(1) Beginning in Q2 2026, Wealth Management Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees by region are combined into the Private Wealth line item. Prior periods have been revised.

Asset Servicing

Custody and Fund Administration fees, the largest component of Asset Servicing fees, are driven primarily by values of client assets under custody/administration (AUC/A), transaction volumes and the number of accounts. The asset values used to calculate these fees vary depending on the individual fee arrangements negotiated with each client. Custody fees related to asset values are client-specific and are priced based on month-end market values, quarter-end market values, or the average of month-end market values for the quarter. The fund administration fees that are asset-value-related are priced using month-end, quarter-end, or average daily balances. Investment Management fees are based generally on market values of client AUM throughout the period. Typically, the asset values used to calculate fee revenue are based on a one-month or one-quarter lag. Securities Lending revenue is affected by market values; the demand for securities to be lent, which drives volumes; and the interest rate spread earned on the investment of cash deposited by investment firms as collateral for securities they have borrowed. The Other fee category in Asset Servicing includes products such as investment risk and analytical services, benefit payments, and other services. Revenue from these products is based generally on the volume of services provided or a fixed fee.

Custody and Fund Administration fees increased from the prior-year quarter primarily driven by favorable markets and net new business. Custody and Fund Administration fees increased from the prior-year period primarily driven by favorable markets, favorable currency movements and net new business.

Investment Management fees increased from both the the prior-year quarter and the prior-year period primarily due to favorable markets and net client inflows.

Securities Lending increased from both the prior-year quarter and prior-year period primarily due to higher trading volumes and spreads.

Wealth Management

Wealth Management fees are calculated primarily based on market values and is impacted by both one-month and one-quarter lagged asset values.

Private Wealth fee income increased from the prior-year quarter and from the prior-year period primarily due to favorable markets.

Global Family Office fee income increased from the prior-year period primarily due to favorable markets and client inflows.

(1) Beginning in Q1 2026, Treasury Management Fees are included within Other Operating Income. The prior period has been revised to conform to the current year presentation.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, Foreign Exchange Trading Income increased compared to the prior-year quarter and prior-year period, primarily due to higher trading volumes driven by client activity and market volatility, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, Security Commissions and Trading Income increased compared to the prior-year quarter and prior-year period, primarily due to higher volumes as a result of market volatility and growth in outsourced trading activity.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, Other Operating Income increased compared to the prior-year quarter and prior-year period, primarily due to a $525.4 million gain related to Northern Trust’s participation in the second Visa, Inc. Exchange Offer.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 Investment Securities Gains (Losses), net reflects a $73.9 million loss on the sale of available for sale debt securities in the current quarter related to a repositioning of the securities portfolio.

Net Interest Income

Net Interest Income is defined as the total of Interest Income and amortized fees on earning assets, less Interest Expense on deposits and borrowed funds, adjusted for the impact of interest-related hedging activity. Earning assets—including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, Interest-Bearing Due From and Deposits with Banks, Federal Reserve and Other Central Bank Deposits, Securities, Loans, and Other Interest-Earning Assets—are financed by a large base of interest-bearing liabilities that include client deposits, short-term borrowings, Senior Notes and Long-Term Debt. Short-term borrowings include Federal Funds Purchased, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, and Other Borrowings. Earning assets are also funded by noninterest-bearing funds, which include demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. Net Interest Income is subject to variations in the level and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing funds and their relative sensitivity to interest rates. In addition, the levels of nonaccruing assets and client compensating deposit balances used to pay for services impact Net Interest Income.

Net interest margin is the difference between what we earn on our assets and what we pay for deposits and other sources of funding relative to average interest-earning assets. The direction and level of interest rates are important factors in our earnings. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized Net Interest Income by average interest-earning assets.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Net Interest Income stated on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure that facilitates the analysis of asset yields. Management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest margins for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on Net Income. A reconciliation of Net Interest Income on a GAAP basis to Net Interest Income on an FTE basis is provided in “Reconciliation to Fully Taxable Equivalent” within this MD&A.

The following tables present an analysis of average daily balances and interest rates changes affecting Net Interest Income and an analysis of Net Interest Income changes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and three months ended June 30, 2025.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Net Interest Income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, stated on an FTE basis, increased from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by higher deposits and lower funding costs.

