* Changes in corporate income tax rates effective in 2018 resulted in a decrease to the taxable equivalent adjustment.

** These market value adjustments relate to assets held for employee benefits that are offset within salaries and employee benefits expense.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to third quarter 2018

Total revenue of approximately $1.4 billion in the fourth quarter decreased approximately 2 percent on a reported basis and 1 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ compared to the prior quarter.

Net interest income and other financing income increased $16 million or 2 percent over the prior quarter and net interest margin rose 5 basis points to 3.55 percent. Net interest margin and net interest income and other financing income benefited from higher interest rates partially offset by higher funding costs. Net interest income and other financing income also benefited from higher average loan balances.

6

Non-interest income decreased $38 million or 7 percent on a reported basis, and $34 million or 7 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾,as increases in service charges and capital markets income were offset by decreases in market value adjustments on employee benefit assets, bank-owned life insurance, mortgage and other non-interest income.

Capital markets income increased 11 percent primarily attributable to higher loan syndication income, fees generated from the placement of permanent financing for real estate customers, and merger and acquisition advisory services partially offset by lower customer interest rate swap income. Swap income declined approximately $6 million due to negative market value adjustments at year-end.

Market volatility in the fourth quarter also drove significant valuation declines in assets held for employee benefits and negatively impacted bank-owned life insurance income. Market value adjustments on total employee benefit assets decreased $22 million, and bank-owned life insurance income decreased $6 million.

Mortgage income decreased 6 percent primarily due to seasonally lower production and sales revenue, partially offset by higher hedging and valuation adjustments on residential mortgage servicing rights and an increase in servicing income. During the quarter, the company also completed the purchase of rights to service approximately $2.7 billion of additional residential mortgage loans.

The decrease in other non-interest income was attributable primarily to a net $3 million decline in the value of certain equity investments in the fourth quarter compared to a net $8 million increase in the third quarter. In addition, $4 million of third quarter leveraged lease termination gains did not repeat.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to fourth quarter 2017

Total revenue increased 2 percent on a reported and adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net interest income and other financing income increased 6 percent, and net interest margin increased 18 basis points. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, net interest income and other financing income increased 6 percent and net interest margin increased 16 basis points. Net interest margin and net interest income and other financing income benefited primarily from higher interest rates partially offset by higher funding costs, as well as a mix shift within the consumer loan portfolio into higher yielding products. Net interest income and other financing income also benefited from higher average loan balances.

Non-interest income decreased 7 percent on a reported basis and 5 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾ as growth in service charges, card and ATM fees, and wealth management income was offset by decreases in market value

7

adjustments on employee benefit assets, capital markets, mortgage, bank-owned life insurance and other non-interest income.

Service charges income increased 8 percent reflecting continued customer account growth, and card and ATM fees increased 5 percent primarily due to higher interchange revenue associated with increased transactions and new account growth. Wealth management income increased 5 percent led by growth in investment services income.

Market volatility in the current quarter drove significant valuation declines in assets held for employee benefits and negatively impacted bank-owned life insurance income. Market value adjustments on total employee benefit assets decreased $21 million, and bank-owned life insurance income decreased $8 million.

Capital markets income decreased 11 percent reflecting lower merger and acquisition advisory services, fees generated from the placement of permanent financing for real estate customers, and customer interest rate swap income. Mortgage income decreased 17 percent attributable primarily to lower secondary marketing gains and lower production.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to third quarter 2018

Non-interest expense decreased 7 percent compared to the third quarter due primarily to a $60 million contribution to the Regions Financial Corporation Foundation during the prior quarter reflected in other non-interest expense. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, non-interest expense decreased 1 percent primarily due to a reduction in salaries and benefits, professional fees, and FDIC insurance assessments. These reductions were partially offset by increases in occupancy expense.

Salaries and benefits decreased 1 percent reflecting the benefit of staffing reductions. This decline was partially offset by one additional workday in the fourth quarter and an increase in incentive-based compensation. Professional fees decreased 16 percent attributable to lower legal fees, and FDIC insurance assessments decreased 36 percent reflecting the discontinuation of the FDIC's surcharge. Occupancy expense increased 5 percent attributable to storm-related charges associated with Hurricane Michael.

