Summary

Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) reported its third quarter 2023 financial results, showing a slight year-over-year decrease in net income available to common shareholders to $623 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to $631 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, in the prior year's quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income available to common shareholders increased to $1.7 billion, or $2.50 per diluted share, up from $1.6 billion, or $2.34 per diluted share, in the same period of the prior year. The bank experienced a decrease in net interest income on an FTE basis by 4% to $1.4 billion for the quarter, primarily driven by higher funding costs and a migration of deposits into higher-yielding products. This was partially offset by increased yields on loans and leases and other short-term investments. Noninterest income saw a 6% increase to $715 million, primarily due to lower net securities losses and higher commercial banking revenue, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage banking net revenue. Total noninterest expense rose 2% to $1.19 billion for the quarter, driven by increases in compensation and benefits, technology and communications, and net occupancy expenses. The Bancorp's CET1 capital ratio remained strong at 9.80%, exceeding regulatory requirements. Management highlighted increased focus on deposit growth and prudent liquidity management amidst a volatile economic environment.
