EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Summary of 2018 First Quarter Results Compared to 2017 First Quarter
For the quarter, we reported net income of $326 million, or $0.28 per common share, compared with $208 million, or $0.17 per common share, in the year-ago quarter (see Table 1).
Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income was $777 million, up $34 million, or 5%. The results reflected the benefit from a $4.3 billion, or 5%, increase in average earning assets, while the FTE net interest margin (NIM) remained unchanged at 3.30%. Average earning asset growth included a $3.5 billion, or 5%, increase in average loans and leases, and a $0.7 billion, or 3%, increase in average securities. The net interest margin stability reflected a 21 basis point increase in earning asset yields and a 7 basis point increase in the benefit from noninterest-bearing funds, offset by a 28 basis point increase in funding costs. Embedded within these yields and costs, FTE net interest income during the 2018 first quarter included $19 million, or approximately 8 basis points, of purchase accounting impact compared to $37 million, or approximately 16 basis points, in the year-ago quarter.
The provision for credit losses decreased $2 million year-over-year to $66 million in the 2018 first quarter. NCOs decreased $1 million to $38 million. NCOs represented an annualized 0.21% of average loans and leases, which remains below our long-term expectation of 35 to 55 basis points.
Non-interest income was $314 million, up $2 million, or 1%. Card and payment processing income increased $6 million, or 13%, due to higher credit and debit card related income and underlying customer growth. Trust and investment management services increased $5 million, or 13%, reflecting an increase in trust assets and assets under management. Capital markets fees increased $5 million, or 36%, reflecting increased foreign exchange and interest rate derivative activity. These increases were partially offset by a $6 million, or 19%, decrease in mortgage banking income, driven by lower spreads on origination volume, and a $5 million, or 38%, decrease in gain on sale of loans, primarily reflecting the sale of an equipment finance loan in the year ago quarter.
Non-interest expense was $633 million, down $74 million, or 10%, due to the $73 million of acquisition-related Significant Items in the year-ago quarter compared with no Significant Items in the current quarter.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.70%, up 42 basis points from a year-ago. The CET1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.52% at March 31, 2018, compared to 9.74% a year ago. The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.00% compared to 11.11% at March 31, 2017.
Over the past three quarters, the Company repurchased $308 million of common stock at an average cost of $13.71 per share, including $48 million at an average cost of $15.83 during the 2018 first quarter. In addition, during the 2018 first quarter, $363 million of 8.5% Series A preferred equity was converted into common equity, and subsequently $500 million of 5.7% Series E preferred equity was issued.

Table of Contents

2018 First Quarter versus 2017 First Quarter
FTE net interest income for the 2018 first quarter increased $34 million, or 5%, from the 2017 first quarter. This reflected the benefit from the $4.3 billion, or 5%, increase in average earning assets, while the FTE NIM remained unchanged at 3.30%. Average earning asset growth included a $3.5 billion, or 5%, increase in average loans and leases and a $0.7 billion, or 3%, increase in average securities. The NIM stability reflected a 21 basis point increase in earning asset yields and a 7 basis point increase in the benefit from noninterest-bearing funds, offset by a 28 basis point increase in funding costs. Embedded within these yields and costs, FTE net interest income during the 2018 first quarter included $19 million, or approximately 8 basis points, of purchase accounting impact compared to $37 million, or approximately 16 basis points, in the year-ago quarter.
Average earning assets for the 2018 first quarter increased $4.3 billion, or 5%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting a $3.5 billion, or 5%, increase in average loans and leases. Average residential mortgage loans increased $1.4 billion, or 18%, as we continue to see the benefits associated with the ongoing expansion of our home lending business. Average automobile loans increased $1.0 billion, or 9%, driven by $6.2 billion of new production over the past year. Average RV and marine finance loans increased $0.6 billion, or 32%, reflecting the expansion of the acquired business into 17 new states. Average securities increased $0.7 billion, or 3%, which included a $0.3 billion increase in direct purchase municipal instruments in our commercial banking segment.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.0 billion, or 6%, from the year-ago quarter. Average total deposits for the 2018 first quarter increased $1.0 billion, or 1%, from the year-ago quarter, while average total core deposits increased $1.9 billion, or 3%. Average money market deposits increased $2.0 billion, or 11%, reflecting continued new customer acquisition and shifting customer preferences for higher yielding deposit products. Average demand deposits increased $0.7 billion, or 2%, comprised of a $0.4 billion, or 2%, increase in average commercial demand deposits and a $0.2 billion, or 2%, increase in average consumer demand deposits. Partially offsetting these increases, average savings deposits decreased $0.6 billion, or 5%, reflecting customer migration into higher yielding deposit products, such as money market and CDs.
2018 First Quarter versus 2017 Fourth Quarter
Compared to the 2017 fourth quarter, FTE net interest income decreased $5 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting the impact of federal tax reform on the FTE adjustment. Average earning assets increased $1.5 billion, or 2%, sequentially, while the NIM remained unchanged. The stable NIM reflected an 8 basis point increase in earning asset yields and a 1 basis point increase in the benefit from noninterest-bearing funds, offset by a 9 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The purchase accounting impact on the net interest margin was approximately 8 basis points in the 2018 first quarter compared to approximately 10 basis points in the prior quarter.
Compared to the 2017 fourth quarter, average earning assets increased $1.5 billion, or 2%, reflecting the $1.5 billion, or 2%, increase in average loans and leases. Average C&I loans increased $0.8 billion, or 3%, reflecting growth in specialty, corporate, and middle market banking. The remainder of the increase primarily reflected modest increases across most consumer categories.
Compared to the 2017 fourth quarter, average total core deposits decreased $0.6 billion, or 1%, primarily reflecting a $0.7 billion, or 2%, decrease in average demand deposits. Average commercial demand deposits decreased $0.9 billion, or 3%, while average consumer demand deposits increased $0.2 billion, or 2%.
Provision for Credit Losses
(This section should be read in conjunction with the Credit Risk section.)
The provision for credit losses is the expense necessary to maintain the ALLL and the AULC at levels appropriate to absorb our estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio and the portfolio of unfunded loan commitments and letters-of-credit.
The provision for credit losses for the 2018 first quarter was $66 million, which decreased $2 million, or 3%, compared to the first quarter 2017. NCOs decreased $1 million to $38 million compared with the same period in the prior year reflecting a decrease in commercial net charge-offs, partially offset by an increase in consumer net charge-offs. Net charge-offs represented an annualized 0.21% of average loans and leases, which remains below our long-term expectation of 35 to 55 basis points.

2018 First Quarter versus 2017 First Quarter
Noninterest income for the 2018 first quarter increased $2 million, or 1%, from the year-ago quarter. Card and payment processing income increased $6 million, or 13%, due to higher credit and debit card related income and underlying customer growth. Trust and investment management services increased $5 million, or 13%, reflecting the increase in trust assets and assets under management. Capital markets fees increased $5 million, or 36%, reflecting increased foreign exchange and interest rate derivative activity. These increases were partially offset by a $6 million, or 19%, decrease in mortgage banking income, driven by lower spreads on origination volume, and a $5 million, or 38%, decrease in gain on sale of loans, primarily reflecting the sale of an equipment finance loan in the year ago quarter.
2018 First Quarter versus 2017 Fourth Quarter
Compared to the 2017 fourth quarter, total noninterest income decreased $26 million, or 8%. Gain on sale of loans decreased $9 million, or 53%, reflecting seasonality in SBA lending. Mortgage banking income decreased $7 million, or 21%, reflecting reduced spreads and seasonally lower origination volume. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $5 million, or 5%, primarily reflecting seasonality. Other income decreased $5 million, or 11%, primarily reflecting lower syndication fees and asset finance lease sales.

