Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

We are a multi-state diversified regional bank holding company organized under Maryland law in 1966 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Through the Bank, we are committed to making people’s lives better, helping businesses thrive, and strengthening the communities we serve, and we have been servicing the financial needs of our customers since 1866. Through our subsidiaries, we provide full-service commercial and consumer deposit, lending, and other banking services. These include, but are not limited to, payments, mortgage banking, automobile, recreational vehicle and marine financing, investment banking, capital markets, advisory, equipment financing, distribution finance, investment management, trust, brokerage, insurance, and other financial products and services. As of March 31, 2024, we have approximately 970 full-service branches and private client group offices which are primarily located in Ohio, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Select financial services and other activities are also conducted in various other states.

This MD&A provides information we believe necessary for understanding our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The MD&A included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with this MD&A as this discussion provides only material updates to the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information contained in this report.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Reporting Updates

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we updated the presentation of our noninterest income categories to align product and service types more closely with how we strategically manage our business. For a description of each updated noninterest income revenue stream, refer to Note 15 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Huntington’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we revised our FTP methodology for non-maturity deposits, which has been enhanced to consider the internally modeled weighted average life by non-maturity deposit type. In general, the impact of the FTP methodology revision resulted in a net higher cost of funds allocation as compared with the previous method.

To align with our strategic priorities, during the second quarter of 2023, we completed an organizational realignment and now report on two business segments: Consumer & Regional Banking and Commercial Banking. The Treasury / Other function includes technology and operations, and other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense. Huntington’s business segments are based on our internally-aligned segment leadership structure, which is how management monitors results and assesses performance. The organizational realignment primarily involved consolidating our previously reported Consumer and Business Banking, Vehicle Finance and RBHPCG, into one new business segment called Consumer & Regional Banking.

For the reporting updates discussed above, prior period results have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation.

(1)Net income applicable to common shares excluding expense for amortization of intangibles for the period divided by average tangible common shareholders’ equity. Average tangible common shareholders’ equity equals average total common shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets and goodwill. Expense for amortization of intangibles and average intangible assets are net of deferred tax liability and calculated assuming a 21% tax rate.

(2)On an FTE basis assuming a 21% tax rate.

(3)Noninterest expense less amortization of intangibles divided by the sum of FTE net interest income and noninterest income excluding securities gains.

For the first quarter of 2024, we reported net income of $419 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, compared with $602 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, in the year-ago quarter. The first quarter of 2024 reported net income was negatively impacted by the recognition of additional FDIC DIF special assessment expense totaling $32 million, or $25 million after tax ($0.02 per common share), based on updated FDIC estimates to recover the costs associated with the 2023 bank failures, and staffing efficiency related expense of $7 million, or $5 million after tax. The year-ago quarter reported net income was positively impacted by the sale of our RPS business resulting in a $57 million gain, or $44 million after tax ($0.03 per common share), and negatively impacted by voluntary retirement program and organization realignment expense of $42 million, or $34 million after tax ($0.02 per common share).

Net interest income was $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $122 million, or 9%, from the year-ago quarter. FTE net interest income, a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased $118 million, or 8%, from the year-ago quarter. The decrease in FTE net interest income primarily reflected a 39 basis point decrease in the FTE NIM to 3.01% and a $11.8 billion, or 10%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $4.7 billion, or 3%, increase in average earning assets.

The provision for credit losses increased $22 million, or 26%, from the year-ago quarter to $107 million in the first quarter of 2024. The ACL increased $116 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024, or 1.97% of total loans and leases, compared to $2.3 billion, or 1.90% of total loans and leases. The increase in the total ACL was driven by a combination of loan and lease growth and modest builds in overall coverage ratios that are reflective of the current macroeconomic environment and changes in various risk profiles intended to capture uncertainty not addressed within the quantitative reserve.

Noninterest income of $467 million, decreased $45 million, or 9%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the $57 million gain associated with the sale of the RPS business recognized in the year-ago quarter included within other noninterest income, and a decrease in capital markets and advisory fees, partially offset by increases in payments and cash management revenue and wealth and asset management revenue. Noninterest expense of $1.1 billion, increased $51 million, or 5%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned $32 million of FDIC DIF special assessment expense and an increase in outside data processing and other services.

Total assets at March 31, 2024 were $193.5 billion, an increase of $4.2 billion, or 2%, compared to December 31, 2023. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by increases in interest-earning deposits with banks of $2.5 billion, or 28%, total investment securities of $1.2 billion, or 3%, and loans and leases of $785 million, or 1%. Total liabilities at March 31, 2024 were $174.1 billion, an increase of $4.2 billion, or 2%, compared to December 31, 2023. The increase in total liabilities was primarily driven by increases in long-term debt of $2.5 billion, or 20%, and total deposits of $2.0 billion, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in short-term borrowings of $438 million, or 71%.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio decreased slightly to 6.0% at March 31, 2024, compared to 6.1% at December 31, 2023, primarily due to higher tangible assets and a change in AOCI driven by changes in interest rates, partially offset by current period earnings, net of dividends. CET1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.2% at both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as an increase in risk-weighted assets, driven by loan growth, and the CECL transitional amount, was offset by current period earnings, net of dividends.

General

Our general business objectives are to:

• Build on our vision to be the country’s leading people-first, digitally powered bank;

• Drive sustainable long-term revenue growth and efficiency;

• Deliver a Category of One customer experience through our distinguished brand and culture;

• Extend our digital leadership with focus on ease of use, access to information, and self-service across products and services;

• Leverage expertise and capabilities to acquire and deepen relationships and launch of select partnerships;

• Maintain positive operating leverage and execute disciplined capital management; and

• Provide stability and resilience through risk management, maintaining an aggregate moderate-to-low, through-the-cycle risk appetite.

