Fifth Third Bancorp (Nasdaq: FITB) today reported full year 2011 net income of $1.3 billion, compared with net income of $753 million in 2010. After preferred dividends, 2011 net income available to common shareholders was $1.1 billion, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared with 2010 net income available to common shareholders of $503 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. Preferred dividends in the first quarter of 2011 included $153 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, of discount accretion primarily related to the repayment of TARP preferred stock, as well as $15 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of contractual dividend payments on the TARP preferred stock. TARP preferred dividends in 2010 were $215 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, including $170 million of contractual dividend payments and $45 million of discount accretion.

Fourth quarter 2011 net income was $314 million, compared with net income of $381 million in the third quarter of 2011 and net income of $333 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. After preferred dividends, fourth quarter 2011 net income available to common shareholders was $305 million or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with third quarter net income of $373 million or $0.40 per diluted share, and net income of $270 million or $0.33 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010.

As previously announced, fourth quarter 2011 results included a $54 million pre-tax charge to noninterest income related to changes in the fair value of a swap liability that Fifth Third entered into in conjunction with its sale of Class B Visa shares in 2009 (compared with a $17 million charge in the third quarter of 2011 and a $5 million charge in the fourth quarter of 2010) and a $14 million charge in noninterest expense to increase litigation reserves associated with bankcard association membership. Fourth quarter 2011 results also included $10 million in positive valuation adjustments on Vantiv LLC puts and warrants compared with $3 million in positive valuation adjustments in both the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010, and investment securities gains of $5 million compared with gains of $26 million in the third quarter of 2011 and gains of $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Third quarter 2011 results also included $28 million of expense related to the termination of certain FHLB borrowings and hedging transactions. Fourth quarter 2010 results also included a $17 million charge related to the early extinguishment of $1.0 billion in FHLB borrowings.

“Fifth Third’s 2011 results clearly demonstrated continued improvement, with net income available to common shareholders more than doubling compared with last year,” said Kevin T. Kabat, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bancorp. “We’re growing our loan portfolio, credit trends continued to improve, and we continue to maintain a strong capital position.

“Throughout 2011, we have seen solid expansion of the loan portfolio through our lending activities, although demand remained relatively soft, with total loan growth of 5 percent from a year ago. The fourth quarter saw a significant pick-up in demand and loan growth, with end of period total loan growth of 2 percent, including 5 percent in C&I lending which continues to be a strength for us.

“Growth in loans, along with continued runoff in excess CD balances, drove an expansion in net interest income and net interest margin, which were up sequentially by 2 percent and 2 basis points, respectively. Noninterest income trends reflected the impact of several fourth quarter developments, including the implementation of new debit interchange regulations, a charge related to our previous sale of Visa, Inc. shares, and lower mortgage banking revenue relative to last quarter’s strong results. Fourth quarter expenses were elevated due to a litigation reserve charge related to bankcard association membership and higher compensation expense, which included several unusual items as well as the impact of strong loan production volumes, particularly mortgages, on incentives and fulfillment costs.

“Credit trends continued to be favorable, with net charge-offs down 9 percent sequentially to 1.19 percent of loans and leases, the lowest since 2007. Nonperforming assets (excluding held-for-sale) declined 7 percent sequentially, and delinquency trends remain consistent with pre-crisis levels.

“While regulatory headwinds remain for the industry, as we look to 2012, we believe Fifth Third Bank is well-positioned to continue to outperform other banking competitors.”

Net interest income of $920 million on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $18 million from the third quarter of 2011. Interest income increased $2 million and interest expense declined $16 million. Interest income results reflected a $12 million increase from loans and $10 million reduction from securities. Those trends were driven by loan growth, which more than offset the effect of lower securities balances, lower reinvestment rates on securities given the current interest rate environment, and lower yields on loans. Interest expense improvements were driven by lower deposit costs, including the $16 million impact of continued run-off of high-rate CDs and their replacement into lower yielding products, as well as the benefit from FHLB debt termination and swap redemptions in the third quarter of 2011. These effects were partially offset by increased expense as a result of hedge ineffectiveness in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to changes in the interest rate environment.

The net interest margin was 3.67 percent, an increase of 2 bps from 3.65 percent in the previous quarter. The increase reflected the net effect of the factors mentioned in the net interest income discussion, with net certificate of deposit (CD) runoff contributing approximately 7 bps to the margin and loan growth contributing 2 bps, while lower loan yields reduced the margin by approximately 5 bps while increased hedge ineffectiveness reduced the margin by 2 bps.

