AMERANT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA, April 23, 2026. Amerant Bancorp Inc. (NYSE: AMTB) (the “Company” or “Amerant”) today reported net income attributable to the Company of $17.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, or $0.44 earnings per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.07 earnings per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2025.
“Amerant's first quarter results reflect continued momentum in executing our strategic plan as we strengthen credit quality and position the bank for sustainable, long-term growth," stated Carlos Iafigliola, SEVP and Interim CEO. “During the quarter, we demonstrated proactive credit risk management, which led to balanced portfolio actions. We also continued to optimize our loan portfolio, including exiting certain large-exposure, out-of-footprint and criticized loans. In addition, we’ve maintained our focus on operational efficiency, delivering net income in line with our guidance, primarily driven by better than expected cost-savings and strong growth in lower-cost international deposits.”
Mr. Iafigliola concluded, “We are keenly focused on the long-term health of the business and demonstrating our ongoing commitment to stability and predictability. With strong fundamentals, a clear path forward, and a highly capable team, we are confident in our ability to deliver sustainable value for our customers, communities, and shareholders.”

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” including statements with respect to the Company’s objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. Examples of forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: our future operating or financial performance, including revenues, expenses, expense savings, income or loss and earnings or loss per share, and other financial items; statements regarding expectations, plans or objectives for future operations, products or services, and our expectations on loan recoveries, or reaching positive resolutions on problem loans, or significantly reducing special mention and/or non-performing loans. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “goals,” “outlooks,” “modeled,” “dedicated,” “create,” and other similar words and expressions of the future.
Forward-looking statements, including those relating to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, achievements, or financial condition to be materially different from future results, performance, achievements, or financial condition expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You should not rely on any forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. You should not expect us to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice, together with those risks and uncertainties described in “Risk factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed on February 27, 2026 (“the 2025 Form 10-K”), and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available at the SEC’s website www.sec.gov.
Interim Financial Information
Unaudited financial information as of and for interim periods, including the three month periods ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, may not reflect our results of operations for our fiscal year ending, or financial condition, as of December 31, 2026, or any other period of time or date.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company supplements its financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with non-GAAP financial measures, such as “pre-tax pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)”, "tangible common equity ratio", and “tangible stockholders’ equity (book value) per common share”. This supplemental information is not required by, or is not presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company refers to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures”.
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those mentioned above, both to explain our results to shareholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of our business. Management believes that these supplementary non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures permit investors to view our performance using the same tools that our management uses to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, this information should be considered as supplemental and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.
Exhibit 2 reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP reported results.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company reviewed and updated its use of non‑GAAP financial measures and now presents a limited set of metrics that management uses to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. As part of this update, the Company discontinued the presentation of “Core PPNR”, “core noninterest income”, “core noninterest expense”, “core net income”, “core earnings per share (basic and diluted)”, “core return on assets (Core ROA)”, “core return on equity (Core ROE)”, and “core efficiency ratio” as management determined these measures are no longer primary metrics used internally. This change does not reflect any change in the Company’s underlying business, operations, or GAAP financial results.
