Regions Financial Corporation delivered a solid Q2 2024 with net income of $501 million and earnings per share of $0.52, as total revenue of $2.307 billion remained resilient despite a modest pressure in fee income. Management framed the quarter as an inflection point for net interest income (NII), aided by stabilizing deposits, higher asset yields, and securities repositioning. The company also highlighted disciplined expense management, with adjusted non-interest expenses down 6% sequentially, and an expanded capital plan supported by a CET1 ratio of 10.4%, ongoing share repurchases of $87 million, and a $0.25 quarterly dividend (up 4% vs. prior quarter). Asset quality improved with provision expense roughly equal to net charge-offs at $102 million and an ACL ratio of 1.78%, though Regions cautioned that net charge-offs could move toward the upper end of a 40β50 basis point range for 2024 due to a few large credits. The management commentary underscored confidence in a revenue and margin recovery through H2 2024, with NII expected to be at the upper end of the $4.7β$4.8 billion range and adjusted non-interest income at the high end of $2.3β$2.4 billion. Regions also outlined strategic investments in talent, technology and markets (notably Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Nashville, Orlando, Tampa) to position for accretive growth as macro conditions improve.
