~~SECOND~~FIRST QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Northern Trust Corporation ~~(the Corporation) is a financial holding company that~~(Corporation) is a leading provider of wealth management, asset servicing, asset management and banking solutions to corporations, institutions, families and individuals. The Corporation focuses on managing and servicing client assets through its two client-focused reporting segments: Corporate & Institutional Services (C&IS) and Wealth Management. Asset management and related services are provided to C&IS and Wealth Management clients primarily by the Asset Management business. Except where the context requires otherwise, the terms “Northern Trust,” “we,” “us,” ~~“our”~~“our, ” “its,” or similar terms mean the Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The following should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in this report. Investors also should read the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

During the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic presented health and economic challenges on an unprecedented scale. During this time, Northern Trust continued to look after the health and safety of its employees, serve its clients, and support its communities. The global business resiliency plan was implemented, with the vast majority of staff working remotely and continuing to maintain Northern Trust’s high level of service and execution. The impacts of recent conditions are not fully reflected in the current quarter due to the quarter-lag and month-lag nature of Northern Trust’s trust, investment and other servicing fees and the timing of recent declines in short-term interest rates. Accordingly, revenue in future periods is expected to be impacted further by recent market events. In addition, our provision for credit losses in the future could be impacted to the extent that actual market and economic conditions deteriorate faster or greater than our forecasts. Key income statement drivers for the first quarter are highlighted below.

Net income per diluted common share ~~was $1.75~~increased in the current quarter upto $1.55 from ~~$1.68~~$1.48 in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2018.~~2019. Net income ~~was $389.4~~increased to $360.6 million in the current quarter as compared to ~~$390.4~~$347.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Annualized return on average common equity was ~~15.9%~~13.4% in the current quarter and ~~16.5%~~14.0% in the prior-year quarter. The annualized return on average assets was ~~1.34%~~1.17% in the current quarter as compared to ~~1.26%~~1.18% in the prior-year quarter.

Revenue ~~was relatively unchanged compared to~~increased $106.8 million, or 7%, from $1.48 billion in the prior-year quarter ~~totaling $1.51 billion.~~to $1.59 billion in the current quarter.

Noninterest income ~~totaled $1.09~~increased $120.7 million, or 11%, from $1.06 billion ~~down slightly from~~in the prior-year quarter to $1.18 billion in the current quarter, primarily reflecting ~~lower foreign exchange trading income, partially offset by~~ higher trust, investment and other servicing fees, foreign exchange trading income, security commissions and trading income and other operating income.

Net interest income ~~increased $4.1~~decreased $13.9 million, or 1%3%, to ~~$417.4~~$408.1 million in the current quarter as compared to ~~$413.3~~$422.0 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily ~~resulting from~~ due to a ~~higher~~lower net interest margin ~~partially offset by a decrease in earning assets.~~.

The Corporation adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13) on January 1, 2020, which significantly changes the way impairment of financial instruments is recognized by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of financial instruments. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Corporation recorded a $13.7 million increase in the allowance for credit losses with a corresponding cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings $10.1 million, net of income taxes. For more information on the adoption of ASU 2016-13, please refer to Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). The provision for credit losses was a ~~credit~~provision of ~~$6.5~~$61.0 million in the current quarter, as compared to ano provision ~~of $1.5 million~~ in the prior-year quarter. The current quarter provision was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by current and projected economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts, with the largest increase in the commercial and institutional and commercial real estate portfolios.

Overview (continued)

Noninterest expense ~~totaled $1.01~~increased $36.9 million, or 4%, to $1.07 billion in the current quarter ~~up $8.8 million, or 1%,~~ from ~~$997.4 million~~$1.03 billion in the prior-year ~~quarter.~~quarter, primarily attributable to higher compensation, equipment and software expense, employee benefits expense, and outside services, partially offset by lower other operating expense.

The provision for income taxes in the current quarter totaled $~~117.5~~100.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of ~~23.2%~~21.8%. The provision for income taxes in the prior-year quarter totaled ~~$116.8~~$105.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of ~~23.0%~~23.2%.

Trust, investment and other servicing fees are based primarily on the market value of assets held in custody, managed or serviced; the volume of transactions; securities lending volume and spreads; and fees for other services rendered. Certain market value calculations on which fees are based are performed on a monthly or quarterly basis in arrears. Accordingly, the impacts of lower equity markets were not fully reflected in the current quarter. Trust, investment and other servicing fees in future periods will be impacted further by recent market decreases. For a further discussion of trust, investment and other servicing fees and how they are derived, refer to the “Reporting Segments” section.

Noninterest Income (continued)

~~Other operating~~Foreign exchange trading income ~~totaled $38.9 million in the current quarter, up $7.5 million, or 23%,~~increased compared to ~~$31.4 million in~~ the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher client volumes and increased market volatility, partially offset by decreased foreign exchange swap activity in Treasury.

Security commissions and trading income increased compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher revenue from interest rate swaps and core brokerage.

Other operating income increased compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher income related to a ~~valuation adjustment to~~bank-owned life insurance program implemented during the second quarter of 2019, lower expenses for existing swap agreements related to Visa Inc. Class B common shares, and non-trading-related foreign exchange income, partially offset by a market value adjustment for a seed capital investment and lower miscellaneous income. The lower miscellaneous income was primarily associated with a market value decline in the ~~prior-year quarter and income~~supplemental compensation plans, which also resulted in a related ~~to a bank-owned life insurance program implemented~~decrease in ~~the current quarter.~~staff-related expenses in other operating expense.

Net Interest Income

~~The following table presents an analysis~~Net interest income is defined as the total of ~~average~~interest income and amortized fees on earning assets, less interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds, adjusted for the impact of interest-related hedging activity. Earning assets — including federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, interest-bearing due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks, Federal Reserve and other central bank deposits and other, securities, and loans and leases — are financed by a large base of interest-bearing funds that include client deposits, short-term borrowings, senior notes and long-term debt. Earning assets are also funded by noninterest-related funds, which include demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. Net interest income is subject to variations in the level and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing funds and their relative sensitivity to interest rates. In addition, the levels of nonaccruing assets and client compensating deposit balances ~~and interest rate changes affecting~~used to pay for services impact net interest income.

~~Table 12: Average Consolidated Balance Sheets with Analysis~~Net interest margin is the difference between what we earn on our assets and the interest rates we pay for deposits and other sources of funding. The direction and level of interest rates are important factors in our earnings. Net ~~Interest Income~~interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets.

Net interest income stated on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure that facilitates the analysis of asset yields. Management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest margins for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. A reconciliation of net interest income on a GAAP basis to net interest income on an FTE basis is provided on page 28.

Such adjustments are based on a blended federal and state tax rate of 24.9% and ~~24.8%~~24.9% for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively. Total taxable equivalent interest adjustments amounted to ~~$7.7~~$8.1 million and ~~$9.3~~$7.8 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively. A reconciliation of net interest income and net interest margin on a GAAP basis to net interest income and net interest margin on an FTE basis (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) is provided on page 28. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets.

Interest revenue on cash collateral positions is reported above within interest-bearing deposits with banks and within loans and leases. Interest expense on cash collateral positions is reported above within non-U.S. offices interest-bearing deposits. Related cash collateral received from and deposited with derivative counterparties is recorded net of the associated derivative contract within Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively.

Net interest income is defined as the total of interest income and amortized fees on earning assets, less interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds, adjusted for the impact of interest-related hedging activity.

Net interest income on a ~~fully taxable equivalent (FTE)~~FTE basis ~~totaled $425.1 million in the current quarter, up $2.5 million compared to $422.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily the result of~~ ~~a higher net interest margin, partially offset by a decrease in earning assets.~~ ~~Average earning assets for the current quarter were $105.7 billion, down~~decreased from ~~$114.4 billion in~~ the prior-year quarter primarily due to a lower net interest margin. Average earning assets were relatively flat primarily reflecting lower levels of short-term interest-bearing deposits with banks, ~~loans~~partially offset by higher loans. Funding of the balance sheet reflected higher interest-bearing deposits and ~~leases, and securities. The decline in earning assets was primarily the result of lower levels of~~ client demand and other noninterest-bearing deposits. The current quarter increase in customer deposits ~~interest-bearing deposits and short-term borrowed funds and~~primarily occurred at the ~~impact~~end of ~~a bank-owned life insurance program implemented~~the quarter as we saw our deposit balances move in response to the current ~~quarter.~~economic and market conditions.

The net interest margin on an FTE basis ~~increased to 1.61% in the current quarter~~decreased from ~~1.48% in~~ the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower short-term interest rates, partially offset by a balance sheet mix ~~shift, higher short-term~~shift. We expect that the recent declines in market interest rates ~~and lower foreign exchange swap volume.~~

~~When adjusted~~will continue to ~~an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.

Provision for Credit Losses

There was a ~~$6.5~~$61.0 million ~~credit~~ provision for credit losses in the current quarter, as compared to ano provision ~~of $1.5 million~~ in the prior-year quarter. The ~~credit~~ provision in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by ~~a decrease~~current and projected economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts, with the largest increase in the ~~allowance for the residential~~commercial and institutional and commercial real estate ~~portfolio~~portfolios. To the extent that our future forecasts show deterioration greater than that currently expected, our future provisions for credit losses could further increase. The provision in the prior-year quarter was primarily driven by ~~improved~~an increase in the specific reserve related to outstanding loans and standby letters of credit ~~quality, partially~~in the commercial and institutional portfolio, offset by ~~increases for the private client and commercial portfolios driven by lower credit quality, which resulted in~~ a net ~~reduction~~recovery in the ~~inherent allowance~~period..

Net ~~recoveries~~charge-offs in the current quarter were ~~$1.2~~$0.7 million, resulting from charge-offs of ~~$0.6~~$1.8 million and recoveries of ~~$1.8~~$1.1 million. The prior-year quarter included ~~$0.1~~$1.2 million of net ~~charge-offs,~~recoveries, reflecting ~~$2.2~~$1.0 million of charge-offs and ~~$2.1~~$2.2 million of recoveries. ~~Nonperforming~~Nonaccrual assets of ~~$118.9~~$105.5 million decreased ~~10%~~$18.6 million, or 15%, from ~~$132.2~~$124.1 million at the end of the prior-year quarter.

Residential real estate, commercial and institutional, and commercial real estate loans accounted for ~~87%~~65%, 9%32%, and 3%, respectively, of total ~~nonperforming~~nonaccrual loans and leases at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020.

Employee benefits expense ~~totaled $89.3 million in the current quarter, up slightly from $88.8 million in~~increased compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher retirement plan expenses and payroll ~~taxes,~~taxes.

Outside services expense increased compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting increased third-party advisory fees and technical services costs.

Equipment and software expense increased compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting higher depreciation and amortization and software support costs.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 was ~~$117.5~~$100.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of ~~23.2%~~21.8%, compared to ~~$116.8~~$105.1 million in the prior-year quarter, representing an effective tax rate of ~~23.0%~~23.2%.

The ~~increase in the~~ provision for income taxes ~~was~~decreased primarily ~~attributable~~due to an adjustment recorded in the current quarter related to the calculation of the Corporation’s U.S. foreign income tax credit with respect to the foreign income tax liabilities of its non-U.S. branches ~~and a prior-year quarter tax benefit recognized in conjunction with sales related to a non-strategic lease portfolio, partially offset by~~ a change in the earnings mix in tax jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates, ~~as well as~~an increase in the proportion of earnings derived from tax-exempt income, and additional benefits related to share-based compensation arrangements, partially offset by prior-year-quarter income tax benefits recorded ~~in the current quarter~~ as a result of ~~certain~~the Corporation’s international organizational restructuring.

REPORTING SEGMENTS

Northern Trust is organized around its two client-focused reporting segments: C&IS and Wealth Management. Asset management and related services are provided to C&IS and Wealth Management clients primarily by the Asset Management business. The revenue and expenses of Asset Management and certain other support functions are allocated fully to C&IS and Wealth Management.

