SunTrust Reports Fourth Quarter2012 Results

Noninterest Income and Expense Improvements Contributed to Core Earnings Growth

ATLANTA -- SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $350 million, or $0.65 per average common diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. This compares to earnings per share of $0.13 in the fourth quarter of last year and $1.98 per share in the prior quarter, which included $1.40 per share related to third quarter actions the Company announced to improve its risk profile and strengthen its balance sheet. For 2012, SunTrust earned $3.59 per share compared to $0.94 per share in 2011.

“Favorable performance trends continued, including strong noninterest income and lower expenses, marking another quarter of core earnings expansion,” said William H. Rogers, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of SunTrust Banks, Inc. “We concluded the year in an even stronger position, driving higher revenue and efficiency gains, while further improving our overall risk profile."

Fourth Quarter2012 Financial Highlights

Income Statement

• Continued favorable core performance trends helped drive net income available to common shareholders of $350 million, or $0.65 per average common diluted share.

• Reported revenue decreased $1.6 billion from the prior quarter due to the third quarter gain associated with the accelerated termination of the agreements regarding The Coca-Cola Company ("KO") common stock.

• Excluding securities gains, revenue increased $388 million from the prior quarter and $262 million from the prior year.

◦ Noninterest income increased $413 million from the prior quarter due to record investment banking income and a lower mortgage repurchase provision. These items, together with higher core mortgage production income, also drove the $310 million growth from the prior year.

◦ Net interest income decreased $25 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the previously announced loan sales, and the net interest margin declined 2 basis points. Net interest income decreased $48 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year due to lower earning asset yields.

• Noninterest expense decreased $216 million from the prior quarter, due to the third quarter write-down of affordable housing investments and the charitable contribution of KO shares to the SunTrust Foundation, as well as lower employee compensation and reduced credit-related expenses. Noninterest expense decreased $157 million from the fourth quarter of last year due to a decline in cyclically-high costs and the fourth quarter 2011 expense related to the potential national mortgage servicing settlement.

1

• Fourth quarter 2012 noninterest expense included a charge associated with the recent agreement in principle regarding the Independent Foreclosure Review.

• Current quarter results benefited from favorable discrete tax items.

Balance Sheet

• Average performing loans decreased $1.7 billion, or 1%, compared to the prior quarter primarily due to the sales of government guaranteed mortgage and student loans. Average performing loans increased $3.6 billion, or 3%, over the fourth quarter of last year, due to targeted growth, particularly in commercial and industrial loans.

• Average client deposits increased $2.6 billion, or 2%, from the prior quarter, and $2.8 billion, or 2%, from the fourth quarter of last year. The favorable shift in the deposit mix toward lower-cost demand deposits continued.

Capital

• Estimated capital ratios continue to be well above current regulatory requirements. The Tier 1 common equity ratio increased to an estimated 10.00%, up from 9.82% at the end of the prior quarter.

• In December, the Company issued $450 million of Series E preferred stock.

Asset Quality

• The overall risk profile of the balance sheet continued to improve. Nonperforming loans declined $184 million, or 11%, sequentially and were 1.27% of total loans as of year-end, compared to 1.42%last quarter and2.37% a year ago.

• During the quarter, the Company reclassified consumer and mortgage loans that were discharged as a result of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This resulted in a $232 million addition to nonperforming loans and $79 million in charge-offs and loan loss provision.

• Provision for credit losses and net charge-offs were essentially flat compared to the prior quarter, after adjusting for unusual items recognized in both quarters.

Consolidated Financial Performance Details

(Presented on a fully taxable-equivalent basis unless otherwise noted)

Revenue

Total revenue was $2.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of $1.6 billion compared to the prior quarter and a $244 million, or 12%, increase compared to the fourth quarter of last year. Excluding net securities gains, total revenue increased $388 million and $262 million compared to the prior quarter and fourth quarter of last year, respectively. The sequential quarter increase was primarily related to actions recognized in the prior quarter, which included a higher provision for mortgage repurchases and losses related to the transfer to held for sale of delinquent, government guaranteed student and mortgage loans. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to higher mortgage-related revenue and investment banking income.

