GREEN BAY, Wis.
, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE: ASB) (“Associated” or “Company”) today reported net income available to common equity (“earnings”) of $99 million, or $0.59 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. These amounts compare to a loss of $164 million, or $1.03 per common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and earnings of $78 million, or $0.52 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
“2025 is off to a strong start at Associated Bank,” said President and CEO Andy Harmening. “During the first quarter, we achieved several key milestones of our strategic plan, completing our commercial expansion, achieving a record-high net promoter score, and finalizing the balance sheet repositioning we announced in December. Importantly, the emerging momentum from our initiatives helped us deliver another strong financial quarter, with over $500 million in loan and deposit growth, 16 basis points of margin expansion, ten basis points of CET1 capital accretion and solid credit quality trends.”
“The current macroeconomic environment has added an element of uncertainty for the industry, but here at Associated, we’re entering this period of uncertainty with the major investments in our strategic plan completed, a strengthened profitability profile, a solid capital position, and a foundational discipline on credit and risk management. We continue to feel well-positioned to deliver enhanced value for our stakeholders in 2025.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
First quarter 2025 net interest income of $286 million increased $16 million from the prior quarter and increased $28 million from the same period last year. The net interest margin increased to 2.97%, reflecting a 16 basis point increase from the prior quarter and an 18 basis point increase from the same period last year.

- The net free funds benefit for the first quarter of 2025 decreased 6 basis points from the prior quarter and decreased 12 basis points from the same period last year to 0.58%.
We continue to expect total net interest income growth of 12% to 13% in 2025.
Noninterest Income
First quarter 2025 total noninterest income of $59 million increased $266 million from the prior quarter and decreased $6 million, or 10%, from the same period last year. The increase relative to the prior quarter was primarily driven by nonrecurring items recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 as a result of the balance sheet repositioning announced in December of 2024. The decrease relative to the same period last year was primarily driven by a $7 million loss related to the settlement of the mortgage sale announced in December of 2024. With respect to first quarter 2025 noninterest income line items:
- The Company recognized a small investment securities net gain in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to a $148 million net loss in the prior quarter and a $4 million net gain in the same period last year. The loss in the prior quarter was primarily driven by a net loss on a sale of investments recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 as a result of the balance sheet repositioning announced in December of 2024.
- The Company incurred a loss on mortgage portfolio sale of $7 million in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to a $130 million loss in the prior quarter and no loss in the same period last year. The current and prior quarter losses were driven by the mortgage portfolio sale as a result of the balance sheet repositioning announced in December of 2024.
- Capital markets, net decreased $5 million from the prior quarter and increased slightly from the same period last year.
- Wealth management fees decreased $2 million from the prior quarter and increased $1 million from the same period last year.
- Card-based fees decreased $2 million from the prior quarter and decreased $1 million from the same period last year.
After adjusting to exclude the fourth quarter 2024 and first quarter 2025 impacts of the mortgage and investment securities sales we announced in December 2024, we continue to expect total noninterest income growth of between 0% and 1% in 2025.
Noninterest Expense
First quarter 2025 total noninterest expense of $211 million decreased $14 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by a $14 million expense for a loss on prepayments of FHLB advances recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 as a result of the balance sheet repositioning announced in December of 2024, and increased $13 million from the same period last year. With respect to first quarter 2025 noninterest expense line items:
- Personnel expense decreased $2 million from the prior quarter and increased $5 million from the same period last year.
- Occupancy expense increased $1 million from the prior quarter and increased $2 million from the same period last year.
- FDIC assessment expense increased $1 million from the prior quarter and decreased $4 million from the same period last year.
- Other noninterest expense increased $1 million from the prior quarter and increased $7 million from the same period last year.
After adjusting to exclude the $14 million impact of the loss on prepayments of FHLB advances recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024, we continue to expect total noninterest expense to grow by 3% to 4% in 2025.
Taxes
First quarter 2025 tax expense was $19 million compared to a $16 million tax benefit in the prior quarter and $20 million of tax expense in the same period last year. First quarter 2025 tax expense included a $6 million benefit from a partial release of a valuation allowance on deferred taxes. The tax benefit recognized in the prior quarter was primarily driven by a loss on income before income taxes as a result of nonrecurring items associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced in December 2024. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was 16.0% compared to an effective tax rate of 19.8% in the same period last year.
We continue to expect the annual effective tax rate to be between 19% and 21% in 2025.
Credit
First quarter 2025 provision for credit losses on loans was $13 million, compared to a provision of $17 million in the prior quarter and a provision of $24 million in the same period last year. With respect to first quarter 2025 credit quality:
- Nonaccrual loans of $135 million increased $12 million from the prior quarter and decreased $44 million from the same period last year. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio was 0.44% in the first quarter, up from 0.41% in the prior quarter and down from 0.60% in the same period last year.
- First quarter 2025 net charge offs of $9 million decreased compared to net charge offs of $12 million in the prior quarter and decreased compared to net charge offs of $22 million in the same period last year.
- The allowance for credit losses on loans (ACLL) of $407 million increased $4 million compared to the prior quarter and increased $19 million compared to the same period last year. The ACLL to total loans ratio was 1.34% in the first quarter, down from 1.35% in the prior quarter and up from 1.31% in the same period last year.
In 2025, we continue to expect to adjust provision to reflect changes to risk grades, economic conditions, loan volumes, and other indications of credit quality.
Capital
The Company’s capital position remains strong, with a CET1 capital ratio of 10.11% at March 31, 2025. The Company’s capital ratios continue to be in excess of the Basel III “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks on a fully phased in basis.

|
(a) |
These capital measurements are used by management, regulators, investors, and analysts to assess, monitor, and compare the quality and composition of our capital with the capital of other financial services companies. |
|
(b) |
The ratio tangible common equity to tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, net. This financial measure has been included as it is considered to be a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and strength. |
|
(c) |
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income available to common equity, which are used in the calculation of return on average tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity, respectively, add back other intangible amortization, net of tax. |
|
(d) |
The Corporation is not classified as an advanced approaches holding company as defined by the Federal Reserve. As such, the Corporation has elected to be subject to the AOCI-related adjustments when calculating common equity tier 1 capital which allows the Corporation to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of AOCI in common equity tier 1 capital. This adjustment reflects that election. |
|
(e) |
Management believes this measure is meaningful because it reflects adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators, and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of earnings per common share, provide greater understanding of ongoing operations, and enhance comparability of results with prior periods. |
