SunTrust Reports Third Quarter Earnings of $0.88 Per Share

Company Says Resiliency Underscored by Continued Profitability and Improved
                              Capital Position

    ATLANTA, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE:
STI) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $307.3
million for the third quarter of 2008, or $0.88 per average common diluted
share, compared to $412.6 million, or $1.18 per average common diluted
share, in the third quarter of 2007. The challenging credit environment
continued to have an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance
as evidenced by the increase in net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and
credit-related expenses.

    "SunTrust's continued profitability and improved capital position not
only underscore our resiliency in a quarter marked by unprecedented
industry turmoil, but also serve as a realistic basis for our confidence
that we will continue to manage successfully -- albeit not unscathed --
through the challenges that our industry clearly will face in the period
ahead," said James M. Wells III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "We also believe that there will be attractive growth
opportunities for SunTrust in the near future. With that in mind, we will
continue to take the steps necessary for us to be able to capitalize on
those opportunities."

    Mr. Wells said the potential impact of economic weakness on credit
quality remains "near-term concern number one" for SunTrust even though the
Company has been seeing some "signs of slowing credit deterioration." Mr.
Wells said charge-offs, which were in line with expectations in the third
quarter, are likely to remain at elevated levels into 2009.

    "We are managing our credit risk profile very carefully to minimize the
impact of further deterioration in the economy," said Mr. Wells. "However,
we have all seen how quickly things can change in this environment. As a
result, we do not believe it prudent or responsible to try to predict the
ultimate path of the economy and the resulting impact on asset quality and
earnings." Mr. Wells noted that the Company's Board of Directors has
authorized an application for the sale of preferred stock to the U.S.
Treasury under the TARP program, and also that the Company continues to
evaluate its capital structure and dividend policy. Mr. Wells said he
expects the evaluation to be completed "in short order" with any decisions
communicated promptly.

    Mr. Wells pointed out that despite the current industry turmoil,
SunTrust's 30,000 employees remain "steadily focused every day on building
our business, serving our current customers, and attracting new ones who
find SunTrust's relative strength and stability a distinct competitive
advantage in these uncertain times."

    SunTrust's previously announced capital enhancing transactions were
completed during the quarter and the results are reflected in the Company's
capital ratios. Estimated Tier 1 capital at September 30, 2008 is a healthy
8.15%, up 68 basis points from 7.47% at June 30, 2008. The total capital
ratio also increased and now exceeds 11%. In addition, the Company reported
total average equity to total average assets of 10.34%, and a tangible
equity to tangible asset ratio of 6.40% which is one of the highest ratios
among large banks.


Third Quarter 2008 Consolidated Highlights 3rd Quarter 3rd Quarter % 2008 2007 Change Income Statement (Dollars in millions, except per share data) Net income available to common shareholders $307.3 $412.6 (25.5)% Net income per average common diluted share 0.88 1.18 (25.4)% Revenue - fully taxable-equivalent 2,460.9 2,038.4 20.7% Net interest income - fully taxable- equivalent 1,175.7 1,219.2 (3.6)% Provision for loan losses 503.7 147.0 242.6% Noninterest income 1,285.2 819.1 56.9% Noninterest expense 1,668.1 1,291.2 29.2% Net interest margin 3.07% 3.18% Efficiency ratio 67.78% 63.35% Balance Sheet (Dollars in billions) Average loans $125.6 $119.6 5.1% Average consumer and commercial deposits 100.2 96.7 3.6% Capital Tier 1 capital ratio(1) 8.15% 7.44% Total average shareholders' equity to total average assets 10.34% 10.05% Tangible equity to tangible assets 6.40% 6.36% Asset Quality Net charge-offs to average loans (annualized) 1.24% 0.34% Nonperforming loans to total loans 2.60% 0.81% (1) Current period Tier 1 capital ratio is estimated as of the earnings release date. -- Net income per average common diluted share decreased 25.4% from the third quarter of 2007 primarily due to higher provision for loan losses, higher credit-related expenses, the recognition of losses related to an agreement in principle to purchase certain auction rate securities ("ARS"), and valuation losses on trading assets. These impacts were partially offset by net valuation gains on the Company's publicly traded debt and related hedges carried at fair value and the gain on the sale of a non-strategic subsidiary. -- The third quarter of 2008 results included a number of gains and losses that were a function of the current environment. Items that positively impacted the reported results included mark-to-market gains on the Company's public debt and related hedges of $0.60 per share, a gain on the sale of TransPlatinum, the Company's fuel card and fleet management subsidiary, of $0.14 per share, and the tax benefit from the contribution of 3.6 million shares of The Coca-Cola Company ("Coke") to the Company's charitable foundation of $0.20 per share. Items that negatively impacted reported results included an expected market valuation write-down of ARS of $0.31 per share and net mark-to-market losses on trading assets and loan warehouses of $0.24 per share. -- Fully taxable-equivalent revenue increased 20.7% compared to the third quarter of 2007, as the gain recognized on the charitable contribution of Coke shares, positive net market valuation impacts, the gain on the sale of TransPlatinum, and core fee income growth more than offset a decline in net interest income. -- Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income declined 3.6% from the third quarter of 2007 and was essentially flat compared to the prior quarter. Net interest margin declined 6 basis points during the quarter and 11 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2007 due to the detrimental impact of higher nonperforming loans, declining interest rates, and a shift in loan and deposit mix. -- Noninterest income increased 56.9% from the third quarter of 2007, driven by securities gains related to the contribution of Coke stock to the Company's charitable foundation, mark-to-market valuation gains on the Company's public debt and related hedges, the gain from the sale of a non-strategic business, and double digit growth in service charges, card fees, mortgage-related income, and investment banking fees. Partially offsetting these increases were the reduction in trust and investment management income, the expected market valuation write-down of ARS, and mark-to-market losses on trading assets and loan warehouses. -- Noninterest expense increased 29.2% from the third quarter of 2007, driven by increased credit-related expenses, the expense related to the tax-free contribution of the Coke stock to the Company's charitable foundation, and an increase in estimated