Associated Banc-Corp Reports First Quarter 2026 Net Income Available to Common Equity of $117 Million, or $0.70 per Common Share GREEN BAY, Wis., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE: ASB) ("Associated" or "Company") today reported net income available to common equity ("earnings") of $117 million, or $0.70 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. These amounts compare to earnings of $134 million, or $0.80 per common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and earnings of $99 million, or $0.59 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"After posting the strongest bottom line in company history in 2025, we maintained our growth momentum in the first quarter of 2026, with over $500 million in C&I loan growth, strong customer household growth, and steady credit performance," said President & CEO Andy Harmening. "We've also taken proactive steps to accelerate our growth trajectory in major metro markets by announcing several key hires, expanding our commercial presence, and closing on our acquisition of American National Corporation."

"As we look to the remainder of 2026, we're well-positioned to navigate the current environment thanks to the resilience and stability of our Midwestern markets, our enhanced profitability profile, a solid capital position, and our ability to attract and deepen relationships. We look forward to providing additional updates on Associated's growth journey along the way."
