Rhea-AI Filing Summary

KeyCorp reported strong first quarter 2026 results with broad-based growth and solid asset quality. Net income attributable to common shareholders from continuing operations was $486 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, up from $370 million, or $0.33, a year earlier, a 33% earnings increase per share. Total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis rose 10% year-over-year to $1.95 billion, driven by 11% growth in net interest income to $1.23 billion and 8% growth in noninterest income to $723 million. Net interest margin improved to 2.87% from 2.58% as funding costs declined and higher-yielding commercial and industrial loans grew.

Average loans increased to $107.7 billion, up 3.2% year-over-year, led by 10.1% growth in commercial and industrial balances, while consumer loans intentionally declined. Average deposits were $147.3 billion and the cost of total deposits fell to 1.65%. Credit quality remained favorable, with net charge-offs at 0.38% of average loans and nonperforming assets at 0.63% of loans plus OREO. The allowance for credit losses was $1.75 billion, or 1.60% of period-end loans. Capital stayed above regulatory “well-capitalized” levels, with an estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.4%. KeyCorp returned capital through a $0.205 quarterly dividend and repurchased $389 million of common stock, reducing shares outstanding to about 1.09 billion.

Insights

KeyCorp delivered double-digit revenue and EPS growth with stable credit and solid capital.

KeyCorp generated total taxable-equivalent revenue of $1.95 billion, up 10% year-over-year, with net interest income up 11% and noninterest income up 8%. Diluted EPS from continuing operations rose to $0.44 from $0.33, reflecting operating leverage as expenses increased only 4%.

Credit metrics remained manageable: net charge-offs were $101 million, or 0.38% of average loans, improved from 0.43% a year ago, while nonperforming assets were $692 million, or 0.63% of loans plus OREO. The allowance for credit losses of $1.75 billion covered 1.60% of period-end loans.

Capital stayed comfortably above regulatory thresholds, with estimated CET1 at 11.4% and a marked CET1 ratio of 10.0%. Management also highlighted an expected 100+ basis point benefit to the marked CET1 ratio under the proposed Basel III revised standardized approach. Shareholder returns were meaningful: $389 million of buybacks plus a $0.205 dividend per share, while tangible book value per share increased 10% year-over-year.

Common Equity Tier 1 ratio 11.4% Estimated at March 31, 2026
net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin (TE) from continuing operations | 2.87 | | 2.82 | | 2.58"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio financial
"Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (b) | 11.4 | | 11.8 | | 11.6"
The common equity tier 1 ratio is a measure of a bank's financial strength, showing how much high-quality core capital it has compared to its total risk-weighted assets. Think of it as a safety buffer or cushion that helps ensure the bank can withstand economic shocks. For investors, a higher ratio indicates a stronger, more resilient bank, making it a key indicator of its financial health.
allowance for credit losses financial
"Allowance for credit losses | 1,745 | | 1,740 | | 1,707"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
nonperforming assets financial
"Nonperforming assets at period end | $ | 692 | | $ | 627 | | $ | 700"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
taxable-equivalent financial
"Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.23 billion for the first quarter of 2026"
An adjustment that converts income from a tax-advantaged investment into the equivalent yield it would need to produce if it were fully taxable, so different investments can be compared on the same after-tax footing. For investors this matters because it shows the true, comparable return after accounting for tax differences—like converting prices that include sales tax so you can directly compare what you actually pay and receive.
tangible common equity financial
"Return on average tangible common equity from continuing operations (a) | 13.02 %"
Tangible common equity is the portion of a company’s net worth that belongs to ordinary shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill or patents) and any preferred claims; it’s often expressed on a per-share basis. Think of it as the hard, sellable value left for common owners if you removed non-physical assets and paid off debts—investors use it to judge how much real cushion a company has and whether the stock might be under- or over-valued.

KEYCORP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 NET INCOME OF $486 MILLION,
OR $0.44 PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE INCREASING 33% YEAR-OVER-YEAR


Revenue of $1.95 billion, up 10% year-over-year, with noninterest income up 8%

Net interest income up 11% year-over-year and 1% quarter-over-quarter despite seasonality impact; net interest margin of 2.87% increased 5 bps sequentially

Period-end loans up $2.6 billion quarter-over-quarter, with commercial loans up $3.3 billion or 4%

Credit quality remains strong - nonperforming assets were 63 bps and net charge-offs were 38 bps

Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.4%(a); repurchased $389 million of common shares during the quarter


    CLEVELAND, April 16, 2026 - KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) announced net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $486 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026. For the fourth quarter of 2025, net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders was $474 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, or adjusted net income of $458 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share.(b) The fourth quarter of 2025 included a $16 million after-tax benefit related to the updated FDIC special assessment.(c) For the first quarter of 2025, KeyCorp reported net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders of $370 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share.

