Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary

This Annual Report on Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by Regions Financial Corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf to analysts, investors, the media and others, may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The terms “Regions,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” as used herein mean collectively Regions Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries when or where appropriate.The words “future,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “objectives,” “estimates,” “expects,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “can,” and similar terms and expressions often signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control. 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 United States generally or in the communities we serve (in particular the Southeastern United States), including the effects of possible declines in property values, increases in interest rates and unemployment rates, inflation, financial market disruptions 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 businesses and our financial results and conditions.

•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.

•Volatility and uncertainty related to inflation and the effects of inflation, which may lead to increased costs for businesses and consumers and potentially contribute to poor business and economic conditions generally.

•The impact of pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on our businesses, operations, and financial results and conditions. The duration and severity of any pandemic could disrupt the global economy, adversely affect our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and increase our allowance for credit losses, impair collateral values, and result in lost revenue or additional expenses.

•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 tax law, adverse changes in the economic environment, declining operations of the reporting unit or other factors.

•The effect of new tax legislation and/or interpretation of existing tax law, 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, credit loss provisions or actual credit losses where our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses.

•Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to declining 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.

•Rising interest rates could negatively impact the value of our portfolio of investment securities.

•The loss of value of our investment portfolio could negatively impact market perceptions of us.

•The effects of social media on market perceptions of us and banks generally.

6

•Volatility in the financial services industry (including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions), along with actions taken by governmental agencies to address such turmoil, could affect the ability of depository institutions, including us, to attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital.

•Our ability to effectively compete with other traditional and non-traditional financial services companies, including fintechs, 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, including those related to the offering of digital banking and financial services, 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, such as special FDIC assessments, any new long-term debt requirements, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self-regulatory agencies, including as a result of the changes in U.S. presidential administration, control of the U.S. Congress, and changes in personnel at the bank 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 capital actions, including dividend payments, common stock repurchases, or redemptions of preferred stock, must not cause us to fall below minimum capital ratio requirements, with applicable buffers taken into account, and must comply with other requirements and restrictions under law or imposed by our regulators, which may impact our ability to return capital to shareholders.

•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 of such tests and requirements.

•Our ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including, among other things, the Basel III capital standards), including our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms, and if we fail to meet requirements, our financial condition and market perceptions of us 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 businesses.

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

•The risks and uncertainties related to our acquisition or divestiture of businesses and risks related to such acquisitions, including that the expected synergies, cost savings and other financial or other benefits may not be realized within expected timeframes, or might be less than projected; and difficulties in integrating acquired 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 businesses, 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.

•Our ability to identify and address operational risks associated with the introduction of or changes to products, services, or delivery platforms.

•Dependence on key suppliers or vendors to obtain equipment and other supplies for our businesses 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, civil unrest, and terrorist attacks and the potential impact, directly or indirectly, on our businesses.

7

•The effects of man-made and natural disasters, including fires, floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, and environmental damage (specifically in the Southeastern United States), which may negatively affect our operations and/or our loan portfolios and increase our cost of conducting business. The severity and frequency of future earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods and other weather-related events are difficult to predict and may be exacerbated by global climate change.

•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, ransomware, “denial of service” attacks, “hacking” and identity theft, including account take-overs, a failure of which could disrupt our businesses 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 achieve our expense management initiatives.

•Market replacement of LIBOR and the related effect on our LIBOR-based financial products and contracts, including, but not limited to, derivative products, debt obligations, deposits, investments, and loans.

•Possible downgrades in our credit ratings or outlook could, among other negative impacts, 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, in particular Regions Bank, could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends to shareholders.

•Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB or other regulatory agencies could materially affect our financial statements and how we report those results, and expectations and preliminary analyses relating to how such changes will affect our financial results could prove incorrect.

•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 anti-takeover laws and exclusive forum provision in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

•The effects of any damage to our reputation resulting from developments related to any of the items identified above.

•Other risks identified from time to time in reports that we file with the SEC.

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, 2022 and in Regions’ subsequent filings with the SEC.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time, either as a result of future developments, new information or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions” or the "Company”) provides a full range of banking and bank-related services to individual and corporate customers through its subsidiaries and branch offices located across the South, Midwest and Texas as well as delivering specialty capabilities nationwide. Regions is subject to the regulations of certain government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by certain regulatory authorities.

The accounting and reporting policies of Regions and the methods of applying those policies that materially affect the consolidated financial statements conform with GAAP and with general financial services industry practices. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes to the consolidated financial statements necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Regions has evaluated all subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

During 2023, the Company adopted new accounting guidance. See below and Note 12 for related disclosures.

MODIFICATIONS TO BORROWERS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that eliminated the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, also referred to as modifications to troubled borrowers. The guidance also requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. Regions applied the guidance prospectively, except Regions used the modified-retrospective transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs. The cumulative effect of the modified-retrospective application was a decrease in the allowance of $38 million and an increase to retained earnings of $28 million, net of taxes. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding TDRs and the related allowance for credit loss accounting prior to the adoption of modifications to troubled borrowers guidance.

Modifications to troubled borrowers

Modifications to troubled borrowers are loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the time of modification and are undertaken in order to improve the likelihood of repayment. Modification types classified as modifications to troubled borrowers include interest rate reductions, other than insignificant term extensions, other than insignificant payment deferrals, principal forgiveness, or any combination of these. Further details are as follows:

•Interest rate reduction modifications include instances where the absolute interest rate is reduced as part of the modification. In instances where the rate index changes for variable-rate loans, Regions evaluates whether or not the absolute interest rate decreases from the original rate to the updated rate.

•Term extensions are maturity extensions, many of which occur through renewals or restructurings.

•Payment deferrals include modifications wherein the contractual payment term is extended. Examples of payment deferral modifications include, but are not limited to, re-agings, payment delays or holidays, lengthening of amortization terms, allowing for an interest-only payment period, and capitalizing interest payments in loan restructurings.

•Regions rarely grants principal forgiveness modifications.

Modifications to troubled borrowers are subject to policies governing accrual/non-accrual evaluation consistent with all other loans of the same product type as discussed in Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As such, modifications to troubled borrowers may include loans remaining on non-accrual, moving to non-accrual, or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances.

Allowance for credit losses

The allowance is intended to cover expected credit losses over the contractual life of loans measured at amortized cost, including unfunded commitments. Upon the adoption of modifications to troubled borrowers guidance in January 2023, the Company eliminated TDR and reasonable expectations of a TDR ("RETDR") designations and specific measurement rules within the calculation of the allowance credit losses, which resulted in a decrease to the allowance upon application of the modified-retrospective transition method discussed above. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the

14

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for previous discussion of allowance measurement methodology for these items.

Modifications identified as modifications to troubled borrowers have no separate or distinct allowance measurement rules under the new guidance. As such, these loans are included in their respective loan pools (if they do not qualify for specific evaluation) and expected losses are determined by the Company's allowance models and qualitative framework.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The method and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments entered into in 2023 is discussed below. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding fair value measurements.

Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate the estimated fair values, and are considered Level 2 measurements as similar instruments are traded in active markets.

_________

(1)The gross unrealized losses recognized in OCI on securities held to maturity resulted from a transfer of securities available for sale to held to maturity in the second quarter of 2013.

Debt securities with carrying values of $23.0 billion and $8.8 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits and other borrowing arrangements, including the BTFP. Securities that are pledged to secure funding from the BTFP are unencumbered until an advance is taken through the program.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities held to maturity and debt securities available for sale at June 30, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The number of individual debt positions in an unrealized loss position in the tables above decreased from 1,806 at December 31, 2022 to 1,804 at June 30, 2023. The decrease in the number of securities and the total amount of unrealized losses from year-end 2022 was primarily due to changes in market interest rates. In instances where an unrealized loss existed, there was no indication of an adverse change in credit on the underlying positions in the tables above. As it relates to these positions, management believes no individual unrealized loss represented credit impairment as of those dates. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the positions before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of debt securities available for sale were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. As part of the Company's normal process for evaluating impairment, management did not identify any positions where impairment was believed to exist in either of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

PORTFOLIO SEGMENT RISK FACTORS

Regions' portfolio segments are commercial, investor real estate, and consumer. Classes within each segment present unique credit risks. Refer to Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for information regarding Regions' portfolio segments and related classes, as well as the risks specific to each.

CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS

The commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments' primary credit quality indicator is internal risk ratings which are detailed by categories related to underlying credit quality and probability of default. Regions assigns these risk ratings at loan origination and reviews the relationship utilizing a risk-based approach on, at minimum, an annual basis or at any time management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers' ability to fulfill their obligations. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in this review process. Regions' ratings are aligned to federal banking regulators' definitions and are utilized to develop the associated allowance. Refer to Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for information regarding commercial risk ratings.

Regions' consumer portfolio segment has various classes that present unique credit risks. Regions considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, accrual status, days past due status, unemployment rates, home prices, and geography as credit quality indicators for the consumer loan portfolio. FICO scores are obtained at origination as part of Regions' formal underwriting process. Refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for all consumer loans, including residential first mortgage loans. Current FICO data is not available for certain loans in the portfolio for various reasons; for example, if customers do not use sufficient credit, an updated score may not be available. These categories are utilized to develop the associated allowance for credit losses. The higher the FICO score the less probability of default and vice versa.

The following tables present applicable credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio segments and classes, excluding loans held for sale, by vintage year as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Gross charge-offs are also presented by vintage year for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the prospective adoption of new accounting guidance. See Note 1 and Note 12 for additional information. Classes in the commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments are disclosed by risk rating. Classes in the consumer portfolio segment are disclosed by current FICO scores. Refer to Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information regarding Regions' credit quality indicators.

AGING AND NON-ACCRUAL ANALYSIS

The following tables include an aging analysis of DPD and loans on non-accrual status for each portfolio segment and class as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Loans on non-accrual status with no related allowance totaled $160 million comprised of commercial and investor real estate loans at June 30, 2023. Loans on non-accrual status with no related allowance totaled $151 million comprised of commercial loans at December 31, 2022. Non–accrual loans with no related allowance typically include loans where the underlying collateral is deemed sufficient to recover all remaining principal. Loans that have been fully charged-off do not appear in the tables below.

MODIFICATIONS TO BORROWERS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY

Modifications to troubled borrowers are loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the time of modification and are undertaken in order to improve the likelihood of repayment. Typical modifications include accommodations such as renewals and forbearances. The majority of Regions' commercial and investor real estate modifications to troubled borrowers are the result of renewals of classified loans wherein there has been an interest rate reduction and/or maturity extension (that is considered other than insignificant). Similarly, Regions works to meet the individual needs of troubled consumer borrowers through its CAP. Regions designed the program to allow for customer-tailored modifications with the goal of keeping customers in their homes and avoiding foreclosure where possible. Modifications may be offered to any borrower experiencing financial hardship regardless of the borrower's payment status. Consumer modifications to troubled borrowers primarily involve an interest rate reduction and/or a payment deferral or maturity extension that is considered other than insignificant. All CAP modifications that involve an interest rate reduction, principal forgiveness, other than insignificant payment deferral or term extension and/or a combination of these are disclosed as modifications to troubled borrowers because the customer documents a financial hardship in order to participate. Refer to Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" for additional information regarding the Company's modifications to troubled borrowers.

