PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
When we refer to “we”, “our”, and “us”, “Huntington”, and “the Company” in this report, we mean Huntington Bancshares Incorporated and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates that we refer only to the parent company, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated. When we refer to the “Bank” in this report, we mean our only bank subsidiary, The Huntington National Bank, and its subsidiaries.
Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
INTRODUCTION
We are a multi-state diversified regional bank holding company organized under Maryland law in 1966 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Through the Bank, we have over 150 years of servicing the financial needs of our customers. Through our subsidiaries, we provide full-service commercial and consumer banking services, mortgage banking services, automobile financing, recreational vehicle and marine financing, equipment financing, investment management, trust services, brokerage services, insurance products and services, and other financial products and services. Our 814 full-service branches and private client group offices are located in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Select financial services and other activities are also conducted in various other states. International banking services are available through the headquarters office in Columbus, Ohio. Our foreign banking activities, in total or with any individual country, are not significant.
On December 13, 2020, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement (the “TCF/Huntington Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, TCF Financial Corporation, the parent company of TCF National Bank will merge into Huntington in an all-stock transaction. TCF is a financial holding company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan with reported total assets of $47.8 billion based on their balance sheet at December 31, 2020.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, TCF shareholders will receive 3.0028 shares of Huntington common stock for each share of TCF common stock. Holders of TCF common stock will also receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Each outstanding share of 5.70% Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of TCF will be converted into the right to receive one share of a newly created series of preferred stock of Huntington.
This MD&A provides information we believe necessary for understanding our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The MD&A included in our 2020 Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with this MD&A as this discussion provides only material updates to the 2020 Form 10-K. This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information contained in this report.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Summary of 2021 First Quarter Results Compared to 2020 First Quarter
For the quarter, we reported net income of $532 million, or $0.48 per common share, compared with $48 million, or $0.03 per common share, in the year-ago quarter.
Fully-taxable equivalent net interest income was $978 million, up $182 million, or 23%, from the year-ago quarter. This increase reflected the benefit from the $12.3 billion, or 12%, increase in average earning assets and a 34 basis point increase in the FTE net interest margin to 3.48%.
The provision for credit losses decreased $501 million year-over-year to $(60) million in the 2021 first quarter. Net charge-offs decreased $53 million to $64 million. Both Commercial NCOs of $49 million and Consumer NCOs of $15 million were down on both a year-over-year basis. Total NCOs represented an annualized 0.32% of average loans and leases in the current quarter, down from 0.62% in the year-ago quarter.
Noninterest income was $395 million, up $34 million, or 9%, from the year ago quarter. Mortgage banking income increased $42 million, or 72%. Partially offsetting these increases, service charges on deposit accounts decreased $18 million, or 21%.

Noninterest expense for the 2021 first quarter increased $141 million, or 22%, from the year-ago quarter Personnel costs increased $73 million, or 18%. Outside data processing and other services increased $30 million, or 35%. Other noninterest expense increased $22 million, or 43%, primarily reflecting a $25 million donation to The Columbus Foundation.
Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.33%, up from 9.47% a year ago. The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.32% compared to 10.81% at March 31, 2020. The increase in regulatory capital ratios was driven by earnings, adjusted for the CECL transition, offset by the repurchase of $5 million of common stock over the last four quarters (all during 2020 fourth quarter) and cash dividends. The balance sheet growth impact on regulatory capital ratios was largely offset by a change in asset mix during 2020 related to the PPP loans and elevated deposits at the Federal Reserve, both of which are 0% risk weighted. The regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio also reflects the issuance of $500 million of Series F preferred stock, $500 million of Series G preferred stock and $500 million of Series H preferred stock in the 2020 second quarter, 2020 third quarter, and 2021 first quarter, respectively.
Business Overview
General
Our general business objectives are:
•Consistent organic revenue and balance sheet growth.
•Invest in our businesses, particularly technology and risk management.
•Deliver positive long-term operating leverage.
•Maintain aggregate moderate-to-low risk appetite.
•Disciplined capital management.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant, unprecedented disruption that affects daily living and negatively impacts the economy. As further discussed in “Discussion of Results of Operations,” the current interest rate environment, borrower and counterparty credit quality and market volatility, among other factors, continue to impact our performance. Though we are unable to estimate the magnitude, we expect the pandemic and the resulting economic environment will continue to affect our future operating results.
Huntington was able to react quickly to the changes required by the pandemic because of the commitment and flexibility of its workforce coupled with well-prepared business continuity plans. While state and local governments have eased temporary business closures and we have opened our branches, we expect our colleagues who have been operating remotely to continue for a period of time. While the approved vaccines are being administered throughout our footprint, it remains unknown when, or if, there will be a return to historical norms of economic and social activity.
We continue to work with our customers to originate and renew business loans as well as originate loans made available through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a lending program established as part of the relief to American consumers and businesses in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). Several subsequent congressional acts have reopened and extended the PPP loan program. During the 2021 first quarter, we have processed over 17,000 applications totaling approximately $1.8 billion under the reopened PPP.
Pending acquisition of TCF Financial Corporation
In late March 2021, Huntington and TCF shareholders approved the proposed merger of TCF with and into Huntington. The integration planning continues to proceed as expected. We expect that the transaction will be completed late in the second quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement.
Economy
Our first quarter results reflected a very strong beginning to what will be an important year for Huntington. The economic recovery continues to gain its footing, and we are seeing encouraging signs across our footprint and our individual businesses. Our lending pipelines are up across the board, and customer sentiment is improving —

supporting our confidence in more robust loan demand later in the year. Additionally, we continue to see strong core deposit inflows and expect this elevated level of liquidity will remain for some time.