The net interest margin on an FTE basis increased from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by lower funding costs.

Interest-earning deposits includes Federal Reserve and Other Central Bank Deposits and Interest-Bearing Due from and Deposits with Banks. Average interest-earning deposits decreased 9%, from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by strategic purchases in the securities portfolio.

Average Securities increased 17% from the prior-year quarter, reflecting strategic purchases of investment securities, primarily in the AFS portfolio. Average taxable Securities were $53.4 billion in the current quarter and $44.0 billion in the prior-year quarter.

Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Average Loans of $41.6 billion increased 1% compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by an increase in short term advances, primarily related to the processing of custodied client investments, and Subscription Finance loans, partially offset by a decrease in Commercial and Institutional loans. For additional discussion relating to the revised loan classes within the Commercial loan segment, refer to Note 5- Loans to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Average Other Interest-Earning Assets includes collateral deposits with certain securities depositories and clearing houses, certain community development investments, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, a money market investment, and Federal Reserve stock of $1.7 billion, $986.1 million, $342.7 million, $101.8 million, and $69.1 million, respectively, which are recorded in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Average Interest-Bearing Deposits increased 3% from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to increased liquidity and client activity as a result of market volatility and growth across institutional and personal clients.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Net Interest Income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, stated on an FTE basis, increased from the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher deposits levels and lower funding costs, partially offset by lower asset yields.

The net interest margin on an FTE basis increased from the prior-year period, primarily driven by lower funding costs, partially offset by lower yields on interest-earning assets.

Interest-earning deposits includes Federal Reserve and Other Central Bank Deposits and Interest-Bearing Due from and Deposits with Banks. Average interest-earning deposits increased 2% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher client deposits.

Average Securities increased 16%, from the prior-year period reflecting strategic purchases of investment securities primarily in the AFS portfolio.

*(1)*Changes not due solely to average balance changes or rate changes are allocated proportionately to average balance and rate based on their relative absolute magnitudes.

*(2)*Changes due to average balance and average rate exclude the impact of balance sheet netting noted in Table 14: Average Consolidated Balance Sheets with Analysis of Net Interest Income.

Notes: Net Interest Income (FTE adjusted), a non-GAAP financial measure, includes adjustments to a fully taxable equivalent basis for Loans, Securities and Other Interest-Earning assets. The adjustments are based on a federal income tax rate of 21.0%, where the rate is adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of related federal tax benefit. See Table 14: Average Consolidated Balance Sheets with Analysis of Net Interest Income which reflects the applied FTE adjustment. A reconciliation of Net Interest Income and net interest margin on a GAAP basis to Net Interest Income and net interest margin on an FTE basis (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) is provided in “Reconciliation to Fully Taxable Equivalent” within this MD&A. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets.

Interest revenue on cash collateral positions is reported above within Interest-Bearing Due from and Deposits with Banks, Loans and within Other Interest-Earning Assets. Interest expense on cash collateral positions is reported above within Savings, Money Market and Other and in Non-U.S. Offices Interest-Bearing Deposits.

SECOND QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Provision for Credit Losses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there was a negative Provision for Credit Losses of $5.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The negative provision in the current quarter resulted from a decrease in the collective reserve, partially offset by an increase in individual reserves. The decrease in the collective reserve was primarily driven by a strengthening macroeconomic outlook and improved credit quality for the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) and Commercial and Institutional (C&I) portfolios. The increase in the individual reserve was driven by a small number of non-performing loans. The negative provision in the current-year period was primarily in the C&I portfolio, driven by a strengthening macroeconomic outlook and improved credit quality; partially offset by an increase in specific reserves related to a small number of non-performing loans. Net recoveries in the current quarter were $0.4 million, reflecting $0.6 million of recoveries and $0.2 million of charge-offs. Net recoveries in the current-year period were $0.3 million, reflecting $0.9 million of recoveries and $0.6 million of charge-offs.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Provision for Credit Losses was $16.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively. The provision for both periods resulted from an increase in specific reserves related to a small number of non-performing loans and an increase in the collective reserve resulting primarily from a worsening macroeconomic outlook, partially offset by sector and portfolio-specific improvements within the CRE portfolio. The prior-year quarter included $0.3 million net recoveries, reflecting $0.4 million of recoveries and $0.1 million of charge-offs. The prior-year period included $0.5 million net recoveries, reflecting $0.9 million of recoveries and $0.4 million of charge-offs.