Reporting segment financial information, presented on an internal management-reporting basis, is determined by accounting systems used to allocate revenue and expense to each segment, and incorporates processes for allocating assets, liabilities, equity and the applicable interest income and expense utilizing a funds transfer pricing (FTP) methodology. Under the methodology, assets and liabilities receive a funding charge or credit that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics on an instrument level.

Effective January 1, 2019, Northern Trust implemented several enhancements to its FTP methodology, including the allocation of contingent liquidity charges to C&IS and Wealth Management client instruments and products. These methodology enhancements affect the results of each reporting segment. Due to the lack of historical information, segment results for periods ended prior to January 1, 2019 have not been revised to reflect the methodology enhancements.

~~Also effective January 1, 2019, all revenues,~~Revenues, expenses and average assets are allocated to C&IS and Wealth Management, with the exception of non-recurring activities such as certain costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures, litigation, restructuring, and tax adjustments not directly attributable to a specific reporting segment.

For reporting periods ended prior to January 1, 2019, income and expense associated with the wholesale funding activities and investment portfolios of the Corporation and its principal subsidiary, The Northern Trust Company (the Bank), as well as certain corporate-based expense, executive-level compensation and nonrecurring items, were not allocated to C&IS and Wealth Management, and were reported in Treasury and Other.

Reporting segment results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a prospective basis.

Custody and fund administration fees, the largest component of C&IS fees, are driven primarily by values of client AUC/A, transaction volumes and number of accounts. The asset values used to calculate these fees vary depending on the individual fee arrangements negotiated with each client. Custody fees related to asset values are client specific and are priced based on month-end market values, quarter-end market values, or the average of month-end market values for the quarter. The fund administration fees that are asset-value-related are priced using month-end, quarter-end, or average daily balances. Investment management fees are based generally on market values of client assets under management throughout the period. Typically, the asset values used to calculate fee revenue are based on one-month and one-quarter in arrears.

Custody and fund administration fees increased ~~$8.4 million, or 2%,~~ from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to favorable lagged markets and new business, partially offset by ~~the~~ unfavorable ~~impact of movements in foreign exchange rates and unfavorable equity markets.~~currency translation. Investment ~~Management~~management fees ~~decreased 2%~~increased from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to ~~adjustments made in the prior-year quarter due to a change to gross revenue presentation for certain clients, partially offset by~~ favorable ~~markets.~~ ~~Securities lending fees decreased $8.4 million, or 28%,~~ ~~primarily reflecting lower spreads~~lagged markets and ~~loan volumes.~~new business.

The C&IS provision for credit losses was a ~~credit~~ provision of ~~$2.4~~$25.7 million in the current quarter, compared with a credit provision of ~~$3.0~~$1.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The current-quarter provision reflected an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by current and projected economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts on the commercial and institutional portfolio. The prior-year quarter credit provision reflected a net reduction in the inherent allowance driven by a reduction in standby letters of credit, partially offset by increases in the specific reserve related to outstanding loans and standby letters of credit. ~~The prior-year quarter provision reflected an increase in the specific reserve attributable to the commercial and institutional and commercial real estate portfolios.~~

~~REPORTING SEGMENTS (continued)~~

Treasury and Other

Beginning January 1, 2019, Treasury and Other includes income and expenses associated with non-recurring activities such as certain costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures, litigation, restructuring, and tax adjustments. For reporting periods ended prior to January 1, 2019, income and expense associated with the wholesale funding activities and investment portfolios of the Corporation and the Bank, as well as certain corporate-based expense, executive-level compensation and nonrecurring items, were not allocated to C&IS and Wealth Management, and are reported in Treasury and Other.

Treasury and Other noninterest income ~~decreased~~increased from ~~$17.1~~an expense of $5.1 million in the prior-year quarter to ~~an expense~~income of ~~$3.1 million in the current quarter. The decrease in noninterest income in Treasury and Other was driven by the enhanced segment reporting methodology beginning January 1, 2019.~~

Beginning January 1, 2019, net interest income and average assets are allocated to the C&IS and Wealth Management reporting segments. Accordingly, net interest income in the current quarter was zero, compared to net interest expense of $34.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Average earnings assets were also zero in the current-year quarter, compared to $13.0 billion in the prior-year quarter.

~~Noninterest expense totaled $0.8~~$2.9 million in the current quarter, ~~down $27.8 million, or 97%, from $28.6 million in the prior-year quarter~~ due to ~~the enhanced segment reporting methodology beginning January 1, 2019.~~

~~SIX-MONTH CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS~~

~~Overview~~

~~Net income per diluted common share was $3.23~~lower expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and $3.26 in the comparable prior-year period. Net income totaled $736.5 million, down $35.5 million, or 5%, compared to $772.0 million in the prior-year period. The performance in the current period produced an annualized return on average common equity of 15.0%, compared to 16.3% in the prior-year period. The annualized return on average assets was 1.26% in the current period compared to 1.25% in the prior-year period.

~~Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $2.99 billion, up $5.4 million as compared to $2.98 billion in the prior-year period.~~

Noninterest income was $2.15 billion, down $36.7 million, or 2%, from $2.18 billion in the prior-year period, primarily driven by decreased foreign exchange trading income, security commissions and trading income, and treasury management fees, partially offset by higher trust, investment and other servicing fees.

Net interest income totaled $839.4 million, up $42.1 million, or 5%, as compared to $797.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a higher net interest margin, partially offset by a decrease in earning assets.

~~The provision for credit losses was a credit provision of $6.5 million in the current period, as compared to a credit provision of $1.5 million in the prior-year period.~~

Noninterest expense totaled $2.03 billion in the current period, up $42.2 million, or 2%, from $1.99 billion in the prior-year period, primarily attributable to higher outside services, equipment and software, compensation, and other operating expense, partially offset by lower employee benefits.

Foreign exchange trading income decreased $30.7 million, or 19%, and totaled $126.7 million compared with $157.4 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased foreign exchange swap activity in Treasury, lower market volatility, and lower client volumes.

~~Noninterest Income (continued)~~

Security commissions and trading income decreased $6.6 million, or 12%, and totaled $46.7 million compared with $53.3 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower core brokerage revenue and transitions management revenue.

Other operating income increased 2% to $67.9 million compared with $66.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to income related to a bank-owned life insurance program implemented in the current quarter and a valuation adjustment to existing swap agreements related to Visa Inc.

Noninterest expense increased $11.1 million to $11.9 million in the current quarter from $0.8 million in the prior-year quarter, ~~partially offset by lower income from miscellaneous other operating income categories.~~ primarily due to higher compensation expense related to a one-time supplemental payment to employees in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

~~Notes:~~

Net Interest Income (FTE Adjusted), a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure, includes adjustments to a fully taxable equivalent basis for loans and securities. Such adjustments are based on a blended federal and state tax rate of 24.9% and 24.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total taxable equivalent interest adjustments amounted to $15.5 million and $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A reconciliation of net interest income and net interest margin on a GAAP basis to net interest income and net interest margin on an FTE basis (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) is provided on page 28.

Net interest income, stated on an FTE basis, totaled $854.9 million, an increase of $39.6 million, or 5%, from $815.3 million reported in the prior-year period. The increase is primarily due to a higher net interest margin, partially offset by a decrease in earning assets. Average earning assets were $108.2 billion, down $6.8 billion, or 6%, from $115.0 billion in the prior-year period, primarily attributable to lower short-term interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher levels of securities. The decline in earning assets was primarily the result of lower levels of client demand and other noninterest-bearing deposits, client interest-bearing deposits, and the impact of a bank-owned life insurance program implemented in the current quarter.

~~The net interest margin, on an FTE basis, increased to 1.59% from 1.43% in the prior-year period.~~

~~Provision for Credit Losses~~

The provision for credit losses was a credit provision of $6.5 million in the current-year period, compared to a credit provision of $1.5 million in the prior-year period. The credit provision in the current-year period was primarily driven by a decrease in the allowance for the residential real estate portfolio driven by reductions in outstanding loans, partially offset by increases for the private client and commercial portfolios driven by lower credit quality, which resulted in a net reduction in the inherent allowance. Net recoveries in the current-year period totaled $2.4 million resulting from $1.6 million of charge-offs and $4.0 million of recoveries, compared to net charge-offs of $3.1 million in the prior-year period resulting from $6.5 million of charge-offs and $3.4 million of recoveries. Residential real estate loans continued to reflect weakness relative to the overall portfolio, accounting for 87% and 84% of total nonperforming loans and leases at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Loan balances in the residential real estate, non-U.S., and commercial real estate portfolios decreased in the current period, while loan balances within the commercial and institutional portfolio increased.

Compensation expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, totaled $937.5 million, up $11.1 million, or 1%, from $926.4 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting increases due to higher salary expense and severance-related charges, partially offset by lower long term performance-based incentive compensation and cash-based incentive accruals.

Employee benefits expense of $175.0 million was down $5.5 million, or 3%, from $180.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower medical costs and retirement plan expenses, partially offset by higher payroll taxes.

~~Provision for Income Taxes~~

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $222.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 23.2%, compared to $218.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing an effective tax rate of 22.1%.

The increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to a tax benefit recognized in the prior-year period resulting from a change in accounting method regarding the timing of tax deductions for software development-related expenses, a prior-year period tax benefit recognized in conjunction with sales related to a non-strategic lease portfolio, and a current-year adjustment related to the calculation of the Corporation’s U.S. foreign income tax credit with respect to the foreign income tax liabilities of its non-U.S. branches, partially offset by a net tax provision adjustment recorded in the prior-year period associated

The $11.5 million excess is included in preferred stock dividends in the determination of net income available to common shareholders. During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Corporation repurchased ~~2,927,530~~3,240,738 shares of common stock, including ~~24,184~~496,862 shares withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of ~~$271.2~~$296.8 million ($~~92.65~~91.59 average price per share) ~~and 5,777,682 shares~~.

~~STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS~~

Net cash provided by operating activities of $378.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to period earnings, lower net collateral deposited with derivative counterparties, and the impact of non-cash charges such as amortization of computer software, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities of $145.5 million was primarily attributable to higher net collateral deposited with derivative counterparties, partially offset by period earnings.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $7.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to net proceeds associated with debt securities held to maturity, decreased levels of Federal Reserve and other central bank deposits, and lower levels of loans and leases, partially offset by the purchase of the bank-owned life insurance program in the current quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by investing activities of $3.6 billion was primarily attributable to decreased levels of Federal Reserve and other central bank deposits and interest-bearing deposits with banks, partially offset by net purchases of debt securities available for sale and held to maturity, net changes in other investing activities, decreased levels of client security settlement receivables, and the acquisition of Citadel Technology LLC’s Omnium technology platform and associated development resources.

Net cash used in financing activities of $7.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to decreased levels of total deposits, federal funds purchased, and the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share repurchase program, partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes. The decrease in total deposits was primarily attributable to lower levels of domestic noninterest-bearing deposits and non-U.S. office interest-bearing client deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in financing activities of $3.0 billion was primarily attributable to decreased levels of total deposits and the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share repurchase program, partially offset by higher short-term other borrowings and federal funds purchased.

Unrealized losses of $72.2 million as of June 30, 2019 in securities classified as “other” related to securities primarily purchased at a premium or par by Northern Trust to fulfill its obligation under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Unrealized losses on these CRA-related securities were attributable to yields that were below market rates for the purpose of supporting institutions and programs that benefit low- to moderate-income communities within Northern Trust’s market area. Unrealized losses related to corporate debt securities with no credit losses reported of ~~$6.3~~$10.7 million are primarily ~~reflected widened~~attributable to changes in credit spreads ~~and higher market rates~~ since purchase.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, $0.2 million of charges were recorded relating to the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of CRA-eligible securities. There were $0.2 million of OTTI losses for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Northern Trust has evaluated all securities with unrealized losses for possible OTTI in accordance with GAAP and Northern Trust’s security impairment review policy.

