Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed May 7, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) reported a net income of $520 milliona for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease from $558 million in the same period last year.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.70b, down from $0.78 year-over-year. Net interest income on a FTE basis declined by 9% to $1.4 billion, primarily due to higher funding costs resulting from increased market interest rates and a migration of deposits into higher-yielding products. Despite the decline in net interest income, noninterest income saw a modest increase of 2%, driven by growth in wealth and asset management revenue and service charges on deposits.
However, this was partially offset by decreases in commercial banking and mortgage banking revenue. The provision for credit losses decreased significantly by 43% to $94 millionc, reflecting improved economic forecasts and lower period-end loan balances.
The Bancorp maintained strong capital ratios, with its CET1 capital ratio at 10.47% as of March 31, 2024, well above regulatory requirements. The Bancorp also announced an incremental expense of $33 milliond related to the FDIC's special assessment, bringing the total estimated special assessment to $257 million, to be paid over eight quarters.

Fifth Third Bancorp maintained a strong capital position. Its CET1 capital ratio stood at 10.47% as of March 31, 2024, exceeding regulatory requirements and the stress capital buffer requirement.
What impact did the FDIC's special assessment have on the Bancorp's earnings?
The Bancorp recorded an incremental expense of $33 million in the first quarter of 2024 related to the FDIC's special assessment. This brings the total estimated special assessment to $257 million, which is being paid over eight quarterly periods.
What is the Bancorp's outlook for Net Interest Margin (NIM)?
The Bancorp expects NIM to modestly increase over the next several quarters, driven by fixed-rate asset repricing and deposit growth.
