Item 2. Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations

Introduction

This section reviews the financial condition and results of operations of KeyCorp and its subsidiaries for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025. Some tables may include additional periods to comply with disclosure requirements or to illustrate trends in greater depth. When you read this discussion, you should also refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes in this report. The page locations of specific sections and notes that we refer to are presented in the Table of Contents.

References to our “2025 Form 10-K” refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which has been filed with the SEC and is available on its website (www.sec.gov) and on our website (www.key.com/ir).

Terminology

Throughout this discussion, references to “Key,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to the consolidated entity consisting of KeyCorp and its subsidiaries. “KeyCorp” refers solely to the parent holding company, and “KeyBank” refers solely to KeyCorp’s subsidiary bank, KeyBank National Association. “KeyBank (consolidated)” refers to the consolidated entity consisting of KeyBank and its subsidiaries.

We want to explain some industry-specific terms at the outset so you can better understand the discussion that follows.

•We use the phrase continuing operations in this document to mean all of our businesses other than our government-guaranteed and private education lending business, which are accounted for as discontinued operations.

•We engage in capital markets activities primarily through business conducted by our Commercial Bank segment. These activities encompass a variety of products and services. Among other things, we trade securities as a dealer, enter into derivative contracts (both to accommodate clients’ financing needs and to mitigate certain risks), and conduct transactions in foreign currencies (to accommodate clients’ needs).

•For regulatory purposes, capital is divided into two classes. Federal regulations currently prescribe that at least one-half of a bank or BHC’s total risk-based capital must qualify as Tier 1 capital. Both total and Tier 1 capital serve as bases for several measures of capital adequacy, which is an important indicator of financial stability and condition. Banking regulators evaluate a component of Tier 1 capital, known as Common Equity Tier 1, under the Regulatory Capital Rules. The “Capital” section of this report under the heading “Capital adequacy” provides more information on total capital, Tier 1 capital, and the Regulatory Capital Rules, including Common Equity Tier 1, and describes how these measures are calculated.

Executive Overview

Key reported $486 million in net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders, or diluted earnings per share of $0.44, in the first quarter of 2026.

Our actions and results during the first quarter of 2026 support our corporate strategy described in the “Introduction” section under the “Corporate strategy” heading on page 51 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

•Commercial client growth and net new relationship households increased approximately 3% and 2%, respectively, year-over-year, reflecting strong client growth and relationship depth.

•Our noninterest income strength continues to be driven by differentiated fee businesses strategically focused on targeted scale. Our priority fee-based businesses — investment banking, commercial payments, and wealth management – collectively grew 12% year-over-year.

•Our Assets Under Management were $69.8 billion for the first quarter of 2026, up 14.3% year-over-year, driven by net positive cash inflows and market impacts on portfolios.

•Our continuous focus on maintaining our risk discipline has and should continue to position us to perform well through all business cycles. Net charge-offs are tracking in line with our current outlook for the year.

•We ended the quarter with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.4%(a), which positions us to continue to support existing and prospective clients.

Demographics

Our management structure and basis of presentation is divided into two business segments, Consumer Bank and Commercial Bank. Note 17 (“Business Segment Reporting”) describes the products and services offered by each of these business segments and provides more detailed financial information pertaining to the segments.

The Consumer Bank serves individuals and small businesses throughout our 15-state branch footprint and through our digital brand by offering a variety of deposit and investment products, personal finance and financial wellness services, lending, student loan refinancing, mortgage and home equity, credit card, treasury services, and business advisory services. In addition, wealth management and investment services are offered to assist non-profit and high-net-worth clients with their banking, trust, portfolio management, charitable giving, and related needs.

The Commercial Bank consists of the Commercial and Institutional operating segments. The Commercial operating segment is a full-service, commercial banking platform that focuses primarily on serving the borrowing, cash management, and capital markets needs of middle market clients within Key’s 15-state branch footprint. The Institutional operating segment operates nationally in providing lending, equipment financing, and banking products and services to large corporate and institutional clients. The industry coverage and product teams have established expertise in the following sectors: Consumer, Energy, Healthcare, Industrial, Public Sector, Real Estate, and Technology. It is also a significant, national, commercial real estate lender and third-party master and special servicer of commercial mortgage loans. The operating segment includes the KBCM platform which provides a broad suite of capital markets products and services including syndicated finance, debt and equity underwriting, fixed income and equity sales and trading, derivatives, foreign exchange, mergers & acquisition and other advisory, and public finance.

Supervision and regulation

The following discussion provides a summary of recent regulatory developments and should be read in conjunction with the disclosure included in our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1. Business and under the heading “V. Compliance Risk” in Item 1A. Risk Factors as well as the disclosure included in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this report.

Regulatory capital requirements

KeyCorp and KeyBank are subject to regulatory capital requirements that are based largely on the Basel III international capital framework (“Basel III”). The Basel III capital framework and the U.S. implementation of the Basel III capital framework (“Regulatory Capital Rules”) are discussed in more detail in Item 1. Business of our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Supervision and Regulation — Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements.”

Under the Regulatory Capital Rules, standardized approach banking organizations, such as KeyCorp and KeyBank, are required to meet the minimum capital and leverage ratios set forth in Figure 1 below. At March 31, 2026, KeyCorp’s ratios under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules were as set forth in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Minimum Capital Ratios and KeyCorp Ratios Under the Regulatory Capital Rules


Ratios (including stress capital buffer)	Regulatory Minimum Requirement		Stress Capital Buffer (b)		Regulatory Minimum Stress Capital Buffer		KeyCorp March 31, 2026 (c)
Common Equity Tier 1	4.50	%	3.20	%	7.70	%	11.40	%
Tier 1 Capital	6.00		3.20		9.20		13.03
Total Capital	8.00		3.20		11.20		15.18
Leverage (a)	4.00		N/A		4.00		10.47

(a)As a standardized approach banking organization, KeyCorp is not subject to the 3% supplementary leverage ratio requirement.

(b)Stress capital buffer must consist of Common Equity Tier 1 capital. As a standardized approach banking organization, KeyCorp is not subject to the countercyclical capital buffer of up to 2.5% imposed upon an advanced approaches banking organization under the Regulatory Capital Rules. KeyCorp’s stress capital buffer is 3.20% as of October 1, 2025.

(c)March 31, 2026 capital ratios are estimates.

Revised prompt corrective action framework

The federal Prompt Corrective Action (“PCA”) framework under the FDIA groups FDIC-insured depository institutions into one of five prompt corrective action capital categories: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” In addition to implementing the Basel III capital framework in the United States, the Regulatory Capital Rules also revised the PCA capital category threshold ratios applicable to FDIC-insured depository institutions such as KeyBank. The revised PCA framework

Table of contents

table in Figure 2 identifies the capital category threshold ratios for a “well capitalized” and an “adequately capitalized” institution under the PCA framework.

Figure 2. "Well Capitalized" and "Adequately Capitalized" Capital Category Ratios under Revised Prompt Corrective Action Framework


Prompt Corrective Action	Capital Category
Ratio	Well Capitalized (a)		Adequately Capitalized
Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based	6.50	%	4.50	%
Tier 1 Risk-Based	8.00		6.00
Total Risk-Based	10.00		8.00
Tier 1 Leverage (b)	5.00		4.00

(a)A “well capitalized” institution also must not be subject to any written agreement, order, or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

(b)As a “standardized approach” banking organization, KeyBank is not subject to the 3% supplementary leverage ratio requirement, which became effective January 1, 2018.

As of March 31, 2026, KeyBank (consolidated) satisfied the risk-based and leverage capital requirements necessary to be considered “well capitalized” for purposes of the revised PCA framework. However, investors should not regard this determination as a representation of the overall financial condition or prospects of KeyBank because the PCA framework is intended to serve a limited supervisory function. Moreover, it is important to note that the PCA framework does not apply to BHCs, like KeyCorp.

Recent regulatory capital-related developments

On March 19, 2026, the federal banking agencies issued three proposals that would make significant changes to the Regulatory Capital Rules. The agencies said that these proposals would streamline capital requirements and would better align regulatory capital with risk. One proposal would implement the final elements of the Basel III capital framework (the “Basel III Proposal”). The Basel III Proposal would establish a new approach for calculating risk-based capital ratios, “expanded risk-based approach (“ERBA”)”, that would include requirements for credit risk, equity risk, and operational risk and would increase risk sensitivity by varying capital requirements according to various risk factors. The Basel III Proposal would also establish a new framework for determining market risk capital requirements. The Basel III Proposal would apply to Category I and II banking organizations, and the market risk component of this proposal would also apply to other banking organizations with significant trading activity. All other banking organizations (including Category IV banking organizations such as KeyCorp and KeyBank) would have the option to have their capital requirements determined under the ERBA contained in this proposal.

A second proposal issued by the federal banking agencies on March 19, 2026 would revise the standardized approach for calculating risk-based capital ratios used by most banking organizations, including Category IV banking organizations such as KeyCorp and KeyBank (the “Standardized Approach Proposal”). The Standardized Approach Proposal would increase the calibration and risk sensitivity of risk weights for certain traditional lending activities. Among other things, the proposal would reduce the risk weight applicable to corporate exposures and would introduce a broader range of risk weights for residential mortgages based on more granular risk factors. Also, the Standardized Approach Proposal and the Basel III Proposal would modify the definition of capital by removing the threshold-based deduction for mortgage servicing assets, and the Standardized Approach Proposal would require Category III and IV banking organizations to include most components of AOCI, including net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, in regulatory capital subject to a five-year transition.

A third capital-related proposal issued on March 19, 2026 was a proposal from the Federal Reserve to (1) modify the Global Systemically Important Bank (“GSIB”) capital surcharge, which applies to U.S. global systemically important BHCs (not including KeyCorp) and (2) amend the Systemic Risk Report (FR Y-15), which is used to collect systemic risk data from BHCs with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more (including KeyCorp). The agencies indicated that the capital-related proposals they issued on March 19, 2026 replace the capital-related proposal they issued in July of 2023. Comments on the new proposals are due by June 18, 2026.

Capital planning, stress testing, and stress capital buffer

On June 27, 2025, the Federal Reserve announced the results of the supervisory stress test that it conducted of 22 large BHCs (not including KeyCorp). As a Category IV banking organization subject to a supervisory stress test every other year, KeyCorp was not required to participate in the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress test in 2025. On August 29, 2025, the Federal Reserve published the updated stress capital buffer requirements for large BHCs, including BHCs like KeyCorp that did not participate in the supervisory stress test in 2025. KeyCorp’s updated stress capital buffer is 3.2% (based on the results of KeyCorp’s 2024 supervisory stress test and adjusted for

Table of contents

KeyCorp’s planned common stock dividends as set forth in KeyCorp’s 2025 capital plan). This stress capital buffer became effective on October 1, 2025. On February 4, 2026, the Federal Reserve announced that it would maintain the current stress capital buffer requirements until 2027 for the BHCs that are subject to its supervisory stress tests (rather than updating the requirements in 2026) so that the Federal Reserve will be able to consider public feedback on its stress test models before setting the new requirements.

See Item 1. Business of our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Supervision and Regulation - Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements - Capital planning, stress testing, and stress capital buffer” for a discussion of other developments concerning capital planning, stress testing, and stress capital buffer requirements.

Recovery plans

On March 31, 2026, the OCC issued a final rule to rescind its recovery planning guidelines that applied to banks with average total consolidated assets of at least $100 billion (including KeyBank). In rescinding these guidelines, the OCC stated that the guidelines were overly prescriptive and imposed an unnecessary regulatory burden on the covered institutions. The OCC said that it would still expect all institutions that it regulates to have appropriate risk management processes in place to address all material risks in their operating environment and to maintain a formal contingency funding plan that considers a range of possible stress scenarios, assesses the stability of funding during periods of stress, and provides for a broad range of funding sources under adverse conditions.

