Posted 4:59PM on Wednesday 16th July 2025 ( 1 day ago )

COLUMBUS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 16, 2025--

Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“Synovus delivered impressive 28% year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per share in the second quarter -- an achievement driven by exceptional financial discipline, strategic execution and a steadfast commitment to operational excellence. Funded loan production surged 60% year over year, driving 8% annualized loan growth. Moreover, this quarter's positive operating leverage further strengthened our top-quartile efficiency ratio and profitability. Credit quality improved across all categories, and our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio reached the highest level in our company's history. Despite the continuing economic and global uncertainty, our performance reflects the strength of our strategy, resilience of our team and the trust of our clients. With this strong performance and conviction in our strategy, we've confidently raised our full-year 2025 earnings guidance," said Synovus Chairman, CEO and President Kevin Blair.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and certain of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through Synovus’ use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “assumes,” “should,” “predicts,” “could,” “would,” “intends,” “targets,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future or otherwise regarding the outlook for Synovus’ future business and financial performance and/or the performance of the banking industry and economy in general. These forward-looking statements include, among others, our expectations regarding our future operating and financial performance; expectations on our growth strategy, expense and revenue initiatives, capital management, balance sheet management, and future profitability; expectations on credit quality and performance; and the assumptions underlying our expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synovus to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Synovus’ management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this press release. Many of these factors are beyond Synovus’ ability to control or predict.

These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently known to Synovus’ management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change due to any number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks and other factors set forth in Synovus’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, under the captions “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and in Synovus’ quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date that they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise may be required by law.
