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" of Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
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:
Forward-looking statements
Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates and the related acceleration of premium amortization on
those securities.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) became law  in July 2010, and a number of legislative, regulatory
and tax proposals remain pending. Future and proposed rules, including those that may be part of the Basel III process, are expected to require banking
institutions to increase levels of capital and to meet more stringent liquidity requirements. All of the foregoing may have significant effects on Regions and the
financial services industry, the exact nature and extent of which cannot be determined at this time.
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.
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 challenging economic conditions including unemployment levels.
Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits could affect Regions' ability to increase assets and to attract deposits.
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.
Possible stresses in the financial and real estate markets, including possible 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.
The effects of any damage to Regions reputation resulting from developments related to any of the items identified above.
Possible regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or other regulators which might adversely impact Regions' business model or    
products and services.
Regions' ability to effectively manage credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, operational risk, legal risk, liquidity risk, reputational risk, counterparty risk,
international 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.
Changes
in
accounting
policies
or
procedures
as
may
be
required
by
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
or
other
regulatory
agencies.
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.
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.
The effects of problems encountered by larger or similar financial institutions that adversely affect Regions or the banking industry generally.
Possible
changes
in
the
speed
of
loan
prepayments
by
Regions’
customers
and
loan
origination
or
sales
volumes.

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.

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 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.  Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue (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.

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, 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, this measure is 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.

The following table provides calculations of Tier 1 common, based on Regions’ current understanding of Basel III requirements, as proposed by the U.S. Notices
of Proposed Rulemaking released in June 2012.  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 Committe
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.   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.  The Federal Reserve has announced a delay in the
implementation date of the final rules.  However, when implemented there will be a phase in period of up to 6 years.  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.

Under Basel III, regulatory capital must be reduced by purchased credit card relationship intangible assets.  These assets
are partially allowed in Basel I capital.

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.
