Introduction
This section reviews the financial condition and results of operations of KeyCorp and its subsidiaries for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025. Some tables may include additional periods to comply with disclosure requirements or to illustrate trends in greater depth. When you read this discussion, you should also refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes in this report. The page locations of specific sections and notes that we refer to are presented in the Table of Contents.
References to our “2025 Form 10-K” refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which has been filed with the SEC and is available on its website (www.sec.gov) and on our website (www.key.com/ir).
Terminology
Throughout this discussion, references to “Key,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to the consolidated entity consisting of KeyCorp and its subsidiaries. “KeyCorp” refers solely to the parent holding company, and “KeyBank” refers solely to KeyCorp’s subsidiary bank, KeyBank National Association. “KeyBank (consolidated)” refers to the consolidated entity consisting of KeyBank and its subsidiaries.
We want to explain some industry-specific terms at the outset so you can better understand the discussion that follows.
•We use the phrase continuing operations in this document to mean all of our businesses other than our government-guaranteed and private education lending business, which are accounted for as discontinued operations.
•We engage in capital markets activities primarily through business conducted by our Commercial Bank segment. These activities encompass a variety of products and services. Among other things, we trade securities as a dealer, enter into derivative contracts (both to accommodate clients’ financing needs and to mitigate certain risks), and conduct transactions in foreign currencies (to accommodate clients’ needs).
•For regulatory purposes, capital is divided into Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 2 capital. These components of regulatory capital serve as bases for several measures of capital adequacy, which is an important indicator of financial stability and condition. The “Capital” section of this report under the heading “Capital adequacy” provides more information on total capital, Tier 1 capital, and the Regulatory Capital Rules, including Common Equity Tier 1, and describes how these measures are calculated.

Executive Overview
Key reported $472 million in net income from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders, or diluted earnings per share of $0.44, in the second quarter of 2026.
Our actions and results during the second quarter of 2026 support our corporate strategy described in the “Introduction” section under the “Corporate strategy” heading on page 51 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
•Relationship households increased approximately 3% year-over-year and commercial clients increased approximately 2% year-over-year, reflecting continued client acquisition and relationship deepening.
•Our priority fee-based businesses — investment banking, commercial payments, and wealth management – continued to contribute to revenue diversification, collectively growing 8% in the first half of 2026 compared with the prior-year period.
•We announced an agreement to acquire Clearwater U.K., which is expected to expand our middle-market mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) advisory capabilities internationally and further support our priority fee-based business growth strategy.
•Our Assets Under Management were $74.2 billion for the second quarter of 2026, up 15.5% year-over-year, reflecting favorable market impacts as well as continued momentum in our wealth management business.
•Our continuous focus on maintaining our risk discipline has and should continue to position us to perform well through all business cycles. While nonperforming assets increased from idiosyncratic exposures, the broader portfolio performance remained within management’s expectations. Net charge-offs were 42 basis points in the second quarter and year-to-date charge-offs remained at the low end of the full-year outlook.
•We continued to deploy capital in a disciplined manner to support organic client growth, invest in the franchise, and return capital to shareholders. During the second quarter, we repurchased $341 million of common shares and remained on pace to complete at least $1.3 billion of share repurchases in 2026, while maintaining a strong capital position with a CET1 ratio of 11.2%(a), which positions us to continue to support existing and prospective clients.
(a) June 30, 2026 capital ratios are estimates
Business outlook
We increased our full-year 2026 outlook for revenue, net interest income, average loans, and average commercial loans to reflect stronger-than-expected commercial loan growth through the first half of the year, continued client acquisition and relationship expansion, and healthy commercial loan pipelines. Our outlook also assumes a stable competitive deposit environment, continued benefit from fixed-rate asset repricing and swap maturities, and disciplined deposit and balance sheet management. Actual results may differ from this outlook due to changes in interest rates, deposit pricing, client activity, credit performance, capital markets activity, and broader macroeconomic conditions. Consistent with the forward guidance we provided on July 21, 2026, we expect these current year results, that is, full year 2026 vs. full year 2025:
Category 2025 Baseline FY2026 (vs FY 2025)(a)
Revenue (TE)(b) $7,513 Million up 7 - 8% (previously up ~7%)
Net interest income (TE) (b) $4,671 Million up 9 - 11% (previously up 9 - 10%)
Net interest margin 4Q exit rate: 3.00 - 3.05%(c)
Noninterest income $2,842 Million up 3 - 4%
Noninterest income on an adjusted basis(b)(d) $2,495 Million up 5 - 6%
Adjusted noninterest expense(b) $4,729 Million up 3 - 4%
Average loans $105.7 Billion up 4 - 5% (previously up 2 - 4%)
Average Commercial Loans $74.5 Billion up 8 - 10% (previously up 6 - 8%)
Net charge-offs to average loans 40 to 45 basis points

Demographics
Our management structure and basis of presentation is divided into two business segments, Consumer Bank and Commercial Bank. Note 17 (“Business Segment Reporting”) describes the products and services offered by each of these business segments and provides more detailed financial information pertaining to the segments.
The Consumer Bank serves individuals and small businesses throughout our 15-state branch footprint and through our digital brand by offering a variety of deposit and investment products, personal finance and financial wellness services, lending, student loan refinancing, mortgage and home equity, credit card, treasury services, and business advisory services. In addition, wealth management and investment services are offered to assist non-profit and high-net-worth clients with their banking, trust, portfolio management, charitable giving, and related needs.
The Commercial Bank consists of the Commercial and Institutional operating segments. The Commercial operating segment is a full-service, commercial banking platform that focuses primarily on serving the borrowing, cash management, and capital markets needs of middle market clients within Key’s 15-state branch footprint. The Institutional operating segment operates nationally in providing lending, equipment financing, and banking products and services to large corporate and institutional clients. The industry coverage and product teams have established expertise in the following sectors: Consumer, Energy, Healthcare, Industrial, Public Sector, Real Estate, and Technology. It is also a significant, national, commercial real estate lender and third-party master and special servicer of commercial mortgage loans. The operating segment includes the KBCM platform which provides a broad suite of capital markets products and services including syndicated finance, debt and equity underwriting, fixed income and equity sales and trading, derivatives, foreign exchange, mergers & acquisition and other advisory, and public finance.
Supervision and regulation
The following discussion provides a summary of recent regulatory developments and should be read in conjunction with the disclosure included in our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1. Business and under the heading “V. Compliance Risk” in Item 1A. Risk Factors as well as the disclosure included in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this report.
Regulatory capital requirements
KeyCorp and KeyBank are subject to regulatory capital requirements that are based largely on the Basel III international capital framework (“Basel III”). The Basel III capital framework and the U.S. implementation of the Basel III capital framework (“Regulatory Capital Rules”) are discussed in more detail in Item 1. Business of our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Supervision and Regulation — Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements.”
Under the Regulatory Capital Rules, standardized approach banking organizations, such as KeyCorp and KeyBank, are required to meet the minimum capital and leverage ratios set forth in Figure 1 below. At June 30, 2026, KeyCorp’s ratios under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules were as set forth in Figure 1.

