The applicable income tax expense was $186 million and $192 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $519 million and $470 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 22.0% and 22.7%, respectively, and 22.2% and 21.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

While it is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits with respect to certain of the Bancorp’s uncertain tax positions could increase or decrease during the next twelve months, the Bancorp believes it is unlikely that its unrecognized tax benefits will change by a material amount during the next twelve months.
