CEO Commentary:

"We are very pleased with our outstanding financial performance for the fourth quarter which included the fourth consecutive quarter of record PPNR," said Steve Steinour, chairman, president and CEO. "The year was marked by the successful execution of key strategic initiatives and acquisition synergies which further expanded our capabilities and supported the achievement of our medium-term financial targets.

"Record full-year PPNR was driven by higher net interest income and noninterest income, along with disciplined expense management. We delivered broad-based loan growth and continued to grow our high quality deposit base over the course of the year. Strategic areas of focus for fee income also expanded, with capital markets achieving record revenue, with strong core performance plus the acquisition of Capstone. We completed the cost synergies from TCF, which provided additional scale and efficiencies in numerous areas across the bank, even as we continued to invest in key revenue-producing initiatives.

“Credit continued to perform very well, with full-year net charge-offs of 11 basis points, well below our through-the-cycle target, and nonperforming assets declined for the sixth consecutive quarter.

“Given our growing capital base, and robust profitability profile, we are pleased to announce a share repurchase program as we enter the new year, consistent with our capital priorities. While we recognize the uncertain economic outlook on the horizon, we enter 2023 from a position of strength. Huntington has never been better positioned to navigate through various economic scenarios, with solid capital levels and top tier reserve profile guided by our aggregate moderate-to-low risk appetite through the cycle. Business line momentum continues in the new year and we are driving value for shareholders.”

Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the 2022 fourth quarter increased $333 million, or 29%, from the 2021 fourth quarter. The results primarily reflect a 67 basis point increase in the FTE net interest margin (NIM) to 3.52% and a $6.9 billion, or 4%, increase in average earning assets. The expansion in NIM was driven by the higher rate environment driving an increase in loan and lease and investment security yields, partially offset by higher cost of funds. Net interest income in the 2022 fourth quarter included $11 million of net interest income from purchase accounting accretion and $1 million of PPP loan fees recognized upon forgiveness payments, compared to $25 million and $20 million, respectively, in the 2021 fourth quarter.
Compared to the 2022 third quarter, FTE net interest income increased $59 million, or 4%, reflecting 10 basis points of NIM expansion and a $1.5 billion, or 1%, increase in average earning assets. The expansion in NIM was driven by the higher interest rate environment driving an increase in loan and lease and investment security yields, partially offset by higher cost of funds. Net interest income in the 2022 third quarter included $15 million of net interest income from purchase accounting accretion and $4 million of PPP loan fees recognized upon forgiveness payments.

Average total deposits increased $3.4 billion, or 2%, while average total core deposits increased $2.7 billion, or 2%, primarily driven by higher average commercial core deposits of $3.0 billion, or 5%. Average total debt increased $5.2 billion, or 65%, reflecting higher FHLB borrowings and new debt issuances, reflecting actions taken as part of normal management of funding needs.

6


Compared to the 2022 third quarter, average total interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.3 billion, or 4%. The increase was primarily due to higher FHLB borrowings and new debt issuances which were leveraged during the quarter to optimize the funding profile.
Ending total deposits as of December 31, 2022 increased $4.6 billion, or 3%, compared to a year ago, led by higher commercial core deposits of $2.6 billion, or 4%, and other deposits of $1.9 billion reflecting actions taken as part of normal management of funding needs.
Compared to September 30, 2022, ending total deposits increased $1.6 billion, or 1%, led by higher consumer core deposits of $1.6 billion, or 2%, and other deposits of $1.1 billion as part of normal management of funding needs. Partially offsetting these increases were lower ending commercial core deposits of $1.0 billion, or 1.6%.

Total noninterest income for the 2022 fourth quarter decreased $16 million, or 3%, from the year-ago quarter. Capital markets fees increased $36 million, or 77%, primarily reflecting Capstone related advisory fees. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in mortgage banking income of $36 million, or 59%, primarily reflecting lower salable volume and secondary marketing spreads. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $12 million, or 12%, primarily reflecting impact from Fair Play enhancements implemented in the second half of 2022.
Total noninterest income increased $1 million, to $499 million for the 2022 fourth quarter, compared to $498 million for the 2022 third quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher capital markets fees which increased $10 million, or 14%, due to higher advisory fees and leasing revenue which increased $6 million, or 21%, reflecting an increase in income on terminated leases. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $13 million, or 87%, resulting from the strategic decision to retain SBA loans.

