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 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 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 of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions on Russia 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 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 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 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 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 ended March 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.

(1) Net interest income and net interest margin is presented on a FTE basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%. The FTE impact is predominantly attributable to commercial and industrial loans for the periods presented.

Net interest income increased $381 million, or 34%, and increased $411 million, or 18%, for the three and six months ended June 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 ended June 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 $32.3 billion, or 19%, and increased $18.6 billion, or 11%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. An increase

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 ended June 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 ended June 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.

Noninterest expense	$1,305	$991	$314	32	%	$2,411	$2,009	$402	20	%

Noninterest expense increased $314 million, or 32%, and increased $402 million, or 20%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. 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 with FDIC 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 ended June 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 ended June 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 ended June 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. See Note 18 for additional information.

Consumer Banking

Net interest income increased $98 million, or 11%, and increased $92 million, or 5%, for the three and six months ended June 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 ended June 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.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 15

Noninterest expense increased $130 million, or 17%, and increased $164 million, or 11%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, reflecting higher salaries and employee benefits and other operating expense associated with increased travel and advertising costs, partially offset by the benefit of efficiency initiatives.

Net charge-offs decreased $6 million, or 13%, and decreased $16 million, or 15%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, as consumers continued to maintain a savings cushion, the economy approached full employment and residential mortgage and auto loan collateral values remained elevated.

Commercial Banking

Net interest income increased $115 million, or 27%, and increased $110 million, or 13%, for the three and six months ended June 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 Investors acquisition.

Noninterest income increased $43 million, or 24%, and increased $86 million, or 25%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, driven by higher foreign exchange and derivative products revenue, reflecting increased client activity across foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity products, partially offset by lower capital markets fees driven by lower bond underwriting fees.

Noninterest expense increased $82 million, or 36%, and increased $127 million, or 28%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, reflecting higher salaries and employee benefits and other operating expense associated with increased travel and advertising costs, partially offset by the benefit of efficiency initiatives.

Net charge-offs decreased $24 million, or 71%, and decreased $113 million, or 84%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, as credit performance remained strong.

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 of June 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 from December 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 of June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, the portfolio’s average effective duration was 5.7 years compared with 4.3 years as of December 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.

Retail NCOs reflected modest improvement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021, as consumers continued to maintain a savings cushion, the economy approached full employment and residential mortgage and automobile loan collateral values remained elevated. Commercial NCOs decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021, as credit performance remained strong.

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. As discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K, we utilize regulatory classification ratings to monitor credit quality for commercial loans and leases.

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 the New England, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. However, we do lend selectively in areas outside the footprint, primarily in automobile finance and education lending.

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. On December 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.

The increase in total deposits as of June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 is driven by $25.8 billion of period-end balances from the Investors acquisition and the HSBC transaction.

Borrowed Funds

Total borrowed funds of $18.2 billion as of June 30, 2022 increased $11.2 billion from December 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 on April 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 through September 30, 2022, is 3.4%. On June 23, 2022, the FRB notified us that based on the results of the 2022 CCAR supervisory stress tests, our preliminary SCB effective October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, will remain at 3.4%, with the FRB providing us with a final SCB by August 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 current U.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 the U.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 of June 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 ending December 31, 2021, followed by a three-year transition period ending December 31, 2024. The three-year transition period will phase-in the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. On December 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 the U.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 the U.S. Basel III Standardized rules:

(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

At June 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 of December 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 ended June 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. At June 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 the U.S. Basel III minimums.

Both the Company and CBNA are subject to the standardized approach for determining RWA. At June 30, 2022, RWA totaled $187.7 billion, up $28.9 billion from December 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.

As of June 30, 2022, the tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.3%, down from 9.7% at December 31, 2021, driven by an increase in quarterly adjusted average assets of $33.9 billion, partially offset by higher tier 1 capital.

•Declared quarterly dividends of $10.00 per share on the 4.000% fixed-rate reset non-cumulative perpetual Series G Preferred Stock, aggregating to $6 million.

On June 27, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors increased the authorization of common share repurchases to $1.0 billion, which was an increase of $545 million above the $455 million of capacity remaining under the prior $750 million January 2021 authorization. On July 19, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a three cent increase in our quarterly common stock dividend to $0.42 per share for the third quarter of 2022. All future capital distributions are subject to consideration and approval by our Board of Directors prior to execution. The timing and amount of future dividends and share repurchases will depend on 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.

Banking Subsidiary’s Capital


Table 20: CBNA's Capital Ratios Under the U.S. Basel III Standardized Rules
	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
(dollars in millions, except ratio data)	Amount	Ratio		Amount	Ratio
CET1 capital	$19,865	10.6	%	$17,039	10.7	%
Tier 1 capital	19,865	10.6		17,039	10.7
Total capital	22,661	12.1		19,600	12.4

Risk-weighted assets	187,359			158,550
Quarterly adjusted average assets	214,905			181,268

CBNA’s CET1 and tier 1 capital totaled $19.9 billion at June 30, 2022, up $2.8 billion from $17.0 billion at December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily related to the common stock issued in connection with the Investors acquisition and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by higher estimated goodwill and intangibles related to the Investors acquisition and the HSBC transaction and a decrease in the modified CECL transition amount as a result of entering the CECL three-year transition period. Total capital was $22.7 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $3.1 billion from $19.6 billion at December 31, 2021, driven by the changes in CET1 capital 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.

CBNA’s RWA totaled $187.4 billion at June 30, 2022, up $28.8 billion from December 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.

As of June 30, 2022, CBNA’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.2%, down from 9.4% at December 31, 2021, driven by an increase in quarterly adjusted average assets of $33.6 billion partially offset by higher tier 1 capital.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is defined as our ability to meet our cash-flow and collateral obligations in a timely manner, at a reasonable cost. An institution must maintain operating liquidity to meet its expected daily and forecasted cash-flow requirements, as well as contingent liquidity to meet unexpected (stress scenario) funding requirements. Reflecting the importance of meeting all unexpected and stress-scenario funding requirements, we identify and manage contingent liquidity, consisting of cash balances at the FRB, unencumbered high-quality liquid securities and unused FHLB borrowing capacity. Separately, we also identify and manage asset liquidity as a subset of contingent liquidity, consisting of cash balances at the FRB and unencumbered high-quality liquid securities. We consider the effective and prudent management of liquidity fundamental to our health and strength. We manage liquidity at the consolidated enterprise level and at each material legal entity, including at the Parent Company and CBNA level.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 26

Parent Company Liquidity

Our Parent Company’s primary sources of cash are dividends and interest received from CBNA as a result of investing in bank equity and subordinated debt as well as externally issued preferred stock, senior debt and subordinated debt. Uses of cash include the routine cash flow requirements as a bank holding company, including periodic share repurchases and payments of dividends, interest and expenses; the needs of subsidiaries, including CBNA for additional equity and, as required, its need for debt financing; and the support for extraordinary funding requirements when necessary. To the extent the Parent Company has relied on wholesale borrowings, uses also include payments of related principal and interest.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Parent Company completed the following transaction:

•Issued $400 million of 5.641% fixed-rate reset subordinated notes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Parent Company declared dividends on common stock of $195 million and $168 million, respectively, and declared dividends on preferred stock of $32 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Parent Company declared dividends on common stock of $360 million and $335 million, respectively, and declared dividends on preferred stock of $56 million and $55 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Parent Company repurchased $2 million and $95 million, respectively, of its outstanding common stock.