Northern Trust participates in the repurchase agreement market as a relatively low cost alternative for short-term funding. Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financings and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. To minimize potential credit risk associated with these transactions, the fair value of the securities purchased or sold is monitored, limits are set on exposure with counterparties, and the financial condition of counterparties is regularly assessed. It is Northern Trust’s policy to take possession, either directly or via third-party custodians, of securities purchased under agreements to resell. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are held by the counterparty until their repurchase.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation implemented a change in the classification of certain loans and leases to enhance the consistency of its reporting across various regulatory regimes. As a result, the loan and lease balances as of December 31, 2019 below have been adjusted to conform to the presentation for periods ended after such date. The adjustments generally reflected reclassification of loans from the commercial real estate class to commercial and institutional, residential real estate, and private client classes. There was no impact on total loans and leases previously reported.

In addition to the negative impact on net interest income and the risk of credit losses, ~~nonperforming~~nonaccrual assets also increase operating costs due to the expense associated with collection efforts. Changes in the level of ~~nonperforming~~nonaccrual assets may be indicative of changes in the credit quality of one or more loan classes.

Northern Trust’s underwriting standards do not allow for the origination of loan types generally considered to be high risk in nature, such as option adjustable rate ~~mortgages,~~mortgage loans, subprime loans, loans with initial “teaser” rates and loans with excessively high loan-to-value ratios. Residential real estate loans consist of first lien mortgages and equity credit lines, which generally require a loan-to-collateral ~~values~~value of no more than 65% to 80% at inception. ~~Revaluations~~Appraisals of supporting collateral for residential real estate loans are obtained at loan origination and upon refinancing or default or when otherwise considered warranted. ~~Collateral revaluations for mortgages~~Residential real estate collateral appraisals are performed and reviewed by independent third parties.

The commercial real estate ~~class~~portfolio consists of commercial mortgages and construction, acquisition and development loans extended primarily to experienced investors well known to Northern Trust. Underwriting standards generally reflect conservative loan-to-value ratios and debt service coverage requirements. Recourse to ~~borrowers~~owners through guarantees also is ~~also~~ commonly required.

Allowance for Credit Losses

During the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation implemented a change in the classification of certain loans and leases to specific segments to enhance the consistency of its reporting across various regulatory regimes. The ~~provision~~allowance for credit losses as of and prior to December 31, 2019 remains unadjusted, as the impact of the reclassification on the allowance was immaterial.

The allowance for credit losses — which represents management’s estimate of lifetime expected credit losses related to various portfolios subject to credit risk, off-balance-sheet credit exposure, and specific borrower relationships — is determined by management through a disciplined credit review ~~process, to be~~process. Northern Trust measures expected credit losses of financial assets with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. A financial asset is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets and the ~~amount needed to maintain the~~related allowance is determined through an individual evaluation.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $25.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to increased levels of total deposits and federal funds purchased, partially offset by decreased levels of short-term borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the redemption by the Corporation of the Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The increase in total deposits was primarily attributable to higher levels of interest-bearing non-U.S. office client deposits, domestic noninterest-bearing deposits, and savings, money market and other interest-bearing deposits. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities of $11.4 billion was primarily attributable to decreased levels of total deposits, federal funds purchased, and the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share repurchase program. The decrease in total deposits was primarily attributable to lower levels of interest-bearing and noninterest bearing non-U.S. office client deposits.

CAPITAL RATIOS

The capital ratios of Northern Trust Corporation and its principal subsidiary, The Northern Trust Company, remained strong at March 31, 2020, exceeding the minimum requirements for classification as “well-capitalized” under applicable U.S. regulatory requirements.

During the first quarter of 2020, Northern Trust Corporation contributed $500 million of capital to its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Northern Trust Company. Other drivers contributing to the change in capital ratios from the prior period include the redemption of all outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and the increase in total assets and risk-weighted assets. The table below provides capital ratios, as well as the required minimum capital ratios, for Northern Trust Corporation and The Northern Trust Company determined by Basel III phased-in requirements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

For a description of Northern Trust’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The use of estimates and assumptions is required in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and actual results could differ from those estimates. The SEC has issued guidance relating to the disclosure of critical accounting estimates. Critical accounting estimates are those that require management to make subjective or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Changes that may be required in the underlying assumptions or estimates in these areas could have a material impact on Northern Trust’s future financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (continued)

For Northern Trust, accounting estimates that are viewed as critical are those relating to the allowance for credit losses and pension plan accounting. Management has discussed the development and selection of each critical accounting estimate with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (Audit Committee). For a description of Northern Trust’s estimate related to pension plan accounting, refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses — which represents management’s estimate of lifetime expected credit losses related to various portfolios subject to credit risk, off-balance-sheet credit exposure, and specific borrower relationships — is determined by management through a disciplined credit review process. Northern Trust measures expected credit losses of financial assets with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. A financial asset is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets and the related allowance is determined through an individual evaluation.

Management’s estimates utilized in establishing an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses are not dependent on any single assumption. In determining an appropriate allowance level, management evaluates numerous variables, many of which are interrelated or dependent on other assumptions and estimates, and takes into consideration past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Due to the inherent imprecision in accounting estimates, other estimates or assumptions could reasonably have been used in 2020 and changes in estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period.

The allowance for credit losses consists of the following components:

Evaluated on an Individual Level: The allowance is determined through an individual evaluation of financial assets considered impaired that is based on expected future cash flows, the value of collateral, and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. For impaired loans for which the amount of allowance, if any, is determined based on the value of the underlying real estate collateral, third-party appraisals are typically obtained and utilized by management. These appraisals are generally less than twelve months old and are subject to adjustments to reflect management’s judgment as to the realizable value of the collateral.

Evaluated on a Collective Level: Expected credit losses are measured on a collective basis as long as the financial assets included in the respective pool share similar risk characteristics. If financial assets are deemed to not share similar risk characteristics, an individual assessment is warranted.

The allowance estimation methodology for the collective assessment is primarily based on internal loss ~~component)~~data specific to the Northern Trust financial asset portfolio from a historical observation period that includes both expansionary and recessionary periods. The estimation methodology and the related qualitative adjustment framework segregate the loan and lease portfolio into segments based on loan and obligor-specific factors, including loan type, borrower type, collateral type, loan size, and borrower credit quality. For each segment, the probability of default and loss given default are derived for each remaining quarter of the loan’s contractual life from models developed using historical data on macroeconomic factors and loans with similar factors. For quarters outside of the approved projection period, historical average loss rates for loans by segment are used. The exposure at default for every quarter is based on contractual balances as of each quarter-end, with adjustments made for potential draw-downs of revolving lines.

Northern Trust utilizes a quantitative probability of default / loss given default approach for the calculation of its credit allowance on a collective basis. For each of the different parameters, specific credit models for the individual loan segments were developed. For each segment, the probability of defaultand the loss given default are applied to the exposure at default for each projected quarter to determine the quantitative component of the allowance. The quantitative allowance is then reviewed within the qualitative adjustment framework, through which management applies judgment by assessing internal risk factors, potential limitations in the quantitative methodology, and environmental factors that are not fully contemplated in the forecast to compute an adjustment to the quantitative allowance for each segment of the loan portfolio.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (continued)

Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)

ASU 2016-13 requires the use of projected macroeconomic factors. Northern Trust’s current projection period is eight quarters, with a four-quarter straight-line reversion period to historical average loss rates. The Corporation uses multiple forecasts which are approved by Northern Trust’s Macroeconomic Scenario Design Committee (MSDC). The baseline forecast aligns with the Corporation’s latest thinking on macroeconomic projections for the next eight quarters. The forecasts are weighted at each evaluation period and are management’s best estimate of future economic projections at that time.

The allowance estimate is sensitive to changes in portfolio composition and quality, and macroeconomic forecasts. Increases in the amount of borrowing and material downgrades to the quality of the lending portfolio will increase the reserve, all else equal. Similarly, deteriorating projections for macroeconomic conditions will increase the reserve. Macroeconomic factors that are particularly correlated to Northern Trust’s loan and lease portfolio are equity market values, market volatility, corporate profits, house and commercial real estate price indices, unemployment, and disposable income. The investment security and other financial assets exposure portfolios are less sensitive to macroeconomic factors in terms of overall reserve impact due to factors such as high credit quality, short duration, and low historical losses.

The results of the credit reserve estimation methodology are reviewed quarterly by Northern Trust’s Credit Loss Reserve Committee, which receives input from Credit Risk Management, Treasury, Corporate Finance, the Economic Research group, and each of Northern Trust’s business units. The Credit Loss Reserve Committee determines the probability weights applied to each forecast approved by MSDC, and also reviews and approves qualitative adjustments to the collective allowance in line with Northern Trust’s qualitative adjustment framework. In determining the appropriate adjustment, management applies judgment by assessing internal risk factors, potential limitations in the quantitative methodology and environmental factors that are not contemplated in the quantitative methodology, including potential changes to the portfolio or economic events from the time of the last model execution to the end of the quarter.

The quarterly analysis of the individual and collective allowance components and the control process maintained by Credit Risk Management and the lending staff are the principal methods relied upon by management for the timely identification of, and adjustment for, changes in estimated credit loss levels. In addition to Northern Trust’s own experience, management also considers regulatory guidance. Control processes and analyses employed to ~~evaluate the appropriateness~~determine an appropriate level of ~~the~~ allowance for credit losses are reviewed on at least an annual basis and modified as ~~necessary.~~considered appropriate.

The provision for credit losses, which is charged to income, is the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to the level deemed to be appropriate through the above process. Actual losses may vary from current estimates and the amount of the provision for credit losses may be either greater than or less than actual net charge-offs. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses adequately addresses these uncertainties and has been established at an appropriate level.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815” (ASU 2020-01). ASU 2020-01 addresses two accounting issues: (1) application of the measurement alternative under Topic 321 in correlation with the transition into and out of the equity method under Topic 323 and (2) the measurement of certain forward contracts and purchased options to acquire equity securities. ASU 2020-01 clarifies that an entity applying the measurement alternative under Topic 321 that must transition to the equity method under Topic 323 because of an observable transaction will remeasure its investment immediately before transition, whereas an entity applying the equity method under Topic 323 that must transition to Topic 321 because of an observable transaction will remeasure its investment immediately after transition. ASU 2020-01 also clarifies that certain forward contracts or purchased call options to acquire equity securities generally will be measured using the fair value principles of Topic 321 before settlement or exercise. ASU 2020-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, although early adoption is permitted. ASU 2020-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on Northern Trust’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (ASU 2020-04). The global transition toward alternative reference rates and away from referencing the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates (Reference Rate Reform) is expected to have a significant impact on the volume of contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

There are two types of market risk, interest rate risk and trading risk. Interest rate risk is the potential for movements in interest rates to cause changes in net interest income and the market value of equity. Trading risk is the potential for movements in market variables such as foreign exchange and interest rates to cause changes in the value of trading positions.

Northern Trust uses two primary measurement techniques to manage interest rate risk: Net Interest Income (NII) sensitivity and Market Value of Equity (MVE) sensitivity. NII sensitivity provides management with a short-term view of the impact of interest rate changes on NII. MVE sensitivity provides management with a long-term view of interest rate changes on MVE ~~as of~~based on the period-end balance sheet. ~~Both simulation models use the same initial market interest rates and product balances.~~

As part of its risk management activities, Northern Trust also measures daily the risk of loss associated with all non-U.S. currency positions using a Value-at-Risk (VaR) model and applying the historical simulation methodology. The following information about Northern Trust’s management of market risk should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

NII Sensitivity — The modeling of NII sensitivity incorporates on-balance-sheet positions, as well as derivative financial instruments (principally interest rate swaps) that are used to manage interest rate risk. Northern Trust uses market implied forward interest rates as the base case and measures the sensitivity (i.e., change) of a static balance sheet to changes in interest rates. Stress testing of interest rates is performed to include such scenarios as immediate parallel shocks to rates, nonparallel (i.e., twist) changes to yield curves that result in their becoming steeper or flatter, and changes to the relationship among the yield curves (i.e., basis risk).

