FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding potential future share repurchases and future dividends as well as the potential effects of the COVID-19 disruption andRussia's invasion ofUkraine on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects, are forward-looking statements. Also, any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "goals," "targets," "initiatives," "potentially," "probably," "projects," "outlook," "guidance" or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as "may," "will," "should," "would," and "could." Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management, and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: •Negative economic and political conditions that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits which may affect, among other things, the level of nonaccrual assets, charge-offs and provision expense;
•The rate of growth in the economy and employment levels, as well as general business and economic conditions, and changes in the competitive environment;
•Our ability to implement our business strategy, including the cost savings and efficiency components, and achieve our financial performance goals, including through the integration of Investors and the HSBC branches;
•The COVID-19 disruption and its effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate;
•The impact ofRussia's invasion ofUkraine and the imposition of sanctions onRussia and other actions in response, including on economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures and the interest rate environment, commodity price and foreign exchange rate volatility, and heightened cybersecurity risks;
•Our ability to meet heightened supervisory requirements and expectations;
•Liabilities and business restrictions resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations;
•Our capital and liquidity requirements under regulatory capital standards and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
•The effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale;
•Changes in interest rates and market liquidity, as well as the magnitude of such changes, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets;
•The effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
•Financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses;
•A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks;
•Greater than expected costs or other difficulties related to the integration of our business and that of Investors and the relevant HSBC branches;
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 7 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•The inability to retain existing Investors or HSBC clients and employees following the closing of the Investors acquisition and HSBC transaction; and
•Management's ability to identify and manage these and other risks.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the actual amounts and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, risk-weighted assets, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other regulatory and accounting considerations, as well as any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares from or pay any dividends to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or dividends. Further, statements about the effects of the pandemic andRussia's invasion ofUkraine on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual impacts may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic andRussia's invasion ofUkraine , actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic andRussia's invasion ofUkraine , and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic andRussia's invasion ofUkraine on our customers, third parties and us. More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the "Risk Factors" section in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K as well as Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 .

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains non-GAAP financial measures denoted as "Underlying" results. Underlying results for any given reporting period exclude certain items that may occur in that period which management does not consider indicative of our on-going financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by management to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe our Underlying results in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance, increase comparability of period-to-period results, and are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by such companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are denoted throughout our MD&A by the use of the term Underlying. Where there is a reference to these metrics in that paragraph, all measures that follow are on the same basis when applicable. For more information on the computation of non-GAAP financial measures, see "-Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is our largest source of revenue and is the difference between the interest earned on interest-earning assets (generally loans, leases and investment securities) and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities (generally deposits and borrowed funds). The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the difference between the effective yield on our average interest-earning assets and the effective cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by the pricing and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors such as local economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the FRB and market interest rates. For further discussion, refer to "-Market Risk - Non-Trading Risk," and "-Risk Governance" as described in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Net interest income increased$381 million , or 34%, and increased$411 million , or 18%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, reflecting growth of 19% and 11%, respectively, in interest-earning assets and a higher net interest margin. Net interest margin on a FTE basis increased 32 basis points to 3.04%, and increased 17 basis points to 2.91%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, reflecting higher earning-asset yields given higher market interest rates, the impact of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition, and the deployment of cash into loan growth, partially offset by increased funding costs. Average interest-earning asset yields increased 36 basis points to 3.26%, and increased 15 basis points to 3.09%, while average interest-bearing liability costs increased 5 basis points to 0.36%, and decreased 4 basis points to 0.30%, respectively, compared to the same periods.
Average interest-earning assets increased
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in loans, primarily reflecting the impact of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition, and investments was partially offset by a decrease in cash held in interest-bearing deposits from the partial deployment of elevated liquidity. Average deposits increased$26.0 billion , or 17%, and increased$17.3 billion , or 12%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily attributable to the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition. Average total borrowed funds increased$6.7 billion and increased$2.2 billion , respectively, compared to the same periods, given an increase in long-term and short-term FHLB advances and subordinated debt, partially offset by a decrease in senior debt.

Noninterest income increased$9 million , or 2%, and decreased$35 million , or 3%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, highlighted by the following significant changes.
•The changes in capital markets fees reflect lower bond underwriting fees and higher merger and acquisition advisory and loan syndication fees.