Our Parent Company’s cash and cash equivalents represent a source of liquidity that can be used to meet various needs and totaled $2.0 billion and $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Parent Company’s double-leverage ratio (the combined equity investment in Parent Company subsidiaries divided by Parent Company equity) is a measure of reliance on equity cash flows from subsidiaries to fund Parent Company obligations. The Parent Company’s double-leverage ratio was 100.4% and 98.5% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

CBNA Liquidity

As CBNA’s primary business involves taking deposits and making loans, a key role of liquidity management is to ensure that customers have timely access to funds from deposits and for loans. Liquidity management also involves maintaining sufficient liquidity to repay wholesale borrowings, pay operating expenses and support extraordinary funding requirements when necessary. In the ordinary course of business, the liquidity of CBNA is managed by matching sources and uses of cash. The primary sources of bank liquidity include deposits from our consumer and commercial customers; payments of principal and interest on loans and debt securities; and wholesale borrowings, as needed, and as described under “—Liquidity Risk Management and Governance.” The primary uses of bank liquidity include withdrawals and maturities of deposits; payment of interest on deposits; funding of loans and related commitments; and funding of securities purchases. To the extent that CBNA has relied on wholesale borrowings, uses also include payments of related principal and interest. For further information on CBNA’s outstanding debt, see Note 9.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, CBNA completed the following transactions:

•Issued $650 million of 4.119% fixed-to-floating rate senior notes; and

•Redeemed $1.0 billion and $750 million of senior notes due February and May 2022, respectively.

Liquidity Risk

We define liquidity risk as the risk that an entity will be unable to meet its payment obligations in a timely manner, at a reasonable cost. Liquidity risk can arise due to contingent liquidity risk and/or funding liquidity risk.

Contingent liquidity risk is the risk that market conditions may reduce an entity’s ability to liquidate, pledge and/or finance certain assets and thereby substantially reduce the liquidity value of such assets. Drivers of contingent liquidity risk include general market disruptions as well as specific issues regarding the credit quality and/or valuation of a security or loan, issuer or borrower and/or asset class.

Funding liquidity risk is the risk that market conditions and/or entity-specific events may reduce an entity’s ability to raise funds from depositors and/or wholesale market counterparties. Drivers of funding

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 27

liquidity risk may be idiosyncratic or systemic, reflecting impediments to operations and/or damaged market confidence.

Factors Affecting Liquidity

Given the composition of assets and borrowing sources, contingent liquidity risk at CBNA would be materially affected by events such as deterioration of financing markets for high-quality securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities and other instruments issued by the GNMA, FNMA and the FHLMC), by any inability of the FHLBs to provide collateralized advances and/or by a refusal of the FRB to act as a lender of last resort in systemic stress.

Similarly, given the structure of its balance sheet, the funding liquidity risk of CBNA would be materially affected by an adverse idiosyncratic event (e.g., a major loss, causing a perceived or actual deterioration in its financial condition), an adverse systemic event (e.g., default or bankruptcy of a significant capital markets participant), or a combination of both. Consequently, and despite ongoing exposure to a variety of idiosyncratic and systemic events, we view our contingent liquidity risk and our funding liquidity risk to be relatively modest.

An additional variable affecting our access to unsecured wholesale market funds and to large denomination (i.e., uninsured) customer deposits is the credit ratings assigned by such agencies as Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s, and Fitch.

Changes in our public credit ratings could affect both the cost and availability of our wholesale funding. As a result, and in order to maintain a conservative funding profile, CBNA continues to minimize reliance on unsecured wholesale funding. At June 30, 2022, our wholesale funding consisted primarily of term debt issued by the Parent Company and CBNA and collateralized advances from the FHLB.

Existing and evolving regulatory liquidity requirements represent another key driver of systemic liquidity conditions and liquidity management practices. The FRB, OCC, and FDIC regularly evaluate our liquidity as part of the overall supervisory process. In addition, we are subject to existing and evolving regulatory liquidity requirements, some of which are subject to further rulemaking, guidance and interpretation by the applicable federal regulators. For further discussion, see “Regulation and Supervision — Tailoring of Prudential Requirements” and “—Liquidity Requirements” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Liquidity Risk Management and Governance

Liquidity risk is measured and managed by the Funding and Liquidity unit within our Treasury unit in accordance with policy guidelines promulgated by our Board and the Asset Liability Committee. In managing liquidity risk, the Funding and Liquidity unit delivers regular and comprehensive reporting, including current levels versus threshold limits for a broad set of liquidity metrics and early warning indicators, explanatory commentary relating to emerging risk trends and, as appropriate, recommended remedial strategies.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 28

Our Funding and Liquidity unit’s primary goals are to deliver and maintain prudent levels of operating liquidity to support expected and projected funding requirements, contingent liquidity to support unexpected funding requirements resulting from idiosyncratic, systemic, and combination stress events, and regulatory liquidity requirements in a timely manner from stable and cost-efficient funding sources. We seek to accomplish these goals by funding loans with stable deposits; by prudently controlling dependence on wholesale funding, particularly short-term unsecured funding; and by maintaining ample available liquidity, including a contingent liquidity buffer of unencumbered high-quality loans and securities. As of June 30, 2022:

•Organically generated deposits continue to be our primary source of funding, resulting in a consolidated period end loan-to-deposits ratio, excluding LHFS, of 87.3%;

•Our total available liquidity, comprised of contingent liquidity and available discount window capacity, was approximately $66.5 billion;

◦Contingent liquidity was $39.8 billion, consisting of unencumbered high-quality liquid securities of $26.9 billion, unused FHLB capacity of $7.9 billion, and our cash balances at the FRB of $5.0 billion; and

◦Available discount window capacity, defined as available total borrowing capacity from the FRB based on identified collateral, is secured primarily by non-mortgage commercial and retail loans and totaled $26.7 billion. Use of this borrowing capacity would be considered only during exigent circumstances.

For a summary of our sources and uses of cash by type of activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Funding and Liquidity unit monitors a variety of liquidity and funding metrics and early warning indicators and metrics, including specific risk thresholds limits. These monitoring tools are broadly classified as follows:

•Current liquidity sources and capacities, including cash balances at the FRB, free and liquid securities, and secured FHLB borrowing capacity;

•Liquidity stress sources, including idiosyncratic, systemic and combined stresses, in addition to evolving regulatory requirements; and

•Current and prospective exposures, including secured and unsecured wholesale funding, and spot and cumulative cash-flow gaps across a variety of horizons.

