INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue
dollars in millions											Change 3Q21 vs.
	3Q21			2Q21			3Q20				2Q21		3Q20
Net interest income (TE)	$	1,025		$	1,023		$	1,006			.2	%	1.9	%

Total revenue	$	1,822		$	1,773		$	1,687			2.8	%	8.0	%
TE = Taxable Equivalent

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.0 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $19 million from the third quarter of 2020. The increase in net interest income reflects higher earning asset balances and lower interest-bearing deposit costs, partially offset by a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin was impacted by lower interest rates and a change in balance sheet mix, including elevated levels of liquidity, partly offset by higher loan fees from the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") forgiveness.

Compared to the second quarter of 2021, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by $2 million, and the net interest margin decreased by 5 basis points. Both net interest income and the net interest margin were impacted by higher earning asset balances, including elevated levels of liquidity, partially offset by lower earning asset yields. Net interest income also benefited from one additional business day in the third quarter of 2021.

Total noninterest income	$	797		$	750		$	681			6.3	%	17.0	%

Compared to the third quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased by $116 million, primarily driven by an $89 million increase in investment banking and debt placement fees, driven by higher volumes in equity underwriting and advisory transactions. Corporate services income and commercial mortgage servicing fees increased $18 million and $16 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases was consumer mortgage income, which decreased $18 million, due to lower gain on sale margins.

Compared to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest income increased by $47 million, reflecting broad-based growth in our fee-based businesses. Notable drivers of the quarter-over-quarter increase were investment banking and debt placement fees and corporate services income, which increased $18 million and $14 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases was a $10 million decrease in commercial mortgage servicing fees, reflecting lower activity-related fees.

Noninterest Expense
dollars in millions											Change 3Q21 vs.
	3Q21			2Q21			3Q20				2Q21		3Q20
Personnel expense	$	640		$	623		$	588			2.7	%	8.8	%
Nonpersonnel expense	472			453			449				4.2		5.1
Total noninterest expense	$	1,112		$	1,076		$	1,037			3.3	%	7.2	%

Key's noninterest expense was $1.1 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $75 million from the year-ago period. The increase is primarily related to higher personnel costs of $52 million, reflecting higher incentive and stock-based compensation, attributed to an increase in fee production and Key's increased stock price. Additionally, other drivers for the year-over-year increase include higher business services and professional fees and marketing expense.

Compared to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest expense increased $36 million. The increase is primarily related to other expense, which is up $18 million reflecting elevated charitable contributions and a pension settlement charge. Additionally, personnel expense increased $17 million, mostly driven by an $8 million increase in employee benefits and a $7 million increase in salaries and contract labor due to one additional day in the quarter.

Average loans were $100.1 billion for the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of $4.8 billion compared to the third quarter of 2020. Commercial loans decreased $7.5 billion, reflecting decreased utilization versus the year-ago period and a decline in PPP balances. Consumer loans increased $2.7 billion, reflecting strength from Key's consumer mortgage business and Laurel Road, partly offset by the sale of the indirect auto loan portfolio.

Compared to the second quarter of 2021, average loans decreased by $676 million. Commercial loans decreased $1.6 billion, driven by a $3.3 billion decline in PPP loan balances, partially offset by core portfolio growth in commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans. Consumer loans continue to reflect strength from Key's consumer mortgage business, partly offset by the sale of the indirect auto loan portfolio, which reduced average loans by $763 million.

Average deposits totaled $146.9 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $12.0 billion compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting growth from consumer and commercial relationships, including higher commercial escrow deposits, partially offset by a decline in time deposits.

Compared to the second quarter of 2021, average deposits increased by $2.6 billion, primarily driven by commercial growth.

N/A = Not Applicable

Key's provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $107 million, including a $136 million reserve release for the third quarter of 2021, compared to an expense of $160 million in the third quarter of 2020 and a net benefit of $222 million in the second quarter of 2021. The reserve release was largely driven by a continued improvement in the economic outlook.

Net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $29 million, or .11% of average total loans. These results compare to $128 million, or .49%, for the third quarter of 2020 and $22 million, or .09%, for the second quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs in the current quarter included $22 million related to the sale of the indirect auto loan portfolio. Key's allowance for credit losses was $1.2 billion, or 1.25% of total period-end loans at September 30, 2021, compared to 1.88% at September 30, 2020, and 1.36% at June 30, 2021.

