Huntington Bancshares reported second-quarter earnings per share of $0.33 and net income attributable to Huntington of $727 million, up 36% year on year, inclusive of $152 million of pre-tax notable items due to acquisition-related expenses.

EPS rose $0.08 sequentially but fell $0.01 year on year, the Columbus, Ohio-based lender said in its quarterly release on Thursday. Huntington completed the systems conversion of Cadence Bank in mid-June, which chairman, president and chief executive Steve Steinour called "the last major milestone in the integration".

#### ACQUISITIONS RESHAPE THE FOOTPRINT

The Veritex and Cadence acquisitions expanded Huntington's presence in Texas and the southern United States, and average commercial loans rose 59% year on year. Net interest income rose 40% year on year and noninterest income rose 67% to $785 million.

Net income rose 39% from the first quarter. The $0.01 year-on-year decline in EPS reflects a larger share count after the all-stock acquisitions and $152 million of pre-tax acquisition-related notable items; excluding notable items, adjusted EPS was $0.39, $0.01 higher than the adjusted figure a year earlier.

Huntington repurchased $159 million of common shares in the quarter. Steinour said the bank had "strong line of sight to the remaining cost synergies" and was "actively driving revenue synergies".

#### ORGANIC GROWTH ADDS TO THE MIX

Steinour said growth in Huntington's legacy organisation "was outstanding" and that the bank was "seeing early revenue synergies in Cadence markets". 

Net charge-offs were 0.25% of average loans, 1 basis point lower than in the first quarter.

"Our pipelines are robust as we enter the second half of 2026 and the operating environment remains constructive," Steinour said.
