TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.0 billion for the third quarter of 2020, compared to taxable-equivalent net interest income of $980 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase in net interest income reflects higher earning asset balances partially offset by a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin was impacted by lower interest rates and a change in balance sheet mix, including elevated levels of liquidity and Key's participation in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP").

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $19 million, primarily reflecting lower loan balances. The lower net interest margin was driven by a shift in balance sheet mix, reflecting continued elevated levels of liquidity.

    Compared to the third quarter of 2019, noninterest income increased by $31 million, primarily driven by a $45 million increase in cards and payments income related to higher prepaid card activity. Additionally,

consumer mortgage income increased $35 million from the year-ago period, driven by strong loan originations and related fees. These increases were partially offset by a $30 million decline in investment banking and debt placement fees, primarily driven by lower loan syndication and M&A fees.

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, noninterest income decreased by $11 million. The largest driver of the quarterly decrease was a $22 million decline in operating lease income, related to gains on the sale of leveraged leases in the prior quarter. Investment banking and debt placement fees and consumer mortgage income delivered solid results, but both declined versus the prior quarter. Partially offsetting these declines was a $23 million increase in cards and payments income related to higher prepaid card activity and a $9 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense	$	1,037	$	1,013	$	939	2.4	%	10.4	%

    Key’s noninterest expense was $1.0 billion for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $98 million from the year-ago period. The increase is primarily related to higher payments-related expenses from prepaid card activity incurred in the current period, as well as COVID-19-related costs related to steps that the company has taken to ensure the health and safety of teammates. Personnel costs increased by $41 million, reflecting higher production-related incentives, merit increases and employee benefits costs.

    Compared to the second quarter of 2020, noninterest expense increased $24 million. The increase was largely due to payments-related costs (in other expense), as well as higher employee benefits costs, which drove an increase in personnel costs quarter over quarter.

Average loans were $104.9 billion for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $13.0 billion compared to the third quarter of 2019. Commercial loans increased $9.4 billion, reflecting growth from PPP, as well as core broad-based growth in commercial and industrial loans and increased utilization versus the year-ago period. Consumer loans increased $3.6 billion, driven by strength from Laurel Road and Key's consumer mortgage business.

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, average loans decreased by $3.0 billion. Commercial loans declined as clients paid down elevated line draws from earlier in the year, partly offset by growth in PPP average balances. Consumer loans continue to reflect strength from Laurel Road, as well as Key's consumer mortgage business.

Average deposits totaled $134.9 billion for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $24.7 billion compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting growth from consumer and commercial relationships, partially offset by a decline in time deposits as a result of lower interest rates.

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, average deposits increased by $7.0 billion, primarily driven by broad-based commercial growth as well as growth from consumer stimulus payments and lower consumer spending. This growth was offset by a continued decline in time deposits.

N/A = Not Applicable

    Key’s provision for credit losses was $160 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $200 million for the third quarter of 2019 (which included $123 million related to a previously-disclosed fraud loss), and $482 million for the second quarter of 2020. The provision for credit losses reflects the adoption of a new accounting standard, often referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL"), beginning in the first quarter of 2020. This framework requires that management estimate credit losses over the full remaining expected life and consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions.

    The provision for credit losses exceeded net charge-offs by $32 million. Net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $128 million, or .49% of average total loans. These results compare to $196 million, or .85%, for the third quarter of 2019 (which included $123 million related to a previously-disclosed fraud loss) and $96 million, or .36%, for the second quarter of 2020. Key’s allowance for credit losses was $1.9 billion, or 1.88% of total period-end loans at September 30, 2020, compared to 1.03% at September 30, 2019, and 1.80% at June 30, 2020.

At September 30, 2020, Key’s nonperforming loans totaled $834 million, which represented .81% of period-end portfolio loans. These results compare to .63% at September 30, 2019, and .72% at June 30, 2020. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2020, totaled $1.0 billion, and represented .97% of period-end portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets. These results compare to .77% at September 30, 2019, and .89% at June 30, 2020.

CAPITAL

Key’s estimated risk-based capital ratios included in the following table continued to exceed all “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks at September 30, 2020.

Capital Ratios
	9/30/2020		6/30/2020		9/30/2019
Common Equity Tier 1 (a)	9.5	%	9.1	%	9.5	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital (a)	10.9		10.5		10.9
Total risk based capital (a)	13.3		12.8		12.9
Tangible common equity to tangible assets (b)	7.8		7.6		8.6
Leverage (a)	8.7		8.8		9.9

(a)9/30/2020 ratio is estimated and reflects Key's election to adopt the CECL optional transition provision.

(b)The table entitled “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” in the attached financial supplement presents the computations of certain financial measures related to “tangible common equity.” The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons.

Key's capital position remained strong in the third quarter of 2020. As shown in the preceding table, at September 30, 2020, Key’s estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios stood at 9.5% and 10.9%, respectively. Key's tangible common equity ratio was 7.8% at September 30, 2020.

    Key has elected the CECL phase-in option provided by regulatory guidance which delays for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital and phases it in over three years beginning in 2022. On a fully phased-in basis, Key's Common Equity Tier 1 ratio would be reduced by 31 basis points.

Reconciling items also includes intercompany eliminations and certain items that are not allocated to the business segments because they do not reflect their normal operations.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(dollars in millions)

The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to “tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “pre-provision net revenue," and “cash efficiency ratio" and certain ratios excluding notable items.

Notable items include certain revenue or expense items that may occur in a reporting period which management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance. 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.

The tangible common equity ratio and the return on average tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock.

The table also shows the computation for pre-provision net revenue, which is not formally defined by GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects of the provision for credit losses makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.

The cash efficiency ratio is a ratio of two non-GAAP performance measures. As such, there is no directly comparable GAAP performance measure. The cash efficiency ratio performance measure removes the impact of Key’s intangible asset amortization from the calculation. Management believes this ratio provide greater consistency and comparability between Key’s results and those of its peer banks. Additionally, this ratio is used by analysts and investors as they develop earnings forecasts and peer bank analysis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

These concessions are made to improve the collectability of the loan and generally take the form of a reduction of the interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance.

(a)Purchase credit impaired (PCI) loans meeting nonperforming criteria were historically excluded from Key's nonperforming disclosures. As a result of CECL implementation on January 1, 2020, PCI loans became purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loans. PCD loans that met the definition of nonperforming are now included in nonperforming disclosures, resulting in a $45 million increase in nonperforming loans in the first quarter of 2020.