Compared with the fourth quarter of 2010, net interest income increased $1 million and the net interest margin decreased 8 bps, which was largely the result of lower loan and investment securities yields, partially offset by higher average loan balances, run-off in higher-priced CDs, and mix shift to lower cost deposit products.

Securities

Average securities and other short-term investments were $17.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with $18.1 billion in the previous quarter and $18.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decline was related to lower reinvestment of portfolio cash flows and lower short-term investment balances due to the repayment of FHLB borrowings entered into during the debt ceiling crisis.

Average and end of period loan and lease balances (excluding loans held-for-sale) were up 2 percent sequentially and 5 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010.

Average commercial portfolio loan and lease balances were up $757 million sequentially, or 2 percent, and increased $1.8 billion, or 4 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2010. Average C&I loans increased 4 percent sequentially and 13 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2010. Average commercial mortgage and commercial construction loan balances declined by a combined 3 percent sequentially and 13 percent from the same period the previous year, reflecting continued low customer demand and current underwriting standards. Commercial line usage, on an end of period basis, was 32 percent of committed lines in the fourth

5

quarter versus 33 percent in both the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010. The decline was primarily due to an increase in committed lines accompanied with relatively stable usage.

Average consumer portfolio loan and lease balances were up $537 million sequentially, or 2 percent, and increased $1.9 billion, or 6 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2010. Average residential mortgage loans increased 5 percent sequentially, reflecting stronger originations during the quarter as rates remained at historically low levels, as well as the continued retention of certain branch originated shorter-term fixed-rate residential mortgages which totaled $476 million on an end of period basis in the fourth quarter. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2010, average residential mortgage loans increased 25 percent and reflected the previously mentioned retention of mortgages. Average auto loans increased 2 percent sequentially and 8 percent year-over-year as loan origination volumes more than offset pay-downs. The growth outlined above was partially offset by lower home equity loan balances, which declined 2 percent sequentially and 7 percent year-over-year due to lower demand and production.

Average loans held-for-sale of $2.4 billion increased $971 million from third quarter levels primarily due to the high level of mortgage refinancing activity during the quarter. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2010, average loans held-for-sale decreased $548 million due to the effect of elevated mortgage refinancing activity in 2010 in the fourth quarter 2010 mortgage loan warehouse.

Average core deposits increased 3 percent sequentially and 5 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010, as transaction deposit growth was partially offset by continued runoff of other time deposits. Average transaction deposits, excluding other time deposits, increased 5 percent from the third quarter of 2011 primarily driven by higher demand deposit account (DDA) and interest checking balances. Year-over-year growth of 11 percent was driven by higher DDA, interest checking, savings, and money market account balances.

Retail average transaction deposits increased 3 percent sequentially and reflected higher DDA, interest checking, and money market account balances. Growth of 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010 reflected higher balances across all transaction deposit account categories. Consumer CDs included in core

6

deposits declined 17 percent sequentially and 42 percent year-over-year, driven by maturities of higher-rate CDs and customer reluctance to purchase longer CD maturities given the current low rate environment.

Commercial average transaction deposits increased 9 percent sequentially and 11 percent from the previous year driven by higher average account balances. Sequential growth reflected seasonally higher inflows to DDAs and interest checking during the quarter, partially offset by lower money market account balances. Year-over-year growth also reflected higher inflows to DDAs and interest checking, partially offset by lower foreign office deposits and money market account balances. Average public funds balances were $5.4 billion compared with $5.4 billion in the third quarter of 2011 and $5.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010.

NM: Not Meaningful

Noninterest income of $550 million decreased $115 million sequentially, or 17 percent, and declined $106 million, or 16 percent, compared with year ago results. The sequential decline was primarily driven by lower mortgage banking net revenue, the impact of new debit interchange regulation on interchange revenue, lower net securities gains, and the effect of valuation adjustments on the Visa total return swap.

Fourth quarter 2011 noninterest income results included a $54 million charge related to the increase in fair value of the liability related to the total return swap entered into as part of the 2009 sale of Visa, Inc. Class B shares; this compares with a $17 million charge in the third quarter of 2011 and a $5 million charge in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 results also included a $10 million positive valuation adjustment on warrants and puts related to the 2009 sale of a 51 percent interest in our processing business, compared with $3 million in positive valuation adjustments on these instruments in both the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding these items, as well as investment securities gains in all periods, noninterest income decreased $64 million, or 10 percent, from the previous quarter. On a year-over-year basis, noninterest income, excluding the items mentioned above, decreased $48 million, or 8 percent, primarily due to lower debit interchange revenue and mortgage banking revenue.

