Quarterly report, Q2 2026 filed 7 Aug 2026
The U.S. – Iran conflict continues to contribute to heightened volatility and supply concerns in global energy markets. Rising energy prices were a significant contributor to inflation, with the consumer price index reaching 4.2% on an annualized basis in May 2026 before declining to 3.5% in June as energy prices retreated. Despite ongoing geopolitical and policy uncertainty, global equity markets rebounded sharply during the second quarter of 2026, and the U.S. economy proved more resilient through the energy shock than many had anticipated. The labor market saw an unexpected rebound in job creation in the latter part of the first quarter and into the second, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.2% in June 2026. While energy prices likely hampered consumer spending, activity remained strong. Positive labor market and consumer spending indicators, coupled with continued business investments in artificial intelligence technology, drove real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 1.5% on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2026. In terms of monetary policy, the sharp rise in already persistent inflation has come to the forefront of the agenda. During the second quarter of 2026, the Federal Reserve announced no change in monetary policy and appears to have taken a hawkish position, emphasizing its commitment to price stability. As such, market expectations shifted in recent months from anticipation of multiple rate cuts in 2026 toward the notion that monetary policy could remain restrictive for a longer period.

AI – Artificial Intelligence
Standard wording or passing mentionDetail: GeneralSame as last year
Security risks for financial institutions such as ours have dramatically increased in recent years, in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, included but not limited to AI, that may be used by threat actors to perpetuate cyberattacks, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication, resources and activities of hackers, terrorists, activists, organized crime, and other external parties, including nation state actors. In addition, clients may use devices or software to access our products and services that are beyond our control environment, which may provide additional avenues for attackers to gain access to confidential information. Although we have information security procedures and controls in place, certain of our technologies, systems, networks, and clients’ devices and software have in the past and in the future likely will continue to be the target of cyber-attacks or information security incidents that could result in the unauthorized access, release, gathering, monitoring, use, loss, change or destruction of our or our clients’ confidential, proprietary and other information (including personal identifying information of individuals), or otherwise disrupt our or our clients’ or other third parties’ business operations. From time to time, we, like other financial institutions, become aware of information security vulnerabilities in software emanating from outside vendors and must take active steps to mitigate and prevent the potential exploitation of such vulnerabilities. Further, U.S. financial institutions and financial services companies will continue to face compromises in security of their websites or other systems, including ransomware attacks to shut down access to their networks and systems in an attempt to extract compensation from them to regain control. Financial institutions have also experienced, and will continue to be the target of, distributed denial-of-service attacks, a sophisticated and targeted attack intended to disable or degrade internet service or to sabotage systems.

The Company or its third-party (or fourth-party) vendors, clients or counterparties may develop or incorporate AI technology in certain business processes, services, or products. The development and use of AI presents a number of risks and challenges to the Company’s business. The legal and regulatory environment relating to AI is uncertain and rapidly evolving, both in the U.S. and internationally, and includes regulatory schemes targeted specifically at AI as well as provisions in intellectual property, privacy, cybersecurity, consumer protection, employment, and other laws applicable to the use of AI. These evolving laws and regulations could require changes in the Company’s implementation of AI technology and increase the Company’s compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance.

AI models, particularly generative AI models, may produce output or take action that is incorrect, that reflects biases included in the data on which they are trained, that results in the release of private, confidential, or proprietary information, that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others, or that is otherwise harmful. In addition, the complexity of many AI models makes it difficult to understand why they are generating particular outputs. This limited transparency increases the challenges associated with assessing the proper operation of AI models, understanding and monitoring the capabilities of the AI models, reducing erroneous output, eliminating bias, and complying with regulations that require documentation or explanation of the basis on which decisions are made. If these models fail to operate as intended, or if unintended outputs are relied upon for business decisions, we could experience operational errors, regulatory scrutiny, or reputational harm. Further, the Company may rely on AI models developed by third parties, and, to that extent, would be dependent in part on the manner in which those third parties develop and train their models, including risks arising from the inclusion of any unauthorized material in the training data for their models and the effectiveness of the steps these third parties have taken to limit the risks associated with the output of their models, matters over which the Company may have limited visibility. AI systems often rely on large volumes of data, including sensitive or proprietary information. The use, storage, and processing of such data could increase our exposure to cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection risks. Failure to properly safeguard data used in AI systems, or any real or perceived misuse of data, could result in unauthorized access, data compromises, regulatory actions, contractual liability, reputational harm, or loss of client trust. Additionally, limitations on our ability to access or use data, whether due to legal restrictions, contractual constraints, or changes in data availability, could impair the effectiveness of our AI tools. Any of these risks could expose the Company to liability or adverse legal or regulatory consequences and harm the Company’s reputation and the public perception of its business or the effectiveness of its security measures.

