Lehman Brothers 2005 Financial Services Conference   

September 2005

This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the
merger between SunTrust Banks, Inc. (“SunTrust”) and National Commerce Financial Corporation (“NCF”),
including future financial and operating results, SunTrust’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and
other statements that are not historical facts.  Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and
expectations of SunTrust’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.  Actual results
may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  The following factors, among others, could
cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the risk that the cost
savings and any revenue synergies from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize
than expected; disruption from the merger making it more difficult to maintain relationships with clients,
employees or suppliers; increased competition and its effects on pricing, spending, third-party relationships
and revenues; the risk of new and changing regulation in the U.S. and internationally.  Additional factors that
could cause SunTrust’s results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements
can be found SunTrust’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and
10-Q/A of SunTrust and NCF filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s internet site (http://www.sec.gov).  The forward-looking statements
in this presentation speak only as of the date of the filing, and SunTrust does not assume any obligation to
update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those
contained in the forward-looking statements.

This presentation includes some non-GAAP measures to describe SunTrust’s performance.  The
reconciliation of those measures to GAAP measures can be found in in the appendix of this presentation, as
well as in SunTrust’s earnings press release, which can be found on SunTrust’s website in the news section
of the investor relations pages.

Company believes total revenue without securities gains/losses and without the net gain on sale of RCM assets is more indicative of the

(1)  SunTrust presents a return on average assets less net unrealized gains on
     securities. The foregoing numbers reflect primarily adjustments to remove
     the effects of the Company's securities portfolio which includes the
     ownership by the Company of 48.3 million shares of The Coca-Cola Company.
     The Company uses this information internally to gauge its actual
     performance in the industry. The Company believes that the return on
     average assets less the net unrealized securities gains is more indicative
     of the Company's return on assets because it more accurately reflects the
     return on the assets that are related to the Company's core businesses
     which are primarily customer relationship and customer transaction driven.
     The return on average assets less net unrealized gains on securities is
     computed by dividing annualized net income, excluding securities
     gains/losses and The Coca-Cola Company dividend, by average assets less net
     unrealized securities gains.

(2)  The Company also believes that the return on average realized equity is
     more indicative of the Company's return on equity because the excluded
     equity relates primarily to a long term holding of a specific security. The
     return on average realized shareholders' equity is computed by dividing
     annualized net income, excluding securities gains/losses and The Coca-Cola
     Company dividend, by average realized shareholders' equity.

(3)  SunTrust presents total noninterest income and total revenue excluding
     realized securities gains and losses and the net gain on the sale of RCM
     assets. The Company believes total noninterest income and total revenue
     without securities gains and losses is more indicative of the Company's
     performance because it isolates income that is primarily customer
     relationship and customer transaction driven. SunTrust further excludes the
     net gain on the sale of RCM assets because the Company believes the
     exclusion of the net gain is more indicative of normalized operations.

(4)  Multiply by 4 to calculate sequential annualized growth or reductions
     discussed in the earnings call.

(1)  SunTrust presents selected financial data on an operating basis that
     excludes merger charges, which represent incremental costs to integrate
     NCF's operations. The Company also presents selected financial data on an
     adjusted operating basis, which further excludes the net gain related to
     the sale of RCM assets. The Company believes the exclusion of these two
     measures is more reflective of normalized operations.

(2)  Computed by dividing annualized operating net income by average total
     assets.

(3)  Computed by dividing annualized operating net income by average total
     shareholders' equity.

(1)  Multiply percentage change by 4 to calculate sequential annualized change.
     Any sequential annualized change over 100 percent is labeled as "NM". Those
     changes over 100 percent were not considered to be meaningful.

(2)  Includes service charges on deposits, card and other charges and fees.

(3)  Includes retail investment services, investment banking income and trading
     account profits and commissions.

(4)  SunTrust presents noninterest income before securities (losses)/gains and
     the net gain on the sale of RCM assets. The Company believes noninterest
     income before securities gains and losses is more indicative of the
     Company's performance because it isolates income that is primarily customer
     relationship and customer transaction driven. SunTrust further excludes the
     net gain on the sale of RCM assets because the Company believes the
     exclusion of the net gain provides better comparability and is more
     indicative of normalized operations.

(5)  The Company presents noninterest expense before amortization of intangible
     assets and merger expense. The Company believes the exclusion of these
     measures provides better comparability and is more reflective of normalized
     operations.

(6)  SunTrust's average nonaccrual and restructured loans are included in the
     respective categories to conform to the NCF presentation.

(7)  Includes consumer direct and consumer indirect loans.

(8)  See Appendix C for the impact of the estimated reclassification adjustments
     resulting from the April 22, 2005 NCF systems conversion.

(1)  Includes service charges on deposits, card and other charges and fees.

(2)  Includes retail investment services, investment banking income and trading
     account profits and commissions.

(3)  SunTrust presents noninterest income before securities (losses)/gains and
     the net gain on the sale of RCM assets. The Company believes noninterest
     income before securities gains and losses is more indicative of the
     Company's performance because it isolates income that is primarily customer
     relationship and customer transaction driven. SunTrust further excludes the
     net gain on the sale of RCM assets because the Company believes the
     exclusion of the net gain provides better comparability and is more
     indicative of normalized operations.

(4)  The Company presents noninterest expense before amortization of intangible
     assets and merger expense. The Company believes the exclusion of these
     measures provides better comparability and is more reflective of normalized
     operations.

(5)  NCF's FTE adjustments were reduced $4.4 million and $9.1 million from the
     second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively, to conform to
     SunTrust's methodology.

(6)  SunTrust's average nonaccrual and restructured loans are included in the
     respective categories to conform to the NCF presentation.

(7)  Includes consumer direct and consumer indirect loans.

(1)  As a result of the NCF systems conversion on April 22, 2005, SunTrust
     presents consolidated average balances on an adjusted basis for both loans
     and deposits. The Company believes these adjusted measures provide a better
     comparison between reporting periods and are more indicative of true loan
     and deposit fluctuations. The adjustments represent reclassifications due
     to account mapping changes resulting from the systems conversion.

(2)  Multiply percentage change by 4 to calculate sequential annualized change.
     Any sequential annualized change over 100 percent is labeled as "NM". Those
     changes over 100 percent were not considered to be meaningful.

     excludes merger charges. The Company believes the exclusion of the merger
     charges, which represent incremental costs to integrate NCF's operations,
     is more reflective of normalized operations.
(4)  Computed by dividing annualized operating net income by average total
     assets.
(5)  Computed by dividing annualized operating net income by average total
     shareholders' equity.