For additional discussion of the allowance for credit losses, refer to the “Asset Quality” section in this MD&A.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 Compensation and Benefits expense, the largest component of Noninterest Expense, increased compared to the prior-year quarter and prior year period, primarily due to the current quarter severance charge of $51.0 million, higher incentives, the $33.1 million Invested as One equity grant to eligible employees, annual base pay adjustments and an increase in pension expense.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 Equipment and Software expense increased compared to the prior-year quarter and the prior year period, primarily due to software dispositions of $61.5 million in the current quarter, higher software support and higher amortization.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $272.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of 25.6%, compared to $143.5 million in the prior-year quarter, representing an effective tax rate of 25.4%.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $447.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 25.4%, compared to $272.9 million in the prior-year period, representing an effective tax rate of 25.1%.

REPORTING SEGMENTS

Northern Trust is organized around its two client-focused reporting segments: Asset Servicing and Wealth Management. Asset management and related services are provided to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management clients primarily by the Asset Management business. The revenue and expenses of Asset Management and certain other support functions are allocated fully to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management.

Reporting segment financial information, presented on an internal management-reporting basis, is determined by accounting systems used to allocate revenue and expense to each segment, and incorporates processes for allocating assets, liabilities, equity and the applicable interest income and expense utilizing an FTP methodology. Under the methodology, assets and

REPORTING SEGMENTS (continued)

liabilities receive a funding charge or credit that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics on an instrument level. Additionally, segment information is presented on an FTE basis as management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest income. Income before Income Taxes on an FTE basis is the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on Net Income.

Revenues, expenses and average assets are allocated to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management, with the exception of non-recurring activities such as certain corporate transactions and costs incurred associated with acquisitions, divestitures, litigation, restructuring, and tax adjustments not directly attributable to a specific reporting segment, which are reported within Other.

In addition to income and expenses associated with non-recurring activities, Other includes expenses for the Enterprise Chief Operating Office, Asset Management, corporate and other support functions not directly incurred by, but ultimately allocated back to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management. Other also includes the FTE adjustments of $7.6 million and $15.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $4.7 million and $10.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, in order to reconcile the segment results that are reported on an internal management-reporting basis into consolidated results.

Reporting segment results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a retrospective basis unless it is impractical to do so.

For further details, please refer to Note 9—Reporting Segments to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

The following table presents the earnings contributions and average assets of Northern Trust’s reporting segments for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Asset Servicing

Asset Servicing Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees

For an explanation of Asset Servicing Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees, please see the “Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees” section within the Consolidated Results of Operations section.

Asset Servicing Foreign Exchange Trading Income

Foreign Exchange Trading Income increased $37.9 million, or 62%, from the prior-year quarter and increased $65.0 million, or 52%, from the prior-year period, primarily due to higher trading volumes driven by client activity and market volatility, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets.

Asset Servicing Other Noninterest Income

Other Noninterest Income increased $18.7 million, or 26%, from the prior-year quarter and increased $35.0 million, or 25%, from the prior-year period, primarily in Security Commissions and Trading Income due to higher volumes driven by market volatility and growth in outsourced trading activity.

Asset Servicing Net Interest Income

Net Interest Income stated on an FTE basis increased $68.9 million, or 20%, from the prior-year quarter and increased $146.9 million, or 22%, from the prior-year period, primarily due to the favorable impact of higher deposits and lower funding costs.

Asset Servicing Provision for Credit Losses

The negative Provision for Credit Losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, reflected a decrease in the collective reserve primarily in the C&I portfolio, driven by a strengthening macroeconomic outlook and improved credit quality.

REPORTING SEGMENTS (continued)

Asset Servicing Noninterest Expense

Noninterest Expense increased $145.8 million, or 16%, from the prior-year quarter and increased $202.4 million, or 11%, from the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher indirect expense allocations for certain corporate support services and $100.6 million of the current quarter charges related to software dispositions and severance.

