From Tim Spence, Fifth Third Chairman, President and CEO:
Fifth Third delivered strong operating results in 2023 while continuing to successfully navigate the challenging environment. We generated record revenue while prudently managing expenses and continuing to invest in our businesses. Our credit metrics reflect disciplined credit risk management, with net charge-offs for the quarter in-line with our expectations.
In the fourth quarter, we successfully completed our risk-weighted assets initiative and accreted nearly 50 basis points of CET1 capital. We generated another quarter of strong deposit growth, with average deposits up 5% compared to the year-ago quarter while the industry declined 3%. Additionally, we maintained full Category 1 LCR compliance during the quarter.

We continued to invest for growth by opening 19 branches during the quarter, 18 of which are in our high-growth Southeast markets, and generated consumer household growth of 3% compared to the prior year. Our new quality middle market relationships in commercial continued to grow at a record pace.

While the economic and regulatory environments remain uncertain, we remain well positioned to respond to a range of potential economic and regulatory outcomes. We will continue to follow our guiding principles of stability, profitability, and growth – in that order.

NII decreased $22 million, or 2%, compared to the prior quarter. During the quarter, the risk-weighted asset reduction initiative was completed, and strong core deposit growth continued. Balance sheet positioning and deposit performance continue to provide flexibility in managing through a range of uncertain economic and regulatory environments. The impacts of increasing deposit costs due to higher average market rates and continued competition were partially offset by improved loan yields and the funding benefits from the core deposit balance growth. Compared to the prior quarter, NIM decreased 13 bps, reflecting the impact of higher cash balances due to the combined impact of the decrease in average loans and the growth in core deposits. NIM will continue to be impacted by the decision to carry additional liquidity, with the combination of cash and due from banks and other short-term investments exceeding $25 billion at quarter-end.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII decreased $159 million, or 10%, reflecting the impact of the deposit mix shift from demand to interest-bearing accounts and continued deposit repricing dynamics, partially offset by higher loan yields. Compared to the year-ago quarter, NIM decreased 50 bps, reflecting the impact of higher market rates and their effects on deposit pricing and the decision to carry additional liquidity, partially offset by higher loan yields.

Noninterest income excluding certain items increased $19 million, or 3%, from the prior quarter, and decreased $26 million, or 3%, from the year-ago quarter.
Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits decreased $3 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting a decrease in consumer deposit fees due to the elimination of extended overdraft fees. Commercial banking revenue increased $9 million, or 6%, primarily reflecting higher institutional brokerage revenue, business lending fees, and corporate bond fees, partially offset by a decrease in loan syndication revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $9 million, or 16%, primarily reflecting a decrease in MSR asset decay and an increase in MSR net valuation adjustments, which had a $2 million gain in the fourth quarter compared to a $2 million loss in the prior quarter. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $2 million, or 1%, primarily driven by higher brokerage fees, partially offset by lower personal asset management revenue. Card and processing revenue increased $2 million, or 2%, primarily driven by higher interchange revenue.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items decreased $7 million, or 1%, primarily driven by lower leasing business expense and other noninterest expense, partially offset by higher technology and communications expense primarily related to continued modernization investments. The year-ago quarter included $6 million of noninterest expense related to the impact of non-qualified deferred compensation mark-to-market, which was largely offset in net securities gains/losses through noninterest income.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, capital actions or business. They usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as “will likely result,” “may,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “potential,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “projected,” “intends to,” or may include other similar words or phrases such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continue,” “remain,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated by our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements.

You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” for further information on other factors, which could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to us. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as may be required by law, and we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The information contained herein is intended to be reviewed in its totality, and any stipulations, conditions or provisos that apply to a given piece of information in one part of this press release should be read as applying mutatis mutandis to every other instance of such information appearing herein.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP measures, management considers various non-GAAP measures when evaluating the performance of the business, including: “net interest income (FTE),” “interest income (FTE),” “net interest margin (FTE),” “net interest rate spread (FTE),” “income before income taxes (FTE),” “tangible net income available to common shareholders,” “average tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity (excluding AOCI),” “tangible common equity (including AOCI),” “tangible equity,” “tangible book value per share,” “tangible book value per share (excluding AOCI),” “adjusted noninterest income,” “noninterest income excluding certain items,” “adjusted noninterest expense,” “noninterest expense excluding certain items,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income", “adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “efficiency ratio (FTE),” “total revenue (FTE),” “noninterest income as a percent of total revenue”, and certain ratios derived from these measures. The Bancorp believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because these are among the measures used by the Fifth Third management team to evaluate operating performance and to make day-to-day operating decisions.

The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and securities held by the Bancorp that are not taxable for federal income tax purposes. The Bancorp believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and net interest margin as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

The Bancorp believes tangible net income available to common shareholders, average tangible common equity, tangible common equity (excluding AOCI), tangible common equity (including AOCI), tangible equity, tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity are important measures for evaluating the performance of the business without the impacts of intangible items, whether acquired or created internally, in a manner comparable to other companies in the industry who present similar measures.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income, noninterest expense, net interest income, net interest margin, pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, noninterest income as a percent of total revenue, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and return on average assets are important measures that adjust for significant, unusual, or large transactions that may occur in a reporting period which management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income excluding certain items and noninterest expense excluding certain items are important measures that adjust for certain components that are prone to significant period-to-period changes in order to facilitate the explanation of variances in the noninterest income and noninterest expense line items.

Management considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity and tangible common equity (including and excluding AOCI), in addition to capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies for both absolute and comparative purposes. These ratios are not formally defined by U.S. GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations and, therefore, are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that providing the tangible common equity ratio excluding AOCI on certain assets and liabilities enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity without the effects of changes in AOCI, some of which are uncertain; providing the tangible common equity ratio including AOCI enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity if components of AOCI, such as unrealized gains or losses, were to be monetized.

Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures.

Please see reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
