COLUMBUS, Ohio – Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Nasdaq: HBAN) reported a net loss for the 2021 second quarter of $15 million, a decrease of $165 million from the year-ago quarter, impacted by TCF acquisition-related expenses. Earnings (loss) per common share for the 2021 second quarter were ($0.05), down $0.18 from the year-ago quarter. Excluding approximately $0.40 per common share after tax of Notable Items, adjusted earnings per common share were $0.35. Specifically, second-quarter results were negatively impacted by $269 million pretax of TCF acquisition-related expenses and $294 million pretax of CECL initial provision ("double count"1) expense related to the acquisition.
Tangible book value per common share ended the 2021 second quarter at $8.23, a 1% year-over-year decrease. Return on average assets was (0.05%), return on average common equity was (1.9%), and return on average tangible common equity was (2.1%).

CEO Commentary:
“We delivered solid fundamental performance for the quarter,” said Steve Steinour, chairman, president, and CEO. “We are seeing encouraging signs of the economic recovery, and customer activity is starting to normalize. Lending pipelines have continued to grow across the board, reflecting our view of increased loan demand later this year.
“We are excited about the acquisition of TCF, which has strengthened the run-rate return profile of the company. Integration execution is proceeding on schedule. We have completed several systems conversions, and we closed 44 Meijer branch locations in June. In addition, we remain confident that we will complete the majority of systems conversions and remaining branch consolidations during the first part of the fourth quarter of 2021. This will move us swiftly toward realizing our annualized cost savings target and set up earnings for 2022 and beyond.
“We are executing strategies to drive sustained revenue growth across the bank, and the TCF acquisition is one component of these efforts. The second quarter introduction of Standby CashSM, our most successful product launch ever, is an example of how we are innovating to further differentiate our products and services. We also are building out our business banking, middle market, corporate, and wealth management teams, augmented by increased investments in our brand, to accelerate growth across our expanded customer base and geographies.
“Finally, Huntington is proud to be ranked by J.D. Power as the highest in customer satisfaction among regional banks for our mobile app for the third consecutive year,” Steinour said. “Huntington also claimed the highest ranking in customer satisfaction with consumer banking in the North Central Region for the sixth time in nine years. Our progress on becoming the leading people-first, digitally powered bank in the country is being demonstrated through these accolades and through our increased customer utilization.”

Huntington's management and organizational structure has been updated to reflect the combined organization. Onboarding of former TCF colleagues is complete, and their initial training has commenced. Certain Huntington products and services are being introduced across the legacy TCF customer base, and customer-facing colleagues are focused on both retaining and growing customers. Systems conversions have commenced and are scheduled to be substantially complete early in the 2021 fourth quarter. The branch conversion and remaining 145 branch consolidations are scheduled to be completed by October 2021.
As part of the TCF transaction, Huntington entered into an agreement to sell 14 banking centers in Michigan, including approximately $1.0 billion of total deposits and $0.3 billion of total loans, to Horizon Bank, the wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Horizon Bancorp, Inc. This transaction is expected to close during the 2021 third quarter.

See Pages 6-8 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.

Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the 2021 second quarter increased $47 million, or 6%, from the 2020 second quarter. This increase reflected the benefit of an $18.4 billion, or 17%, increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a 28 basis point decrease in the FTE net interest margin (NIM) to 2.66%. Net interest income in the 2021 second quarter included a ($55) million mark-to-market of interest rate caps, which unfavorably impacted the NIM by approximately 17 basis points (and increased reported long-term debt costs by approximately 318 basis points), and $30 million of deferred PPP loan fees recognized upon receipt of forgiveness payments from the US Small Business Administration (SBA), which favorably impacted the NIM by approximately 9 basis points. The impact of purchase accounting accretion favorably impacted the NIM by approximately 3 basis points. The year-over-year decreases in average earning asset yields and average liability costs reflected the impact of lower interest rates and changes in balance sheet mix, including elevated deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Compared to the 2021 first quarter, FTE net interest income decreased $134 million, or 14%, reflecting 82 basis points of NIM compression, partially offset by a $13.3 billion, or 12%, increase in average earning assets. Both the net interest income decrease and the NIM compression primarily reflected the net impacts of the mark-to-market of interest rate caps, partially offset by the deferred PPP loan fees recognized upon receipt of forgiveness payments from the SBA. The impact of purchase accounting accretion favorably impacted the NIM by approximately 3 basis points. The mark-to-market of interest rate caps was ($55) million in the 2021 second quarter compared to $144 million in the 2021 first quarter. The deferred PPP loan fees were $30 million in the 2021 second quarter compared to $45 million in the 2021 first quarter.