9

The company's reported fourth quarter efficiency ratio was 58.7 percent and 58.1 percent on an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾. The fourth quarter effective tax rate was approximately 17 percent reflecting beneficial adjustments for certain state tax matters and retrospective tax accounting method changes finalized in the quarter. The effective tax rate was approximately 20 percent for the full-year 2018.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to fourth quarter 2017

Non-interest expense decreased 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter of the prior year primarily due to a $40 million contribution to the Regions Financial Corporation Foundation during the prior year reflected in other non-interest expense. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾,non-interest expense decreased 3 percent primarily due to lower salaries and benefits, FDIC insurance, and Visa class B shares expense, partially offset by increases in occupancy, professional fees, and provision for unfunded credit losses.

Salaries and benefits decreased 2 percent compared to the fourth quarter of the prior year, and 3 percent excluding the impact of severance charges, reflecting the impact of staffing reductions. This decline was partially offset by one additional workday in the current year quarter and an increase in incentive-based compensation. Staffing levels declined by 1,045 full-time equivalent positions or 5 percent from the fourth quarter of the prior year.

* 2018 average residential first mortgage balances include the impact of a $254 million loan sale during the first quarter of 2018.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to third quarter 2018

Average loans and leases increased 1 percent to $81.9 billion in the fourth quarter. Adjusted⁽¹⁾ average loans and leases increased 1 percent reflecting broad-based growth across the business and consumer lending portfolios.

Average balances in the business lending portfolio increased 2 percent. Growth in commercial and industrial loans was broad-based across the corporate and middle market portfolios, driven by specialized lending, government and institutional banking, and real-estate investment trust portfolios. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans decreased modestly, while investor real estate loans increased 3 percent driven by growth in term lending primarily within the office and industrial property types.

Adjusted⁽¹⁾ average consumer loans increased 1 percent with growth led by a 12 percent increase in indirect-other consumer, a 2 percent increase in consumer credit card, and a modest increase in residential first mortgage loans partially offset by a 2 percent decline in home equity lending.

Average loans and leases increased 3 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, and adjusted⁽¹⁾ average loans increased 4 percent.

11

Average balances in the business lending portfolio increased 5 percent as growth in commercial and industrial loans was partially offset by a decline in owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Investor real estate loans increased 3 percent driven primarily by growth in term lending.

Adjusted⁽¹⁾ average consumer balances increased 3 percent as growth in indirect-other consumer, residential first mortgage, indirect-vehicle, consumer credit card, and other consumer loans was partially offset by declines in home equity lending.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to third quarter 2018

Total average deposit balances decreased less than 1 percent to $93.2 billion in the fourth quarter.

Average deposits in the Consumer segment decreased $318 million or 1 percent and Corporate segment average deposits decreased $240 million or 1 percent. Average deposits declined approximately 3 percent in the Wealth Management segment and included the impact of ongoing strategic reductions of certain collateralized deposits. Average deposits in the Other segment also decreased modestly.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to fourth quarter 2017

Total average deposit balances decreased 4 percent from the prior year as growth in average Consumer segment deposits was offset by strategic reductions in Wealth Management and Other segment deposits. In addition, Corporate segment deposits decreased $2.0 billion or 7 percent primarily due to customers using liquidity to pay down debt or invest in their businesses.

* Excludes guaranteed residential first mortgages that are 90+ days past due and still accruing.

** Business services represents the combined total of commercial and investor real estate loans.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to third quarter 2018

Overall asset quality reflected seasonality during the fourth quarter. Total non-performing, criticized and troubled debt restructured loans all declined, while net charge-offs and delinquencies increased. Total non-performing loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased to 0.60 percent of loans outstanding, the lowest level since 2007. Business services criticized and total troubled debt restructured loans decreased 5 percent and 14 percent, respectively.

