CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Overview of Financial Results (continued)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 highlights:
•
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased from the prior-year quarter to $2.2 billion, reflecting:
◦
Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees increased to $1.3 billion in the current quarter primarily due to favorable markets, net new business, and favorable currency movement.
◦
Other Noninterest Income increased to $210.2 million in the current quarter primarily due to higher Foreign Exchange Trading Income and Securities Commissions and Trading Income mainly driven by higher volumes resulting from market volatility. Securities Commissions and Trading Income also increased from the prior-year due to growth in outsourced trading activity.
◦
Net Interest Income increased to $654.0 million in the current quarter primarily driven by higher deposit levels, partially offset by lower interest rates.
•
Noninterest Expense increased to $1.5 billion in the current quarter primarily due to higher Compensation and Benefits and Equipment and Software expense.
•
In the current quarter, there was a negative Provision for Credit Losses of $3.0 million, as compared to a Provision for Credit Losses of $1.0 million in the prior-year quarter. For additional information, refer to the Provision for Credit Losses within the “Consolidated Results of Operations” section.
Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees
Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees are based primarily on the market value of assets held in custody, managed or serviced; the volume of transactions; securities lending volume and spreads; and fees for other services rendered. Certain market value calculations on which fees are based are performed on a monthly or quarterly basis in arrears.
The components of Trust, Investment and Other Servicing Fees are provided below.

Asset Servicing
Custody and Fund Administration fees, the largest component of Asset Servicing fees, are driven primarily by values of client assets under custody/administration (AUC/A), transaction volumes and the number of accounts. The asset values used to calculate these fees vary depending on the individual fee arrangements negotiated with each client. Custody fees related to asset values are client-specific and are priced based on month-end market values, quarter-end market values, or the average of month-end market values for the quarter. The fund administration fees that are asset-value-related are priced using month-end, quarter-end, or average daily balances. Investment Management fees are based generally on market values of client AUM throughout the period. Typically, the asset values used to calculate fee revenue are based on a one-month or one-quarter lag. Securities Lending revenue is affected by market values; the demand for securities to be lent, which drives volumes; and the interest rate spread earned on the investment of cash deposited by investment firms as collateral for securities they have borrowed. The Other fee category in Asset Servicing includes products such as investment risk and analytical services, benefit payments, and other services. Revenue from these products is based generally on the volume of services provided or a fixed fee.
Custody and Fund Administration fees increased from the prior-year quarter primarily driven by favorable markets, favorable currency movements and net new business.
Investment Management fees increased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to favorable markets and net new business.

Beginning in Q1 2026, Treasury Management Fees are included within Other Operating Income. The prior period has been revised to conform to the current year presentation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Foreign Exchange Trading Income increased compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher volumes driven by market volatility.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Security Commissions and Trading Income increased compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher volumes due to market volatility and growth in outsourced trading activity.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 Other Operating Income increased compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to a market value increase in supplemental compensation plans and lower expense associated with the Visa Class B swaps.
Net Interest Income
Net Interest Income is defined as the total of Interest Income and amortized fees on earning assets, less Interest Expense on deposits and borrowed funds, adjusted for the impact of interest-related hedging activity. Earning assets—including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, Interest-Bearing Due From and Deposits with Banks, Federal Reserve and Other Central Bank Deposits, Securities, Loans, and Other Interest-Earning Assets—are financed by a large base of interest-bearing liabilities that include client deposits, short-term borrowings, Senior Notes and Long-Term Debt. Short-term borrowings include Federal Funds Purchased, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, and Other Borrowings. Earning assets are also funded by noninterest-bearing funds, which include demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. Net Interest Income is subject to variations in the level and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing funds and their relative sensitivity to interest rates. In addition, the levels of nonaccruing assets and client compensating deposit balances used to pay for services impact Net Interest Income.
Net interest margin is the difference between what we earn on our assets and what we pay for deposits and other sources of funding relative to average interest-earning assets. The direction and level of interest rates are important factors in our earnings. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized Net Interest Income by average interest-earning assets.
Net Interest Income stated on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure that facilitates the analysis of asset yields. Management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest margins 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. A reconciliation of Net Interest Income on a GAAP basis to Net Interest Income on an FTE basis is provided in “Reconciliation to Fully Taxable Equivalent” within this MD&A.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Net Interest Income (continued)
Net Interest Income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, stated on an FTE basis, increased from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by higher deposits, partially offset by lower interest rates
The net interest margin on an FTE basis increased from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by lower funding costs.
Interest-earning deposits includes Federal Reserve and Other Central Bank Deposits and Interest-Bearing Due from and Deposits with Banks. Interest-earning deposits increased 16%, from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by higher client deposits.
Average Securities increased 15% from the prior-year quarter, reflecting strategic purchases of investment securities with modest duration and higher client deposits. Average taxable Securities were $51.6 billion in the current quarter and $44.0 billion in the prior-year quarter. Average nontaxable Securities, which represent securities that are primarily exempt from U.S. federal and state income taxes, were $8.1 billion in the current quarter and $8.0 billion in the prior-year quarter. For additional discussion relating to the securities portfolio, refer to the “Asset Quality” section in this MD&A and to Note 4-Securities to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
Average Loans of $40.9 billion was relatively flat compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by a decrease in Subscription Finance loans, partially offset by an increase in Fund Finance loans. For additional discussion relating to the revised loan classes within the Commercial loan segment, refer to Note 5- Loans to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
Average Other Interest-Earning Assets includes collateral deposits with certain securities depositories and clearing houses, certain community development investments, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, a money market investment, and Federal Reserve stock of $1.9 billion, $1.0 billion, $342.7 million, $85.0 million, and $69.2 million, respectively, which are recorded in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Average Interest-Bearing Deposits increased 11% from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to increased liquidity and client activity as a result of market volatility, and growth across institutional and personal clients. Average Non-U.S. Offices Interest-Bearing Deposits comprised 68% and 65% of total average Interest-Bearing Deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Changes not due solely to average balance changes or rate changes are allocated proportionately to average balance and rate based on their relative absolute magnitudes.
(2)
Changes due to average balance and average rate include the impact of balance sheet netting as noted in Table 14: Average Consolidated Balance Sheets with Analysis of Net Interest Income. Excluding the impact of netting, the 2026 vs. 2025 change in Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell attributed to the average balance and the average rate would be $260.8 million and $(120.7) million, respectively. Excluding the impact of netting, the 2026 vs. 2025 change in Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase attributed to the average balance and the average rate would be $248.6 million and $(117.4) million, respectively.
Notes: Net Interest Income (FTE adjusted), a non-GAAP financial measure, includes adjustments to a fully taxable equivalent basis for Loans, Securities and Other Interest-Earning assets. The adjustments are based on a federal income tax rate of 21.0%, where the rate is adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of related federal tax benefit. See Table 14: Average Consolidated Balance Sheets with Analysis of Net Interest Income which reflects the applied FTE adjustment. A reconciliation of Net Interest Income and net interest margin on a GAAP basis to Net Interest Income and net interest margin on an FTE basis (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) is provided in “Reconciliation to Fully Taxable Equivalent” within this MD&A. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average interest-earning assets.
Interest revenue on cash collateral positions is reported above within Interest-Bearing Due from and Deposits with Banks, Loans and within Other Interest-Earning Assets. Interest expense on cash collateral positions is reported above within Savings, Money Market and Other and in Non-U.S. Offices Interest-Bearing Deposits. Related cash collateral received from and deposited with derivative counterparties is recorded net of the associated derivative contract in Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was a negative Provision for Credit Losses of $3.0 million, as compared to a Provision for Credit Losses of $1.0 million in the prior-year quarter. 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. 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.
Net charge-offs in the current quarter were $0.1 million, reflecting $0.4 million of charge-offs and $0.3 million of recoveries. The prior-year quarter included $0.2 million net recoveries, reflecting $0.5 million of recoveries and $0.3 million of charge-offs.
For additional discussion of the allowance for credit losses, refer to the “Asset Quality” section in this MD&A.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Compensation and Benefits expense, the largest component of Noninterest Expense, increased compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher annual base pay adjustments, higher incentives, an increase in pension expense, and unfavorable currency movement.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 Equipment and Software expense increased compared to the prior-year quarter
primarily due to higher software support expense and higher software amortization.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $175.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of 25.0%, compared to $129.4 million in the prior-year quarter, representing an effective tax rate of 24.8%.
REPORTING SEGMENTS
Northern Trust is organized around its two client-focused reporting segments: Asset Servicing and Wealth Management. Asset management and related services are provided to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management clients primarily by the Asset Management business. The revenue and expenses of Asset Management and certain other support functions are allocated fully to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management.
Reporting segment financial information, presented on an internal management-reporting basis, is determined by accounting systems used to allocate revenue and expense to each segment, and incorporates processes for allocating assets, liabilities, equity and the applicable interest income and expense utilizing an FTP methodology. Under the methodology, assets and liabilities receive a funding charge or credit that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics on an instrument level. Additionally, segment information is presented on an FTE basis as management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest income. Income before Income Taxes on an FTE basis is the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on Net Income.
Revenues, expenses and average assets are allocated to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management, with the exception of non-recurring activities such as certain corporate transactions and costs incurred associated with acquisitions, divestitures, litigation, restructuring, and tax adjustments not directly attributable to a specific reporting segment, which are reported within Other.
In addition to income and expenses associated with non-recurring activities, Other includes expenses for the Chief Operating Office, Asset Management, corporate and other support functions not directly incurred by, but ultimately allocated back to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management. Other also includes the FTE adjustments of $7.6 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in order to reconcile the segment results that are reported on an internal management-reporting basis into consolidated results.
Reporting segment results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a retrospective basis unless it is impractical to do so.
For further details, please refer to Note 9—Reporting Segments to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, HTM debt securities not rated by Moody’s, S&P Global or Fitch Ratings primarily consisted of certificates of deposit with a remaining life of less than one month, as well as investments purchased by Northern Trust to fulfill its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Northern Trust fulfills its obligations under the CRA by making qualified investments for purposes of supporting institutions and programs that benefit low-to-moderate income communities within Northern Trust’s market area.