Revised prompt corrective action framework
The federal Prompt Corrective Action (“PCA”) framework under the FDIA groups FDIC-insured depository institutions into one of five prompt corrective action capital categories: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” In addition to implementing the Basel III capital framework in the United States, the Regulatory Capital Rules also revised the PCA capital category threshold ratios applicable to FDIC-insured depository institutions such as KeyBank. The revised PCA framework table in Figure 2 identifies the capital category threshold ratios for a “well capitalized” and an “adequately capitalized” institution under the PCA framework.
Figure 2. "Well Capitalized" and "Adequately Capitalized" Capital Category Ratios under Revised Prompt Corrective Action Framework

Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based 6.50 % 4.50 %
Tier 1 Risk-Based 8.00 6.00
Total Risk-Based 10.00 8.00
Tier 1 Leverage (b) 5.00 4.00
(a)A “well capitalized” institution also must not be subject to any written agreement, order, or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
(b)As a Category IV national bank, KeyBank is not subject to the 3% supplementary leverage ratio requirement.
As of June 30, 2026, KeyBank (consolidated) satisfied the risk-based and leverage capital requirements necessary to be considered “well capitalized” for purposes of the revised PCA framework. However, investors should not regard this determination as a representation of the overall financial condition or prospects of KeyBank because the PCA framework is intended to serve a limited supervisory function. Moreover, it is important to note that the PCA framework does not apply to BHCs, like KeyCorp.
CAMELS Rating System
On May 19, 2026, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council issued proposed revisions to the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System, commonly known as CAMELS, that applies to certain financial institutions, including KeyBank. The proposal is intended to better focus ratings issued under CAMELS on factors that materially affect an institution’s financial condition and risk profile, and to improve transparency by more clearly articulating expectations for financial institutions.
FDIC Resolution Planning Requirements
On June 25, 2026, the FDIC proposed revisions to the resolution plan rules applicable to KeyBank and certain other insured depository institutions. Under the proposal, KeyBank would continue to file a full resolution plan with the FDIC every three years, but would no longer be required to file an interim supplement in years in which a full resolution plan is not required. The content requirements applicable to full resolution plan filings would also be modified and streamlined, to allow the FDIC to focus on information that most directly supports the FDIC’s ability to resolve an institution in a cost-effective manner. In connection with the proposal, the FDIC also approved an exemption from 2026 or 2027 FDIC resolution plan filing requirements for all insured depository institutions, including KeyBank.
FDIC Deposit Insurance Assessments
On June 25, 2026, the FDIC proposed revisions to its deposit insurance assessment regulations. The proposal would decrease KeyBank’s initial base assessment rate by one basis point, and would provide for a further decrease of up to an additional one basis point based on a “resolution readiness adjustment.” The resolution readiness adjustment would be voluntary and would have two components: (1) a virtual data room component that would test KeyBank’s ability to quickly populate a virtual data room with complete, timely and accurate information and (2) a data access component under which KeyBank would agree to provide the FDIC with access to KeyBank’s service providers and/or internal systems. For each component, compliance would result in a 0.5 basis point reduction in KeyBank’s initial base assessment rate. Because the two components would be considered separately, KeyBank could elect to voluntarily comply with one of them without being required to comply with the other.

Results of Operations
Earnings overview
The following chart provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Key common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2025, to the three months ended June 30, 2026 (dollars in millions):
Net interest income
One of our principal sources of revenue is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income received on earning assets (such as loans and securities) and loan-related fee income, and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings. There are several factors that affect net interest income, including:
•the volume, pricing, mix, and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities;
•the volume and value of net free funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and equity capital;
•the use of derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk;
•interest rate fluctuations and competitive conditions within the marketplace;
•asset quality; and
•fair value accounting of acquired earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
To make it easier to compare both the results across several periods and the yields on various types of earning assets (some taxable, some not), we present net interest income in this discussion on a “TE basis” (i.e., as if all income were taxable and at the same rate). For example, $100 of tax-exempt income would be presented as $126, an amount that, if taxed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, would yield $100.

Table of contents
Net interest income (TE) was $1.26 billion for the second quarter of 2026 and the net interest margin was 2.89%. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, net interest income (TE) increased $108 million and net interest margin increased by 23 basis points. These increases were driven by a reduction in deposit costs as a result of declining interest rates and proactive deposit beta management, the reinvestment of proceeds from maturing low-yielding investment securities and fixed-rate swaps into higher yielding investments, and a shift in the balance sheet composition to a more favorable mix of higher-yielding commercial and industrial loans. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on repricing earning assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net interest income (TE) was $2.5 billion and the net interest margin was 2.88%. Compared to the same period in 2025, net interest income (TE) increased $233 million and net interest margin increased by 26 basis points. These increases were driven by a reduction in deposit costs as a result of declining interest rates and proactive deposit beta management, the reinvestment of proceeds from maturing low-yielding investment securities and fixed-rate swaps into higher yielding investments, and a shift in the balance sheet composition to a more favorable mix of higher-yielding commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on repricing earning assets.
Average loans were $110.1 billion for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $4.4 billion compared to the second quarter of 2025. Average commercial loans increased by $6.7 billion, primarily due to an increase in commercial and industrial loans. Average consumer loans declined by $2.3 billion, reflective of the intentional run-off of low-yielding loans.
Average deposits totaled $147.6 billion for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $131 million compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting growth in demand deposits, partially offset by a decline in time deposits.
Figure 3 shows the various components of our balance sheet that affect interest income and expense and their respective yields or rates for the current period and comparative year-ago period. This figure also presents a reconciliation of TE net interest income to net interest income reported in accordance with GAAP for each of those quarters. The net interest margin, which is an indicator of the profitability of the earning assets portfolio less the cost of funding, is calculated by dividing annualized TE net interest income by average earning assets.

Provision for credit losses
Key’s provision for credit losses was $92 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $138 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The provision for credit losses was $198 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $256 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease compared to the prior year periods was primarily driven by reserve builds recorded in 2025 in response to more adverse and uncertain economic conditions, while the outlook in 2026 has been more resilient. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2026 reflected net loan charge-offs of $115 million and a net reserve release of $23 million, as the favorable impact of an improved commercial portfolio mix more than offset the effects of loan growth, credit migration, and economic uncertainty.
Noninterest income
As shown in Figure 4, noninterest income was $706 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $690 million for the year-ago quarter. Noninterest income was $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The following discussion explains the composition of certain elements of our noninterest income and the factors that caused those elements to change.

