“We continue to be pleased with the strong execution of our key initiatives during the third quarter,” said Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. “Our Private Bank reached $5.6 billion in deposits and $4.1 billion in AUM, our NYC Metro region continues to achieve strong growth, and we are close to launching a TOP 10 program with $100 million plus impact. Our balance sheet

remains strong across capital, liquidity, funding and loan loss reserves. While Q3 was impacted by the drag from forward-starting swaps that commenced in July, as well as some fees that pushed out to Q4, we project a strong fourth quarter and launch into 2025.”

Citizens also announced today that its board of directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.42 per share. The dividend is payable on November 13, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 30, 2024.

Third quarter 2024 vs. second quarter 2024

Net interest income of $1.4 billion decreased 2.9%, primarily reflecting lower net interest margin and slightly lower interest-earning assets.

•Net interest margin of 2.77% was down 10 basis points, largely reflecting the impact of forward starting swaps (9 basis points) and low-cost deposit migration, partly offset by the benefit of higher fixed-rate repricing and Non-Core run off.

•Interest-bearing deposit costs were up 4 basis points; total deposit costs were up 2 basis points, while total cost of funds was stable at 2.48%.

Third quarter 2024 vs. third quarter 2023

Net interest income of $1.4 billion decreased 10%, reflecting lower net interest margin and a 1% decline in average interest-earning assets.

•Net interest margin of 2.77% decreased 26 basis points, as an increase in swap and funding costs, and the impact of building liquidity were partly offset by higher interest-earning-asset yields and the benefit of Non-Core run off.

•Wealth fees increased $13 million, reflecting increased sales activity and higher asset management fees.

•Mortgage banking fees decreased $23 million, primarily reflecting lower MSR valuation, net of hedging.

Third quarter 2024 vs. second quarter 2024

Period-end interest-earning assets of $195.3 billion were relatively stable reflecting a $210 million decrease in loans and leases and a $555 million decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits, partly offset by a $751 million increase in investments in securities. The decrease in loans and leases reflects a $126 million decline in commercial driven by paydowns and balance sheet optimization actions as well as market conditions resulting in lower client demand. Results also reflect an $84 million decrease in retail, given $1.0 billion of Non-Core portfolio run off, partly offset by growth in home equity and mortgage.

Average interest-earning assets of $197.2 billion decreased $1.3 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $1.1 billion decrease in total loans and leases and a $754 million decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits, partly offset by a $392 million increase in investments. The decrease in loans and leases reflects a $675 million decrease in commercial given paydowns and balance sheet optimization actions as well as market conditions driving lower client demand. Retail decreased $389 million driven by Non-Core portfolio run off, partly offset by growth in home equity and mortgage.

The average effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.3 years, compared with 3.7 years at June 30, 2024 and 5.2 years at September 30, 2023.

Third quarter 2024 vs. third quarter 2023

Period-end interest-earning assets of $195.3 billion decreased $5.2 billion, or 3%, reflecting a $8.3 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale and a $3.7 billion decrease in investments in cash held in interest-bearing deposits, partly offset by a $6.9 billion increase in investments in securities. The decrease in loans and leases reflects a $5.6 billion decline in commercial given paydowns, balance sheet optimization actions and lower client demand, and a $2.5 billion decline in retail given $4.5 billion of Non-Core portfolio run off, partly offset by growth in home equity and mortgage.

Average interest-earning assets of $197.2 billion decreased $2.4 billion, or 1%, reflecting a $9.1 billion decrease in total loans and leases and loans held for sale, partly offset by a $5.8 billion increase in investments in securities and a $891 million increase in cash held in interest-bearing deposits.

Third quarter 2024 vs. second quarter 2024

Period-end borrowed funds increased by $875 million. Senior debt increased by $1.3 billion, reflecting new issuance. This was partly offset by a $389 million decrease in collateralized borrowings on auto loans given run off of the associated portfolio.

Average borrowed funds decreased $1.6 billion, largely driven by a $1.9 billion decrease in FHLB advances. Senior debt increased by $778 million, reflecting new issuance, and collateralized borrowings on auto loans decreased by $214 million.

