Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the 2025 third quarter increased $159 million, or 12%, from the 2024 third quarter. The results primarily reflect a 15 basis point increase in the net interest margin (NIM) to 3.13% and a $10.8 billion, or 6%, increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $10.1 billion, or 7%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The 15 basis point increase in NIM reflected a decrease in cost of funding, partially offset by a decrease in yields on interest earning assets and net hedging activity.
Compared to the 2025 second quarter, FTE net interest income increased $40 million, or 3%, driven by an increase in average earning assets of $1.6 billion, or 1%, and an increase in NIM of 2 basis points to 3.13%, partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $1.3 billion, or 1%. The 2 basis point increase to NIM reflected an increase in interest earning assets and lower funding costs, partially offset by net hedging activity.

NM - Not Meaningful
Total noninterest income for the 2025 third quarter increased $105 million, or 20%, from the year-ago quarter. The 2025 third quarter included a $24 million gain on the sale of a portion of our corporate trust and custody business, and $2 million of contra revenue related to premium costs and mark-to-market associated with credit risk transfer transactions, while the 2024 third quarter included $8 million of contra revenue related to the credit risk transfer transactions. Excluding the impact from these items, noninterest income increased $75 million, or 14%. Payments and cash management revenue increased $16 million, or 10%, driven by higher merchant acquiring and cash management revenues. Capital markets and advisory fees increased $16 million, or 21%, primarily due to higher syndication and advisory fees. Customer deposit and loan fees increased $16 million, or 19%, primarily due to higher loan commitment fees. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $11 million, or 12%, largely due to higher trust and investment management income.
Total noninterest income increased $157 million, or 33%, compared to the 2025 second quarter. The 2025 third quarter included a $24 million gain on sale discussed previously and $2 million of contra revenue related to the credit risk transfer transactions, while the 2025 second quarter included a $58 million loss on the sale of investment securities and $5 million of contra revenue related to the credit risk transfer transactions. Excluding the impact from these items, noninterest income increased $72 million, or 13%. Other noninterest income increased $18 million, or 69%, largely due to revenue from tax credit syndications. Mortgage banking income increased $15 million, or 54%, attributable to mark-to-market gain in servicing hedges. Leasing revenue increased $13 million, or 130%, primarily due to an increase in income on terminated leases. Capital markets and advisory fees increased $10 million, or 12%, primarily due to higher underwriting income and syndication fees.

Reported total noninterest expense for the 2025 third quarter increased $116 million, or 10%, from the year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact from Notable Items, noninterest expense increased $114 million, or 10%, primarily driven by higher personnel costs of $85 million, or 13%, due to higher incentive compensation and salary expense, and an increase in outside data processing and other services of $28 million, or 17%, primarily reflecting higher technology and data expense.
Reported total noninterest expense increased $49 million, or 4%, from the 2025 second quarter. Excluding the impact from Notable Items, noninterest expense increased $44 million, or 4%, primarily driven by higher personnel costs of $41 million, or 6%, due primarily to higher incentive compensation and medical expense, and an increase in outside data processing and other services of $13 million, or 7%, driven by higher technology and data expense.
During the 2025 third quarter, noninterest expense included a $10 million foundation donation, in concurrence with the recognition of the gain on sale of a portion of our corporate trust and custody business, as well as a $11 million gain recognized from the extinguishment of debt.

See Pages 12-15 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.
Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $821 million, or 0.60%, of total loans and leases, OREO and other NPAs, compared to $784 million, or 0.62%, a year-ago. Nonaccrual loans and leases (NALs) were $808 million, or 0.59% of total loans and leases, compared to $738 million, or 0.58% of total loans and leases, a year-ago. The increase in NPAs was driven by an increase in commercial and industrial NALs, partially offset by a decrease in other NPAs. On a linked quarter basis, NPAs decreased $31 million, and NALs decreased $34 million, or 4%. The decrease in NPAs was primarily driven by a decrease in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate NALs.
The provision for credit losses increased $16 million year-over-year and $19 million quarter-over-quarter to $122 million in the 2025 third quarter. Net charge-offs (NCOs) decreased $18 million year-over-year and increased $9 million quarter-over-quarter to $75 million. NCOs represented an annualized 0.22% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, down from 0.30% and up from 0.20% in the year-ago quarter and prior quarter, respectively. Commercial and consumer net charge-offs were 0.18% and 0.27%, respectively, for the 2025 third quarter.
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) increased $139 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.4 billion, or 1.72% of total loans and leases. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) increased by $126 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.6 billion, or 1.86% of total loans and leases, unchanged compared to the prior quarter and 7 basis points lower than the year-ago quarter.

(1)September 30, 2025 figures are estimated. The risk-based capital ratios reflect Huntington’s election to delay the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. As of September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, the impact of the CECL deferral was fully phased in, while 75% of the impact of the CECL deferral was phased in at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.
See Pages 16-17 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.
The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.8% at September 30, 2025, an increase from 6.6% at June 30, 2025, driven by an increase in tangible common equity from current period earnings, net of dividends, and an improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by an increase in tangible assets. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio was 10.6% at September 30, 2025, compared to 10.5% at June 30, 2025, with the increase driven by current period earnings, net of dividends, partially offset by higher risk-weighted assets during the quarter.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $133 million in the 2025 third quarter compared to $96 million in the 2025 second quarter. The effective tax rate for the 2025 third quarter was 17.4%, compared to 15.0% for the 2025 second quarter, with the increase primarily driven by the remeasurement of deferred tax assets for changes in certain state tax laws which were enacted during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, we had a net federal deferred tax asset of $712 million and a net state deferred tax asset of $107 million.

Basis of Presentation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Huntington’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this document, the financial supplement, conference call slides, or the Form 8-K related to this document, all of which can be found in the Investor Relations section of Huntington’s website, http://www.huntington.com.
Annualized Data
Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. For example, loan and deposit growth rates, as well as net charge-off percentages, are most often expressed in terms of an annual rate like 8%. As such, a 2% growth rate for a quarter would represent an annualized 8% growth rate.
Fully-Taxable Equivalent Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt municipal securities, and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to results of competitors.
Rounding
Please note that items in this document may not add due to rounding.
Notable Items
From time to time, revenue, expenses, or taxes are impacted by items judged by management to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management at that time to be infrequent or short term in nature. We refer to such items as “Notable Items.” 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.
