FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business. They usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as “will likely result,” “may,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “projected,” “intends to,” or may include other similar words or phrases such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continue,” “remain,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements we may make. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to us. There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (1) general economic conditions and weakening in the economy, specifically the real estate market, either nationally or in the states in which Fifth Third, one or more acquired entities and/or the combined company do business, are less favorable than expected; (2) deteriorating credit quality; (3) political developments, wars or other hostilities may disrupt or increase volatility in securities markets or other economic conditions; (4) changes in the interest rate environment reduce interest margins; (5) prepayment speeds, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs and loan loss provisions; (6) Fifth Third’s ability to maintain required capital levels and adequate sources of funding and liquidity; (7) maintaining capital requirements may limit Fifth Third’s operations and potential growth; (8) changes and trends in capital markets; (9) problems encountered by larger or similar financial institutions may adversely affect the banking industry and/or Fifth Third; (10) competitive pressures among depository institutions increase significantly; (11) effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; (12) changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other regulatory agencies; (13) legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation, adversely affect Fifth Third, one or more acquired entities and/or the combined company or the businesses in which Fifth Third, one or more acquired entities and/or the combined company are engaged, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (14) ability to maintain favorable ratings from rating agencies; (15) fluctuation of Fifth Third’s stock price; (16) ability to attract and retain key personnel; (17) ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries; (18) potentially dilutive effect of future acquisitions on current shareholders’ ownership of Fifth Third; (19) effects of accounting or financial results of one or more acquired entities; (20) difficulties from the separation of or the results of operations of Vantiv, LLC; (21) loss of income from any sale or potential sale of businesses that could have an adverse effect on Fifth Third’s earnings and future growth; (22) ability to secure confidential information and deliver products and services through the use of computer systems and telecommunications networks; and (23) the impact of reputational risk created by these developments on such matters as business generation and retention, funding and liquidity.

OVERVIEW

Fifth Third Bancorp is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. At June 30, 2013, the Bancorp had $123.4 billion in assets, operated 18 affiliates with 1,326 full-service Banking Centers, including 104 Bank Mart® locations open seven days a week inside select grocery stores, and 2,433 ATMs in 12 states throughout the Midwestern and Southeastern regions of the U.S. The Bancorp reports on four business segments: Commercial Banking, Branch Banking, Consumer Lending and Investment Advisors. The Bancorp also has a 28% interest in Vantiv Holding, LLC. The carrying value of the Bancorp’s investment in Vantiv Holding, LLC was $448 million as of June 30, 2013.

This overview of MD&A highlights selected information in the financial results of the Bancorp and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of trends, events, commitments, uncertainties, liquidity, capital resources and critical accounting policies and estimates, you should carefully read this entire document as well as the 2012 Form 10-K. Each of these items could have an impact on the Bancorp’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, see the Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms in this report for a list of terms included as a tool for the reader of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The abbreviations and acronyms identified therein are used throughout this MD&A, as well as the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Bancorp believes that banking is first and foremost a relationship business where the strength of the competition and challenges for growth can vary in every market. The Bancorp believes its affiliate operating model provides a competitive advantage by emphasizing individual relationships. Through its affiliate operating model, individual managers at all levels within the affiliates are given the opportunity to tailor financial solutions for their customers.

Net interest income, net interest margin and the efficiency ratio are presented in MD&A on an FTE basis. 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 as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

The Bancorp’s revenues are dependent on both net interest income and noninterest income. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, net interest income, on an FTE basis, and noninterest income provided 45% and 55% of total revenue, respectively. The Bancorp derives the majority of its revenues within the U.S. from customers domiciled in the U.S. Revenue from foreign countries and external customers domiciled in foreign countries is immaterial to the Bancorp’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in interest rates, credit quality, economic trends and the capital markets are primary factors that drive the performance of the Bancorp. As discussed later in the Risk Management section, risk identification, measurement, monitoring, control and reporting are important to the management of risk and to the financial performance and capital strength of the Bancorp.

Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on assets such as loans, leases and securities, and interest expense incurred on liabilities such as deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Net interest income is affected by the general level of interest rates, the relative level of short-term and long-term interest rates, changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Generally, the rates of interest the Bancorp earns on its assets and pays on its liabilities are established for a period of time. The change in market interest rates over time exposes the Bancorp to interest rate risk through potential adverse changes to net interest income and financial position. The Bancorp manages this risk by continually analyzing and adjusting the composition of its assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities and their sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, the Bancorp enters into certain derivative transactions as part of its overall strategy to manage its interest rate and prepayment risks. The Bancorp is also exposed to the risk of losses on its loan and lease portfolio, as a result of changing expected cash flows caused by borrower credit events, such as, loan defaults and inadequate collateral due to a weakened economy within the Bancorp’s footprint.

Noninterest income is derived primarily from mortgage banking net revenue, service charges on deposits, corporate banking revenue, investment advisory revenue, card and processing revenue and other noninterest income. Noninterest expense is primarily driven by personnel costs, net occupancy expenses, and technology and communication costs.

Vantiv, Inc. Share Sale

The Bancorp’s ownership position in Vantiv Holding, LLC was reduced in the second quarter of 2013 when the Bancorp sold an approximate five percent interest and recognized a $242 million gain. The Bancorp’s remaining approximate 28% ownership in Vantiv Holding, LLC was accounted for as an equity method investment in the Bancorp’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and had a carrying value of $448 million as of June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2013, the Bancorp continued to hold approximately 53.8 million Class B units of Vantiv Holding, LLC and a warrant to purchase approximately 20.4 million Class C non-voting units of Vantiv Holding, LLC, both of which may be exchanged for Class A Common Stock of Vantiv, Inc. on a one for one basis or at Vantiv, Inc.’s option for cash. In addition, the Bancorp holds approximately 53.8 million Class B common shares of Vantiv, Inc. The Class B common shares give the Bancorp voting rights, but no economic interest in Vantiv, Inc. The voting rights attributable to the Class B common shares are limited to 18.5% of the voting power in Vantiv, Inc. at any time other than in connection with a stockholder vote with respect to a change in control in Vantiv, Inc. These securities are subject to certain terms and restrictions.

Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Bancorp sold additional shares of Vantiv, Inc. For additional information, see Note 22 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

CCAR Results

On March 14, 2013, the Bancorp announced the results of its capital plan submitted to the FRB as part of the 2013 CCAR. The FRB indicated to the Bancorp that it did not object to the following capital actions for the period beginning April 1, 2013 and ending March 31, 2014: the potential increase in its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.12 per share; the potential repurchase of up to $750 million in TruPS, subject to the determination of a regulatory capital event and replacement with the issuance of a similar amount of Tier II-qualifying subordinated debt; the potential conversion of the $398 million in outstanding Series G 8.5% convertible preferred stock into approximately 35.5 million common shares issued to the holders and the repurchase of the common shares issued in the conversion up to $550 million in market value, and the issuance of $550 million in preferred shares; the potential repurchase of common shares in an amount up to $984 million, including any shares issued in a Series G preferred stock conversion and the potential issuance of an additional $500 million in preferred stock. In addition, the Bancorp intends to make incremental repurchases of common shares in the amount of any after-tax gains from the sale of Vantiv, Inc. common stock. For more information on the 2013 CCAR results, refer to the Capital Management section of MD&A.

