Regions Is Well Positioned for a Rising Rate Environment as Revenue Outlook Improves in Q1

Eric Compton, CFA Senior Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Eric Compton, CFA |

No-moat-rated Regions Financial reported first-quarter earnings per share of $0.55, beating the FactSet consensus of $0.47, while revenue came in essentially in line with consensus of $1.6 billion. Overall, results were roughly as expected. As we have seen with its peers this earnings season, fee income declined (both sequentially and year over year) driven largely by weakness in mortgage income and capital markets income. Expenses fell 3% sequentially (up 1.5% year over year) as a decline in incentive-based compensation helped a bit, but the full-year expense outlook of 3%-4% growth remained unchanged.
