First quarter 2024 vs. fourth quarter 2023

Period-end interest-earning assets of $195.8 billion decreased $1.2 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $3.0 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale, partly offset by a $1.1 billion increase in investments in securities and a $654 million increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in loans and leases reflects a $1.6 billion decrease in commercial given balance sheet optimization actions, paydowns and market conditions driving lower client demand. Results also reflect a $1.1 billion decrease in retail, given planned Non-Core portfolio run off.

Average interest-earning assets of $200.1 billion decreased $3.1 billion, or 2%, reflecting a $3.1 billion decrease in total loans and leases and a $2.1 billion decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits, partly offset by a $2.4 billion increase in investments. The decrease in loans and leases reflects a $2.2 billion decrease in commercial given paydowns, balance sheet optimization actions and market conditions driving lower client demand, as well as a $911 million decrease in retail driven by the Non-Core portfolio run off.

The average effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.8 years, compared with 3.9 years at December 31, 2023 and 5.8 years at March 31, 2023.

First quarter 2024 vs. first quarter 2023

Period-end interest-earning assets of $195.8 billion decreased $2.7 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $12.8 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale, partly offset by a $6.2 billion increase in investments in securities and a $3.9 billion increase in investments in cash held in interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in loans and leases reflects an $8.0 billion decrease in commercial given paydowns, balance sheet optimization actions and lower client demand, and a $3.5 billion decrease in retail driven by the Non-Core portfolio run off largely offset by growth in mortgage and home equity.

Average interest-earning assets of $200.1 billion decreased $2.5 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $11.8 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale, partially offset by a $5.0 billion increase in investments in securities and a $4.4 billion increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits.

First quarter 2024 vs. fourth quarter 2023

Total period-end deposits of $176.4 billion and average deposits of $176.1 billion were down slightly, reflecting seasonal declines in Commercial, partially offset by growth in the Private Bank and retail branch deposits.

The mix of deposits reflect a declining rate of migration from demand to interest-bearing and low-cost to high-cost interest bearing accounts. Checking with interest increased $2.6 billion on a period-end basis reflecting a transfer from money market and growth in Commercial.

First quarter 2024 vs. first quarter 2023

Total period-end deposits of $176.4 billion increased 2% and average deposits of $176.1 billion increased 1%, reflecting growth in retail branch and Private Bank deposits. Commercial deposits were stable on a spot basis, down 6% on an average basis reflecting deposit optimization initiatives.

First quarter 2024 vs. fourth quarter 2023

Period-end borrowed funds decreased by $159 million. Senior debt increased by $1.2 billion and collateralized borrowings on auto loans increased by $837 million, reflecting attractive issuances, with proceeds used to deliver a net decrease of $1.8 billion in FHLB advances and $496 million in short-term borrowings.

Average borrowed funds decreased $2.0 billion. Senior debt increased by $896 million and collateralized borrowings on auto loans increased by $554 million, driven by issuances. Proceeds from these issuances, along with Non-Core run off drove a net decrease of $3.5 billion in FHLB advances.

First quarter 2024 vs. first quarter 2023

Period-end borrowed funds decreased by $6.1 billion, primarily due to a decrease in FHLB advances of $9.7 billion and a $1.0 billion decrease in short-term borrowed funds. Run off of the Non-Core portfolio and debt issuances drove the lower FHLB borrowing need.

Average borrowed funds decreased by $4.2 billion, reflecting a $8.1 billion decrease in FHLB advances. Run off of the Non-Core portfolio and debt issuances drove the lower FHLB borrowing need.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures denoted as Underlying. Underlying results for any given reporting period exclude certain items that may occur in that period which Management does not consider indicative of the Company’s on-going financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by our Management to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe our Underlying results in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance in that period and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. We further believe the presentation of Underlying results increases comparability of period-to-period results. See the following pages for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by such companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “targets,” “initiatives,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “prospects,” “outlook,” “guidance” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.”

Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management, and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:

•Negative economic, business and political conditions, including as a result of the interest rate environment, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages, that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits;

•The general state of the economy and employment, as well as general business and economic conditions, and changes in the competitive environment;

•Our capital and liquidity requirements under regulatory standards and our ability to generate capital and liquidity on favorable terms;

•The effect of changes in our credit ratings on our cost of funding, access to capital markets, ability to market our securities, and overall liquidity position;

•The effect of changes in the level of commercial and consumer deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;

•Our ability to implement our business strategy, including the cost savings and efficiency components, and achieve our financial performance goals, including the anticipated benefits of the Private Bank start-up investment and Investors acquisition;

•The effects of geopolitical instability, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, on economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures and the interest rate environment, commodity price and foreign exchange rate volatility, and heightened cybersecurity risks;

•Our ability to meet heightened supervisory requirements and expectations;

•Liabilities and business restrictions resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations;

•The effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale;

•Changes in interest rates and market liquidity, as well as the magnitude of such changes, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets;

•Financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses;

•Environmental risks, such as physical or transition risks associated with climate change, and social and governance risks, that could adversely affect our reputation, operations, business, and customers;

•A failure in or breach of our compliance with laws, as well as operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks; and

•Management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.

In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the actual amounts and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions, and regulatory considerations, as well as any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares from or pay any dividends to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or dividends.

More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note: Per share amounts and ratios presented in this document are calculated using whole dollars.