Results of Operations

Earnings overview

The following chart provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to the three months ended March 31, 2026 (dollars in millions):

Net interest income

One of our principal sources of revenue is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income received on earning assets (such as loans and securities) and loan-related fee income, and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings. There are several factors that affect net interest income, including:

•the volume, pricing, mix, and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities;

•the volume and value of net free funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and equity capital;

•the use of derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk;

•interest rate fluctuations and competitive conditions within the marketplace;

•asset quality; and

•fair value accounting of acquired earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

To make it easier to compare both the results across several periods and the yields on various types of earning assets (some taxable, some not), we present net interest income in this discussion on a “TE basis” (i.e., as if all income were taxable and at the same rate). For example, $100 of tax-exempt income would be presented as $126, an amount that, if taxed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, would yield $100.

Table of contents

Net interest income (TE) was $1.23 billion for the first quarter of 2026 and the net interest margin was 2.87%. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, net interest income (TE) increased $125 million and net interest margin increased by 29 basis points. These increases were driven by a reduction in deposit costs as a result of declining interest rates and proactive deposit beta management, the reinvestment of proceeds from maturing low-yielding investment securities and fixed-rate swaps into higher-yielding investments, and a shift in the balance sheet composition to a more favorable mix of higher-yielding commercial and industrial loans. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on variable-rate earning assets.

Average loans were $107.7 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $3.4 billion compared to the first quarter of 2025. Average commercial loans increased by $5.7 billion, primarily due to an increase in commercial and industrial loans. Average consumer loans declined by $2.3 billion, reflective of broad-based declines across all consumer loan categories.

Average deposits totaled $147.3 billion for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $1.2 billion compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by the intentional runoff of brokered CDs.

Figure 3 shows the various components of our balance sheet that affect interest income and expense and their respective yields or rates for the current period and comparative year-ago period. This figure also presents a reconciliation of TE net interest income to net interest income reported in accordance with GAAP for each of those quarters. The net interest margin, which is an indicator of the profitability of the earning assets portfolio less the cost of funding, is calculated by dividing annualized TE net interest income by average earning assets.

Provision for credit losses

Key’s provision for credit losses was $106 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $118 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease from the year-ago period reflects both lower net-charge-offs and more stable reserve levels.

Noninterest income

As shown in Figure 4, noninterest income was $723 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $668 million for the year-ago quarter.

The following discussion explains the composition of certain elements of our noninterest income and the factors that caused those elements to change.

Trust and investment services income

Trust and investment services income consists of brokerage commissions, trust and asset management fees, and insurance income. The assets under management or administration that primarily generate certain trust and asset management fees are shown in Figure 5. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, trust and investment services income was up $18 million, or 12.9%, compared to the same period one year ago. This was primarily due to an increase in investment management income and other fees associated with higher assets under management.

A significant portion of our trust and investment services income depends on the value and mix of assets under management. As shown in Figure 5, at March 31, 2026, our bank, trust, and registered investment advisory subsidiaries had assets under management of $69.8 billion, up 14.3% compared to March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by continued net positive cash in-flows and market impacts on portfolios.

Total	$	69,756	$	69,964	$	67,855	$	64,244	$	61,053

Investment banking and debt placement fees

Investment banking and debt placement fees consist of syndication fees, debt and equity securities underwriting fees, merger and acquisition and financial advisory fees, gains on sales of commercial mortgages, and agency origination fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, investment banking and debt placement fees were up $22 million, or 12.6%, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase reflects higher investment banking fees and related activity in our mergers and acquisitions and equity new issue underwriting businesses.

Cards and payments income

Cards and payments income, which consists of debit card, prepaid card, consumer and commercial credit card, and merchant services income, increased $4 million or 4.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period one year ago. The increase was primarily a result of higher merchant services income and higher credit card spend volume slightly offset by higher credit card reward costs.

Service charges on deposit accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $8 million, or 11.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period one year ago. The increase was driven by account analysis fees.

Other noninterest income

Other noninterest income includes operating lease income and other leasing gains, corporate services income,

corporate-owned life insurance income, consumer mortgage income, commercial mortgage servicing fees, net securities gains(losses), and other income. Net other noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $3 million, or 1.5%, from the year-ago quarter. This net change resulted from higher corporate services income reflective of growth in loan commitment fees, foreign exchange trading gains, and non-yield loan fees, coupled with higher other noninterest income from increases in deposit network fees and lower realized losses on non-customer derivatives activity. Offsetting this net increase were lower commercial mortgage servicing fees reflective of lower special servicing and other miscellaneous ancillary fees.

Noninterest expense

As shown in Figure 6, noninterest expense was $1.2 billion for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2025.

The following discussion explains the composition of certain elements of our noninterest expense and the factors that caused those elements to change.

Personnel

Personnel expense, the largest category of our noninterest expense, increased by $63 million, or 9.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period one year ago. The increase was primarily related to continued investments in people, employee benefits, and incentive compensation associated with noninterest income growth.

Nonpersonnel expense

Other nonpersonnel expense includes net occupancy, computer processing, business services and professional fees, equipment, operating lease expense, marketing, and other miscellaneous expense categories. Other nonpersonnel expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased $13 million, or 2.9%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to declines in technology consulting and legal expenditures, operating lease costs, and marketing spend.

Income taxes

We recorded tax expense of $136 million for the first quarter of 2026 and tax expense of $109 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Our federal tax expense and effective tax rate differs from the amount that would be calculated using the federal statutory tax rate, primarily due to investments in tax-advantaged assets, such as corporate-owned life insurance, tax credits associated with low-income housing investments, and periodic adjustments to our tax reserves.

Additional information pertaining to how our tax expense (benefit) and the resulting effective tax rates were derived is included in Note 13 (“Income Taxes”) beginning on page 153 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are the largest component of our loan portfolio, representing 56% of our total loan portfolio at March 31, 2026, and 54% at December 31, 2025. This portfolio is approximately 92% variable rate and consists of loans originated primarily to large corporate, middle market, and small business clients.

Commercial and industrial loans totaled $60.7 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $3.0 billion, or 5.1%, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by loans to the Finance industry, which primarily includes finance, insurance, and leasing companies.

Commercial real estate loans. Our commercial real estate portfolio includes project loans primarily focused in market-rate and affordable multi-family housing loans, owner-occupied commercial and industrial operating company buildings, and community center grocer-anchored retail centers. These three commercial real estate segments make up 70% of our commercial real estate portfolio. Our non-owner-occupied portfolio is focused on operators of commercial real estate who not only utilize our loan products, but also utilize our broader industry-focused products and services and provide consistent pipelines into our agency, CMBS, and other long-term market take out products. This focus ensures our relationship clients foster and build portfolios with stable, recurring cash flows, with adequate, balanced cash reserves to support our balance sheet exposures through the economic cycle.

At March 31, 2026, commercial real estate loans totaled $16.9 billion, which includes $14.1 billion of mortgage loans and $2.8 billion of construction loans. Compared to December 31, 2025, this portfolio increased $394 million, or 2.4%. Nonowner-occupied properties, generally properties for which at least 50% of the debt service is provided by

Table of contents

rental income from nonaffiliated third parties, represented 81% of total commercial real estate loans outstanding at March 31, 2026.

Our overall construction loans constitute 17% of commercial real estate loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Construction loans provide a stream of funding for properties not fully leased at origination to support debt service payments over the term of the contract or project. As of March 31, 2026, 75% of our construction portfolio are multi-family project loans. Our office exposure only represents 4% of commercial real estate loans at period end.

As shown in Figure 10, our commercial real estate loan portfolio includes various property types and geographic locations of the underlying collateral. These loans include commercial mortgage and construction loans in both Consumer Bank and Commercial Bank.

Consumer loan portfolio

Consumer loans outstanding as of March 31, 2026, totaled $29.4 billion, a decrease of $638 million, or 2.1%, from December 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by declines across all consumer loan categories reflective of the intentional run-off of low-yielding loans.

The residential mortgage portfolio is comprised of loans originated by our Consumer Bank and is the largest segment of our consumer loan portfolio as of March 31, 2026, representing 63% of consumer loans outstanding. This is followed by our home equity portfolio representing 19% of consumer loans outstanding at March 31, 2026.

We held the first lien position for approximately 63% of the home equity portfolio at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. For loans with real estate collateral, we track borrower performance monthly. Regardless of the lien position, credit metrics are refreshed quarterly, including recent FICO scores as well as updated loan-to-value ratios. This information is used in establishing the ALLL. Our methodology is described in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of our 2025 Form 10-K.

In the event of default by a borrower, we are subject to recourse with respect to approximately $8.2 billion of the $595.0 billion of loans administered or serviced at March 31, 2026. These are primarily associated with commercial real estate loans administered or serviced. Additional information about this recourse arrangement is included in Note 14 (“Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees”) under the heading “Recourse agreement with FNMA.”

Table of contents

We derive income from several sources when retaining the right to administer or service loans that are sold. We earn noninterest income (recorded as “Consumer mortgage income” and “Commercial mortgage servicing fees”) from fees for servicing or administering loans. This fee income is reduced by the amortization of related servicing assets. In addition, we earn interest income from investing funds generated by escrow deposits collected in connection with the servicing loans. Additional information about our mortgage servicing assets is included in Note 8 (“Mortgage Servicing Assets”).

Securities

We manage our securities portfolio according to the following priorities: 1) store of liquidity, 2) interest rate risk management tool, and 3) source of earnings. In keeping with the first priority, the portfolio provides securities to meet our pledging requirements. Our securities portfolio totaled $48.0 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $48.2 billion at December 31, 2025. Available-for-sale securities were $38.9 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $39.6 billion at December 31, 2025. Held-to-maturity securities were $9.1 billion at March 31, 2026, and $8.6 billion at December 31, 2025.

Securities available for sale

The majority of our securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of federal agency mortgage-backed securities and CMOs. CMOs are debt securities secured by a pool of mortgages or mortgage-backed securities.

Figure 14 shows the composition, yields, and remaining maturities of our securities available for sale. For more information about these securities, including gross unrealized gains and losses by type of security and securities pledged, see Note 6 (“Securities”).

Uninsured deposits totaled $66.5 billion and $66.2 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Uninsured deposits are defined as the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit or similar state deposit insurance regimes and amounts in any other uninsured investment or deposit accounts that are classified as deposits and not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regimes.

Figure 17 presents estimated uninsured deposits for the noted periods which reflect amounts disclosed in KeyBank’s Call Report adjusted for intercompany deposits, which are not customer facing and are eliminated in consolidation, and accrued interest.

term borrowings, as well as issuances of long-term debt during 2026. Wholesale funding supplements client deposit funding and may rise or fall with seasonal or other funding needs. For more information regarding our wholesale funds, see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations under the heading “Risk Management - Liquidity risk management” of this report.

Capital

Our capital management objective is to maintain capital levels consistent with our risk appetite and of a sufficient amount to operate and support our clients under a wide range of economic conditions. Our current capital levels position us well to execute against our capital priorities including supporting organic growth, investing in our business, and providing an attractive return to our investors through dividends and share repurchases.

The following sections discuss certain ways we have deployed our capital. For further information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Note 16 (“Shareholders' Equity”).

(a) Excludes shares repurchased related to equity compensation programs

Dividends

Consistent with our capital plan, we paid a quarterly dividend of $.205 per Common Share for the first quarter of 2026. Further information regarding the capital planning process and CCAR is included under the heading “Capital planning, stress testing, and stress capital buffer” beginning on page 14 in the “Supervision and Regulation” section of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Common shares outstanding

Our Common Shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbol KEY with 25,409 holders of record at March 31, 2026. Our book value per Common Share was $16.13 based on 1.1 billion shares outstanding at March 31, 2026, compared to $16.27 per Common Share based on 1.1 billion shares outstanding at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, our tangible book value per Common Share was $13.60, compared to $13.77 per Common Share at December 31, 2025.

Figure 18 shows activities that caused the change in outstanding Common Shares over the past five quarters.

Table of contents

In March 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which we may purchase up to $1.0 billion of Common Shares. Information on repurchases of Common Shares by KeyCorp is included in Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this report. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we began repurchasing shares under the share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in March 2025.

