Comments from Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun |
“We started off 2022 with solid financial performance, as strong net interest income, good expense discipline and excellent credit helped to offset the macro environment’s impact on Capital Markets and Mortgage revenue,” said Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. “We were pleased to close both the HSBC branch and the Investors Bancorp acquisitions, and look forward to building out a strong franchise in the New York City Metro market. Our strategic initiatives are on track, which should drive relative out-performance in the future. During the quarter, we actively managed our balance sheet strategies, and we feel well-positioned to benefit from the market expectations for significant rate rises. Our refreshed guidance demonstrates

confidence in our outlook for a strong 2022.”

Net interest income of $1.1 billion increased 2% given loan growth and higher net interest margin, partially offset by the reduced benefit from PPP forgiveness (~$23 million) and the impact of lower day count (~$18 million).
•Net interest margin of 2.75% increased 9 basis points reflecting the deployment of cash into loan growth, and higher earning-asset yields, partially offset by a reduced benefit from PPP forgiveness (~(4) bps). Interest-bearing deposit costs were down 3 basis points to 10 basis points.
First quarter 2022 | vs. | first quarter 2021 |
Net interest income of $1.1 billion increased 3%, reflecting 3% growth in interest-earning assets and broadly stable net interest margin.
•Net interest margin of 2.75% decreased 1 basis point as the impact of lower earning-asset yields was largely offset by the deployment of cash into loan growth. Interest-bearing deposit costs decreased to 10 basis points from 20 basis points.

First quarter 2022 | vs. | fourth quarter 2021 |
Noninterest income of $498 million decreased $96 million, or 16%, from $594 million.
•Capital markets fees decreased $91 million from a record level in fourth quarter 2021 reflecting lower M&A advisory, underwriting and loan syndication fees given market volatility, seasonal impacts and some pull-forward of transactions into fourth quarter 2021.
•Record foreign exchange and derivative products revenue increased $16 million, reflecting increased client interest rate and commodities hedging activity.
•Mortgage banking fees decreased $7 million, reflecting a decline in gain-on-sale margins and seasonally lower production volume, partially offset by improved mortgage servicing income.
•Card fees and service charges and fees decreased $5 million and $2 million, respectively, reflecting seasonal impacts.
•Other income decreased $8 million, primarily reflecting lower leasing income.
First quarter 2022 | vs. | first quarter 2021 |
Noninterest income of $498 million decreased $44 million, or 8%, primarily reflecting lower mortgage banking fees.
•Mortgage banking fees decreased $96 million, driven by lower gain-on-sale margins and production volumes.
•Record foreign exchange and derivative products revenue increased $23 million reflecting increased client interest rate and commodities hedging activity.
•Capital markets fees increased $12 million. Excluding acquisitions, results reflect lower M&A advisory and underwriting fees, partially offset by higher loan syndication fees. First quarter 2022 includes $21 million of fees from acquisitions closed during the second half of 2021.
•Card fees increased $5 million, driven by higher debit and credit card volumes.
•Trust and investment services fees increased $3 million, reflecting an increase in assets under management from strong net inflows and higher equity market levels.
•Service charges and fees decreased $1 million, reflecting the impact on overdraft fees of the new customer-friendly deposit account feature, Citizens Peace of MindTM, introduced in fourth quarter 2021, partially offset by higher transaction volumes.

First quarter 2022 | vs. | fourth quarter 2021 |
Noninterest expense of $1.1 billion was up 4%, or up 5% on an Underlying basis given higher salaries and employee benefits, reflecting seasonal increases in payroll taxes and 401k costs, partially offset by lower incentive compensation tied to lower capital markets revenue. Underlying noninterest expense for first quarter 2022 includes $13 million tied to the HSBC transaction. Excluding the impact of the HSBC transaction and other acquisitions closed in the second half of 2021, Underlying noninterest expense was up 3%. Results reflect strong expense discipline and the benefit of efficiency initiatives.
The effective tax rate of 21.7% was broadly stable. On an Underlying basis, the effective tax rate of 21.7% compares with 22.6% for fourth quarter 2021.
First quarter 2022 | vs. | first quarter 2021 |
Noninterest expense of $1.1 billion remains well-controlled. Excluding acquisitions, on an Underlying basis, noninterest expense increased 2% reflecting higher salaries and employee benefits, as well as higher other operating expense associated with increased travel and advertising costs, partially offset by the benefit of efficiency initiatives.
The effective tax rate of 21.7% was broadly stable. On an Underlying basis, the effective tax rate of 21.7% decreased from 21.8%.

