Other than the Quarterly Financial Review tables beginning on page 14 of the 3Q22 earnings release, commentary is on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis unless otherwise noted. Consistent with SEC guidance in Regulation S-K that contemplates the calculation of tax-exempt income on a taxable-equivalent basis, net interest income, net interest margin, net interest rate spread, total revenue and the efficiency ratio are provided on an FTE basis.

 

 

CEO Commentary

Our third quarter financial results were strong and reflected our disciplined approach throughout the bank. We generated record adjusted revenue driven by interest-earning assets growth combined with a 30 basis point improvement in our net interest margin. We also achieved one of our lowest adjusted efficiency ratios over the past decade reflecting our expense discipline.

We extended our track record of strong organic growth, adding new quality relationships in commercial and new households in consumer. Provide and Dividend Finance - our recent fintech acquisitions - have also contributed to our healthy loan growth with record originations. We are committed throughout the bank to continuous improvement and developing innovative, software-led solutions to deliver best-in-class products and services.

Fifth Third has been built to perform well through-the-cycle. Our key credit quality metrics in both commercial and consumer portfolios remain resilient, reflecting our focus on high-quality relationships and disciplined approach to client selection. We remain well positioned to outperform peers and generate long-term sustainable value for customers, communities, employees and shareholders.

-Tim Spence, President and CEO

Compared to the prior quarter, NII increased $160 million, or 12%, primarily reflecting higher market rates, growth in commercial loan balances, the full quarter impact of securities purchased in the second quarter, as well as a higher day count, partially offset by an increase in wholesale funding primarily due to a decline in average core deposit balances. Compared to the prior quarter, NIM increased 30 bps, reflecting the net benefit of higher market rates as well as a decrease in other short-term investments (primarily interest-bearing cash), partially offset by the aforementioned increase in wholesale funding.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII increased $310 million, or 26%, reflecting the net benefit of higher market rates, as well as growth in investment portfolio balances and C&I loan balances, partially offset by lower PPP-related income and lower interest income from government guaranteed mortgage buyouts. Compared to the year-ago quarter, NIM increased 63 bps, reflecting the benefit of higher market rates as well as growth in investment portfolio balances, partially offset by a decrease in other short-term investments (primarily interest-bearing cash).

Reported noninterest income decreased $4 million, or 1%, from the prior quarter, and decreased $164 million, or 20%, from the year-ago quarter. The reported results reflect the impact of certain items in the table below. Reported current quarter results included $38 million of net securities losses, which included $7 million in net losses attributable to mark-to-market impacts related to investments supporting non-qualified deferred compensation plans, as well as a $28 million net loss attributable to market value changes on Fifth Third's shares of Rubicon Technologies, Inc. and AvidXchange Holdings, Inc.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest income excluding certain items decreased $5 million, or 1%. Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest income excluding certain items decreased $67 million, or 8%.

Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits decreased $11 million, or 7%, reflecting the impact of higher treasury management earnings credits which more than offset gross revenue growth, as well as the elimination of consumer non-sufficient funds fees. Commercial banking revenue decreased $3 million, or 2%, primarily driven by lower M&A advisory revenue and corporate bond fees, partially offset by higher loan syndication revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $38 million, or 123%, primarily reflecting a $19 million reduction in MSR asset decay and an $18 million increase from MSR net valuation adjustments. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $1 million, or 1%, primarily driven by increased high-net-worth insurance revenue, partially offset by a decline in personal asset management revenue. Card and processing revenue was flat as lower rewards were offset by lower spend volumes. Leasing business revenue increased $4 million, or 7%, primarily reflecting higher lease remarketing revenue. The decrease in other noninterest income was primarily attributable to lower private equity income.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits decreased $9 million, or 6%, reflecting higher treasury management earnings credits and the elimination of consumer non-sufficient funds fees. Commercial banking revenue decreased $18 million, or 12%, primarily driven by decreases in corporate bond fees, M&A advisory revenue, and loan syndication revenue, partially offset by an increase in client financial risk management revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $17 million, or 20%, reflecting a $54 million decrease in origination fees and gains on loan sales and a $10 million reduction from MSR net valuation adjustments, partially offset by a $29 million decrease in MSR asset decay and an $18 million increase in mortgage servicing revenue. Wealth and asset management revenue decreased $6 million, or 4%, primarily reflecting lower personal asset management revenue impacted by market valuations. Card and processing revenue increased $3 million, or 3%, driven by higher spend volumes partially offset by higher rewards. Leasing business revenue decreased $18 million, or 23%, reflecting the disposition of LaSalle Solutions, partially offset by an increase in lease remarketing revenue. The decrease in other noninterest income was primarily attributable to lower private equity income.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest expense increased $55 million, or 5%. Noninterest expense in the current quarter included a $7 million benefit related to the impact of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market (compared to a $27 million benefit in the prior quarter). Excluding the non-qualified deferred compensation impacts from both periods, total noninterest expense increased $35 million, or 3%, primarily driven by higher technology and marketing expense, the full quarter impact of the Dividend Finance acquisition, and the impact of the recent minimum wage increase.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense decreased $5 million primarily reflecting a decrease in compensation and benefits expense. This was partially offset by an increase in technology and communications expense related to continued modernization investments as well as higher marketing expense.

