SunTrust Reports Second Quarter 2005 Earnings

 Positive Operating Trends Continue, Fueled By Strong Loan and Deposit Growth

    ATLANTA, July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SunTrust Banks, Inc.
(NYSE: STI) today reported net income for the second quarter of 2005 of $465.7
million, up from $386.6 million in the second quarter of 2004.  Net income per
diluted share was $1.28, down from the $1.36 per diluted share earned in the
second quarter of 2004.  Operating income per diluted share was $1.37, up 1%
from the second quarter of 2004.  Operating income does not include $33.6
million of after-tax merger charges incurred in the second quarter of 2005
associated with SunTrust's acquisition of National Commerce Financial
Corporation (NCF), which closed on October 1, 2004.
    "Strong revenue growth coupled with effective cost control led to the
continuation of positive operating trends this quarter," said L. Phillip
Humann, SunTrust Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "Hallmarks of the
quarter included significant loan and deposit growth, evidence of the success
that sales and customer retention initiatives are having.  In addition, credit
quality remained excellent with charge-offs near historically low levels.
These positive trends helped offset an increase in provision for loan losses
necessary to accommodate another quarter of very strong loan growth."

    Discussion of Historical Results and Estimated Historical Combined Results
    In order to assist investors in comparing the financial results of the
now-combined SunTrust and NCF, estimated historical combined information for
the second quarter and first six months of 2004 is presented as if the merger
had been completed at the beginning of the period presented.  In management's
view, the estimated historical combined financial results assist investors in
better understanding the comparative performance and underlying growth
dynamics of the combined Company.  For further information regarding the
estimated historical combined financial information, including reconciliations
of certain financial information, please see Appendix B.
    Furthermore, NCF's systems applications were converted to SunTrust's
systems applications in April 2005.  In some cases, NCF classified loans and
deposits differently for financial reporting compared to the SunTrust
methodology.  While prior to the conversion NCF loan and deposit accounts were
mapped as closely as possible to SunTrust classifications, it was anticipated
that additional reclassifications could occur once the system conversions were
completed.  As a result, to better ascertain underlying growth dynamics of the
combined Company, sequential annualized growth rates adjusted for estimated
reclassifications have been provided.  In management's view, sequential
annualized growth rates adjusted for estimated reclassifications assist
investors in better understanding the comparative performance and underlying
growth dynamics of loans and deposits for the combined Company.  For further
information regarding the consolidated daily average balances for loans and
deposits for the first and second quarters of 2005, adjusted for estimated
reclassifications that arose as a result of the systems conversions, please
see Appendix C.

     - Total average loans increased 13% and total average consumer and
       commercial deposits increased 8% from the second quarter of 2004 on an
       estimated historical combined basis, reflecting the effectiveness of
       SunTrust's company-wide sales focus.
     - Total revenue increased 5% from the second quarter of 2004 on an
       estimated historical combined basis, driven by fully taxable net
       interest income growth of 6% and noninterest income growth of 3%.
     - Noninterest expense before amortization of intangible assets and merger
       expense increased only 1% from the second quarter of 2004 on an
       estimated historical combined basis, evidence of the focus on expense
       management.
     - Revenue growth and good expense management led to positive operating
       leverage as demonstrated in the efficiency ratio improvement from the
       second quarter of 2004, especially in the operating efficiency ratio
       measurement that excludes merger related expenses. The efficiency ratio
       for the second quarter of 2005 was 61.30%, a 28 basis point decrease
       from the second quarter of 2004.  The operating efficiency ratio, which
       excludes merger expenses, was 58.46%, a 312 basis point decrease from
       the operating efficiency ratio in the second quarter of 2004.
     - Credit quality was outstanding during the quarter; net charge-offs were
       0.13% of average loans, down from 0.19% of average loans in the second
       quarter of 2004.
     - Although net income decreased 1% from the second quarter of 2004 on an
       estimated historical combined basis, operating net income, which
       excludes merger expenses, increased 6%.
     - SunTrust completed the NCF conversion of all branches and significant
       systems during the quarter.  One-time merger expenses are on track and
       cost savings are ahead of expectations for 2005.

     (1) Excludes 2nd quarter 2005 merger related expenses, net of taxes,
         which totaled $33.6 million.
     (2) Excludes 2nd quarter 2005 merger related expenses, net of taxes, per
         diluted share of $.09.
     (3) Excludes 2nd quarter 2005 merger related expenses of $54.3 million,
         which had the effect of reducing the efficiency ratio by 284 basis
         points.
     NR - Not reported.


