When the SEC's staff reviews a filing, it writes to the company with numbered questions, and the company answers each one in a letter. SEC publishes the exchange once the review is over, at least 20 business days later. Below: what the staff asked FITB, and the company's answer to each question, quoted from the letters. A question is not an accusation; most reviews end with the company adding detail to its next filing.

Non-GAAP measures
Exhibit 99.1 · Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 27
SEC asked
We note your disclosures on pages 27-29 of various non-GAAP measures that are derived from Adjusted net income calculated on page 29, which exclude "Provision in excess of credit losses". It appears these performance measures, which exclude a portion of the provision for credit losses, substitute individually tailored recognition and measurement methods for those of GAAP and violate Rule 100(b) of Regulation G.
Rest of the question

Refer to Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, which is available on our website at: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/nongaapinterp.htm. Please refrain from disclosing these performance measures, or any other similar non-GAAP performance measures that exclude all or a portion of the provision for credit losses.

FITB answered
Fifth Third acknowledges the staff’s comment and confirms that it will refrain from disclosing these measures, or any other similar non-GAAP performance measures that exclude all or a portion of the provision for credit losses in future filings.

Tickdelta does not hold the text of both reports, so they are not compared here.

Also in this review: closing letter, 2020-07-07

From the SEC's correspondence on EDGAR: staff letters (form UPLOAD) and company letters (form CORRESP), 3 letters filed since 2020-06-25. Questions and answers are matched by their numbers; topics come from words in each question. The reports are compared word for word (same form, before the first SEC letter against the first report after the company's reply). No AI.
