CEO Commentary:
“Our second quarter results reflect the ongoing successful execution of our organic growth strategy." said Steve Steinour, chairman, president, and CEO. "We are acquiring new customers, deepening relationships, and expanding both net interest income and fee-based revenue through the strength of our product suite and capabilities."

"Our sustained growth reflects focused execution across both our core businesses and new growth initiatives. We are leveraging our scale as we further expand our well-diversified loan portfolio and continue to deepen client relationships. We have seen both loans and deposits growth of approximately $10 billion over the last year. Our commercial specialty banking teams are delivering solid results, as we broaden capabilities and extend our national reach. The Huntington brand is gaining traction and attracting clients in our newer markets—North and South Carolina and Texas, where the combination with Veritex further supports our long-term growth ambitions."

"Credit continues to perform well, demonstrated by improved net-charge offs and stable levels of criticized and non-performing assets. This is evidence of our disciplined credit risk management and client selection."

"We remain confident in our ability to execute our strategy and sustain strong growth, while maintaining our disciplined approach to risk management. We have never been better positioned."

Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the 2025 second quarter increased $158 million, or 12%, from the 2024 second quarter. The results primarily reflect a $13.0 billion, or 7%, increase in average earning assets and a 12 basis point increase in the net interest margin (NIM) to 3.11%, partially offset by a $12.9 billion, or 9%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The 12 basis point increase in NIM reflected net hedging activity and a decrease in cost of funding, partially offset by a decrease in yields on interest earning assets.
Compared to the 2025 first quarter, FTE net interest income increased $42 million, or 3%, driven by an increase in average earning assets of $2.8 billion, or 1%, and an increase in NIM of 1 basis point to 3.11%, partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $2.2 billion, or 1%.

During the quarter, Huntington sold approximately $900 million of corporate debt investment securities, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $58 million. Huntington has completed the re-investment of proceeds within the quarter, re-investing in 0% risk-weighted investment securities, with an expected earn-back from the transaction of less than 3 years.
Total noninterest income for the 2025 second quarter decreased $20 million, or 4%, from the year-ago quarter. The 2025 second quarter included a $58 million loss on the sale of investment securities discussed previously and $5 million of contra revenue related to premium costs and mark-to-market associated with credit risk transfer transactions, while the 2024 second quarter included $9 million of contra revenue related to the credit risk transfer transactions. Excluding the impact from these items, noninterest income increased $34 million, or 7%. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $12 million, or 13%, largely due to higher trust and investment management income. Customer deposit and loan fees increased $12 million, or 14%, primarily due to higher loan commitment fees. Payments and cash management revenue increased $11 million, or 7%, driven by higher merchant acquiring and cash management revenues. Capital markets and advisory fees increased $11 million, or 15%, primarily due to commercial loan production related activities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in leasing revenue of $9 million, or 47%, due to lower operating lease income and income on terminated leases.
Total noninterest income decreased $23 million, or 5%, compared to the 2025 first quarter. The 2025 second quarter included a $58 million loss on the sale of investment securities discussed previously and $5 million of contra revenue related to premium costs and mark-to-market associated with credit risk transfer transactions, while the 2025 first quarter included $3 million of contra revenue related to the credit risk transfer transactions. Excluding the impact from these items, noninterest income increased $37 million, or 7%. Capital markets and advisory fees increased $17 million, or 25%, primarily due to higher advisory fees. Payments and cash management revenue increased $10 million, or 6%, primarily due to higher card transaction revenue.

Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $852 million, or 0.63%, of total loans and leases, OREO and other NPAs, compared to $780 million, or 0.63%, a year-ago. Nonaccrual loans and leases (NALs) were $842 million, or 0.62% of total loans and leases, compared to $733 million, or 0.59% of total loans and leases, a year-ago. The increase in NPAs was driven by an increase in commercial and industrial NALs, partially offset by decreases in commercial real estate NALs and other NPAs. On a linked quarter basis, NPAs increased $48 million, and NALs increased $94 million, or 13%. The increase in NPAs was primarily driven by increases in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate NALs, partially offset by a decrease in other NPAs.
The provision for credit losses increased $3 million year-over-year and decreased $12 million quarter-over-quarter to $103 million in the 2025 second quarter. Net charge-offs (NCOs) decreased $24 million year-over-year and $20 million quarter-over-quarter to $66 million. NCOs represented an annualized 0.20% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, down from 0.29% and 0.26% in the year-ago quarter and prior quarter, respectively. Commercial and consumer net charge-offs were 0.16% and 0.25%, respectively, for the 2025 second quarter.
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) increased $27 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.3 billion, or 1.73% of total loans and leases. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) increased by $92 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.5 billion, or 1.86% of total loans and leases, 1 basis point lower than the prior quarter and 8 basis points lower than the year-ago quarter.

(1)June 30, 2025 figures are estimated. The capital ratios reflect Huntington’s election to delay the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the impact of the CECL deferral was fully phased in, while 75% of the impact of the CECL deferral was phased in at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024.
See Pages 16-17 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.
The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.6% at June 30, 2025, an increase from 6.3% at March 31, 2025, driven by an increase in tangible common equity from current period earnings, net of dividends, and an improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio was 10.5% at June 30, 2025, compared to 10.6% at March 31, 2025, with higher risk-weighted assets during the quarter partially offset by current period earnings, net of dividends.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $96 million in the 2025 second quarter compared to $122 million in the 2025 first quarter. The effective tax rate for the 2025 second quarter was 15.0%, compared to 18.6% for the 2025 first quarter, with the decrease quarter-over-quarter driven by the remeasurement of deferred tax assets for changes in certain state tax laws which were enacted during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
At June 30, 2025, we had a net federal deferred tax asset of $674 million and a net state deferred tax asset of $106 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 items 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.
