CEO Commentary:
"Our first quarter results were highlighted by continued profit growth driven by increased loans and deposits, expanded net interest margin, growth of fee revenues, and rigorous expense management," said Steve Steinour, chairman, president, and CEO. "Our outlook for the year remains positive as our organic growth continues to significantly outpace our peer group driven by both our existing businesses and new initiatives. Our teams are executing exceptionally well as we manage overall funding costs lower and drive fee revenues higher. While we closely monitor the external environment, we are very well positioned to operate across a range of potential economic scenarios."
"We have continued to invest in new revenue-producing opportunities and have expanded our capabilities in the commercial and regional bank. These investments are delivering results, evidenced by robust loans and deposits across North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas regions, new commercial specialty banking areas, as well as fee businesses."
"Credit quality performed very well, with improved net-charge offs compared to the previous quarter and 2024 overall, reflecting our credit management approach in line with our aggregate moderate-to-low risk appetite. This is a competitive advantage and we are confident in our ability to outperform through-the-cycle."
"We are operating from a position of strength. Over many years Huntington has maintained a disciplined approach to risk, which has driven our robust capital and liquidity metrics and has resulted in top quartile credit performance. Huntington has demonstrated our ability to execute and capitalize on disruptions in the market, and we believe we are very well positioned to manage through the evolving economic outlook."