Economy

Inflation remained high in the first quarter of 2024 while the labor market showed some signs of slowing, but remained strong overall. The Federal Reserve reiterates that data drives its interest rate policy. Until the data demonstrates that inflation will near the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, the Federal Reserve indicated that it is unlikely to take action to lower interest rates. The economy as a whole is doing well and consumer spending continues to surprise to the upside. Equity markets rallied in the first quarter of 2024 as the soft landing scenario looks more likely. Further banking regulation has been delayed with clarity on proposed amendment to the regulatory capital rule and long-term debt requirements for banks anticipated later in 2024.

The consensus economic outlook assumes a soft landing in the second half of 2024 to early 2025. Inflation expectations have risen, which has pushed expectations for the first Federal Reserve rate cuts to late 2024 or early 2025. The delay in rate cuts could eventually lead to lower GDP growth and higher unemployment.

2024 1Q Form 10-Q 9

Table of Contents

Quarterly Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 decreased $122 million, or 9%, from the first quarter of 2023. FTE net interest income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the first quarter of 2024 decreased $118 million, or 8%, from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in FTE net interest income primarily reflected a 39 basis point decrease in the FTE NIM to 3.01% and a $11.8 billion, or 10%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $4.7 billion, or 3%, increase in average earning assets. The lower NIM was primarily driven by higher cost of funds with the higher interest rate environment and an increase in deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank, partially offset by higher loan and lease and investment security yields.

Quarterly Average Balance Sheet

Average assets for the first quarter of 2024 increased $5.4 billion, or 3%, to $190.3 billion from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to increases in average interest-earning deposits with banks of $3.4 billion, or 54%, and average loans and leases of $1.5 billion, or 1%. The increase in average loans and leases was driven by growth in average consumer loans of $1.2 billion, or 2%, and average commercial loans and leases of $350 million, or 1%.

Average liabilities for the first quarter of 2024 increased $4.4 billion, or 3%, from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in average deposits. Average deposits increased $4.6 billion, or 3%, primarily due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $12.2 billion, or 11%, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits of $7.6 billion, or 20%. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to increases in average money market deposits and certificates of deposits, partially offset by decreases in savings and other domestic deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits.

Average shareholders’ equity for the first quarter of 2024 increased $982 million, or 5%, from the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to earnings.

Provision for Credit Losses

(This section should be read in conjunction with the “Credit Risk” section.)

The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 was $107 million, an increase of $22 million, or 26%, compared to the first quarter of 2023. The increase in provision expense over the prior year quarter reflects increased charge-off activity in the current quarter, primarily in the Commercial portfolio compared to the year ago quarter.

The components of the provision for credit losses were as follows:

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $467 million, a decrease of $45 million, or 9%, from the year-ago quarter. Other noninterest income decreased $56 million, or 89%, primarily due to a $57 million gain on the sale of our RPS business recognized in the first quarter of 2023. Capital markets and advisory fees decreased $9 million, or 14%, primarily due to lower advisory fees. Partially offsetting these decreases, payments and cash management revenue increased $9 million, or 7%, reflecting higher debit card transaction revenue and commercial treasury management revenue, and wealth and asset management revenue increased $8 million, or 10%, reflecting higher assets under management and fixed annuity commissions.

Table of Contents

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.1 billion, an increase of $51 million, or 5%, from the year-ago quarter. Deposit and other insurance expense increased $34 million primarily due to the recognition of additional FDIC DIF special assessment expense totaling $32 million based on updated FDIC estimates to recover the costs associated with the 2023 bank failures. Outside data processing and other services increased $15 million, or 10%, reflecting higher technology and data expense. Professional services increased $9 million, or 56%, largely due to an increase in consulting fees. Partially offsetting these increases, personnel costs decreased $10 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting a $35 million reduction in severance expense related to staffing efficiencies, partially offset by higher salary and benefit expense.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2024 was $86 million, compared to $144 million in the first quarter of 2023. Both periods included the benefits from general business credits, tax-exempt income, tax-exempt bank owned life insurance income, and investments in qualified affordable housing projects. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2023 were 16.8% and 19.2%, respectively. The variance between the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 provision for income taxes and effective tax rates related primarily to lower pretax income and discrete tax benefits, while the 2023 first quarter reflected the benefit of capital losses recognized.

The net federal deferred tax asset was $686 million, and the net state deferred tax asset was $114 million at March 31, 2024.

We file income tax returns with the IRS and various state, city, and foreign jurisdictions. Federal income tax audits have been completed for tax years through 2016. Also, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for tax years before 2019.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL

Risk awareness, identification and assessment, reporting, and active management are key elements in overall risk management. Controls include, among others, effective segregation of duties, access management, and authorization and reconciliation procedures, as well as staff education and a disciplined assessment process. We use a multi-faceted approach to risk governance. It begins with the Board of Directors, which has defined our risk appetite as aggregate moderate-to-low, through-the-cycle.

We classify/aggregate risk into seven risk pillars: credit, market; liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic, and reputation. More information on risk can be found in Item 1A Risk Factors below, the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC. The MD&A included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with this MD&A, as this discussion provides only material updates to the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information contained in this report. Our definition, philosophy, and approach to risk management have not materially changed from the discussion presented in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a counterparty is not able to meet the agreed upon terms of the financial obligation. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending. We also have credit risk associated with our investment securities portfolios (see Note 3 - “Investment Securities and Other Securities” of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements). We engage with other financial counterparties for a variety of purposes including investing, asset and liability management, mortgage banking, and trading activities. A variety of derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, caps, swaptions, swaption collars, floors, forward contracts, and forward starting interest rate swaps are used in asset and liability management activities to protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements. We also use derivatives, principally loan sale commitments, in hedging our mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. While there is credit risk associated with derivative activity, we believe this exposure is minimal.

We focus on the early identification, monitoring, and management of all aspects of our credit risk. In addition to the traditional credit risk mitigation strategies of credit policies and processes, market risk management activities, and portfolio diversification, we use quantitative measurement capabilities that utilize external data sources, enhanced modeling technology, and internal stress testing processes. Our disciplined portfolio management processes are central to our commitment to maintaining an aggregate moderate-to-low, through-the-cycle risk appetite. In our efforts to identify risk mitigation techniques, we have focused on product design features, origination policies, and solutions for delinquent or stressed borrowers.

