**FIRST QUARTER 2026 EPS OF $1.50; ADJUSTED EPS OF $1.57**

STAMFORD, Conn., April 28, 2026 - Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster") (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A., today announced net income applicable to common stockholders of $239.3 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $220.4 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

First quarter 2026 results include Transaction expenses, strategic restructuring costs, and a benefit related to the FDIC special assessment. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings per diluted share would have been $1.57<sup>1</sup> for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

On February 3, 2026, Webster entered into a transaction agreement with Banco Santander, S.A. ("Banco Santander"), under which Banco Santander will acquire Webster in a cash and stock transaction (the "Transaction").

"Webster's financial results reflect our colleagues' commitment to execution amidst a dynamic economic environment," said John R. Ciulla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our proposed transaction with Banco Santander will enhance our ability to support our clients and the communities we serve, while unlocking new opportunities for growth. We are making significant progress planning for the integration of two highly complementary banking organizations."

Highlights for the first quarter of 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue<sup>2</sup> of $735.9 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Period end loans and leases balance of $57.2 billion, up $0.7 billion, or 1.2 percent from prior quarter

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Period end deposits balance of $69.0 billion, up $0.3 billion, or 0.4 percent, from prior quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provision for credit losses of $54.0 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Return on average assets of 1.16 percent

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tangible common equity ratio of 7.39 percent<sup>1</sup>

"Webster's distinctive franchise continues to produce strong profitability, capital generation, and growth," said Neal Holland, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Loans, deposits, and tangible book value per share exhibited solid growth both linked-quarter and year-over-year."

Under the terms of the transaction agreement, Webster's common stockholders will receive $48.75 in cash and 2.0548 Banco Santander ordinary shares, which will be delivered in the form of American Depository Receipts, for each Webster share. The completion of the Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of Webster stockholder approval and required regulatory approvals, and is anticipated to close in the second half of 2026. In light of the proposed Transaction with Banco Santander, Webster will no longer provide a forward-looking financial outlook.

**<u>Consolidated financial performance:</u>**

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $0.4 million, to $105.2 million, in the quarter as compared to a year ago.

Non-interest income decreased $3.0 million, to $23.2 million, primarily driven by lower investment services income and non-recurring gains from investment portfolio sales a year ago. Non-interest expense increased $3.6 million, to $126.3 million, primarily driven by higher compensation and benefits costs and operational support costs, partially offset by decreased investments in technology and lower occupancy and equipment costs.

Forward-looking statements are based on Webster's current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, and in many cases, are beyond Webster's control. Webster's actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Factors that could cause Webster's actual results to differ from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks related to the proposed Transaction with Banco Santander including, among others, (1) the risk that the cost savings, synergies, and other benefits from the acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Webster and Banco Santander operate; (2) the failure of the closing conditions in the Transaction Agreement by and among Webster, Banco Santander, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Webster providing for the Transaction to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the Transaction or the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could delay the Transaction or could give rise to the termination of the Transaction Agreement; (3) the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings or governmental inquiries or investigations that may be currently pending or later instituted against us, Banco Santander, or the combined company; (4) the possibility that the Transaction does not close when expected, or at all, because required regulatory, stockholder, or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis, or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Transaction); (5) disruption to the parties' businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Transaction; (6) the costs associated with the anticipated length of time of the pendency of the Transaction, including the restrictions contained in the definitive Transaction Agreement on the ability of the Company to operate its business outside the ordinary course during the pendency of the Transaction; (7) risks related to management and oversight of the expanded business and operations of the combined company following the closing of the proposed Transaction; (8) the risk that the integration of our operations with Banco Santander's will be materially delayed, or will be more costly or difficult than expected, or that the parties are otherwise unable to successfully integrate each party's businesses into the other's businesses; (9) the possibility that the Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (10) reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of Webster's or Banco Santander's customers, employees, vendors, contractors, or other business partners, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; (11) the dilution caused by Banco Santander's issuance of additional Banco Santander ordinary shares and corresponding American Depository Receipts in connection with the Transaction; (12) the possibility that any announcements relating to the Transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Webster's common stock, Banco Santander ordinary shares, and corresponding American Depository Receipts; (13) a material adverse change in Webster's condition or Banco Santander's condition; (14) the extent to which our or Banco Santander's businesses perform consistent with management's expectations; (15) Webster's and Banco Santander's ability to take advantage of growth opportunities and implement targeted initiatives in the timeframe and on the terms currently expected; (16) the possibility that the combined company is subject to additional regulatory requirements as a result of the proposed Transaction of expansion of the combined company's business operations following the proposed Transaction; Webster's ability to successfully execute its business plan and strategic initiatives, and manage any risks or uncertainties; continued regulatory changes or other risk mitigation efforts taken by government agencies in response to the risk to safety and soundness in the banking industry; volatility in Webster's stock price due to investor sentiment and perception of the banking industry; local, regional, national, and international economic conditions or macroeconomic instability (including any economic slowdown or recession, inflation, monetary fluctuation, tariff increases, interest rate changes, credit loss trends, unemployment, changes in housing or securities markets, or other factors) and the impact of the same on Webster or its customers; volatility, disruption, or

**<u>Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>**

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including the efficiency ratio, the return on average tangible common stockholders' equity, the tangible equity ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, tangible book value per common share, core deposits, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average tangible common stockholders' equity, adjusted return on average common stockholders' equity, adjusted pre-tax net income, adjusted net income applicable to common stockholders, and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the accompanying selected financial highlights table.

Webster believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information useful in understanding its financial position, results of operations, the strength of its capital position, and overall business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by Webster for performance measurement purposes, as well as for internal planning and forecasting, and by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to assess peer company operating performance. Webster believes that this presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides investors with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting its business and allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to management.

The efficiency ratio represents the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue and is calculated excluding certain non-operational items and certain non-recurring transactions or events. The return on average tangible common stockholders' equity is calculated using net income less preferred stock dividends, adjusted for the tax-effected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average stockholders' equity less average preferred stock and average goodwill and other intangible assets. The tangible equity ratio represents stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets ("tangible stockholders' equity") divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets ("tangible assets"). The tangible common equity ratio represents stockholders' equity less preferred stock and goodwill and other intangible assets ("tangible common stockholders' equity") divided by tangible assets. Tangible book value per common share represents tangible common stockholders' equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Core deposits reflect total deposits less certificates of deposit and brokered certificates of deposit. The adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average tangible common stockholders' equity, adjusted return on average common stockholders' equity, adjusted pre-tax net income, adjusted net income applicable to common stockholders, and adjusted diluted EPS are calculated excluding certain non-recurring transactions or events, which have been tax-effected, as applicable.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis financial measures. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these with other companies that present financial measures having the same or similar names. Webster strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.
