CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Bank of America Corporation today reported a net loss of $276 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $1.5 billion, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.

Revenue, net of interest expense, on an FTE basis(A) declined 3 percent from the first quarter of 2013 to $22.8 billion. Excluding the impact of net debit valuation adjustments (DVA) in both periods, revenue was down 4 percent from the year-ago quarter to $22.7 billion(B).

The results for the first quarter of 2014 include $6.0 billion in litigation expense related to the previously announced settlement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), and additional reserves primarily for previously disclosed legacy mortgage-related matters.

"The cost of resolving more of our mortgage issues hurt our earnings this quarter,” said Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan. “But the earnings power of our business and customer strategy generated solid results and we continued to return excess capital to our shareholders."

"During the quarter, our Basel 3 standardized capital ratios and our liquidity improved to record levels and credit quality also improved," said Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson. "In addition, expenses in our legacy mortgage servicing business, excluding litigation, declined by $1 billion from the year-ago quarter."

1 Fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis is a non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliations to GAAP financial measures, refer to pages 21-23 of this press release. Net interest income on a GAAP basis was $10.1 billion, $10.8 billion and $10.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Total revenue, net of interest expense, on a GAAP basis was $22.6 billion, $21.5 billion and $23.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

2 Total revenue, net of interest expense, on an FTE basis excluding net DVA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net DVA gains (losses)were $112 million, $(617) million and $(145) million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.


Net interest income, on an FTE basis, fell 5 percent from the year-ago quarter to $10.3 billion(A). The decline was driven by lower yields on debt securities due to an approximate $540 million swing in market-related premium amortization expense. Net interest margin, excluding market-related adjustments, was 2.36 percent in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 2.30 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

Noninterest income was flat compared to the year-ago quarter, as lower mortgage banking income and lower trading account profits were largely offset by year-over-year increases in investment and brokerage income, equity investment income and gains on the sale of debt securities.

The provision for credit losses declined 41 percent from the first quarter of 2013 to $1.0 billion, driven by improved credit quality. Net charge-offs declined 45 percent from the first quarter of 2013 to $1.4 billion, with the net charge-off ratio falling to 0.62 percent in the first quarter of 2014 from 1.14 percent in the year-ago quarter. During the first quarter of 2014, the reserve release was $379 million, compared to a reserve release of $804 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Noninterest expense was $22.2 billion, compared to $19.5 billion in the year-ago quarter, driven by higher mortgage-related litigation expense, partially offset by reduced other expenses in Legacy Assets and Servicing (LAS). Litigation expense, including $3.6 billion for the FHFA settlement, was $6.0 billion in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2013. The first quarter of 2014 included $1.0 billion of expense associated with retirement-eligible incentive compensation costs, compared to $0.9 billion in the first quarter of 2013. Excluding litigation and retirement-eligible incentive compensation costs from both periods, noninterest expense declined $1.2 billion from the year-ago quarter.

The income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2014 was $405 million on $681 million of pretax loss, compared to income tax expense of $501 million on $2.0 billion of pretax income in the prior-year period. At March 31, 2014, the company had 238,560 full-time employees, down 9 percent from the year-ago quarter and 1.5 percent below the fourth quarter of 2013.

Settlement With Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. (FGIC)

Bank of America reached a settlement with FGIC, as well as separate settlements with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, for certain second-lien residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trusts for which FGIC provided financial guarantee insurance. The agreements resolve all outstanding litigation between FGIC and the company, as well as outstanding and potential claims by FGIC and the trustee related to alleged representations and warranties breaches and other claims involving second-lien RMBS trusts for which FGIC provided financial guarantee insurance.

Seven of the trust settlements have already been completed, and the two remaining trust settlements are subject to additional investor approvals in a process that is expected to be completed within the next 45 days. Bank of America has already made payments totaling approximately $900 million under the settlement with FGIC and the completed trust settlements and will pay an additional $50 million if the remaining two trust settlements are completed. The costs of the FGIC and trust settlements are covered by previously established reserves. With this settlement, Bank of America has resolved disputes with four monolines.

Business Segment Results

The company reports results through five business segments: Consumer and Business Banking (CBB), Consumer Real Estate Services (CRES), Global Wealth and Investment Management (GWIM), Global Banking, and Global Markets, with the remaining operations recorded in All Other.

Business Highlights

  • Average deposit balances increased $32.1 billion, or 6 percent, from the year-ago quarter to $534.6 billion. The increase was driven by growth in liquid products in the current low-rate environment and the $11.8 billion average impact of deposit transfers primarily from GWIM.
  • The number of mobile banking customers increased 19 percent from the year-ago quarter to 15.0 million, and more than 10 percent of deposit transactions are now being done through mobile devices.
  • Total U.S. Consumer Credit Card net credit loss rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 3.25 percent, and remains at historically low levels.
  • Return on average allocated capital was 22.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 19.6 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

Financial Overview

Consumer and Business Banking reported net income of $1.7 billion, up $210 million, or 15 percent, from the year-ago quarter. Noninterest income of $2.5 billion increased $88 million primarily due to a portfolio divestiture gain.

The provision for credit losses decreased $140 million from the year-ago quarter to $812 million, reflecting continued improvement in credit quality, due in part to lower delinquencies. Noninterest expense decreased 4 percent, or $180 million, from the year-ago quarter to $4.0 billion primarily due to lower operating and personnel expense.

Business Highlights

  • Bank of America funded $10.8 billion in residential home loans and home equity loans during the first quarter of 2014, helping more than 36,000 homeowners either refinance an existing mortgage or purchase a home through our retail channels. This included more than 3,300 first-time homebuyer mortgages and more than 12,800 mortgages to low- and moderate-income borrowers.
  • The pipeline for new mortgages increased 23 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2014 compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.
  • The number of 60+ days delinquent first mortgage loans serviced by LAS declined 15 percent during the first quarter of 2014 to 277,000 loans from 325,000 loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, and declined 58 percent from 667,000 loans at the end of the first quarter of 2013.
  • Noninterest expense in LAS, excluding litigation, declined to $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2014 from $2.6 billion in the year-ago quarter.

Financial Overview

Consumer Real Estate Services reported a net loss of $5.0 billion for the first quarter of 2014, compared to a net loss of $2.2 billion for the same period in 2013, reflecting a $3.8 billion increase in litigation expense. Revenue declined $1.1 billion from the first quarter of 2013 to $1.2 billion, driven primarily by a $548 million decline in servicing revenue, reflecting a smaller servicing portfolio and a $542 million decline in core production revenue due to lower loan originations.

CRES first-mortgage originations declined 65 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, reflecting the decline in the overall market demand for refinance mortgages. Core production revenue decreased in the first quarter of 2014 to $273 million from $815 million in the year-ago quarter due to lower volume and a reduction in margins.

The provision for credit losses decreased $310 million from the year-ago quarter to $25 million, driven primarily by continued improvement in portfolio trends, including home prices.

Noninterest expense increased $2.7 billion from the year-ago quarter to $8.1 billion, due to a $3.8 billion increase in litigation expense, partially offset by lower LAS default-related staffing and other default-related servicing expenses.

2 Total client balances are defined as assets under management, client brokerage assets, assets in custody, client deposits and loans (including margin receivables).

Business Highlights

  • Pretax margin was 25.6 percent in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 25.9 percent in the year-ago quarter, marking the fifth straight quarter of over 25 percent.
  • Asset management fees grew to a record $1.9 billion, up 18.4 percent from the year-ago quarter.
  • Client balances increased 7 percent to $2.40 trillion, driven by higher market levels and net inflows. First-quarter 2014 long-term assets under management (AUM) flows of $17.4 billion were the 19th consecutive quarter of positive flows.
  • Average loan balances increased 9 percent from the year-ago quarter to $115.9 billion.

Financial Overview

Global Wealth and Investment Management reported net income of $729 million, up slightly from the first quarter of 2013, reflecting continued strong revenue performance and low credit costs.

Revenue increased 3 percent from the year-ago quarter to a record $4.5 billion, driven by higher noninterest income related to improved market valuation and long-term AUM flows.

The provision for credit losses was relatively flat compared to the year-ago quarter. Noninterest expense increased 3 percent to $3.4 billion, driven in part by higher revenue-related expenses as well as increased volume-related expenses and additional investments in technology to support the business.

Return on average allocated capital was 24.7 percent in the first quarter of 2014, down from 29.4 percent in the year-ago quarter, reflecting earnings stability coupled with increased capital allocations.

Client balances rose 7 percent from the year-ago quarter to $2.40 trillion, driven largely by higher market levels, long-term AUM flows of $44.8 billion and period-end client loan growth of $9.5 billion. Assets under management rose $96.6 billion, or 13 percent, from the first quarter of 2013 to $841.8 billion, driven by market valuation and long-term AUM flows. Average deposit balances decreased $10.6 billion from the first quarter of 2013 to $242.8 billion as $2.4 billion of organic growth was offset by a $13.0 billion migration to CBB, primarily in the first quarter of 2013.

Business Highlights

  • Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) maintained a leadership position in investment banking with firmwide investment banking fees of $1.5 billion, excluding self-led deals.
  • BAML ranked among the top three financial institutions globally in leveraged loans, investment-grade corporate debt, asset-backed securities, common stock underwriting, and syndicated loans during the first quarter of 2014(C).
  • Average loan and lease balances increased $27.4 billion, or 11 percent, from the year-ago quarter, to $271.5 billion, with growth primarily in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio and the commercial real estate portfolio.
  • Average deposits increased $35.1 billion, or 16 percent, from the year-ago quarter to $256.3 billion primarily due to increased client liquidity.

Financial Overview

Global Banking reported net income of $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2014, down $45 million from the year-ago quarter, as an increase in revenue was offset by higher noninterest expense and increased provision for credit losses. Revenue of $4.3 billion was up 6 percent from the first quarter of 2013, reflecting higher net interest income driven by growth in loan balances.

Global Corporate Banking revenue increased to $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2014, up $127 million from the year-ago quarter, and Global Commercial Banking revenue increased $80 million to $1.8 billion. Included in these results are Business Lending revenue of $1.9 billion, up $116 million from the year-ago quarter, and Global Treasury Services revenue of $1.5 billion, up $91 million from the year-ago period. Global Banking investment banking fees, excluding self-led deals, remained solid versus the year-ago quarter.

The provision for credit losses increased $116 million from the year-ago quarter to $265 million. The reserve increase for the first quarter of 2014 was $282 million, compared to $81 million in the year-ago quarter.

Noninterest expense increased $186 million, or 10 percent, from the year-ago quarter to $2.0 billion, primarily from technology investments in Global Treasury Services and lending platforms, additional client-facing personnel and higher litigation expense.

Return on average allocated capital was 16.2 percent in the first quarter of 2014, down from 22.6 percent in the year-ago quarter, reflecting earnings stability offset by increased capital allocations.

1 During the first quarter of 2014, the management of structured liabilities and the associated DVA were moved into Global Markets from All Other to better align the performance risk of these instruments. As such, net DVA represents the combined total of net DVA on derivatives and structured liabilities. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

2 Total revenue, net of interest expense, on an FTE basis excluding net DVA, and net income (loss) excluding net DVA are non-GAAP financial measures. Net DVA gains (losses) were $112 million, $(617) million and $(145) million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

Business Highlights

  • Sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA(F), remained relatively flat from the first quarter of 2013 at $4.1 billion.
  • Equities sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA(H) was solid compared to the year-ago period. The company continued to increase market share compared to the year-ago quarter.
  • Return on average allocated capital, excluding net DVA(F), was 14.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 16.3 percent in the first quarter of 2013, reflecting stable net income combined with an increase in allocated capital compared to the year-ago quarter.

Financial Overview

Global Markets reported net income of $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $1.1 billion in the year-ago quarter. Excluding net DVA(F), net income was $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 3 percent compared to the year-ago quarter.

Global Markets revenue increased $235 million, or 5 percent, from the year-ago quarter to $5.0 billion. Excluding net DVA(F), revenue decreased $22 million to $4.9 billion as declines in Rates and Currencies were partially offset by stronger performance in Credit and Equities.

Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA(G), was $3.0 billion in the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $51 million, or 2 percent, from the year-ago quarter, as credit markets remained strong but Rates and Currencies declined on lower market volumes and volatility. The year-ago results included the impact of a $450 million write-down related to the settlement of a legacy matter. Adjusting the year-ago quarter to exclude this negative impact, FICC revenue, excluding net DVA, declined 15 percent from the first quarter of 2013.

Equities sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA(H), was $1.2 billion, in line with results from the year-ago quarter. The current quarter benefited from continued gains in market share and higher client financing balances.

Noninterest expense of $3.1 billion was flat compared to the year-ago quarter.

1 All Other consists of ALM activities, equity investments, the international consumer card business, liquidating businesses and other. ALM activities encompass the whole-loan residential mortgage portfolio and investment securities, interest rate and foreign currency risk management activities including the residual net interest income allocation, the impact of certain allocation methodologies and accounting hedge ineffectiveness.

2 Revenue includes equity investment income of $674 million, $393 million and $520 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively, and gains on sales of debt securities of $357 million, $363 million and $67 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

3 During the first quarter of 2014, the management of structured liabilities and the associated DVA were moved into Global Markets from All Other to better align the performance risk of these instruments. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.


All Other reported a net loss of $182 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to a net loss of $923 million for the same period a year ago. The improvement was primarily driven by a decrease in the provision for credit losses primarily due to continued improvement in portfolio trends including increased home prices, higher gains on sales of debt securities, and higher equity investment income due to a gain on the sale of the company's remaining interest in an investment. Impacting the income tax benefit were the resolution of certain tax matters and recurring tax preference items compared to the year-ago.

2 Net charge-off ratios are calculated as annualized net charge-offs divided by average outstanding loans and leases during the period; quarterly results are annualized.

3 Nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties ratios are calculated as nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties divided by outstanding loans, leases and foreclosed properties at the end of the period.

4 Allowance for loan and lease losses ratios are calculated as allowance for loan and lease losses divided by loans and leases outstanding at the end of the period.

Note: Ratios do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option.


Credit quality continued to improve in the first quarter of 2014, with net charge-offs declining across nearly all major portfolios and the provision for credit losses decreasing from the year-ago quarter. The number of 30+ days performing delinquent loans, excluding fully-insured loans, declined across all consumer portfolios from the year-ago quarter, again reaching record low levels in the U.S. Credit Card portfolio. Additionally, reservable criticized balances and nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties also continued to decline, down 15 percent and 22 percent from the year-ago period.

Net charge-offs were $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2014, down from $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2013.

The provision for credit losses was $1.0 billion, a decline of $704 million from the first quarter of 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, the reserve release was $379 million compared to a reserve release of $804 million in the first quarter of 2013. The reduction in provision was driven by portfolio improvement, including increased home prices in consumer real estate, as well as lower levels of delinquencies across the consumer lending portfolio. This was partially offset by higher provision for credit losses in the commercial portfolio as the decline in net charge-offs was more than offset by increased reserve build.

The allowance for loan and lease losses to annualized net charge-off coverage ratio was 2.95 times in the first quarter of 2014, compared with 2.78 times in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2.20 times in the first quarter of 2013. The increase was due to the improvement in net charge-offs discussed above. The allowance to annualized net charge-off coverage ratio, excluding the purchased credit impaired (PCI) portfolio, was 2.58 times, 2.38 times and 1.76 times for the same periods, respectively.

Nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties were $17.7 billion at March 31, 2014, a decrease from $17.8 billion at December 31, 2013 and $22.8 billion at March 31, 2013.

1 Regulatory capital ratios are preliminary until filed with the Federal Reserve on Form Y-9C.

2 On January 1, 2014, the Basel 3 rules became effective, subject to transition provisions primarily related to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity tier 1 capital and tier 1 capital.

3 Pro forma Q4-13 capital ratios include the estimated impact of the Basel 3 transition provisions applicable for 2014 as if in effect for Q4-13 and represents a non-GAAP financial measure.

4 Tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, refer to pages 21-23 of this press release.


Basel 3 became effective for the company on January 1, 2014, subject to transition provisions primarily related to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity tier 1 capital. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio under the Basel 3 Standardized approach for measuring risk-weighted assets was 11.8 percent at March 31, 2014, up from a pro forma ratio of 11.7 percent at December 31, 2013.

Basel 3 Fully Phased-in Approaches

While the Basel 3 fully phased-in Standardized and fully phased-in Advanced approaches do not go into effect until 2018, the company is providing the following estimates for investors for comparative purposes.

The estimated common equity tier 1 capital ratio under the Basel 3 Standardized approach on a fully phased-in basis was 9.3 percent at March 31, 2014, up from 9.1 percent at December 31, 2013.

The estimated common equity tier 1 capital ratio under the Basel 3 Advanced approaches on a fully phased-in basis, was 9.9 percent, down from 10.0 percent at December 31, 2013, primarily driven by an increase in operational risk-weighted assets during the period.

In connection with the final U.S. rule and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) issued on April 8 and effective in 2018(E), the company's estimated supplementary leverage ratios were above the 5 percent supplementary leverage ratio minimum for the bank holding company and the 6 percent supplementary leverage ratio minimum for primary bank subsidiaries.

At March 31, 2014, the company's Global Excess Liquidity Sources totaled $427 billion, compared to $376 billion at December 31, 2013 and $372 billion at March 31, 2013. Long-term debt was $255 billion at March 31, 2014, up from $250 billion at December 31, 2013 and down from $280 billion at March 31, 2013. Time-to-required funding was 35 months at March 31, 2014, compared to 38 months at December 31, 2013 and 29 months at March 31, 2013.

Period-end common shares issued and outstanding were 10.53 billion at March 31, 2014, 10.59 billion at December 31, 2013 and 10.82 billion at March 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, approximately 87 million common shares were repurchased for approximately $1.4 billion at an average price of $16.63 per share.

On March 26, the company announced that it plans to increase its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.05 per share, beginning in the second quarter of 2014. Also, the Board of Directors authorized a new $4.0 billion common stock repurchase program. This authorization, which covers both common stock and warrants, replaces the prior year’s common stock repurchase program that expired on March 31, 2014.

Tangible book value per share(I) was $13.81 at March 31, 2014, compared to $13.79 at December 31, 2013 and $13.36 at March 31, 2013. Book value per share was $20.75 at March 31, 2014, compared to $20.71 at December 31, 2013 and $20.19 at March 31, 2013.

End Notes

A Fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis is a non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, refer to pages 22-23 of this press release. Net interest income on a GAAP basis was $10.1 billion, $10.8 billion and $10.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Total revenue, net of interest expense, on a GAAP basis was $22.6 billion, $21.5 billion and $23.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

B Total revenue, net of interest expense, on an FTE basis excluding net DVA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net DVA gains (losses) were $112 million, $(617) million and $(145) million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

C Rankings per Dealogic as of April 1, 2014.

D Basel 3 common equity tier 1 capital ratios on a fully phased-in basis are non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, refer to page 18 of this press release. Fully phased-in Basel 3 estimates for March 31, 2014 were calculated under the Standardized or Advanced approaches of the Basel 3 rules released by the Federal Reserve, as indicated, assuming all regulatory model approvals, except for the potential reduction to risk-weighted assets resulting from the removal of the Comprehensive Risk Measure surcharge.

E The supplementary leverage ratio includes the estimated increase to the supplementary leverage exposure in accordance with the U.S. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking approved on April 8, 2014. For the first quarter of 2014, the supplementary leverage ratio is measured using the quarter-end tier 1 capital calculated under Basel 3 on a fully phased-in basis, divided by the simple average of the sum of on-balance sheet assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures, including, among other items, derivative and securities financing transactions, at the end of each month in the quarter.

F Revenue, sales and trading revenue, international revenue and net income (loss) excluding the impact of net DVA are non-GAAP financial measures. Net DVA gains (losses) were $112 million, $(617) million and $(145) million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. During the first quarter of 2014, the management of structured liabilities and the associated DVA were moved into Global Markets from All Other to better align the performance risk of these instruments. As such, net DVA represents the combined total of net DVA on derivatives and structured liabilities. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

G Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA is a non-GAAP financial measure. FICC net DVA gains (losses) were $80 million, $(535) million and $(149) million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

H Equity sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Equities net DVA gains (losses) were $32 million, $(82) million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

I Tangible book value per share of common stock is a non-GAAP financial measure. Other companies may define or calculate this measure differently. For reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, refer to pages 22-23 of this press release.

(1) The diluted earnings (loss) per common share excludes the effect of any equity instruments that are antidilutive to earnings per share. The number of antidilutive equity instruments was higher in the first quarter of 2014 due to the net loss.

(2) Return on average tangible shareholders' equity and tangible book value per share of common stock are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation. Other companies may define or calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. See Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures on pages 21-23.

(3) Ratios do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option during the period. Charge-off ratios are annualized for the quarterly presentation.)

(4) Balances do not include past due consumer credit card, consumer loans secured by real estate where repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and individually insured long-term stand-by agreements (fully-insured home loans), and in general, other consumer and commercial loans not secured by real estate; purchased credit-impaired loans even though the customer may be contractually past due; nonperforming loans held-for-sale; nonperforming loans accounted for under the fair value option; and nonaccruing troubled debt restructured loans removed from the purchased credit-impaired portfolio prior to January 1, 2010.)

(5) Regulatory capital ratios are preliminary until filed with the Federal Reserve on Form Y-9C.)

(6) On January 1, 2014, the Basel 3 rules became effective, subject to transition provisions primarily related to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital. We reported under Basel 1 (which included the Market Risk Final Rules) at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013.)

(7) On a pro-forma basis, under the transition provisions for the Basel 3 Standardized approach (Basel 3 Standardized transition), fourth quarter 2013 common equity tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets would have been $153,502 million and $1,315,994 million.

(8) Tier 1 common capital ratio equals Tier 1 capital excluding preferred stock, trust preferred securities, hybrid securities and minority interest divided by risk-weighted assets.)

(9) Tangible equity ratio equals period-end tangible shareholders' equity divided by period-end tangible assets. Tangible common equity ratio equals period-end tangible common shareholders' equity divided by period-end tangible assets. Tangible shareholders' equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation. Other companies may define or calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. See Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures on pages 21-23.

(10) Based on the Basel 3 Advanced approaches, assuming all regulatory model approvals, except for the potential reduction to risk-weighted assets resulting from the removal of the Comprehensive Risk Measure surcharge.)

Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in millions)

The Corporation evaluates its business based on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Corporation believes managing the business with net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. Total revenue, net of interest expense, includes net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis and noninterest income. The Corporation views related ratios and analyses (i.e., efficiency ratios and net interest yield) on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. To derive the fully taxable-equivalent basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, the Corporation uses the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The efficiency ratio measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, and net interest yield measures the basis points the Corporation earns over the cost of funds.

The Corporation also evaluates its business based on the following ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible equity represents an adjusted shareholders' equity or common shareholders' equity amount which has been reduced by goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Corporation's earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders' equity. The tangible common equity ratio represents adjusted ending common shareholders' equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Return on average tangible shareholders' equity measures the Corporation's earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average total shareholders' equity. The tangible equity ratio represents adjusted ending shareholders' equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Tangible book value per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders' equity divided by ending common shares outstanding. These measures are used to evaluate the Corporation's use of equity. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models all use return on average tangible shareholders' equity as key measures to support our overall growth goals.

In addition, the Corporation evaluates its business segment results based on measures that utilize average allocated capital. The Corporation allocates capital to its business segments using a methodology that considers the effect of regulatory capital requirements in addition to internal risk-based capital models. The Corporation's internal risk-based capital models use a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each segment's credit, market, interest rate, business and operational risk components. Return on average allocated capital is calculated as net income, adjusted for cost of funds and earnings credits and certain expenses related to intangibles, divided by average allocated capital. Allocated capital and the related return both represent non-GAAP financial measures. Allocated capital is reviewed periodically and refinements are made based on multiple considerations that include, but are not limited to, business segment exposures and risk profile, regulatory constraints and strategic plans. As part of this process, in the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation adjusted the amount of capital being allocated to its business segments. This change resulted in a reduction of the unallocated capital, which is reflected in All Other, and an aggregate increase to the amount of capital being allocated to the business segments. Prior periods were not restated.

See the tables below and on pages 22-23 for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to financial measures defined by GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013. The Corporation believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