Loan and Lease Credit Exposure Mix

Refer to the “Loan and Lease Credit Exposure Mix” section of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of each portfolio segment.

At March 31, 2024, our loans and leases totaled $122.8 billion, representing a $785 million, or 1%, increase compared to $122.0 billion at December 31, 2023.

The table below provides the composition of our total loan and lease portfolio:

Our loan and lease portfolio is a managed mix of consumer and commercial credits. We manage the overall credit exposure and portfolio composition via a credit concentration policy. The policy designates specific loan types, collateral types, and loan structures to be formally tracked and assigned maximum exposure limits as a percentage of capital. Commercial lending by NAICS categories, specific limits for CRE project types, loans secured by residential real estate, large dollar exposures, and designated high risk loan categories represent examples of specifically tracked components of our concentration management process. There are no identified concentrations that exceed the assigned exposure limit. Our concentration management policy is approved by the ROC and is used to ensure a high quality, well diversified portfolio that is consistent with our overall objective of maintaining an aggregate moderate-to-low, through-the-cycle risk appetite. Changes to existing concentration limits, incorporating specific information relating to the potential impact on the overall portfolio composition and performance metrics, require the approval of the ROC prior to implementation.

(1) Geographic location based on location of underlying collateral.

At March 31, 2024, our $12.3 billion CRE portfolio had an associated ACL of 4.6%. With remote work options leading to increased vacancy rates and underutilization of office space across the country, the office sector continues to be an area of uncertainty. Our office portfolio, which is predominantly suburban and multi-tenant loans, totaled $1.8 billion, or 1%, of total loans and leases, as of March 31, 2024. We have established ACL reserves of approximately 12% for our CRE office portfolio. At March 31, 2024, there was $76 million of outstanding balances in the office portfolio that were 30 or more days past due.

Credit Quality

(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 4 - “Loans and Leases” and Note 5 - “Allowance for Credit Losses” of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We believe the most meaningful way to assess overall credit quality performance is through an analysis of specific performance ratios. This approach forms the basis of the discussion in the sections immediately following: NPAs, NALs, ACL, and NCOs. In addition, we utilize delinquency rates, risk distribution and migration patterns, product segmentation, and origination trends in the analysis of our credit quality performance.

Credit quality performance in the first quarter of 2024 reflected NCOs of $92 million, or 0.30% of average total loans and leases, annualized, an increase of $35 million, compared to $57 million, or 0.19%, in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $26 million increase in commercial NCOs to $55 million in the first quarter of 2024. NPAs increased from December 31, 2023 by $27 million, or 4%, primarily driven by an increase in commercial NALs.

NPAs and NALs

Commercial loans and leases are placed on nonaccrual status at 90-days past due, or earlier if repayment of principal and interest is in doubt. Of the $540 million of commercial related NALs at March 31, 2024, $264 million, or 49%, represented loans and leases that were less than 30-days past due, demonstrating our continued commitment to proactive credit risk management.

ACL

The baseline scenario used in the March 31, 2024 ACL determination assumes softening of the labor market is underway and will continue through early 2025 causing the unemployment rate to gradually increase, peaking at 4.1% in 2025 before marginally improving to 4.0% by 2026. The overnight federal funds rate is forecasted to have peaked during the third quarter of 2023, remaining at this terminal level through mid-2024 as the Federal Reserve continues to address inflation levels and tightness in the labor market. The Federal Reserve is expected to complete a total of four 25 basis points cuts by the end of 2024. Further subsequent cuts of 25 basis points per quarter are expected in 2025 and 2026 until reaching 3% by the second half of 2026. Inflation is forecasted to drop from 2.9% in first quarter 2024, approaching the Federal Reserve target level of 2% by fourth quarter 2024. The GDP forecast for the second quarter of 2024 into 2025 is broadly consistent with year end, a result of elevated interest rates and tightening credit conditions. GDP is now forecasted to be 2.0% by the fourth quarter of 2025.

Management uses a probability-weighted approach that incorporates a baseline, an adverse, and a more favorable economic scenario when formulating the quantitative estimate for the allowance. The table below is intended to show how the forecasted path of unemployment and GDP in the baseline scenario has changed since the end of 2023:

Management continues to assess the uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, including ongoing risks in the commercial real estate environment, current inflation levels, political uncertainty, and geopolitical instability, considering multiple macroeconomic forecasts that reflect a range of possible outcomes. While we have incorporated estimates of economic uncertainty into our ACL, the ultimate impact of specific challenges in the commercial real estate industry, recent inflation levels, higher interest rates, and the significant conflicts on-going around the world will have on the economy remains unknown.

Management develops additional analytics to support adjustments to our modeled results. Our Allowance for Credit Loss Development Methodology Committee reviewed model results of each economic scenario for appropriate usage, concluding that the quantitative transaction reserve will continue to utilize scenario weighting. Given the uncertainty associated with key economic scenario assumptions, the March 31, 2024 ACL included a general reserve that consists of various risk profile components, including profiles to capture uncertainty not addressed within the quantitative transaction reserve.

Our ACL evaluation process includes the on-going assessment of credit quality metrics, and a comparison of certain ACL benchmarks to current performance.

The table below reflects the allocation of our ALLL among our various loan and lease categories as well as certain coverage metrics of the reported ALLL and ACL:

The ACL was $2.4 billion, or 1.97% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2024, consistent with December 31, 2023. The marginal absolute increase in the total ACL was driven by loan and lease portfolio growth during first quarter of 2024. The ACL coverage ratio at March 31, 2024 is reflective of the current macro-economic environment and changes in various risk profiles intended to capture uncertainty not addressed within the quantitative reserve.

Market Risk

Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices, including the correlation among these factors and their volatility. When the value of an instrument is tied to such external factors, the holder faces market risk. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk as a result of offering a wide array of financial products to our customers and secondarily to price risk from trading securities, securities owned by our broker-dealer subsidiaries, foreign exchange positions, equity investments, and investments in securities backed by mortgage loans.

