NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER

EARNINGS PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE OF $1.70,

RETURN ON AVERAGE COMMON EQUITY OF 14.8%

CHICAGO, JANUARY 22, 2020 — Northern Trust Corporation today reported fourth quarter net income per diluted common share of $1.70, compared to $1.80 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and $1.69 in the third quarter of 2019. Net income was $371.1 million, compared to $409.9 million in the prior-year quarter and $384.6 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter included a $20.8 million pre-tax charge recorded in other operating income related to the decision to sell substantially all of the lease portfolio and a $6.8 million pre-tax software disposition charge recorded in noninterest expense.

“Northern Trust’s performance in the fourth quarter of 2019 generated year-over-year revenue growth of 3% and a return on average common equity of 14.8%,” said Michael O’Grady, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our full year performance continued to exhibit foundational strength, as we executed on a number of growth strategies while continuing to advance our data and digital efforts and improve our productivity. We also continued to grow assets as a result of favorable markets and organic growth. Assets under Custody and Administration ended the year at $12.1 trillion, up 19% from the prior year, while Assets under Management ended the year at $1.2 trillion, up 15% from the prior year.”

O’Grady added, “During 2019, we returned a record $1.7 billion to common shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 11.8 million shares. As we enter 2020, we remain focused on providing our clients with exceptional service and expertise, driving efficiencies in our business, and investing for future growth.”

▪	Foreign exchange trading income increased due to higher client volumes and the mix of currencies traded.

Q4 2019 vs. Q3 2019


▪	Net interest income on an FTE basis increased primarily due to an increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a lower net interest margin.


▪	The net interest margin on an FTE basis decreased primarily due to lower short-term interest rates.


▪	Average earning assets increased primarily due to higher levels of securities and higher short-term interest-bearing deposits with banks.

Q4 2019 vs. Q4 2018


▪	Net interest income on an FTE basis was essentially flat.


▪	The net interest margin on an FTE basis increased primarily due to a balance sheet mix shift and the impact of lower foreign exchange swap volume, partially offset by lower short-term interest rates.

Q4 2019


▪	The credit provision in the current quarter was primarily driven by an overall decrease in the inherent allowance related to changes in credit quality, partially offset by net charge-offs.

Q3 2019


▪	The credit provision in the prior quarter was primarily driven by a decrease in the specific allowance attributable to the residential real estate portfolio and a slight decrease in the inherent allowance.

Q4 2018

▪

The credit provision in the prior-year quarter was primarily driven by reductions in outstanding loans in the commercial real estate and residential real estate portfolios and improved credit quality across all major portfolios, offset by increases in the commercial and institutional portfolio, the net effect of which resulted in a reduction in the inherent allowance. This was partially offset by increases in specific reserves related to outstanding loans and standby letters of credit in the residential real estate and commercial and institutional portfolios, respectively.

Effective Tax Rate	22.1		%	24.4		%	15.7		%

Q4 2019 vs. Q3 2019

▪

The provision for income taxes decreased primarily due to a change in the earnings mix in tax jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates and one-time benefits related to previously granted performance stock unit (PSU) awards and additional research and development tax credits. These decreases to the provision for income taxes were partially offset by higher U.S. taxes payable on the income of the Corporation’s non-U.S. branches.

Q4 2019 vs. Q4 2018

▪

The provision for income taxes increased primarily due to income tax benefits recorded in 2018 associated with the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted in the fourth quarter of 2017. Also contributing to the increase in the provision for income taxes in the current quarter are higher U.S. taxes payable on the income of the Corporation’s non-U.S. branches. These increases to the provision for income taxes were partially offset by a change in the earnings mix in tax jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates and one-time benefits related to previously granted PSU awards and additional research and development tax credits.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Average total stockholders’ equity increased $633.8 million, or 6%, to $10.9 billion from the prior-year quarter’s average of $10.3 billion. The increase was primarily attributable to earnings, the issuance of preferred stock and accumulated other comprehensive income since the prior-year period, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share repurchase program and dividend declarations.

During the current quarter, the Corporation issued and sold 16,000,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/1,000th ownership interest in a share of Series E Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock for proceeds of $391.4 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, and other issuance costs. These proceeds were subsequently used to fund the redemption of all outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock on January 2, 2020.

During the current quarter, the Corporation declared cash dividends totaling $5.8 million to preferred stockholders and cash dividends totaling $149.8 million to common stockholders. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Corporation repurchased 2,609,122 shares of common stock, including 6,976 shares withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of $264.4 million ($101.33 average price per share) and 11,778,866 shares of common stock, including 609,518 shares withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of $1.1 billion ($93.40 average price per share), respectively.

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. 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.
