Portfolios subdivided into appropriate categories (i.e. liquidating vs. non-
liquidating home equity)
Results derived using combination of regression models, loss curves and roll
rates, and applied economic factors

Realized credit losses have been significantly below SCAP submissions; expected to continue
SCAP Baseline Scenario
(Submitted; Mar 2009)
SCAP Adverse Scenario
(Supervisory; Mar 2009)
* Red SCAP line represents more adverse scenario as adjusted by supervisors for additional assumed two-year losses. Supervisory estimates of total two-year losses
under more adverse scenario were not allocated by period. Estimate allocates total two-year supervisory losses using the allocation under Fifth Third’s submission.

Fifth Third
capitalized for this
level of credit losses
under SCAP (plus
surplus raised vs.
buffer)
Fifth Third’s realized credit losses
have been significantly below its
SCAP submitted baseline and
more adverse scenarios
In SCAP submissions, we
incorporated significant
conservatism, given then-
prevailing negative economic
and industry trends and
extreme uncertainty in
potential loss outcomes at
the time
Economic and credit market
conditions have been much
better than potential
downside expectations in
Spring 2009, benefiting
results vs. SCAP scenarios
Base and stress scenarios reflect
Moody’s Base Case and Moody’s
Weaker Recover / Mild Second 
Recession Case (as of March
2010)**
Our current expectation is for
2010 losses to be lower than 2009

During 1Q09 the Bancorp modified its nonaccrual policy to exclude TDR loans less than 90 days past due because they were performing in accordance with restructured
terms. For comparability purposes, prior periods were adjusted to reflect this reclassification.

Troubled debt restructurings (TDR) overview
Successive improvement in vintage performance during 2008 and
2009, even as volume of modification increased
Fifth Third’s mortgage portfolio TDRs
have redefaulted
at a lower
rate than other bank held portfolio modifications
Fifth Third’s TDRs
are about a third less likely to redefault
than modifications on GSE mortgages
Of $1.8B in consumer TDRs, over $1.3B (76%) are current
$940M of those have been current more than 6 months,
approximately half of which have been current more than a
year
As current TDRs
season, their default propensity declines
significantly
We
do not typically see significant defaults on current loans
once a vintage approaches 12 months since modification
Delinquent TDRs
total $415M (24%)
Of $1.8B in consumer TDRs, $1.5B are on accrual status and $271M
are nonaccruals

Cautionary statement
This report may contain statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations,
plans, objectives, future performance or business. They usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as “will
likely result,” “may,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “projected,” “intends to,” or may include other similar
words or phrases such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continue,” “remain,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional
verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs. You should not place undue reliance on these
statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risk factors set forth in our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and
uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements we may make. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as
of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to us. 
There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (1) general economic
conditions and weakening in the economy, specifically the real estate market, either nationally or in the states in which Fifth Third,
one or more acquired entities and/or the combined company do business, are less favorable than expected; (2) deteriorating credit
quality; (3) political developments, wars or other hostilities may disrupt or increase volatility in securities markets or other economic
conditions; (4) changes in the interest rate environment reduce interest margins; (5) prepayment speeds, loan origination and sale
volumes, charge-offs and loan loss provisions; (6) Fifth Third’s ability to maintain required capital levels and adequate sources of
funding and liquidity; (7) maintaining capital requirements may limit Fifth Third’s operations and potential growth; (8) changes and
trends in capital markets; (9) problems encountered by larger or similar financial institutions may adversely affect the banking
industry and/or Fifth Third (10) competitive pressures among depository institutions increase significantly; (11) effects of critical
accounting policies and judgments; (12) changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other regulatory agencies; (13) legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant
litigation, adversely affect Fifth Third, one or more acquired entities and/or the combined company or the businesses in which Fifth
Third, one or more acquired entities and/or the combined company are engaged; (14) ability to maintain favorable ratings from rating
agencies; (15) fluctuation of Fifth Third’s stock price; (16) ability to attract and retain key personnel; (17) ability to receive dividends
from its subsidiaries; (18) potentially dilutive effect of future acquisitions on current shareholders’ ownership of Fifth Third; (19) effects
of accounting or financial results of one or more acquired entities; (20) difficulties in separating Fifth Third Processing Solutions from
Fifth Third; (21) loss of income from any sale or potential sale of businesses that could have an adverse effect on Fifth Third’s
earnings and future growth;(22) ability to secure confidential information through the use of computer systems and
telecommunications networks; and (23) the impact of reputational risk created by these developments on such matters as business
generation and retention, funding and liquidity.
You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” for further
information on other factors, which could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements.