For 2012, total revenue was $10.6 billion, up $2.0 billion from 2011. Excluding securities gains and losses, full year revenue was $8.6 billion, up $141 million compared to 2011. The increase was primarily driven by net interest income, mortgage-related revenue, and investment banking income, partially offset by a decline in card fees related to debit card interchange regulations that became effective in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $1,276 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $1,301 million for the prior quarter and $1,324 million for the fourth quarter of last year. The $25 million decline from the prior quarter was largely driven by the reduction in average loans, attributable to loan sales announced during the third quarter and completed in the current quarter. The $48 million decrease compared to the fourth quarter of last year was due to lower yields on earning assets, a decline in commercial loan-related swap income, and the foregone dividend income as a result of the accelerated termination of the agreements regarding the KO shares, partially offset by lower rates paid on deposits and a reduction in wholesale funding.

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 3.36%, a decline of 2 basis points from the prior quarter and a decline of 10 basis points from the fourth quarter of last year. On a sequential quarter basis, lower loan and investment securities yields resulted in an eight basis point decline in earning asset yields. This decline was partially offset by an eight basis point reduction in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities due to lower client deposit and long-term debt rates. Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, the decline in net interest margin was primarily due to a 37 basis point decline in loan yields, as a result of the continuation of the low interest rate environment and a decline of $40 million in commercial loan-related swap income. Declines in earning asset yields were partially offset by a 32 basis point decline in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily on time deposits and long-term debt.

For the year, net interest income was $5.2 billion, an increase of $46 million compared to 2011. The primary drivers of the increase in net interest income were growth in average loans, a favorable shift in the deposit mix, lower average long-term debt balances, and lower rates paid on deposits and wholesale borrowings, partially offset by lower earning asset yields. Net interest margin was 3.40% in 2012 compared to 3.50% in 2011. The decline in net interest margin was due to lower yields on loans and investment securities, partially offset by lower rates paid on deposits and wholesale borrowings.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $1,015 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $2,542 million for the prior quarter and $723 million for the fourth quarter of last year. The $1.5 billion decrease from the prior quarter was driven by a $1.9 billion decline in securities gains, due to the accelerated termination of the agreements regarding the KO stock, partially offset by a lower mortgage repurchase provision, higher investment banking income, and lower losses related to the transfer to held for sale of certain delinquent, government guaranteed student and mortgage loans. The increase from the fourth quarter of last year was primarily due to higher mortgage-related and investment banking revenue.

3

Mortgage production income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $241 million compared to a loss of $64 million for the prior quarter and a loss of $62 million for the fourth quarter of last year. The $305 million sequential quarter increase was driven by a $359 million decline in the mortgage repurchase provision, partially offset by declines in loan production and margins. As of December 31, 2012, the reserve for mortgage repurchases totaled $632 million, a decrease of $62 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage repurchase demands declined 5% compared to the prior quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, mortgage production income increased $303 million, due to the $203 million decrease in the mortgage repurchase provision and higher loan production and margins in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Mortgage servicing income was $45 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $64 million for the prior quarter and $22 million for the fourth quarter of last year. The $19 million sequential quarter decline was due to less favorable net hedge performance. The $23 million increase from the prior year was due to a $38 million HARP 2.0-related mortgage servicing rights write-down recognized in the prior year, partially offset by lower servicing fees in the current quarter due to a smaller servicing portfolio. As of December 31, 2012, the servicing portfolio was $145 billion compared to $158 billion at December 31, 2011.

Investment banking income was a record $112 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $83 million for the prior quarter and $87 million for the fourth quarter of last year. The increase compared to prior quarters was due to higher syndicated finance and bond origination fee income.

