“It was a strong earnings quarter for Fifth Third and we’re pleased with our results,” said Kevin Kabat, President and CEO of Fifth Third Bancorp. “That was the case with or without the earnings benefit from Vantiv. We continue to see solid growth in commercial lending volumes and fee income results were particularly strong in the mortgage banking, corporate banking, and investment advisory businesses.

“The successful Vantiv IPO marks a new stage of development for this business. When we initially sold an interest in Vantiv in mid-2009, we anticipated that this moment would arrive. Since that time, through a lot of hard work, this business was established as an independent entity and it reported revenue of $1.6 billion for the year ended 2011. Fifth Third continues to hold a 39% economic interest in the firm, whose stock was valued at $4.2 billion at the end of the first quarter. As previously announced, we intend to repurchase common shares in the amount of the after-tax IPO gains of approximately $75 million.

“Additionally, a couple of weeks ago we announced the sale of various Fifth Third retail stock and bond and money market funds. While these operations are small relative to Fifth Third as a whole, the transactions will allow us to better focus on our client advisory and distribution capabilities.

“It was a good start to 2012. We feel good about our momentum and positioning in this environment, and will continue to execute our strategic plans to make this a great year for the company.”

Net interest income of $903 million on a fully taxable equivalent basis declined $17 million from the fourth quarter of 2011, with a $16 million decrease in interest income and $1 million increase in interest expense. The decline in interest income was primarily attributable to lower yields on loans given the current interest rate environment partially offset by balance growth in C&I, commercial lease, residential mortgage, and auto loans. Additionally, interest income declined as a result of lower reinvestment rates on securities and higher securities premium amortization expense due to increased prepayments. Interest expense results benefitted from the run-off in consumer CDs and their replacement into lower yielding products. This benefit was offset by the impact of hedge ineffectiveness, which increased $5 million in the quarter. Day count also reduced net interest income by $6 million sequentially.

The net interest margin was 3.61 percent, a decrease of 6 bps from 3.67 percent in the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower loan yields which reduced the margin by 7 bps, lower securities yields reducing margin by 2 bps, and hedge ineffectiveness which reduced the margin by 2 bps. Deposit mix shift and day count each contributed 2 bps to the margin.

Compared with the first quarter of 2011, net interest income increased $19 million, driven by higher average loan balances, run-off in higher-priced CDs, mix shift to lower cost deposit products, and day count, offset by lower asset yields. The net interest margin decreased 10 bps from a year ago.

Securities

Average securities and other short-term investments were $16.7 billion in the first quarter of 2012 compared with $17.2 billion in the previous quarter and $17.3 billion in the first quarter of 2011. The decline was related to lower short-term investment balances reflecting lower cash balances held at the Fed.

Average loan and lease balances (excluding loans held-for-sale) increased $1.6 billion, or 2 percent, sequentially and increased 5 percent from the first quarter of 2011. Period end balances increased 1 percent sequentially and 6 percent from a year ago.

Average commercial portfolio loan and lease balances were up $1.3 billion sequentially, or 3 percent, and increased $2.5 billion, or 6 percent, from the first quarter of 2011. Average C&I loans increased 5 percent sequentially and 15 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011. Average commercial mortgage and commercial construction loan balances declined by a combined 3 percent sequentially and 13 percent from the same period the previous year, reflecting continued low customer demand and current underwriting standards. Commercial line usage, on an end of period basis, was 32.1 percent of committed lines in the first quarter of 2012 compared with 31.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 33.3 percent in the first quarter of 2011.

Average consumer portfolio loan and lease balances were up $309 million sequentially, or 1 percent, and increased $1.4 billion, or 4 percent, from the first quarter of 2011. Average residential mortgage loans increased 3 percent sequentially, reflecting strong originations and refinancing activity during the quarter as rates remained at historically low levels,as well as the continued retention of certain branch originated fixed-rate residential mortgages, primarily with shorter terms, which added $286 million on an end of period basis in the first quarter. Compared with the first quarter of 2011, average residential mortgage loans increased 17 percent and reflected the previously mentioned retention of mortgages. Average auto loans increased 2 percent sequentially and 7 percent year-over-year driven by strong origination volumes. The growth outlined above was partially offset by lower home equity loan balances, which declined 2 percent sequentially and 7 percent year-over-year due to lower demand and production.

