"Our third quarter results were highlighted by sequential revenue and profit expansion", said Steve Steinour, chairman, president, and CEO. "We drove accelerated loan growth and sustained deposit gathering in the quarter, while actively executing our down-rate action plans. We are also pleased with a very strong performance in our value added fees businesses."

"Huntington continues to operate from a position of strength given disciplined management actions the company has sustained over many years. Our liquidity and capital are robust and support our continued focus on driving organic growth. We are continuing to acquire and deepen customer relationships, expanding in our existing business and new markets and verticals."

"Credit continues to perform very well, with stable net-charge offs and improved nonperforming asset and criticized asset ratios, consistent with our aggregate moderate-to-low risk appetite. Our customers continue to show strength and resiliency, which supports a constructive outlook."

"We anticipate accelerated loan growth to continue in the fourth quarter, supported by our core businesses and successful execution of new initiatives, which are tracking above plan. Loan pipelines are robust as we enter the fourth quarter, and we believe this growth momentum establishes a foundation for growing revenue and expanded profitability heading into 2025".