As shown in Figure 18 above, Common Shares outstanding decreased by 15 million shares during the first quarter of 2026, primarily attributed to shares repurchased in the open market partially offset by shares issued under employee compensation plans. Open market share repurchases, inclusive of shares repurchased from Scotiabank, totaled approximately $389 million in the first quarter of 2026.

At March 31, 2026, we had 169.4 million treasury shares, compared to 154.3 million treasury shares at December 31, 2025. The increase in treasury shares was primarily attributable to open market share repurchases. Going forward, we expect to reissue treasury shares as needed in connection with stock-based compensation awards and for other corporate purposes.

Capital adequacy

Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and performance. All of our capital ratios remained in excess of regulatory requirements at March 31, 2026. Our capital and liquidity levels are intended to position us to weather an adverse operating environment while continuing to serve our clients’ needs, as well as to meet the Regulatory Capital Rules described in Item 1. Business of our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Supervision and Regulation.” Our shareholders’ equity to assets ratio was 10.6% and 11.1% at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.0% and 8.4% at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. See the section entitled “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations,” which presents the computations of certain financial measures related to “tangible common equity.” The minimum capital and leverage ratios under the Regulatory Capital Rules together with the ratios of KeyCorp at March 31, 2026, are set forth in the “Supervision and regulation — Regulatory capital requirements” section in Part I, Item 2 of this report.

Figure 19 represents the details of our regulatory capital positions at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, under the Regulatory Capital Rules. Information regarding the regulatory capital ratios of KeyCorp’s banking subsidiaries is presented annually, with the most recent information included in Note 21 (“Shareholders' Equity”) beginning on page 169 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Risk Management

Overview

Like all financial services companies, we engage in business activities that come with related risks. The most significant risks we face are credit, compliance, operational, liquidity, market, strategic, model, and technology risks. We manage such risks across the entire enterprise to maintain safety and soundness and maximize profitable growth. Certain of these risks are defined and discussed in greater detail in the remainder of this section. Our definition, philosophy, and approach to risk management have not materially changed from the discussion presented under the heading “Risk Management” beginning on page 74 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Market risk management

Market risk is the risk that movements in market risk factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices, credit spreads, and volatilities, will reduce Key’s income and the value of its portfolios. These factors influence prospective yields, values, or prices associated with the instrument. We are exposed to market risk both in our trading and nontrading activities, which include asset and liability management activities. Information regarding our fair value policies, procedures, and methodologies is provided in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Fair Value Measurements” on page 111 of our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 5 (“Fair Value Measurements”) in this report.

Trading market risk

Key incurs market risk as a result of trading activities that are used in support of client facilitation and hedging activities, principally within our investment banking and capital markets businesses. Key has exposures to a wide range of risk factors including interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, and commodity prices, as well as the associated implied volatilities and spreads. Our primary market risk exposures are a result of trading and hedging activities in the derivative and fixed income markets, including securitization exposures. At March 31, 2026, we did not have any re-securitization positions. We maintain modest trading inventories to facilitate customer flow, make markets in securities, and hedge certain risks including but not limited to credit spread risk and interest rate risk. The risks associated with these activities are mitigated in accordance with the Market Risk policies. The majority of our positions are traded in active markets.

Market risk management is an integral part of Key’s risk culture. The Joint KeyCorp and KeyBank National Association Risk Committee (“Board Risk Committee”) provides oversight of trading market risks. The ALCO and the Market Risk Committee regularly review and discuss market risk exposures and results of monitoring activities. Market risk policies and procedures have been defined and take into account our tolerance for risk and consideration for the business environment. The Market Risk Committee approves market risk policies and recommends our significant market risk policy to the ALCO and the Board Risk Committee for approval. For more information regarding monitoring of trading positions and the activities related to Market Risk Rule compliance, see “Market Risk Management” beginning on page 77 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

VaR and stressed VaR. VaR is the estimate of the maximum amount of loss on an instrument or portfolio due to adverse market conditions during a given time interval within a stated confidence level. Stressed VaR is used to assess extreme conditions on market risk within our trading portfolios. MTRM calculates VaR and stressed VaR at various confidence levels daily, and the results are closely monitored. VaR and stressed VaR results are also provided to our regulators and utilized in regulatory capital calculations. For more information regarding our VaR model, its governance, and assumptions, see “Market Risk Management” on page 77 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

MTRM backtests the VaR model on a daily basis to evaluate its predictive power. The test compares VaR model results at the 99% confidence level to daily held profit and loss. Backtesting exceptions occur when daily held profit and loss exceeds VaR. There were two backtesting exceptions for KeyCorp during the past 250 trading days ended March 31, 2026, generally caused by large moves in rates. All KeyCorp backtesting exceptions are thoroughly reviewed in the context of VaR model use and performance.

The aggregate VaR at the 99% confidence level with a one day holding period for all covered positions was less than $1 million at March 31, 2026, and $1.5 million at March 31, 2025. Figure 20 summarizes our VaR at the 99% confidence level with a one day holding period for significant portfolios of covered positions for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.

Stressed VaR is calculated by running the portfolios through a predetermined stress period which is approved by the Market Risk Committee and is calculated at the 99% confidence level using the same model and assumptions used for general VaR. The aggregate stressed VaR for all covered positions was $1.1 million at March 31, 2026, and $4.5 million at March 31, 2025. Figure 21 summarizes our stressed VaR at the 99% confidence level with a one day holding period for significant portfolios of covered positions for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025. Changes in VaR are dependent on portfolio composition, inventory levels, and other market factors.

Market risk is a component of our internal capital adequacy assessment. Our risk-weighted assets include a market risk-equivalent asset amount, which consists of a VaR component, stressed VaR component, a de minimis exposure amount, and a specific risk add-on including the securitization positions. The aggregate market value of the securitization positions as defined by the Market Risk Rule was $5 million at March 31, 2026, all of which were mortgage-backed security positions. Specific risk is the price risk of individual financial instruments, which is not accounted for by changes in broad market risk factors and is measured through a standardized approach. Market risk weighted assets, including the specific risk calculations, are run quarterly by MTRM in accordance with the Market Risk Rule, and approved by the Chief Market & Treasury Risk Officer.

Nontrading market risk

Most of our nontrading market risk is derived from interest rate fluctuations and its impacts on our traditional loan and deposit products, as well as investments, hedging relationships, long-term debt, and certain short-term borrowings. Interest rate risk, which is inherent in the banking industry, is measured by the potential for fluctuations in net interest income and the EVE. Such fluctuations may result from changes in interest rates and differences in the repricing and maturity characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We manage the exposure to changes in net interest income and the EVE in accordance with our risk appetite and in accordance with the Board-approved ERM policy.

Interest rate risk positions are influenced by a number of factors, including the balance sheet positioning that arises out of customer preferences for loan and deposit products, economic conditions, the competitive environment within our markets, changes in market interest rates that affect client activity, and our hedging, investing, funding, and capital positions. The primary components of interest rate risk exposure consist of reprice risk, basis risk, yield curve risk, and option risk.

•“Reprice risk” is the exposure to changes in the level of interest rates and occurs when the volume of interest-bearing liabilities and the volume of interest-earning assets they fund (e.g., deposits used to fund loans) do not mature or reprice at the same time.

•“Yield curve risk” is the exposure to nonparallel changes in the slope of the yield curve (where the yield curve depicts the relationship between the yield on a particular type of security and its term to maturity) and occurs when interest-bearing liabilities and the interest-earning assets that they fund do not price or reprice to the same term point on the yield curve.

Table of contents

•“Option risk” is the exposure to a customer or counterparty’s ability to take advantage of the interest rate environment and terminate or reprice one of our assets, liabilities, or off-balance sheet instruments prior to contractual maturity. Option risk occurs when exposures to customer and counterparty early withdrawals or prepayments are not mitigated with an offsetting position or appropriate compensation.

•“Basis risk” is the exposure to asymmetrical changes in interest rate indexes and occurs when floating-rate assets and floating-rate liabilities reprice at the same time, but in response to different market factors or indexes.

The management of nontrading market risk is centralized within Corporate Treasury. The Risk Committee of our Board provides oversight of nontrading market risk. The ERM Committee, the ALCO, and the Treasury Risk Oversight Committee (“TROC”) review reports on the interest rate risk exposures described above. In addition, the ALCO and the TROC review reports on stress tests and sensitivity analyses related to interest rate risk. These committees have various responsibilities related to managing nontrading market risk, including recommending, approving, and monitoring strategies that maintain risk positions within approved tolerance ranges. The A/LM policy provides the framework for the oversight and management of interest rate risk and is administered by the ALCO. The MTRM, as the second line of defense, provides additional oversight.

Net interest income simulation analysis. The primary tool we use to measure our interest rate risk is simulation analysis. For purposes of this analysis, we estimate our net interest income based on the current and projected composition of our on- and off-balance sheet positions, accounting for recent and anticipated trends in customer activity. The analysis also incorporates assumptions for the current and projected interest rate environments and balance sheet growth projections based on a most likely macroeconomic outlook. The modeling incorporates investment portfolio and swap portfolio balances consistent with management's desired interest rate risk positioning. The simulation model estimates the amount of net interest income at risk by simulating the change in net interest income that would occur if rates were to gradually diverge from market expectations over the next 12 months (subject to a floor on market interest rates at zero).

Figure 22 presents the results of the simulation analysis at March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, our simulated exposure to changes in interest rates remained relatively neutral. The exposure to declining rates has changed from (0.39)% as of March 31, 2025 to 0.12% as of March 31, 2026, while the exposure to rising rates has changed from 1.41% as of March 31, 2025 to 0.38% as of March 31, 2026.

We are actively managing the balance sheet to maintain desired IRR positioning in the current environment. Tolerance levels for risk management require the development of remediation plans to maintain residual risk within tolerance if simulation modeling demonstrates that a gradual, parallel 200 basis point Increase or 200 basis point decrease in interest rates over the next 12 months would reduce net interest income over the same period by more than 5.0%, revised mid-2025 from 5.5% to reflect tighter risk management. Current modeled exposure is within Board-approved tolerances.

Figure 22. Simulated Change in Net Interest Income


	March 31, 2026				March 31, 2025
Basis point change assumption	-200		+200		-200		+200


Tolerance level	(5.00)	%	(5.00)	%	(5.50)	%	(5.50)	%
Interest rate risk assessment	0.12	%	0.38	%	(0.39)	%	1.41	%

Simulation analyses produce an estimate of interest rate exposure based on assumption inputs within the model. Assumptions are tailored to the specific interest rate environment and validated on a regular basis. However, actual results may differ from those derived in simulation analyses due to unanticipated changes to the balance sheet composition, consumer behavior, product pricing, market interest rates, changes in management’s desired interest rate risk positioning, investment, funding and hedging activities, or repercussions from exogenous events.

Regular sensitivity analyses are performed on the model inputs that could materially change the resulting risk assessments. Assessments are performed using different yield curve shapes, including steepenings or flattenings of the curve, immediate changes in market interest rates, and changes in the relationship of money market interest rates. Assessments are also performed on changes to the following assumptions: loan and deposit balances, the pricing of deposits without contractual maturities, changes in lending spreads, prepayments on loans and securities, investment, funding and hedging activities, and liquidity and capital management strategies.

Table of contents

The results of additional assessments indicate that net interest income could increase or decrease from the base simulation results presented in Figure 22. Net interest income is highly dependent on the timing, magnitude, frequency, and path of interest rate changes and the associated assumptions for deposit repricing relationships, lending spreads, and the balance behavior of transaction accounts. If fixed-rate assets increase by $1 billion, or fixed-rate liabilities decrease by $1 billion, then the potential benefit to declining rates would increase by approximately 21 basis points. A five percentage point increase or decrease in the interest-bearing deposit beta assumption changes the current simulation results by approximately 98 basis points.