•Service charges and fees increased driven by the Investors acquisition and HSBC transaction.
•Mortgage banking fees declined given lower gain-on-sale margins and production volumes.
•Card fees increased driven by higher debit and credit card volumes.
•Trust and investment services fees increased driven by higher annuity and assets under management fees.
•Foreign exchange and derivative products revenue increased reflecting growth in client hedging activity across foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity products. •The decrease in other income was driven by$31 million of mark-to-market losses on loans acquired from Investors classified as LHFS, partially offset by higher bank-owned life insurance income.Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 13 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The increases in three and six month expense were driven primarily by$104 million and$141 million , respectively, of integration-related costs, higher salaries and employee benefits as well as other operating expense associated withFDIC insurance, travel and advertising costs, partially offset by the benefit of efficiency initiatives.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is the result of a detailed analysis performed to estimate our ACL. The total provision for credit losses includes the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded commitments. Refer to "-Analysis of Financial Condition - Allowance for Credit Losses and Nonaccrual Loans and Leases" for more information. Credit provision expense of$216 million and$219 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to a credit provision benefit of$213 million and$353 million for the same periods in 2021. The credit provision includes the "double count" of the non-PCD loan CECL provision expense of$145 million and$169 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, tied to the Investors acquisition and the HSBC transaction. The increased provision expense reflects loan growth, including the Investors acquisition and a slight deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook, partially offset by strong credit performance across retail and commercial.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of$114 million and$230 million decreased$69 million and$123 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, driven by decreased taxable income. The effective income tax rate of 23.8% and 22.7% for the same periods increased from 22.0% and 21.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily driven by higher state taxes and nondeductible expenses related to recent acquisitions, partially offset by the increased benefit of tax-advantaged investments.
Business Operating Segments
We have two business operating segments: Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. Segment results are derived by specifically attributing managed assets, liabilities, capital and related revenues, provision for credit losses, which at the segment level is equal to net charge-offs, and other expenses. The residual difference between the consolidated provision for credit losses and the business operating segments' net charge-offs is reflected in Other. Non-segment operations are classified as Other and include assets, liabilities, capital, revenues, provision for credit losses, expenses and income tax expense not attributed to our Consumer or Commercial Banking segments as well as treasury and community development. In addition, for impairment testing purposes, we allocate all goodwill to our Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking reporting units. There have been no significant changes in our methodologies used to allocate items to our business operating segments as described in "-Results of Operations - Business Operating Segments" in our 2021 Form 10-K other than the change relative to our FTP methodology. See Note 18 for additional information.Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following tables present certain financial data of our business operating segments. Total business operating segment financial results differ from total consolidated financial results. These differences are reflected in Other non-segment operations.

Consumer Banking Net interest income increased$98 million , or 11%, and increased$92 million , or 5%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, driven by higher net interest margin and growth in interest-earning assets, including the impact of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in PPP loans. Average loans increased$11.9 billion and increased$7.5 billion for the same periods, reflecting the impact of the Investors acquisition and HSBC transaction, partially offset by a decline in PPP loans and planned runoff of personal unsecured installment loans. Deposits increased$17.5 billion , or 17%, and increased$12.5 billion , or 13%, for the same periods, including the impact of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition. Noninterest income decreased$3 million , or 1%, and decreased$97 million , or 15%, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, driven by lower mortgage banking fees reflecting lower gain-on-sale margins and production volumes, and lower service charges and fees. This decrease was partially offset by higher trust and investment services fees reflecting higher annuity and management fees, and higher card fees driven by debit and credit card volumes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our securities portfolio is managed to maintain prudent levels of liquidity, credit quality, and market risk while achieving returns that align with our overall portfolio management strategy. The portfolio primarily includes high quality, highly liquid investments reflecting our ongoing commitment to maintain strong contingent liquidity levels and pledging capacity. As ofJune 30, 2022 ,U.S. government-guaranteed notes and GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities represent 93% of the fair value of our debt securities portfolio holdings. Holdings backed by mortgages dominate our portfolio and facilitate our ability to pledge those securities to the FHLB for collateral purposes. For further discussion of the liquidity coverage ratios, see "Regulation and Supervision - Liquidity Requirements" in our 2021 Form 10-K. The fair value of the debt securities portfolio increased$6.0 billion fromDecember 31, 2021 , driven in large part by$3.8 billion from the Investors acquisition as well as net securities purchases. This increase was partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates driving a$2.8 billion increase in unrealized losses. The amortized cost basis of the HTM portfolio increased$7.3 billion due to the transfer of$7.8 billion from the AFS portfolio during the second quarter of 2022, offset in part by paydowns. The ratio of HTM securities to total securities increased to approximately 27% as ofJune 30, 2022 . As ofJune 30, 2022 , the portfolio's average effective duration was 5.7 years compared with 4.3 years as ofDecember 31, 2021 , as higher long-term rates drove a decrease in both actual and projected securities prepayment speeds. We manage our securities portfolio duration and convexity risk through asset selection and securities structure, and maintain duration levels within our risk appetite in the context of the broader interest rate risk framework and limits.

