Huntington Bancshares Reports Third Quarter 2002 Results

                    * Reported Earnings Per Share of $0.41
            * Operating Earnings Per Share of $0.34 Excluding Gain
                  * 11% Annualized Increase in Managed Loans
                  * 10% Annualized Increase in Core Deposits
                       * 3% Decline in Net Charge-offs
                    * 4% Decline in Non-performing Assets
                  * 2.00% Loan Loss Reserve Ratio Maintained

    COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Huntington Bancshares
Incorporated (Nasdaq: HBAN) ( http://www.huntington.com ) today reported third
quarter earnings of $98.1 million, or $0.41 per common share.  This compares
with earnings of $42.6 million, or $0.17 per common share, in the year-ago
third quarter, and $82.2 million, or $0.33 per common share, in the second
quarter of 2002.  Year-to-date earnings in 2002 were $278.1 million, or
$1.13 per common share, compared with $112.9 million, or $0.45 per common
share, in the year-ago nine-month period.
    Third quarter 2002 operating earnings were $82.2 million, or $0.34 per
common share, excluding a $24.5 million pre-tax ($16.0 million after tax) gain
on the previously announced restructuring of Huntington's ownership interest
in Huntington Merchant Services, L.L.C.  These results were up 1% and 3%,
respectively, from second quarter operating earnings of $81.7 million, or
$0.33 per common share, and up 2% and 6%, respectively, compared with the
year-ago quarter's operating earnings of $80.9 million, or $0.32 per share.
Prior period operating earnings exclude one-time restructuring charges and the
impact of the sale of the Florida banking operations and other non-operating
items (see Basis of Discussion - Operating Earnings below).  Operating
earnings for the first nine months of 2002 were $243.4 million, or $0.99 per
common share, up 7% and 9%, respectively, from the comparable prior-year
period operating earnings of $228.0 million, or $0.91 per common share.
    "Huntington continued to build momentum in the third quarter as evidenced
in a number of key financial performance indicators," said Thomas Hoaglin,
chairman, president and chief executive officer.  "Despite a contraction in
the net interest margin, net interest income increased 3% from the second
quarter as loan and deposit growth remained strong.  Mortgage banking income
declined from the second quarter due to a $6.6 million pre-tax mortgage
servicing impairment, reflecting heavy prepayment and refinancing activity.
Nevertheless, excluding mortgage banking income, non-interest income was up
4%, led by a 6% increase in deposit service charges."
    "We are also encouraged by the fact that credit quality trends continued
to improve," Hoaglin said.  "Net charge-offs declined for the third
consecutive quarter, and non-performing assets declined for the second
consecutive quarter.  Importantly, the inflow of new non-performing assets
declined 35% from the second quarter level.  Despite this improvement, given
the continued economic uncertainty, we maintained the loan loss reserve ratio
at 2.00%.  As a result, and reflecting the strong loan growth, loan loss
provision expense was up significantly from last quarter, and exceeded net
charge-offs by 38%.  We remain cautiously optimistic for credit quality trends
assuming no further significant deterioration in the economy."
    "We also took a number of important strategic steps in the third quarter
to enhance our portfolio of businesses and to strengthen our capabilities," he
added.  "As previously announced, to better utilize resources and maintain our
focus on our core businesses and markets, we sold the Florida-based J. Rolfe
Davis Insurance Agency and restructured our ownership interest in Huntington
Merchant Services.  To broaden our product offering to commercial customers
and complement our existing equipment leasing business, we purchased LeaseNet
Group, Inc., a small privately held equipment leasing company specializing in
the financing of network server class equipment.  We also continued to invest
in customer service technology with our enhanced teller platform technology
now in 64% of our branches and all remaining branches targeted for
installation by year-end.  On the personnel side, in August we appointed a new
head of small business banking.  We also continued our investment in employees
by establishing our second company-wide employee stock option grant."
    "Lastly, this past quarter we formally announced a new vision for the
company and our employees, which is to be an essential partner to our
customers.  This reinforces the concepts of employee empowerment and customer
service re-dedication initiated just over a year ago.  It's very rewarding to
see these principles evident in this quarter's financial performance and
achievements," Hoaglin concluded.

    Basis of discussion - Operating Earnings
    Reported results since the 2001 second quarter have been significantly
impacted by a number of non-operating items, primarily related to the
strategic restructuring announced in July 2001 and the subsequent sale of the
Florida banking operations in the 2002 first quarter.  Therefore, to better
understand comparable underlying trends, the following discussion is presented
on an operating basis.  Operating earnings exclude the impact of restructuring
and other charges, the gain from the sale of Florida banking operations and
its related run-rate impact from prior periods, and other non-operating items.
(Please refer to the schedules beginning on page 9, as well as the 2002 third
quarter's Quarterly Financial Review for schedules reconciling reported with
operating earnings and additional schedules excluding the impact of the
Florida operations.)