Further, certain of these metrics are monitored individually for CBNA and for our consolidated enterprise on a daily basis, including cash position, unencumbered securities, asset liquidity and available FHLB borrowing capacity. In order to identify emerging trends and risks and inform funding decisions, specific metrics are also forecasted over a one-year horizon.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We engage in a variety of activities that are not reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets that are generally referred to as “off-balance sheet arrangements.” For more information on these types of activities, see Note 13 in Item 1.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to establish accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

An accounting estimate requires assumptions and judgments about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are made using facts and circumstances known at a point in time. Changes in those facts and circumstances could produce results substantially different from those estimates. Our most significant accounting policies and estimates and their related application are discussed below. For additional information regarding fair value measurements, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL increased from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2021 to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2022.

To determine the ACL as of June 30, 2022, we utilized an economic forecast that generally reflects real GDP growth on an annual average basis of 2.1% and an average unemployment rate of 4.3% in 2022. This forecast incorporates the risk of a mild recession beginning in the latter half of the year. This compares to our December 31, 2021 forecast which reflected real GDP growth on an annual average basis of 2.8% and an average unemployment rate of 6% in 2022.

To address economic uncertainty, we utilize our qualitative allowance framework to reassess and adjust ACL reserve levels. Macroeconomic forecast risk, driven by uncertainty around and volatility of key macroeconomic variables, is one of the primary factors influencing our qualitative reserve.

Our June 2022 qualitative consideration for macroeconomic risk reflects the Federal Reserve’s aggressively tightening monetary policy and the contraction of fiscal policy, as pandemic-related support winds down. These conditions, weighed together with the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on key global commodity prices, labor shortage-related wage increases and continuing supply-chain challenges contributing to surging inflation, possibly may push the U.S. economy into a mild recession and create volatility in key macroeconomic variables, including GDP and employment.

Our determination of the ACL is sensitive to changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions during the reasonable and supportable forecast period. To illustrate the sensitivity, we applied a more pessimistic scenario than that described above which assumes that monetary tightening triggers real GDP contraction to three consecutive quarters, resulting in a quarter percent drop in real GDP over 2022. Employment contracts accordingly, with an annual average unemployment rate of 4.4%. Excluding consideration of qualitative adjustments, this scenario would result in a quantitative lifetime loss estimate of approximately 1.12x our modeled period-end ACL, or an increase of approximately $175 million. This analysis relates only to the modeled credit loss estimate and not to the overall period-end ACL, which includes qualitative adjustments.

Because several quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in determining the ACL, this sensitivity analysis does not necessarily reflect the nature and extent of future changes in the ACL or even what the ACL would be under these economic circumstances. The sensitivity is intended to provide insights into the impact of adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment and the corresponding impact to modeled loss estimates. The hypothetical determination does not incorporate the impact of management judgment or other qualitative factors that could be applied in the actual estimation of the ACL and does not imply any expectation of future deterioration in our loss rates.

It remains difficult to estimate how changes in economic forecasts might affect our ACL because such forecasts consider a wide variety of variables and inputs, and changes in the variables and inputs may not occur at the same time or in the same direction, and such changes may have differing impacts by product types. The variables and inputs may be idiosyncratically affected by risks to the economy, including changing monetary and fiscal policies and their impact on inflationary trends, as well as continuing supply-chain challenges. Changes in one or multiple of the key variables may have a material impact to our estimation of expected credit losses.

For additional information regarding the ACL, see Note 5 of this report, and “—Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” and Note 6 in our 2021 Form 10-K.

RISK GOVERNANCE

We are committed to maintaining a strong, integrated, and proactive approach to the management of all risks to which we are exposed in pursuit of our business objectives. A key aspect of our Board’s responsibility as the main decision making body is setting our risk appetite to ensure that the levels of risk that we are willing to accept in the attainment of our strategic business and financial objectives are clearly understood.

To enable our Board to carry out its objectives, it has delegated authority for risk management activities, as well as governance and oversight of those activities, to a number of Board and executive management level risk committees. The Executive Risk Committee, chaired by the Chief Risk Officer, is responsible for oversight of risk across the enterprise and actively considers our inherent material risks, analyzes our overall risk profile and seeks confirmation that the risks are being appropriately identified, assessed and mitigated. Reporting to the Executive Risk Committee are the following committees covering specific areas of risk: Compliance and Operational Risk Committee, Model Risk Committee, Credit Policy Committee, Asset Liability Committee, Business Initiatives Review Committee, and the Conduct and Ethics Committee.

There have been no significant changes in our risk governance practices, risk framework, risk appetite, or credit risk as described in “—Risk Governance” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 31

MARKET RISK

Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and/or other relevant market rates or prices. Modest market risk arises from trading activities that serve customer needs, including hedging of interest rate and foreign exchange risk. As described below, more material market risk arises from our non-trading banking activities, such as loan origination and deposit-gathering. We have established enterprise-wide policies and methodologies to identify, measure, monitor and report market risk. We actively manage market risk for both non-trading and trading activities.

Non-Trading Risk

We are exposed to market risk as a result of non-trading banking activities. This market risk is substantially composed of interest rate risk, as we have no commodity risk and de minimis direct currency and equity risk. We also have market risk related to capital markets loan originations, as well as the valuation of our MSRs. There have been no significant changes in our sources of interest rate risk, interest rate risk practices, risk framework, metrics or assumptions as described in “—Market Risk — Non-Trading Risk” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

The table below reports net interest income exposures against a variety of interest rate scenarios. Our policies involve measuring exposures as a percentage change in net interest income over the next year due to either instantaneous or gradual parallel changes in rates relative to the market implied forward yield curve. As the following table illustrates, our balance sheet is asset-sensitive; net interest income would benefit from an increase in interest rates, while exposure to a decline in interest rates is within limit. While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates is included in this analysis, we believe that any actual shift in interest rates would likely be more gradual and therefore have a more modest impact.

The table below presents the sensitivity of net interest income to various parallel yield curve shifts from the market implied forward yield curve:


Table 22: Sensitivity of Net Interest Income
	Estimated % Change in Net Interest Income over 12 Months
Basis points	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Instantaneous Change in Interest Rates
200	3.8	%	19.4	%
100	1.6		10.2

-100	(2.4)		(8.5)
Gradual Change in Interest Rates
200	2.6	%	10.1	%
100	1.9		5.2

-100	(0.9)		(6.0)

We continue to manage asset sensitivity within the scope of our policy, changing market conditions and changes in our balance sheet. Asset sensitivity against a 200 basis point gradual increase in rates was 2.6% at June 30, 2022, compared to 10.1% at December 31, 2021. The change reflects the effects of rising base net interest income, including the impact of the Investors acquisition, and our ongoing hedge activity which locks in higher forward rates and reduces our exposure to evolving downside risks. Current levels of asset sensitivity will continue to provide upside benefits to net interest income as we progress through a period of expected higher short-term policy rates from the FRB. Changes in interest rates can also affect the risk positions, which impacts the repricing sensitivity or beta of the deposit base as well as the cash flows on assets that allow for early payoff without a penalty. The risk position is managed within our risk limits, and long-term view of interest rates through occasional adjustments to securities investments, interest rate swaps and mix of funding.