Trust and investment services income
Trust and investment services income consists of brokerage commissions, trust and asset management fees, and insurance income. The assets under management or administration that primarily generate certain trust and asset management fees are shown in Figure 5. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, trust and investment services income was up $13 million, or 8.9%, compared to the same period one year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, trust and investment services income was up $31 million, or 10.9%, compared to the same period one year ago. These increases were primarily attributable to higher investment management and trust income and brokerage income, reflecting higher assets under management and favorable market performance.

Table of contents
A significant portion of our trust and investment services income depends on the value and mix of assets under management. As shown in Figure 5, at June 30, 2026, our bank, trust, and registered investment advisory subsidiaries had assets under management of $74.2 billion, up 15.5% compared to June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by constructive market performance.

Investment banking and debt placement fees
Investment banking and debt placement fees consist of syndication fees, debt and equity securities underwriting fees, merger and acquisition and financial advisory fees, gains on sales of commercial mortgages, and agency origination fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, investment banking and debt placement fees were down $9 million, or 5.1%, compared to the same period a year ago due to lower merger and acquisition advisory fees, commercial mortgage gains on sale, and loan syndication fees, partially offset by higher debt and equity origination activity. The decline also reflected uneven middle-market transaction activity and delays in M&A closings. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, investment banking and debt placement fees increased $13 million, or 3.8%, driven by stronger first-quarter activity and year-to-date growth in investment banking pipelines, despite softer second-quarter M&A activity.
Cards and payments income
Cards and payments income, which consists of debit card, prepaid card, consumer and commercial credit card, and merchant services income, increased $9 million or 10.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period one year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cards and payments income increased $13 million, or 7.8%, from the same period a year ago. The increases were driven by higher commercial payments activity, including growth in merchant services, embedded banking, purchase card volume, and prepaid card-related fees, as well as higher consumer debit and credit card spend volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower interchange fees in certain consumer card categories and higher rewards costs.
Service charges on deposit accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $4 million, or 5.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period one year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, service charges on deposit accounts increased by $12 million, or 8.5%, from the same period one year ago. The increases were primarily driven by higher account analysis fees, reflecting growth in fee-equivalent revenue, partially offset by higher deposit premiums and lower consumer overdraft-related fees.
Other noninterest income
Other noninterest income includes operating lease income and other leasing gains, corporate services income,
corporate-owned life insurance income, consumer mortgage income, commercial mortgage servicing fees, net securities gains (losses), and other income. Net other noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, decreased $1 million, or .5%, from the year-ago quarter. This net change resulted from lower commercial mortgage servicing fees reflective of lower special servicing and other miscellaneous ancillary fees offset by higher corporate services income reflective of growth in loan commitment fees, and non-yield loan fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other noninterest income increased $2 million, or 0.5%, from the same period a year ago, driven by higher corporate services income reflective of growth in loan commitment fees, foreign exchange trading gains, and non-yield loan fees, coupled with higher other noninterest income from increases in deposit network fees

and lower realized losses on non-customer derivatives activity. Partially offsetting this net increase were lower commercial mortgage servicing fees reflective of lower special servicing and other miscellaneous ancillary fees.
Noninterest expense
As shown in Figure 6, noninterest expense was $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Noninterest expense was $2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The following discussion explains the composition of certain elements of our noninterest expense and the factors that caused those elements to change.

Personnel
Personnel expense, the largest category of our noninterest expense, increased by $81 million, or 11.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period one year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, personnel expense was up $144 million, or 10.4%, compared to the same period one year ago. The increases were driven by higher salaries, incentive and stock-based compensation reflective of current year merit increases, higher headcount and growth in the fee businesses.

Nonpersonnel expense
Other nonpersonnel expense includes net occupancy, computer processing, business services and professional fees, equipment, operating lease expense, marketing, and other miscellaneous expense categories. Other nonpersonnel expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026, decreased $18 million, or 4.0%, from the year-ago quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other nonpersonnel expense decreased $31 million, or 3.4%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decreases were driven by lower business services and professional fees, operating lease expense, marketing expense, and other miscellaneous expense categories, partially offset by slight increases in computer processing and equipment. Lower professional fees reflected reduced consulting and legal services in several areas, while lower operating lease expense reflected continued runoff of the operating lease portfolio.
Income taxes
We recorded tax expense of $139 million for the second quarter of 2026 and tax expense of $116 million for the second quarter of 2025. We recorded tax expense of $275 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $225 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Table of contents
Our federal tax expense and effective tax rate differs from the amount that would be calculated using the federal statutory tax rate, primarily due to investments in tax-advantaged assets, such as corporate-owned life insurance, tax credits associated with low-income housing investments, and periodic adjustments to our tax reserves.
Additional information pertaining to how our tax expense (benefit) and the resulting effective tax rates were derived is included in Note 13 (“Income Taxes”) beginning on page 153 of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are the largest component of our loan portfolio, representing 57% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2026, and 54% at December 31, 2025. This portfolio is approximately 93% variable rate and consists of loans originated primarily to large corporate, middle market, and small business clients.
Commercial and industrial loans totaled $62.7 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $5.0 billion, or 8.7%, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase was broad-based across multiple industry categories.
Commercial real estate loans. Our commercial real estate portfolio includes project loans primarily focused in market-rate and affordable multi-family housing loans, owner-occupied commercial and industrial operating company buildings, and community center grocer-anchored retail centers. These three commercial real estate segments make up 71% of our commercial real estate portfolio. Our non-owner-occupied portfolio is focused on operators of commercial real estate who not only utilize our loan products, but also utilize our broader industry-focused products and services and provide consistent pipelines into our agency, CMBS, and other long-term market take out products. This focus ensures our relationship clients foster and build portfolios with stable, recurring cash flows, with adequate, balanced cash reserves to support our balance sheet exposures through the economic cycle.
At June 30, 2026, commercial real estate loans totaled $16.8 billion, which includes $13.9 billion of mortgage loans and $2.9 billion of construction loans. Compared to December 31, 2025, this portfolio increased $286 million, or 1.7%. Nonowner-occupied properties, generally properties for which at least 50% of the debt service is provided by
21
Table of contents
rental income from nonaffiliated third parties, represented 80% of total commercial real estate loans outstanding at June 30, 2026.
Our overall construction loans constitute 17% of commercial real estate loans as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Construction loans provide a stream of funding for properties not fully leased at origination to support debt service payments over the term of the contract or project. As of June 30, 2026, 75% of our construction portfolio are multi-family project loans. Our office exposure only represents 4% of commercial real estate loans at period end.
As shown in Figure 10, our commercial real estate loan portfolio includes various property types and geographic locations of the underlying collateral. These loans include commercial mortgage and construction loans in both Consumer Bank and Commercial Bank.