Short-term borrowings includes Federal Funds Purchased, Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase, and Other Borrowings. These balances are primarily driven by sources of strategic funding needs. Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financings and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. To minimize potential credit risk associated with these transactions, the fair value of the securities purchased or sold is monitored, limits are set on exposure with counterparties, and the financial condition of counterparties is regularly assessed. It is Northern Trust’s policy to take possession, either directly or via third-party custodians, of securities purchased under agreements to resell. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are held by the counterparty until their repurchase.

ASSET QUALITY (continued)
Nonaccrual Loans and Other Real Estate Owned
Nonaccrual assets consist of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (OREO). OREO is comprised of commercial and residential properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of loans. There was no outstanding OREO as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
The following table provides the amounts of nonaccrual loans, by loan segment and class, that were outstanding at the dates shown, as well as the balance of loans that were delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Loans that are delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash collections, renegotiation and renewals.

Loan classes that do not have a non-accrual balance are excluded from the table.
Nonaccrual assets of $55.0 million as of March 31, 2026, were $21.7 million, or 28%, lower than December 31, 2025, primarily due to payoffs related to a small number of C&I and Residential Real Estate loans. In addition to the negative impact on Net Interest Income and the risk of credit losses, nonaccrual assets also increase operating costs due to the expense associated with collection efforts. Changes in the level of nonaccrual assets may be indicative of changes in the credit quality of one or more loan classes. Changes in credit quality impact the allowance for credit losses through the resultant adjustment of the allowance evaluated on an individual basis and the quantitative and qualitative factors used in the determination of the allowance evaluated on a collective basis within the allowance for credit losses.
Northern Trust’s credit policies do not allow for the origination of loan types generally considered to be high risk in nature, such as option adjustable rate mortgage loans, subprime loans, loans with initial “teaser” rates and loans with excessively high loan-to-value ratios. Residential real estate loans consist of first lien mortgages and equity credit lines, which generally require a loan-to-collateral value of no more than 65% to 80% at inception. Appraisals of supporting collateral for residential real estate loans are obtained at loan origination and upon refinancing or default or when otherwise considered warranted. Residential real estate collateral appraisals are performed and reviewed by independent third parties.
For additional information relating to the loans portfolio, refer to Note 5—Loans to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

ASSET QUALITY (continued)
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Allowance for Credit Losses—which represents management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses related to various portfolios subject to credit risk, off-balance-sheet credit exposure, and specific borrower relationships—is determined by management through a disciplined credit review process. Northern Trust measures expected credit losses of financial assets with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. A financial asset is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets and the related allowance is determined through an individual evaluation.
Management’s estimates utilized in establishing an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses are not dependent on any single assumption. In determining an appropriate allowance level, management evaluates numerous variables, many of which are interrelated or dependent on other assumptions and estimates, and takes into consideration past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The results of the credit reserve estimation methodology are reviewed quarterly by Northern Trust’s Credit Loss Reserve Committee and CFO, which receives input from Financial Risk Management, Treasury, Corporate Finance, the Economic Research Department, and each of Northern Trust’s reporting business units.
As of March 31, 2026, the Allowance for Credit Losses related to loans, undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit, HTM debt securities, and other financial assets, was $161.1 million, $25.5 million, $7.7 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses related to AFS debt securities as of March 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Allowance for Credit Losses related to loans, undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit, HTM debt securities, and other financial assets, was $164.3 million, $23.3 million, $9.3 million, and $1.4 million, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses related to AFS debt securities as of December 31, 2025. For additional information relating to the Allowance for Credit Losses and the changes in the Allowance for Credit Losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 due to charge-offs, recoveries and provisions for credit losses, refer to Note 6—Allowance for Credit Losses to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
As of January 1, 2026, Northern Trust refined the presentation of its commercial loan segment to enhance the alignment of segment reporting with business needs, risk characteristics, and management’s approach to monitoring and managing credit performance. As part of this refinement, Subscription Finance and Fund Finance were introduced as separate loan classes. Subscription Finance includes loans to private equity funds that are secured by investors’ contractual commitments to fund capital calls. Fund Finance includes loans and credit lines to all other collective investment funds and to investment managers primarily established for short-term liquidity needs. These borrowers generally maintain highly diversified portfolios of liquid securities. Prior period disclosures have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
The following table provides the allowance evaluated on an individual and collective basis for the loan portfolio by segment and class.

In managing its credit exposure, management has defined a commercial real estate loan as one where: (1) the borrower’s principal business activity is the acquisition or the development of real estate for commercial purposes; (2) the principal collateral is real estate held for commercial purposes, and loan repayment is expected to flow from the operation of the property; or (3) the loan repayment is expected to flow from the sale or refinance of real estate as a normal and ongoing part of the business. The commercial real estate portfolio consists of commercial mortgages and construction, acquisition and development loans extended primarily to experienced investors well known to Northern Trust.
Underwriting standards generally reflect conservative loan-to-collateral value (LTV) ratios and debt service coverage requirements. LTV ratios, calculated as the outstanding amount of the loan divided by the estimated value of the property, are a critical component of Northern Trust’s underwriting standards. Northern Trust utilizes LTV ratios in various stages of the lending and risk management process. Northern Trust’s policy related to LTV limits is more conservative than what is prescribed by current supervisory regulations. LTV ratios are monitored and updated on a quarterly basis utilizing the most recent outstanding amounts and appraisal values based on models, automated valuation services, or updated appraisals.
All commercial real estate transactions, regardless of size, require an independent appraisal at loan origination, unless permissible and approved regulatory exemptions can be applied. Real estate appraisals are, at a minimum, performed in accordance with generally accepted appraisal standards as applicable under local regulations. Northern Trust considers obtaining a new appraisal as part of the loan renewal process or whenever credit quality or market conditions have materially and adversely changed to the point where it is prudent to reassess the value of the real estate collateral. For defaulted loans, appraisals are updated on an, at least, annual basis. Appraisal values might be discounted based upon Northern Trust’s experience with actual liquidation values and management’s judgment as to the realizable value of the property.
For an overall discussion on the loan portfolio and on the allowance, refer to Note 5—Loans and Note 6—Allowance for Credit Losses to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (continued)
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities of $320.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to higher net collateral deposited with derivative counterparties, partially offset by period earnings and net changes in other operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $2.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to lower net collateral deposited with derivative counterparties and period earnings.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities of $3.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to decreased levels of Federal Reserve and other central bank deposits, partially offset by net purchases of AFS and HTM debt securities and a $4.6 billion receivable for cash not received as expected on executed repurchase agreements. Refer to Note 22- Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase to the consolidated financial statements provided in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
Net cash used in investing activities of $10.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to increased levels of Federal Reserve and other central bank deposits and net purchases of AFS debt securities, partially offset by lower levels of loans and net proceeds associated with HTM debt securities.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $3.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to the decreased levels of total deposits, repayments of long-term debt, and treasury share purchases.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $6.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025
was primarily attributable to the increased levels of total deposits, partially offset by treasury share purchases.
REGULATORY CAPITAL
Capital ratios remained strong at March 31, 2026, exceeding the requirements for classification as “well-capitalized” under applicable U.S. regulatory requirements.
Northern Trust is a Category II institution as defined by the Federal Reserve Board which requires us to adhere to regulatory capital standards. In adhering to these standards, Northern Trust engages in a range of reporting and activities with regulators to affirm our financial strength and stability, including but not limited to, capital adequacy reporting that deducts any unrealized losses related to AFS securities from reported capital, and stringent, annual company-run and supervisory stress testing in the form of CCAR exercises, which confirms our ability to remain solvent under severely adverse market conditions.
The results of the 2025 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST), published by the Federal Reserve Board on June 27, 2025, resulted in Northern Trust’s stress capital buffer and effective Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio minimum requirement remaining constant at 2.5% and 7.0%, respectively, for the annual capital plan cycle beginning on October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. On February 4, 2026, the Federal Reserve notified the Corporation that because the Stress Testing Transparency Proposal remains subject to public comment, absent further action from the Federal Reserve, the Corporation’s stress capital buffer requirement will remain at 2.5% until September 30, 2027.
In March 2026, the U.S. banking agencies issued a revised proposal, which is currently out for comment, to implement the final components of the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The revised proposal would eliminate the existing standardized and advanced approach methodologies for determining Risk-Weighted Assets for Category I and Category II institutions and replace it with a new expanded risk based approach. Based upon a preliminary assessment, Northern Trust estimates the proposal will result in a modest decrease in Risk-Weighted Assets. However, the potential impacts on the Corporation and the Bank of a final rule and the timing associated with it remain uncertain.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (ASU 2024-03). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosures in tabular format for specific income statement expense categories as well as a narrative disclosure about selling expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 do not change or remove existing income statement presentation or disclosure requirements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the impact of ASU 2024-03 will be limited to certain enhancements within the notes to the consolidated financial statements and therefore is not expected to have an impact on Northern Trust’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of income.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (ASU 2025-06). ASU 2025-06 changes the cost capitalization threshold by removing the accounting consideration given to software project development stages and replaces it with the following criteria that must be met for entities to begin capitalizing software costs: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (2) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software used to perform its intended function (referred to as the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold). In addition, ASU 2025-06 specifies that entities must apply the disclosure requirements in ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment—Overall to capitalized internal-use software and related amortization, regardless of how the internal-use software is classified on the balance sheet. ASU 2025-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted. Northern Trust is currently assessing the impacts upon adoption of ASU 2025-06.
Other accounting pronouncements that were issued by the FASB but not yet adopted as of March 31, 2026 are not expected to have a material impact on Northern Trust’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of income upon adoption.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to raise sufficient funds or maintain collateral to meet balance sheet and contingent liability cash flow obligations when due, because of firm-specific or market-wide stress events. Northern Trust is a Category II institution as defined by the Federal Reserve Board which requires us to adhere to the same regulatory liquidity standards as U.S. global systemically important bank holding companies (GSIBs). In adhering to these standards, Northern Trust engages in a range of reporting and other activities with regulators to affirm our financial strength and stability, including but not limited to, daily LCR and Net Stable Funding Ratio calculations to regulators.
We maintain a highly liquid balance sheet consisting principally of cash and due from banks, deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks, short-term money market assets, and investment securities, which were 62% and 66% of total assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The majority of Northern Trust’s securities portfolio is composed of highly liquid securities including U.S. Treasury, non-U.S. government, and government sponsored agency securities.
Market Risk
There are two types of market risk, interest rate risk associated with the banking book and trading risk. Interest rate risk associated with the banking book is the potential for movements in interest rates to cause changes in Net Interest Income and the market value of equity, including AOCI from the AFS debt securities portfolio. Trading risk is the potential for movements in market variables such as foreign exchange and interest rates to cause changes in the value of trading positions.
Northern Trust uses two primary measurement techniques to manage interest rate risk: NII sensitivity and MVE sensitivity. NII sensitivity provides management with a short-term view of the impact of interest rate changes on NII. MVE sensitivity provides management with a long-term view of interest rate changes on MVE based on the period-end balance sheet. Higher interest rates may impact the fair value of AFS debt securities which in turn affects AOCI, which can impact regulatory capital ratios.
As part of its risk management activities, Northern Trust also measures daily the risk of loss associated with all trading book positions using a VaR model and applying the historical simulation methodology. The following information about Northern Trust’s management of market risk should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
NII Sensitivity
— The modeling of NII sensitivity incorporates on-balance-sheet positions, as well as derivative financial instruments (principally interest rate swaps) that are used to manage interest rate risk. Northern Trust uses market implied forward interest rates as the base case and measures the sensitivity (i.e., change) of a static balance sheet to changes in interest rates. Stress testing of interest rates is performed to include such scenarios as immediate parallel shocks to rates, nonparallel (i.e., twist) changes to yield curves that result in their becoming steeper or flatter, and changes to the relationship among the yield curves (i.e., basis risk).
23
RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Market Risk (continued)
The NII sensitivity analysis incorporates certain critical assumptions such as interest rates and client behaviors under changing rate environments. These assumptions are based on a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. The simulation cannot precisely estimate NII sensitivity given uncertainty in the assumptions. The following key assumptions are incorporated into the simulation:
▪
the balance sheet size and mix remains constant over the simulation horizon with maturing assets and liabilities replaced with instruments with similar terms as those that are maturing, with the exception of certain nonmaturity deposits that are considered short-term in nature and therefore receive a more conservative interest-bearing treatment;
▪
prepayments on mortgage loans and securities collateralized by mortgages are projected under each rate scenario using a third-party mortgage analytics system that incorporates market prepayment assumptions;
▪