Service charges on deposits of $136 million increased 1 percent from the third quarter and decreased 3 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Retail service charges were flat sequentially. Compared

7

with the fourth quarter of 2010, retail service charges declined 7 percent largely due to the implementation of new overdraft regulations and overdraft policies. Commercial service charges increased 2 percent sequentially due to reductions in earnings credit rates and account growth and were consistent with results from a year ago.

Corporate banking revenue of $82 million decreased 5 percent from the third quarter of 2011 and decreased 20 percent from the same period last year. The sequential decline was primarily driven by lower foreign exchange, interest rate derivative, and lease related fees. The year-over-year decline was driven by these factors as well as strong syndication fees and institutional sales revenue results in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Mortgage banking net revenue was $156 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, a 12 percent decrease from the third quarter of 2011 and a 5 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 originations were $7.1 billion, compared with $4.5 billion in the previous quarter and $7.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 originations resulted in gains of $152 million on mortgages sold compared with gains of $119 million during the previous quarter and $158 million during the fourth quarter of 2010. Mortgage servicing fees this quarter were $58 million, compared with $59 million in both the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010. Mortgage banking net revenue is also affected by net servicing asset value adjustments, which include mortgage servicing rights (MSR) amortization and MSR valuation adjustments (including mark-to-market adjustments on free-standing derivatives used to economically hedge the MSR portfolio). These net servicing asset valuation adjustments were negative $54 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (reflecting MSR amortization of $47 million and MSR valuation adjustments of negative $7 million); net zero in the third quarter of 2011 (MSR amortization of $34 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $34 million); and negative $67 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 (MSR amortization of $47 million and MSR valuation adjustments of negative $20 million). The mortgage-servicing asset, net of the valuation reserve, was $681 million at year end on a servicing portfolio of $57 billion.

Net losses on securities held as non-qualifying hedges for the MSR portfolio were $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with net gains of $6 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $14 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Investment advisory revenue of $90 million decreased 2 percent sequentially and 3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010. Sequential and year-over-year declines were driven by lower securities and brokerage revenue, institutional trust fees, and mutual fund fees largely due to fluctuations in equity and bond markets, partially offset by higher private client service revenue due to increased production.

Card and processing revenue was $60 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of 24 percent sequentially and 26 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential and year-over-year declines were

8

driven by the approximately $30 million impact of the recently enacted debit interchange legislation, partially offset by increased transaction volumes and initial mitigation activity.

Other noninterest income totaled $24 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $64 million in the previous quarter and $55 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Other noninterest income includes changes in income related to the valuation of the total return swap entered into as part of the 2009 sale of Visa, Inc. Class B shares, revenue from our equity interest in the processing business, and effects of the valuation of warrants and puts related to the processing business sale. For periods ending December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, reductions in income related to the Visa, Inc. total return swap were $54 million, $17 million, and $5 million, respectively; revenue from our processing business equity interest was $25 million, $17 million, and $8 million, respectively; and warrant/put valuation adjustments were a benefit of $10 million, $3 million, and $3 million, respectively. Excluding these items, other noninterest income decreased $18 million from the previous quarter and $6 million from the fourth quarter of 2010.

Net credit-related costs recognized in other noninterest income were $33 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 versus $25 million last quarter and $34 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 results included $9 million of net gains on sales of commercial loans held-for-sale and $18 million of fair value charges on commercial loans held-for-sale, as well as $22 million of losses on other real estate owned (OREO). Third quarter 2011 results included $3 million of net gains on sales of commercial loans held-for-sale and $6 million of fair value charges on commercial loans held-for-sale, as well as $21 million of losses on OREO. Fourth quarter 2010 results included net losses of $21 million on the sale of loans held-for-sale, $35 million of fair value charges on commercial loans held-for-sale, and $19 million of losses on OREO.

Net gains on investment securities were $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with investment securities gains of $26 million in the previous quarter and $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Noninterest expense of $993 million increased 5 percent from the third quarter of 2011 and increased 1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 expenses included a $14 million addition to litigation reserves related to bankcard association membership and $5 million in other litigation reserve additions. Third quarter 2011 expenses included $28 million of costs related to the termination of certain

9

FHLB borrowings and hedging transactions. Fourth quarter 2010 included $17 million of expenses related to the termination of $1 billion in FHLB funding. Excluding these items, noninterest expense increased 6 percent from the third quarter of 2011 and was flat compared with the fourth quarter of 2010, driven by higher compensation and benefits expense, with the former driven by higher loan volume fulfillment costs and incentives, particularly mortgage, as well as the effect of a higher stock price on long term equity awards, and the latter driven by $6 million of annual pension settlement expense.