The NII sensitivity analysis incorporates certain critical assumptions such as interest rates and client behaviors under changing rate environments. These assumptions are based on a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. The simulation cannot precisely estimate NII sensitivity given uncertainty in the assumptions. The following key assumptions are incorporated into the simulation:


▪	the balance sheet size and mix remains constant over the simulation horizon with maturing assets and liabilities replaced with instruments with similar terms as those that are maturing, with the exception of certain nonmaturity deposits that are considered short-term in nature and therefore receive a more conservative interest-bearing treatment;


▪	prepayments on mortgage loans and securities collateralized by mortgages are projected under each rate scenario using a third-party mortgage analytics system that incorporates market prepayment assumptions;


▪	cash flows for structured securities are estimated using a third-party vendor in conjunction with the prepayments provided by the third-party mortgage analytics vendor;


▪	nonmaturity deposit pricing is projected based on Northern Trust’s actual historical patterns and management judgment, depending upon the availability of historical data and current pricing strategies/or judgment; and


▪	new business rates are based on current spreads to market indices.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The following table shows the estimated NII impact over the next twelve months of 100 and 200 basis point upward and 100 basis point downward movements in interest rates relative to forward rates. Each rate movement is assumed to occur gradually over a one-year period.

~~Table 28: Net Interest Income Sensitivity as of June 30, 2019~~TABLE 23: NET INTEREST INCOME SENSITIVITY AS OF MARCH 31, 2020

200 Basis Points	133			266
Decrease in Interest Rates Below Market Implied Forward Rates

The NII sensitivity analysis does not incorporate certain management actions that may be used to mitigate adverse effects of actual interest rate movement. For that reason and others, the estimated impacts do not reflect the likely actual results but serve as estimates of interest rate risk. NII sensitivity is not comparable to actual results disclosed elsewhere or directly predictive of future values

~~Table of Contents~~

~~MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)~~

of other measures provided. ~~Further, the estimated impacts presented above are not directly comparable to those presented in prior periods due to the impact of certain client deposit modeling enhancements.~~

MVE Sensitivity — MVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities, net of the value of ~~instruments~~financial derivatives that are used to manage the interest rate risk of balance sheet items. The potential effect of interest rate changes on MVE is derived from the impact of such changes on projected future cash flows and the present value of these cash flows and is then compared to the established limit. Northern Trust uses current market rates (and the future rates implied by these market rates) as the base case and measures MVE sensitivity under various rate scenarios. Stress testing of interest rates is performed to include such scenarios as immediate parallel shocks to rates, nonparallel (i.e., twist) changes to yield curves that result in their becoming steeper or flatter, and changes to the relationship among the yield curves (i.e., basis risk).

The MVE sensitivity analysis incorporates certain critical assumptions such as interest rates and client behaviors under changing rate environments. These assumptions are based on a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. The simulation cannot precisely estimate MVE sensitivity given uncertainty in the assumptions. Many of the assumptions that apply to NII sensitivity also apply to MVE sensitivity simulations, with the following separate key assumptions incorporated into the MVE simulation:


▪	the present value of nonmaturity deposits are estimated using dynamic decay methodologies or estimated remaining lives, which are based on a combination of Northern Trust’s actual historical runoff patterns and management judgment — some balances are assumed to be core and have longer lives while other balances are assumed to be temporary and have comparatively shorter lives; ~~and~~


▪	the present values of most noninterest-related balances (such as receivables, equipment, and payables) are the same as their book ~~values.~~values; and


▪	Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate forward interest rate paths.

The following table shows the estimated impact on MVE of 100 and 200 basis point shocks up and a 100 basis point shock down from current market implied forward rates.

MVE sensitivity is not comparable to actual results disclosed elsewhere or directly predictive of future values of other measures provided. ~~Further, the estimated impacts presented above are not directly comparable to those presented in prior periods due to the impact of certain client deposit modeling enhancements.~~

~~During the period ended June 30, 2019, Northern Trust did not exceed the NII or MVE sensitivity tolerances established by its Board of Directors.~~

Foreign Currency Value-At-Risk (VaR) — Northern Trust measures daily the risk of loss associated with all non-U.S. currency positions using a VaR model and applying the historical simulation methodology. This statistical model provides estimates, based on a variety of high confidence levels, of the potential loss in value that might be incurred if an adverse shift in non-U.S. currency exchange rates were to occur over a small number of days. The model incorporates foreign currency and interest rate volatilities and correlations in price movements among the currencies. VaR is computed for each trading desk and for the global portfolio.

Northern Trust monitors several variations of the global foreign exchange (GFX) VaR measures to meet specific regulatory and internal management needs. Variations include different methodologies (historical ~~variance-covariance~~simulation, Monte Carlo simulation and ~~Monte Carlo)~~Taylor approximation), ~~equally weighted and exponentially weighted volatilities,~~ horizons of one day and ten days, confidence levels ~~ranging from~~of 95% ~~to 99.95%~~ and ~~look~~

The following table presents a reconciliation of interest income, net interest income, net interest margin, and total revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP to such measures on an FTE basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets.Management believes this presentation provides a clearer indication of these financial measures for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.

~~RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS~~

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the way impairment of financial instruments is recognized by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of financial instruments. The main provisions of ASU 2016-13 include (1) replacing the “incurred loss” approach under current GAAP with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost, (2) requiring entities to record an allowance for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount of the investments, as is required by the other-than-temporary-impairment model under current GAAP, and (3) a simplified accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. Northern Trust plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020.

Northern Trust has established a working group across various functions, an overall governance structure, and a detailed project plan for its implementation efforts. Further, Northern Trust has finalized the development activities for its credit models, and its internal model validation group has substantially completed the review and validation process for these models. Northern Trust expects to apply a methodology utilizing probability-of-default and loss-given-default for the majority of its exposures within the scope of ASU 2016-13. Parallel testing has commenced to ensure that expected credit losses are calculated under the aforementioned methodology and to determine impacts upon adoption. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will depend on, among other things, the economic environment and forecasted conditions as well as the composition of Northern Trust’s portfolios at the date of adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal - Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (ASU 2018-15). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, although early adoption is permitted. ASU 2018-15 is not expected to impact significantly Northern Trust’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Trust Corporation ~~(the Corporation)~~(Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Northern Trust Company ~~(the Bank)~~(Bank), and various other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation and ~~the~~ Bank. Throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the term “Northern Trust” refers to the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements, as of and for the periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ have not been audited by the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all accounting entries and adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. The accounting and financial reporting policies of Northern Trust conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and reporting practices prescribed for the banking industry. The consolidated statements of income include results of acquired subsidiaries from the dates of acquisition. Certain ~~amounts in prior periods~~prior-period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. For a description of Northern Trust’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 — Summary of ~~the Notes to Consolidated~~Significant Accounting Policies included under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, ~~2019,~~2020, Northern Trust adopted ~~ASU~~Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. ~~2016-02, “Leases~~2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic ~~842)"~~326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU ~~2016-02)~~2016-13). ASU ~~2016-02 introduces a lessee~~2016-13 significantly changes the way impairment of financial instruments is recognized by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of financial instruments. The main provisions of ASU 2016-13 include (1) replacing the “incurred loss” approach under current GAAP with an “expected loss” model ~~that brings most leases on~~for instruments measured at amortized cost, (2) requiring entities to record an allowance for available for sale debt securities rather than reduce the ~~balance sheet, with certain specified scope exceptions. Specifically within~~carrying amount of the ~~lessee~~investments, as is required by the other-than-temporary-impairment model under ~~ASU 2016-02,~~legacy GAAP, and (3) a ~~lessee is required to recognize on the balance sheet a liability to make future lease payments, known as the lease liability,~~simplified accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and ~~a right-of-use asset (ROU asset) representing its right to use the underlying asset over the lease term.~~ loans.

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, Northern Trust ~~elected~~recorded a $13.7 million increase in the ~~package~~allowance for credit losses with a corresponding cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings $10.1 million, net of practical expedients available under ASU 2016-02, which allowed Northern Trust to forego a reassessment of (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) the initial direct costs for any existing leases. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02, Northern Trust recognized operating lease liabilities and ROU assets of approximately $530 million and $480 million, respectively.income taxes, on January 1, 2020. Northern Trust did not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying ASU ~~2016-02.~~2016-13. There was no significant impact to Northern Trust’s consolidated results of operations. Please refer to ~~“Note 8 - Lease Commitments”~~Note 7 — Allowance for Credit Losses for further information.

On January 1, ~~2019,~~2020, Northern Trust adopted ASU No. ~~2017-08, “Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees~~2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ~~Costs (Subtopic 310-20)~~(Topic 350): ~~Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Securities”~~Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (ASU ~~2017-08)~~2017-04). ASU ~~2017-08~~2017-04 amends the ~~amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at~~subsequent measurement of goodwill whereby Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test is eliminated. As a ~~premium~~result, the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value and ~~shortens the amortization period~~an impairment charge should be recognized for the ~~premium~~amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the ~~earliest call date.~~total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Upon adoption of ASU ~~2017-08,~~2017-04, there was no significant impact to Northern Trust’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

On January 1, ~~2019,~~2020, Northern Trust adopted ASU No. ~~2018-16, “Derivatives and Hedging~~2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic ~~815)~~820): ~~Inclusion~~Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (ASU 2018-13). The primary objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the ~~Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes” (ASU 2018-16). ASU 2018-16 permits use~~effectiveness of disclosures in the ~~OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815.~~notes to financial statements. Upon adoption of ASU ~~2018-16,~~2018-13, there was no significant impact to Northern Trust’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

On January 1, 2020, Northern Trust adopted ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (ASU 2018-15). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). Upon adoption of ASU 2018-15, there was no significant impact to Northern Trust’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

On January 1, 2020, Northern Trust adopted ASU 2018-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” (ASU 2018-17). ASU 2018-17 requires that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis (rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy. The following describes the hierarchy of valuation inputs (Levels 1, 2, and 3) used to measure fair value and the primary valuation methodologies used by Northern Trust for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity; unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about how market participants would value an asset or liability based on the best information available. GAAP requires an entity measuring fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and establishes a fair value hierarchy of inputs. Financial instruments are categorized within the hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to their valuation. ~~Northern Trust’s policy is to recognize~~No transfers into ~~and transfers~~or out of ~~fair value levels as of the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. No transfers between fair value levels~~Level 3 occurred during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 or the ~~year~~twelve months ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Level 1 — Quoted, active market prices for identical assets or liabilities.

Northern Trust’s Level 1 assets are comprised of available for sale investments in U.S. treasury securities.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)~~

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted active market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Northern Trust’s Level 2 assets include available for sale and trading account debt securities, the fair values of which are determined predominantly by external pricing vendors. Prices received from vendors are compared to other vendor and third-party prices. If a security price obtained from a pricing vendor is determined to exceed pre-determined tolerance levels that are assigned based on an asset type’s characteristics, the exception is researched and, if the price is not able to be validated, an alternate pricing vendor is utilized, consistent with Northern Trust’s pricing source hierarchy. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, Northern Trust’s available for sale debt securities portfolio included ~~1,509~~1,771 Level 2 debt securities with an aggregate market value of ~~$32.8~~$34.9 billion. All ~~1,509~~1,771 debt securities were valued by external pricing vendors. As of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, Northern Trust’s available for sale debt securities portfolio included ~~1,479~~1,704 Level 2 debt securities with an aggregate market value of ~~$31.7~~$34.3 billion. All ~~1,479~~1,704 debt securities were valued by external pricing vendors. Trading account debt securities, which totaled ~~$0.8~~$1.2 million and $0.3 million as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, were all valued using external pricing vendors.