Wealth Management

Wealth Management Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees

For an explanation of Wealth Management Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees, please see the “Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees” section within the Consolidated Results of Operations section.

Wealth Management Foreign Exchange Trading Income (Loss)

Foreign Exchange Trading Income (Loss) increased $8.6 million, or 83%, from the prior-year quarter and $10.5 million, or 67%, from the prior-year period, primarily driven by the favorable impact from lower foreign exchange swap activity executed by our Treasury department that is allocated to Wealth Management.

Wealth Management Provision for Credit Losses

The negative Provision for Credit Losses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, reflected a decrease in the collective reserve driven by a strengthening macroeconomic outlook and improved credit quality for the CRE and C&I portfolios; partially offset by an increase in the individual reserve driven by a small number of non-performing loans

Wealth Management Noninterest Expense

Noninterest Expense increased $48.5 million, or 9%, from the prior-year quarter and $90.5 million, or 9%, from the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher indirect expense allocations for certain corporate support services and $11.9 million of the current quarter charges related to software dispositions and severance.

Other

Other—Noninterest Income

Other Noninterest Income increased $450.3 million and $456.8 million from the prior-year quarter and prior-year period, respectively, primarily due to the current quarter $525.4 million gain related to Northern Trust's participation in the second Visa Exchange Offer, partially offset by the $73.9 million loss on available for sale debt securities sold in conjunction with a repositioning of the portfolio.

Other—Noninterest Expense

Other Noninterest Expense increased $27.7 million from the prior-year quarter primarily due to the current quarter $33.1 million Invested as One equity grant to eligible employees. Other Noninterest Expense increased $19.5 million from the prior-year period driven by the current quarter $33.1 million Invested as One equity grant to eligible employees, partially offset by lower non-allocated occupancy expense primarily arising from early lease exits.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, HTM debt securities not rated by Moody’s, S&P Global or Fitch Ratings primarily consisted of certificates of deposit with a remaining life of less than one month, as well as investments purchased by Northern Trust to fulfill its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Northern Trust fulfills its obligations under the CRA by making qualified investments for purposes of supporting institutions and programs that benefit low-to-moderate income communities within Northern Trust’s market area.

For additional information relating to the securities portfolio, refer to Note 4, “Securities” to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings includes Federal Funds Purchased, Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase, and Other Borrowings. These balances are primarily driven by sources of strategic funding needs. Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financings and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. To minimize potential credit risk associated with these transactions, the fair value of the securities purchased or sold is monitored, limits are set on exposure with counterparties, and the financial condition of counterparties is regularly assessed. It is Northern Trust’s policy to take possession, either directly or via third-party custodians, of securities purchased under agreements to resell. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are held by the counterparty until their repurchase.

ASSET QUALITY (continued)

Nonaccrual Loans and Other Real Estate Owned

Nonaccrual assets consist of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (OREO). OREO is comprised of commercial and residential properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of loans. There was no outstanding OREO as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

The following table provides the amounts of nonaccrual loans, by loan segment and class, that were outstanding at the dates shown, as well as the balance of loans that were delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Loans that are delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash collections, renegotiation and renewals.

(1) Loan classes that do not have a non-accrual balance are excluded from the table.

Nonaccrual assets of $71.3 million as of June 30, 2026, were $5.4 million, or 7%, lower than December 31, 2025, primarily due to payoffs and paydowns related to a small number of Residential Real Estate loans, partially offset by the downgrade of a small number of C&I loans. In addition to the negative impact on Net Interest Income and the risk of credit losses, nonaccrual assets also increase operating costs due to the expense associated with collection efforts. Changes in the level of nonaccrual assets may be indicative of changes in the credit quality of one or more loan classes. Changes in credit quality impact the allowance for credit losses through the resultant adjustment of the allowance evaluated on an individual basis and the quantitative and qualitative factors used in the determination of the allowance evaluated on a collective basis within the allowance for credit losses.

