CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Northern Trust Corporation today reported second quarter net income per diluted common share of $1.10, compared to $0.75 in the second quarter of 2014 and $0.94 in the first quarter of 2015. Net income was $269.2 million, compared to $181.9 million in the prior-year quarter and $230.7 million in the prior quarter. Return on average common equity was 12.8%, compared to 9.2% in the prior-year quarter and 11.3% in the prior quarter.

The current quarter includes a pre-tax gain on the sale of 1.0 million Visa Inc. Class B common shares totaling $99.9 million ($62.1 million after tax, or $0.26 per diluted common share); voluntary cash contributions to certain constant dollar net-asset-value (NAV) funds of $45.8 million ($28.6 million after tax, or $0.12 per diluted common share); and the impairment of the residual value of certain aircraft under leveraged lease agreements of $17.8 million ($11.1 million after tax, or $0.05 per diluted common share). Excluding these items, net income per diluted common share, net income, and return on average common equity were $1.01, $246.7 million and 11.8%, respectively.

The prior-year quarter included pre-tax charges of $32.8 million for severance and related costs and for the realignment of the Corporation’s real estate portfolio and $9.5 million of software write-offs. Excluding these charges and write-offs, net income per diluted common share, net income, and return on average common equity were $0.87, $209.8 million, and 10.6%, respectively.

“Northern Trust continues to perform well. In the second quarter, net income and earnings per share improved both year over year and sequentially. Trust, investment and other servicing fees, the largest component of our revenues, increased 7% year over year due to new business and higher equity markets, while expense growth of 5% reflected continued investments in our business as well as ongoing support of technology initiatives and regulatory requirements.

We increased our quarterly cash dividend by 9% to $0.36 per common share and returned $182.0 million to common stockholders through dividends and stock repurchases, demonstrating our commitment to returning capital to our common stockholders,” said Frederick H. Waddell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

SECOND QUARTER 2015 PERFORMANCE VS. SECOND QUARTER 2014

Net income per diluted common share was $1.10 in the second quarter of 2015, up from $0.75 in the second quarter of 2014. Net income was $269.2 million, compared to $181.9 million in the prior-year quarter.

Revenue of $1.26 billion was up $174.2 million, or 16%, from $1.08 billion in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting higher other operating income, trust, investment and other servicing fees and foreign exchange trading income.

Trust, investment and other servicing fees were $756.8 million, up $49.9 million, or 7%, from $706.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase primarily reflected new business and higher equity markets, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of movements in foreign exchange rates.

Assets under custody and assets under management are the primary drivers of the Corporation’s trust, investment and other servicing fees. The following table presents the Corporation’s assets under custody and assets under management by reporting segment.

The increased Wealth Management fees across regions and Global Family Office were primarily attributable to higher equity markets and new business. Money market mutual fund fee waivers in Wealth Management totaled $14.6 million in the current quarter compared to $15.9 million in the prior-year quarter.

Foreign exchange trading income totaled $74.8 million, up $21.9 million, or 41%, compared with $52.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher currency volatility and client volumes as compared to the prior-year quarter.

Security commissions and trading income totaled $20.0 million, up 12%, compared with $17.8 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was attributable to higher referral fees and higher income from interest rate protection products sold to clients.

Other operating income totaled $137.4 million, up $96.9 million, compared to $40.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The current quarter includes a $99.9 million gain on the sale of a portion of the Visa Inc. Class B common shares issued to the Corporation in conjunction with the 2007 restructuring of Visa U.S.A. and its affiliates. Excluding the gain, other operating income totaled $37.5 million, down 7%, from the prior-year quarter, reflecting decreases in various miscellaneous income categories.

Net interest income on an FTE basis totaled $257.6 million, up 2%, compared to $253.4 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily the result of growth in earning assets, offset by a $17.8 million impairment of the residual value of certain aircraft under leveraged lease agreements and a lower net interest margin. Earning assets for the quarter averaged $103.8 billion, up $8.3 billion, or 9%, from $95.5 billion in the prior-year quarter, resulting from higher levels of securities, reflecting demand deposit growth, combined with increased loan volume. The net interest margin declined to 1.00% from 1.06% in the prior-year quarter. Excluding the impairment, the net interest margin was 1.06%, unchanged from the prior-year quarter, as higher securities yields and lower cost of interest-related funds were offset by lower loan and short-term interest-bearing deposit yields.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $10.0 million in the current quarter, reflecting improved credit quality. There was no provision for credit losses recorded in the prior-year quarter. Net charge-offs in the current quarter were $2.6 million, resulting from charge-offs of $6.1 million and recoveries of $3.5 million. The prior-year quarter included $5.9 million of net charge-offs, resulting from $7.8 million of charge-offs and $1.9 million of recoveries. Nonperforming assets decreased 10% from the prior-year quarter.

