By GlobalDataCommenting on the performance, Northern Trust chairman and CEO Michael O’Grady said: “Northern Trust performed well in the second quarter of 2019 despite the impact of a mixed global macroeconomic environment.
“Net income was flat versus the prior-year quarter and improved 12% on a sequential-quarter basis, as revenue grew 2% and expense declined by 2%. We continued to have success in generating organic growth across our businesses, while also driving improved efficiencies.
“We generated a return on common equity of 15.9% during the quarter and returned $402 million to common shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 2.9 million shares.”