We use a valuation measure of exposure to structural interest rate risk, EVE, as a supplement to net interest income simulations. EVE complements net interest income simulation analysis as it estimates risk exposure over a long-term horizon. EVE measures the extent to which the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments may change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. This analysis is highly dependent upon assumptions applied to assets and liabilities with non-contractual maturities. The change in value is expressed as a percentage of regulatory capital.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 32

We use interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate exposure to variability in the interest cash flows on our floating-rate assets and floating-rate wholesale funding, and to hedge market risk on fixed-rate capital markets debt issuances.

(1) We use interest rate contracts as part of our Asset Liability Management (“ALM”) strategy to manage exposure to the variability in the interest cash flows on our floating-rate commercial loans and wholesale funding, as well as the variability in the fair value of AFS securities and loans held for sale.

(2) As of June 30, 2022, includes $5.0 billion of forward-starting cash-flow swaps that will become effective by the second quarter of 2023, and a $680 million forward-starting fair-value swap that will become effective in the third quarter of 2022.

(1) Using the interest rate curve at June 30, 2022 with respect to cash flow hedge strategies, we estimate that approximately ($334) million will be reclassified from AOCI to net interest income over the next 12 months.

LIBOR Transition

For details regarding our LIBOR Transition Program and associated efforts to plan for the discontinuation of LIBOR, see “—Market Risk — LIBOR Transition” in our 2021 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes relative to the program during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Capital Markets

A key component of our capital markets activities is the underwriting and distribution of corporate credit facilities to finance merger and acquisition transactions for our clients. We have a rigorous risk management process around these activities, including a limit structure capping our underwriting risk, our potential loss, and sub-limits for specific asset classes. Further, the ability to approve underwriting exposure is delegated only to senior level individuals in the credit risk management and capital markets organizations with each transaction adjudicated in the Loan Underwriting Approval Committee.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

We have market risk associated with the value of residential MSRs, which are impacted by various types of inherent risks, including duration, basis, convexity, volatility and yield curve.

As part of our overall risk management strategy relative to the fair market value of the MSRs, we enter into various free-standing derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, interest rate futures, and forward contracts to purchase mortgage-backed securities to economically hedge the changes in fair value. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our MSRs was $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, and the total notional amount of related derivative contracts was $9.8 billion and $11.8 billion, respectively. Gains and losses on MSRs and the related derivatives used for hedging are included in mortgage banking fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As with our traded market risk-based activities, earnings at risk excludes the impact of MSRs. MSRs are captured under our single price risk management framework that is used for calculating a management value at risk that is consistent with the definition used by banking regulators.

Trading Risk

We are exposed to market risk primarily through client facilitation activities including derivatives and foreign exchange products as well as underwriting and market making activities. Exposure is created as a result of changes in interest rates and related basis spreads and volatility, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and credit spreads on a select range of interest rates, foreign exchange, commodities, equity securities, corporate bonds and secondary loan instruments. These securities underwriting and trading activities are conducted through CBNA, CCMI and JMP. There have been no significant changes in our market risk governance, market risk measurement, or market risk practices including VaR, stressed VaR, sensitivity analysis, stress testing, or VaR model review and validation as described in “—Market Risk — Trading Risk” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Market Risk Regulatory Capital

The U.S. banking regulators’ “Market Risk Rule” covers the calculation of market risk capital. For the purposes of the Market Risk Rule, all of our client facing trades and associated hedges maintain a net low risk and qualify as “covered positions.” The internal management VaR measure is calculated based on the same population of trades that is utilized for regulatory VaR.

VaR Backtesting

Backtesting is one form of validation of the VaR model and is run daily. The Market Risk Rule requires a comparison of our internal VaR measure to the actual net trading revenue (excluding fees, commissions, reserves, intra-day trading and net interest income) for each day over the preceding year (the most recent 250 business days). Any observed loss in excess of the VaR number is taken as an exception. The level of exceptions determines the multiplication factor used to derive the VaR and SVaR-based capital requirement for regulatory reporting purposes, when applicable. We perform sub-portfolio backtesting as required under the Market Risk Rule, using models approved by our banking regulators, for interest rate, credit spread and foreign exchange positions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes presented in this document, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP interim reporting requirements and, therefore, do not include all information and Notes included in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented in this document should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. The Company’s principal business activity is banking, conducted through its banking subsidiary CBNA.

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Citizens and subsidiaries in which Citizens has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company has evaluated its unconsolidated entities and does not believe that any entity in which it has an interest, but does not currently consolidate, meets the requirements to be consolidated as a variable interest entity. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the ACL.

Significant Accounting Policies

For further information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 1 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of HSBC

On February 18, 2022, CBNA closed on its previously announced HSBC transaction, which included 66 branches in the New York City metropolitan area, 9 branches in the Mid-Atlantic/Washington D.C. area, and 5 branches in Southeast Florida. The acquired liabilities and assets included approximately $6.3 billion in deposits and $1.5 billion in loans. The transaction resulted in an estimated increase to goodwill of approximately $119 million, which was allocated to the Consumer business segment as of June 30, 2022.

The Company’s second quarter results reflect the full quarter benefit of the HSBC transaction, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflect the benefit of the HSBC transaction from the closing date of the transaction. The impact of the HSBC transaction, along with supplemental pro forma information as if the HSBC transaction had occurred on January 1, 2021, are not material to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The HSBC transaction has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from HSBC were recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and are subject to change. Fair value estimates related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from HSBC are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from HSBC are not material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and are deemed to be final.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 45

Investors acquisition

On April 6, 2022, Citizens completed its previously announced Investors acquisition pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger entered into on July 28, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Investors merged with Citizens, with Citizens as the surviving corporation, and Investors Bank, a New Jersey state-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Investors, merged with CBNA, with CBNA as the surviving bank. The Investors acquisition builds Citizens’ physical presence in the Mid-Atlantic region with the addition of 154 branches located in the greater New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas and across New Jersey.

The results of Investors’ operations are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 from the closing date of the acquisition.

Upon closing of the acquisition, each share of Investors common stock was converted into 0.297 of a share of the Company’s common stock. This conversion, coupled with the conversion of equity awards noted below under “—Share-Based Compensation Activity”, resulted in an increase of approximately 73.6 million basic and diluted shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, 68.6 million average shares were included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation, resulting from the Investors acquisition. The Company also paid $1.46 in cash to shareholders of Investors for each share they owned.