Credit costs related to problem assets recorded as noninterest expense totaled $44 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $45 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $52 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter credit-related expenses included provisioning for mortgage repurchases of $18 million, compared with $19 million in the third quarter and $20 million a year ago. (Realized mortgage repurchase losses were $17 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $31 million last quarter and $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.) Provision for unfunded commitments was a benefit of $6 million in the current quarter, compared with a benefit of $10 million last quarter and a benefit of $4 million a year ago. Derivative valuation adjustments related to customer credit risk were a positive $5 million this quarter versus $4 million in expense last quarter and positive $1 million a year ago. OREO expense was $8 million this quarter, compared with $7 million last quarter and $11 million a year ago. Other problem asset-related expenses were $28 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $25 million the previous quarter and $27 million in the same period last year.

(a) Nonaccrual loans and leases at December 31, 2010 reflect a reclassification of $84 million in nonperforming loans from commercial and industrial loans to other consumer loans and leases which occurred after the Bancorp's Form 8-K was filed on January 19, 2011. This reclassification was primarily a result of the determination that consumer loans obtained in the foreclosure of a commercial loan were more appropriately categorized as other consumer loans and leases in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

(b) Excludes government insured advances.

(c) Does not include nonaccrual loans held-for-sale.

Total nonperforming assets, including loans held-for-sale, were $2.0 billion, a decline of $187 million, or 9 percent, from the previous quarter. Nonperforming assets held-for-investment (NPAs) at year end were $1.8 billion or 2.23 percent of total loans, leases and OREO, and decreased $128 million, or 7 percent, from the previous quarter. Nonperforming loans held-for-investment (NPLs) at year end were $1.4 billion or 1.76 percent of total loans, leases and OREO, and decreased $100 million or 7 percent from the third quarter.

Commercial portfolio NPAs at year end were $1.3 billion, or 2.92 percent of commercial loans, leases and OREO, and decreased $136 million, or 9 percent, from the third quarter. Commercial portfolio NPLs were $1.1 billion, or 2.31 percent of commercial loans and leases, and decreased $96 million from last quarter. Commercial construction portfolio NPAs were $179 million, a decline of $58 million from the previous quarter. Commercial mortgage portfolio NPAs were $637 million, up $7 million from the prior quarter. Commercial real estate loans in Michigan and Florida represented 46 percent of commercial real estate NPAs and 38 percent of our total commercial real estate portfolio. C&I portfolio NPAs of $509 million decreased $79 million from the previous quarter. Within the overall commercial loan portfolio, residential real estate builder and developer portfolio NPAs of $155 million declined $52 million from the third quarter, of which $53 million were commercial construction assets, $88 million were commercial mortgage assets and $14 million were C&I assets. Commercial portfolio NPAs included $160 million of nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), compared with $189 million last quarter.

12

Consumer portfolio NPAs of $478 million, or 1.34 percent of consumer loans, leases and OREO, increased $8 million from the third quarter. Consumer portfolio NPLs were $379 million, or 1.06 percent of consumer loans and leases, and decreased $4 million from last quarter. Of consumer NPAs, $416 million were in residential real estate portfolios. Residential mortgage NPAs were $350 million, $13 million higher than last quarter, with Florida representing 45 percent of residential mortgage NPAs and 16 percent of total residential mortgage loans. Home equity NPAs of $66 million were down $4 million compared with last quarter. Credit card NPAs increased $2 million from the previous quarter to $48 million. Other consumer NPAs were $1 million. Consumer nonaccrual TDRs were $220 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $215 million in the third quarter.

Fourth quarter OREO balances included in portfolio NPA balances described above were $364 million, down $25 million from $389 million in the third quarter, and included $277 million in commercial OREO and $87 million in consumer OREO. Repossessed personal property of $14 million consisted largely of autos.

Loans still accruing over 90 days past due were $200 million, down $74 million, or 27 percent, from the third quarter of 2011. Commercial balances 90 days past due of $8 million decreased $55 million sequentially. Consumer balances 90 days past due of $192 million were down $19 million from the previous quarter. Loans 30-89 days past due of $452 million decreased $22 million, or 5 percent, from the previous quarter. Commercial balances 30-89 days past due of $98 million were down $37 million sequentially and consumer balances 30-89 days past due of $354 million increased $15 million from the third quarter.

At year-end, we held $138 million of commercial nonaccrual loans for sale, compared with $197 million at the end of the third quarter. During the quarter we sold approximately $31 million of non-accrual held-for-sale loans; we transferred approximately $3 million of non-accrual commercial loans from the portfolio to loans held-for-sale, and we transferred approximately $5 million of loans from loans held-for-sale to OREO. We recorded negative valuation adjustments of $18 million on held-for-sale loans and we recorded net gains of $8 million on loans that were sold or settled during the quarter.