Accelerated Share Repurchase Transactions

On November 6, 2012, the Bancorp entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a counterparty pursuant to which the Bancorp purchased 7,710,761 shares, or approximately $125 million, of its outstanding common stock on November 9, 2012. The Bancorp repurchased the shares of its common stock as part of its 100 million share repurchase program announced in August of 2012. As part of this transaction and all subsequent accelerated share repurchases, the Bancorp entered into a forward contract in which the final number of shares to be delivered at settlement of the accelerated share repurchase transaction will be based generally on a discount to the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Bancorp’s common stock during the term of the Repurchase Agreement. The accelerated share repurchase was treated as two separate transactions (i) the acquisition of treasury shares on the acquisition date and (ii) a forward contract indexed to the Bancorp’s stock. At settlement of the forward contract on February 12, 2013, the Bancorp received an additional 657,914 shares which were recorded as an adjustment to the basis in the treasury shares purchased on the acquisition date.

Following the sale of a portion of the Bancorp’s shares of Class A Vantiv, Inc. common stock in 2012, the Bancorp entered into an accelerated share purchase transaction on December 14, 2012 with a counterparty pursuant to which the Bancorp purchased 6,267,410 shares, or approximately $100 million, of its outstanding common stock on December 19, 2012. The Bancorp repurchased the shares of its common stock as part of its previously announced 100 million share repurchase program. At settlement of the transaction on February 27, 2013, the Bancorp received an additional 127,760 shares which were recorded as an adjustment to the basis in the treasury shares purchased on the acquisition date.

On January 28, 2013, the Bancorp entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a counterparty pursuant to which the Bancorp purchased 6,953,028 shares, or approximately $125 million, of its outstanding common stock on January 31, 2013. The Bancorp repurchased the shares of its common stock as part of its previously announced 100 million share repurchase program. This repurchase transaction concluded the $600 million of common share repurchases not objected to by the FRB in the 2012 CCAR process. At settlement of the forward contract on April 5, 2013, the Bancorp received an additional 849,037 shares which were recorded as an adjustment to the basis in the treasury shares purchased on the acquisition date.

On March 19, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Bancorp to repurchase up to 100 million common shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, and to utilize any derivative or similar instrument to effect share repurchase transactions. This share repurchase authorization replaced the Board’s previous authorization from August of 2012.

On May 21, 2013, the Bancorp entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a counterparty pursuant to which the Bancorp purchased 25,035,519 shares, or approximately $539 million, of its outstanding common stock on May 24, 2013. The Bancorp repurchased the shares of its common stock as part of its 100 million share repurchase program previously announced on March 19, 2013. The Bancorp expects the settlement of the transaction to occur on or before October 21, 2013. Approximately $600 million of repurchase authorization remains under the 2013 CCAR, excluding any after-tax gains realized by the Bancorp from future sales of Vantiv, Inc. shares.

Preferred Stock Offering and Conversion

As contemplated by the 2013 CCAR, on May 13, 2013 the Bancorp issued in a registered public offering 600,000 depositary shares, representing 24,000 shares of 5.10% fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative Series H perpetual preferred stock, for net proceeds of $593 million. Each preferred share has a $25,000 liquidation preference. The preferred stock accrues dividends, on a non-cumulative semi-annual basis, at an annual rate of 5.10% through but excluding June 30, 2023, at which time it converts to a quarterly floating rate dividend of three-month LIBOR plus 3.033%. Subject to any required regulatory approval, the Bancorp may redeem the Series H preferred shares at its option in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 30, 2023 and following a regulatory capital event at any time prior to June 30, 2023. The Series H preferred shares are not convertible into Bancorp common shares or any other securities. Under the 2013 CCAR, the Bancorp has $450 million of remaining preferred stock available for issuance as of June 30, 2013.

On June 11, 2013, the Bancorp’s Board of Directors authorized the conversion into common stock, no par value, of all outstanding shares of the Bancorp’s 8.50% non-cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock, Series G, which shares are represented by depositary shares each representing 1/250th of a share of Series G preferred stock, pursuant to the Amended Articles of Incorporation. The Articles grant the Bancorp the right, at its option, to convert all outstanding shares of Series G preferred stock if the closing price of common stock exceeded 130% of the applicable conversion price for 20 trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days. The closing price of shares of common stock satisfied such threshold for the 30 trading days ended June 10, 2013, and the Bancorp gave the required notice of its exercise of its conversion right. On July 1, 2013, the Bancorp converted the remaining 16,442 outstanding shares of Series G preferred stock, which

represented 4,110,500 depositary shares, into shares of Fifth Third’s common stock. Each share of Series G preferred stock was converted into 2,159.8272 shares of common stock, representing a total of 35,511,740 issued shares. The common shares issued in the conversion are exempt securities pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as securities exchanged exclusively with Bancorp’s existing security holders where no commission or other remuneration was paid. Upon conversion, the depositary shares were delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and withdrawn from the Exchange.

Senior Notes Offering

On February 25, 2013, the Bancorp’s banking subsidiary updated and amended its existing global bank note program. The amended global bank note program increased the Bank’s capacity to issue its senior and subordinated unsecured bank notes from $20 billion to $25 billion. Additionally, on February 28, 2013, the Bank issued and sold, under its amended bank notes program, $1.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior bank notes. The bank notes consisted of: $600 million of 1.45% senior fixed rate notes, with a maturity of five years, due on February 28, 2018; $400 million of 0.90% senior fixed rate notes with a maturity of three years, due on February 26, 2016; and $300 million of senior floating rate notes. Interest on the floating rate notes is 3-month LIBOR plus 41 bps, with a maturity of three years, due on February 26, 2016. The bank notes will be redeemable by the Bank, in whole or in part, on or after the date that is 30 days prior to the maturity date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date.

Legislative Developments

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into federal law. This act implements changes to the financial services industry and affects the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The legislation establishes a CFPB responsible for implementing and enforcing compliance with consumer financial laws, changes the methodology for determining deposit insurance assessments, gives the FRB the ability to regulate and limit interchange rates charged to merchants for the use of debit cards, enacts new limitations on proprietary trading, broadens the scope of derivative instruments subject to regulation, requires on-going stress tests and the submission of annual capital plans for certain organizations and requires changes to regulatory capital ratios. This act also calls for federal regulatory agencies to conduct multiple studies over the next several years in order to implement its provisions. While the total impact of the fully implemented Dodd-Frank Act on the Bancorp is not currently known, the impact is expected to be substantial and may have an adverse impact on the Bancorp’s financial performance and growth opportunities.

