MONTGOMERY, AL. - The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. Chairman, CEO and President, Robert E. Lowder, announced today that the Company’s earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were a record $0.45 per diluted share. Net income for the quarter was a record $69 million compared to $66 million for the second quarter of 2007.

Colonial’s net interest income for the quarter increased 3% over the second quarter of 2007. The increase in net interest income was attributable to a 12% annualized increase in the

1

Company’s average earning assets and improved funding costs as a result of net interest income management strategies undertaken throughout the first nine months of 2007. The net interest margin was 3.65% for the quarter compared to 3.66% for the second quarter of 2007. “While there have been significant liquidity issues in the industry, fortunately Colonial’s liquidity position remains strong. Due to our high quality assets, solid core deposit base and diverse wholesale funding sources, we have not experienced funding challenges,” said Mr. Lowder.

Total deposits at September 30, 2007 were $16.9 billion, down slightly from $17.1 billion at June 30, 2007; however, period-end non-time deposits grew $104 million, or 4% annualized, from June 30, 2007.

“During the third quarter, Colonial experienced declining loan volumes which we expect will continue into the fourth quarter and beyond. However, even in times of slow to no loan growth, we remain committed to our core strategy of not sacrificing credit quality for the sake of growth,” said Mr. Lowder. At September 30, 2007, total loans were $15.2 billion, a 2% decline from June 30, 2007. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.18% of average loans for the first nine months of 2007 and were 0.27% for the third quarter of 2007 compared to 0.20% for the second quarter of 2007. Colonial’s nonperforming assets ratio at September 30, 2007 increased to 0.46% from 0.29% at June 30, 2007. The increase in nonperforming assets primarily resulted from the addition of four loan relationships totaling approximately $21 million in Florida and Georgia. The allowance for loan losses was 1.14% of total loans and represented 246% of nonperforming assets at September 30, 2007.

“Our relationship building and income diversification efforts are reflected in the 15% year-over-year increase in core noninterest income. We are extremely pleased to have marked improvement in retail banking fees and financial planning revenue,” said Mr. Lowder.

Core noninterest expense was $133.7 million in the current quarter which was a $4 million decrease from the second quarter. Strong expense management coupled with increased revenues resulted in an improved efficiency ratio of 53.29% in the current quarter compared to 56.20% for the second quarter of 2007.

The previously announced acquisition of Citrus & Chemical Bancorporation, Inc. (C&C) is progressing as anticipated and is expected to close in early December of 2007. C&C is located in deposit-rich Polk County, Florida and is expected to add strength to Colonial’s balance sheet. As of September 30, 2007, C&C had assets of $868 million, deposits of $689 million and loans of $527 million.

Mr. Lowder concluded, “Volatility in the financial services industry has been prevalent this year. While we cannot predict when or how current market conditions will change in the future, we do know that Colonial Bank has successfully experienced a variety of economic cycles during our 26 year history. What has been true for us over the years is equally true today and that is, we have a strong management team, we exhibit excellent expense controls and, most important in today’s environment, we have strict underwriting standards that serve us well as evidenced by our sound credit quality. As I said at the end of the second quarter, Colonial is not immune to current events, but our consistent record performance over time speaks for itself. Colonial is well positioned and we are approaching the future with confidence.”
