominently throughout the disclosures. A reconciliation of the difference between such measures and GAAP financials is provided within the document, and users of this document are encouraged to carefully review this reconciliation.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity Based on the yield curve implied forward path in rates at 1Q24 (Fed Funds Target ends 2024 at 4.75%), net interest income would increase 1.8% in 1Q25 vs. 1Q24: Latent (2) sensitivity: NII estimated to increase by approximately 0.8% in 1Q25 This reflects continued asset repricing along with a total deposit cost increase of approximately 51 basis points by 1Q25, which is consistent with a 49% through-the-cycle beta Emergent (2) sensitivity: NII estimated to increase by approximately 1.0%, in addition to Latent, in 1Q25 +100 and -100 parallel interest rate shocks to the implied forward rate path illustrate moderate rate sensitivity This estimate does not include any changes to the size or composition of earning assets; it reflects existing swap maturities and forward-starting swaps Interest Rate Impacts on Net Interest Income(1)