Trading income was $65 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $19 million for the prior quarter and $77 million for the fourth quarter of last year. Core trading income was essentially stable across these quarterly periods. The $46 million sequential quarter increase was primarily attributable to a $24 million reduction in mark-to-market losses on the Company's fair value debt and index-linked CDs and a reduction in trading-related litigation reserves. The $12 million decline in trading income compared to the fourth quarter of last year was largely driven by mark-to-market losses of $23 million on the Company's fair value debt and index-linked CDs compared to gains of $17 million in the fourth quarter of last year, as well as lower valuation gains in the current quarter related to illiquid securities, partially offset by the aforementioned reduction in litigation reserves.

Other noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $18 million compared to a loss of $31 million in the prior quarter and income of $39 million in the fourth quarter of last year. The $49 million increase from the prior quarter was due to lower losses from loan sales. During the fourth quarter, the Company recognized $25 million of net losses, primarily related to additional sales of Ginnie Mae loans, as compared to $92 million in losses during the prior quarter. The $21 million decline in other noninterest income from the fourth quarter of last year was primarily due to the current quarter losses associated with the aforementioned sale of loans.

For the year, noninterest income was $5.4 billion compared to $3.4 billion in 2011. The $2.0 billion increase was primarily driven by higher securities gains and increased mortgage-related income, partially offset by lower card fees and losses from the loan sales described above.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $1,510 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $1,726 million for the prior quarter and $1,667 million for the fourth quarter of last year. The sequential quarter decrease of $216 million was primarily due to expenses recognized in the third quarter, including the loss related to the expected sale of affordable housing investments, the charitable contribution of the KO shares to the SunTrust Foundation, and severance expense. Also contributing to the decline was lower employee compensation and benefits in the current quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, the $157 million noninterest expense decline was due to lower operating losses, including an accrual for a potential national mortgage servicing settlement recognized last year, as well as decreases in credit-related expenses. This was partially offset by higher personnel expenses.

Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased $42 million on a sequential quarter basis, primarily due to a reduction in contract labor costs, lower salaries attributable to a reduction of over 1,200 full-time equivalent employees during the quarter, and lower incentive compensation associated with the third quarter accelerated vesting of certain benefits due to organizational changes. Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, the $114 million increase in employee compensation and benefits expense was due in part to the fourth quarter of 2011 gain of $60 million

recognized in connection with the curtailment of the Company's defined benefit pension plans, net of a discretionary 401(k) contribution. Incentive compensation was also higher in 2012, as the fourth quarter of 2011 included a year-end reduction to incentive pools, and 2012 business performance was improved. These increases were partially offset by lower salaries due to the reduction of over 2,400 full-time equivalent employees sinceDecember 31, 2011.

Operating losses increased $6 million compared to the prior quarter and decreased $139 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year. During the fourth quarter, SunTrust and nine other mortgage servicing companies entered into an agreement in principle with the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regarding the Independent Foreclosure Review. SunTrust's cash portion of the settlement was $63 million; $32 million was recognized as an operating loss during the current quarter, and $31 million had been accrued previously. The Company's portion of the settlement also includes providing $100 million in relief to borrowers. No accrual has been made for this portion of the settlement, as it is expected to substantially be covered via the Company's allowance for loan losses and other activities. The decrease in operating losses from the fourth quarter of last year primarily relates to the recognition of a $120 million liability related to the potential national mortgage servicing settlement established during the prior year, as well as lower mortgage servicing-related compensatory fees in the current quarter.

Other noninterest expense decreased $141 million from the prior quarter and $127 million from the fourth quarter of last year. The sequential quarter decline was primarily due to the third quarter $96 million loss related to the affordable housing investments and the third quarter $29 million severance expense. Additionally, credit-related expenses, which are comprised of other real estate expenses and credit and collection costs, declined $30 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to lower OREO losses. The decline from the prior year was primarily due to a $95 million reduction in credit-related expenses, as well as lower severance expense.

FDIC premiums and regulatory assessments decreased $13 million on a sequential quarter basis and declined $14 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year due to fluctuations in the Company's assessment rate. Outside processing and software increased $12 million on a sequential quarter basis and $14 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year, largely due to increased outsourced processing services. Amortization of intangible assets decreased $10 million on a sequential quarter basis primarily due to goodwill impairment associated with a wealth management business recognized in the prior quarter.

