Forward-Looking Information

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of BB&T. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of BB&T, and the information available to management at the time that this presentation was prepared. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (1) general economic or business conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or a reduced demand for credit or other services; (2) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce net interest margins and/or the volumes and values of loans made or held as well as the value of other financial assets held; (3) competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly; (4) legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which BB&T is engaged; (5) local, state or federal taxing authorities may take tax positions that are adverse to BB&T; (6) adverse changes may occur in the securities markets; (7) competitors of BB&T may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable them to compete more successfully than BB&T; (8) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners may be greater than expected; (9) expected cost savings associated with completed mergers may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frames; and (10) deposit attrition, customer loss or revenue loss following completed mergers may be greater than expected. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation have not been examined or compiled by the independent public accountants of BB&T, nor have such accountants applied any procedures thereto. Accordingly, such accountants do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

Non-GAAP Information

This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). BB&T’s management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in their analysis of the Corporation’s performance. Non-GAAP measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to exclude the effects of charges, expenses and gains related to the consummation of mergers and acquisitions, and costs related to the integration of merged entities, as well as the amortization of intangibles and purchase accounting mark-to-market adjustments in the case of “cash basis” performance measures. These non-GAAP measures may also exclude other significant gains, losses or expenses that are unusual in nature and not expected to recur. Since these items and their impact on BB&T’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes presentations of financial measures excluding the impact of these items provide useful supplemental information that is important for a proper understanding of the operating results of BB&T’s core businesses. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included on the Investor Relations section of BB&T’s website (www.bbt.com/investor) and as an appendix to this presentation.

Comments Regarding Disclosure

BB&T Corporation does not provide earnings guidance, but does discuss trends regarding the factors that influence potential future performance in both its quarterly earnings release and its quarterly earnings conference call.

Subsequent to the discussion of such information in any quarterly earnings release, BB&T undertakes no responsibility to update that information should facts and circumstances change.

This presentation repeats information that has been previously disclosed. It should not be interpreted as providing new information, nor as confirming or updating previous disclosures.

Background

BB&T is a fast growing, highly profitable, regional financial holding company. The core of our business was created by the merger-of-equals between BB&T and Southern National in 1995 and the acquisition of UCB in 1997. All three institutions “grew up” as eastern North Carolina farm banks. This fundamental and sound heritage is reflected in our culture. BB&T was organized in 1872 and is the oldest bank in the Carolinas.

BB&T has consummated 47 acquisitions of community banks and thrifts, 83 insurance agencies, and 31 non-bank acquisitions over the last fifteen years. The employees, clients, shareholders, and board members of these institutions have considerably strengthened our organization.
