Fifth Third Bancorp (Nasdaq: FITB) today reported first quarter 2008 earnings of $292 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with $16 million, or $0.03 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $359 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007.

Reported results include a gain of $273 million pre-tax, or $0.33 per share after-tax, related to the redemption of a portion of our ownership interests in Visa, Inc., as well as the reversal of $152 million pre-tax in expenses, or $0.19 per share after-tax, representing a portion of the previously recorded litigation reserves, both related to Visa’s initial public offering. Reported results also include a non-cash estimated charge of $144 million pre-tax, or $0.21 per share after-tax, to further reduce the current cash surrender value of one of our Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policies, and expenses related to acquisitions and severance expenses totaling $16 million pre-tax, or $0.02 per share after-tax.

As noted above, the BOLI charge is based on quarter-end estimated values and is subject to change. Our financial results, which we expect to file on Form 10-Q in early May, will be based on the most current March 31, 2008 performance information we have received concerning the performance of the underlying investments. Performance information received after the date of this release could result in changes that would affect the reported earnings, earnings per share, and other financial measures reported in the release.

“This quarter we produced excellent loan and deposit growth that drove impressive performance in net interest income and continued strong fee growth from our businesses,” said Kevin T. Kabat, President and CEO of Fifth Third Bancorp. “However, strong operating performance continues to be offset by higher credit costs, primarily reflecting further deterioration of residential real estate, homebuilder and residential development loans. Nonperforming asset growth and higher loan losses reflect a weaker economic environment and continue to be disproportionately experienced in Florida and Michigan. Based on these developments, we significantly increased our allowance for loan and lease losses during the quarter.

We remain very active in taking steps to address the issues we and the industry are facing, and to work with borrowers to address difficulties they are experiencing. We expect credit conditions to continue to deteriorate in the near term, and to experience higher nonperforming assets and credit losses during this period.

Although every credit cycle differs, we expect them to occur. We take seriously our responsibility to provide credit to our customers, to lend prudently, and to maintain the capital necessary to manage through these cycles. This is an unusually difficult cycle, but we believe Fifth Third is well-positioned relative to many of its peers. We expect to continue to post strong operating results, to execute on our strategic plans, and to capitalize on the opportunities that are created by an environment such as this.”

Net interest income of $826 million on a taxable equivalent basis grew $41 million, or 5 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2007. Net interest income benefited from lower funding costs on core deposits and wholesale borrowings as well as strong growth in earning assets, which more than offset the effect of lower asset yields, the effect of loan securitizations, tightening spreads between LIBOR and Fed Funds rates and growth in non-earning assets. The net interest margin was 3.41 percent, up 12 bps from the fourth quarter of 2007, primarily driven by 26 bps widening of the net interest rate spread resulting from effective rate management as market rates have declined.

Compared with the first quarter of 2007, net interest income increased $84 million, or 11 percent, and net interest margin compressed 3 bps from 3.44 percent. The increase in net interest income reflected earning assets growth and 28 bps widening in the net interest rate spread. The growth in assets and lower free funding offset the benefits of wider spreads in the net interest margin.

Average loan and lease balances grew 4 percent sequentially and 9 percent from the first quarter of last year. Average commercial loans and leases grew 5 percent sequentially and 13 percent compared with the first quarter of 2007. Growth was primarily driven by commercial and industrial (C&I) lending, up 7 percent sequentially and 21 percent versus a year ago, reflecting solid production across most of our footprint. Compared with last quarter, commercial mortgage balances increased $519 million. Consumer loans and leases were up 1 percent sequentially and increased 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2007. Comparisons with both periods reflect growth in residential mortgages and credit card loans, offset by lower home equity originations and securitization activity.

First quarter loan sales and securitizations totaled approximately $3.3 billion, including $2.7 billion of auto loans and $615 million in residential mortgage-related loans.

Average core deposits were up 2 percent sequentially and 5 percent year-over-year, with transaction deposits (excluding consumer time deposits) growing 3 percent sequentially and 7 percent from a year ago. Core

deposit growth versus the fourth quarter of 2007 was driven primarily by growth in interest checking, savings and money market balances which offset a seasonal decline in demand deposit account (DDA) and consumer certificate of deposits (CD) balances. On a year-over-year basis, strong growth in savings, foreign office deposits and money market balances more than offset lower interest checking balances.