    Financial Performance
    For the quarter, reported return on average total assets (ROA) was 1.13%
and return on average total equity (ROE) was 11.48%.  Excluding net realized
and unrealized securities gains and losses and dividends from The Coca-Cola
Company, return on average assets was 1.11% and return on average realized
equity was 12.02%.  Operating ROA and ROE, which excludes merger charges, was
1.21% and 12.31%, respectively.
    For the first six months of 2005, the Company reported net income of
$958.0 million, up from $748.4 million earned in the same period in 2004.  Net
income per diluted share was $2.64, flat from the same period in 2004.
Operating net income per diluted share was $2.77 for the first six months of
2005, up 5% from the same period in 2004.  ROA for the first six months of
2005 was 1.18% and ROE was 11.93%.  Excluding net realized and unrealized
securities gains and losses and dividends from The Coca-Cola Company, return
on average assets was one basis point lower and return on average realized
equity was 68 basis points higher than the reported returns.

    Revenue
    Total revenue was $1,913.3 million for the second quarter of 2005, up from
$1,507.8 million in the second quarter of 2004.  On an estimated historical
combined basis, total revenue was up 5% from the second quarter of 2004.  On a
sequential annualized basis, total revenue, excluding securities gains and
losses and the net gain on sale of Receivables Capital Management (RCM)
factoring assets that occurred in the first quarter, increased 10%.  Revenue
growth was driven by increases in both net interest income and noninterest
income.
    For the first six months of 2005, total revenue was $3,796.4 million, up
from $2,966.7 million for the same period in 2004.  On an estimated historical
combined basis, for the first six months of 2005, total revenue was up 5% from
the same period in 2004.  Revenue growth for the first six months of 2005 was
also driven by increases in both net interest income and noninterest income.

    Net Interest Income
    Fully taxable net interest income was $1,142.4 million in the second
quarter of 2005, up from $885.1 million in the second quarter of 2004.  On an
estimated historical combined basis, fully taxable net interest income was up
6% from the second quarter of 2004.  The primary factors driving the net
interest income growth year-over-year have been strong loan growth and year-
over-year improvement in net interest margin.  On an estimated historical
combined basis, loans have grown 13% on average from the second quarter of
2004.  The net interest margin improved from 3.13% for the second quarter of
2004 to 3.16% for the second quarter of 2005.  The net interest margin of
3.16% for the second quarter of 2005 was down nine basis points from the first
quarter of 2005 due to a number of factors, including: 1) the reversal of the
day count benefit that occurred in the first quarter; 2) the mix of both the
strong incremental loan growth and how the growth was funded had a dilutive
effect on net interest margin; 3) an increase in loans held for sale at a
compressed margin; 4) increases in deposit pricing to remain competitive; and
5) the impact of the flattening yield curve during the second quarter.
Although net interest margin declined in the second quarter of 2005, fully
taxable net interest income increased 5% in the second quarter compared to the
first quarter of 2005 on a sequential annualized basis.
    For the first six months of 2005, fully taxable net interest income was
$2,271.7 million, up from $1,749.0 million for the same period in 2004.  On an
estimated historical combined basis for the first six months of 2005, fully
taxable net interest income was up 6% from the same period in 2004.

    Noninterest Income
    Total noninterest income was $770.9 million for the second quarter of 2005,
up from $622.7 million for the second quarter of 2004.  On an estimated
historical combined basis, total noninterest income for the second quarter was
up 3% from the second quarter of 2004.  Comparing the second quarter to the
first quarter of 2005, total noninterest income excluding securities gains and
losses and the net gain on sale of RCM factoring assets that occurred in the
first quarter increased 17% on a sequential annualized basis.  Drivers of the
increase in noninterest income have been growth in service charge fee income,
trust and investment management income and mortgage related income.
    For the first six months of 2005, noninterest income excluding securities
gains and losses and the net gain on the sale of RCM factoring assets was
$1,510.5 million, up from $1,221.9 million for the same period in 2004.  On an
estimated historical combined basis for the first six months of 2005,
noninterest income excluding securities gains and losses and the net gain on
the sale of RCM factoring assets was up 4% from the same period in 2004.

