WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT) today reported earnings for the second quarter of 2017. Net income available to common

per diluted common share were $0.77 for the second quarter of 2017. Excluding pre-tax
merger-related and restructuring charges of $10 million ($6 million
after tax), net income available to common shareholders was $637 million, or $0.78 per diluted share.

"We are pleased to report record earnings and revenues for the second quarter," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Kelly S. King. "Taxable-equivalent revenues were a record $2.9
billion, up 3.9 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016," King said. "Net interest income was up $18 million and noninterest income was up $90 million from last year. In
addition, revenues were up an annualized 10.7 percent, from the first quarter of 2017.
"Our credit quality improved further in the second quarter, as we had declines in non-performing assets, net charge-offs,
performing TDRs and loans 90 days or more past due."
"We are also pleased to receive the Federal Reserve's non-objection to our capital plan that includes a quarterly dividend of
$0.33 per share, an increase of ten percent, and up to $1.88 billion

Second Quarter 2017 compared to First Quarter 2017
Total taxable-equivalent revenues were $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2017, an increase
of $75 million compared to the prior quarter, which reflects an increase of $26 million in taxable-equivalent net interest income, while noninterest income was up $49 million.
The net interest margin was 3.47 percent for the second quarter, up one basis point compared to the prior quarter driven by
rate increases. Average earning assets increased $822 million, which primarily reflects an
$803 million increase in average securities and a $629 million
increase in average total loans. These increases were offset by a decrease of $610 million in other
earning assets. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $945 million, resulting from a
$2.6 billion decrease in interest-bearing deposits, which was partially offset by a $1.0 billion increase in long-term debt and a $643 million increase in short-term
borrowings.
The annualized yield on the total loan portfolio for the second quarter was 4.36 percent, up six basis points, reflecting the
impact of rate increases. The annualized taxable-equivalent yield on the average securities portfolio for the second quarter was
2.49 percent, up seven basis points compared to the prior quarter.
The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.30 percent, up four basis points compared to the prior quarter.
The average annualized rate on long-term debt was 1.91 percent, up eight basis points compared to the prior quarter. The average
annualized rate on short-term borrowings was 0.70 percent, up 27 basis points compared to the prior quarter. The higher rates on
interest-bearing liabilities reflect the impact of rate increases.
The provision for credit losses was $135 million, which includes a $16
million benefit for purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans, and net charge-offs were $132
million for the second quarter, compared to $148 million and $148
million, respectively, for the prior quarter.
Noninterest income of $1.2 billion was up $49 million compared to
the prior quarter primarily due to increased insurance income, investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions and bankcard
fees and merchant discounts.
Noninterest expense was $1.7 billion for the second quarter, down $360
million compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was largely a result of the $392
million loss on the early extinguishment of $2.9 billion of higher-cost FHLB advances
recorded in the prior quarter.
The provision for income taxes was $304 million for the second quarter, compared to $104 million for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter was 31.1 percent, compared to
19.6 percent for the prior quarter. The increase in the provision for income tax reflects higher earnings. In addition, the prior
quarter tax provision included $35 million of excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation
plans.
Second Quarter 2017 compared to Second Quarter 2016
Total taxable-equivalent revenues were $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2017, an increase
of $108 million compared to the earlier quarter. This reflects an increase of $18 million in taxable-equivalent net interest income and an increase of $90
million in noninterest income.
Net interest margin was 3.47 percent, up six basis points compared to the earlier quarter. Average earning assets decreased
$1.4 billion. The decrease in average earnings assets reflects a $3.1
billion decrease in average securities partially offset by a $1.2 billion increase in
average total loans and leases. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $5.6 billion. The
decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities reflects an improvement in deposit mix, as average noninterest-bearing deposits
increased $3.8 billion and average interest-bearing deposits decreased $3.8
billion. In addition, average long-term debt decreased $1.5 billion. The annualized yield on
the total loan portfolio for the second quarter was 4.36 percent, up five basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The
annualized taxable-equivalent yield on the average securities portfolio for the second quarter was 2.49 percent, up two basis
points compared to the earlier period.
The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.30 percent, up seven basis points compared to the earlier
quarter. The average annualized rate on long-term debt was 1.91 percent, down 19 basis points compared to the earlier quarter
primarily due to benefits from the early extinguishment of higher-cost FHLB advances. The average annualized rate on short-term
borrowings was 0.70 percent, up 36 basis points compared to the earlier quarter.
The provision for credit losses was $135 million, which includes a $16
million benefit for PCI loans, compared to $111 million in the earlier quarter. Net
charge-offs for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $132 million compared to $97 million for the earlier quarter.
Noninterest income was $1.2 billion, an increase of $90 million
from the earlier quarter. This increase was driven by higher insurance income, FDIC loss share income and bankcard fees and
merchant discounts. These increases were partially offset by a decline in mortgage banking income compared to the earlier
quarter.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.7 billion, down $55 million compared to the earlier quarter. This decrease was driven by lower merger-related and restructuring
charges in the current year.
The provision for income taxes was $304 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to
$252 million for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the second quarter of
2017 of 31.1 percent, compared to 30.0 percent for the earlier quarter.