Compared to the prior quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases increased 2%, reflecting an increase in both commercial and consumer portfolios. Average commercial portfolio loans and leases increased 2%, primarily reflecting an increase in commercial and industrial (C&I) and commercial construction loan balances. Average consumer portfolio loans increased 1%, reflecting an increase in other consumer loan balances (primarily Dividend Finance) and residential mortgage loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in indirect secured consumer loan balances.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases increased 11%, reflecting an increase in both commercial and consumer portfolios. Average commercial portfolio loans and leases increased 13%, primarily reflecting an increase in C&I loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in commercial lease balances. Average consumer portfolio loans increased 7%, as increases in both residential mortgage and indirect secured consumer loan balances were partially offset by a decrease in home equity balances.

Average loans and leases held for sale were $2 billion in the current quarter compared to $3 billion in the prior quarter and $6 billion in the year-ago quarter. Current quarter average loans and leases held for sale were impacted by a decline in residential mortgage balances (primarily from a decline in government guaranteed mortgage buyouts).

Average securities (taxable and tax-exempt) of $58 billion in the current quarter increased $3 billion, or 6%, compared to the prior quarter and increased $21 billion, or 55%, compared to the year-ago quarter. Average other short-term investments (including interest-bearing cash) of $6 billion in the current quarter decreased $4 billion, or 40%, compared to the prior quarter and decreased $26 billion, or 82%, compared to the year-ago quarter.

Total period-end commercial portfolio loans and leases of $76 billion increased 1% compared to the prior quarter, primarily reflecting an increase in C&I balances. Compared to the year-ago quarter, total period-end commercial portfolio loans increased 14%, primarily reflecting an increase in C&I balances, partially offset by a decrease in commercial lease balances. Period-end commercial revolving line utilization was 37%, compared to 37% in the prior quarter and 31% in the year-ago quarter.

Period-end consumer portfolio loans of $44 billion increased 1% compared to the prior quarter, primarily reflecting an increase in other consumer loan balances (primarily Dividend Finance) and home equity balances, partially offset by a decrease in indirect secured consumer loan balances. Compared to the year-ago quarter, total period-end consumer portfolio loans increased 7%, reflecting an increase in residential mortgage balances and other consumer loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in home equity balances.

Total period-end securities (taxable and tax-exempt; amortized cost) of $58 billion in the current quarter increased $1 billion, or 2%, compared to the prior quarter and increased $21 billion, or 57%, compared to the year-ago quarter. Period-end other short-term investments of $7 billion decreased $1 billion, or 11%, compared to the prior quarter and decreased $28 billion, or 81%, compared to the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, average core deposits decreased 3%, primarily reflecting the aforementioned commercial deposit runoff. Average commercial transaction deposits decreased 10% and average consumer transaction deposits increased 5%. Period end core deposits decreased 3% compared to the year-ago quarter.

The period end portfolio loan-to-core deposit ratio was 75% in the current quarter, compared to 75% in the prior quarter and 65% in the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the prior quarter, average wholesale funding increased 40%, as earning asset growth outpaced core deposit balances. The growth in wholesale funding was primarily attributed to increases in other short-term borrowings and jumbo CD balances. Compared to the year-ago quarter, average wholesale funding increased 60%, reflecting increases in other short-term borrowings, jumbo CD balances, and federal funds purchased, partially offset by decreases in long-term debt.
