From Tim Spence, Fifth Third Chairman, CEO and President: |
Fifth Third delivered another quarter of strong financial results reflecting our resilient balance sheet, diversified business mix, and disciplined expense management. We again generated positive operating leverage, delivered loan growth, and expanded net interest margin.
This environment of increased economic uncertainty has reinforced the importance of building a bank that produces strong through-the-cycle returns across a range of potential outcomes. Our balance sheet remains well-diversified and neutrally positioned. We remain proactive in managing our credit risk and stress testing our portfolio under many scenarios.
Our strategic investments continue to drive growth in consumer households and commercial relationships as well as year- over-year growth in commercial payments and wealth & asset management revenue. Our strong returns on capital enabled $225 million of share repurchases during the quarter and a 5% increase in tangible book value per share, excluding AOCI, over the past year.
As we navigate this environment, we will continue to follow our operating principles of stability, profitability, and growth – in that order.

Compared to the prior quarter, NII was stable, primarily reflecting higher average commercial loan balances, fixed-rate asset repricing and a combination of seasonal fluctuations and strategic deposit management actions decreasing the cost of interest-bearing deposits, offset by the impact of market rates on floating rate loans and lower day count. These same factors, coupled with the normalization of cash and other short-term investment balances contributed to the 6 bps increase in NIM.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII increased $52 million, or 4%, and NIM increased 17 bps. This year-over-year improvement was due to the benefits from proactive deposit and wholesale funding management decreasing interest- bearing liabilities costs by 56 bps and the benefit of fixed-rate asset repricing, which more than offset the impact of lower market rates on floating rate assets.

Noninterest income excluding certain items decreased $70 million, or 9%, compared to the prior quarter, but increased $4 million, or 1%, from the year-ago quarter.
Compared to the prior quarter, wealth and asset management revenue increased $9 million, or 6%, primarily due to seasonal tax-related revenue and increased customer transaction activity. Commercial payments revenue decreased $2 million, or 1%, primarily driven by seasonality. Capital markets fees decreased $33 million, or 27%, reflecting decreases in syndication and M&A advisory fees due to seasonality and market uncertainty. Commercial banking revenue decreased $29 million, or 27%, primarily reflecting decreases in lease syndication and remarketing.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, wealth and asset management revenue increased $11 million, or 7%, primarily reflecting an increase in personal asset management revenue due to AUM growth. Commercial payments revenue increased $8 million, or 6%, primarily driven by deposit fees. Consumer banking revenue increased $2 million, or 1%, primarily driven by deposit fees. Capital markets fees decreased $7 million, or 7%, reflecting a decrease in syndication fees and M&A advisory fees, partially offset by an increase in client financial risk management revenue. Commercial banking revenue decreased $5 million, or 6%, primarily reflecting the continued decrease in operating lease revenue, partially offset by an increase in lease syndication and remarketing. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $3 million, or 6%, due to the prior year loss on MSR net valuation adjustments not recurring in the current quarter.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items increased $86 million, or 7%, primarily reflecting a seasonal increase in compensation and benefits expense. Noninterest expense in the current quarter included a $4 million benefit related to the mark-to-market impact of non-qualified deferred compensation compared to a $7 million benefit in the prior quarter, both of which were largely offset in net securities losses through noninterest income.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items was stable. The year-ago quarter included an $11 million expense related to the mark-to-market impact of non-qualified deferred compensation, which was largely offset in net securities gains through noninterest income.
