FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation may include forward-looking statements which reflect Regions’ current views
with respect to future events and financial performance. The Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 (“ the Act” ) provides a “ safe harbor” for forward-looking
statements which are identified as such and are accompanied by the identification of important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. For these statements, we,
together with our subsidiaries, claim the protection afforded by the safe harbor in the Act.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information, but rather are related to
future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements
are based on management’s expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and
information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Those statements are
based on general assumptions and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and
projections expressed in such statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include,
but are not limited to, those described below: ›
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “ Dodd-Frank
Act” ) became law on July 21, 2010, and a number of legislative, regulatory and tax proposals
remain pending. Additionally, the U.S. Treasury and federal banking regulators continue to implement,
but are also beginning to wind down, a number of programs to address capital and liquidity in
the banking system. Future and proposed rules, including those that are part of the Basel III process, could require banking institutions to increase levels of capital. All
of the foregoing may have significant effects on Regions and the financial services industry, the
exact nature of which cannot be determined at this time. › Regions' ability to mitigate
the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on debit interchange fees through revenue enhancements and other revenue measures, which will depend on various
factors, including the acceptance by our customers of modified fee structures for Regions' products
and services. › Possible additional loan losses, impairment of goodwill and other
intangibles, and adjustment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and the impact on earnings and capital.
› Possible changes in interest rates may increase funding costs and reduce earning asset yields,
thus reducing margins. Increases in benchmark interest rates would also increase debt service
requirements for customers whose terms include a variable interest rate, which may negatively impact the ability of borrowers to pay as contractually obligated.
› Possible changes in general economic and business conditions in the United States in general
and in the communities Regions serves in particular, including any prolonging or worsening of
the current unfavorable economic conditions including unemployment levels. ›
Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans.
› Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations and other
activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations, may have an adverse effect on
business. › Possible stresses in the financial and real estate markets, including possible
continued deterioration in property values. › Regions' ability to manage fluctuations in
the value of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet exposure so as to maintain sufficient capital and liquidity to support Regions'
business.
› Regions' ability to expand into new markets and to maintain profit margins in the face of
competitive pressures. › Regions' ability to develop competitive new products and services
in a timely manner and the acceptance of such products and services by Regions' customers and potential
customers.
› Regions' ability to keep pace with technological changes.
› Regions' ability to effectively manage credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk,
operational risk, legal risk, liquidity risk, and regulatory and compliance risk. ›
Regions’ ability to ensure adequate capitalization which is impacted by inherent uncertainties in forecasting credit losses.
›
The cost and other effects of material contingencies, including litigation contingencies, and any
adverse judicial, administrative or arbitral rulings or proceedings. › The effects of
increased competition from both banks and non-banks. › The effects of geopolitical
instability and risks such as terrorist attacks. › Possible changes in consumer and
business spending and saving habits could affect Regions' ability to increase assets and to attract deposits.
› The effects of weather and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wind, tornados and
hurricanes, and the effects of man-made disasters. › Possible downgrades in
ratings issued by rating agencies. › Possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by
Regions’ customers and loan origination or sales volumes. › Possible acceleration of
prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.
› The effects of problems encountered by larger or similar financial institutions that adversely
affect Regions or the banking industry generally. › Regions’ ability to receive
dividends from its subsidiaries. › The effects of the failure of any component of
Regions’ business infrastructure which is provided by a third party. › Changes in
accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies.
› With regard to the sale of Morgan Keegan the possibility of business disruption following the
transaction; reputational risks and the reaction of customers and counterparties to the
transaction; and occurrences which could cause post-closing adjustments to the purchase price.
› The effects of any damage to Regions’ reputation resulting from developments
related to any of the items identified above. › The foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive. For discussion of these and other factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, look under the captions “ Forward-
Looking Statements” and “ Risk Factors” in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2011. › The words "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "project," and similar expressions often signify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. We assume no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements that are made from time to time. |

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION: NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
AND NON-INTEREST REVENUE
In the table below non-interest expense (GAAP) and non-interest income
(GAAP) are presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense
(non-GAAP) and non-interest income (non-GAAP). Net interest
income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis (GAAP) and non-interest income are added together to arrive
at total revenue (GAAP). Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total
revenue (non-GAAP). Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a
meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes
will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Company and predicting
future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by
management to assess the performance of Regions' business. It is possible that the activities
related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the
activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions
believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit
investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by
management.

The following table provides a reconciliation of stockholder’s equity to "Tier 1 common
equity" (non-GAAP). Traditionally, the Federal Reserve and other banking
regulatory bodies have assessed a bank's capital adequacy based on Tier 1 capital, the calculation of which is codified in
federal banking regulations. In connection with the Company's Comprehensive Capital Assessment
and Review ("CCAR"), these regulators are supplementing their assessment of the capital
adequacy of a bank based on a variation of Tier 1 capital, known as Tier 1 common equity. While
not codified, analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions' capital adequacy using the
Tier 1 common equity measure. Because Tier 1 common equity is not formally defined by
GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations, this measure is considered to be non-GAAP and
other entities may calculate it differently than Regions' disclosed calculations. Since analysts
and banking regulators may assess Regions' capital adequacy using TIer 1 common equity, we
believe that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions' capital adequacy on these
same bases.
Tier 1 common equity is often expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the
risk-based capital framework, a company's balance sheet assets and credit equivalent
amounts of off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of four broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar
amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk-weighted category. The resulting
weighted values from each of the four categories are added together and this sum is the
risk-weighted assets total that, as adjusted, comprises the denominator of certain risk-based capital ratios.
Tier 1 capital is then divided by this denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the Tier 1
capital ratio. Adjustments are made to Tier 1 capital to arrive at Tier 1 common
equity. Tier 1 common equity is also divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common risk-
based ratio (non-GAAP). The amounts disclosed as risk-weighted assets are calculated
consistent with banking regulatory requirements. ($ amounts in

The following table provides calculations of Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 common, based on Regions’
current understanding of Basel III requirements. Regions currently calculates its
risk-based capital ratios under guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve based on the 1988 Capital Accord (“Basel I”) of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the
“Basel Committee”). In December 2010, the Basel Committee released its final framework
for Basel III, which will strengthen international capital and liquidity regulation. When
implemented by U.S. bank regulatory agencies and fully phased-in, Basel III will change capital
requirements and place greater emphasis on common equity. Implementation of Basel III will
begin on January 1, 2013, and will be phased in over a multi-year period. The U.S. bank regulatory agencies have not yet finalized regulations governing the
implementation of Basel III. Accordingly, the calculations provided below are estimates, based
on Regions’ current understanding of the framework, including the Company’s reading
of the requirements, and informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Regions’ understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as the
regulations are finalized. Because the Basel III implementation regulations are not formally
defined by GAAP and have not yet been finalized and codified, these measures are considered to
be non-GAAP financial measures, and other entities may calculate them differently from Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators
may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful
to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on the same basis. |