Table of Contents

We measure market risk exposure via financial simulation models, which provide management with insights on the potential impact to net interest income and other key metrics as a result of changes in market interest rates. Models are used to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of the balance sheet based on assumptions regarding the slope or shape of the yield curve, the direction and volatility of interest rates, and the changing composition and characteristics of the balance sheet resulting from strategic objectives and customer behavior. Our models incorporate market-based assumptions that include the impact of changing interest rates on prepayment rates of assets and runoff rates of deposits. The models also include our projections of the future volume and pricing of various business lines.

In measuring the financial risks associated with interest rate sensitivity in our balance sheet, we compare a set of alternative interest rate scenarios to the results of a base case scenario derived using market forward rates. The market forward rates reflect the market consensus regarding the future level and slope of the yield curve across a range of tenor points. The standard set of interest rate scenarios includes two types: “shock” scenarios which are immediate parallel rate shifts, and “ramp” scenarios where the parallel shift is applied gradually over the first 12 months of the forecast on a pro rata basis. In both shock and ramp scenarios with falling rates, we presume that market rates will not go below 0%. The scenarios are inclusive of all executed interest rate risk hedging activities. Forward starting hedges are included to the extent that they have been transacted and that they start within the measurement horizon.

A key driver of our interest rate risk profile is our interest-bearing deposit repricing sensitivity assumptions to changes in interest rates, otherwise known as deposit beta. In addition, our interest expense is impacted by the composition of both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits in relation to our total deposits. Accordingly, we consider the impacts from both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits on our total deposit beta. Our cumulative to-date total deposit beta (total cost of deposits) is 43% within the current cycle, which started in March 2022.

We use two approaches to model interest rate risk: Net interest income at risk (NII at Risk) and economic value of equity at risk modeling sensitivity analysis (EVE at Risk).

NII at Risk is used by management to measure the risk and impact to earnings over the next 12 months, using a variety of interest rate scenarios. The NII at Risk results included in the table below reflect the analysis used monthly by management. It models gradual “ramp” -200, -100, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shift scenarios, implied by the forward yield curve over the next 12 months.

(2)Represents the spot federal funds rate.

(3)Represents the federal funds rate in month 12 given a gradual, parallel “ramp” relative to the base implied forward scenario.

The NII at Risk shows that the balance sheet is asset sensitive at both March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The primary drivers to the change in sensitivity include market rates, mortgage prepayment assumptions, deposit modeling assumptions, projected balance sheet composition over the simulation horizon, and hedging activity.

EVE at Risk is used by management to measure the impact of interest rate changes on the net present value of assets and liabilities, including derivative exposures. The EVE results included in the table below reflect the analysis used monthly by management. It models immediate -200, -100, +100 and +200 basis point parallel “shock” scenarios from the yield curve term points at the specific point in time that EVE sensitivity is measured.

Table 15 - Economic Value of Equity at Risk
			Economic Value of Equity at Risk (%)

At December 31, 2023			0.1						1.6												-3.8						-8.8

The change in sensitivity from December 31, 2023 was driven primarily by market rates, mortgage prepayment assumptions, deposit modeling assumptions, actual balance sheet composition, and hedging activity.

Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate Risk

An integral component of our interest rate risk management strategy is the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in market interest rates. Examples of derivative instruments that we may use as part of our interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps, caps and floors, collars, forward contracts, and forward starting interest rate swaps.

Table 16 shows all swap, swaption, swaption collar, and floor positions that are utilized for purposes of managing our exposures to the variability of interest rates. The interest rate variability may impact either the fair value of the assets and liabilities or impact the cash flows attributable to net interest margin. These positions are used to protect the fair value of asset and liabilities by converting the contractual interest rate on a specified amount of assets and liabilities (i.e., notional amounts) to another interest rate index. The positions are also used to hedge the variability in cash flows attributable to the contractually specified interest rate by converting the variable rate index into a fixed rate. The volume, maturity, and mix of derivative positions change frequently as we adjust our broader interest rate risk management objectives and the balance sheet positions to be hedged. For further information, including the notional amount and fair values of these derivatives, refer to Note 13 - “Derivative Financial Instruments” of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Derivatives to Manage Credit Risk

We may utilize credit derivatives as a tool to manage credit risk within the portfolio by purchasing credit protection over certain types of loan products. When we purchase credit protection, such as a CDS, we pay a fee to the seller, or CDS counterparty, in return for the right to receive a payment if a specified credit event occurs.

MSRs

(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 6 - “Mortgage Loan Sales and Servicing Rights” of Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)

At March 31, 2024, we had a total of $534 million of capitalized MSRs representing the right to service $33.3 billion in mortgage loans.

MSR fair values are sensitive to movements in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected outstanding principal balances of the underlying loans, which can be reduced by prepayments and declines in credit quality. Prepayments usually increase when mortgage interest rates decline and decrease when mortgage interest rates rise. We also employ hedging strategies to reduce the risk of MSR fair value changes or impairment. However, volatile changes in interest rates can diminish the effectiveness of these economic hedges. We report changes in the MSR value net of hedge-related trading activity in the mortgage banking income category of noninterest income.

MSR assets are included in servicing rights and other intangible assets in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Price Risk

Price risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the prices of financial instruments that are carried at fair value and are subject to fair value accounting. We have price risk from trading securities, securities owned by our broker-dealer subsidiaries, foreign exchange positions, derivative instruments, and equity investments. We have established loss limits on the trading portfolio, on the amount of foreign exchange exposure that can be maintained, and on the amount of marketable equity securities that can be held.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the possibility of us being unable to meet current and future financial obligations in a timely manner. The goal of liquidity management is to ensure adequate, stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of funds to satisfy changes in loan and lease demand, unexpected levels of deposit withdrawals, investment opportunities, and other contractual obligations. We consider core earnings, strong capital ratios, and credit quality essential for maintaining high credit ratings, which allows us cost-effective access to market-based liquidity. We mitigate liquidity risk by maintaining liquid assets in the form of cash, cash equivalents, and securities. In addition, we maintain a large, stable core deposit base and a diversified base of readily available wholesale funding sources, including secured funding sources from the FHLB and Federal Reserve through pledged borrowing capacity, issuance through dealers in the capital markets, and access to certificates of deposit issued through brokers.

