Promise Ledger · All Quarters

MarkedStatusPromise
Q3'26PendingWe expect to maintain a mid-thirties beta
Ongoing guidance, not a dated promise. Current call widens the stated range to 'mid to high-30%', an upward revision in expected deposit costs rather than a clean delivery or miss.
Q3'26PendingWe continue to expect full-year 2026 net charge-offs to be between 40 and 50 basis points
Year not complete. Current call revises expectation toward the low end of that same range, a favorable revision but not a resolution.
Q3'26PendingFor full year 2026, we continue to expect adjusted non-interest expense to be up between 1.5% and 3.5%, and we expect to deliver full-year adjusted positive operating leverage
Fiscal year not yet complete; current call reaffirms the same range.
Q3'26PendingWe will begin a pilot family and friends... sometime in September or October... likely in the first quarter of 2027... complete by mid-year to sometime in the third quarter of 2027
Not yet a dated/closed milestone. Current call reaffirms the pilot will begin 'in the next week or 2', consistent with being on schedule, but full conversion remains a 2027 event.
Q3'26DeliveredWe would expect share buybacks in the third quarter to pick up a bit
Buybacks rose to $95M in Q3 from $59M in Q2, a clear pickup.
Q3'26ExceededWe continue to expect quarterly revenue to increase within our $90 million-$105 million range, trending towards the lower end of the range in the third quarter
Capital markets income rose 23% sequentially and was called 'record revenue', suggesting it landed well above the 'lower end' expectation, though the exact dollar figure was never disclosed on the call.
Q3'26DeliveredWe expect to be flat to slightly up [NIM] in the third quarter
NIM rose 2bps to 3.68%, consistent with 'flat to slightly up' from the 3.66% Q2 exit.
Q3'26DeliveredThird quarter net interest income is expected to increase approximately 2%
Q3 NII actually increased 2% linked-quarter, matching the guide exactly.
Q2'26PendingPositive operating leverage for full year
Still committed but with fees trending lower, getting harder
Q2'26PendingCapital markets revenue $90-105M quarterly
Now guiding to lower end, suggests missing original expectations
Q2'26DeliveredMaintain mid-30s deposit beta
Beta at 37% over the cycle, within guided range
Q2'26PendingExit year with NIM at low 3.70s
At 3.66% currently, needs 4bp expansion over two quarters
Q2'26DeliveredDeploy commercial lending platform this summer
Successfully implemented per John's comments
Q2'26PendingNII growth of 2.5%-4% for full year
Q2 up 2% as promised, but needs acceleration to hit midpoint
Q2'26PendingFull year average loan growth low single digits
On track with 2% Q2 growth, need similar H2 to hit target
Q2'26MissedLaunch deposit system pilot in Q3 2026
Pushed to 'later this year', clear timeline slippage
Q1'26DeliveredCore system conversion timeline on track
User testing phase proceeding as planned for Q3 pilot
Q1'26Exceeded2025 net charge-offs between 40-50 basis points

Q1'26Delivered2025 adjusted noninterest expense up 1.5% to 3.5%
Came in at 2% growth with positive operating leverage
Q1'26DeliveredCapital markets quarterly revenue $90-105 million
Second-best year ever despite Q4 seasonality
Q1'26Delivered2025 deposits up low single digits
Achieved with strong customer acquisition while reducing costs
Q1'26MissedFull year 2025 average loans up low single digits
Loans were relatively stable vs 2024, headwinds from strategic runoff exceeded expectations
Q4'25DeliveredPositive operating leverage for full year 2025
Achieved 140 bps of adjusted positive operating leverage
Q4'25MissedCapital markets Q4 guidance $95-105 million range
Don't see Q4 actual disclosed but guiding 2026 to same range suggests miss
Q4'25DeliveredFull-year adjusted noninterest income growth 4-5% vs 2024
Delivered 5% growth despite Q4 seasonal decline
Q4'25PendingAnother $300 million portfolio runoff to work through in Q4
Claim 'most' is behind them but haven't confirmed the final $300M cleanup
Q4'25ExceededFull-year net charge-offs approximately 50 basis points
Came in at 47 bps for full year despite Q4 spike to 59 bps
Q4'25ExceededMeaningful decline in deposit costs in Q4 with CD maturities
Delivered 16 bps decline in interest-bearing deposit costs with 36% beta
Q4'25DeliveredNet interest margin to rebound into mid-360s in Q4

Q3'25ExceededCapital Markets income modest increase in $85-95M range for Q3 (Q2)

Delivered stable NII despite some headwinds