Consumer loan portfolio
Consumer loans outstanding as of June 30, 2026, totaled $28.9 billion, a decrease of $1.2 billion, or 3.9%, from December 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by declines across all consumer loan categories reflective of the intentional run-off of low-yielding loans.
The residential mortgage portfolio is comprised of loans originated by our Consumer Bank and is the largest segment of our consumer loan portfolio as of June 30, 2026, representing 63% of consumer loans outstanding. This is followed by our home equity portfolio representing 19% of consumer loans outstanding at June 30, 2026.
We held the first lien position for approximately 62% of the home equity portfolio at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. For loans with real estate collateral, we track borrower performance monthly. Regardless of the lien position, credit metrics are refreshed quarterly, including recent FICO scores as well as updated loan-to-value ratios. This information is used in establishing the ALLL. Our methodology is described in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of our 2025 Form 10-K.

In the event of default by a borrower, we are subject to recourse with respect to approximately $8.2 billion of the $602.5 billion of loans administered or serviced at June 30, 2026. These are primarily associated with commercial real estate loans administered or serviced. Additional information about this recourse arrangement is included in Note 14 (“Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees”) under the heading “Recourse agreement with FNMA.”
We derive income from several sources when retaining the right to administer or service loans that are sold. We earn noninterest income (recorded as “Consumer mortgage income” and “Commercial mortgage servicing fees”) from fees for servicing or administering loans. This fee income is reduced by the amortization of related servicing assets. In addition, we earn interest income from investing funds generated by escrow deposits collected in connection with the servicing loans. Additional information about our mortgage servicing assets is included in Note 8 (“Mortgage Servicing Assets”).
Securities
We manage our securities portfolio according to the following priorities: 1) store of liquidity, 2) interest rate risk management tool, and 3) source of earnings. In keeping with the first priority, the portfolio provides securities to meet our pledging requirements. Our securities portfolio totaled $48.0 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $48.2 billion at December 31, 2025. Available-for-sale securities were $38.5 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $39.6 billion at December 31, 2025. Held-to-maturity securities were $9.5 billion at June 30, 2026, and $8.6 billion at December 31, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, approximately $13.0 billion of uninsured deposits were collateralized by government-backed securities compared to $12.0 billion as of December 31, 2025.
Wholesale funds, consisting of short-term borrowings and long-term debt, totaled $14.7 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $11.0 billion at December 31, 2025. The change primarily reflects increases in bank notes and short-term borrowings, as well as issuances of long-term debt during 2026. Wholesale funding supplements client deposit funding and may rise or fall with seasonal or other funding needs. For more information regarding our wholesale funds, see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations under the heading “Risk Management - Liquidity risk management” of this report.
Capital
Our capital management objective is to maintain capital levels consistent with our risk appetite and of a sufficient amount to operate and support our clients under a wide range of economic conditions. Our current capital levels position us well to execute against our capital priorities including supporting organic growth, investing in our business, and providing an attractive return to our investors through dividends and share repurchases.
The following sections discuss certain ways we have deployed our capital. For further information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Note 16 (“Shareholders' Equity”).
(a) Excludes shares repurchased related to equity compensation programs and share repurchase excise tax.

Dividends
Consistent with our capital plan, we paid a quarterly dividend of $.205 per Common Share for the second quarter of 2026. Further information regarding the capital planning process and CCAR is included under the heading “Capital planning, stress testing, and stress capital buffer” beginning on page 14 in the “Supervision and Regulation” section of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Common shares outstanding
Our Common Shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbol KEY with 25,066 holders of record at June 30, 2026. Our book value per Common Share was $16.19 based on 1.1 billion shares outstanding at June 30, 2026, compared to $16.27 per Common Share based on 1.1 billion shares outstanding at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, our tangible book value per Common Share was $13.62, compared to $13.77 per Common Share at December 31, 2025.
Figure 18 shows activities that caused the change in outstanding Common Shares over the past five quarters.

In May, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program pursuant to which KeyCorp may purchase up to $3.0 billion of KeyCorp common shares. The new repurchase authorization replaces KeyCorp's existing $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization. Information on repurchases of Common Shares by KeyCorp is included in Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this report.
As shown in Figure 18 above, Common Shares outstanding decreased by 15 million shares during the second quarter of 2026, primarily attributed to shares repurchased in the open market partially offset by shares issued under employee compensation plans. Open market share repurchases, inclusive of shares repurchased from Scotiabank, totaled approximately $341 million in the second quarter of 2026.
At June 30, 2026, we had 184.7 million treasury shares, compared to 154.3 million treasury shares at December 31, 2025. The increase in treasury shares was primarily attributable to open market share repurchases. From time to time, we may reissue treasury shares in connection with stock-based compensation awards or for other corporate purposes.
Capital adequacy
Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and performance. All of our capital ratios remained in excess of regulatory requirements at June 30, 2026. Our capital and liquidity levels are intended to position us to weather an adverse operating environment while continuing to serve our clients’ needs, as well as to meet the Regulatory Capital Rules described in Item 1. Business of our 2025 Form 10-K under the heading “Supervision and Regulation.” Our shareholders’ equity to assets ratio was 10.3% and 11.1% at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.7% and 8.4% at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. See the section entitled “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations,” which presents the computations of certain financial measures related to “tangible common equity.” The minimum capital and leverage ratios under the Regulatory Capital Rules together with the ratios of KeyCorp at June 30, 2026, are set forth in the “Supervision and regulation — Regulatory capital requirements” section in Part I, Item 2 of this report.
Figure 19 represents the details of our regulatory capital positions at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, under the Regulatory Capital Rules.

