NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER
NET INCOME OF $392.0 MILLION, EARNINGS PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE OF $1.90
CHICAGO, APRIL 22, 2025 — Northern Trust Corporation today reported first quarter net income per diluted common share of $1.90, compared to $2.26 in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $0.96 in the first quarter of 2024. Net income was $392.0 million, compared to $455.4 million in the prior quarter and $214.7 million in the prior-year quarter.
MICHAEL O’GRADY, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER:
“Northern Trust generated its third consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage in the first quarter of 2025 driven by mid-single digit growth in both trust fees and net interest income relative to the prior year, while effectively managing expenses. EPS excluding prior-year notables increased 13% and we generated a return on common equity of 13%, both while boosting capital levels meaningfully and returning $435 million to shareholders. These results demonstrate the strength of our One Northern Trust strategy and the resilience of our business model.
As we enter the second quarter, we remain well-positioned to navigate a wide range of evolving macroeconomic and market scenarios, allowing us to act as a source of strength for clients, while pressing ahead with our strategic priorities.”

Q1 2025
The provision in the current quarter resulted from an increase in the collective reserve, primarily driven by increased projected macroeconomic uncertainty, partially offset by sector and portfolio-specific improvements within the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) portfolio.
Q4 2024
The negative provision resulted from decreases in both the collective and individual reserves. The decrease in collective reserve was primarily driven by an improvement in credit quality in the Commercial and Institutional (C&I) portfolio. The decrease in individual reserves was driven by the partial charge-off of a C&I loan.
Q1 2024
The negative provision resulted from decreases in both the individual and collective reserves. The decrease in individual reserves was driven by one C&I loan that was subsequently charged-off. The decrease in collective reserve was primarily in the C&I portfolio, driven by improvement in the quality of the portfolio, and in the CRE portfolio, driven by improved macroeconomic factors.

Other Operating Expense decreased compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to a $12.5 million FDIC special assessment recorded in the prior year and lower supplemental compensation plan expense in the current quarter.

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
The following table presents a reconciliation of interest income, net interest income, net interest margin, total revenue, income before taxes, and profit margin (pre-tax) prepared in accordance with GAAP to such measures on an FTE non-GAAP basis. Management believes this presentation facilitates the analysis of asset yields and 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.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