2021 First Quarter versus 2020 First Quarter
FTE net interest income for the 2021 first quarter increased $182 million, or 23%, from the 2020 first quarter. This increase reflected a $12.3 billion, or 12%, increase in average earning assets, and a 34 basis point increase in the FTE net interest margin to 3.48%. Net interest income in the 2021 first quarter included a $144 million net mark-to-market of interest rate caps, which favorably impacted the NIM by approximately 51 basis points (and long-term debt costs by approximately 741 basis points), and $45 million of deferred PPP loan fees recognized upon receipt of forgiveness payments from the SBA, which favorably impacted the NIM by approximately 16 basis points. The year-over-year decrease in earning asset yields and average liability costs also reflected the impact of lower interest rates and changes in balance sheet mix, including elevated deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Average earning assets for the 2021 first quarter increased $12.3 billion, or 12%, from the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting a $5.4 billion, or 792%, increase in interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank, a $4.6 billion, or 6%, increase in average total loans and leases, and a $1.8 billion, or 7%, increase in average securities. Average C&I loans increased $3.5 billion, or 11%, primarily reflecting the $5.8 billion of average PPP loans partially offset by lower C&I and dealer floorplan utilization rates. Average residential mortgage loans increased $0.7 billion, or 6%, reflecting continued robust portfolio mortgage production. Average RV and marine loans increased $0.6 billion, or 17%, reflecting strong consumer demand and continued strong production levels.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities for the 2021 first quarter increased $2.0 billion, or 3%, from the year-ago quarter. Average total deposits increased $16.6 billion, or 20%, while average total core deposits increased $16.3 billion, or 20%. The increase in average total core deposits was primarily driven by increased liquidity levels in reaction to the economic downturn, business and commercial growth related to the PPP loans, consumer growth largely related to government stimulus, increased consumer and business banking account production, and reduced attrition. Specifically within core deposits, average total demand deposits increased $14.7 billion, or 36%, average savings and other domestic deposits increased $2.6 billion, or 27%, and average money market deposits increased $1.6 billion, or 6%. Partially offsetting these increases, average core CDs decreased $2.6 billion, or 65%, reflecting the maturity of balances related to the 2018 consumer deposit growth initiatives. Average total debt decreased $5.5 billion, or 41%, reflecting the repayment of short-term borrowings, the maturity and issuance of $3.2 billion and $1.3 billion of long-term debt, respectively, over the past five quarters, and the purchase of $0.5 billion of long-term debt under the tender offer completed in November 2020, all due to the strong core deposit growth.
2021 First Quarter versus 2020 Fourth Quarter
Compared to the 2020 fourth quarter, FTE net interest income increased $148 million, or 18%, reflecting a $1.9 billion, or 2% increase in average earning assets and 54 basis points of NIM expansion. Both the net interest income increase and the NIM expansion primarily reflected the net impacts of the mark-to-market of interest rate caps and the deferred PPP loan fees recognized upon receipt of forgiveness payments from the SBA. The mark-to-market of interest rate caps was $144 million in the 2021 first quarter compared to $5 million in the 2020 fourth quarter. The accelerated recognition of deferred PPP loan fees were $45 million in the 2021 first quarter compared to $5 million in the 2020 fourth quarter.
Average earning assets increased $1.9 billion, or 2%, primarily reflecting a $2.1 billion, or 9%, increase in average securities, partially offset by a $0.9 billion, or 1%, decrease in average loans and leases. The increase in average securities reflected the purchase of securities to deploy excess liquidity. Average C&I loans decreased $0.5 billion, or 1%, primarily reflecting the $0.4 billion decrease in average PPP loans.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities increased $0.7 billion, or 1%, when compared to the 2020 fourth quarter. Average total deposits increased $2.7 billion, or 3%, and average total core deposits increased $3.5 billion, or 4%. The increase in average total core deposits was primarily driven by consumer growth largely related to government stimulus, increased liquidity levels among our commercial customers, seasonality in government banking, and improved consumer and business banking account retention. Specifically, within core deposits, average total demand deposits increased $2.7 billion, or 5%. Average total debt decreased $1.1 billion, or 12%, primarily reflecting the maturity of $1.1 billion of long-term debt, the purchase of $0.5 billion of long-term debt under the tender offer completed in November 2020, and the repayment of short-term borrowings, all due to the strong core deposit growth.

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 expected over the life of the loan and lease portfolio and the portfolio of unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.
The provision for credit losses for the 2021 first quarter was $(60) million, a decrease of $501 million, or 114%, compared to the 2020 first quarter. The reduction in provision expense over the prior year was primarily attributed to the improvement in the forecasted macroeconomic environment resulting from anticipated lower unemployment and higher GDP.

technology investments. Marketing expense increased $5 million, or 56%, reflecting a return to pre-pandemic levels and additional investment in strategic marketing initiatives including new Fair Play product launches.
2021 First Quarter versus 2020 Fourth Quarter
Total noninterest expense increased $37 million, or 5%, from the 2020 fourth quarter. Personnel costs increased $42 million, or 10%, primarily reflecting increased incentives and commissions, a timing change implemented in the 2021 first quarter with respect to moving forward the annual grant of equity compensation from May to March, and higher benefits costs.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in the 2021 first quarter was $102 million, compared with provision for income taxes of $10 million in the 2020 first quarter and $59 million in the 2020 fourth quarter. All periods included the benefits from tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments, general business credits, investments in qualified affordable housing projects, and capital losses. The effective tax rates for the 2021 first quarter, 2020 first quarter, and 2020 fourth quarter were 16.1%, 17.0%, and 15.8%, respectively. The variance between the 2021 first quarter compared to the 2020 first quarter, and 2020 fourth quarter provision for income taxes and effective tax rates relates primarily to higher pre-tax income and the impact of stock-based compensation. The net federal deferred tax liability was $149 million and the net state deferred tax asset was $24 million at March 31, 2021.
We file income tax returns with the IRS and various state and city jurisdictions. Federal income tax audits have been completed for tax years through 2009. The 2010 and 2011 tax years remain under exam by the IRS. While the statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2012 through 2019, the IRS has advised that tax years 2012 through 2014 will not be audited and is currently examining the 2015 and 2016 federal income tax returns. Also, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for tax years before 2016.
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, and 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. More information on risk can be found in the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our 2020 Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC. The MD&A included in our 2020 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 2020 Form 10-K.
2021 1Q Form 10-Q 15