For each portfolio segment and class, the following tables present the end of period balance of new modifications to troubled borrowers and the related percentage of the loan portfolio period-end balance by the type of modification in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023. During the periods presented, the Company did not make any modifications of principal forgiveness.

Prior to the Company’s adoption of new guidance related to modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, Regions accounted for loans in which the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty at the modification date and wherein Regions had granted a concession to the borrower as a TDR. Like modifications to troubled borrowers, TDRs were undertaken in order to improve the likelihood of repayment of a loan. However, TDR modifications were different because they may have had a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, other modifications to the structure of the loan that fell outside of normal underwriting policies and procedures, or in limited circumstances forgiveness of principal and/or interest. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 5 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information.

The following tables present the end of period balance for loans modified in a TDR during the periods presented in 2022 by portfolio segment and class, and the financial impact of those modifications. The tables include modifications made to new TDRs, as well as renewals of existing TDRs.

NOTE 4. SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES

The fair value of residential MSRs is calculated using various assumptions including future cash flows, market discount rates, expected prepayment rates, servicing costs and other factors. A significant change in prepayments of mortgages in the servicing portfolio could result in significant changes in the valuation adjustments, thus creating potential volatility in the carrying amount of residential MSRs. The Company compares fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available, and also considers recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.

The table below presents an analysis of residential MSRs under the fair value measurement method: 

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2023		2022		2023		2022
	(In millions)
Carrying value, beginning of period	$	790	$	542	$	812	$	418
Additions	8		10		12		29
Purchases (1)	22		181		32		256
Increase (decrease) in fair value:
Due to change in valuation inputs or assumptions	8		52		(4)		99
Economic amortization associated with borrower repayments (2)	(27)		(15)		(51)		(32)
Carrying value, end of period	$	801	$	770	$	801	$	770

_________

(1)Purchases of residential MSRs can be structured with cash hold back provisions, therefore the timing of payment may be made in future periods.

(2)Includes both total loan payoffs as well as partial paydowns. Regions' MSR decay methodology is a discounted net cash flow approach.

Data and assumptions used in the fair value calculation, as well as the valuation’s sensitivity to rate fluctuations, related to residential MSRs (excluding related derivative instruments) are as follows: 

	June 30
	2023			2022
	(Dollars in millions)
Unpaid principal balance	$	55,277		$	52,965
Weighted-average CPR (%)	8.1		%	7.9		%
Estimated impact on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(42)		$	(66)
Estimated impact on fair value of a 20% increase	$	(79)		$	(107)
Option-adjusted spread (basis points)	475			480
Estimated impact on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(17)		$	(17)
Estimated impact on fair value of a 20% increase	$	(33)		$	(34)
Weighted-average coupon interest rate	3.7		%	3.4		%
Weighted-average remaining maturity (months)	306			309
Weighted-average servicing fee (basis points)	27.2			27.1

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the residential MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption, while in reality changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change. The derivative instruments utilized by Regions would serve to reduce the estimated impacts to fair value included in the table above.

Servicing related fees, which include contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and other ancillary income resulting from the servicing of residential mortgage loans totaled $39 million and $28 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $77 million and $55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Residential mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market with standard representations and warranties regarding certain characteristics such as the quality of the loan, the absence of fraud, the eligibility of the loan for sale and the future servicing associated with the loan. Regions may be required to repurchase these loans at par, or make-whole or indemnify the purchasers for losses incurred when representations and warranties are breached.

Regions maintains an immaterial repurchase liability related to residential mortgage loans sold with representations and warranty provisions. This repurchase liability is reported in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and reflects management’s estimate of losses based on historical repurchase and loss trends, as well as other factors that may result in anticipated losses different from historical loss trends. Adjustments to this reserve are recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES

Regions is an approved DUS lender. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. In connection with the DUS program, Regions services commercial mortgage loans, retains commercial MSRs and intangible assets associated with the DUS license, and assumes a loss share guarantee associated with the loans. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information. Also see Note 11 for additional information related to the guarantee.

Regions' DUS portfolio totaled $78 million and $81 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Regions periodically evaluates DUS MSRs for impairment based on fair value. The estimated fair value of the DUS MSRs was approximately $101 million at June 30, 2023 and $96 million at December 31, 2022.

Servicing related fees in connection with the DUS program, which include contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and other ancillary income resulting from the servicing of DUS commercial mortgage loans totaled $6 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $11 million and $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

COMMON STOCK

Regions' 2022 stress testing results from the FRB reflected that the Company exceeded all minimum capital levels and the SCB will be floored at 2.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022 through the third quarter of 2023. As a Category IV bank, Regions was not required to participate in this year's supervisory capital stress test; however, the Company did receive its SCB reflecting planned capital changes including plans to increase its common stock dividend. From the fourth quarter of 2023 through the third quarter of 2024, the Company's SCB will remain at 2.5 percent.

On April 20, 2022, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of the Company's common stock, permitting purchases from the second quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2023, Regions had repurchased approximately 725 thousand shares of common stock at a total cost of $15 million under this plan. All of these shares were immediately retired upon repurchase and therefore were not included in treasury stock.

Regions declared $0.20 per share in cash dividends for both the first and second quarter of 2023, totaling $0.40 per common share for the first six months of 2023 as compared to $0.17 per common share for the same quarterly periods of 2022, totaling $0.34 per common share for the first six months of 2022.

On July 19, 2023, the Board declared a 20 percent increase to the quarterly common stock dividend to $0.24 which will be payable on October 2, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2023.

(1)The impact of all AOCI activity is shown net of the related tax impact, calculated using an effective tax rate of approximately 25 percent.

(2)Reclassification amount is recognized in net interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

(3)Reclassification amount is recognized in securities gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of income.

(4)Reclassification amount is recognized in other non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, these accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) components are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost (see Note 7 for additional details).

NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share:

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2023		2022		2023		2022
	(In millions, except per share data)
Numerator:

Diluted	0.59		0.59		1.22		1.15

The effects from the assumed exercise of 8 million and 5 million in restricted stock units and awards and performance stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, were not included in the above computations of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

36

The effects from the assumed exercise of 6 million and 4 million in restricted stock units and awards and performance stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, were not included in the above computations of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

NOTE 7. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Regions' defined benefit pension plans cover certain employees as the pension plans are closed to new entrants. The Company also sponsors a SERP, which is a non-qualified pension plan that provides certain senior executive officers defined benefits in relation to their compensation.

Net periodic pension cost (benefit) included the following components:

	Qualified Plans				Non-qualified Plans				Total

_________

(1)In the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into additional trades to transition remaining derivative exposure from LIBOR to SOFR. The table reflects net notional presentation and gross asset and liability presentation to capture the economic impact of the trades. As a part of this transition, the Company is applying certain optional expedients and exceptions in previously adopted accounting relief for hedges.

(2)Derivatives in a gain position are recorded as other assets and derivatives in a loss position are recorded as other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Includes accrued interest as applicable.

(3)Netting adjustments represent amounts recorded to convert derivative assets and derivative liabilities from a gross basis to a net basis in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The net basis takes into account the impact of cash collateral received or posted, legally enforceable master netting agreements, and variation margin that allow Regions to settle derivative contracts with the counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net position with the related cash collateral.

HEDGING DERIVATIVES

Derivatives entered into to manage interest rate risk and facilitate asset/liability management strategies are designated as hedging derivatives. Derivative financial instruments that qualify in a hedging relationship are classified, based on the exposure being hedged, as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for additional information regarding accounting policies for derivatives.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES

Fair value hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the change in fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment.

Regions enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements. Regions also enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on certain of the Company's fixed-rate prepayable and non-prepayable debt securities available for sale. These agreements involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest receipts.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions.

Regions enters into interest rate swaps, options (e.g., floors, caps and collars), and agreements with a combination of these instruments to manage overall cash flow changes related to interest rate risk exposure on variable rate loans. The agreements effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing receive fixed/pay LIBOR or SOFR interest rate swaps and interest rate floors. As of June 30, 2023, Regions is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows into 2029.

38

As of June 30, 2023, cash flow hedges were held at a pre-tax net loss of $719 million, which includes pre-tax net gains of $98 million related to terminated cash flow floors and swaps. Regions expects to reclassify into earnings approximately $391 million in pre-tax expenses due to the net receipt/ payment of interest and amortization on all cash flow hedges within the next twelve months. Included in this amount is $37 million in pre-tax net gains related to the amortization of terminated cash flow floors and swaps.

The following tables present the effect of hedging derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of income and the total amounts for the respective line items affected:

DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

The Company holds a portfolio of interest rate swaps, option contracts, and futures and forward commitments that result from transactions with its commercial customers in which they manage their risks by entering into a derivative with Regions. The Company monitors and manages the net risk in this customer portfolio and enters into separate derivative contracts in order to reduce the overall exposure to pre-defined limits.  For both derivatives with its end customers and derivatives Regions enters into to mitigate the risk in this portfolio, the Company is subject to market risk and the risk that the counterparty will default.

40

The contracts in this portfolio are not designated as accounting hedges and are marked-to market through earnings (in capital markets income) and included in other assets and other liabilities, as appropriate.

Regions enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Regions had $182 million and $118 million, respectively, in total notional amount of interest rate lock commitments. Regions manages market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale with corresponding forward sale commitments. Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage income. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at either the lower of cost or market or at fair value based on management's election. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Regions had $396 million and $233 million, respectively, in total notional amounts related to these forward sale commitments. Changes in mark-to-market from both interest rate lock commitments and corresponding forward sale commitments related to residential mortgage loans are included in mortgage income. Changes in mark-to-market from both interest rate lock commitments and corresponding forward sale commitments related to commercial mortgage loans are included in capital markets income.

Regions has elected to account for residential MSRs at fair value with any changes to fair value recorded in mortgage income. Concurrent with the election to use the fair value measurement method, Regions began using various derivative instruments in the form of forward rate commitments, futures contracts, swaps and swaptions to mitigate the effect of changes in the fair value of its residential MSRs in its consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amount related to these contracts was $3.5 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.

CREDIT DERIVATIVES

Regions has both bought and sold credit protection in the form of participations on interest rate swaps (swap participations). These swap participations, which meet the definition of credit derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to serve the credit needs of customers. Swap participations, whereby Regions has purchased credit protection, entitle Regions to receive a payment from the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to Regions upon early termination of the swap transaction and have maturities between 2023 and 2029. Swap participations, whereby Regions has sold credit protection have maturities between 2023 and 2035. For contracts where Regions sold credit protection, Regions would be required to make payment to the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to the counterparty upon early termination of the swap transaction. Regions bases the current status of the prepayment/performance risk on bought and sold credit derivatives on recently issued internal risk ratings consistent with the risk management practices of unfunded commitments.

Regions’ maximum potential amount of future payments under these contracts as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $446 million. This scenario occurs if variable interest rates were at zero percent and all counterparties defaulted with zero recovery. The fair value of sold protection at June 30, 2023 and 2022 was immaterial. In transactions where Regions has sold credit protection, recourse to collateral associated with the original swap transaction is available to offset some or all of Regions’ obligation.

