CEO Commentary

"We delivered outstanding financial results once again this quarter supported by strong business performance across our franchise and reflecting improved and diversified revenues. This was combined with well-managed expenses and yet another quarter of historically low net charge-offs reflecting our disciplined client selection, conservative underwriting, and improvement in the broader economy supported by government stimulus programs.

Commercial lending production trends and pipelines continue to indicate improved loan growth once supply and labor constraints normalize. To further accelerate profitable relationship growth over the long-term, we recently announced the acquisition of Provide, a leading fintech company serving healthcare practices.

Furthermore, we recently launched Fifth Third Momentum Banking, a consumer banking value proposition unparalleled in the industry, which combines the best of a traditional bank offering with several leading fintech features. We believe this will further accelerate our already-strong household growth and continue to provide a differentiated customer experience.

We remain focused on disciplined client selection, generating strong relationships and managing the balance sheet through varying cycles over a long-term performance horizon. We are well-positioned to benefit when interest rates rise and well-hedged if rates remain at low levels for several more years. As a result, we expect to generate and return a significant amount of excess capital to shareholders over the next year.”

         -Greg D. Carmichael, Chairman and CEO

Compared to the prior quarter, NII increased $32 million, or 3%. Results reflected the impact of purchases of GNMA loan buyouts associated with CARES Act forbearance plans from a third party ($3.7 billion purchased since December 2020, including $1.0 billion in April 2021), elevated investment portfolio prepayment penalties, higher day count, and the early redemption of long-term debt, partially offset by the impact of lower commercial loan balances and lower yields on loan balances. PPP-related interest income was $53 million, unchanged relative to the prior quarter. Compared to the prior quarter, NIM increased 1 bp reflecting elevated investment portfolio prepayment penalties, early redemption of long-term debt, and the impact of the aforementioned GNMA loan buyout purchases, partially offset by lower C&I loan balances and lower yields on loan balances. PPP and excess liquidity had a negative impact on NIM of approximately 49 bps in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 48 bps in the prior quarter. As a result, underlying NIM(f) expanded 2 bps sequentially.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII increased $8 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting lower deposit costs, the impact of the aforementioned GNMA loan buyout purchases, interest income from PPP loans, and a reduction in long-term debt, partially offset by lower C&I loan balances. Compared to the year-ago quarter, NIM decreased 12 bps, primarily reflecting the impact of excess liquidity, lower market rates, and lower commercial loan balances, partially offset by lower deposit costs.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest income excluding certain items increased $9 million, or 1%. Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest income excluding certain items increased $98 million, or 15%.

Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits increased $5 million, or 3%, reflecting an increase in both commercial and consumer deposit fees. Commercial banking revenue increased $7 million, or 5%, primarily driven by increases in loan syndication revenue and financial risk management revenue, partially offset by lower corporate bond fees. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $21 million, or 25%, reflecting an incremental $21 million unfavorable impact from MSR net valuation adjustments and an $8 million decrease in origination fees and gains on loan sales due to market pressures including margin compression. This was partially offset by an $8 million decrease in MSR asset decay reflecting slower prepayment speeds. Current quarter mortgage originations of $5.0 billion increased 7% compared to the prior quarter. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $2 million, or 1%, driven primarily by higher personal asset management revenue and brokerage fees, partially offset by seasonally strong tax preparation fees from the prior quarter. Card and processing revenue increased $8 million, or 9%, primarily driven by higher credit and debit interchange, partially offset by higher rewards. Leasing business revenue decreased $26 million, or 30%, primarily driven by strong lease syndication revenue from the prior quarter.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits increased $27 million, or 22%, reflecting an increase in both commercial and consumer deposit fees. Commercial banking revenue increased $23 million, or 17%, primarily driven

by increases in loan syndication revenue and M&A advisory revenue, partially offset by lower corporate bond fees. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $35 million, or 35%, primarily driven by an increase in MSR asset decay and a decrease in origination fees and gains on loan sales due to market pressures including margin compression. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $25 million, or 21%, primarily driven by higher personal asset management revenue and brokerage fees. Card and processing revenue increased by $20 million, or 24%, primarily driven by higher credit and debit interchange, partially offset by higher rewards.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest expense decreased $62 million, or 5%, reflecting the prior quarter seasonal compensation and benefits expense impacts, lower card and processing expense due to contract renegotiations, and diligent expense management throughout the company. These expense decreases were partially offset by increased performance-based compensation expense reflecting strong business results, higher other noninterest expense including the expenses associated with the aforementioned GNMA loan buyout purchases, and the impact of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market expense ($12 million in the current quarter compared to $7 million in the prior quarter). Full-time equivalent employees declined 2% compared to the prior quarter.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items increased $47 million, or 4%, primarily due to an increase in performance-based compensation expense reflecting strong business results and higher other noninterest expense including the expenses associated with the aforementioned GNMA loan buyout purchases, partially offset by lower card and processing expense and lower net occupancy expense.