Table of Contents
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 investment securities portfolios (see Note 3 “Investment Securities and Other Securities” 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. A variety of derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, caps, floors, and collars, are used in asset and liability management activities to protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements. We also use derivatives, principally loan sale commitments, in hedging our mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments and its mortgage loans held for sale. While there is credit risk associated with derivative activity, we believe this exposure is minimal.
We focus on the early identification, monitoring, and management of all aspects 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 ongoing expansion of portfolio management resources is central to our commitment to maintaining an aggregate moderate-to-low risk profile. In our efforts to identify risk mitigation techniques, we have focused on product design features, origination policies, and solutions for delinquent or stressed borrowers.
Over the course of 2020 and into 2021, we have assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our loan portfolio, as we would with any natural disaster or significant economic decline. The longer term impact of our response is dependent upon a number of variables, including the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economic recovery. Continued weakness in the labor market could lead to increased delinquencies and defaults in our consumer portfolio. Additionally, increased economic deterioration could lead to elevated default rates in our Commercial portfolio, especially for industries highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The payment deferral program that Huntington initiated for its customers in March 2020 has largely ended, with less than 1% of the total deferrals remaining in place as of March 31, 2021. The remaining deferrals in the Consumer portfolio are in the Residential secured portfolio, consistent with the longer term payment deferral time frames available on those loans. For the few commercial borrowers requiring additional financial help, the expired deferrals were replaced with modified terms and conditions as we continue to work closely with our customers. The post deferral payment activity has been positive across both the Commercial and Consumer portfolios to date.

Our loan portfolio is a managed mix of consumer and commercial credits. At the corporate level, we manage the overall credit exposure and portfolio composition 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, large dollar exposures, and designated high risk loan categories 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 of Directors and is 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, incorporating specific information relating to the potential impact on the overall portfolio composition and performance metrics, require the approval of the ROC prior to implementation.

Credit Quality
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 4 “Loans / Leases” and Note 5 “Allowance for Credit Losses” 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 specific performance ratios. This approach forms the basis of the discussion in the sections immediately following: NPAs, NALs, TDRs, ACL, and NCOs. In addition, we utilize delinquency rates, risk distribution and migration patterns, product segmentation, and origination trends in the analysis of our credit quality performance.

Table of Contents
Credit quality performance in the 2021 first quarter reflected total NCOs as a percent of average loans, annualized, of 0.32%, an decrease from 0.55% in the prior quarter. Total NCOs were $64 million, a decrease of $48 million from the prior quarter, driven by a $41 million decrease in Commercial NCOs, and a $7 million decrease in Consumer NCOs. NPAs decreased from the prior quarter by $19 million or 3% driven by reductions in the commercial portfolio.

NPAs and NALs
Commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90-days past due, or earlier if repayment of principal and interest is in doubt. Of the $351 million of commercial related NALs at March 31, 2021, $241 million, or 69%, represented loans that were less than 30-days past due, demonstrating our continued commitment to proactive credit risk management.
The following table reflects period-end NALs and NPAs detail for each of the last five quarters:

TDR Loans
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 4 “Loans / Leases” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and TDR Loans section of our 2020 Form 10-K.)
Over the past five quarters, the accruing component of the total TDR balance has been consistently over 75%, indicating there is no identified credit loss and the borrowers continue to make their monthly payments. As of March 31, 2021, over 81% of the $428 million of accruing TDRs secured by residential real estate (residential mortgage and home equity in Table 9) are current on their required payments, with over 55% of the accruing pool

having had no delinquency in the past 12 months. There is limited migration from the accruing to nonaccruing components, and virtually all of the charge-offs come from the nonaccruing TDR balances.

Overall TDRs decreased in the quarter, primarily related to a decline in the C&I portfolio. Huntington continues to proactively work with our borrowing relationships that require assistance. The resulting loan structures enable our borrowers to meet their commitments and Huntington to retain earning assets. The accruing 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 5 “Allowance for Credit Losses” 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 lifetime expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio: the ALLL and the AULC. Combined, these reserves comprise the total ACL.
The models used within our loan and lease portfolio incorporate historical loss experience, as well as current and future economic conditions over a reasonable and supportable period beyond the balance sheet date. We make various judgments combined with historical loss experience to generate a loss rate that is applied to the outstanding loan or receivable balance to produce a reserve for expected credit losses.
We use a combination of statistically-based models that utilize assumptions about current and future economic conditions throughout the contractual life of the loan. The process of estimating expected credit losses is based on several key parameters: Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and Loss Given Default (LGD). Beyond the reasonable and supportable period (two to three years), the economic variables revert to a historical equilibrium at a pace dependent on the state of the economy reflected within the economic scenario.
These three parameters, PD, EAD, and LGD are utilized to estimate the cumulative credit losses over the remaining expected life of the loan. We also consider the likelihood a previously charged-off account will be recovered. This calculation is dependent on how long ago the account was charged-off and future economic conditions, which estimate the likelihood and magnitude of recovery. Our models are developed using internal historical loss experience covering the full economic cycle and consider the impact of account characteristics on expected losses.
20 Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

Table of Contents
Future economic conditions consider multiple macroeconomic scenarios provided to us by an independent third party and are reviewed through the appropriate committee governance channels discussed below. These macroeconomic scenarios contain certain geography based variables that are influential to our modeling process, the most significant being unemployment rates and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The probability weights assigned to each scenario are generally expected to be consistent from period to period. Any changes in probability weights must be supported by appropriate documentation and approval of senior management. Additionally, we consider whether to adjust the modeled estimates to address possible limitations within the models or factors not captured within the macroeconomic scenarios. Lifetime losses for most of our loans and receivables are evaluated collectively based on similar risk characteristics, risk ratings, origination credit bureau scores, delinquency status, and remaining months within loan agreements, among other factors.
The macroeconomic scenarios evaluated by Huntington during the 2021 first quarter continued to reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The baseline scenario used for the quarter assumes that the worst of the economic disruption from the pandemic has passed, with the expectation that subsequent waves of the virus will not carry the same level of economic disruption experienced to date. The unemployment variable is incorporated within our models as both a rate of change variable and an absolute level variable. Historically, changes in unemployment have taken gradual paths resulting in more measured impacts each quarter.
The table below is intended to show how the forecasted path of these key macroeconomic variables has changed since the end of 2020:

The uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic prompted management to continue to assess the macroeconomic environment through the end of the quarter. Management considered multiple macroeconomic forecasts that reflected a range of possible outcomes in order to capture the severity of and the economic disruption associated with the pandemic. While we have incorporated our estimated impact of COVID-19 into our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), the ultimate impact of COVID-19 is still uncertain, including how long economic activities will be impacted and what effect the unprecedented levels of government fiscal and monetary actions will have on the economy and our credit losses.
Given significant COVID-19 specific government relief programs and additional stimulus spending enacted into law during the first quarter, as well as certain limitations of our models in the current economic environment particularly the level of unemployment, management developed additional analytics to support adjustments to our modeled results. The Bank’s governance committees reviewed model results of each economic scenario for appropriate usage, concluding that the quantitative transactional reserve (collectively assessed) will continue to utilize the scenario weighting approach established in prior quarters. Given the impact of the unemployment variable utilized within the models and the uncertainty associated with key economic scenario assumptions, the March 31, 2021 ACL included a material general reserve component as well as additional industry specific risk profiles to capture economic uncertainty not addressed within the quantitative transaction reserve.
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 lifetime expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio at the reported date. The loss modeling process uses an EAD concept to calculate total expected losses on both funded balances and unfunded commitments, where appropriate.
2021 1Q Form 10-Q 21

Table of Contents
Losses related to the unfunded commitments are then recorded as AULC within other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. A liability for expected credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures is recognized if Huntington has a present contractual obligation to extend the credit and the obligation is not unconditionally cancelable.
The table below reflects the allocation of our ALLL among our various loan categories during each of the past five quarters:

Market Risk
(This section should be read in conjunction with the “Market Risk” section of our 2020 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 subsidiaries, foreign exchange positions, equity

investments, and investments in securities backed by mortgage loans.
Huntington measures market risk exposure via financial simulation models, which provide management with insights on the potential impact to net interest income and other key metrics as a result of changes in market interest rates. Models are used to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of the balance sheet based on assumptions regarding the slope or shape of the yield curve, the direction and volatility of interest rates, and the changing composition and characteristics of the balance sheet resulting from strategic objectives and customer behavior. Assumptions and models provide insight on forecasted balance sheet growth and composition, and the pricing and maturity characteristics of current and future business.
In measuring the financial risks associated with interest rate sensitivity in Huntington’s balance sheet, Huntington compares a set of alternative interest rate scenarios to the results of a base case scenario derived using market forward rates. The market forward reflects the market consensus regarding the future level and slope of the yield curve across a range of tenor points. The standard set of interest rate scenarios includes two types: “shock” scenarios which are instantaneous parallel rate shifts, and “ramp” scenarios where the parallel shift is applied gradually over the first 12 months of the forecast on a pro rata basis. In both shock and ramp scenarios with falling rates, Huntington presumes that market rates cannot go below 0%. The forecasted scenarios are inclusive of realized income of interest rate risk hedging activities. Forward starting hedges are included to the extent that they have been transacted and that they start within the measurement horizon.

The NII at Risk results included in the table above reflect the analysis used monthly by management. It models gradual (“ramp” as defined above) +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates, implied by the forward yield curve over the next twelve months as well as an instantaneous parallel shock of -25 basis points.
Our NII at Risk is within our Board of Directors’ policy limits for the -25, +100 and +200 basis point scenarios. The NII at Risk shows that our balance sheet is asset sensitive at both March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. The change in sensitivity is primarily driven by changes in market rate expectations, and the size and mix of the balance sheet.

We are within our Board of Directors’ policy limits for the -25, +100 and +200 basis point scenarios. As of March 31st, EVE depicts a liability sensitive (long duration) balance sheet profile. The change in sensitivity from December 31st 2020’s asset sensitive (short duration) position was driven primarily by changes in the spot market rate curve impacting forecasted runoff expectations, and the size and shape of the balance sheet.

Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate Risk
An integral component of our interest rate risk management strategy is use of derivative instruments to minimize significant fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in market interest rates. Examples of derivative instruments that we may use as part of our interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps, caps and floors, forward contracts, and forward starting interest rate swaps.
Table 16 shows all swap, floor and cap positions that are utilized for purposes of managing our exposures to the variability of interest rates. The interest rates variability may impact either the fair value of the assets and liabilities or impact the cash flows attributable to net interest margin. These positions are used to protect the fair value of asset and liabilities by converting the contractual interest rate on a specified amount of assets and liabilities (i.e., notional amounts) to another interest rate index. The positions are also used to hedge the variability in cash flows attributable to the contractually specified interest rate by converting the variable rate index into a fixed rate. The volume, maturity and mix of derivative positions change frequently as we adjust our broader interest rate risk management objectives and the balance sheet positions to be hedged. For further information, including the notional amount and fair values of these derivatives, refer to Note 12 “Derivative Financial Instruments” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we purchased (long) $5.0 billion notional of interest rate caps with an average strike price of 98 basis points to reduce the impact on capital from rising rates and designated them as economic hedges of interest rate risk attributable to our long-term debt. Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2021, we entered into an incremental $3.0 billion notional of written (short) interest rates caps with an average strike price of 297 basis points and created a collar-like position for hedging our interest rate risk.
Net interest income in the current quarter included a $144 million mark-to-market of interest rate caps (including caps written in the first quarter of 2021). The mark-to-market is not included in the NII at Risk calculations above. As these positions are marked-to-market through net interest income each quarter, we expect impact in our reported net interest margin. However, the partial collar-like position that was created by selling the interest caps is expected to dampen those impacts.