The Bancorp was impacted by a number of components of the Dodd-Frank Act which were implemented in 2012 and 2013. On October 9, 2012, the FRB published final stress testing rules that implement section 165(i)(1) and (i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act. The bank holding companies that participated in the 2009 SCAP and subsequent CCAR, which includes the Bancorp, are subject to the final stress testing rules. The rules require both supervisory and company-run stress tests, which provide forward-looking information to supervisors to help assess whether institutions have sufficient capital to absorb losses and support operations during adverse economic conditions.

The FRB launched the 2013 stress testing program and CCAR on November 9, 2012. The CCAR required bank holding companies to submit a capital plan in addition to their stress testing results. The mandatory elements of the capital plan were an assessment of the expected use and sources of capital over the planning horizon, a description of all planned capital actions over the planning horizon, a discussion of any expected changes to the Bancorp’s business plan that are likely to have a material impact on its capital adequacy or liquidity, a detailed description of the Bancorp’s process for assessing capital adequacy and the Bancorp’s capital policy. The stress testing results and capital plan were submitted by the Bancorp to the FRB on January 7, 2013. In March of 2013, the FRB disclosed its estimates of participating institutions results under the FRB supervisory stress scenario, including capital results, which assume all banks take certain consistently applied future capital actions. In addition, the FRB disclosed its estimates of participating institutions results under the FRB supervisory severe stress scenarios including capital results based on each company’s own base scenario capital actions. On March 14, 2013, the Bancorp announced the results of its capital plan and company run stress test submitted to the FRB as part of the 2013 CCAR.

The FRB’s review of the capital plan assessed the comprehensiveness of the capital plan, the reasonableness of the assumptions and the analysis underlying the capital plan. Additionally, the FRB reviewed the robustness of the capital adequacy process, the capital policy and the Bancorp’s ability to maintain capital above the minimum regulatory capital ratios and above a Tier I common ratio of five percent on a pro forma basis under expected and stressful conditions throughout the planning horizon. The FRB assessed the Bancorp’s strategies for addressing proposed revisions to the regulatory capital framework agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and requirements arising from the Dodd-Frank Act.

Beginning in 2013, the Bancorp and other large bank holding companies were required to conduct a separate mid-year stress test using financial data as of March 31st under three company-derived macro-economic scenarios (base, adverse and severely adverse). The Bancorp submitted the results of its mid-year stress test to the FRB in July of 2013 and the FRB will publish a summary of the results under the severely adverse scenario in September of 2013. For further discussion on the 2013 Stress Tests and CCAR, see the Capital Management section in MD&A.

In January of 2013, the CFPB issued several final regulations and changes to certain consumer protections under existing laws. These regulations are intended to strengthen consumer protections for high-cost mortgages, amend escrow requirements under the Truth in Lending Act, require mortgage lenders to consider the consumers’ ability to repay home loans before extending them credit, implement mortgage servicing rules, amend the Equal Credit Opportunity Act regarding appraisals and other written valuations for first lien residential mortgage loans and revises the Truth in Lending Act to strengthen loan originator qualification requirements and regulate industry compensation practices. These regulations take effect in 2014 except for the escrow requirements and certain provisions of the compensation rules under the Truth in Lending Act which took effect on June 1, 2013. The Bancorp is currently assessing the impact these new regulations will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fifth Third offers qualified deposit customers a deposit advance product if they choose to avail themselves of this service to meet short term, small-dollar financial needs. In April of 2013, the CFPB issued a “White Paper” which studied financial services industry offerings and customer use of deposit advance products as well as payday loans and is considering whether rules governing these products are warranted. At the same time, the OCC and FDIC each issued proposed supervisory guidance for public comment to institutions they supervise which supplements existing OCC and FDIC guidance, detailing the principles they expect financial institutions to follow in connection with deposit advance products and supervisory expectations for the use of deposit advance products. The Federal Reserve also issued a statement in April to state member banks like Fifth Third for whom the Federal Reserve is the primary regulator. This statement encouraged state member banks to respond to customers’ small-dollar credit needs in a responsible manner; emphasized that they should take into consideration the risks associated with deposit advance products, including potential consumer harm and potential elevated compliance risk; and reminded them that these product offerings must comply with applicable laws and regulations. Fifth Third’s deposit advance product was designed to fully comply with all applicable federal and state laws. Use of this product is subject to strict eligibility requirements and advance restriction guidelines to limit dependency on this product as a borrowing source. Fifth Third believes this product provides customers with a relatively low-cost alternative for such needs. Fifth Third is currently evaluating the Federal Reserve’s statement, the proposed guidance by other regulators, and the CFPB’s White Paper, to determine whether any changes need to be made to this offering and alternative methods, products and services to ensure that we are able to continue to meet our customers’ needs. As a result, we cannot at this time estimate the negative financial impact of any changes that may be required as a result of these or future developments. These advance balances are included in other consumer loans and leases on the Bancorp’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with revenue reported in interest and fees on loans and leases in the Bancorp’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and in Tables 3 and 4 in the Statements of Income Analysis section of MD&A.

In December of 2010 and revised in June of 2011, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision issued Basel III, a global regulatory framework, to enhance international capital standards. In June of 2012, U.S. banking regulators proposed enhancements to the regulatory capital requirements for U.S. banks, which implement aspects of Basel III, such as re-defining the regulatory capital elements and minimum capital ratios, introducing regulatory capital buffers above those minimums, revising the agencies’ rules for calculating risk-weighted assets and introducing a new Tier I common equity ratio. In July of 2013, U.S. banking regulators approved the final enhanced regulatory capital rules (Basel III), which included modifications to the proposed rules. The Bancorp continues to evaluate the final rules and their potential impact. For more information on the impact of the regulatory capital enhancements, refer to the Capital Management section of MD&A.

In October of 2011, the banking agencies issued an NPR that would implement the provisions of the Volcker Rule. These provisions prohibit banks and bank holding companies from engaging in certain types of proprietary trading. The scope of the proprietary trading prohibition, and its impact on Fifth Third, will depend on the definitions in the final rule, particularly those definitions related to statutory exemptions for risk-mitigating hedging activities, market-making and customer-related activities. The Volcker Rule and the rulemakings promulgated thereunder are also expected to restrict banks and their affiliated entities from investing in or sponsoring certain private equity and hedge funds. Fifth Third does not sponsor any private equity or hedge funds that, under the proposed rule, it is prohibited from sponsoring. As of June 30, 2013, the Bancorp had approximately $168 million in interests and approximately $94 million in binding commitments to invest in private equity funds likely to be affected by the Volcker Rule. It is expected that over time the Bancorp may need to eliminate these investments although it is likely that these amounts will be reduced over time in the ordinary course before compliance is required.

In November 2010, the FDIC implemented a final rule amending its deposit insurance regulations to implement section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Act providing for unlimited deposit insurance for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts for two years starting December 31, 2010. The FDIC did not charge a separate assessment for the insurance unlike the previous Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Beginning January 1, 2013, noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are no longer insured separately from depositors’ other accounts at the same insured depository institution.