For the year, noninterest expense was $6.3 billion compared to $6.2 billion in 2011. The $89 million, or 1%, increase was primarily due to employee compensation and benefits expense and the affordable housing write-down, partially offset by lower credit-related expenses and the impact of the 2011 accrual for the potential national mortgage servicing settlement.

Income Taxes

For the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $62 million compared to $551 million for the prior quarter and an income tax benefit of $57 million in the fourth quarter of last year. The effective tax rate was 15% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 34% in the prior quarter. The decline in the effective tax rate from the prior quarter was primarily due to lower pre-tax earnings and the favorable impact in the fourth quarter associated with certain discrete tax items.

U.S. Treasury Preferred Dividends

The Company paid dividends to the U.S. Treasury on its $4.85 billion of TARP preferred securities through the first quarter of 2011. The Company redeemed these shares at the end of the first quarter of 2011 and, therefore, did not pay such dividends during 2012 or the last three quarters of 2011. The year endedDecember 31, 2011 included $66 million of preferred dividends paid to the U.S. Treasury and a $74 million, or $0.14 per common share, non-cash charge related to the unamortized discount that was recognized upon the redemption of the TARP preferred shares.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of $173.4 billion and shareholders’ equity of $21.0 billion, representing 12% of total assets. Both book value and tangible book value per common share increased modestly compared to September 30, 2012, and were $37.59 and $25.98, respectively.

Loans

During the current quarter, the remaining sales of the loans announced as part of the Company's third quarter strategic actions were completed. This included the sale of $2.0 billion of student loans ($1.4 billion of which was classified as loans held for sale at the end of the third quarter and $0.6 billion of which was classified as loans held for investment), as well as the sale of $450 million of Ginnie Mae loans (which were classified as loans held for sale at the end of the third quarter). Additionally, the Company elected to sell an incremental approximate $175 million of Ginnie Mae loans, as well as $160 million in nonperforming mortgage and CRE loans. These loan sales resulted in average loans for the fourth quarter of 2012 declining to $121.6 billion from $124.1 billion during the prior quarter. This $2.5 billion, or 2%, decline was partially offset by increases in commercial and industrial and consumer indirect loans.

Average loans increased $2.1 billion, or 2%, over the fourth quarter of last year. Growth was primarily driven by commercial and industrial loans, which increased $4.2 billion, or 9%, as well as high credit-quality nonguaranteed residential loans and indirect loans that increased by $1.1 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases were declines in commercial real estate, home equity loans, government guaranteed residential and student loans, and nonaccrual loans.

Securities Available for Sale

As of December 31, 2012, the Company's securities available for sale portfolio was $22.0 billion, an increase of $0.5 billion from September 30, 2012, and a decrease of $6.2 billion from December 31, 2011. The decline from the prior year related to the KO transaction and reduced holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities. For the fourth quarter of 2012, the yield on the securities portfolio declined 10 basis points sequentially to 2.68% and declined 46 basis points from the fourth quarter of last year. Approximately 29 basis points of the decline from the fourth quarter of last year was due to the forgone dividend income associated with the KO transaction.

Deposits

Average consumer and commercial deposits for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $127.9 billion compared to $125.4 billion and $125.1 billion for the prior quarter and fourth quarter of last year, respectively. The favorable shift in the deposit mix toward lower-cost accounts continued during the quarter, with a $1.6 billion, or 4%, increase in demand deposits, a $0.8 billion, or 3%, increase in interest bearing transaction accounts, and a $0.9 billion, or 2%, increase in money market accounts. These increases, a portion of which were likely due to year-end seasonality, were partially offset by a $0.8 billion, or 5%, decline in time deposits.

Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, average consumer and commercial deposits increased $2.8 billion, or 2%. Average demand deposits increased $5.4 billion, or 16%, interest bearing transaction accounts increased $0.6 billion, or 2%, and savings accounts increased $0.6 billion, or 12%. The increases were partially offset by a decline of $3.3 billion, or 18%, in time deposits and $0.4 billion, or 1%, in money market accounts.

