Park National Corporation reports financial results
for first quarter 2026

NEWARK, Ohio ‒ Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE American: PRK) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026. Park's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.10 per common share, payable on June 10, 2026, to common shareholders of record as of May 15, 2026.

On February 1, 2026, Park successfully completed its previously announced merger transaction with First Citizens Bancshares, Inc. (“First Citizens”) through an all-stock transaction. Park's results for the first quarter of 2026 reflected the impact of merger-related expenses as well as an expanded income and expense base resulting from the transaction.

“Our strategy to combine solid financial performance with intentional growth through partnerships in high‑opportunity markets is delivering positive results,” said Park CEO and President, Matthew R. Miller. “Our expansion into Tennessee positions us to deliver even greater value across our communities while continuing to provide the personalized, relationship-driven banking our customers expect. We’re energized by the opportunity to expand our impact while staying true to our community banking roots.”

Park’s net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $41.7 million, a 1.1 percent decrease from $42.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter of 2026 included $15.5 million ($12.4 million after tax) in merger related expenses. First quarter 2026 net income per diluted common share was $2.39, compared to $2.60 for the first quarter of 2025.

Park’s total loans increased $1.62 billion, or 20.1 percent, during 2026. The increase to total loans included $1.58 billion in loans acquired through the First Citizens transaction. Park's total deposits increased $2.76 billion, or 33.4 percent, during 2026, with an increase of 31.8 percent including off balance sheet deposits. The increase in total deposits included $2.22 billion in deposits acquired through the First Citizens transaction. The combination of solid loan growth and steady deposits contributed to Park's success in 2026.

“Our performance is a direct result of the skill, dedication and empathy our colleagues bring to their work every day. Their commitment to serve customers and strengthen our communities defines our organization,” said Park Chairman, David L. Trautman. “We’re grateful to play a small role in the lives of those we serve.”

Headquartered in Newark, Ohio, Park National Corporation has $13.0 billion in total assets (as of March 31, 2026). Park's banking operations are conducted through its subsidiary, The Park National Bank. Other Park subsidiaries are Scope Leasing, Inc. (d.b.a. Scope Aircraft Finance), Park Investments, Inc., Park National Holdings, Inc., First Citizens Properties, Inc., First Citizens Risk Management, Inc., and SE Property Holdings, LLC.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income reconciliation is shown assuming a 21% corporate federal income tax rate. Additionally, net interest margin is calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis by dividing fully taxable equivalent net interest income by average interest earning assets, in each case during the applicable period.
