Fifth Third Employees Tackle Food Insecurity and Financial Access Nationwide for 35th Annual “Fifth Third Day”May 4, 2026 2:19 PM
Business Wire
Employees volunteer and give back to their communities across the U.S.


Today, employees across Fifth Third Bank’s (Nasdaq: FITB) U.S. footprint will celebrate the 35th annual “Fifth Third Day” through service activities to help fight food insecurity and expand financial access within their local communities.


On Fifth Third Day (5/3 on the calendar), Fifth Third employees unite to pack millions of meals and support local hunger relief organizations. The day kicks off a month of volunteering activities across Fifth Third’s U.S. footprint, focused on fighting food insecurity and expanding financial access and inclusion.


“Every year, this tradition reminds me of something simple and important: who we are is defined by how we show up — for our customers, for each other and for our communities,” said Tim Spence, chairman, CEO and president of Fifth Third. “Today kicks off a month-long effort to provide millions of meals and expand financial access to the communities we serve. And following our merger with Comerica, we have an expanded footprint and a larger team, united in our desire to make a meaningful difference.”


Since 1991, Fifth Third has celebrated its employees, customers and communities on its signature day, May 3. Because the date falls on a weekend this year, service activities begin on May 4 and will continue throughout May in support of local hunger relief organizations.


This year’s Fifth Third Day reflects the Bank’s expanded footprint following its merger with Comerica Bank, bringing the tradition to new communities for the first time. The day provides an opportunity for Fifth Third’s existing and new employees to unite behind a common goal: helping address food insecurity and advancing financial access and inclusion among their friends and neighbors.


“According to Feeding America, 48 million people in the United States face food insecurity, including 1 in 5 children. Our efforts on Fifth Third Day and throughout the month of May can make a difference,” said Kala Gibson, chief corporate responsibility officer for Fifth Third. “As Fifth Third and Comerica come together as the nation’s ninth largest U.S. bank, this year’s Fifth Third Day is special because it reflects our shared commitment to showing up for our communities where it matters the most.”


Expanding financial access for local communities


For more than 20 years, the Fifth Third Financial Empowerment Mobile, commonly known as the eBus, has brought financial access, social services, and education directly into communities the Bank serves, especially in underserved areas.


The eBus will visit communities across Ohio on Fifth Third Day and throughout the month of May as part of a 10-state tour that runs through November.


In partnership with SpringFour, the eBus connects community members to vital human and social services organizations to address needs related to food savings, rental resources, childcare, employment services, small business support and more. Through its digital self-service financial wellness solution, SpringFour delivers access to more than 27,000 local, state, and national nonprofit and government resources across more than 25 categories.


Fifth Third and SpringFour reimagined and relaunched the eBus on Fifth Third Day in 2024. Over the past two years, the eBus has delivered more than 31,000 financial health referrals during more than 3,000 visits, connecting individuals and families to essential resources. Services are free and available to all, regardless of whether the visitor is a Fifth Third customer.


Supporting the next generation


Fifth Third’s commitment to its communities also means investing in the next generation from the very beginning.


On May 3, Fifth Third surprised the families of babies born on Fifth Third Day at 53 select local hospitals across five cities – Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Nashville, Orlando – with a gift of $1,053 to open a 529 college savings account.


Since 2017, Fifth Third Babies has delivered nearly $965,000 in 529 plan funding to the families of more than 900 babies born on Fifth Third Day across eight states, in partnership with Gift of College, Inc. Families also receive care packages from Fifth Third with gift cards and gifts for the new baby and parents.


From 5/3 through 5/29, the public has the opportunity to participate in a social media sweepstakes to win a Fifth Third Babies gift bag, including a $1,053 Gift of College card to be redeemed at GiftofCollege.com into a 529 college savings plan.