Level 2 assets and liabilities also include derivative contracts which are valued internally using widely accepted income-based models that incorporate inputs readily observable in actively quoted markets and reflect the contractual terms of the contracts. Observable inputs include foreign exchange rates and interest rates for foreign exchange contracts; credit spreads, default probabilities, and recovery rates for credit default swap contracts; interest rates for interest rate swap contracts and forward contracts; and interest rates and volatility inputs for interest rate option contracts. Northern Trust evaluates the impact of counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk on the valuation of its derivative instruments. Factors considered include the likelihood of default by Northern Trust and its counterparties, the remaining maturities of the instruments, net exposures after giving effect to master netting arrangements or similar agreements, available collateral, and other credit enhancements in determining the appropriate fair value of derivative instruments. The resulting valuation adjustments have not been considered material.

Level 3 — Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace.

Northern Trust’s Level 3 liabilities consist of swaps that Northern Trust entered into with the purchaser of 1.1 million and 1.0 million shares of Visa Inc. Class B common stock (Visa Class B common shares) previously held by Northern Trust and sold in June 2016 and 2015, respectively. Pursuant to the swaps, Northern Trust retains the risks associated with the ultimate conversion of the Visa Class B common shares into shares of Visa Inc. Class A common stock (Visa Class A common shares), such that the counterparty will be compensated for any dilutive adjustments to the conversion ratio and Northern Trust will be compensated for any anti-dilutive adjustments to the ratio. The swaps also require periodic payments from Northern Trust to the counterparty calculated by reference to the market price of Visa Class A common shares and a fixed rate of interest. The fair value of the swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement are Northern Trust’s own assumptions about estimated changes in the conversion rate of the Visa Class B common shares into Visa Class A common shares, the date on which such conversion is expected to occur and the estimated growth rate of the Visa Class A common share price. See “Visa Class B Common Shares” under Note ~~21 – “Contingent Liabilities”~~20 — Contingent Liabilities for further information.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Northern Trust believes its valuation methods for its assets and liabilities carried at fair value are appropriate; however, the use of different methodologies or assumptions, particularly as applied to Level 3 assets and liabilities, could have a material effect on the computation of their estimated fair values.

Carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis may be adjusted to fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition, for example, to record an impairment of an asset. GAAP requires entities to separately disclose these subsequent fair value measurements and to classify them under the fair value hierarchy.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ all of which were categorized as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy, were comprised of ~~impaired~~nonaccrual loans whose values were based on real estate and other available collateral, and of other real estate owned (OREO) properties.

Fair values of real estate loan collateral were estimated using a market approach typically supported by third-party valuations and property-specific fees and ~~taxes, and~~taxes. The fair values of real estate loan collateral were subject to adjustments to reflect management’s judgment as to realizable ~~value.~~value and consisted of discount factors ranging from 15.0% to 20.0% with a weighted average based on fair values of 15.4% and 15.3% as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Other loan collateral, which typically consists of accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, is valued using a market approach adjusted for asset-specific characteristics and in limited instances third-party valuations are used. OREO assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell, with fair value typically based on third-party appraisals.

Collateral-based ~~impaired~~nonaccrual loans that have been adjusted to fair value totaled ~~$27.3~~$12.9 million and $8.0 million at ~~June 30, 2019. Collateral-based impaired loans~~March 31, 2020 and OREO assets that have been adjusted to fair value totaled $13.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, at June 30, 2018.

Unrealized losses on these CRA-related securities were attributable to yields that were below market rates for the purpose of supporting institutions and programs that benefit low- to moderate- income communities within Northern Trust’s market area. The remaining unrealized losses on Northern Trust’s debt securities available for sale portfolio as of ~~June 30, 2019 were~~March 31, 2020, are attributable to changes in overall market interest rates, ~~increased~~ credit spreads or reduced market liquidity.

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, Northern Trust did not intend to sell any ~~investment~~debt securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position and it was more likely than not that Northern Trust would not be required to sell any such investment before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

~~Security~~Debt securities available for sale impairment reviews are conducted quarterly to identify and evaluate securities that have indications of possible ~~OTTI.~~credit losses. A determination as to whether a security’s decline in market value is ~~other-than-temporary~~related to credit impairment takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can vary by security. Factors Northern Trust considers in determining whether impairment is ~~other-than-temporary~~credit related include, but are not limited ~~to: the length of time the security has been impaired;~~to, the severity of the impairment; the cause of the impairment and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; activity in the market of the issuer, which may indicate adverse credit conditions; Northern Trust’s intent regarding the sale of the security as of the balance sheet date; and the likelihood that itNorthern Trust will not be required to sell the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. For each security meeting the requirements of Northern Trust’s internal screening process, an extensive review is conducted to determine if ~~OTTI~~a credit loss has occurred.

Note 5 – Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financings and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were sold plus accrued interest. To minimize any potential credit risk associated with these transactions, the fair value of the securities sold is monitored, limits are set on exposure with counterparties, and the financial condition of counterparties is regularly assessed. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are held by the counterparty until the repurchase.

Note 6 – Loans and Leases

Amounts outstanding for loans and leases, by segment and class, are shown ~~below.~~in the following table. During the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation implemented a change in the classification of certain loans and leases to specific segments to enhance the consistency of its reporting across various regulatory regimes. As a result, the loan and lease balances as of December 31, 2019 below have been adjusted to conform to the presentation for periods ended after such date. The adjustments generally reflected reclassification of loans from the commercial real estate class to commercial and institutional, residential real estate, and private client classes. There was no impact on total loans and leases previously reported.

Credit Quality Indicators. Credit quality indicators are statistics, measurements or other metrics that provide information regarding the relative credit risk of loans and leases. Northern Trust utilizes a variety of credit quality indicators to assess the credit risk of loans and leases at the segment, class, and individual credit exposure levels.

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

As part of its credit process, Northern Trust utilizes an internal borrower risk rating system to support identification, approval, and monitoring of credit risk. Borrower risk ratings are used in credit underwriting and management ~~reporting and the calculation of credit loss allowances and economic capital.~~

reporting. Risk ratings are used for ranking the credit risk of borrowers and the probability of their default. Each borrower is rated using one of a number of ratings models, ~~or other subjective assessment methodologies,~~ which consider both quantitative and qualitative factors. The ratings models vary among classes of loans and leases in order to capture the unique risk characteristics inherent within each particular type of credit exposure. Provided below are the more significant performance indicator attributes considered within Northern Trust’s borrower rating models, by loan and lease class.

Commercial and Institutional: leverage, profit margin, liquidity, asset size and capital levels;

Commercial Real Estate: debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio, leasing status and guarantor support;

Lease Financing and Commercial-Other: leverage, profit margin, liquidity, asset size and capital levels;

Non-U.S.: leverage, profit margin, liquidity, return on assets and capital levels;

Residential Real Estate: payment history, credit bureau scores and loan-to-value ratio;

Private Client: cash-flow-to-debt and net worth ratios, leverage and liquidity; and

Personal-Other: cash-flow-to-debt and net worth ratios.

While the criteria vary by model, the objective is for the borrower ratings to be consistent in both the measurement and ranking of risk. Each model is calibrated to a master rating scale to support this consistency. Ratings for borrowers not in default range from “1” for the strongest credits to “7” for the weakest non-defaulted credits. Ratings of “8” or “9” are used for defaulted borrowers. Borrower risk ratings are monitored and are revised when events or circumstances indicate a change is required. Risk ratings are generally validated at least annually.

Loan and lease segment and class balances as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are provided in the following table, segregated by borrower ratings into “1 to 3,” “4 to 5” and “6 to 9” (watch list and nonaccrual status) categories by year of origination at amortized cost basis.

Loans and leases in the “1 to 3” category are expected to exhibit minimal to modest probabilities of default and are characterized by borrowers having the strongest financial qualities, including above average financial flexibility, cash flows and capital levels. Borrowers assigned these ratings are anticipated to experience very little to moderate financial pressure in adverse ~~down cycle~~down-cycle scenarios. As a result of these characteristics, borrowers within this category exhibit a minimal to modest likelihood of loss.

Loans and leases in the “4 to 5” category are expected to exhibit moderate to acceptable probabilities of default and are characterized by borrowers with less financial flexibility than those in the “1 to 3” category. Cash flows and capital levels are generally sufficient to allow for borrowers to meet current requirements, but have fewer financial resources to manage through economic downturns. As a result of these characteristics, borrowers within this category exhibit a moderate likelihood of loss.

Loans and leases in the watch list category have elevated credit risk profiles that are monitored through internal watch lists, and consist of credits with borrower ratings of “6 to 9.” These credits, which include all ~~nonperforming~~nonaccrual credits, are expected to exhibit minimally acceptable probabilities of default, elevated risk of default, or are currently in default. Borrowers associated with these risk profiles that are not currently in default have limited financial flexibility. Cash flows and capital levels range from acceptable to potentially insufficient to meet current requirements, particularly in adverse down cycle scenarios. As a result of these characteristics, borrowers in this category exhibit an elevated to probable likelihood of loss.

For credit quality indicator information that was required under the former provisions of Accounting Standards Code (ASC) Topic 310, please refer to Note 6 — Loans and Leases of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recognition of Income. Interest income on loans and leases is recorded on an accrual basis unless, in the opinion of management, there is a question as to the ability of the debtor to meet the terms of the loan agreement, or interest or principal is more than 90 days contractually past due and the loan is not well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans meeting such criteria are classified as ~~nonperforming~~nonaccrual and interest income is recorded on a cash basis. At the time a loan is determined to be ~~nonperforming,~~nonaccrual, interest

accrued but not collected is reversed against interest income in the current period. Interest collected on ~~nonperforming~~nonaccrual loans is applied to principal unless, in the opinion of management, collectability of principal is not in doubt. Management’s assessment of the indicators of loan and lease collectability, and its policies relative to the recognition of interest income, including the suspension and subsequent resumption of income recognition, do not meaningfully vary between loan and lease classes. ~~Nonperforming~~Nonaccrual loans are returned to ~~performing~~accrual status when factors indicating doubtful collectability no longer exist. Factors considered in returning a loan to ~~performing~~accrual status are consistent across all classes of loans and leases and, in accordance with regulatory guidance, relate primarily to expected payment performance. Loans are eligible to be returned to ~~performing~~accrual status when: (i) no principal or interest that is due is unpaid and repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest is expected or (ii) the loan has otherwise become well-secured (possessing realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt, including accrued interest, in full) and is in the process of collection (through action reasonably expected to result in debt repayment or restoration to a current status in the near future). A loan that has not been brought fully current may be restored to ~~performing~~accrual status provided there has been a sustained

period of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six ~~months)~~payment periods) by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms, and Northern Trust is reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period of time. Additionally, a loan that has been formally restructured so as to be reasonably assured of repayment and performance according to its modified terms may be returned to accrual status, provided there was a well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects of repayment under the revised terms and there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six ~~months)~~payment periods) under the revised terms.

Past due status is based on how long since the contractual due date a principal or interest payment has been past due.

~~Impaired Loans.~~A loan ~~is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, management determines~~ that it is probable that Northern Trust will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are identified through ongoing credit management and risk rating processes, including the formal review of past due and watch list credits. Payment performance and delinquency status are critical factors in identifying impairment for all loans and leases, particularly those within the residential real estate, private client and personal-other classes. Other key factors considered in identifying impairment of loans and leases within the commercial and institutional, lease financing, net, non-U.S., and commercial-other classes relate to the borrower’s ability to perform under the terms of the obligation as measured through the assessment of future cash flows, including consideration of collateral value, market value, and other factors. A loan is also considered to be impaired if its terms havehas been modified as a concession by Northern Trust or a bankruptcy court resulting from the debtor’s financial difficulties is referred to as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). All TDRs are reported as ~~impaired loans~~TDRs starting in the calendar year of their restructuring. In subsequent years, a TDR may cease being reported as ~~impaired~~a TDR if the loan was modified at a market rate and has performed according to the modified terms for at least six payment periods. A loan that has been modified at a below market rate will return to ~~performing~~accrual status if it satisfies the ~~six payment periods~~six-payment-period performance ~~requirement; however, it will remain reported as impaired. Impairment~~requirement.