The following table shows the estimated NII impact over the next twelve months of 100 and 200 basis point ramps upward and downward in interest rates relative to forward rates as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. Each rate movement is assumed to occur gradually over a one-year period.

The NII sensitivity analysis does not incorporate certain management actions that may be used to mitigate adverse effects of actual interest rate movement. For that reason and others, the estimated impacts do not reflect the likely actual results but serve as estimates of interest rate risk. NII sensitivity is not comparable to actual results disclosed elsewhere or directly predictive of future values of other measures provided.
MVE Sensitivity
— MVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities, net of the value of financial derivatives that are used to manage the interest rate risk of balance sheet items. The MVE looks at the whole balance sheet, which includes AFS debt securities, HTM debt securities, money market accounts, deposits, loans and wholesale borrowings. The potential effect of interest rate changes on MVE is derived from the impact of such changes on projected future cash flows and the present value of these cash flows and is then compared to the established limit. Northern Trust uses current market rates (and the future rates implied by these market rates) as the base case and measures MVE sensitivity under various rate scenarios. Stress testing of interest rates is performed to include such scenarios as immediate parallel shocks to rates, nonparallel (i.e., twist) changes to yield curves that result in their becoming steeper or flatter, and changes to the relationship among the yield curves (i.e., basis risk).
The MVE sensitivity analysis incorporates certain critical assumptions such as interest rates and client behaviors under changing rate environments. These assumptions are based on a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. The simulation cannot precisely estimate MVE sensitivity given uncertainty in the assumptions. Many of the assumptions that apply to NII sensitivity also apply to MVE sensitivity simulations, with the following separate key assumptions incorporated into the MVE simulation:
▪
the present value of nonmaturity deposits is estimated using dynamic decay methodologies or estimated remaining lives, which are based on a combination of Northern Trust’s actual historical runoff patterns and management judgment—some balances are assumed to be core and have longer lives while other balances are assumed to be temporary and have comparatively shorter lives;
▪
the present values of most noninterest-bearing balances (such as receivables, equipment, and payables) are the same as their book values; and
▪
Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate forward interest rate paths.

The MVE simulations do not incorporate certain management actions that may be used to mitigate adverse effects of actual interest rate movements. For that reason and others, the estimated impacts do not reflect the likely actual results but serve as estimates of interest rate risk. MVE sensitivity is not comparable to actual results disclosed elsewhere or directly predictive of future values of other measures provided.
Value-At-Risk (VaR)
— Northern Trust measures daily the risk of loss associated with trading positions using a VaR model and applying the historical simulation methodology. This statistical model provides estimates, based on high confidence levels, of the potential loss in value that might be incurred if an adverse shift in foreign exchange rates and interest rates were to occur over a small number of days. The model incorporates foreign currency and interest rate volatilities and correlations in price movements among the currencies and interest rates. VaR is computed for each trading desk and for the global portfolio.
Northern Trust monitors several variations of the VaR measures to meet specific regulatory and internal management needs. Variations include different methodologies (historical simulation, Monte Carlo simulation and Taylor approximation), horizons of one day and ten days, confidence levels of 95% and 99%, subcomponent VaRs using only foreign exchange (FX) drivers, only interest rate (IR) drivers, and only volatility drivers, and look-back periods of one year, two years, and four years. Those alternative measures provide management an array of corroborating metrics and alternative perspectives on Northern Trust’s market risks.
The following table presents the levels of total regulatory VaR and its subcomponents, covering global foreign exchange (GFX), foreign currency balances, and interest rate derivatives combined, in the periods indicated below, based on the historical simulation methodology, a 99% confidence level, a one-day horizon and equally weighted volatility. The total VaR is typically less than the sum of its three subcomponents due to diversification benefits derived from interactions among the three drivers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Northern Trust did not incur an actual GFX trading loss in excess of the daily GFX VaR estimate.
Foreign currency balances arise not from executing trades but rather in the course of regular business operations, namely from non-U.S.-dollar-denominated revenues and expenses accruing onto the Corporation’s balance sheet.