    Noninterest Expense
    Total noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2005 was $1,172.8
million, up from $928.4 million for the second quarter of 2004. On an
estimated historical combined basis, total noninterest expense before
amortization of intangible assets and merger expenses was up 1% from the
second quarter of 2004. Comparing the second quarter to the first quarter of
2005, total noninterest expense before amortization of intangible assets and
merger expenses increased 4% on a sequential annualized basis.  Cost savings
from the merger integration amounted to $18 million in the second quarter of
2005, bringing the total cost savings to $26 million for the first six months
of 2005.
    The Company's reported efficiency ratio was 61.30% for the second quarter
of 2005 compared to 60.22% for the first quarter of 2005.  The operating
efficiency ratio, which excludes the impact of merger expenses, was 58.46%.
This compares favorably to the first quarter operating efficiency ratio of
58.85% and the adjusted operating efficiency ratio, which excludes the impact
of the net gain on sale of RCM factoring assets in addition to merger expenses,
of 59.48%.
    For the first six months of 2005, total noninterest expense was $2,306.7
million, up from $1,818.2 million for the same period of 2004.  For the first
six months of 2005, total noninterest expense before amortization of
intangible assets and merger expenses was up 3% from the same period of 2004
on an estimated historical combined basis.

    Balance Sheet
    At June 30, 2005, SunTrust had total assets of $169.0 billion.  Equity
capital of $16.6 billion represented 10% of total assets.  Book value per
share was $45.96, up from $44.59 on March 31, 2005.

    Loans
    Average loans for the second quarter of 2005 were $107.0 billion, up from
$80.9 billion for the second quarter of 2004.  On an estimated historical
combined basis, average loans were up 13% from the second quarter of 2004.  On
a sequential annualized basis, average loans grew 15% from the first quarter
to the second quarter of 2005.  Areas of strongest growth in the consumer
category were residential real estate, home equity and consumer direct.
Commercial loan growth was strong across all market segments.

    Deposits
    Average consumer and commercial deposits for the second quarter of 2005
were $93.1 billion, up from $73.2 billion for the second quarter of 2004.  On
an estimated historical combined basis, average consumer and commercial
deposits for the second quarter were up 8% from the second quarter of 2004.
On a sequential annualized basis, average consumer and commercial deposits
grew 9% from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2005.  On a sequential
annualized basis adjusted for estimated reclassifications, noninterest-bearing
and time deposit growth was particularly strong in the second quarter.  Time
deposit growth was enhanced through a marketing campaign that began in the
first quarter and continued through a portion of the second quarter.

    Asset Quality
    Credit quality trends continued to improve in the second quarter of 2005.
Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2005 were 0.13% of average loans,
down from 0.14% of average loans in the first quarter of 2005 and 0.19% of
average loans in the second quarter of 2004.  Net charge-offs were $35.4
million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $36.8 million in the first
quarter of 2005.  Nonperforming assets were $380.3 million at June 30, 2005 or
0.35% of loans, other real estate owned and other repossessed assets, as
compared to $392.3 million or 0.37% of loans, other real estate owned and
other repossessed assets at March 31, 2005.
    Although the credit trends continued to improve, the allowance for loan
and lease losses was increased to $1,036.2 million at June 30, 2005 from
$1,023.7 million at March 31, 2005 to accommodate the continuation of
significant loan growth.  Provision expense increased from $10.6 million in
the first quarter of 2005 to $47.8 million in the second quarter of 2005 as a
result of the need to increase the allowance for loan and lease losses.  The
allowance for loan and leases losses at June 30, 2005 represented 0.95% of
loans and 296.7% of nonperforming loans.  SunTrust believes its net charge-off
and nonperforming asset levels continue to compare very favorably with the
most recently published industry averages.

    Elimination of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
    SunTrust disclosed that there was a material weakness in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting relating to the allowance for loan
and lease losses initially in its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2004, in
the subsequent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and in the Form
10-Q for the first quarter of 2005.  Management has determined that SunTrust
has eliminated the material weakness in internal control over financial
reporting relating to the allowance for loan and lease losses through a series
of remedial actions undertaken since the identification of the material
weakness.