Regions has bought credit protection in the form of credit default indices. These indices, which meet the definition of credit derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to economically hedge credit spread risk in commercial mortgage loans held for sale whereby the fair value option has been elected. Credit derivatives, whereby Regions has purchased credit protection, entitle Regions to receive a payment from the counterparty if losses on the underlying index exceed a certain threshold, dependent upon the tranche rating of the capital structure.

41

CONTINGENT FEATURES

Certain of Regions’ derivative instrument contracts with broker-dealers contain credit-related termination provisions and/or credit related provisions regarding the posting of collateral, allowing those broker-dealers to terminate the contracts in the event that Regions’ and/or Regions Bank’s credit ratings falls below specified ratings from certain major credit rating agencies. The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments with any credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were $25 million and $17 million, respectively, for which Regions had posted collateral of $24 million and $20 million, respectively, in the normal course of business.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a description of valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value rarely transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. Marketable equity securities and debt securities available for sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the observability of inputs used in valuing the securities. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occur at the beginning of a reporting period.

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis:

(1)All following disclosures related to Level 3 recurring assets do not include those deemed to be immaterial.

(2)As permitted under U.S. GAAP, variation margin collateral payments made or received for derivatives that are centrally cleared are legally characterized as settled. As such, these derivative assets and derivative liabilities and the related variation margin collateral are presented on a net basis on the balance sheet.

42

Assets and liabilities in all levels could result in volatile and material price fluctuations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 assets represent only a portion of the risk to market fluctuations in Regions’ consolidated balance sheets. Further, derivatives included in Levels 2 and 3 are used by ALCO in a holistic approach to managing price fluctuation risks.

The following tables present an analysis of residential MSRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS USING SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS

Residential mortgage servicing rights

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of residential MSRs are OAS and CPR. This valuation requires generating cash flow projections over multiple interest rate scenarios and discounting those cash flows at a risk-adjusted rate. Additionally, the impact of prepayments and changes in the OAS are based on a variety of underlying inputs including servicing costs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The net change in unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings related to MSRs held at period end are disclosed as the changes in valuation inputs or assumptions included in the MSR rollforward table in Note 4 .

The following tables present detailed information regarding material assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022. The tables include the valuation techniques and the significant unobservable inputs utilized. The range of each significant unobservable input as well as the weighted-average within the range utilized at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are included. Following the tables are descriptions of the valuation techniques and the sensitivity of the techniques to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

FAIR VALUE OPTION

The Company elected the option to measure certain commercial mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale are valued based on traded market prices for comparable commercial mortgage-backed securitizations, into which the loans will be placed, adjusted for movements of interest rates and credit spreads. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of these loans was immaterial.

The Company has elected the option to measure certain commercial and industrial loans held for sale at fair value, as these loans are actively traded in the secondary market. The Company is able to obtain fair value estimates for substantially all of these loans through a third party valuation service that is broadly used by market participants. While most of the loans are traded in the market, the volume and level of trading activity is subject to variability and the loans are not exchange-traded. The balance of these loans held for sale was immaterial at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Regions has elected the fair value option for all eligible agency residential first mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell. This election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. Fair values of residential first mortgage loans held for sale are based on traded market prices of similar assets where available and/or discounted cash flows at market interest rates, adjusted for securitization activities that include servicing values and market conditions, and are recorded in loans held for sale. At June 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of these loans totaled $257 million compared to aggregate unpaid principal of $253 million. At December 31, 2022 the aggregate fair value of these loans totaled $160 million compared to aggregate unpaid principal of $157 million.

Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest income on loans held for sale. The following details net gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale, which were recorded in mortgage income in the consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. A net loss resulting from changes in fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale totaled $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and compared to a net gain of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net losses resulting from changes in fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale totaled $16 million and $39 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. These changes in fair value are mostly offset by economic hedging activities. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

NON-RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include loans held for sale for which the fair value option has not been elected, foreclosed property and other real estate and equity investments without a readily determinable fair value; all of which may be considered either Level 2 or Level 3 valuation measurements. Non-recurring fair value adjustments related to loans held for sale, foreclosed property and other real estate are typically a result of the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting during the period. Non-recurring fair value adjustments related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values are the result of impairments or price changes from observable transactions. The balances of each of these assets, as well as the related fair value adjustments during the periods, were immaterial at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

_________

(1)Estimated fair values are consistent with an exit price concept. The assumptions used to estimate the fair values are intended to approximate those that a market participant would use in a hypothetical orderly transaction. In estimating fair value, the Company makes adjustments for estimated changes in interest rates, market liquidity and credit spreads in the periods they are deemed to have occurred.

(2)The estimated fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the loans to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, the value to the Company if the loans were held to maturity is not reflected in the fair value estimate. The fair value discount on the loan portfolio's net carrying amount at June 30, 2023 was $4.2 billion or 4.3 percent.

(3)Excluded from this table is the sales-type, direct financing, and leveraged lease carrying amount of $1.6 billion at June 30, 2023.

(4)The fair value of non-interest-bearing demand accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., the carrying amount) as these instruments have an indeterminate maturity date. Fair values for time deposits are estimated by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on market spreads to benchmark rates.

NOTE 10. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Each of Regions’ reportable segments is a strategic business unit that serves specific needs of Regions’ customers based on the products and services provided. The segments are based on the manner in which management views the financial performance of the business. The Company has three reportable segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder in Other. Additional information about the Company's reportable segments is included in Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The application and development of management reporting methodologies is a dynamic process and is subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements are made, financial results presented by each reportable segment may be periodically revised. Accordingly, the prior periods were updated to reflect these enhancements.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

Regions issues off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with lending activities. The credit risk associated with these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to Regions’ normal credit approval policies and procedures. Regions measures inherent risk associated with these instruments by recording a reserve for unfunded commitments based on an assessment of the likelihood that the guarantee will be funded and the creditworthiness of the customer or counterparty. Collateral is obtained based on management’s assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer. Credit risk is represented in unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Refer to Note 23 "Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information regarding these instruments.

Credit risk associated with these instruments is represented by the contractual amounts indicated in the following table:

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(In millions)
Unused commitments to extend credit	$	64,784	$	65,460
Standby letters of credit	1,882		1,962
Commercial letters of credit	19		75
Liabilities associated with standby letters of credit	23		35
Assets associated with standby letters of credit	26		37
Reserve for unfunded credit commitments	120		118

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

Regions and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to actual or threatened legal proceedings, including litigation and regulatory matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation matters range from individual actions involving a single plaintiff to class action lawsuits and can involve claims for substantial or indeterminate alleged damages or for injunctive or other relief. Regulatory investigations and enforcement matters may involve formal or informal proceedings and other inquiries initiated by various governmental agencies, law enforcement authorities, and self-regulatory organizations, and can result in fines, penalties, restitution, changes to Regions’ business practices, and other related costs, including reputational damage. At any given time, these legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, or investigation, and may relate to a variety of topics, including common law tort and contract claims, as well as statutory consumer protection-related claims, among others.

Assessment of exposure that could result from legal proceedings is complex because these proceedings often involve inherently unpredictable factors, including, but not limited to, the following: whether the proceeding is in early stages; whether damages or the amount of potential fines, penalties, and restitution are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery or other investigation has begun or is not complete; whether material facts may be disputed or unsubstantiated; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the matter involves class allegations. As a result of these complexities, Regions may be unable to develop an estimate or range of loss.

Regions evaluates legal proceedings based on information currently available, including advice of counsel. Regions establishes accruals for those matters when a loss is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. Additionally, when it is practicable and reasonably possible that it may experience losses in excess of established accruals, Regions estimates possible loss contingencies. Regions currently estimates that the aggregate amount of reasonably possible losses that it may experience, in excess of what has been accrued, is immaterial. While the final outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, management is currently of the opinion that the outcomes of pending and threatened matters will not have a material effect on Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole.

As available information changes, the matters for which Regions is able to estimate, as well as the estimates themselves, will be adjusted accordingly. Regions’ estimates are subject to significant judgment and uncertainties, and the matters underlying the estimates will change from time to time. In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that an adverse outcome in any such matter could be material to Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a whole for any particular reporting period of occurrence.

Some of Regions’ exposure with respect to loss contingencies may be offset by applicable insurance coverage. However, in determining the amounts of any accruals or estimates of possible loss contingencies, Regions does not take into account the availability of insurance coverage. To the extent that Regions has an insurance recovery, the proceeds are recorded in the period the recovery is received.

GUARANTEES

FANNIE MAE LOSS SHARE GUARANTEE

Regions sells commercial loans to Fannie Mae through the DUS lending program and through other platforms. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. Regions services loans sold to Fannie Mae and is required to provide a loss share guarantee equal to one-third of the principal balance for the majority of the commercial servicing portfolio. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's DUS servicing portfolio totaled approximately $5.1 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively. Regions has additional loans sold to Fannie Mae outside of the DUS program that are also subject to a loss share guarantee and at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these serviced loans totaled approximately $541 million and $655 million, respectively. Regions' maximum quantifiable contingent liability related to all loans subject to a loss share guarantee was approximately $1.9 billion at June 30, 2023 and $1.8 billion at December 31, 2022. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. Therefore, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would be expected to incur. The estimated fair value of the associated loss share guarantee recorded as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets was immaterial at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis is part of Regions Financial Corporation’s (“Regions” or the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and updates Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was previously filed with the SEC. This financial information is presented to aid in understanding Regions’ financial position and results of operations and should be read together with the financial information contained in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" and Note 12 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to the consolidated financial statements for further detail. The emphasis of this discussion will be on the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 for the consolidated statements of income. For the consolidated balance sheets, the emphasis of this discussion will be on the balances as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022.

This discussion and analysis contains statements that may be considered “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See pages 6 through 8 for additional information regarding forward-looking statements.

CORPORATE PROFILE

Regions is a financial holding company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, that operates in the South, Midwest and Texas. In addition, Regions operates several offices delivering specialty capabilities in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago and other locations nationwide. Regions provides financial solutions for a wide range of clients including retail and mortgage banking services, commercial banking services and wealth and investment services. Further, Regions and its subsidiaries deliver specialty capabilities including merger and acquisition advisory services, capital market solutions, home improvement lending and others.

Regions conducts its banking operations through Regions Bank, an Alabama state-chartered commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. At June 30, 2023, Regions operated 1,276 total branch outlets. Regions carries out its strategies and derives its profitability from three reportable business segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder in Other. See Note 10 "Business Segment Information" to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding Regions’ segment reporting structure.

Regions’ business strategy is focused on providing a competitive mix of products and services, delivering quality customer service, and continuing to develop and optimize distribution channels that include a branch distribution network with offices in convenient locations, as well as electronic and mobile banking.

Regions’ profitability, like that of many other financial institutions, is dependent on its ability to generate revenue from net interest income as well as non-interest income sources. Net interest income is primarily the difference between the interest income Regions receives on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense Regions pays on interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Regions’ net interest income is impacted by the size and mix of its balance sheet components and the interest rate spread between interest earned on its assets and interest paid on its liabilities. Non-interest income includes fees from service charges on deposit accounts, card and ATM fees, mortgage servicing and secondary marketing, investment management and trust activities, capital markets and other customer services which Regions provides. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, professional, legal and regulatory expenses, FDIC insurance assessments, and other operating expenses, as well as income taxes.