On January 7, 2013, the Basel Committee issued a final standard for the LCR, which would phase in the LCR beginning in 2015 with full implementation in 2019. In addition, the Basel Committee plans on introducing the NSFR final standard in the next two years. Refer to the Liquidity Risk Management section in MD&A for further discussion on these ratios.

On July 31, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order granting summary judgment to the plaintiffs in a case challenging certain provisions of the FRB’s rule concerning electronic debit card transaction fees and network exclusivity arrangements (the “Current Rule”) that were adopted to implement Section 1075 of the Dodd-Frank Act, known as the Durbin Amendment. The Court held that, in adopting the Current Rule, the FRB violated the Durbin Amendment’s provisions concerning which costs are allowed to be taken into account for purposes of setting fees that are reasonable and proportional to the costs incurred by the issuer and therefore the Current Rule’s maximum permissible fees were too high. In addition, the Court held that the Current Rule’s network non-exclusivity provisions concerning unaffiliated payment networks for debit cards also violated the Durbin Amendment. The Court vacated the Current Rule, but stayed its ruling to provide the FRB an opportunity to replace the invalidated portions. The FRB has not yet announced whether it will appeal this decision. If this decision is ultimately upheld and/or the FRB re-issues rules for purposes of implementing the Durbin Amendment in a manner consistent with this decision, the amount of debt card interchange fees the Bancorp would be permitted to charge likely would be reduced, thereby negatively affecting the Bancorp’s financial performance. Refer to the Noninterest Income subsection of the Statements of Income Analysis section of MD&A for further information regarding the Bancorp’s debit card interchange revenue.

Earnings Summary

The Bancorp’s net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $582 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, which was net of $9 million in preferred stock dividends. The Bancorp’s net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2012 was $376 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, which was net of $9 million in preferred stock dividends. The Bancorp’s net income

available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $995 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, which was net of $18 million in preferred stock dividends. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Bancorp’s net income available to common shareholders was $797 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, which was net of $18 million in preferred stock dividends. Pre-provision net revenue was $905 million and $1.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $636 million and $1.3 billion in the same periods in 2012. Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP measure. For further information, see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section in MD&A.

Net interest income decreased to $885 million and $1.8 billion, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $899 million and $1.8 billion, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. For both periods, net interest income was negatively impacted by a 35 bps decline in yields on the Bancorp’s interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $5.0 billion increase in average loans and leases due primarily to increases in average commercial and industrial loans and average residential mortgage loans. In addition, interest expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to a reduction in higher cost average long-term debt along with a decrease in the rate paid on average long-term debt. Net interest margin was 3.33% and 3.38% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 3.56% and 3.59% for the same periods in the prior year.

Noninterest income increased $382 million, or 56%, in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year and increased $355 million, or 25%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase for both periods was primarily due to increases in other noninterest income and mortgage banking net revenue. Other noninterest income increased $311 million and $244 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to a $242 million gain on the sale of Vantiv, Inc. shares recognized in the second quarter of 2013. Additionally, other noninterest income increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to an increase in the positive valuation adjustments on stock warrants associated with Vantiv Holding, LLC, an increase in BOLI income due to a settlement related to a previously surrendered BOLI policy and a decrease in the loss related to the Visa total return swap. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $50 million and $66 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in mortgage banking net revenue for both periods was primarily due to an increase in positive net valuation adjustments on mortgage servicing rights and free-standing derivatives entered into to economically hedge the MSR portfolio partially offset by a decrease in origination fees and gains on loan sales.

Noninterest expense increased $98 million, or 10%, in the second quarter of 2013 and increased $102 million, or five percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. The increase for both periods was primarily due to increases in other noninterest expense of $80 million and $75 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to increases in losses and adjustments related to increases in litigation expense and a fraud loss recorded in the second quarter of 2013. In addition, total personnel costs (salaries, wages and incentives plus employee benefits) increased $10 million and $13 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year, due to an increase in incentive compensation as a result of improved production levels and an increase in stock compensation expense.

Credit Summary

The Bancorp does not originate subprime mortgage loans and does not hold asset-backed securities backed by subprime mortgage loans in its securities portfolio. However, the Bancorp has exposure to disruptions in the capital markets and weakened economic conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, credit trends have improved, and as a result, the provision for loan and lease losses decreased to $64 million and $126 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $71 million and $162 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2012. In addition, net charge-offs as a percent of average portfolio loans and leases decreased to 0.51% during the second quarter of 2013 compared to 0.88% during the second quarter of 2012 and decreased to 0.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 0.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013, nonperforming assets as a percent of portfolio loans, leases and other assets, including OREO (excluding nonaccrual loans held for sale) decreased to 1.32%, compared to 1.49% at December 31, 2012. For further discussion on credit quality, see the Credit Risk Management section in MD&A.

Capital Summary

The Bancorp’s capital ratios exceed the “well-capitalized” guidelines as defined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As of June 30, 2013, the Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 11.07%, the Tier I leverage ratio was 10.40% and the total risk-based capital ratio was 14.34%.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Bancorp considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity ratio, tangible common equity ratio and Tier I common equity ratio, in addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators for both absolute and comparative purposes. Because U.S. GAAP does not include capital ratio measures, the Bancorp believes there are no comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures to these ratios. 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. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess the Bancorp’s capital adequacy using these ratios, the Bancorp believes they are useful to provide investors the ability to assess its capital adequacy on the same basis.

The Bancorp believes these non-GAAP measures are important because they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of the Bancorp’s capitalization to other organizations. However, because there are no standardized definitions for these ratios, the Bancorp’s calculations may not be comparable with other organizations, and the usefulness of these measures to investors may be limited. As a result, the Bancorp encourages readers to consider its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

U.S. banking regulators approved final capital rules (Basel III) in July of 2013 that substantially amend the existing risk-based capital rules (Basel I) for banks. The Bancorp believes providing an estimate of its capital position based upon the final rules is important to complement the existing capital ratios and for comparability to other financial institutions. Since these rules are not effective for the Bancorp until January 1, 2015, they are considered non-GAAP measures and therefore are included in the following non-GAAP financial measures table.

Pre-provision net revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income minus noninterest expense. The Bancorp believes this measure is important because it provides a ready view of the Bancorp’s earnings before the impact of provision expense.