VISA-related litigation liability. Core operating expenses, excluding credit-related expenses, remained well controlled as a result of the Company's efficiency and productivity efforts. -- Provision for income taxes for the quarter was a net benefit of $52.8 million primarily related to the tax-free contribution of the Coke stock, as well as lower taxable income. -- Total average loans increased 5.1% from the third quarter of 2007 principally due to growth in the commercial loan portfolio. Average loans held for sale declined 54.3%, as mortgage loan originations declined 35.5% and efficiency in loan delivery improved. Average consumer and commercial deposits increased 3.6% over the third quarter of 2007. The increase was driven mainly by growth in NOW and money market account balances. -- The estimated Tier 1 capital, total average shareholders' equity to total average assets, and tangible equity to tangible asset ratios were 8.15%, 10.34%, and 6.40%, respectively. -- Annualized quarterly net charge-offs were 1.24% of average loans for the third quarter of 2008, up from 0.34% in the third quarter of 2007 and 1.04% in the second quarter of 2008. The increase reflects deterioration in consumer residential real estate and residential construction loans. -- Nonperforming loans to total loans increased to 2.60% as of September 30, 2008, from 2.09% as of June 30, 2008, and 0.81% as of September 30, 2007, due mainly to increased levels of nonperforming residential real estate and construction loans.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Revenue Fully taxable-equivalent revenue was $2,460.9 million for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 20.7% compared to the third quarter of 2007, driven by the securities gains from the contribution of the Coke stock, mark to market valuation gains on the Company's public debt and related hedges carried at fair value, and increased fee income. These items were partially offset by a 3.6% decline in net interest income, a decline in trust and investment management income, and the expected market valuation write-down of ARS. For the nine months, fully taxable-equivalent revenue was $7,284.2 million, up 12.4% over prior year. The increase was driven by incremental net securities gains of $424.8 million, gains from the sale of non-strategic businesses and the sale/leaseback of certain corporate real estate properties, the Visa IPO gain, net positive mark-to-market valuations, and increased fee income from the Company's core businesses. These contributions to growth were partially offset by lower net interest income, trust and investment management income, and the write-down related to ARS. Net Interest Income Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1,175.7 million in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 3.6% from the third quarter of 2007. Net interest margin declined 11 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2007. On a sequential quarter basis, net interest margin declined 6 basis points. The decline in net interest income was primarily due to the increase in nonaccrual loans, a reduction in Coke and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") dividend income, LIBOR rate volatility during September in particular, and lower interest income associated with a small increase in the Company's leverage lease ("LILO") reserves. While earning assets remained essentially flat over the past twelve months, higher yielding assets, such as loans held for sale, have declined and lower yielding assets, such as commercial loans, have increased. Lower rates on customer and wholesale deposits, as well as growth in customer deposits, helped offset the decline in interest income. For the nine months, fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $3,528.5 million, a decline of 2.7% from 2007 while net interest margin was relatively flat. Balance sheet management strategies initiated in 2007 led to a $3.8 billion, or 2.5%, decline in average earning assets, namely loans held for sale, real estate construction loans, and interest-earning trading assets, which was partially offset by growth in commercial loans. Noninterest Income Total noninterest income was $1,285.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, up 56.9% from the third quarter of 2007. The third quarter of 2008 included the gain from the contribution of Coke stock of $183.4 million to a charitable foundation and a $81.8 million gain on the sale of TransPlatinum, a fuel card and fleet management subsidiary, as well as mark-to-market valuation gains on the Company's public debt and related hedges of $341.0 million versus a mark-to-market valuation gain of $63.0 million in the third quarter of 2007. The gains on the Company's public debt related to the widening in credit spreads across the entire financial institutions sector as a result of the global credit crisis. When stability in debt markets returns, spreads are expected to tighten, and, if this occurs, then these valuation gains will reverse. The third quarter of 2008 also included $172.8 million of expected losses related to ARS and $136.9 million in mark-to-market losses on illiquid trading securities and loan warehouses compared to $220.5 million in mark-to-market losses in the third quarter of 2007. The fair value of the illiquid securities acquired in the fourth quarter of 2007 declined to approximately $350 million, from approximately $770 million as of June 30, 2008, primarily due to sales during the third quarter. This reduction was partially offset by the purchase in the third quarter of 2008 of a $70 million par value bond from an affiliated money market mutual fund. As of September 30, 2008, the fair value of this bond was $6.5 million. The expected loss related to auction rate securities was recognized in trading account profits and commissions as a result of the Company's decision to offer to purchase ARS from certain clients and includes approximately $5 million in regulatory fines. The par value of the securities the Company will offer to purchase is approximately $725 million. Approximately $625 million of these securities are government sponsored securities or securities where the issuer has indicated support of the underlying assets. The remaining $100 million of securities pertains to a senior tranche within a securitization of trust preferred securities. We believe that the bulk of this write-down relates to liquidity and duration risks not the ultimate collectability of estimated cash flows. The majority of these securities are expected to be purchased in the fourth quarter. Mortgage production income was $50.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2007. Lower loan production and related fees in 2008 were offset by a significant reduction in valuation losses recorded in the third quarter of 2007 on the Alt-A loans held in the warehouse. Mortgage servicing related income in the third quarter of 2008 increased primarily due to higher servicing fee income driven by growth in the servicing portfolio from $149.9 billion as of September 30, 2007 to $159.3 billion as of September 30, 2008. On a sequential quarter basis, servicing income increased primarily due to a $19.0 million gain on sale of excess servicing rights. In the third quarter of 2008, the Company experienced strong growth in service charges on deposit accounts and card fees, which increased 12.3% and 10.9%, respectively, over the same period of 2007. Investment banking income grew 30.4%, related to increased loan syndication and capital markets activity; however, trust and investment income declined 15.8%, reflecting the sale of certain trust related businesses earlier in 2008 and lower fee income attributable to the decline in the equity markets. Trading account profits and commissions includes the mark-to-market valuation adjustments on financial instruments carried at fair value including the Company's publicly-traded debt and related hedges carried at fair value and the ARS expected loss. Securities gains included the $183.4 million gain from the contribution of Coke shares, partially offset by a $10.3 million charge for other-than-temporary impairment of certain securities available for sale. For the nine months, total noninterest income was $3,755.7 million, which was 31.7% over the same period of 2007. The increase was largely due to the following transaction-related gains:
-- $497.4 million incremental gain on the sale and contribution of Coke stock -- $57.1 million incremental gain on sale of Lighthouse interests -- $37.0 million gain on the sale/leaseback of corporate real estate -- $81.8 million gain on the sale of TransPlatinum -- $29.6 million gain on sale of First Mercantile Trust -- $86.3 million gain recorded on the Visa IPO Partially offsetting these gains was the expected market valuation write-down of $172.8 million related to ARS and securities losses recorded primarily in the first and third quarters of 2008 totaling $75.1 million in conjunction with available-for-sale securities that were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired. For the first nine months of 2008, SunTrust experienced solid growth in most noninterest income categories, including service charges on deposits accounts, up $82.6 million, other fees up, $28.4 million, card fees up, $27.2 million, investment banking income up, $18.7 million, and retail investment income up, $12.5 million. Trading account profits and commissions increased $24.6 million over the first nine months of 2007 as positive mark-to-market gains on the Company's public debt net of related hedges exceeded mark-to-market losses on illiquid securities during 2008, as compared to net mark-to-market losses during 2007. Mortgage production income increased 190.1% over the first nine months of 2007 due to the recognition of servicing value at the time of the interest rate lock commitment in accordance with recently adopted accounting standards, partially offset by a decline in loan production. The prior period also included the impact of mortgage spread widening related to Alt-A loans held in the mortgage loan warehouse, which have been substantially eliminated, and $42.2 million of income reductions recorded in conjunction with our adoption of specific fair value accounting standards. Drivers behind changes in other components of noninterest income categories were consistent with those impacting the third quarter. Noninterest Expense Total noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2008 was $1,668.1 million, up 29.2% from the third quarter of 2007. Almost half of the increase was related to the $183.4 million contribution of Coke stock to our charitable foundation recognized in marketing and customer development. The majority of the remaining increase was due to credit-related expenses, which increased $178.2 million over the third quarter of 2007. Credit-related expenses include fraud losses primarily related to borrower misrepresentations on mortgage loan documentation, other real estate losses, credit and collection costs, and additions to mortgage insurance reserves. Additionally, SunTrust increased its estimate of future liability related to VISA litigation by $20 million as a result of a tentative settlement. Excluding the charitable contribution, VISA litigation, and credit-related items, expenses were well controlled as a result of the Company's E2 Efficiency and Productivity Program, which through the third quarter 2008 has generated gross savings of approximately $397 million. Personnel expenses in the third quarter of 2008 increased 2.7% from the same period in 2007. Salaries declined $8.6 million from the third quarter of 2007, reflecting a reduction of approximately 3,500 full time equivalent employees since September 30, 2007 to 29,447 as of quarter end 2008. The increase in personnel expense is due primarily to the annual issuance of restricted stock, and in the third quarter of 2007, a year-to-date downward adjustment to incentive accruals. Other expenses in the third quarter of 2007 included a $45.0 million accrual for severance costs related to the E2 program and a $9.8 million debt extinguishment charge, partially offset by a $33.6 million reduction of the accrued liability related to a capital instrument. On a sequential quarter basis, the increase in outside processing was substantially offset by the decrease in employee compensation and benefits due to the outsourcing of certain back-office operations in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months, total noninterest expense was $4,301.8 million, an increase of 13.9% over the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased credit-related costs of $290.7 million, the contribution of Coke stock of $183.4 million, and the mortgage origination costs that were previously deferred prior to the Company's election during the second quarter of 2007 to record at fair value certain newly originated mortgage loans held-for-sale. Income Taxes The Company recognized a benefit for income taxes of $52.8 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a provision for income taxes of $152.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in income taxes was due to lower taxable income and the recognition of a $68.5 million tax benefit from the charitable contribution of 3.6 million Coke shares. Balance Sheet As of September 30, 2008, SunTrust had total assets of $174.8 billion. Shareholders' equity of $18.0 billion as of September 30, 2008 represented 10.27% of total assets. Book value and tangible book value per common share were $49.32 and $30.27 as of September 30, 2008, respectively. Loans Average loans for the third quarter of 2008 were $125.6 billion, up $6.1 billion, or 5.1%, from the third quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily in commercial-related categories. Average construction loans declined $3.2 billion, or 23.3%, due to the Company's efforts to reduce its exposure to construction loans and the transfer to nonaccrual loans. Indirect auto loans declined $0.8 billion, or 10.2%, driven by SunTrust's de-emphasis of this business. Average loans held-for-sale also declined $5.3 billion, or 54.3%, as loan originations declined 35.5%, production shifted to predominantly agency products, and efficiency improved in loan delivery. On a sequential quarter basis, total average loans increased slightly with the product trends remaining consistent. Deposits Average consumer and commercial deposits for the third quarter of 2008 were $100.2 billion, up $3.5 billion, or 3.6%, from the third quarter of 2007, as increases in NOW and money market deposits were partially