FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
presentation
may
include
forward-looking
statements
which
reflect
Regions’
current
views
with
respect
to
future
events
and
financial
performance.
The
Private
Securities
Litigation
Reform
Act
of
1995
(“the
Act”)
provides
a
“safe
harbor”
for
forward-looking
statements
which
are
identified
as
such
and
are
accompanied
by
the
identification
of
important
factors
that
could
cause
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
the
forward-
looking
statements.
For
these
statements,
we,
together
with
our
subsidiaries,
claim
the
protection
afforded
by
the
safe
harbor
in
the
Act.
Forward-looking
statements
are
not
based
on
historical
information,
but
rather
are
related
to
future
operations,
strategies,
financial
results
or
other
developments.
Forward-looking
statements
are
based
on
management’s
expectations
as
well
as
certain
assumptions
and
estimates
made
by,
and
information
available
to,
management
at
the
time
the
statements
are
made.
Those
statements
are
based
on
general
assumptions
and
are
subject
to
various
risks,
uncertainties
and
other
factors
that
may
cause
actual
results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements.  These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described below:
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”)became law on July 21, 2010, and a number of legislative, regulatory and tax proposals remain pending. Additionally, the
U.S.
Treasury
and
federal
banking
regulators
continue
to
implement,
but
are
also
beginning
to
wind
down,
a
number
of
programs
to
address
capital
and
liquidity
in
the
banking
system.
Proposed
rules,
including
those that are part of the Basel III process, could require banking institutions to increase levels of capital. All of the foregoing may have significant effects on Regions and the financial services industry, the
exact nature of which cannot be determined at this time.
Regions'
ability
to
mitigate
the
impact
of
the
Dodd-Frank
Act
on
debit
interchange
fees
through
revenue
enhancements
and
other
revenue
measures,
which
will
depend
on
various
factors,
including
the
acceptance by our customers of modified fee structures for Regions' products and services.
The impact of compensation and other restrictions imposed under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) until Regions repays the outstanding preferred stock and warrant issued under the TARP, including
restrictions
on
Regions’
ability
to
attract
and
retain
talented
executives
and
associates.
Possible additional loan losses, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, and adjustment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and the impact on earnings and capital.
Possible changes in interest rates may increase funding costs and reduce earning asset yields, thus reducing margins. Increases in benchmark interest rates would also increase debt service requirements for
customers whose terms include a variable interest rate, which may negatively impact the ability of borrowers to pay as contractually obligated.
Possible changes in general economic and business conditions in the United States in general and in the communities Regions serves in particular, including any prolonging or worsening of the current
unfavorable economic conditions including unemployment levels.
Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans.
Possible
changes
in
trade,
monetary
and
fiscal
policies,
laws
and
regulations
and
other
activities
of
governments,
agencies,
and
similar
organizations,
may
have
an
adverse
effect
on
business.
The current stresses in the financial and real estate markets, including possible continued deterioration in property values.
Regions' ability to manage fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet exposure so as to maintain sufficient capital and liquidity to support Regions' business.
Regions' ability to expand into new markets and to maintain profit margins in the face of competitive pressures.
Regions' ability to develop competitive new products and services in a timely manner and the acceptance of such products and services by Regions' customers and potential customers.
Regions' ability to keep pace with technological changes.
Regions' ability to effectively manage credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, operational risk, legal risk, liquidity risk, and regulatory and compliance risk.
Regions’
ability to ensure adequate capitalization which is impacted by inherent uncertainties in forecasting credit losses.
The cost and other effects of material contingencies, including litigation contingencies, and any adverse judicial, administrative or arbitral rulings or proceedings.
The effects of increased competition from both banks and non-banks.
The effects of geopolitical instability and risks such as terrorist attacks.
Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits could affect Regions' ability to increase assets and to attract deposits.
The effects of weather and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wind, tornados and hurricanes, and the effects of man-made disasters.
Possible downgrades in ratings issued by rating agencies.
Potential
dilution
of
holders
of
shares
of
Regions’
common
stock
resulting
from
the
U.S.
Treasury’s
investment
in
TARP.
Possible
changes
in
the
speed
of
loan
prepayments
by
Regions’
customers
and
loan
origination
or
sales
volumes.
Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.
The effects of problems encountered by larger or similar financial institutions that adversely affect Regions or the banking industry generally.
Regions’
ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries.
The
effects
of
the
failure
of
any
component
of
Regions’
business
infrastructure
which
is
provided
by
a
third
party.
Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies.
With regard to the sale of Morgan Keegan:
the possibility that regulatory and other approvals and conditions to the transaction are not received on a timely basis or at all; the possibility that modifications to the terms of the transaction may be
required in order to obtain or satisfy such approvals or conditions; changes in the anticipated timing for closing the transaction; business disruption during the pendency of or following the transaction;
diversion
of
management
time
on
transaction-related
issues;
reputational
risks
and
the
reaction
of
customers
and
counterparties
to
the
transaction
The
effects
of
any
damage
to
Regions’
reputation
resulting
from
developments
related
to
any
of
the
items
identified
above.