Capital and Liquidity

The Company’s estimated capital ratios are well above current regulatory requirements with Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 common ratios increasing to an estimated 11.10% and 10.00%, respectively, at year-end. The ratios of total average equity to total average assets and tangible equity to tangible assets were 11.82% and 8.82%, respectively, as of December 31, 2012, each increasing from the prior quarter and fourth quarter of last year. The Company continues to have substantial available liquidity provided in the form of its client deposit base and other available funding resources, as well as its portfolio of high-quality government-backed securities and cash.

6

During December 2012, the Company issued 4,500 shares, or $450 million, of Series E Preferred Stock. The stock has no par value, a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, and pays dividends quarterly, if and when declared, at an annual rate of 5.875%. Dividends may not be declared or paid on SunTrust common stock in any quarter that dividends have not been paid or declared and funds set aside for the Series E preferred stock. Additionally, dividends are noncumulative, and the Company has the ability to redeem the shares in whole or in part beginning on March 15, 2018.

Asset Quality

Asset quality continued to improve during the quarter, with declines in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans totaled $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2012, down $184 million, or 11%, relative to the prior quarter. Commercial loans were the primary driver of the decline. During the current quarter, the Company reclassified mortgage and consumer loans that were discharged as a result of Chapter 7 bankruptcy, resulting in a $232 million increase to nonperforming loans. Although the vast majority of the post-Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans are current, these loans were moved to nonperforming in order to align the Company's accounting with others in the industry who adopted this treatment in the third quarter as result of guidance issued by the OCC. As previously noted, approximately $160 million of nonperforming mortgage and CRE loans were sold during the quarter.

Compared to December 31, 2011, nonperforming loans declined $1.4 billion, or 47%, with reductions across all loan categories, most significantly in residential mortgages, commercial construction, and commercial real estate. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, the percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans was 1.27%, down from 1.42% and 2.37% at the end of the prior quarter and the fourth quarter of last year, respectively. Other real estate owned totaled $264 million at the end of the current quarter, down 13% on a sequential quarter basis and down 45% since December 31, 2011.     

Net charge-offs were $398 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $511 million for the prior quarter and $472 million for the fourth quarter of last year. The current quarter charge-offs included $79 million related to the discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans and $39 million associated with the aforementioned nonperforming loan sales. Third quarter net charge-offs included $172 million related to nonperforming loan sales and $65 million related to a junior lien credit policy change. Excluding the impacts of nonperforming loan sales and policy changes from both quarters, net charge-offs were relatively stable between the third and fourth quarters. The decline in net charge-offs from the prior year was primarily driven by commercial loans, partially offset by the items noted above.

The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to total average loans was 1.30% for the current quarter, 1.64% in the prior quarter, and 1.57% in the fourth quarter of last year. Charge-offs resulting from the sales of nonperforming loans and credit policy changes in the current and prior quarters added 38 basis points and 76 basis points, respectively, to the ratio. The provision for credit losses was $328 million, a decrease of $122 million from the prior quarter and stable compared to the fourth quarter of last year. The aforementioned nonperforming loan sales and credit policy changes increased the provision in both the third and fourth quarters.

As of December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $2.2 billion and represented 1.80% of total loans, down four basis points from September 30, 2012. Excluding government guaranteed loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.95% of total loans. The $65 million decline in the allowance for loan losses during the fourth quarter of 2012 reflects the continued improvement in asset quality.

Early stage delinquencies decreased two basis points from the end of the prior quarter to 0.93% at December 31, 2012. The decline was primarily due to residential mortgages. Excluding government-guaranteed loans, early stage delinquencies were 0.48%, a decrease of five basis points from September 30, 2012.