Liquidity risk is reviewed and managed continuously for the Bank and the parent company, as well as its subsidiaries. In addition, liquidity working groups meet regularly to identify and monitor liquidity positions, provide policy guidance, review funding strategies, and oversee the adherence to, and maintenance of, contingency funding plans. At March 31, 2024, management believes current sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet Huntington’s on and off-balance sheet obligations.

We maintain a contingency funding plan that provides for liquidity stress testing, which assesses the potential erosion of funds in the event of an institution-specific event or systemic financial market crisis. Examples of institution specific events could include a downgrade in our public credit rating by a rating agency, a large charge to earnings, declines in profitability or other financial measures, declines in liquidity sources including reductions in deposit balances or access to contingent funding sources, or a significant merger or acquisition. Examples of systemic events unrelated to us that could have an effect on our access to liquidity would be terrorism or war, natural disasters, political events, failure of a major financial institution, or the default or bankruptcy of a major corporation, mutual fund, or hedge fund. Similarly, market speculation or rumors about us, or the banking industry in general, may adversely affect the cost and availability of normal funding sources. The contingency funding plan, which is reviewed and approved by the ROC at least annually, outlines the process for addressing a liquidity crisis and provides for an evaluation of funding sources under various market conditions. It also assigns specific roles and responsibilities and communication protocols for effectively managing liquidity through a problem period and outlines early warning indicators that are used to monitor emerging liquidity stress events.

Our largest source of liquidity on a consolidated basis is core deposits, which provide stable and lower-cost funding. Core deposits were $147.3 billion at March 31, 2024 which comprised 96% of total deposits, compared to $145.5 billion, and 96% of total deposits, at December 31, 2023. The $1.8 billion, or 1%, increase in core deposits, compared to December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by an increase in consumer core deposits. Our core deposits come from a base of primary bank customer relationships, and we continue to focus on acquiring and deepening those relationships resulting in our granular and diversified deposit base.

Non-core deposits consist primarily of brokered money market balances. Non-core deposits were $6.0 billion, or 4% of total deposits, at March 31, 2024, compared to $5.8 billion, or 4% of total deposits, at December 31, 2023. Non-core deposits were below our established liquidity risk metric limits at March 31, 2024.

Insured deposits comprised approximately 70% of our total deposits at both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(1)Includes consumer certificates of deposit of $250,000 or more.

(2)Represents consolidated Huntington uninsured deposits, determined by adjusting the amounts reported in the Bank Call Report (FFIEC 031) by inter-company deposits, which are not customer deposits and are therefore eliminated through consolidation. As of March 31, 2024, the Bank Call Report uninsured deposit balance was $50.4 billion, which includes $4.6 billion of inter-company deposits. As of December 31, 2023, the Bank Call Report uninsured deposit balance was $49.8 billion, which includes $4.6 billion of inter-company deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents were $12.2 billion and $10.1 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The $2.1 billion increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank to support short-term liquidity.

Our investment securities portfolio is evaluated under established ALCO objectives. Changing market conditions could affect the profitability of the portfolio, as well as the level of interest rate risk exposure.

Total investment securities were $42.4 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $41.2 billion at December 31, 2023. The $1.2 billion increase in securities compared to December 31, 2023, was primarily due to increased investment in U.S. Treasury securities. At March 31, 2024, the duration of the investment securities portfolio was 4.2 years, or 3.5 years net of hedging. Securities are pledged to secure borrowing capacity with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve, discussed further in the Bank Liquidity and Sources of Funding section below. At March 31, 2024, investment securities with market value of $5.9 billion were unpledged.

Sources of wholesale funding include non-core deposits (other domestic deposits of $250,000 or more, negotiable CDs, brokered and other deposits), short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Our wholesale funding totaled $21.0 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $18.8 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase from year end is primarily due to increases in collateralized borrowings and senior notes, partially offset by a decrease in repurchase agreements.

Bank Liquidity and Sources of Funding

Our primary sources of funding for the Bank are consumer and commercial core deposits. At March 31, 2024, these core deposits funded 76% of total assets (120% of total loans and leases). To the extent we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits and cash and cash equivalents, we may meet our liquidity needs through sources of wholesale funding and asset securitization or sale.

The Bank maintains borrowing capacity at both the FHLB and the Federal Reserve secured by pledged loans and securities. The Bank does not consider borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve a primary source of funding; however, it could be used as a potential source of liquidity in a stressed environment or during a market disruption. At March 31, 2024, the Bank’s available contingent borrowing capacity at the FHLB and Federal Reserve totaled $81.9 billion, compared to $83.0 billion at December 31, 2023. The amount of available contingent borrowing capacity may fluctuate based on the level of borrowings outstanding and level of assets pledged.

At March 31, 2024, we believe the Bank has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash flow obligations over the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

Parent Company Liquidity

The parent company’s funding requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service, income taxes, operating expenses, funding of nonbank subsidiaries, repurchases of our stock, and acquisitions. The parent company obtains funding to meet obligations from dividends and interest received from the Bank, interest and dividends received from direct subsidiaries, net taxes collected from subsidiaries included in the federal consolidated tax return, fees for services provided to subsidiaries, and the issuance of debt securities.

The parent company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 billion and $4.0 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

On April 17, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.155 per common share. The dividend is payable on July 1, 2024, to shareholders of record on June 17, 2024. Based on the current quarterly dividend of $0.155 per common share, cash demands required for common stock dividends are estimated to be approximately $225 million per quarter. Additionally, on April 17, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly Series B, Series E, Series F, Series G, Series H, and Series J Preferred Stock dividend payable on July 15, 2024 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2024. On March 27, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend for the Series I Preferred Stock payable on June 3, 2024 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2024. Total cash demands required for preferred stock dividends are expected to be approximately $36 million per quarter.