Economic conditions, competition, new legislation and related rules impacting regulation of the financial services industry and the monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal government significantly affect most, if not all, financial institutions, including Regions. Lending and deposit activities and fee income generation are influenced by levels of business spending and investment, consumer income, consumer spending and savings, capital market activities, and competition among financial institutions, as well as customer preferences, interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates on competing products in Regions’ market areas.

SECOND QUARTER OVERVIEW

Second Quarter Operating Environment

In the first six months of 2023, the banking industry was impacted by the failure of three U.S depository institutions. Outside of the U.S., an international bank also suffered a crisis in confidence. The circumstances surrounding these events were largely driven by a sudden decline in deposits and lack of available liquidity to replace the deposit declines at the institutions. In March 2023, the BTFP was created by the Federal Reserve to support American businesses and households by making additional funding available to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors, as an additional source of secured funding backed by high-quality securities, eliminating an institution’s need to quickly sell those securities in times of stress. In addition to the uncertainty brought by these events, the Federal Reserve

51

delivered three additional 25 basis-point rate hikes as inflation continued to stay above target levels. Accordingly, there is now heightened focus on the banking industry as a whole. Regions believes that its deposits are diversified across stable categories and are granular in nature which lessens the probability of sudden declines in deposits. Additionally, Regions maintains a variety of liquidity sources to fund its obligations and performs various evaluations to determine appropriate levels of available liquidity. See the discussion below and within the "Debt Securities", "Deposits", "Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk" and "Liquidity" sections for further information.

Economic Environment in Regions' Banking Markets

Regions' baseline forecast anticipates real GDP growth of 2.0 percent in 2023 and 0.9 percent in 2024. The pace of economic activity remains restrained by elevated inflation and higher interest rates. Though real GDP growth surprised to the upside over the first half of 2023, Regions' forecast anticipates markedly slower growth over the coming quarters, reflecting slower growth in real consumer spending and weakness in business spending on equipment and machinery. Though single family construction and sales appear to have bottomed, it remains to be seen whether the developing rebound can withstand the recent upturn in mortgage interest rates. While the labor market remains tight, there are signs of cooling demand for labor, and job growth has become less broadly based over recent months. Though the pace of inflation has slowed, it remains considerably above the FOMC’s target rate and further hikes in the Fed funds rate in 2023 cannot be ruled out. The economic data and the financial markets remain quite volatile, and there are lingering concerns that credit conditions could tighten to the point the economy slips into recession. These factors are contributing to considerable uncertainty around the Company's near-term economic outlook.

Spending on motor vehicles and discretionary services such as travel, tourism, recreation, entertainment, and dining out have been key supports for consumer spending over recent months. At some point, however, it is expected that spending in both areas will slow, combining with continued softness in consumer spending on goods to limit growth in total consumer spending. While there is still a considerable pool of excess savings on household balance sheets, those balances are being run off as the cumulative effects of higher inflation and higher interest rates continue to stress household budgets. That said, monthly debt service burdens remain below pre-pandemic levels, due to the preponderance of fixed-rate debt on household balance sheets.

Reflecting decelerating job growth and declines in the average length of the workweek, growth in labor earnings has slowed, and will slow further over coming quarters if job growth slows as anticipated. Job growth has become less broadly based across private sector industry groups over recent months, with notable weakness in trade, transportation, and warehousing. Manufacturing payrolls have come under pressure as conditions in the factory sector remain challenging, reflecting dimming capital spending on equipment and machinery, inventories having largely been right-sized after pandemic-related disruptions, and slowing global economic growth. Regions' baseline forecast anticipates further deceleration in job growth to push the unemployment rate higher over coming quarters.

While inflation has slowed somewhat over recent months, both headline and core inflation remain well above the FOMC’s 2.0 percent target rate. While inflation pressures are expected to ease further as the pace of the overall economic activity slows, the FOMC is not yet convinced inflation is firmly on a path back to their target rate. As such, further Fed funds rate hikes cannot be ruled out, particularly as headline inflation is showing signs of reaccelerating. The FOMC must balance concerns over inflation against concerns over financial stability in light of recent stresses in the banking system. Either way, once the FOMC reaches a stopping point, Regions thinks they will hold the funds rate steady at the terminal rate for some time to come.

Patterns of economic activity within the Regions footprint are expected to be broadly similar to those seen in the U.S. as a whole. A number of states within the footprint have seen heightened flows of domestic in-migration since the onset of the pandemic, which has resulted in more rapid rates of job growth and more rapid growth in housing costs. If, as anticipated, the broader economy slows and labor market conditions loosen, it could be that migration patterns will shift over coming quarters. That said, job growth for the Company's footprint as a whole is expected to be faster than that for the U.S. as a whole. Some of the metro areas which had, prior to the increase in mortgage interest rates, seen the largest increases in house prices could experience price declines in excess of the national average, but continued robust population growth in these markets will help stem significant declines in house prices.

The continued economic uncertainty, as described above, impacted Regions' forecast utilized in calculating the ACL as of June 30, 2023. See the "Allowance" section for further information.

Second Quarter Results

Regions reported net income available to common shareholders of $556 million or $0.59 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2023 which was stable compared to net income available to common shareholders of $558 million or $0.59 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022.

Net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) totaled $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022. The net interest margin (taxable-equivalent basis) was 4.04 percent in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting a 98 basis point increase from the same period in 2022. The increases in net interest income and net interest margin were primarily driven by a significant increase in market interest rates and average loan growth. A decline in average cash

52

balances also contributed to the increase in net interest margin. Higher deposit and overall funding costs, which are expected in a rising rate environment, partially offset the increases in interest income.

The provision for credit losses totaled $118 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $60 million in the second quarter of 2022. The current quarter provision reflects continued normalization of asset quality, modest changes in the economic outlook and loan growth. Net charge-offs totaled $81 million, or 0.33 percent of average loans, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $38 million, or 0.17 percent in the second quarter of 2022, reflecting increased net charge-offs in the commercial and industrial and other consumer loan portfolios. The allowance as a percent of total loans, net, increased slightly to 1.65 percent at June 30, 2023, compared to 1.63 percent at December 31, 2022. Refer to the "Allowance for Credit Losses" section for further detail.

Non-interest income was $576 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $640 million in second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in capital markets income, mortgage income and service charges on deposit accounts. The declines were partially offset by improvements in investment service fee income and market valuation adjustments on employee benefit assets. See Table 22 "Non-Interest Income" for further details.

Non-interest expense was $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $948 million in second quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by increases across several categories, with the largest related to operational losses due to an increase in check fraud. See Table 23 "Non-Interest Expense" for further details.

Regions' effective tax rate was 20.2 percent in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 21.2 percent in the second quarter of 2022. See the "Income Taxes" section for further details.

Capital

Regions and Regions Bank are required to comply with regulatory capital requirements established by Federal and State banking agencies, which include quantitative requirements including the CET1 ratio. At June 30, 2023, Regions’ CET1 ratio was estimated to be 10.07 percent. For additional information on Regions' regulatory capital requirements see the "Regulatory Requirements" section.

Regions participates in supervisory stress testing conducted by the Federal Reserve and its SCB is currently floored at 2.5 percent. See Note 5 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" to the consolidated financial statements for further details.

The Board authorized, on April 20, 2022, the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of the Company's common stock, permitting purchases from the second quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the first half of 2023.

On July 19, 2023, the Board declared a 20 percent increase to the quarterly common stock dividend to $0.24 which will be payable on October 2, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2023.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

The following sections provide expanded discussion of significant changes in certain line items in asset, liability, and shareholders' equity categories.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $1.3 billion from year-end 2022 to June 30, 2023 resulting from a decrease in cash balances on deposit with the FRB. In the first six months of 2023, the decline in cash was driven by an expected decline in deposits and growth in loans, partially offset by an increase in borrowed funds. See the "Loans", "Liquidity", "Deposits", and "Borrowed Funds" sections for more information.

DEBT SECURITIES

The following table details the carrying values of debt securities, including both available for sale and held to maturity:

Table 1—Debt Securities

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(In millions)
U.S. Treasury securities	$	1,191	$	1,187
Federal agency securities	926		836
Obligations of states and political subdivisions	2		2
Mortgage-backed securities:
Residential agency	16,828		17,233
Residential non-agency	—		1
Commercial agency	7,944		8,135
Commercial non-agency	81		186
Corporate and other debt securities	1,101		1,154
	$	28,073	$	28,734

Debt securities available for sale, comprising 20 percent of earning assets, constitute approximately 97 percent of the securities portfolio. They are an important tool used to manage interest rate sensitivity and provide a primary source of liquidity for the Company, as much of the portfolio is highly liquid. Additionally, some of the securities portfolio is eligible to be used as collateral for funding of various types of borrowings. See the "Liquidity" section for more information on these arrangements. Regions maintains a highly-rated securities portfolio consisting primarily of agency MBS. See Note 2 "Debt Securities" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Also see the "Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk" section for more information.

The average life of the debt securities portfolio at June 30, 2023 was estimated to be 5.6 years, with a duration of approximately 4.7 years. These metrics compare with an estimated average life of 5.8 years and a duration of approximately 4.8 years for the portfolio at December 31, 2022.

Debt securities decreased $661 million from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 primarily driven by decreases in residential agency securities and commercial agency securities. In the first six months of 2023, Regions reinvested only a portion of principal paydowns and maturities.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Loans held for sale totaled $554 million at June 30, 2023, consisting of $257 million of residential real estate mortgage loans, $267 million of commercial loans, $29 million of consumer and other performing loans, and $1 million of non-performing loans. At December 31, 2022, loans held for sale totaled $354 million, consisting of $160 million of residential real estate mortgage loans, $153 million of commercial loans, $38 million of consumer and other performing loans, and $3 million of non-performing loans. The levels of residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale that are part of the Company's mortgage originations fluctuate depending on the timing of origination and sale to third parties. Commercial loans held for sale include commercial mortgage loans originated for sale to third parties and commercial loans originally recorded as held for investment when management has the intent to sell. Levels of commercial loans held for sale fluctuate based on timing of sale to third parties.

54

LOANS

Loans, net of unearned income, represented 73 percent of interest-earning assets as of June 30, 2023. The following table presents the distribution of Regions’ loan portfolio by portfolio segment and class, net of unearned income:

Table 2—Loan Portfolio

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(In millions, net of unearned income)
Commercial and industrial	$	52,300	$	50,905

Total consumer	33,170		32,324
	$	99,191	$	97,009

PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS

The following sections describe the composition of the portfolio segments and classes disclosed in Table 2 , explain changes in balances from year-end 2022 and highlight the related risk characteristics. Regions believes that its loan portfolio is well diversified by product, client, and geography throughout its footprint. However, the loan portfolio may be exposed to certain concentrations of credit risk which exist in relation to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, certain types of collateral, certain types of industries, certain loan products, or certain regions of the country. See Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.

Commercial

The commercial portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases and other expansion projects. Commercial and industrial loans increased $1.1 billion since year-end 2022, driven by a continued increase in line commitments. In the first six months of 2023, commercial and industrial loan growth was broad-based, primarily driven by increases in the utilities, information (including telecommunications), energy, real estate, and retail trade industries.