RECONCILIATION TO FULLY TAXABLE EQUIVALENT
The following table presents a reconciliation of Interest Income, Net Interest Income, Net Interest Margin, and Total Revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP to such measures on an FTE basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Net Interest Margin is calculated by dividing annualized Net Interest Income by average interest-earning assets. Management believes this presentation 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 –
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Trust Corporation (Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Northern Trust Company (Bank), and various other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation and Bank. Throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the term “Northern Trust” refers to the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements, as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, have not been audited by the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all accounting entries and adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. The accounting and financial reporting policies of Northern Trust conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and reporting practices prescribed for the banking industry.
For a description of Northern Trust’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Note 2 –
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2026, Northern Trust early adopted ASU No. 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” (ASU 2025-09). ASU 2025-09 enhances hedge accounting guidance to better align accounting with an entity’s risk management activities by expanding eligibility and operability of hedge accounting across five targeted areas. Upon adoption, ASU 2025-09 did not impact Northern Trust’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of income. Please refer to Note 21 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further information.
Note 3 –
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy.
The following describes the hierarchy of valuation inputs (Levels 1, 2, and 3) used to measure fair value and the primary valuation methodologies used by Northern Trust for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity; unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about how market participants would value an asset or liability based on the best information available. GAAP requires an entity measuring fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and establishes a fair value hierarchy of inputs. Financial instruments are categorized within the hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to their valuation. No transfers into or out of Level 3 occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025.
Level 1
—
Quoted, active market prices for identical assets or liabilities.
Northern Trust’s Level 1 assets are comprised primarily of AFS investments in U.S. Treasury securities.
Level 2
—
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted active market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Northern Trust’s Level 2 assets include AFS debt securities, the fair values of which are determined predominantly by external pricing vendors. Prices received from vendors are compared to other vendor and third-party prices. If a security price obtained from a pricing vendor is determined to exceed predetermined tolerance levels that are assigned based on an asset type’s characteristics, the exception is researched and, if the price is not able to be validated, an alternate pricing vendor is utilized, consistent with Northern Trust’s pricing source hierarchy. As of March 31, 2026, Northern Trust’s AFS debt securities portfolio included
1,057
Level 2 debt securities with an aggregate market value of $
28.9
billion, all valued by external pricing vendors. As of December 31, 2025, Northern Trust’s AFS debt securities portfolio included
1,003
Level 2 debt securities with an aggregate market value of $
25.9
billion, substantially all valued by external pricing vendors.
Level 2 assets and liabilities also include derivative contracts which are valued internally using widely accepted income-based models that incorporate inputs readily observable in actively quoted markets and reflect the contractual terms of the contracts. Observable inputs include foreign exchange rates and interest rates for foreign exchange contracts; interest rates for interest rate swap contracts and forward contracts; and interest rates and volatility inputs for interest rate option contracts. Northern Trust evaluates the impact of counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk on the valuation of its derivative instruments. Factors considered include the likelihood of default by Northern Trust and its counterparties, the remaining maturities of the instruments, net exposures after giving effect to master netting arrangements or similar agreements, available collateral, and other credit enhancements in determining the appropriate fair value of derivative instruments. The resulting valuation adjustments have not been considered material.
33
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Level 3
— Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace.
Northern Trust’s Level 3 liabilities consist of swaps that Northern Trust entered into in connection with the sales of Visa Class B common shares previously held by Northern Trust. Pursuant to the swaps, Northern Trust retains the risks associated with the ultimate conversion of the Visa Class B common shares into Visa Class A common shares, such that the counterparty will be compensated for any dilutive adjustments to the conversion ratio and Northern Trust will be compensated for any anti-dilutive adjustments to the ratio. The swaps also require periodic payments from Northern Trust to the counterparty calculated by reference to the market price of Visa Class A common shares and a fixed rate of interest. The fair value of the swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement are Northern Trust’s own assumptions about estimated changes in the conversion rate of the Visa Class B common shares into Visa Class A common shares, the date on which such conversion is expected to occur and the estimated appreciation of the Visa Class A common share price. See “Visa Class B Common Shares and Makewhole Agreement” under Note 20—Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for further information.
Northern Trust believes its valuation methods for its assets and liabilities carried at fair value are appropriate; however, the use of different methodologies or assumptions, particularly as applied to Level 3 assets and liabilities, could have a material effect on the computation of their estimated fair values.
The following table presents the fair values of Northern Trust’s Level 3 liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, as well as the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs, and quantitative information used to develop significant unobservable inputs for such liabilities as of such dates.

Losses are recorded in Other Operating Income on the consolidated statements of income.
Carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis may be adjusted to fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition, for example, to record an impairment of an asset. GAAP requires entities to separately disclose these subsequent fair value measurements and to classify them under the fair value hierarchy.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of which were categorized as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy, were comprised of nonaccrual loans whose values were based on real estate collateral.
36
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Fair values of real estate loan collateral were estimated using a market approach typically supported by third-party valuations and property-specific fees and taxes. The fair values of real estate loan collateral were subject to adjustments to reflect management’s judgment as to realizable value and consisted of a discount factor of
25
% with a weighted average based on fair values of
25.0
%, and a discount factor of
40.0
% with a weighted average based on fair values of
40.0
%, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Other loan collateral, which typically consists of accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, is valued using a market approach adjusted for asset-specific characteristics and in limited instances third-party valuations are used. OREO assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell, with fair value typically based on third-party appraisals. There was no outstanding OREO as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Collateral-dependent nonaccrual loans that have been adjusted to fair value totaled $
1.3
million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The following table presents the fair values of Northern Trust’s Level 3 assets that were adjusted to fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, as well as the valuation technique, significant unobservable inputs and quantitative information used to develop the significant unobservable inputs for such assets as of such dates.

Credit Quality.
AFS debt securities impairment reviews are conducted quarterly to identify and evaluate securities that have indications of possible credit losses. A determination as to whether a security’s decline in market value is related to credit impairment takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can vary by security. Factors Northern Trust considers in determining whether impairment is credit-related include, but are not limited to, the severity of the impairment; the cause of the impairment; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; activity in the market of the issuer, which may indicate adverse credit conditions; Northern Trust’s intent regarding the sale of the security as of the balance sheet date; and the likelihood that Northern Trust will not be required to sell the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. For each security meeting the requirements of Northern Trust’s internal screening process, an extensive review is conducted to determine if a credit loss has occurred.
41
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
There was
no
provision for credit losses for AFS securities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and a negative $
0.2
million provision for credit losses for AFS securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025. There was
no
allowance for credit losses for AFS securities as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The process for identifying credit losses for AFS securities is based on the best estimate of cash flows to be collected from the security, discounted using the security’s effective interest rate. If the present value of the expected cash flows is found to be less than the current amortized cost of the security, an allowance for credit losses is generally recorded equal to the difference between the two amounts, limited to the amount the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value of the security. For additional information, please refer to Note 6, “Allowance for Credit Losses.”
The following table provides information regarding AFS debt securities with no credit losses reported that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and for twelve months or longer as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

As of January 1, 2026, Northern Trust refined the presentation of its commercial loan segment to enhance the alignment of segment reporting with business needs, risk characteristics, and management’s approach to monitoring and managing credit performance. As part of this refinement, Subscription Finance and Fund Finance were introduced as separate loan classes. Subscription Finance includes loans to private equity funds that are secured by investors’ contractual commitments to fund capital calls. Fund Finance includes loans and credit lines to all other collective investment funds and to investment managers primarily established for short-term liquidity needs. Fund Finance borrowers generally maintain highly diversified portfolios of liquid securities. Prior period disclosures have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
Residential real estate loans consist of traditional first lien mortgages and equity credit lines that generally require a loan-to-collateral value of
65
% to
80
% at inception. Northern Trust’s equity credit line products generally have draw periods of up to
10
years and a balloon payment of any outstanding balance due at maturity. Payments are interest-only with variable interest rates. Northern Trust does not offer equity credit lines that include an option to convert the outstanding balance to an amortizing payment loan. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, equity credit lines totaled $
273.4
million and $
294.0
million, respectively, and equity credit lines for which first liens were held by Northern Trust represented
98
% and
96
% of the total equity credit lines, respectively.
Short term advances, primarily related to the processing of custodied client investments, totaled $
4.4
billion and $
4.5
billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances, primarily in the other personal class, totaled $
5.8
million and $
12.0
million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Loans classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. There were $
10.0
million and $
6.8
million in loans classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Loans sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $
22.9
million. There were
no
loans sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Credit quality indicators are statistics, measurements or other metrics that provide information regarding the relative credit risk of loans. Northern Trust uses a variety of credit quality indicators to assess the credit risk of loans at the segment, class, and individual credit exposure levels.
As part of its credit process, Northern Trust utilizes an internal borrower risk rating system to support identification, approval, and monitoring of credit risk. Borrower risk ratings are used in credit underwriting and management reporting. Risk ratings are used for ranking the credit risk of borrowers and their PD. Each borrower is rated using one of a number of ratings models or subjective assessment tools, which consider both quantitative and qualitative factors. The ratings models vary among classes of loans in order to capture the unique risk characteristics inherent within each particular type of credit exposure. Provided below are the more significant performance indicator attributes considered within Northern Trust’s borrower ratings models, by loan class:
•
Commercial and Institutional: cash flow leverage, profit margin, liquidity, balance sheet leverage;
•
Commercial Real Estate: debt service coverage, collateral coverage, debt yield, leasing status, guarantor support;
•
Subscription Finance: leverage, return volatility, liquidity, asset quality, and capital levels;
•
Fund Finance: leverage, return volatility, liquidity, asset quality, and capital levels;
•
Commercial - Other: cash flow leverage, profit margin, liquidity, balance sheet leverage, type of collateral, and collateral coverage;
•
Residential Real Estate: payment history, credit bureau scores, collateral coverage;
•
Private Client: cash-flow-to-debt and net worth ratios, leverage, type of collateral, collateral coverage; and
•
Personal - Other: debt to income metrics, income amounts, sources of income, type of collateral, collateral coverage.
While the criteria vary by model, the objective is for the borrower ratings to be consistent in both the measurement and ranking of risk. Each model is calibrated to a master rating scale to support this consistency. Ratings for borrowers not in default range from “1” for the strongest credits to “7” for the weakest non-defaulted credits. Ratings of “8” or “9” are used for defaulted borrowers. Borrower risk ratings are monitored and are revised when events or circumstances indicate a change is required. Risk ratings are generally validated at least annually.
Loan segment and class balances as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are provided in the following table, segregated by borrower ratings into “1 to 3,” “4 to 5” and “6 to 9” (watch list, including accrual and nonaccrual status) categories by year of origination at amortized cost basis. Loans that are held for investment are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income.