Reported total noninterest expense for the 2022 fourth quarter decreased $144 million, or 12%, from the year-ago quarter. The decrease primarily reflects the $172 million decrease in Notable Items and execution of cost reduction initiatives associated with the TCF acquisition. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher personnel costs and other noninterest expense reflecting the impact from Capstone expenses attributable to revenue activity. Additional increases in personnel costs were largely due to impact of merit increases.
Reported total noninterest expense increased $24 million, or 2%, from the 2022 third quarter, reflecting a $5 million increase in Notable Items to $15 million. Excluding the impact from Notable Items, noninterest expense increased $19 million, or 2%, primarily driven by personnel costs and other noninterest expense reflecting the impact from Capstone expenses attributable to revenue activity. Additional increases in personnel costs were largely due to seasonally higher medical insurance expense. Equipment expenses increased $6 million, or 10%, primarily driven by higher depreciation, including the impact from early retirement of select assets and higher technology investments. Partially offsetting these increases was lower net occupancy which decreased $6 million, or 11%, due to gains associated with sale of assets.

Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $594 million, or 0.50%, of total loans and leases, OREO and other NPAs, compared to $750 million, or 0.67%, a year-ago. Nonaccrual loans and leases (NALs) were $569 million, or 0.48% of total loans and leases, compared to $716 million, or 0.64% of total loans and leases, a year ago. On a linked quarter basis, NPAs decreased $33 million, or 5%, and NALs decreased $33 million, or 5%.
The provision for credit losses increased $155 million year-over-year and decreased $15 million quarter-over-quarter to $91 million in the 2022 fourth quarter. Net charge-offs (NCOs) increased $16 million year-over-year and increased $6 million quarter-over-quarter to $50 million. NCOs represented an annualized 0.17% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, up from 0.12% in the year-ago quarter and up from 0.15% in the prior quarter. The increase in NCOs reflects the continued normalization of net charge-offs. Commercial and consumer net charge-offs remained low at 0.13% and 0.22%, respectively, for the 2022 fourth quarter.
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) increased $91 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.1 billion, or 1.77%, and allowance for credit losses (ACL) increased by $164 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.3 billion, or 1.90% of total loans and leases, primarily driven by loan and lease portfolio growth but also recognizing the increased near-term recessionary risks at the end of 2022. On a linked quarter basis, the ACL increased $41 million, resulting in a 1 basis point increase in the ACL coverage ratio, primarily attributable to a deterioration in the macro-economic environment.

(1)December 31, 2022 figures are estimated. Amounts are presented on a Basel III standardized approach basis for calculating risk-weighted assets. The capital ratios reflect Huntington’s 2020 election of a five-year transition to delay for two years the full impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. As of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022 25% of the cumulative CECL deferral has been phased in.
See Page 16 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 5.55% at December 31, 2022, up 23 basis points from last quarter due primarily to current period earnings. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio was 9.44%, up from 9.27% from the prior quarter. The increase in regulatory capital ratios was primarily driven by current period earnings. In addition, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $1 billion of common shares over the next eight quarters, 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.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $144 million in the 2022 fourth quarter compared to $146 million in the 2022 third quarter. The effective tax rate for the 2022 fourth quarter and 2022 third quarter were 18.2% and 19.7%, respectively. The variance between the linked quarter provision for income taxes and effective tax rate was primarily driven by the impact of a discrete tax benefit in the current quarter offsetting impact from higher pre-tax income.

At December 31, 2022, we had a net federal deferred tax asset of $437 million and a net state deferred tax asset of $97 million.

Basis of Presentation

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Huntington’s 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 in this document, the financial supplement, conference call slides, or the Form 8-K related to this document, all of which can be found in the Investor Relations section of Huntington’s website, http://www.huntington.com.

Annualized Data
Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. For example, loan and deposit growth rates, as well as net charge-off percentages, are most often expressed in terms of an annual rate like 8%. As such, a 2% growth rate for a quarter would represent an annualized 8% growth rate.

Fully-Taxable Equivalent Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt municipal securities and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to results of competitors.

Rounding
Please note that columns of data in this document may not add due to rounding.

Notable Items
From time to time, revenue, expenses, or taxes are impacted by items judged by management to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management at that time to be infrequent or short term in nature. We refer to such items as “Notable Items.” Management believes it is useful to consider certain financial metrics with and without Notable Items, in order to enable a better understanding of company results, increase comparability of period-to-period results, and to evaluate and forecast those results.