Second Quarter 2017 compared to First Quarter 2017
Noninterest income was $1.2 billion for the second quarter, up $49
million compared to the prior quarter primarily due to increased insurance income, investment banking and brokerage fees
and commissions and bankcard fees and merchant discounts.
Insurance income increased $23 million primarily due to seasonality. Bankcard fees and merchant
discounts increased $16 million primarily due to a reduction in the accrual for rewards and an
increase in volumes. Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions increased $14 million,
as several deals closed this quarter.
Second Quarter 2017 compared to Second Quarter 2016
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2017 was up $90 million compared to the earlier
quarter. This increase was driven by higher insurance income, FDIC loss share income and bankcard fees and merchant discounts.
These increases were partially offset by a decline in mortgage banking income compared to the earlier quarter.
FDIC loss share income increased $64 million due to the termination of the loss sharing
agreements during the third quarter of 2016. Insurance income increased $16 million, primarily due
to the timing of wholesale commission payments. Bankcard fees and merchant discounts increased $15
million primarily due to a reduction in the accrual for rewards and an increase in volumes.
Mortgage banking income decreased $17 million primarily resulting from lower gains on the net
MSR valuation during the current quarter.

Second Quarter 2017 compared to First Quarter 2017
Noninterest expense was $1.7 billion for the second quarter, down $360
million compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was largely a result of the $392
million loss on the extinguishment of $2.9 billion of higher-cost FHLB advances recorded in
the prior quarter. In addition, merger-related and restructuring charges decreased $26 million
compared to the prior quarter.
Personnel expense increased $31 million, primarily due to an increase of $34 million from higher incentives due to improved performance. Professional services expense increased
$16 million compared to the prior quarter and outside IT expense decreased $10 million; both of which were primarily due to expenses related to BSA/AML efforts. Other expense increased
$16 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher operating charge-offs,
charitable donations and employee travel.
Merger-related and restructuring charges decreased $26 million compared to the prior quarter.
The decrease largely relates to the write-off of certain capitalized costs on software never placed in service and the writedown
of real estate in connection with restructuring activities, both of which were recorded in the prior quarter.
Second Quarter 2017 compared to Second Quarter 2016
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was down $55 million compared to the earlier
quarter. This decrease was driven by lower merger-related and restructuring charges in the current year.
Personnel expense was essentially flat. Salaries and incentives expense was higher by $20
million, which was mostly offset by a decrease of $17 million in employee benefits expense.
The decrease in employee benefits expense was related to certain post-employment benefits, which is largely offset in other
income.
Merger-related and restructuring charges decreased $82 million, primarily the result of
acquisitions and restructuring activities in the earlier quarter.
Professional services expense increased $12 million compared to the earlier quarter due to an
increase in BSA/AML related services.
Regulatory charges were up $4 million primarily due to a $21
million FDIC insurance premium surcharge, which was partially offset by a lower assessment rate.

Average loans held for investment for the second quarter of 2017 were $143.1 billion, up
$1.1 billion, or 3.0 percent compared to the first quarter of 2017. Excluding planned runoff from
sales finance loans, residential mortgage loans and PCI loans, average loans held for investment increased $1.9 billion, or an annualized 7.5 percent compared to the prior quarter.
Average commercial and industrial loans increased $781 million due to growth from the Financial
Services and Community Banking segments, as well as seasonal growth from mortgage warehouse lending. In addition, average
CRE-income producing properties increased $262 million. Average other lending subsidiaries loans
increased $717 million, which includes an increase due to the purchase of a near-prime automobile
portfolio late in the first quarter with the remaining increase due to seasonality and strong growth in small ticket consumer
finance, commercial mortgage lending and premium finance.
Average sales finance loans decreased $446 million, as we are strategically optimizing the size
of this portfolio and directing investments towards higher-yielding assets. In addition, average residential mortgage loans
decreased $309 million as all conforming loans continue to be sold in the secondary market.

During the second quarter of 2017, a change was made in the method for allocation of capital to the operating segments
impacting both the allocated balances and funding credit. Results for prior periods have been revised to reflect the new
allocations.
Second Quarter 2017 compared to First Quarter 2017
Community Banking
Community Banking serves individual and business clients by offering a variety of loan and deposit products and other
financial services. The segment is primarily responsible for acquiring and servicing client relationships.
Community Banking net income was $345 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of
$5 million compared to the prior quarter. Segment net interest income increased $32 million due to improved funding spreads on deposits, loan and deposit growth and one additional day in the
current quarter. Noninterest income increased $28 million with increases across all categories and
primarily driven by higher bankcard fees and merchant discounts due in part to a reduction in the accrual for rewards as well as
increased service charges on deposits.
The allocated provision for credit losses increased $38 million primarily due to an increase in
loss estimates, higher net charge-offs and loan growth. Noninterest expense increased $22 million
driven by higher operating charge-offs, personnel expense and donations and contributions expense.
Residential Mortgage Banking
Residential Mortgage Banking originates and purchases mortgage loans to either hold for investment or sell to third-parties.
BB&T generally retains the servicing rights to loans sold. Mortgage products include fixed and adjustable-rate government
guaranteed and conventional loans used for the purpose of constructing, purchasing or refinancing residential properties.
Substantially all of the properties are owner-occupied. Residential Mortgage Banking also includes Mortgage Warehouse Lending
which provides short-term lending solutions to finance first-lien residential mortgages held-for-sale by independent mortgage
companies.
Residential Mortgage Banking net income was $46 million for the second quarter of 2017, a
decrease of $8 million compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to higher
personnel expense, loan processing expense and allocated provision for credit losses.
During the second quarter of 2017, residential mortgage loans totaling $300 million were sold,
which included $40 million of nonaccrual loans and $199 million of
performing TDRs.
Dealer Financial Services
Dealer Financial Services originates loans to consumers for the purchase of automobiles. These loans are originated on an
indirect basis through approved franchised and independent automobile dealers throughout BB&T's market area through BB&T
Dealer Finance, and on a national basis through Regional Acceptance Corporation. Dealer Financial Services also originates loans
for the purchase of recreational and marine vehicles. In conjunction with Community Banking, Dealer Financial Services provides
financing and servicing to dealers for their inventories in Community Banking's footprint.
Dealer Financial Services net income was $38 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase
of $9 million compared to the prior quarter. Results were primarily driven by a $14 million decrease in the allocated provision for credit losses, which was largely the result of seasonally
lower net charge-offs in the Regional Acceptance loan portfolio.
Dealer Financial Services average loans held for investment decreased $115 million, or 2.9
percent annualized, primarily due to the strategy to optimize the auto portfolio.
Specialized Lending
Specialized Lending consists of businesses that provide specialty finance solutions to commercial and consumer clients
including: commercial finance, tax-exempt financing for local governments and special-purpose districts, equipment leasing,
full-service commercial mortgage banking, commercial and retail insurance premium finance and small ticket dealer-based financing
of equipment for consumers and small businesses.
Specialized Lending net income was $54 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of
$3 million compared to the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to a lower allocated
provision for credit losses.
Specialized Lending average loans held for investment increased $621 million, or 15.7 percent
annualized, primarily due to higher small ticket dealer-based finance, commercial mortgage and insurance premium finance
loans.
Insurance Holdings
BB&T's insurance agency / brokerage network is the fifth largest in the United States and
in the world. Insurance Holdings provides property and casualty, life and health insurance to businesses and individual clients.
It also provides small business and corporate products, such as workers compensation and professional liability, as well as
surety coverage and title insurance.
Insurance Holdings net income was $55 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of
$9 million compared to the prior quarter. Noninterest income increased $21
million, driven by seasonally higher property and casualty insurance commissions and other insurance commissions,
partially offset by seasonally lower employee benefit commissions. This increase was partially offset by higher personnel
expense.
Financial Services
Financial Services provides personal trust administration, estate planning, investment counseling, wealth management, asset
management, employee benefits services, corporate banking and corporate trust services to individuals, corporations,
institutions, foundations and government entities. In addition, Financial Services offers clients a variety of investment
services, including discount brokerage services, equities, annuities, mutual funds and government bonds through BB&T
Investment Services, Inc. The segment includes BB&T Securities, a full-service brokerage and investment banking firm, and the
Corporate Banking Division, which originates and services large corporate relationships, syndicated lending relationships and
client derivatives. The segment also includes the company's SBIC private equity investments.
Financial Services net income was $115 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of
$23 million compared to the prior quarter. Noninterest income increased $14
million primarily due to higher investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions as several deals closed this
quarter. Segment net interest income increased $12 million due to improved funding spreads on
deposits, loan growth and one additional day in the current quarter.
The allocated provision for credit losses decreased $18 million due to a decline in net
charge-offs and a decrease in loss estimates related to commercial and industrial loans. Noninterest expense increased
$12 million due to higher personnel expense driven by improved production.
Corporate Banking's average loans held for investment increased $327 million, or an annualized
9.1 percent, compared to the prior quarter, while BB&T Wealth's average loans held for investment increased $72 million, or an annualized 18.2 percent. Corporate Banking's average transaction account deposits decreased
$69 million, or 11.6 percent on an annualized basis compared to the prior quarter. BB&T
Wealth's average transaction account deposits increased $43 million, or 3.8 percent on an
annualized basis.
Other, Treasury & Corporate
Net income in Other, Treasury & Corporate can vary due to the changing needs of the Corporation, including the size of the
investment portfolio, the need for wholesale funding and income received from derivatives used to hedge the balance sheet.
Other, Treasury & Corporate net income was $21 million for the second quarter of 2017, an
increase of $207 million compared to the prior quarter. Segment net interest income decreased
$21 million due to an increase in long-term debt, an increase in the net credit for funds provided
to other operating segments and a decrease in PCI loans, partially offset by an increase in securities. Noninterest income fell
primarily due to lower income related to assets for certain post-employment benefits.
Noninterest expense decreased $408 million due to the first quarter loss of $392 million on the early extinguishment of higher-cost FHLB advances, as well as a decline in merger-related
and restructuring charges and lower expense related to assets for certain post-employment benefits, partially offset by higher
employee incentive expense and employee insurance expense. The allocated provision for credit losses decreased $20 million primarily due to a provision benefit recorded in the current period for PCI loans. The provision
for income taxes increased $179 million due to higher pre-tax income and $35
million of excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation plans in the first quarter.
Second Quarter 2017 compared to Second Quarter 2016
The financial information related to National Penn's operations was included in the Other, Treasury & Corporate segment
until the systems conversion, which occurred during July 2016. The majority of National Penn's
operations are now included in Community Banking.
Community Banking
Community Banking net income was $345 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of
$43 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $99 million driven by higher funding spreads on deposits as well as loan and deposit growth partially from the
acquisition of National Penn. Noninterest income increased $34 million due to higher bankcard fees
and merchant discounts, service charges on deposits and checkcard fees, partially driven by the National Penn acquisition.
Bankcard and merchant discounts benefited from a reduction in the accrual for rewards and increased transaction volumes.
The allocated provision for credit losses increased $40 million primarily due to an increase in
loss estimates related to commercial real estate loans and higher net charge-offs. Noninterest expense increased $22 million, driven by higher personnel expense and occupancy and equipment expense which were primarily
attributable to the National Penn acquisition as well as an increase in operating charge-offs. Allocated corporate expense
increased largely due to the National Penn acquisition.
Residential Mortgage Banking
Residential Mortgage Banking net income was $46 million for the second quarter of 2017, a
decrease of $9 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income decreased due
to a decline in average loans. Noninterest income decreased primarily due to lower net mortgage servicing income. Noninterest
expense decreased due to declines in loan processing expense, personnel expense and operating charge-offs.
Dealer Financial Services
Dealer Financial Services net income was $38 million for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease
of $13 million compared to the earlier quarter. This decrease was driven by a $23 million increase in the allocated provision for credit losses, which was primarily due to higher net
charge-offs and an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses, both due to increased loss severity.
Specialized Lending
Specialized Lending net income was $54 million for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of
$3 million compared to the earlier quarter.
Specialized Lending average loans increased $1.6 billion, or 10.8 percent, primarily due to
higher insurance premium finance, equipment finance and commercial mortgage loans.
Insurance Holdings
Insurance Holdings net income was $55 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of
$13 million compared to the earlier quarter. Noninterest income increased $18 million primarily due to the timing of wholesale commission payments and other commission income.
Financial Services
Financial Services net income was $115 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of
$30 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $16 million, primarily driven by loan and deposit growth and higher funding spreads on deposits, partially
offset by lower credit spreads on loans for Corporate Banking. Noninterest income increased $18
million, primarily due to higher trust and investment advisory fees, investment banking and brokerage fees and
commissions, and hedge and client derivative income.
The allocated provision for credit losses decreased $23 million due to a decline in loss
estimates related to commercial and industrial loans and lower net charge-offs. Allocated corporate expenses rose due to
increased investments in business initiatives and additional support area costs. Noninterest expense increased due to higher
personnel expense, partially offset by lower merger-related and restructuring charges.
Other, Treasury & Corporate
Other, Treasury & Corporate net income was $21 million in the second quarter of 2017, an
increase of $26 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income decreased
$98 million primarily due to the inclusion of National Penn results in the earlier quarter.
Noninterest income increased $32 million, driven by a $64 million
improvement in FDIC loss share income as a result of terminating the loss share agreements in the third quarter of 2016. This
increase was partially offset by a decline in income related to assets for certain post-employment benefits.
Noninterest expense decreased $76 million due to lower merger-related and restructuring charges
and personnel expense, both primarily due to the inclusion of National Penn results in the earlier quarter. These decreases were
partially offset by higher professional services expense related to BSA/AML efforts. The segment allocated $31 million of additional corporate expenses to other operating segments compared to the earlier quarter. The
allocated provision for credit losses decreased primarily due to a provision benefit recorded in the current period for PCI
loans.