Northern Trust may provide payment relief by modifying the terms of the original loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty involve primarily extension of term, deferrals of principal and interest, interest rate concessions, and other modifications or a combination thereof, and totaled $
7.7
million and $
13.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2026
and
March 31, 2025, respectively. Northern Trust considers payment deferrals of less than 90 days as insignificant, absent any material modifications to other loan terms.
48
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
The effectiveness of Northern Trust’s modification efforts is measured by the loans’ respective past-due status under the modified terms as of the end of the period. As of March 31, 2026, of loans that were modified in the previous 12 months, there were
no
loans 30-89 days past due and $
19.0
million past due 90 days or more. As of March 31, 2025, there were
no
loans that were past due and modified in the previous 12 months. All modification to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty continue to be reported as non-accrual loans until the requirements for returning to performing status are met. There were
no
charge-offs related to modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that had been modified in the last 12 month for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
There were no undrawn loan commitments or standby letters of credit issued to financially distressed borrowers for which Northern Trust has modified the payment terms of the loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Note 6 –
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses.
The allowance for credit losses—which represents management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses related to various financial assets subject to credit risk, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and specific borrower relationships—is determined by management through a disciplined credit review process. Northern Trust measures expected credit losses of financial assets with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis. A financial asset is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets and the related allowance is determined through an individual evaluation.
Management’s estimates utilized in establishing an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses are not dependent on any single assumption. In determining an appropriate allowance level, management evaluates numerous variables and takes into consideration past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Northern Trust employs multiple scenarios over a reasonable and supportable period (currently
two years
) to project future conditions. Key variables determined to be relevant for projecting credit losses on the portfolios in scope include macroeconomic factors, such as GDP growth, unemployment, non-farm employment, corporate profits, consumer spending, personal income, commercial real estate prices, housing price index, credit spreads, and market volatility. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable period, Northern Trust reverts to its own historical loss experiences on a straight-line basis over four quarters. While the primary forecast reflects expectations of stable growth, stabilizing interest rates, and modest labor market improvement, management recognizes that current global conditions are subject to elevated uncertainty. Recognizing the uncertainty in the primary forecast, an alternative scenario is also considered, which reflects a recession that incorporates the experiences of a wider set of historical economic cycles.
The results of the credit reserve estimation methodology are reviewed quarterly by Northern Trust’s Credit Loss Reserve Committee, which receives input from Financial Risk Management, Treasury, Corporate Finance, the Economic Research Department, and each of Northern Trust’s reporting business units. The Credit Loss Reserve Committee determines the probability weights applied to each forecast approved by Northern Trust’s MSDC, and also reviews and approves qualitative adjustments to the collective allowance in line with Northern Trust’s qualitative adjustment framework.
As of March 31, 2026, qualitative adjustments continued to reflect the potential for higher‑than‑anticipated losses on large individual exposures, the possible impact of climate‑related risks on CRE property values, and macroeconomic uncertainty. Overall, the qualitative component of the allowance remained stable as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025.
Northern Trust estimates expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial assets adjusted for prepayments, unless prepayments are not relevant to specific portfolios or sub-portfolios. Extension and renewal options are typically not considered since it is not Northern Trust’s practice to enter into arrangements where the borrower has the unconditional option to renew, or a conditional extension option whereby the conditions are beyond Northern Trust’s control.
The Provision for Credit Losses on the consolidated statements of income represents the change in the Allowance for Credit Losses, after consideration of charge-offs and recoveries, on the consolidated balance sheets and is the charge to current period earnings. It represents the amount needed to maintain the Allowance for Credit Losses on the consolidated balance sheets at an appropriate level to absorb lifetime expected credit losses related to financial assets in scope. Actual losses may vary from current estimates and the amount of the Provision for Credit Losses may be either greater or less than actual net charge-offs.

s.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there was a negative Provision for Credit Losses of $
3.0
million as compared to a provision of $
1.2
million in the prior-year quarter, excluding the provision for AFS debt securities. The negative provision in the current quarter primarily reflected a decrease in the collective reserve, partially offset by an increase in individual reserves. The reduction in the collective reserve was driven primarily by improved credit quality in the C&I portfolio, partially offset by increased macroeconomic uncertainty. The increase in individual reserves was attributable to a small number of non-performing loans.
The portion of the allowance assigned to loans, HTM debt securities, and other financial assets is presented as a contra asset in Allowance for Credit Losses on the consolidated balance sheets. The portion of the allowance assigned to undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit is reported in Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Allowance Related to Credit Exposure Evaluated on a Collective Basis.
Expected credit losses are measured on a collective basis as long as the financial assets included in the respective pool share similar risk characteristics. If financial assets are deemed to not share similar risk characteristics, an individual assessment is warranted.
The allowance estimation methodology for the collective assessment is based on data representative of the Corporation’s financial asset portfolio from a historical observation period that includes both expansionary and recessionary periods. The estimation methodology and the related qualitative adjustment framework segregate the loan portfolio into segments and classes based on similar risk characteristics or risk monitoring methods.
Northern Trust utilizes a quantitative PD/LGD approach for the calculation of its credit allowance on a collective basis. For each of the different parameters, specific credit models or qualitative estimation methodologies for the individual loan classes were developed. For each class, PD and LGD are applied to the exposure at default for each projected quarter to determine the quantitative component of the allowance. The quantitative allowance is then reviewed within a comprehensive qualitative adjustment framework, through which management applies judgment by assessing internal risk factors, potential limitations in the quantitative methodology, and other factors that are not fully contemplated in the forecast to compute an adjustment to the quantitative allowance for each segment and class of the loan portfolio.
Allowance Related to Credit Exposure Evaluated on an Individual Basis.
The individual allowance is determined through individual evaluations of loans and lending-related commitments that have defaulted, generally those with borrower ratings of 8 and 9. These evaluations are based on expected future cash flows, the value of collateral, and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. If the loan valuation is less than the recorded value of the loan, either an allowance is established or a charge-off is recorded for the difference. For defaulted loans for which the amount of allowance, if any, is determined based on the value of the underlying real estate collateral, third-party appraisals are typically obtained and utilized by management. These appraisals are generally less than twelve months old and are subject to adjustments to reflect management’s judgment as to the realizable value of the collateral.

Northern Trust analyzes its exposure to credit losses from both on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet activity using a consistent methodology for the quantitative as well as the qualitative framework. For purposes of estimating the allowance for credit losses for undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit, the exposure at default includes estimated draw downs of the undrawn commitments based on credit utilization factors, resulting in a proportionate amount of expected credit losses.

The allowance for Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions is related to (non pre-refunded) municipal securities that do not fall under Northern Trust’s zero-loss assumption.
HTM debt securities classified as U.S. government, government sponsored agency, and certain securities classified as obligations of states and political subdivisions are considered to be guarantees of the U.S. government or an agency of the U.S. government and, therefore, an allowance for credit losses is not estimated for such investments as the expected probability of non-payment of the amortized cost basis is zero.
HTM debt securities classified as “other” relate to investments purchased by Northern Trust to fulfill its obligations under the CRA. Northern Trust fulfills its obligations under the CRA by making qualified investments for purposes of supporting institutions and programs that benefit low-to-moderate income communities within Northern Trust’s market area. The allowance for CRA investments is assessed using a qualitative estimation approach primarily based on internal historical performance experience and default history of the underlying CRA loans to determine the quantitative allowance.
The allowance estimation methodology for all other HTM debt securities is developed using a combination of external and internal data. The estimation methodology groups securities with shared characteristics for which the PD and the LGD are applied to the total exposure at default to determine the quantitative component of the allowance.
Allowance for Other Financial Assets.
The allowance for Other Financial Assets consists of the allowance for Due from Banks, Other Central Bank Deposits, Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks, and Other Assets.
The Other Assets category includes other miscellaneous credit exposures reported in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance estimation methodology for Other Financial Assets primarily utilizes a similar approach as the one used for the HTM debt securities portfolio. It consists of a combination of externally and internally developed loss data, adjusted for the appropriate contractual term. Northern Trust’s portfolio of Other Financial Assets is composed mostly of institutions within the “1 to 3” internal borrower rating category and is expected to exhibit minimal to modest likelihood of loss. The Allowance for Credit Losses related to Other Financial Assets was $
0.9
million and $
1.4
million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Accrued Interest.
Accrued interest balances are reported within Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Northern Trust elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables related to its loan and securities portfolio as its policy is to write-off uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances in a timely manner. Accrued interest is written off by reversing interest income during the period the financial asset is moved from an accrual to a nonaccrual status.
The following table provides the amount of accrued interest excluded from the amortized cost basis of the following portfolios.

Note 9 –
Reporting Segments
Northern Trust is organized around its
two
client-focused reporting segments: Asset Servicing and Wealth Management. Asset management and related services are provided to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management clients primarily by the Asset Management business. The revenue and expenses of Asset Management and certain other support functions are allocated fully to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management.
Reporting segment financial information, presented on an internal management-reporting basis, is determined by accounting systems used to allocate revenue and expense to each segment, and incorporates processes for allocating assets, liabilities, equity and the applicable interest income and expense utilizing an FTP methodology. Under the methodology, assets and liabilities receive a funding charge or credit that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics on an instrument level. Additionally, segment information is presented on an FTE basis as management believes an FTE presentation provides a clearer indication of net interest income. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on Net Income.
Revenues, expenses and average assets are allocated to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management, with the exception of non-recurring activities such as certain corporate transactions and costs incurred associated with acquisitions, divestitures, litigation, restructuring, and tax adjustments not directly attributable to a specific reporting segment, which are reported within Other.
In addition to income and expenses associated with non-recurring activities, Other includes expenses for the Enterprise Chief Operating Office, Asset Management, corporate and other support functions not directly incurred by, but ultimately allocated back to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management. Other also includes the FTE adjustments of $
7.6
million and $
5.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in order to reconcile the segment results that are reported on an internal management-reporting basis into consolidated results.
Reporting segment results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a retrospective basis unless it is impractical to do so.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Northern Trust’s Chief Operating Decision Maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Operating Decision Maker uses growth and profitability metrics to assess segments’ performance including segment revenue and income before income taxes. Those same measures are used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker as primary inputs into the allocation of resources in the annual planning process. Allocation of capital to each segment takes into consideration a variety of factors including average loans, average deposits and applicable regulatory capital requirements.