(a) Under the banking agencies’ risk-based capital guidelines, assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. The resulting weighted values are added together, along with the measure for market risk, resulting in the Bancorp’s total risk-weighted assets.
(b) Adjustments related to capital components include MSRs and deferred tax assets subject to threshold limitations and deferred tax liabilities related to intangible assets, which were deductions to capital under Basel I capital rules.
(c) Under final Basel III rules, non-advanced approach banks are permitted to make a one-time election to opt out of the requirement to include AOCI in Tier I common equity.
(d) Key differences under Basel III in the calculation of risk-weighted assets compared to Basel I include: (1) Risk weighting for commitments under 1 year; (2) Higher risk weighting for exposures to securitizations, past due loans, foreign banks and certain commercial real estate; (3) Higher risk weighting for MSRs and deferred tax assets that are under certain thresholds as a percent of Tier I capital; and (4) Derivatives are differentiated between exchange clearing and over-the-counter and the 50% risk-weight cap is removed.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provides a discussion of the significant new accounting standards applicable to the Bancorp and the expected impact of significant accounting standards issued, but not yet required to be adopted.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Bancorp’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain accounting policies require management to exercise judgment in determining methodologies, economic assumptions and estimates that may materially affect the Bancorp’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Bancorp’s critical accounting policies include the accounting for the ALLL, reserve for unfunded commitments, income taxes, valuation of servicing rights, fair value measurements and goodwill. These accounting policies are discussed in detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Critical Accounting Policies in the Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. No material changes were made to the valuation techniques or models during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

STATEMENTS OF INCOME ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the interest earned on securities, loans and leases (including yield-related fees) and other interest-earning assets less the interest paid for core deposits (includes transaction deposits and other time deposits) and wholesale funding (includes certificates of deposit $100,000 and over, other deposits, federal funds purchased, short-term borrowings and long-term debt). The net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is typically greater than net interest rate spread due to the interest income earned on those assets that are funded by noninterest-bearing liabilities, or free funding, such as demand deposits or shareholders’ equity.

Tables 3 and 4 present the components of net interest income, net interest margin and net interest rate spread for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, as well as the relative impact of changes in the balance sheet and changes in interest rates on net interest income. Nonaccrual loans and leases and loans held for sale have been included in the average loan and lease balances. Average outstanding securities balances are based on amortized cost with any unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities included in other assets.

Net interest income was $885 million for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $14 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. Net interest income was $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $25 million from the six months ended June 30, 2012. Included within net interest income are amounts related to the accretion of discounts on acquired loans and deposits, primarily as a result of acquisitions in previous years, which increased net interest income by $5 million and $10 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $11 million and $19 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The original purchase accounting discounts reflected the high discount rates in the market at the time of the acquisitions; the total loan discounts are being accreted into net interest income over the remaining period to maturity of the loans acquired. Based upon the remaining period to maturity, and excluding the impact of potential prepayments, the Bancorp anticipates recognizing approximately $5 million in additional net interest income during the remainder of 2013 as a result of the amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on acquired loans and deposits.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net interest income was negatively impacted by a 35 bps decline in yields on the Bancorp’s interest-earnings assets compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in yields on interest-earning assets was partially offset by an increase in average loans and leases of $5.0 billion for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year, as well as a decrease in interest expense compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, decrease in average long-term debt coupled with a 46 bps and 47 bps, respectively, decrease in the rate paid on average long-term debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the net interest rate spread decreased to 3.16% and 3.20%, respectively, from 3.35% and 3.37% in the same periods in 2012, as the benefit of the decreases in rates on interest-bearing liabilities was more than offset by a decrease in yield on average interest-earnings assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012.

Net interest margin was 3.33% and 3.38% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 3.56% and 3.59% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Net interest margin was impacted by the amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on acquired loans and deposits that resulted in an increase in net interest margin of 2 bps during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a 4 bps and 3 bps increase during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Exclusive of these amounts, net interest margin decreased 21 bps and 20 bps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease from both periods in 2012 was driven primarily by the previously mentioned decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in average loans and leases and a reduction in higher cost long-term debt coupled with a decrease in the rates paid on average long-term debt.

Interest income from loans and leases decreased $26 million, or three percent, compared to the second quarter of 2012 and decreased $43 million, or two percent, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease from the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of a decrease of 37 bps and 33 bps, respectively, in yields on average loans and leases partially offset by an increase of six percent in average loans and leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in average loans and leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was driven primarily by an increase of 15% in average commercial and industrial loans and an increase of 15% in average residential mortgage loans for both periods. For more information on the Bancorp’s loan and lease portfolio, see the Loans and Leases section of the Balance Sheet Analysis section of MD&A. In addition, interest income from investment securities and other short-term investments decreased $16 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily as the result of a 39 bps decrease in the average yield on taxable securities. Interest income from investment securities and other short-term investments decreased $45 million, or 16%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a 54 bps decrease in the average yield on taxable securities.

Average core deposits increased $3.6 billion, or four percent, compared to the second quarter of 2012 and increased $3.4 billion, or four percent, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase from both periods was primarily due to an increase in average money market deposits and average demand deposits partially offset by decreases in average savings deposits and average other time deposits. The cost of average core deposits decreased to 18 bps and 19 bps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, from 21 bps and 22 bps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of a mix shift to lower cost core deposits as a result of run-off of higher priced CDs combined with decreases of 7 bps and 8 bps in the rate paid on average savings deposits and decreases of 12 bps on average other time deposits compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, interest expense on average wholesale funding decreased $25 million and $52 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of a $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion decrease in average long-term debt. In addition, the decrease in interest expense on average wholesale funding for both periods was also due to a decrease in the rates paid on average long-term debt of 46 bps and 47 bps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. The reduction in higher cost long-term debt was primarily the result of the redemption of outstanding TruPS and FHLB debt in the second half of 2012. In the third quarter of 2012, the Bancorp redeemed $1.4 billion of outstanding TruPS which had a 7.25% distribution rate. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Bancorp terminated $1.0 billion of FHLB debt with a fixed rate of 4.56%. Refer to the Borrowings subsection of the Balance Sheet Analysis section of MD&A for additional information on the Bancorp’s borrowings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, average wholesale funding represented 24% of average interest-bearing liabilities compared to 24% and 23%, respectively, during the same periods in the prior year. For more information on the Bancorp’s interest rate risk management, including estimated earnings sensitivity to changes in market interest rates, see the Market Risk Management section of MD&A.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The Bancorp provides as an expense an amount for probable loan and lease losses within the loan and lease portfolio that is based on factors previously discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies section of the Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The provision is recorded to bring the ALLL to a level deemed appropriate by the Bancorp to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. Actual credit losses on loans and leases are charged against the ALLL. The amount of loans actually removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is referred to as charge-offs. Net charge-offs include current period charge-offs less recoveries on previously charged-off loans and leases.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $64 million and $126 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $71 million and $162 million during the same periods in 2012. The decrease in provision expense for both periods was due to decreases in nonperforming loans and leases, improved delinquency metrics in commercial and consumer loans and leases, and improvement in underlying loss trends. The ALLL declined $119 million from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2012 to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the ALLL as a percent of portfolio loans and leases decreased to 1.99%, compared to 2.16% at December 31, 2012.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $382 million, or 56%, for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 and increased $355 million, or 25%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Mortgage banking net revenue

Mortgage banking net revenue increased $50 million and $66 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

The components of mortgage banking net revenue are as follows:

Origination fees and gains on loan sales decreased $33 million and $38 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease from both periods in the prior year was primarily the result of lower profit margins on sold residential mortgage loans partially offset by a 26% and 20% increase in residential mortgage loan originations from the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Residential mortgage loan originations increased to $7.5 billion during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $5.9 billion during the second quarter of 2012 and increased to $14.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $12.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in originations is primarily due to strong refinancing activity including an increase in refinancing activity under the HARP 2.0 program.