5

Average loans held-for-sale of $2.3 billion decreased $107 million sequentially and increased $514 million compared with the first quarter of 2011. Period end loans held-for-sale declined $1.4 billion from the previous quarter due to high year-end mortgage balances and first quarter deliveries.

(a) Includes commercial customer Eurodollar sweep balances for which the Bancorp pays rates comparable to other commercial deposit accounts.

Average core deposits increased 1 percent sequentially and increased 5 percent from the first quarter of 2011, as transaction deposit growth was partially offset by continued run-off of other time deposits. Average transaction deposits, excluding other time deposits, increased 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 primarily driven by higher interest checking balances, reflecting account migration from foreign office deposits. Year-over-year growth of 10 percent was driven by higher DDA and interest checking, partially offset by lower foreign office and money market account balances reflecting the aforementioned account migration.

Consumer average transaction deposits increased 1 percent sequentially and 7 percent from the first quarter of 2011. Transaction deposit growth for both comparison periods reflected higher DDA, interest checking, and savings balances, which were partially offset by lower money market balances. Consumer CDs included in core deposits declined 8 percent sequentially, driven by customer reluctance to purchase longer CD maturities given the current low rate environment, and declined 38 percent year-over-year, driven by maturities of higher-rate CDs.

Commercial average transaction deposits increased 3 percent sequentially and 14 percent from the previous year. Sequential growth reflected higher inflows to interest checking, including public funds balances, partially offset by lower DDA and foreign office deposits reflecting the previously mentioned account migration into domestic interest-bearing checking products. Year-over-year growth was primarily driven by higher inflows to DDAs and interest checking balances, partially offset by lower foreign office deposits and money market account balances. Average public funds balances were $6.2 billion compared with $5.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $5.9 billion in the first quarter of 2011.

NM: Not Meaningful

Noninterest income of $769 million increased $219 million sequentially, or 40 percent, and increased $185 million, or 32 percent, compared with year ago results. The sequential and year-over year increases were driven by the net benefit of Vantiv’s IPO, related debt refinancing, and warrant gains; lower charges on the Visa total return swap; and higher mortgage banking and corporate banking net revenue.

First quarter 2012 noninterest income results included $115 million in gains from Vantiv’s IPO, as well as the estimated $36 million charge recorded in equity method earnings related to Vantiv’s debt refinancing and related termination charges. First quarter 2012 results also included a $46 million positive valuation adjustment on the warrant and put option related to the 2009 sale of a 51 percent interest in our processing business, compared with $10 million in positive valuation adjustments on these instruments in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $2 million in negative valuation adjustments on these instruments in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 also included a $19 million charge related to the increase in fair value of the liability related to the total return swap entered into as part of the 2009 sale of Visa, Inc. Class B shares; this compares with a $54 million charge in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a $9 million charge in the first quarter of 2011. Excluding these items, as well as investment securities gains in all periods, noninterest income increased approximately $64 million, or 11 percent, from the previous quarter and approximately $66 million, or 11 percent, from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to higher mortgage banking and corporate banking net revenue.

Service charges on deposits of $129 million decreased 5 percent from the fourth quarter and increased 4 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Retail service charges declined 10 percent sequentially primarily due to seasonally lower overdraft occurrences in the first quarter and declined 1 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011. Commercial service charges decreased 1 percent sequentially and increased 7 percent compared with results a year ago primarily due to increased account growth.

Corporate banking revenue of $97 million increased 18 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased 13 percent from the same period last year. The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily driven by higher syndication fees due to increased market and business activity during the first quarter. Higher business lending fees, institutional sales revenue, and lease-related fees also contributed to the sequential and year-over-year growth.

