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

Total revenue of approximately $1.8 billion decreased approximately 2 percent on both a reported and adjusted basis(1) compared to the third quarter of 2023. Consistent with the company's expectations, net interest income decreased during the quarter to $1.2 billion or 5 percent compared to the third quarter attributable to higher deposit and funding costs and a portion of the company's forward starting interest rate hedges becoming active, partially offset by the impact of higher market interest rates on new fixed-rate asset originations. Total net interest margin decreased 13 basis points to 3.60 percent.

3

Non-interest income increased 2 percent on a reported and 3 percent on an adjusted basis(1) compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily driven by modest increases in most categories partially offset by lower capital markets income. Service charges increased 1 percent while treasury management produced another record year in 2023. Mortgage income increased during the quarter primarily attributable to higher servicing income associated with a bulk purchase of the rights to service $6.2 billion of residential mortgage loans that closed in the third quarter. Wealth management increased 4 percent primarily attributable to better production and improved markets contributing to another record year in 2023. Other non-interest income also increased driven primarily by gains associated with lease sales during the quarter. The decrease in capital markets income was primarily attributable to lower real estate capital markets income, as well as lower merger and acquisitions advisory services.

Non-interest expense increased 8 percent on a reported basis, but decreased 5 percent on an adjusted basis(1) compared to the third quarter of 2023. Fourth quarter adjusted items included $119 million for Regions' FDIC insurance special assessment and $28 million associated with severance charges. Salaries and benefits increased 3 percent driven primarily by higher severance costs during the quarter partially offset by lower incentive compensation and reduced headcount. Excluding severance costs, salaries and benefits would have decreased 1 percent compared to the third quarter. As expected, operational losses decreased significantly compared to the prior quarter.

The company's fourth quarter efficiency ratio was 65.0 percent on a reported basis and 56.9 percent on an adjusted basis(1). The effective tax rate was 17.0 percent in the fourth quarter compared to 20.9 percent in the third quarter. The effective tax rate reflects lower than expected pre-tax income for the year causing the impact of tax preferential items to increase during the quarter, as well as discrete income tax benefits related to prior year income tax filings.

*     Other consumer loans includes EnerBank (Regions' point of sale home improvement portfolio).

Average loans and leases remained relatively stable compared to the prior quarter. Average business loans decreased 1 percent, offset by modest growth in consumer loans. Commercial loan line utilization levels ended the quarter at approximately 42.3 percent, decreasing 100 basis points over the prior quarter, while line commitments decreased 1 percent. The growth in consumer loans was driven by residential first mortgage and EnerBank partially offset by the sale of an unsecured consumer exit portfolio.

The company's deposit base continues to be a source of strength and a differentiator in liquidity and margin performance. Total ending and average deposits increased modestly during the fourth quarter and included continued remixing out of non-interest-bearing products into interest-bearing products. Declines in average Consumer deposits were offset by stability or growth in other segments.

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

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

Overall asset quality continued to normalize during the quarter. Business services criticized loans and non-performing loans increased driven primarily by downgrades within loan categories previously identified as under stress. The increase in non-performing loans in the fourth quarter was primarily attributable to office, transportation, consumer discretionary manufacturing, and restaurant lending. Total reported net charge-offs for the quarter were $132 million, or 54 basis points of average loans; however, excluding the fair value mark associated with the sale of a consumer unsecured exit portfolio, adjusted net charge-offs(1) declined 1 basis point to 39 basis points of average loans.

The increase to the allowance for credit losses compared to the third quarter was attributable primarily to adverse risk migration and continued credit quality normalization, as well as higher qualitative adjustments for incremental risk in certain higher risk portfolios.

The allowance for credit loss ratio increased 3 basis points to 1.73 percent of total loans, while the allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans decreased to 211 percent. Excluding the consumer unsecured exit portfolio sold in the fourth quarter, the allowance for credit loss ratio would have increased 6 basis points.

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, or the need to price interest-bearing deposits higher due to competitive forces. Either of these activities 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.

•Changing 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.

•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.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures

Management uses pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP) and adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP), as well as the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) and the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP) to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted fee income ratio. Adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP) and adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP) are used to determine adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP). Net interest income (GAAP) on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the adjusted fee income and adjusted efficiency ratios. Net loan charge-offs (GAAP) are presented excluding adjustments to arrive at adjusted net loan-charge offs (non-GAAP). Adjusted net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (non-GAAP) are calculated as adjusted net loan charge-offs (non-GAAP) divided by average loans (GAAP) and annualized. Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions’ business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management.

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

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

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

•Preparation of Regions' operating budgets

•Monthly financial performance reporting

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

•Presentation to investors of company performance

•Metrics for incentive compensation