The Investors acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Investors were recorded at fair value as of the closing date. The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and are subject to change. Fair value estimates related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Investors are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the closing date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date.

Citizens considers its valuations of loans and leases, premises and equipment, and the core deposit intangible to be preliminary as of June 30, 2022. Accordingly, the amounts recorded for current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are also considered preliminary, as Citizens continues to evaluate the nature and extent of differences between the book and tax bases of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. While the Company believes the information available as of April 6, 2022 provides a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, additional information may become available that would result in adjustments to the fair values presented, although any such adjustments are not expected to be material. Any adjustments identified during the one year period subsequent to the closing date will be recognized in the corresponding reporting period.

Share-Based Compensation Activity

Under the terms of the merger agreement with Investors, stock options and restricted shares granted by Investors that were outstanding as of April 6, 2022 were converted into CFG awards and remain subject to their original terms and conditions. Citizens issued 1,151,301 stock options and 259,316 restricted shares in connection with the transaction.

The fair value of stock option awards was measured using a lattice model as of the closing date. The portion of the fair value of the awards being replaced which was attributable to service prior to the merger was included as a component of the consideration paid in the merger.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 46

The following table includes a preliminary allocation of the consideration paid for the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Investors:


(in millions, except share and per share data)			April 6, 2022
Consideration
CFG common shares issued			72,148,855
CFG share price on April 6, 2022			$42.08
Fair value of consideration for outstanding common stock			$3,036
Cash paid			355
Consideration related to equity awards			19
Fair value of merger consideration			3,410

Assets acquired
Cash and equivalents			287
Investment securities			3,825
Loans held for sale			2,183
Net loans and leases			20,158
Premises and equipment			123
Core deposit intangible and other intangible assets			119
Other assets			882
Total assets acquired			27,577
Liabilities assumed
Deposits			20,217
Borrowed funds			4,097
Other liabilities			652
Total liabilities assumed			24,966
Less: Net assets			2,611
Goodwill			$799

Preliminary goodwill of $799 million recorded in connection with the acquisition resulted from the expected synergies, operational efficiencies and expertise of Investors. The amount of goodwill recorded reflects the increased market share and related synergies that are expected to result from the acquisition, and represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired from Investors. The goodwill was allocated to each of our two business operating segments on a preliminary basis and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible assets from the Investors acquisition consist of core deposits and naming rights. For additional information on these intangibles and goodwill see Note 7.

The following table includes the fair value and unpaid principal balance of the loans acquired from Investors:


	April 6, 2022
(in millions)	Unpaid Principal Balance	Fair Value
Commercial and industrial	$3,021	$2,902
Commercial real estate	13,310	13,082
Leases	9	9
Total commercial	16,340	15,993
Residential mortgages	3,949	3,887
Home equity	267	274
Other retail	4	4
Total retail	4,220	4,165
Net loans and leases	$20,560	$20,158

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 47

Fair value is estimated as of April 6, 2022 and reflects a credit mark of $101 million on PCD loans recorded through purchase accounting, and an accretable discount of $300 million comprised of $159 million in interest rate mark and $141 million in non-PCD credit mark.

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair value of significant assets and liabilities:

Cash and Equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.

Investment Securities

Fair value estimates for AFS securities were determined by third-party pricing vendors. The third-party vendors use a variety of methods when pricing securities that incorporate relevant market data to arrive at an estimate of what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security under current market conditions. These methods include the use of quoted prices for an identical or similar security and an alternative market-based or income approach like the discounted cash flow pricing model. Substantially all of the investment securities acquired in connection with the Investors acquisition were sold subsequent to closing to align with Citizens’ portfolio management strategy.

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are valued based on quoted market prices, where available, prices for other traded loans with similar characteristics, and purchase commitments and bid information from market participants. The prices are adjusted as necessary to take into consideration the specific characteristics of certain loans that are priced based on the pricing of similar loans.

Loans and Leases

Fair values for loans and leases are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including type of loan and lease and related collateral, fixed or variable interest rate, term, amortization status, credit loss and prepayment expectations, market interest rates and other market factors (e.g., liquidity) from the perspective of a market participant. Loans and leases were grouped together according to similar characteristics when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and leases and include adjustments for liquidity. The probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default and prepayment assumptions are the key factors driving credit losses which are embedded into the estimated cash flows.

Premises and Equipment

Fair value of premises is based on a market approach using third-party appraisals and broker opinions of value for land, office and branch space.

Core Deposit Intangible

Fair value of core deposit intangible represents the value of certain client deposit relationships, estimated utilizing the favorable source of funds method. Appropriate consideration was given to deposit costs including servicing costs, client retention and alternative funding source costs at the time of acquisition. The discount rate used was derived taking into account the estimated cost of equity, risk-free return rate and risk premium for the market, and specific risk related to the asset’s cash flows. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over 10 years using an accelerated depreciation methodology.

Deposits

Fair value of time deposits was estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities. For deposits with no defined maturity, carrying value approximates fair value.

Borrowed Funds

The fair value of borrowed funds was estimated by using a discounted cash flow methodology based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 48

The following table presents the financial results of Investors included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2022:


(in millions)			April 6, 2022 through June 30, 2022
Net interest income			$232

(1) Excludes the acceleration of one-time executive compensation and Employee Stock Ownership Plan expenses of $122 million incurred by Investors in the first quarter of 2022.

In addition, the supplemental pro forma financial information includes non-recurring acquisition-related costs of $268 million and $275 million, respectively, incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as summarized in the following table. These costs, along with the $13 million incurred during 2021, are included in the first quarter of 2021 for the purpose of reporting supplemental pro forma financial information presented above.

Salaries and employee benefits(2)	61	61

Outside services(3)	29	36
Mark-to-market losses on LHFS portfolio(4)	31	31
Other operating expense	2	2
Total acquisition-related costs	$268	$275

(1) Represents the initial provision for credit losses also recognized through a fair value mark as required by purchase accounting.

(2) Comprised primarily of severance and employee retention costs.

(3) Comprised primarily of technology, legal, advisory, and other professional related fees.

(4) Represents mark-to-market losses on loans acquired from Investors classified as LHFS.

Under CECL, Citizens is required to determine whether purchased loans held for investment have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. Citizens considers a variety of factors in connection with the identification of more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality including, but not limited to, nonperforming status, delinquency, risk ratings, TDR classification, FICO scores and other qualitative factors. Citizens initially measures the amortized cost of a PCD loan by adding the acquisition date estimate of expected credit losses to the loan's purchase price. The initial ALLL for PCD loans of $101 million was established through an adjustment to the Investors loan balance and related purchase accounting mark. Non-PCD loans and PCD loans had a fair value of $15.7 billion and $4.5 billion at the acquisition date and unpaid principal balance of $15.9 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. In accordance with U.S. GAAP there was no carryover of the ACL that had been previously recorded by Investors. Subsequent to the acquisition, Citizens recorded an ACL on non-PCD loans of $145 million through provision expense for credit losses.