We are in the early stages of incorporating AI into our business activities to increase employee productivity. We have not yet deployed AI-driven systems in critical decision-making or client-facing processes. As noted above, our vendors or third parties may develop or incorporate AI technology in certain business processes, services, or products. Any reliance on AI presents a number of risks and challenges to our business. The legal and regulatory environment relating to AI is uncertain and rapidly evolving, both in the U.S. and internationally, and includes regulatory schemes targeted specifically at AI. On January 23, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order aimed at reducing barriers to AI innovation in the U.S. economy. The order requires relevant persons and bodies

These evolving laws and regulations could require changes in our consideration and implementation of AI technology and increase our compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance.

We are vulnerable to reputational harm because we operate in an industry in which integrity and the confidence of our customers are of critical importance. Our employees could engage in fraudulent, illegal, wrongful or suspicious activities, improper use or disclosure of confidential information and/or activities resulting in consumer harm that adversely affects our customers and/or our business. Misconduct may include circumvention of internal controls, unauthorized transactions, manipulation or misuse of customer information, violations of laws or regulations, failure to follow Company policies, or errors in judgment arising from inadequate training or supervision. The precautions we take to detect and prevent such misconduct may not always be effective, particularly as schemes become more sophisticated and as remote‑work arrangements, digital‑banking channels, and AI‑enabled tools introduce new avenues for potential misuse or concealment of activity. We may be exposed to regulatory sanctions and/or penalties, and serious harm to our reputation, financial condition, customer relationships and ability to attract new customers.

As a financial institution, we are inherently exposed to risk in the form of theft and other fraudulent activities by customers, employees, or other third parties targeting us or our customers or data. Such activity may take many forms, including check fraud, electronic fraud, wire fraud, phishing, social engineering, spoofing, and other dishonest acts. Although we devote substantial resources to maintaining effective policies and internal controls to identify and prevent such incidents, given the increasing sophistication of possible perpetrators, we may experience financial losses or reputational harm as a result of fraud. Fraud schemes have also evolved to leverage advanced technologies, including AI, which may increase the difficulty of detecting and preventing fraudulent activity. Further, as a result of the increased sophistication of fraud activity, we continue to invest in systems, resources, and controls to detect and prevent fraud. This will result in continued ongoing investments in the future.

Labor market statistics continued to indicate weakening that stemmed from policy uncertainty, labor force impacts of deportation efforts and the increasing use of artificial intelligence. Job gains decelerated substantially compared to 2024, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4% in December 2025 compared to 4.1% a year earlier. Despite deterioration in the labor market, consumer spending remained resilient and real gross domestic product (GDP) displayed growth of approximately 2.2% for 2025, rebounding from a net decline in the first quarter. The Federal Reserve held monetary policy steady for most of the year amid the difficult crosswinds. By September, some stabilization in inflation markers and sustained weakening in the labor market led to a 25 basis point interest rate cut. Operational disruptions and negative economic impacts of the 43-day government shutdown that followed shortly thereafter further clouded the economic picture, but the Federal Reserve subsequently issued two additional 25 basis point cuts in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the expectation that the adjusted rates will allow stabilization in the labor market and the resumption of downward trends in inflationary conditions.