Mortgage banking net revenue was $204 million in the first quarter of 2012, a 31 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2011 and up 100 percent from the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 originations were $6.4 billion, compared with $7.1 billion in the previous quarter and $3.9 billion in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 originations resulted in gains of $174 million on mortgages sold reflecting higher gain on sale margins and deliveries of previously originated mortgages. This compares with gains of $152 million during the previous quarter and $62 million during the first quarter of 2011. Mortgage servicing fees this quarter were $61 million, compared with $58 million in both the fourth quarter and the first quarter of 2011. Mortgage banking net revenue is also affected by net servicing asset value adjustments, which include mortgage servicing rights (MSR) amortization and MSR valuation adjustments (including mark-to-market adjustments on free-standing derivatives used to economically hedge the MSR portfolio). These net servicing asset valuation adjustments were negative $31 million in the first quarter of 2012 (reflecting MSR amortization of $46 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $15 million); negative $54 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (MSR amortization of $47 million and MSR valuation adjustments of negative $7 million); and negative $18 million in the first quarter of 2011 (MSR amortization of $28 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $10 million). The mortgage servicing asset, net of the valuation reserve, was $767 million at quarter end on a servicing portfolio of $60 billion.

There were no gains or losses on securities held as non-qualifying hedges for the MSR portfolio in the first quarter of 2012, compared with net losses of $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and net gains of $5 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Investment advisory revenue of $96 million increased 7 percent sequentially and was down 1 percent from the first quarter of 2011. Sequential growth was driven by higher tax-related private client services revenue, which is seasonally strong in the first quarter, as well as securities and brokerage revenue and institutional trust fees. The year-over-year decline was driven by lower mutual fund fees, partially offset by higher private client services revenue, which reflected an overall increase in equity and bond market values.

Card and processing revenue was $59 million in the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 2 percent sequentially and 27 percent from the first quarter of 2011. The sequential decrease reflected lower transaction volumes compared with seasonally strong fourth quarter volumes. The year-over-year decline was driven by the approximately $30 million impact of the recently enacted debit interchange legislation, partially offset by increased transaction volumes and initial mitigation activity.

Other noninterest income totaled $175 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $24 million in the previous quarter and $81 million in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 results included $115 million in gains related to Vantiv’s IPO. Equity method earnings from our processing business equity interest are included in other income and in the first quarter included the previously mentioned $36 million estimated debt

termination charges incurred by Vantiv in refinancing its bank debt facilities. Because Vantiv is now a public company which has not yet reported first quarter earnings, we expect to have additional information related to our equity method earnings results in our quarterly filings on Form 10-Q. In addition, other noninterest income includes changes in income related to the valuation of the total return swap entered into as part of the 2009 sale of Visa, Inc. Class B shares and effects of the valuation of warrant and put option related to the processing business sale. For periods ending March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, and March 31, 2011, reductions in income related to the Visa, Inc. total return swap were $19 million, $54 million, and $9 million, respectively; and the impact of warrant and put option valuation adjustments of positive $46 million, positive $10 million, and negative $2 million, respectively. Excluding the items detailed above, other noninterest income increased approximately $1 million from the previous quarter and decreased approximately $23 million from the first quarter of 2011.

Net credit-related costs recognized in other noninterest income were $14 million in the first quarter of 2012 versus $33 million last quarter and $3 million in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 results included $5 million of net gains on sales of commercial loans held-for-sale and $1 million of fair value charges on commercial loans held-for-sale, as well as $17 million of losses on other real estate owned (OREO). Fourth quarter 2011 results included $9 million of net gains on sales of commercial loans held-for-sale and $18 million of fair value charges on commercial loans held-for-sale, as well as $22 million of losses on OREO. First quarter 2011 results included net gains of $17 million on the sale of loans held-for-sale, $16 million of fair value charges on commercial loans held-for-sale, and $2 million of losses on OREO.

Net gains on investment securities were $9 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with investment securities gains of $5 million in the previous quarter and $8 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Noninterest expense of $973 million decreased 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased 6 percent from the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 expenses included $23 million of income from an agreement reached on certain outstanding disputes for non-income tax related assessments, $13 million in additions to litigation reserves, $9 million in debt termination charges, and $6 million in severance expense. Fourth quarter 2011 expenses included $14 million in additions to litigation reserves related to bankcard association membership and $5 million in other litigation reserve additions. First quarter 2011 expenses

included debt extinguishment gains which reduced other noninterest expense by $3 million. Excluding these items, noninterest expense decreased $6 million, or 1 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2011, despite the inclusion of seasonally high FICA and unemployment costs, and increased $47 million, or 5 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher compensation costs reflecting strong revenue results in mortgage and corporate banking as well as higher employee benefits expense.