offset by declines in demand deposit and savings account balances. Average brokered deposits declined $5.1 billion, or 32.3%, from the third quarter of 2007 as consumer and commercial interest bearing deposits increased $4.1 billion. On a sequential quarter basis, total average deposits decreased $0.8 billion, or 0.7%, driven by reductions in most deposit categories. The decline in average balances was driven largely by decreases experienced in July and August, as September reversed this trend with growing balances, particularly in the later part of the month. Capital The estimated Tier 1 capital, total average shareholders' equity to total average assets, and tangible equity to tangible assets ratios at September 30, 2008 were 8.15%, 10.34%, and 6.40%, respectively. This compares to 7.44%, 10.05%, and 6.36% at September 30, 2007 and 7.47%, 10.31%, and 6.27% at June 30, 2008. The increases are primarily attributable to completion of the Coke transactions. The Company's regulatory capital ratios are significantly in excess of the regulatory requirements for well capitalized status. Asset Quality Nonaccrual loans were $3,289.5 million, or 2.60%, of total loans as of September 30, 2008, compared to $2,625.3 million, or 2.09%, of total loans as of June 30, 2008 and $974.8 million, or 0.81%, of total loans as of September 30, 2007. The increase in nonaccrual loans was mainly due to an increase in real estate construction loans and residential mortgages, as the overall weakening of the housing markets and economy continued to increase delinquencies. Other real estate owned also increased $52.5 million, or 15.7%, to $387.0 million, as the Company foreclosed on the collateral securing specific nonperforming loans. Restructured loans still accruing interest increased $217.7 million to $381.0 million as a result of actions the Company is proactively taking to mitigate further losses and enable borrowers to repay their loans under revised terms that in the long run preserve the value of the Company's interests. Annualized quarterly net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2008 were 1.24% of average loans, up from 0.34% in the third quarter of 2007 and 1.04% in the second quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs were $392.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $322.7 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $103.7 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in net charge-offs over the third quarter of 2007 reflects the deterioration in consumer credit and home values, particularly in residential real estate secured loans. The increase in net charge-offs in 2008 has been most pronounced in home equity lines, residential mortgages, and construction loans as home values continued to fall. The provision for loan losses increased to $503.7 million compared to $448.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $147.0 million in the third quarter of 2007. The allowance for loan and lease losses was $1,941.0 million as of September 30, 2008 and represented 1.54% of period-end loans. Since year-end 2007, the allowance to loans outstanding has increased 49 basis points, as the deterioration in certain segments of the consumer and residential real estate market continued. The allowance for loan and lease losses as of September 30, 2008 represented 1.24 times annualized net charge-offs in the quarter and 62.1% of period-end nonperforming loans. LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The following discussion details results for SunTrust's four business lines: Retail and Commercial Banking, Wholesale Banking, Mortgage, and Wealth and Investment Management. In 2007, the Company reported five business segments. All revenue is reported on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. For the lines of business, results include net interest income, which is computed using matched-maturity funds transfer pricing. Further, provision for loan losses is represented by net charge-offs. SunTrust also reports results for Corporate Other and Treasury, which includes the Treasury department, as well as the residual expense associated with operational and support expense allocations. This segment also includes differences created between internal management accounting practices and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, certain matched-maturity funds transfer pricing credits and charges, differences in loan loss provision compared to net charge-offs, as well as equity and its related impact. Retail and Commercial Banking Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Retail and Commercial Banking net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $64.7 million, a decrease of $138.1 million, or 68.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of higher provision expense due to home equity line and commercial net charge-offs, lower deposit related net interest income and higher credit and fraud related noninterest expense, partially offset by strong growth in service charges on deposits. Net interest income decreased $51.6 million, or 7.3%, driven by a shift in deposit mix and compressed spreads due to increased competition for deposits. Average deposits increased $0.9 billion, or 1.1%, while deposit spreads decreased 18 basis points resulting in a $32.8 million decrease in net interest income. Low cost demand deposit and savings accounts decreased a combined $1.3 billion, or 6.7%, primarily in commercial demand deposits while higher cost NOW and money market accounts increased a combined $2.6 billion, or 7.4%. Certificates of deposit and IRA accounts dropped $0.4 billion, or 1.7%, although spreads increased slightly. Net interest income from loans decreased $11.8 million as average loan balances declined $0.5 billion, or 1.0%. Average loan balances declined approximately $2.2 billion related to the migration of middle market clients from the Retail and Commercial line of business to Wholesale Banking. This decline was substantially offset by loan growth from the GB&T acquisition, commercial loans, equity lines, and student loans. Provision for loan losses increased $151.1 million over the same period in 2007. The provision increase was most pronounced in home equity lines, reflecting deterioration in the residential real estate market, and commercial loans, primarily to clients with annual revenue of less then $5 million. Total noninterest income increased $30.2 million, or 9.4%, from the third quarter of 2007. This increase was driven primarily by a $22.1 million, or 11.6%, increase in service charges on deposit accounts from both consumer and business accounts primarily due to growth in the number of accounts, higher NSF rates and an increase in occurrences of NSF fees. Interchange fees increased $7.4 million, or 14.6%, and ATM revenue increased $3.0 million, or 10.1%. Total noninterest expense increased $47.1 million, or 7.4%, from the third quarter of 2007. This increase was driven primarily by higher credit related expenses including operating losses due to fraud, shared corporate overhead expense, and continued investment in the branch distribution network. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Retail and Commercial Banking net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $283.0 million, a decrease of $329.5 million, or 53.8%, compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of higher provision expense due to home equity line net charge-offs, lower net interest income related to deposit spreads and higher credit-related noninterest expense, partially offset by strong growth in service charges on deposits. Net interest income decreased $201.4 million, or 9.4%, driven by a continued shift in deposit mix and decreased spreads as deposit competition and the interest rate environment encouraged customers to migrate into higher yielding interest-bearing deposits. Average deposit balances increased $0.4 billion, or 0.5%, while deposit spreads decreased 30 basis points resulting in a $172.7 million decrease in net interest income. Low cost demand deposit and savings accounts decreased a combined $1.9 billion, or 9.4%, driven by a decrease in commercial demand, while higher cost NOW and money market accounts increased a combined $2.4 billion, or 7.0%. Net interest income from loans decreased $21.8 million, or 2.8%, as average loan balances declined $0.4 billion, or 0.8%. The transfer of middle market clients to the Wholesale Banking line of business decreased loans by approximately $2.1 billion and was partially offset by loans acquired in the GB&T acquisition and growth in commercial loans, equity lines and student loans. Provision for loan losses increased $409.0 million over the same period in 2007. The provision increase was most pronounced in home equity lines, indirect auto, as well as in commercial loans primarily to clients with annual revenue of less then $5 million. Total noninterest income increased $101.6 million, or 11.0%, over the same period in 2007. This increase was driven primarily by a $69.2 million, or 13.0%, increase in service charges on both consumer and business deposit accounts, primarily due to growth in the number of accounts, higher NSF rates and an increase in occurrences of NSF fees. Interchange fees increased $22.3 million, or 15.0%, while ATM revenue also increased $7.1 million, or 8.0%. Total noninterest expense increased $15.9 million, or 0.8%, from the same period in 2007. The continuing positive impact of expense savings initiatives was offset by higher credit-related expenses, including operating losses due to fraud, and continued investments in the branch distribution network. Wholesale Banking Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Wholesale Banking net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $42.1 million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 30.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2007. Lower mark-to-market trading losses and higher investment banking income was partially offset by higher incentive based compensation as well as decreased net interest income and increased provision expense. Net interest income decreased $10.8 million, or 7.6%. While average loan balances increased $5.2 billion, or 17.7%, the corresponding net interest income declined $13.1 million, or 11.4%. Approximately $2.2 billion of the increase is related to the migration of middle market clients from the Retail and Commercial line of business to the Wholesale Banking line of business. Average loans in the legacy Wholesale Banking line of business increased approximately $3.1 billion, or 10.5%, driven by growth from large corporate clients partially offset by reductions in the residential builder portfolio. The decline in loan related net interest income is due to a shift in mix away from higher spread residential construction loans to lower spread commercial loans, as well as increased residential construction nonaccrual loans. Total average deposits were up $4.0 billion, or 75.8%, primarily in higher cost corporate money market and Eurodollar accounts. The net interest income associated with the higher-cost deposit categories was relatively flat as the additional volume was offset by lower deposit spreads. Provision for loan losses was $32.3 million, an increase of $16.8 million, or 108.9%, from the same period in 2007. The increase resulted from higher residential builder-related charge-offs partially offset by lower charge-offs from large corporate clients. Total noninterest income increased $85.8 million, or 118.4%. Solid performance in loan syndications, fixed income sales, direct finance, equity offerings and leasing, as well as lower mark-to-market trading losses primarily related to structured products, were in part offset by lower revenues in bond origination and structured leasing. Total noninterest expense increased $24.2 million, or 13.5%. The migration of middle market clients accounted for approximately $6.7 million of the increase. The remainder of Wholesale Banking expenses increased $17.5 million, or 9.8%, driven primarily by higher incentive-based compensation primarily related to an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by lower Affordable Housing related and discretionary expenses. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Wholesale Banking net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $206.5 million, a decrease of $37.3 million, or 15.3%, compared to the same period in 2007. Lower mark-to-market trading losses were offset by reductions in private equity gains, higher incentive based compensation, as well as decreased net interest income and increased provision expense. Net interest income decreased $26.3 million, or 6.1%. Average loan balances increased $4.4 billion, or 15.1%, while the corresponding net interest income declined $23.2 million, or 6.7%. Approximately $2.1 billion of the loan increase is related to the migration of middle market clients from the Retail and Commercial line of business to the Wholesale Banking line of business. Average loans in the legacy Wholesale line of business increased $2.3 billion, or 8.0%, driven by increased corporate banking loans which were partially offset by reductions in the residential builder portfolio. The decline in net interest income is due to a shift in mix away from higher spread residential construction loans to lower spread commercial loans and increased residential construction nonaccrual loans. Total average deposits were up $4.1 billion, or 82.4%, primarily in higher cost corporate money market and Eurodollar accounts. The associated net interest income decreased $5.5 million driven by the lower credit for funds on demand deposits. The net interest income associated with the higher-cost deposit categories was relatively flat as the additional volume was offset by the lower deposit spreads. Provision for loan losses was $55.6 million, an increase of $21.7 million, or 64.1%, from the same period in 2007, resulting from higher residential builder related charge-offs partially offset by lower charge-offs in corporate banking. Total noninterest income increased $49.8 million, or 10.7%. Lower mark-to-market trading losses mainly affecting structured products was the main driver of the increase. Solid performance in loan syndications, fixed income and equity sales and trading, equity offerings and leasing were, in part, offset by a reduction in private equity gains and lower revenues in structured leasing, derivatives and M&A advisory. Total noninterest expense increased $38.6 million, or 6.8%. The transfer of middle market clients accounted for approximately $19.7 million of the increase. The remainder of Wholesale Banking's expense increased $18.9 million, or 3.4%, driven primarily by higher incentive-based compensation primarily related to a 45% increase in Capital Markets noninterest income. In addition, higher outside processing and credit services expenses were partially offset by lower Affordable Housing, personnel, and discretionary expenses. Mortgage Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Mortgage reported a net loss of $156.1 million for the third quarter of 2008, a $143.6 million higher loss compared with the third quarter of 2007. The larger net loss was principally due to higher credit-related costs. Net interest income declined $23.5 million, or 18.0%. Average loans increased $1.0 billion, or 3.4%, while net interest income on loans declined $19.9 million, or 22.8%. This decline was principally due to a $1.2 billion increase in average nonaccrual loans which resulted in $12.1 million of the net interest income decline. Additionally, average consumer mortgage and residential construction loans declined $0.3 billion resulting in a net interest income decline of $7.4 million. Also contributing to the decrease was a $4.0 million decline in net interest income on deposits primarily related to a lower credit for funds on demand deposits. Provision for loan losses increased $113.1 million over the $11.7 million recorded in the third quarter of 2007 due to higher residential mortgage and residential construction net charge-offs. Total noninterest income increased $38.5 million, or 42.8%. Mortgage production income increased $29.6 million, or 148.4%. Total loan production of $8.1 billion was down $4.5 billion, or 35.5%; however, valuation losses due to spread widening in the mortgage market were lower in 2008 and offset the negative effect of lower loan production. Servicing income increased $5.8 million, or 10.2%. Higher service fees due to a larger servicing portfolio were only partially offset by higher Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSR") amortization. Total loans serviced at September 30, 2008 were $159.3 billion compared with $149.9 billion at September 30, 2007. Total noninterest expense increased $129.7 million, or 55.0%. Operating losses increased $71.6 million principally driven by fraud related to borrower misrepresentation, while reserves for mortgage reinsurance losses increased $47.9 million. Other real estate and collection services expenses increased $38.1 million. Commission expense was down $19.5 million due to lower loan production as were other origination-related expenses. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Mortgage reported a net loss of $276.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $312.7 million compared to net income of $35.9 million reported in the same period in 2007 principally due to credit-related costs and lower servicing income. Net interest income declined $33.2 million, or 8.4%. Average loans increased $1.0 billion, or 3.2%, while the resulting net interest income declined $48.2 million. This decline was principally due to a $1.1 billion increase in average nonaccrual loans which contributed $32.6 million to the decline in net interest income. Additionally, the changing mix in portfolio assets drove an income decline of $15.5 million, as declining construction perm and Alt A balances were replaced with lower yielding prime first lien mortgages. Average deposits increased $0.1 billion, or 5.1%, while the resulting net interest income decreased $6.4 million due primarily to lower funds credit for demand deposits. Partially offsetting the decline was higher income from loans held for sale of $26.7 million due to wider spreads and higher income from mortgage-backed securities of $19.4 million. Provision for loan losses increased $316.1 million, to $351.1 million from $35.0 million, due to higher residential mortgage and residential construction net charge-offs. Total noninterest income increased $103.9 million, or 39.1%. Total loan production of $29.2 billion was down $16.2 billion, or 35.7%, from the prior year. While production income was negatively affected by lower loan production, total production income increased $138.9 million, or 200.9%, due to lower valuation losses resulting from spread widening in the mortgage market in 2008 and recognition of loan origination fees resulting from the Company's election to record certain mortgage loans at fair value beginning in May 2007. Servicing income was down principally due to higher MSR amortization and hedge costs and lower gains on sale of mortgage servicing assets. These declines were partially offset by higher service fees due to a larger servicing portfolio. Total loans serviced at September 30, 2008 were $159.3 billion compared with $149.9 billion at September 30, 2007. Total noninterest expense increased $254.5 million, or 43.5%. Operating losses increased $101.8 million principally driven by fraud related to borrower misrepresentation. Reserves for mortgage reinsurance losses increased $79.8 million while other real estate expense and collection services expense increased $70.8 million. Additionally, the recognition of loan origination costs resulting from the Company's election to record certain mortgage loans at fair value beginning in May 2007 increased noninterest expense compared with the prior year. These increases were partially offset by lower commission expense which was down $58.7 million due to lower loan production. Wealth and Investment Management Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Wealth and Investment Management's net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $4.4 million, a decrease of $56.8 million, or 92.8%. The decline in net income was primarily the result of a mark-to-market loss on a single security. In September 2008, the Company purchased $70 million of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") bonds, at par, from the RidgeWorth Prime Quality Money Market Fund in order to protect SunTrust clients from possible losses associated with Lehman's default. Subsequent to purchase, a $63.5 million pre-tax mark-to-market loss was recorded reflecting the fair value as of September 30, 2008. Net interest income decreased $3.1 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to compressed spreads on loans and deposits. Average deposits were down 0.3% and net interest income declined $1.6 million, or 2.9%, primarily related to a lower credit for funds on demand deposits. Average loans increased $0.4 billion, or 4.7%, driven by a $240.7 million increase in commercial loans. However, the increase in balances was offset by decreased spreads in both the consumer and commercial portfolios resulting in a $2.3 million decrease in net interest income. Provision for loan losses increased $7.2 million primarily due to higher home equity, consumer direct, and consumer mortgage net charge-offs. Total noninterest income decreased $96.7 million, or 37.4%, driven by the $63.5 million mark-to-market loss on the Lehman bonds and the sale of Lighthouse Partners and First Mercantile Trust. Retail investment income increased $0.9 million, or 1.3%, due to higher annuity sales and recurring managed account fees. Trust income decreased $27.5 million, or 15.7%, primarily due to lower revenue streams stemming from the sale of Lighthouse Partners and First Mercantile Trust and lower market valuations on managed equity assets. As of September 30, 2008, assets under management were approximately $129.5 billion compared to $142.9 billion as of September 30, 2007. Assets under management include individually managed assets, the RidgeWorth Funds, institutional assets managed by RidgeWorth Capital Management, and participant-directed retirement accounts. SunTrust's total assets under advisement were approximately $218.3 billion, which includes $129.5 billion in assets under management, $51.4 billion in non-managed trust assets, $35.9 billion in retail brokerage assets, and $1.7 billion in non-managed corporate trust assets. Total noninterest expense decreased $17.5 million, or 7.1%, driven by lower staff and discretionary expenses, as well as lower structural expense resulting from the sale of Lighthouse Partners and First Mercantile Trust. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Wealth and Investment Management's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $153.3 million, a decrease of $30.5 million, or 16.6%, from the prior year. The following transactions represented $13.6 million of the year-over-year decline: -- $39.4 million decrease due to the after-tax impact of the mark-to-market loss on Lehman bonds. -- $55.4 million increase due to the after-tax gain on sale of a minority interest in Lighthouse Investment Partners in the first quarter of 2008. -- $18.4 million increase due to the after-tax gain on the sale of First Mercantile Trust in the second quarter of 2008. -- $27.9 million decrease due to the after-tax impairment charge on a client-based intangible asset incurred in the second quarter of 2008. -- $20.1 million decrease due to the after-tax gain resulting from the sale upon merger of Lighthouse Partners into Lighthouse Investment Partners in the first quarter of 2007. Net interest income decreased $17.1 million, or 6.4%, primarily due to a shift in deposit mix to higher cost deposits. Average deposits were practically unchanged as declines in demand deposits and savings accounts were offset by increases in higher-cost NOW and money market accounts. This shift in deposit mix coupled with compressed spreads due to increased competition for deposits resulted in a $13.2 million decrease in net interest income. Average loans increased slightly as growth in commercial loans was partially offset by declines in higher spread consumer loans resulting in a $3.6 million decline in net interest income. Provision for loan losses increased $10.9 million, or 183.9%, driven by higher home equity, consumer direct, and consumer mortgage net charge-offs. Total noninterest income decreased $32.1 million, or 4.0%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 driven by the $63.5 million mark-to-market loss on Lehman bonds. This decline was partially offset by a $29.6 million gain on sale of First Mercantile Trust and $28.7 million of incremental revenue from the sale of our Lighthouse Partners investment. Retail investment income increased $9.6 million, or 4.7%, due to higher annuity sales and higher recurring managed account fees. Trust income decreased $48.0 million, or 9.4%, primarily due to the aforementioned sales of Lighthouse Partners and First Mercantile Trust which resulted in a $37.4 million decline in trust income. Total noninterest expense decreased $9.6 million, or 1.3%. This decline includes a $45.0 million impairment charge on a client based intangible incurred in the second quarter of 2008. Noninterest expense before intangible amortization declined $50.9 million, or 6.8%, driven by lower staff, discretionary, and indirect expenses, as well as lower structural expense resulting from the sales of Lighthouse Partners and First Mercantile Trust. Corporate Other and Treasury Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Corporate Other and Treasury's net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $357.4 million, an increase of $221.0 million, or 162.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2007. The increase was driven by the release of a deferred tax liability related to the charitable contribution of Coke stock, net positive valuations on long-term debt and related hedges carried at fair value, lower mark-to-market losses on trading securities and the gain on sale of the TransPlatinum subsidiary. These increases were partially offset by the expected market valuation write-down of auction rate securities and an increase in provision for loan losses. Net interest income increased $45.5 million, or 29.5%, over the same period in 2007 mainly due to interest risk management activities. Total average assets decreased $4.0 billion, or 17.6%, mainly due to the reduction in the size of the investment portfolio as part of the Company's overall balance sheet management strategy. Total average deposits decreased $6.7 billion, or 31.1%, mainly due to a decrease in brokered deposits, as the Company reduced its reliance on wholesale funding sources. Provision for loan losses, which predominantly represents the difference between consolidated provision for loan losses and net charge-offs for the lines of business, increased $68.4 million, or 157.8%, due to a higher increase in the Company's allowance for loan losses. Total noninterest income increased $408.3 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Of the increase, $278.0 million was driven by net valuation gains on publicly-traded debt. These net valuation gains are primarily due to the significant widening in credit spreads on the Company's publicly-traded debt and related hedges carried at fair value. There was also an increase of $177.7 million in securities gains primarily from the gain on the contribution of Coke stock and a gain of $81.8 million on sale of the TransPlatinum subsidiary. These increases were partially offset by the expected market valuation write-down of $172.8 million on auction rate securities. Total noninterest expense increased $193.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2007. The increase in expense was mainly due to a $183.4 million charitable contribution of Coke stock, and increase in the VISA related litigation liability. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. 