2018 First Quarter versus 2017 First Quarter
Reported noninterest expense for the 2018 first quarter decreased $74 million, or 10%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to $73 million of acquisition-related Significant Items in the year-ago quarter compared with no Significant Items in the current quarter.
2018 First Quarter versus 2017 Fourth Quarter
Reported noninterest expense remained unchanged from the 2017 fourth quarter. Professional services decreased $7 million, or 39%, reflecting lower consulting expense. Net occupancy expense increased $5 million, or 14%, due to seasonality.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in the 2018 first quarter was $59 million. This compared with a provision for income taxes of $59 million in the 2017 first quarter and a benefit of $20 million in the 2017 fourth quarter. All periods included the benefits from tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments, general business credits, investments in qualified affordable housing projects, excess tax deductions for stock-based compensation, and capital losses. The 2018 first quarter also included expense for nondeductible FDIC insurance premiums. The 2017 fourth quarter included a $123 million tax benefit related to the federal tax reform enacted on December 22, 2017, which is primarily attributed to the revaluation of net deferred tax liabilities at the lower statutory federal income tax rate. The effective tax rates for the 2018 first quarter, 2017 first quarter, and 2017 fourth quarter were 15.3%, 22.2%, and (4.8)%, respectively. The variance between the 2018 first quarter compared to the 2017 first quarter and 2017 fourth quarter in the provision for income taxes and effective tax rates relates primarily to the impact of the TCJA. The net federal deferred tax liability was $111 million and the net state deferred tax asset was $27 million at March 31, 2018.
We file income tax returns with the IRS and various state, city, and foreign jurisdictions. The IRS is currently examining our 2010 and 2011 consolidated federal income tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2012 through 2016, the IRS has advised that tax years 2012 through 2014 will not be audited, and has requested to begin the examination of the 2015 federal income tax return during 2018. Various state and other jurisdictions remain open to examination, including Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL
We use a multi-faceted approach to risk governance. It begins with the board of directors defining our risk appetite as aggregate moderate-to-low. Risk awareness, identification and assessment, reporting, and active management are key elements in overall risk management. Controls include, among others, effective segregation of duties, access, authorization and reconciliation procedures, as well as staff education and a disciplined assessment process.
We believe that our primary risk exposures are credit, market, liquidity, operational, and compliance oriented. More information on risk can be found in the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our 2017 Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC. The MD&A included in our 2017 Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with this MD&A as this discussion provides only material updates to the Form 10-K. This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and other information contained in this report. Our definition, philosophy, and approach to risk management have not materially changed from the discussion presented in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a counterparty is not able to meet the agreed upon terms of the financial obligation. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending. We also have credit risk associated with our AFS and HTM securities portfolios (see Note 4 and Note 5 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We engage with other financial counterparties for a variety of purposes including investing, asset and liability management, mortgage banking, and trading activities. While there is credit risk associated with derivative activity, we believe this exposure is minimal.
We continue to focus on the identification, monitoring, and managing of our credit risk. In addition to the traditional credit risk mitigation strategies of credit policies and processes, market risk management activities, and portfolio diversification, we use quantitative measurement capabilities utilizing external data sources, enhanced modeling technology, and internal stress testing processes. Our portfolio management resources demonstrate our commitment to maintaining an aggregate moderate-to-low risk profile. In our efforts to continue to identify risk mitigation techniques, we have focused on product design features, origination policies, and solutions for delinquent or stressed borrowers.

Our loan portfolio is composed of a managed mix of consumer and commercial credits. At the corporate level, we manage the overall credit exposure and portfolio composition in part via a credit concentration policy. The policy designates specific loan types, collateral types, and loan structures to be formally tracked and assigned maximum exposure limits as a percentage of capital. C&I lending by NAICS categories, specific limits for CRE project types, loans secured by residential real estate, shared national credit exposure, and designated high risk loan definitions represent examples of specifically tracked components of our concentration management process. There are no identified concentrations that exceed the assigned exposure limit. Our concentration management policy is approved by the ROC of the Board and is one of the strategies used to ensure a high quality, well diversified portfolio that is consistent with our overall objective of maintaining an aggregate moderate-to-low risk profile. Changes to existing concentration limits require the approval of the ROC prior to implementation, incorporating specific information relating to the potential impact on the overall portfolio composition and performance metrics.

Amounts include $3.4 billion, $3.2 billion, $3.0 billion, $3.2 billion and $3.3 billion of auto dealer services loans at March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.
Credit Quality
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 3 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
We believe the most meaningful way to assess overall credit quality performance is through an analysis of credit quality performance ratios. This approach forms the basis of most of the discussion in the sections immediately following: NPAs and NALs, TDRs, ACL, and NCOs. In addition, we utilize delinquency rates, risk distribution and migration patterns, and product segmentation in the analysis of our credit quality performance.
Credit quality performance in the 2018 first quarter reflected continued overall positive results with continued low net charge-offs and lower delinquencies. Total NCOs were $38 million, or 0.21% annualized, of average total loans and leases. 

16

Table of Contents

Net charge-offs decreased by $3 million from the prior quarter, as commercial charge-offs declined slightly and consumer charge-offs remained relatively flat. There was an 8% increase in NPAs from the prior quarter centered in the C&I portfolio. NPAs to total loans and leases remains low at 0.59%. The ALLL to total loans and leases ratio increased 2 basis points to 1.01%. The ACL to total loans and leases ratio also increased 2 basis points to 1.13%.
NPAs, NALs, AND TDRs
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 3 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and "Credit Quality" section of our 2017 Form 10-K.)
NPAs and NALs
Of the $220 million of CRE and C&I-related NALs at March 31, 2018, $147 million, or 67%, represented loans that were less than 30-days past due, demonstrating our continued commitment to proactive credit risk management. With the exception of residential mortgage loans guaranteed by government organizations which continue to accrue interest, first-lien loans secured by residential mortgage collateral are placed on nonaccrual status at 150-days past due. Junior-lien home equity loans are placed on nonaccrual status at the earlier of 120-days past due or when the related first-lien loan has been identified as nonaccrual. Automobile, RV and marine finance and other consumer loans are generally charged-off at 120-days past due.
When loans are placed on nonaccrual, the current year accrued and uncollected interest is reversed through net interest income and prior year accrued and uncollected interest is charged-off. When, in our judgment, the borrower’s ability to make required interest and principal payments has resumed and collectability is no longer in doubt, the loan or lease could be returned to accrual status.
The following table reflects period-end NALs and NPAs detail for each of the last five quarters:

Table of Contents

2018 First Quarter versus 2017 Fourth Quarter.
Total NPAs increased by $31 million, or 8%, compared with December 31, 2017 primarily as a result of an increase in the C&I portfolio. The C&I increase was primarily a result of three credits in unrelated industries that were identified as NALs during the quarter.
TDR Loans
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 3 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and TDR Loans section of our 2017 Form 10-K.)
Over the past five quarters, the accruing component of the total TDR balance has been between 80% and 84%, indicating there is no identified credit loss and the borrowers continue to make their monthly payments. In fact, over 75% of the $485 million of accruing TDRs secured by residential real estate (Residential mortgage and Home equity in Table 9) are current on their required payments.  In addition, over 60% of the accruing pool have had no delinquency at all in the past 12 months. There is limited migration from the accruing to non-accruing components, and virtually all of the charge-offs come from the non-accruing TDR balances.
The table below presents our accruing and nonaccruing TDRs at period-end for each of the past five quarters:

Overall TDRs increased only slightly in the quarter. Of note is the consistently low component of non-accruing TDRs over the past five quarters. The Commercial accruing TDR level has increased over the five quarter period as Huntington continues to proactively work with our Commercial borrowing relationships that require assistance. The resulting loan structures enable our borrowers to meet their commitments and Huntington to retain earning assets. The accruing component of TDRs meet the well secured definition and have demonstrated a period of satisfactory payment performance.
ACL
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 3 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Our total credit reserve is comprised of two different components, both of which in our judgment are appropriate to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolio: the ALLL and the AULC. Combined, these reserves comprise the total ACL. Our ACL methodology committee is responsible for developing the methodology, assumptions and estimates used in the calculation, as well as determining the appropriateness of the ACL. The ALLL represents the estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the reported date. Additions to the ALLL result from recording provision expense for loan losses or increased risk levels resulting from loan risk-rating downgrades, while reductions reflect charge-offs (net of recoveries), decreased risk

levels resulting from loan risk-rating upgrades, or the sale of loans. The AULC is determined by applying the same quantitative reserve determination process to the unfunded portion of the loan exposures adjusted by an applicable funding expectation.
Loans originated for investment are stated at their principal amount outstanding adjusted for partial charge-offs, and net deferred loan fees and costs.
Our ACL evaluation process includes the on-going assessment of credit quality metrics, and a comparison of certain ACL benchmarks to current performance.  While the total ACL balance increased year over year, all of the relevant benchmarks remain strong.
The table below reflects the allocation of our ACL among our various loan categories during each of the past five quarters:

2018 First Quarter versus 2017 Fourth Quarter
At March 31, 2018, the ALLL was $721 million, compared to $691 million at December 31, 2017. The $30 million, or 4%, increase in the ALLL relates to growth in reserve levels associated with new loan originations as well as an increase in Criticized/Classified loans in the Commercial portfolio. The ALLL to total loans ratio was 1.01% at March 31, 2018 and 0.99% at December 31, 2017. The ACL to total loans ratio was 1.13% at March 31, 2018 and 1.11% at December 31, 2017. We believe these ratios are appropriate given the overall moderate-to-low risk profile of our loan portfolio and its coverage levels reflect the quality of our portfolio and the current operating environment. We continue to focus on early identification of loans with changes in credit metrics and proactive action plans for these loans.

NCOs
A loan in any portfolio may be charged-off prior to the policies described below if a loss confirming event has occurred. Loss confirming events include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy (unsecured), continued delinquency, foreclosure, or receipt of an asset valuation indicating a collateral deficiency where that asset is the sole source of repayment. Additionally, discharged, collateral dependent non-reaffirmed debt in Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings will result in a charge-off to estimated collateral value, less anticipated selling costs at the time of discharge.
C&I and CRE loans are either charged-off or written down to net realizable value at 90-days past due with the exception of administrative small ticket lease delinquencies. Automobile loans, RV and marine finance, and other consumer loans are generally charged-off at 120-days past due. First-lien and junior-lien home equity loans are charged-off to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less anticipated selling costs, at 150-days past due and 120-days past due, respectively. Residential mortgages are charged-off to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less anticipated selling costs, at 150-days past due. The remaining balance is in delinquent status until a modification can be completed, or the loan goes through the foreclosure process.