The commercial portfolio also includes owner-occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans to operating businesses, which are loans for long-term financing on land and buildings, and are repaid by cash generated by business operations. Owner-occupied commercial real estate construction loans are made to commercial businesses for the development of land or construction of a building where the repayment is derived from revenues generated from the business of the borrower.

Over half of the Company’s total loans are included in the commercial portfolio segment. These balances are spread across numerous industries, as noted in the table below. The Company manages the related risks to this portfolio by setting certain lending limits for each significant industry.

55

The following tables provide detail of Regions' commercial lending balances in selected industries.

_______

(1)"Real estate" includes REITs, which are unsecured commercial and industrial products that are real estate related.

(2)"Other" contains balances related to non-classifiable and invalid business industry codes offset by payments in process and fee accounts that are not available at the loan level.

(3)As customers' businesses evolve (e.g. up or down the vertical manufacturing chain), Regions may need to change the assigned business industry code used to define the customer relationship. When these changes occur, Regions does not recast the customer history for prior periods into the new classification because the business industry code used in the prior period was deemed appropriate. As a result, year over year changes may be impacted.

56

Investor Real Estate

Loans for real estate development are repaid through cash flows related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. This portfolio segment includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. A portion of Regions’ investor real estate portfolio segment consists of loans secured by residential product types (land, single-family and condominium loans) within Regions’ markets. Additionally, this category includes loans made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers. Total investor real estate loans increased $253 million in comparison to year-end 2022 balances.

The Company's total non-owner-occupied commercial real estate lending consists of both unsecured commercial and industrial loans that are real estate related (including REITs) and investor real estate loans and are considered to be well diversified across property types. The following table provides detail of these loans:

Residential First Mortgage

Residential first mortgage loans represent loans to consumers to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed over a 15 to 30 year term and, in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence. These loans increased $945 million in comparison to year-end 2022 balances, driven by approximately $1.6 billion in new loan originations retained on the balance sheet through the first six months of 2023.

Home Equity Lines

Home equity lines are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence and allow customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. Home equity lines decreased $197 million in comparison to year-end 2022 balances, as payoffs and paydowns continue to outpace production. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions’ branch network.

Beginning in December 2016, new home equity lines of credit have a 10-year draw period and a 20-year repayment term. During the 10-year draw period customers do not have an interest-only payment option, except on a very limited basis. From May 2009 to December 2016, home equity lines of credit had a 10-year draw period and a 10-year repayment term. Prior to May 2009, the predominant structure was a 20-year draw period with a balloon payment upon maturity. The term “balloon payment” means there are no principal payments required until the balloon payment is due for interest-only lines of credit.

57

The following table presents information regarding the future principal payment reset dates for the Company's home equity lines of credit as of June 30, 2023. The balances presented are based on maturity date for lines with a balloon payment and draw period expiration date for lines that convert to a repayment period.

Home Equity Loans

Home equity loans are also secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence, are primarily originated as amortizing loans, and allow customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions’ branch network.

Consumer Credit Quality Data

The Company calculates an estimate of the current value of property secured as collateral for both residential first mortgage and home equity lending products (“current LTV”). The estimate is based on home price indices compiled by a third party. The third party data indicates trends for MSAs. Regions uses the third party valuation trends from the MSAs in the Company's footprint in its estimate. The trend data is applied to the loan portfolios taking into account the age of the most recent valuation and geographic area.

The following table presents current LTV data for components of the residential first mortgage, home equity lines and home equity loans classes of the consumer portfolio segment. Current LTV data for some loans in the portfolio is not available due to mergers and systems integrations. The amounts in the table represent the entire loan balance. For purposes of the table below, if the loan balance exceeds the current estimated collateral the entire balance is included in the “Above 100%” category, regardless of the amount of collateral available to partially offset the shortfall.

Consumer Credit Card

Consumer credit card lending represents primarily open-ended variable interest rate consumer credit card loans.

Other Consumer—Exit Portfolios

Other consumer—exit portfolios includes lending initiatives through third parties consisting of loans made through automotive dealerships and other point of sale lending. Regions ceased originating new loans related to these businesses prior to 2020 and therefore the portfolio balance has decreased $154 million from year-end 2022.

Other Consumer

Other consumer loans primarily include indirect and direct consumer loans, overdrafts and other revolving loans. Other consumer loans increased $333 million from year-end 2022 primarily driven by increases in consumer home improvement loans.

Regions considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, unemployment, home prices, and geography as credit quality indicators for consumer loans. FICO scores are obtained at origination and refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for most consumer loans. For more information on credit quality indicators refer to Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses".

ALLOWANCE

The allowance consists of two components: the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments. Unfunded credit commitments includes items such as letters of credit, financial guarantees and binding unfunded loan commitments.

The allowance totaled $1.6 billion at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which represents management's best estimate of expected losses over the life of the loan and credit commitment portfolios. Key drivers of the change in the

59

allowance are presented in Table 7 below. While many of these items overlap regarding impact, they are included in the category most relevant.

The table below reflects a range of macroeconomic factors utilized in the Base forecast over the two-year R&S forecast period as of June 30, 2023. The unemployment rate is the most significant macroeconomic factor among the allowance models and continues to be at a normalized level with forecasted periods expected to remain relatively consistent.

In deriving any forecast, Regions benchmarks its internal forecast with external forecasts and external data available. Regions' June 2023 baseline forecast weakened compared to the March 2023 forecast driven by several factors. Weak growth in real GDP is expected in 2023, with weakness in real private domestic demand expected to be weak for the remainder of 2023. As business investment in equipment and machinery contracts, intellectual property products remain the key driver of growth in overall business investment. A slowdown in job growth is anticipated, as well as a low labor force participation rate that will limit any increase in the unemployment rate over the forecast horizon. As measured by CPI, inflation is expected to slow further but remain above the FOMC's 2.0 percent target into 2024. Renewed disruptions in global supply chains, excessive monetary policy tightening, and heightened financial volatility provide significant downside uncertainty over the near-term forecast. See the Economic Environment in Regions' Banking Markets discussion in the "Second Quarter Overview" section for additional information.

Credit metrics are monitored throughout each quarter in order to understand external macro-views, trends and industry outlooks, as well as Regions' internal specific views of credit metrics and trends. In the second quarter of 2023, asset quality continued to normalize, as expected, within certain select sectors of the commercial and consumer portfolios. Total net charge-offs remained stable, decreasing by $2 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. Commercial and investor real estate criticized balances increased approximately $314 million, which included a decrease in classified balances of $51 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. Non-performing loans, excluding held for sale, and non-performing assets both decreased approximately $62 million compared to the first quarter of 2023.

60

While Regions' quantitative allowance methodologies strive to reflect all risk factors, any estimate involves assumptions and uncertainties resulting in some level of imprecision. The qualitative framework has a general imprecision component which is meant to acknowledge that model and forecast errors are inherent in any modeling estimate. In the second quarter of 2023 the general imprecision remained stable due to uncertainty.

Based upon the factors discussed above, the June 30, 2023 allowance increased slightly compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to uncertainty in the economic forecast, loan growth, continued credit normalization and qualitative considerations. Based on the overall analysis performed, management deemed an allowance of $1.6 billion to be appropriate to absorb expected credit losses in the loan and credit commitment portfolios as of June 30, 2023.

Details regarding the allowance and net charge-offs, including an analysis of activity from previous years' totals, are included in Table 9 "Allowance for Credit Losses". Net charge-offs increased $80 million year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in commercial and industrial and other consumer net charge-offs. As noted, economic trends such as interest rates, unemployment, volatility in commodity prices, collateral valuations and inflationary pressure will impact the future levels of net charge-offs and may result in volatility of certain credit metrics during the remainder of 2023 and beyond. See the "Second Quarter Overview" section for details on expectations for net charge-offs in 2023.

(1)Excludes accruing loans 90+ days past due.

(2)Excludes residential first mortgage loans that are 100% guaranteed by the FHA and all guaranteed loans sold to Ginnie Mae where Regions has the right but not the obligation to repurchase. Total 90+ days or more past due guaranteed loans excluded were $24 million at June 30, 2023 and $34 million at December 31, 2022.

Non-performing loans at June 30, 2023 decreased $10 million as compared to year-end 2022 levels. The same economic trends that impact net charge-offs, as discussed above, will impact the future level of non-performing assets. Circumstances related to individually large credits could also result in volatility.

GOODWILL

Goodwill totaled $5.7 billion at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 9 "Intangible Assets" to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for the methodologies and assumptions used in the goodwill impairment analysis.

DEPOSITS

Regions competes with other banking and financial services companies for a share of the deposit market. Regions’ ability to compete in the deposit market depends heavily on the pricing of its deposits and how effectively the Company meets customers’ needs. Regions employs various means to meet those needs and enhance competitiveness, such as providing a high level of customer service, competitive pricing and convenient branch locations for its customers. Regions also serves customers through providing centralized, high-quality banking services through the Company's digital channels and contact center.

The following table summarizes deposits by category and by segment:

____`

(1) Other deposits represent non-customer balances primarily consisting of wholesale funding (for example, Eurodollar trade deposits, selected deposits and brokered time deposits).

(2) Includes brokered deposits totaling $2.0 billion at June 30, 2023 and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2022.

Total deposits at June 30, 2023 decreased approximately $4.8 billion compared to year-end 2022 levels, largely in line with expectations. Consumer and wealth management deposits declined by approximately $3.9 billion with declines across most interest-bearing products, partially offset by an increase in time deposits, reflecting continued rate-seeking behavior of higher-balance customers. Corporate deposits declined approximately $1.8 billion, primarily in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, also driven by rate-seeking behavior and utilization of off-balance sheet funding solutions. These deposit declines were offset by an increase of other segment deposits of approximately $897 million reflecting additional brokered deposits entered into in the second quarter to maintain diversified funding sources.

Regions believes that its deposits are diversified across stable categories and include insured and collateralized deposits, with consumer deposits making up more than 60 percent of the total deposit base. Furthermore, corporate deposits include those that are operational in nature (where the primary use is certain operational services such as clearing, custody, payments or other cash management activities). A significant amount of the Company's deposit base is insured by the FDIC or collateralized, with approximately $7.5 billion in deposits collateralized in public funds or in trusts at June 30, 2023. The amount of estimated uninsured deposits totaled $47.3 billion at June 30, 2023, therefore over 60 percent of total deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Company's deposits are also granular in nature as evidenced by an average deposit account balance of approximately $18 thousand at June 30, 2023. The estimates of uninsured deposits and average account size were based on methodologies used in the Company's Call Report, which is prepared on an unconsolidated bank basis.

See the "Second Quarter Overview" section for details on expectations for deposits in 2023. See also the "Liquidity" and "Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk" sections for further discussion.

BORROWED FUNDS

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings, which consist of FHLB advances, were $3.0 billion at June 30, 2023, and there were no short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2022. The levels of these borrowings can fluctuate depending on the Company's funding needs and the sources utilized.

