Q1 2023 presentation

U.S. Regulated Equity Markets (Alternative Disclosure) via PUBT

1Q23 Financial Results

April 14, 2023

In first quarter 2023, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-12 - Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. We adopted ASU 2018-12 with retrospective application, which required revision of prior period financial statements. Prior period risk-based capital and certain other regulatory related metrics were not revised. For additional information, including the financial statement line items impacted by the adoption of ASU 2018-12, see page 17.

Comparisons in the bullet points are for 1Q23 versus 1Q22, unless otherwise noted.

  1. Tangible common equity and retuon average tangible common equity (ROTCE) are non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the "Tangible Common Equity" table on page 18.
  2. The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue.
  3. Pre-taxpre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company's ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
  4. Includes provision for credit losses for loans, debt securities, and interest-earning deposits with banks.
  5. The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach is our binding CET1 ratio. See page 19 for additional information regarding CET1 capital and ratios. CET1 is a preliminary estimate.
  6. Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) represents average high-quality liquid assets divided by average projected net cash outflows, as each is defined under the LCR rule. LCR is a preliminary estimate.
  7. Represents total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) divided by risk-weighted assets (RWAs), which is our binding TLAC ratio, determined by using the greater of RWAs under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches. TLAC is a preliminary estimate.

Net Loan Charge-off Ratio

  • Commercial net loan charge-offs down $16 million to 5 bps of average loans (annualized) on higher recoveries
  • Consumer net loan charge-offs up $60 million to 56 bps of average loans (annualized) driven by a $70 million increase in net loan charge-offs in credit card
  • Nonperforming assets increased $379 million, or 7%, as higher commercial real estate nonaccrual loans were partially offset by lower residential mortgage nonaccrual loans