Accruing restructured loans totaled $2.5 billion, and nonaccruing restructured loans totaled $0.6 billion as of December 31, 2012. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy policy change resulted in nonaccruing restructured loans increasing from $0.5 billion at the end of the prior quarter. $2.8 billion of restructured loans related to residential loans, $0.2 billion were commercial loans, and $0.1 billion related to consumer loans.

SunTrust also reports results for Corporate Other, which includes the Treasury department as well as the residual expense associated with operational and support expense allocations. The Corporate Other segment also includes differences created between internal management accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), certain matched-maturity funds transfer pricing credits and charges, differences in provision for loan losses compared to net charge-offs, as well as equity and its related impact. A detailed discussion of the line of business results will be included in the Company’s forthcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K.

¹ Certain amounts in this schedule are presented net of applicable income taxes, which are calculated based on each subsidiary’s federal and state tax rates and laws. In general, the federal marginal tax rate is 35%, but the state marginal tax rates range from 1% to 8% in accordance with the subsidiary’s income tax filing requirements with various tax authorities. In addition, the effective tax rate may differ from the federal and state marginal tax rates in certain cases where a permanent difference exists.

² Computed by dividing noninterest expense by total revenue - FTE. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

³ SunTrust presents a tangible efficiency ratio which excludes the amortization of intangible assets other than MSRs. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by removing the effect of these intangible asset costs (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s efficiency to other companies in the industry. This measure is utilized by management to assess the efficiency of the Company and its lines of business.

⁴ SunTrust presents a tangible equity to tangible assets ratio that excludes the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible assets. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. This measure is used by management to analyze capital adequacy.

⁵ SunTrust presents a tangible book value per common share that excludes the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible assets and also excludes preferred stock from tangible equity. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity as well as preferred stock (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s book value on common stock to other companies in the industry.

⁶ SunTrust presents total revenue - FTE excluding net securities gains. The Company believes noninterest income without net securities gains is more indicative of the Company’s performance because it isolates income that is primarily client relationship and client transaction driven and is more indicative of normalized operations.

⁷ SunTrust presents a ratio of allowance to total loans, excluding government guaranteed and fair value loans, to exclude loans from the calculation that are held at fair value with no related allowance and loans guaranteed by a government agency that do not have an associated allowance recorded due to nominal risk of principal loss.

