CEO Commentary

“Our strong third quarter results reflect the ongoing discipline throughout the bank and the strength of our diversified revenue streams. We generated very strong fee revenue, including a record in capital markets, while tightly managing our expenses. In addition, we generated strong core deposit growth while lowering deposit costs. As a result, our key financial metrics met or exceeded our year-end targets.

During the quarter, we were again able to deliver the financial outcomes as we had expected associated with the MB Financial acquisition, and remain on-track to achieve the previously-stated expense and revenue synergy targets. We remain pleased with the low client attrition rates, and employee attrition continues to track our original deal expectations.

Our clearly defined strategic growth priorities, proactive balance sheet management, and continued discipline throughout the bank position us well into next year and beyond. We remain cognizant of the dynamic macroeconomic and interest rate environment, and continue to focus on through-the-cycle outperformance to create long-term shareholder value.”

-Greg D. Carmichael, Chairman, President and CEO

Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported NII increased $199 million, or 19%. Excluding purchase accounting accretion of $28 million in the third quarter of 2019, adjusted NII increased $171 million, or 16%, reflecting an increase in interest earning assets, including the impact from the MB Financial acquisition. Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported NIM increased 9 bps, or 2 bps excluding purchase accounting accretion.

Compared to the prior quarter, reported NII decreased $4 million. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, adjusted NII decreased $14 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting lower short-term market rates and a decline in commercial & industrial (C&I) loans, partially offset by growth in the indirect secured consumer portfolio (predominantly indirect automobile) and lower deposit costs. Compared to the prior quarter, reported NIM decreased 5 bps. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, adjusted NIM decreased 7 bps, primarily reflecting lower short-term market rates, increased deposit balances resulting in elevated cash levels and higher day count, partially offset by continued improvement in indirect secured consumer yields (predominantly indirect automobile).

Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest income excluding the items in the preceding table increased $160 million, or 27%. Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest income excluding the items in the preceding table increased $72 million, or 11%.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits increased $4 million, or 3%, primarily driven by higher commercial deposit fees, partially offset by lower consumer deposit fees. Corporate banking revenue increased $68 million, or 68%, primarily driven by lease-related services revenue resulting from the MB Financial acquisition, as well as increases in lease remarketing revenue, corporate bond fees, and M&A advisory revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $46 million, or 94%, primarily driven by higher mortgage originations of $3.4 billion, an increase of 81%. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $10 million, or 9%, primarily driven by higher personal asset management revenue.

Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits were flat, as higher consumer deposit fees were offset by lower commercial deposit fees. Corporate banking revenue increased $31 million, or 23%, primarily driven by an increase in lease remarketing revenue, M&A advisory revenue, and corporate bond fees. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $32 million, or 51%, primarily driven by an improved gain on sale margin and a 17% increase in origination volumes. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $2 million, or 2%, primarily driven by higher personal asset management revenue and brokerage fees.

Other noninterest income results on a reported basis in the current and previous quarters were impacted by the Visa total return swap valuation adjustments. Excluding this item, other noninterest income of $122 million increased $19 million, or 18%, compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by other noninterest income from MB Financial. Compared to the prior quarter, other noninterest income excluding this item increased $7 million, or 6%, reflecting higher private equity investment income.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported noninterest expense increased $187 million, or 19%, impacted by the expenses associated with the MB Financial acquisition. Excluding the merger-related expenses and the intangible amortization expense noted in the table above, noninterest expense increased $148 million, or 15%, reflecting the ongoing expenses from the MB Financial acquisition, including elevated other noninterest expense associated with operating lease expense, as well as continued technology investments. The growth was partially offset by the elimination of the FDIC surcharge.

Compared to the prior quarter, reported noninterest expense decreased $84 million, or 7%, and was impacted by lower merger-related expenses, partially offset by elevated other noninterest expense. Excluding the merger-related expenses and the aforementioned intangible amortization expense, noninterest expense decreased $3 million, driven by lower compensation and benefits partially offset by higher other noninterest expense.

Below is a summary of the remaining share repurchases.

●

●

On August 9, 2019, Fifth Third initially settled a share repurchase agreement whereby Fifth Third would purchase $200 million of its outstanding stock in two $100 million tranches. The initial settlement reduced third quarter common shares outstanding by 6.4 million shares. On August 28, 2019, Fifth Third settled both tranches from the forward contract. An additional 1.5 million shares were repurchased in connection with the completion of this agreement.

Based on the transactions noted above, common shares outstanding decreased by approximately 13.4 million shares, or 1.8%, in the third quarter of 2019 from the second quarter of 2019.

Fifth Third issued $250 million of 4.95% fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock (Series K preferred stock) for net proceeds of $242 million on September 17, 2019.

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,” “adjusted noninterest income,” “adjusted noninterest expense,” “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 net interest margin,” “adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “efficiency ratio (FTE),” “total revenue (FTE),” 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 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 they provide 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, compared 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, 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 on-going financial performance and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

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 the U.S. banking agencies. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by the 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 and 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 Reg. G reconciliations of all historical Non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