In assessing NCO trends, it is helpful to understand the process of how commercial loans are treated as they deteriorate over time. The ALLL is established consistent with the level of risk associated with the commercial portfolio's original underwriting. As a part of our normal portfolio management process for commercial loans, loans within the portfolio are periodically reviewed and the ALLL is increased or decreased based on the updated risk ratings. For TDRs and individually assessed impaired loans, a specific reserve is established based on the discounted projected cash flows or collateral value of the specific loan. Charge-offs, if necessary, are generally recognized in a period after the specific ALLL is established. Consumer loans are treated in much the same manner as commercial loans, with increasing reserve factors applied based on the risk characteristics of the loan, although specific reserves are not identified for consumer loans, except for TDRs. In summary, if loan quality deteriorates, the typical credit sequence would be periods of reserve building, followed by periods of higher NCOs as the previously established ALLL is utilized. Additionally, an increase in the ALLL either precedes or is in conjunction with increases in NALs. When a loan is classified as NAL, it is evaluated for specific ALLL or charge-off. As a result, an increase in NALs does not necessarily result in an increase in the ALLL or an expectation of higher future NCOs.
2018 First Quarter versus 2017 Fourth Quarter
NCOs were an annualized 0.21% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, a decrease from 0.24% in the 2017 fourth quarter, and below our long-term expectation of 0.35% - 0.55%. The commercial portfolio decreased 0.03% for the first quarter, with one significant CRE recovery, partially offset by an increase in the C&I portfolio. Consumer charge-offs were slightly lower for the quarter, primarily driven by seasonality trends across the consumer portfolio, consistent with our expectations. Given the low level of C&I and CRE NCOs, we have experienced and continue to expect some volatility on a quarter-to-quarter comparison basis.
2018 First Three Months versus 2017 First Three Months
NCOs were $38 million, slightly lower than the same period in the prior year. Given the low level of C&I and CRE NCO’s, we expect some continued volatility on a period-to-period comparison basis.
Market Risk
(This section should be read in conjunction with the “Market Risk” section of our 2017 Form 10-K for our on-going market risk management processes.)
Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices, including the correlation among these factors and their volatility. When the value of an instrument is tied to such external factors, the holder faces market risk. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk as a result of offering a wide array of financial products to our customers and secondarily to price risk from trading securities, securities owned by our broker-dealer subsidiary, foreign exchange positions, equity investments, and investments in securities backed by mortgage loans.

The NII at Risk results included in the table above reflect the analysis used monthly by management. It models gradual -25, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates, implied by the forward yield curve over the next twelve months. Due to the current low level of short-term interest rates, the analysis reflects a declining interest rate scenario of 25 basis points.
Our NII at Risk is within our board of director's policy limits for the +100 and +200 basis point scenarios. There is no policy limit for the -25 basis point scenario. The NII at Risk shows that our balance sheet is asset sensitive at both March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017.

The EVE results included in the table above reflect the analysis used monthly by management. It models immediate -25, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates. Due to the current low level of short-term interest rates, the analysis reflects a declining interest rate scenario of 25 basis points, the point at which many deposit costs reach zero percent.
We are within our board of director's policy limits for the +100 and +200 basis point scenarios. There is no policy limit for the -25 basis point scenario. The EVE depicts a moderate asset sensitive balance sheet positioning us for rising interest rates.
MSRs
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 7 of Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
At March 31, 2018, we had a total of $212 million of capitalized MSRs representing the right to service $20 billion in mortgage loans. Of this $212 million, $12 million was recorded using the fair value method and $200 million was recorded using the amortization method.
MSR fair values are sensitive to movements in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected outstanding principal balances of the underlying loans, which can be reduced by prepayments. Prepayments usually increase when mortgage interest rates decline and decrease when mortgage interest rates rise. We have employed hedging strategies to reduce the risk of MSR fair value changes or impairment. However, volatile changes in interest rates can diminish the effectiveness of these economic hedges. We report changes in the MSR value net of hedge-related trading activity in the mortgage banking income category of noninterest income. Changes in fair value between reporting dates are recognized as an increase or a decrease in mortgage banking income.
MSRs recorded using the amortization method generally relate to loans originated with historically low interest rates, which may result in a lower probability of prepayments or impairment. MSR assets are included in servicing rights in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Price Risk
Price risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the prices of financial instruments that are carried at fair value and are subject to fair value accounting. We have price risk from trading securities, securities owned by our broker-dealer subsidiary, foreign exchange positions and equity investments. We have established loss limits on the trading portfolio, on the amount of foreign exchange exposure that can be maintained, and on the amount of marketable equity securities that can be held.
Liquidity Risk
(This section should be read in conjunction with the “Liquidity Risk” section of our 2017 Form 10-K for our on-going liquidity risk management processes.)
Our primary source of liquidity is our core deposit base. Core deposits comprised approximately 95% of total deposits at March 31, 2018. We also have available unused wholesale sources of liquidity, including advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, issuance through dealers in the capital markets, and access to certificates of deposit issued through brokers. Liquidity is further provided by unencumbered, or unpledged, investment securities that totaled $13.2 billion as of March 31, 2018.
Bank Liquidity and Sources of Funding
Our primary sources of funding for the Bank are retail and commercial core deposits. At March 31, 2018, these core deposits funded 72% of total assets (106% of total loans). Other sources of liquidity include non-core deposits, FHLB advances, wholesale debt instruments, and securitizations. Demand deposit overdrafts that have been reclassified as loan balances were $15 million and $22 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Bank maintains borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. The Bank does not consider borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window as a primary source of liquidity. Total loans pledged to the Federal Reserve Discount Window and the FHLB are $33.5 billion and $31.7 billion at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
To the extent we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, we may meet our liquidity needs through sources of wholesale funding, asset securitization or sale. Sources of wholesale funding include other domestic deposits of $250,000 or more, brokered deposits and negotiable CDs, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. At March 31, 2018, total wholesale funding was $15.5 billion, a decrease from $17.9 billion at December 31, 2017. The decrease from year-end primarily relates to a decrease in short-term borrowings.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio
At March 31, 2018, the Bank is in compliance with the LCR requirements and management believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow obligations for the foreseeable future.
Parent Company Liquidity
The parent company’s funding requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service, income taxes, operating expenses, funding of nonbank subsidiaries, repurchases of our stock, and acquisitions. The parent company obtains funding to meet obligations from dividends and interest received from the Bank, interest and dividends received from direct subsidiaries, net taxes collected from subsidiaries included in the federal consolidated tax return, fees for services provided to subsidiaries, and the issuance of debt and equity securities.
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the parent company had $2.2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.
During the 2018 first quarter, Huntington elected to effect the conversion of all of its outstanding 8.50% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock, and issued $500 million of Series E Preferred Stock. See Note 9 for further information.
On April 17, 2018, the board of directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.11 per common share. The dividend is payable on July 2, 2018, to shareholders of record on June 18, 2018. Based on the current quarterly dividend of $0.11 per common share, cash demands required for common stock dividends are estimated to be approximately $121 million per quarter. On April 17, 2018, the board of directors declared a quarterly Series B, Series C, Series D, and Series E Preferred Stock dividend payable on July 16, 2018 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2018. Cash demands required for Series B are expected to be less than $1 million per quarter. Cash demands required for Series C are expected to be approximately $2 million per quarter. Cash demands required for Series D are expected to be approximately $9 million per quarter. Cash

demands required for Series E are expected to be approximately $10 million for the 2018 second quarter declaration, and approximately $7 million per quarter starting with the 2018 third quarter declaration.
During the first three months of 2018, the Bank paid a preferred dividend of $11 million and common stock dividend of $406 million to the holding company. To meet any additional liquidity needs, the parent company may issue debt or equity securities from time to time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we enter into various off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include commitments to extend credit, interest rate swaps, financial guarantees contained in standby letters-of-credit issued by the Bank, and commitments by the Bank to sell mortgage loans.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human error; inadequate or failed internal systems and controls, including the use of financial or other quantitative methodologies that may not adequately predict future results; violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operational risk. We actively and continuously monitor cyber-attacks such as attempts related to online deception and loss of sensitive customer data. We evaluate internal systems, processes and controls to mitigate loss from cyber-attacks and, to date, have not experienced any material losses.
Our objective for managing cyber security risk is to avoid or minimize the impacts of external threat events or other efforts to penetrate our systems. We work to achieve this objective by hardening networks and systems against attack, and by diligently managing visibility and monitoring controls within our data and communications environment to recognize events and respond before the attacker has the opportunity to plan and execute on its own goals. To this end we employ a set of defense in-depth strategies, which include efforts to make us less attractive as a target and less vulnerable to threats, while investing in threat analytic capabilities for rapid detection and response. Potential concerns related to cyber security may be escalated to our board-level Technology Committee, as appropriate. As a complement to the overall cyber security risk management, we use a number of internal training methods, both formally through mandatory courses and informally through written communications and other updates. Internal policies and procedures have been implemented to encourage the reporting of potential phishing attacks or other security risks. We also use third-party services to test the effectiveness of our cyber security risk management framework, and any such third parties are required to comply with our policies regarding information security and confidentiality.
To mitigate operational risks, we have an Operational Risk Committee, a Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Committee, and a Third Party Risk Management Committee. The responsibilities of these committees, among other duties, include establishing and maintaining management information systems to monitor material risks and to identify potential concerns, risks, or trends that may have a significant impact and ensuring that recommendations are developed to address the identified issues. In addition, we have a Model Risk Oversight Committee that is responsible for policies and procedures describing how model risk is evaluated and managed and the application of the governance process to implement these practices throughout the enterprise. These committees report any significant findings and recommendations to the Risk Management Committee. Potential concerns may be escalated to our ROC of the Board, as appropriate. Significant findings or issues are escalated by the Third Party Risk Management Committee to the Technology Committee of the Board, as appropriate.
The goal of this framework is to implement effective operational risk techniques and strategies; minimize operational, fraud, and legal losses; minimize the impact of inadequately designed models and enhance our overall performance.
Compliance Risk
Financial institutions are subject to many laws, rules, and regulations at both the federal and state levels. These broad-based laws, rules, and regulations include, but are not limited to, expectations relating to anti-money laundering, lending limits, client privacy, fair lending, prohibitions against unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, protections for military members as they enter active duty, and community reinvestment. Additionally, the volume and complexity of recent regulatory changes have increased our overall compliance risk. As such, we utilize various resources to help ensure expectations are met, including a team of compliance experts dedicated to ensuring our conformance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Our colleagues receive training for several broad-based laws and regulations including, but not limited to, anti-money laundering and customer privacy. Additionally, colleagues engaged in lending activities receive training for laws and regulations related to flood disaster protection, equal credit opportunity, fair lending, and/or other courses related to the extension of credit. We set a high standard of expectation for adherence to compliance management and seek to continuously enhance our performance.

