Q3 2024 KeyCorp Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- KeyCorp (KEY) received an initial $821 million investment from Scotiabank, which was used to reposition their securities portfolio, potentially adding over $40 million to quarterly net interest income in the fourth quarter.
- Net interest income increased by 7% quarter over quarter, driven by proactive management of funding costs and maturing low-yielding swaps and treasuries.
- Investment banking and debt placement fees were strong, reaching $171 million, with pipelines remaining at historically elevated levels.
- Assets under management in the wealth segment reached an all-time high of $61 billion, up 16% from the prior year.
- KeyCorp (KEY) demonstrated a conservative credit risk profile with non-performing assets and loans remaining stable and criticized loans declining by $132 million.
- KeyCorp (KEY) reported a negative earnings per share of $0.47, impacted by a $0.77 loss from securities portfolio repositioning.
- Average loans declined by 2.5% sequentially, reflecting continued weak client demand and intentional runoff of low-yielding consumer loans.
- Non-interest income was negative $269 million due to a $918 million loss related to securities repositioning.
- Net charge-offs increased to $154 million, driven by three specific credits in consumer goods and equipment manufacturing.
- The company anticipates a higher deposit beta on the initial Fed rate cut than previously modeled, which could impact future net interest income.
