CEO Commentary

Fifth Third continued to produce solid financial results in a volatile first quarter of 2022 while fully supporting customers, communities, and employees. We continue to navigate the economic environment with a disciplined approach focused on long-term through-the-cycle outperformance, and remain extremely well positioned to benefit from higher short-term interest rates. We generated strong loan growth during the quarter, including average C&I growth of 8% excluding PPP. Also excluding PPP, net interest income increased 1% sequentially, reflecting the partial impact of our decision to begin growing the securities portfolio.

We had yet another quarter of benign credit quality reflecting our disciplined approach to client selection and underwriting, which resulted in near-record low charge-offs of just 12 basis points. Additionally, commercial criticized assets continued to improve.

Last week, I announced my plans to retire as CEO and transition to Executive Chairman, effective July 5, 2022. As part of our thorough succession planning process, I am excited and proud to announce the Board of Directors has appointed Tim Spence to succeed me as our next CEO. I believe this is the right time for a transition, given Fifth Third’s tremendous financial health and performance. Being the CEO of Fifth Third has been an honor of a lifetime. I am grateful for the hard work, dedication, and support of all our employees over the years. I am also grateful for the confidence the Board and shareholders have had in me throughout my tenure.

Investor contact: Chris Doll (513) 534-2345 | Media contact: Ed Loyd (513) 534-6397 April 19, 2022

(Continued)

Tim is an outstanding and visionary leader. He has been an integral part of Fifth Third's leadership team since 2015, helping develop the strategies and vision that we continue to execute with excellence through innovation and technology. I have no doubt that Tim’s focus on operational discipline will extend our track record for delivering on our commitments to continue generating sustainable, top quartile results among regional banks.

-Greg D. Carmichael, Chairman and CEO

Compared to the prior quarter, NII was stable, as the impacts of lower day count, lower PPP-related income, and a decline in residential mortgage balances (primarily from previous purchases of government guaranteed loan buyouts from a third party) were partially offset by higher commercial & industrial (C&I) loan balances, higher investment portfolio balances, and the impact of higher market rates. PPP-related income was $20 million in the current quarter compared to $36 million in the prior quarter. Excluding the impact of PPP-related income, NII increased $14 million, or 1%, sequentially. Compared to the prior quarter, reported NIM increased 4 bps, primarily due to a decrease in other short-term investments (primarily interest-bearing cash), the impact of lower day count, and higher market rates.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII increased $19 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting higher C&I and indirect secured consumer loan balances, higher investment portfolio balances, and a reduction in long-term debt, partially offset by lower PPP-related income and lower home equity balances. Excluding the impact of PPP-related income, NII increased $52 million, or 5%, year-over-year. Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported NIM decreased 3 bps, primarily reflecting loan spread compression, partially offset by lower other short-term investments (primarily interest-bearing cash) and lower long-term debt and deposit costs.

Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest income excluding certain items decreased $120 million, or 14%. Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest income excluding certain items decreased $50 million, or 7%.

Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits decreased $4 million, or 3%, primarily reflecting a decrease in consumer deposit fees. Commercial banking revenue decreased $36 million, or 21%, primarily driven by lower M&A advisory revenue and loan syndication revenue, partially offset by higher customer financial risk management revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $17 million, or 49%, reflecting a $14 million increase from MSR net valuation adjustments and an $11 million decrease in MSR asset decay reflecting slower prepayment speeds, partially offset by a $12 million decrease in origination fees and gains on loan sales. Wealth and asset management revenue decreased $1 million, or 1%, as the impact of lower market values was mostly offset by seasonally strong tax-related private client service revenue combined with continued asset inflows. Card and processing revenue decreased $7 million, or 7%, primarily driven by seasonally lower spend volume. Leasing business revenue decreased $12 million, or 16%, primarily driven by a decrease in lease remarketing revenue. The decline in other noninterest income was primarily attributable to the prior quarter recognition of tax receivable agreement revenue as well as lower private equity income.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits increased $8 million, or 6%, reflecting an increase in commercial treasury management fees. Commercial banking revenue decreased $18 million, or 12%, primarily driven by decreases in corporate bond fees, partially offset by an increase in customer financial risk management revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $33 million, or 39%, reflecting a $64 million decrease in origination fees and gains on loan sales and a $9 million reduction from MSR net valuation adjustments, partially offset by a $28 million decrease in MSR asset decay reflecting slower prepayment speeds. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $6 million, or 4%, primarily driven by higher personal asset management revenue. Card and processing revenue increased $3 million, or 3%, primarily driven by higher spend volumes, partially offset by higher rewards. Leasing business revenue decreased $25 million, or 29%, primarily reflecting a decrease in lease syndication revenue.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, noninterest expense increased $7 million, or 1%, reflecting an increase in technology and communications expense related to continued modernization investments, and an increase in compensation and benefits expense. These items were partially offset by lower card and processing expense due to contract renegotiations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP measures, management considers various non-GAAP measures when evaluating the performance of the business, including: “net interest income (FTE),” “interest income (FTE),” “net interest margin (FTE),” “net interest rate spread (FTE),” “income before income taxes (FTE),” “tangible net income available to common shareholders,” “average tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity (excluding AOCI),” “tangible common equity (including AOCI),” “tangible equity,” “tangible book value per share,” “tangible book value per share (excluding AOCI),” “adjusted noninterest income,” “noninterest income excluding certain items,” “adjusted noninterest expense,” “noninterest expense excluding certain items,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income", “adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “efficiency ratio (FTE),” “total revenue (FTE),” “noninterest income as a percent of total revenue”, and certain ratios derived from these measures. The Bancorp believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because these are among the measures used by the Fifth Third management team to evaluate operating performance and to make day-to-day operating decisions.

The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and securities held by the Bancorp that are not taxable for federal income tax purposes. The Bancorp believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and net interest margin as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

The Bancorp believes tangible net income available to common shareholders, average tangible common equity, tangible common equity (excluding AOCI), tangible common equity (including AOCI), tangible equity, tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity are important measures for evaluating the performance of the business without the impacts of intangible items, whether acquired or created internally, in a manner comparable to other companies in the industry who present similar measures.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income, noninterest expense, net interest income, net interest margin, pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, noninterest income as a percent of total revenue, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and return on average assets are important measures that adjust for significant, unusual, or large transactions that may occur in a reporting period which management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income excluding certain items and noninterest expense excluding certain items are important measures that adjust for certain components that are prone to significant period-to-period changes in order to facilitate the explanation of variances in the noninterest income and noninterest expense line items.

Management considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity and tangible common equity (including and excluding AOCI), in addition to capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies for both absolute and comparative purposes. These ratios are not formally defined by U.S. GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations and, therefore, are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that providing the tangible common equity ratio excluding AOCI on certain assets and liabilities enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity without the effects of changes in AOCI, some of which are uncertain; providing the tangible common equity ratio including AOCI enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity if components of AOCI, such as unrealized gains or losses, were to be monetized.

Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures.

Please see reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