2007 Corporate Other and Treasury's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $777.3 million, an increase of $230.5 million, or 42.1%, from the same period in 2007. The increase was driven by securities gains primarily related to the incremental gains on the sale and contribution of Coke stock, net valuation gains on the Company's publicly-traded debt and related hedges carried at fair value, and the gain on sale of the TransPlatinum subsidiary. These increases were partially offset by the expected market valuation write-down of auction rate securities, mark-to-market valuation losses on illiquid trading securities and provision for loan losses. Net interest income increased $178.9 million, or 45.7%, over the same period in 2007 mainly due to interest rate risk management activities. Total average assets decreased $6.1 billion, or 22.9%, mainly due to the reduction in the size of trading assets. Total average deposits decreased $9.4 billion, or 38.8%, mainly due to a decrease in brokered and foreign deposits as the Company reduced its reliance on wholesale funding sources. Provision for loan losses, which predominantly represents the difference between consolidated provision for loan losses and net charge-offs for the lines of business, increased $445.8 million in conjunction with an increase in the allowance for loan losses due primarily to expected deterioration in the residential real estate market and related loan credit quality. Total noninterest income increased $680.0 million compared to the same period in 2007 mainly due to a $497.4 increase in gains on the sale and contribution of Coke stock. Additionally, there was an $86.3 million gain on holdings of VISA in connection with its initial public offering, an $81.8 million gain on sale of TransPlatinum, and an additional $37.0 million gain from the sale/leaseback of real estate properties. Noninterest income also included an additional increase of $442.9 million of net positive mark-to-market valuations on the Company's public debt and related hedges carried at fair value. These valuations reflect the widening in the credit spreads on SunTrust's publicly-traded debt carried at fair value. These gains were partially offset by $176.6 million in net valuation losses on illiquid trading securities, an expected loss of $172.8 million on ARS, an $81.0 million decrease due to gains on trading assets and liabilities recorded in 2007 related to the Company's adoption of fair value, and a $58.4 million increase in securities losses during this period primarily driven by market value impairment related to certain asset-backed securities that were estimated to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Total noninterest expense increased $223.9 million from the same period in 2007. The increase in expense was mainly due to the $183.4 million charitable contribution of Coke stock, and an increase in the VISA related litigation liability.

(2) Amount removed from the allowance for loan losses related to the Company's election to record $4.1 billion of residential mortgages at fair value. (3) During the second quarter of 2008, the Company revised its method of calculating this ratio to include, within the period-end loan amount, only loans measured at amortized cost. Previously, period-end loans included loans measured at fair value or the lower of cost or market. The Company believes this is an improved method of calculation due to the fact that the allowance for loan losses relates solely to the loans measured at amortized cost. Loans measured at fair value or the lower of cost or market that have been excluded from the prior period calculation were $131,514, which did not change the calculation by more than one basis point as of September 30, 2007. (4) During the second quarter of 2008, the Company revised its method of calculating this ratio to include, within the nonperforming loan amount, only loans measured at amortized cost. Previously, this calculation included nonperforming loans measured at fair value or the lower of cost or market. The Company believes this is an improved method of calculation due to the fact that the allowance for loan losses relates solely to the loans measured at amortized cost. Nonperforming loans measured at fair value or the lower of cost or market that have been excluded from the prior period calculation were $129,962, which increased the calculation approximately 16 basis points as of September 30, 2007. (5) During the third quarter of 2008, the Company revised its definition of nonperforming to exclude loans that have been restructured and remain on accruing status. These loans are not considered to be nonperforming because they are performing in accordance with the restructured terms. This change better aligns the Company's definition of nonperforming loans with the one used by peer institutions and therefore improves comparability of this measure across the industry.

This transaction resulted in a $7.9 million decrease in existing intangible assets and a new intangible asset of $32.0 million. (2) This figure includes shares repurchased pursuant to SunTrust's employee stock option plans, pursuant to which participants may pay the exercise price upon exercise of SunTrust stock options by surrendering shares of SunTrust common stock which the participant already owns. (3) In August 2006, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $1 billion or 13,333,334 shares of the Company's Common Stock, under which authority the Company repurchased 9,926,589 shares during 2006 under an Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement ("ASR"). The 3,406,745 shares remaining under the August 2006 authorization, combined with 8,360,000 shares remaining under Board Authorization from April 2006, left the Company with authorization to repurchase up to 11,766,745 shares as of January 1, 2007. The Company completed the aforementioned ASR with the repurchase of 615,514 shares during the first quarter of 2007. During 2007, the Company entered into a second ASR, as announced in the Company's 8-K filing on June 7, 2007, by repurchasing 8,022,254 shares during the second quarter of 2007.

The foregoing numbers primarily reflect adjustments to remove the effects of the securities portfolio which includes the ownership by the Company of 30.0 million shares of The Coca-Cola Company as of September 30, 2008. 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, net of tax, by average assets less net unrealized securities gains. (2) The Company believes that the return on average realized common shareholders' equity is more indicative of the Company's return on equity because the excluded equity relates primarily to the holding of a specific security. The return on average realized common shareholders' equity is computed by dividing annualized net income available to common shareholders, excluding securities gains/losses and The Coca -Cola Company dividend, net of tax, by average realized common shareholders' equity. (3) Computed by dividing noninterest expense by total revenue - FTE. The efficiency ratios are presented on an FTE basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax- exempt sources. (4) SunTrust presents a tangible efficiency ratio which excludes the amortization/impairment of intangible assets other than MSRs. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by removing the effect of these intangible asset costs (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company's efficiency to other companies in the industry. This measure is utilized by management to assess the efficiency of the Company and its lines of business. (5) SunTrust presents a tangible equity to tangible assets ratio that excludes the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible assets. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company's capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. This measure is used by management to analyze capital adequacy. (6) SunTrust presents total revenue- FTE excluding realized securities (gains)/losses, net. The Company believes noninterest income without net securities (gains)/losses is more indicative of the Company's performance because it isolates income that is primarily customer relationship and customer transaction driven and is more indicative of normalized operations.