Risk Management
Overview
Like all financial services companies, we engage in business activities that come with related risks. The most significant risks we face are credit, compliance, operational, liquidity, market, strategic, model, and technology risks. We manage such risks across the entire enterprise to maintain safety and soundness and maximize profitable growth. Certain of these risks are defined and discussed in greater detail in the remainder of this section. Our definition, philosophy, and approach to risk management have not materially changed from the discussion presented under the heading “Risk Management” beginning on page 74 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Market risk management
Market risk is the risk that movements in market risk factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices, credit spreads, and volatilities, will reduce Key’s income and the value of its portfolios. These factors influence prospective yields, values, or prices associated with the instrument. We are exposed to market risk both in our trading and nontrading activities, which include asset and liability management activities. Information regarding our fair value policies, procedures, and methodologies is provided in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Fair Value Measurements” on page 111 of our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 5 (“Fair Value Measurements”) in this report.
Trading market risk
Key incurs market risk as a result of trading activities that are used in support of client facilitation and hedging activities, principally within our investment banking and capital markets businesses. Key has exposures to a wide range of risk factors including interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, and commodity prices, as well as the associated implied volatilities and spreads. Our primary market risk exposures are a result of trading and hedging activities in the derivative and fixed income markets, including securitization exposures. At June 30, 2026, we did not have any re-securitization positions. We maintain modest trading inventories to facilitate customer flow, make markets in securities, and hedge certain risks including but not limited to credit spread risk and interest rate risk. The risks associated with these activities are mitigated in accordance with the Market Risk policies. The majority of our positions are traded in active markets.
Market risk management is an integral part of Key’s risk culture. The Joint KeyCorp and KeyBank National Association Risk Committee (“Board Risk Committee”) provides oversight of trading market risks. The ALCO and the Market Risk Committee regularly review and discuss market risk exposures and results of monitoring activities. Market risk policies and procedures have been defined and take into account our tolerance for risk and consideration for the business environment. The Market Risk Committee approves market risk policies and recommends our significant market risk policy to the ALCO and the Board Risk Committee for approval. For more information regarding monitoring of trading positions and the activities related to Market Risk Rule compliance, see “Market Risk Management” beginning on page 77 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
VaR and stressed VaR. VaR is the estimate of the maximum amount of loss on an instrument or portfolio due to adverse market conditions during a given time interval within a stated confidence level. Stressed VaR is used to assess extreme conditions on market risk within our trading portfolios. MTRM calculates VaR and stressed VaR at various confidence levels daily, and the results are closely monitored. VaR and stressed VaR results are also provided to our regulators and utilized in regulatory capital calculations. For more information regarding our VaR model, its governance, and assumptions, see “Market Risk Management” on page 77 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
MTRM backtests the VaR model on a daily basis to evaluate its predictive power. The test compares VaR model results at the 99% confidence level to daily held profit and loss. Backtesting exceptions occur when daily held profit and loss exceeds VaR. There was one backtesting exception for KeyCorp during the past 250 trading days ended June 30, 2026, generally caused by interest rate volatility. All KeyCorp backtesting exceptions are thoroughly reviewed in the context of VaR model use and performance.
The aggregate VaR at the 99% confidence level with a one day holding period for all covered positions was less than $1 million at June 30, 2026, and $2.4 million at June 30, 2025. Figure 20 summarizes our VaR at the 99% confidence level with a one day holding period for significant portfolios of covered positions for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025.

The aggregate stressed VaR for all covered positions was $1.2 million at June 30, 2026, and $4.4 million at June 30, 2025. Figure 21 summarizes our stressed VaR at the 99% confidence level with a one-day holding period for significant portfolios of covered positions for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025. Changes in VaR are dependent on portfolio composition, inventory levels, and other market factors.

Market risk is a component of our internal capital adequacy assessment. Our risk-weighted assets include a market risk-equivalent asset amount, which consists of a VaR component, stressed VaR component, a de minimis exposure amount, and a specific risk add-on including the securitization positions. The aggregate market value of the securitization positions as defined by the Market Risk Rule was zero at June 30, 2026. Specific risk is the price risk of individual financial instruments, which is not accounted for by changes in broad market risk factors and is measured through a standardized approach. Market risk weighted assets, including the specific risk calculations, are run quarterly by MTRM in accordance with the Market Risk Rule.
Nontrading market risk
Most of our nontrading market risk is derived from interest rate fluctuations and its impacts on our traditional loan and deposit products, as well as investments, hedging relationships, long-term debt, and certain short-term borrowings. Interest rate risk, which is inherent in the banking industry, is measured by the potential for fluctuations in net interest income and the EVE. Such fluctuations may result from changes in interest rates and differences in the repricing and maturity characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We manage the exposure to changes in net interest income and the EVE in accordance with our risk appetite and in accordance with the Board-approved ERM policy.
Interest rate risk positions are influenced by a number of factors, including the balance sheet positioning that arises out of customer preferences for loan and deposit products, economic conditions, the competitive environment within our markets, changes in market interest rates that affect client activity, and our hedging, investing, funding, and capital positions. The primary components of interest rate risk exposure consist of reprice risk, basis risk, yield curve risk, and option risk.
•“Reprice risk” is the exposure to changes in the level of interest rates and occurs when the volume of interest-bearing liabilities and the volume of interest-earning assets they fund (e.g., deposits used to fund loans) do not mature or reprice at the same time.
•“Yield curve risk” is the exposure to nonparallel changes in the slope of the yield curve (where the yield curve depicts the relationship between the yield on a particular type of security and its term to maturity) and occurs when interest-bearing liabilities and the interest-earning assets that they fund do not price or reprice to the same term point on the yield curve.
•“Option risk” is the exposure to a customer or counterparty’s ability to take advantage of the interest rate environment and terminate or reprice one of our assets, liabilities, or off-balance sheet instruments prior to
31
Table of contents
contractual maturity. Option risk occurs when exposures to customer and counterparty early withdrawals or prepayments are not mitigated with an offsetting position or appropriate compensation.
•“Basis risk” is the exposure to asymmetrical changes in interest rate indexes and occurs when floating-rate assets and floating-rate liabilities reprice at the same time, but in response to different market factors or indexes.
The management of nontrading market risk is centralized within Corporate Treasury. The Risk Committee of our Board provides oversight of nontrading market risk. The ERM Committee, the ALCO, and the Treasury Risk Oversight Committee (“TROC”) review reports on the interest rate risk exposures described above. In addition, the ALCO and the TROC review reports on stress tests and sensitivity analyses related to interest rate risk. These committees review and monitor strategies to manage nontrading market risk and oversee compliance with established tolerance ranges. The A/LM policy provides the framework for the oversight and management of interest rate risk and is administered by the ALCO. The MTRM, as the second line of defense, provides additional oversight.
Net interest income simulation analysis. The primary tool we use to measure our interest rate risk is simulation analysis. For purposes of this analysis, we estimate our net interest income based on the current and projected composition of our on- and off-balance sheet positions, accounting for recent and anticipated trends in customer activity. The analysis also incorporates assumptions for the current and projected interest rate environments and balance sheet growth projections based on a most likely macroeconomic outlook. The modeling incorporates investment portfolio and swap portfolio balances consistent with management's desired interest rate risk positioning. The simulation model estimates the amount of net interest income at risk by simulating the change in net interest income that would occur if rates were to gradually diverge from market expectations over the next 12 months (subject to a floor on market interest rates at zero).
Figure 22 presents the results of the simulation analysis at June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2026, our simulated exposure to changes in interest rates remained neutral. The exposure to declining rates has changed from (0.48)% as of June 30, 2025 to 0.15% as of June 30, 2026, while the exposure to rising rates has changed from 0.78% as of June 30, 2025 to 0.17% as of June 30, 2026.
We are actively managing the balance sheet to maintain desired IRR positioning in the current environment. Tolerance levels for risk management require the development of remediation plans to maintain residual risk within tolerance if simulation modeling demonstrates that a gradual, parallel 200 basis point increase or 200 basis point decrease in interest rates over the next 12 months would reduce net interest income over the same period by more than 5.0%. Current modeled exposure is within Board-approved tolerances.

