"Fourth quarter, excluding a nearly $1 billion decrease in PPP loans, average loans grew more than $600 million and we continued to drive very strong deposit growth. Robust fee income, exceptional credit quality and continued active capital management were also positive contributors to our performance.

"Our 2021 financial results were strong as we generated record earnings per share of $8.35. Average deposits grew 19 percent, which supported solid loan performance in a number of businesses and provided significant excess liquidity to fund future growth. Revenue increased to $3.0 billion. While net interest income was challenged by the ultra-low-rate environment, noninterest income growth was broad-based, increasing 12 percent to an all-time high. Credit quality was excellent, and we released credit reserves. As a result of strong capital generation, we returned $1.1 billion to common shareholders through dividends and repurchases of 9.5 million, or 7 percent, of total shares. Altogether, this drove ROE to over 15 percent and ROA to 1.30 percent."