Retail core deposits increased 2 percent sequentially and 4 percent year-over-year. Growth in savings, money market balances, and demand deposit accounts more than offset a sequential decline in CD balances and a year-over-year decline in interest checking and CDs. Commercial core deposits increased 2 percent sequentially and 7 percent year-over-year. Strong sequential growth in money market accounts, interest checking, and foreign office deposits more than offset declines in seasonally lower DDA and savings balances. On a year-over-year basis, strong growth in foreign office deposits, interest checking, money market accounts, and CDs more than offset lower DDA and savings balances.

Noninterest income of $872 million grew $363 million sequentially and $264 million from a year ago. Growth was driven by the $273 million gain resulting from the Visa IPO, partially offset by an estimated $144 million pre-tax charge to further reduce the cash surrender value of one of our BOLI policies. This charge was due to further deterioration in the values of the underlying investments of the policy, reflecting widening credit and municipal spreads during the quarter. First quarter results also included net securities gains of $30 million. Fourth quarter 2007 noninterest income included a $177 million charge related to the same BOLI policy, a $22 million loss due to the termination of cash flow hedges, and $13 million in net securities gains. Sequential growth was otherwise driven by strong mortgage banking revenue that more than offset seasonally lower payments processing and deposit service charge revenue. Year-over-year comparisons reflected strong growth in mortgage banking, payments processing, deposit service charges and corporate banking revenue.

Electronic payment processing (EPP) revenue of $213 million decreased 5 percent sequentially from seasonally strong fourth quarter levels. EPP revenue increased 15 percent from a year ago driven by continued strong merchant processing results, up 23 percent, as well as 17 percent growth in card issuer interchange primarily due to higher debit card usage. Higher debit and credit card usage volumes drove solid financial institutions revenue growth of 6 percent versus the first quarter of 2007.

5

Service charges on deposits of $147 million declined 8 percent sequentially and increased 17 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Retail service charges declined 16 percent from the fourth quarter, reflecting lower levels of customer activity compared with seasonally strong fourth quarter levels. Retail service charges grew 17 percent compared with the first quarter a year ago on higher customer activity and growth in the number of accounts. Commercial service charges increased 3 percent sequentially and 17 percent compared with last year. This growth primarily reflects the effect of lower market interest rates, as reduced earnings credit rates paid to customers have resulted in higher use of services fees to pay for treasury management services.

Corporate banking revenue of $107 million increased $1 million sequentially and $24 million or 30 percent year-over-year. Included in revenue for the quarter were $8 million in losses related to $102 million of commercial mortgages that were moved from the held-for-sale portfolio to the held-for-investment portfolio during the quarter. Revenue growth for both periods was driven by broad-based strength, with particularly strong growth in foreign exchange and customer interest rate derivative sales resulting from more volatile markets and increased penetration of our middle-market customer base.

Investment advisory revenue of $93 million was down 1 percent sequentially and 3 percent from the first quarter of 2007. Institutional trust revenue decreased 4 percent sequentially and 1 percent year-over-year largely due to market value declines. Brokerage fee revenue was up 3 percent sequentially and down 4 percent from the first quarter of 2007, reflecting a shift in assets from stock and bond funds to money market funds.

Mortgage banking net revenue totaled $97 million in the first quarter of 2008, a $71 million increase from the previous quarter and a $57 million increase from the first quarter of 2007. First quarter originations of $4 billion increased 49 percent sequentially and 41 percent from the prior year, driven by customer activity related to lower interest rates during the quarter. Strong originations resulted in gains on the sale of mortgages of $93 million, compared with $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $26 million in the first quarter of 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the Bancorp adopted FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”) for valuation and treatment of origination costs related to mortgages originated for sale. The revenue impact of this adoption in the first quarter of 2008 was an increase of approximately $25 million. Upon adoption of FAS 159, origination costs of approximately $20 million this quarter are now being recognized immediately in expense that previous to this adoption were deferred and offset against flow revenue. Additionally, we recognized gains of approximately $5 million in the first quarter related to embedded gains which previous to this adoption would not have been realized until sale. Revenue for the first quarter included $11 million related to gains on the sale of portfolio loans compared with $1 million and $5 million in the fourth and first quarters of 2007. Net servicing revenue, before mortgage servicing rights (MSR) valuation adjustments, totaled $8 million in the first quarter, compared with $14 million last quarter and $13 million a year ago. MSR valuation adjustments, including mark-to-market related

6

adjustments on free-standing derivatives, netted to a $3 million loss in the first quarter of 2008, compared with a $6 million loss last quarter. The mortgage servicing asset, net of valuation reserve, was $592 million at quarter end on a servicing portfolio of $36.5 billion.

