EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

In June 2021, Huntington closed the acquisition of TCF Financial Corporation. Historical periods prior to June 9, 2021 reflect results of legacy Huntington operations. Subsequent to closing, results reflect all post-acquisition activity. See Note 3 “Acquisition of TCF Financial Corporation” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Huntington’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

In May 2022, Huntington completed the acquisition of Torana, now known as Huntington Choice Pay, a digital payments business focused on business to consumer payments. This acquisition along with the formation of our enterprise-wide payments group reflects one of our strategic priorities to accelerate our payments capabilities and expand the services provided to our customers.

In June 2022, Huntington completed the acquisition of Capstone Partners, a top tier middle market investment bank and advisory firm. The transaction brings a national scale to serve middle market business owners throughout the corporate lifecycle, building on Huntington’s regional banking foundation. Capstone Partners related revenue, including mergers and acquisitions, capital raising and other advisory-related fees, is recognized within capital markets fees in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Summary of 2022 Third Quarter Results Compared to 2021 Third Quarter

For the quarter, we reported net income of $594 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, compared with $377 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, in the year-ago quarter.

2022 3Q Form 10-Q 5

Net interest income was $1.4 billion, up $244 million, or 21% from the year-ago quarter. FTE net interest income, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $245 million, or 21%, from the year-ago quarter. The increase in FTE net interest income primarily reflects a 51 basis point increase in the FTE NIM to 3.42% and a $4.9 billion, or 3%, increase in average earning assets. The year-over-year increase in NIM was driven by the higher rate environment driving an increase in loan and lease and investment security yields, partially offset by higher cost of funds. Average earning assets growth included a $7.3 billion, or 7%, increase in average loans and leases and a $6.7 billion, or 19%, increase in average securities, partially offset by an $8.3 billion, or 72%, decrease in deposits held at the FRB.

The provision for credit losses increased $168 million from the year-ago quarter to $106 million in the 2022 third quarter. The increase in provision for credit losses was primarily due to loan and lease growth. The ACL increased $25 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.2 billion in the 2022 third quarter, or 1.89% of total loans and leases, compared to $2.2 billion, or 2.01% of total loans and leases. The decrease in ACL as a percentage of total loans and leases reflects the overall improved credit performance of the loan and lease portfolio, while also recognizing the uncertainty in the near-term macroeconomic outlook. NCOs decreased $11 million from the year-ago-quarter to $44 million. Total NCOs represented an annualized 0.15% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, down from 0.20% in the year-ago quarter.

Noninterest income was $498 million, a decrease of $37 million, or 7%, and noninterest expense decreased $236 million, or 18%, from the year-ago quarter. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to decreases in mortgage banking income and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by an increase in capital markets fees. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a reduction in acquisition-related expenses of $224 million and execution of cost reduction initiatives associated with the TCF acquisition.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 5.32% at September 30, 2022, down 156 basis points from December 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in tangible common equity related to higher interest rates causing an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by undistributed earnings. CET1 risk-based capital ratio was 9.27%, down from 9.33% from December 31, 2021. The decrease in regulatory capital ratios was primarily driven by dividends, risk-weighted assets growth, and goodwill recognized, partially offset by earnings.

COVID-19

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Huntington maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Huntington’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Huntington’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022. Based upon such evaluation, Huntington’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, Huntington’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

In accordance with the instructions to Part II, the other specified items in this part have been omitted because they are not applicable, or the information has been previously reported.

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

Information required by this item is set forth in Note 16 “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption “Litigation and Regulatory Matters” and is incorporated into this Item by reference.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. In the first quarter of 2022, we identified the following additional risk factor:

Liquidity Risks:

Instability in global economic conditions and geopolitical matters, as well as volatility in financial markets, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Instability in global economic conditions and geopolitical matters, as well as volatility in financial markets, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The macroeconomic environment in the United States is susceptible to global events and volatility in financial markets. For example, trade negotiations between the U.S. and other nations remain uncertain and could adversely impact economic and market conditions for the Company and its clients and counterparties. In addition, global demand for products may exceed supply during the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and such shortages may cause inflation, adversely impact consumer and business confidence, and adversely affect the economy as well as the Company’s financial condition and results.