Acquisition of DH Capital

On June 8, 2022, Citizens completed the acquisition of DH Capital, a private investment banking firm serving companies in the internet infrastructure, software, IT services and communications sectors. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with this acquisition are not material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022.

The impact of the DH Capital acquisition, along with supplemental pro forma information as if the DH Capital acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, are not material to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Securitizations of mortgage loans retained in the investment portfolio were $40 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Securitizations of mortgage loans retained in the investment portfolio were $82 million and $163 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. These securitizations include a substantive guarantee by a third party. The guarantors were FNMA and FHLMC in 2022 and 2021, and also included GNMA in 2021. The debt securities received from the guarantors are classified as AFS.

Impairment

The Company evaluated its existing HTM portfolio as of June 30, 2022 and concluded that in excess of 90% of HTM securities met the zero expected credit loss criteria and, therefore, no ACL was recognized. Lifetime expected credit losses on the remainder of the HTM portfolio were determined to be insignificant based on the modeling of the Company’s credit loss position in the securities. The Company monitors the credit exposure through the use of credit quality indicators. For these securities, the Company uses external credit ratings or an internally derived credit rating when an external rating is not available. All securities were determined to be investment grade at June 30, 2022.

The following tables present AFS debt securities with fair values below their respective carrying values, separated by the duration the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

Citizens does not currently have the intent to sell these debt securities, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost bases. Citizens has determined that credit losses are not expected to be incurred on the U.S. Treasury securities, agency MBS, non-agency MBS, and CLOs identified with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2022. The unrealized losses on these debt securities reflect non-credit-related factors driven by changes in interest rates. Therefore, the Company has determined that these debt securities are not impaired.

NOTE 5 - ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES, NONACCRUAL LOANS AND LEASES, AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Allowance for Credit Losses

Recorded in the ACL is management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the Company’s loan and lease portfolios. See Note 6 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of the ACL reserve methodology and estimation techniques as of December 31, 2021. There were no significant changes to the ACL reserve methodology during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 53

The following table presents a summary of changes in the ACL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022:


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2022			Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
(in millions)	Commercial	Retail	Total	Commercial	Retail	Total
Allowance for loan and lease losses, beginning of period	$778	$942	$1,720	$821	$937	$1,758

Allowance for loan and lease losses, end of period	987	977	1,964	987	977	1,964

Total allowance for credit losses, end of period	$1,153	$994	$2,147	$1,153	$994	$2,147

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, excludes $33 million of charge-offs previously taken by Investors or recognized upon completion of the Investors acquisition under purchase accounting. The initial allowance for loan and lease losses on PCD assets included these amounts and, after charging these amounts off upon acquisition, the net impact for PCD assets was $101 million of additional allowance for loan and lease losses.

(2) Includes $145 million and $169 million of initial provision expense related to non-PCD loans and leases acquired from Investors and HSBC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net charge-offs of $108 million, the ACL on PCD loans and leases and unfunded lending commitments at acquisition of $102 million, and a credit provision of $219 million resulted in an increase of $213 million to the ACL.

To determine the ACL as of June 30, 2022, the Company utilized an economic forecast that generally reflects real GDP growth on an annual average basis of 2.1% and an average unemployment rate of 4.3% in 2022. This forecast incorporates the risk of a mild recession beginning in the latter half of the year. This compares to the Company’s December 31, 2021 forecast which reflected real GDP growth on an annual average basis of 2.8% and an average unemployment rate of 6% in 2022.

To address economic uncertainty, the Company utilizes a qualitative allowance framework to reassess and adjust ACL reserve levels. Macroeconomic forecast risk, driven by uncertainty around and volatility of key macroeconomic variables, is one of the primary factors influencing the Company’s qualitative reserve.

The Company’s June 2022 qualitative consideration for macroeconomic risk reflects the Federal Reserve’s aggressively tightening monetary policy and the contraction of fiscal policy, as pandemic-related support winds down. These conditions, weighed together with the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on key global commodity prices, labor shortage-related wage increases and continuing supply-chain challenges contributing to surging inflation, possibly may push the U.S. economy into a mild recession and create volatility in key macroeconomic variables, including GDP and employment.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company presents loan and lease portfolio segments and classes by credit quality indicator and vintage year. Citizens defines the vintage date for the purpose of this disclosure as the date of the most recent credit decision. In general, renewals are categorized as new credit decisions and reflect the renewal date as the vintage date. Loans modified in a TDR are considered a continuation of the original loan and vintage date corresponds with the most recent credit decision.

For commercial loans and leases, Citizens utilizes regulatory classification ratings to monitor credit quality. The assignment of regulatory classification ratings occurs at loan origination and are periodically re-evaluated by Citizens utilizing a risk-based approach, including any time management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers' ability to fulfill their obligations. The review process considers both quantitative and qualitative factors. Loans with a “pass” rating are those that the Company believes will fully repay in accordance with the contractual loan terms. Commercial loans and leases identified as “criticized” have some weakness or potential weakness that indicate an increased probability of future loss. Citizens groups “criticized” loans into three categories, “special mention,” “substandard,” and “doubtful.” Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the Company’s credit position at some future date. Substandard loans are inadequately protected loans; these loans have well-defined weaknesses that could hinder normal repayment or collection of the debt. Doubtful loans have the same weaknesses as substandard, with the added characteristic that the possibility of loss is high and collection of the full amount of the loan is improbable.

For retail loans, Citizens utilizes FICO credit scores and the loan’s payment and delinquency status to monitor credit quality. Management believes FICO scores are the strongest indicator of credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and assist management in predicting the borrower’s future payment performance. Scores are based on current and historical national industry-wide consumer level credit performance data.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s lending activity is with customers located in the New England, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. Generally, loans are collateralized by assets including real estate, inventory, accounts receivable, other personal property and investment securities. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Citizens had a significant amount of loans collateralized by residential and commercial real estate. There were no significant concentration risks within the commercial or retail loan portfolios. Exposure to credit losses arising from lending transactions may fluctuate with fair values of collateral supporting loans, which may not perform according to contractual agreements. The Company’s policy is to collateralize loans to the extent necessary; however, unsecured loans are also granted on the basis of the financial strength of the applicant and facts surrounding the transaction.

NOTE 6 - MORTGAGE BANKING AND OTHER

The Company sells residential mortgages into the secondary market. The Company retains no beneficial interests in these sales, but may retain the servicing rights for the loans sold. The Company may exercise its option to repurchase eligible government guaranteed residential mortgages or may be obligated to subsequently repurchase a loan if the purchaser discovers a representation or warranty violation such as noncompliance with eligibility or servicing requirements, or customer fraud that should have been identified in a loan file review.

