58 Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

At September 30, 2024, the ACL was $2.4 billion, an increase of $36 million driven by loan and lease portfolio growth compared to December 31, 2023. The commercial ACL was $1.6 billion at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The consumer ACL was $798 million at September 30, 2024 and $771 million at December 31, 2023.

The baseline economic scenario used in the September 30, 2024 ACL determination projected the Federal Reserve to have entered into a cycle of rate cuts, with regular cuts forecast throughout the remainder of 2024 through 2026 until reaching a federal funds rate of 3% by 2027. Inflation is forecasted to approach the Federal Reserve’s target level of 2% by the end of 2024. Unemployment is projected to have peaked at 4.2% in the third quarter of 2024. Marginal improvement is expected with unemployment returning to 4.0% by 2026.

The economic scenarios used included elevated levels of uncertainty including the impact of specific challenges in the commercial real estate Industry, recent inflation levels, the U.S. labor market, the expected path of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, and the impact of significant conflicts on-going around the world. Given the uncertainty associated with key economic scenario assumptions, the September 30, 2024 ACL included a general reserve that consists of various risk profile components to address uncertainty not measured within the quantitative transaction reserve.

7. BORROWINGS

Borrowings with original maturities of one year or less are classified as short-term and were comprised of the following:

The carrying value of assets pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements totaled $189 million and $840 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Assets pledged as collateral are reported in available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The repurchase agreements have maturities within 60 days. No amounts have been offset against the agreements.

Huntington’s long-term debt consisted of the following:

(1) Represents secured borrowings collateralized by auto loans with a weighted average rate of 5.38% due through 2029. See Note 14 - “Variable Interest Entities” for additional information.

(2) Represents notes issued in a CLN transaction on a $4.0 billion reference pool of Huntington’s auto-secured loans. There are five classes of notes, each maturing on May 20, 2032. One note class bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.153% and the remaining four note classes bear interest at SOFR plus a spread rate that ranges from 1.40% to 8.25% (weighted average spread of 3.04%). As of September 30, 2024, the weighted average contractual interest rate on the CLNs was 6.98%. Huntington has elected the fair value option for these notes. See Note 12 - “Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities” for additional information. To the extent losses exceed certain thresholds, the principal and interest payable on the notes may be reduced by a portion of the Company's aggregate net losses on the reference pool of loans, with losses allocated to note classes in reverse order of payment priority.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings (adjusted for preferred stock dividends and the impact of preferred stock repurchases and redemptions) 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.

11. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue is segregated based on the nature of product and services offered as part of contractual arrangements. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table shows Huntington’s total noninterest income segregated between revenue with contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 and revenue within the scope of other GAAP Topics.

The following table illustrates the disaggregation by operating segment and major revenue stream and reconciles disaggregated revenue to segment revenue presented in Note 16 - “Segment Reporting”. During the fourth quarter of 2023 we updated the presentation of our noninterest income categories to align product and service types more closely with how we strategically manage our business. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2023, we completed an organizational realignment and now report ontwo business segments. Prior period results for each reporting update have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation.

2024 3Q Form 10-Q 65

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 September 30, 2024 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 September 30, 2024 was determined to be immaterial.