The current interest rate risk position could fluctuate to higher or lower levels of risk depending on the competitive environment and client behavior that may affect the actual volume, mix, maturity, and repricing characteristics of loan and deposit flows. Corporate Treasury’s discretionary activities related to funding, investing, and hedging may also change as a result of changes in customer business flows or changes in management’s desired interest rate risk positioning. As changes occur to both the configuration of the balance sheet and the outlook for the economy, management proactively evaluates hedging opportunities that may change the interest rate risk profile.

Simulations are also conducted that measure the effect of changes in market interest rates in the second and third years of a three-year horizon. These simulations are conducted in a similar manner to those based on a 12-month horizon. To capture longer-term exposures, changes in the EVE are calculated as discussed in the following section.

Economic value of equity modeling. EVE complements net interest income simulation analysis as it estimates risk exposure beyond 12-, 24-, and 36-month horizons. EVE modeling measures the extent to which the economic values of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments may change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. EVE is calculated by subjecting the balance sheet to an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates, measuring the resulting change in the values of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments, and comparing those amounts with the base case of the current interest rate environment. EVE policy limits are measured against a +/-200 basis point scenario subject to a floor on market interest rates at zero. This analysis is highly dependent upon assumptions applied to assets and liabilities with non-contractual maturities. Those assumptions are based on historical behaviors, as well as forward expectations. Remediation plans are similarly developed if the analysis indicates that the EVE will decrease by 15% or more in response to an instantaneous increase or decrease in interest rates. The position is within these guidelines as of March 31, 2026.

Management of interest rate exposure. The results of the various interest rate risk analyses are used to formulate A/LM strategies to achieve the desired risk profile while managing to objectives for capital adequacy and liquidity risk exposures. Specifically, risk positions are managed by purchasing or selling securities, issuing term debt with floating or fixed interest rates, and using derivatives. Interest rate swaps and options are predominantly used, which modify the interest rate characteristics of certain assets and liabilities.

Figure 23 shows all swap positions held for A/LM purposes. These positions are used to convert the contractual interest rate index of agreed-upon amounts of assets and liabilities (i.e., notional amounts) to another interest rate index. For example, fixed-rate debt is converted to a floating rate through a “receive fixed/pay variable” interest rate swap. The volume, maturity, and mix of portfolio swaps change frequently to reflect broader A/LM objectives and the balance sheet positions to be hedged. For more information about how interest rate swaps are used to manage the risk profile, see Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”).

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk, which is inherent in the banking industry, is measured by our ability to accommodate liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, meet contractual obligations, and fund new business opportunities at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner, and without adverse consequences. Liquidity management involves maintaining sufficient and diverse sources of funding to accommodate planned, as well as unanticipated, changes in cash flows of assets and liabilities under both normal and adverse conditions.

Governance structure

We manage liquidity for all of our affiliates on a consolidated basis. This approach considers the funding sources available to each entity, as well as each entity’s capacity to manage through adverse conditions.

The management of consolidated liquidity risk is centralized within Corporate Treasury. Oversight and governance is provided by the Board, the ALCO, the TROC, and the Chief Risk Officer. The Asset Liability Management Policy provides the framework for the oversight and management of liquidity risk and is administered by the ALCO. The Corporate Treasury Oversight group within the MTRM, as the second line of defense, provides additional oversight. Our current liquidity risk management practices are in compliance with the Federal Reserve Board’s Enhanced Prudential Standards.

These committees mentioned above regularly review liquidity and funding summaries, liquidity trends, peer comparisons, variance analyses, liquidity projections, internal liquidity stress tests, and goal tracking reports. The reviews generate a discussion of positions, trends, and directives on liquidity risk and shape a number of our decisions. When liquidity pressure is elevated, positions are monitored more closely and reporting is more frequent. To ensure that emerging issues are identified, we monitor an extensive set of systemic and idiosyncratic early warning indicators daily.

Factors affecting liquidity

Our liquidity could be adversely affected by both direct and indirect events. An example of a direct event would be a downgrade in our credit ratings by a rating agency. Examples of indirect events (events unrelated to us) that could impair our access to liquidity would be an act of terrorism or war, natural disasters, global pandemics, disruptive political events, or the default or bankruptcy of a major corporation, mutual fund, or hedge fund. Similarly, market speculation, or rumors about us or the banking industry in general, may adversely affect the cost and availability of normal funding sources. For a discussion of certain risks which may impact our liquidity, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" on pages 25-43 of our 2025 Form 10-K. For more information on recent liquidity activity, see the header "Our liquidity position and recent activity" in this report below.

Our credit ratings and rating agency outlooks at March 31, 2026, are shown in Figure 24. While we believe these credit ratings, under normal conditions in the capital markets, will enable KeyCorp or KeyBank to issue fixed income securities to investors, downgrades in our credit ratings could increase our cost of funds, trigger additional collateral or funding requirements, and decrease the number of investors and counterparties willing to lend to us.

Managing liquidity risk

Most of our liquidity risk is derived from our business model, which involves taking in deposits, many of which can be withdrawn at any time, and lending them out in the form of illiquid loan assets. The assessments of liquidity risk are measured under the assumption of normal operating conditions as well as under stressed environments. We manage these exposures in accordance with our risk appetite, and within Board-approved policy limits.

We regularly monitor our liquidity position and funding sources and measure our capacity to obtain funds in a variety of hypothetical scenarios in an effort to maintain an appropriate mix of available and affordable funding. In the normal course of business, we perform a monthly internal liquidity stress test at the consolidated KeyCorp level. From time to time, we may conduct internal liquidity stress tests more frequently, and use assumptions to reflect the changed market environment. Our testing incorporates estimates for loan and deposit lives based on our historical studies. Internal liquidity stress tests analyze potential liquidity scenarios under various funding constraints and time periods. Ultimately, they determine the periodic effects that major direct and indirect events would have on our access to funding markets and our ability to fund our normal operations. To compensate for the effect of these assumed liquidity pressures, we consider alternative sources of liquidity and maturities over different time periods to project how funding needs would be managed.

Our primary source of funding for KeyBank are customer deposits resulting in a consolidated loan-to-deposit ratio of 75% as of March 31, 2026. If the cash flows needed to support operating and investing activities are not satisfied by deposit balances, we rely on wholesale funding or on-balance sheet liquid reserves. Additionally, excess cash generated by operating, investing, and deposit-gathering activities may be used to repay outstanding debt or invest in liquid assets.

We maintain a Contingency Funding Plan that outlines the process for addressing a liquidity crisis. As part of the plan, we maintain on-balance sheet liquid reserves referred to as our liquid asset portfolio, which consists of high quality liquid assets. During a stress period, that reserve could be used as a source of funding to provide time to develop and execute a longer-term strategy. Figure 25 shows our available contingent liquidity at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, our secured term borrowings were $6.1 billion, an increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 to fund seasonal deposit outflows and strong loan growth during the quarter.

Liquidity programs

We have several liquidity programs, which are described in “Liquidity Risk Management” beginning on page 82 of our 2025 Form 10-K, that are designed to enable KeyCorp and KeyBank to raise funds in the public and private debt markets. The proceeds from most of these programs can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. These liquidity programs are reviewed from time to time by the Board and are renewed and replaced, as necessary. There are no restrictive financial covenants in any of these programs.

Liquidity for KeyCorp

The primary sources of liquidity for KeyCorp are dividends from KeyBank and the proceeds from the issuance of debt and capital securities. KeyCorp has sufficient liquidity when it can service its debt; support customary corporate operations and activities (including acquisitions); support occasional guarantees of subsidiaries’ obligations in transactions with third parties at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner, and without adverse consequences; and fund capital distributions in the form of dividends and share buybacks.

We use a parent cash coverage months metric as the primary measure to assess parent company liquidity. The parent cash coverage months metric measures the number of months into the future where projected obligations can be met with the current quantity of liquidity. We generally issue term debt to supplement dividends from

Table of contents

KeyBank to manage our liquidity position at or above our targeted levels. The parent company generally maintains cash and short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet projected debt maturities and dividends for the next 24 months. At March 31, 2026, KeyCorp held $5.4 billion in cash and short-term investments, which we projected to be sufficient to meet our projected obligations, including the repayment of our maturing debt obligations for the periods prescribed by our risk tolerance.

Typically, KeyCorp meets its liquidity requirements through regular dividends from KeyBank, supplemented with the proceeds from term debt issuances. Federal banking law limits the amount of capital distributions that a bank can make to its holding company without prior regulatory approval. A national bank’s dividend-paying capacity is affected by several factors, including net profits (as defined by statute) for the two previous calendar years and for the current year, up to the date of dividend declaration. During the first quarter of 2026, KeyBank paid $570 million in cash dividends to KeyCorp. As of March 31, 2026, KeyBank had regulatory capacity to pay $795 million in dividends to KeyCorp without prior regulatory approval.

On January 28, 2026, KeyCorp issued notes under the MTN program. KeyCorp issued $750 million of 5.305% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due January 28, 2037. Accordingly, at March 31, 2026, there was $12.5 billion available for issuance under the Medium-Term Note Program.

There were no bank note issuances during the first quarter. At March 31, 2026, there is $20.0 billion available for issuance under the KeyBank Bank Note Program.

Our liquidity position and recent activity

Our liquid asset portfolio, which includes overnight and short-term investments, as well as unencumbered, high quality liquid securities held as protection against a range of potential liquidity stress scenarios, continues to exceed the amount that we estimate would be necessary to manage through an adverse liquidity event by providing sufficient time to develop and execute a longer-term solution.

From time to time, KeyCorp or KeyBank may seek to retire, repurchase, or exchange outstanding debt, capital securities, preferred shares, or common shares through cash purchase, privately negotiated transactions or other means. Additional information on repurchases of Common Shares by KeyCorp is included in Part II, Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities beginning on page 48 of our 2025 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 2 of this report. Such transactions depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity and capital requirements, contractual restrictions, regulatory requirements, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material, individually or collectively.

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows summarize our sources and uses of cash by type of activity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.

For more information regarding liquidity governance structure, management of liquidity risk at KeyBank and KeyCorp, long-term liquidity strategies, and other liquidity programs, see “Liquidity Risk Management” beginning on page 82 of our 2025 Form 10-K as well as the disclosure included in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this report.

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Like other financial services institutions, we make loans, extend credit, distribute credit risk, purchase securities, provide financial and payments products, and enter into financial derivative contracts, all of which have related credit risk.

Credit policy, approval, and evaluation

We manage credit risk exposure through a multifaceted program. The Credit Risk Committee recommends Significant Level 1 credit policies to the Board Risk Committee for approval. These policies are communicated throughout the organization to foster a consistent approach to granting credit.

Our credit risk management team and certain individuals within our lines of business, to whom credit risk management has delegated limited credit authority, are responsible for credit approval. Individuals with assigned credit authority are authorized to grant exceptions to credit policies. It is not unusual to make exceptions to

Table of contents

established policies when mitigating circumstances dictate, however, a corporate level tolerance has been established to keep exceptions at an acceptable level based upon portfolio and economic considerations.

Our credit risk management team uses risk models to evaluate consumer loans. These models, known as scorecards, forecast the probability of serious delinquency and default for an applicant. The scorecards are embedded in the application processing system, which allows for real-time scoring and automated decisions for many of our products. We periodically validate the loan scoring processes.

We maintain an active concentration management program to mitigate concentration risk in our credit portfolios. For individual obligors, we employ a sliding scale of exposure, known as hold limits, which is dictated by the type of loan and strength of the borrower.

Allowance for loan and lease losses

We estimate the appropriate level of the ALLL on at least a quarterly basis. The methodology used is described in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” beginning on page 109 of our 2025 Form 10-K. Briefly, the ALLL estimate uses various models and estimation techniques based on our historical loss experience, current borrower characteristics, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other relevant factors. The ALLL at March 31, 2026, represents our best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date.

As shown in Figure 26, our ALLL from continuing operations increased by $22 million, or 1.5%, from December 31, 2025. The increase in the ALLL from continuing operations primarily reflects the addition of qualitative reserves to account for elevated economic uncertainty driven by geopolitical tensions and potential downside risks from energy price volatility. These increases were partially offset by continued improvement in the commercial portfolio mix. The commercial ALLL increased by $19 million, or 1.8%, from December 31, 2025, through March 31, 2026. Our consumer ALLL increased $3 million, or 0.9%, from December 31, 2025, through March 31, 2026. Refer to Note 4 (“Asset Quality”) within this report for further discussion of changes in the ALLL.