Credit costs related to problem assets recorded as noninterest expense totaled $34 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $44 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $31 million in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter credit-related expenses included provisioning for mortgage repurchases of $15 million, compared with $18 million in the fourth quarter and $8 million a year ago. (Realized mortgage repurchase losses were $17 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $17 million last quarter and $24 million in the first quarter of 2011.) Provision for unfunded commitments was a benefit of $2 million in the current quarter, compared with benefits of $6 million last quarter and $16 million a year ago. Derivative valuation adjustments related to customer credit risk were a positive $4 million this quarter versus positive $5 million last quarter and net zero a year ago. OREO expense was $5 million this quarter, compared with $8 million last quarter and $13 million a year ago. Other problem asset-related expenses were $19 million in the first quarter, compared with $28 million the previous quarter and $26 million in the same period last year primarily driven by lower work-out related expenses.

C&I portfolio NPAs of $474 million decreased $35 million from the previous quarter. Within the overall commercial loan portfolio, residential real estate builder and developer portfolio NPAs of $123 million declined $32 million from the fourth quarter, of which $9 million were commercial construction assets, $38 million were commercial mortgage assets and $76 million were C&I assets. Commercial portfolio NPAs included $157 million of nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), compared with $160 million last quarter.

First quarter OREO balances included in portfolio NPA balances described above were $314 million, down $50 million from the fourth quarter, and included $236 million in commercial OREO and $78 million in consumer OREO. Repossessed personal property of $8 million consisted largely of autos.

Loans still accruing over 90 days past due were $216 million, up $16 million, or 8 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2011. Commercial balances 90 days past due of $32 million increased $24 million sequentially from very low levels in the fourth quarter. Consumer balances 90 days past due of $184 million were down $8 million from the previous quarter. Loans 30-89 days past due of $365 million decreased $87 million, or 19 percent, from the previous quarter. Commercial balances 30-89 days past due of $72 million were down $26 million sequentially and consumer balances 30-89 days past due of $293 million decreased $61 million from the fourth quarter.

At quarter-end, we held $117 million of commercial nonaccrual loans for sale, compared with $138 million at the end of the fourth quarter. During the quarter we sold approximately $13 million of non-accrual held-for-sale loans; we transferred approximately $4 million of non-accrual commercial loans from the portfolio to loans held-for-sale, and we transferred approximately $3 million of loans from loans held-for-sale to OREO. We recorded negative valuation adjustments of $1 million on held-for-sale loans and we recorded net gains of $5 million on loans that were sold or settled during the quarter.

(a) The tangible equity, tangible common equity, tier I common equity and tangible book value per share ratios, while not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), are considered to be critical metrics with which to analyze banks. The ratios have been included herein to facilitate a greater understanding of the Bancorp’s capital structure and financial condition. See the Regulation G Non-GAAP Reconciliation table for a reconciliation of these ratios to U.S. GAAP.

(b) Under the banking agencies risk-based capital guidelines, assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. The resulting weighted values are added together resulting in the Bancorp’s total risk weighted assets.

(c) Current period regulatory capital data ratios are estimated.

Capital ratios were very strong during the quarter and reflected growth in retained earnings. Compared with the prior quarter, the Tier 1 common equity ratio* increased 29 bps to 9.64 percent. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* was 9.02 percent (excluding unrealized gains/losses) and 9.37 percent (including unrealized gains/losses). The Tier 1 capital ratio increased 28 bps to 12.19 percent. The Total capital ratio decreased 3 bps to 16.06 percent and the Leverage ratio increased 21 bps to 11.31 percent.

Book value per share at March 31, 2011 was $14.30 and tangible book value per share* was $11.64, compared with December 31, 2011 book value per share of $13.92 and tangible book value per share of $11.25.

The Basel Committee has proposed new capital rules for Internationally Active banks, known as “Basel III.” Fifth Third is subject to U.S. bank regulations for capital, which have not yet been issued in response to the Basel proposals. Fifth Third’s capital levels exceed current U.S. “well-capitalized” standards and proposed Basel III capital standards, and we expect Fifth Third’s capital levels to continue to exceed U.S. “well-capitalized” standards including the adoption of U.S. rules that incorporate changes contemplated under Basel III and/or the Dodd-Frank Act.