MSRs
(This section should be read in conjunction with Note 6 “Mortgage Loan Sales and Servicing Rights” of Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
At March 31, 2021, we had a total of $274 million of capitalized MSRs representing the right to service $24 billion in mortgage loans.
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 also employ 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.
MSR assets are included in servicing rights and other intangible assets 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 subsidiaries, foreign exchange positions, derivative instruments, 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 2020 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 97% of total deposits at March 31, 2021. We also have available unused wholesale sources of liquidity, including advances from the FHLB, 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 $13.4 billion as of March 31, 2021.
Bank Liquidity and Sources of Funding
Our primary sources of funding for the Bank are retail and commercial core deposits. At March 31, 2021, these core deposits funded 79% of total assets (124% 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 $16 million and $14 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 and securities pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window and the FHLB are $48.2 billion and $53.4 billion at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
At March 31, 2021, the market value of investment securities pledged to secure public and trust deposits, trading account liabilities, U.S. Treasury demand notes, and security repurchase agreements totaled $4.8 billion. There were no securities of a single issuer, which are not governmental or government-sponsored, that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2021.
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, 2021, total wholesale funding was $10.2 billion, a decrease from $12.8 billion at December 31, 2020. The decrease from year-end is due to a decrease in brokered deposits and negotiable CD and long-term debt.
At March 31, 2021, we believe the Bank 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 securities.
During the 2021 first quarter, Huntington issued $500 million of Series H Preferred Stock. See Note 8 “Shareholders’ Equity” and Note 14 of our 2020 Form 10-K for further information.
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the parent company had $4.1 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.
On April 21, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.15 per common share. The dividend is payable on July 1, 2021, to shareholders of record on June 17, 2021. Based on the
28 Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

Table of Contents
current quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share, cash demands required for common stock dividends are estimated to be approximately $153 million per quarter. On April 21, 2021, the Board of Directors also declared a quarterly Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G and Series H Preferred Stock dividend payable on July 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2021. Total cash demands required for Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G and Series H are expected to be approximately $37 million per quarter.
During the first three months of 2021, the Bank paid preferred and common dividends of $11 million and $0.3 billion, respectively. 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, floors and caps, 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, third-party performance failures, 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, failed business contingency plans and security risks. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with significant contracts, agreements, laws, rules, and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operational risk.
We actively monitor cyberattacks 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. Cybersecurity threats have increased, primarily through COVID-19 themed phishing campaigns.  We are actively monitoring our email gateways for malicious phishing email campaigns.  We have also increased our cybersecurity and fraud monitoring activities through the implementation of specific monitoring of remote connections by geography and volume of connections to detect anomalous remote logins, since a significant portion of our workforce is now working remotely. 
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, a Funds Movement 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 remediation recommendations to the Risk Management Committee. Potential concerns may be escalated to our ROC and the Audit Committee, as appropriate. Significant findings or issues are escalated by the Third Party Risk Management Committee to the Technology Committee of the
2021 1Q Form 10-Q 29

Table of Contents
Board, as appropriate. A separate Board Committee on Conversions and Integration is in place to monitor the activities, risks and progress of the TCF merger.
The goal of this framework is to implement effective operational risk monitoring 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. 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.
The following table presents certain regulatory capital data at both the consolidated and Bank levels for each of the periods presented:

(1)    Capital ratios reflect Huntington's election of a five-year transition to delay for two years the full impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period.
At March 31, 2021, we maintained Basel III capital ratios in excess of the well-capitalized standards established by the FRB. The increase in capital ratios was driven by earnings, adjusted for the CECL transition, offset by the repurchase of $5 million of common stock over the last four quarters (all during 2020 fourth quarter) and cash

dividends. The balance sheet growth impact on regulatory capital ratios was largely offset by a change in asset mix during 2020 related to PPP loans and elevated deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank (both of which are 0% risk weighted). The year-over-year change in regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios also reflect the issuance of $500 million of Series F preferred stock, $500 million of Series G preferred stock and $500 million of Series H preferred stock in the 2020 second quarter, 2020 third quarter and 2021 first quarter, respectively.
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 $13.6 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $0.6 billion or 5% when compared with December 31, 2020.
On February 2, 2021, Huntington issued $500 million of preferred stock. Huntington issued 20,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 4.50% Series H Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Preferred H Stock), par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share).
On June 25, 2020, we were notified by the FRB that that certain large BHCs, including Huntington, were required to update and resubmit their capital plans because changes in financial markets and the macroeconomic outlook that could have a material impact on the BHC’s risk profile and financial condition required the use of updated scenarios. On December 18, 2020, we were notified by the FRB that under both of the severely adverse and the alternative severely adverse economic stress scenarios in the supervisory stress tests, our modeled capital ratios would continue to exceed the minimum requirements under the FRB's capital adequacy rules. In addition, the FRB also announced that certain large BHCs, including Huntington, will be permitted to make both dividend and share repurchases during the first quarter of 2021, subject to limits based on the amount of dividends paid in the second quarter of 2020 and the Bank's average net income for the four preceding quarters and that the FRB was extending through March 31, 2021, the time period for the FRB to notify certain large BHCs, including Huntington, whether the FRB will recalculate a large BHC’s stress capital buffer.
On March 25, 2021, we were notified by the FRB that certain large BHCs, including Huntington, would continue to be permitted to make both dividend and share repurchases during the second quarter of 2021, subject to limits based on the amount of dividends paid in the second quarter of 2020 and the Bank's average net income for the four preceding quarters. Our second quarter dividend that was declared by the Board of Directors on April 22, 2021 complies with these limits. In addition, the FRB announced that it was extending, through June 30, 2021, the time period for the FRB to notify certain large BHCs including Huntington, whether the FRB will recalculate a large BHCs stress capital buffer.
While the FRB reserves the authority to revoke or amend the amount of the distributions, or to further extend the restrictions on second quarter capital distributions to future quarters, the FRB announced, on March 25, 2021, that for a bank, such as Huntington, that is not subject to the supervisory stress test in 2021 and on a two-year supervisory stress testing cycle, the restrictions on capital distributions will end after June 30, 2021 and the Bank’s SCB requirements based on the June 2020 stress test will remain in place.
Dividends
We consider disciplined capital management as a key objective, with dividends representing one component. Our strong capital ratios position us to take advantage of 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
2021 1Q Form 10-Q 31

Table of Contents
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.

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, if any, and a small amount of other residual unallocated expenses, are allocated to the four business segments.
Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP)
We use 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).

