Fifth Third Bancorp is a diversified financial services company that operates through three main businesses: Commercial Banking, Consumer and Small Business Banking, and Wealth & Asset Management. It is among the largest money managers in the Midwest, with a geographic presence in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The company's competitive advantages include a strong regional presence and a wide range of financial products and services.
Net interest income (U.S. GAAP) decreased from $1.517 billion to $1.384 billion YoY, a 9% decline, primarily due to higher funding costs resulting from increases in market interest rates and deposit balance migration into higher yielding products. This is a key driver of the decrease in overall profitability.
Noninterest income increased $14 million YoY, reaching $710 million, driven by increases in other noninterest income, wealth and asset management revenue, and service charges on deposits. This partially offset declines in commercial banking revenue, leasing business revenue and mortgage banking net revenue.
The provision for credit losses decreased from $164 million to $94 million YoY. This was affected by factors which caused a slight decrease in the ACL from December 31, 2023, including improvement in the economic forecasts used to calculate the ACL and lower period-end loan and lease balances, partially offset by increases in specific reserves on individually evaluated commercial loans.