The following table summarizes activity related to residential mortgage loans sold with servicing rights retained:

(1) Includes government insured or guaranteed loans eligible for repurchase through the exercise of our removal of account provision option.

(2) Reported in mortgage banking fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans related to our MSR was $95.5 billion and $90.2 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company manages an active hedging strategy to manage the risk associated with changes in the value of the MSR portfolio, which includes the purchase of freestanding derivatives.

The following table summarizes changes in MSRs recorded using the fair value method:


	As of and for the Three Months Ended June 30,		As of and for the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2022	2021	2022	2021

Changes in unpaid principal balance during the period(1)	(32)	(47)	(71)	(105)
Changes in fair value during the period(2)	107	(66)	263	140
Fair value at end of the period	$1,411	$902	$1,411	$902

(1) Represents changes in value of the MSRs due to i) passage of time including the impact from both regularly scheduled loan principal payments and partial

paydowns, and ii) loans that paid off during the period.

(2) Represents changes in value primarily driven by market conditions. These changes are recorded in mortgage banking fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of MSRs is estimated by using the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, contractual servicing fee income, servicing costs, default rates, ancillary income, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market interest rates. The valuation does not attempt to forecast or predict the future direction of interest rates.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 63

The sensitivity analysis below presents the impact to the current MSR fair value of an immediate 10% and 20% adverse change in key economic assumptions. These sensitivities are hypothetical, with the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs calculated independently without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (e.g., changes in interest rates, which drive changes in prepayment rates, could result in changes in the discount rates), which may amplify or counteract the sensitivities. The primary risk inherent in the Company’s MSRs is an increase in prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans serviced, which is largely dependent upon movements in market interest rates.


(dollars in millions)	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
Fair value	$1,411	$1,029
Weighted average life (years)	8.5	6.4
Weighted average constant prepayment rate	7.6%	10.7%

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is the purchase premium associated with the acquisition of a business and is assigned to the Company’s reporting units at the acquisition date. A reporting unit is a business operating segment or a component of a business operating segment. Citizens has identified and assigned goodwill to two reporting units - Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking - based upon reviews of the structure of the Company’s executive team and supporting functions, resource allocations and financial reporting processes. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or organically grown, are available to support the value of the goodwill. For additional information on goodwill see Note 26 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 64

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are presented below.


(in millions)	Consumer Banking	Commercial Banking	Total
Balance at December 31, 2021	$2,258	$4,858	$7,116
Business acquisitions	319	646	965
Balance at June 30, 2022	$2,577	$5,504	$8,081

Goodwill increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of the Investors and DH Capital acquisitions and the HSBC transaction. Goodwill for the Investors acquisition was allocated between the Consumer and Commercial segments, and goodwill for the DH Capital acquisition was allocated to the Commercial segment. Both allocations are preliminary and subject to change. Goodwill for the HSBC transaction was allocated to the Consumer segment and is considered final. For additional information regarding the Investors and DH Capital acquisitions and the HSBC transaction see Note 2.

A summary of the carrying value of intangible assets is presented below.

(1) Includes $97 million and $47 million of core deposits from the Investors acquisition and the HSBC transaction, respectively, and $22 million of naming rights from the Investors acquisition.

Intangible assets from the Investors acquisition and the HSBC transaction, consisting of core deposits and naming rights, are the primary driver of the increase in intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s intangible assets are being amortized. Amortization expense recognized on intangible assets was $12 million and $17 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $2 million and $5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company’s projection of amortization expense is based on balances as of June 30, 2022, including estimated amounts related to the Investors and DH Capital acquisitions. Future amortization expense may vary from these projections.

Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the remainder of 2022 and the next five years is as follows:

The Parent Company’s long-term borrowed funds as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included principal balances of $3.6 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, and unamortized deferred issuance costs and/or discounts of $79 million and $80 million, respectively. CBNA and other subsidiaries’ long-term borrowed funds as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included principal balances of $10.9 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, with unamortized deferred issuance costs and/or discounts of $6 million and $7 million, respectively, and hedging basis adjustments of ($9) million and $42 million, respectively. See Note 10 for further information about the Company’s hedging of certain long-term borrowed funds.

Advances, lines of credit and letters of credit from the FHLB are collateralized primarily by residential mortgages and home equity products at least sufficient to satisfy the collateral maintenance level established by the FHLB. The utilized borrowing capacity for FHLB advances and letters of credit was $19.6 billion and $2.3 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s available FHLB borrowing capacity was $7.9 billion and $15.9 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Citizens can also borrow from the FRB discount window to meet short-term liquidity requirements. Collateral, including certain loans, is pledged to support this borrowing capacity. At June 30, 2022, the Company’s unused secured borrowing capacity was approximately $61.5 billion, which includes unencumbered securities, FHLB borrowing capacity, and FRB discount window capacity.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES

In the normal course of business, Citizens enters into a variety of derivative transactions to meet the financing and hedging needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These transactions include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate options, foreign exchange contracts, residential loan commitment rate locks, interest rate future contracts, swaptions, certain commodities, forward commitments to sell TBAs, forward sale contracts and purchase options. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. Information regarding the valuation methodology and inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is described in Note 20 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

The following table presents derivative instruments included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Total net derivative fair values presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		$1,669	$1,004		$1,216	$197

(1) The notional or contractual amount of interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts is the amount upon which interest and other payments under the contract are based. For interest rate contracts, the notional amount is typically not exchanged. Therefore, notional amounts should not be taken as the measure of credit or market risk, as they do not measure the true economic risk of these contracts.

(2) Amounts represent the impact of enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to net settle positive and negative positions as well as collateral paid and received.

The Company’s derivative transactions are internally divided into three sub-groups: institutional, customer and residential loan. Certain derivative transactions within these sub-groups are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges, as described below:

Derivatives Designated As Hedging Instruments

The Company’s institutional derivatives qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The net interest accruals on interest rate swaps designated in a fair value or cash flow hedge relationship are treated as an adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the item being hedged. The Company formally documents all hedging relationships at inception, as well as risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 68

accounting hedges. Additionally, the Company monitors the effectiveness of its hedge relationships during the duration of the hedge period. The methods utilized to assess hedge effectiveness vary based on the hedge relationship and the Company monitors each relationship to ensure that management’s initial intent continues to be satisfied. The Company discontinues hedge accounting treatment when it is determined that a derivative is not expected to be, or has ceased to be, effective as a hedge and subsequently reflects changes in the fair value of the derivative in earnings after termination of the hedge relationship.

Fair Value Hedges

As of June 30, 2022, Citizens has outstanding interest rate swap agreements utilized to manage the interest rate exposure on its long-term borrowings and loans held for sale. Certain fair value hedges were designated as a last-of-layer hedge during the six months ended June 30, 2022, but are no longer active as of June 30, 2022. These hedges afforded the Company the ability to execute a fair value hedge of the interest rate risk associated with a portfolio of similar prepayable assets whereby the last dollar amount estimated to remain in the portfolio of assets is identified as the hedged item.

