BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - January 20, 2015 - Regions Financial Corporation (NYSE: RF) today announced earnings for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014. For the fourth quarter, the company reported net income available to common shareholders of $195 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.14. For the full year 2014, Regions reported net income available to common shareholders of $1.1 billion and earnings per diluted share of $0.80, an increase of 4 percent over 2013.






Solid earnings for 2014 as loans increased 4 percent
Regions full year results reflect steady progress in growing customer relationships despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. The company continues to generate sustainable long-term growth by focusing on the fundamentals of banking, meeting customer needs through service and innovation while maintaining a prudent and disciplined risk strategy.

The fourth quarter rounded out a solid year in which we grew loans, increased deposit balances, and improved asset quality and capital ratios, said Grayson Hall, chairman, president and CEO. As we execute our strategy to deepen relationships with customers and improve efficiencies across our business, we are well-positioned for continued progress in 2015.

Total ending loan balances increased $3 billion or 4 percent for the full year. Notably, both the
business(3) and consumer lending portfolios increased. Business lending(3) increased 5 percent led by commercial and industrial loans, which grew by 11 percent. This was primarily driven by growth in specialized lending, asset based lending and geographically broad-based corporate lending. Consumer loans increased 2 percent from the previous year, led by indirect auto lending, which increased 18 percent.

Total ending deposits increased $2 billion or 2 percent during 2014, while Regions deposit costs reached historical lows at 11 basis points. Through the Regions360SM approach to relationship banking, the company experienced an increase in the number of quality households and total checking accounts during the year. Further, full year net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased 1 percent and the resulting net interest margin improved 1 basis point.

The company remained focused on achieving operational efficiencies and reduced total adjusted expenses(2) on a full year basis by 2 percent. Regions also continued to strengthen overall asset quality and reduced credit-related costs throughout the year as adjusted net charge-offs(2) decreased 46 percent and non-performing loans declined 23 percent. Moreover, the company received positive rating actions from four major credit rating agencies that cited improvement in the companys risk profile.
����
During 2014, Regions returned approximately $500 million in capital as the company increased the quarterly dividend from $0.03 to $0.05 and repurchased 26 million shares of common stock amounting to $256 million. The companys liquidity position was solid as the loan to deposit ratio was 82 percent at year-end.






Fourth quarter results reflect solid loan growth
Total loan balances were $77 billion at the end of the quarter, an increase of $700 million or 1 percent from the previous quarter. Importantly, this growth was broad-based among product lines as total new and renewed production increased 14 percent from the third quarter. The business lending portfolio(3) totaled $48 billion at the end of the quarter, an increase of $524 million, or 1 percent, as production increased 18 percent. Commercial and industrial loans increased $875 million or 3 percent and investor real estate remained flat. Line utilization increased 40 basis points to 45.3 percent and commitments for new loans increased 3 percent from the previous quarter.

The consumer lending portfolio totaled $29 billion at the end of the quarter, an increase of 1 percent over the prior quarter. Indirect auto lending continued to demonstrate consistent growth as balances increased $99 million or 3 percent from the previous quarter. In addition, credit card balances increased 5 percent as spend volume and active card users increased 6 and 3 percent, respectively.

Deposit balances increased aided by checking account growth
Deposit balances increased during the quarter aided by checking account growth, which was broad-based throughout the company's markets. Total deposit ending balances were $94 billion, an increase of $70 million over the prior quarter. Regions continues to improve the mix of deposits as low-cost deposits increased $242 million in the quarter, while higher-cost certificates of deposit declined $172 million. Low-cost deposits as a percent of average deposits were 91 percent at the end of the quarter. Deposit costs remained at historical lows and were 11 basis points in the fourth quarter while total funding costs were 29 basis points.

Net interest income relatively stable despite declining interest rates
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $837 million during the fourth quarter. Despite a continuation of the low rate environment exerting pressure on asset yields, net interest income remained relatively stable due largely to a higher balance of average loans. The resulting net interest margin was 3.17 percent, a decline of 1 basis point from the previous quarter.

