Net interest income of $892 million on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $40 million from the first quarter, driven by earning asset growth and lower deposit costs. Additionally, net interest income was positively impacted by $7 million due to an extra day in the quarter. These benefits were partially offset by continued repricing in our loan portfolio and the effect of the TDR sale in the first quarter of 2015.

The net interest margin was 2.90 percent, an increase of 4 bps from the previous quarter primarily driven by a 6 basis point benefit due to deployment of cash balances into investment securities, 3 basis points due to better funding rates including the continued rationalization of deposit rates, partially offset by 4 basis points of loan yield compression and a 1 basis point decrease primarily due to day count.

Compared with the second quarter of 2014, net interest income decreased $13 million and the net interest margin decreased 25 bps. The decline in net interest income was driven by the impact of changes to the Bancorp’s deposit advance product that were effective January 1, 2015, higher interest expense due to increased long-term debt balances, as well as continued loan repricing, partially offset by the impact of higher investment securities balances. The decline in the net interest margin from the prior year was primarily driven by the impact of the changes to the deposit advance product and loan repricing.

Securities

Average securities and other short-term investments were $30.6 billion in the second quarter of 2015 compared with $29.0 billion in the previous quarter and $23.9 billion in the second quarter of 2014. Other short-term investments average balances of $3.2 billion decreased $2.7 billion sequentially reflecting lower cash balances held at the Federal Reserve. On an end of period basis, securities balances of $28.5 billion increased $1.5 billion driven by purchases of securities that were funded with cash balances at the Federal Reserve held in other short-term investments.

Average loan and lease balances (excluding loans held-for-sale) increased $1.7 billion, or 2 percent, sequentially and increased $1.6 billion, or 2 percent, from the second quarter of 2014. The sequential and prior year increases in average loans and leases were driven by increased commercial and industrial (C&I), commercial construction, and residential mortgage balances, partially offset by decreased home equity balances. Period end loans and leases (excluding loans held-for-sale) of $92.7 billion increased $1.5 billion, or 2 percent, sequentially and increased $2.2 billion, or 2 percent, from a year ago.

Average commercial portfolio loan and lease balances increased $1.4 billion, or 3 percent, sequentially and increased $1.8 billion, or 3 percent, from the second quarter of 2014. Average C&I loans increased $1.1 billion from the prior quarter and increased $1.2 billion from the second quarter of 2014. Within commercial real estate, average commercial mortgage balances continued to decline and average commercial construction balances increased due to continued focus on that business. Commercial line usage, on an end of period basis, was 33 percent of committed lines in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 32 percent in the first quarter of 2015 and 32 percent in the second quarter of 2014.

Average consumer portfolio loan and lease balances increased $221 million, or 1 percent, sequentially and decreased $223 million, or 1 percent, year-over-year. Average residential mortgage loans increased 3 percent sequentially and 2 percent from a year ago. Average auto loans were flat sequentially and down 1 percent from the previous year. Average home equity loans declined 2 percent sequentially and 5 percent from the second quarter of 2014. Average credit card loans decreased 1 percent sequentially and increased 3 percent from the second quarter of 2014.

Average loans held-for-sale balances of $566 million decreased $585 million sequentially primarily due to the full quarter impact from the sale of certain residential mortgage loans classified as troubled debt restructurings sold in the first quarter and decreased $126 million compared with the second quarter of 2014. Period end loans held-for-sale of $995 million increased $271 million from the previous quarter and $313 million from the second quarter of 2014.

Average core deposits increased $2.3 billion, or 2 percent, sequentially and increased $7.7 billion, or 8 percent, from the second quarter of 2014. Average transaction deposits increased $2.3 billion, or 2 percent, from the first quarter of 2015 primarily driven by higher demand deposit and money market account balances. Year-over-year transaction deposits increased $7.3 billion, or 8 percent, driven by higher money market account, demand deposit, and interest checking balances, partially offset by lower savings and foreign office balances. Other time deposits increased 1 percent sequentially and 10 percent compared with the second quarter of 2014.

Average commercial transaction deposits increased 4 percent sequentially and 12 percent from the previous year. Sequential performance was primarily driven by higher demand and money market account balances. Year-over-year growth reflected higher demand deposit, interest checking, and money market balances, partially offset by lower foreign office balances.

Average consumer transaction deposits increased 1 percent sequentially and increased 5 percent from the second quarter of 2014. The sequential performance reflected higher demand deposit balances. Year-over-year growth was driven by increased money market account balances, partially offset by lower savings balances.

Average wholesale funding of $18.4 billion decreased $543 million, or 3 percent, sequentially and decreased $842 million, or 4 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease was driven by a decline in long-term debt due to pay-downs from securitizations and the maturation of $500 million of bank-level subordinated debt in the middle of the first quarter, as well as a decrease in certificates $100,000 and over, partially offset by an increase in short-term borrowings. The year-over-year decrease in average wholesale funding reflected an increase in long-term debt due to issuances during 2014, partially offset by a decrease in certificates $100,000 and over and short-term borrowings.

Noninterest income of $556 million decreased $74 million sequentially and decreased $180 million compared with prior year results. The second quarter of 2015 included a $97 million non-cash impairment charge related to previously announced changes in the branch network, which was slightly higher than the original estimate due to the receipt of updated third party appraisals and the inclusion of five additional branches. These actions are expected to be complete by mid-2016, and the expected annualized reduction in operating expenses associated with these actions is now expected to be $65 million, higher by $5 million as a result of the additions. In addition to the impairment, the sequential and year-over-year comparisons also reflect the impacts described below.