The expected credit loss is measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the ~~loan's original~~ effective interest rate based on the original contractual rate. If a loan’s contractual interest rate varies based on subsequent changes in an independent factor, such as an index or rate, the loan’s effective interest rate is calculated based on the factor as it changes over the life of the loan. Northern Trust elected not to project changes in the factor for purposes of estimating expected future cash flows. Further, Northern Trust elected not to adjust the effective interest rate for prepayments. If the loan is collateral dependent, the expected loss is measured based on the fair value of the collateral ifat the ~~loan is collateral dependent, or the loan's observable market value.~~ reporting date.

If the loan valuation is less than the recorded value of the loan, ~~based on the certainty of loss,~~ either ~~a specific~~an allowance is established, or a charge-off is recorded, for the difference. Smaller balance (individually less than $1 million) homogeneous loans are collectively ~~evaluated for impairment and excluded from impaired loan disclosures as allowed under applicable accounting standards.~~evaluated. Northern Trust’s accounting policies for material ~~impaired~~nonaccrual loans is consistent across all classes of loans and leases.

All loans and leases with TDR modifications are evaluated for additional expected credit losses. The nature and extent of further deterioration in credit quality, including a subsequent default, is considered in the determination of an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses.

Included within nonaccrual loans were $73.4 million and $54.9 million of nonaccrual TDRs, and $22.6 million and $27.7 million of accrual TDRs as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

There were $11.7 million and $8.2 million of aggregate undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, issued to borrowers with TDR modifications of loans.

There were $9.2 million and $12.6 million of aggregate undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, issued to borrowers whose loans were classified as nonperforming or impaired.

~~Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs).~~ Included within impaired loans were $67.3 million and $64.6 million of nonperforming TDRs, and $27.9 million and $35.2 million of performing TDRs as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. All TDRs are reported as impaired loans in the calendar year of their restructuring. In subsequent years, a TDR may cease being reported as impaired if the loan was modified at a market rate and has performed according to the modified terms for at least six

Collateral Dependent Financial Assets. A financial asset is collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. Most of Northern Trust’s collateral dependent credit exposure relates to its residential real estate portfolio for which the collateral is usually the underlying real estate property. For collateral dependent financial assets, it is Northern Trust’s policy to reserve or charge-off the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the value of the collateral. The collateral dependent financial asset balance as of March 31, 2020 was immaterial to Northern Trust’s financial statements.

Note 7 – Allowance for Credit Losses

During the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation implemented a change in the classification of certain loans and leases to specific segments to enhance the consistency of its reporting across various regulatory regimes. The allowance for credit losses as of and prior to December 31, 2019 remains unadjusted, as the impact of the reclassification on the allowance was immaterial.

An opening balance sheet adjustment related to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $13.7 million, with a corresponding adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $10.1 million, net of tax.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses.The allowance for credit losses — which represents management’s estimate of ~~probable~~lifetime expected credit losses related to various portfolios subject to credit risk, off-balance-sheet credit exposure, and specific borrower relationships ~~and inherent in the various loan and lease portfolios, undrawn commitments, and standby letters of credit,~~— is determined by management through a disciplined credit review process. Northern ~~Trust’s accounting policies~~Trust measures expected credit losses of financial assets with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. A financial asset is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets and the related ~~to the estimation~~allowance is determined through an individual evaluation.

Management’s estimates utilized in establishing an appropriate level of ~~the~~ allowance for credit losses are not dependent on any single assumption. In determining an appropriate allowance level, management evaluates numerous variables, many of which are interrelated or dependent on other assumptions and ~~the charging off of loans, leases~~estimates, and ~~other extensions of credit deemed uncollectible are consistent across both loan~~takes into consideration past events, current conditions and ~~lease segments.~~reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Loans, leases and other extensions of credit deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Determinations as to whether an uncollectible loan is charged-off or a specific allowance is established are based on management’s assessment as to the level of certainty regarding the amount of loss.

The following table provides information regarding changes in the total allowance for credit losses ~~by segment~~ during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019.

The provision for credit losses is the charge to current period earnings that is determined by management, through a disciplined credit review process, to be the amount needed to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level to absorb lifetime expected credit losses related to financial assets in scope. Actual losses may vary from current estimates and the amount of the provision for credit losses may be either greater than or less than actual net charge-offs.

There was a $61.0 million provision for credit losses in the current quarter, as compared to no provision in the prior-year quarter. The provision for credit losses, excluding available for sale securities, was a provision of $60.8 million. There were net charge-offs of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to net recoveries of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The provision in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by current and projected economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts, with the largest increase in the commercial and institutional and commercial real estate portfolios.

Forecasting and Reversion. Estimating expected lifetime credit losses requires the consideration of the effect of future economic conditions. Northern Trust employs multiple scenarios over a reasonable and supportable period (currently two years) to project future conditions. Management determines the probability weights assigned to each scenario at each quarter-end. Key variables determined to be relevant for projecting credit losses on the portfolios in scope include macroeconomic factors, such as corporate profits, unemployment, and real estate price indices, as well as financial market factors such as equity prices, volatility, and credit spreads. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable period, Northern Trust reverts to its own historical loss experiences on a straight-line basis over four quarters.

Contractual Term.Northern Trust estimates expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial assets adjusted for prepayments, unless prepayments are not relevant to specific portfolios or sub-portfolios. Extension and renewal options are typically not considered since it is not Northern Trust’s practice to enter into arrangements where the borrower has the unconditional option to renew, or a conditional extension option whereby the conditions are beyond Northern Trust’s control.

Accrued Interest. Accrued interest balances are reported within Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Northern Trust elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables related to its loan and securities portfolio as its policy is to write-off uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances in a timely manner. Accrued interest is written off by reversing interest income during the quarter the financial asset is moved from an accrual to a nonaccrual status.

The following table provides the amount of accrued interest excluded from the amortized cost basis of the following portfolios.

The portion of the allowance attributable to loans and leases increased from $102.3 million at January 1, 2020 to $147.2 million at March 31, 2020. The portion of the allowance attributable to undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit increased from $28.8 million at January 1, 2020 to $40.4 million at March 31, 2020. The increase to the allowance for both loans and leases and undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by current and projected economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts, with the largest increase in the commercial and institutional and commercial real estate portfolios.

Allowance Related to Credit Exposure Evaluated on a Collective Level. Expected credit losses are measured on a collective basis as long as the financial assets included in the respective pool share similar risk characteristics. If financial assets are deemed to not share similar risk characteristics, an individual assessment is warranted.

The allowance estimation methodology for the collective assessment of Northern Trust’s loan and lease portfolio and undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit is mostly based on internally developed loss dataspecific to the Northern Trust loan and lease portfolio. The estimation methodology and the related qualitative adjustment framework segregate the loan and lease portfolio into homogenous segments based on similar risk characteristics or risk monitoring methods.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

adjustment framework, through which management applies judgment by assessing internal risk factors, potential limitations in the quantitative methodology, and environmental factors that are not fully contemplated in the forecast to compute an adjustment to the quantitative allowance for each segment of the loan portfolio.

Allowance Related to Credit Exposure Evaluated on an Individual Level. The allowance is determined through an individual evaluation of loans, leases, and lending-related commitments considered impaired that is based on expected future cash flows, the value of collateral, and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. For impaired loans for which the amount of allowance, if any, is determined based on the value of the underlying real estate collateral, third-party appraisals are typically obtained and utilized by management. These appraisals are generally less than twelve months old and are subject to adjustments to reflect management’s judgment as to the realizable value of the collateral.

For purposes of ~~non-cancelable operating leases, primarily~~estimating the allowance for ~~real estate. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses~~credit losses for undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit, the exposure at default includes an estimated drawdown of unused credit based on ~~market indices, renewal option clauses calling for increased rentals, and rental payments based on usage.

Prior to the adoption of ~~Accounting Standards Code (ASC) Topic 842,~~ASU 2016-13, Northern Trust ~~has elected not to restate comparative periods in~~recognized $4.4 million of cumulative Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment (OTTI) losses on the ~~period of adoption. Therefore, disclosure with respect to minimum annual lease commitments~~debt securities classified as other as of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019. For debt securities with previous OTTI losses recorded, Northern Trust applied ASU 2016-13 on a prospective basis whereby the amortized cost basis of the impaired security remains unchanged immediately before and after adopting ASU 2016-13. The allowance recorded at January 1, 2020 for debt securities held to maturity equals the difference between the calculated expected loss and the amount of OTTI loss previously recorded and represents the cumulative effect adjustment required upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13.

The portion of the allowance attributable to debt securities held to maturity was $9.5 million at March 31, 2020 as compared to $6.6 million as of January 1, 2020. The increase to the allowance was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by current and projected economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts.

The allowance for credit losses for Northern Trust’s debt securities held to maturity portfolio is evaluated as follows:

Debt securities held to maturity classified as U.S. government, government sponsored agency, and certain securities classified as obligations of states and political subdivisions are considered to be guarantees of the U.S. government or an agency of the U.S. government and therefore an allowance for credit losses is not estimated for such investments as the expected probability of non-payment of the amortized cost basis is zero.

Debt securities held to maturity classified as other asset-backed represent pools of underlying receivables from which the cash flows are used to pay the bonds that vary in seniority. Utilizing a qualitative estimation approach, the allowance for other asset-backed securities is assessed by evaluating underlying pool performance based on delinquency rates and available credit support.

Debt securities held to maturity classified as other relates to investments purchased by Northern Trust to fulfill its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Northern Trust fulfills its obligations under the CRA by making qualified investments for purposes of supporting institutions and programs that benefit low-to-moderate income communities within Northern Trust’s market area. The allowance for CRA investments is assessed using a qualitative estimation approach primarily based on internal historical performance experience and default history of the underlying CRA portfolios to determine a quantitative component of the allowance.

The allowance estimation methodology for all ~~non-cancelable operating leases~~other debt securities held to maturity is developed using a combination of external and internal data. The estimation methodology groups securities with shared characteristics for which the probability of default and the loss given default are applied to the total exposure at default to determine a ~~term~~quantitative component of ~~one year or more~~the allowance.

The allowance assigned to the debt securities held to maturity portfolio is ~~provided~~reported as a contra asset in Allowance for Credit Losses on the ~~table below,~~consolidated balance sheets.

Allowance for Other Financial Assets. The allowance for Other Financial Assets consists of the allowance for Cash and Due from Banks, Other Central Bank Deposits, Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks, Federal Funds Sold, and Other Assets.The Other Assets category includes other miscellaneous credit exposures reported in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance estimation methodology for Other Financial Assets primarily utilizes a similar approach as ~~required by ASC Topic 840.~~used for the Debt Securities

Note 1514 – Revenue from Contracts with Clients

Trust, Investment, and Other Servicing Fees. Custody and fund administration income is comprised of revenues received from our core asset servicing business for providing custody, fund administration, and middle-office-related services, primarily to C&IS clients. Investment management and advisory income contains revenue received from providing asset management and related services to Wealth Management and C&IS clients and to Northern Trust sponsored funds. Securities lending income represents revenues generated from securities lending arrangements that Northern Trust enters into as agent, mainly with C&IS clients. Other income largely consists of revenues received from providing employee benefit, investment risk and analytic and other services to C&IS and Wealth Management clients.

Other Noninterest Income. Treasury management income represents revenues received from providing cash and liquidity management services to C&IS and Wealth Management clients. The portion of securities commissions and trading income that relates to revenue from contracts with clients is primarily comprised of commissions earned from providing securities brokerage services to Wealth Management and C&IS clients. The portion of other operating income that relates to revenue from contracts with clients is mainly comprised of service fees for banking-related services provided to Wealth Management and C&IS clients.

Performance Obligations. Clients are typically charged monthly or quarterly in arrears based on the fee arrangement agreed to with each client; payment terms will vary depending on the client and services offered.