Comments from Chairman and CEO, Chris Gorman
"Our strong first quarter performance demonstrates disciplined execution and significant momentum as we continue to deliver on our commitments. Revenue grew 10% year-over-year, growing at more than double the rate of expenses. We grew net interest income and net interest margin sequentially and year-over-year. Our priority fee-based businesses - investment banking, commercial payments, and wealth management - collectively grew 12% year-over-year. Return on tangible common equity exceeded 13%, reflecting significant progress toward achieving our goal of 15%+ return on tangible common equity by year-end 2027.

In addition to driving a greater return on capital, we remain committed to the return of capital. We repurchased almost $400 million of common shares in the first quarter. We are also encouraged by the recently updated Basel III proposal which, if implemented as currently proposed, would imply more than 100 basis point benefit to our marked CET1 ratio.

We are successfully navigating the dynamic macroeconomic environment and are prepared to manage through a broad range of potential scenarios. We are growing clients, loans, and pipelines. We continue to gain momentum in the marketplace, and are investing across the franchise in frontline bankers and technology that will drive additional organic growth and efficiency. We remain well positioned to drive strong revenue and earnings growth in 2026 through the continued delivery of our differentiated capabilities and exceptional service to our clients."

TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.23 billion for the first quarter of 2026 and the net interest margin was 2.87%. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, net interest income increased by $125 million, and the net interest margin increased by 29 basis points. These increases were driven by a reduction in deposit costs as a result of declining interest rates and proactive deposit beta management, the reinvestment of proceeds from maturing low-yielding investment securities and fixed-rate swaps into higher-yielding investments, and a shift in the balance sheet composition to a more favorable mix of higher-yielding commercial and industrial loans. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on variable-rate earning assets.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $7 million, and the net interest margin increased by 5 basis points. These increases reflect lower deposit costs and a shift in the balance sheet composition to a more favorable mix of higher-yielding commercial and industrial loans. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on variable-rate earning assets, a decline in low-cost deposit balances from seasonal outflows, and two fewer days in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.

Total noninterest income$723 $782 $668 (7.5)%8.2%

Compared to the first quarter of 2025, noninterest income increased by $55 million. The increase was primarily driven by a $22 million increase in investment banking and debt placement fees reflecting higher merger and acquisition advisory fees, commercial mortgage debt placement activity, and equity underwriting activity, as well as an $18 million increase in trust and investment services income. These were partially offset by a $14 million decrease in commercial mortgage servicing fees.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, noninterest income decreased by $59 million. The decrease was driven by a $46 million decrease in investment banking and debt placement fees, a $10 million decrease in corporate services income, and a $6 million decrease in commercial mortgage servicing fees.

Compared to the first quarter of 2025, noninterest expense increased by $50 million. The increase was predominantly driven by a $63 million increase in personnel expense primarily related to continued investments in people, employee benefits, and incentive compensation associated with noninterest income growth.

    Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, noninterest expense decreased by $60 million. The decrease was predominantly driven by a $47 million decline in personnel expense, primarily related to incentive compensation. Business services and professional fees decreased by $25 million and marketing expense decreased by $10 million largely due to seasonality. These were partially offset by an increase in other expense related to a $21 million benefit associated with the updated FDIC special assessment in the prior quarter.

    Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $101 million, or 0.38% of average total loans. These results compare to $110 million, or 0.43%, for the first quarter of 2025 and $104 million, or 0.39%, for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Key’s allowance for credit losses was $1.7 billion, or 1.60% of total period-end loans at March 31, 2026, compared to 1.63% at March 31, 2025, and 1.63% at December 31, 2025. A reserve build of $5 million during the first quarter of 2026 was driven by increases in qualitative reserves due to elevated economic uncertainty, partially offset by continued improvement in the portfolio mix.

    At March 31, 2026, Key’s nonperforming loans totaled $682 million, which represented 0.62% of period-end portfolio loans. These results compare to 0.65% at March 31, 2025, and 0.58% at December 31, 2025. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2026, totaled $692 million, and represented 0.63% of period-end portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets. These results compare to 0.67% at March 31, 2025, and 0.59% at December 31, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management
believes it to be helpful in understanding Key’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this document, the financial supplement, or conference call slides related to this document, all of which can be found on Key’s website (www.key.com/ir).