Northern Trust’s credit policies do not allow for the origination of loan types generally considered to be high risk in nature, such as option adjustable rate mortgage loans, subprime loans, loans with initial “teaser” rates and loans with excessively high loan-to-value ratios. Residential real estate loans consist of first lien mortgages and equity credit lines, which generally require a loan-to-collateral value of no more than 65% to 80% at inception. Appraisals of supporting collateral for residential real estate loans are obtained at loan origination and upon refinancing or default or when otherwise considered warranted. Residential real estate collateral appraisals are performed and reviewed by independent third parties.

For additional information relating to the loans portfolio, refer to Note 5—Loans to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

ASSET QUALITY (continued)

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Allowance for Credit Losses—which represents management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses related to various portfolios subject to credit risk, off-balance-sheet credit exposure, and specific borrower relationships—is determined by management through a disciplined credit review process. Northern Trust measures expected credit losses of financial assets with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. A financial asset is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets and the related allowance is determined through an individual evaluation.

Management’s estimates utilized in establishing an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses are not dependent on any single assumption. In determining an appropriate allowance level, management evaluates numerous variables, many of which are interrelated or dependent on other assumptions and estimates, and takes into consideration past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The results of the credit reserve estimation methodology are reviewed quarterly by Northern Trust’s Credit Loss Reserve Committee and CFO, which receives input from Financial Risk Management, Treasury, Corporate Finance, the Economic Research Department, and each of Northern Trust’s reporting business units.

As of June 30, 2026, the Allowance for Credit Losses related to loans, undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit, HTM debt securities, and other financial assets, was $160.9 million, $21.9 million, $6.6 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses related to AFS debt securities as of June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Allowance for Credit Losses related to loans, undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit, HTM debt securities, and other financial assets, was $164.3 million, $23.3 million, $9.3 million, and $1.4 million, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses related to AFS debt securities as of December 31, 2025. For additional information relating to the Allowance for Credit Losses and the changes in the Allowance for Credit Losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 due to charge-offs, recoveries and provisions for credit losses, refer to Note 6—Allowance for Credit Losses to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

As of January 1, 2026, Northern Trust refined the presentation of its commercial loan segment to enhance the alignment of segment reporting with business needs, risk characteristics, and management’s approach to monitoring and managing credit performance. As part of this refinement, Subscription Finance and Fund Finance were introduced as separate loan classes. Subscription Finance includes loans to private equity funds that are secured by investors’ contractual commitments to fund capital calls. Fund Finance includes loans and credit lines to all other collective investment funds and to investment managers primarily established for short-term liquidity needs. These borrowers generally maintain highly diversified portfolios of liquid securities. Prior period disclosures have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.

The following table provides the allowance evaluated on an individual and collective basis for the loan portfolio by segment and class.

In managing its credit exposure, management has defined a commercial real estate loan as one where: (1) the borrower’s principal business activity is the acquisition or the development of real estate for commercial purposes; (2) the principal collateral is real estate held for commercial purposes, and loan repayment is expected to flow from the operation of the property; or (3) the loan repayment is expected to flow from the sale or refinance of real estate as a normal and ongoing part of the business. The commercial real estate portfolio consists of commercial mortgages and construction, acquisition and development loans extended primarily to experienced investors well known to Northern Trust.

Underwriting standards generally reflect conservative loan-to-collateral value (LTV) ratios and debt service coverage requirements. LTV ratios, calculated as the outstanding amount of the loan divided by the estimated value of the property, are a critical component of Northern Trust’s underwriting standards. Northern Trust utilizes LTV ratios in various stages of the lending and risk management process. Northern Trust’s policy related to LTV limits is more conservative than what is prescribed by current supervisory regulations. LTV ratios are monitored and updated on a quarterly basis utilizing the most recent outstanding amounts and appraisal values based on models, automated valuation services, or updated appraisals.

All commercial real estate transactions, regardless of size, require an independent appraisal at loan origination, unless permissible and approved regulatory exemptions can be applied. Real estate appraisals are, at a minimum, performed in accordance with generally accepted appraisal standards as applicable under local regulations. Northern Trust considers obtaining a new appraisal as part of the loan renewal process or whenever credit quality or market conditions have materially and adversely changed to the point where it is prudent to reassess the value of the real estate collateral. For defaulted loans, appraisals are updated on an, at least, annual basis. Appraisal values might be discounted based upon Northern Trust’s experience with actual liquidation values and management’s judgment as to the realizable value of the property.