The pre-tax reclassification adjustment is related to the unrealized gains (losses) amortization on AFS debt securities that were previously transferred to HTM debt securities. Upon transfer of a debt security from the AFS to HTM classification, the amortized cost is reset to fair value. Any net unrealized gain or loss at the date of transfer will remain in AOCI and be amortized into Net Interest Income over the remaining life of the securities using the effective interest method. The amortization of amounts retained in AOCI will offset the effect on interest income of the amortization of the premium or discount resulting from transferring the securities at fair value.
(2)
See Note 21, "Derivative Financial Instruments" for the location of the reclassification adjustment related to cash flow hedges.
(3)
The pension and other postretirement benefit pre-tax reclassification adjustment is recorded in Compensation and Benefits expense on the consolidated statements of income.

Revenue from Contracts with Clients
Trust, Investment, and Other Servicing Fees.
Custody and Fund Administration income is comprised of revenues received from our core asset servicing business for providing custody, fund administration, and middle-office-related services, primarily to Asset Servicing clients. Investment Management and Advisory income contains revenue received from providing asset management and related services to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management clients and to Northern Trust sponsored funds. Securities Lending income represents revenues generated from securities lending arrangements that Northern Trust enters into as agent, mainly with Asset Servicing clients. Other income largely consists of revenues received from providing employee benefit, investment risk and analytic and other services to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management clients.
Other Noninterest Income.
The portion of Security Commissions and Trading Income that relates to revenue from contracts with clients is primarily comprised of commissions earned from providing securities brokerage services to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management clients. The portion of Other Operating Income attributable to revenue from contracts with clients primarily consists of service fees for banking‑related services provided to Wealth Management and Asset Servicing clients. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, treasury management fees—representing revenues from cash and liquidity management services provided to Asset Servicing and Wealth Management clients—were reclassified and included within Other Operating Income.
Performance Obligations.
Clients are typically charged monthly or quarterly in arrears based on the fee arrangement agreed to with each client; payment terms will vary depending on the client and services offered.
Substantially all revenues generated from contracts with clients for asset servicing, asset management, securities lending, banking-related services, and treasury management are recognized on an accrual basis, over the period in which services are provided. The nature of Northern Trust’s performance obligations is to provide a series of distinct services in which the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the promised services as they are performed. Fee arrangements are mainly comprised of variable amounts based on market value of client assets managed and serviced, transaction volumes, number of accounts, and securities lending volume and spreads. Revenue is recognized using the output method in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Northern Trust expects to be entitled in exchange for providing each month or quarter of service. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on the price agreed to with the client, representing its relative standalone selling price.
Security brokerage revenue is primarily represented by securities commissions received in exchange for providing trade execution related services. Control is transferred at a point in time, on the trade date of the transaction, and fees are typically variable based on transaction volumes and security types.
Northern Trust’s contracts with its clients are typically open-ended arrangements and are therefore considered to have an original duration of less than one year. Northern Trust has elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
The following table presents revenues disaggregated by major revenue source.

Variable Interest Entities
Northern Trust is involved with various entities in the normal course of business that are deemed to be variable interest entities (VIEs). VIEs are defined within GAAP as entities which either (1) lack sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) have equity investors that lack attributes typical of an equity investor, such as the ability to make significant decisions through voting rights affecting the entity’s operations, or the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive residual returns of the entity, or (3) are structured with voting rights that are disproportionate to the equity investor’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive returns, and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the holder of the equity investment at risk with disproportionately few voting rights. Investors that finance a VIE through debt or equity interests are variable interest holders in the entity and the variable interest holder, if any, that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and, through its variable interest, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could potentially be significant to the entity is deemed to be the VIE’s primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE.
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Investments.
Northern Trust fulfills its obligations under the CRA by making a variety of qualified investments for purposes of supporting institutions and programs that benefit low-to-moderate income communities within Northern Trust’s market area. These investments are made in legal entities that are primarily VIEs and consist of equity in limited partnerships and beneficial interests in securitized debt. Based on its analysis, Northern Trust has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under GAAP and therefore they are not consolidated.
Northern Trust’s investments in these unconsolidated entities are reported in Other Assets or HTM Debt Securities, depending on the structure of the investment.
Tax credit structures.
Northern Trust holds tax-advantaged investments in unconsolidated entities that own and operate affordable housing and projects through the new markets tax credit program. These entities, which are limited partnerships and similar entities, are primarily VIEs and are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of tax credits and other tax benefits, such as tax deductions from operating losses of the investments. Northern Trust invests as a limited partner/investor member and lacks both the power to direct the entities’ most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities. Northern Trust is not required to consolidate these entities as it does not have a controlling financial interest and thus is not the primary beneficiary.
Northern Trust’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with tax credit structures and other CRA investments is limited to the carrying amounts of its investments, including any undrawn commitments. Northern Trust’s funding requirements are limited to its invested capital and undrawn commitments for future equity contributions. Northern Trust has no exposure to loss from liquidity arrangements and no obligation to purchase assets of these entities.
Northern Trust’s investments in these unconsolidated tax credit structures and related unfunded commitments are reported in Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Northern Trust accounts for qualifying tax credit structures under the proportional amortization method. Under the proportional amortization method, the carrying amount of the investment is amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received in the current period as compared to the total income tax credits and income tax benefits expected to be received over the life of the investment. Income tax credits and other income tax benefits and amortization expense associated with unconsolidated tax credit structures are reported in the Provision for Income Tax on the consolidated statement of income.

Investment funds.
Northern Trust acts as an asset manager for various funds in which clients of Northern Trust are investors. As an asset manager of funds, Northern Trust earns a competitively priced fee that is based on assets managed and varies with each fund’s investment objective. Based on its analysis, Northern Trust has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under GAAP and therefore, the funds are not consolidated. Northern Trust’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying amount of its investments, including any undrawn commitments.
Certain funds for which Northern Trust acts as an asset manager comply or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds and, therefore, the funds are exempt from the consolidation requirements in ASC 810-10. Northern Trust does
no
t have any contractual obligations to provide financial support to the funds. Any potential future support of the funds will be at the discretion of Northern Trust after an evaluation of the specific facts and circumstances.
Periodically, Northern Trust makes seed capital investments to certain funds which are VIEs. As of March 31, 2026, Northern Trust had $
64.5
million of investments valued using net asset value per share and had $
72.6
million of unfunded commitments related to seed capital investments. As of December 31, 2025, Northern Trust had $
122.9
million seed capital investments valued using net asset value per share and $
19.6
million unfunded commitments related to seed capital investments.
Note 20 –
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments, Guarantees and Other Commitments.
Northern Trust, in the normal course of business, enters into various types of commitments and issues letters of credit to meet the liquidity and credit enhancement needs of its clients. The contractual amounts of these instruments represent the maximum potential credit exposure should the instrument be fully drawn upon and the client default. To control the credit risk associated with entering into commitments and issuing letters of credit, Northern Trust subjects such activities to the same credit quality and monitoring controls as its lending activities. Northern Trust does not believe the total contractual amount of these instruments to be representative of its future credit exposure or funding requirements.

