MICHAEL O’GRADY, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER:

“Northern Trust reported another quarter of strengthening results, featuring mid-single digit trust fee growth, record net interest income, and meaningful expansion in our pretax margin, all of which drove a 20% increase in our earnings per share, excluding notables in the prior period. T1The second quarter marks our fourth consecutive quarter of generating year-over-year improvement in our expense-to-trust fee ratio and delivering both positive trust fee operating leverage and overall operating leverage, all excluding notables. T2During this period, we have also returned over 100% of our earnings, including record share repurchases this quarter. Yesterday, our Board of Directors approved a $0.05 or 7% increase to our quarterly dividend.

We enter the second half of the year with good momentum, squarely focused on delivering exceptional value to our clients, driving sustainable and profitable growth, and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION SECOND QUARTER 2025 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 profit margin (pre-tax) 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.

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.