Basis point change assumption -200 +200 -200 +200
Tolerance level (5.00) % (5.00) % (5.00) % (5.00) %
Interest rate risk assessment 0.15 % 0.17 % (0.48) % 0.78 %
Simulation analyses produce an estimate of interest rate exposure based on assumption inputs within the model. Assumptions are tailored to the specific interest rate environment and validated on a regular basis. However, actual results may differ from those derived in simulation analyses due to unanticipated changes to the balance sheet composition, consumer behavior, product pricing, market interest rates, changes in management’s desired interest rate risk positioning, investment, funding and hedging activities, or repercussions from exogenous events.
Regular sensitivity analyses are performed on the model inputs that could materially change the resulting risk assessments. Assessments are performed using different yield curve shapes, including steepenings or flattenings of the curve, immediate changes in market interest rates, and changes in the relationship of money market interest rates. Assessments are also performed on changes to the following assumptions: loan and deposit balances, the pricing of deposits without contractual maturities, changes in lending spreads, prepayments on loans and securities, investment, funding and hedging activities, and liquidity and capital management strategies.
The results of additional assessments indicate that net interest income could increase or decrease from the base simulation results presented in Figure 22. Net interest income is highly dependent on the timing, magnitude, frequency, and path of interest rate changes and the associated assumptions for deposit repricing relationships, lending spreads, and the balance behavior of transaction accounts. If fixed-rate assets increase by $1 billion, or
32
Table of contents
fixed-rate liabilities decrease by $1 billion, then the potential benefit to declining rates would increase by approximately 21 basis points. A five percentage point increase or decrease in the interest-bearing deposit beta assumption changes the current simulation results by approximately 99 basis points.
The current interest rate risk position could fluctuate to higher or lower levels of risk depending on the competitive environment and client behavior that may affect the actual volume, mix, maturity, and repricing characteristics of loan and deposit flows. Corporate Treasury’s discretionary activities related to funding, investing, and hedging may also change as a result of changes in customer business flows or changes in management’s desired interest rate risk positioning. As changes occur to both the configuration of the balance sheet and the outlook for the economy, management proactively evaluates hedging opportunities that may change the interest rate risk profile.
Simulations are also conducted that measure the effect of changes in market interest rates in the second and third years of a three-year horizon. These simulations are conducted in a similar manner to those based on a 12-month horizon. To capture longer-term exposures, changes in the EVE are calculated as discussed in the following section.
Economic value of equity modeling. EVE complements net interest income simulation analysis as it estimates risk exposure beyond 12-, 24-, and 36-month horizons. EVE modeling measures the extent to which the economic values of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments may change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. EVE is calculated by subjecting the balance sheet to an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates, measuring the resulting change in the values of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments, and comparing those amounts with the base case of the current interest rate environment. EVE policy limits are measured against a +/-200 basis point scenario subject to a floor on market interest rates at zero. This analysis is highly dependent upon assumptions applied to assets and liabilities with non-contractual maturities. Those assumptions are based on historical behaviors, as well as forward expectations. Remediation plans are similarly developed if the analysis indicates that the EVE will decrease by 15% or more in response to an instantaneous increase or decrease in interest rates. The position is within these guidelines as of June 30, 2026.
Management of interest rate exposure. The results of the various interest rate risk analyses are used to formulate A/LM strategies to achieve the desired risk profile while managing to objectives for capital adequacy and liquidity risk exposures. Specifically, risk positions are managed by purchasing or selling securities, issuing term debt with floating or fixed interest rates, and using derivatives. Interest rate swaps and options are predominantly used, which modify the interest rate characteristics of certain assets and liabilities.
Figure 23 shows all swap positions held for A/LM purposes. These positions are used to convert the contractual interest rate index of agreed-upon amounts of assets and liabilities (i.e., notional amounts) to another interest rate index. For example, fixed-rate debt is converted to a floating rate through a “receive fixed/pay variable” interest rate swap. The volume, maturity, and mix of portfolio swaps change frequently to reflect broader A/LM objectives and the balance sheet positions to be hedged. For more information about how interest rate swaps are used to manage the risk profile, see Note 7 (“Derivatives and Hedging Activities”).

Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk, which is inherent in the banking industry, is measured by our ability to accommodate liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, meet contractual obligations, and fund new business opportunities at a reasonable cost, in
33
Table of contents
a timely manner, and without adverse consequences. Liquidity management involves maintaining sufficient and diverse sources of funding to accommodate planned, as well as unanticipated, changes in cash flows of assets and liabilities under both normal and adverse conditions.
Governance structure
We manage liquidity for all of our affiliates on a consolidated basis. This approach considers the funding sources available to each entity, as well as each entity’s capacity to manage through adverse conditions.
The management of consolidated liquidity risk is centralized within Corporate Treasury. Oversight and governance is provided by the Board, the ALCO, the TROC, and the Chief Risk Officer. The Asset Liability Management Policy provides the framework for the oversight and management of liquidity risk and is administered by the ALCO. The Corporate Treasury Oversight group within the MTRM, as the second line of defense, provides additional oversight. Our current liquidity risk management practices are in compliance with the Federal Reserve Board’s Enhanced Prudential Standards.
These committees mentioned above regularly review liquidity and funding summaries, liquidity trends, peer comparisons, variance analyses, liquidity projections, internal liquidity stress tests, and goal tracking reports. The reviews generate a discussion of positions, trends, and directives on liquidity risk and shape a number of our decisions. When liquidity pressure is elevated, positions are monitored more closely and reporting is more frequent. To ensure that emerging issues are identified, we monitor an extensive set of systemic and idiosyncratic early warning indicators daily.
Factors affecting liquidity
Our liquidity could be adversely affected by both direct and indirect events. An example of a direct event would be a downgrade in our credit ratings by a rating agency. Examples of indirect events (events unrelated to us) that could impair our access to liquidity would be an act of terrorism or war, natural disasters, global pandemics, disruptive political events, or the default or bankruptcy of a major corporation, mutual fund, or hedge fund. Similarly, market speculation, or rumors about us or the banking industry in general, may adversely affect the cost and availability of normal funding sources. For a discussion of certain risks which may impact our liquidity, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" on pages 25-43 of our 2025 Form 10-K. For more information on recent liquidity activity, see the header "Our liquidity position and recent activity" in this report below.
Our credit ratings and rating agency outlooks at June 30, 2026, are shown in Figure 24. While we believe these credit ratings, under normal conditions in the capital markets, will enable KeyCorp or KeyBank to issue fixed income securities to investors, downgrades in our credit ratings could increase our cost of funds, trigger additional collateral or funding requirements, and decrease the number of investors and counterparties willing to lend to us.