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED NET INTEREST INCOME TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT

Net interest income stated on an FTE basis is a non-GAAP financial measure that facilitates the analysis of asset yields. Management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest margins for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. The table below presents a reconciliation of interest income and net interest income prepared in accordance with GAAP to interest income and net interest income on an FTE basis.

Waddell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, Our fourth quarter and full year results reflect continued focus on serving our clients and improving the profitability and returns of our business. Our return on equity improved to 9.5% in 2013 from 9.3% in 2012 and 8.6% in 2011. We increased our quarterly dividend to $0.31 per share and repurchased 5.5 million shares in 2013, returning $609.0 million in capital to our shareholders compared to $449.8 million in 2012.

"Strong new business and higher equity markets drove client assets under custody and under management up 16% and 17%, respectively, compared to the prior year.

"Despite 8% growth in trust, investment and other servicing fees, overall revenue growth of 5% in 2013 was dampened by the challenging interest rate environment. Expense growth of 4% reflects the growth in our business and ongoing investment to support technology initiatives and regulatory and compliance requirements.

FOURTH QUARTER 2013 PERFORMANCE VS. FOURTH QUARTER 2012

Net income per common share was $0.70 in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $0.69 in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net income for the current quarter was $169.7 million, up 1% from $167.7 million in the prior year quarter. The current quarter includes the $19.2 million pre-tax charge in connection with the agreement to resolve certain long-standing class action litigation related to the Corporations securities lending program. The prior year quarter included restructuring and integration related pre-tax charges of $8.2 million ($5.2 million after tax, or $0.02 per common share).

Consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion in the current quarter was up $75.5 million, or 8%, from $969.7 million in the prior year quarter. Noninterest income, which represented 76% of revenue, increased $59.8 million, or 8%, to $795.3 million from the prior year quarters $735.5 million, primarily reflecting higher trust, investment and other servicing fees and foreign exchange trading income. Net interest income for the quarter on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis increased $15.5 million, or 7%, to $259.1 million compared to $243.6 million in the prior year quarter, due to higher levels of average earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin.

Trust, investment and other servicing fees were $673.8 million in the current quarter, up $51.2 million, or 8%, from $622.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily reflects new business and the favorable impact of equity markets, partially offset by higher waived fees in money market mutual funds.

Assets under custody and assets under management are the primary drivers of our trust, investment and other servicing fees. The following table provides the assets under custody and assets under management of Northern Trusts Corporate & Institutional Services (C&IS) and Wealth Management business units.

Custody and fund administration fees, the largest component of C&IS fees, increased 12%, primarily driven by new business and the favorable impact of equity markets. C&IS investment management fees increased 1%. New business and the favorable impact of equity markets were offset by higher waived fees in money market mutual funds.

Money market mutual fund fee waivers in C&IS, attributable to persistent low short-term interest rates, totaled $14.7 million in the current quarter, compared to waived fees of $5.7 million in the prior year quarter. Securities lending revenue increased 7%, primarily reflecting higher volumes in the current quarter.

Trust, investment and other servicing fees in Wealth Management totaled $302.7 million in the current quarter, increasing $24.4 million, or 9%, from $278.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increased fees in the current quarter are primarily due to higher equity markets and new business, partially offset by higher waived fees in money market mutual funds. Money market mutual fund fee waivers in Wealth Management totaled $16.2 million in the current quarter compared with $9.6 million in the prior year quarter.

Foreign exchange trading income totaled $50.8 million, up $10.0 million, or 25%, compared with $40.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is attributable to higher trading volumes and currency market volatility compared to the prior year quarter.