Noninterest income excluding certain items	$	637		$	566		$	585			13	%		9	%

Excluding the items in the table above, noninterest income of $637 million increased $71 million, or 13 percent, from the previous quarter and increased $52 million, or 9 percent, from the second quarter of 2014. The sequential increase was primarily due to increases in corporate banking revenue and mortgage banking net revenue. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher mortgage banking net revenue.

Service charges on deposits of $139 million increased 3 percent from the first quarter and were flat compared with the same quarter last year. The sequential increase was due to a 5 percent increase in retail service charges due to higher overdraft occurrences as well as a 1 percent increase in commercial service charges.

Corporate banking revenue of $113 million increased $50 million from the first quarter of 2015 and increased $6 million from the second quarter of 2014. First quarter of 2015 results included a $30 million impairment associated with aircraft leases and excluding this charge, the sequential increase was primarily due to improvement in institutional sales revenue and higher syndication fees. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher institutional sales revenue and business lending fees, partially offset by lower syndication fees.

Mortgage banking net revenue was $117 million in the second quarter of 2015, up 36 percent from the first quarter of 2015 and up 50 percent from the second quarter of 2014. Second quarter 2015 originations were seasonally strong at $2.5 billion, compared with $1.8 billion in the previous quarter and $2.0 billion in the second quarter of 2014. Second quarter 2015 originations resulted in gains of $43 million on mortgages sold, compared with gains of $44 million during the previous quarter and $42 million during the second quarter of 2014. Mortgage servicing fees were $56 million this quarter, $59 million in the first quarter of 2015, and $62 million in the second quarter of 2014. Mortgage banking net revenue is also affected by net servicing asset valuation adjustments, which include mortgage servicing rights (MSR) amortization and MSR valuation adjustments (including mark-to-market adjustments on free-standing derivatives used to economically hedge the MSR portfolio). These net servicing asset valuation adjustments were positive $18 million in the second quarter of 2015 (reflecting MSR amortization of $39 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $57 million); negative $17 million in the first quarter of 2015 (MSR amortization of $34 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $17 million); and negative $26 million in the second quarter of 2014 (MSR amortization of $32 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $6 million). The mortgage servicing asset, net of the valuation reserve, was $854 million at quarter end on a servicing portfolio of $62 billion.

Investment advisory revenue of $105 million decreased 3 percent from the first quarter and increased 3 percent year-over-year. The sequential decrease was attributable to seasonally lower tax-related private client services revenue, partially offset by an increase in securities and brokerage fees due to a continued shift from transaction-based fees to recurring revenue streams. The year-over-year increase reflected an increase in securities and brokerage fees and an increase in personal asset management fees due to market-related growth.

Card and processing revenue of $77 million in the second quarter of 2015 increased 8 percent sequentially and increased 1 percent from the second quarter of 2014. The sequential increase reflected higher transaction volumes compared with seasonally weak first quarter volumes. The year-over-year increase reflects an increase in the number of actively used cards and an increase in customer spend volume.

Other noninterest income totaled $1 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $163 million in the previous quarter and $226 million in the second quarter of 2014. As previously described, the results included the adjustments in the table above with the exception of securities gains in all comparable periods and the impairment of aircraft leases in the first quarter of 2015, which is recorded in corporate banking revenue. Excluding these items, other noninterest income of $86 million increased approximately $13 million, or 18 percent, from the first quarter of 2015 and increased approximately $3 million, or 4 percent, from the second quarter of 2014.

Net gains on investment securities were $4 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $4 million in the previous quarter and $8 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Noninterest expense of $947 million increased 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2015 and decreased 1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2014. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher incentive-based compensation expenses, partially offset by a decrease in FICA and unemployment tax expense recorded in employee benefits. Additionally, the sequential comparison reflected the first quarter benefit from a settlement of a tax liability related to prior years recorded in other noninterest expense. The year-over-year decrease reflected lower charges to litigation reserves, partially offset by higher compensation expense.

As previously announced, Fifth Third entered into a share repurchase agreement with a counterparty on April 27, 2015, whereby Fifth Third would purchase approximately $155 million of its outstanding common stock. This transaction reduced Fifth Third’s second quarter share count by 6.7 million shares on April 30, 2015. Settlement of the forward contract related to this agreement is expected to occur on or before July 28, 2015. In addition, the settlement of the forward contract related to the January 22, 2015 $180 million share repurchase agreement occurred on April 23, 2015. An additional 1.1 million shares were repurchased upon completion of the agreement. In total, the incremental impact to the average diluted share count in the second quarter of 2015 was approximately 7.96 million shares due to share repurchase transactions in the second quarter and first quarter of 2015.

(1)

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.

(2)

The Bancorp became subject to the Basel III Final Rule on January 1, 2015. This codified in the federal banking regulations the risk-based capital ratios the Bancorp is now subject to, as such these ratios are no longer considered Non-GAAP measures.

(3)

Primarily relates to disallowed intangible assets (other than goodwill and MSRs, net of associated deferred tax liabilities).

(4)

Primarily relates to higher risk-weighting for MSRs.