Fifth Third Stakes Claim in Texas with First Branch OpeningApril 22, 2026 4:16 PM
Business Wire
Frisco Debut Fuels Texas Expansion with 150 Financial Centers Planned by 2029


Fifth Third (Nasdaq: FITB) today opened its first Texas financial center in Frisco, launching a broader expansion that builds on Comerica’s existing presence and represents more than $700 million in planned investment across the state. Following the conversion of Comerica branches on September 8, Fifth Third will operate 108 locations in Texas and plans to grow to more than 250 financial centers by 2029, securing a top-five footprint in Dallas, Austin, and Houston.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260422249510/en/Brian Enzler, Fifth Third North Texas Region President and Gabriel Wang, Fifth Third Financial Center Manager, reveal the new Fifth Third signage at Cowboys Way.
“Our goal is always to show up in a way that makes life easier for customers and strengthens the communities we join,” said Shawn Niehaus, Head of Consumer Banking at Fifth Third. “As we begin opening locations in Texas, we’re bringing a banking experience designed to meet people where they are and support their ambitions.”


Frisco is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, with an average of 24 people moving to the area every day, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. A major corporate hub with a thriving job market and a growing center for technology, Frisco is a premier, family friendly destination featuring highly regarded schools and extensive entertainment options.


“Frisco is a city defined by its momentum — a place where innovation isn’t just encouraged, it’s expected,” remarked Brian Enzler, Fifth Third North Texas Region President. “That spirit perfectly aligns with Fifth Third’s commitment to delivering modern, intuitive, and technology forward banking experiences. As the community continues to grow and set new standards for what a vibrant, future focused city can be, we’re excited to deepen our presence here. Our new Frisco branch reflects our belief in the city’s trajectory and our dedication to bringing customers smarter, more innovative ways to bank.”


Today’s opening is the first of 60 financial centers planned in North Texas over the next three years, laying the foundation for a strong market presence and top tier deposit share. Fifth Third’s entrance into Texas is part of a national expansion strategy that will grow the Bank’s retail presence to approximately 1,750 locations by 2030 across 17 of the 20 fastest-growing large markets in the U.S.


Over the last decade, Fifth Third has developed and refined a rapid deployment model for identifying, securing, and opening new locations. Powered by advanced data intelligence and industry leading innovation, the Bank is building density in the nation’s fastest growing markets and delivering its award-winning customer experiences with speed and precision. Fifth Third de novos opened in 2024 and 2025 averaged $25 million in deposits in their first 12 months—achieving 200% of targeted deposit growth and reaching profitability in just 36 months.


Data-Driven Expansion Strategy


Fifth Third’s expansion is informed by proprietary digital tools and analytics. The Bank’s Market Strength Index (MSI) and geospatial heatmaps—drawing on trillions of calculations and thousands of data points, including anonymized cellphone data—pinpoint optimal branch locations in high growth areas. This methodology has enabled Fifth Third to secure all 200 Southeast locations planned through 2028, and have letters of intent in place or in progress for approximately half of its future Texas sites.


Innovative Branch Design


Fifth Third’s new financial centers are designed to reflect how consumers want to bank today—blending digital convenience with personalized, in person service. The financial centers feature open layouts and welcoming meeting spaces. For everyday banking needs, customers can rely on Fifth Third’s award-winning mobile app and Fifth Third Momentum Banking® platform. This integrated model empowers customers to manage transactions quickly or engage in deeper financial conversations in private, comfortable settings.


Fifth Third’s first Texas location is at 17 Cowboys Way in Frisco, anchoring the first floor of the Frisco Business & Innovation Hub.