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, although our overall effective tax rate is lower.

2021 First Three Months versus 2020 First Three Months
Consumer and Business Banking, including Home Lending, reported net income of $111 million in the first three-month period of 2021, an increase of $51 million, or 85%, compared to the year-ago period. Segment net interest income decreased $27 million, or 7%, due to decreased spread on deposits and decreased loan margin, partially offset by PPP revenues. The provision for credit losses decreased $118 million, or 144%, primarily due to changes in the forecasted economic outlook compared to the year-ago period. Noninterest income increased $24 million, or 11%, primarily due to increased mortgage banking income, and increased debit and ATM interchange from higher

transaction volumes, partially offset by lower service charge income reflecting reduced customer overdrafts. Noninterest expense increased $51 million, or 12%, mostly due to increased personnel and incentives as a result of higher levels of production and origination volume.
Home Lending, an operating unit of Consumer and Business Banking, reflects the result of the origination, sale, 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 net income of $24 million in the first three-month period of 2021, compared with net income of $11 million in the year-ago period. Noninterest income increased $32 million, driven primarily by an increase in salable mortgage originations and higher secondary marketing spreads. Noninterest expense increased $21 million due to higher personnel expense as a result of higher origination volumes.

Commercial Banking reported net income of $118 million in the first three-month period of 2021, compared to a net loss of $86 million in the year-ago period. The provision for credit losses decreased $293 million, or 98%, primarily due to changes in the forecasted economic outlook compared to the year-ago period. Segment net interest income decreased $33 million, or 14%, due to a 37 basis point decrease in net interest margin driven by a sharp decline in the benefit of deposits. Noninterest income increased $2 million, or 2%, largely driven by an increase in treasury management related revenue reflecting the impact of lower earnings credit rates on commercial deposits, partially offset by a decline in capital markets driven by decline in interest rate derivative income. Noninterest expense increased $4 million, or 3%, primarily due to personnel expense reflecting an increase in incentives, partially offset by a reduction in business development expense primarily reflecting reduced travel stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021 First Three Months versus 2020 First Three Months
Vehicle Finance reported net income of $76 million in the first three-month period of 2021, an increase of $65 million, or 591%, compared to the year-ago period. The provision for credit losses decreased $82 million due to changes in the forecasted economic outlook as compared to the year ago period. Segment net interest income increased $1 million, or 1%, due to a 12 basis point increase in the net interest margin partially offset by a 3% decrease in average loan balances. The decrease in average loan balances of $0.6 billion is driven by average commercial balances as dealership inventory levels and the resulting floor plan line utilization remain low. Additionally, RV / Marine balances increased $0.6 billion year over year, reflecting strong production levels over the past year, partially offset by a decline of $0.3 billion of auto balances. Noninterest income and expense were both comparable to year ago levels.

2021 First Three Months versus 2020 First Three Months
RBHPCG reported net income of $25 million for the first three-month period of 2021, an increase of $1 million, or 4%, compared to the year-ago period. Segment net interest income decreased $9 million, or 21%, due to a 77 basis point decrease in net interest margin, reflecting both lower deposit and loan spreads. Average loans increased $0.2 billion, or 2%, primarily due to residential real estate mortgage loans, and average deposits increased $1.0 billion, or 16%, primarily related to PPP, stimulus, and higher customer liquidity levels. Noninterest income increased $3 million, or 6%, due to a 31% increase in assets under management reflecting record net asset flows and positive equity markets. In addition, the title insurance business reported record fee income. Noninterest expenses were flat to prior year reflecting lower discretionary expense and continued cost controls.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding our 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 Management 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 Management 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 Management 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.
Management believes the disclosure of Significant Items, when appropriate, aids analysts/investors in better understanding corporate performance and trends so that they can ascertain which of such items, if any, they may wish to include/exclude from their analysis of the company’s performance - i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from their expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust their estimates of future performance accordingly. To this end, Management has adopted a practice of listing “Significant Items” in its external disclosure documents (e.g., earnings press releases, quarterly performance discussions, 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. We encourage readers to consider the Unaudited Condensed 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,
•Tangible 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 our 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.
2021 1Q Form 10-Q 37

Table of Contents
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, we encourage readers to consider the Unaudited Condensed 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.
Risk Factors
More information on risk can be found in Item 1A Risk Factors below and in the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our 2020 Form 10-K. Additional information regarding risk factors can also be found in the Risk Management and Capital discussion of this report.
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, 2020 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 policies and estimates and their related application are discussed in our December 31, 2020 Form 10-K.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Our ACL at March 31, 2021 represents our current estimate of the lifetime credit losses expected from our loan and lease portfolio and our unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses by projecting probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default conditional on economic parameters, for the remaining contractual term. Internal factors that impact the quarterly allowance estimate include the level of outstanding balances, the portfolio performance and assigned risk ratings.
One of the most significant judgments influencing the allowance for credit losses estimate is the macro-economic forecasts. Key external economic parameters that directly impact our loss modeling framework include forecasted footprint unemployment rates and Gross Domestic Product. Changes in the economic forecasts could significantly affect the estimated credit losses, which could potentially lead to materially different allowance levels from one reporting period to the next.
Given the dynamic relationship between macro-economic variables within our modeling framework, it is difficult to estimate the impact of a change in any one individual variable on the allowance. As a result, management uses a probability-weighted approach that incorporates a baseline, an adverse and a more favorable economic scenario when formulating the quantitative estimate.
However, to illustrate a hypothetical sensitivity analysis, management calculated a quantitative allowance using a 100% weighting applied to an adverse scenario. This scenario includes assumptions around new infections and COVID-19 deaths being significantly above the baseline projections, leading to a much slower re-opening of the economy. Under this scenario, as an example, the unemployment rate remains elevated for a prolonged period and is estimated to remain at 8.0% and 6.5% at the end of 2022 and 2023, respectively. These numbers represent approximately 3.5% higher unemployment estimates than baseline scenario projections of 4.5% and 4.2%, respectively for the same time periods.
To demonstrate the sensitivity to key economic parameters, management calculated the difference between a 100% baseline weighting and a 100% adverse scenario weighting for modeled results. This would result in an incremental quantitative allowance impact of approximately $600 million.
38 Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