Third quarter 2024 vs. third quarter 2023

Period-end borrowed funds decreased by $3.6 billion, primarily due to a decrease in FHLB advances of $6.5 billion, partly offset by the $2.5 billion increase in senior debt issuances and $556 million increase in auto collateralized borrowings.

Average borrowed funds increased by $132 million, reflecting a $3.5 billion decrease in FHLB advances driven by the run off of the Non-Core portfolio and re-mixing of funding to auto collateralized borrowings, up $1.9 billion, and senior debt issuances, up $2.2 billion.

Third quarter 2024 vs. second quarter 2024

•The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio of 1.19% compares with 1.08% at June 30, 2024. Nonaccrual loans of $1.7 billion increased $160 million, or 10%, primarily reflecting a $132 million increase in Commercial, given an increase in General Office as we proceed with workout actions.

•Net charge-offs of $192 million, or 54 basis points of average loans and leases, increased 2 basis points compared with the prior quarter. The increase primarily reflects seasonality in Auto. A sequential decline in commercial real estate charge-offs was offset by the resolution of several nonperforming credits in C&I.

•The third quarter 2024 provision for credit losses of $172 million compares with $182 million for second quarter 2024. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans of 1.61% decreased from 1.63% as of June 30, 2024, primarily reflecting an improved macroeconomic outlook and loan mix given Non-Core run off and high quality originations.

•The allowance for credit losses to nonaccrual loans and leases ratio of 136% compares with 151% as of June 30, 2024.

Third quarter 2024 vs. third quarter 2023

•The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio of 1.19% increased from 0.87% at September 30, 2023.

•Nonaccrual loans increased $391 million, or 30%, primarily reflecting an increase in the General Office segment of commercial real estate.

•Net charge-offs of $192 million, or 54 basis points of average loans and leases, increased $39 million, primarily reflecting a $28 million increase in commercial.

•Provision for credit losses of $172 million compares with a $172 million provision in third quarter 2023.

•Allowance for credit losses of $2.3 billion decreased $32 million compared with September 30, 2023. Allowance for credit losses ratio of 1.61% as of September 30, 2024, compares with 1.55% as of September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures denoted as Underlying. Underlying results for any given reporting period exclude certain items that may occur in that period which Management does not consider indicative of the Company’s on-going financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by our Management to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe our Underlying results in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance in that period and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. We further believe the presentation of Underlying results increases comparability of period-to-period results. See the following pages for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that may be calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by such companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “targets,” “initiatives,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook,” “guidance” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.”

Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management, and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:

•Negative economic, business and political conditions, including as a result of the interest rate environment, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages, that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits;

•The general state of the economy and employment, as well as general business and economic conditions, and changes in the competitive environment;

•Our capital and liquidity requirements under regulatory standards and our ability to generate capital and liquidity on favorable terms;

•The effect of changes in our credit ratings on our cost of funding, access to capital markets, ability to market our securities, and overall liquidity position;

•The effect of changes in the level of commercial and consumer deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;

•Our ability to execute on our strategic business initiatives and achieve our financial performance goals across our Consumer and Commercial businesses, including our Private Bank;

•The effects of geopolitical instability, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, on economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures and the interest rate environment, commodity price and foreign exchange rate volatility, and heightened cybersecurity risks;

•Our ability to comply with heightened supervisory requirements and expectations as well as new or amended regulations;

•Liabilities and business restrictions resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations;

•The effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale;

•Changes in interest rates and market liquidity, as well as the magnitude of such changes, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets;

•Financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses;

•Environmental risks, such as physical or transition risks associated with climate change, and social and governance risks, that could adversely affect our reputation, operations, business, and customers;

•A failure in or breach of our compliance with laws, as well as operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks; and

•Management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.

In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the actual amounts and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions, and regulatory considerations, as well as any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares from or pay any dividends to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or dividends.

More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note: Per share amounts and ratios presented in this document are calculated using whole dollars.