During the second quarter, the Company completed the sale of residential mortgage loans with a carrying value before allowance
for loan losses of $300 million. The sale included $40 million of
nonaccrual loans and $199 million of performing TDRs.
Nonperforming assets totaled $690 million at June 30, 2017, down $111 million compared to March 31, 2017. The decrease was driven by a $49
million decline in nonperforming commercial and industrial loans, primarily due to payoffs, sales and writedowns and a
$41 million decline in nonperforming residential mortgage loans due to the previously mentioned
loan sale. Nonperforming loans and leases represented 0.43 percent of loans and leases held for investment, an improvement of
eight basis points compared to March 31, 2017.
Performing TDRs were down $158 million during the second quarter, driven by the previously
mentioned loan sale.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $493 million at June 30, 2017,
down $49 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in residential mortgage
loans. The ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.34 percent at
June 30, 2017, compared to 0.38 percent for the prior quarter. Excluding government guaranteed and PCI loans, the ratio of
loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.05 percent at June 30, 2017, a
decrease of one basis point compared to the prior quarter.
Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing totaled $874 million at June 30, 2017, up
$69 million compared to the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to seasonality in other
lending subsidiaries retail portfolios.
Net charge-offs during the second quarter totaled $132 million, down $16
million compared to the prior quarter. As a percentage of average loans and leases, annualized net charge-offs were 0.37
percent, down five basis points compared to the prior quarter. Net charge-offs for the current quarter include $16 million recorded in connection with the residential mortgage loan sale previously mentioned.
The allowance for loan and lease losses, excluding the allowance for PCI loans, was $1.5
billion, up $14 million compared to the prior quarter. As of June 30, 2017, the total
allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.03 percent of loans and leases held for investment, down slightly compared to
March 31, 2017.
The allowance for loan and lease losses was 2.43 times nonperforming loans and leases held for investment, compared to 2.05
times at March 31, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the allowance for loan and lease losses was 2.80 times annualized net
charge-offs, compared to 2.49 times at March 31, 2017.