Substantially all revenues generated from contracts with clients for asset servicing, asset management, securities lending, treasury management and banking-related services are recognized on an accrual basis, over the period in which services are provided. The nature of Northern Trust’s performance obligations is to provide a series of distinct services in which the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the promised services as they are performed. Fee arrangements are mainly comprised of variable amounts based on market value of client assets managed and serviced, transaction volumes, number of accounts, and securities lending volume and spreads. Revenue is recognized using the output method in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Northern Trust expects to be entitled in exchange for providing each month or quarter of service. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on the price agreed to with the client, representing its relative standalone selling price.

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)~~

Security brokerage revenue is primarily represented by securities commissions received in exchange of providing trade execution related services. Control is transferred at a point in time, on the trade date of the transaction, and fees are typically variable based on transaction volumes and security types.

Northern Trust’s contracts with its clients are typically open-ended ~~arrangements. Northern Trust has elected~~arrangements and are therefore considered to ~~apply the practical expedient for disclosure requirements allowed in ASU 2014-09 for performance obligations that are included in contracts with~~have an original duration of less than one year. Northern Trust has elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

Note 1918 – Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Northern Trust Corporation 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options; tandem and free-standing stock appreciation rights; stock awards in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock awards; and performance awards.

Beginning with the grants made on February 21, 2017 under the Corporation’s prior equity incentive plan, restricted stock unit and performance stock unit grants continue to vest in accordance with the original terms of the award if the applicable employee retires after satisfying applicable age and service requirements. For all applicable periods, stock option grants continue to vest in accordance with the original terms of the award if the ~~applicable~~ employee ~~retires after satisfying~~meets applicable age and service ~~requirements.~~requirements upon separation from service.

~~For~~The Corporation granted 763,554 stock units awards with a total grant-date fair value of $76.2 million during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019, there was no compensation~~March 31, 2020, compared to 798,669 stock units awards with a total grant-date fair value of $73.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Compensation expense ~~and $9.2~~for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included $23.2 million ~~of compensation expense, respectively,~~ attributable to ~~performance~~restricted stock units granted to retirement-eligible employees ~~in 2019~~ that were expensed in their entirety on the date of grant, ~~as there was~~compared to $21.2 million in the prior-year quarter.

There were no ~~requisite service period associated~~non-qualified stock option grants in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Corporation granted 205,847 performance stock units with a total grant-date fair value of $20.8 million during the ~~grant.~~three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 211,269 performance stock units with a total grant-date fair value of $19.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Note 2019 – Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) are defined within GAAP as entities which either have a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Investors that finance a VIE through debt or equity interests, or other counterparties that provide other forms of support, such as guarantees, subordinated fee arrangements, or certain types of derivative contracts, are variable interest holders in the entity and the variable interest holder, if any, that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity and a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the entity is deemed to be the VIE’s primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE.

Leveraged Leases. In leveraged leasing transactions, Northern Trust acts as lessor of the underlying asset subject to the lease and typically funds 20 - 30% of the asset’s cost via an equity ownership in a trust with the remaining 70 - 80% provided by third-party non-recourse debt holders. In such transactions, the trusts, which are VIEs, are created to provide the lessee use of the property with substantially all of the rights and obligations of ownership. The lessee’s maintenance and operation of the leased property has a direct effect on the fair value of the underlying property, and the lessee also has the ability to increase the benefits it can receive and limit the losses it can suffer by the manner in which it uses the property. As a result, Northern Trust has determined

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

that it is not the primary beneficiary of the leveraged lease trust VIEs given it lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the leveraged lease trust VIEs.

Northern Trust’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with leveraged lease trust VIEs is limited to the carrying amounts of its leveraged lease investments. The carrying amounts of these investments, which are included in ~~loans~~Loans and ~~leases in~~Leases on the consolidated balance sheets, were ~~$56.8~~$42.8 million and $42.6 million as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, respectively. Northern Trust’s funding requirements relative to the leveraged lease trust VIEs are limited to its invested capital. Northern Trust has no0 other liquidity arrangements or obligations to purchase assets of the leveraged lease trust VIEs that would expose Northern Trust to a loss.

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)~~

Tax Credit Structures. Northern Trust invests in qualified affordable housing projects and community development entities (collectively, community development projects) that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of tax credits. The community development projects are formed as limited partnerships and limited liability companies in which Northern Trust invests as a limited partner/investor member through equity contributions. The economic performance of the community development projects, some of which are VIEs, is subject to the performance of their underlying investment and their ability to operate in compliance with the rules and regulations necessary for the qualification of tax credits generated by equity investments. Northern Trust has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any community development project VIEs as it lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the underlying investments or to affect their ability to operate in compliance with the rules and regulations necessary for the qualification of tax credits generated by equity investments. This power is held by the general partners and managing members who exercise full and exclusive control of the operations of the community development project VIEs.

Northern Trust’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with community development projects is limited to the carrying amounts of its investments, including any undrawn commitments. As of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the carrying amounts of these investments in community development projects that generate tax credits, included in Other Assets inon the consolidated balance sheets, totaled ~~$589.9~~$746.2 million and ~~$602.4~~$749.3 million, respectively, of which ~~$539.0~~$697.8 million and ~~$549.8~~$700.3 million are VIEs as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. As of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, liabilities related to unfunded commitments on investments in tax credit community development projects, included in Other Liabilities inon the consolidated balance sheets, totaled ~~$291.0~~$362.7 million and ~~$321.0~~$376.2 million, respectively, of which ~~$254.8~~$342.5 million and ~~$279.5~~$354.3 million, related to undrawn commitments on VIEs as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. Northern Trust’s funding requirements are limited to its invested capital and undrawn commitments for future equity contributions. Northern Trust has no0 exposure to loss from liquidity arrangements and no obligation to purchase assets of the community development projects.

Tax credits and other tax benefits attributable to community development projects totaled ~~$16.4~~$16.3 million and ~~$14.8~~$16.4 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018, respectively, and $32.7 million and $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively.

Investment Funds. Northern Trust acts as asset manager for various funds in which clients of Northern Trust are investors. As an asset manager of funds, Northern Trust earns a competitively priced fee that is based on assets managed and varies with each fund’s investment objective. Based on its analysis, Northern Trust has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under GAAP.

Periodically, Northern Trust makes seed capital investments to certain funds. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, Northern Trust had ~~$25.1~~$100.0 million of investments valued using net asset value per share and included in Other Assets and had no$74.6 million in unfunded commitments related to seed capital investments. As of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, Northern Trust had ~~$29.2~~$112.0 million of investments valued using net asset value per share and included in Other Assets and had no0 unfunded commitments related to seed capital investments.

Note 2120 – Contingent Liabilities

Commitments, Letters of Credit and Indemnifications. Northern Trust, in the normal course of business, enters into various types of commitments and issues letters of credit to meet the liquidity and credit enhancement needs of its clients.

Legally binding commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since a significant portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future loans or liquidity requirements. Legally binding commitments to extend credit totaled ~~$24.4~~$21.2 billion and ~~$25.0~~$24.4 billion as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

Standby letters of credit obligate Northern Trust to meet certain financial obligations of its clients, if, under the contractual terms of the agreement, the clients are unable to do so. These instruments are primarily issued to support public and private financial commitments, including commercial paper, bond financing, initial margin requirements on futures exchanges and similar

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

transactions. Northern Trust is obligated to meet the entire financial obligation of these agreements and in certain cases is able to recover the amounts paid through recourse against collateral received or other participants. Standby letters of credit outstanding and financial guarantees were ~~$2.3 billion and $2.5~~$2.4 billion as of ~~June 30, 2019~~both March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018, respectively.~~2019. Financial guarantees are issued by Northern Trust to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party under certain arrangements.

As part of its securities custody activities and at the direction of its clients, Northern Trust lends securities owned by clients to borrowers who are reviewed and approved by the Northern Trust ~~Counterparty Risk Management~~Capital Markets Credit Committee. In connection with these activities, Northern Trust has issued indemnifications to certain clients against certain losses that are a direct result of a borrower’s failure to return securities when due, should the value of such securities exceed the value of the collateral required to

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)~~

be posted. Borrowers are required to collateralize fully securities received with cash or marketable securities. As securities are loaned, collateral is maintained at a minimum of 100% of the fair value of the securities plus accrued interest. The collateral is revalued on a daily basis. The amount of securities loaned as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 subject to indemnification was ~~$140.0~~$139.1 billion and ~~$128.9~~$138.1 billion, respectively. Because of the credit quality of the borrowers and the requirement to fully collateralize ~~fully~~ securities borrowed, management believes that the exposure to credit loss from this activity is not significant and no0 liability was recorded as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 or December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, related to these indemnifications.

Legal Proceedings. In the normal course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to pending and threatened legal actions, and are subject to regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, investigations, and proceedings, both formal and informal. In certain legal actions, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted. In regulatory matters, claims for disgorgement, restitution, penalties and/or other remedial actions or sanctions may be sought.

Based on current knowledge, after consultation with legal counsel and after taking into account current accruals, management does not believe that losses, fines or penalties, if any, arising from pending litigation or threatened legal actions or regulatory matters either individually or in the aggregate, after giving effect to applicable reserves and insurance coverage will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Corporation, although such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s operating results for a particular period.

Under GAAP, (i) an event is “probable” if the “future event or events are likely to occur”; (ii) an event is “reasonably possible” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely”; and (iii) an event is “remote” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight.”

The outcome of litigation and regulatory matters is inherently difficult to predict and/or the range of loss often cannot be reasonably estimated, particularly for matters that (i) will be decided by a jury, (ii) are in early stages, (iii) involve uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class, (iv) are subject to appeals or motions, (v) involve significant factual issues to be resolved, including with respect to the amount of damages, (vi) do not specify the amount of damages sought or (vii) seek very large damages based on novel and complex damage and liability legal theories. Accordingly, the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate the eventual outcome of these pending matters, the timing of their ultimate resolution or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties, if any, related to each pending matter will be.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Corporation records accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. When loss contingencies are not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Corporation does not record accruals. NoNaN material accruals have been recorded for pending litigation or threatened legal actions or regulatory matters.

For a limited number of matters for which a loss is reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of an accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Corporation is able to estimate a range of possible loss. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Corporation has estimated the range of reasonably possible loss for these matters to be from ~~zero~~0 to approximately ~~$25~~$20 million in the aggregate. The Corporation’s estimate with respect to the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

In certain other pending matters, there may be a range of reasonably possible loss (including reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued) that cannot be reasonably estimated for the reasons described above. Such matters are not included in the estimated range of reasonably possible loss discussed above.

In 2015, Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Guernsey) Limited (NTFS), an indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, was charged by a French investigating magistrate judge with complicity in estate tax fraud in connection with the administration of ~~two~~2 trusts

for which it serves as trustee. Charges also were brought against a number of other persons and entities related to this matter. In 2017, a French court found no estate tax fraud had occurred and NTFS and all other persons and entities charged were acquitted. The Public Prosecutor’s Office of France appealed the court decision and in June 2018 a French appellate court issued its opinion on the matter, acquitting all persons and entities charged, including NTFS. The Public Prosecutor’s Office of France has appealed the appellate court’s decision to the Cour de Cassation, the highest court in France. As trustee, NTFS provided no tax advice and had no involvement in the preparation or filing of the challenged estate tax filings.

In the first quarter of 2018, Northern Trust received a document request from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Division of Enforcement, seeking the production of documents related to the Bank’s activities as a swap dealer provisionally registered with the CFTC. In addition, the National Futures Association (NFA) provided the Bank with a letter dated April 30,

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)~~

2018, summarizing certain findings related to the Bank’s swap dealer compliance program identified during a then-recently completed examination. Northern Trust is cooperating with both the NFA and CFTC and working to address and resolve certain findings related to these matters.

Visa Class B Common Shares. Northern Trust, as a member of Visa U.S.A. Inc. (Visa U.S.A.) and in connection with the 2007 restructuring of Visa U.S.A. and its affiliates and the 2008 initial public offering of Visa Inc. (Visa), received certain Visa Class B common shares. The Visa Class B common shares are subject to certain selling restrictions until the final resolution of certain litigation related to interchange fees involving Visa (the covered litigation), at which time the shares are convertible into Visa Class A common shares based on a conversion rate dependent upon the ultimate cost of resolving the covered litigation. On June 28, 2018, and September 27, 2019, Visa deposited an additional $600 million and $300 million, respectively, into ~~the~~an escrow account previously established with respect to the covered litigation. As a result of the additional contributions to the escrow account, the rate at which Visa Class B common shares will convert into Visa Class A common shares was reduced.