Annualized net charge-offs increased 6 basis points to 0.46 percent of average loans. The provision for loan losses approximated net charge-offs, and the resulting allowance for loan and lease losses totaled 1.01 percent of total loans outstanding and 169 percent of total non-accrual loans. Delinquent loans 90 days or more past due also increased modestly. Overall asset quality remains within our stated risk appetite, and volatility in certain credit metrics can be expected.

Comparison of fourth quarter 2018 to fourth quarter 2017

Annualized net charge-offs increased 15 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, while the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total loans decreased 16 basis points. Total non-performing loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased 24 percent and total business services criticized loans decreased 22 percent, including a 32 percent decline in classified loans. In addition, total troubled debt restructured loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased 36 percent.

In addition, the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ was estimated at 9.8 percent on a fully phased-in basis.

During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased 22.0 million shares of common stock for a total of $370 million through open market purchases and declared $144 million in dividends to common shareholders. On October 24, 2018, the Company's accelerated share repurchase agreement closed and final settlement resulted in an additional delivery of 8.75 million shares of common stock on October 29, 2018, bringing the total shares repurchased under the agreement to 37.8 million. The company’s loan-to-deposit ratio at the end of the quarter was 88 percent, and as of quarter-end, the company remained fully compliant with the liquidity coverage ratio rule.

• Changes in the speed of loan prepayments, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs, loan loss provisions or actual loan losses where our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses.

• Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.

• Loss of customer checking and savings account deposits as customers pursue other, higher-yield investments, which could increase our funding costs.

• Our inability to develop and gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customers’ needs and respond to emerging technological trends in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our revenue.

• Our inability to keep pace with technological changes could result in losing business to competitors.

• Changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses, including legislation and regulations relating to bank products and services, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self-regulatory agencies, which could require us to change certain business practices, increase compliance risk, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses.

• Our ability to obtain a regulatory non-objection (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) to take certain capital actions, including paying dividends and any plans to increase common stock dividends, repurchase common stock under current or future programs, or redeem preferred stock or other regulatory capital instruments, may impact our ability to return capital to stockholders and market perceptions of us.

• Inability of our framework to manage risks associated with our business such as credit risk and operational risk, including third-party vendors and other service providers, which could, among other things, result in a breach of operating or security systems as a result of a cyber attack or similar act or failure to deliver our services effectively.

15

• Dependence on key suppliers or vendors to obtain equipment and other supplies for our business on acceptable terms.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures

Management uses pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP) and adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), as well as the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) and the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP) to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the efficiency ratio. Net interest income and other financing income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments related to tax reform to arrive at adjusted net interest income and other financing income (non-GAAP). Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the fee income ratio. Adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP) and adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP) are used to determine adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP). Net interest income and other financing income (GAAP) on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis is presented excluding certain adjustments related to tax reform to arrive at adjusted net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP). Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the fee income and efficiency ratios. 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.

Tangible common stockholders’ equity ratios have become a focus of some investors and management believes they may assist investors in analyzing the capital position of the Company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common stockholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common stockholders’ equity is not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in any amount by federal banking regulations it is currently considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it

16

differently than Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common stockholders’ equity, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.

The calculation of the fully phased-in pro-forma "Common equity Tier 1" (CET1) is based on Regions’ understanding of the Final Basel III requirements. For Regions, the Basel III framework became effective on a phased-in approach starting in 2015 with full implementation beginning in 2019. The calculation includes estimated pro-forma amounts for the ratio on a fully phased-in basis. Regions’ current understanding of the final framework includes certain assumptions, including the Company’s interpretation of the requirements, and informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Regions’ understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as analysis and discussions with regulators continue. Because Regions is not currently subject to the fully-phased in capital rules, this pro-forma measure is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure, and other entities may calculate it differently from Regions’ disclosed calculation.

A company's regulatory capital 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 broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the prescribed risk-weighted percentage. The resulting weighted values from each of the 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. CET1 capital is then divided by this denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the CET1 capital ratio. The amounts disclosed as risk-weighted assets are calculated consistent with banking regulatory requirements on a fully phased-in basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of earnings that excludes selected items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders.