Capital
Both regulatory capital and shareholders’ equity are managed at the Bank and on a consolidated basis. We have an active program for managing capital and maintain a comprehensive process for assessing the Company’s overall capital adequacy. We believe our current levels of both regulatory capital and shareholders’ equity are adequate.

At March 31, 2018, we maintained Basel III transitional capital ratios in excess of the well-capitalized standards established by the FRB.
CET1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.52% at March 31, 2018, up from 10.01% at December 31, 2017. The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.00% compared to 11.34% at December 31, 2017.
Over the past three quarters, the Company repurchased $308 million of common stock at an average cost of $13.71 per share, including $48 million at an average cost of $15.83 during the 2018 first quarter. In addition, during the 2018 first quarter, $363 million of 8.5% Series A preferred equity was converted into common equity, and subsequently $500 million of 5.7% Series E preferred equity was issued.
Shareholders’ Equity
We generate shareholders’ equity primarily through the retention of earnings, net of dividends and share repurchases. Other potential sources of shareholders’ equity include issuances of common and preferred stock. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, to meet both regulatory and market expectations, and to provide the flexibility needed for future growth and business opportunities.
Shareholders’ equity totaled $11.3 billion at March 31, 2018, an increase of $0.5 billion when compared with December 31, 2017.
On June 28, 2017, Huntington was notified by the Federal Reserve that it had no objection to Huntington's proposed capital actions included in Huntington's capital plan submitted in the 2017 CCAR. These actions included a 38% increase in the quarterly dividend per common share to $0.11, starting in the fourth quarter of 2017, the repurchase of up to $308 million of common stock over the next four quarters (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018), subject to authorization by the Board of Directors, and maintaining dividends on the outstanding classes of preferred stock and trust preferred securities.
On July 19, 2017, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $308 million of common shares over the four quarters through the 2018 second quarter. During the 2018 first quarter, Huntington purchased $48 million of common stock at an average cost of $15.83 per share completing the $308 million buyback authorization under our 2017 CCAR Plan. Purchases of

25

Table of Contents

common stock under the authorization may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, and accelerated repurchase programs.
Dividends
We consider disciplined capital management as a key objective, with dividends representing one component. Our strong capital ratios and expectations for continued earnings growth positions us to continue to actively explore additional capital management opportunities.
Share Repurchases
From time to time the board of directors authorizes the Company to repurchase shares of our common stock. Although we announce when the board of directors authorizes share repurchases, we typically do not give any public notice before we repurchase our shares. Future stock repurchases may be private or open-market repurchases, including block transactions, accelerated or delayed block transactions, forward transactions, and similar transactions. Various factors determine the amount and timing of our share repurchases, including our capital requirements, the number of shares we expect to issue for employee benefit plans and acquisitions, market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), and regulatory and legal considerations, including the FRB’s response to our annual capital plan. There were 3 million common shares repurchased during 2018.
Fair Value
At the end of each quarter, we assess the valuation hierarchy for each asset or liability measured. As necessary, assets or liabilities may be transferred within hierarchy levels due to changes in availability of observable market inputs at the measurement date. The fair values measured at each level of the fair value hierarchy, additional discussion regarding fair value measurements, and a brief description of how fair value is determined for categories that have unobservable inputs, can be found in Note 13 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION
Overview
Our business segments are based on our internally-aligned segment leadership structure, which is how we monitor results and assess performance. We have four major business segments: Consumer and Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Vehicle Finance, and Regional Banking and The Huntington Private Client Group (RBHPCG). The Treasury / Other function includes technology and operations, other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense.
Business segment results are determined based upon our management practices, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around our organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions.

Revenue Sharing
Revenue is recorded in the business segment responsible for the related product or service. Fee sharing is recorded to allocate portions of such revenue to other business segments involved in selling to, or providing service to customers. Results of operations for the business segments reflect these fee sharing allocations.
Expense Allocation
The management process that develops the business segment reporting utilizes various estimates and allocation methodologies to measure the performance of the business segments. Expenses are allocated to business segments using a two-phase approach. The first phase consists of measuring and assigning unit costs (activity-based costs) to activities related to product origination and servicing. These activity-based costs are then extended, based on volumes, with the resulting amount allocated to business segments that own the related products. The second phase consists of the allocation of overhead costs to all four business segments from Treasury / Other. We utilize a full-allocation methodology, where all Treasury / Other expenses, except reported Significant Items, and a small amount of other residual unallocated expenses, are allocated to the four business segments.

Table of Contents

Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP)
We use an active and centralized FTP methodology to attribute appropriate income to the business segments. The intent of the FTP methodology is to transfer interest rate risk from the business segments by providing matched duration funding of assets and liabilities. The result is to centralize the financial impact, management, and reporting of interest rate risk in the Treasury / Other function where it can be centrally monitored and managed. The Treasury / Other function charges (credits) an internal cost of funds for assets held in (or pays for funding provided by) each business segment. The FTP rate is based on prevailing market interest rates for comparable duration assets (or liabilities). A new methodology for establishing FTP rates was adopted in 2017, therefore, prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the new methodology.
Net Income by Business Segment
Net income by business segment for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 is presented in the following table:

Treasury / Other
The Treasury / Other function includes revenue and expense related to assets, liabilities, and equity not directly assigned or allocated to one of the four business segments. Assets include investment securities and bank owned life insurance.
Net interest income includes the impact of administering our investment securities portfolios, the net impact of derivatives used to hedge interest rate sensitivity as well as the financial impact associated with our FTP methodology, as described above. Noninterest income includes miscellaneous fee income not allocated to other business segments, such as bank owned life insurance income and securities and trading asset gains or losses. Noninterest expense includes certain corporate administrative, and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other business segments. The provision for income taxes for the business segments is calculated at a statutory 21% tax rate and a 35% percent tax rate for periods prior to January 1, 2018, although our overall effective tax rate is lower. As a result, Treasury / Other reflects a credit for income taxes representing the difference between the lower actual effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate used to allocate income taxes to the business segments.

2018 First Three Months versus 2017 First Three Months
Consumer and Business Banking, including Home Lending, reported net income of $100 million in the first three-month period of 2018, an increase of $35 million, or 54%, compared to the year-ago period. Segment net interest income increased $20 million, or 5%, primarily due to an increase in total average loans and deposits. Noninterest income increased $3 million, or 2%, due to an increase in card and payment processing income and service charges on deposit accounts, as a result of higher card-related transaction volumes. The provision for credit losses decreased $2 million, or 6%.
Home Lending, an operating unit of Consumer and Business Banking, reflects the result of the origination and servicing of mortgage loans less referral fees and net interest income for mortgage banking products distributed by the retail branch network and other business segments. Home Lending reported a loss of $5 million in the first three-month period of 2018, a decrease of $8 million, or 267%, compared to the year-ago period. Total revenues decreased $4 million, or 10%, largely due to lower net MSR hedge results and lower origination spreads, partially offset by higher origination volume and higher net interest income related to higher residential mortgage balances. In addition, noninterest expenses increased $7 million, or 20%, as a result of higher personnel costs due to higher origination volume, and higher allocated expenses.

2018 First Three Months versus 2017 First Three Months
Commercial Banking reported net income of $117 million in the first three-month period of 2018, an increase of $17 million, or 17%, compared to the year-ago period. Segment net interest income decreased $8 million, or 4%, primarily due to a 26 basis point decrease in net interest margin stemming from a decrease in the spread on loans/leases primarily due to lower accretion on the acquired book, product mix and cost of funds movement, partially offset by an increase in the spread on deposits and a 7% increase in average deposits compared to only a 2% increase in average loans/leases. Noninterest income increased $5 million, or 8%, largely driven by an increase in capital markets related revenues, equipment finance related fee income, international fees, and loan commitment and other fees, partially offset by a reduction in operating lease income. Noninterest expense increased $3 million, or 3%, primarily due to personnel expense and SAD related losses, partially offset by a decrease in operating lease expense.