Note: 2021 second quarter results reflect inclusion of TCF since June 9, 2021.

Average earning assets for the 2021 second quarter increased $18.4 billion, or 17%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting a $7.2 billion, or 9%, increase in average total loans and leases, a $6.5 billion, or 27%, increase in average securities, and a $4.2 billion, or 124%, increase in interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank. Average loan balances across categories reflect the late-quarter TCF acquisition. The acquisition was the primary driver of increases in average commercial real estate (CRE) loans and average home equity loans, which increased $2 billion, or 28%, and $0.5 billion, or 5%, respectively. In addition to increases related to the acquisition, average residential mortgage loans increased $2.3 billion, or 20%, due to continued robust portfolio mortgage production. Average commercial & industrial (C&I) loans increased $1.2 billion, or 3%, primarily reflecting the $0.9 billion increase in average PPP loans. Average RV and marine loans increased $0.7 billion, or 20%, reflecting strong consumer demand and continued strong production levels.
Compared to the 2021 first quarter, average earning assets increased $13.3 billion, or 12%, primarily reflecting a $7.2 billion, or 9%, increase in average loans and leases and a $4.5 billion, or 17%, increase in average securities. The increases in average loans and leases and securities are partially a result of the TCF acquisition. Average C&I loans increased $2.0 billion, or 6%, primarily reflecting the TCF acquisition partially offset by a $0.8 billion decrease in average PPP loans.
Huntington received forgiveness payments from the SBA for approximately $3.1 billion of PPP loans during the 2021 second quarter compared to $2.3 billion of PPP loans during the 2021 first quarter.

See Page 6 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.

Average total interest-bearing liabilities for the 2021 second quarter increased $7.1 billion, or 9%, from the year-ago quarter. Average total deposits increased $19.5 billion, or 21%, while average total core deposits increased $20.6 billion, or 23%. These increases were primarily driven by elevated balances in both consumer and commercial core deposits largely related to government stimulus, improved retention, and the impact of the late-quarter TCF acquisition. Average deposit balances across categories reflect the late-quarter TCF acquisition. In addition to the acquisition, average total demand deposits increased $14.7 billion, or 30%, average savings and other domestic deposits increased $4.6 billion, or 43%, and average money market deposits increased $2.4 billion, or 9%, due to elevated balances in both consumer and commercial core deposits. Partially offsetting these increases, average core certificates of deposit (CDs) decreased $1.2 billion, or 39%, reflecting the maturity of balances related to the 2018 consumer deposit growth initiatives. Average total debt decreased $3.5 billion, or 33%, primarily reflecting the maturity of $2.7 billion of long-term debt over the past five quarters, the repayment of short-term borrowings, and the purchase of $0.5 billion of long-term debt under the tender offer completed in November 2020, all due to the strong core deposit growth.
Compared to the 2021 first quarter, average total interest-bearing liabilities increased $7.1 billion, or 9%. Average total deposits increased $13.4 billion, or 13%, and average total core deposits increased $13.6 billion, or 14%. These increases were primarily driven by the impact of the late-quarter TCF acquisition, elevated balances in both consumer and commercial core deposits largely related to government stimulus, and improved retention. Specifically, within core deposits, average total demand deposits increased $8.4 billion, or 15%. Average total debt decreased $0.8 billion, or 11%, primarily reflecting the maturity of $1.9 billion of long-term debt during the last two quarters.

Overall asset quality metrics were impacted by the TCF acquisition, while underlying trends within legacy Huntington portfolios continued to trend positively. Nonperforming assets (NPAs) increased to $1.0 billion, or 0.91% of total loans and leases and OREO, from $713 million, or 0.89%, a year ago. Nonaccrual loans and leases (NALs) increased $329 million, or 51%, to $977 million, or 0.87% of total loans and leases. On a linked quarter basis, NALs increased $461 million, or 89%, while NPAs increased $470 million, or 86%. The linked quarter increase in both NALs and NPAs was driven largely by the TCF acquisition.
The provision for credit losses decreased $116 million year-over-year to $211 million in the 2021 second quarter. Net charge-offs (NCOs) decreased $45 million to $62 million. NCOs represented an annualized 0.28% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, down from 0.32% in the prior quarter and down from 0.54% in the year-ago quarter. Consumer NCOs showed improvement on a year-over-year and linked quarter basis, with auto and home equity both recording net recoveries in the quarter. Commercial NCOs showed improvement on a year-over-year basis, but worsened on a linked quarter basis driven largely by the TCF acquisition. We remain confident in the long-term credit performance of our loan portfolios.
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) increased $516 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.2 billion, or 1.98% of total loans and leases. The ALLL as a percentage of period-end total NALs decreased to 227%