The following table presents the change in fair value of interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges, as well as the change in fair value of the related hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged, included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,

(1) The Company designated $2.0 billion as the hedged amount (from a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets with an amortized cost basis of $6.0 billion as of December 31, 2021) in a last-of-layer hedging relationship, which commenced in the third quarter of 2019 and was terminated in the first quarter of 2022.

Cash Flow Hedges

Citizens has outstanding interest rate swap agreements designed to hedge a portion of the Company’s floating-rate assets and liabilities. All of these swaps have been deemed highly effective cash flow hedges. During the next 12 months, there are $334 million in pre-tax net losses on derivative instruments included in OCI expected to be reclassified to net interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to June 30, 2022.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments

Economic Hedges

The Company’s economic hedges include those related to offsetting customer derivatives, residential mortgage loan derivatives (including interest rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments) and derivatives to hedge its residential MSR portfolio. Customer derivatives include interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity derivative contracts designed to meet the hedging and financing needs of the Company’s customers, and are economically hedged by the Company to offset its market exposure. Interest rate lock commitments on residential mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative instruments, and are economically hedged by entering into forward sale commitments to manage changes in fair value due to interest rate risk. Residential MSR portfolio derivatives are entered to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of the Company’s MSRs.

The following table presents the effect of economic hedges on noninterest income:

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

A summary of outstanding off-balance sheet arrangements is presented below. For more information on these arrangements, see Note 19 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.


(in millions)	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
Commitments to extend credit	$91,778	$84,206
Letters of credit	2,101	1,998
Risk participation agreements	14	39

Total	$94,148	$86,351

Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers in accordance with conditions contractually agreed upon in advance. Generally, the commitments have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements.

Letters of Credit

Letters of credit in the table above reflect commercial, standby financial and standby performance letters of credit. Financial and performance standby letters of credit are issued by the Company for the benefit of its customers. They are used as conditional guarantees of payment to a third party in the event the customer either fails to make specific payments (financial) or fails to complete a specific project (performance). The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of counterparty nonperformance in connection with the above instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Generally, letters of credit are collateralized by cash, accounts receivable, inventory or investment securities. Credit risk associated with letters of credit is considered in determining the appropriate amounts of allowances for unfunded commitments. Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit are issued for terms of up to ten years and one year, respectively.

Other Commitments

Citizens has additional off-balance sheet arrangements that are summarized below:

•Marketing Rights - During 2003, Citizens entered into a 25-year agreement to acquire the naming and marketing rights of a baseball stadium in Pennsylvania.

•Loans sold with recourse - Citizens is an originator and servicer of residential mortgages and routinely sells such mortgage loans in the secondary market and to GSEs. In the context of such sales, the Company makes certain representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the underlying loans and, as a result, may be contractually required to repurchase such loans or indemnify certain parties against losses for certain breaches of those representations and warranties. The Company also sells the government guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans to outside investors, for which it retains the servicing rights.

•Risk Participation Agreements - RPAs are guarantees issued by the Company to other parties for a fee, whereby the Company agrees to participate in the credit risk of a derivative customer of the other party. The current amount of credit exposure is spread out over multiple counterparties. At June 30, 2022, the remaining terms on these RPAs ranged from less than one year to seven years.

Contingencies

The Company operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to potentially significant risks. A certain amount of litigation ordinarily results from the nature of the Company’s banking and other businesses. The Company is a party to legal proceedings, including class actions. The Company is also the subject of investigations, reviews, subpoenas, and regulatory matters arising out of its normal business operations, which, in some instances, relate to concerns about fair lending, unfair and/or deceptive practices, and mortgage-related issues. In addition, the Company engages in discussions with relevant governmental and regulatory authorities on a regular and ongoing basis regarding various issues, and any issues discussed or

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 73

identified may result in investigatory or other action being taken. Litigation and regulatory matters may result in settlements, damages, fines, penalties, public or private censure, increased costs, required remediation, restrictions on business activities, or other impacts on the Company.

In these disputes and proceedings, the Company contests liability and the amount of damages as appropriate. Given their complex nature, and based on the Company's experience, it may be years before some of these matters are finally resolved. Moreover, before liability can be reasonably estimated for a claim, numerous legal and factual issues may need to be examined, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal issues relevant to the proceedings in question. The Company cannot predict with certainty if, how, or when such claims will be resolved or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, may be, particularly for claims that are at an early stage in their development or where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages. The Company recognizes a provision for a claim when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In many proceedings, however, it is not possible to determine whether any loss is probable or to estimate the amount of any loss.

Based on information currently available, the advice of legal counsel and other advisers, and established reserves, management believes that the aggregate liabilities, if any, potentially arising from these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Citizens measures or monitors many of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities for which fair value is the required or elected measurement basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Citizens also applies the fair value measurement guidance to determine amounts reported for certain disclosures in this Note for assets and liabilities that are not required to be reported at fair value in the financial statements.

Fair Value Option

Citizens elected to account for residential mortgage LHFS and certain commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate LHFS at fair value. The following table presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of LHFS measured at fair value:


	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
(in millions)	Aggregate Fair Value	Aggregate Unpaid Principal	Aggregate Fair Value Greater (Less) Than Aggregate Unpaid Principal	Aggregate Fair Value	Aggregate Unpaid Principal	Aggregate Fair Value Greater (Less) Than Aggregate Unpaid Principal
Residential mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value	$1,278	$1,266	$12	$2,657	$2,591	$66
Commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate loans held for sale, at fair value	99	118	(19)	76	79	(3)

For more information on the election of the fair value option for these assets see Note 20 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Citizens utilizes a variety of valuation techniques to measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. For more information on the valuation techniques utilized to measure recurring fair value see Note 20 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

Citizens utilizes a FTP system to eliminate the effect of interest rate risk from the segments’ net interest income. This risk is centrally managed within the Treasury function and reported in the Other segment. The FTP methodology provides a funds credit for sources of funds and a funds charge for the use of funds by each segment. The sum of the interest income/expense and FTP charges/credits for each segment is its designated net interest income. The offset to these FTP charges and credits is recorded in the Other segment.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company refined its FTP credit methodology for deposits provided by each business segment. The rationale for this FTP refinement is to better estimate the net interest income resulting from the strong growth in deposits caused by the COVID-19 government stimulus. This resulted in lower net interest income, primarily in Consumer, offset by an increase in Other. Prior periods have not been restated.

There have been no other significant changes in the management accounting practices utilized by the Company regarding the basis of presentation for segment results as discussed in Note 26 in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On April 6, 2022, the Company completed the Investors acquisition. The Company is in the process of incorporating Investors’ internal controls and procedures into its internal controls over financial reporting for purposes of its report on internal control over financial reporting to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
