NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER
NET INCOME OF $389.3 MILLION, EARNINGS PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE OF $1.77
Total Revenue
$1.7 billion
Return on Average Common Equity 14.2%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital 11.4%
CHICAGO, APRIL 26, 2022 — Northern Trust Corporation today reported first quarter net income per diluted common share of $1.77, compared to $1.91 in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $1.70 in the first quarter of 2021. Net income was $389.3 million, compared to $406.4 million in the prior quarter and $375.1 million in the prior-year quarter.
MICHAEL O’GRADY, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER:
“Northern Trust revenue increased 9% in the first quarter of 2022 versus last year and generated a return on average common equity of 14.2%. The revenue growth compared to the prior year reflected a 10% increase in trust, investment and other servicing fees and a 12% increase in net interest income, driven by organic growth across our businesses and the benefits associated with rising short-term interest rates. Expense grew 8% compared to the prior year, reflecting growth and investment in our business, as well as inflationary pressures. This quarter’s performance resulted in positive fee and total operating leverage compared to the prior year. Our performance this quarter also reflected our continued focus on delivering exceptional service, product innovation and solutions to our clients, while delivering long-term value to all stakeholders by investing for future profitable growth.”

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION FIRST QUARTER 2022 RESULTS
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Asset Servicing
During the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation changed the name of the Corporate & Institutional Services segment to “Asset Servicing.” Accordingly, future disclosures regarding the Corporation’s reporting segments will refer to this segment as Asset Servicing.
Accounting Reclassification
Beginning in 2022, Trust, Investment and Other Servicing fees were impacted by the change in classification of certain fees that were previously recorded in Other Operating Income or as a reduction of Other Operating Expense but resulted in no impact to net income. The accounting reclassification increased Trust, Investment and Other Servicing fees in the current quarter by $18.5 million, with a $6.9 million decrease in Other Operating Income and a $11.6 million increase in Other Operating Expense. The classification changes are deemed to be a better representation of the underlying nature of the business as they are directly tied to client asset levels and the related services are more akin to our core service offerings. Prior period amounts have not been reclassified.
CLIENT ASSETS
Assets under custody/administration (AUC/A) and assets under management are a driver of the Corporation’s trust, investment and other servicing fees, the largest component of noninterest income.

Q1 2022
The provision in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in the reserve evaluated on an individual basis for two commercial borrowers, partially offset by a slight decrease in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis. The reserve evaluated on a collective basis relates to pooled financial assets sharing similar risk characteristics. The decrease in the collective basis reserve was primarily due to continued improvements in credit quality mainly within the commercial real estate portfolio, partially offset by increases in the reserve driven by projected economic conditions.
Q4 2021
The release of credit reserves in the prior quarter was primarily due to a decrease in the reserve evaluated on a collective basis driven by continued improvements in projected economic conditions at the time and portfolio credit quality, partially offset by portfolio growth. Decreases in the collective basis reserve were primarily in the commercial and institutional and commercial real estate portfolios, partially offset by an increase in the private client portfolio.

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION FIRST QUARTER 2022 RESULTS
CAPITAL ACTIONS
The Corporation returned approximately $181.6 million to common shareholders in the current quarter through dividends and the repurchase of shares. During the current quarter, the Corporation declared cash dividends totaling $147.8 million to common stockholders and repurchased 295,410 shares of common stock, all of which were withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of $33.8 million ($114.58 average price per share). The Corporation also declared cash dividends totaling $16.2 million to preferred stockholders during the current quarter.
CAPITAL RATIOS
The capital ratios of Northern Trust Corporation and its principal subsidiary, The Northern Trust Company, remained strong at March 31, 2022, exceeding the minimum requirements for classification as “well-capitalized” under applicable U.S. regulatory requirements.
An increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which was primarily due to an increase in net unrealized losses on the available for sale debt securities portfolio largely from rising interest rates, contributed to the current quarter’s change in capital ratios from the prior period.
The table below provides capital ratios, as well as the required minimum capital ratios, for Northern Trust Corporation and The Northern Trust Company determined by Basel III phased-in requirements.

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.