Management and the Board of Directors utilize non-GAAP measures as follows:

•Preparation of Regions' operating budgets

•Monthly financial performance reporting

•Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results (management only)

•Presentation to investors of company performance

Financial Supplement to Fourth Quarter 2018 Earnings Release

Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Income ("PPI") and Adjusted PPI (non-GAAP)

The Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Income tables below present computations of pre-tax pre-provision income from continuing operations excluding certain adjustments (non-GAAP). Regions believes that the presentation of PPI and the exclusion of certain items from PPI 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of income that excludes certain adjustments does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders.

NM - Not Meaningful

(1) Capital markets income primarily relates to capital raising activities that includes debt securities underwriting and placement, loan syndication and placement, as well as foreign exchange, derivative and merger and acquisition advisory services.

(2) These market value adjustments relate to assets held for employee benefits that are offset within salaries and employee benefits expense.

(3) Total mortgage production represents production during the period, including amounts sold into the secondary market as well as amounts retained in Regions' residential first mortgage loan portfolio.

(4) Total wealth management income presented above does not include the portion of service charges on deposit accounts and similar smaller dollar amounts that are also attributable to the wealth management segment.

Selected Non-Interest Income Variance Analysis

• Bank-owned life insurance and market value adjustments on employee benefits assets decreased due to significant valuation declines related to market volatility in the fourth quarter of 2018.

• Other non-interest income decreased primarily due to a net $3 million decline in the value of certain equity investments in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to a net $8 million increase in the third quarter of 2018. In addition, leveraged lease termination gains of $4 million were recognized in the third quarter.

_________

Note - In the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted new accounting guidance, which required certain components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost to be reclassified from salaries and employee benefits to other. The guidance required retrospective application. Therefore, all prior period amounts impacted by this guidance have been revised.

(1) Salaries and employee benefits expense includes severance charges for each of the quarters. See the amounts for the respective quarters on page 8.

(2) Salaries and employee benefits expense includes severance charges of $61 million for 2018 and $10 million for 2017.

Selected Non-Interest Expense Variance Analysis

• FDIC insurance assessments expense decreased in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to the discontinuation of the surcharge, partially offset by increases in the base assessment.

• Other non-interest expense decreased in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to a $60 million contribution to the Regions Financial Corporation Foundation during the third quarter.

Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Interest Income and Other Financing Income, Adjusted Net Interest Income/Margin FTE Basis, Adjusted Efficiency Ratios, Adjusted Fee Income Ratios, Adjusted Non-Interest Income/Expense, and Adjusted Operating Leverage Ratios - Continuing Operations

The table below and on the following page present computations of the net interest margin; efficiency ratio, which is a measure of productivity, generally calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue; and the fee income ratio, generally calculated as non-interest income divided by total revenue. Management uses these ratios to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the efficiency ratio. Net interest income and other financing income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments related to tax reform to arrive at adjusted net interest income and other financing income (non-GAAP). Net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments related to tax reform to arrive at adjusted net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP). Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the fee income ratio. Net interest income and other financing income and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue. Net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the fee income and efficiency ratios. 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. The table on the following page presents a computation of the operating leverage ratio (non-GAAP) which is the period to period percentage change in adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP) less the percentage change in adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP). 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.

Return Ratios

The tables below provide a calculation of “return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity”. Tangible common stockholders’ equity ratios have become a focus of some investors and management believes they may assist investors in analyzing the capital position of the Company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common stockholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common stockholders’ equity is not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in any amount by federal banking regulations it is currently considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it differently than Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common stockholders’ equity, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.

