PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” “Huntington,” and “the Company” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

(this “report”), we mean Huntington Bancshares Incorporated and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context

indicates that we refer only to the parent company, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated. When we refer to the

“Bank” in this report, we mean our only bank subsidiary, The Huntington National Bank, and its subsidiaries.

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 and financial services. These include, but are not limited to, payments, mortgage

banking, direct and indirect consumer 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, 2026, we operated over 1,400 branches in 21 states, with our Commercial and Vehicle

Finance businesses delivering expertise nationally.

This MD&A provides information we believe necessary for understanding our financial condition, changes in

financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. This MD&A provides only material updates to the MD&A

included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on

Form 10-K”), and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the 2025 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.

In this MD&A we refer to FTE net interest income and FTE total revenue. These financial measures are not

required by, or calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be calculated the same as similarly titled measures

used by other companies. These financial measures should thus be considered as supplemental in nature and not

considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For

a further description of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" within the

“Additional Disclosures” section below.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Veritex and Cadence Acquisitions

Effective October 20, 2025, Huntington completed the acquisition of Veritex Holdings, Inc. (“Veritex”), a bank

holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, whereby Veritex merged with and into Huntington, with

Huntington as the surviving entity. Upon completion of the merger, Huntington issued 107 million shares of its

common stock to Veritex shareholders of record as of the merger date, in addition to 1 million shares issued upon

the conversion of certain Veritex equity awards, resulting in total consideration from the transaction of $1.7 billion.

Effective February 1, 2026, Huntington completed the acquisition of Cadence Bank (“Cadence”), a regional bank

headquartered in Houston, Texas and Tupelo, Mississippi, whereby Cadence merged with and into Huntington

National Bank, with Huntington National Bank as the surviving bank. Upon completion of the merger, Huntington

issued 462 million shares of its common stock to Cadence shareholders of record as of the merger date, in addition

to the conversion of certain Cadence equity awards into Huntington equity awards. Further, each outstanding share

of 5.50% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of Cadence was converted into the right to receive one

depositary share representing 1/1000 of a share of a newly created 5.50% Series L Non-Cumulative Perpetual

Preferred Stock of Huntington. Consideration from the transaction totaled $8.3 billion.

Historical periods reflect results of legacy Huntington operations. Subsequent to the closing of each respective

acquisition, results reflect combined post-acquisition activity. For further information on the Veritex and Cadence

acquisitions, refer to Note 3 - “Business Combinations” of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial

Statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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), is 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 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 March 31, 2026. Based upon such evaluation,

Huntington’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026,

Huntington’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

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 March 31, 2026 that have materially

affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

On April 22, 2026, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $3.0 billion of
