Insights

Northern Trust posted broad-based Q1 2026 growth, stronger margins, and full capital return.

Northern Trust delivered 14% revenue growth to $2.21 billion and 34% net income growth to $525.5 million, with EPS up 43% year-over-year to $2.71. Both fee-based and net interest income contributed, while expenses rose only 6%, producing roughly 740 basis points of positive operating leverage and a 32.0% pre-tax margin.

Balance sheet metrics show average earning assets up 11% and net interest income (FTE) up 15% despite modest margin pressure versus the prior quarter. Credit quality remains solid, with a small negative provision for credit losses and very low net charge-offs, while capital ratios, including a 12.0% CET1, remain comfortably above “well-capitalized” thresholds.

The company returned 100% of earnings to common shareholders via $150.8 million of dividends and $358.9 million of buybacks, signaling confidence in its capital position. Future filings and earnings updates will clarify whether current revenue momentum, particularly in asset servicing and wealth management, can be sustained against market and macroeconomic uncertainty.

fully taxable equivalent (FTE) financial
"Net interest income and total revenue presented on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE*) basis are non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures."
operating leverage financial
"Disciplined expense management and a sustained focus on operational efficiency generated more than 700 basis points of operating leverage, a 32% pre-tax margin, and a 43% rise in earnings per share."
Operating leverage measures how much a company's profits are affected by changes in sales volume. When a business has high operating leverage, small increases in sales can lead to much larger increases in profit, much like a lever amplifies force. It matters to investors because it indicates how sensitive a company's earnings are to fluctuations in sales, affecting risk and potential returns.
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital regulatory
"Common Equity Tier 1 Capital | $ | 11,173.5 | $ | 11,192.5 | $ | 11,140.9"
Core capital a bank holds consisting mainly of common shares and retained profits that can absorb losses without forcing the bank to sell assets or seek emergency help; items that can’t reliably cover losses are excluded. Think of it as the bank’s shock-absorbing cushion: a higher common equity tier 1 (CET1) level and ratio means regulators and investors view the bank as better able to survive bad loans or market shocks, so it signals lower risk to shareholders and creditors.
assets under custody/administration (AUC/A) financial
"Assets under custody/administration (AUC/A) and assets under management are a driver of the Corporation’s trust, investment and other servicing fees."
noninterest expense financial
"Total Noninterest Expense | $ | 1,508.0 | | $ | 1,497.3 | | $ | 1,417.6"
Costs a company incurs that are not tied to borrowing or lending, such as employee pay, rent, technology, marketing, and office supplies. Think of a household: noninterest expense is everything you pay for living and running the home except mortgage or loan interest; for investors, it shows how efficiently a company runs its core operations and directly affects profit margins and the cash available for growth or dividends.

Q1 2026
The negative provision in the current quarter resulted from a decrease in the collective reserve, partially offset by an increase in individual reserves. The decrease in the collective reserve was primarily driven by improved credit quality of the Commercial and Institutional (C&I) portfolio, partially offset by increased macroeconomic uncertainty. The increase in the individual reserve was driven by a small number of non-performing loans.
Q4 2025
The negative provision in the prior quarter resulted from a decrease in the collective reserve primarily driven by refinements to factors used to estimate losses for the C&I portfolio.
Q1 2025
The provision in the prior-year quarter resulted from an increase in the collective reserve, primarily driven by increased projected macroeconomic uncertainty, partially offset by sector and portfolio-specific improvements within the Commercial Real Estate portfolio.

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
The following table presents a reconciliation of interest income, net interest income, net interest margin, total revenue, income before taxes, and pre-tax margin prepared in accordance with GAAP to such measures on an FTE non-GAAP basis. Management believes this presentation facilitates the analysis of asset yields and provides a clearer indication of these financial measures for comparative purposes. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.

INTEREST RATE TRENDS (FTE(1) Basis)
PERIOD AVERAGES
Net Interest Income (FTE Adjusted), a non-GAAP financial measure, includes adjustments to a fully taxable equivalent basis for loans and securities. A reconciliation of net interest income, net interest margin, and net interest spread on a GAAP basis to net interest income, net interest margin, and net interest spread on an FTE basis, respectively, (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) is provided on pages 11 and 12. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Net interest spread is calculated as the difference between the interest rate earned (annualized interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) and the interest rate incurred (annualized interest expense divided by average interest-related funds).

Northern Trust Corporation
RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
($ in Millions)
Northern Trust presents certain financial measures on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP). Management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of these financial measures for comparative purposes.

Net interest income (FTE) – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income, consistent with industry practice. The adjustments are based on the federal income tax rate, where the rate is adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of related federal tax benefit. When adjusted to an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. Below is a reconciliation of the financial measures presented on an FTE basis.