Adjusted Net Charge-offs and Ratios (non-GAAP)

Select calculations for annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (GAAP) are presented in the table below. During the first quarter of 2018, Regions made the strategic decision to sell certain primarily performing troubled debt restructured, as well as, certain non-restructured interest-only residential first mortgage loans. These loans were marked down to fair value through net charge-offs. Management believes that excluding the incremental increase to net charge-offs from the affected net charge-off ratios to arrive at an adjusted net charge-off ratio (non-GAAP) will assist investors in analyzing the Company's credit quality performance as well as provide a better basis from which to predict future performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

(2) The balance of Regions' home equity portfolio was $9,257 million at December 31, 2018 consisting of $5,871 million of home equity lines of credit and $3,386 million of closed-end home equity loans. The home equity lines of credit presented in the table above are based on maturity date for lines with a balloon payment and draw period expiration date for lines that convert to a repayment period. The closed-end loans were primarily originated as amortizing loans, and were therefore excluded from the table above.

Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible Common Ratios and Capital

The following tables provide the calculation of the end of period “tangible common stockholders’ equity” and "tangible common book value per share" ratios, a reconciliation of stockholders’ equity (GAAP) to tangible common stockholders’ equity (non-GAAP), and the fully phased-in pro-forma of Basel III common equity Tier 1 (non-GAAP).

The calculation of the fully phased-in pro-forma "Common equity Tier 1" (CET1) is based on Regions’ understanding of the Final Basel III requirements. For Regions, the Basel III framework became effective on a phased-in approach starting in 2015 with full implementation beginning in 2019. The calculation provided below includes estimated pro-forma amounts for the ratio on a fully phased-in basis. Regions’ current understanding of the final framework includes certain assumptions, including the Company’s interpretation of the requirements, and informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Regions’ understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as analyses and discussions with regulators continue. Because Regions is not currently subject to the fully phased-in capital rules, this pro-forma measure is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure, and other entities may calculate it differently from Regions’ disclosed calculation.

A company's regulatory capital 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 broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the prescribed risk-weighted percentage. The resulting weighted values from each of the 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. Common equity Tier 1 capital is then divided by this denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio. The amounts disclosed as risk-weighted assets are calculated consistent with banking regulatory requirements on a fully phased-in basis.

Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common stockholders' equity and the fully phased-in Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on these same bases.

This release may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect Regions’ current views with respect to future events and financial performance. 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 current 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, and because they also relate to the future they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described below:

• Current and future economic and market conditions in the U.S. generally or in the communities we serve, including the effects of possible declines in property values, increases in unemployment rates and potential reductions of economic growth, which may adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and conditions.

• Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

• The effects of a possible downgrade in the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or outlook, which could result in risks to us and general economic conditions that we are not able to predict.

• Possible changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity.

• Any impairment of our goodwill or other intangibles, any repricing of assets, or any adjustment of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets due to changes in law, adverse changes in the economic environment, declining operations of the reporting unit or other factors.

• The effect of changes in tax laws, including the effect of Tax Reform and any future interpretations of or amendments to Tax Reform, which may impact our earnings, capital ratios and our ability to return capital to shareholders.

• Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans and leases, including operating leases.

• Changes in the speed of loan prepayments, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs, loan loss provisions or actual loan losses where our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses.

• Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.

• Loss of customer checking and savings account deposits as customers pursue other, higher-yield investments, which could increase our funding costs.

• Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits and the related effect on our ability to increase assets and to attract deposits, which could adversely affect our net income.

• Our ability to effectively compete with other traditional and non-traditional financial services companies, some of whom possess greater financial resources than we do or are subject to different regulatory standards than we are.

• Our inability to develop and gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customers’ needs and respond to emerging technological trends in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our revenue.

• Our inability to keep pace with technological changes could result in losing business to competitors.

• Changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses, including legislation and regulations relating to bank products and services, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self-regulatory agencies, which could require us to change certain business practices, increase compliance risk, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses.

• Our ability to obtain a regulatory non-objection (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) to take certain capital actions, including paying dividends and any plans to increase common stock dividends, repurchase common stock under current or future programs, or redeem preferred stock or other regulatory capital instruments, may impact our ability to return capital to stockholders and market perceptions of us.

