Comments from Chairman and CEO, Chris Gorman

"Our first quarter results marked a strong beginning to the year. Revenue was up 16% year-over-year while expenses were essentially flat. We achieved both absolute and fee-based positive operating leverage on a year-over-year basis. Sequentially, net interest income grew 4% and the net interest margin increased by 17 basis points to 2.58%. On an adjusted basis(a), pre-provision net revenue increased more than $90 million from the prior quarter. Credit quality remained strong, with credit migration trends improving for the fifth consecutive quarter.

Our strong financial results are a function of continued momentum with both clients and prospects. Client deposits were up 4% year-over-year while deposit betas continue to improve. Commercial loans grew $1.2 billion from year-end levels. We continued to demonstrate progress in each of our strategic, fee-based businesses – wealth management, commercial payments, and investment banking.

As we look to the future, we are confident in our ability to navigate the current environment from a position of strength. We ended the quarter with a strong capital position – a luxury that gives us both flexibility and resiliency. Our liquidity position is robust and our credit metrics continue to improve.
