(c) Under the banking agencies’ Basel III Final Rule, assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet exposures are calculated according to the standardized approach for risk-weighted assets. The resulting values are added together resulting in the Bancorp’s total risk-weighted assets used in the calculation of the tier I risk-based capital and common equity tier 1 ratios beginning January 1, 2015. Current period regulatory capital ratios are estimated.

The percentages in all of the tables in this earning release are calculated on actual dollar amounts and not the rounded dollar amounts.

“Our results this quarter were solid despite the impact of expected first quarter seasonality and challenging market conditions, and reflect the strength of our franchise in generating strong shareholder returns resulting from our strategic decisions to build and invest in our businesses. We are very focused on growing businesses that will operate profitably in all environments by deepening our relationships with customers and managing our risk exposures to achieve optimal returns for our shareholders. Our quarterly results include the significant value that we have achieved in our Vantiv investment and the gain on the sale of our TDR loans, which is another step toward reducing future sources of potential volatility,” said Kevin Kabat, CEO of Fifth Third Bancorp.

“First quarter net income of $382 million, which reflected record investment advisory revenue and solid mortgage banking revenue growth, produced an ROA of 1.12% and ROE of 10.3%. These results included the impact of the NII decline associated with the changes in our deposit advance product in the quarter.

“Our loan growth, especially in the C&I category, was weaker at the end of last year which impacted the starting balances early in the quarter, but we were encouraged by better activity in February and March. Average loans increased 2 percent compared with the year ago quarter with continued strength in C&I lending, which was up 3 percent, and growth in commercial real estate and bankcard loans of 4 percent each.

“Credit results were very good, resulting in net charge-offs of 41 bps for the quarter, with commercial loan net charge-offs of 29 bps and consumer loan net charge-offs of 59 bps. Total delinquencies also continued to be at very low levels and were highlighted by total non-performing assets, which were down 11 percent compared with last quarter.

“Average core deposits were up 2 percent sequentially, with 6 percent growth in interest checking, and were up 7 percent year over year, with demand deposit growth of 10 percent.

“During the quarter, we received a non-objection from the Federal Reserve for our 2015 CCAR plan. That plan demonstrates the strength of Fifth Third’s current capital levels and our resiliency under stress conditions. We are pleased to be able to continue the measured return of capital to shareholders under our 2015 CCAR plan.”

Net interest income of $852 million on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased $36 million from the fourth quarter, as expected, primarily driven by a $21 million negative impact of the previously announced changes to the Bancorp’s deposit advance product that were effective January 1, 2015. Additionally, net interest income was negatively impacted by $13 million due to fewer days in the quarter. Otherwise, the effects of lower deposit costs and increased investment securities balances generally offset the negative effect of loan repricing during the quarter.

The net interest margin was 2.86 percent, a decrease of 10 bps from the previous quarter primarily driven by a 7 basis point impact due to the changes to the deposit advance product, 3 basis point impact of loan repricing and 2 basis point impact of higher cash balances as we continue to experience strong deposit flows. Day count benefitted the net interest margin by 3 basis points in the quarter.

Compared with the first quarter of 2014, net interest income decreased $46 million and the net interest margin decreased 36 bps. The decline in net interest income was driven by the effect of the aforementioned changes to the deposit advance product as well as continued loan repricing. Otherwise, the impact of higher investment securities balances and loan balances generally offset the impact of higher interest expense resulting from increased long-term debt balances. The decline in the net interest margin was primarily driven by the impact of loan repricing.

Securities

Average securities and other short-term investments were $29.0 billion in the first quarter of 2015 compared with $27.6 billion in the previous quarter and $22.9 billion in the first quarter of 2014. Average securities of $23.2 billion increased $733 million from the prior quarter reflecting purchases of securities. Other short-term investments average balances of $5.9 billion increased $701 million sequentially. On an end of period basis, securities balances of $27.0 billion increased $4.0 billion driven by purchases of securities towards the end of the quarter and other short-term investments decreased $3.0 billion reflecting lower cash balances held at the Federal Reserve.

Average loan and lease balances (excluding loans held-for-sale) decreased $533 million, or 1 percent, sequentially and increased $978 million, or 1 percent, from the first quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease in average loans and leases was primarily driven by declines in residential mortgage due to the transfer of certain residential mortgage loans classified as troubled debt restructurings to held-for-sale at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, which reduced average loans by $694 million. The increase from the prior year was driven by increased commercial and industrial (C&I) balances. Period end loans and leases (excluding loans held-for-sale) of $91.2 billion increased $1.2 billion sequentially, and increased $1.5 billion, or 2 percent, from a year ago primarily driven by increases in C&I loans.

