Q1 2026
The negative provision in the current quarter resulted from a decrease in the collective reserve, partially offset by an increase in individual reserves. T8The decrease in the collective reserve was primarily driven by improved credit quality of the Commercial and Institutional (C&I) portfolio, partially offset by increased macroeconomic uncertainty. The increase in the individual reserve was driven by a small number of non-performing loans.
Q4 2025
The negative provision in the prior quarter resulted from a decrease in the collective reserve primarily driven by refinements to factors used to estimate losses for the C&I portfolio.
Q1 2025
The provision in the prior-year quarter resulted from an increase in the collective reserve, primarily driven by increased projected macroeconomic uncertainty, partially offset by sector and portfolio-specific improvements within the Commercial Real Estate portfolio.

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
The following table presents a reconciliation of interest income, net interest income, net interest margin, total revenue, income before taxes, and pre-tax margin prepared in accordance with GAAP to such measures on an FTE non-GAAP basis. Management believes this presentation facilitates the analysis of asset yields and 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.

Mentions · how they’re counted
| Category | Underlined | Word counter | Model’s count |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI AI, artificial intelligence, generative AI, machine learning, large language model, LLM | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Layoffs layoffs, RIF, headcount reduction, workforce optimization, restructuring | 0 | — | 1 |

| Buybacks share repurchase, buyback program | 1 | — | 1 |
Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