During the first three months of 2024, the Bank paid preferred and common dividends to the parent company of $11 million and $600 million, respectively. To meet any additional liquidity needs, the parent company may issue debt or equity securities. To support the parent company’s ability to issue debt or equity securities, we have filed with the SEC an automatic registration statement covering an indeterminate amount or number of securities to be offered or sold from time to time as authorized by Huntington’s Board of Directors.

At March 31, 2024, we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash flow obligations over the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into various off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include commitments to extend credit, interest rate swaps, caps and floors, swaption collars, financial guarantees contained in standby letters-of-credit issued by the Bank, and commitments by the Bank to sell mortgage loans.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human error, third-party performance failures, or inadequate or failed internal systems and controls, including the use of financial or other quantitative methodologies that may not adequately predict future results; violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, failed business contingency plans, and security risks. We continuously strive to test and strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with significant contracts, agreements, laws, rules, and regulations, and to reduce our exposure to fraud and improve the oversight of our operational risk.

To govern operational risks, we have an Operational Risk Committee, a Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Committee, a Funds Movement Committee, a Fraud Risk Committee, an Information and Technology Risk Committee, and a Third Party Risk Management Committee. The responsibilities of these committees, among other duties, include establishing and maintaining management information systems to monitor material risks and to identify potential concerns, risks, or trends that may have a significant impact, and ensuring that recommendations are developed to address the identified issues. In addition, we have a Model Risk Oversight Committee that is responsible for policies and procedures describing how model risk is evaluated and managed and the application of the governance process to implement these practices throughout the enterprise. These committees report any significant findings and remediation recommendations to the Risk Management Committee. Potential concerns may be escalated to our ROC and our Audit Committee, as appropriate.

The goal of this framework is to implement effective operational risk-monitoring; minimize operational, fraud, and legal losses; minimize the impact of inadequately designed models and enhance our overall performance.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity represents an important component of Huntington’s overall cross-functional approach to risk management. We actively manage a cybersecurity operation designed to detect, contain, and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents in a prompt and effective manner with the goal of minimizing disruptions to our business. We actively monitor cyberattacks, such as attempts related to online deception and loss of sensitive customer data. We evaluate our technology, processes, and controls to mitigate loss from cyberattacks and, to date, have not experienced any material losses. Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve and increase across the entire digital landscape. We actively monitor our environment for malicious content and implement specific cybersecurity and fraud capabilities, including the monitoring of phishing email campaigns. In addition, we have implemented specific cybersecurity and fraud monitoring of remote connections by geography and volume of connections to detect anomalous remote logins, since a significant portion of our workforce has the option to work remotely.

Our objective for managing cybersecurity risk is to avoid or minimize the impacts of both internal and external threat events or other efforts to penetrate our systems. We work to achieve this objective by hardening networks and systems against attack, and by diligently managing visibility and monitoring controls within our data and communications environment to recognize events and respond before an attacker has the opportunity to plan and execute on their objectives. To this end, we employ a set of defense-in-depth strategies, which include efforts to make us less attractive as a target and less vulnerable to threats, while investing in threat analytic capabilities for rapid detection and response. Potential concerns related to cybersecurity may be escalated to our Board-level Technology Committee, as appropriate.

As a complement to the overall cybersecurity risk management, we use a number of internal training methods, both formally through mandatory courses and informally through written communications and other updates, to ensure awareness of the risks of cybersecurity threats at all levels across the organization. Internal policies and procedures have been implemented to encourage the reporting of potential phishing attacks or other security risks. We use third-party services to test the effectiveness of our cybersecurity risk management framework and controls. We also require third-party vendors to comply with our policies regarding information security and confidentiality.

Compliance Risk

Financial institutions are subject to many laws, rules, and regulations at both the federal and state levels. These broad-based laws, rules, and regulations include, but are not limited to, expectations relating to anti-money laundering, lending limits, client privacy, fair lending, prohibitions against unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices, protections for military members as they enter active duty, and community reinvestment. The volume and complexity of recent regulatory changes have increased our overall compliance risk. As such, we utilize various resources to help ensure expectations are met, including a team of compliance experts dedicated to ensuring our conformance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Our colleagues receive training for several broad-based laws and regulations including, but not limited to, anti-money laundering and customer privacy. Additionally, colleagues engaged in lending activities receive training for laws and regulations related to flood disaster protection, equal credit opportunity, fair lending, and/or other courses related to the extension of credit. We hold ourselves to a high standard for adherence to compliance management and seek to continuously enhance our performance.

Capital

Our primary capital objective is to maintain appropriate levels of capital within our Board-approved risk appetite to support the Bank’s operations, absorb unanticipated losses and declines in asset values, and provide protection to uninsured depositors and debt holders in the event of liquidation, while also funding organic growth and providing appropriate returns to our shareholders. Both regulatory capital and shareholders’ equity are managed at the Bank and on a consolidated basis. We have an active program for managing capital and maintain a comprehensive process for assessing our overall capital adequacy, including the monitoring and reporting of capital risk metrics to the Board and ROC that we believe are useful for evaluating capital adequacy and making capital decisions. In addition to as-reported regulatory capital and tangible common equity metrics, we also actively monitor other measures of capital, such as tangible common equity including the mark-to-market impact on HTM securities and CET1 inclusive of AOCI excluding cash flow hedges. We believe our current levels of both regulatory capital and shareholders’ equity are adequate.

The following table presents certain regulatory capital data at the consolidated and Bank level:

(1) Huntington elected to temporarily delay certain effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period which began January 1, 2022 pursuant to a rule that allows bank holding companies and banks to delay for two years 100% of the day-one impact of adopting CECL and 25% of the cumulative change in the reported allowance for credit losses since adopting CECL. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have phased in 75% and 50%, respectively, of the cumulative CECL deferral with the remaining impact to be recognized through the first quarter of 2025.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2024, we, at both the consolidated and Bank level, maintained Basel III capital ratios in excess of the well-capitalized standards established by the Federal Reserve. The consolidated CET1 risk-based capital ratio was stable compared to the prior year end, as an increase in risk-weighted assets, driven by loan growth, and the CECL transitional amount, were offset by current period earnings, net of dividends.