For an overall discussion on the loan portfolio and on the allowance, refer to Note 5—Loans and Note 6—Allowance for Credit Losses to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (continued)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities of $384.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to higher net collateral deposited with derivative counterparties, partially offset by period earnings.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to lower net collateral deposited with derivative counterparties and period earnings.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to net purchases of AFS securities and an increase in loans, partially offset by decreased levels of Federal Reserve and other central bank deposits and a decrease in federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell.

Net cash used in investing activities of $13.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to increased levels of Federal Reserve and other central bank deposits and net purchases of AFS debt securities, partially offset by net proceeds associated with HTM debt securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to increased levels of total deposits and short term borrowings, partially offset by share repurchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $10.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the increased levels of total deposits, partially offset by share repurchases.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

Capital ratios remained strong at June 30, 2026, exceeding the requirements for classification as “well-capitalized” under applicable U.S. regulatory requirements.

Northern Trust is a Category II institution as defined by the Federal Reserve Board which requires us to adhere to regulatory capital standards. In adhering to these standards, Northern Trust engages in a range of reporting and activities with regulators to affirm our financial strength and stability, including but not limited to, capital adequacy reporting that deducts any unrealized losses related to AFS securities from reported capital, and stringent, annual company-run and supervisory stress testing in the form of CCAR exercises, which confirms our ability to remain solvent under severely adverse market conditions.

The results of the 2026 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST) were published by the Federal Reserve Board on June 24, 2026 and resulted in no change to the Corporation’s stress capital buffer. On February 4, 2026, the Federal Reserve notified the Corporation that because the Stress Testing Transparency Proposal remains subject to public comment, absent further action from the Federal Reserve, the Corporation’s stress capital buffer and Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio minimum requirement will remain at 2.5% and 7.0%, respectively, until October 1, 2027.

In March 2026, the U.S. banking agencies issued a revised proposal to implement the final components of the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The revised proposal would eliminate the existing standardized and advanced approach methodologies for determining Risk-Weighted Assets for Category I and Category II institutions and replace it with a new expanded risk-based approach. Based upon a preliminary assessment, Northern Trust estimates the proposal will result in a modest decrease in Risk-Weighted Assets. However, the potential impacts on the Corporation and the Bank of a final rule and the timing associated with it remain uncertain.

REGULATORY CAPITAL (continued)

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Corporation’s common stockholders’ equity to total risk-based capital under the applicable U.S. regulatory rules as of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (ASU 2024-03). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosures in tabular format for specific income statement expense categories as well as a narrative disclosure about selling expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 do not change or remove existing income statement presentation or disclosure requirements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the impact of ASU 2024-03 will be limited to certain enhancements within the notes to the consolidated financial statements and therefore is not expected to have an impact on Northern Trust’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of income.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (ASU 2025-06). ASU 2025-06 changes the cost capitalization threshold by removing the accounting consideration given to software project development stages and replaces it with the following criteria that must be met for entities to begin capitalizing software costs: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (2) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software used to perform its intended function (referred to as the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold). In addition, ASU 2025-06 specifies that entities must apply the disclosure requirements in ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment—Overall to capitalized internal-use software and related amortization, regardless of how the internal-use software is classified on the balance sheet. ASU 2025-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted. Northern Trust is currently assessing the impacts upon adoption of ASU 2025-06.

Other accounting pronouncements that were issued by the FASB but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2026 are not expected to have a material impact on Northern Trust’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of income upon adoption.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to raise sufficient funds or maintain collateral to meet balance sheet and contingent liability cash flow obligations when due, because of firm-specific or market-wide stress events. Northern Trust is a Category II institution as defined by the Federal Reserve Board which requires us to adhere to the same regulatory liquidity standards as U.S. global systemically important bank holding companies (GSIBs). In adhering to these standards, Northern Trust engages in a range of reporting and other activities with regulators to affirm our financial strength and stability, including but not limited to, daily LCR and Net Stable Funding Ratio calculations to regulators.