billion and $
147.8
billion guarantee to the FICC under the sponsored member program, without taking into consideration the related collateral, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Undrawn Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since a significant portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future loans or liquidity requirements.
Standby Letters of Credit
obligate Northern Trust to meet certain financial obligations of its clients, if, under the contractual terms of the agreement, the clients are unable to do so. These instruments are primarily issued to support public and private financial commitments, including commercial paper, bond financing, initial margin requirements on futures exchanges and similar transactions. Northern Trust is obligated to meet the entire financial obligation of these agreements and in certain cases is able to recover the amounts paid through recourse against collateral received or other participants. Since the vast majority of the standby letters of credit are never drawn, the total standby letters of credit amount does not necessarily represent future loans or liquidity requirements.
Financial Guarantees
are issued by Northern Trust to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party under certain arrangements.
Commercial Letters of Credit
are instruments issued by Northern Trust on behalf of its clients that authorize a third party (the beneficiary) to draw drafts up to a stipulated amount under the specified terms and conditions of the agreement and other similar instruments. Commercial letters of credit are issued primarily to facilitate international trade.
Securities Lent with Indemnification
involves Northern Trust acting as an agent in lending securities on behalf of its clients to borrowers who are reviewed and approved by the Northern Trust Capital Markets Credit Committee. In connection with these activities, Northern Trust has issued indemnifications to certain clients against losses that are a direct result of a borrower’s failure to return securities when due, should the value of such securities exceed the value of the collateral posted. Borrowers are required to fully collateralize securities which are valued on a daily basis and subject to daily collateral calls to maintain the required levels of over-collateralization. The amount of securities loaned subject to indemnification as of as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $
177.1
billion and $
170.7
billion, respectively. Because of the credit quality of the borrowers and the requirement to fully collateralize securities borrowed, management believes that the exposure to credit loss from this activity is not significant and
no
liability was recorded as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025, related to these indemnifications.
Unsettled Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements.
Northern Trust enters into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements which may settle at a future date. In repurchase agreements, Northern Trust receives cash from and provides securities as collateral to a counterparty. In reverse repurchase agreements, Northern Trust advances cash to and receives securities as collateral from a counterparty. These transactions are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets on the settlement date. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were
no
unsettled repurchase agreements.
Sponsored Member Program
.
Northern Trust is an approved Government Securities Division (GSD) netting and sponsoring member in the FICC sponsored member program, through which Northern Trust submits eligible repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions in U.S. government securities between Northern Trust and its sponsored member clients for novation and clearing. Northern Trust may sponsor clients to clear their eligible repurchase transactions with the FICC. As a sponsoring member, Northern Trust guarantees to the FICC the prompt and full payment and performance of its sponsored member clients’ respective obligations under the FICC GSD’s rules. To mitigate Northern Trust’s credit exposure under this guarantee, Northern Trust obtains a security interest in its sponsored member clients’ collateral. See Note 23—Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities for additional information on Northern Trust’s repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements.
64
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Clearing and Settlement Organizations
.
The Bank is a participating member of various cash, securities and foreign exchange clearing and settlement organizations. It participates in these organizations on behalf of its clients and on its own behalf as a result of its own activities. A wide variety of cash and securities transactions are settled through these organizations, including those involving U.S. Treasuries, obligations of states and political subdivisions, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, dollar placements, and securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association.
Certain of these industry clearing and settlement exchanges require their members to guarantee their obligations and liabilities and/or to provide liquidity support in the event other members do not honor their obligations as stipulated in each clearing organization’s membership agreement. Exposure related to these agreements varies, primarily as a result of fluctuations in the volume of transactions cleared through the organizations. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Northern Trust has not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements as Northern Trust believes the likelihood that a clearing or settlement exchange (of which Northern Trust is a member) would become insolvent is remote. Controls related to these clearing transactions are closely monitored by management to protect the assets of Northern Trust and its clients.
Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to pending and threatened legal actions, and are subject to regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, investigations, and proceedings, both formal and informal. In certain legal actions, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted. In regulatory matters, claims for disgorgement, restitution, penalties and/or other remedial actions or sanctions may be sought.
Based on current knowledge, after consultation with legal counsel and after taking into account current accruals, management does not believe that losses, fines or penalties, if any, arising from pending litigation or threatened legal actions or regulatory matters either individually or in the aggregate, after giving effect to applicable reserves and insurance coverage will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Corporation, although such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s operating results for a particular period.
Under GAAP, (i) an event is “probable” if the “future event or events are likely to occur”; (ii) an event is “reasonably possible” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely”; and (iii) an event is “remote” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight.”
The outcome of litigation and regulatory matters is inherently difficult to predict and/or the range of loss often cannot be reasonably estimated, particularly for matters that (i) will be decided by a jury, (ii) are in early stages, (iii) involve uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class, (iv) are subject to appeals or motions, (v) involve significant factual issues to be resolved, including with respect to the amount of damages, (vi) do not specify the amount of damages sought or (vii) seek very large damages based on novel and complex damage and liability legal theories. Accordingly, the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate the eventual outcome of these pending matters, the timing of their ultimate resolution or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties, if any, related to each pending matter will be.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Corporation records accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. When loss contingencies are not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Corporation does not record accruals.
No
material accruals have been recorded for pending litigation or threatened legal actions or regulatory matters.
For a limited number of matters for which a loss is reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of an accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Corporation is able to estimate a range of possible loss. As of March 31, 2026, the Corporation has estimated the range of reasonably possible loss for these matters to be from
zero
to approximately $
10
million in the aggregate. The Corporation’s estimate with respect to the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
In certain other pending matters, there may be a range of reasonably possible loss (including reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued) that cannot be reasonably estimated for the reasons described above. Such matters are not included in the estimated range of reasonably possible loss discussed above.
65
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
In 2015, Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Guernsey) Limited (NTFS), an indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, was charged by a French investigating magistrate judge with complicity in estate tax fraud in connection with the administration of
two
trusts for which it serves as trustee. Charges also were brought against a number of other persons and entities related to this matter. NTFS provided no tax advice and was not involved in the preparation or filing of the challenged estate tax filings in this case. In 2017, a French court found no estate tax fraud had occurred and NTFS and all other persons and entities charged were acquitted. The Public Prosecutor’s Office of France appealed the court decision and in June 2018 a French appellate court issued its opinion on the matter, acquitting all persons and entities charged, including NTFS. In January 2021, the Cour de Cassation, the highest court in France, reversed the June 2018 appellate court ruling, requiring a re-trial at the appellate court level. This re-trial concluded in October 2023. On March 5, 2024 the appellate court rendered a judgment against all defendants, including NTFS. NTFS was ordered to pay a fine of €
187,500
in conjunction with the judgment. In addition, the court ordered that certain of those convicted in relation to tax fraud or aiding and abetting tax fraud, including NTFS, are jointly and severally liable for any allegedly unpaid estate taxes owing, plus penalties and interest. NTFS filed an appeal of the judgment on March 5, 2024. On February 4, 2026, the Cour de Cassation affirmed the appellate court’s judgment against all of the defendants, including NTFS. The determination of the parties’ joint and several liability for the unpaid estate taxes owing, plus penalties and interest, is dependent on a final decision in a separate proceeding still pending before the tax courts.
Visa Class B Common Shares and Makewhole Agreement.
Northern Trust, as a member of Visa U.S.A. Inc. (Visa U.S.A.) and in connection with the 2007 restructuring of Visa U.S.A. and its affiliates and the 2008 initial public offering of Visa Inc. (Visa), received certain Visa Class B common shares. The Visa Class B common shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions until the final resolution of certain litigation related to interchange fees involving Visa (the covered litigation), at which time the shares are convertible into Visa Class A common shares based on a conversion rate dependent upon the ultimate cost of resolving the covered litigation. Since 2018, Visa has deposited an additional $
5.8
billion into an escrow account previously established with respect to the covered litigation. As a result of the additional contributions to the escrow account, the rate at which Visa Class B-2 common shares will convert into Visa Class A common shares was reduced to
1.5075
as of March 31, 2026.
In September 2018, Visa reached a proposed class settlement agreement covering damage claims but not injunctive relief claims regarding the covered litigation. In December 2019, the district court granted final approval for the proposed class settlement agreement. In March 2023, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s approval of the class settlement agreement. Certain merchants have opted out of the class settlement and are pursuing claims separately. The ultimate resolution of the covered litigation, the timing for removal of the selling restrictions on the Visa Class B common shares and the rate at which such shares will ultimately convert into Visa Class A common shares are uncertain.
In May 2024, Northern Trust participated in an offer to exchange outstanding shares of Visa’s Class B common stock for a newly issued series of Visa Class B common shares and Visa Class C common shares (Exchange Offer). The newly issued series of Visa Class B-2 common shares are subject to the same transfer and convertibility restrictions as the previously outstanding Visa Class B common shares. The Visa Class C common shares will automatically be converted at the then applicable conversion rate into shares of Visa Class A common stock if transferred to a person other than a Visa member or an affiliate of a Visa member. Visa can, at its discretion, conduct up to
three
successive potential exchange offers, in each case, if more than
12
months have passed since the previous exchange offer and after a further
50
% reduction of interchange fees at issue in the unresolved claims for damages in the covered litigation.
Northern Trust holds the Visa Class B-2 common shares received in the Exchange Offer at their carryover basis of
zero
as of March 31, 2026. Based upon the March 31, 2026 closing price of $
302.24
for a Visa Class A common share, the estimated value of Northern Trust’s Visa Class B-2 common shares was approximately $
940.8
million at the current conversion rate of Visa Class B-2 to Visa Class A common shares. The estimated value does not represent fair value given the shares’ limited transferability.
As of March 31, 2026, Northern Trust continues to hold
10.7
thousand Visa Class C common shares which are recorded at their fair value of $
12.9
million in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded in Other Operating Income on the consolidated statement of income.
In conjunction with Northern Trust’s participation in the Exchange Offer, Northern Trust was required to enter into the Makewhole Agreement whereby if all the Visa Class B-2 common share value is exhausted via additional escrow contributions, the Visa Class B-2 shareholders have to step in and make whole what the original Visa Class B common shares would have been obligated to cover absent the Exchange Offer. At March 31, 2026, Northern Trust has not recorded a liability under this agreement as Northern Trust believes the likelihood that a payment under the Makewhole Agreement will have to be made is remote.
66
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
On April 13, 2026, Visa commenced the second such Exchange Offer. Northern Trust has submitted its election to participate in the Exchange Offer and is tendering all of its Visa Class B-2 common shares in exchange for
50
% in the form of a newly issued series of Visa Class B-3 common shares and
50
% in the form of Visa Class C common shares. The Visa Class C common shares will automatically be converted at the then applicable conversion rate into shares of Visa Class A common stock if transferred to a person other than a Visa member or an affiliate of a Visa member. Once received, one third of the Visa Class C common shares are transferable within the first
45
days following the accepted exchange, up to two-thirds are transferable within the first
90
days, and all such shares are transferable after
90
days. The newly issued series of Visa Class B-3 common shares will be subject to the same transfer and convertibility restrictions as the current outstanding Visa Class B-2 common shares. In conjunction with its participation in the second such Exchange Offer, Northern Trust will be required to enter into a Makewhole Agreement related to the Visa Class B-3 common shares.
Note 21 –
Derivative Financial Instruments
Northern Trust is a party to various derivative financial instruments that are used in the normal course of business to meet the needs of its clients, as part of its trading activity for its own account and as part of its risk management activities. These instruments may include foreign exchange contracts, interest rate contracts, total return swap contracts, and swaps related to the sales of certain Visa Class B common shares.
Foreign exchange contracts
are agreements to exchange specific amounts of currencies at a future date, at a specified rate of exchange. Foreign exchange contracts are entered into primarily to meet the foreign exchange needs of clients. Foreign exchange contracts are also used for trading and risk management purposes. For risk management purposes, Northern Trust uses foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates relating to certain forecasted non-functional-currency-denominated revenue and expenditure transactions and foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities, including debt securities and net investments in non-U.S. affiliates.
Interest rate contracts
include swap and option contracts. Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Northern Trust enters into interest rate swap contracts with its clients and also may utilize such contracts to reduce or eliminate the exposure to changes in the cash flows or fair value of hedged assets or liabilities due to changes in interest rates. Interest rate option contracts may include caps, floors, collars and swaptions, and provide for the transfer or reduction of interest rate risk, typically in exchange for a fee. Northern Trust enters into option contracts primarily as a seller of interest rate protection to clients. Northern Trust receives a fee at the outset of the agreement for the assumption of the risk of an unfavorable change in interest rates. This assumed interest rate risk is then mitigated by entering into an offsetting position with an outside counterparty. Northern Trust may also purchase or enter into option contracts for risk management purposes including to reduce the exposure to changes in the cash flows of hedged assets due to changes in interest rates.

