Other than the Quarterly Financial Review tables beginning on page 14 of the 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.

 

 

From Tim Spence, Fifth Third President and CEO:

 

 

Fifth Third’s financial results once again reflected our balance sheet strength, disciplined credit risk management, and diversified revenue streams. We have continued to navigate the uncertain economic environment well, including delivering solid deposit outcomes once again this quarter. Additionally, our key return metrics improved compared to the year-ago quarter while we continued to raise our regulatory capital ratios through strong earnings results.

We continue to prudently invest in this environment, adding net new households in consumer and new quality middle market relationships in commercial. Furthermore, we announced the acquisition of Rize Money to accelerate our embedded payments capabilities under the Newline brand. We also de-emphasized certain areas of the bank in order to optimize capital and returns going forward, including lowering production targets in indirect secured consumer lending.

While the economic and regulatory environments remain uncertain, Fifth Third has spent nearly a decade focused on positioning the bank to outperform peers through the cycle. Going forward, we will continue to follow our guiding principles of stability, profitability, and growth – in that order.

Balance sheet actions continued to reflect a defensive positioning given the uncertain macroeconomic outlook and tightening liquidity conditions. As a result, NII decreased $59 million, or 4%, compared to the prior quarter. Actions undertaken during the quarter include a continuation of deposit gathering activities, which sustained the recent deposit mix shift trends from demand to interest-bearing accounts with higher costs. These increased deposit costs were partially offset by improved loan yields from higher market rates and the impact of higher day count. Compared to the prior quarter, NIM decreased 19 bps, primarily reflecting the aforementioned deposit dynamics and the impact of higher day count, partially offset by higher loan yields. NIM results continue to be impacted by the decision to carry elevated liquidity given the environment, with the combination of cash and due from banks and other short term investments reaching $14 billion at quarter-end.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII increased $121 million, or 9%, reflecting the net benefit of higher market rates, as well as growth in C&I loan balances and investment portfolio balances, partially offset by the deposit mix shift from demand to interest-bearing accounts and continued deposit repricing dynamics. Compared to the year-ago quarter, NIM increased 18 bps, reflecting the net benefit of higher market rates, growth in C&I loan balances and average investment portfolio balances, and a decline in excess cash, partially offset by the aforementioned deposit dynamics and an increase in wholesale funding.

Noninterest income excluding certain items increased $26 million, or 4%, from the prior quarter, and increased $17 million, or 2%, from the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits increased $7 million, or 5%, reflecting an increase in both consumer and commercial deposit fees. Commercial banking revenue decreased $15 million, or 9%, primarily reflecting lower loan syndication and M&A advisory revenue, partially offset by an increase in client financial risk management revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $10 million, or 14%, primarily reflecting an increase in MSR asset decay and a decrease in MSR net valuation adjustments, partially offset by an increase in origination fees and gains on loan sales. Wealth and asset management revenue decreased $3 million, or 2%, primarily driven by seasonally strong tax-related private client service revenue in the prior quarter, partially offset by higher personal asset management revenue. Card and processing revenue increased $6 million, or 6%, driven by higher interchange revenue. Leasing business revenue decreased $10 million, or 18%, reflecting lower lease remarketing revenue. The increase in other noninterest income was attributable to equity fund and direct investment income.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits decreased $10 million, or 6%, primarily reflecting the market related impact of higher earnings credits and the elimination of consumer non-sufficient funds fees in July 2022. Commercial banking revenue increased $9 million, or 7%, primarily driven by increased loan syndication revenue and client financial risk management revenue, partially offset by a decrease in M&A advisory revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $28 million, or 90%, reflecting an increase from MSR net valuation adjustments and a decrease in MSR asset decay, partially offset by lower origination fees and gains on loan sales. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $3 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting higher personal asset management revenue. Card and processing revenue increased $1 million, or 1%, driven by higher interchange revenue partially offset by higher rewards. Leasing business revenue decreased $9 million, or 16%, reflecting lower lease remarketing revenue.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items decreased $100 million, or 8%, primarily driven by decreases in compensation and benefits expense, technology and communications expense, and leasing business expense. Noninterest expense in the current quarter included a $10 million expense related to the impact of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market compared to a $12 million expense in the prior quarter (both of which were largely offset in net securities gains through noninterest income).

Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items increased $107 million, or 10%, primarily reflecting an increase in compensation and benefits expense impacted by the acquisition of Dividend Finance and the minimum wage increase in July 2022, higher technology and communications expense related to continued modernization investments, as well as an increase in other noninterest expense (primarily reflecting the ongoing impact of the FDIC assessment to increase the deposit insurance fund). The year-ago quarter included a $27 million benefit to noninterest expense related to non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market (which was largely offset in net securities losses through noninterest income). Excluding the impacts of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market and the FDIC assessment, noninterest expense excluding certain items increased $61 million, or 5%, compared to the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the prior quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases were flat, reflecting stable commercial and consumer portfolios. Average commercial portfolio loans and leases were flat, reflecting stable commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances. Average consumer portfolio loans were flat, as an increase in other consumer loans (primarily Dividend Finance) was offset by a decrease in indirect secured consumer loan and home equity balances.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases increased 5%, reflecting an increase in both commercial and consumer portfolios. Average commercial portfolio loans and leases increased 5%, primarily reflecting an increase in C&I and commercial mortgage loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in commercial lease balances. Average consumer portfolio loans increased 5%, as increases in both other consumer loans (primarily Dividend Finance) and residential mortgage loan balances were partially offset by a decrease in indirect secured consumer loan balances.

Average loans and leases held for sale were $0.7 billion in the current quarter compared to $0.8 billion in the prior quarter and $2.5 billion in the year-ago quarter.

Average securities (taxable and tax-exempt; amortized cost) of $57 billion in the current quarter decreased $1 billion, or 2%, compared to the prior quarter and increased $3 billion, or 5%, compared to the year-ago quarter. Average other short-term investments (including interest-bearing cash) of $8 billion in the current quarter increased $3 billion, or 48%, compared to the prior quarter and decreased $2 billion, or 19%, compared to the year-ago quarter.

Total period-end commercial portfolio loans and leases of $76 billion decreased 1% compared to the prior quarter, reflecting decreases in C&I loan balances primarily attributable to lower revolving line of credit utilization. Compared to the year-ago quarter, total period-end commercial portfolio loans increased 2%, primarily reflecting increases in C&I loan and commercial mortgage loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in commercial lease balances. Period-end commercial revolving line utilization was 35%, compared to 37% in the prior quarter and 37% in the year-ago quarter.

Period-end consumer portfolio loans of $46 billion were flat compared to the prior quarter, as an increase in other consumer loan balances (primarily Dividend Finance) was offset by a decrease in indirect secured consumer loan balances. Compared to the year-ago quarter, total period-end consumer portfolio loans increased 4%, reflecting increases in other consumer loan balances (primarily Dividend Finance), partially offset by a decrease in indirect secured consumer loans.

Total period-end securities (taxable and tax-exempt; amortized cost) of $57 billion in the current quarter decreased $1 billion, or 2%, compared to the prior quarter and were stable compared to the year-ago quarter. Period-end other short-term investments of approximately $11 billion increased $1 billion, or 12%, compared to the prior quarter, and increased $4 billion, or 47%, compared to the year-ago quarter.

Compared to the prior quarter, average wholesale funding increased 8%, primarily reflecting an increase in FHLB advances and CDs over $250,000 (which consists almost entirely of retail brokered CDs which are covered by FDIC insurance), partially offset by lower long-term debt. Compared to the year-ago quarter, average wholesale funding increased 62%, primarily reflecting an increase in CDs over $250,000, FHLB advances, and long-term debt to further strengthen Fifth Third's balance sheet and liquidity position.