    Discussion of Results
    Third quarter 2002 results compared with sequential second quarter
performance on an operating basis reflected:

    * 2% increase in revenue excluding securities gains
      - 3% increase in net interest income
        * 4.26% net interest margin
        * 11% annualized growth in managed loans
        * 10% annualized growth in core deposits
      - 1% decline in non-interest income including the impact of a
        $6.6 million mortgage servicing rights impairment
    * 53.1% efficiency ratio, improved slightly
    * Improved credit quality and a strong allowance for loan losses
      - 5 basis point decline in the net charge-off ratio to 0.83% excluding
        net charge-offs on exited portfolios
      - $9.1 million, or 4%, decline in non-performing assets (NPAs) and 35%
        decline in the inflow of new NPAs
      - 2.00% allowance for loan losses ratio maintained
      - NPA coverage ratio increased to 191% from 176%
    * Maintained strong capital position
      - 8.00% tangible common equity ratio
      - Repurchased 6.2 million shares, bringing program-to-date repurchases
        to 15.0 million shares or $294 million

    Net interest income increased $7.6 million, or 3%, from the second quarter
reflecting a $797 million, or 4%, increase in average earning assets due to
growth in both loans and securities, and a 1% decrease in the margin.  The net
interest margin declined to 4.26% from 4.30% driven by a flattening yield
curve and mortgage loan origination and prepayment activity.  Compared with
the year-ago quarter, net interest income was up $19.0 million, or 8%,
reflecting the combination of a 5% increase in average earning assets and a 9
basis point increase in the net interest margin from 4.17%.
    Average managed loans increased 11% on an annualized basis from the second
quarter.  Loan generation continued to be positively impacted by strong growth
in consumer loans.  Average residential mortgages grew $80.7 million, or 81%
annualized, with average home equity loans and lines of credit up $151.0
million, or 18% annualized. This reflected continued strong demand for
residential mortgages, refinancing activity, and the promotion of adjustable
mortgage products.  In addition, average managed auto loans and leases
increased $229.6 million, or 14% annualized, reflecting record auto industry
sales in the third quarter and a new quarterly record level of production for
the Dealer Sales Group.  Commercial real estate loans increased $92.9 million,
or 10% annualized.  These increases were partially offset by a $111.4 million,
or 8% annualized, decline in commercial loans.  Compared with the year-ago
quarter, average managed loans were up 7%.
    Average core deposits increased $385.4 million, or 10% annualized, from
the second quarter, reflecting strong inflows in both interest bearing and
non-interest bearing demand deposits.  Within interest bearing deposits, money
market accounts showed the strongest growth.  Deposit inflow continued to be
influenced, in part, by recent turbulence in the financial markets, but also
by the success of sales and deposit growth programs.  Compared with the year-
ago quarter, average core deposits were up 12%.
    Non-interest income, excluding securities gains, was down $0.6 million, or
1%, from the second quarter. This reflected a $4.4 million decline in mortgage
banking income as a result of a $6.6 million mortgage servicing rights
impairment.  Without the impairment, mortgage-banking income would have
increased 20%.
    Excluding mortgage banking, non-interest income was up $3.8 million, or
4%, from the second quarter driven primarily by a $2.1 million, or 6%,
increase in deposit service charges.  Trust income was down $1.3 million, or
8%, and brokerage and insurance income was down $1.0 million, or 7%, both
declines driven by market conditions.  Other income was up $3.7 million from
the second quarter reflecting an increase in trading results and customer
derivative sales.  Compared with the year-ago quarter, non-interest income on
an operating basis and excluding securities gains was up 3%, or 12% excluding
a 55% decline in mortgage banking income.  Contributing to this year-over-year
increase were a 12% increase in deposit service charges and a 20% increase in
bank owned life insurance, with other service charges and other income up 14%
and 27%, respectively.
    Non-interest expense was up $3.5 million, or 2%, from the second quarter
driven by a $3.9 million increase in personnel costs, primarily related to
building regional banking and increased activity in mortgage banking and
dealer sales.  Equipment and occupancy costs were up $0.9 million.  These
increases were partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in outside data
processing and other services.  Compared with the year-ago quarter, operating
non-interest expense was up $6.7 million, or 4%, primarily reflecting a $5.6
million, or 6%, increase in personnel costs and a $1.8 million, or 31%,
increase in marketing costs.  These costs were partially offset by a $2.4
million decrease in intangible amortization due to a reduction in amortization
of non-Florida related intangibles. The third quarter efficiency ratio
improved slightly to 53.1% from 53.2% in the second quarter and improved from
54.0% in the year-ago quarter.
    Net charge-offs were $43.7 million, down 3%, in the third quarter and
represented an annualized 0.87% of average loans.  Excluding the impact of net
charge-offs on exited portfolios for which reserves were previously
established, net charge-offs represented 0.83% of average loans, down from
0.88% in the second quarter.  The over 30-day delinquency ratio for consumer
loans decreased 16 basis points to 2.10% at the end of the third quarter from
2.26% at the end of the second quarter.
    Loan loss provision expense in the third quarter was $60.2 million,
exceeding net charge-offs by $16.5 million, or 38%.  The September 30, 2002,
allowance for loan losses as a percent of period-end loans was maintained at
2.00% and was significantly higher than 1.77% at the end of the year-ago third
quarter.  The allowance for loan losses as a percent of non-performing assets
increased to 191% from 176% in the second quarter and 166% from the year ago
quarter.
    Non-performing assets at September 30, 2002, were $214.1 million, or 1.05%
of period-end loans and other real estate owned, down 4% from $223.2 million,
or 1.14%, at June 30, 2002.  The inflow of new non-performing assets declined
$25.8 million to $47.2 million in the third quarter.  Non-performing assets
continue to be concentrated in the manufacturing and services sectors
reflecting weakness in Midwest manufacturing.
    At September 30, 2002, the tangible equity to assets ratio was 8.00%, down
from 8.51% at June 30, 2002, reflecting the impact of the company's share
repurchase program and the growth in assets.

    2002 Outlook
    "Given our financial performance for the first nine-months, and assuming
continuing positive trends and no significant change in the economy or market
environment, we believe earnings per share will be $0.34-$0.35 in the fourth
quarter.  This is within the range for full-year 2002 operating earnings
guidance originally given last January," Hoaglin said.