Net mortgage servicing revenue is comprised of gross mortgage servicing fees and related mortgage servicing rights amortization as well as valuation adjustments on MSRs and mark-to-market adjustments on both settled and outstanding free-standing derivative financial instruments used to economically hedge the MSR portfolio. Net mortgage servicing revenue increased $83 million and $104 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, driven primarily by increases of $94 million and $122 million, respectively, in net valuation adjustments partially offset by increases in mortgage servicing rights amortization of $10 million and $18 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

The net valuation adjustment gain of $72 million during the second quarter of 2013 included a recovery of temporary impairment of $102 million on the MSRs partially offset by $30 million in losses from derivatives economically hedging the MSRs. Servicing rights are deemed impaired when a borrower’s loan rate is distinctly higher than prevailing rates. Impairment on servicing rights is reversed when the prevailing rates return to a level commensurate with the borrower’s loan rate. Further detail on the valuation of MSRs can be found in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bancorp maintains a non-qualifying hedging strategy to manage a portion of the

risk associated with changes in the valuation on the MSR portfolio. See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the free-standing derivatives used to economically hedge the MSR portfolio. The net valuation adjustment loss of $22 million during the second quarter of 2012 included $60 million in temporary impairment on the MSR portfolio partially offset by $38 million in gains from derivatives economically hedging the MSRs. The net valuation adjustment gain of $114 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a recovery of temporary impairment of $151 million on the MSRs partially offset by $37 million in losses from derivatives economically hedging the MSRs. The net valuation adjustment loss of $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $49 million of temporary impairment on the MSR portfolio partially offset by $42 million in gains from derivatives economically hedging the MSR portfolio. Mortgage rates increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. This caused modeled prepayments speeds to slow, which led to the recovery on temporary impairment on servicing rights during both periods.

The Bancorp’s total residential loans serviced as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $81.7 billion and $74.8 billion, respectively, with $67.2 billion, and $61.6 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans serviced for others.

In addition to the derivative positions used to economically hedge the MSR portfolio, the Bancorp acquires various securities as a component of its non-qualifying hedging strategy. Unrealized gains of $6 million and $8 million related to these securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, were recorded in securities gains, net, non-qualifying hedges on mortgage servicing rights in the Bancorp’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no sales of securities related to the Bancorp’s non-qualifying hedging strategy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Service charges on deposits

Service charges on deposits increased $6 million and $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily driven by commercial deposit revenue which increased $4 million and $8 million compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in commercial deposit revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a pricing change implemented in 2012 and the acquisition of new customers. Additionally, the three months ended June 30, 2013 included an increase in treasury management fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, consumer deposit revenue increased $2 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in consumer checking fees due to new deposit product offerings partially offset by the elimination of daily overdraft fees on continuing consumer overdraft positions which took effect late in the second quarter of 2012.

Corporate banking revenue

Corporate banking revenue increased $4 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $7 million increase in syndication fees partially offset by a decrease of $3 million in institutional sales revenue. The increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to an increase in syndication fees and foreign exchange fees partially offset by a decrease in letter of credit fees.

Investment advisory revenue

Investment advisory revenue increased $5 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. The increase for both periods was primarily due to increased private client service fees, an increase in new customers, higher customer activity and increased securities and brokerage fees due to an increase in equity and bond market values partially offset by a decrease in mutual fund fees. Due to the sale of certain FTAM funds during the third quarter of 2012, mutual fund fees decreased $5 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year periods. The Bancorp had approximately $312.5 billion and $291.3 billion in total assets under care as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and managed $26.6 billion and $25.5 billion in assets, respectively, for individuals, corporations and not-for-profit organizations for the same comparative periods.

Card and processing revenue

Card and processing revenue increased $3 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase for both periods was primarily the result of higher transaction volumes, higher levels of consumer spending and the benefit of new products. Debit card interchange revenue, included in card and processing revenue, was $31 million and $59 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Other noninterest income increased $311 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 and $244 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase for both periods was primarily due to a $242 million gain on the sale of Vantiv, Inc. shares recorded in the second quarter of 2013. In addition, the positive valuation adjustments on the stock warrants associated with Vantiv Holding, LLC increased $20 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 from the comparable prior year periods. BOLI income increased $11 million and $13 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to a $10 million settlement in the second quarter of 2013 related to a previously surrendered BOLI policy. Additionally, the equity method earnings from the Bancorp’s interest in Vantiv Holding, LLC decreased $7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 and increased $34 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is due to the decrease in the Bancorp’s ownership percentage of Vantiv Holding, LLC from 39% as of June 30, 2012 to 28% as of June 30, 2013 primarily due to the share sales. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to $34 million in debt termination charges incurred in the first quarter of 2012 related to Vantiv Holding, LLC’s debt refinancing which was included in equity method earnings. The “other” caption increased $29 million and $25 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to $17 million in lower of cost or market adjustments associated with bank premises held-for-sale recorded in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, other noninterest income benefited from a $6 million and $17 million decrease in the loss related to the Visa total return swap for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

For additional information on the valuation of the swap associated with the sale of Visa, Inc. Class B shares and the valuation of warrants associated with Vantiv Holding, LLC, see Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense increased $98 million, or 10%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and $102 million, or five percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Total personnel costs increased $10 million and $13 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. The increase from both periods in the prior year reflected an increase in incentive compensation as a result of improved production levels in the current year and an increase in stock compensation expense. Full time equivalent employees totaled 20,569 at June 30, 2013 compared to 20,888 at June 30, 2012.

Total other noninterest expense increased $80 million and $75 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to increases in losses and adjustments and FDIC insurance and other taxes partially offset by an increase in the benefit recorded related to unfunded commitments and letters of credit.

Losses and adjustments increased $63 million and $60 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in losses and adjustments is primarily due to an increase in litigation expense of $53 million and $40 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year and due to a $10 million fraud loss recorded in the second quarter of 2013. The provision for representation and warranty claims, included in losses and adjustments, increased $5 million and $9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in the reserve as a result of additional information obtained from FHLMC in the second quarter of 2013 regarding future mortgage repurchase and file requests. As such, the Bancorp was able to better estimate the losses that are probable on loans sold to FHLMC with representation and warranty provisions. FDIC insurance and other taxes increased $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a $23 million expense reduction in the first quarter of 2012 from an agreement reached on certain outstanding disputes for non-income tax related assessments. In addition, the provision for unfunded commitments and letters of credit was a benefit of $2 million and $13 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a benefit of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in the benefit recorded in each period reflects a decrease in estimated loss rates related to unfunded commitments and letters of credit due to improved credit trends partially offset by an increase in unfunded commitments for which the Bancorp holds reserves. Additionally, affordable housing investments impairment increased $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to the benefit from the sale of affordable housing investments of $8 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $2 million in the second quarter of 2013.

