This in turn drove strong improvement in our returns on assets and equity. Revenue grew 11% year-over-year. Strong loan and deposit growth, coupled with effective balance sheet positioning, resulted in record net interest income. We also saw strong fee performance from our market-facing businesses. As revenues grew at a much faster rate than expenses, we drove good operating leverage and an efficiency ratio below 62%. With continued organic growth, every line of business reported top and bottom-line improvements. I thank our teammates for a strong quarter.

2 From Executive Vice President and CFO Alastair Borthwick: This quarter’s performance demonstrated the earnings power of our diversified model. We believe our investments in technology, talent and client experiences aided in an improved efficiency ratio as well as operating leverage. Our strong capital position enabled us to support clients, growing average loans by $25 billion from the second quarter, and to return $7.4 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Liquidity and capital improved and our asset quality included a decline in net charge-offs, positioning us to be well-prepared to grow with clients and deliver for shareholders.
