CEO Commentary:

"Our third-quarter results demonstrated a solid start for the combined revenue generation potential of Huntington following the acquisition of TCF," said Steve Steinour, chairman, president and CEO. "Through the enormous effort of our colleagues, we successfully converted TCF's core system and completed all branch consolidations in October, concluding the majority of actions leading to announced cost synergies, and we are increasingly turning our focus toward revenue synergies."

"We continued to see increasing momentum in our business strategies during the quarter, delivering loan growth excluding PPP and with strength in areas of strategic focus for fee income, including areas like wealth, capital markets, and cards and payments. Additionally, we are continuing to make strategic investments to drive sustained organic growth by dynamically managing expenses."

"Finally, Huntington is proud to be ranked as the largest Small Business Administration 7(a) lender by volume nationally for the fourth consecutive year," Steinour said. "This reinforces our leadership position in supporting small businesses, and serves as the foundation for our business banking expansion strategy including in Minnesota and Colorado."