Nonperforming assets

Figure 30 shows the composition of our nonperforming assets. As shown in Figure 30, nonperforming assets at March 31, 2026, increased $65 million from December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by two idiosyncratic exposures within the utilities and multifamily real estate sectors. Management does not view this activity as indicative of broader credit deterioration, and these exposures are actively managed and well reserved.

See Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) of our 2025 Form 10-K under the headings “Nonperforming Loans,” “Impaired Loans,” and “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” for a summary of our nonaccrual and charge-off policies.

Operational and compliance risk management

Like all businesses, we are subject to operational risk, which is the risk of loss resulting from human error or malfeasance, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, and external events. These events include, among other things, threats to our cybersecurity, as we are reliant upon information systems and the internet to conduct our business activities. Operational risk intersects with compliance risk, which is the risk of loss from violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules and regulations, prescribed practices, and ethical standards. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, large financial companies like Key are subject to heightened prudential standards and regulation. This heightened level of regulation has increased our operational risk. While operational and compliance risk are separate risk disciplines in KeyCorp’s ERM framework, losses and/or additional regulatory compliance costs

Table of contents

are included in operational loss reporting and could take the form of explicit charges, increased operational costs, or harm to our reputation.

We seek to mitigate operational risk through identification and measurement of risk, alignment of business strategies with risk appetite and tolerance, and a system of internal controls and reporting. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to improve the oversight of our operational risk and to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations. For example, an operational event database tracks the amounts and sources of operational risk and losses. This tracking mechanism helps to identify weaknesses and to highlight the need to take corrective action. We also rely upon software programs designed to assist in assessing operational risk and monitoring our control processes. This technology has enhanced the reporting of the effectiveness of our controls to senior management and the Board.

The Operational Risk Management Program provides the framework for the structure, governance, roles, and responsibilities, as well as the content, to manage operational risk for Key. The Compliance Risk Management Program serves the same function in managing compliance risk for Key. The Operational Risk Committee and the Compliance Risk Committee support the ERM Committee by identifying early warning events and trends, escalating emerging risks, and discussing forward-looking assessments. Both the Operational Risk Committee and the Compliance Risk Committee include attendees from each of the Three Lines of Defense. Primary responsibility for managing and monitoring internal control mechanisms lies with the managers of our various lines of business. The Operational Risk Committee and Compliance Risk Committee are senior management committees that oversee our level of operational and compliance risk and direct and support our operational and compliance infrastructure and related activities. These committees and the Operational Risk Management and Compliance Risk Management functions are an integral part of our ERM Program. Our Internal Audit function regularly assesses the overall effectiveness of our Operational Risk Management and Compliance Risk Management Programs and our system of internal controls. Internal Audit reports the results of reviews on internal controls and systems to senior management and the Audit Committee and updates the Risk Committee, as appropriate, on matters related to the oversight of these controls.

Cybersecurity

For information on our cybersecurity risk management and governance practices, please see Item 1C. Cybersecurity beginning on page 44 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not

audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company,

they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for analyses

of results as reported under GAAP.

The tangible common equity ratio and the return on tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes that these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess our capital adequacy using tangible common equity, we believe it is useful to enable investors to assess our capital adequacy on these same bases.

Adjusted noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest income are non-GAAP measures in that they are adjusted to exclude the impact of significant or unusual items. Management believes adjusting for significant or unusual items provide investors with useful information to gain a better understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods, as well as demonstrate the effects of the financial impacts related to those selected items.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our business is dynamic and complex. Consequently, we must exercise judgment in choosing and applying accounting policies and methodologies. These choices are critical – not only are they necessary to comply with GAAP, they also reflect our view of the appropriate way to record and report our overall financial performance. All accounting policies are important, and all policies described in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) beginning on page 91 of our 2025 Form 10-K should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how we record and report our financial performance. Note 1 (“Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies”) of this report should also be reviewed for more information on accounting standards that have been adopted during the period.

In our opinion, some accounting policies are more likely than others to have a critical effect on our financial results and to expose those results to potentially greater volatility. These policies apply to areas of relatively greater business importance, or require us to exercise judgment and to make assumptions and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Because these assumptions and estimates are based on current circumstances, they may prove to be inaccurate, or we may find it necessary to change them. We rely heavily on the use of judgment, assumptions, and estimates to make a number of core decisions, including accounting for the ALLL and assets and liabilities that involve valuation methodologies. In addition, we may employ outside valuation experts to assist us in determining fair values of certain assets and liabilities. A brief discussion of each of these areas appears on pages 91 through 95 of our 2025 Form 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not significantly alter the manner in which we applied our critical accounting policies or developed related assumptions and estimates.

Accounting and Reporting Developments

Accounting Guidance Pending Adoption at March 31, 2026


Standard	Required Adoption	Description	Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 Income Statement— Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40)	January 1, 2027 Early adoption is permitted.	The guidance requires public companies disclose additional information about certain types of costs and expenses. The guidance could be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis.	The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Key’s disclosures.

ASU 2025-08 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans	January 1, 2027 Early adoption is permitted.	This guidance expands the types of acquired financial assets that must use the gross‑up approach under ASC 326. Certain non‑PCD loans considered “seasoned” are now accounted for using the gross‑up approach at acquisition. All non‑PCD loans acquired in a business combination are considered “seasoned” and other acquired loans are considered “seasoned” if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer did not originate the loans. This guidance must be applied prospectively to loans that are acquired on or after the initial application date.	While we are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial condition and results of operations, we would also assess for early adoption upon any applicable future activity.
ASU 2025-09 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Hedge Accounting Improvements	January 1, 2027 Early adoption is permitted.	The accounting update expands cash flow hedge accounting by allowing the grouping of forecasted transactions with similar risk exposures. It introduces a model that allows entities to hedge forecasted interest payments on certain variable rate debt using simplified assumptions. The guidance also broadens hedge accounting for nonfinancial forecasted transactions, permitting eligible components of spot and forward purchases or sales to be designated as hedged risks. The amendments update hedge accounting for net written options to better reflect changes in interest rate markets proceeding the discontinuation of LIBOR. Further, this new guidance improves accounting for dual hedge strategies involving foreign currency debt by eliminating recognition mismatches and better reflecting the economics of combined interest rate and foreign exchange risk management. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis.	We will early adopt this guidance within the first half of 2026 and do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
ASU 2025-06 - Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)	January 1, 2028 Early adoption permitted.	The guidance revises the accounting for internal-use software by replacing prescriptive development stage guidance with a principle-based capitalization threshold. Entities are required to begin capitalizing costs when management commits funding and it is probable the software will be completed and used as intended. This guidance may be applied on a prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective basis.	Key is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial condition and results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KeyCorp and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements include any voting rights entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for consolidations, we consolidate a VIE if we have: (i) a variable interest in the entity; (ii) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance; and (iii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE (i.e., we are considered to be the primary beneficiary). Variable interests can include equity interests, subordinated debt, derivative contracts, leases, service agreements, guarantees, standby letters of credit, loan commitments, and other contracts, agreements, and financial instruments. See Note 10 (“Variable Interest Entities”) for information on our involvement with VIEs.

We use the equity method to account for unconsolidated investments in voting rights entities or VIEs if we have significant influence over the entity’s operating and financing decisions (usually defined as a voting or economic interest of 20% to 50%, but not controlling). Unconsolidated investments in voting rights entities or VIEs in which we have a voting or economic interest of less than 20% or for which we do not have significant influence are carried at the cost measurement alternative or at fair value. Investments held by our registered broker-dealer and investment company subsidiaries (principal investing entities and Real Estate Capital line of business) are carried at fair value.

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature and disclosures that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

In preparing these financial statements, subsequent events were evaluated through the time the financial statements were issued. Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to all shareholders and other financial statement users or filed with the SEC.

2. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings (losses), adjusted for dividends declared on our preferred stock, available to each Common Share outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings (losses) available to each Common Share outstanding during the reporting periods adjusted to include the effects of potentially dilutive Common Shares. Potentially dilutive Common Shares include stock options and other stock-based awards. Potentially dilutive Common Shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in the periods where the effect would be antidilutive.

Table of contents

Our basic and diluted earnings per Common Share are calculated as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,

(a)For periods ended in a loss from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders, anti-dilutive instruments have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

(b)Assumes conversion of Common Share options and other stock awards and/or convertible preferred stock, as applicable.

(c)EPS may not foot due to rounding.

We have access to secured borrowings from the Federal Reserve and advances from the FHLB. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans and leases totaling $73.9 billion and $71.0 billion, respectively, were pledged to the FRB and FHLB for access to these contingent funding sources.

4. Asset Quality

ALLL

We estimate the appropriate level of the ALLL on at least a quarterly basis. The methodology is described in Note 1 ("Summary of Significant Accounting Policies") under the heading "Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" beginning on page 109 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

The ALLL at March 31, 2026, represents our current estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date. The changes in the ALLL by loan category for the periods indicated are as follows:

As described in Note 1 ("Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"), under the heading “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” beginning on page 109 of our 2025 Form 10-K, we estimate the ALLL using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current economic and portfolio conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In our estimation of expected credit losses, we use a two year reasonable and supportable period across all products. Following this two year period in which supportable forecasts can be generated, for all modeled loan portfolios, we revert expected credit losses to a level that is consistent with our historical information by reverting the macroeconomic variables (model inputs) to their long run average. We revert to historical loss rates for less complex estimation methods for smaller portfolios. A 20-year fixed length look back period is used to calculate the long run average of the macroeconomic variables. A four quarter reversion period is used where the macroeconomic variables linearly revert to their long run average following the two year reasonable and supportable period.

We develop our reasonable and supportable forecasts using relevant data including, but not limited to, changes in economic output, unemployment rates, property values, and other factors associated with the credit losses on financial assets. Some macroeconomic variables apply to all portfolio segments, while others are more portfolio specific. The following table discloses key macroeconomic variables for each loan portfolio.

Table of contents


Segment	Portfolio	Key Macroeconomic Variables (a)
Commercial	Commercial and industrial	BBB corporate bond rate (spread), fixed investment, business bankruptcies, GDP, industrial production, unemployment rate, and Producer Price Index
	Commercial real estate	Property & real estate price indices, unemployment rate, business bankruptcies, GDP, and SOFR
	Commercial lease financing	BBB corporate bond rate (spread), GDP, and unemployment rate
Consumer	Real estate — residential mortgage	GDP, home price index, unemployment rate, 30 year mortgage rate and U.S. household income
	Home equity	Home price index, unemployment rate, and 30 year mortgage rate
	Other consumer	Unemployment rate, prime rate and U.S. household income

	Credit cards	Unemployment rate and U.S. household income
	Discontinued operations	Unemployment rate

(a)Variables include all transformations and interactions with other risk drivers. Additionally, variables may have varying impacts at different points in the economic cycle.

In addition to macroeconomic drivers, portfolio attributes such as remaining term, outstanding balance, risk ratings, utilization, FICO, LTV, and delinquency also drive ALLL changes. Our ALLL models were designed to capture the correlation between economic and portfolio changes. As such, evaluating shifts in individual portfolio attributes and macroeconomic variables in isolation may not be indicative of past or future performance.

Economic Outlook

As of March 31, 2026, the economy continues to be resilient, but growth is weakening, inflationary pressures continue, and geopolitical uncertainty is elevated due to the ongoing military conflicts, including with Iran.

We utilized the Moody’s February 2026 Consensus forecast as the baseline forecast to estimate our expected credit losses as of March 31, 2026. This baseline scenario reflects slowing growth over the next two years, but no recession. U.S. GDP is expected to slow to an annual growth rate of 2.0% by mid-2026 and remain at that level for 2027. The expected National Unemployment Rate is forecasted at 4.5% over 2026. The U.S. Consumer Price Index is forecasted to remain close to 3% through 2026.

