CEO Commentary
“Our second quarter performance once again highlighted the
strength of our franchise and our ability to navigate the dynamic
environment and mitigate the impact of lower rates through
well-diversified fee revenues and continued expense discipline. Our
CET1 capital ratio of 9.7% and loan-to-core deposit ratio of 75%
are both indicative of our balance sheet strength which will serve
us well during this challenging environment.
We have now generated year-over-year adjusted positive operating
leverage in seven out of the past eight quarters, and also grew
tangible book value per share for five consecutive quarters.
We expect credit quality to remain relatively stable in the
near-term, reflecting our disciplined client selection, decade-long
focus on improving our credit performance in the event of a
downturn, and proactive risk management actions. Additionally, our
allowance for credit losses continues to incorporate our
expectation of a protracted downturn followed by a prolonged
recovery period due to the economic fallout from the pandemic.
We remain intently focused on taking appropriate action for our
customers, our employees, and our communities during these
uncertain times. I am very proud of the way our employees have
responded to support our customers and each other.”
-Greg D. Carmichael, Chairman, President and CEO

Compared to the prior quarter, reported NII decreased $30
million, or 2%. Excluding purchase accounting accretion of $15
million in the current quarter and $16 million in the prior
quarter, adjusted NII decreased $29 million, or 2%. The decrease
was driven by the impact of lower market rates on commercial loans,
decreased mortgage loan balances due to an increase in prepayment
activity, as well as a decline in home equity and credit card
balances reflecting generally subdued demand. These impacts were
partially offset by elevated average commercial revolving line of
credit balances and growth from lower yielding PPP loans, as well
as continued focus on reducing deposit costs and the favorable
impact of previously executed hedges. Compared to the prior
quarter, reported and adjusted NIM decreased 53 bps, also driven by
lower market rates and the unfavorable impact from elevated cash
balances (29 bps), and lower yielding PPP loans (1 bp), partially
offset by benefits from lower deposit costs and previously executed
hedges.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported NII decreased $47
million, or 4%. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, adjusted
NII decreased $44 million, or 4%, primarily reflecting lower market
rates, partially offset by the impact of elevated average
commercial line draws and lower yielding PPP loans, as well as a
continued focus on reducing deposit costs and the favorable impact
of previously executed hedges. Compared to the year-ago quarter,
reported NIM decreased 62 bps. Excluding purchase accounting
accretion, adjusted NIM decreased 61 bps, primarily reflecting the
impact of lower market rates on commercial loans and significantly
elevated cash balances, partially offset by benefits from lower
deposit costs and previously executed hedges.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest income excluding
certain items decreased $62 million, or 8%. Compared to the
year-ago quarter, noninterest income excluding certain items
decreased $4 million, or 1%.
Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits
decreased $26 million, or 18%, reflecting lower consumer and
commercial deposit fees which were impacted by the record growth in
deposit balances as well as hardship-related fee waivers granted
throughout the quarter. Commercial banking revenue increased $13
million, or 10%, reflecting increases in both debt and equity
capital markets revenue, as well as increased institutional
brokerage revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $21
million, or 18%, as strong origination fees and gains on loan sales
(reflecting improved margins) in the current quarter were more than
offset by the MSR net valuation adjustment that returned to
normalized levels compared to the prior quarter favorability, as
well as lower origination volume and a decrease in gross servicing
fee revenue in the current quarter. Current quarter mortgage
originations of $3.4 billion decreased 15% compared to the prior
quarter and were impacted by the decision to temporarily pause
correspondent channel production. Mortgage originations excluding
correspondent channel production increased 22% compared to the
prior quarter. Wealth and asset management revenue decreased $14
million, or 10%, primarily driven by lower revenue given the equity
market performance and seasonally strong tax preparation fees from
the prior quarter. Card and processing revenue decreased $4
million, or 5%, resulting from lower credit and debit volumes
throughout the quarter reflecting customer behavioral changes in
response to the pandemic, partially offset by lower rewards.
Leasing business revenue decreased $16 million, or 22%, primarily
driven by a decrease in lease syndication revenue.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits
decreased $21 million, or 15%, driven by lower consumer and
commercial deposit fees, which were impacted by the record growth
in deposit balances as well as hardship-related fee waivers granted
throughout the quarter. Commercial banking revenue increased $30
million, or 28%, reflecting increases in both debt and equity
capital markets revenue, as well as increased institutional
brokerage and financial risk management revenue. Mortgage banking
net revenue increased $36 million, or 57% primarily driven by
strong origination fees and gains on loan sales reflecting improved
margins. Originations excluding the correspondent channel increased
41% compared to the year-ago quarter. Wealth and asset management
revenue decreased $2 million, or 2%. Card and processing revenue
decreased by $10 million, or 11%, reflecting decreases in debit and
credit volumes, partially offset by lower rewards. Leasing business
revenue decreased $19 million, or 25% primarily reflecting lower
business solutions revenue.