• Our ability to comply with stress testing and capital planning requirements (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) may continue to require a significant investment of our managerial resources due to the importance and intensity of such tests and requirements.

• Our ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including, among other things, the Basel III capital standards and the LCR rule), including our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms, and if we fail to meet requirements, our financial condition could be negatively impacted.

• The effects of any developments, changes or actions relating to any litigation or regulatory proceedings brought against us or any of our subsidiaries.

• The costs, including possibly incurring fines, penalties, or other negative effects (including reputational harm) of any adverse judicial, administrative, or arbitral rulings or proceedings, regulatory enforcement actions, or other legal actions to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party, and which may adversely affect our results.

• Our 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 our business.

• Our ability to execute on our strategic and operational plans, including our ability to fully realize the financial and non-financial benefits relating to our strategic initiatives.

• The risks and uncertainties related to our acquisition or divestiture of businesses.

• The success of our marketing efforts in attracting and retaining customers.

• Our ability to recruit and retain talented and experienced personnel to assist in the development, management and operation of our products and services may be affected by changes in laws and regulations in effect from time to time.

• Fraud or misconduct by our customers, employees or business partners.

Non-GAAP reconciliation: adjusted average loans Regions believes adjusting total average loans for the impact of the first quarter 2018 residential first mortgage loan sale and the indirect vehicles third-party exit portfolio, provides a meaningful calculation of loan growth rates and presents them on the same basis as that applied by management.

Non-GAAP reconciliation: NII/NIM, non-interest income/expense, operating leverage and efficiency ratio The table below and on the following page present computations of the net interest margin; efficiency ratio, which is a measure of productivity, generally calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue; and the fee income ratio, generally calculated as non-interest income divided by total revenue. Management uses these ratios to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the efficiency ratio. Net interest income and other financing income (GAAP) on a taxable-equivalent basis is presented excluding certain adjustments related to tax reform to arrive at adjusted net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP). Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the fee income ratio. Net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the fee income and efficiency ratios. 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. The table on the following page presents a computation of the operating leverage ratio (non-GAAP) which is the period-to-period percentage change in adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP) less the percentage change in adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP). 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.

Non-GAAP reconciliation: Basel III common equity tier 1 ratio – fully phased-in pro-forma The calculation of the fully phased-in pro-forma "Common equity Tier 1" (CET1) is based on Regions’ understanding of the Final Basel III requirements. For Regions, the Basel III framework became effective on a phased-in approach starting in 2015 with full implementation beginning in 2019. The calculation provided below includes estimated pro-forma amounts for the ratio on a fully phased-in basis. Regions’ current understanding of the final framework includes certain assumptions, including the Company’s interpretation of the requirements, and informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Regions’ understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as analyses and discussions with regulators continue. Because Regions is not currently subject to the fully phased-in capital rules, this pro-forma measure is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure, and other entities may calculate it differently from Regions’ disclosed calculation. A company's regulatory capital 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 broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the prescribed risk-weighted percentage. The resulting weighted values from each of the 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. Common equity Tier 1 capital is then divided by this denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio. The amounts disclosed as risk- weighted assets are calculated consistent with banking regulatory requirements on a fully phased-in basis. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common stockholders' equity and the fully phased-in Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on these same bases As of and for Quarter Ended ($ amounts in millions) 12/31/2018 9/30/2018 12/31/2017 Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio—Fully Phased-In Pro-Forma (1) Stockholder's equity (GAAP) $ 15,090 $ 14,770 $ 16,192 Non-qualifying goodwill and intangibles (4,838) (4,845) (4,972) Adjustments, including all components of accumulated other comprehensive income, disallowed deferred tax assets, threshold deductions and other adjustments 946 1,376 712 Preferred stock (GAAP) (820) (820) (820) Basel III common equity Tier 1—Fully Phased-In Pro-Forma (non-GAAP) D $ 10,378 $ 10,481 $ 11,112 Basel III risk-weighted assets—Fully Phased-In Pro-Forma (non-GAAP) E $ 105,741 $ 103,721 $ 101,498 Basel III common equity Tier 1 ratio—Fully Phased-In Pro-Forma (non-GAAP) D/E 9.8% 10.1% 11.0% (1) Current quarter amounts and the resulting ratio are estimated. 17

