Northern Trust has reported a net income of $396.2m, or $1.86 a share in Q2 2022, up 8% from $368.1m or $1.72 per share in the second quarter of 2021.
The US asset manager’s total revenue for the three-month-period ending 30 June 2022 stood at 1.8bn, a surge of 12% from $1.5bn a year ago.
Net interest income increased to $469.8m in Q2 from $343.9m in Q2 2021.
The increase was majorly driven by a higher net interest margin and nonrecurring interest received from certain nonaccrual loans and was partially offset by lower average earning assets, the bank said.