Evolving market conditions may not be fully captured in the baseline forecast as of quarter-end. The geopolitical environment remains both uncertain and complex, which poses potential downside-risks to the economic outlook over the next two years, although to what extent remains highly uncertain. These economic uncertainties were addressed through a qualitative reserve increase, which leveraged downside economic assumptions.

As a result of the current economic uncertainty, our future loss estimates may vary considerably from our March 31, 2026 assumptions.

Commercial Loan Portfolio

The ALLL from continuing operations for the commercial segment increased $19 million, or 1.8%, from December 31, 2025. The increasing reserve levels are reflective of the elevated economic uncertainty due to geopolitical tensions and the potential downsides from energy price volatility. These reserve increases are partially offset by continued improvement in the commercial portfolio mix.

Consumer Loan Portfolio

The ALLL from continuing operations for the consumer segment increased by $3 million, or 0.9%,from December 31, 2025. The stable reserve levels are reflective of economic uncertainty impacts, offset by loan runoff and continued strong credit performance, particularly for the residential mortgage loan book which represents the largest segment of the consumer portfolio.

Credit Risk Profile

The prevalent risk characteristic for both commercial and consumer loans is the risk of loss arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Evaluation of this risk is stratified and monitored by the loan risk rating grades assigned for the commercial loan portfolios and the refreshed FICO score assigned for the consumer loan portfolios. The internal risk grades assigned to loans follow our definitions of Pass and Criticized, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications. Loans with a pass rating represent those loans not classified on our rating scale for credits, as minimal credit risk has been identified. Criticized loans are those loans that either have a potential weakness deserving management's close attention or have a well-defined weakness that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. Borrower FICO scores provide information about the credit quality of our consumer loan portfolio as they provide an indication as to the likelihood that a debtor will repay its debts. The scores are obtained from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency and are presented in the tables below at the dates indicated.

Most extensions of credit are subject to loan grading or scoring. Loan grades are assigned at the time of origination, verified by credit risk management, and periodically re-evaluated thereafter. This risk rating methodology blends our judgment with quantitative modeling. Commercial loans generally are assigned two internal risk ratings. The first rating reflects the probability that the borrower will default on an obligation; the second rating reflects expected recovery rates on the credit facility. Default probability is determined based on, among other factors, the financial strength of the borrower, an assessment of the borrower’s management, the borrower’s competitive position within its industry sector, and our view of industry risk in the context of the general economic outlook. Types of exposure, transaction structure, and collateral, including credit risk mitigants, affect the expected recovery assessment.

(d)Net of unearned income, net of deferred fees and costs, and unamortized discounts and premiums.

At March 31, 2026, the carrying amount of our commercial nonperforming loans outstanding represented 72% of their original contractual amount owed, total nonperforming loans outstanding represented 78% of their original contractual amount owed, and nonperforming assets in total were carried at 79% of their original contractual amount owed.

Nonperforming loans reduced expected interest income by $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

The amortized cost basis of nonperforming loans on nonaccrual status for which there is no related allowance for credit losses was $251 million at March 31, 2026 and $386 million at December 31, 2025.

Collateral-dependent Financial Assets

We classify financial assets as collateral-dependent when our borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and we expect repayment to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Our commercial loans

Table of contents

have collateral that includes cash, accounts receivable, inventory, commercial machinery, commercial properties, commercial real estate construction projects, enterprise value, and stock or ownership interests in the borrowing entity. When appropriate we also consider the enterprise value of the borrower as a repayment source for collateral-dependent loans. Our consumer loans have collateral that includes residential real estate, automobiles, boats, and RVs.

At March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the recorded investment of consumer residential mortgage and home equity loans in the process of foreclosure was $65 million and $68 million, respectively.

There were no significant changes in the extent to which collateral secures our collateral-dependent financial assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The ALLL for loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is determined based on Key’s ALLL policy as described within Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) beginning on page 109 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Our strategy in working with commercial borrowers is to allow them time to improve their financial position through loan modification. Commercial borrowers that are rated substandard or worse in accordance with the regulatory definition, or that cannot otherwise restructure at market terms and conditions, are considered to be experiencing financial difficulty. A modification of a loan is subject to the normal underwriting standards and processes for other similar credit extensions, both new and existing. The modified loan is evaluated to determine if it is a new loan or a continuation of the prior loan.

Consumer loans in which a borrower requires a modification as a result of negative changes to their financial condition or to avoid default, generally indicate the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The primary modifications made to consumer loans are amortization, maturity date and interest rate changes. Consumer borrowers identified as experiencing financial difficulty are generally unable to refinance their loans through our normal origination channel or through other independent sources.

The following tables show the amortized cost basis at the end of the noted reporting periods of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty within the past 12 months of the noted periods. The tables do not include those modifications that only resulted in an insignificant payment delay. The tables do not include consumer loans that are still within a trial modification period. Trial modifications may be done for consumer borrowers where a trial payment plan period is offered in advance of a permanent loan modification. As of March 31, 2026, there were 124 loans totaling $20 million in a trial modification period. As of March 31, 2025, there were 98 loans totaling $15 million in a trial modification period.

Commitments outstanding to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loans were modified were $98 million and $77 million at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Liability for Credit Losses on Lending-related Commitments

The liability for credit losses on lending-related commitments is included in “accrued expense and other liabilities” on the balance sheet. This includes credit risk for recourse associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program and credit losses inherent in unfunded lending-related commitments, such as letters of credit and unfunded loan commitments, and certain financial guarantees.

5. Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with GAAP, Key measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market of the asset or liability. Additional information regarding our accounting policies for determining fair value is provided in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Fair Value Measurements” beginning on page 111 of our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 5 (“Fair Value Measurements”) beginning on page 131 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

(a)Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet.

(b)Netting adjustments represent the amounts recorded to convert our derivative assets and liabilities from a gross basis to a net basis in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The net basis takes into account the impact of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements that allow us to settle all derivative contracts with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net derivative position with the related cash collateral. Total derivative assets and liabilities include these netting adjustments.

The fair value and related unfunded commitments of our indirect principal investments and direct equity investments measured at net asset value as a practical expedient at March 31, 2026, was $8 million and $52 million, respectively.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The change in the fair values of our Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025 was not material.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of accounting guidance that requires assets and liabilities to be recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, or assessed for impairment. For more information on the valuation techniques used to measure classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, refer to Note 5 (“Fair Value Measurements”) in our 2025 Form 10-K. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

The following table presents our assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

We have other investments in equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the practical expedient to measure the investment using a net asset value per share. We have elected to measure these securities at cost less impairment plus or minus adjustments due to observable orderly transactions. Impairment is recorded when there is evidence that the expected fair value of the investment has declined to below the recorded cost. At each reporting period, we assess if these investments continue to qualify for this measurement alternative. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of equity investments under this method was $475 million and $467 million, respectively. We had no adjustments or impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Valuation Methods and Assumptions

(a)Fair value equals or approximates carrying amount. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity does not take into consideration the value ascribed to core deposit intangibles.

(b)Fair values of held-to-maturity securities are determined by using models that are based on security-specific details, as well as relevant industry and economic factors. The most significant of these inputs are quoted market prices, interest rate spreads on relevant benchmark securities, and certain prepayment assumptions. We review the valuations derived from the models to ensure that they are reasonable and consistent with the values placed on similar securities traded in the secondary markets.

(c)Information pertaining to our methodology for measuring the fair values of these assets and liabilities is included in the sections entitled “Qualitative Disclosures of Valuation Techniques” and “Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis” within our 2025 Form 10-K Note 5 (“Fair Value Measurements”).

(d)The fair value of loans is based on the present value of the expected cash flows. The projected cash flows are based on the contractual terms of the loans, adjusted for prepayments and use of a discount rate based on the relative risk of the cash flows, taking into account the loan type, maturity of the loan, liquidity risk, servicing costs, and a required return on debt and capital. In addition, an incremental liquidity discount is applied to certain loans, using historical sales of loans during periods of similar economic conditions as a benchmark. The fair value of loans includes lease financing receivables at their aggregate carrying amount, which is equivalent to their fair value.

(e)Fair values of time deposits and long-term debt are based on discounted cash flows utilizing relevant market inputs.

Discontinued assets — education lending business. Our discontinued assets include government-guaranteed and private education loans originated through our education lending business that was discontinued in September 2009. This portfolio consists of loans recorded at carrying value with appropriate valuation reserves. All of these loans were excluded from the table above as follows:

•Loans at carrying value, net of allowance, of $194 million ($146 million at fair value) at March 31, 2026, and $205 million ($155 million at fair value) at December 31, 2025.

These assets are classified as Level 3 because we rely on unobservable inputs when determining fair value since observable market data is not available.

6. Securities

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and approximate fair value of our securities available for sale and held-to-maturity securities are presented in the following tables. Gross unrealized gains and losses represent the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of securities on the balance sheet as of the dates indicated. Accordingly, the amount of these gains and losses may change in the future as market conditions change.

Based on our evaluation at March 31, 2026, an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded nor have unrealized losses been recognized into income. The issuers of the securities are of high credit quality and have a history of no credit losses, management does not intend to sell, and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely attributed to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The security issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments.

Table of contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had no material gross realized gains or losses from the sale of securities available for sale. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized no gross realized gains or losses from the sale of securities available for sale.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, securities available for sale and held-to-maturity securities totaling $18.5 billion and $18.7 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure securities sold under repurchase agreements, to secure public and trust deposits, to facilitate access to secured funding, and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The following table shows our securities by remaining maturity at March 31, 2026. CMOs, other mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities in the available for sale portfolio and held-to-maturity portfolio are presented based on their expected average lives. The remaining securities, in both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios, are presented based on their remaining contractual maturity. Actual maturities may differ from expected or contractual maturities since borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We are a party to various derivative instruments, mainly through our subsidiary, KeyBank. The primary derivatives that we use are interest rate swaps, caps, floors, forwards, and futures; foreign exchange contracts; commodity derivatives; and credit derivatives. Generally, these instruments help us manage exposure to interest rate risk, mitigate the credit risk inherent in our loan portfolio, hedge against changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and facilitate client financing and hedging needs.

Additional information regarding our accounting policies for derivatives is provided in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Derivatives and Hedging” beginning on page 113 of our 2025 Form 10-K. Our derivative strategies and related risk management objectives are described in Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”) beginning on page 139 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Fair Values, Volume of Activity, and Gain/Loss Information Related to Derivative Instruments

The following table summarizes the fair values of our derivative instruments on a gross and net basis as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted to take into account the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow us to settle all derivative contracts with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net derivative position with the related cash collateral. Securities collateral related to legally enforceable master netting agreements is not offset on the balance sheet. Our derivative instruments are included in “accrued income and other assets” or “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as follows:

Net derivative amounts	$	153,783	$	368	$	588	$	154,866	$	153	$	652

(a)We take into account bilateral collateral and master netting agreements that allow us to settle all derivative contracts held with a single counterparty on a net basis, and to offset the net derivative position with the related cash collateral when recognizing derivative assets and liabilities. As a result, we could have derivative contracts with negative fair values included in derivative assets and contracts with positive fair values included in derivative liabilities.

(b)Other derivatives include interest rate lock commitments related to our residential and commercial banking activities, forward sale commitments related to our residential mortgage banking activities, forward purchase and sales contracts consisting of contractual commitments associated with “to be announced” securities and when-issued securities, and other customized derivative contracts.

(c)Netting adjustments represent the amounts recorded to convert our derivative assets and liabilities from a gross basis to a net basis in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. As of March 31, 2026, excess collateral that has not been offset against net derivative instrument positions totaled $246 million of cash collateral and $261 million of securities collateral posted as well as $9 million of cash collateral held. As of December 31, 2025, excess collateral that has not been offset against net derivative instrument positions totaled $165 million of cash collateral and $218 million of securities collateral posted as well as $3 million of cash collateral and $78 million of securities collateral held.