Non-GAAP reconciliation: pre-tax pre-provision income The Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Income (PPI) tables below present computations of pre-tax pre-provision income from continuing operations excluding certain adjustments (non-GAAP). Regions believes that the presentation of PPI and the exclusion of certain items from PPI 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of income that excludes certain adjustments does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders.   Quarter Ended ($ amounts in millions) 12/31/2018 9/30/2018 12/31/2017 4Q18 vs. 3Q18 4Q18 vs. 4Q17 Net income from continuing operations available to common shareholders (GAAP) $ 390 $ 354 $ 304 $ 36 10.2 % $ 86 28.3 % Preferred dividends (GAAP) 16 16 16 — — % — — % Income tax expense (GAAP) 85 85 221 — — % (136) (61.5)% Income from continuing operations before income taxes (GAAP) 491 455 541 36 7.9 % (50) (9.2)% Provision (credit) for loan losses (GAAP) 95 84 (44) 11 13.1 % 139 (315.9)% Pre-tax pre-provision income from continuing operations (non-GAAP) 586 539 497 47 8.7 % 89 17.9 % Other adjustments: Securities (gains) losses, net — — (10) — NM 10 (100.0)% Leveraged lease termination gains — (4) — 4 (100.0)% — NM Reduction in leveraged lease interest income resulting from tax reform — — 6 — NM (6) (100.0)% Salaries and employee benefits—severance charges 7 5 2 2 40.0 % 5 250.0 % Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges 3 4 9 (1) (25.0)% (6) (66.7)% Contribution to Regions' charitable foundation associated with tax reform — 60 40 (60) (100.0)% (40) (100.0)% Expenses associated with residential mortgage sale — — — — NM — — % Total other adjustments 10 65 47 (55) (84.6)% (37) (78.7)% Adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income from continuing operations (non- GAAP) $ 596 $ 604 $ 544 $ (8) (1.3)% $ 52 9.6 % NM - Not Meaningful. 18

Non-GAAP reconciliation: Adjusted Net Charge- offs and Ratios Adjusted Net Charge-offs and Ratios (non-GAAP) Select calculations for annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (GAAP) are presented in the table below. During the first quarter of 2018, Regions made the strategic decision to sell certain primarily performing troubled debt restructured, as well as, certain non-restructured interest-only residential first mortgage loans. These loans were marked down to fair value through net charge-offs. Management believes that excluding the incremental increase to net charge-offs from the affected net charge-off ratios to arrive at an adjusted net charge-off ratio (non-GAAP) will assist investors in analyzing the Company's credit quality performance as well as provide a better basis from which to predict future performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