Net securities gains of $3 million offsetting MSR valuation adjustments were recorded in the first quarter on non-qualifying hedges on mortgage servicing rights compared with $6 million last quarter.

Net gains on investment securities were $27 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared with net gains of $7 million last quarter.

Other noninterest income totaled $185 million in the first quarter compared with a loss of $113 million last quarter and income of $78 million in the same quarter last year. Results in the first quarter of 2008 included a $273 million gain resulting from the Visa IPO and an estimated charge of $144 million related to the decrease in the cash surrender value of one of our BOLI policies. Results also included $26 million in losses associated with the sale of auto loans during the quarter and $15 million in gains on sale from auto securitization transactions. Last quarter’s results included the decrease in value of the BOLI policy of $177 million as well as a $22 million loss on the termination of hedges associated with auto loans held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2007. Also included the fourth quarter of 2007 results was a $7 million gain on the sale of $53 million of certain non-strategic credit card accounts.

Noninterest expense of $715 million decreased by $225 million from the fourth quarter of 2007 and $38 million from a year ago. First quarter results included the reversal of $152 million in Visa litigation reserves, $9 million in severance-related costs and $7 million in acquisition-related expenses. Fourth quarter results included $94 million in litigation expenses related to the Visa/American Express settlement and $8 million in acquisition-related expenses. Employee compensation expenses increased sequentially by $48 million. This increase was the result of seasonally higher FICA and unemployment expenses, up $18 million; $9 million in severance expense; and approximately $20 million in mortgage origination costs related to the adoption of FAS 159. Payment processing expense declined 3 percent sequentially from seasonally strong fourth quarter levels. Expense growth from a year ago was primarily related to the FAS 159 mortgage origination costs,

volume-related processing expense, incentive compensation, branch expansion related expenses including RG Crown, and technology investments.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans and leases were 137 bps in the first quarter, compared with 89 bps in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 39 bps in the first quarter of 2007. Loss experience continues to be concentrated in Michigan and Florida and primarily related to consumer residential real estate loans as well as loans to residential real estate builders and developers. Michigan and Florida represented approximately 57 percent of total first quarter net charge-offs. Residential real estate losses were 27 percent of total net charge-offs, and losses on loans to residential real estate builders and developers were 15 percent of total net charge-offs.

Consumer net charge-offs of $135 million, or 158 bps, grew $36 million from the fourth quarter of 2007, driven primarily by losses in the residential real estate portfolio. Net charge-offs in Michigan and Florida represented 38 percent of consumer losses in the first quarter, up from 34 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. Home equity net charge-offs of $41 million increased $9 million compared with last quarter, primarily due to increased losses on brokered home equity loans reflecting borrower stress and lower home price valuations. Originations of these loans has been discontinued. Net losses on brokered home equity loans were $23 million, or 55 percent, of first quarter home equity losses. Brokered home equity loans represented $2.6 billion, or 22 percent, of total home equity portfolio of $11.8 billion. Michigan and Florida represented 40 percent of first quarter home equity losses, up from 37 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. Net charge-offs within the residential mortgage portfolio were $34 million, an increase of $16 million, primarily as a result of declining property values on loans at foreclosure, with losses in Michigan and Florida representing 64 percent of losses in the first quarter, up from 58 percent in the previous quarter. Net charge-offs in the auto portfolio

8

increased $5 million from the fourth quarter to $35 million. The auto loan charge-off ratio increased due primarily to the movement during the last several quarters of more recent vintage auto loans from the portfolio to held for sale, which has resulted in a portfolio consisting of more mature loans nearer to their peak loss cycle. Prior quarter auto loan net charge offs also include a $1 million recovery due to a sale of charged off loans.

Commercial net charge-offs of $141 million, or 121 bps, increased $66 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2007. Losses related to residential real estate builders and developers represented $42 million, or 30 percent, of commercial charge-offs. Commercial construction net charge-offs increased to $72 million from $12 million the previous quarter, driven by homebuilder and residential development losses. Michigan and Florida accounted for 89 percent of these losses. Commercial mortgage net charge-offs increased to $33 million, up $18 million from the fourth quarter of 2007. Michigan and Florida accounted for 82 percent of these losses. Net charge-offs in the C&I portfolio were $36 million, down $12 million from the fourth quarter of 2007.