The Bancorp continues to focus on efficiency initiatives as part of its core emphasis on operating leverage and expense control. The efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income (FTE) and noninterest income) was 53.2% and 56.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 59.4% and 58.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Applicable income tax expense for all periods includes the benefit from tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments, and certain gains on sales of leases that are exempt from federal taxation and tax credits, partially offset by the effect of certain nondeductible expenses. The tax credits are associated with the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program established under Section 42 of the IRC, the New Markets Tax Credit program established under Section 45D of the IRC, the Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit program established under Section 47 of the IRC, and the Qualified Zone Academy Bond program established under Section 1397E of the IRC.

As required under U.S. GAAP, the Bancorp established a deferred tax asset for stock-based awards granted to its employees. When the actual tax deduction for these stock-based awards is less than the expense previously recognized for financial reporting or when the awards expire unexercised, the Bancorp is required to write-off the deferred tax asset previously established for these stock-based awards. The stock-based awards granted to employees in March of 2003 had an exercise period that expired in March of 2013. As these stock-based awards were not exercised on or before their expiration date, the Bancorp was required to write-off the deferred tax asset established for these awards during the first quarter, which resulted in an additional $12 million of income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Bancorp recognized a similar non-cash charge during 2012; however, the non-cash charge was recognized during the second quarter of 2012. As a result of the Bancorp’s stock price as of June 30, 2013, it is probable that the Bancorp will be required to record an additional $2 million of income tax expense during the next twelve months, primarily in the second quarter of 2014. However, the Bancorp cannot predict its stock price or whether its employees will exercise other stock-based awards with lower exercise prices in the future; therefore, it is possible that the total impact to income tax expense will be greater than or less than this amount.

Loans and leases, including loans held for sale, increased $459 million, or one percent, from December 31, 2012. The increase from December 31, 2012 was comprised of an increase of $1.2 billion, or two percent, in commercial loans and leases partially offset by a decrease of $738 million, or two percent, in consumer loans and leases.

Commercial loans and leases increased from December 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in commercial and industrial loans partially offset by a decrease in commercial mortgage loans. Commercial and industrial loans increased $1.8 billion, or five percent, from December 31, 2012 as a result of an increase in new loan origination activity from an increase in demand due to a strengthening economy and targeted marketing efforts. Commercial mortgage loans decreased $666 million, or seven percent, from December 31, 2012 due to continued runoff as the level of new originations was less than the repayments of the existing portfolio.

Consumer loans and leases decreased from December 31, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in home equity and residential mortgage loans. Home equity decreased $487 million, or five percent, from December 31, 2012 as payoffs exceeded new loan production. Residential mortgage loans decreased $360 million, or two percent, due to sales of residential mortgage loans exceeding new loan originations. Excluding held for sale, residential mortgage loans increased $383 million from December 31, 2012 due to management’s decision to retain certain shorter term residential mortgage loans originated through the Bancorp’s retail branches. Additionally, automobile loans increased $43 million from December 31, 2012 due to an increase in originations, partially offset by the securitization and sale in the first quarter of 2013 of certain automobile loans with a carrying value of approximately $509 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

 

Average commercial loans and leases increased from June 30, 2012 primarily due to an increase in average commercial and industrial loans partially offset by a decrease in average commercial mortgage and average commercial construction loans. Average commercial and industrial loans increased $4.9 billion, or 15%, from June 30, 2012 due to an increase in new loan origination activity from an increase in demand due to a strengthening economy and targeted marketing efforts. Average commercial mortgage loans decreased $1.2 billion, or 13%, from June 30, 2012 and average commercial construction loans decreased $169 million, or 19%, from June 30, 2012 due to continued runoff as the level of new originations was less than the repayments on the current portfolio.

Average consumer loans and leases increased from June 30, 2012 due to an increase in average residential mortgage loans partially offset by a decrease in average home equity. Average residential mortgage loans increased $1.9 billion, or 15%, from June 30, 2012 due to an increase in originations as a result of a low interest rate environment and management’s decision to retain certain shorter term residential mortgage loans originated through the Bancorp’s retail branches. Average home equity decreased $805 million, or eight percent, from June 30, 2012 as payoffs exceeded new loan production.

Investment Securities

The Bancorp uses investment securities as a means of managing interest rate risk, providing liquidity support and providing collateral for pledging purposes. Total investment securities were $16.7 billion at June 30, 2013 and $15.7 billion at December 31, 2012.

Securities are classified as trading when bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Securities are classified as available-for-sale when, in management’s judgment, they may be sold in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in market conditions. Securities that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost.

At June 30, 2013, the Bancorp’s investment portfolio consisted primarily of AAA-rated available-for-sale securities. The Bancorp did not hold asset-backed securities backed by subprime mortgage loans in its investment portfolio. Additionally, securities classified as below investment grade had a carrying value of $1 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to $31 million as of December 31, 2012. The Bancorp’s management has evaluated the securities in an unrealized loss position in the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios for OTTI. The Bancorp recognized $12 million of OTTI on its available-for-sale investment securities portfolio during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $17 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The Bancorp did not recognize any OTTI on any of its held-to-maturity investment securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on OTTI.

(c) Other securities consist of FHLB and FRB restricted stock holdings that are carried at par, FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock holdings and certain mutual fund holdings and equity security holdings.

Available-for-sale securities on an amortized cost basis increased $1.2 billion, or eight percent, from December 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in agency mortgage-backed securities and other bonds, notes, and debentures partially offset by a decrease in U.S. Government sponsored agencies. Agency mortgage-backed securities increased $1.1 billion, or 13%, from December 31, 2012 due to $8.1 billion in purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities partially offset by $5.4 billion in sales and $1.6 billion in paydowns on the portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Other bonds, notes, and debentures increased $322 million, or 10%, due to the purchase of $919 million of asset backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and corporate bonds partially offset by the sale of $539 million of asset backed securities and corporate bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2013. U.S. Government sponsored agencies securities decreased $106 million, or six percent, primarily due to approximately $104 million of agency debentures that were called in June of 2013.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

 

Available-for-sale securities on an amortized cost basis were 15% and 14% of total interest-earning assets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The estimated weighted-average life of the debt securities in the available-for-sale portfolio was 5.5 years at June 30, 2013 compared to 3.8 years at December 31, 2012. In addition, at June 30, 2013, the available-for-sale securities portfolio had a weighted-average yield of 3.28%, compared to 3.30% at December 31, 2012.

Information presented in Table 14 is on a weighted-average life basis, anticipating future prepayments. Yield information is presented on an FTE basis and is computed using historical cost balances. Maturity and yield calculations for the total available-for-sale portfolio exclude equity securities that have no stated yield or maturity. Total net unrealized gains on the available-for-sale securities portfolio were $394 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $636 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease from December 31, 2012 was due to an increase in market yields on agency mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of investment securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions. The fair value of investment securities generally decreases when interest rates increase or when credit spreads widen.