2018 First Three Months versus 2017 First Three Months
Vehicle Finance reported net income of $42 million in the first three-month period of 2018, an increase of $2 million, or 5%, compared to the year-ago period, primarily reflecting the decrease in the provision for income taxes. Segment net interest income decreased $5 million or 5%, due to a 33 basis point decrease in the net interest margin primarily reflecting the continued run off of the acquired loan portfolios and the related purchase accounting impact. This decrease was offset in part by a $1.6 billion increase in average loan balances. Average automobile loans increased $1.0 billion driven by $6.2 billion of new automobile production over the past year, while average RV and marine finance loans increased $0.6 billion, reflecting the expansion of this acquired business into 17 new states. Noninterest income decreased $2 million, or 40%, primarily due to lower recoveries of acquired loans that were charged-off prior to acquisition as well as a decrease in net servicing income on securitized automobile loans. Noninterest expense decreased $1 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower personnel and outside servicing costs.

Statements that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as expect, anticipate, believe, intend, estimate, plan, target, goal, or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as will, may, might, should, would, could, or similar variations. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, below are certain factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements: changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions; uncertainty in U.S. fiscal and monetary policy, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success, impact, and timing of our business strategies, including market acceptance of any new products or services implementing our “Fair Play” banking philosophy; the nature, extent, timing, and results of governmental actions, examinations, reviews, reforms, regulations, and interpretations, including those related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Basel III regulatory capital reforms, as well as those involving the OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and CFPB; and other factors that may affect our future results. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available in the “Investor Relations” section of our website, http://www.huntington.com, under the heading “Publications and Filings” and in other documents we file with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. We do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Huntington’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found herein.
Significant Items
From time-to-time, revenue, expenses, or taxes are impacted by items judged by us to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by us at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. We refer to such items as Significant Items. Most often, these Significant Items result from factors originating outside the Company; e.g., regulatory actions / assessments, windfall gains, one-time tax assessments / refunds, litigation actions, etc. In other cases, they may result from our decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business; e.g., merger / restructuring charges, recapitalization actions, goodwill impairment, etc.
Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not define a Significant Item. For example, changes in the provision for credit losses, gains / losses from investment activities, asset valuation writedowns, etc., reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as a Significant Item.
We believe the disclosure of Significant Items provides a better understanding of our performance and trends to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of our performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance accordingly. To this end, we adopted a practice of listing Significant Items in our external disclosure documents; e.g., earnings press releases, investor presentations, Forms 10-Q and 10-K.
Significant Items for any particular period are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.
Fully-Taxable Equivalent Basis
Interest income, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures.  Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes.  The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.  The FTE basis assumes a federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent and 35 percent for the 2018 and 2017 periods, respectively. We encourage readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this Form 10-Q in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Non-Regulatory Capital Ratios
In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, the Company considers various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including:
Tangible common equity to tangible assets, and
Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel III definitions.
These non-regulatory capital ratios are viewed by management as useful additional methods of reflecting the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these ratios allows readers to compare the Company’s capitalization to other financial services companies. These ratios differ from capital ratios defined by banking regulators principally in that the numerator excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, the nature and extent of which varies among different financial services companies. These ratios are not defined in GAAP or federal banking regulations. As a result, these non-regulatory capital ratios disclosed by the Company are considered non-GAAP financial measures.
Because there are no standardized definitions for these non-regulatory capital ratios, the Company’s calculation methods may differ from those used by other financial services companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this Form 10-Q in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to establish accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our December 31, 2017 Form 10-K, as supplemented by this report including this MD&A, describes the significant accounting policies we used in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
An accounting estimate requires assumptions and judgments about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are made under facts and circumstances at a point in time, and changes in those facts and circumstances could produce results substantially different from those estimates. Our most significant accounting estimates relate to our ACL, valuation of financial instruments, contingent liabilities, income taxes, and deferred tax assets/liabilities. These significant accounting estimates and their related application are discussed in our December 31, 2017 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements discusses new accounting pronouncements adopted during 2018 and the expected impact of accounting pronouncements recently issued but not yet required to be adopted. To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards materially affect financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, the impacts are discussed in the applicable section of this MD&A and the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Huntington reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position, the results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Huntington’s 2017 Form 10-K, which include descriptions of significant accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements.
For statement of cash flow purposes, cash and cash equivalents are defined as the sum of “Cash and due from banks” which includes amounts on deposit with the Federal Reserve and “Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.”
In conjunction with applicable accounting standards, all material subsequent events have been either recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosed in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
Issued May 2014
- Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance.

- Guidance sets forth a five step approach for revenue recognition.
- Huntington adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

- Management's analysis included:
(a) Identification of all revenue streams included in the financial statements;
(b) Determination of scope exclusions to identify ‘in-scope’ revenue streams;
(c) Determination of size, timing, and amount of revenue recognition for in-scope items;
(d) Identification of contracts for further analysis; and
(e) Completion of a review of certain contracts to evaluate the potential impact of the new guidance.

3. LOANS / LEASES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Loans and leases which Huntington has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as loans and leases. Except for loans which are either accounted for at fair value or purchased credit-impaired, loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized premiums and discounts and deferred loan fees and costs, which resulted in a net balance of $359 million and $334 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Huntington maintains two reserves, both of which reflect Management’s judgment regarding the appropriate level necessary to absorb probable and estimable credit losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date: the ALLL and the AULC. Combined, these reserves comprise the total ACL. The determination of the ACL requires significant estimates, including the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and leases, consideration of current economic conditions, and historical loss experience pertaining to pools of homogeneous loans and leases, all of which may be susceptible to change. See Note 1 “Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a description of the accounting policies related to the ACL.
The ACL is increased through a provision for credit losses that is charged to earnings, based on Management’s quarterly evaluation and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The following table presents ALLL and AULC activity by portfolio segment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Credit Quality Indicators
See Note 4 “Loans / Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses” to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a description of the credit quality indicators Huntington utilizes for monitoring credit quality and for determining an appropriate ACL level.
To facilitate the monitoring of credit quality for C&I and CRE loans, and for purposes of determining an appropriate ACL level for these loans, Huntington utilizes the following internally defined categories of credit grades:
Pass - Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.
OLEM - The credit risk may be relatively minor yet represents a risk given certain specific circumstances. If the potential weaknesses are not monitored or mitigated, the loan may weaken or the collateral may be inadequate to protect Huntington’s position in the future. For these reasons, Huntington considers the loans to be potential problem loans.
Substandard - Inadequately protected loans by the borrower’s ability to repay, equity, and/or the collateral pledged to secure the loan. These loans have identified weaknesses that could hinder normal repayment or collection of the debt. It is likely Huntington will sustain some loss if any identified weaknesses are not mitigated.
Doubtful - Loans that have all of the weaknesses inherent in those loans classified as Substandard, with the added elements of the full collection of the loan is improbable and that the possibility of loss is high.
The categories above, which are derived from standard regulatory rating definitions, are assigned upon initial approval of the loan or lease and subsequently updated as appropriate.
Commercial loans categorized as OLEM, Substandard, or Doubtful are considered Criticized loans. Commercial loans categorized as Substandard or Doubtful are both considered Classified loans.

These tables do not include loans fully charged-off.
(2)
All automobile, RV and marine finance and other consumer impaired loans included in these tables are considered impaired due to their status as a TDR.
(3)
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, C&I loans of $399 million and $382 million, respectively, were considered impaired due to their status as a TDR.
(4)
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, CRE loans of $92 million and $93 million, respectively, were considered impaired due to their status as a TDR.
(5)
Includes home equity and residential mortgages considered to be collateral dependent due to their non-accrual status as well as home equity and mortgage loans considered impaired due to their status as a TDR.
(6)

TDR Loans
TDRs are modified loans where a concession was provided to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Loan modifications are considered TDRs when the concessions provided are not available to the borrower through either normal channels or other sources. However, not all loan modifications are TDRs. See Note 4 “Loans / Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses” to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for an additional discussion of TDRs.

4. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES
Upon adoption of ASU 2017-12, Huntington transferred $2.8 billion of securities eligible to be hedged under the last-of-layer method from the HTM portfolio to the AFS portfolio. At the time of the transfer, $26 million of unrealized losses were recognized in OCI. Concurrently, Huntington transferred $2.7 billion of securities from the AFS portfolio to the HTM portfolio. At the time of the transfer, AOCI included $56 million of unrealized losses attributed to these securities. This loss will be recognized and amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the securities.

Security Impairment
Huntington evaluates the available-for-sale securities portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment and conducts a comprehensive security-level assessment on all available-for-sale securities. Impairment would exist when the present value of the expected cash flows are not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances, any credit impairment would be recognized in earnings. During the 2018 first quarter, Huntington sold the remaining trust preferred CDO securities resulting in a gain of $3 million. As of March 31, 2018, the Huntington has evaluated available-for-sale securities with gross unrealized losses for impairment and concluded no OTTI is required.
5. HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES
These are debt securities that Huntington has the intent and ability to hold until maturity. The debt securities are carried at amortized cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the interest method.
See Note 4 "Available -for-sale- securities" regarding the transfers between the securities portfolios during the 2018 first quarter.
Listed below are the contractual maturities of held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs occur, the precise terms and conditions are typically not readily available. Therefore, the fair value of MSRs is estimated using a discounted future cash flow model. The model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees and assumptions related to prepayments, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, costs to service, and other economic factors. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the valuation of MSRs.
MSR values are very sensitive to movements in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected outstanding principal balances of the underlying loans, which can be greatly impacted by the level of prepayments. Huntington economically hedges the value of certain MSRs against changes in value attributable to changes in interest rates using a combination of derivative instruments and trading securities.
For MSRs under the amortization method, a summary of key assumptions and the sensitivity of the MSR value to changes in these assumptions at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 follows:

Additionally, Huntington held MSRs recorded using the fair value method of $12 million and $13 million at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The change in fair value representing time decay, payoffs and changes in valuation inputs and assumptions for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1 million and less than $1 million, respectively.
Total servicing, late and other ancillary fees included in mortgage banking income were $15 million and $14 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $20.1 billion and $19.8 billion at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Automobile Loans
Huntington has retained servicing responsibilities on sold automobile loans and receives annual servicing fees and other ancillary fees on the outstanding loan balances. Automobile loan servicing rights are accounted for using the amortization method. A servicing asset is established at fair value at the time of the sale. The servicing asset is then amortized against servicing income. Impairment, if any, is recognized when carrying value exceeds the fair value as determined by calculating the present value of expected net future cash flows. The primary risk characteristic for measuring servicing assets is payoff rates of the underlying loan pools. Valuation calculations rely on the predicted payoff assumption and, if actual payoffs are faster than expected, then future value could be impaired.

Series B, D and C of preferred stock has a liquidation value and redemption price per share of $1,000, plus any declared and unpaid dividends. Series E stock has a liquidation value and redemption price per share of $100,000, plus any declared and unpaid dividends. All preferred stock has no stated maturity and redemption is solely at the option of the Company. Under current rules, any redemption of the preferred stock is subject to prior approval of the FRB.
Preferred A Stock conversion
On February 21, 2018, Huntington elected to effect the conversion of all of its outstanding 8.50% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. On February 21, 2018, the closing sale price of the Common Stock was $15.73, which marked the 20th trading day in the previous 30 consecutive trading days that the Common Stock closed above $15.54 (which is equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock of $11.95 currently in effect), triggering the right of Huntington Bancshares to elect to mandatorily convert all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. On February 22, 2018, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was converted into 83.668 shares of Common Stock. Upon conversion, the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding and all rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock were ceased and terminated, except the right to receive the number of whole shares and any required cash-in-lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. Following the conversion, the Series A Preferred Stock shares were delisted from trading on NASDAQ.
Preferred E Stock issued and outstanding
During the 2018 first quarter, Huntington issued $500 million of preferred stock. Huntington issued 500,000 depositary shares, each depositary shares representing a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of 5.700% Series E Fixed-to-Floating Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Preferred E Stock), par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share). Each holder of a depositary share will be entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Preferred E Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption, and liquidation rights). Costs of $5 million related to the issuance of the Preferred E Stock are reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the stock.
Dividends on the Preferred E Stock will be non-cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears, when, as and if authorized by the Company's board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board and declared by the Company, at an annual rate of 5.700% per year on the liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share. The dividend payment dates will be the fifteenth day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on July 15, 2018, or the next business day if any such day is not a business day.
The Preferred E Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. Huntington may redeem the Preferred E Stock at its option, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after April 15, 2023 or (ii) in whole but not in part, within 90 days following a change in laws or regulations, in each case, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without regard to any undeclared dividends, on the Series E Preferred Stock prior to the date fixed for redemption. If Huntington redeems the Preferred E Stock, the depositary will redeem a proportional number of depositary shares. Neither the holders of Preferred E Stock nor holders of depositary shares will have the right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Preferred E Stock or the depositary shares. Any redemption of the Preferred E Stock is subject to Huntington's receipt of any required prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

2017 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR)
On June 28, 2017, Huntington was notified by the Federal Reserve that it had no objection to Huntington's proposed capital actions included in Huntington's capital plan submitted in the 2017 CCAR. These actions included a 38% increase in quarterly dividend per common share to $0.11, starting in the fourth quarter of 2017, the repurchase of up to $308 million of common stock over the next four quarters (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018), subject to authorization by the Board of Directors, and maintaining dividends on the outstanding classes of preferred stock and trust preferred securities.
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings (adjusted for dividends declared on preferred stock) available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issued for stock options, restricted stock units and awards, distributions from deferred compensation plans, and the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share during periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.
On February 22, 2018, Huntington converted of all its outstanding 8.50% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock to 30.3 million shares of common stock. Following the conversion, the additional shares were included in average common shares issued and outstanding. The 2018 total diluted average common shares issued and outstanding was impacted by using the if-converted method. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

There were approximately 0.1 million and 0.9 million of options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

11. NONINTEREST INCOME
Huntington earns a variety of revenue including interest and fees from customers as well as revenues from non-customers. Certain sources of revenue are recognized within interest or fee income and are outside of the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Other sources of revenue fall within the scope of ASC 606 and are generally recognized within ‘noninterest income’. These revenues are included within various sections of the consolidated financial statements. The following table shows Huntington’s total noninterest income segregated between contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 and those within the scope of other GAAP Topics.

Huntington recognizes revenue when the performance obligations related to the transfer of goods or services under the terms of a contract are satisfied. Some obligations are satisfied at a point in time while others are satisfied over a period of time. Revenue is recognized as the amount of consideration to which Huntington expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. When consideration includes a variable component, the amount of consideration attributable to variability is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that significant revenue recognized will not be reversed when uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Generally, the variability relating to the consideration is explicitly stated in the contracts, but may also arise from Huntington's customer business practice, for example, waiving certain fees related to customer’s deposit accounts such as non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) fees. Huntington's contracts generally do not contain terms that require significant judgement to determine the variability impacting the transaction price.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration Huntington expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services. Revenue is segregated based on the nature of product and services offered as part of contractual arrangements. Revenue from contracts with customers is broadly segregated as follows.
Service charge on deposit accounts include fees and other charges Huntington receives to provide various services, including but not limited to, maintaining an account with a customer, providing overdraft services, wire transfer, transferring funds, and accepting and executing stop-payment orders. The consideration includes both fixed (e.g., account maintenance fee) and transaction fees (e.g., wire-transfer fee). The fixed fee is recognized over a period of time while the transaction fee is recognized when a specific service (e.g., execution of wire-transfer) is rendered to the customer. Huntington may, from time to time, waive certain fees (e.g., NSF fee) for customers but generally do not reduce the transaction price to reflect variability for future reversals due to the insignificance of the amounts. Waiver of fees reduces the revenue in the period the waiver is granted to the customer.
Cards and payment processing income includes interchange fee earned on debit cards and credit cards. All other fees (e.g. annual fees), and interest income are recognized in accordance with ASC 310. Huntington recognizes interchange fees for services performed related to authorization and settlement of a cardholder’s transaction with a merchant. Revenue is recognized when a cardholder’s transaction is approved and settled. The revenue may be constrained due to inherent uncertainty related to cardholder’s right to return goods and services but the uncertainty is resolved within a short period of time (generally within 30 days) and the amount of returns was not material for the reporting period ended March 31, 2018. Revenue is not adjusted for such variability, rather returns reduce the amount of interchange revenue in the period the return is made by the customer.
Certain volume or transaction based interchange expenses (net of rebates) paid to the payment network reduce the interchange revenue and is presented net on the income statement. Similarly, rewards payable under a reward program to cardholders are recognized as a reduction of the transaction price and are presented net against the interchange revenue.