11


from 263% over the same period. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) increased by $501 million from the year-ago quarter to $2.3 billion, or 2.08% of total loans and leases. On a linked quarter basis, the ACL increased $581 million, driven primarily by the credit mark for the acquired TCF portfolio, partially offset by a net reduction in the allowance for the legacy Huntington portfolio. We believe the levels of the ALLL and ACL are appropriate given the current level of problem loans and the economic outlook.

(1)June 30, 2021 figures are estimated. Amounts are presented on a Basel III standardized approach basis for calculating risk-weighted assets. The capital ratios reflect Huntington’s election of a five-year transition to delay for two years the full impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period.
See Page 16 of Quarterly Financial Supplement for additional detail.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.16% at June 30, 2021, down 12 basis points from a year ago due to year-over-year balance sheet growth. Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio was 9.97%, up from 9.84% a year ago. The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.24% compared to 11.79% at June 30, 2020. The increase in regulatory capital ratios was driven by earnings, adjusted for CECL transition, offset by cash dividends. The balance sheet growth as a result of the TCF acquisition was largely offset by the common stock issued related to the acquisition, net of goodwill and intangibles, as well as the change in asset mix during 2020 related to the PPP loans and elevated deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank (both of which are 0% risk weighted). The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios also reflect the issuance of $500 million of Series G preferred stock in the 2020 third quarter, $500 million of Series H preferred stock in the 2021 first quarter, and the issuance of $175 million of Series I preferred stock in the 2021 second quarter resulting from the conversion of TCF preferred stock.
Subsequent to quarter end, Huntington redeemed $600 million of Series D preferred stock on July 15, 2021, which represented all of the Series D preferred stock issued and outstanding.
In addition, the Board approved the repurchase of up to $800 million of common shares over the next four quarters. Purchases of common stock under the authorization may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, and accelerated share repurchase programs.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $14 million in the 2021 second quarter and $31 million in the 2020 second quarter. The effective tax rates for the 2021 second quarter and 2020 second quarter were (2,353.3%) and 17.2%, respectively. The variance between the 2021 second quarter and the 2020 second quarter provision for income taxes relates primarily to lower pre-tax income as a result of acquisition-related expenses, an increase in tax reserves related to ongoing IRS examinations, and the impact of stock-based compensation. Excluding TCF acquisition-related expenses of $269 million, the related tax benefit of $51 million, and discrete tax expenses of $16 million, the effective tax rate for the 2021 second quarter would have been 18.8%.
At June 30, 2021, we had a net federal deferred tax liability of $179 million and a net state deferred tax asset of $27 million.

of unexpected factors or events; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the branch divestiture; and other factors that may affect the future results of Huntington. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in Huntington’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, each of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available in the “Investor Relations” section of Huntington’s website http://www.huntington.com, under the heading “Publications and Filings” and in other documents Huntington files with the SEC.

Basis of Presentation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Huntington’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this document, conference call slides, or the Form 8-K related to this document, all of which can be found in the Investor Relations section of Huntington’s website, http://www.huntington.com.
Annualized Data
Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. For example, loan and deposit growth rates, as well as net charge-off percentages, are most often expressed in terms of an annual rate like 8%. As such, a 2% growth rate for a quarter would represent an annualized 8% growth rate.
Fully-Taxable Equivalent Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at statutory rates. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt municipal securities and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to results of competitors.
Rounding
Please note that columns of data in this document may not add due to rounding.
Notable Items
From time to time, revenue, expenses, or taxes are impacted by items judged by management to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management at that time to be infrequent or short term in nature. We refer to such items as “Notable Items.” Management believes it is useful to consider certain financial metrics with and without Notable Items, in order to enable a better understanding of company results, increase comparability of period-to-period results, and to evaluate and forecast those results.