Total average interest-earning assets	$184,918	$182,715	$176,224	1%	5%

Compared to the prior quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases were flat, as an increase in consumer loans was offset by a decrease in commercial loan and lease balances. Average commercial portfolio loans and leases decreased 1%, reflecting lower C&I term loan balances (nearly half of the sequential decline was due to PPP forgiveness), as well as lower commercial mortgage loans. Average consumer portfolio loans increased 1%, as higher indirect secured consumer loans were partially offset by lower home equity and credit card balances.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases decreased 8% reflecting lower C&I revolving line of credit utilization and term loan balances, as well as declines in home equity and commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by increases in indirect secured consumer loans and commercial construction loans. Average commercial portfolio loans and leases decreased 13% due to declines in C&I revolving line of credit utilization and term loan balances and lower commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by growth in commercial construction loans. Average consumer portfolio loans increased 1%, as higher indirect secured consumer loans were partially offset by lower home equity, residential mortgage, and credit card balances.

Average loans and leases held for sale of $6 billion in the current quarter increased $1 billion compared to the prior quarter and increased $5 billion compared to the year-ago quarter, impacted by the aforementioned GNMA loan buyout purchases within consumer loans held for sale ($3.7 billion purchased since December 2020, including $1.0 billion in April 2021).

Average other short-term investments (including interest-bearing cash) of $34 billion in the current quarter increased $1 billion compared to the prior quarter and increased $14 billion compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase relative to the year-ago quarter reflected average core deposit growth of 10% compared to average total loan decline of 4%.

Total period-end commercial portfolio loans and leases of $67 billion decreased 3% from the prior quarter driven by lower C&I term loan balances almost entirely due to PPP forgiveness, as well as declines in commercial construction and commercial mortgage loan balances. Compared to the year-ago quarter, total period-end commercial portfolio loans decreased $8 billion, or 11%, reflecting lower C&I revolving line of credit utilization and term loan balances partially due to PPP forgiveness, as well as lower commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by growth in commercial construction loans. Period-end commercial revolving line utilization was flat compared to the prior quarter at 31%, compared to 38% in the year-ago quarter. Period-end consumer portfolio loans of $41 billion increased 2% compared to the prior quarter, as continued growth in indirect secured consumer loans and residential mortgage loans were partially offset by a decline in home equity balances. Compared to the year-ago quarter, total period-end consumer portfolio loans increased $1 billion, or 3%, reflecting higher indirect secured consumer loan balances, partially offset by lower home equity balances.

Average commercial transaction deposits increased 1% and average consumer transaction deposits increased 5%.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, average core deposits increased 10%, driven by the impacts of fiscal and monetary stimulus combined with success generating consumer household growth. Average commercial transaction deposits increased 7% and average consumer transaction deposits increased 17%.

The Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 11.83%, the Total risk-based capital ratio was 14.60%, and the Tier I leverage ratio was 8.55%. Certain capital ratios, including the Tier I leverage ratio, continued to be impacted by the increase in assets since the onset of the pandemic, predominantly from 0% risk-weighted assets resulting from interest-bearing cash as well as PPP loans.

During the second quarter of 2021, Fifth Third repurchased approximately $347 million of its outstanding stock, which reduced common shares by approximately 8.6 million at quarter end.

On June 24, 2021, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) notified Fifth Third that its required stress capital buffer (SCB) beginning July 1, 2021 will be 2.5%, which is the floor under the regulatory capital rules. Without the floor, Fifth Third's buffer would have been approximately 2.1%.

Fifth Third's capital position and earnings capacity support an increase in the quarterly common dividend starting in the third quarter of 2021, subject to economic conditions and approval by the Fifth Third Board of Directors.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP measures, management considers various non-GAAP measures when evaluating the performance of the business, including: “net interest income (FTE),” “interest income (FTE),” “net interest margin (FTE),” “net interest rate spread (FTE),” “income before income taxes (FTE),” “tangible net income available to common shareholders,” “average tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity (excluding AOCI),” “tangible common equity (including AOCI),” “tangible equity,” “tangible book value per share,” “adjusted noninterest income,” “noninterest income excluding certain items,” “adjusted noninterest expense,” “noninterest expense excluding certain items,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income,” “underlying net interest margin,” “adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “efficiency ratio (FTE),” “total revenue (FTE),” "noninterest income as a percent of total revenue", and certain ratios derived from these measures. The Bancorp believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because these are among the measures used by the Fifth Third management team to evaluate operating performance and to make day-to-day operating decisions.

