NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER

NET INCOME OF $464.9 MILLION, EARNINGS PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE OF $2.22

CHICAGO, OCTOBER 23, 2024 — Northern Trust Corporation today reported third quarter net income per diluted common share of $2.22, compared to $4.34 in the second quarter of 2024 and $1.49 in the third quarter of 2023. Net income was $464.9 million, compared to $896.1 million in the prior quarter and $327.8 million in the prior-year quarter.

Third Quarter 2024 results included a $68.1 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of an equity investment (after-tax $51.4 million), recorded in Other Operating Income.

MICHAEL O’GRADY, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER:

“Northern Trust’s third quarter results reflect continued momentum across our businesses. Trust fees increased 8% and net interest income grew 21%, both as compared to the prior-year quarter. Excluding notables, earnings per share grew 32% and we returned more than $450 million to shareholders. Importantly, we generated positive trust fee and total operating leverage while continuing to make significant investments in our businesses and infrastructure.

We proudly celebrated our company’s 135th anniversary during the third quarter. Northern Trust’s core principles of service, expertise, and integrity, upon which our company was founded, still guide us today. As we look forward, we are taking actions to position the firm for higher underlying growth and greater operational efficiency, including the leadership changes we announced last month. We enter the fourth quarter with a strong new business pipeline and our attention squarely focused on serving the evolving needs of our clients.”

Q3 2024

The provision in the current quarter resulted from an increase in both the collective and individual reserves. The increase in collective reserves was primarily driven by a small number of downgrades and extensions in the Commercial and Institutional (C&I) portfolio. The reserve evaluated on a collective basis relates to pooled financial assets sharing similar risk characteristics. The increase in individual reserves was driven by the default of one C&I loan.

Q2 2024

The provision in the prior quarter resulted from an increase in collective reserves. The increase in collective reserves was primarily in the C&I portfolio, driven by modest deterioration in credit quality, and the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) portfolio, driven by expectations for weaker CRE prices.

Q3 2023

The provision in the prior-year quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis, driven by a small number of large new loans and renewals and credit quality deterioration of certain CRE and C&I loans, partially offset by a net improvement in the overall macroeconomic outlook.

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT

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 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.
