# Citizens Financial Group Monitoring Guide






## What Did CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP INC/RI Last Report?

These are the starting values for the dashboard below, as CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP INC/RI reported them for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the year before. At the next filing, compare each current value with these and write down the direction before reading management's explanation.

| Reported measure | FY2025 | FY2024 | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Revenue | $8.2 billion | $7.8 billion | +5.6% |
| Net margin | 22.2% | 19.3% | +2.9 points |

Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. A change in a margin is stated in percentage points, so a margin moving from 20.0% to 23.0% is a gain of 3.0 points. "Not reported" or "n/a" means the company filed no value under the standard tag, not that the amount was zero.

- Net Interest Margin
- Average Loans

- Deposit Beta

- Net Charge-Off Rate
- Provision For Credit Losses
- Cet1 Capital Ratio

## Before earnings or a filing



Review the prior quarter's expectations, unresolved questions, and thesis breakers. Record what you expect to learn from the next filing without predicting a stock-price reaction. This prevents hindsight from rewriting the original thesis.








## After the filing



Start with reported statements, notes, and reconciliations. Update the dashboard, then read management discussion. Separate changes caused by volume, price, mix, currency, acquisitions, accounting, and one-time items. Reconcile cash flow and share count, not just earnings per share.








## Competitive check



Compare relevant evidence with **Fifth Third Bancorp, Huntington Bancshares, KeyCorp, M&T Bank, Regions Financial Corporation**. Determine whether a trend is company-specific or industry-wide. Use comparable definitions and periods.








## Macro check



Review Federal Reserve policy, yield curve, unemployment, credit spreads, loan demand, housing and commercial real estate. Only elevate a macro variable when there is a defensible channel into Citizens Financial Group's demand, pricing, costs, financing, or asset values.








## Change log



Maintain a dated log with four labels: **fact**, **interpretation**, **scenario**, and **unknown**. Link every time-sensitive factual change to a primary source. If a prior assumption is wrong, preserve the old entry and explain the revision rather than silently rewriting history.