Non-interest income and expenses impacted by unusual items





Non-interest income totaled $448 million in the fourth quarter. Revenue was pressured, as mortgage fees declined primarily due to lower gains from loan sales and the decline in the market valuation of the mortgage servicing portfolio net of hedging activity. Service charges declined $14 million primarily driven by an $8 million reserve for customer reimbursements, as well as a $4 million reduction of fees resulting from a product discontinuation during the fourth quarter. Additionally, capital markets revenue declined $4 million, but was offset by increases in card and ATM fees and wealth management income.

Total non-interest expenses were $969 million, an increase of $143 million from the previous quarter. However, the third quarter included benefits from recovery of expenses related to unfunded commitment reserves of $24 million, which were partially offset by expenses related to Visa� of $7 million.

As previously announced, the company intends to consolidate approximately 50 offices during 2015 and incurred $10 million of related expenses during the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, the company recorded an accrual of $100 million for contingent legal and regulatory items related to previously disclosed matters.

Maintaining solid asset quality
Regions maintained solid asset quality and risk discipline in the fourth quarter. Net charge-offs were $83 million, representing 0.42 percent of average loans. The provision for loan losses was $8 million, and the resulting allowance for loan and lease losses totaled 1.43 percent of total loans outstanding at the end of the quarter.

Non-performing loans (excluding loans held for sale) declined to $829 million, or 1 percent from the prior quarter. In addition, total delinquencies declined 11 percent, troubled debt restructured loans declined 6 percent, and both criticized and classified loans declined from the prior quarter.

Strong capital and solid liquidity
Regions capital position remains strong as the Tier 1 ratio was estimated at 12.5* percent at quarter-end. In addition, the Tier 1 Common ratio(2) was estimated at 11.6 percent* and the Common Equity Tier 1 Basel III ratio(2) was estimated at 11.1 percent*. During the fourth quarter the company





repurchased $248 million of common stock pursuant to its previously disclosed $350 million share repurchase program.

The companys liquidity position remained solid, as the loan to deposit ratio at the end of the quarter was 82 percent. The company remains well positioned as it relates to the final liquidity coverage ratio rule recently released by the joint supervisory committee and expects to be fully compliant by the January 2016 deadline.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures

Regions' management uses the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) and the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP) to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. The computation of the adjusted efficiency ratio includes certain adjustments to non-interest expense (GAAP) to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted fee income ratio. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the adjusted fee income and adjusted efficiency ratios. Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the company on the same basis as that applied by management.
Tangible common stockholders equity ratios have become a focus of some investors and management believes they may assist investors in analyzing the capital position of the company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Traditionally, the Federal Reserve and other banking regulatory bodies have assessed a banks capital adequacy based on Tier 1 capital, the calculation of which is codified in federal banking regulations. In connection with the companys Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review process, these regulators supplement their assessment of the capital adequacy of a bank based on a variation of Tier 1 capital, known as Tier 1 common equity. While not prescribed in amount by federal banking regulations, under Basel I, analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions capital adequacy using the tangible common stockholders equity and/or the Tier 1 common equity measure. Because tangible common stockholders equity and Tier 1 common equity are not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in amount by the federal banking regulations, under Basel I, these measures are currently considered to be non-GAAP financial measures and other entities may calculate them differently than Regions disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions capital adequacy using tangible common stockholders equity and Tier 1 common equity, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions capital adequacy on these same bases.
Tier 1 common equity is often expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the risk-based capital framework, a companys balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of four broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk-weighted category. The resulting weighted values from each of the four categories are added together, and this sum is the risk-weighted assets total that, as adjusted, comprises the denominator of certain risk-based capital ratios. Tier 1 capital is then divided by this denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the Tier 1 capital ratio. Adjustments are made to Tier 1 capital to arrive at Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP). Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP) is also divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common equity ratio (non-GAAP). The amounts disclosed as risk-weighted assets are calculated consistent with banking regulatory requirements.
In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel Committee) released its final framework for Basel III, which will strengthen international capital and liquidity regulation. In June 2012, U.S. Regulators released three separate Notices of Proposed Rulemaking covering U.S. implementation of the Basel III framework. In July 2013, U.S. Regulators released final rules covering the U.S. implementation of the Basel III framework, which will change capital requirements and place greater emphasis on common equity. For Regions, the Basel III framework will be phased in beginning in 2015 with full implementation complete beginning in 2019. The calculations provided are estimates, based on Regions current understanding of the final framework, including the companys interpretation of the requirements, and informal feedback received through





