Taxable equivalent NII of $999 million in the first quarter of 2018 increased $36 million, or 4 percent, from the prior quarter. The prior quarter’s results were negatively impacted by a $27 million leveraged lease remeasurement. Excluding the impact of the remeasurement, taxable equivalent NII in the first quarter of 2018 was up $9 million, or 1 percent, from the prior quarter, reflecting higher short-term market rates, partially offset by a lower day count. Taxable equivalent NIM of 3.18 percent in the first quarter of 2018 increased 16 bps from the prior quarter. Excluding the lease remeasurement, taxable equivalent NIM increased 8 bps from the prior quarter’s adjusted NIM, primarily driven by higher short-term market rates and a lower day count.

Compared to the first quarter of 2017, taxable equivalent NII increased $60 million, or 6 percent, from the first quarter of 2017. The first quarter of 2017 results were positively impacted by a $12 million reversal of a previously-estimated charge for refunds to certain bankcard customers. Excluding the card remediation impact, taxable equivalent NII in the first quarter of 2018 was up $72 million, or 8 percent, from the first quarter of 2017, reflecting higher short-term rates and an increase in investment portfolio balances. Taxable equivalent NIM increased 16 bps from the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by higher short-term market rates, partially offset by the aforementioned card remediation impact. Excluding this impact, the taxable equivalent NIM increased 20 bps from the first quarter of 2017.

Securities

Average securities and other short-term investments were $34.7 billion in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $33.8 billion in the previous quarter and $33.2 billion in the first quarter of 2017.

Noninterest income excluding certain items(b)	$	553	$	587	$	536		(6%)		3%

Excluding the items in the table above, noninterest income of $553 million decreased 6 percent from the previous quarter and increased 3 percent from the first quarter of 2017. The sequential performance was impacted by $44 million in revenue recognized from Worldpay related to the tax receivable agreement (TRA) and a $25 million lease remarketing impairment recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year performance was impacted by a $31 million lease remarketing impairment recognized in the first quarter of 2017. Excluding these impacts, adjusted noninterest income decreased 3 percent sequentially and decreased 2 percent year-over-year, primarily due to lower equity method income resulting from Worldpay acquisition and integration costs.

Corporate banking revenue of $88 million was up 14 percent sequentially and up 19 percent year-over-year. The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily driven by an increase in M&A advisory fees, as well as the aforementioned lease remarketing impairments recognized both in the fourth quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of the lease impairments, corporate banking revenue decreased 14 percent sequentially and decreased 16 percent year-over-year, primarily driven by lower loan syndication fees and business lending fees.

Mortgage banking net revenue was $56 million in the first quarter of 2018, up 4 percent from the fourth quarter of 2017 and up 8 percent from the first quarter of 2017. The sequential increase was driven by a lower negative impact from net valuation adjustments, partially offset by lower origination fees and gains on loan sales. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher gross mortgage servicing fees, partially offset by lower origination fees and gains on loan sales. Originations of $1.6 billion in the current quarter decreased 18 percent sequentially and decreased 19 percent from the first quarter of 2017.

Wealth and asset management revenue of $113 million increased 7 percent from the fourth quarter of 2017 and increased 5 percent from the first quarter of 2017. The sequential increase was primarily driven by seasonally strong tax-related private client service revenue. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher personal asset management revenue.

Card and processing revenue of $79 million in the first quarter of 2018 decreased 1 percent sequentially and increased 7 percent year-over-year. The sequential decrease reflected seasonally lower credit card spend volume compared with the fourth quarter, largely offset by lower rewards costs. The year-over-year increase reflected higher credit spend volume and an increase in actively used cards.

Other noninterest income totaled $460 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared with $123 million in the previous quarter, and $77 million in the first quarter of 2017. As disclosed in the table on page 7, the reported results included the impact of the Worldpay step-up gain, valuation of the Visa total return swap, and the branch impairment charge. For the first quarter of 2018, excluding these items, other noninterest income of $93 million decreased $41 million, or 31 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2017 and increased $3 million, or 3 percent, from the first quarter of 2017. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the $44 million gain from the TRA in the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in private equity investment income.

Net losses on investment securities were $11 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared with a net gain of $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and no net gains/losses in the first quarter of 2017. Net losses on securities held as non-qualifying hedges for the MSR portfolio were $13 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Noninterest expense of $1.046 billion decreased $27 million, or 3 percent, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017, and increased $60 million, or 6 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2017. Excluding the $8 million litigation reserve charge discussed on page 1, as well as the items related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, noninterest expense increased $63 million, or 6 percent. The sequential increase primarily reflected seasonally higher compensation-related expenses, as well as an increase in the amortization of affordable housing investments primarily resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher base compensation and technology and communications expense.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP measures, management considers various Non-GAAP measures when evaluating the performance of the business, including: “taxable equivalent net interest income,” “adjusted taxable equivalent net interest income,” “taxable equivalent net interest margin,” “adjusted taxable equivalent net interest margin,” “adjusted yield on interest-earning assets,” “efficiency ratio,” “taxable equivalent net interest rate spread,” “taxable equivalent income before income taxes,” “noninterest income excluding certain items,” “tangible net income available to common shareholders,” “average tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity ratio,” “tangible common equity ratio (excluding unrealized gains/ losses)” “tangible common equity ratio (including unrealized gains/ losses)” “tangible equity,” “tangible book value per share,” and certain ratios derived from these measures.