Managing liquidity risk
Most of our liquidity risk is derived from our business model, which involves taking in deposits, many of which can be withdrawn at any time, and lending them out in the form of illiquid loan assets. The assessments of liquidity risk are measured under the assumption of normal operating conditions as well as under stressed environments. We manage these exposures in accordance with our risk appetite, and within Board-approved policy limits.
We regularly monitor our liquidity position and funding sources and measure our capacity to obtain funds in a variety of hypothetical scenarios in an effort to maintain an appropriate mix of available and affordable funding. In the normal course of business, we perform a monthly internal liquidity stress test at the consolidated KeyCorp level. From time to time, we may conduct internal liquidity stress tests more frequently, and use assumptions to reflect the changed market environment. Internal liquidity stress tests analyze potential liquidity scenarios under various funding constraints and time periods. Ultimately, they determine the periodic effects that major direct and indirect events would have on our access to funding markets and our ability to fund our normal operations. To compensate for the effect of these assumed liquidity pressures, we consider alternative sources of liquidity and maturities over different time periods to project how funding needs would be managed.
Our primary source of funding for KeyBank are customer deposits resulting in a consolidated loan-to-deposit ratio of 73% as of June 30, 2026. If the cash flows needed to support operating and investing activities are not satisfied by deposit balances, we rely on wholesale funding or on-balance sheet liquid reserves. Additionally, excess cash generated by operating, investing, and deposit-gathering activities may be used to repay outstanding debt or invest in liquid assets.
We maintain a Contingency Funding Plan that outlines the process for addressing a liquidity crisis. As part of the plan, we maintain on-balance sheet liquid reserves referred to as our liquid asset portfolio, which consists of high quality liquid assets. During a stress period, that reserve could be used as a source of funding to provide time to develop and execute a longer-term strategy. Figure 25 shows our available contingent liquidity at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, our secured term borrowings were $4.3 billion, an increase compared to the fourth quarter 2025. The change reflected a shift in wholesale funding mix, while overall wholesale funding continued to supplement client deposit funding to support seasonal deposit activity and strong loan growth during the quarter.

Liquidity programs
We have several liquidity programs, which are described in “Liquidity Risk Management” beginning on page 82 of our 2025 Form 10-K, that are designed to enable KeyCorp and KeyBank to raise funds in the public and private debt markets. The proceeds from most of these programs can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. These liquidity programs are reviewed from time to time by the Board and are renewed and replaced, as necessary. There are no restrictive financial covenants in any of these programs.
Liquidity for KeyCorp
The primary sources of liquidity for KeyCorp are dividends from KeyBank and the proceeds from the issuance of debt and capital securities. KeyCorp has sufficient liquidity when it can service its debt; support customary corporate operations and activities (including acquisitions); support occasional guarantees of subsidiaries’ obligations in transactions with third parties at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner, and without adverse consequences; and fund capital distributions in the form of dividends and share buybacks.
We use a parent cash coverage months metric as the primary measure to assess parent company liquidity. The parent cash coverage months metric measures the number of months into the future where projected obligations
35
Table of contents
can be met with the current quantity of liquidity. We generally issue term debt to supplement dividends from KeyBank to manage our liquidity position at or above our targeted levels. The parent company generally maintains cash and short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet projected debt maturities and dividends for the next 24 months. At June 30, 2026, KeyCorp held $5.3 billion in cash and short-term investments, which we projected to be sufficient to meet our projected obligations, including the repayment of our maturing debt obligations for the periods prescribed by our risk tolerance.
Typically, KeyCorp meets its liquidity requirements through regular dividends from KeyBank, supplemented with the proceeds from term debt issuances. Federal banking law limits the amount of capital distributions that a bank can make to its holding company without prior regulatory approval. A national bank’s dividend-paying capacity is affected by several factors, including net profits (as defined by statute) for the two previous calendar years and for the current year, up to the date of dividend declaration. During the second quarter of 2026, KeyBank paid $600 million in cash dividends to KeyCorp. As of June 30, 2026, KeyBank had regulatory capacity to pay $797 million in dividends to KeyCorp without prior regulatory approval.
During the second quarter, there were no notes issued under the Medium-Term Note (“MTN”) Program. Effective June 10, 2026, a new MTN Program was established, which has $15.0 billion available for issuance as of June 30, 2026.
There were no bank note issuances during the second quarter. At June 30, 2026, there is $20.0 billion available for issuance under the KeyBank Bank Note Program.
Our liquidity position and recent activity
Our liquid asset portfolio, which includes overnight and short-term investments, as well as unencumbered, high quality liquid securities held as protection against a range of potential liquidity stress scenarios, continues to exceed the amount that we estimate would be necessary to manage through an adverse liquidity event by providing sufficient time to develop and execute a longer-term solution.
From time to time, KeyCorp or KeyBank may seek to retire, repurchase, or exchange outstanding debt, capital securities, preferred shares, or common shares through cash purchase, privately negotiated transactions or other means. Additional information on repurchases of Common Shares by KeyCorp is included in Part II, Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities beginning on page 48 of our 2025 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 2 of this report. Such transactions depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity and capital requirements, contractual restrictions, regulatory requirements, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material, individually or collectively.
The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows summarize our sources and uses of cash by type of activity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025.
For more information regarding liquidity governance structure, management of liquidity risk at KeyBank and KeyCorp, long-term liquidity strategies, and other liquidity programs, see “Liquidity Risk Management” beginning on page 82 of our 2025 Form 10-K as well as the disclosure included in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this report.
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Like other financial services institutions, we make loans, extend credit, distribute credit risk, purchase securities, provide financial and payments products, and enter into financial derivative contracts, all of which have related credit risk.
Credit policy, approval, and evaluation
We manage credit risk exposure through a multifaceted program. The Credit Risk Committee recommends Significant Level 1 credit policies to the Board Risk Committee for approval. These policies are communicated throughout the organization to foster a consistent approach to granting credit.
Our credit risk management team and certain individuals within our lines of business, to whom credit risk management has delegated limited credit authority, are responsible for credit approval. Individuals with assigned
36
Table of contents
credit authority are authorized to grant exceptions to credit policies. It is not unusual to make exceptions to established policies when mitigating circumstances dictate, however, a corporate level tolerance has been established to keep exceptions at an acceptable level based upon portfolio and economic considerations.
Our credit risk management team uses risk models to evaluate consumer loans. These models, known as scorecards, forecast the probability of serious delinquency and default for an applicant. The scorecards are embedded in the application processing system, which allows for real-time scoring and automated decisions for many of our products. We periodically validate the loan scoring processes.
We maintain an active concentration management program to mitigate concentration risk in our credit portfolios. For individual obligors, we employ a sliding scale of exposure, known as hold limits, which is dictated by the type of loan and strength of the borrower.
Allowance for loan and lease losses
We estimate the appropriate level of the ALLL on at least a quarterly basis. The methodology used is described in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) under the heading “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” beginning on page 109 of our 2025 Form 10-K. Briefly, the ALLL estimate uses various models and estimation techniques based on our historical loss experience, current borrower characteristics, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other relevant factors. The ALLL at June 30, 2026, represents our best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date.
As shown in Figure 26, our ALLL from continuing operations increased by $18 million, or 1.3%, from December 31, 2025. The increase in the ALLL from continuing operations primarily reflects the addition of qualitative reserves to account for elevated economic uncertainty driven by geopolitical tensions and potential downside risks from energy price volatility. These increases were partially offset by continued improvement in the commercial portfolio mix. The commercial ALLL increased by $29 million, or 2.7%, from December 31, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Our consumer ALLL decreased $11 million, or 3.2%, from December 31, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Refer to Note 4 (“Asset Quality”) within this report for further discussion of changes in the ALLL.