the regulatory process. Regions understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as analysis and discussions with regulators continue. Because the Basel III implementation regulations are not formally defined by GAAP, these measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures, and other entities may calculate them differently from Regions disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions capital adequacy on the same basis.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of earnings that excludes selected items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders.
Management and the Board of Directors utilize non-GAAP measures as follows:
"Preparation of Regions' operating budgets
"Monthly financial performance reporting
"Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results (management only)
"Presentation to investors of company performance

See page 14 of the supplement to this earnings release for the reconciliation of select annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans ratios (GAAP) to select adjusted annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans ratios (non-GAAP). See pages 18-20 of the supplement to this earnings release for 1) a reconciliation of average and ending stockholders equity (GAAP) to average and ending tangible common stockholders equity (non-GAAP), 2) computation of return on average tangible common stockholders equity (non-GAAP), 3) computation of Basel III common equity Tier1 (non-GAAP) 4) a reconciliation of total assets (GAAP) to tangible assets (non-GAAP), 5) computation of tangible common stockholders equity (non-GAAP) to tangible assets (non-GAAP) and tangible common book value per share (non-GAAP), 6) a reconciliation of stockholders equity (GAAP) to Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP), 7) computation of Tier 1 common and Basel III common equity Tier1 risk-based ratios (non-GAAP), 8) a reconciliation of non-interest expense (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP),9) a reconciliation of non-interest income (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), and 10) a computation of the adjusted efficiency and fee income ratios (non-GAAP).

Regions Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries��������������������������������
Financial Supplement to Fourth Quarter 2014 Earnings Release

Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Income ("PPI") and Adjusted PPI (non-GAAP)
The Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Income table below presents computations of pre-tax pre-provision income from continuing operations excluding certain adjustments (non-GAAP). Regions believes that the presentation of PPI and the exclusion of certain items to PPI provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of income that excludes certain adjustments does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders.

Due to the timing of the second quarter 2014 preferred stock issuance, preferred dividends in the third quarter of 2014 reflect a longer coupon period. Total third quarter 2014 preferred dividends were approximately $4 million higher than the amount expected for future quarterly coupon periods based on the current amount of preferred stock outstanding.
(2)
The majority of net leveraged lease termination gains reported during each period are offset by related income taxes.
(3)
Regions recorded $100 million of contingent legal and regulatory accruals during the fourth quarter of 2014 related to previously disclosed matters.
(4)
Regions recorded a non-tax deductible regulatory charge of $58 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 related to previously disclosed inquiries from government authorities. These matters were settled in the second quarter of 2014 for $7 million less than originally estimated.

See page 17 for detail of restructured loans.
(3)
Includes $151 million in residential first mortgage net charge-offs on loans transferred to loans held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2013. Excluding these net charge-offs, the adjusted net charge-off percentage for residential first mortgages for the fourth quarter of 2013 would have been 0.41% (non-GAAP). Excluding these net charge-offs, the adjusted net charge-off percentage for total consumer loans for the fourth quarter of 2013 would have been 0.93% (non-GAAP). The adjusted net charge-off percentage for all loans would have been 0.67% (non-GAAP). See page 14 for a reconciliation of these GAAP to non-GAAP net charge-off ratios.

Adjusted Net Charge-Offs and Ratios (non-GAAP)

Select calculations for annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (GAAP) are presented in the table below. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Regions made the strategic decision to transfer certain primarily accruing restructured residential first mortgage loans to loans held for sale. These loans were marked down to fair value through net charge-offs upon transfer to held for sale. Management believes that excluding the incremental increase to net charge-offs from the affected net charge-off ratios to arrive at an adjusted net charge-off ratio (non-GAAP) will assist investors in analyzing the Company's credit quality performance as well as provide a better basis from which to predict future performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

The balance of Regions' home equity portfolio was $10,932 million at December 31, 2014 consisting of $8,466 million of home equity lines of credit and $2,466 million of closed-end home equity loans. The home equity lines of credit presented in the table above are based on maturity date for lines with a balloon payment and draw period expiration date for lines that convert to a repayment period. The closed-end loans were primarily originated as amortizing loans, and were therefore excluded from the table above.