Table of Contents
The resulting difference is not intended to represent an expected increase in allowance levels for a number of reasons including the following:
•Management uses a weighted approach applied to multiple economic scenarios for its allowance estimation process;
•The highly uncertain economic environment;
•The difficulty in predicting the inter-relationships between the economic parameters used in the various economic scenarios; and
•The sensitivity estimate does not account for any general reserve components and associated risk profile adjustments incorporated by management as part of its overall allowance framework.
We regularly review our ACL for appropriateness by performing on-going evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio. In doing so, we consider factors such as the differing economic risks associated with each loan category, the financial condition of specific borrowers, the level of delinquent loans, the value of any collateral and, where applicable, the existence of any guarantees or other documented support. We also evaluate the impact of changes in key economic parameters and overall economic conditions on the ability of borrowers to meet their financial obligations when quantifying our exposure to credit losses and assessing the appropriateness of our ACL at each reporting date. There is no certainty that our ACL will be appropriate over time to cover losses in our portfolio as economic and market conditions may ultimately differ from our reasonable and supportable forecast. Additionally, events adversely affecting specific customers, industries, or our markets such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, could severely impact our current expectations. If the credit quality of our customer base materially deteriorates or the risk profile of a market, industry, or group of customers changes materially, our net income and capital could be materially adversely affected which, in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the current COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact our businesses, financial condition, liquidity and results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be forecasted with precision at this time. For more information, see Note 4 “Loans and Leases” and Note 5 “Allowance for Credit Losses” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurement
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including securities, and derivative instruments. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value inherently include subjectivity and may require the use of significant assumptions, adjustments and judgment including, among others, discount rates, rates of return on assets, cash flows, default rates, loss rates, terminal values and liquidation values. A significant change in assumptions may result in a significant change in fair value, which in turn, may result in a higher degree of financial statement volatility and could result in significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or disclosures of fair value information.
The fair value hierarchy requires use of observable inputs first and subsequently unobservable inputs when observable inputs are not available. Our fair value measurements involve various valuation techniques and models, which involve inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2 in fair value hierarchy), when available. The level of judgment required to determine fair value is dependent on the methods or techniques used in the process. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) do not require significant judgment while the valuation of assets and liabilities when quoted market prices are not available (Levels 2 and 3) may require significant judgment to assess whether observable or unobservable inputs for those assets and liabilities provide reasonable determination of fair value. 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 11 “Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The acquisition method of accounting requires that acquired assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. This often involves estimates based on third party valuations or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques, all of which are inherently subjective. Acquisitions typically result in goodwill, the amount by which the cost of net assets acquired in a business combination exceeds their fair value, which is subject to impairment testing at least annually. The
2021 1Q Form 10-Q 39

Table of Contents
amortization of identified intangible assets recognized in a business combination is based upon the estimated economic benefits to be received over their economic life, which is also subjective. Customer attrition rates that are based on historical experience are used to determine the estimated economic life of certain intangibles assets, including but not limited to, customer deposit intangibles.

Credit Quality Indicators
See Note 5 “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, 2020 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 commercial 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 resulting from 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.
Loans are generally assigned a category of “Pass” rating upon initial approval and subsequently updated as appropriate based on the borrower’s financial performance.
Commercial loans categorized as OLEM, Substandard, or Doubtful are considered Criticized loans. Commercial loans categorized as Substandard or Doubtful are both considered Classified loans.
For all classes within the consumer loan portfolios, loans are assigned pool level PD factors based on the FICO range within which the borrower’s credit bureau score falls. A credit bureau score is a credit score developed by FICO based on data provided by the credit bureaus. The credit bureau score is widely accepted as the standard measure of consumer credit risk used by lenders, regulators, rating agencies, and consumers. The higher the credit bureau score, the higher likelihood of repayment and therefore, an indicator of higher credit quality.
Huntington assesses the risk in the loan portfolio by utilizing numerous risk characteristics. The classifications described above, and also presented in the table below, represent one of those characteristics that are closely monitored in the overall credit risk management processes.

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 would not otherwise be considered. However, not all loan modifications are TDRs. See Note 5 “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, 2020 for an additional discussion of TDRs.
The following table presents, by class and modification type, the number of contracts, post-modification outstanding balance, and the financial effects of the modification for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

(1)Relates to day one impact of the CECL adjustment as a result of the implementation of ASU 2016-13.
At March 31, 2021, the ACL was $1.7 billion, a decrease of $125 million from the December 31, 2020 balance of $1.9 billion. The decrease was primarily related to a reduction in credit reserves reflecting an improvement in the economic outlook. NCOs decreased $48 million, or 43%, in for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was driven by both commercial and consumer NCOs.
The suite of CECL models are generally dependent on the rate of change in unemployment rather than the absolute unemployment levels. Additionally, the economic scenarios used in the March 31, 2021 ACL determination contained significant judgmental assumptions around the ultimate number of COVID-19 cases and the economic impact of additional stimulus spending enacted into law during the first quarter. Given the impact of the unemployment variable utilized within the models and the uncertainty associated with key economic scenario assumptions, the March 31, 2021 ACL included a material general reserve component as well as additional industry specific risk profiles to capture economic uncertainty not addressed within the quantitative transaction reserve.

(1)Prior to January 1, 2020, substantially all of Huntington’s MSR assets were recorded at amortized cost.
(2)Represents decrease in value due to passage of time, including the impact from both regularly scheduled principal payments and partial loan paydowns.
(3)Represents decrease in value associated with loans that paid off during the period.
(4)Represents change in value resulting primarily from market-driven changes in interest rates.
MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Therefore, the fair value of MSRs is estimated using a discounted future cash flow model. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the valuation of MSRs. MSR values are highly sensitive to movement 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.
For MSRs under the fair value method, a summary of key assumptions and the sensitivity of the MSR value to changes in these assumptions at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 follows:

9. 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, and distributions from deferred compensation plans. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

10. 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 Unaudited Condensed 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 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, 2021 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, 2021 was determined to be immaterial.

