Comments from Chairman and CEO, Chris Gorman

“Our first quarter results marked a strong beginning to the year. Revenue was up 16% year-over-year while expenses were essentially flat. We achieved both absolute and fee-based positive operating leverage on a year-over-year basis. Sequentially, net interest income grew 4% and the net interest margin increased by 17 basis points to 2.58%. On an adjusted basis(a), pre-provision net revenue increased more than $90 million from the prior quarter. Credit quality remained strong, with credit migration trends improving for the fifth consecutive quarter.

Our strong financial results are a function of continued momentum with both clients and prospects. Client deposits were up 4% year-over-year while deposit betas continue to improve. Commercial loans grew $1.2 billion from year-end levels. We continued to demonstrate progress in each of our strategic, fee-based businesses – wealth management, commercial payments, and investment banking.

As we look to the future, we are confident in our ability to navigate the current environment from a position of strength. We ended the quarter with a strong capital position – a luxury that gives us both flexibility and resiliency. Our liquidity position is robust and our credit metrics continue to improve.

We enjoy strong earnings and business momentum and clearly defined net interest income tailwinds. I remain confident in our ability to perform well under a wide range of potential macroeconomic scenarios.”

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2025 and the net interest margin was 2.58%. Compared to the first quarter of 2024, net interest income increased by $219 million, and the net interest margin increased by 56 basis points. These increases primarily reflect the impact of lower deposit costs, reinvestment of proceeds from maturing low-yielding investment securities, fixed rate loans and swaps into higher yielding investments, the repositioning of the available-for-sale portfolio during the third and fourth quarters of 2024, and an improved funding mix as lower-cost deposits increased while wholesale borrowings declined. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on repricing earning assets and lower loan balances.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $44 million, and the net interest margin increased by 17 basis points. These increases were driven by a decline in funding costs, including interest-bearing deposit costs, impact from the second tranche of the available-for-sale portfolio repositioning, which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2024, and from the redeployment of low yielding investments into higher yielding investment securities. These benefits more than offset the impact from lower interest rates on repricing earning assets, and two fewer days in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Compared to the first quarter of 2024, noninterest income increased by $21 million. The increase was driven by a $20 million increase in commercial mortgage servicing fees reflecting higher active special servicing balances and overall growth of the servicing portfolio. We also continued to see momentum across investment banking, wealth management and commercial payments, which offset a $15 million decrease in operating lease income and other leasing gains.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, noninterest income increased by $864 million. The increase was driven primarily by a $915 million loss on the sale of securities as part of a strategic repositioning of the available-for-sale portfolio that impacted earnings in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was partly offset by a $46 million decrease in investment banking and debt placement fees.

Compared to the first quarter of 2024, noninterest expense decreased by $12 million. The decrease was driven by an $18 million decrease in other expense due to a FDIC special assessment charge in the first quarter of 2024, which more than offset increases in personnel and technology-related investments.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, noninterest expense decreased by $98 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a $54 million decline in personnel expense, primarily related to lower incentive compensation, as well as lower employee benefits expense. Additionally, business services and professional fees, marketing and other expenses declined primarily due to seasonality and some elevated expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Average loans were $104.4 billion for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $6.7 billion compared to the first quarter of 2024, generally reflective of tepid client loan demand. Average commercial loans declined by $4.1 billion and average consumer loans declined by $2.6 billion, reflective of broad-based declines across all loan categories.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, average loans decreased by $357 million. Average commercial loans increased $276 million, primarily driven by an increase in commercial and industrial loans, offset by continued paydown activity in commercial mortgage real estate. Average consumer loans declined by $633 million, reflective of the intentional run-off of low yielding loans.

Key’s provision for credit losses was $118 million, compared to $101 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $39 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase from the year-ago quarter is driven by higher net loan charge-offs. The increase from the prior quarter reflects a reserve build driven by uncertainty in the economic outlook, partly offset by a reserve release due to improved credit migration trends.

Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $110 million, or 0.43% of average total loans. These results compare to $81 million, or 0.29%, for the first quarter of 2024 and $114 million, or 0.43%, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Key’s allowance for credit losses was $1.7 billion, or 1.63% of total period-end loans at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.66% at March 31, 2024, and 1.63% at December 31, 2024.

At March 31, 2025, Key’s nonperforming loans totaled $686 million, which represented 0.65% of period-end portfolio loans. These results compare to 0.60% at March 31, 2024, and 0.73% at December 31, 2024. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2025, totaled $700 million, and represented 0.67% of period-end portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets. These results compare to 0.61% at March 31, 2024, and 0.74% at December 31, 2024.

Other includes other segments that consists of corporate treasury, our principal investing unit, and various exit portfolios as well as reconciling items which primarily represents the unallocated portion of nonearning assets of corporate support functions. Charges related to the funding of these assets are part of net interest income and are allocated to the business segments through noninterest expense. Corporate treasury includes realized gains and losses from transactions associated with Key’s investment securities portfolio. Reconciling items also includes intercompany eliminations and certain items that are not allocated to the business segments because they do not reflect their normal operations.

