ATB Financial Reports Exceptional Third-Quarter Performance

Fueling Growth with Targeted Strategic Acquisitions

EDMONTON, AB, Feb. 13, 2026 /CNW/ - Building on a year of impressive momentum, ATB Financial delivered standout results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The results were fueled by net income of $156 million for the quarter and significant expansion in its loan and deposit portfolios. The organization's total revenue rose 15.4 per cent year-over-year to $654.1 million. This banner period underscores ATB Financial's role as an engine for economic growth.

The strong performance was driven by an all-time high net interest income of $409.3 million. This growth was supported by a robust balance sheet, as net loans rose 12.8 per cent year-over-year to $60.5 billion and total deposits grew 12.3 per cent year-over-year to $48.9 billion. As Chris Turchansky steps into the CEO role, these robust results provide significant momentum, building on his previous success leading ATB Financial's largest revenue-generating divisions.

"Achieving record net interest income and double-digit growth in both loans and deposits is a direct reflection of the trust our clients place in us to help them achieve their goals," said Chris Turchansky, President & CEO of ATB Financial. "As I begin my tenure as CEO, I am inspired by the strength of our team of experts and our unwavering commitment of powering possibilities for the people and businesses that drive our economy forward."

Other income rose 20.2 per cent year-over-year to $244.8 million, driven by sustained strength in capital markets and wealth management. This record performance was anchored by ATB Wealth, which achieved a historic milestone by reaching $40.1 billion in assets under administration (AUA). Additionally, the capital markets team experienced significant growth, driven by the expanded scale, sector expertise, and national reach of the newly formed entity ATB Cormark Capital Markets.

"While we are celebrating a historic quarter, we are also clear-eyed about the future," said Turchansky. "Alongside our clients and communities, we are navigating a complex environment shaped by geopolitical tension and instability, the potential impact of evolving tariffs, and persistent affordability challenges. While we may not always see growth at this pace, our strong capital position and strategic foresight ensure we are well-positioned to support our clients through all market cycles with expert advice and personalized solutions."

With Alberta projected to lead economic growth within Canada, ATB Financial continues to provide the critical capital and advisory services necessary to diversify the economy and support the communities and businesses it serves.