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
From time to time Key may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. Key is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because Key is unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant for future results.

Annualized Data
Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an “annualized”
basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts.

Taxable Equivalent
The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at the federal statutory rate. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt loans, and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to peers.

Earnings Per Share Equivalent
Certain income or expense items may be expressed on a per common share basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying trends in total consolidated earnings per share performance excluding the impact of such items. When the impact of certain income or expense items is disclosed separately, the after-tax amount is computed using the marginal tax rate, unless otherwise specified, with this then being the amount used to calculate the earnings per share equivalent.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Dollars in millions)
The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures defined and described below.

The tangible common equity ratio and the return on average tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Adjusted return on average tangible common equity excludes significant or unusual items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance. Management believes this measure provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

The table also shows the computation for pre-provision net revenue and adjusted pre-provision net revenue, which are not formally defined by GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects of the provision for credit losses makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis. Further, management believes that adjusting pre-provision net revenue for significant or unusual items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

The cash efficiency ratio is a ratio of two non-GAAP performance measures. As such, there is no directly comparable GAAP performance measure. The cash efficiency ratio performance measure removes the impact of Key’s intangible asset amortization from the calculation. Management believes this ratio provides greater consistency and comparability between Key’s results and those of its peer banks. Additionally, this ratio is used by analysts and investors as they develop earnings forecasts and peer bank analysis. The adjusted cash efficiency ratio excludes significant or unusual items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance

Adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue or adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP measure in that it adjusts revenue for certain tax-exempt instruments and selected items. The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable instruments. Additionally, management believes adjusting for the selected items provide investors with useful information to gain a better understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods, as well as demonstrate the effects of the financial impacts related to those selected items.

Adjusted noninterest income and adjusted noninterest expense are non-GAAP measures in that they exclude significant or unusual items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance. Management believes these measures provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

Adjusted income (loss) available from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders (or “adjusted net income”) and diluted earnings per share - adjusted (or "adjusted earnings per share") are non-GAAP in that these measures exclude significant or unusual items, net of tax, that management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance . Management believes these measures provide investors with useful information to gain a better understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods.

Adjusted operating leverage and fee-based adjusted operating leverage are non-GAAP performance measures that utilize revenue on a tax-equivalent basis and adjust revenue and expense for significant and unusual items. Management utilizes these measurements in analyzing performance and believes that adjusting for significant and unusual items provide investors with useful information to gain a better understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods.

Marked CET1 ratio is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated based on Common Equity Tier 1 capital, inclusive of the AOCI impact from securities and pension. The marked CET1 ratio differs from the defined CET1 regulatory capital ratio by including the impact of AFS and pension accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) amounts in the calculation of the capital ratio. These ratios are not defined in GAAP or federal banking regulations. As a result, these non-regulatory capital ratios disclosed may be considered non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

(e)Yield presented is calculated on the basis of amortized cost excluding fair value hedge basis adjustments. The average amortized cost for securities available for sale was $41.5 billion, $42.1 billion, and $42.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Yield based on the fair value of securities available for sale was 3.75%, 3.90%, and 3.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.
(f)A portion of long-term debt and the related interest expense is allocated to discontinued liabilities as a result of applying Key’s matched funds transfer pricing methodology to discontinued operations.

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, KeyCorp’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “seek,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “goal,” “objective,” “prospects,” “possible,” “potential,” “strategy,” “opportunities,” or “trends,” by future conditional verbs such as “assume,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may”, or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties, which are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond KeyCorp’s control). Actual results may differ materially from current projections. Actual outcomes may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of the factors described under “Forward-looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in KeyCorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in subsequent filings of KeyCorp with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For additional information regarding KeyCorp, please refer to our SEC filings available at www.key.com/ir. Non-GAAP Measures. This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Key’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the appendix to this presentation, the financial supplement, or the press release related to this presentation, all of which can be found on Key’s website (www.key.com/ir). Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures. From time to time we may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant for future results. Annualized Data. Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. Taxable Equivalent. Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income had been taxable at the federal statutory rate. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt municipal securities, and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to results of peers. Earnings Per Share Equivalent. Certain income or expense items may be expressed on a per common share basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying trends in total consolidated earnings per share performance excluding the impact of such items. When the impact of certain income or expense items is disclosed separately, the after-tax amount is computed using the marginal tax rate, unless otherwise specified, with this then being the amount used to calculate the earnings per share equivalent.
