those results. Our second quarter 2019 consolidated financial results below should be read in conjunction with

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are incorporated by reference herein.
S-2


Earnings Overview -- Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018
Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was
$842 million. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the second quarter of 2019 were $1.09, an
increase of $0.10 compared to the second quarter of 2018. Earnings for the current quarter include pre-tax
merger-related and restructuring charges of $23 million ($19 million after-tax) and $9 million ($7 million
after-tax) of incremental operating expenses related to the merger with SunTrust. Earnings for the earlier quarter
include pre-tax merger-related and restructurings charges of $24 million ($17 million after-tax).
Our results of operations for the second quarter of 2019 produced an annualized return on average assets of
1.55% and an annualized return on average common shareholders' equity of 11.98%, compared to annualized
returns for the same quarter of the prior year of 1.49% and 11.74%, respectively.
Total taxable-equivalent revenues were $3.1 billion for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of
$165 million compared to the earlier quarter, which reflects an increase of $35 million in taxable-equivalent net
interest income and an increase of $130 million in noninterest income.
Net interest margin was 3.42%, down three basis points compared to the earlier quarter. Average earning
assets increased $5.7 billion. The increase in average earning assets reflects a $5.8 billion increase in average
total loans and leases. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $6.1 billion compared to the earlier quarter.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $3.5 billion and average short-term borrowings increased
$3.0 billion, while average long-term debt decreased $406 million. The annualized yield on the total loan
portfolio for the second quarter of 2019 was 5.05%, up 35 basis points compared to the earlier quarter, reflecting
the impact of rate increases. The annualized yield on the average securities portfolio was 2.62%, up nine basis
points compared to the earlier period.
The average annualized cost of total deposits was 0.68%, up 31 basis points compared to the earlier quarter.
The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.02%, up 45 basis points compared to the earlier
quarter. The average annualized rate on long-term debt was 3.33%, up 52 basis points compared to the earlier
quarter. The average annualized rate on short-term borrowings was 2.40%, up 63 basis points compared to the
earlier quarter. The higher rates on interest-bearing liabilities reflect the impact of rate increases.
The provision for credit losses was $172 million, compared to $135 million for the earlier quarter. Net
charge-offs for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $142 million compared to $109 million in the earlier period.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2019 was up $130 million compared to the earlier quarter.
Insurance income increased $85 million to record levels due to higher production and the acquisition of Regions
Insurance. Mortgage banking income increased $19 million primarily due to an increase of $28 million for net
mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments, which was partially offset by lower residential and commercial
mortgage banking revenues. Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions increased $22 million
primarily due to higher revenue from investment banking transactions and higher managed account fees.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019 was up $31 million compared to the earlier quarter.
Merger-related and restructuring charges was essentially flat, as the current quarter included charges in
connection with the announced merger of equals with SunTrust, whereas the earlier quarter included charges
associated with facilities optimization. The current quarter also included $9 million of incremental operating
expenses related to the merger. Excluding these charges, noninterest expense was up $23 million, or 1.4%
compared to the earlier quarter.
Personnel expense increased $46 million compared to the earlier quarter, primarily due to higher incentives,
partially due to the Regions Insurance acquisition, and lower capitalized employee costs. The lower capitalized
S-3


employee costs reflect efficiencies in the loan closing process. Regulatory charges decreased $20 million as a
result of the deposit insurance fund reaching the targeted level.
The provision for income taxes was $234 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $202 million
for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 of 20.9%, compared to
19.7% for the earlier quarter.
Balance Sheet Overview -- Second Quarter 2019 Compared to First Quarter 2019
Average loans held for investment for the second quarter of 2019 were $150.5 billion, up $2.4 billion or
6.5% annualized, compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Average commercial and industrial loans increased $1.2 billion driven by strong growth in mortgage
warehouse lending, corporate banking, equipment finance and dealer floor plan. Average commercial real estate
loans decreased $157 million, primarily due to a decrease in construction loans.
Average residential mortgage loans increased $696 million primarily due to the retention of a portion of the
conforming mortgage production.
Average indirect retail loans increased $542 million. The increase was across all categories of indirect
lending. Growth was led by prime automobile lending and complemented with seasonally strong growth in
power sports and recreational lending.
Average deposits for the second quarter were $159.9 billion, down $154 million compared to the prior
quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $397 million, primarily due to increases in personal and
commercial balances, partially offset by a seasonal decrease in public funds balances. Average time deposits
decreased $663 million primarily due to a decrease in commercial balances.
Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 32.9% of total average deposits for the second quarter, compared
to 32.7% for the prior quarter and 34.2% for the same quarter a year ago. The cost of average total deposits was
0.68% for the second quarter, up four basis points compared to the prior quarter. The cost of average interest-
bearing deposits was 1.02% for the second quarter, up seven basis points compared to the prior quarter.

