Damian Kozlowski, CEO of The Bancorp, Inc.

“It was a very eventful quarter for The Bancorp. We continued with strong momentum in Fintech and took actions to support future growth and increasing productivity and efficiency. I remain confident that we are well positioned to maintain our market-leading profitability and competitive position, while we continue to build and enhance our one-of-a-kind fintech ecosystem and franchise. We are maintaining Core EPS((1)) guidance in the range of $5.95-$6.05 a share for 2026((2)), and providing a Core EPS((1)) baseline range of $7.00 - $7.20 a share for 2027. In addition, we are initiating preliminary Core EPS((1)) guidance for 2028 of $8.00 - $8.20 a share. Our guidance in 2026, 2027 and 2028 includes stock buybacks. We expect to repurchase $200 million of shares in 2026, or $50 million a quarter. We are currently targeting buyback amounts for 2027 through Q1 2028 to be approximately 100% of Adjusted net income((1)). We expect our three major Fintech initiatives along with platform efficiency and productivity gains from our organizational restructuring and adoption of AI tools, plus capital return through continued buybacks, will be the driving forces behind EPS accretion. EPS gains are subject to development and implementation timelines in Fintech, and our stock price for buybacks.”