Nonperforming assets
Figure 30 shows the composition of our nonperforming assets. As shown in Figure 30, nonperforming assets at June 30, 2026, increased $191 million from December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by idiosyncratic exposures within select commercial and industrial industries and multifamily real estate. Management does not view this activity as indicative of broader credit deterioration, and these exposures are actively managed and appropriately reserved.
See Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) of our 2025 Form 10-K under the headings “Nonperforming Loans,” “Impaired Loans,” and “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” for a summary of our nonaccrual and charge-off policies.

Operational and compliance risk management
Like all businesses, we are subject to operational risk, which is the risk of loss resulting from human error or malfeasance, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, and external events. These events include, among other things, threats to our cybersecurity, as we are reliant upon information systems and the internet to conduct our business activities. Operational risk intersects with compliance risk, which is the risk of loss from violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules and regulations, prescribed practices, and ethical standards. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, large financial companies like Key are subject to heightened prudential standards and regulation. This heightened level of regulation has increased our operational risk. While operational and compliance
40
Table of contents
risk are separate risk disciplines in KeyCorp’s ERM framework, losses and/or additional regulatory compliance costs are included in operational loss reporting and could take the form of explicit charges, increased operational costs, or harm to our reputation.
We seek to mitigate operational risk through identification and measurement of risk, alignment of business strategies with risk appetite and tolerance, and a system of internal controls and reporting. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to improve the oversight of our operational risk and to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations. For example, an operational event database tracks the amounts and sources of operational risk and losses. This tracking mechanism helps to identify weaknesses and to highlight the need to take corrective action. We also rely upon software programs designed to assist in assessing operational risk and monitoring our control processes. This technology has enhanced the reporting of the effectiveness of our controls to senior management and the Board.
The Operational Risk Management Program provides the framework for the structure, governance, roles, and responsibilities, as well as the content, to manage operational risk for Key. The Compliance Risk Management Program serves the same function in managing compliance risk for Key. The Operational Risk Committee and the Compliance Risk Committee support the ERM Committee by identifying early warning events and trends, escalating emerging risks, and discussing forward-looking assessments. Both the Operational Risk Committee and the Compliance Risk Committee include attendees from each of the Three Lines of Defense. Primary responsibility for managing and monitoring internal control mechanisms lies with the managers of our various lines of business. The Operational Risk Committee and Compliance Risk Committee are senior management committees that oversee our level of operational and compliance risk and direct and support our operational and compliance infrastructure and related activities. These committees and the Operational Risk Management and Compliance Risk Management functions are an integral part of our ERM Program. Our Internal Audit function regularly assesses the overall effectiveness of our Operational Risk Management and Compliance Risk Management Programs and our system of internal controls. Internal Audit reports the results of reviews on internal controls and systems to senior management and the Audit Committee and updates the Risk Committee, as appropriate, on matters related to the oversight of these controls.
Cybersecurity
For information on our cybersecurity risk management and governance practices, please see Item 1C. Cybersecurity beginning on page 44 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not
audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company,
they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for analyses
of results as reported under GAAP.
The tangible common equity ratio and the return on tangible common equity ratio have been a focus for some investors, and management believes that these ratios may assist investors in analyzing Key’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess our capital adequacy using tangible common equity, we believe it is useful to enable investors to assess our capital adequacy on these same bases.

Our business is dynamic and complex. Consequently, we must exercise judgment in choosing and applying accounting policies and methodologies. These choices are critical – not only are they necessary to comply with GAAP, they also reflect our view of the appropriate way to record and report our overall financial performance. All accounting policies are important, and all policies described in Note 1 (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) beginning on page 91 of our 2025 Form 10-K should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how we record and report our financial performance. Note 1 (“Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies”) of this report should also be reviewed for more information on accounting standards that have been adopted during the period.
In our opinion, some accounting policies are more likely than others to have a critical effect on our financial results and to expose those results to potentially greater volatility. These policies apply to areas of relatively greater business importance, or require us to exercise judgment and to make assumptions and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Because these assumptions and estimates are based on current circumstances, they may prove to be inaccurate, or we may find it necessary to change them. We rely heavily on the use of judgment, assumptions, and estimates to make a number of core decisions, including accounting for the ALLL and assets and liabilities that involve valuation methodologies. In addition, we may employ outside valuation experts to assist us in determining fair values of certain assets and liabilities. A brief discussion of each of these areas appears on pages 91 through 95 of our 2025 Form 10-K. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we did not significantly alter the manner in which we applied our critical accounting policies or developed related assumptions and estimates.

Accounting and Reporting Developments
Accounting Guidance Pending Adoption at June 30, 2026
Standard Required Adoption Description Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 Income Statement— Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40) January 1, 2027 Early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires public companies disclose additional information about certain types of costs and expenses. The guidance could be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Key’s disclosures.
ASU 2025-08 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans January 1, 2027 Early adoption is permitted. This guidance expands the types of acquired financial assets that must use the gross‑up approach under ASC 326. Certain non‑PCD loans considered “seasoned” are now accounted for using the gross‑up approach at acquisition. All non‑PCD loans acquired in a business combination are considered “seasoned” and other acquired loans are considered “seasoned” if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer did not originate the loans. This guidance must be applied prospectively to loans that are acquired on or after the initial application date. Adoption of this ASU will impact our financial condition and results of operations on a prospective basis only when loans are acquired.
ASU 2025-09 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Hedge Accounting Improvements January 1, 2027 Early adoption is permitted. The accounting update expands cash flow hedge accounting by allowing the grouping of forecasted transactions with similar risk exposures. It introduces a model that allows entities to hedge forecasted interest payments on certain variable rate debt using simplified assumptions. The guidance also broadens hedge accounting for nonfinancial forecasted transactions, permitting eligible components of spot and forward purchases or sales to be designated as hedged risks. The amendments update hedge accounting for net written options to better reflect changes in interest rate markets proceeding the discontinuation of LIBOR. Further, this new guidance improves accounting for dual hedge strategies involving foreign currency debt by eliminating recognition mismatches and better reflecting the economics of combined interest rate and foreign exchange risk management. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. We will early adopt this guidance in 2026 and do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
ASU 2025-06 - Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) January 1, 2028 Early adoption permitted. The guidance revises the accounting for internal-use software by replacing prescriptive development stage guidance with a principle-based capitalization threshold. Entities are required to begin capitalizing costs when management commits funding and it is probable the software will be completed and used as intended. This guidance may be applied on a prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Key is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial condition and results of operations.