Fifth Third Shares Slip Despite Earnings Beat as Merger Costs WeighApril 17, 2026 8:11 AM
IH Market News
Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:FITB) reported first-quarter results on Friday that topped analyst expectations, but its shares declined more than 2% in premarket trading as investors focused on the impact of merger-related expenses tied to its recent acquisition of Comerica.The Cincinnati-based lender posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.15, outperforming the consensus estimate of -$0.10.However, reported results were weighed down by a net negative impact of $0.68 per share stemming from merger-related charges and other items. Revenue totaled $2.83 billion on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, representing a 33% year-on-year increase, largely driven by the Comerica deal completed on February 1.Net interest income rose 34% year-on-year to $1.94 billion, while the net interest margin expanded by 27 basis points to 3.30% compared with the prior year.The acquisition of Comerica added $86 billion in assets, $51 billion in loans, and $65 billion in deposits at closing. Average loan balances increased 30% year-on-year to $158 billion, while average deposits climbed 28% to $209 billion.“The first quarter reflected continued momentum across Fifth Third,” said Tim Spence. “We delivered strong loan and deposit growth, driven by new commercial relationships and continued household expansion. We closed the acquisition of Comerica on February 1st, and early financial benefits are already showing up, including strong net interest margin expansion and tangible book value per share growth.”Credit quality remained stable, with net charge-offs at 37 basis points, the lowest level since the fourth quarter of 2023. The nonperforming asset ratio improved to 0.57%, down from 0.81% a year earlier.Noninterest expenses totaled $2.40 billion, up 84% year-on-year, reflecting $635 million in pre-tax merger-related charges during the quarter—roughly half of the expected full-year integration costs. Excluding certain items, adjusted noninterest expenses were $1.77 billion.The bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio stood at 9.96%, down from 10.43% a year earlier, primarily due to the capital impact of the Comerica acquisition.Fifth Third Bancorp stock price

From Tim Spence, Fifth Third Chairman, CEO and President:







The first quarter reflected continued momentum across Fifth Third. We delivered strong loan and deposit growth, driven by new commercial relationships and continued household expansion. We closed the acquisition of Comerica on February 1st, and early financial benefits are already showing up, including strong net interest margin expansion and tangible book value per share growth.


Integration is progressing as we expected. We have integrated the combined management teams and are retaining key customer-facing colleagues, supporting continuity for clients as we move forward as one organization. We are also seeing early revenue synergies across both commercial and consumer businesses.


Our focus is unchanged: stability, profitability, and growth, in that order. Disciplined execution will drive growth and deepen client relationships as we expand in our attractive footprint markets, while maintaining strong credit performance and delivering the expected financial synergies from Comerica. We are building a better and more resilient institution and remain committed to delivering consistent, long-term value for shareholders.

Fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) NII of $1.939 billion increased $406 million, or 26%, compared to the prior quarter. This improvement primarily reflects contributions from the Comerica acquisition, lower funding costs and disciplined balance sheet management. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of market rates on floating rate loans and lower day count. These same factors contributed to the 17 bps increase in NIM compared to the prior quarter. Purchase accounting accretion contributed approximately $38 million to net interest income in the quarter.


Compared to the year-ago quarter, NII increased $497 million, or 34%, and NIM increased 27 bps. This improvement was driven by the addition of Comerica earning assets and lower funding costs, partially offset by lower market rates impacting earning asset yields.

Comparisons to the prior and year-ago quarters were primarily driven by merger-related impacts with additional incremental contributions from positive business momentum. Wealth and asset management revenue totaled $233 million, supported by seasonal tax-related revenue and higher personal asset management revenue. Commercial payments revenue was $218 million, reflecting continued strength in core treasury services. Capital markets fees of $134 million were driven by client financial risk management revenue. Commercial banking revenue totaled $105 million, reflecting higher commercial lending-related fees. Mortgage banking net revenue was $44 million, reflecting lower MSR net valuation adjustments.

Noninterest expense excluding certain items and non-qualified deferred compensation of $1.769 billion increased 39% compared to the prior quarter and increased 35% from the year-ago quarter. Expenses in the quarter were impacted by ongoing costs associated with the merger and seasonal-related increases in compensation and benefits. Merger-related expenses of $635 million noted above represent approximately half of the expected full-year charges.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases increased 30% and average commercial portfolio loans and leases increased 42%. In each comparison the growth was primarily driven by commercial loans and leases acquired from Comerica.


