Other than the Quarterly Financial Review tables beginning on page 14 of the earnings release, commentary is on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis unless otherwise noted. Consistent with SEC guidance in Regulation S-K that contemplates the calculation of tax-exempt income on a taxable-equivalent basis, net interest income, net interest margin, net interest rate spread, total revenue and the efficiency ratio are provided on an FTE basis.

ย 

ย 

From Tim Spence, Fifth Third Chairman, CEO and President:

Fifth Thirdโ€™s financial results once again reflected balance sheet strength, well-managed deposit costs, disciplined credit risk management, and diversified revenue streams. Expenses remain well-controlled and were down slightly year-over-year when excluding certain items.

Our balance sheet positioning and deposit performance provide flexibility in managing through a range of uncertain economic and regulatory environments. Our credit metrics remain below historical levels, with net charge-offs for the quarter in line with our expectations.

We continue to prudently invest in our strategic priorities as highlighted by strong growth in our treasury management fees and wealth and asset management revenue. We also extended our track record of strong organic growth, adding net new households in consumer and new quality relationships in commercial.

While the economic and regulatory environments remain uncertain, we remain well positioned to respond to a range of potential outcomes. We will continue to follow our guiding principles of stability, profitability, and growth โ€“ in that order.

Compared to the prior quarter, NII decreased $33 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting lower average commercial loans, the continued impact of the deposit mix shift from demand to interest-bearing accounts, and the impact of lower day count, partially offset by the increased yields on new production of fixed rate consumer loans. Compared to the prior quarter, NIM increased 1 bp, primarily reflecting higher loan yields and the impact of day count, partially offset by the deposit mix shift. NIM results continue to be impacted by the decision to carry elevated liquidity given the environment, with the combination of cash and other short term investments exceeding $25 billion at quarter-end.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII decreased $132 million, or 9%, reflecting the impact of higher funding costs and deposit mix shift from demand to interest-bearing accounts, partially offset by higher loan yields. Compared to the year-ago quarter, NIM decreased 43 bps, reflecting the impact of higher market rates and their effects on deposit pricing and the decision to carry additional cash, partially offset by higher loan yields.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items increased $93 million, or 8%, primarily reflecting a seasonal increase in compensation and benefits expense. Noninterest expense in the current quarter included a $15 million expense related to the impact of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market compared to a $17 million expense in the prior quarter, both of which were largely offset in net securities gains through noninterest income.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items decreased $15 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting decreases in leasing business expense and other noninterest expense (excluding the aforementioned certain items), offset by increases in net occupancy expense and marketing expense. The year-ago quarter included a $12 million expense to noninterest expense related to non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market (which was largely offset in net securities gains through noninterest income).

Compared to the prior quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases decreased 1%, primarily reflecting a decrease in commercial and industrial (C&I) balances driven by lower demand from corporate borrowers, partially offset by an increase in solar energy installation loans.