Short and long-term funding from the FHLB and FRB are secured by pledged assets, primarily certain loan portfolios which are also subject to blanket lien arrangements with the FHLB and FRB. As of June 30, 2023, Regions' blanket lien arrangements with these entities covered a total loan balance of approximately $94.1 billion and included loans from various loan portfolios. However, borrowing capacity with the FHLB and FRB is contingent on a subset of the blanket lien portfolios which are eligible and pledged according to the parameters for each counterparty.

Short-term secured borrowings, such as securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances, are a portion of Regions' funding strategy. See the "Liquidity" section for further detail of Regions' borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

Ratings

The Company's credit ratings reflect the debt ratings information of Regions Financial Corporation and Regions Bank by Standard and Poor's, Moody’s, Fitch and Dominion Bond Rating Service Morningstar. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes to the Company's ratings by any of the aforementioned ratings agencies compared to December 31, 2022. See the "Ratings" section of Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

As part of an industry-wide evaluation, on August 7, 2023, Moody's affirmed all long-term and short-term ratings and updated the outlook to negative from stable reflecting several sources of strain on the U.S. banking sector.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

CAPITAL RULES

Regions and Regions Bank are required to comply with regulatory capital requirements established by Federal and State banking agencies. These regulatory capital requirements involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and selected off-balance sheet items, and also qualitative judgments by the regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can subject the Company to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions. Under the Basel III Rules, Regions is designated as a standardized approach bank. Regions is a "Category IV" institution under the FRB's rules for tailoring enhanced prudential standards.

Federal banking agencies allowed a phase-in of the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. At December 31, 2021, the add-back to regulatory capital was calculated as the impact of initial adoption, adjusted for 25 percent of subsequent changes in the allowance. The amount is phased-in over a three-year period beginning in 2022. At June 30, 2023, the net impact of the addback on CET1 was approximately $204 million or approximately 16 basis points. The add-back amount will decrease by approximately $100 million each year, or approximately 8 basis points, in the first quarters of 2024 and 2025.

Regions participates in supervisory stress testing conducted by the Federal Reserve and its SCB is currently floored at 2.5 percent. See Note 5 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" to the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding CCAR results.

Proposed new rules for U.S. implementation of capital requirements under Basel IV rules, more recently referred to as the Basel III "Endgame", were issued on July 27, 2023. These proposed rules include broad-based changes to the risk-weighting framework for various credit exposures and operational risk capital requirements. The Company is studying the proposals and evaluating their impacts. Additional discussion of the current Basel III Rules, their applicability to Regions, recent proposals and final rules issued by the federal banking agencies and recent laws enacted that impact regulatory requirements is included in the "Supervision and Regulation" subsection of the "Business" section in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the "Regulatory Requirements" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional discussion and is also included in Note 12 "Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions" to the consolidated financial statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY

Regions maintains a robust liquidity management framework designed to effectively manage liquidity risk in accordance with sound risk management principals and regulatory expectations. The framework establishes sustainable processes and tools to effectively identify, measure, mitigate, monitor, and report liquidity risks beginning with Regions’ Liquidity Management Policy and the Liquidity Risk Appetite Statements approved by the Board. Processes within the liquidity management framework include, but are not limited to, liquidity risk governance, cash management, liquidity stress testing, liquidity risk limits, contingency funding plans, and collateral management. While the framework is designed to comply with liquidity regulations, the processes are further tailored to be commensurate with Regions’ operating model and risk profile.

See the "Liquidity" section for more information. Also, see the “Supervision and Regulation—Liquidity Requirements” subsection of the “Business” section, the "Risk Factors" section and the "Liquidity" section in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

SHAREHOLDERS' AND TOTAL EQUITY

Shareholders’ equity was $16.6 billion at June 30, 2023 as compared to $15.9 billion at December 31, 2022. During the first six months of 2023, net income increased shareholders' equity by $1.2 billion, cash dividends on common stock reduced shareholders' equity by $374 million, and cash dividends on preferred stock reduced shareholders' equity by $49 million. Changes in AOCI decreased shareholders' equity by $97 million, primarily due to derivative instruments as a result of changes in market interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The cumulative effect from the adoption of new accounting guidance that eliminated TDRs and created modifications to troubled borrowers increased shareholders' equity by $28 million .

Total equity includes noncontrolling interest of $22 million and $4 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The noncontrolling interest represents the unowned portion of a low income housing tax credit fund syndication, of which Regions held the majority interest at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

See Note 5 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" section for additional information.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The table below presents computations of earnings and certain other financial measures, which excludes certain adjustments that are included in the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include "adjusted non-interest expense", "adjusted non-interest income", "adjusted total revenue", "adjusted total revenue, taxable-equivalent basis", and "adjusted operating leverage ratio". Regions believes that excluding certain items provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparison, 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 because 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. Management and the Board utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

•Preparation of Regions’ operating budgets

•Monthly financial performance reporting

•Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results

•Presentations to investors of Company performance

•Metrics for incentive compensation

Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP). Net interest income (GAAP) is presented with taxable-equivalent adjustments to arrive at net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis (GAAP). Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP). Net interest income (GAAP) and adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP) are added together to arrive at adjusted total revenue (non-GAAP). Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis (GAAP) and adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP) are added together to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP). The adjusted operating leverage ratio (non-GAAP), which is a measure of productivity, is calculated as the year over year percentage change in adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP) less the year over year percentage change in adjusted total non-interest expense (non-GAAP). Management uses this ratio to monitor performance and believes it provides meaningful information to investors.

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 shareholders.

(2)Debt securities are included on an amortized cost basis with yield and net interest margin calculated accordingly.

(3)Loans, net of unearned income include non-accrual loans for all periods presented.

(4)Interest income on loans, net of unearned income, includes hedging expense of $47 million and hedging income $188 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest income on loans, net of unearned income, also includes net loan fees of $62 million and $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(5)Total deposit costs may be calculated by dividing total interest expense on deposits by the sum of interest-bearing deposits and non-interest-bearing deposits. The rates for total deposit costs equaled 0.70% and 0.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(6)The computation of taxable-equivalent net interest income is based on the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for applicable state income taxes net of the related federal tax benefit.

Net interest income is Regions’ principal source of income and is one of the most important elements of Regions’ ability to meet its overall performance goals. Both net interest income and net interest margin are influenced by market interest rates and in the first six months of 2023, the FOMC increased the Fed funds rate by 75 basis points. See the "Second Quarter Overview" for a discussion of recent FOMC activity.

Net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) and net interest margin increased in both the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. The increases were driven primarily by significantly higher short-term and long-term interest rates and higher average loan balances. Higher deposit and funding costs, due to the rising rate environment, partially offset the increases in net interest income and net interest margin.

MARKET RISK—INTEREST RATE RISK

Regions’ primary market risk is interest rate risk. This includes uncertainty with respect to absolute interest rate levels as well as relative interest rate levels, which are impacted by both the shape and the slope of the various yield curves that affect the

71

financial products and services that the Company offers. As its primary tool to analyze this risk, Regions measures the change in its net interest income in various interest rate scenarios compared to a base case scenario. Net interest income sensitivity to market rate movements is a useful short-term indicator of Regions’ interest rate risk.

In addition to net interest income simulations, Regions also utilizes an EVE analysis as a measurement tool to estimate risk exposure over a longer-term horizon. EVE measures the extent to which the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments may change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. Importantly, EVE values only the current balance sheet, does not incorporate the balance sheet growth assumptions used in the net interest income sensitivity analyses, and results are highly dependent on imprecise assumptions for products with embedded prepay optionality and indeterminate maturities. The imprecise assumptions in preparing an EVE analysis limit its efficacy.

Sensitivity Measurement—Financial simulation models are Regions’ primary tools used to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of sophisticated simulation techniques provides management with extensive information on the potential impact to net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. Models are structured to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of Regions’ balance sheet. Assumptions are made about the direction and magnitude of interest rate movements, the slope of the yield curve, and the changing composition of the balance sheet that results from both strategic plans and customer behavior. Among the assumptions are expectations of balance sheet growth and composition, the pricing and maturity characteristics of existing business and the characteristics of future business. Interest rate-related risks are expressly considered, such as pricing spreads, the pricing of deposit accounts, prepayments and other option risks. Regions considers these factors, as well as the degree of certainty or uncertainty surrounding their future behavior.

The primary objective of asset/liability management at Regions is to coordinate balance sheet composition with interest rate risk management to sustain reasonable and stable net interest income throughout various interest rate cycles. In computing interest rate sensitivity, Regions compares a set of alternative interest rate scenarios to the results of a base case scenario derived using “market forward rates.” See the "Second Quarter Overview" section for details on expectations for net interest income in 2023. The set of alternative interest rate scenarios includes instantaneous parallel rate shifts of various magnitudes. In addition to parallel rate shifts, multiple curve steepening and flattening scenarios are contemplated. Regions includes simulations of gradual interest rate movements phased in over a six-month period that may more realistically mimic the speed of potential interest rate movements.

Exposure to Interest Rate Movements—Regions' balance sheet is naturally asset sensitive, with net interest income increasing with higher interest rates, and decreasing with lower interest rates. This is the result of approximately half of the loan portfolio floating contractually with market rate indices, and funding from a large, mostly stable retail deposit portfolio. Importantly, the stability and rate sensitivity of Regions' deposit portfolio has been proven over multiple interest rate cycles. With this natural balance sheet profile, the ability to utilize discretionary asset duration strategies within the investment portfolio and through cash flow hedges is critical for interest rate risk management. As of June 30, 2023, Regions evidenced a mostly balanced asset/liability position, with an asset duration of approximately 2.7 years and a liability duration of approximately 2.9 years, using historically-informed approximations. The securities portfolio duration was approximately 4.7 years and is appropriate for Regions' risk profile in order to offset the long-duration deposit liabilities. While the available for sale securities and cash flow hedging portfolios are recorded on the balance sheet including current unrealized losses, deposit value increases have more than offset these losses through the rising rate environment. The additional value of deposits in a higher rate environment will be realized in the form of lower-cost funding when compared with wholesale sources. Deposits are recorded on the balance sheet at carrying value and, for certain financial statement footnote disclosures, the estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity is equal to their carrying value, consistent with industry practices. However, in the sensitivity analysis of the balance sheet management does contemplate a fair value of deposits with no stated maturity. See Note 9 "Fair Value Measurements" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

As of June 30, 2023, Regions was asset sensitive to both gradual and instantaneous parallel yield curve shifts as compared to the base case for the 12-month measurement horizon ending June 2024. The estimated exposure associated with the rising and falling rate scenarios in Table 18 below reflects the combined impacts of movements in short-term and long-term interest rates. An increase or reduction in short-term interest rates (such as the Fed Funds rate, the rate of Interest on Excess Reserves, SOFR and BSBY) will drive the yield on assets and liabilities contractually tied to such rates higher or lower. Under either environment, it is expected that changes in funding costs and balance sheet hedging income will only somewhat offset the change in asset yields.

Net interest income remains exposed to intermediate and long-term yield curve tenors. While this was a headwind to net interest income during a low rate environment, it represents a tailwind to net interest income growth as the yield curve rises and remains elevated. An increase in intermediate and long-term interest rates (such as intermediate to longer-term U.S. Treasuries, swaps and mortgage rates) will drive yields higher on certain fixed-rate, newly originated or renewed loans, increase prospective yields on certain investment portfolio purchases, and reduce amortization of premium expense on existing securities in the investment portfolio. The opposite is true in an environment where intermediate and long-term interest rates fall.

