Cautionary statement

This report contains 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, including the

recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (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.

Fifth Third Bank | All Rights Reserved

Well-positioned for changed financial landscape

Fifth Third’s business model is driven by traditional banking activities

—

Largest bank headquartered within Fifth Third’s core Midwest footprint

—

Focused on expansion and development of businesses where regional leadership

matters

—

Capital investments, management talent, and added focus on businesses where

(1) regional leadership creates an advantage (i.e., retail, small business, and mid-

market commercial), and (2) select national lines where the bank

has a distinctive

element (i.e., Fifth Third Processing Solutions, Indirect Auto, Healthcare)

—

Didn’t / don’t originate / sell CDOs

or securitize loans on behalf of others; no

mortgage securitizations outstanding (except <$150mm HELOC from 2003)

—

Didn’t / don’t originate / sell subprime mortgages or Option ARMs

—

Low level of financial system “interconnectedness”

(e.g., Fifth Third loss in

Lehman bankruptcy should be less than $2mm)

—

Little to no impact from Volcker rule (de minimis

market maker in derivatives,

proprietary trading); daily VaR

less than $500 thousand

–

Small private equity portfolio ~$100mm (holding company subsidiary)

Fifth Third’s businesses have performed well through the crisis, and we expect

reintermediation

and the landscape to evolve further toward our traditional strengths

Effects of capital plan and TARP repayment

on income statement and earnings per share

Fifth Third has not provided earnings or earnings per share guidance

The comments below relate to the effects of our capital plan on our earnings and earnings per share.

—

Write-off of discount accretion and avoidance of accretion of discount: when we recorded the TARP preferred in

our books, we were required to allocate the $3.408 billion to the value of the preferred stock and to the

associated warrants. The amortized value of the discount assigned to the preferred stock was $149 million as of

2/2/11, the date of TARP repayment. This was written-off at the time of TARP redemption through an increase in

the “preferred dividends”

reporting line and reduced income available to common shareholders by the amount of

the write-off. We will avoid future accretion of discount ($11 million in 4Q10)

—

TARP preferred dividend: The TARP preferred dividend was 5% of $3.408 billion ($170.4 million a year or $42.6

million a quarter). It represented approximately $0.20 per common share on an annual basis and approximately

$0.05 per common share on a quarterly basis. Net income available to common shareholders began to benefit

from the elimination of this dividend at the time of TARP repayment on 2/2/11 –

accrued dividends paid were $15

million through that date.

—

Net interest income is modestly reduced by the net effect of our

capital plan and TARP repayment. This is driven

by the following factors:

–

Our common stock issuance closed on 1/25/11 and is “free funds”

from a net interest income perspective.

However, TARP preferred stock is also free funds from a net interest income perspective.

–

We funded the remainder of TARP repayment with available funds and a $1 billion senior debt issuance. The

cost of replacing available funds with other sources of similar funding is currently very low in this interest

rate environment. The $1 billion five-year senior debt was issued on 1/25/11 at a coupon of 3.625 percent.

—

Earnings per share: Our average fully diluted share count for fourth quarter 2010 was approximately 836 million

(actual shares were approximately 796 million). We issued 121.429 million shares on 1/25/11, increasing our 4Q10

average fully diluted share count on a pro forma basis and increasing the number of fully diluted shares by

approximately 12.5 percent (number of actual shares by approximately 13 percent).

–

Issued 960 thousand shares to settle equity forward agreement associated with the issuance of shares under

greenshoe

over-allotment option

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

less likely to redefault

than

modifications on GSE mortgages

Of $1.8bn in consumer TDRs, $1.6bn were on accrual status

and $206mm were nonaccruals

—

$1.1bn

of

TDRs

are

current

and

have

been

on

the

books 6 or more months; within that, nearly $800mm

of TDRs

are current and have been on the books for

more than a year

As current TDRs

season, their default propensity declines

significantly

—

We see much lower defaults on current loans after a

vintage approaches 12 months since modification

Regulation G Non-GAAP reconciliation

The Bancorp considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity ratio, tangible common equity ratio and

tier I common equity ratio, in addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by

banking regulators for both absolute and comparative purposes. Because U.S. GAAP does not include capital ratio measures, the Bancorp believes there are no

comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures to these ratios. Tier I common equity is not formally defined by U.S. GAAP or codified in the federal banking

regulations and, therefore, is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess the Bancorp’s capital

adequacy using these ratios, the Bancorp believes they are useful to provide investors the ability to assess its capital adequacy on this same basis.

The Bancorp believes these non-GAAP measures are important because they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions.

Additionally, presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of the Bancorp’s capitalization to other organizations. However, because

there are no standardized definitions for these ratios, the Bancorp’s calculations may not be comparable with other organizations, and the usefulness of these

measures to investors may be limited. As a result, the Bancorp encourages readers to consider its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in their

entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