Forward-looking statements Forward-Looking Statements This release may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect Regions’ current views with respect to future events and financial performance. 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 current 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, and because they also relate to the future they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described below: • Current and future economic and market conditions in the U.S. generally or in the communities we serve, including the effects of possible declines in property values, increases in unemployment rates and potential reductions of economic growth, which may adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and conditions. • Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings. • The effects of a possible downgrade in the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or outlook, which could result in risks to us and general economic conditions that we are not able to predict. • Possible changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity. • Any impairment of our goodwill or other intangibles, any repricing of assets, or any adjustment of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets due to changes in law, adverse changes in the economic environment, declining operations of the reporting unit or other factors. • The effect of changes in tax laws, including the effect of Tax Reform and any future interpretations of or amendments to Tax Reform, which may impact our earnings, capital ratios and our ability to return capital to shareholders. • Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans and leases, including operating leases. • Changes in the speed of loan prepayments, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs, loan loss provisions or actual loan losses where our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses. • Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities. • Loss of customer checking and savings account deposits as customers pursue other, higher-yield investments, which could increase our funding costs. • Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits and the related effect on our ability to increase assets and to attract deposits, which could adversely affect our net income. • Our ability to effectively compete with other traditional and non-traditional financial services companies, some of whom possess greater financial resources than we do or are subject to different regulatory standards than we are. • Our inability to develop and gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customers’ needs and respond to emerging technological trends in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our revenue. • Our inability to keep pace with technological changes could result in losing business to competitors. • Changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses, including legislation and regulations relating to bank products and services, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self- regulatory agencies, which could require us to change certain business practices, increase compliance risk, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses. • Our ability to obtain a regulatory non-objection (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) to take certain capital actions, including paying dividends and any plans to increase common stock dividends, repurchase common stock under current or future programs, or redeem preferred stock or other regulatory capital instruments, may impact our ability to return capital to stockholders and market perceptions of us. • Our ability to comply with stress testing and capital planning requirements (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) may continue to require a significant investment of our managerial resources due to the importance and intensity of such tests and requirements. • Our ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including, among other things, the Basel III capital standards and the LCR rule), including our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms, and if we fail to meet requirements, our financial condition could be negatively impacted. • The effects of any developments, changes or actions relating to any litigation or regulatory proceedings brought against us or any of our subsidiaries. • The costs, including possibly incurring fines, penalties, or other negative effects (including reputational harm) of any adverse judicial, administrative, or arbitral rulings or proceedings, regulatory enforcement actions, or other legal actions to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party, and which may adversely affect our results. • Our 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 our business. 21

Forward-looking statements (continued) • Our ability to execute on our strategic and operational plans, including our ability to fully realize the financial and non-financial benefits relating to our strategic initiatives. • The risks and uncertainties related to our acquisition or divestiture of businesses. • The success of our marketing efforts in attracting and retaining customers. • Our ability to recruit and retain talented and experienced personnel to assist in the development, management and operation of our products and services may be affected by changes in laws and regulations in effect from time to time. • Fraud or misconduct by our customers, employees or business partners. • Any inaccurate or incomplete information provided to us by our customers or counterparties. • Inability of our framework to manage risks associated with our business such as credit risk and operational risk, including third-party vendors and other service providers, which could, among other things, result in a breach of operating or security systems as a result of a cyber attack or similar act or failure to deliver our services effectively. • Dependence on key suppliers or vendors to obtain equipment and other supplies for our business on acceptable terms. • The inability of our internal controls and procedures to prevent, detect or mitigate any material errors or fraudulent acts. • The effects of geopolitical instability, including wars, conflicts and terrorist attacks and the potential impact, directly or indirectly, on our businesses. • The effects of man-made and natural disasters, including fires, floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, and environmental damage, which may negatively affect our operations and/or our loan portfolios and increase our cost of conducting business. • Changes in commodity market prices and conditions could adversely affect the cash flows of our borrowers operating in industries that are impacted by changes in commodity prices (including businesses indirectly impacted by commodities prices such as businesses that transport commodities or manufacture equipment used in the production of commodities), which could impair their ability to service any loans outstanding to them and/or reduce demand for loans in those industries. • Our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, malware, “denial of service” attacks, “hacking” and identity theft, a failure of which could disrupt our business and result in the disclosure of and/or misuse or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, disruption or damage to our systems, increased costs, losses, or adverse effects to our reputation. • Our ability to realize our adjusted efficiency ratio target as part of our expense management initiatives. • Possible downgrades in our credit ratings or outlook could increase the costs of funding from capital markets. • The effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect us or the banking industry generally could require us to change certain business practices, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses. • The effects of the failure of any component of our business infrastructure provided by a third party could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure of and/or misuse of confidential information or proprietary information, increase our costs, negatively affect our reputation, and cause losses. • Our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends to stockholders. • Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB or other regulatory agencies could materially affect how we report our financial results. • Other risks identified from time to time in reports that we file with the SEC. • Fluctuations in the price of our common stock and inability to complete stock repurchases in the time frame and/or on the terms anticipated. • The effects of any damage to our reputation resulting from developments related to any of the items identified above. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