72

The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented below in Table 18 is informed by a variety of assumptions and estimates regarding the progression of the balance sheet in both the baseline scenario as well as the scenarios of instantaneous and gradual shifts in the yield curve. Though there are many assumptions which affect the estimates for net interest income, those pertaining to deposit pricing, deposit mix and overall balance sheet composition are particularly impactful. Given the uncertainties associated with tightening monetary policy on industry liquidity levels and the cost of that liquidity, management evaluates the impacts from these key assumptions through sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity calculations are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future results.

The Company’s baseline balance sheet assumptions include management's best estimate for balance sheet changes in the coming 12 months. In the first six months of 2023, Regions experienced a decline in low-cost deposit balances, both from the normalization of balances acquired from stimulative policies, as well as from late-cycle rate seeking behavior by higher-balance customers. The baseline projects deposit balances to decline modestly through the end of the year. Assuming runoff mimics the expected total deposit mix, an additional deposit outflow of $1 billion would reduce net interest income by $26 million over 12 months in the parallel +100 basis point scenario in Table 18. Conversely, if an additional $1 billion are retained a positive benefit of $26 million would be expected over 12 months in the parallel +100 basis point scenario in Table 18.

In rising rate scenarios only, management assumes that the mix of legacy deposits will change versus the base case as informed by analyses of prior rate cycles. Management assumes that in rising rate scenarios, some remixing shift from non-interest-bearing to interest-bearing products will occur. The magnitude of the remixing shift is rate dependent and equates to approximately $3.5 billion over 12 months in the parallel +100 basis point scenario in Table 18. Furthermore, over the 12 month horizon, an increase of $1 billion in deposit remixing would decrease net interest income by approximately $28 million, and a decrease of $1 billion in deposit remixing would increase net interest income by $28 million.

The deposit beta is calibrated using the experience from prior rate cycles and is dynamic across both interest rate level and time. In the base case scenario, management expects an approximate 35 percent full cycle interest-bearing deposit beta by year-end 2023, and for the beta to drift towards 40 percent in 2024. The parallel +100 basis point shock scenario in Table 18 also incorporates an incremental beta of approximately 45 percent above the base case scenario. Incremental deposit pricing outperformance or underperformance of 5 percent in the parallel +100 basis point shock would increase or decrease net interest income by approximately $40 million.

The table below summarizes Regions' positioning over the next 12 months in various parallel yield curve shifts (i.e., including all yield curve tenors). The scenarios are inclusive of all interest rate hedging activities. More information regarding hedges is disclosed in Table 19 and its accompanying description.

Regions' comprehensive interest rate risk management approach uses derivatives, as discussed further below, and debt securities to manage its interest rate risk position.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company did not engage in meaningful hedging transactions.

Since June 30, 2023, the Company executed transactions to opportunistically extend incremental downside rate protection over a longer horizon and reduce exposure to large falling rate movements. The Company added $1.0 billion of forward starting swaps, which will become active in 2026 and mature 3 years from their start dates. The receive fixed rates on these cash flow

73

hedges averaged 3.48 percent, paying overnight SOFR. The Company also added $500 million of forward starting interest rate options, which will become active in 2025 and mature 4 years from their start dates. These options were constructed with net purchased interest rate floors at a weighted-average strike of 2.00 percent. To offset the cost of these floors, the strategy includes sold interest rate caps with a weighted-average strike of 6.20 percent.

Interest rate movements may also have an impact on the value of Regions’ securities portfolio, which can directly impact the carrying value of shareholders’ equity.

Derivatives—Regions uses financial derivative instruments for management of interest rate sensitivity. ALCO, which consists of members of Regions’ senior management team, in its oversight role for the management of interest rate sensitivity, approves the use of derivatives in balance sheet hedging strategies. Derivatives are also used to offset the risks associated with customer derivatives, which include interest rate, credit, and foreign exchange risks. The most common derivatives Regions employs are forward rate contracts, forward sale commitments, futures contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate options (caps, floors and collars), and contracts with a combination of these instruments.

Forward rate contracts are commitments to buy or sell financial instruments at a future date at a specified price or yield. Futures contracts subject Regions to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. Because futures contracts are cash settled daily, there is minimal credit risk associated with futures. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements typically entered into to exchange fixed for variable (or vice versa) streams of interest payments. The notional principal is not exchanged but is used as a reference for the size of interest settlements. Interest rate options are contracts that allow the buyer to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a predetermined price and time. Forward sale commitments are contractual obligations to sell market instruments at a future date for an already agreed-upon price. Foreign currency contracts involve the exchange of one currency for another on a specified date and at a specified rate. These contracts are executed on behalf of the Company's customers and are used by customers to manage fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to the credit risk that another party will fail to perform.

Regions has made use of interest rate swaps and options in balance sheet hedging strategies to effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate funding position to a variable-rate position, to effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt securities available for sale portfolio to a variable-rate position, and to effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate loan portfolios to fixed-rate. Regions also uses derivatives to economically manage interest rate and pricing risk associated with its mortgage origination business. In the period of time that elapses between the origination and sale of mortgage loans, changes in interest rates have the potential to cause a decline in the value of the loans in this held-for-sale portfolio. Futures contracts and forward sale commitments are used to protect the value of the loan pipeline and loans held for sale from changes in interest rates and pricing.

The following table presents additional information about hedging interest rate derivatives used by Regions to manage interest rate risk:

(1)All cash flow hedges are reflected within the 12-month measurement horizon and included in income sensitivity levels as disclosed in Table 18.

Regions manages the credit risk of these instruments in much the same way as it manages credit risk of the loan portfolios by establishing credit limits for each counterparty and through collateral agreements for dealer transactions. For non-dealer transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated on an individual transaction basis and is primarily dependent on the financial strength of the counterparty. Credit risk is also reduced significantly by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements. When there is more than one transaction with a counterparty and there is a legally enforceable master netting agreement in place, the exposure represents the net of the gain and loss positions with and collateral received from and/or posted to that counterparty. Most hedging interest rate swap derivatives traded by Regions are subject to mandatory clearing. The counterparty risk for cleared trades effectively moves from the executing broker to the clearinghouse allowing Regions to benefit from the risk mitigation controls in place at the respective clearinghouse. The “Credit Risk” section in this report contains more information on the management of credit risk.

Regions also uses derivatives to meet the needs of its customers. Interest rate swaps, interest rate options and foreign exchange forwards are the most common derivatives sold to customers. Other derivative instruments with similar characteristics are used to hedge market risk and minimize volatility associated with this portfolio. Instruments used to service customers are held in the trading account, with changes in value recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

The primary objective of Regions’ hedging strategies is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes, from an economic perspective, on net interest income and other financing income and the net present value of its balance sheet. The overall effectiveness of these hedging strategies is subject to market conditions, the quality of Regions’ execution, the accuracy of its valuation assumptions, counterparty credit risk and changes in interest rates.

See Note 8 "Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities" to the consolidated financial statements for a tabular summary of Regions’ year-end derivatives positions and further discussion.

Regions accounts for residential MSRs at fair market value with any changes to fair value being recorded within mortgage income. Regions enters into derivative transactions to economically mitigate the impact of market value fluctuations related to residential MSRs. Derivative instruments entered into in the future could be materially different from the current risk profile of Regions’ current portfolio.

LIBOR TRANSITION

On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that LIBOR would not be available for use after December 31, 2021 and would not be published after June 30, 2023. Regions ceased origination of all new LIBOR-based lending on December 31, 2021. Further, on March 15, 2022, the LIBOR Act was signed into law with the purpose of establishing a clear and uniform process for replacing LIBOR in existing contracts upon the formal cessation of USD LIBOR. Among the provisions of this legislation, contracts may be transitioned to SOFR to gain a legal safe harbor. The Company has assessed the impact of this legislation and allowed certain clients to fallback to SOFR upon the cessation of LIBOR, consistent with the guidelines in the legislation.

Through the first half of 2023, the Company continued to make progress on its LIBOR transition goals. On June 9, 2023, the Company announced the replacement of LIBOR with a three-month CME Term SOFR reference rate on Series B and Series C preferred stock when the instruments convert to a floating rate on their respective conversion dates (see Note 5 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" for further details).

As of June 30, 2023, the Company held instruments that were impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR, including $3.3 billion in loans and $215 million in investment securities. All remaining LIBOR loans and securities will transition in accordance with the terms delineated in the LIBOR Act on their next reset date through the 12-month period ending June 30, 2024 with an estimated 15 percent of total remaining LIBOR balances outstanding at December 31, 2023. Regions is not impacted by the introduction of synthetic LIBOR within its loan portfolio.

75

As of June 30, 2023, the Company held $77.4 billion in derivative products that were impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR. All remaining LIBOR derivatives will transition to SOFR in accordance with the LIBOR Act on their next reset date through the period ending October 3, 2023.

In the third quarter of 2020, Regions adopted temporary accounting relief for affected transactions that reference LIBOR. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for details.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is an important factor in the financial condition of Regions and affects Regions’ ability to meet the needs of the Company and its customers. Regions’ goal in liquidity management is to maintain diverse liquidity sources and reserves sufficient to satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, under normal and stressed conditions. Accordingly, Regions maintains a variety of liquidity sources to fund its obligations, as further described below. See also Note 11 "Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of the Company’s funding requirements. Furthermore, Regions performs specific procedures, including scenario analyses and stress testing to evaluate and maintain appropriate levels of available liquidity in alignment with liquidity risk.

Regions' operation of its business provides a generally balanced liquidity base which is comprised of customer assets, consisting principally of loans, and funding provided by customer deposits and borrowed funds. Maturities in the loan portfolio provide a steady flow of funds, and are supplemented by Regions' deposit base.

Cash reserves, liquid assets and secured borrowing capabilities aid in the management of liquidity in normal and stressed conditions, and/or meeting the need of contingent events such as obligations related to potential litigation. As part of its normal management practice, Regions maintains collateral and operational readiness to utilize secured funding sources such as FHLB, FRB or BTFP on a same-day basis (subject to any practical constraints affecting these market participants). While the securities portfolio is a primary source of liquidity, the secured borrowing capabilities, in addition to cash reserves on hand, assist in alleviating the Company's need to sell securities for funding purposes. Liquidity needs can also be met by borrowing funds in national money markets, though Regions does maintain limits on short-term unsecured funding due to the volatility that can affect such markets.

The following table summarizes the Company's available sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2023:

Table 21—Liquidity Sources

	Availability as of June 30, 2023
	(in billions)
Cash at the FRB(1)	$	7.4
Liquid securities free to use, including at BTFP(2)	20.0
Liquid corporate bonds	0.6
Other unencumbered securities	0.1
FHLB borrowing availability	10.3
FRB borrowing availability through the discount window	14.5
Total liquidity sources	$	52.9

____

(1) Includes small in transit items that may not yet be reflected in the Fed master account closing balance.

(2) Securities pledged under the BTFP are measured at par value, as provided in the program, resulting in additional collateral of approximately $1.9 billion at June 30, 2023.