Shareholders’ Equity

We generate shareholders’ equity primarily through the retention of earnings, net of dividends and share repurchases. Other potential sources of shareholders’ equity include issuances of common and preferred stock. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk appetite and risk tolerance objectives, to meet both regulatory and market expectations, and to provide the flexibility needed for future growth and business opportunities.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $19.3 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $31 million, when compared with December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by changes in accumulated other comprehensive income driven by changes in interest rates, partially offset by earnings, net of dividends.

Share Repurchases

From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes the Company to repurchase shares of our common stock. Although we announce when our Board authorizes share repurchases, we typically do not give any public notice before we repurchase our shares. Future stock repurchases may be private or open-market repurchases, including block transactions, accelerated or delayed block transactions, forward transactions, and similar transactions. Various factors determine the amount and timing of our share repurchases, including our capital requirements, the number of shares we expect to issue for employee benefit plans and acquisitions, market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), and regulatory and legal considerations.

On January 18, 2023, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of common shares within the eight quarter period ending December 31, 2024, subject to the Federal Reserve’s capital regulations. Purchases of common stock under the authorization may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, and accelerated share repurchase programs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased no shares of common stock under the current repurchase authorization. As part of the 2024 capital plan and our current expectation that organic capital will be used for funding loan and lease growth and proposed changes to regulatory capital requirements, we do not expect to utilize the share repurchase program through 2024. However, we may at our discretion resume share repurchases at any time while considering factors including, but not limited to, capital requirements and market conditions.

BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION

Overview

Our business segments are based on our internally-aligned segment leadership structure, which is how management monitors results and assesses performance. We have two business segments: Consumer & Regional Banking and Commercial Banking. The Treasury / Other function includes technology and operations, and other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense.

Business segment results are determined based upon our management practices, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around our organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions.

Revenue Sharing

Revenue is recorded in the business segment responsible for the related product or service. Fee sharing is recorded to allocate portions of such revenue to other business segments involved in selling to or providing service to customers. Results of operations for the business segments reflect these fee sharing allocations.

2024 1Q Form 10-Q 27

Table of Contents

Expense Allocation

The management process that develops the business segment reporting utilizes various estimates and allocation methodologies to measure the performance of the business segments. Expenses are allocated to business segments using a two-phase approach. The first phase consists of measuring and assigning unit costs (activity-based costs) to activities related to product origination and servicing. These activity-based costs are then extended, based on volumes, with the resulting amount allocated to business segments that own the related products. The second phase consists of the allocation of overhead costs to the business segments from Treasury / Other. We utilize a full-allocation methodology, where all Treasury / Other expenses, except reported acquisition-related expenses, if any, and a small amount of other residual unallocated expenses, are allocated to the business segments.

Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP)

We use an active and centralized FTP methodology to attribute appropriate net interest income to the business segments. The intent of the FTP methodology is to transfer interest rate risk from the business segments by providing modeled duration funding of assets and liabilities. The result is to centralize the financial impact, management, and reporting of interest rate risk in the Treasury / Other function where it can be centrally monitored and managed. The Treasury / Other function charges (credits) an internal cost of funds for assets held in (or pays for funding provided by) each business segment. The FTP rate is based on prevailing market interest rates for comparable duration assets (or liabilities). The primary components of the FTP rate include a base (market) rate, a liquidity premium, and option cost.

Consumer & Regional Banking reported net income of $348 million in the three-month period of 2024, an increase of $20 million, or 6%, compared to the year-ago period. Segment net interest income increased $85 million, or 10%, primarily due to a 13 basis point increase in NIM driven by the higher rate environment and a $2.9 billion, or 5%, increase in average loans and leases. Noninterest income decreased $36 million, or 10%, primarily due to a $57 million gain on the sale of our RPS business in the three-month period of 2023, partially offset by increases in payments and cash management revenue, reflecting higher debit card transaction revenue, and wealth and asset management revenue, reflecting higher assets under management and fixed income commissions. Noninterest expense increased $23 million, or 3%, primarily due to the allocation of higher indirect expenses.

Commercial Banking reported net income of $242 million in the first three-month period of 2024, a decrease of $54 million, or 18%, compared to the year-ago period. Segment net interest income decreased $18 million, or 3%, primarily due to a decrease in average loans and leases and deposits as well as a 5 basis point decrease in NIM driven by a lower spread on deposits primarily due to shift in product mix. The provision for credit losses increased $22 million, primarily due to increased charge-off activity in the current quarter. Noninterest income decreased $11 million, or 7%, primarily due to decreases in capital markets and other advisory fees and customer deposits and loan fees, partially offset by an increase in payments and cash management revenue, reflecting higher commercial treasury management revenue. Noninterest expense increased $16 million, or 6%, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs reflecting an increase in average full-time equivalent employees. Also higher were allocated overhead and outside data and other processing services. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in lease financing equipment depreciation.

Treasury / Other

The Treasury / Other function includes revenue and expense related to assets, liabilities, derivatives, and equity not directly assigned or allocated to one of the business segments. Assets include investment securities and bank owned life insurance.

Net interest income includes the impact of administering our investment securities portfolios, the net impact of derivatives used to hedge interest rate sensitivity as well as the financial impact associated with our FTP methodology, as described above. Noninterest income includes miscellaneous fee income not allocated to other business segments, such as bank owned life insurance income and securities and trading asset gains or losses. Noninterest expense includes certain corporate administrative, acquisition-related expenses, if any, and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other business segments. The provision for income taxes for the business segments is calculated at a statutory 21% tax rate, although our overall effective tax rate is lower.

Treasury / Other reported a net loss of $171 million in the first three-month period of 2024, an increase in net loss of $149 million, compared to the year-ago period, driven by a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in provision for income taxes. Net interest income decreased $189 million primarily due to a higher cost of funds. Provision for income taxes decreased $50 million primarily due to lower pre-tax income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding our results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found herein.