Reconciliation to GAAP Financial MeasuresContinuing Operations
Adjusted Efficiency Ratios, Adjusted Fee Income Ratios, and Adjusted Non-Interest Income/Expense
The table below presents computations of the efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), which is a measure of productivity, generally calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue. The table also shows the fee income ratio (non-GAAP), generally calculated as non-interest income divided by total revenue. Management uses these ratios to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the fee income ratio. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the fee income and efficiency ratios. Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management.

Financial Supplement to Fourth Quarter 2014 Earnings Release

Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures
Return Ratios, Tangible Common Ratios, Capital
The following tables provide calculations of return on average tangible common stockholders equity, end of period tangible common stockholders equity ratios and a reconciliation of stockholders equity (GAAP) to tangible common stockholders equity (non-GAAP), Tier 1 capital (regulatory) and Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP). Tangible common stockholders equity ratios have become a focus of some investors and management believes they may assist investors in analyzing the capital position of the Company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Traditionally, the Federal Reserve and other banking regulatory bodies have assessed a banks capital adequacy based on Tier 1 capital, the calculation of which is prescribed in amount by federal banking regulations. In connection with the Companys Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), these regulators are supplementing their assessment of the capital adequacy of a bank based on a variation of Tier 1 capital, known as Tier 1 common equity. While not prescribed in amount by federal banking regulations (under Basel I), analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions capital adequacy using the tangible common stockholders equity and/or the Tier 1 common equity measures. Because tangible common stockholders and Tier 1 common equity are not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in any amount by federal banking regulations (under Basel I), these measures are currently considered to be non-GAAP financial measures and other entities may calculate them differently than Regions disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions capital adequacy using tangible common stockholders equity and Tier 1 common equity, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions capital adequacy on these same bases.
Tier 1 common equity is often expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the risk-based capital framework, a companys balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of four broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk-weighted category. The resulting weighted values from each of the four categories are added together and this sum is the risk-weighted assets total that, as adjusted, comprises the denominator of certain risk-based capital ratios. Tier 1 capital is then divided by this denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the Tier 1 capital ratio. Adjustments are made to Tier 1 capital to arrive at Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP). Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP) is also divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common equity ratio (non-GAAP). The amounts disclosed as risk-weighted assets are calculated consistent with banking regulatory requirements.

The following tables also provide calculations of "Common equity Tier 1" (CET1), based on Regions current understanding of the Final Basel III requirements. In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel Committee) released its final framework for Basel III, which will strengthen international capital and liquidity regulation. In June 2012, U.S. Regulators released three separate Notices of Proposed Rulemaking covering U.S. implementation of the Basel III framework. In July 2013, U.S. Regulators released final rules covering the U.S. implementation of the Basel III framework, which will change capital requirements and place greater emphasis on common equity. For Regions, the Basel III framework will be phased in beginning in 2015 with full implementation complete beginning in 2019. The calculations provided below are estimates, based on Regions current understanding of the final framework, including the Companys interpretation of the requirements, and informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Regions understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as analysis and discussions with regulators continue. Because the Basel III implementation regulations are not formally defined by GAAP, these measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures, and other entities may calculate them differently from Regions disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions capital adequacy on the same basis.