The balance with the FRB is the primary component of the balance sheet line item “interest-bearing deposits in other banks.” At June 30, 2023, Regions had approximately $7.4 billion in cash on deposit with the FRB and other depository institutions, a decrease from approximately $9.2 billion at December 31, 2022, partially driven by the expected decline in deposits during the period. Refer to the "Cash and Cash Equivalents" and "Deposits" sections for more information.

The securities portfolio also serves as a primary source and storehouse of liquidity. Proceeds from maturities and principal and interest payments of securities provide a continual flow of funds available for cash needs (see Note 2 "Debt Securities" to the consolidated financial statements). Furthermore, the highly liquid nature of the available for sale securities portfolio (for example, the agency guaranteed MBS portfolio) can be readily used as a source of cash through various secured borrowing arrangements, including the BTFP. In March 2023, the Federal Reserve created the BTFP as an additional liquidity source, under which securities may be pledged at their par value for a lending arrangement up to one year in length. Regions' securities portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency securities, MBS and corporate and other debt. In evaluating the liquidity within the securities portfolio, "liquid securities free to use" are primarily comprised of U.S Treasury securities and agency MBS. These highly liquid securities include free to pledge securities as well as the incremental borrowing availability under the BTFP, which is based on collateral values being measured at par value under the program. Additionally, certain corporate bonds are considered to be highly liquid. Other unencumbered securities, primarily non-agency commercial MBS, also serve as a source of liquidity.

76

Regions’ financing arrangement with the FHLB adds additional flexibility in managing the Company's liquidity position. As of June 30, 2023, Regions had $3.0 billion in short-term FHLB borrowings, $2.0 billion in long-term FHLB borrowings and had additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB, as shown in Table 21. FHLB borrowing capacity is determined based on eligible securities and loan amounts that can be used in collateral for future borrowing capacity. Additionally, investment in FHLB stock is required in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. The FHLB has been and is expected to continue to be a reliable and economical source of funding.

Regions has additional borrowing availability with the FRB through the discount window as shown in Table 21. FRB borrowing capacity is determined based on eligible loan amounts that can be used as collateral for future borrowing capacity.

Regions maintains a shelf registration statement with the SEC that can be utilized by Regions to issue various debt and/or equity securities. Additionally, Regions' Board has authorized Regions Bank to issue up to $10 billion in aggregate principal amount of bank notes outstanding at any one time. Refer to Note 11 "Borrowed Funds" to the consolidated financial statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Regions may, from time to time, consider opportunistically retiring outstanding issued securities, including subordinated debt in privately negotiated or open market transactions for cash or common shares. Regulatory approval would be required for retirement of some instruments. See Note 5 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Regions' liquidity policy requires the holding company to maintain cash sufficient to cover the greater of (1) 18 months of debt service and other cash needs or (2) a minimum cash balance of $500 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the holding company totaled $2.2 billion at June 30, 2023. Overall liquidity risk limits are established by the Board through its Risk Appetite Statement and Liquidity Policy. The Company's Board, LROC and ALCO regularly review compliance with the established limits.

CREDIT RISK

Regions’ objective regarding credit risk is to maintain a credit portfolio that provides for stable credit costs with acceptable volatility through an economic cycle. Regions has various processes to manage credit risk as described below. In order to assess the risk profile of the loan portfolio, Regions considers risk factors within the loan portfolio segments and classes, the current U.S. economic environment and that of its primary banking markets, as well as counterparty risk. See the "Portfolio Characteristics" section found earlier in this report for further information regarding the risk characteristics of each loan type. See further discussion of the current U.S. economic environment in the "Economic Environment in Regions' Banking Markets" section.

INFORMATION SECURITY RISK

Regions faces information security risks, such as evolving and adaptive cyber-attacks that are conducted regularly against financial institutions in attempts to compromise or disable information systems. Such attempts have increased in recent years, and the trend is expected to continue for a number of reasons, including increases in technology-based products and services used by us and our customers, the growing use of mobile, cloud, and other emerging technologies, and the increasing sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, nation-states, activists and other external parties or fraud on the part of employees.

Even when Regions successfully prevents cyber-attacks to its own network, the Company may still incur losses that result from customers' account information being obtained through breaches of retailers' networks that enable customer transactions. The related fraud losses, as well as the costs of re-issuing new cards, may impact Regions' financial results. In addition, Regions also relies on some vendors to provide certain business infrastructure components, and although Regions actively assesses and monitors the information security capabilities of these vendors, Regions' reliance on them may also increase exposure to information security risk.

In the event of a cyber-attack or other data breach, Regions may be required to incur significant expenses, including with respect to remediation costs, costs of implementing additional preventative measures, addressing any reputational harm and addressing any related regulatory inquiries or civil litigation arising from the event. Refer to the "Information Security Risk" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further discussion of Regions' information security risk.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses is used to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit losses at a level that in management's judgment is appropriate to absorb expected credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and credit commitment portfolio at the balance sheet date. The provision for credit losses totaled $118 million during the second quarter of 2023 compared to $60 million during the second quarter 2022. The provision for credit losses totaled $253 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $24 million for the first six months of 2022. Refer to the "Allowance" section for further detail.

NM - Not Meaningful

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts include overdraft fees, corporate analysis service charges, non-sufficient fund fees, and other customer transaction-related service charges. During the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, service charges decreased compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily as a result of overdraft-related policy enhancements that eliminated non-sufficient fund fees in mid-June 2022. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2023, the Company added Regions' Overdraft Grace feature, which compliments the overdraft-related policy enhancements. An increase in fees from treasury management services partially offset the overall decline in service charges.

Capital Markets Income

Capital markets income primarily relates to capital raising activities that include securities underwriting and placement, loan syndication, as well as foreign exchange, derivatives, merger and acquisition and other advisory services. Capital markets income decreased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, driven primarily by negative credit/debit valuation adjustments due to rate and spread movements. To a lesser degree, capital markets was negatively impacted by declines in syndication revenue and M&A advisory fees. Partially offsetting these decreases was an

78

increase in securities underwriting and placement fees in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022.

Mortgage Income

Mortgage income is generated through the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans for long-term investors and sales of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. The decrease in mortgage income in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was due primarily to lower mortgage production and sales as a result of higher market interest rates. Additionally, mortgage income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included approximately $12 million in gains associated with the re-securitization and sale of Ginnie Mae loans previously repurchased from their pools.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company purchased the rights to service approximately $6.2 billion in residential mortgage loans.

Investment Services Fee Income

Investment services fee income represents income earned from investment advisory services. Investment services fee income increased during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 due primarily to the rising interest rate environment, which has driven increases in fixed annuity rates and the related investment income. Also contributing were increases in assets under management due to additional financial advisors.

Commercial Credit Fee Income

Commercial credit fee income includes letters of credit fees and unused commercial commitment fees. Commercial credit fee income increased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 driven primarily by an increase in unused commercial line fees.

Market Value Adjustments on Employee Benefit Assets

Market value adjustments on employee benefit assets are the reflection of market value variations related to assets held for certain employee benefits. Unfavorable market value adjustments on employee benefit assets decreased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 due to market volatility. The adjustments are offset in salaries and benefits and other non-interest expense.

Securities Gains (Losses), net

Net securities gains (losses) primarily result from the Company's asset/liability management process. See Table 1 "Debt Securities" section and Note 2 "Debt Securities" to the consolidated financial statements for more information.

Other Miscellaneous Income

Other miscellaneous income includes net revenue from affordable housing, valuation adjustments to equity investments, fees from safe deposit boxes, check fees and other miscellaneous income. Net revenue from affordable housing includes actual gains and losses resulting from the sale of affordable housing investments, cash distributions from the investments and any related impairment charges. Other miscellaneous income decreased in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to a decline in commercial loan and leasing related fee income and a customer's bankruptcy-related distribution in the second quarter of 2022 that did not repeat.

Salaries and Employee Benefits

Salaries and employee benefits consist of salaries, incentive compensation, long-term incentives, payroll taxes, and other employee benefits such as 401(k), pension, and medical, life and disability insurance, as well as, expenses from liabilities held for employee benefit purposes. Salaries and employee benefits increased in the second quarter of 2023 and the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to increases in base salaries and higher benefit expenses partially offset by a decline in incentive compensation. Full-time equivalent headcount increased to 20,349 at June 30, 2023 from 19,673 at June 30, 2022 further contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Credit/checkcard Expenses

Credit/checkcard expenses include credit and checkcard fraud and expenses. Credit/checkcard expenses decreased in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to a debit card accrual increase in the first quarter of 2022 related to a previous matter that did not repeat.

FDIC Insurance Assessments

FDIC insurance assessments increased in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to higher FDIC premium expenses primarily resulting from a two basis point increase in the quarterly assessment rate schedules charged to all financial institutions effective for the first quarter of 2023. To a lesser degree, changes in other factors including continued credit normalization and declining cash balances contributed to the increase.

The FDIC has estimated losses resulting from recent large regional institution failures, including the portion attributable to protection of uninsured depositors under the Systemic Risk Exception. Federal law requires that any losses to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund related to this action be repaid by a special assessment on banks. In the second quarter of 2023, the FDIC released a proposal for the special assessment related to the two March 2023 bank failures, estimated at $15.8 billion. The assessment to cover these losses is proposed to be paid at an annual rate of approximately 12.5 basis points over eight quarterly assessment periods beginning in the first quarter of 2024. If the proposal is finalized as drafted, Regions would pay approximately $111 million. The full amount would be accrued concurrent with the finalization of the rule. Regions expects the special assessment to be deductible for income taxes.

Operational Losses

Operational losses include losses related to fraud, execution, delivery and process management, and damage to physical assets. Operational losses increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 due to elevated fraud losses stemming from a spike in check fraud in the second quarter of 2023; however, the Company has since implemented effective countermeasures and losses have returned to normalized levels. An increasing fraud loss trend has been experienced by banks across the industry.

Branch Consolidation, Property and Equipment Charges

Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges include valuation adjustments related to owned branches when the decision to close them is made. Accelerated depreciation and lease write-off charges are recorded for leased branches through and at the actual branch close date. Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges also include costs related to occupancy optimization initiatives. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized gains on the disposition of branch properties.

Other Miscellaneous Expenses

Other miscellaneous expenses include expenses related to communications, postage, supplies, certain credit-related costs, foreclosed property expenses, mortgage repurchase costs, and other costs (benefits) related to employee benefit plans. Other miscellaneous expenses increased in the second quarter of 2023 and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to higher non-service based pension-related expenses and, to a lesser degree, higher fees associated with licenses and taxes.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $147 million compared to $157 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.2 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $324 million compared to $311 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 21.4 percent and 21.6 percent, respectively. See the "Second Quarter Overview" for the Company's near-term expectations for future tax rates.

The effective tax rate is affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the level of pre-tax income, the mix of income between various tax jurisdictions with differing tax rates, enacted tax legislation, net tax benefits related to affordable housing investments, bank-owned life insurance income, tax-exempt interest and nondeductible expenses. In addition, the effective tax rate is affected by items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period-to-period, such as the termination of certain leveraged leases, share-based payments, valuation allowance changes and changes to unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, the comparability of the effective tax rate between periods may be impacted.

At June 30, 2023, the Company reported a net deferred tax asset of $955 million compared to $943 million at December 31, 2022.