Compared to the prior quarter, average consumer portfolio loans of $52 billion increased 6%. On a year-over-year basis, average consumer portfolio loans increased 11%. Growth in both periods primarily reflected consumer loans acquired from Comerica, with additional growth due to strong production in indirect secured consumer loans.


Average securities (taxable and tax-exempt; amortized cost) of $60 billion in the current quarter increased 14% compared to the prior quarter and 6% compared to the year-ago quarter. Growth in both periods primarily reflected securities acquired from Comerica. Average other short-term investments (including interest-bearing cash) of $20 billion in the current quarter increased 13% compared to the prior quarter and increased 37% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Period-end commercial portfolio loans and leases of $123 billion increased 67% and 64% compared to the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. Growth in both comparisons primarily reflecting $46.5 billion of commercial loans and leases acquired from Comerica. Strong loan production and a rebound in line utilization also contributed to quarterly growth.


Period-end consumer portfolio loans of $53 billion increased 9% compared to the prior quarter and 13% compared to the year-ago quarter, both primarily driven by $4.1 billion of consumer loans acquired from Comerica.


Total period-end securities (taxable and tax-exempt; amortized cost) of $68 billion in the current quarter increased 31% compared to the prior quarter and increased 20% compared to the year-ago quarter. Securities growth in the quarter included $11.2 billion acquired from Comerica. Period-end other short-term investments of approximately $17 billion decreased 8% compared to the prior quarter and increased 17% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Total average deposits of $209 billion increased 24% compared to the prior quarter and period-end total deposits of $234 billion increased 36%. Compared to the year-ago quarter, total average deposits increased 28% and period-end total deposits increased 41%. In both comparisons the increase reflects $65.2 billion of deposits acquired from Comerica. Growth in high quality, low-cost deposits remains a key strategic priority to further enhance the deposit base.


The period-end portfolio loan-to-core deposit ratio was 76% in the current quarter, compared to 72% in the prior quarter and 75% in the year-ago quarter.

Average wholesale funding of $22 billion increased 14% compared to the prior quarter, driven by an increase in long-term debt reflecting the $5.5 billion acquired from Comerica and the $2 billion issuance in January 2026, partially offset by a decrease in FHLB advances. The 3% decrease in average wholesale funding compared to the year-ago quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease in FHLB advances, partially offset by an increase in long-term debt.

There was no share repurchase activity in the first quarter of 2026.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This release contains statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, capital actions or business. They usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as “will likely result,” “may,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “potential,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “projected,” “intends to,” or may include other similar words or phrases such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continue,” “remain,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated by our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).


There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (1) deteriorating credit quality; (2) loan concentration by location or industry of borrowers or collateral; (3) any instability or disruption in the financial system, including those caused by actual or perceived issues affecting the soundness of other financial institutions or market participants; (4) inadequate sources of funding or liquidity; (5) unfavorable actions of rating agencies; (6) inability to maintain or grow deposits; (7) limitations on the ability to receive dividends from subsidiaries; (8) cyber-security risks; (9) Fifth Third’s ability to secure confidential information and deliver products and services through the use of computer systems and telecommunications networks; (10) failures by third-party service providers; (11) inability to manage strategic initiatives and/or organizational changes; (12) inability to implement technology system enhancements, including the use of artificial intelligence; (13) failure of internal controls and other risk management programs; (14) losses related to fraud, theft, misappropriation or violence; (15) inability to attract and retain skilled personnel; (16) adverse impacts of government regulation; (17) governmental or regulatory changes or other actions; (18) failures to meet applicable capital requirements; (19) regulatory objections to Fifth Third’s capital plan; (20) regulation of Fifth Third’s derivatives activities; (21) deposit insurance premiums; (22) assessments for the orderly liquidation fund; (23) weakness in the national or local economies; (24) global political and economic uncertainty or negative actions; (25) changes in interest rates and the effects of inflation; (26) changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs; (27) changes and trends in capital markets; (28) fluctuation of Fifth Third’s stock price; (29) volatility in mortgage banking revenue; (30) litigation, investigations, and enforcement proceedings; (31) breaches of contractual covenants, representations and warranties; (32) competition and changes in the financial services industry; (33) potential impacts of the adoption of real-time payment networks; (34) changing retail distribution strategies, customer preferences and behavior; (35) difficulties in identifying, acquiring or integrating suitable strategic partnerships, investments or acquisitions; (36) potential dilution from future acquisitions; (37) loss of income and/or difficulties encountered in the sale and separation of businesses, investments or other assets; (38) results of investments or acquired entities; (39) changes in accounting standards or interpretation or declines in the value of Fifth Third’s goodwill or other intangible assets; (40) inaccuracies or other failures from the use of models; (41) effects of critical accounting policies and judgments or the use of inaccurate estimates; (42) weather-related events, other natural disasters, or health emergencies (including pandemics); (43) the impact of reputational risk created by these or other developments on such matters as business generation and retention, funding and liquidity; (44) changes in law or requirements imposed by Fifth Third’s regulators impacting our capital actions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases; (45) Fifth Third's ability to meet its environmental and/or social targets, goals and commitments; and (46) risks relating to the merger with Comerica Incorporated, including Fifth Third’s inability to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger and potential disruption to Fifth Third’s business resulting from post-merger integration.


