From Tim Spence, Fifth Third Chairman, CEO and President: |
Fifth Third's financial results once again demonstrated our resilient profitability, well-managed liquidity, and diversified revenue streams.
Our core deposit funded balance sheet generated improved net interest income and margin. Our strong liquidity position continues to provide flexibility to navigate through uncertain economic and regulatory environments. Our net charge-offs were as expected for the quarter and our nonperforming assets decreased.
We continue to invest in our Southeast expansion, Commercial Payments, and Wealth and Asset Management businesses, leading to continued strong acquisition of new quality relationships in commercial and consumer households. We remain disciplined in managing expenses, which were well managed from the prior year.
Our strong and stable returns resulted in achieving our capital targets during the second quarter, which enabled us to execute a $125 million share repurchase in June while continuing to grow our capital.
We remain well-positioned to respond to a range of economic outcomes and will continue to adhere to our guiding principles of stability, profitability, and growth - in that order.

Compared to the prior quarter, NII increased $3 million. Excluding the $5 million reduction related to the customer remediations, NII was up $8 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting the increased yields on new production of fixed-rate consumer loans and higher C&I loan yields, partially offset by lower average commercial loan balances and continued, but slowing, mix shift from demand deposits to interest-bearing accounts. Compared to the prior quarter, NIM increased 2 bps. Excluding the aforementioned customer remediations, NIM increased 3 bps, primarily reflecting the net benefit of higher market rates and higher loan yields, partially offset by commercial demand deposit runoff. NIM results continue to be impacted by the decision to carry elevated liquidity given the environment, with the combination of cash and other short-term investments of approximately $24 billion at quarter-end.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII decreased $70 million, or 5%. Excluding the aforementioned customer remediations, NII decreased $65 million, or 4%, reflecting the impact of higher funding costs and deposit mix shift from demand to interest-bearing accounts, partially offset by higher loan yields. Compared to the year-ago quarter, NIM decreased 22 bps. Excluding the aforementioned customer remediations, NIM decreased 21 bps, reflecting the impact of higher market rates and their effects on deposit pricing and the decision to carry additional cash, partially offset by higher loan yields.