In September 2018, Visa ~~announced that~~reached a proposed class settlement agreement covering damage claims but not injunctive relief claims regarding the covered ~~litigation was reached, with Visa’s share~~litigation. In December 2019, the district court granted final approval for the proposed class settlement agreement. Certain merchants have opted out of the ~~proposed~~class settlement ~~amount to be satisfied through funds previously deposited with~~and are pursuing claims separately, while other merchants have appealed the ~~court and the $600 million placed into escrow in June 2018. The agreement has been preliminarily approved~~approval order granted by the district court, and, if final approval is granted, objecting parties may appeal. Further, individual merchants may opt out of the proposed settlement and pursue claims separately. For these and other reasons, thecourt. The ultimate resolution of the covered litigation, the timing for removal of the selling restrictions on the Visa Class B common shares and the rate at which such shares will ultimately convert into Visa Class A common shares are uncertain.

In June 2016 and 2015, Northern Trust recorded a $123.1 million and $99.9 million net gain on the sale of 1.1 million and 1.0 million of its Visa Class B common shares, respectively. These sales do not affect Northern Trust’s risk related to the impact of the covered litigation on the rate at which such shares will ultimately convert into Visa Class A common shares. Northern Trust continued to hold approximately 4.1 million Visa Class B common shares, which are recorded at their original cost basis of ~~zero,~~0, as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Note 2221 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Northern Trust is a party to various derivative financial instruments that are used in the normal course of business to meet the needs of its clients, as part of its trading activity for its own account and as part of its risk management activities. These instruments may include foreign exchange contracts, interest rate contracts, total return swap contracts, and swaps related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares.

Foreign exchange contracts are agreements to exchange specific amounts of currencies at a future date, at a specified rate of exchange. Foreign exchange contracts are entered into primarily to meet the foreign exchange needs of clients. Foreign exchange contracts are also used for trading and risk management purposes. For risk management purposes, Northern Trust uses foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates relating to certain forecasted non-functional-currency-denominated revenue and expenditure transactions, foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities, including debt securities, and net investments in non-U.S. affiliates.

Interest rate contracts include swap and option contracts. Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Northern Trust enters into interest rate swap contracts with its clients and also may utilize such contracts to reduce or eliminate the exposure to changes in the cash flows or fair value of hedged assets or liabilities due to changes in interest rates. Interest rate option contracts may include caps, floors, collars and swaptions, and provide for the transfer or reduction of interest rate risk, typically in exchange for a fee. Northern Trust enters into option contracts primarily as a seller of interest rate protection to clients. Northern Trust receives a fee at the outset of the agreement for the assumption of the risk of an unfavorable change in interest rates. This assumed interest rate risk is then mitigated by entering into an offsetting position with an outside counterparty. Northern Trust may also purchase or enter into option contracts for risk management purposes including to reduce the exposure to changes in the cash flows of hedged assets due to changes in interest rates.

Notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent credit risk, and are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. They are used merely to express the volume of this activity. Northern Trust’s credit-related risk of loss is limited to the positive fair value of the derivative instrument, net of any collateral received, which is significantly less than the notional amount.

All derivative financial instruments, whether designated as hedges or not, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value within Other Assets or Other Liabilities. Northern Trust has elected to net derivative assets and liabilities when legally enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements exist between Northern Trust and the counterparty.

Hedging Derivative Instruments Designated under GAAP. Northern Trust uses derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate, and equity price. Certain hedging relationships are formally designated and qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP as fair value, cash flow or net investment hedges. Other derivatives that are entered into for risk management purposes as economic hedges are not formally designated as hedges and changes in fair value are recognized currently in ~~other operating~~Other Operating Income within the consolidated statements of income (see below section “Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging under GAAP”).

In order to qualify for hedge accounting, a formal assessment is performed on a calendar-quarter basis to verify that derivatives used in designated hedging transactions continue to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If a derivative ceases to be highly effective, matures, is sold or is terminated, or if a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is terminated and the derivative is treated as if it were a trading instrument.

Fair Value Hedges. Derivatives are designated as fair value hedges to limit Northern Trust’s exposure to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities due to movements in interest rates. Northern Trust enters into interest rate swaps to hedge changes in fair value of available for sale debt securities and long-term subordinated debt and senior notes. Northern Trust applied the “shortcut”

method of accounting, available under GAAP, which assumes there is perfect effectiveness in a hedge, for all of its fair value hedges during the ~~three- and six- month~~three-month periods ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized currently in earnings within the same income statement line item.

Cash Flow Hedges. Derivatives are also designated as cash flow hedges in order to minimize the variability in cash flows of earning assets or forecasted transactions caused by movements in interest or foreign exchange rates. Northern Trust enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge changes in cash flows due to movements in foreign exchange rates of forecasted foreign- currency-denominated transactions and foreign-currency-denominated debt securities. Northern Trust also enters into interest rate contracts to hedge changes in cash flows due to movements in interest rates of available for sale debt securities. The change in fair value of cash flow hedging derivative instruments are recorded in AOCI and reclassified to earnings when the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings within the same income statement line item.

There were no0 material gains or losses reclassified into earnings during the ~~three~~three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and ~~six months ended June 30,~~ 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ as a result of the discontinuance of forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring. It is estimated that net gains of ~~$4.1~~$2.6 million and ~~less than $0.1~~$16.9 million will be reclassified into net income within the next twelve months relating to cash flow hedges of foreign-currency-denominated transactions and cash flow hedges of foreign-currency-denominated debt securities, respectively. It is estimated that net ~~losses~~gains of ~~$0.3~~$0.4 million will be reclassified into net income upon the receipt of interest payments on earning assets within the next twelve months relating to cash flow hedges of available for sale debt securities. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, 23 months was the maximum length of time over which the exposure to variability in future cash flows of forecasted foreign-currency-denominated transactions was being hedged.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging under GAAP. Northern Trust’s derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging under GAAP include derivatives for purposes of client-related and trading activities, as well as other risk management purposes. These activities consist principally of providing foreign exchange services to clients in connection with Northern Trust’s global custody business. However, in the normal course of business, Northern Trust also engages in trading of currencies for its own account.

Non-designated risk management derivatives include foreign exchange contracts entered into to manage the foreign currency risk of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated assets and liabilities, the net investment in certain non-U.S. affiliates, commercial loans and forecasted foreign-currency-denominated transactions. Swaps related to sales of certain Visa Class B common shares were entered into pursuant to which Northern Trust retains the risks associated with the ultimate conversion of the Visa Class B common shares into Visa Class A common shares. Total return swaps are entered into to manage the equity price risk associated with certain investments.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges under GAAP are recognized currently in income. The following table provides the location and amount of gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of income for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018.~~for derivative instruments not designated as hedges under GAAP.

⁽¹⁾	Derivative liabilities are reported in Other Liabilities inon the consolidated balance sheets. Other Liabilities (excluding derivative liabilities) totaled ~~$2.7~~$3.8 billion and ~~$2.5~~$3.1 billion as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.


⁽²⁾	Including cash collateral deposited with counterparties.


⁽³⁾	Northern Trust did not place any cash collateral with counterparties that was not offset in the consolidated balance sheets that could have been used to offset the net amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

All of Northern Trust’s securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements) involve the transfer of financial assets in exchange for cash subject to a right and obligation to repurchase those assets for an agreed upon amount. In the event of a repurchase failure, the cash or financial assets are available for offset. All of Northern Trust’s repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements are subject to a master netting arrangement, which sets forth the rights and obligations for repurchase and offset. Under the master netting arrangement, Northern Trust is entitled to offset receivables from and collateral placed with a single counterparty against obligations owed to that counterparty. In addition, collateral held by Northern Trust can be offset against receivables from that counterparty. However, Northern Trust’s repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements do not meet the requirements to ~~net.~~

net under GAAP.

Derivative asset and liability positions with a single counterparty can be offset against each other in cases where legally enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements exist. Derivative assets and liabilities can be further offset by cash collateral received from, and deposited with, the transacting counterparty. The basis for this view is that, upon termination of transactions subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement, the individual derivative receivables do not represent resources to which general creditors have rights and individual derivative payables do not represent claims that are equivalent to the claims of general creditors.

Credit risk associated with derivative instruments relates to the failure of the counterparty and the failure of Northern Trust to pay based on the contractual terms of the agreement, and is generally limited to the unrealized fair value gains and losses on these

instruments, net of any collateral received or deposited. The amount of credit risk will increase or decrease during the lives of the instruments as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or equity prices ~~or other underlying exposures~~ fluctuate. Northern Trust’s risk is controlled by limiting such activity to an approved list of counterparties and by subjecting such activity to the same credit and quality controls as are followed in lending and investment activities. Credit Support Annexes and other similar agreements are currently in place with a number of Northern Trust’s counterparties which mitigate the aforementioned credit risk associated with derivative activity conducted with those counterparties by requiring that significant net unrealized fair value gains be supported by collateral placed with Northern Trust.

Additional cash collateral received from and deposited with derivative counterparties totaling ~~$91.2~~$360.7 million and ~~$112.4~~$415.2 million, respectively, as of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and ~~$27.6~~$196.3 million and ~~$91.5~~$2.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, was not offset against derivative assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as the amounts exceeded the net derivative positions with those counterparties.

Certain master netting arrangements Northern Trust enters into with derivative counterparties contain credit-risk-related contingent features in which the counterparty has the option to declare Northern Trust in default and accelerate cash settlement of net derivative liabilities with the counterparty in the event Northern Trust’s credit rating falls below specified levels. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was ~~$162.7~~$935.7 million and ~~$324.1~~$766.2 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. Cash collateral amounts deposited with derivative counterparties on those dates included ~~$147.6~~$922.7 million and ~~$316.5~~$327.1 million, respectively, posted against these liabilities, resulting in a net maximum amount of termination payments that could have been required at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, of ~~$15.1~~$13.0 million and ~~$7.6~~$439.1 million, respectively. Accelerated settlement of these liabilities would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of Northern Trust.

~~Note 24 – Debt Issuance~~

On May 3, 2019, the Corporation issued $500 million of 3.15% senior notes, due May 3, 2029. The senior notes will bear interest from the date they were issued at an annual rate of 3.15%, payable semi-annually in arrears. The senior notes are unsecured and may be redeemed, in whole or in part, on or after February 3, 2029, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Corporation’s management, with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information presented under the caption “Legal Proceedings” in ~~“Note 21~~Note 20 — Contingent ~~Liabilities”~~Liabilities included under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental and societal responses thereto, have had a severe impact on recent global economic and market conditions, including significant disruption of, and volatility in, financial markets; global supply chain disruptions; and the institution of social distancing and shelter-in-place requirements that have resulted in temporary closures of many businesses, lost revenues, and increased unemployment.

These conditions have impacted- or are expected in the future to impact-our business, results of operations, and financial condition negatively, including through lower revenue from certain of our fee-based businesses; lower net interest income resulting from lower interest rates; increased provisions for credit losses; impairments on the securities we hold; and decreased demand for certain of our products and services. Additionally, our liquidity and regulatory capital could be adversely impacted by volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets; volatility in foreign exchange rates; deposit flows; and continued client draws on lines of credit. Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic.

While governmental authorities have taken unprecedented measures to provide economic assistance to individual households and businesses, stabilize the markets, and support economic growth, the success of these measures is unknown and they may not be sufficient to mitigate fully the negative impact of the ongoing pandemic. Further, some measures, such as a suspension of mortgage and other loan payments and foreclosures, may have a negative impact on our business, while our participation in other measures could result in reputational harm, litigation, or regulatory and government actions, proceedings, or penalties.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The ongoing pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