You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” for further information on other factors, which could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to us. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as may be required by law, and we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The information contained herein is intended to be reviewed in its totality, and any stipulations, conditions or provisos that apply to a given piece of information in one part of this press release should be read as applying mutatis mutandis to every other instance of such information appearing herein.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


In addition to GAAP measures, management considers various non-GAAP measures when evaluating the performance of the business, including: “net interest income (FTE),” “interest income (FTE),” “net interest margin (FTE),” “net interest rate spread (FTE),” “income before income taxes (FTE),” “tangible net income available to common shareholders,” “average tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity (excluding AOCI),” “tangible common equity (including AOCI),” “tangible equity,” “tangible book value per share,” “tangible book value per share (excluding AOCI),” “adjusted noninterest income,” “noninterest income excluding certain items,” “adjusted noninterest expense,” “noninterest expense excluding certain items,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income", “adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “efficiency ratio (FTE),” “total revenue (FTE),” "adjusted total revenue," “noninterest income as a percent of total revenue”, and certain ratios derived from these measures. The Bancorp believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because these are among the measures used by the Fifth Third management team to evaluate operating performance and to make day-to-day operating decisions.


The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and securities held by the Bancorp that are not taxable for federal income tax purposes. The Bancorp believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and net interest margin as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.


The Bancorp believes tangible net income available to common shareholders, average tangible common equity, tangible common equity (excluding AOCI), tangible common equity (including AOCI), tangible equity, tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity are important measures for evaluating the performance of the business without the impacts of intangible items, whether acquired or created internally, in a manner comparable to other companies in the industry who present similar measures.


The Bancorp believes noninterest income, noninterest expense, net interest income, net interest margin, pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, adjusted total revenue, noninterest income as a percent of total revenue, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and return on average assets are important measures that adjust for significant, unusual, or large transactions that may occur in a reporting period which management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.


The Bancorp believes noninterest income excluding certain items and noninterest expense excluding certain items are important measures that adjust for certain components that are prone to significant period-to-period changes in order to facilitate the explanation of variances in the noninterest income and noninterest expense line items.


Management considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity and tangible common equity (including and excluding AOCI), in addition to capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies for both absolute and comparative purposes. These ratios are not formally defined by U.S. GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations and, therefore, are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that providing the tangible common equity ratio excluding AOCI on certain assets and liabilities enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity without the effects of changes in AOCI, some of which are uncertain; providing the tangible common equity ratio including AOCI enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity if components of AOCI, such as unrealized gains or losses, were to be monetized.


Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures.


Please see reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