basis points compared to March 31, 2019.
Performing troubled debt restructuring were down $60 million during the second quarter primarily in
residential mortgage loans, which was partially offset by an increase in commercial and industrial loans.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $407 million at June 30, 2019, down $24 million
compared to the prior quarter. The ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of
loans and leases was 0.27% at June 30, 2019, compared to 0.29% for the prior quarter. Excluding government
guaranteed and purchased credit impaired loans, the ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as
a percentage of loans and leases was 0.04% at June 30, 2019, unchanged from the prior quarter.
Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing totaled $1.0 billion at June 30, 2019, up $68 million compared
to the prior quarter, primarily due to an expected seasonal increase in indirect automobile lending.
S-4


Dividends and Capital

during the second quarter of 2019 and the Board of Directors will consider a proposal to increase the dividend

SunTrust's Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
SunTrust reported earnings for the second quarter of 2019 on July 18, 2019. Outlined below is a summary of
those results. SunTrust's second quarter 2019 consolidated financial results below should be read in conjunction
with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2019, and its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Earnings Overview -- Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018
Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was
$663 million. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the second quarter of 2019 were $1.48, a
decrease of $0.01 compared to the second quarter of 2018. Earnings for the current quarter include $0.07 per
share of discrete tax benefits and $(0.03) per share of merger-related impacts associated with SunTrust's
previously announced proposed merger with BB&T Corporation.
SunTrust's results of operations for the second quarter of 2019 produced an annualized return on average
assets of 1.25% and an annualized return on average common shareholders' equity of 11.51%, compared to
annualized returns for the same quarter of the prior year of 1.42% and 12.73%, respectively.
Total revenues were $2.6 billion for the second quarter of 2019. On a taxable-equivalent basis, total
revenues increased $243 million compared to the same period in 2018. Excluding a $205 million insurance
settlement benefit related to financial crisis-related claims in the current quarter, total tax-equivalent revenues
increased $38 million. This reflects an increase of $47 million in taxable-equivalent net interest income. Net
interest margin -- fully taxable-equivalent was 3.16%, compared to 3.28% for the second quarter of 2018.
The provision for credit losses was $127 million, compared to $32 million in the second quarter of 2018.
Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $85 million compared to $73 million for the prior year
quarter.
Noninterest income was $1.0 billion for the second quarter 2019, an increase of $196 million. Excluding the
aforementioned $205 million insurance settlement benefit, noninterest income decreased slightly year-over-year.
The decrease was driven by lower investment banking income and client transaction-related fees, which were
largely offset by higher commercial real estate related income.
Noninterest expense was $1.6 billion for the second quarter of 2019, up $248 million compared to the
second quarter 2018. Excluding a $205 million charitable contribution to the SunTrust Foundation and
$14 million in merger-related impacts, noninterest expense increased $29 million. This increase was driven by
higher personnel expense and ongoing investments in technology.
The provision for income taxes was $105 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $171 million
for the prior year quarter. The provision for income taxes includes discrete tax benefits of $32 million and
$1 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 13%, and
19% for these periods.
S-5


