COLUMBUS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2024. "Over the past year, Synovus has successfully implemented our relationship-building strategies, resulting in strong growth across core commercial lending, deposits and key fee-producing businesses. We maintained strict control over operating expenses, saw improvements in loan losses and increased our Common Equity Tier 1 ratio1 to the highest level in over 10 years. This momentum, as well as our financial position and accelerated growth orientation, positions us well for continued success in 2025 and beyond,” said Synovus Chairman, CEO and President Kevin Blair.
2024 Highlights
- Net income available to common shareholders for 2024 was $439.6 million, or $3.03 per diluted share, compared to $507.8 million, or $3.46 per diluted share in 2023. Adjusted EPS was $4.43 per diluted share compared to $4.12 per diluted share in 2023.
- A $6 million FDIC special assessment incurred in 2024 reduced reported and adjusted EPS by $0.03, while a $51 million FDIC special assessment impacted 2023 reported and adjusted EPS by $0.26.
- Pre-provision net revenue was $741.6 million in 2024 compared to $885.2 million in 2023, primarily attributable to lower non-interest revenue from a $257 million securities loss in the second quarter 2024.
- Net interest income was $1.75 billion in 2024, down from $1.82 billion in the prior year, largely due to a decline in loan balances.
- Period-end loans declined $795.5 million, or 2%, in 2024 as line utilization declined, payoffs increased and non-relationship credits were rationalized.
- Period-end deposits increased $356.2 million, or 1%, primarily driven by growth in time deposits, money market, interest-bearing demand deposits and public funds, partially offset by a decline in non-interest-bearing deposits. Brokered deposits declined $1.17 billion, or 19%, in 2024.
- Non-interest revenue was $239.6 million, down 41% from 2023, primarily from a $257 million securities loss in the second quarter 2024. However, adjusted non-interest revenue of $490.4 million grew 6% in 2024, primarily attributable to Treasury Management fees, Capital Markets income and Wealth revenue, as well as revenue from Commercial Sponsorship fees.
- Non-interest expense was $1.25 billion, down 7%, while adjusted non-interest expense declined 3% year over year in 2024 to $1.23 billion, primarily due to a $51 million FDIC special assessment incurred in fourth quarter 2023.
- Credit quality remains healthy. Net charge-offs were 0.31% of average loans compared to 0.35% in 2023. The provision for credit losses declined to $136.7 million in 2024 compared to $189.1 million in the prior year. The allowance for credit losses ended the year at 1.27% compared to 1.24% at the end of 2023.
- The year-end CET1 ratio1 increased 62 basis points year over year to 10.84%.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Net income available to common shareholders was $178.8 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, up 6% sequentially, and up sharply from $60.6 million in the fourth quarter 2023.
- Pre-provision net revenue of $271.3 million increased $20.2 million, or 8%, sequentially and was up $135.4 million, or 100%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023.
- Net interest income increased $14.3 million, or 3%, compared to the prior quarter and was up $17.8 million, or 4%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023, primarily attributable to lower funding costs. Net interest margin was 3.28%, which was up from the prior quarter supported by lower funding costs and loan hedge maturities as well as a non-recurring favorable interest adjustment which impacted the NIM by 4 basis points.
- Period-end loans declined $512 million, or 1%, from the third quarter, as loan production, excluding secondary mortgage, was more than offset by lower line utilization, higher loan payoffs and strategic declines in non-relationship syndicated lending and third-party consumer lending.
- Core deposits, which excludes brokered deposits, increased $1.13 billion, or 3%, sequentially. Total deposits ended the quarter at $51.10 billion, an increase of $901.6 million or 2% sequentially, as a result of the focus on deposit production, public funds seasonality and middle market deposit growth. Total deposit costs declined 26 basis points from the third quarter 2024 to 2.46%.
- Non-interest revenue of $125.6 million rose 1% from the third quarter and increased $74.1 million, or 144%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023. Adjusted non-interest revenue of $124.6 million increased $2.7 million, or 2%, sequentially and fell $1.5 million, or 1%, compared to the fourth quarter 2023. Core Banking fees, Wealth revenue and Capital Markets income drove sequential growth in non-interest revenue. Year over year growth in Treasury Management fees, Capital Markets income, and Wealth revenue was outweighed by elevated Commercial Sponsorship fees in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Non-interest expense of $309.3 million was down $4.4 million, or 1% sequentially. Adjusted non-interest expense increased 2% sequentially to $309.0 million. Compared to the prior year, non-interest expense and adjusted non-interest expense were both down 12% as a result of the $51 million FDIC special assessment in 2023. Headcount declined 2% year over year.
- Credit quality ratios remain healthy. The non-performing loan and asset ratios were both stable at 0.73%; the net charge-off ratio for the quarter was 0.26%, and total past dues were 0.26% of total loans outstanding.
- Provision for credit losses was $32.9 million, up $9.4 million sequentially and down from $45.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses ratio (to loans) of 1.27% was up 3 basis points sequentially and compared to the prior year.
- The CET1 ratio1 increased sequentially to 10.84% as strong earnings accretion more than offset approximately $50 million in common share repurchases during the fourth quarter.

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 December 31, 2023, 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.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The measures entitled adjusted net income available to common shareholders; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted non-interest revenue, adjusted non-interest expense; adjusted revenue taxable equivalent (TE); adjusted tangible efficiency ratio; adjusted pre-provision net revenue (PPNR); adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average common equity; return on average tangible common equity; adjusted return on average tangible common equity; and tangible common equity ratio are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are net income available to common shareholders; diluted earnings per share; total non-interest revenue; total non-interest expense; total revenue; efficiency ratio-TE; PPNR; return on average assets; return on average common equity; and the ratio of total Synovus Financial Corp. shareholders' equity to total assets, respectively.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management and investors in evaluating Synovus’ operating results, financial strength, the performance of its business, and the strength of its capital position. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as additional views of the way our financial measures are affected by significant items and other factors, and since they are not required to be uniformly applied, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies. Adjusted net income available to common shareholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, and adjusted return on average common equity are measures used by management to evaluate operating results exclusive of items that are not indicative of ongoing operations and impact period-to-period comparisons. Adjusted non-interest revenue and adjusted revenue (TE) are measures used by management to evaluate non-interest revenue and total revenue exclusive of net investment securities gains (losses), fair value adjustments on non-qualified deferred compensation and other items not indicative of ongoing operations that could impact period-to-period comparisons. Adjusted non-interest expense and the adjusted tangible efficiency ratio are measures utilized by management to measure the success of expense management initiatives focused on reducing recurring controllable operating costs. Return on average tangible common equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity are measures used by management to compare Synovus’ performance with other financial institutions because it calculates the return available to common shareholders without the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization, thereby allowing management to evaluate the performance of the business consistently. Adjusted PPNR is used by management to evaluate PPNR exclusive of items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations and impact period-to-period comparisons. The tangible common equity ratio is used by stakeholders to assess our capital position. The computations of these measures are set forth in the tables below.