(a) The tangible equity, tangible common equity, tier I common equity and tangible book value per share ratios, while not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), are considered to be critical metrics with which to analyze banks. The ratios have been included herein to facilitate a greater understanding of the Bancorp’s capital structure and financial condition. See the Regulation G Non-GAAP Reconciliation table for a reconciliation of these ratios to U.S. GAAP.

(b) Under the banking agencies risk-based capital guidelines, assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. The resulting weighted values are added together resulting in the Bancorp’s total risk weighted assets.

(c) Current period regulatory capital data ratios are estimated.

Capital ratios remained strong during the quarter and reflected the effect of growth in retained earnings as well as in assets. Compared with the prior quarter, the Tier 1 common equity ratio* increased 1 bp to 9.34 percent. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* was 8.68 percent (excluding unrealized gains/losses) and 9.04 percent (including unrealized gains/losses). The Tier 1 capital ratio decreased 5 bps to 11.91 percent and the Total capital ratio decreased 17 bps to 16.08 percent; and the Leverage ratio increased 2 bps to 11.10 percent. In addition to the effect of retained earnings and asset growth, the Tier 1, Total, and Leverage capital ratios also reflected the redemption of $25 million in TruPS during the quarter;

Book value per share at December 31, 2011 was $13.92 and tangible book value per share* was $11.25, compared with September 30, 2011 book value per share of $13.73 and tangible book value per share* of $11.05.

The Basel Committee has proposed new capital rules for Internationally Active banks, known as “Basel III.” Fifth Third is subject to U.S. bank regulations for capital, which have not yet been issued in response to the Basel proposals. Fifth Third’s capital levels exceed current U.S. “well-capitalized” standards and proposed Basel III capital standards, and we expect Fifth Third’s capital levels to continue to exceed U.S. “well-capitalized” standards including the adoption of U.S. rules that incorporate changes contemplated under Basel III and/or the Dodd-Frank Act.

* Non-GAAP measure; See Reg. G reconciliation on page 33

14

Fifth Third’s Tier 1 and Total capital levels at December 31, 2011 included $2.2 billion of TruPS, or 2.1 percent of risk weighted assets. During the quarter, the Bancorp redeemed at par $25 million of its TruPS. Under the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation, these TruPS are intended to be phased out of Tier 1 capital over three years beginning in 2013. The Basel Committee also issued proposals that would include a phase-out of these securities, although over a longer period. We will continue to evaluate the role of these types of securities in our capital structure, based on regulatory developments. To the extent these types of securities remain outstanding during and after the phase-in period, they would be expected to continue to be included in Total capital, subject to prevailing U.S. capital standards. The Basel Committee has also proposed adjustments to definitions of capital, including what is to be included in the definition of Tier 1 common, and to risk weightings applied to certain types of assets. We do not currently expect these proposed adjustments, if adopted into U.S. banking regulations, to negatively affect Fifth Third’s Tier 1 common capital levels and for any potentially positive effect to be modest.

Fifth Third is one of 31 large U.S. Bank Holding Companies (BHCs) subject to the Federal Reserve’s (FRB) Capital Plans Rule which was issued November 22, 2011. Under this rule, we are required to submit our annual capital plan to the Federal Reserve, for its objection or non-objection. Fifth Third submitted its capital plan on January 9, 2012, as required. The submitted plans included an evaluation of results under four required macroeconomic scenarios: a baseline and stress scenario determined by the firms, and a baseline and stress scenario provided by the Federal Reserve. As required, the plan also included those capital actions Fifth Third intends to pursue or contemplate during the period covered by the FRB’s response, which is 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. Our plan for the covered period included the possibility that we would increase our common dividend and would initiate common share repurchases, although any such actions would be based on the FRB’s non-objection, environmental conditions, earnings results, our capital position, and other factors, as well as approval by the Fifth Third Board of Directors, at the time. The Federal Reserve has indicated to the BHCs that it will issue its response on or before March 15, 2012. We expect to manage our capital structure over time – including the components represented by common equity and non-common equity – to adapt to and reflect the effect of legislation, changes in U.S. bank capital regulations that reflect international capital rules developments, regulatory expectations, and our goals for capital levels and capital composition as appropriate given any changes in rules.

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

(b) Under the banking agencies’ risk-based capital guidelines, assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. The resulting weighted values are added together resulting in the Bancorp’s total risk weighted assets.
