"We are very pleased with our performance this quarter, which included record net earnings for the second consecutive quarter," said Steve Steinour, chairman, president and CEO. "We successfully executed on our business strategies, delivering robust loan growth, higher deposit balances, and expanded fee income. These results, and the benefit from the higher interest rate environment, combined to produce sequential pre-provision net revenue growth of 14% for the quarter when excluding Notable Items.

"We continue to make strategic investments to drive sustainable revenue growth, which resulted in broad-based commercial loan growth across geographies and sectors. Our recent addition of Capstone Partners has expanded the expertise we bring to customers, benefiting our deepening efforts with commercial customers and bolstering our fee income opportunities. In the consumer bank this quarter, we implemented additional Fair Play enhancements that offer a compelling value proposition for customers.

"Credit continues to perform very well with five consecutive quarters of declining nonperforming assets, reflecting our aggregate moderate-to-low risk appetite through the cycle. Capital levels increased during the quarter and credit reserves are robust allowing us to continue supporting customers and economic growth in the communities we serve. Looking forward, we are well positioned with a high quality balance sheet, and earnings power to drive long-term performance and generate significant value for our shareholders in a variety of economic scenarios.

"Finally, Huntington is proud to have been ranked as the largest Small Business Administration 7(a) lender by volume nationally for the fifth consecutive year. This reinforces our commitment to support small businesses and reflects the successful efforts to expand into new geographies, such as Colorado and Minnesota where we are already rank first and third, respectively."
