    Other than the Quarterly Financial Review tables beginning on page 14 of the earnings release, commentary is on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis unless otherwise noted. Consistent with SEC guidance in Regulation S-K that contemplates the calculation of tax-exempt income on a taxable-equivalent basis, net interest income, net interest margin, net interest rate spread, total revenue and the efficiency ratio are provided on an FTE basis.

    From Tim Spence, Fifth Third Chairman, CEO and President:

    Fifth Third delivered another year of strong and consistent performance in 2024. In the fourth quarter, we achieved growth in loans, deposits, and fees, while also expanding our net interest margin and maintaining expense discipline.

    The consistent investment and execution of our strategic growth priorities continues to yield strong results. In the fourth quarter, our total consumer households surpassed 2.5 million, and we opened 21 new branches in high-growth markets. Both wealth and asset management and capital markets experienced double digit revenue growth compared to the year-ago quarter. Additionally, commercial payments revenue grew 7% and continues to add new payments-led relationships.

    During 2024, our strong profitability allowed us to return $1.6 billion of capital to our shareholders while increasing our capital ratios.

    The risks we face are well-understood and well-contained. Our balance sheet was resilient in 2024 and is positioned to continue this strong performance in 2025 through a range of interest rate outcomes. We remain proactive in managing our credit risk. As we navigate these risks, we are committed to generating long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders as we adhere to our guiding principles of stability, profitability, and growth - in that order.

    Compared to the prior quarter, NII increased $16 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting higher loan balances and decreased cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower loan yields due to the impact of market rates on floating rate loans. These same factors drove the 7 bps increase in NIM. NIM continues to be impacted by the decision to carry elevated liquidity given the environment, with average other short-term investments (including interest-bearing cash) of $18 billion in the current quarter.

    Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII increased $20 million, or 1%, and NIM increased 12 bps. This year-over-year improvement was due to the benefits from proactive deposit and wholesale funding management decreasing interest-bearing liabilities costs by 34 bps, which more than offset the combined impact of the 10 bps decrease in interest-earning assets yield and the $4.7 billion reduction in interest-earning assets.

    During the fourth quarter of 2024, certain noninterest income line items were reclassified to better align disclosures to business activities. These reclassifications resulted in three new line items to describe noninterest income, including commercial payments revenue, consumer banking revenue and capital markets fees. Commercial banking revenue and other noninterest income were also affected by the reclassifications. These reclassifications did not affect total noninterest income and were retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Reported noninterest income increased $21 million, or 3%, from the prior quarter, and decreased $12 million, or 2%, from the year-ago quarter. The reported results reflect the impact of certain items in the table below, including the mark-to-market on the valuation of Visa total return swap and securities gains/losses which incorporate mark-to-market impacts from securities associated with non-qualified deferred compensation plans that are more than offset in noninterest expense.

    Noninterest income excluding certain items increased $43 million, or 6%, compared to the prior quarter, and increased $41 million, or 5%, from the year-ago quarter.

    Compared to the prior quarter, wealth and asset management revenue was flat, due to a decrease in brokerage fee revenue, offset by an increase in personal asset management revenue. Commercial payments revenue increased $1 million, or 1%, primarily driven by an increase in commercial deposit fees. Capital markets fees increased $12 million, or 11%, reflecting increases in syndication fees and M&A advisory fees. Commercial banking revenue increased $16 million, or 17%, primarily reflecting increases in lease syndication and remarketing. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $7 million, or 14%, primarily due to the negative MSR net valuation adjustments in the prior quarter not repeating in the fourth quarter. Other noninterest income results were driven by the recognition of tax receivable agreement revenue of $11 million in the current quarter.

    Compared to the year-ago quarter, wealth and asset management revenue increased $16 million, or 11%, primarily reflecting an increase in personal asset management revenue. Commercial payments revenue increased $10 million, or 7%, primarily driven by new customer acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in commercial card revenue. Consumer banking revenue increased $2 million, or 1%, primarily driven by an increase in card and processing revenue. Capital markets fees increased $17 million, or 16%, reflecting an increase in syndication fees, partially offset by a decrease in institutional brokerage revenue. Commercial banking revenue increased $8 million, or 8%, primarily reflecting an increase in lease syndication and remarketing, partially offset by the continued decrease in operating lease revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $9 million, or 14%, primarily reflecting decreases in servicing fees and origination fees and gains on loan sales. The decrease in other noninterest income was primarily attributable to lower tax receivable agreement revenue.

    During the fourth quarter of 2024, certain noninterest expense line items were reclassified to better align disclosures to business activities. These reclassifications resulted in the separate disclosure of loan and lease expense, which was previously a component of other noninterest expense. These reclassifications did not affect total noninterest expense and were retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Reported noninterest expense decreased $18 million, or 1%, from the prior quarter, and decreased $229 million, or 16%, from the year-ago quarter. The reported results reflect the impact of certain items in the table below.

    Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items decreased $7 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting a decrease in compensation and benefits expense, offset by an increase in net occupancy expense. Noninterest expense in the current quarter included a $7 million benefit related to the mark-to-market impact of non-qualified deferred compensation compared to a $10 million expense in the prior quarter, both of which were largely offset in net securities gains/losses through noninterest income.

    Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense excluding certain items increased $7 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting increases in compensation and benefits expense as well as technology and communications expense, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense. The year-ago quarter included a $13 million expense related to the mark-to-market impact of non-qualified deferred compensation, which was largely offset in net securities gains through noninterest income.

    CET1 capital ratio of 10.51% decreased 24 bps sequentially due to loan growth during the quarter driving an increase in risk-weighted assets. During the fourth quarter of 2024, Fifth Third repurchased $300 million of its common stock, which reduced shares outstanding by approximately 6.7 million at quarter end.

    Tax Rate

    The effective tax rate for the quarter was 18.8% compared with 21.3% in the prior quarter and 18.4% in the year-ago quarter. The tax rate in the fourth quarter reflects a favorable adjustment of $15 million associated with statutes of limitations expiration.

    Conference Call

    Fifth Third will host a conference call to discuss these 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 Relations"). Those unable to listen to the live webcast may access a webcast replay through the Fifth Third Investor Relations website at the same web address, which will be available for 30 days.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements.

They usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as "will likely result," "may," "are expected to," "is anticipated," "potential," "estimate," "forecast," "projected," "intends to," or may include other similar words or phrases such as "believes," "plans," "trend," "objective," "continue," "remain," or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "might," "can," or similar verbs. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated by our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

    There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements.

    You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," for further information on other factors, which could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to us. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as may be required by law, and we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
