Loan Growth by Type: Solid loan growth in C&I, Term CRE and Residential Mortgage (1-4 Family), partially offset by headwinds in National Real Estate and Energy 12 Source: Company documents;); NRE = National Real Estate Group, a division of Zions Bank that focuses on small business loans with low loan-to-value ratios, generally in line with SBA 504 program parameters.

This adjustment makes the result more comparable to the prior quarter’s result of 3.11% • Mix shift: An increase in securities and loans, and a decrease in cash as a percentage of earning assets was a significant driver of the linked-quarter NIM expansion • Continued reduction of high-cost debt, completed in November 2015 • Relative to 3Q15, asset sensitivity was not a significant driver of NIM expansion in 4Q15 Loan Yield Securities Yield Interest Expense / Interest Earning Assets: Black Net Interest Margin Cash Yield: White Loans 73% Securities 13% Cash 14% Interest-Earning Asset Mix


 
Loan Pricing Loan pricing has been generally stable during the past year 14 3.64% 4.24% 3.87% 2.5% 3.0% 3.5% 4.0% 4.5% 4Q14 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 4Q15 Portfolio Yield vs. Production Yield • Linked-quarter loan yield higher entirely due to recoveries of interest income • Yield essentially flat when adjusting for recoveries – still a positive sign • Coupon rate of new loan production (green) remained relatively stable at 3.64% • Production yields on larger loans improved somewhat more than the move in LIBOR • Volume of new production (not shown) was more concentrated in larger loans than the prior quarter (seasonal pattern) Loans HFI = Loans held for investment; the difference between the coupon and the yield is the net of amortizing fee income, partially offset by amortizing expense.

• Energy Loan Loss Expectation • In January 2015, Zions modeled energy losses for the 9-quarter period (4Q14 – 4Q16) to be between and $75 million and $125 million • The loss range was established using an oil price of approximately $50 per barrel for two years, after which oil reverted to the then-NYMEX curve • Several models were used to triangulate to the loss range, including a CCAR model • Actual losses during the first five quarters of the nine-quarter period were $43 million • Using similar methodologies and with oil at $30 per barrel, energy loan losses are estimated to be between $75 million and $100 million for the next four quarters • Losses are likely to emerge beyond 2016, but are expected to be manageable • Strong Reserve Against Energy Loans – Zions is currently reserved at more than 5% of energy loan balances Updated Energy Loss Expectation: Moderate increase to reflect lower commodity prices and longer duration 16

The Derivative Effect: Commercial Real Estate Limited expected NPAs or losses on Zions’ commercial real estate portfolio in Houston 19 Overview Statement: • Zions expects a moderate adverse migration of loan grades, but does not currently expect substantial loss due to strong collateral and cash flow support (subject to duration of downturn) • Zions exercised caution with Texas CRE lending leading up to the decline in energy prices due primarily to concentration limits and CRE risk hurdles 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Under 50 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99 100+ Current Houston Term Loan-To-Values 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% <1.0 1-1.25 1.25-1.5 1.5-1.75 1.75-2 >=2 Current Houston Term Debt Service Coverage Ratios


 
Next 12-Month Outlook Summary Relative to 4Q15 Results Topic Outlook Comment Loan Balances Slightly to Moderately Increasing • Expect strengthening growth in residential mortgage (mostly short duration ARMs) and general C&I, partially offset by continued attrition from National Real Estate and Energy portfolios Net Interest Income Increasing • Expect 1Q16 to be similar to the reported 4Q15A, driven by asset sensitivity, loan and security growth, partially offset by one fewer day of interest income and no anticipated large interest income recoveries. • Expect continued increases in loans and securities to result in increased net interest income Provisions Increasing • On average, quarterly provisions likely to be moderately higher relative to 4Q15A, reflecting moderate total net charge-offs, loan growth, and expected downgrades of energy-related loans Noninterest Income Slightly to Moderately Increasing • Excluding securities gains/losses and fair value & nonhedge derivative income. • Dividends from federal agencies declining due to charter consolidation and FAST Act (transportation, H.R. 22) Noninterest Expense Stable • Targeting NIE of less than $1.6 billion in FY16. • 1Q16 NIE expected to be slightly above $400 million due to seasonal factors • Includes continued elevated spending on technology systems overhaul Preferred Dividends Declining • $180 million tender offer completed in 4Q15 reduces preferred dividend expense in 2016 by approximately $10 million, or about $0.05/share annually compared to FY15 20


 
Appendix 21  Energy Portfolio Detail  Houston Economic Trends  Loan Growth by Bank Brand and Type


 
Energy Portfolio Detail 22 * Because many borrowers operate in multiple businesses, judgment has been applied in characterizing a borrower as energy-related, including a particular segment of energy-related activity, e.g., upstream or downstream; typically, 50% of revenues coming from the energy sector is used as a guide. Continued attrition of loan balances, generally driven by borrowers paying down or paying off their balances Loan downgrades continued as expected, primarily from oilfield services but also from upstream loans Zions added to the energy loan allowance for credit losses during 4Q15. The decision was driven in part by the decline in oil prices. Zions expects further downgrades, reflecting further stress from oil prices near $30 Reserve for energy loans is considered strong at more than 5% of outstanding balances (In millions) 12/31/2015 % of total 9/30/2015 $ Change % Change 6/30/2015 Loans and leases: Oil and gas related: Upstream - exploration and production $ 817 31 % $ 924 (107) (12)% $ 954 Midstream – marketing and transportation 621 23 % 626 (5) (1) % 589 Downstream – refining 127 5 % 124 3 2 % 131 Other non-services 44 2 % 55 (11) (20)% 75 Oilfield services 784 30 % 825 (41) (5)% 879 Energy service manufacturing 229 9 % 251 (22) (9)% 255 Total oil and gas related 2,622 100 % 2,805 (183) (7)% 2,883 Alternative energy loans 205 214 (9) (4)% 222 Total loan and lease balances 2,287 3,019 (192) (6)% 3,105 Unfunded lending commitments 2,164 2,364 (200) (8)% 2,403 Total credit exposure $ 4,991 $ 5,383 (392) (7)% $ 5,508 Private equity investments 13 17 (4) (24)% 18 Credit Quality Measures of oil and gas related loans Criticized loan ratio 30.3 % 23.2 % 20.3 % Classified loan ratio 19.7 % 15.7 % 11.3 % Nonperforming loan ratio 2.5 % 3.0 % 2.3 % Net charge-off ratio, annualized 3.7 % 2.4 % —%