The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and securities held by the Bancorp that are not taxable for federal income tax purposes. The Bancorp believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and net interest margin as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

The Bancorp believes tangible net income available to common shareholders, average tangible common equity, tangible common equity (excluding AOCI), tangible common equity (including AOCI), tangible equity, tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity are important measures for evaluating the performance of the business without the impacts of intangible items, whether acquired or created internally, in a manner comparable to other companies in the industry who present similar measures.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income, noninterest expense, net interest income, net interest margin, pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, noninterest income as a percent of total revenue, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and return on average assets are important measures that adjust for significant, unusual, or large transactions that may occur in a reporting period which management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income excluding certain items and noninterest expense excluding certain items are important measures that adjust for certain components that are prone to significant period-to-period changes in order to facilitate the explanation of variances in the noninterest income and noninterest expense line items.

Management considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity and tangible common equity (including and excluding AOCI), in addition to capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies for both absolute and comparative purposes. These ratios are not formally defined by U.S. GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations and, therefore, are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that providing the tangible common equity ratio excluding AOCI on certain assets and liabilities enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity without the effects of changes in AOCI, some of which are uncertain; providing the tangible common equity ratio including AOCI enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity if components of AOCI, such as unrealized gains or losses, were to be monetized.

Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures.

Please see reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.

There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (1) effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic; (2) deteriorating credit quality; (3) loan concentration by location or industry of borrowers or collateral; (4) problems encountered by other financial institutions; (5) inadequate sources of funding or liquidity; (6) unfavorable actions of rating agencies; (7) inability to maintain or grow deposits; (8) limitations on the ability to receive dividends from subsidiaries; (9) cyber-security risks; (10) Fifth Third’s ability to secure confidential information and deliver products and services through the use of computer systems and telecommunications networks; (11) failures by third-party service providers; (12) inability to manage strategic initiatives and/or organizational changes; (13) inability to implement technology system enhancements; (14) failure of internal controls and other risk management systems; (15) losses related to fraud, theft, misappropriation or violence; (16) inability to attract and retain skilled personnel; (17) adverse impacts of government regulation; (18) governmental or regulatory changes or other actions; (19) failures to meet applicable capital requirements; (20) regulatory objections to Fif th Third’s capital plan; (21) regulation of Fifth Third’s derivatives activities; (22) deposit insurance premiums; (23) assessments for the orderly liquidation fund; (24) replacement of LIBOR; (25) weakness in the national or local economies; (26) global political and economic uncertainty or negative actions; (27) changes in interest rates; (28) changes and trends in capital markets; (29) fluctuation of Fifth Third’s stock price; (30) volatility in mortgage banking revenue; (31) litigation, investigations, and enforcement proceedings by governmental authorities; (32) breaches of contractual covenants, representations and warranties; (33) competition and changes in the financial services industry; (34) changing retail distribution strategies, customer preferences and behavior; (35) difficulties in identifying, acquiring or integrating suitable strategic partnerships, investments or acquisit ions; (36) potential dilution from future acquisitions; (37) loss of income and/or difficulties encountered in the sale and separation of businesses, investments or other assets; (38) results of investments or acquired entities; (39) changes in accounting standards or interpretation or declines in the value of Fifth Third’s goodwill or other intangible assets; (40) inaccuracies or other failures from the use of models; (41) effects of critical accounting policies and judgments or the use of inaccurate estimates; (42) weather-related events, other natural disasters, or health emergencies (including pandemics); (43) the impact of reputational risk created by these or other developments on such matters as business generation and retention, funding and liquidity; and (44) changes in law or requirements imposed by Fifth Third’s regulators impacting our capital actions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases. You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC for further information on other factors, which could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Copies of those filings are available at no cost on the SEC’s Web site at www.sec.gov or on our Web site at www.53.com. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. In this presentation, we may sometimes provide non-GAAP financial information. Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight to analysts, investors and regulators, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures. We provide a discussion of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in later slides in this presentation, as well as on pages 27 through 29 of our 2Q21 earnings release. Management does not provide a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Bancorp's control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, Bancorp's management is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