We expect to manage our capital structure over time – including the components represented by common equity and non-common equity – to adapt to and reflect the effect of legislation, changes in U.S. bank capital regulations that reflect international capital rules developments, regulatory expectations, and our goals for capital levels and capital composition as appropriate given any changes in rules.

* Non-GAAP measure; See Reg. G reconciliation on page 32

Fifth Third’s Tier 1 and Total capital levels at March 31, 2012 included $2.2 billion of TruPS, or 2.1 percent of risk weighted assets. Under the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation, these TruPS are intended to be phased out of Tier 1 capital over three years beginning in 2013. The Basel Committee also issued proposals that would include a phase-out of these securities, although over a longer period. We will continue to evaluate the role of these types of securities in our capital structure, based on regulatory developments. To the extent these types of securities remain outstanding during and after the phase-in period, they would be expected to continue to be included in Total capital, subject to prevailing U.S. capital standards. The Basel Committee has also proposed adjustments to definitions of capital, including what is to be included in the definition of Tier 1 common, and to risk weightings applied to certain types of assets. We do not currently expect these proposed adjustments, if adopted into U.S. banking regulations, to negatively affect Fifth Third’s Tier 1 common capital levels and for any potentially positive effect to be modest.

Fifth Third is one of 31 large U.S. Bank Holding Companies (BHCs) subject to the Federal Reserve’s (FRB) Capital Plans Rule which was issued November 22, 2011 and is subject to the FRB’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis & Review process for 19 large U.S. BHCs. Under this rule, we are required to submit an annual capital plan to the Federal Reserve, for its objection or non-objection. Fifth Third submitted its capital plan on January 9, 2012, as required. The submitted plan included an evaluation of results under four required macroeconomic scenarios: a baseline and stress scenario determined by the firms, and a baseline and stress scenario provided by the FRB. As required, the plan also included those capital actions Fifth Third intends to pursue or contemplate during the period covered by the FRB’s response, which was for 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. As previously disclosed, our plan for the covered period included the possibility that we would increase our common dividend and would initiate common share repurchases, although any such actions would be based on the FRB’s non-objection, environmental conditions, earnings results, our capital position, and other factors, as well as approval by the Fifth Third Board of Directors, at the time.

On March 13, 2012, the FRB provided a response to Fifth Third that included no objection to Fifth Third’s current common dividend level, plans to repurchase common shares in an amount equal to any after-tax gains on the sale of Vantiv shares, and the potential to redeem $1.4 billion in TruPS, and included an objection to other plans to increase the common dividend and initiate additional common share repurchases. We do not believe that the FRB’s objection was based on our financial condition. In its analysis published on March 13, 2012 of stress scenario results for the 19 CCAR banks, the FRB indicated that Fifth Third’s stressed capital levels would exceed all minimum capital standards, including the assumption that Fifth Third pursued the capital actions it assumed under baseline scenario conditions during and after the covered period subject to Federal Reserve non-objection. We are working with the FRB and currently expect to resubmit our capital plan in late May or early June, using updated macroeconomic scenarios as of March 31, 2012. The Capital Plans Rule provides the Fed will respond no later than 75 days after resubmission. We would currently expect the resubmitted plan to include capital actions and distributions substantially similar to those included in our original submission, subject to our evaluation of the scenarios and results and Board consideration and approval of the plan.

Following Vantiv, LLC’s initial public offering, Fifth Third Bank owns 84 million shares representing a 39 percent interest in Vantiv Holding, LLC, formerly Fifth Third Processing Solutions, LLC. This interest is recorded on Fifth Third’s balance sheet as an equity method investment with a book value of approximately $600 million. Based upon Vantiv’s closing price of $19.63 on March 30, 2012, our interest in Vantiv was valued at $1.6 billion. The difference between the market value and our book value is not recognized in Fifth Third’s equity or capital. Additionally, Fifth Third has a warrant to purchase additional shares in Vantiv which is carried as a derivative asset at a fair value of $157 million. To date, Fifth Third has recognized approximately $1.9 billion in pre-tax gains on the sale of the processing business and the Vantiv IPO.

We expect to repurchase approximately $75 million of common shares in the second quarter of 2012 as a result of our realized gains in Vantiv’s IPO. We expect to enter into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a counterparty shortly to execute these repurchases.