We maintain a highly liquid balance sheet consisting principally of cash and due from banks, deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks, short-term money market assets, and investment securities, which were 66% of total assets as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The majority of Northern Trust’s securities portfolio is composed of highly liquid securities including U.S. Treasury, non-U.S. government, and government sponsored agency securities.

Market Risk

There are two types of market risk; interest rate risk associated with the banking book and trading risk. Interest rate risk associated with the banking book is the potential for movements in interest rates to cause changes in Net Interest Income and the market value of equity, including AOCI from the AFS debt securities portfolio. Trading risk is the potential for movements in market variables such as foreign exchange and interest rates to cause changes in the value of trading positions.

Northern Trust uses two primary measurement techniques to manage interest rate risk: NII sensitivity and MVE sensitivity. NII sensitivity provides management with a short-term view of the impact of interest rate changes on NII. MVE sensitivity provides management with a long-term view of interest rate changes on MVE based on the period-end balance sheet. Higher interest rates may impact the fair value of AFS debt securities which in turn affects AOCI, which can impact regulatory capital ratios.

As part of its risk management activities, Northern Trust also measures daily the risk of loss associated with all trading book positions using a VaR model and applying the historical simulation methodology. The following information about Northern Trust’s management of market risk should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

NII Sensitivity — The modeling of NII sensitivity incorporates on-balance-sheet positions, as well as derivative financial instruments (principally interest rate swaps) that are used to manage interest rate risk. Northern Trust uses market implied forward interest rates as the base case and measures the sensitivity (i.e., change) of a static balance sheet to changes in interest rates. Stress testing of interest rates is performed to include such scenarios as immediate parallel shocks to rates, nonparallel (i.e., twist) changes to yield curves that result in their becoming steeper or flatter, and changes to the relationship among the yield curves (i.e., basis risk).

RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Market Risk (continued)

The NII sensitivity analysis incorporates certain critical assumptions such as interest rates and client behaviors under changing rate environments. These assumptions are based on a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. The simulation cannot precisely estimate NII sensitivity given uncertainty in the assumptions. The following key assumptions are incorporated into the simulation:

▪the balance sheet size and mix remains constant over the simulation horizon with maturing assets and liabilities replaced with instruments with similar terms as those that are maturing, with the exception of certain nonmaturity deposits that are considered short-term in nature and therefore receive a more conservative interest-bearing treatment;

▪prepayments on mortgage loans and securities collateralized by mortgages are projected under each rate scenario using a third-party mortgage analytics system that incorporates market prepayment assumptions;

▪cash flows for structured securities are estimated using a third-party vendor in conjunction with the prepayments provided by the third-party mortgage analytics vendor;

▪nonmaturity deposit pricing is projected based on Northern Trust’s actual historical patterns and management judgment, depending upon the availability of historical data and current pricing strategies/or judgment; and

▪new business rates are based on current spreads to market indices.

The following table shows the estimated NII impact over the next twelve months of 100 and 200 basis point ramps upward and downward in interest rates relative to forward rates as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Each rate movement is assumed to occur gradually over a one-year period.

TABLE 28: NET INTEREST INCOME SENSITIVITY


INCREASE (DECREASE) ESTIMATED IMPACT ON NEXT TWELVE MONTHS OF NET INTEREST INCOME
(In Millions)	JUNE 30, 2026		JUNE 30, 2025
Increase in Interest Rates Above Market Implied Forward Rates
100 Basis Points	$	44	$	69
200 Basis Points	74		147
Decrease in Interest Rates Below Market Implied Forward Rates
100 Basis Points	$	(57)	$	(89)
200 Basis Points	(147)		$	(188)

The NII sensitivity analysis does not incorporate certain management actions that may be used to mitigate adverse effects of actual interest rate movement. For that reason and others, the estimated impacts do not reflect the likely actual results but serve as estimates of interest rate risk. NII sensitivity is not comparable to actual results disclosed elsewhere or directly predictive of future values of other measures provided.

