Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights

  • Net interest margin increased 22 basis points quarter-over-quarter driven by the absence of the Q3 U.K. PPI Reserve build impact, changes in asset mix, and seasonal loan growth
  • Net interest margin remained flat year-over-year as lower yields on interest-earning assets were largely offset by lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities

Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights

  • Ending loans up $4.2 billion, or 6%, year- over-year; average loans up $4.5 billion, or 6%, year-over-year
  • Ending deposits up $2.7 billion, or 9%, year-over-year; average deposits up $1.4 billion, or 4%, year-over-year
  • Revenue up $50 million, or 7%, year-over- year

  • Provision for credit losses up $53 million year-over-year
  • Net charge-off rate of 0.35%
  • Criticized performing loan rate of 2.9% and criticized nonperforming loan rate of 0.6%
  1. In the first quarter of 2019, we made a change in how revenue is measured by revising the allocation of tax benefits on certain tax- advantaged investments. As such, prior period results have been recast to conform with the current period presentation, which reduced previously reported total net revenue by $20 million in Q4 2018, with an offsetting increase in the Other category.
  2. Criticized exposures correspond to the "Special Mention," "Substandard" and "Doubtful" asset categories defined by bank regulatory

authorities.
