Net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was $1.5 billion and $2.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, increasing $107 million and $159 million compared to the same periods in the prior year. Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was positively impacted by lower rates paid on average 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 yields on other short-term investments as well as lower yields on average commercial loans and leases. 

Net interest rate spread on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was 2.40% and 2.36% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 2.04% for the same periods in the prior year. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 61 bps and 58 bps, partially offset by decreases in yields on average interest-earning assets of 25 bps and 26 bps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Net interest margin on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was 3.12% and 3.08% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 2.88% and 2.87% for the same periods in the prior year. Net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was positively impacted by the previously mentioned increases in net interest rate spread and decreases in interest-earning assets, which included decreases in average other short-term investments partially offset by increases in average loans and leases. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025 also included a $14 million benefit associated with the payoff of a partially charged-off commercial loan previously classified as nonaccrual. Net interest margin results are expected to remain stable or modestly increase over the next several quarters driven by loan growth, fixed-rate asset repricing and continued liability cost management, assuming the FOMC continues its easing cycle. However, net interest margin may be negatively impacted by increased deposit competition or higher levels of cash and other short-term investments.