Average commercial portfolio loan and lease balances increased $313 million, or 1 percent, sequentially and increased $1.5 billion, or 3 percent, from the first quarter of 2014. Average C&I loans increased $149 million from the prior quarter and increased $1.0 billion from the first quarter of 2014. Within commercial real estate, average commercial mortgage balances continued to decline and average commercial construction balances increased for the ninth consecutive quarter. In total, average commercial real estate balances increased $49 million sequentially and $341 million from the prior year. Commercial line usage, on an end of period basis, was 32 percent of committed lines in the first quarter of 2015 compared with 32 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 30 percent in the first quarter of 2014.

Average consumer portfolio loan and lease balances decreased $846 million, or 2 percent, sequentially and decreased $520 million, or 1 percent, year-over-year. Average residential mortgage loans decreased 5 percent sequentially and 2 percent from a year ago driven by loans transferred to held for sale at the end of the fourth quarter. Average auto loans declined 1 percent on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Average home equity loans declined 2 percent sequentially and 4 percent from the first quarter of 2014. Average credit card loans were flat sequentially and increased 4 percent from the first quarter of 2014.

6

Average loans held-for-sale balances of $1.2 billion increased $611 million sequentially primarily due to the transfer of certain residential mortgage loans classified as troubled debt restructurings to held-for-sale in the fourth quarter of 2014 and increased $443 million compared with the first quarter of 2014. Period end loans held-for-sale of $724 million decreased $537 million from the previous quarter due to $568 million of residential mortgage loans subsequently sold in the first quarter and decreased $56 million from the first quarter of 2014.

Average core deposits increased $1.8 billion sequentially and increased $6.7 billion, or 7 percent, from the first quarter of 2014. Average transaction deposits increased $1.8 billion from the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily driven by higher interest checking, money market account, and demand deposit balances, partially offset by lower foreign office balances. Year-over-year transaction deposits increased $6.3 billion, or 7 percent, driven by higher money market account, demand deposit, and interest checking balances, partially offset by lower savings and foreign office balances.

Average wholesale funding of $18.9 billion decreased $590 million, or 3 percent, sequentially and increased $661 million, or 4 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease was driven by a decrease in long-term debt due to $500 million of bank-level subordinated debt that matured during the quarter as well as a decrease in certificates $100,000 and over, partially offset by an increase in other short-term borrowings. The year-over-year increase in average wholesale funding reflected an increase in long-term debt due to issuances during 2014, partially offset by a decrease in certificates $100,000 and over, federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings.

Noninterest income of $660 million increased $7 million sequentially and $96 million compared with prior year results. These comparisons reflect the impacts described below.

For the quarters ending March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2014, the impacts of Vantiv warrant valuation adjustments were a positive $70 million, positive $56 million, and negative $36 million, respectively. Quarterly results also included the impact of valuation adjustments of the Visa total return swap of negative $17 million, negative $19 million, and positive $1 million in the first quarter of 2015, the fourth quarter of 2014, and the first quarter of 2014, respectively. First quarter 2015 also included a $37 million gain on the sale of held-for-sale residential mortgage loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. Excluding these items and net securities gains in all periods, noninterest income of $566 million decreased $46 million, or 8 percent, from the previous quarter and decreased $26 million, or 4 percent, from the first quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the $23 million annual payment recognized from Vantiv pursuant to the tax receivable agreement in the fourth quarter of 2014 and a decrease in corporate banking revenue, partially offset by increased mortgage banking revenue. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to lower mortgage banking net revenue and corporate banking revenue.

8

Service charges on deposits of $135 million, which were seasonally low in the first quarter, decreased 5 percent from the fourth quarter and increased 2 percent compared with the same quarter last year. The sequential decline was due to a 9 percent decrease in retail service charges due to lower overdraft occurrences as well as a 2 percent decrease in commercial service charges.

Corporate banking revenue of $92 million decreased $28 million from the fourth quarter of 2014 and $12 million from the first quarter of 2013. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a $21 million decline in syndication fees as a result of decreased activity in the market in the current quarter and compared with strong fourth quarter results, as well as a decline in business lending fees. The year-over-year decrease was driven by lower syndication fees, institutional sales revenue, and lease remarketing fees, partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange fees.

Mortgage banking net revenue was $86 million in the first quarter of 2015, up 40 percent from the fourth quarter of 2014 and down 21 percent from the first quarter of 2014. First quarter 2015 originations were $1.8 billion, compared with $1.7 billion in the previous quarter and $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2014. First quarter 2015 originations resulted in gains of $44 million on mortgages sold, compared with gains of $36 million during the previous quarter and $41 million during the first quarter of 2014. The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily driven by higher gain on sale margins due to increased refinance activity during the quarter given the low rate environment and slightly higher production. Mortgage servicing fees were $59 million this quarter, $60 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, and $62 million in the first quarter of 2014. Mortgage banking net revenue is also affected by net servicing asset valuation 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 $17 million in the first quarter of 2015 (reflecting MSR amortization of $34 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $17 million); negative $34 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 (MSR amortization of $32 million and MSR valuation adjustments of negative $2 million); and positive $6 million in the first quarter of 2014 (MSR amortization of $22 million and MSR valuation adjustments of positive $28 million). The mortgage servicing asset, net of the valuation reserve, was $788 million at quarter end on a servicing portfolio of $64 billion.