Fully-Taxable Equivalent Basis

Interest income, yields, and ratios on an FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on an FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a federal statutory tax rate of 21%. We encourage readers to consider the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information contained in this Form 10-Q in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Non-Regulatory Capital Ratios

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, the Company considers various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including:

• Tangible common equity to tangible assets,

• Tangible equity to tangible assets, and

• Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel III definitions.

These non-regulatory capital ratios are viewed by management as useful additional methods of reflecting the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these ratios allows readers to compare our capitalization to other financial services companies. These ratios differ from capital ratios defined by banking regulators principally in that the numerator excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, the nature and extent of which varies among different financial services companies. These ratios are not defined in GAAP or federal banking regulations. As a result, these non-regulatory capital ratios disclosed by the Company are considered non-GAAP financial measures.

Because there are no standardized definitions for these non-regulatory capital ratios, the Company’s calculation methods may differ from those used by other financial services companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, we encourage readers to consider the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information contained in this Form 10-Q in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to establish accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 1 - “Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by this report including this MD&A, describes the significant accounting policies we used in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

An accounting estimate requires assumptions and judgments about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are made under facts and circumstances at a point in time, and changes in those facts and circumstances could produce results substantially different from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies include the allowance for credit losses and goodwill. The policies, assumptions, and judgments related to goodwill are described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates section within the MD&A of Huntington’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following details the policies, assumption, and judgments related to the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our ACL at March 31, 2024 represents our current estimate of the lifetime credit losses expected from our loan and lease portfolio and our unfunded lending commitments. Management estimates the ACL by projecting probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default conditional on economic parameters, for the remaining contractual term. Internal factors that impact the quarterly allowance estimate include the level of outstanding balances, the portfolio performance and assigned risk ratings.

2024 1Q Form 10-Q 31

Table of Contents

One of the most significant judgments influencing the ACL estimate is the macroeconomic forecasts. Key external economic parameters that directly impact our loss modeling framework include forecasted unemployment rates and GDP. Changes in the economic forecasts could significantly affect the estimated credit losses, which could potentially lead to materially different allowance levels from one reporting period to the next.

Given the dynamic relationship between macroeconomic variables within our modeling framework, it is difficult to estimate the impact of a change in any one individual variable on the allowance. As a result, management uses a probability-weighted approach that incorporates a baseline, an adverse, and a more favorable economic scenario when formulating the quantitative estimate.

However, to illustrate a hypothetical sensitivity analysis, management calculated a quantitative allowance using a 100% weighting applied to an adverse scenario. This scenario contemplates an increased risk of an extended government shutdown. Concerns about bank failures raise fears of further collapse in the banking industry, reducing consumer confidence and causing banks to tighten lending standards. Increased geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan briefly impact the supply chain for semiconductors and the threat of a wider conflict causes consumer confidence to fall. Additionally, the Russian invasion of Ukraine lasts longer than in the baseline scenario and concerns increase around the Hamas-Israel conflict leading to a broader war in the Middle East. The combination of the risk of federal shutdown, political tensions and tightening lending standards cause the stock market to fall. The economy falls into a recession in the second quarter of 2024. In response to the recession, the Federal Reserve starts lowering the federal funds rate in the second quarter of 2024, with significant rate reductions by the end of 2024. Under this scenario, as an example, the unemployment rate increases from baseline levels and remains elevated for a prolonged period, the rate is estimated at 7.2% and 7.3% at the end of 2024 and 2025, respectively. This forecast reflects unemployment rates that are approximately 3.2% higher than baseline scenario projections of 4.0% and 4.1%, respectively, for the same time periods.

To demonstrate the sensitivity to key economic parameters used in the calculation of our ACL at March 31, 2024, management calculated the difference between our quantitative ACL and this 100% adverse scenario. Excluding consideration of qualitative adjustments, this sensitivity analysis would result in a hypothetical increase in our ACL of approximately $1.1 billion at March 31, 2024. This hypothetical increase is reflective of the sensitivity of the rate of change in the unemployment variable on our models.

The resulting difference is not intended to represent an expected increase in allowance levels for a number of reasons including the following:

• Management uses a weighted approach applied to multiple economic scenarios for its allowance estimation process;

• The highly uncertain economic environment;

• The difficulty in predicting the inter-relationships between the economic parameters used in the various economic scenarios; and

• The sensitivity estimate does not account for any general reserve components and associated risk profile adjustments incorporated by management as part of its overall allowance framework.

We regularly review our ACL for appropriateness by performing on-going evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio. In doing so, we consider factors such as the differing economic risks associated with each loan category, the financial condition of specific borrowers, the level of delinquent loans, the value of any collateral and, where applicable, the existence of any guarantees or other documented support. We also evaluate the impact of changes in key economic parameters and overall economic conditions on the ability of borrowers to meet their financial obligations when quantifying our exposure to credit losses and assessing the appropriateness of our ACL at each reporting date. There is no certainty that our ACL will be appropriate over time to cover losses in our portfolio as economic and market conditions may ultimately differ from our reasonable and supportable forecast. Additionally, events adversely affecting specific customers, industries, or our markets such as geopolitical instability or risks of inflation including a near-term recession, could severely impact our current expectations. If the credit quality of our customer base materially deteriorates or the risk profile of a market, industry, or group of customers changes materially, our net income and capital could be materially adversely affected which, in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the geopolitical instability and risks of inflation will continue to negatively impact our businesses, financial condition, liquidity, and results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be forecasted with precision at this time. For more information, see Note 4 - “Loans and Leases” and Note 5 - “Allowance For Credit Losses” of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

Note 2 - “Accounting Standards Update” of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements discusses new accounting pronouncements adopted during 2024 and the expected impact of accounting pronouncements recently issued but not yet required to be adopted. To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards materially affects financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, the impacts are discussed in the applicable section of this MD&A and the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