The
foregoing
list
of
factors
is
not
exhaustive.
For
discussion
of
these
and
other
factors
that
may
cause
actual
results
to
differ
from
expectations,
look
under
the
captions
“Forward-Looking
Statements”
and
“Risk
Factors”
in Regions’
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project," and similar expressions often signify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only
as
of
the
date
made.
We
assume
no
obligation
to
update
or
revise
any
forward-looking
statements
that
are
made
from
time
to
time.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION: NET INCOME / (LOSS) AND
EARNINGS PER SHARE
1
There are no preferred shares allocable to discontinued operations.
2
In the second quarter of 2010, Regions recorded a $200 million charge to account for a probable, reasonably estimable loss related to a pending settlement of regulatory matters. At that time,
Regions assumed that the entire charge would be non-deductible for income tax purposes. $75 million of the regulatory charge relates to continuing operations. The settlement was finalized
during the second quarter of 2011. At the time of settlement, Regions had better information related to tax implications. Approximately $125 million of the settlement charge will be deductible
for
federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2011, Regions adjusted federal income taxes to account for the impact of the deduction. The adjustment reduced Regions'
provision for income taxes by approximately $44 million for the second quarter of 2011, of which approximately $17 million relates to continuing operations.

The tables below and on the next slide present computations of earnings (loss) and certain other financial measures, excluding goodwill impairment and regulatory charge and related tax
benefit (non-GAAP).  The goodwill impairment charge and the regulatory charge and related tax benefit are included in financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). A table also presents computations of full year and quarterly pre-tax pre-provision income (non-GAAP). Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding
certain adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP). Regions believes that the exclusion of the goodwill impairment and the regulatory charge and related tax benefit
in expressing earnings (loss) and certain other financial measures, including "earnings (loss) per common share, excluding goodwill impairment and regulatory charge and related tax
benefit“ 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  because management does not consider the
goodwill impairment and regulatory charge and related tax benefit to be relevant to ongoing operating results.  Management and the Board of Directors utilize these non-GAAP financial
measures for the following purposes: preparation of Regions' operating budgets; monthly financial performance reporting; monthly close-out "flash" reporting of consolidated results
(management only);  and presentations to investors of company performance. Management uses these measures to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful
information to investors.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION: PRE-TAX PRE-PROVISION
INCOME AND RISK WEIGHTED ASSETS
The Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Income from Continuing Operations table presents computations of pre-tax pre-provision income from continuing operations excluding certain
adjustments
(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.
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.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION: TIER 1 COMMON
The following table provides a reconciliation of stockholder’s equity to "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 codified in federal banking
regulations.  In connection with the Company's Comprehensive Capital Assessment 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 codified,  analysts and
banking
regulators
have
assessed
Regions'
capital
adequacy
using
the
Tier
1
common
equity
measure.
Because
and
Tier
1
common
equity
is
not
formally defined by GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations, this measure is considered to be non-GAAP 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, we believe 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 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.  Tier 1 common equity is also divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common equity ratio.  The amounts disclosed as risk-
weighted assets are calculated consistent with banking regulatory requirements.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION: BASEL III
(1)
Under
Basel
III,
regulatory
capital
must
be
reduced
by
purchased
credit
card
relationship
intangible
assets.
These
assets
are
partially allowed in Basel I capital.
(2)
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.
The
following
table
provides
calculations
of
Tier
1
capital
and
Tier
1
common,
based
on
Regions’
current
understanding
of
Basel
III
requirements.  Regions currently calculates its risk-based capital ratios under guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve based on the
1988 Capital Accord (“Basel I”) of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”).  In December 2010, the Basel
Committee
released
its
final
framework
for
Basel
III,
which
will
strengthen
international
capital
and
liquidity
regulation.
When
implemented
by
U.S.
bank
regulatory
agencies
and
fully
phased-in,
Basel
III
will
change
capital
requirements
and
place
greater
emphasis
on
common
equity.  Implementation of Basel III will begin on January 1, 2013, and will be phased in over a multi-year period.  The U.S. bank regulatory
agencies have not yet finalized regulations governing the implementation of Basel III.  Accordingly, the calculations provided below are
estimates, based on Regions’
current understanding of the framework, including the Company’s reading of the requirements, and informal
feedback
received
through
the
regulatory
process.
Regions’
understanding
of
the
framework
is
evolving
and
will
likely
change
as
the
regulations
are
finalized.
Because
the
Basel
III
implementation
regulations
are
not
formally
defined
by
GAAP
and
have
not
yet
been
finalized and codified, 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.