At September 30, 2021, Key's nonperforming loans totaled $554 million, which represented .56% of period-end portfolio loans. These results compare to .81% at September 30, 2020, and .69% at June 30, 2021. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2021, totaled $599 million, and represented .61% of period-end portfolio loans and OREO and other nonperforming assets. These results compare to .97% at September 30, 2020, and .73% at June 30, 2021.

CAPITAL

Key's estimated risk-based capital ratios included in the following table continued to exceed all "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks at September 30, 2021. On September 10, Key entered into an accelerated share repurchase program.

Capital Ratios
	9/30/2021		6/30/2021		9/30/2020
Common Equity Tier 1 (a)	9.6	%	9.9	%	9.5	%

Total risk based capital (a)	12.7		13.2		13.3
Tangible common equity to tangible assets (b)	7.0		7.4		7.8
Leverage (a)	8.4		8.7		8.7

(a)	September 30, 2021 ratio is estimated and reflects Key's election to adopt the CECL optional transition provision.
(b)	The table entitled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" in the attached financial supplement presents the computations of certain financial measures related to "tangible common equity." The table reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures, which provides a basis for period-to-period comparisons.

Key's capital position remained strong in the third quarter of 2021. As shown in the preceding table, at September 30, 2021, Key's estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios stood at 9.6% and 10.9%, respectively. Key's tangible common equity ratio was 7.0% at September 30, 2021.

Key has elected the CECL phase-in option provided by regulatory guidance which delays for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital and phases it in over three years beginning in 2022. On a fully phased-in basis, Key's Common Equity Tier 1 ratio would be reduced by 20 basis points.

Consumer Bank Summary of Operations (3Q21 vs. 3Q20)

• Net income attributable to Key of $241 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $229 million for the year-ago quarter
• Taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased by $16 million, compared to the third quarter of 2020, driven by the lower interest rate environment, partially offset by strong consumer mortgage balance sheet growth and fees related to PPP loans
• Average loans and leases increased $1.4 billion, or 3.8%, from the third quarter of 2020, driven by growth in consumer mortgage, partially offset by the sale of the indirect auto loan portfolio
• Average deposits increased $6.3 billion, or 7.6%, from the third quarter of 2020, driven by retention of consumer stimulus payments and relationship growth
• Provision for credit losses decreased $35 million, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The provision for credit losses was a net benefit and was driven by improvements in expected economic conditions and continued strength in client credit quality
• Noninterest income increased $22 million, or 8.3%, from the year ago quarter, driven by higher service charges on deposit accounts and cards and payments income, partially offset by lower consumer mortgage income, due to lower gain on sale margins
• Noninterest expense increased $24 million, or 4.2%, from the year ago quarter, driven by higher production-related incentives and support expenses related to higher loan volumes

• Provision for credit losses decreased $219 million, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The provision for credit losses was a net benefit and was driven by expected improvements in economic conditions
• Noninterest income increased $93 million, from the year-ago quarter, driven by elevated investment banking client activity and commercial mortgage servicing fees, partially offset by lower cards and payments income as individuals roll off unemployment benefits
• Noninterest expense increased by $23 million, or 5.1%, from the third quarter of 2020, driven by higher production-related incentives related to strong revenue production

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(dollars in millions)

The table below presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to "tangible common equity," "return on average tangible common equity," "pre-provision net revenue," and "cash efficiency ratio."

The tangible common equity ratio and the return on average tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key's capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock.

The table also shows the computation for pre-provision net revenue, which is not formally defined by GAAP. Management believes that eliminating the effects of the provision for credit losses makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.

The cash efficiency ratio is a ratio of two non-GAAP performance measures. As such, there is no directly comparable GAAP performance measure. The cash efficiency ratio performance measure removes the impact of Key's intangible asset amortization from the calculation. Management believes this ratio provide greater consistency and comparability between Key's results and those of its peer banks. Additionally, this ratio is used by analysts and investors as they develop earnings forecasts and peer bank analysis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

(a)

Restructured loans (i.e., troubled debt restructuring) are those for which Key, for reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  These concessions are made to improve the collectability of the loan and generally take the form of a reduction of the interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance.