Trust and investment management services income includes fee income generated from personal, corporate and institutional customers. Huntington also provides investment management services, cash management services as well as tax reporting to customers. Services are rendered over a period of time, over which revenue is recognized. Huntington may also recognize revenue from referring a customer to outside third-parties including mutual fund companies that pay distribution (12b-1) fees and other expenses. 12b-1 fees are received upon initially placing account holder’s funds with a mutual fund company as well as in the future periods as long as the account holder (i.e., the fund investor), remains invested in the fund. The transaction price includes variable consideration which is considered constrained as it is not probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Accordingly, those fees are recognized as revenue when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, that is, initial fees are recognized in the initial period while the future fees are recognized in future periods. Trust and investment management services also include commissions that are earned for placing a brokerage transaction for execution such as stocks or other investments. Revenue is recognized once the transaction is executed and Huntington is entitled to receive consideration.
Insurance income include agency commissions that are recognized when Huntington sells insurance policies to customers. Huntington is also entitled to renewal commissions and, in some cases, profit sharing which are recognized in subsequent periods. The initial commission is recognized when the insurance policy is sold to a customer. Renewal commission is variable consideration and is recognized in subsequent periods when the uncertainty around variable consideration is subsequently resolved (i.e., when customer renews the policy). Profit sharing is also a variable consideration that is not recognized until the variability surrounding realization of revenue is resolved (i.e., Huntington have reached a minimum volume of sales). Another source of variability is the ability of the policy holder to cancel the policy anytime and in such cases, Huntington may be required, under the terms of the contract, to return part of the commission received. The variability related to cancellation of the policy is not deemed significant and thus, does not impact the amount of revenue recognized. In the event the policyholder chooses to cancel the policy at any time, the revenue for amounts which qualify for claw-back are reversed in the period the cancellation occurs.
Other noninterest income includes a variety of other revenue streams including capital markets revenue, consumer fees and marketing allowance revenue. Revenue is recognized when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. Inherent variability in the transaction price is not recognized until the uncertainty affecting the variability is resolved.
Control is transferred to a customer either at a point in time or over time. A performance obligation is deemed satisfied when the control over goods or services is transferred to the customer. To determine when control is transferred at a point in time, Huntington considers indicators, including but not limited to the right to payment for the asset, transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the asset and acceptance of asset by the customer. When control is transferred over a period of time, for different performance obligations, either the input or output method is used to determine the progress. The measure of progress used to assess completion of the performance obligation varies between performance obligations and may be based on time throughout the period of service or on the value of goods and services transferred to the customer. As each distinct service or activity is performed, Huntington transfers control to the customer based on the services performed as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits of those services. This timing of revenue recognition aligns with the resolution of any uncertainty related to variable consideration. Costs incurred to obtain a revenue producing contract is expensed when incurred as a practical expedient as the contractual period for majority of contracts is one year or less.
Revenue is recorded in the business segment responsible for the related product or service. Fee sharing arrangements exist to allocate portions of such revenue to other business segments involved in selling to, or providing service to, customers. Business segment results are determined based upon management's reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around Huntington's organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions.

Huntington generally provides services for customers in which it acts as principal. Payment terms and conditions vary amongst services and customers, and thus impact the timing and amount of revenue recognition. Some fees may be paid before any service is rendered and accordingly, such fees are deferred until the obligations pertaining to those fees are satisfied. Most Huntington contracts with customers are cancelable by either party without penalty or; they are short-term in nature, with a contract duration of less than one year. Accordingly, most revenue deferred for the reporting period ended March 31, 2018 is expected to be earned within one year. Huntington does not have significant balances of contract assets or contract liabilities and any change in those balances during the reporting period ended March 31, 2018 was determined to be immaterial.
12. BENEFIT PLANS
Huntington sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees hired or rehired prior to January 1, 2010. The plan, which was modified in 2013, no longer accrues service benefits to participants and provides benefits based upon length of service and compensation levels. Huntington's funding policy is to contribute an annual amount that is at least equal to the minimum funding requirements but not more than the amount deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. There is no required minimum contribution for 2018.
In addition, Huntington has a defined benefit post-retirement plan that provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to retired employees who have attained the age of 55 and have at least 10 years of vesting service under this plan. For additional information on benefit plans, see the Benefit Plan footnote in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Huntington has a defined contribution plan that is available to eligible employees. Beginning January 1, 2018, Huntington increased the company match. Huntington matches participant contributions, up to the first 5% of base pay that is contributed to the defined contribution plan. Huntington's expense related to the defined contribution plans during the first quarter 2018 and 2017 was $11 million and $11 million, respectively.

Amounts represent the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to settle positive and negative positions and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties.
The tables below present a rollforward of the balance sheet amounts for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3. The classification of an item as Level 3 is based on the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 measurements may also include observable components of value that can be validated externally. Accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

Assets and Liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Certain assets and liabilities may be required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

MSRs accounted for under the amortization method are subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement when the fair value is lower than the carrying amount.
Periodically, Huntington records nonrecurring adjustments of collateral-dependent loans measured for impairment when establishing the ALLL. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the fair value of the collateral and incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties and cost of construction. In cases where the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, an impairment charge is recognized.
Other real estate owned properties are included in accrued income and other assets and valued based on appraisals and third-party price opinions.

The following provides a general description of the impact of a change in an unobservable input on the fair value measurement and the interrelationship between unobservable inputs, where relevant/significant. Interrelationships may also exist between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been included in the discussion below.
A significant change in the unobservable inputs may result in a significant change in the ending fair value measurement of Level 3 instruments. In general, prepayment rates increase when market interest rates decline and decrease when market interest rates rise and higher prepayment rates generally resulting in lower fair values for MSR assets and asset-backed securities.
Credit loss estimates, such as probability of default, constant default, cumulative default, loss given default, cure given deferral, and loss severity, are driven by the ability of the borrowers to pay their loans and the value of the underlying collateral and are impacted by changes in macroeconomic conditions, typically increasing when economic conditions worsen and decreasing when conditions improve. An increase in the estimated prepayment rate typically results in a decrease in estimated credit losses and vice versa. Higher credit loss estimates generally result in lower fair values. Credit spreads generally increase when liquidity risks and market volatility increase and decrease when liquidity conditions and market volatility improve.
Discount rates and spread over forward interest rate swap rates typically increase when market interest rates increase and/or credit and liquidity risks increase and decrease when market interest rates decline and/or credit and liquidity conditions improve. Higher discount rates and credit spreads generally result in lower fair market values.
Net market price and pull through percentages generally increase when market interest rates increase and decline when market interest rates decline. Higher net market price and pull through percentages generally result in higher fair values.

The short-term nature of certain assets and liabilities result in their carrying value approximating fair value. These include trading account securities, customers’ acceptance liabilities, short-term borrowings, bank acceptances outstanding, FHLB advances, and cash and short-term assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Loan commitments and letters-of-credit generally have short-term, variable-rate features and contain clauses that limit Huntington’s exposure to changes in customer credit quality. Accordingly, their carrying values, which are immaterial at the respective balance sheet dates, are reasonable estimates of fair value.
Certain assets, the most significant being operating lease assets, bank owned life insurance, and premises and equipment, do not meet the definition of a financial instrument and are excluded from this disclosure. Similarly, mortgage and nonmortgage servicing rights, deposit base, and other customer relationship intangibles are not considered financial instruments and are not included above. Accordingly, this fair value information is not intended to, and does not, represent Huntington’s underlying value. Many of the assets and liabilities subject to the disclosure requirements are not actively traded, requiring fair values to be estimated by Management. These estimations necessarily involve the use of judgment about a wide variety of factors, including but not limited to, relevancy of market prices of comparable instruments, expected future cash flows, and appropriate discount rates.

Derivatives used in asset and liability management activities
Huntington engages in balance sheet hedging activity, principally for asset and liability management purposes, to convert fixed rate assets or liabilities into floating rate, or vice versa. Balance sheet hedging activity is arranged to receive hedge accounting treatment and is classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. Fair value hedges are purchased to convert subordinated and other long-term debt from fixed-rate obligations to floating rate. Cash flow hedges are also used to convert floating rate loans into fixed rate loans.

These derivative financial instruments are entered into to manage the interest rate risk of assets and liabilities. Consequently, net amounts receivable or payable on contracts hedging either interest earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities are an adjustment to either interest income or interest expense. The net amounts resulted in an increase to net interest income of $1 million and $10 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
Fair Value Hedges
The changes in fair value of the fair value hedges are recorded through earnings and offset against changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

Derivatives used in mortgage banking activities
Mortgage loan origination hedging activity
Huntington’s mortgage origination hedging activity is related to the hedging of the mortgage pricing commitments to customers and the secondary sale to third parties. The value of a newly originated mortgage is not firm until the interest rate is committed or locked. The interest rate lock commitments are derivative positions offset by forward commitments to sell loans.
Huntington uses two types of mortgage-backed securities in its forward commitments to sell loans. The first type of forward commitment is a “To Be Announced” (or TBA), the second is a “Specified Pool” mortgage-backed security. Huntington uses these derivatives to hedge the value of mortgage-backed securities until they are sold.

