Current report
•Our provision for credit losses for loans was $1.1 billion in first quarter 2026, compared with $925 million in the same period a year ago, and included an increase in the allowance reflecting higher commercial and industrial and auto loan balances, partially offset by a lower allowance for commercial real estate loans and lower credit card balances.
Current report
We also evaluate the Company’s net interest income excluding the net interest income of our Markets business. Markets net interest income includes interest income earned on the assets and interest expense paid on the liabilities of the line of business, as well as funding charges and credits using our funds transfer pricing methodology. Net interest income excluding Markets is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is useful because it enables management, investors, and others to assess the net interest income from the Company’s lending, investing, and deposit-raising activities without the volatility that may be associated with Markets activities. Table 1 provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure.