The tables below present a rollforward of the balance sheet amounts for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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. The amounts presented represent the fair value on the various measurement dates throughout the period. The gains (losses) represent the amounts recorded during the period regardless of whether the asset is still held at period end.
The amounts measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2021 were as follows:

Collateral-dependent loans12 — — 12 (1)
Huntington records nonrecurring adjustments of collateral-dependent loans held for investment. 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. Periodically, in cases where the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, an impairment charge is recognized in the form of a charge-off.

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.
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.

(2)Excludes securities without readily determinable 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, interest-bearing deposits at Federal Reserve Bank, 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 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.
12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or a liability (in other assets or other liabilities, respectively) and measured at fair value.
Derivative financial instruments can be designated as accounting hedges under GAAP. Designating a derivative as an accounting hedge allows Huntington to recognize gains and losses on the hedging instruments in the income statement line item where the gains and losses on the hedged item are recognized. Gains and losses on derivatives that are not designated in an effective hedge relationship under GAAP immediately impact earnings within the period they occur.
The following table presents the fair values and notional values of all derivative instruments included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Amounts in the table below are presented gross without the impact of any net collateral arrangements.

Derivatives used in asset and liability management activities
Huntington engages in balance sheet hedging activity, principally for asset and liability management purposes. Balance sheet hedging activity is generally arranged to receive hedge accounting treatment that can be classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. Fair value hedges are executed to hedge changes in fair value of outstanding fixed-rate debt and investment securities caused by fluctuations in market interest rates. Cash flow hedges are

executed to modify interest rate characteristics of designated commercial loans in order to reduce the impact of changes in future cash flows due to market interest rate changes.
The following table presents the gross notional values of derivatives used in Huntington’s asset and liability management activities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, identified by the underlying interest rate-sensitive instruments.

These derivative financial instruments were entered into for the purpose of managing the interest rate risk of assets and liabilities. Net amounts receivable or payable on contracts hedging either interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities were accrued as an adjustment to either interest income or interest expense. Also, recorded as an adjustment to interest income were the amounts related to the amortization of floors and forward-starting floors that were excluded from the hedge effectiveness, changes in the fair value of economic hedges, as well as the amounts related to terminated hedges reclassified from AOCI. The net amounts resulted in an increase (decrease) to net interest income of $225 million and $16 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, 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.
Huntington has designated $2.8 billion of interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate investment securities using the last-of-layer method. This approach allows the Company to designate as the hedged item a stated amount of the assets that are not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults and other factors affecting the timing and amount of cash flows. The fair value basis adjustment on our hedged mortgage-backed securities is included in available-for-sale securities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As of March 31, 2021, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $5.3 billion, the cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was $1 million, and the amounts of the designated hedged items were $2.8 billion.
The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments remaining for any hedged assets and liabilities for which hedge accounting has been discontinued was $(50) million and $(62) million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges
At March 31, 2021, Huntington has $16.4 billion of interest rate floors, floor spreads and swaps. These are designated as cash flow hedges for variable rate commercial loans indexed to LIBOR. The change in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is initially recognized in OCI and is reclassified into income when the hedged item impacts earnings. The initial premium paid for the interest rate floor contracts represents the time value of the contracts and is not included in the measurement of hedge effectiveness. Any change in fair value related to time value is recognized in OCI. The initial premium paid is amortized on a straight line basis as a reduction to interest income over the contractual life of these contracts.
Gains and (losses) on interest rate floors, floor spreads, and swaps recognized in other comprehensive income were $(34) million and $308 million for the three-months periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Derivatives used in mortgage banking activities
Mortgage loan origination hedging activity
Huntington’s mortgage origination hedging activity is related to economically hedging Huntington’s 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. Forward commitments to sell economically hedge the possible loss on interest rate lock commitments due to interest rate change. The net asset position of these derivatives at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are $65 million and $26 million, respectively. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Huntington had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $2.9 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.

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, TBA securities, Treasury futures contracts, interest rate swaps, and options on interest rate swaps.
The notional value of the derivative financial instruments, the corresponding net asset (liability) position recognized in other assets and/or other liabilities, and net trading gains (losses) related to MSR hedging activity is summarized in the following table:

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 enters 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 or price 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 these transactions.
The net fair values of these derivative financial instruments, for which the gross amounts are included in other assets or other liabilities at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were $73 million and $70 million, respectively. The total notional values of derivative financial instruments used by Huntington on behalf of customers, including offsetting derivatives, were $46 billion and $37 billion at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Huntington’s credit risk from customer derivatives was $593 million and $882 million at the same dates, respectively.
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 11 “Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities”.
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 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 are low dollar volume. Huntington enters into master netting agreements with customer counterparties; however, collateral is generally not exchanged with customer counterparties.
In addition to the customer derivative credit exposure, aggregate credit risk associated with broker-dealer and bank derivative transactions, net of collateral that has been pledged by the counterparty, was $420 million and $175 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The credit risk associated with derivatives is calculated after considering master netting agreements.
At March 31, 2021, Huntington pledged $69 million of investment securities and cash collateral to counterparties, while other counterparties pledged $434 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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.

(5)Variable effective rate at March 31, 2021, based on three-month LIBOR +1.33%.
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 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 other assets. Investments that do not meet the requirements of the proportional amortization method are accounted for using the equity method. Investment losses related to these investments are included in noninterest income in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

14. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were as follows:
(dollar amounts in millions)March 31,

Commercial real estate
1,315 1,313 
Standby letters of credit
632 581 
Commercial letters of credit
12 21 
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.
78 Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

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 $6 million and $5 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 secure these instruments.
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 reasonably possible loss is $0 to $10 million at March 31, 2021 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, 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.
Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of Huntington. Further, management believes that amounts 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.
15. 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. For a description of our business segments, see Note 26 - Segment Reporting to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2021 1Q Form 10-Q 79

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.
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).
Listed in the table below is certain operating basis financial information reconciled to Huntington’s March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, reported results by business segment.

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 2020 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 SEC’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, 2021. Based upon such evaluation, Huntington’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, 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, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