MSR hedging activity
Huntington’s MSR economic hedging activity uses securities and derivatives to manage the value of the MSR asset and to mitigate the various types of risk inherent in the MSR asset, including risks related to duration, basis, convexity, volatility, and yield curve. The hedging instruments include forward commitments, interest rate swaps, and options on interest rate swaps.
The total notional value of these derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, was $125 million and $188 million, respectively. The total notional amount at March 31, 2018 corresponds to trading assets with a fair value of less than $1 million and no trading liabilities. Net trading gains and (losses) related to MSR hedging for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, were $(8) million and $(1) million, respectively. These amounts are included in mortgage banking income in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Derivatives used in customer related activities
Various derivative financial instruments are offered to enable customers to meet their financing and investing objectives and for their risk management purposes. Derivative financial instruments used in trading activities consist of commodity, interest rate, and foreign exchange contracts. Huntington may enter into offsetting third-party contracts with approved, reputable counterparties with substantially matching terms and currencies in order to economically hedge significant exposure related to derivatives used in trading activities.
The interest rate risk of customer derivatives is mitigated by entering into similar derivatives having offsetting terms with other counterparties. The credit risk to these customers is evaluated and included in the calculation of fair value. Foreign currency derivatives help the customer hedge risk and reduce exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. Transactions are primarily in liquid currencies with Canadian dollars and Euros comprising a majority of all transactions. Commodity derivatives help the customer hedge risk and reduce exposure to fluctuations in the price of various commodities. Hedging of energy-related products and base metals comprise the majority of all transactions.
The net fair values of these derivative financial instruments, for which the gross amounts are included in accrued income and other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were $90 million and $88 million, respectively. The total notional values of derivative financial instruments used by Huntington on behalf of customers, including offsetting derivatives, were $22.7 billion and $22.0 billion at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Huntington’s credit risk from interest rate swaps used for trading purposes was $53 million and $119 million at the same dates, respectively.
Visa®-related Swap
In connection with the sale of Huntington’s Class B Visa® shares, Huntington entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B shares resulting from changes in the Visa® litigation. In connection with the FirstMerit acquisition, Huntington acquired an additional Visa® related swap agreement. At March 31, 2018, the combined fair value of the swap liabilities of $5 million is an estimate of the exposure liability based upon Huntington’s assessment of the potential Visa® litigation losses and timing of the litigation settlement.
Financial assets and liabilities that are offset in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Huntington records derivatives at fair value as further described in Note 13.
Derivative balances are presented on a net basis taking into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements. Additionally, collateral exchanged with counterparties is also netted against the applicable derivative fair values. Huntington enters into derivative transactions with two primary groups: broker-dealers and banks, and Huntington’s customers. Different methods are utilized for managing counterparty credit exposure and credit risk for each of these groups.
Huntington enters into transactions with broker-dealers and banks for various risk management purposes. These types of transactions generally are high dollar volume. Huntington enters into bilateral collateral and master netting agreements with these counterparties, and routinely exchanges cash and high quality securities collateral. Huntington enters into transactions with customers to meet their financing, investing, payment and risk management needs. These types of transactions generally

77

Table of Contents

are low dollar volume. Huntington enters into master netting agreements with customer counterparties; however, collateral is generally not exchanged with customer counterparties.
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, aggregate credit risk associated with these derivatives, net of collateral that has been pledged by the counterparty, was $27 million and $30 million, respectively. The credit risk associated with interest rate swaps is calculated after considering master netting agreements with broker-dealers and banks.
At March 31, 2018, Huntington pledged $95 million of investment securities and cash collateral to counterparties, while other counterparties pledged $74 million of investment securities and cash collateral to Huntington to satisfy collateral netting agreements. In the event of credit downgrades, Huntington would not be required to provide additional collateral.
The following tables present the gross amounts of these assets and liabilities with any offsets to arrive at the net amounts recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The securitizations and the resulting sale of all underlying securities qualified for sale accounting. Huntington has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these trusts because it has neither the obligation to absorb losses of the entities that could potentially be significant to the VIEs nor the right to receive benefits from the entities that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Huntington is not required and does not currently intend to provide any additional financial support to the trusts. Investors and creditors only have recourse to the assets held by the trusts. The interest Huntington holds in the VIEs relates to servicing rights which are included within accrued income and other assets of Huntington’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum exposure to loss is equal to the carrying value of the servicing asset. See Note 7 for more information.
Trust-Preferred Securities
Huntington has certain wholly-owned trusts whose assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses are not included within Huntington’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These trusts have been formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust-preferred securities, from which the proceeds are then invested in Huntington junior subordinated debentures, which are reflected in Huntington’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as long-term debt. The trust securities are the obligations of the trusts, and as such, are not consolidated within Huntington’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Each issue of the junior subordinated debentures has an interest rate equal to the corresponding trust securities distribution rate. Huntington has the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures at any time, or from time-to-time for a period not exceeding five years provided that no extension period may extend beyond the stated maturity of the related debentures. During any such extension period, distributions to the trust securities will also be deferred and Huntington’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock will be restricted. Periodic cash payments and payments upon liquidation or redemption with respect to trust securities are guaranteed by Huntington to the extent of funds held by the trusts. The guarantee ranks subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness of the Company to the same extent as the junior subordinated debt. The guarantee does not place a limitation on the amount of additional indebtedness that may be incurred by Huntington.
Affordable Housing Tax Credit Partnerships
Huntington makes certain equity investments in various limited partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, to facilitate the sale of additional affordable housing product offerings, and to assist in achieving goals associated with the Community Reinvestment Act. The primary activities of the limited partnerships include the identification, development, and operation of multi-family housing that is leased to qualifying residential tenants. Generally, these types of investments are funded through a combination of debt and equity.

Huntington uses the proportional amortization method to account for a majority of its investments in these entities. These investments are included in accrued income and other assets. Investments that do not meet the requirements of the proportional amortization method are recognized using the equity method. Investment losses related to these investments are included in noninterest income in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Commitments to extend credit
In the ordinary course of business, Huntington makes various commitments to extend credit that are not reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The contract amounts of these financial agreements at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows:

Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates, are variable-rate, and contain clauses that permit Huntington to terminate or otherwise renegotiate the contracts in the event of a significant deterioration in the customer’s credit quality. These arrangements normally require the payment of a fee by the customer, the pricing of which is based on prevailing market conditions, credit quality, probability of funding, and other relevant factors. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements. The interest rate risk arising from these financial instruments is insignificant as a result of their predominantly short-term, variable-rate nature.

80

Table of Contents

Standby letters-of-credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most of these arrangements mature within two years. The carrying amount of deferred revenue associated with these guarantees was $11 million and $10 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Commercial letters-of-credit represent short-term, self-liquidating instruments that facilitate customer trade transactions and generally have maturities of no longer than 90 days. The goods or cargo being traded normally secures these instruments.
Commitments to sell loans
Activity related to our mortgage origination activity supports the hedging of the mortgage pricing commitments to customers and the secondary sale to third parties. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Huntington had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $0.8 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of business, Huntington is routinely a defendant in or party to pending and threatened legal and regulatory actions and proceedings.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, Huntington generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each matter may be.
Huntington establishes an accrued liability when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. Huntington thereafter continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established.
For certain matters, Huntington is able to estimate a range of possible loss. In cases in which Huntington possesses information to estimate a range of possible loss, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed below. There may be other matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but such an estimate of the range of possible loss may not be possible. For those matters where an estimate of the range of possible loss is possible, management currently estimates the aggregate range of possible loss is $0 to $30 million at March 31, 2018 in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. The estimated range of possible loss does not represent Huntington’s maximum loss exposure.
Information is provided below regarding the nature of all of these contingencies and, where specified, the amount of the claim associated with these loss contingencies. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, including the matters described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of Huntington. Further, management believes that amounts previously accrued are adequate to address Huntington’s contingent liabilities. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond Huntington’s control, and the large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to Huntington’s results of operations for any particular reporting period.
Meoli v. The Huntington National Bank (Cyberco Litigation). The parties reached an agreement in principle on January 31, 2018 to settle the matter. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the settlement on April 16, 2018, which order will become final on April 30, 2018.
Powell v. The Huntington National Bank. During the 2018 first quarter, the parties settled for a sum that was both immaterial and fully accrued.
17. SEGMENT REPORTING
Huntington's business segments are based on our internally-aligned segment leadership structure, which is how management monitors results and assesses performance. The Company has four major business segments: Consumer and Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Vehicle Finance, Regional Banking and The Huntington Private Client Group (RBHPCG). The Treasury / Other function includes technology and operations, other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense.

81

Table of Contents

Business segment results are determined based upon Huntington's management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around the organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.
Revenue is recorded in the business segment responsible for the related product or service. Fee sharing is recorded to allocate portions of such revenue to other business segments involved in selling to, or providing service to customers. Results of operations for the business segments reflect these fee-sharing allocations.
The management process that develops the business segment reporting utilizes various estimates and allocation methodologies to measure the performance of the business segments. Expenses are allocated to business segments using a two-phase approach. The first phase consists of measuring and assigning unit costs (activity-based costs) to activities related to product origination and servicing. These activity-based costs are then extended, based on volumes, with the resulting amount allocated to business segments that own the related products. The second phase consists of the allocation of overhead costs to all four business segments from Treasury / Other. Huntington utilizes a full-allocation methodology, where all Treasury / Other expenses, except reported Significant Items, and a small amount of other residual unallocated expenses, are allocated to the four business segments.
The management policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to GAAP. As a result, reported segment results are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures result in changes in reported segment financial data. Accordingly, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Huntington uses an active and centralized FTP methodology to attribute appropriate net interest income to the business segments. The intent of the FTP methodology is to transfer interest rate risk from the business segments by providing matched duration funding of assets and liabilities. The result is to centralize the financial impact, management, and reporting of interest rate risk in the Treasury / Other function where it can be centrally monitored and managed. The Treasury / Other function charges (credits) an internal cost of funds for assets held in (or pays for funding provided by) each business segment. The FTP rate is based on prevailing market interest rates for comparable duration assets (or liabilities). A new methodology for establishing FTP rates was adopted in 2017, therefore prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the new methodology.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures for the current period can be found in the Market Risk section of this report, which includes changes in market risk exposures from disclosures presented in Huntington’s 2017 Form 10-K.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Huntington maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Huntington’s Management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Huntington’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2018. Based upon such evaluation, Huntington’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2018, Huntington’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
