® Non–GAAP Reconciliation: Non-Interest Expense, Non-Interest Income and Revenue Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non -interest expense (non-GAAP). Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non- GAAP). Net interest income and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue. 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 adjustme nts 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.
