CHICAGO, OCTOBER 20, 2021 - Northern Trust Corporation today reported third quarter net income per diluted common share of $1.80, compared to $1.72 in the second quarter of 2021 and $1.32 in the third quarter of 2020. Net income was $395.7 million, compared to $368.1 million in the prior quarter and $294.5 million in the prior-year quarter.
MICHAEL O'GRADY, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER:
"Northern Trust's performance in the third quarter reflected the continued strength of our company and growth across each of our businesses. The results produced strong growth in earnings and a return on average common equity of 13.7%. Revenue grew by 10% compared to last year, as new business continued to contribute to growth in our trust, investment and other servicing fees. Net interest income also increased on a year-over-year basis for the first time since the end of 2019, driven by growth in our balance sheet in support of our clients' liquidity needs. The quarter's results compared to the prior year produced positive fee and total operating leverage, and solid improvements in profitability and returns, despite the persistent low interest rate environment. We achieved these results while continuing to focus on delivering exceptional services and solutions to our clients, driving efficiency, and investing for future profitable growth."

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
The following table presents a reconciliation of interest income, net interest income, net interest margin, and total revenue prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to such measures on an FTE basis, which are non-generally accepted accounting financial measures. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Management believes this presentation provides a clearer indication of these financial measures 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.