Provision for loan and lease losses totaled $544 million in the first quarter of 2008, exceeding net charge-offs by $268 million. The increase in the provision for loan and lease losses and allowance for loan and lease losses was driven by higher probable losses resulting from deterioration in residential real estate collateral values and negative trends in nonperforming and other criticized assets.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.49 percent of total loans and leases outstanding as of quarter end, compared with 1.17 percent last quarter and 1.05 percent in the same quarter last year.

Nonperforming assets (NPAs) at quarter end were $1.6 billion, or 1.96 percent of total loans and leases and other real estate owned (“OREO”), up from 1.32 percent last quarter and 0.66 percent in the first quarter a year ago. Sequential growth in NPAs was $528 million, or 50 percent, driven by increases related to residential real estate builders and developers as well as residential real estate OREO.

Commercial NPAs of $1.1 billion, or 2.20 percent, grew $363 million or 52 percent in the first quarter of 2008. Commercial NPA growth was primarily driven by continued deterioration in the commercial construction and commercial mortgage portfolios, particularly in Michigan and Florida. NPAs in the C&I portfolio of $305 million increased $126 million from the previous quarter. Commercial construction NPAs were $418 million, an increase of $162 million from the fourth quarter of 2007. Commercial mortgage NPAs were $325 million, a sequential increase of $70 million. Commercial real estate loans in Michigan and Florida represented 46 percent of our total commercial real estate portfolio. Increases in NPAs in these states represented 69 percent of commercial real estate NPA growth and these regions accounted for 66 percent of total commercial real estate NPAs. Residential real estate builders and developers represented approximately $309 million in commercial NPAs, an increase of $133 million from the fourth quarter of 2007.

Consumer NPAs of $534 million, or 1.62 percent, rose $165 million, or 45 percent in the first quarter of 2008. Of the growth, $156 million was experienced in residential real estate portfolios. Residential mortgage NPAs increased $117 million to $333 million, of which $122 million was in OREO. Of residential mortgage NPAs, $12 million were in residential construction loans (of which $5 million was OREO). Home equity NPAs increased $38 million to $162 million, of which $34 million was OREO. Residential real estate loans in Michigan and Florida represented 71 percent of the growth in residential real estate NPAs, 58 percent of total residential real estate NPAs, and 26 percent of total residential real estate loans. Included within consumer NPAs, primarily in residential real estate loans, were $172 million in troubled debt restructurings, including

10

$92 million restructured in the first quarter of 2008. These debt restructurings assist qualifying borrowers in creating workable payment plans to enable them to remain in their homes.

Loans still accruing over 90 days past due were $539 million, up $48 million from the fourth quarter of 2007. Consumer 90 days past due balances increased 5 percent from the previous quarter and commercial 90 days past due balances increased 18 percent. Growth in commercial and consumer 90 days past dues was generally concentrated in commercial real estate and residential mortgages in the regions noted earlier.

(a) Current period regulatory capital data and ratios are estimated

The tangible common equity ratio increased 17 bps to 6.22 percent due to higher retained earnings and the effect of loan securitizations. The Tier 1 capital ratio decreased 1 bps to 7.71 percent. The total capital ratio increased 116 bps due to the aforementioned factors and the issuance of $1.0 billion on Tier 2 qualifying subordinated debt during the first quarter.

There were no open market share repurchases during the quarter and, as of March 31, 2008, there were 19.2 million shares remaining under our current share repurchase authorization.

On August 16, 2007, Fifth Third Bancorp and First Charter Corporation signed a definitive agreement for Fifth Third to acquire First Charter, which operates 57 branches in North Carolina and two in Atlanta. Fifth Third has received all regulatory approvals and currently expects to close this transaction in the latter part of the second quarter of 2008 after completion of the election process. This transaction, when consummated, is expected to reduce capital ratios by approximately 35 bps. On March 26, 2008, Fifth Third and First Horizon Corporation announced an agreement was reached on terms for the completion of Fifth Third’s acquisition of nine branches and their deposits in the Atlanta metro area from First Horizon, originally announced September 25, 2007. Fifth Third has received all necessary regulatory approvals and the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2008.