Period-end interest-earning assets of $170.6 billion increased $1.6 billion, or 1% as a $3.1 billion increase in loans and leases and a $1.1 billion increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits was largely offset by a $1.7 billion decrease in loans held for sale and a $926 million decrease in investments.

Average interest-earning assets of $169.3 billion increased $1.3 billion, or 1%, as a $3.9 billion increase in loans and a $1.1 billion increase in investments was offset by a $3.1 billion decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits reflecting the partial deployment of elevated liquidity. Loan growth of 3% was driven by a $2.3 billion, or 3%, growth in retail, led by mortgage, auto and home equity, and growth in commercial of $1.7 billion, or 3%, driven by C&I. Excluding PPP impact, average commercial loan growth was 4%.

Loan growth of 7% was driven by an $8.0 billion, or 13%, increase in retail given strength in mortgage, auto, education and home equity, partially offset by planned run off of personal unsecured installment loans. Commercial loans increased $1.1 billion, or 2%, as underlying growth in C&I was largely offset by a $4.7 billion decrease in PPP loans. Excluding PPP impact, commercial loan growth was 11%.
Average interest-earning assets of $169.3 billion increased $4.9 billion, or 3%, as a $2.2 billion increase in investments and a $6.3 billion increase in loans was partly offset by a $2.8 billion decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits reflecting the partial deployment of elevated liquidity.

•Net charge-offs of $59 million, or 19 basis points of average loans and leases, were up slightly from prior quarter.

First quarter 2022 | vs. | first quarter 2021 |

•Net charge-offs of 19 basis points of average loans and leases compares with 52 basis points in first quarter 2021.
•Underlying credit provision benefit of $21 million compares with a $140 million benefit in first quarter 2021, reflecting strong credit performance across the retail and commercial loan portfolios and improvement in the economy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This document contains non-GAAP financial measures denoted as Underlying results, excluding HSBC, excluding acquisitions and excluding PPP. Underlying results for any given reporting period exclude certain items that may occur in that period which Management does not consider indicative of the Company’s on-going financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by our Management to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe our Underlying results in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance in that period and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. We further believe the presentation of Underlying results increases comparability of period-to-period results. See the following pages for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by such companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding potential future share repurchases and future dividends as well as the potential effects of the COVID-19 disruption on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects, are forward-looking statements. Also, any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “targets,” “initiatives,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook,” “guidance” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.”
Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management, and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:
•Negative economic and political conditions that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits which may affect, among other things, the level of nonaccrual assets, charge-offs and provision expense;
•The rate of growth in the economy and employment levels, as well as general business and economic conditions, and changes in the competitive environment;
•Our ability to implement our business strategy, including the cost savings and efficiency components, and achieve our financial performance goals, including through the integration of Investors and the HSBC branches;
•The COVID-19 disruption and its effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate;
•Our ability to meet heightened supervisory requirements and expectations;
•Liabilities and business restrictions resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations;
•Our capital and liquidity requirements under regulatory capital standards and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
•The effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale;
•Changes in interest rates and market liquidity, as well as the magnitude of such changes, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets;
•The effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
•Financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses;
•A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks;
•Greater than expected costs or other difficulties related to the integration of our business and that of Investors and the relevant HSBC branches;
•The inability to retain existing Investors or HSBC clients and employees following the closing of the Investors and HSBC branch acquisitions; and
•Management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the actual amounts and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, risk-weighted assets, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions and regulatory and accounting considerations, as well as any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares from or pay any dividends to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or dividends. Further, statements about the effects of the COVID-19 disruption on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual impacts may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the

pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and us.
More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found under “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