(d)Other collateral represents the amount that cannot be used to offset our derivative assets and liabilities from a gross basis to a net basis in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The other collateral consists of securities and is exchanged under bilateral collateral and master netting agreements that allow us to offset the net derivative position with the related collateral. The application of the other collateral cannot reduce the net derivative position below zero. Therefore, excess other collateral, if any, is not reflected above.

Fair value hedges. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not exclude any portion of fair value hedging instruments from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

The following tables summarize the amounts that were recorded on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges.

(a)The carrying amount represents the portion of the asset or liability designated as the hedged item.

(b)Certain amounts are designed as fair value hedges under the portfolio layer method. The carrying amount represents the amortized costs basis of the prepayable financial assets used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be remaining at the end of the relationship. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the amortized costs of the closed portfolios in these hedging relationships was $7 billion and $7 billion, respectively, of which $5.3 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively, were designated in a portfolio layer hedging relationship. At March 31, 2026, the cumulative basis adjustments associated with these amounts totaled $(1) million, which is comprised of $(15) million in active hedging relationships and $14 million for discontinued hedging relationships. At December 31, 2025, the cumulative basis adjustments associated with these amounts totaled $(35) million, which is comprised of $(50) million in active hedging relationships and $14 million for discontinued hedging relationships.

Cash flow hedges. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, we did not exclude any portion of cash flow hedging instruments from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Considering the interest rates, yield curves, and notional amounts as of March 31, 2026, we expect to reclassify an estimated $77 million of after-tax net losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from AOCI to income during the next 12 months. In addition, we expect to reclassify approximately $3 million of net losses related to terminated cash flow hedges from AOCI to income during the next 12 months. These reclassified amounts could differ from actual amounts recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum length of time over which we hedge forecasted transactions is 3.51 years.

The following tables summarize the effect of fair value and cash flow hedge accounting on the income statement for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We hold collateral in the form of cash and highly rated securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, government-sponsored enterprises, or GNMA. Cash collateral of $45 million was netted against derivative assets on the balance sheet at March 31, 2026, compared to $103 million of cash collateral netted against derivative assets at December 31, 2025. The cash collateral netted against derivative liabilities totaled $235 million at March 31, 2026, and $80 million at December 31, 2025. Our means of mitigating and managing exposure to credit risk on derivative contracts is described in Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”) beginning on page 139 of our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Counterparty Credit Risk.”

The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative assets by type at the dates indicated. These assets represent our net exposure to potential loss after taking into account the effects of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements and other means used to mitigate risk.

Credit Derivatives

We are a buyer and, under limited circumstances, may be a seller of credit protection through the credit derivative market. We purchase credit derivatives to manage the credit risk associated with specific commercial lending and swap obligations as well as exposures to debt securities. Our credit derivative portfolio was in a net liability position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Our credit derivative portfolio consists of traded credit default swap indices and risk participation agreements. Additional descriptions of our credit derivatives are provided in Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”) beginning on page 139 of our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Credit Derivatives.”

The following table provides information on the types of credit derivatives sold by us and held on the balance sheet at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The notional amount represents the amount that the seller could

be required to pay. The payment/performance risk shown in the table represents a weighted average of the default

probabilities for all reference entities in the respective portfolios. These default probabilities are implied from

observed credit indices in the credit default swap market, which are mapped to reference entities based on Key’s internal risk rating.

Credit Risk Contingent Features

We have entered into certain derivative contracts that require us to post collateral to the counterparties when these contracts are in a net liability position. The amount of collateral to be posted is based on the amount of the net liability and thresholds generally related to our long-term senior unsecured credit ratings with Moody’s and S&P. Collateral requirements also are based on minimum transfer amounts, which are specific to each Credit Support Annex (a component of the ISDA Master Agreement) that we have signed with the counterparties. In a limited number of instances, counterparties have the right to terminate their ISDA Master Agreements with us if our ratings fall below a certain level, usually investment-grade level (i.e., “Baa3” for Moody’s and “BBB-” for S&P). At March 31, 2026, KeyBank’s rating was “Baa1” with Moody’s and “BBB+” with S&P, and KeyCorp’s rating was “Baa2” with Moody’s and “BBB” with S&P. Refer to the table below for the aggregate fair value of all derivative contracts with credit risk contingent features held by KeyBank that were in a net liability position.

Dollars in millions	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025


Net derivative liabilities with credit-risk contingent features	$	(130)	$	(49)
Collateral posted	126		49

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the fair value of additional collateral that could be required to be posted as a result of the credit risk related contingent features being triggered was immaterial to Key’s consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, only KeyBank held derivative contracts with credit risk contingent features.

8. Mortgage Servicing Assets

We originate and periodically sell commercial and residential mortgage loans but continue to service those loans for the buyers. We also may purchase the right to service commercial mortgage loans from other lenders. We record a servicing asset if we purchase or retain the right to service loans in exchange for servicing fees that exceed the going market servicing rate and are considered more than adequate compensation for servicing. Additional information pertaining to the accounting for mortgage and other servicing assets is included in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Servicing Assets” beginning on page 114 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Commercial

Changes in the carrying amount of commercial mortgage servicing assets are summarized as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
Dollars in millions	2026		2025
Balance at beginning of period	$	577	$	609
Servicing retained from loan sales	22		15
Purchases	4		4
Amortization	(31)		(31)

Balance at end of period	$	572	$	597
Fair value at end of period	$	733	$	805

The fair value of commercial mortgage servicing assets is determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows associated with servicing the loans. This calculation uses a number of assumptions that are based on current market conditions. The sensitivity, range, and weighted average of the significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value of our commercial mortgage servicing assets at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, along with the valuation techniques, are shown in the following table:


	March 31, 2026							December 31, 2025
Significant Unobservable Input	Range				Weighted Average			Range				Weighted Average

Escrow earn rate	3.92	%	4.11	%	4.10		%	3.94	%	4.09	%	4.08		%

Effect on fair value from 20% adverse change					(12)							(13)

If these economic assumptions change or prove incorrect, the fair value of commercial mortgage servicing assets may also change. Expected credit losses, escrow earn rates, and discount rates are critical to the valuation of commercial mortgage servicing assets. Estimates of these assumptions are based on how a market participant would view the respective rates and reflect historical data associated with the commercial mortgage loans, industry trends, and other considerations. Actual rates may differ from those estimated due to changes in a variety of economic factors. A decrease in the value assigned to the escrow earn rates would cause a decrease in the fair value of our commercial mortgage servicing assets. An increase in the assumed default rates of commercial mortgage loans or an increase in the assigned discount rates would cause a decrease in the fair value of our

commercial mortgage servicing assets. Prepayment activity on commercial serviced loans does not significantly impact the valuation of our commercial mortgage servicing assets. Unlike residential mortgages, commercial mortgages experience significantly lower prepayments due to certain contractual restrictions affecting the borrower’s ability to prepay the mortgage.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the

effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated without changing any other assumption, while in reality changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Assumptions and information for originated commercial mortgage servicing right additions for the year ended March 31, 2026 are shown in the following table:


Dollars in millions	March 31, 2026
Unpaid principal balance of loans sold during the period	$	1,685
Pretax gains related to the sale of mortgage loans	30
Weighted average servicing fee rate	0.17		%
Weighted average assumptions:
Escrow earn rate assumption	4.26		%
Discount rate assumption	10.34		%
Default rate assumption	1.02		%
Prepayment rate assumption	12.26		%

The amortization of commercial servicing assets is determined in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated net servicing income. The amortization of commercial servicing assets for each period, as shown in the table at the beginning of this note, is recorded as a reduction to contractual fee income. The contractual fee income from servicing commercial mortgage loans totaled $93 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and $107 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. Both the contractual fee income and the amortization are recorded, net, in “commercial mortgage servicing fees” on the income statement.

The fair value of mortgage servicing assets is determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows associated with servicing the loans. This calculation uses a number of assumptions that are based on current market conditions. The sensitivity, range, and weighted-average of the significant unobservable inputs used to fair value our mortgage servicing assets at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, along with the valuation techniques, are shown in the following table:

If these economic assumptions change or prove incorrect, the fair value of residential mortgage servicing assets may also change. Prepayment speed, discount rates, and servicing cost are critical to the valuation of residential mortgage servicing assets. Estimates of these assumptions are based on how a market participant would view the respective rates and reflect historical data associated with the residential mortgage loans, industry trends, and other considerations. Actual rates may differ from those estimated due to changes in a variety of economic factors. An

increase in the prepayment speed would cause a decrease in the fair value of our residential mortgage servicing

assets. An increase in the assigned discount rates and servicing cost assumptions would cause a decrease in the

fair value of our residential mortgage servicing assets.

The amortization of residential servicing assets for March 31, 2026, as shown in the table above, is recorded as a reduction to contractual fee income. The contractual fee income from servicing residential mortgage loans totaled $13 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and $9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. Both the contractual fee income and the amortization are recorded, net, in “consumer mortgage income” on the income statement.

9. Leases

As a lessee, we enter into leases of land, buildings, and equipment. Our real estate leases primarily relate to bank branches and office space. The leases of equipment principally relate to technology assets for data processing and data storage. As a lessor, we primarily provide financing through our equipment leasing business. For more information on our leasing activity, see Note 9 (“Leases”) beginning on page 147 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Lessor Equipment Leasing

Leases may have fixed or floating rate terms. Variable payments are based on an index or other specified rate and are included in rental payments. Certain leases contain an option to extend the lease term or the option to terminate at the discretion of the lessee. Under certain conditions, lease agreements may also contain the option for a lessee to purchase the underlying asset.

Interest income from sales-type and direct financing leases is recognized in "interest income — loans" on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Income related to operating leases is recognized in “operating lease income and other leasing gains” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The components of equipment leasing income are summarized in the table below:


	Three months ended March 31,
Dollars in millions	2026		2025

Sales-type and direct financing leases
Interest income on lease receivable	$	12	$	15

10. Variable Interest Entities

Our significant VIEs are summarized below. Additional information pertaining to the criteria used in determining if an entity is a VIE is included in Note 12 (“Variable Interest Entities”) beginning on page 151 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Table of contents

LIHTC and NMTC investments. We had $2.4 billion and $2.4 billion of investments in LIHTC operating partnerships at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. These investments are recorded in “accrued income and other assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not have any loss reserves recorded related to these investments because we believe the likelihood of any loss to be remote. For all legally binding, unfunded equity commitments, we increase our recognized investment and recognize a liability. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had liabilities of $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects, which are recorded in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We continue to invest in these LIHTC operating partnerships.

The assets and liabilities presented in the table below convey the size of KCDC’s direct and indirect investments at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. As these investments represent unconsolidated VIEs, the assets and liabilities of the investments themselves are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional information pertaining to our LIHTC investments is included in Note 12 (“Variable Interest Entities”) beginning on page 151 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

December 31, 2025
LIHTC investments	$	11,212	$	5,026	$	2,913

We had $17 million and $18 million in NMTC investments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These investments are recorded in “accrued income and other assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We amortize our LIHTC and NMTC investments over the period that we expect to receive the tax benefits. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized $68 million of amortization, $68 million of tax credits and $17 million of other tax benefits associated with these investments within “income taxes” on our income statement. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $68 million of amortization, $66 million of tax credits and $17 million of other tax benefits associated with these investments within “income taxes” on our income statement.

Principal investments. Our maximum exposure to loss associated with indirect principal investments consists of the investments’ fair value plus any unfunded equity commitments. The fair value of our indirect principal investments totaled $8 million and $9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These investments are recorded in “other investments” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The table below reflects the size of the private equity funds in which we were invested as well as our maximum exposure to loss in connection with these investments at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

March 31, 2026
Indirect investments	$	1,721	$	1	$	9
December 31, 2025
Indirect investments	$	1,858	$	3	$	10

Through our principal investing entities, we have formed and funded operating entities that provide management and other related services to our investment company funds, which directly invest in portfolio companies. These entities had no assets at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, that can be used to settle the entities’ obligations. The entities had no liabilities at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and other equity investors have no recourse to our general credit.