See further detail in Note 23—Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities.
Notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent credit risk and are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. They are used merely to express the volume of this activity. Northern Trust’s credit-related risk of loss is limited to the positive fair value of the derivative instrument, net of any collateral received, which is significantly less than the notional amount.
All derivative financial instruments, whether designated as hedges or not, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value within Other Assets or Other Liabilities. Northern Trust has elected to net derivative assets and liabilities when legally enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements exist between Northern Trust and the counterparty.
Hedging Derivative Instruments Designated under GAAP.
Northern Trust uses derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk. Certain hedging relationships are formally designated and qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP as fair value, cash flow or net investment hedges.
In order to qualify for hedge accounting, a formal assessment is performed on a calendar-quarter basis to verify that derivatives used in designated hedging transactions continue to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If a derivative ceases to be highly effective, matures, is sold or is terminated, or if a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is terminated and the derivative is treated as a trading instrument.
Fair Value Hedges.
Derivatives are designated as fair value hedges to limit Northern Trust’s exposure to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities due to movements in interest rates. Northern Trust may enter into interest rate swaps to hedge changes in fair value of AFS debt securities and long-term subordinated debt and senior notes. Northern Trust applied the “shortcut” method of accounting, available under GAAP, which assumes there is perfect effectiveness in a hedge, for all of its fair value hedges during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized currently in earnings within the same income statement line item.
68
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Cash Flow Hedges.
Derivatives are also d
esignated as cash flow hedges in order to minimize the variability in cash flows of earning assets or forecasted transactions caused by movements in interest or foreign exchange rates. Northern Trust may enter into foreign exchange contracts to hedge changes in cash flows due to movements in foreign exchange rates of forecasted foreign-currency-denominated transactions and foreign-currency-denominated debt securities. Northern Trust may also enter into interest rate contracts to hedge changes in cash flows due to movements in interest rates of AFS debt securities or loans. The change in fair value of cash flow hedging derivative instruments are recorded in AOCI and reclassified to earnings when the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings within the same income statement line item. For certain cash flow hedging strategies, amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recorded in AOCI and amortized to earnings over the life of the derivative.
There were
no
material gains or losses reclassified into earnings during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as a result of the discontinuance of forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring. It is estimated that net gains of $
5.2
million will be reclassified into Net Income within the next twelve months relating to cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2025,
10
months was the maximum length of time over which the exposure to variability in future cash flows of forecasted foreign-currency-denominated debt securities was being hedged.
The following tables provide fair value and cash flow hedge derivative gains and losses recognized in income during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

114.3
million were recognized in AOCI related to foreign exchange contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging under GAAP.
Northern Trust’s derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging under GAAP include derivatives for purposes of client-related and trading activities, as well as other risk management purposes. These activities consist principally of providing foreign exchange services to clients in connection with Northern Trust’s global custody business. However, in the normal course of business, Northern Trust also engages in trading of currencies for its own account.
Non-designated risk management derivatives may include foreign exchange contracts entered into to manage the foreign currency risk of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated assets and liabilities, the net investment in certain non-U.S. affiliates, commercial loans and forecasted foreign-currency-denominated transactions. Swaps related to sales of certain Visa Class B common shares were entered into pursuant to which Northern Trust retains the risks associated with the ultimate conversion of the Visa Class B common shares into Visa Class A common shares. Total return swaps are entered into to manage the equity price risk associated with certain investments.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges under GAAP are recognized currently in income.
The following table provides the location and amount of gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, for derivative instruments not designated as hedges under GAAP.

Note 22 –
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financings and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were sold plus accrued interest. To minimize any potential credit risk associated with these transactions, the fair value of the securities sold is monitored, limits are set on exposure with counterparties, and the financial condition of counterparties is regularly assessed. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are either directly held by, or pledged to the counterparty until the repurchase. Northern Trust nets securities sold under repurchase agreements against those purchased under resale agreements when there is a legally enforceable master netting arrangement and the other conditions to net are met.
As of March 31, 2026, a payment processing issue with the cash custodian for certain FICC sponsored member clients resulted in a $
4.6
billion receivable for cash not received as expected on executed repurchase agreements, which was recorded in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Cash was received the following business day and the overnight repurchase agreements unwound in the normal course.

Northern Trust did not place any cash collateral with counterparties that was not offset in the consolidated balance sheets that could have been used to offset the net amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
All of Northern Trust’s securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements) involve the transfer of financial assets in exchange for cash subject to a right and obligation to repurchase those assets for an agreed upon amount. In the event of a repurchase failure, the cash or financial assets are available for offset. Certain repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements are subject to a master netting arrangement, which sets forth the rights and obligations for repurchase and offset. Under the master netting arrangement, Northern Trust is entitled to offset receivables from and collateral placed with a single counterparty against obligations owed to that counterparty. In addition, collateral held by Northern Trust can be offset against receivables from that counterparty. Northern Trust has elected to net securities sold under repurchase agreements against those purchased under resale agreements when the GAAP requirements to net are met.
Derivative asset and liability positions with a single counterparty can be offset against each other in cases where legally enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements exist. Derivative assets and liabilities can be further offset by cash collateral received from, and deposited with, the transacting counterparty. The basis for this view is that, upon termination of transactions subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement, the individual derivative receivables do not represent resources to which general creditors have rights and individual derivative payables do not represent claims that are equivalent to the claims of general creditors. Northern Trust has elected to net derivative assets and liabilities when legally enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements exist between Northern Trust and the counterparty.
72
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Credit risk associated with derivative instruments relates to the failure of the counterparty and the failure of Northern Trust to pay based on the contractual terms of the agreement, and is generally limited to the unrealized fair value gains and losses on these instruments, net of any collateral received or deposited. The amount of credit risk will increase or decrease during the lives of the instruments as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or equity prices fluctuate. Northern Trust’s risk is controlled by limiting such activity to an approved list of counterparties and by subjecting such activity to the same credit and quality controls as are followed in lending and investment activities. Credit support annexes and other similar agreements are currently in place with a number of Northern Trust’s counterparties which mitigate the aforementioned credit risk associated with derivative activity conducted with those counterparties by requiring that significant net unrealized fair value gains be supported by collateral placed with Northern Trust.
Additional cash collateral received from and deposited with derivative counterparties totaling $
121.5
million and $
254.1
million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026, and $
420.8
million and $
144.1
million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025, was not offset against derivative assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as the amounts exceeded the net derivative positions with those counterparties.
Certain master netting arrangements Northern Trust enters into with derivative counterparties contain credit-risk-related contingent features in which the counterparty has the option to declare Northern Trust in default and accelerate cash settlement of net derivative liabilities with the counterparty in the event Northern Trust’s credit rating falls below specified levels. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was $
416.9
million and $
306.7
million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Cash collateral amounts deposited with derivative counterparties on those dates included $
296.1
million and $
299.1
million, respectively, posted against these liabilities, resulting in a net maximum amount of termination payments that could have been required at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, of $
120.8
million and $
7.6
million, respectively. Accelerated settlement of these liabilities would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of Northern Trust.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2026, the Corporation’s management, with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

On July 22, 2025 the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase authorization (the “New Stock Repurchase Authorization”) authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion (the “Maximum Program Amount”) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of common stock from time to time. The New Stock Repurchase Authorization replaces the previously announced authorization approved on October 19, 2021. All funds expected in connection with repurchases after the New Stock Repurchase Authorization shall count against the Maximum Program Amount. The New Stock Repurchase Authorization has no expiration date. Thus the Corporation retains the ability to repurchase when circumstances warrant and applicable regulation permits.
The Corporation expects to acquire shares of common stock under the New Stock Repurchase Authorization through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, and/or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted by the Corporation’s management in accordance with federal securities laws from time to time, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The timing and actual number of shares of common stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The New Stock Repurchase Authorization does not obligate the Corporation to acquire a specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Please refer to Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity to the consolidated financial statements provided in Part I - Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).
