Fifth Third’s balance sheet was broadly stable in size from 2021–2024, with total assets hovering around $210–215 billion (211,116 in 2021 → 212,927 in 2024, a net +0.9% change). Assets fell modestly in 2022 (to $207,452, −1.7%) then recovered in 2023 (+3.4%) before a small decline in 2024 (−0.8%). Total liabilities moved modestly higher overall (188,906 → 193,282, +2.3%), rising in 2022–2023 and easing slightly in 2024, which indicates the bank’s funding base remained the primary driver of balance-sheet size rather than large asset expansion or contraction. The most noteworthy movement is in shareholders’ equity: equity fell sharply in 2022 (from $22,210m to $17,327m, −22.0%), then partially recovered to $19,645m by 2024. That drop materially reduced the equity-to-assets ratio from about 10.5% (2021) to 8.4% (2022), with a partial rebound to ~9.2% in 2024 — signaling a capital hit in 2022 and only partial replenishment thereafter. For a regional bank, a sudden equity decline like this often reflects one-time charges, elevated loan loss provisions, mark-to-market losses, or dividends/repurchases combined with weaker earnings; liabilities remained a stable share of funding rather than showing aggressive deleveraging. Note the 2025 row contains zeros (missing data), so no comment is possible for that year.