MVE Sensitivity — MVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities, net of the value of financial derivatives that are used to manage the interest rate risk of balance sheet items. The MVE looks at the whole balance sheet, which includes AFS debt securities, HTM debt securities, money market accounts, deposits, loans and wholesale borrowings. The potential effect of interest rate changes on MVE is derived from the impact of such changes on projected future cash flows and the present value of these cash flows and is then compared to the established limit. Northern Trust uses current market rates (and the future rates implied by these market rates) as the base case and measures MVE sensitivity under various rate scenarios. Stress testing of interest rates is performed to include such scenarios as immediate parallel shocks to rates, nonparallel (i.e., twist) changes to yield curves that result in their becoming steeper or flatter, and changes to the relationship among the yield curves (i.e., basis risk).

The MVE sensitivity analysis incorporates certain critical assumptions such as interest rates and client behaviors under changing rate environments. These assumptions are based on a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. The simulation cannot precisely estimate MVE sensitivity given uncertainty in the assumptions. Many of the assumptions that apply to NII sensitivity also apply to MVE sensitivity simulations, with the following separate key assumptions incorporated into the MVE simulation:

▪the present value of nonmaturity deposits is estimated using dynamic decay methodologies or estimated remaining lives, which are based on a combination of Northern Trust’s actual historical runoff patterns and management judgment—some balances are assumed to be core and have longer lives while other balances are assumed to be temporary and have comparatively shorter lives;

▪the present values of most noninterest-bearing balances (such as receivables, equipment, and payables) are the same as their book values; and

▪Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate forward interest rate paths.

RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Market Risk (continued)

The following table shows the estimated impact on MVE of 100 and 200 basis point shocks up and down from current market implied forward rates at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Each rate movement is assumed to occur gradually over a one-year period.

TABLE 29: MARKET VALUE OF EQUITY SENSITIVITY


INCREASE (DECREASE) ESTIMATED IMPACT ON MARKET VALUE OF EQUITY

Decrease in Interest Rates Below Market Implied Forward Rates
100 Basis Points	$	647	$	534
200 Basis Points	1,218		920

The MVE simulations do not incorporate certain management actions that may be used to mitigate adverse effects of actual interest rate movements. For that reason and others, the estimated impacts do not reflect the likely actual results but serve as estimates of interest rate risk. MVE sensitivity is not comparable to actual results disclosed elsewhere or directly predictive of future values of other measures provided.

Value-At-Risk (VaR) — Northern Trust measures daily the risk of loss associated with trading positions using a VaR model and applying the historical simulation methodology. This statistical model provides estimates, based on high confidence levels, of the potential loss in value that might be incurred if an adverse shift in foreign exchange rates and interest rates were to occur over a small number of days. The model incorporates foreign currency and interest rate volatilities and correlations in price movements among the currencies and interest rates. VaR is computed for each trading desk and for the global portfolio.

Northern Trust monitors several variations of the VaR measures to meet specific regulatory and internal management needs. Variations include different methodologies (historical simulation, Monte Carlo simulation and Taylor approximation), horizons of one day and ten days, confidence levels of 95% and 99%, subcomponent VaRs using only foreign exchange (FX) drivers, only interest rate (IR) drivers, and only volatility drivers, and look-back periods of one year, two years, and four years. Those alternative measures provide management an array of corroborating metrics and alternative perspectives on Northern Trust’s market risks.

The following table presents the levels of total regulatory VaR and its subcomponents, covering global foreign exchange (GFX), foreign currency balances, and interest rate derivatives combined, in the periods indicated below, based on the historical simulation methodology, a 99% confidence level, a one-day horizon and equally weighted volatility. The total VaR is typically less than the sum of its three subcomponents due to diversification benefits derived from interactions among the three drivers.

Quarter-End	0.3		0.3		0.3		0.2		0.3		0.2		0.1		0.1		0.1

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, Northern Trust did not incur an actual GFX trading loss in excess of the daily GFX VaR estimate.

Foreign currency balances arise not from executing trades but rather in the course of regular business operations, namely from non-U.S.-dollar-denominated revenues and expenses accruing onto the Corporation’s balance sheet.

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT

The following table presents a reconciliation of Interest Income, Net Interest Income, Net Interest Margin, and Total Revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP to such measures on an FTE basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Net Interest Margin is calculated by dividing annualized Net Interest Income by average interest-earning assets. Management believes this presentation provides a clearer indication of these financial measures for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on Net Income.
