Pflugerville, Texas
Frost Bank has opened its 200th branch in Pflugerville, Texas, as part of a robust expansion strategy that commenced in late 2018. When the branch expansion effort began, Frost Bank had only 130 branches. This strategy has proven effective for the bank, particularly in light of its recent financial performance results.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2025, parent company Cullen/Frost Bankers Inc. announced earnings of $155.3 million, or $2.39 per share, on revenues totaling $567.8 million. This was a notable increase from the prior year when earnings were $143.8 million, with revenues reported at $528.8 million. Analysts had predicted earnings of $2.31 per share, illustrating better-than-expected performance from the bank.
The reported revenue growth can be attributed primarily to a 7.9% rise in interest income and a 5.5% increase in non-interest income compared year-over-year. Furthermore, Frost Bank’s average loan balance rose to approximately $21.1 billion, an increase from $19.7 billion in the same quarter last year. In the second quarter of 2025 alone, the bank added nearly $2 billion in new loan commitments, representing a 56% increase compared to the first quarter. This growth indicates that Frost Bank is effectively attracting new clients, particularly in establishing relationships with 1,060 new commercial clients, many of whom had previously banked with larger financial institutions.
Bankers surveyed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas have observed a resurgence in loan volume and demand in June, following a stagnant period in May. Although the outlook among bankers is mixed regarding future loan demand and business activity by the end of the year, there are rising concerns over increasing nonperformance rates. Currently, Frost Bank’s credit quality remains stable, with net charge-offs and non-accrual loans at manageable levels. The bank’s nonperforming assets have decreased from $85 million at the end of 2024 to $64 million at the end of the second quarter.
In terms of deposits, Frost Bank reported an average of approximately $41.7 billion in deposits during the second quarter, a rise from $40.3 billion in the same quarter last year. Despite these positive financial indicators, the bank’s shares fell by nearly 5% to close at $127.41 following the earnings report. Frost Bank currently holds $51.4 billion in assets, establishing it as the largest bank based in San Antonio and ranking among the top 50 largest banks in the United States.
The strategic expansion into the Pflugerville area and the growth of the bank’s branch network have been pivotal in enhancing its market presence. Initially, the branch expansion strategy focused on urban centers such as Houston, Dallas, and Austin, and is now positioned to reinforce Frost Bank’s competitive edge in the rapidly evolving banking landscape.
