| ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES | ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The following table presents ACL activity by portfolio segment.
(1)Includes charge-offs of $23 million on certain commercial loans previously charged off by Cadence, which were written up to the unpaid principal balance at acquisition and then immediately charged off by Huntington as required by purchase accounting. At June 30, 2026, the ACL was $3.4 billion, a $638 million increase compared to December 31, 2025. The increase in the ACL was driven by the ACL recorded for loans acquired in the Cadence transaction in addition to organic loan and lease growth. The ACL coverage ratio at June 30, 2026 is reflective of the current macroeconomic forecast and changes in various risk profiles intended to capture uncertainty not addressed within the quantitative reserve. The commercial ACL was $2.4 billion at June 30, 2026, a $565 million increase compared to December 31, 2025, with the increase driven by $438 million of ALLL recorded for commercial loans acquired in the Cadence transaction, as well as organic growth in commercial loans and leases during the first six months of 2026. The consumer ACL was $940 million at June 30, 2026, an increase of $73 million from December 31, 2025, with the increase due primarily to $129 million of ALLL recorded for consumer loans acquired in the Cadence transaction. For purposes of determining the ACL at June 30, 2026, we utilized a baseline economic scenario that assumes the labor market has softened, with the unemployment rate peaking at 4.6% in the fourth quarter of 2026 and expected to remain elevated at 4.6% in the first half of 2027. The Federal Reserve projected to continue the current cycle of rate cuts, but cuts are expected later in 2026 and 2027, with the federal funds rate projected to return to 3% by 2028. Inflation is forecasted to remain above the Federal Reserve’s target level of 2%, with inflation still at or near 3% by the end of 2026. Forecasted GDP growth moderated in the first quarter, with growth projected at approximately 2.2% in 2026 before easing below 2% in 2027. The economic scenarios used included elevated levels of economic uncertainty including the impact of specific challenges in the commercial real estate industry, recent inflation levels, the U.S. labor market, the expected path of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, and the impact of significant conflicts on-going around the world. Given the uncertainty associated with key economic scenario assumptions, the June 30, 2026 ACL included a general reserve that consists of various risk profile components to address uncertainty not measured within the quantitative transaction reserve.