Other operating income totaled $38.2 million in the current quarter, up 8% from $35.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Net interest income for the quarter on an FTE basis totaled $259.1 million, up $15.5 million, or 7%, compared to $243.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is the result of higher levels of average earning assets, partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin to 1.12% from 1.17% in the prior year quarter. Average earning assets for the quarter were $91.60 billion, up $8.71 billion, or 11%, from $82.89 billion in the prior year quarter, due to higher levels of client deposits and short-term borrowings. The decline in the net interest margin primarily reflects lower yields on earning assets, partially offset by a lower cost of interest-related funds.

The provision for credit losses was $5.0 million in both the current quarter and the prior year quarter. Net charge-offs totaled $14.6 million for the current quarter, resulting from $19.5 million of charge-offs and $4.9 million of recoveries, compared to $5.4 million of net charge-offs in the prior year quarter, resulting from $16.1 million of charge-offs and $10.7 million of recoveries. Nonperforming assets were relatively unchanged from the prior year quarter.

Residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans accounted for 72% and 19%, respectively, of total nonperforming loans and leases at December 31, 2013.

Noninterest income in the current quarter decreased $14.9 million, or 2%, to $795.3 million from the prior quarter’s $810.2 million, primarily attributable to lower other operating income and foreign exchange trading income, partially offset by higher trust, investment and other servicing fees. Net interest income for the current quarter on an FTE basis increased $14.3 million, or 6%, to $259.1 million from $244.8 million in the prior quarter, due to higher levels of average earning assets, partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin.

Reported net income per common share for the full year was $2.99, compared to the prior full year’s $2.81 per common share. Net income for 2013 totaled $731.3 million, up $44.0 million, or 6%, from the prior year’s $687.3 million. The performance in 2013 produced a return on average common equity of 9.5% compared to 9.3% in 2012. The return on average assets was 0.8% in 2013 compared with 0.7% in 2012.

The current year includes the $19.2 million pre-tax charge in connection with the legal settlement and a $12.4 million pre-tax write-off of certain fee receivables resulting from the correction of an accrual methodology followed in prior years, offset by the $32.6 million pre-tax gain on the sale of an office building property. The prior year included restructuring, acquisition and integration related pre-tax charges of $18.6 million, partially offset by the $11.7 million tax benefit in connection with the resolution of certain leveraged lease related matters. Excluding these current and prior year items, net income per common share and return on average common equity in both periods would have been unchanged from their reported amounts, while net income would have been $730.7 million in 2013, up $43.1 million, or 6%, from $687.6 million in 2012.

Consolidated revenue totaled $4.09 billion in 2013, an increase of $193.2 million, or 5%, from $3.90 billion in the prior year. Noninterest income increased $250.4 million, or 9%, to $3.16 billion from $2.91 billion in 2012, primarily reflecting higher trust, investment and other servicing fees and foreign exchange trading income. The increased noninterest income was partially offset by lower net interest income.

Net interest income on an FTE basis in 2013 totaled $965.6 million, a decrease of $65.5 million, or 6%, compared to $1.03 billion in 2012, primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin, partially offset by higher levels of average earning assets.

The current year includes higher compensation and outside services expense, the $19.2 million pre-tax charge and higher charges associated with other account servicing activities, higher equipment and software expense, and increases in various other miscellaneous categories of other operating expense. The prior year included the $18.6 million pre-tax restructuring, acquisition and integration related charges.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Total stockholders’ equity averaged $7.78 billion, up 3% from the prior year quarter’s average of $7.55 billion. The increase is primarily attributable to earnings, partially offset by dividend declarations and the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share buyback program. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation repurchased 2,144,788 shares at a cost of $122.9 million ($57.31 average price per share) and 5,545,401 shares at a cost of $310.0 million ($55.90 average price per share), respectively. The Corporation is authorized by its board of directors to repurchase up to 7.9 million common shares after December 31, 2013.

As reflected in the table below, the risk-based capital ratios of Northern Trust and its principal subsidiary bank, The Northern Trust Company, remained strong at December 31, 2013, with all ratios exceeding the U.S. regulatory requirements for classification as “well capitalized” institutions.

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED NET INTEREST INCOME TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT

Net interest income stated on an FTE basis is a non-GAAP financial measure that facilitates the analysis of asset yields. Management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest margins for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. The tables below present a reconciliation of interest income and net interest income prepared in accordance with GAAP to interest income and net interest income on an FTE basis.