4Q 2012 Earnings Release January 18, 2013

2 Important Cautionary Statement The following should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and other information contained in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures to describe SunTrust’s performance. The reconciliations of those measures to GAAP measures are provided within or in the appendix of this presentation. In this presentation, the Company presents net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis, and ratios on an annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts. This presentation may contain forward-looking statements. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “targets,” “initiatives,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.” Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on such statements. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward- looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and in other periodic reports that we file with the SEC. Those factors include: as one of the largest lenders in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S. and a provider of financial products and services to consumers and businesses across the U.S., our financial results have been, and may continue to be, materially affected by general economic conditions, particularly unemployment levels and home prices in the U.S., and a deterioration of economic conditions or of the financial markets may materially adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and condition; legislation and regulation, including the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as future legislation and/or regulation, could require us to change certain of our business practices, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us or otherwise adversely affect our business operations and/or competitive position; we are subject to capital adequacy and liquidity guidelines and, if we fail to meet these guidelines, our financial condition would be adversely affected; loss of customer deposits and market illiquidity could increase our funding costs; we rely on the mortgage secondary market and GSEs for some of our liquidity; we are subject to credit risk; our ALLL may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses; we may have more credit risk and higher credit losses to the extent our loans are concentrated by loan type, industry segment, borrower type, or location of the borrower or collateral; we will realize future losses if the proceeds we receive upon liquidation of nonperforming assets are less than the carrying value of such assets; a downgrade in the U.S. government's sovereign credit rating, or in the credit ratings of instruments issued, insured or guaranteed by related institutions, agencies or instrumentalities, could result in risks to us and general economic conditions that we are not able to predict; the failure of the European Union to stabilize the fiscal condition and creditworthiness of its weaker member economies, such as Greece, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, Ireland, and Italy, could have international implications potentially impacting global financial institutions, the financial markets, and the economic recovery underway in the U.S.; weakness in the real estate market, including the secondary residential mortgage loan markets, has adversely affected us and may continue to adversely affect us; we are subject to certain risks related to originating and selling mortgages, and may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify mortgage loan purchasers as a result of breaches of representations and warranties, borrower fraud, or as a result of certain breaches of our servicing agreements, and this could harm our liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition; financial difficulties or credit downgrades of mortgage and bond insurers may adversely affect our servicing and investment portfolios; we may be terminated as a servicer or master servicer, be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or reimburse investors for credit losses on a mortgage loan, or incur costs, liabilities, fines and other sanctions if we fail to satisfy our servicing obligations, including our obligations with respect to mortgage loan foreclosure actions; we are subject to risks related to delays in the foreclosure process; we may continue to suffer increased losses in our loan portfolio despite enhancement of our underwriting policies and practices; our mortgage production and servicing revenue can be volatile; as a financial services company, adverse changes in general business or economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations; changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity; changes in interest rates could also reduce the value of our MSRs and mortgages held for sale, reducing our earnings; the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on our earnings; depressed market values for our stock may require us to write down goodwill; clients could pursue alternatives to bank deposits, causing us to lose a relatively inexpensive source of funding; consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions, which could affect net income; we have businesses other than banking which subject us to a variety of risks; hurricanes and other disasters may adversely affect loan portfolios and operations and increase the cost of doing business; negative public opinion could damage our reputation and adversely impact business and revenues; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks, could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses; we rely on other companies to provide key components of our business infrastructure; the soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us; we depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about clients and counterparties; regulation by federal and state agencies could adversely affect the business, revenue, and profit margins; competition in the financial services industry is intense and could result in losing business or margin declines; maintaining or increasing market share depends on market acceptance and regulatory approval of new products and services; we might not pay dividends on your common stock; our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends; disruptions in our ability to access global capital markets may adversely affect our capital resources and liquidity; any reduction in our credit rating could increase the cost of our funding from the capital markets; we have in the past and may in the future pursue acquisitions, which could affect costs and from which we may not be able to realize anticipated benefits; we are subject to certain litigation, and our expenses related to this litigation may adversely affect our results; we may incur fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations, possibly even from inadvertent or unintentional violations; we depend on the expertise of key personnel, and if these individuals leave or change their roles without effective replacements, operations may suffer; we may not be able to hire or retain additional qualified personnel and recruiting and compensation costs may increase as a result of turnover, both of which may increase costs and reduce profitability and may adversely impact our ability to implement our business strategies; our accounting policies and processes are critical to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they require management to make estimates about matters that are uncertain; changes in our accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial results and condition; our stock price can be volatile; our framework for managing risks may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to us; our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud; our financial instruments carried at fair value expose us to certain market risks; our revenues derived from our investment securities may be volatile and subject to a variety of risks; and we may enter into transactions with off-balance sheet affiliates or our subsidiaries.

The Tier 1 common equity ratio is a financial measure that is used by regulators, bank management, and investors to assess the capital position of financial services companies. The Tier 1 ratio as calculated for Basel III under the recent notice of proposed rule making is considered non-GAAP, and as such we have presented a reconciliation to the Tier 1 common equity ratio under Basel I that is currently used by regulators. All figures are estimated at the time of the earnings release and subject to revision 2. Primarily relates to the impacts of unrealized AFS gains and accrued pension liabilities 3. The proposed Basel III calculations of Tier 1 common equity, risk-weighted assets, and the Tier 1 common ratio are based upon the Company's interpretation of the notice of proposed rule making issued by the Federal Reserve in June 2012. The final Basel III ruling by the Federal Reserve is subject to potential changes from the proposed rulemaking, as is the Company's interpretation of the rules 4. The largest differences between the risk-weighted assets as calculated under Basel I and the Basel III proposal for SunTrust relate to the risk-weightings for mortgage, home equity, and CRE loans NOTE: Totals may not foot due to rounding