Commercial Loan Asset Quality
Our commercial portfolio consists of traditional commercial and industrial loans, commercial leases and commercial real estate loans. The portfolio is predominantly focused on customers in our footprint and adjacent states in which we have a physical presence where our local delivery model provides for strong client connectivity. Additionally, we also do business in certain specialized industry sectors on a national basis.

Retail Loan Asset Quality
For retail loans, we utilize credit scores provided by FICO and the loan's payment and delinquency status to monitor credit quality. Management believes FICO credit scores are the strongest indicator of potential credit losses over the contractual life of the loan. These scores represent current and historical national industry-wide consumer level credit performance data, which management considers to predict a borrower's future payment performance. The largest portion of the retail portfolio is represented by borrowers located in theNew England , Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. However, we do lend selectively in areas outside the footprint, primarily in automobile finance and education lending.Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 21 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troubled Debt Restructurings
In the first quarter of 2020, the CARES Act and interagency guidance exempted from TDR classification COVID-19-related modified retail and commercial loans that met certain eligibility criteria. We generally do not consider modified loans that met eligibility criteria under the CARES Act to be TDRs. OnDecember 31, 2021 , relief provisions granted under the CARES Act expired, including the TDR classification exemption.
For additional information regarding TDRs, see Note 6 in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Borrowed Funds Total borrowed funds of$18.2 billion as ofJune 30, 2022 increased$11.2 billion fromDecember 31, 2021 , driven by an increase in FHLB borrowings. The FHLB borrowings increased due to the advances acquired from Investors and the funding of loan and security growth. For more information regarding our borrowed funds, see "-Liquidity" and Note 9.
CAPITAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
As a bank holding company and a financial holding company, we are subject to regulation and supervision by the FRB. Our banking subsidiary, CBNA, is a national banking association primarily regulated by the OCC. Our regulation and supervision continues to evolve as the legal and regulatory frameworks governing our operations continue to change. For more information, see "Regulation and Supervision" in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Capital Adequacy Process
Our assessment of capital adequacy begins with our Board-approved risk appetite and risk management framework. This framework provides for the identification, measurement and management of material risks. There have been no significant changes to our capital adequacy risk appetite and risk management framework as described in "-Capital and Regulatory Matters" in our 2021 Form 10-K. Under the FRB's Tailoring Rules, Category IV firms, such as us, are subject to biennial supervisory stress testing and are exempt from company-run stress testing and related disclosure requirements. The FRB supervises Category IV firms on an ongoing basis, including evaluation of the capital adequacy and capital planning processes during off-cycle years. Annually, the FRB requires us to submit a capital plan approved by our Board of Directors or one of its committees. Our annual capital plan is due each year in April. We submitted our 2022 Capital Plan to the FRB onApril 4, 2022 . For more information, see the "Tailoring of Prudential Requirements" section in Item 1 of our 2021 Form 10-K.Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 23 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the stress capital buffer ("SCB") framework, the FRB will not object to capital plans on quantitative grounds and each firm is required to maintain capital ratios above the sum of its minimum and SCB requirements to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments.