Commercial Bank Summary of Operations (1Q25 vs. 1Q24)

  • Key’s Commercial Bank recorded net income attributable to Key of $321 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $205 million for the year-ago quarter
  • Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $137 million, or 34.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2024
  • Average loan and lease balances decreased $3.6 billion, or 5.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a decline in commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans
  • Average deposit balances increased $1.1 billion compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by our focus on growing deposits across our commercial businesses
  • Provision for credit losses decreased $27 million compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a lower reserve build due to slowing asset quality migration, which was partly offset by the impact of uncertainty in the economic outlook and higher net loan charge-offs
  • Noninterest income increased $7 million compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by an increase in commercial mortgage servicing fees and service charges on deposit accounts
  • Noninterest expense increased $20 million compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by higher personnel expense

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Key’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this document, the financial supplement, or conference call slides related to this document, all of which can be found on Key’s website (www.key.com/ir).

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
From time to time Key may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. Key is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because Key is unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant for future results.

Annualized Data
Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts.

Taxable Equivalent
The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at the federal statutory rate. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt loans, and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to peers.

Earnings Per Share Equivalent
Certain income or expense items may be expressed on a per common share basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying trends in total consolidated earnings per share performance excluding the impact of such items. When the impact of certain income or expense items is disclosed separately, the after-tax amount is computed using the marginal tax rate, unless otherwise specified, with this then being the amount used to calculate the earnings per share equivalent.

The table entitled “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” starting on page 14 of this supplement presents the computations of certain financial measures related to “tangible common equity” and “cash efficiency.” The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons.

(c)

Represents period-end consolidated total loans and loans held for sale divided by period-end consolidated total deposits.

(d)

March 31, 2025, ratio is estimated. As of January 1, 2025, the CECL optional transition provision had been fully phased-in. Amounts prior to January 1, 2025, reflect Key’s election to adopt the CECL optional transition provision.

 

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Dollars in millions)

The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to “tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “cash efficiency ratio,” “adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue,” “noninterest expense adjusted for selected items,” “adjusted income (loss) available from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders,” and “diluted earnings per share – adjusted.”

The tangible common equity ratio and the return on average tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock.

The table also shows the computation for pre-provision net revenue and adjusted pre-provision net revenue, which are not formally defined by GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects of the provision for credit losses makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis. Further, management believes that adjusting pre-provision net revenue for significant or unusual items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

The cash efficiency ratio is a ratio of two non-GAAP performance measures. As such, there is no directly comparable GAAP performance measure. The cash efficiency ratio performance measure removes the impact of Key’s intangible asset amortization from the calculation. Management believes this ratio provides greater consistency and comparability between Key’s results and those of its peer banks. Additionally, this ratio is used by analysts and investors as they develop earnings forecasts and peer bank analysis.

Adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue is a non-GAAP measure in that it adjusts revenue for certain tax-exempt instruments and significant or unusual items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance. The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable instruments. Additionally, management believes adjusting for the selected items provide investors with useful information to gain a better understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods.

Noninterest expense adjusted for selected items is a non-GAAP measure in that it excludes significant or unusual items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance. Management believes this measure provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

Adjusted income (loss) available from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders (or “adjusted net income”) and diluted earnings per share – adjusted (or “adjusted earnings per share”) are non-GAAP in that these measures exclude significant or unusual items, net of tax, that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance . Management believes these measures provide investors with useful information to gain a better understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

Results are from continuing operations. Interest excludes the interest associated with the liabilities referred to in (f) below, calculated using a matched funds transfer pricing methodology.

(b)

Interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans has been adjusted to a taxable-equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024.   

(c)

For purposes of these computations, nonaccrual loans are included in average loan balances.

(d)

Commercial and industrial average balances include $213 million, $216 million, and $211 million of assets from commercial credit cards for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

(e)

Yield presented is calculated on the basis of amortized cost excluding fair value hedge basis adjustments. The average amortized cost for securities available for sale was $42.7 billion, $41.8 billion, and $42.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. Yield based on the fair value of securities available for sale was 3.99%, 3.73%, and 2.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

(f)

A portion of long-term debt and the related interest expense is allocated to discontinued liabilities as a result of applying Key’s matched funds transfer pricing methodology to discontinued operations.

In November 2023, the FDIC issued a final rule implementing a special assessment on insured depository institutions to recover the loss to the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund (DIF) associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the 2023 closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. KeyCorp recorded the initial loss estimate related to the special assessment during the fourth quarter of 2023. Amounts reflected for the three-months ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, represent adjustments from initial estimates based on quarterly invoices received from the FDIC.