Additional information on our indirect and direct principal investments is provided in Note 5 (“Fair Value Measurements”) beginning on page 131 and in Note 12 (“Variable Interest Entities”) beginning on page 151 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Other unconsolidated VIEs. We are involved with other various entities in the normal course of business which we have determined to be VIEs. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance or hold a

variable interest that could potentially be significant. The table below shows our assets and liabilities associated with these unconsolidated VIEs at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. These assets are recorded in “accrued income and other assets,” “other investments,” “securities available for sale,” “held-to-maturity securities,” and “loans, net of unearned income” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to the value of the assets recorded. Of the total balance as of March 31, 2026, $41 million related to the purchase of senior notes from a securitization collateralized by sold indirect auto loans. Additional information pertaining to our other unconsolidated VIEs is included in Note 12 (“Variable Interest Entities“) under the heading “Other unconsolidated VIEs” on page 152 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

11. Income Taxes

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, new U.S. tax legislation was signed into law, OBBBA, which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, many of which are generally effective in the current year. Key does not expect any material change to our ongoing tax rate or any material impact on our results of operations.

Income Tax Provision

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the principal method established for computing the provision for income taxes in interim periods requires us to make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimated effective tax rate is then applied to interim consolidated pre-tax operating income to determine the interim provision for income taxes.

The effective tax rate, which is the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 20.7% for the first quarter of 2026 and 21.2% for the first quarter of 2025. The effective tax rates were less than our combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 24.2%, primarily due to income from investments in tax-advantaged assets such as corporate-owned life insurance, tax credits associated with low-income housing investments, and periodic adjustments to our tax reserves.

Deferred Taxes

At March 31, 2026, we had a net deferred tax asset of $1.2 billion, compared to a net deferred tax asset of $1.2 billion at December 31, 2025, which are included in “accrued income and other assets” on the balance sheet. The deferred tax asset is primarily related to market fluctuations in the investment security portfolio accounted for in other comprehensive income.

To determine the amount of deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, and therefore recorded, we conduct a quarterly assessment of all available evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, taxable income in prior periods, projected future taxable income, and projected future reversals of deferred tax items. These assessments involve a degree of subjectivity and may undergo change. Based on these criteria, we had a valuation allowance of $5 million at March 31, 2026, and $5 million at December 31, 2025. The valuation allowance is associated with federal and state capital loss carryforwards, and state net operating loss carryforwards.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

At March 31, 2026, Key’s unrecognized tax benefits were $3 million. As permitted under the applicable accounting guidance for income taxes, it is our policy to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in “income tax expense.”

Table of contents

Pre-1988 Bank Reserves Acquired in a Business Combination

Retained earnings of KeyBank included approximately $92 million of allocated bad debt deductions for which no income taxes have been recorded. Under current federal law, these reserves are subject to recapture into taxable income if KeyBank, or any successor, fails to maintain its bank status under the Internal Revenue Code or makes non-dividend distributions or distributions greater than its accumulated earnings and profits. No deferred tax liability has been established as these events are not expected to occur in the foreseeable future.

12. Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations primarily includes our government-guaranteed and private education lending business. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, approximately $194 million and $205 million, respectively, of education loans are included in discontinued assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net interest income after provision for credit losses for this business is not material and is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

13. Borrowings

The following table presents a summary of our short-term borrowings:



Dollars in millions	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025

Other short-term borrowings	6,149		1,071

Long-term borrowings

The following table presents the contractual rates and maturity dates of our long-term debt as of March 31, 2026 and the carrying values as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We use interest rate swaps and caps, which modify the repricing characteristics of certain long-term debt, to manage interest rate risk. For more information about such financial instruments, see Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”).

14. Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees

Legal Proceedings

Litigation. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are subject to various litigation, investigations, and administrative proceedings. Private, civil litigation may range from individual actions involving a single plaintiff to putative or actual class action lawsuits with potentially thousands of class members, as well as arbitrations and mass arbitrations. Investigations may involve both formal and informal proceedings, by both government agencies and self-regulatory bodies. These matters may involve claims for substantial monetary or non-monetary relief. At times, these matters may present novel claims or legal theories. Due to the complex nature

Table of contents

of these various other matters, it may be years before some matters are resolved. While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability, based on information presently known to us, we do not believe there is any matter to which we are a party, or involving any of our properties, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. We continually monitor and reassess the potential materiality of these litigation matters. We note, however, that in light of the inherent uncertainty in legal proceedings there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution will not exceed established accruals. As a result, the outcome of a particular matter, or a combination of matters, may be material to our results of operations for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss or our income for that particular period.

On at least a quarterly basis, we assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements. These legal accruals may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, we have not accrued a liability for said loss, consistent with applicable accounting guidance. Based on information currently available to us and advice of counsel, we believe that our established accruals are adequate and the liabilities arising from the legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition.

Guarantees

We are a guarantor in various agreements with third parties. The following table shows the types of guarantees that we had outstanding at March 31, 2026. Information pertaining to the basis for determining the liabilities recorded in connection with these guarantees is included in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Contingencies and Guarantees” beginning on page 115 of our 2025 Form 10-K.


March 31, 2026	Maximum Potential Undiscounted Future Payments		Liability Recorded
Dollars in millions
Financial guarantees:
Standby letters of credit	$	7,112	$	78
Recourse agreement with FNMA	8,240		59
Residential mortgage reserve	3,438		8
Written options (a)	3,882		27
Total	$	22,672	$	172

(a)The maximum potential undiscounted future payments represent notional amounts of derivatives qualifying as guarantees.

We determine the payment/performance risk associated with each type of guarantee described below based on the probability that we could be required to make the maximum potential undiscounted future payments shown in the preceding table. We use a scale of low (0% to 30% probability of payment), moderate (greater than 30% to 70% probability of payment), or high (greater than 70% probability of payment) to assess the payment/performance risk, and have determined that the payment/performance risk associated with each type of guarantee outstanding at March 31, 2026, is low. Information pertaining to the nature of each of the guarantees listed below is included in Note 19 (“Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Guarantees”) under the heading “Guarantees” beginning on page 166 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2026, our standby letters of credit had a remaining weighted-average life of 2.1 years, with remaining actual lives ranging from less than 1 year to 8.7 years.

Recourse agreement with FNMA. At March 31, 2026, the outstanding commercial mortgage loans in this program had a weighted-average remaining term of 5.7 years, and the unpaid principal balance outstanding of loans sold by us as a participant was $25.2 billion. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that we could be required to make under this program, as shown in the preceding table, is equal to approximately 32.7% of the principal balance of loans outstanding at March 31, 2026. FNMA delegates responsibility for originating, underwriting, and servicing mortgages, and we assume a limited portion of the risk of loss during the remaining term on each commercial mortgage loan that we sell to FNMA. We maintain a reserve for such potential losses of $59 million that we believe approximates the fair value of our liability for the guarantee as described in Note 4 (“Asset Quality”).

Residential Mortgage Banking. At March 31, 2026, the unpaid principal balance outstanding of loans sold by us in this program was $11.5 billion. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that we could be

Table of contents

required to make under this program, as shown in the preceding table, is equal to approximately 30% of the principal balance of loans outstanding at March 31, 2026.

Our liability for estimated repurchase obligations on loans sold, which is included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $8 million at March 31, 2026. For more information on our residential mortgages, see Note 8 (“Mortgage Servicing Assets”).

Written options. In the ordinary course of business, we “write” put options for clients that wish to mitigate their exposure to changes in interest rates and commodity prices. At March 31, 2026, our written put options had an average life of 1.4 years. These written put options are accounted for as derivatives at fair value, as further discussed in Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”).

Written put options where the counterparty is a broker-dealer or bank are accounted for as derivatives at fair value but are not considered guarantees since these counterparties typically do not hold the underlying instruments. In addition, we are a purchaser and seller of credit derivatives, which are further discussed in Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”).

Other Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Other off-balance sheet risk stems from financial instruments that do not meet the definition of a guarantee as specified in the applicable accounting guidance, and from other relationships. Additional information pertaining to types of other off-balance sheet risk is included in Note 19 (“Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Guarantees”) under the heading “Other Off-Balance Sheet Risk” on page 167 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

16. Shareholders' Equity

Comprehensive Capital Plan

On March 13, 2025, Key announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which we may purchase up to $1.0 billion of KeyCorp Common Shares, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

As contemplated by the Investment Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2024, between KeyCorp and Scotiabank, in February 2025, we entered into an agreement with Scotiabank to permit Scotiabank to participate, through a periodic “true-up” right, in any repurchase by KeyCorp of its common stock on a pro rata basis. During the first quarter of 2026, Key completed $389 million, or approximately 18 million shares, in share repurchases including $45 million, or approximately 2 million shares, from Scotiabank pursuant to our repurchase agreement described above. We also repurchased $46 million of shares related to equity compensation programs in the first quarter of 2026.

Consistent with our capital plan, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $.205 per Common Share for the first quarter of 2026.

Preferred Stock

17. Business Segment Reporting

The following is a description of the segments and their primary businesses at March 31, 2026.

Consumer Bank

The Consumer Bank serves individuals and small businesses throughout our 15 state branch footprint as well as healthcare professionals nationally through our digital channel by offering a variety of deposit and investment products, personal finance and financial wellness services, lending, mortgage and home equity, student loan refinancing, credit card, treasury services, and business advisory services. In addition, wealth management and investment services are offered to assist institutional, non-profit, and high-net-worth clients with their banking, trust, portfolio management, charitable giving, and related needs.

Commercial Bank

The Commercial Bank is an aggregation of our Institutional and Commercial operating segments. The Commercial operating segment is a full-service corporate bank focused principally on serving the borrowing, cash management, and capital markets needs of middle market clients within Key’s 15 state branch footprint. The Institutional operating segment operates nationally, providing lending, equipment financing, and banking products and services to large corporate and institutional clients. The industry coverage and product teams have established expertise in the following sectors: Consumer, Energy, Healthcare, Industrial, Public Sector, Real Estate, and Technology. It is also a significant, national, commercial real estate lender and third-party master and special servicer of commercial mortgage loans. The operating segment also includes the KBCM platform which provides a broad suite of capital markets products and services including syndicated finance, debt and equity underwriting, fixed income and equity sales and trading, derivatives, foreign exchange, mergers & acquisition and other advisory, and public finance.

Other

Other includes various corporate treasury activities such as management of our investment securities portfolio, long-term debt, short-term liquidity and funding activities, and balance sheet risk management, our principal investing unit, and various exit portfolios as well as reconciling items, which primarily represent the unallocated portion of nonearning assets of corporate support functions.

We use an internal FTP framework to measure the performance of its operating segments. Under this framework, business segments receive funding credits for liabilities generated and incur funding charges for assets held, based on market‑based funding assumptions, in order to isolate business operating performance from interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk is managed centrally. Because differences exist in the timing and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities across the balance sheet, a residual impact from centrally managed interest rate risk is not allocated to the operating segments and is reflected within the Other segment.

Effective January 1, 2026, we revised our segment reporting presentation to reflect this residual impact within the Other segment. Previously, these residual amounts were included in net interest income for the Consumer and Commercial Bank segments. This change aligns segment reporting with how management evaluates performance and manages interest rate risk on a centralized basis and affects only the presentation of segment results. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect this change in segment reporting presentation. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any period presented.

Developing and applying the methodologies that we use to allocate items among our lines of business is a dynamic process. Accordingly, financial results may be revised periodically to reflect enhanced alignment of expense base allocation drivers, changes in the risk profile of a particular business, or changes in our organizational structure.

The table below shows selected financial data for our business segments for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025. Capital is assigned to each business segment based on a combination of regulatory and economic equity.

Corporate treasury includes realized gains and losses from transactions associated with Key's investment securities portfolio. Reconciling items also includes intercompany eliminations and certain items that are not allocated to the business segments because they do not reflect their normal operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of KeyCorp

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of KeyCorp as of March 31, 2026, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of KeyCorp as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 23, 2026, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of KeyCorp's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to KeyCorp in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