Capital ratios are preliminary.
This news release contains financial information and performance measures 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 and the efficiency of its
operations. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance
comparability of results with prior periods and demonstrate the effects of significant items in the current period. The company
believes a meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance.
BB&T's management believes investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful. These disclosures should not be
viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP
performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the types of non-GAAP measures used in this
news release:
- Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets and their
related amortization. These measures are useful for evaluating the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or
developed internally. BB&T's management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and returns relative to
balance sheet risk and believes investors may find them useful in their analysis of the Corporation.
- The adjusted efficiency ratio is non-GAAP in that it excludes securities gains (losses), amortization of intangible
assets, merger-related and restructuring charges and other selected items. BB&T's management uses this measure in their
analysis of the Corporation's performance. BB&T's management believes this measure provides a greater understanding of
ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods, as well as demonstrates the effects of significant
gains and charges.
- Core net interest margin is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts net interest margin to exclude the impact of interest income
and estimated funding costs associated with loans and securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition and PCI loans acquired
from Susquehanna and National Penn. Core net interest margin is also adjusted to remove the purchase accounting marks and
related amortization for non-PCI loans, deposits and long-term debt acquired from Susquehanna and National Penn. BB&T's
management believes the adjustments to the calculation of net interest margin for certain assets and deposits acquired provide
investors with useful information related to the performance of BB&T's earning assets.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in BB&T's Second
Quarter 2017 Quarterly Performance Summary, which is available at BBT.com.

parties, could adversely impact BB&T's financial condition and results of operations.
