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.

 

 

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

Fifth Third’s financial results once again demonstrated our resilient profitability, well-managed liquidity, and diversified revenue streams.

Our core deposit funded balance sheet generated improved net interest income and margin. Our strong liquidity position continues to provide flexibility to navigate through uncertain economic and regulatory environments. Our net charge-offs were as expected for the quarter and our nonperforming assets decreased.

We continue to invest in our Southeast expansion, Commercial Payments, and Wealth and Asset Management businesses, leading to continued strong acquisition of new quality relationships in commercial and consumer households. We remain disciplined in managing expenses, which were well managed from the prior year.

Our strong and stable returns resulted in achieving our capital targets during the second quarter, which enabled us to execute a $125 million share repurchase in June while continuing to grow our capital.

We remain well-positioned to respond to a range of economic outcomes and will continue to adhere to our guiding principles of stability, profitability, and growth - in that order.

Compared to the prior quarter, NII increased $3 million. Excluding the $5 million reduction related to the customer remediations, NII was up $8 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting the increased yields on new production of fixed-rate consumer loans and higher C&I loan yields, partially offset by lower average commercial loan balances and continued, but slowing, mix shift from demand deposits to interest-bearing accounts. Compared to the prior quarter, NIM increased 2 bps. Excluding the aforementioned customer remediations, NIM increased 3 bps, primarily reflecting the net benefit of higher market rates and higher loan yields, partially offset by commercial demand deposit runoff. 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 of approximately $24 billion at quarter-end.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII decreased $70 million, or 5%. Excluding the aforementioned customer remediations, NII decreased $65 million, or 4%, 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 22 bps. Excluding the aforementioned customer remediations, NIM decreased 21 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.

Noninterest income excluding certain items was stable compared to the prior quarter, and decreased $32 million, or 4%, from the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits increased $5 million, or 3%, primarily reflecting an increase in commercial payments revenue. Commercial banking revenue increased $1 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting increases in client financial risk management revenue and M&A advisory revenue, partially offset by a decrease in loan syndication revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $4 million, or 7%, primarily reflecting an increase in MSR asset decay, partially offset by an increase in origination fees and gains on loan sales. Wealth and asset management revenue decreased $2 million, or 1%, primarily driven by strong tax season-related revenue in the prior quarter, partially offset by an increase in personal asset management revenue. Card and processing revenue increased $6 million, or 6%, driven by an increase in interchange revenue.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits increased $12 million, or 8%, primarily reflecting an increase in commercial payments revenue. Commercial banking revenue decreased $2 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting decreases in client financial risk management revenue and loan syndication revenue, partially offset by an increase in corporate bond fees. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $9 million, or 15%, primarily reflecting decreases in origination fees and gains on loan sales and MSR net valuation adjustments. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $16 million, or 11%, primarily reflecting increases in personal asset management revenue and brokerage fees. Leasing business revenue decreased $9 million, or 19%, reflecting a decrease in operating lease revenue. Other noninterest income decreased $37 million, or 50%, due to equity fund and direct investment gains in 2023.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items decreased $86 million, or 7%, primarily reflecting a seasonal decrease in compensation and benefits expense. Noninterest expense in the current quarter included a $4 million expense related to the impact of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market compared to a $15 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 was flat, primarily reflecting decreases in leasing business expense and other noninterest expense (excluding the aforementioned certain items), offset by increases in compensation and benefits expense and marketing expense. The year-ago quarter included a $10 million expense related to the impact of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market, which was largely offset in net securities gains through noninterest income.