Balance Sheet Overview -- Second Quarter 2019 Compared to First Quarter 2019
Average loans held for investment for the second quarter of 2019 were $156.2 billion, an increase of
$2.0 billion, compared to the first quarter of 2019, driven primarily by growth in commercial and industrial,
commercial real estate, consumer direct, and consumer indirect loans.
Commercial and industrial growth was widespread. Commercial Banking growth was driven largely by
increases in auto dealer, aging services, expansion markets, and core commercial clients. Commercial real estate
growth was driven by investments made in permanent lending and bridge lending capabilities, which was
partially offset by run-off in the construction portfolio.
Consumer growth was primarily driven by ongoing investments made in digital and point-of-sale lending
capabilities.
Average consumer and commercial deposits for the second quarter 2019 were $159.9 billion, relatively
stable compared to the prior quarter. Increases of $879 million, $738 million, $123 million, and $41 million in
average interest bearing transaction deposits, average time deposits, average savings balances, and average
demand deposits, respectively, were offset by a $1.8 billion decline in average money market balances.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans held for investment totaled $536 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of $14 million
compared to March 31, 2019. The increase was driven by a $61 million increase in commercial nonperforming
loans, largely offset by a $47 million decrease in consumer nonperforming loans. There were no nonperforming
loans held for sale at June 30, 2019, compared to $64 million at March 31, 2019 as these loans were sold in the
second quarter of 2019 (for a $44 million gain). Nonperforming loans and leases represented 0.34% of loans and
leases held for investment, which was flat compared to March 31, 2019.
Troubled debt restructurings declined $120 million during the second quarter, with declines of $100 million
in non-accruing troubled debt restructurings and $20 million in accruing troubled debt restructurings.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $1.5 billion at June 30, 2019, a $183 million
decrease compared to March 31, 2019, due primarily to a decrease in government guaranteed residential
mortgage loans.
Dividends and Capital
SunTrust's capital levels remained strong at June 30, 2019. SunTrust declared common dividends of $0.50
per share during the second quarter of 2019, which was equal to the first quarter 2019.
Book value and tangible book value per share increased by 5% and 6% sequentially, given growth in
retained earnings and a decrease in accumulated other income loss.

Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series F Preferred Stock, the
Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock. We will
generally be able to pay dividends and distributions upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up only out of lawfully available assets for
such payment (i.e., after taking account of all indebtedness and other
non-equity claims).
Dividend payment dates
Semi-annually in arrears on the 1st day of March and September of
each year, commencing on March 1, 2020. If any date on which
dividends would otherwise be payable is not a business day, then the
dividend payment date will be the next succeeding business day and
no additional dividends will accrue in respect of any payment made
on the next succeeding business day.
Dividends
Dividends will be payable on the Series N Preferred Stock, when, as
and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized
committee of the board.

Dividends will accrue on the liquidation preference amount of
$25,000 per share of the Series N Preferred Stock (equivalent to
$1,000 per depositary share) (i) from the date of original issue to, but
excluding, September 1, 2024 (the "First Reset Date") at a fixed rate
per annum of 4.800%, and (ii) from, and including, the First Reset
Date, during each reset period, at a rate per annum equal to the five-
year U.S. treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend
determination date plus 3.003%.
A "reset date" means the First Reset Date and each date falling on the
fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date. Reset dates, including
the First Reset Date, will not be adjusted for business days. A "reset
period" means the period from and including the First Reset Date to,
but excluding, the next following reset date and thereafter each period
from and including each reset date to, but excluding, the next
following reset date. A "reset dividend determination date" means, in
respect of any reset period, the day falling three business days prior to
the beginning of such reset period.
Any dividends paid will be distributed to holders of depositary shares
in the manner described under "Description of Depositary Shares --
Dividends and Other Distributions" below.
Dividends will be payable to holders of record of Series N Preferred
Stock as they appear on our books on the applicable record date,
which shall be the 15th calendar day before the applicable dividend
payment date, or such other record date, not exceeding 30 days before
the applicable dividend payment date, as shall be fixed by the board
of directors or any duly authorized committee of the board. The
corresponding record dates for the depositary shares will be the same
as the record dates for the Series N Preferred Stock.
A dividend period is the period from, and including, a dividend
payment date to, but excluding, the next dividend payment date,
except that the initial dividend period will commence on, and include,
the original issue date of the Series N Preferred Stock and will end
on, and exclude, the March 1, 2020 dividend payment date.
If our board of directors, or a duly authorized committee of the board,
has not declared a dividend on the Series N Preferred Stock before the
dividend payment date for any dividend period, such dividend shall
not be cumulative and shall not accrue or be payable for such
dividend period, and we will have no obligation to pay dividends for
such dividend period, whether or not dividends on the Series N
Preferred Stock, parity stock, junior stock or other preferred stock are
declared for any future dividend period.
So long as any share of Series N Preferred Stock remains outstanding,
(1) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and
no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on
any junior stock (other than a dividend payable solely in junior stock),
