FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER NET INCOME

OF $276.1 MILLION, EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE OF $1.09

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE INCREASED 6% OVER THE PRIOR-YEAR QUARTER

RETURN ON AVERAGE COMMON EQUITY OF 11.6%

CHICAGO, APRIL 25, 2017 — Northern Trust Corporation today reported first quarter net income per diluted common share of $1.09, compared to $1.03 in the first quarter of 2016 and $1.11 in the fourth quarter of 2016. Net income was $276.1 million, compared to $245.4 million in the prior-year quarter and $266.5 million in the prior quarter. Return on average common equity was 11.6%.

“Northern Trust's first quarter revenue increased 8% compared to one year ago, reflecting strong growth in trust, investment and other servicing fees and net interest income. Assets under custody/administration and assets under management ended the quarter up 13% and 11%, respectively, compared to a year ago, primarily driven by higher markets and our continued success in winning new business. The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis improved to 1.35% from 1.21% one year ago.

We use our strong capital position to pursue our strategic initiatives that meet our clients' complex financial needs. One recent example is our agreement to acquire UBS Asset Management’s fund administration servicing units in Luxembourg and Switzerland, which will broaden our scale, products and market reach across Europe,” said Frederick H. Waddell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Q1 2017

▪

The credit provision in the current quarter was primarily driven by reductions in outstanding loans and undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit that resulted in a reduction in the inherent allowance ascribed to the private client, residential real estate, and commercial real estate portfolios. The credit provision was partially offset by an increase in specific reserves in the commercial portfolio.

Q4 2016

▪

The credit provision in the prior quarter was primarily driven by improved credit quality in the underlying data used in the quantitative portion of the inherent allowance for credit losses that resulted in a reduction in the allowance ascribed to the residential real estate and private client portfolios, partially offset by an increase to a specific reserve in the commercial portfolio that was charged-off during the quarter.

Q1 2016


▪	The provision in the prior-year quarter was driven by growth in outstanding loans that resulted in an increase in the allowance ascribed to the commercial real estate portfolio.

Q1 2017 vs. Q4 2016

▪

Compensation expense increased compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher expense related to long-term performance-based incentive compensation and higher salary expense, partially offset by decreases in cash-based incentive accruals. Long-term performance based incentive expense increased $35.4 million primarily due to a change in the vesting provisions associated with long-term incentive grants to retirement-eligible employees. The increase in salary expense was driven by staff growth.

▪	Equipment and software expense increased compared to the prior quarter, primarily reflecting increased software amortization and software support and rental costs.


▪	Other operating expense decreased compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to lower business promotion, advertising, and staff related expenses.

Q1 2017 vs. Q1 2016

▪

Compensation expense increased compared to the prior-year quarter, due to higher expense related to performance-based incentive compensation and higher salary expense. Long-term performance-based incentive expense increased $30.2 million primarily due to a change in the vesting provisions associated with long-term incentive grants to retirement-eligible employees. The increase in salary expense was driven by staff growth and base pay adjustments, partially offset by the favorable impact of movements in foreign exchange rates.


▪	Employee benefits expense increased compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily related to higher payroll taxes and medical costs.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Total stockholders’ equity averaged $9.8 billion, up $1.1 billion, or 13% from the prior-year quarter’s average of $8.7 billion. The increase was primarily attributable to the issuance of preferred stock and earnings, partially offset by dividend declarations and the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share repurchase program. During the third quarter 2016, the Corporation issued and sold 500,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock for proceeds of $493.5 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other issuance costs. During the current quarter, the Corporation declared cash dividends totaling $20.7 million to preferred stockholders and cash dividends totaling $89.4 million to common stockholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Corporation repurchased 811,730 shares of common stock, including 410,869 shares withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of $70.1 million ($86.39 average price per share).

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 generally accepted accounting principles to such measures on an FTE basis, which are non-generally accepted accounting financial measures. 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.
