EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Acquisitions and Divestitures

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.

In March 2023, we closed the sale of our RPS business and entered into an ongoing partnership with the purchaser. The sale of our RPS business resulted in a $57 million gain including associated goodwill allocation, recorded within other noninterest income.

Summary of 2023 Third Quarter Results Compared to 2022 Third Quarter

For the quarter, we reported net income of $547 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, compared with $594 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, in the year-ago quarter.

Net interest income was $1.4 billion, a decrease of $36 million, or 3%, from the year-ago quarter. FTE net interest income, a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased $33 million, or 2%, from the year-ago quarter. The decrease in FTE net interest income primarily reflects a 22 basis point decrease in the FTE NIM to 3.20% and a $15.2 billion, or 13%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $6.9 billion, or 4%, increase in average earning assets.

The provision for credit losses decreased $7 million from the year-ago quarter to $99 million in the 2023 third quarter. The ACL increased $138 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.4 billion in the 2023 third quarter, or 1.96% of total loans and leases, compared to $2.2 billion, or 1.89% of total loans and leases. The increase in the total ACL was driven by a combination of loan and lease growth and increasing coverage levels that recognize the near-term recessionary risks.

Noninterest income was $509 million, an increase of $11 million, or 2%, and noninterest expense increased $37 million, or 4%, from the year-ago quarter. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $33 million increase from favorable mark-to-market on pay-fixed swaptions, included within other noninterest income, and additional increases in card and payments processing, bank owned life insurance, and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by decreases in capital markets fees and gain on sale of loans. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in personnel costs, deposit and other insurance expense, professional services, equipment expense and outside data processing and other services.

Total assets at September 30, 2023 were $186.7 billion, an increase of $3.7 billion, or 2%, compared to December 31, 2022. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by increases in interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of $4.9 billion, or 100%, and loans and leases of $1.3 billion, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in total investment securities of $2.4 billion, or 6%. Total liabilities at September 30, 2023 were $168.1 billion, an increase of $3.0 billion, or 2%, compared to December 31, 2022. The increase in total liabilities was primarily driven by increases in long-term debt of $3.1 billion, or 32%, and total deposits of $1.0 billion, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in short-term borrowings of $1.3 billion, or 66%.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 5.70% at September 30, 2023, up 15 basis points from December 31, 2022, driven by current period earnings, partially offset by dividends and AOCI impacts driven by higher interest rates. CET1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.10%, up from 9.36% from December 31, 2022. The increase in regulatory capital ratios was primarily driven by current period earnings and a decline in risk-weighted assets, partially offset by dividends and the CECL transitional amount.

Economy

During the recent quarter, inflation continued to trend lower while remaining at elevated levels above the Federal Reserve’s target. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates one time in July and paused in September to further evaluate the impact of their tightening and the overall health of the economy. The economy has continued to expand with second quarter 2023 GDP growth of 2.4%. Market volatility has picked up as the yield curve has steepened. Loan growth and deposits have stabilized across the banking sector and further banking regulation has been proposed with the release of amendments to the regulatory capital rule and long-term debt requirements for banks.

The consensus economic outlook assumes a slowdown over the next three quarters with a return to modest growth in the second half of 2024. Inflation is expected to continue to fall, approaching target levels of 2% by the third quarter of 2024, as the Federal Reserve actions will likely result in lower GDP growth and higher unemployment.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
