Huntington Bancshares' Q2 profit falls on bigger rainy-day funds, lower interest income
July 19 (Reuters) -Huntington Bancshares HBAN.O on Friday reported a 15% fall in profit, as it set aside a bigger capital bufferto cover potential customer loan defaults and earned less interest income.
U.S. banks have been preparing for the possibility that higher interest rates and a broader economic slowdown will lead to customers missing payments on mortgages and credit card bills.
The provision for loan and lease losses at Huntington came in at $114 million in the quarter, up from $84 million, a year earlier.
Huntington maintained its previous annual forecast for net interest income, or the difference between what a bank earns on loans and pays out on deposits, at down 1% to 4% versus 2023 levels.
However, it expects interest income to improve sequentially in the second half of 2024 and next year.
Most U.S. banks expect an NII decline this year as elevated interest rates have stalled loan activity. At the same time, efforts to retain customers from chasing better returns elsewhere have pushed up deposit costs.
Huntington's NII fell 3% to $1.31 billion in the second quarter, while average total loans and leases increased 2% from the year-ago quarter.
"Credit quality continued to perform very well in the quarter," CEO Steve Steinour saidin a statement.
Net income attributable to Huntington fell to $474 million or 30 cents per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, compared with $559 million or 35 cents per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.
