NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER
NET INCOME OF $113.1 MILLION, EARNINGS PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE OF $0.52
CHICAGO, JANUARY 18, 2024 — Northern Trust Corporation today reported fourth quarter net income per diluted common share of $0.52, compared to $1.49 in the third quarter of 2023 and $0.71 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income was $113.1 million, compared to $327.8 million in the prior quarter and $155.7 million in the prior-year quarter.
Fourth quarter 2023 results included the following:
•$176.4 million pre-tax loss on available for sale debt securities sold in conjunction with a repositioning of the portfolio, recognized in Investment Security Gains (Losses), net (after-tax $131.7 million).
•$84.6 million pre-tax Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment, recognized in Other Operating Expense (after-tax $63.1 million).
MICHAEL O’GRADY, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER:
“Northern Trust’s fourth quarter results capped off a solid year of progress made towards driving improved financial performance. In the fourth quarter, trust fee growth accelerated compared to the prior year, average deposit levels proved resilient, and credit quality remained strong. Importantly, we brought year-over-year expense growth, excluding notables, down in each quarter this year. We also improved our capital and liquidity levels while returning over $300 million in capital to shareholders.

As we begin 2024, we are squarely focused on accelerating profitable organic growth, maintaining our expense discipline and driving greater resiliency and efficiency in our operating model to create sustained long-term shareholder value over time.”

The provision in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis and an increase in the reserve evaluated on an individual basis driven by a very small number of borrowers. The reserve evaluated on a collective basis relates to pooled financial assets sharing similar risk characteristics. The increase in the collective basis reserve was driven by methodology updates.
Q3 2023
The provision in the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis, driven by a small number of large new loans and renewals and credit quality deterioration of certain commercial loans, partially offset by a net improvement in the overall macroeconomic outlook at the time.
Q4 2022
The provision in the prior-year quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis, driven by growth in certain commercial portfolios and further deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook at the time, partially offset by improvement in portfolio quality for a commercial segment.

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION FOURTH QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
The following table presents a reconciliation of interest income, net interest income, net interest margin, and total revenue prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to such measures on an FTE basis, which are non-generally accepted accounting financial measures. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Management believes this presentation provides a clearer indication of these financial measures for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.

INTEREST RATE TRENDS (FTE(1) Basis)
PERIOD AVERAGES
Net Interest Income (FTE Adjusted), a non-GAAP financial measure, includes adjustments to a fully taxable equivalent basis for loans and securities. A reconciliation of net interest income, net interest margin, and net interest spread on a GAAP basis to net interest income, net interest margin, and net interest spread on an FTE basis, respectively, (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) is provided on pages 11 and 12. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Net interest spread is calculated as the difference between the interest rate earned (annualized interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) and the interest rate incurred (annualized interest expense divided by average interest-related funds).

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
($ in Millions)
Northern Trust presents certain financial measures on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP). Management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of these financial measures for comparative purposes.

Net interest income (FTE) – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income, consistent with industry practice. The adjustments are based on the federal income tax rate, where the rate is adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of related federal tax benefit. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. Below is a reconciliation of the financial measures presented on an FTE basis.