Non-GAAP reconciliation: Non-interest expense The table below presents non-interest expense (GAAP) excluding certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP). Regions believes that the exclusion of these adjustments provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Company and predicting future performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is also used by management to assess the performance of Regions business. It is possible that the activities related to the adjustments may recur; however, management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. 13 Quarter Ended ($ amounts in millions) 12/31/2014 9/30/2014 6/30/2014 3/31/2014 12/31/2013 4Q14 vs. 3Q14 4Q14 vs. 4Q13 Non-interest expense (GAAP) $ 969 $ 826 $ 820 $ 817 $ 946 $ 143 17.3 % $ 23 2.4 % Adjustments: Professional, legal and regulatory expenses(1)(2) (100 )  7  (58 ) (100 ) NM (42 ) 72.4 % Branch consolidation and property and equipment charges (10 )   (6 ) (5 ) (10 ) NM (5 ) 100.0 % Gain on sale of TDRs held for sale, net    35   NM  NM Adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP) $ 859 $ 826 $ 827 $ 846 $ 883 $ 33 4.0 % $ (24 ) (2.7 )% NM  Not Meaningful (1) Regions recorded $100 million of contingent legal and regulatory accruals during the fourth quarter of 2014 related to previously disclosed matters.

Non-GAAP reconciliation: Net charge-off ratio Select calculations for annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (GAAP) are presented in the table below. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Regions made the strategic decision to transfer certain primarily accruing restructured residential first mortgage loans to loans held for sale. These loans were marked down to fair value through net charge-offs upon transfer to held for sale. Management believes that excluding the incremental increase to net charge-offs from the affected net charge-off ratios to arrive at an adjusted net charge-off ratio (non-GAAP) will assist investors in analyzing the Company's credit quality performance as well as provide a better basis from which to predict future performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. *Annualized 14 As of and for Quarter Ended ($ amounts in millions) 12/31/2014 9/30/2014 6/30/2014 3/31/2014 12/31/2013 Residential first mortgage net charge-offs (GAAP) A $ 6 $ 6 $ 7 $ 9 $ 164 Less: Net charge-offs associated with transfer to loans held for sale     151 Adjusted residential first mortgage net charge-offs (non-GAAP) B $ 6 $ 6 $ 7 $ 9 $ 13 Total consumer net charge-offs (GAAP) C $ 52 $ 48 $ 41 $ 57 $ 219 Less: Net charge-offs associated with transfer to loans held for sale     151 Adjusted total consumer net charge-offs (non-GAAP) D $ 52 $ 48 $ 41 $ 57 $ 68 Total net charge-offs (GAAP) E $ 83 $ 75 $ 67 $ 82 $ 278 Less: Net charge-offs associated with transfer to loans held for sale     151 Adjusted net charge-offs (non-GAAP) F $ 83 $ 75 $ 67 $ 82 $ 127 Average residential first mortgage loans (GAAP) G $ 12,273 $ 12,212 $ 12,137 $ 12,127 $ 12,752 Add: Average balances of residential first mortgage loans transferred to loans held for sale     74 Adjusted average residential first mortgage loans (non-GAAP) H $ 12,273 $ 12,212 $ 12,137 $ 12,127 $ 12,826 Average total consumer loans (GAAP) I $ 28,996 $ 28,840 $ 28,687 $ 28,603 $ 29,147 Add: Average balances of residential first mortgage loans transferred to loans held for sale     74 Adjusted average total consumer loans (non-GAAP) J $ 28,996 $ 28,840 $ 28,687 $ 28,603 $ 29,221 Total average loans (GAAP) K $ 77,182 $ 76,279 $ 76,390 $ 75,139 $ 75,843 Add: Average balances of residential first mortgage loans transferred to loans held for sale     74 Adjusted total average loans (non-GAAP) L $ 77,182 $ 76,279 $ 76,390 $ 75,139 $ 75,917 Residential first mortgage net charge-off percentage (GAAP)* A/G 0.18 % 0.22 % 0.20 % 0.32 % 5.10 % Adjusted residential first mortgage net charge-off percentage (non-GAAP)* B/H 0.18 % 0.22 % 0.20 % 0.32 % 0.41 % Total consumer net charge-off percentage (GAAP)* C/I 0.70 % 0.67 % 0.57 % 0.81 % 2.98 % Adjusted total consumer net charge-off percentage (non-GAAP)* D/J 0.70 % 0.67 % 0.57 % 0.81 % 0.93 % Total net charge-off percentage (GAAP)* E/K 0.42 % 0.39 % 0.35 % 0.44 % 1.46 % Adjusted total net charge-off percentage (non-GAAP)* F/L 0.42 % 0.39 % 0.35 % 0.44 % 0.67 %