Core deposits decreased $121 million from December 31, 2012 driven by a decrease of $222 million, or six percent, in other time deposits, partially offset by an increase of $101 million in transaction deposits. The decrease in other time deposits from December 31, 2012 was primarily the result of continued run-off of certificates of deposits due to the low interest rate environment, as customers have opted to maintain balances in more liquid transaction accounts. Total transaction deposits increased from December 31, 2012 due to an increase in money market deposits and foreign office deposits partially offset by a decrease in interest checking deposits and saving deposits. Money market deposits increased $2.4 billion, or 35%, from December 31, 2012 partially driven by account migration from savings deposits which decreased $1.4 billion, or seven percent. The remaining increase in money market deposits is due to an increase in consumer average balances per account. Interest checking deposits decreased $1.6 billion, or seven percent, due to account migration to demand deposit accounts. Demand deposit accounts remained relatively flat increasing $74 million from December 31, 2012. The account migration from interest checking deposits to demand deposit accounts was offset by balance migration to foreign office deposits, which increased $685 million, or 77%, from December 31, 2012 and a decrease in commercial average balances per account from December 31, 2012 due to uncertainty over tax increases and U.S. fiscal policy during the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Bancorp uses certificates $100,000 and over as a method to fund earning assets. At June 30, 2013, certificates $100,000 and over increased $4.1 billion compared to December 31, 2012 due to the diversification of funding sources through the issuance of retail and institutional certificates of deposits during the first half of 2013.

On an average basis, core deposits increased $3.6 billion, or four percent, from June 30, 2012 due to an increase of $4.1 billion, or five percent, in average transaction deposits partially offset by a decrease of $500 million, or 11%, in average other time deposits. The increase in average transaction deposits was driven by an increase in average demand deposits and average money market deposits partially offset by a decrease in average savings deposits and average interest checking deposits. Average demand deposits increased $3.3 billion, or 13%, from June 30, 2012 due to an increase in average balances per account for consumer customers, new product offerings, and new commercial deposit growth. Average money market deposits increased $4.7 billion from June 30, 2012 primarily due to account migration from average savings deposits which decreased $3.3 billion, or 15%, from June 30, 2012 and account migration from average interest checking deposits which decreased $752 million, or three percent. The remaining increase in average money market deposits is due to an increase in average balances per account. Average other time deposits decreased $500 million, or 11%, from June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of continued run-off of certificates of deposits due to the low interest rate environment, as customers have opted to maintain balances in more liquid transaction accounts. Average certificates $100,000 and over increased $3.4 billion from June 30, 2012 due to the diversification of funding sources through the issuance of retail and institutional certificates of deposits during the first half of 2013.

Other time deposits and certificates $100,000 and over totaled $11.2 billion and $7.3 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. All of these deposits were interest-bearing.

Borrowings

Total borrowings decreased $4.6 billion, or 32%, from December 31, 2012. Table 19 summarizes the end of period components of total borrowings. As of June 30, 2013, total borrowings as a percentage of interest-bearing liabilities were 13% compared to 19% at December 31, 2012.

Federal funds purchased decreased by $265 million, or 29%, from December 31, 2012 driven by a decrease in excess balances in reserve accounts held at Federal Reserve Banks that the Bancorp purchased from other member banks on an overnight basis. Other short-term borrowings decreased $4.2 billion, or 66%, from December 31, 2012 driven by a decrease of $4.1 billion in short-term FHLB borrowings. The level of these borrowings can fluctuate significantly from period to period depending on funding needs and which sources are used to satisfy those needs. Long-term debt decreased by $145 million, or two percent, from December 31, 2012 primarily driven by the maturity of $750 million and $500 million of senior notes in the second quarter of 2013 and $191 million of declines due to fair value adjustments on hedged subordinated debt partially offset by the issuance of $1.3 billion of unsecured senior bank notes in the first quarter of 2013. For additional information regarding long-term debt, see Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Average total borrowings decreased $3.4 billion, or 24%, compared to June 30, 2012, primarily due to decreases in average long-term debt and average other short-term borrowings partially offset by an increase in federal funds purchased. The decrease in average long-term debt was driven by the redemption of certain TruPS and long-term FHLB borrowings in the second half of 2012 partially offset by the issuance of $1.3 billion of unsecured senior bank notes in the first quarter of 2013. The level of average federal funds purchased and average other short-term borrowings can fluctuate significantly from period to period depending on funding needs and which sources are used to satisfy those needs. Information on the average rates paid on borrowings is discussed in the net interest income section of the MD&A. In addition, refer to the Liquidity Risk Management section for a discussion on the role of borrowings in the Bancorp’s liquidity management.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

The Bancorp reports on four business segments: Commercial Banking, Branch Banking, Consumer Lending and Investment Advisors. Additional detailed financial information on each business segment is included in Note 21 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Results of the Bancorp’s business segments are presented based on its management structure and management accounting practices. The structure and accounting practices are specific to the Bancorp; therefore, the financial results of the Bancorp’s business segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial institutions. The Bancorp refines its methodologies from time to time as management’s accounting practices or businesses change.

The Bancorp manages interest rate risk centrally at the corporate level and employs a FTP methodology at the business segment level. This methodology insulates the business segments from interest rate volatility, enabling them to focus on serving customers through loan and deposit products. The FTP system assigns charge rates and credit rates to classes of assets and liabilities, respectively, based on expected duration and the U.S. swap curve. Matching duration allocates interest income and interest expense to each segment so its resulting net interest income is insulated from interest rate risk. In a rising rate environment, the Bancorp benefits from the widening spread between deposit costs and wholesale funding costs. However, the Bancorp’s FTP system credits this benefit to deposit-providing businesses, such as Branch Banking and Investment Advisors, on a duration-adjusted basis. The net impact of the FTP methodology is captured in General Corporate and Other.

The Bancorp adjusts the FTP charge and credit rates as dictated by changes in interest rates for various interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and by the review of the estimated durations for the indeterminate-lived deposits. The credit rate provided for demand deposit accounts is reviewed annually based upon the account type, its estimated duration and the corresponding fed funds, U.S. swap curve or swap rate. The credit rates for several deposit products were reset January 1, 2013 to reflect the current market rates and updated duration assumptions. These rates were generally higher than those in place during 2012, thus net interest income for deposit providing businesses was positively impacted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

The business segments are charged provision expense based on the actual net charge-offs experienced on the loans and leases owned by each segment. Provision expense attributable to loan and lease growth and changes in ALLL factors are captured in General Corporate and Other. The financial results of the business segments include allocations for shared services and headquarters expenses. Even with these allocations, the financial results are not necessarily indicative of the business segments’ financial condition and results of operations as if they existed as independent entities. Additionally, the business segments form synergies by taking advantage of cross-sell opportunities and when funding operations by accessing the capital markets as a collective unit.

Net income by business segment is summarized in the following table:
