FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
NET INCOME OF $313.3 MILLION, EARNINGS PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE OF $1.46

Return on Average Common Equity of 12.2%
Strong Balance Sheet and Capital Strength to Meet Client and Community Needs
CHICAGO, JULY 22, 2020 — Northern Trust Corporation today reported second quarter net income per diluted common share of $1.46, compared to $1.75 in the second quarter of 2019 and $1.55 in the first quarter of 2020. Net income was $313.3 million, compared to $389.4 million in the prior-year quarter and $360.6 million in the prior quarter.
        “Northern Trust’s performance in the second quarter of 2020 resulted in revenue consistent with the prior year, diluted earnings per share of $1.46, and a return on average common equity of 12.2%,” said Michael O’Grady, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Non-interest-related revenue grew 4% compared to the prior year and offset an 11% decline in net interest income reflecting the low interest rate environment. Expense in the quarter increased 3% from the prior year. As announced yesterday, our Board of Directors maintained our dividend of $0.70 per share for the third quarter, reflecting the strength of our capital position and balance sheet.”
        O’Grady added, “We continue to focus on serving the needs of our clients, the communities of which we are a part and our employees as we navigate the ongoing pandemic and related environment. As a part of this effort, during the quarter we announced a commitment to provide $20 million over 5 years to expand access to resources that address essential human needs, including food, housing, healthcare and education, to bridge the gap that threatens the broader prosperity of our society. We will continue to work closely with the communities we serve through philanthropic contributions, community investments and employee volunteer service.”

Foreign exchange trading income decreased primarily due to lower client volumes.
Security commissions and trading income decreased primarily due to lower revenue from interest rate swaps and core brokerage revenue.
Other operating income increased primarily due to an increase in the market value adjustment for a seed capital investment and higher miscellaneous income, partially offset by higher expenses for existing swap agreements related to Visa Inc. Class B common shares. The higher miscellaneous income was primarily associated with a market value increase in the supplemental compensation plans, which also resulted in a related increase in staff-related expenses in other operating expense.

Q2 2020 vs. Q2 2019

Foreign exchange trading income increased primarily due to increased market volatility and higher client volumes.
Security commissions and trading income increased primarily due to higher core brokerage and referral fee revenue.
Other operating income increased primarily due to higher miscellaneous income, an increase in the market value adjustment for a seed capital investment, and income related to a bank-owned life insurance program implemented during the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by higher expenses for existing swap agreements related to Visa Inc. Class B common shares and lower non-trading-related foreign exchange income. The higher miscellaneous income was primarily associated with a market value increase in the supplemental compensation plans, which also resulted in a related increase in staff-related expenses in other operating expense.

Q2 2020
The provision in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by downgrades in the portfolio and more severe projected economic conditions, both resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts, with the largest increases in the commercial and institutional and commercial real estate portfolios.
Q1 2020
The provision in the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by the then current and projected economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related market and economic impacts, with the largest increase in the commercial and institutional and commercial real estate portfolios.
The Corporation adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13) on January 1, 2020, which significantly changes the way impairment of financial instruments is recognized by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of financial instruments. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, Northern Trust recorded a $13.7 million increase in the allowance for credit losses with a corresponding cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings $10.1 million, net of income taxes.
Q2 2019
The credit provision in the prior-year quarter was primarily driven by a decrease in the allowance for the residential real estate portfolio driven by improved credit quality, partially offset by increases for the private client and commercial portfolios driven by lower credit quality, which resulted in a net reduction in the inherent allowance.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Average total stockholders’ equity increased $503.3 million, or 5%, to $11.0 billion from the prior-year quarter’s average of $10.5 billion. The increase was primarily attributable to earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income since the prior-year period, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share repurchase program and dividend declarations.
During the current quarter, the Corporation declared cash dividends totaling $4.8 million to preferred stockholders and cash dividends totaling $148.2 million to common stockholders. As the Corporation suspended its open-market share repurchase program on March 16, 2020, the only shares repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were 3,349 shares of common stock withheld upon the vesting of share-based compensation at a total cost of $0.2 million ($79.19 average price per share) to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation repurchased 3,244,087 shares of common stock, including 500,211 shares withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of $297.0 million ($91.55 average price per share).

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT


The following table presents a reconciliation of interest income, net interest income, net interest margin, and total revenue prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to such measures on an FTE basis, which are non-generally accepted accounting financial measures. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Management believes this presentation provides a clearer indication of these financial measures for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.