Non-GAAP reconciliation: Tier 1 common The following table provides calculations of Tier 1 capital (regulatory) and "Tier 1 common equity" (non-GAAP). Traditionally, the Federal Reserve and other banking regulatory bodies have assessed a bank's capital adequacy based on Tier 1 capital, the calculation of which is prescribed in amount by federal banking regulations. In connection with the Company's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review ("CCAR"), these regulators are supplementing their assessment of the capital adequacy of a bank based on a variation of Tier 1 capital, known as Tier 1 common equity. While not prescribed in amount by federal banking regulations (under Basel I), analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions' capital adequacy using the Tier 1 common equity measure. Because Tier 1 common equity is not formally defined by GAAP or prescribed in any amount by federal banking regulations (under Basel I), this measure is currently considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it differently than Regions' disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions' capital adequacy using Tier 1 common equity, management believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions' capital adequacy on this same basis. Tier 1 common equity is often expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the risk-based capital framework, a company's balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of four broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk-weighted category. The resulting weighted values from each of the four categories are added together and this sum is the risk-weighted assets total that, as adjusted, comprises the denominator of certain risk-based capital ratios. Tier 1 capital is then divided by this denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the Tier 1 capital ratio. Adjustments are made to Tier 1 capital to arrive at Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP). Tier 1 common equity (non-GAAP) is also divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common equity ratio (non-GAAP). The amounts disclosed as risk-weighted assets are calculated consistent with banking regulatory requirements.

Non-GAAP reconciliation: Basel III common equity Tier 1 The following table provides calculations of common equity Tier 1" (CET1) (non-GAAP), based on Regions current understanding of the Final Basel III requirements. In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel Committee) released its final framework for Basel III, which will strengthen international capital and liquidity regulation. In June 2012, U.S. Regulators released three separate Notices of Proposed Rulemaking covering U.S. implementation of the Basel III framework. In July 2013, U.S. Regulators released final rules covering the U.S. implementation of the Basel III framework, which will change capital requirements and place greater emphasis on common equity. For Regions, the Basel III framework will be phased in beginning in 2015 with full implementation complete beginning in 2019. The calculations provided below are estimates, based on Regions current understanding of the final framework, including the Companys interpretation of the requirements, and informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Regions understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as analysis and discussions with regulators continue. Because the Basel III implementation regulations are not formally defined by GAAP, these measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures, and other entities may calculate them differently from Regions disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions capital adequacy on the same basis. (1) Current quarter amounts and the resulting ratio are estimated. (2) Under Basel III, regulatory capital must be reduced by purchased credit card relationship intangible assets. These assets are partially allowed in Basel I capital. (3) Regions continues to develop systems and internal controls to precisely calculate risk-weighted assets as required by Basel III. The amount included above is a reasonable approximation, based on our understanding of the requirements. 16 As of and for Quarter Ended ($ amounts in millions) 12/31/2014 9/30/2014 6/30/2014 3/31/2014 12/31/2013 BASEL III COMMON EQUITY TIER 1 RATIO(1) Stockholder's equity (GAAP) $ 16,989 $ 17,160 $ 17,029 $ 16,132 $ 15,768 Non-qualifying goodwill and intangibles(2) (4,906 ) (4,918 ) (4,911 ) (4,923 ) (4,922 ) Adjustments, including all components of accumulated other comprehensive income, disallowed deferred tax assets, threshold deductions and other adjustments 116 36 (100 ) 61 130 Preferred stock (GAAP) (884 ) (900 ) (920 ) (442 ) (450 ) Basel III common equity Tier 1 (non-GAAP) A $ 11,315 $ 11,378 $ 11,098 $ 10,828 $ 10,526 Basel III risk-weighted assets (non-GAAP)(3) B $ 101,997 $ 101,390 $ 100,968 $ 100,566 $ 99,483 Basel III common equity Tier 1 ratio (non-GAAP) A/B 11.1 % 11.2 % 11.0 % 10.8 % 10.6 %