    (1) SunTrust presents a return on average assets less net unrealized gains
        on securities.  The foregoing numbers reflect primarily adjustments
        to remove the effects of the Company's securities portfolio which
        includes the ownership by the Company of 48.3 million shares of
        The Coca-Cola Company.  The Company uses this information internally
        to gauge its actual performance in the industry. The Company believes
        that the return on average assets less the net unrealized securities
        gains is more indicative of the Company's return on assets because it
        more accurately reflects the return on the assets that are related to
        the Company's core businesses which are primarily customer
        relationship and customer transaction driven.  The return on average
        assets less net unrealized gains on securities is computed by dividing
        annualized net income, excluding securities gains/losses and The Coca-
        Cola Company dividend, by average assets less net unrealized
        securities gains.
    (2) The Company also believes that the return on average realized equity
        is more indicative of the Company's return on equity because the
        excluded equity relates primarily to a long term holding of a specific
        security.  The return on average realized shareholders' equity is
        computed by  dividing annualized net income, excluding securities
        gains/losses and The Coca-Cola Company dividend, by average realized
        shareholders' equity.
    (3) SunTrust presents total noninterest income and total revenue excluding
        realized securities gains and losses and the net gain on the sale of
        RCM assets.  The Company believes total noninterest income and total
        revenue without securities gains and losses is more indicative of the
        Company's performance because it isolates income that is primarily
        customer relationship and customer transaction driven.  SunTrust
        further excludes the net gain on the sale of RCM assets because the
        Company believes the exclusion of the net gain is more indicative of
        normalized operations.
    (4) Multiply by 4 to calculate sequential annualized growth or reductions
        discussed in the earnings call.

    (1) SunTrust presents selected financial data on an operating basis that
        excludes merger charges, which represent incremental costs to
        integrate NCF's operations.  The Company also presents selected
        financial data on an adjusted operating basis, which further excludes
        the net gain related to the sale of RCM assets.  The Company believes
        the exclusion of these two measures is more reflective of normalized
        operations.
    (2) Computed by dividing annualized operating net income by average total
        assets.
    (3) Computed by dividing annualized operating net income by average total
        shareholders' equity.

    (1) Multiply percentage change by 4 to calculate sequential annualized
        change.  Any sequential annualized change over 100 percent is labeled
        as "NM." Those changes over 100 percent were not considered to be
        meaningful.
    (2) Includes service charges on deposits, card and other charges and fees.
    (3) Includes retail investment services, investment banking income and
        trading account profits and commissions.
    (4) SunTrust presents noninterest income before securities (losses)/gains
        and the net gain on the sale of RCM assets. The Company believes
        noninterest income before securities gains and losses is more
        indicative of the Company's performance because it isolates income
        that is primarily customer relationship and customer transaction
        driven.  SunTrust further excludes the net gain on the sale of RCM
        assets because the Company believes the exclusion of the net gain
        provides better comparability and is more indicative of normalized
        operations.
    (5) The Company presents noninterest expense before amortization of
        intangible assets and merger expense.  The Company believes the
        exclusion of these measures provides better comparability and is more
        reflective of normalized operations.
    (6) SunTrust's average nonaccrual and restructured loans are included in
        the respective categories to conform to the NCF presentation.
    (7) Includes consumer direct and consumer indirect loans.

        adjustments resulting from the April 22, 2005 NCF systems conversion.

    (1) Includes service charges on deposits, card and other charges and fees.
    (2) Includes retail investment services, investment banking income and
        trading account profits and commissions.
    (3) SunTrust presents noninterest income before securities (losses)/gains
        and the net gain on the sale of RCM assets.
        The Company believes noninterest income before securities gains and
        losses is more indicative of the Company's performance because it
        isolates income that is primarily customer relationship and customer
        transaction driven.  SunTrust further excludes the net gain on the
        sale of RCM assets because the Company believes the exclusion of the
        net gain provides better comparability and is more indicative of
        normalized operations.
    (4) The Company presents noninterest expense before amortization of
        intangible assets and merger expense.  The Company believes the
        exclusion of these measures provides better comparability and is more
        reflective of normalized operations.
    (5) NCF's FTE adjustments were reduced $4.4 million and $9.1 million from
        the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively, to
        conform to SunTrust's methodology.
    (6) SunTrust's average nonaccrual and restructured loans are included in
        the respective categories to conform to the NCF presentation.
    (7) Includes consumer direct and consumer indirect loans.

    (1) As a result of the NCF systems conversion on April 22, 2005, SunTrust
        presents consolidated average balances on an adjusted basis for both
        loans and deposits.  The Company believes these adjusted measures
        provide a better comparison between reporting periods and are more
        indicative of true loan and deposit fluctuations.  The adjustments
        represent reclassifications due to account mapping changes resulting
        from the systems conversion.
    (2) Multiply percentage change by 4 to calculate sequential annualized
        change.  Any sequential annualized change over 100 percent is labeled
        as "NM." Those changes over 100 percent were not considered to be
        meaningful.