items shown on page 2 and in the reconciliation tables of the
earnings release (including COVID-19-related expenses), as well as
intangible amortization expense, noninterest expense decreased $62
million, or 5%, primarily reflecting lower compensation and
benefits (which included $22 million from non-qualified deferred
compensation expense in the current quarter compared to an expense
benefit of $26 million in the prior quarter), lower other
noninterest expense, declines in expenses directly associated with
revenue-generating activities, and continued discipline managing
expenses throughout the Company. Excluding the impacts of
non-qualified deferred compensation expense (offset in noninterest
income), expenses decreased $110 million, or 9%, compared to the
prior quarter.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported noninterest expense

associated with business activities, partially offset by elevated
compensation and benefits expenses (which included $22 million from
non-qualified deferred compensation expense in the current quarter
compared to $7 million in the year-ago quarter). Excluding the
impacts of non-qualified deferred compensation expense (offset in

Compared to the prior quarter, total average portfolio loans and
leases increased 7%, reflecting growth in commercial and industrial
(C&I) loans, commercial construction and indirect secured
consumer loans (predominantly indirect automobile). Average
commercial portfolio loans and leases increased 11%, reflecting
elevated C&I revolving line of credit utilization and the
impact of PPP loans in the current quarter, as well as growth in
commercial construction and commercial mortgage loans, partially
offset by lower commercial leases. Average consumer portfolio loans
decreased 1%, reflecting declines in credit card and home equity
loans, partially offset by growth in indirect secured consumer
loans.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, total average portfolio loans
and leases increased 8%, reflecting growth in C&I loans as well
as continued growth in indirect secured consumer loans
(predominantly indirect automobile). Average commercial portfolio
loans and leases increased 10%, reflecting elevated C&I
balances predominantly from elevated corporate banking client line
of credit utilization for part of the quarter, PPP loans, and
growth in commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by a decline
in commercial leases. Average consumer portfolio loans increased
3%, as higher indirect secured consumer loans were partially offset
by lower credit card and home equity loans.
Total period-end commercial portfolio loans and leases of $75
billion included $5.2 billion in PPP loan balances and decreased $3
billion, or 3%, from the prior quarter, and increased $5 billion,
or 7%, from the year-ago quarter, reflecting a normalization of
commercial revolving line utilization throughout the current
quarter. Period-end commercial revolving line utilization was 38%,
compared to 47% in the prior quarter and 37% in the year-ago
quarter.
Average available-for-sale debt and other securities of $36.1
billion increased 3% compared to the prior quarter and increased 4%

Compared to the prior quarter, average wholesale funding
increased 9%, driven primarily by debt issuances of $1.25 billion
during the quarter, as well as increases in jumbo CD balances and
other short-term borrowings reflecting $3 billion in FHLB advances
which were initiated in the first month of the quarter and
subsequently extinguished, partially offset by decreased federal
funds borrowings and other deposits. Compared to the year-ago
quarter, average wholesale funding remained flat as decreases in
jumbo CD balances, federal funds borrowings and other deposits were
offset by increases in long-term debt and other short-term
borrowings.

Capital ratios remained strong during the quarter. The CET1
capital ratio was 9.72%, the tangible common equity to tangible
assets ratio was 6.77% excluding AOCI, and 8.13% including AOCI.
The Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 10.95%, the Total
risk-based capital ratio was 14.23%, and the Tier I leverage ratio
was 8.16%. Certain capital ratios, including the Tier I leverage
ratio, were impacted by the significant increase in assets
throughout the quarter, predominantly from growth in 0%
risk-weighted assets resulting from an increase in interest-bearing
cash as well as PPP loans.
On June 30, 2020, Fifth Third released its indicative stress
capital buffer requirement resulting from the Federal Reserve
Board’s 2020 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review results
incorporating the supervisory severely adverse scenario published
in February 2020. Fifth Third’s indicative stress capital buffer
under this scenario is 2.5%, effective October 1, 2020. The stress
capital buffer of 2.5% is the floor under the regulatory capital
rules. Without the floor, Fifth Third estimates its buffer would
have been approximately 2.1%.
Tax Rate
The effective tax rate was 19.9% compared with 22.6% in the
prior quarter and 21.5% in the year-ago quarter. The tax rate in
the current quarter reflected a one-time $2 million tax benefit
primarily due to various state items.

financial results at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) today. This
conference call will be webcast live and may be accessed through
the Fifth Third Investor Relations website at www.53.com (click on “About Us” then “Investor