The taxable equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and securities held by the Bancorp that are not taxable for federal income tax purposes. The Bancorp believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

Noninterest income excluding certain items is provided by management to assist the reader in identifying significant, unusual, or large transactions that impacted noninterest income. Adjusted taxable equivalent net interest income and adjusted taxable equivalent net interest margin are provided by management to assist the reader in identifying significant, unusual, or large transactions that impacted net interest income.

Management considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity and tangible common equity (including and excluding unrealized gains/losses), in addition to capital ratios defined by the U.S. banking agencies. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by the U.S. banking agencies for both absolute and comparative purposes. These ratios are not formally defined by U.S. GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations and, therefore, are considered to be Non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that providing the tangible common equity ratio excluding unrealized gains/losses on certain assets and liabilities enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity without the effects of gains or losses some of which are uncertain and providing the tangible common equity ratio including unrealized gains/losses enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity if all unrealized gains or losses were to be monetized.

Management believes tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity are important measures for evaluating the performance of a business as it calculates the return available to common shareholders and book value of common stock without the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization. This is useful for evaluating the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or developed internally, compared to other companies in the industry who present similar measures.

Please note that although Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures.

Please see page 29 for Reg. G reconciliations of all historical Non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Fifth Third Bancorp 1Q18 Earnings Presentation April 24, 2018 Refer to earnings release dated April 24, 2018 for further information. Exhibit 99.2

Cautionary statement This presentation 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,” “potential,” “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, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. 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. We undertake no obligation to release revisions to these forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. 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) deteriorating credit quality; (2) loan concentration by location or industry of borrowers or collateral; (3) problems encountered by other financial institutions; (4) inadequate sources of funding or liquidity; (5) unfavorable actions of rating agencies; (6) inability to maintain or grow deposits; (7) limitations on the ability to receive dividends from subsidiaries; (8) cyber-security risks; (9) Fifth Third’s ability to secure confidential information and deliver products and services through the use of computer systems and telecommunications networks; (10) failures by third-party service providers; (11) inability to manage strategic initiatives and/or organizational changes; (12) inability to implement technology system enhancements; (13) failure of internal controls and other risk management systems; (14) losses related to fraud, theft or violence; (15) inability to attract and retain skilled personnel; (16) adverse impacts of government regulation; (17) governmental or regulatory changes or other actions; (18) failures to meet applicable capital requirements; (19) regulatory objections to Fifth Third’s capital plan; (20) regulation of Fifth Third’s derivatives activities; (21) regulatory objections to Fifth Third’s resolution plan; (22) deposit insurance premiums; (23) assessments for the orderly liquidation fund; (24) changes in LIBOR; (25) weakness in the national or local economies; (26) global political and economic uncertainty or negative actions; (27) changes in interest rates; (28) changes and trends in capital markets; (29) fluctuation of Fifth Third’s stock price; (30) volatility in mortgage banking revenue; (31) litigation, investigations, and enforcement proceedings by governmental authorities; (32) breaches of contractual covenants, representations and warranties; (33) competition and changes in the financial services industry; (34) changing retail distribution strategies, customer preferences and behavior; (35) difficulties in identifying, acquiring or integrating suitable strategic partnerships, investments or acquisitions; (36) potential dilution from future acquisitions; (37) loss of income and/or difficulties encountered in the sale and separation of businesses, investments or other assets; (38) results of Vantiv Holding, LLC, a subsidiary of Worldpay, Inc. or other investments or acquired entities; (39) difficulties from or changes in Fifth Third’s investment in, relationship with, and nature of the operations of Vantiv Holding, LLC, a subsidiary of Worldpay, Inc.; (40) changes in accounting standards or interpretation or declines in the value of Fifth Third’s goodwill or other intangible assets; (41) inaccuracies or other failures from the use of models; (42) effects of critical accounting policies and judgments or the use of inaccurate estimates; (43) weather related events or other natural disasters; and (44) the impact of reputational risk created by these or other 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. In this presentation, we may sometimes provide non-GAAP financial information. Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight to analysts, investors and regulators, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures. If applicable, we provide GAAP reconciliations for non-GAAP measures in a later slide in this presentation which is also available in the investor relations section of our website, www.53.com. Management does not provide a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Bancorp's control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Bancorp's management is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures. We provide a discussion of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in later slides in this presentation as well as on pages 28 and 29 of our earnings release.