For Category IV firms, like us, the SCB will be re-calibrated with each biennial supervisory stress test and updated annually to reflect our planned common stock dividends. Our SCB requirement throughSeptember 30, 2022 , is 3.4%. OnJune 23, 2022 , the FRB notified us that based on the results of the 2022 CCAR supervisory stress tests, our preliminary SCB effectiveOctober 1, 2022 throughSeptember 30, 2023 , will remain at 3.4%, with the FRB providing us with a final SCB byAugust 31, 2022 . To incorporate the effects of the Investors acquisition on our capital requirements, the FRB will require that we participate in the 2023 CCAR supervisory stress tests. Regulations relating to capital planning, regulatory reporting, stress testing and capital buffer requirements applicable to firms like us are presently subject to rule-making and potential further guidance and interpretation by the applicable federal regulators. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these and any other prudential regulatory changes, including their potential resultant changes in our regulatory and compliance costs and expenses.
For more information, see the "Regulation and Supervision" and "-Capital and Regulatory Matters" sections in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Regulatory Capital Ratios and Capital Composition
Under the currentU.S. Basel III capital framework, we and our banking subsidiary, CBNA, must meet the following specific minimum requirements: CET1 capital ratio of 4.5%, tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, total capital ratio of 8.0% and tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. As a bank holding company, our SCB of 3.4% is imposed on top of the three minimum risk-based capital ratios listed above and a CCB of 2.5% is imposed on top of the three minimum risk-based capital ratios listed above for our banking subsidiary. Under theU.S. Basel III rules, the CET1 deduction threshold for MSRs, certain deferred tax assets and investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions is 25%. As ofJune 30, 2022 , we did not meet the threshold for these additional capital deductions. MSRs or certain deferred tax assets not deducted from CET1 capital are assigned a 250% risk weight and investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions not deducted from CET1 capital are assigned an exposure category risk weight. In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FRB and the other federal banking regulators adopted a final rule relative to regulatory capital treatment of ACL under CECL. This rule allows electing banking organizations to delay the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital for a two-year period endingDecember 31, 2021 , followed by a three-year transition period endingDecember 31, 2024 . The three-year transition period will phase-in the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. OnDecember 31, 2021 , the aggregate amount of capital benefit was$384 million . The reduction in the capital benefit in 2022 is$96 million , or 5 basis points. For additional discussion of theU.S. Basel III capital framework and its related application, see "Regulation and Supervision" in our 2021 Form 10-K. The table below presents our actual regulatory capital ratios under theU.S. Basel III Standardized rules:
Table 18: Regulatory Capital Ratios Under the
June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Required Minimum (in millions, except ratio data) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Capital Ratios(1) CET1 capital$17,946 9.6 %$15,656 9.9 % 7.9 % Tier 1 capital 19,960 10.6 17,670 11.1 9.4 Total capital 23,184 12.3 20,244 12.7 11.4 Tier 1 leverage 19,960 9.3 17,670 9.7 4.0 Risk-weighted assets 187,727 158,831 Quarterly adjusted average assets 215,727 181,800 (1) Required "Minimum Capital Ratios" are: CET1 capital of 4.5%; Tier 1 capital of 6.0%; Total capital of 8.0%; and Tier 1 leverage of 4.0%. "Minimum Capital Ratios" also include a SCB of 3.4%; N/A to Tier 1 leverage. Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AtJune 30, 2022 , our CET1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital ratios were 9.6%, 10.6% and 12.3%, respectively, as compared with 9.9%, 11.1% and 12.7%, respectively, as ofDecember 31, 2021 . The CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios decreased largely driven by$28.9 billion of RWA growth, higher estimated goodwill and intangibles related to the Investors acquisition and the HSBC transaction, dividends as described in "-Capital Transactions" below and a decrease in the modified CECL transition amount as a result of entering the CECL three-year transition period, partially offset by the common stock issued in connection with the Investors acquisition and net income for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 . The total capital ratio decreased due to the changes in the CET1 capital ratio described above, partially offset by increases in subordinated debt as described in "-Capital Transactions" below and higher AACL related to the Investors acquisition and a reduction in the modified AACL transition amount as a result of entering the CECL three-year transition period. AtJune 30, 2022 , our CET1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital ratios were approximately 170 basis points, 120 basis points and 90 basis points, respectively, above their regulatory minimums plus our SCB. All ratios remained well above theU.S. Basel III minimums. Both the Company and CBNA are subject to the standardized approach for determining RWA. AtJune 30, 2022 , RWA totaled$187.7 billion , up$28.9 billion fromDecember 31, 2021 , largely driven by the Investors acquisition and includes higher CRE, commercial and residential mortgage loans, home equity lines, MSRs, CRE commitments and loans held for sale.
