Net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was $1.5 billion and $4.5 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, increasing $98 million and $258 million compared to the same periods in the prior year. Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was positively impacted by lower short-term market rates and decreases in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities, higher average balances of loans and leases and increases in yields on average consumer loans and leases. These positive impacts were partially offset by decreases in the average balances of and lower yields on other short-term investments as well as lower yields on average commercial loans and leases driven by lower short-term market rates. 

Net interest rate spread on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was 2.41% and 2.38% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 2.05% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Changes in market rates resulted in a decrease on rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities of 61 bps and 59 bps, partially offset by decreases in yields on average interest-earning assets of 25 bps and 26 bps for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Net interest margin on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was 3.13% and 3.10% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 2.90% and 2.88% for the same periods in the prior year. Net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was positively impacted by the previously mentioned increases in net interest rate spread and decreases in average interest-earning assets, which included decreases in average other short-term investments partially offset by increases in average loans and leases. 

Interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) from loans and leases decreased $2 million and $39 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily driven by decreases in yields on average commercial loans and leases associated with lower market rates, partially offset by increases in the average balances of loans and leases and higher yields
