(1)Calculated on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis, which represents a non-GAAP measure, assuming a 21% tax rate. See Page 6 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional yield/rate detail.
Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the third quarter increased $18 million, or 1%, from the prior quarter, driven by a 4 basis point increase in the net interest margin (NIM). The increase in NIM reflected higher earning-asset yields, primarily from reinvestment into higher yielding investment securities, and a decrease in average total borrowings, partially offset by higher deposit costs.
•Average earning assets decreased $3.3 billion, or 1%, primarily due to a $2.7 billion, or 16%, decrease in interest-earning deposits with banks and a $806 million decrease in average loans and leases.
•The yield on total investment and other securities increased quarter-over-quarter.
•Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $3.3 billion, or 2%, primarily due to a $3.6 billion, or 16%, decrease in average total borrowings, partially offset by a $267 million increase in interest-bearing deposits.
•The average cost of total deposits increased 2 basis points quarter-over-quarter.
Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the third quarter increased $567 million, or 37%, from the year-ago quarter, driven by higher average earning assets and an increase in NIM, partially offset by higher interest-bearing liabilities. NIM was 3.25%, up 12 basis points, reflecting a decrease in deposit costs, partially offset by lower earning-asset yields.
•Average earning assets increased $62.5 billion, or 32%, primarily due to a $52.5 billion, or 39%, increase in average loans and leases driven by loans acquired in the Cadence and Veritex acquisitions, in addition to organic loan growth.
•The yield on the total loan and lease portfolio was 5.84%, a decrease of 12 basis points.
•Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $48.5 billion, or 31%, primarily due to a $47.9 billion, or 35%, increase in interest-bearing deposits driven by deposits acquired in the Cadence and Veritex acquisitions, in addition to organic deposit growth.
•The average cost of total deposits was 1.90%, a decrease of 10 basis points.

NM - Not Meaningful
(1)In the third quarter of 2026, we reclassified insurance income and leasing revenue into other noninterest income. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.
Noninterest income decreased $63 million, or 8%, from the prior quarter. Excluding the impact of Notable Items, noninterest income decreased $55 million, or 7%, from the prior quarter.
•Capital markets and advisory fees decreased primarily due to lower underwriting and advisory fees.
•Other noninterest income decreased due largely to unfavorable valuation changes for strategic investment and other investments and a decrease in leasing revenue.
Compared with the year-ago quarter, noninterest income increased $94 million, or 15%. Excluding the impact of Notable Items, noninterest income increased $126 million, or 21%, over the year-ago quarter.
•The third quarter of 2026 included the full quarter impact of the Cadence and Veritex acquisitions.
•Payments and cash management revenue increased driven by higher cash management and interchange revenue.
•Capital markets and advisory fees increased primarily due to fees from the legacy business and the impact of Janney and TM Capital, in addition to higher syndication fees.
•Wealth and asset management revenue increased due largely to higher investment management and trust income.
•Customer deposit and loan fees increased driven by increases in loan commitment fees and the volume of personal service charges.

See Pages 9-11 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.
NPAs totaled $1.7 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $110 million from the prior quarter primarily driven by increases in commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and residential mortgage NALs. Compared to a year ago, NPAs were up $901 million driven by increases in commercial and industrial, residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and home equity NALs, including NALs acquired as part of the Cadence and Veritex transactions.
The provision for credit losses was $123 million in the 2026 third quarter, a decrease of $9 million quarter-over-quarter and an increase of $1 million year-over-year. NCOs of $146 million increased $27 million quarter-over-quarter and $71 million year-over-year. NCOs represented an annualized 0.31% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, up from 0.25% in the prior quarter and 0.22% in the year-ago quarter. Commercial and consumer net charge-offs were 0.27% and 0.38%, respectively, for the 2026 third quarter.
The ALLL was $3.2 billion and the ACL was $3.4 billion at September 30, 2026. The ACL ratio was 1.75% at September 30, 2026, 3 basis points lower than the prior quarter and 11 basis points lower than a year-ago.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.9% at September 30, 2026, compared to 7.1% at June 30, 2026, with the decrease primarily due to a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income from higher market interest rates, as well as an increase in tangible assets driven by higher interest-earning deposits with banks, partially offset by current period earnings, net of dividends and share repurchases. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio was 10.1% at September 30, 2026, compared to 10.0% at June 30, 2026, with the increase driven by current period earnings, net of dividends, partially offset by the impact of share repurchases and modestly higher risk-weighted assets.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $172 million in the 2026 third quarter, compared to $165 million in the 2026 second quarter. The effective tax rate for the 2026 third quarter was 19.3%, compared to 18.4% for the 2026 second quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by higher non-deductible expenses in the current quarter.

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-ir.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.