Investment advisory revenue of $108 million increased 7 percent from the fourth quarter and increased 6 percent year-over-year. The sequential increase was attributable to higher tax-related private client services revenue, which is seasonally stronger in the first quarter, as well as an increase in securities and brokerage fees due to a continued shift from transaction-based fees to recurring revenue streams. The year-over-year increase reflected an increase in personal asset management fees due to market-related growth and an increase in securities and brokerage fees.

Card and processing revenue of $71 million in the first quarter of 2015 decreased 6 percent sequentially and increased 5 percent from the first quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease reflected lower transaction volumes compared with seasonally strong fourth quarter volumes. The year-over-year increase reflects an increase in the number of actively used cards and an increase in customer spend volume.

9

Other noninterest income totaled $164 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $150 million in the previous quarter and $41 million in the first quarter of 2014. As previously described, the results included the impact of Vantiv warrant valuation adjustments, the gain on sale of troubled debt restructurings, and charges related to the valuation of the Visa total return swap. Excluding these items, other noninterest income of $74 million decreased approximately $39 million, or 35 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2014 and decreased approximately $2 million, or 3 percent, from the first quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease was primarily due to payments recognized from Vantiv pursuant to the tax receivable agreement of $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 as well as normal seasonality in Vantiv’s business as reflected in our equity method of earnings.

Net gains on investment securities were $4 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $4 million in the previous quarter and $7 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Noninterest expense of $923 million increased 1 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2014 and decreased 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2014.

First quarter 2015 expenses included $2 million in charges to litigation reserves, compared with a $3 million reversal of litigation reserves in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $51 million in charges to litigation reserves in the first quarter of 2014. Excluding these items, noninterest expense of $921 million was flat sequentially and increased $22 million, or 2 percent, year-over-year. The sequential comparison was affected by a seasonal increase in FICA and unemployment tax expense recorded in employee benefits, partially offset by lower credit-related costs and the year-over-year increase reflected higher incentive-based compensation expense and increased credit-related costs.

Credit costs related to problem assets recorded as noninterest expense totaled $14 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $33 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, and $9 million in the first quarter of 2014. Credit-related expenses included provision for mortgage repurchases that was an immaterial amount in the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014 and $3 million in the first quarter of 2014. (Realized mortgage repurchase losses were $3 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, and $10 million in the first quarter of 2014.) Provision for unfunded commitments was a benefit of $4 million in the current quarter, compared with an expense of $1 million last quarter and a benefit of $9 million a year ago. Derivative valuation adjustments related to customer credit risk

were positive $2 million for the current quarter, negative $10 million in the fourth quarter, and positive $2 million for the year ago quarter. OREO expense was $7 million, compared with $4 million last quarter and $5 million a year ago. Other problem asset-related expenses were $13 million in the first quarter, compared with $17 million in the previous quarter, and $13 million in the same period last year.

Provision for loan and lease losses totaled $69 million in the first quarter of 2015 and decreased $30 million from the fourth quarter of 2014 and was flat from the first quarter of 2014. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven by the $23 million impact in the fourth quarter of 2014 related to the transfer of certain residential mortgage loans classified as troubled debt restructurings to held-for-sale. The allowance for loan and lease losses declined $22 million sequentially reflecting the portfolio’s overall risk profile and charges to the allowance. The allowance represented 1.42 percent of total loans and leases outstanding as of quarter end, compared with 1.47 percent last quarter, and represented 247 percent of nonperforming loans and leases, and 188 percent of nonperforming assets.

(a) Excludes OREO related to government insured loans. During the first quarter of 2015, Fifth Third adopted ASU 2014-14, Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure which requires that certain government guaranteed residential real estate mortgage loans that meet specific criteria be recognized as other receivables upon foreclosure; during 2014 these assets were included in OREO in the Bancorp’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(b) Under the banking agencies Basel III Final Rule, assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet exposures are calculated based upon the standardized approach for risk-weighted assets. The resulting values are added together resulting in the Bancorp’s total risk-weighted assets.

(c) Current period regulatory capital ratios are estimated.

(d) These capital ratios were calculated under the Supervisory Agencies general risk-based capital rules (Basel I) which was in effect prior to January 1, 2015.

Capital ratios remained strong during the quarter, reflecting growth in retained earnings, the payment of preferred dividends, and share repurchase activity. The common equity Tier 1 ratio was 9.62 percent, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* was 8.41 percent (excluding unrealized gains/losses), and 8.78 percent (including unrealized gains/losses). The Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.74 percent, the total risk-based capital ratio was 14.16 percent, and the Leverage ratio was 9.61 percent.

The Basel III Final Rule was effective for the Fifth Third on January 1, 2015, subject to phase-in periods for certain of its components and other provisions. Transition provisions apply to the minimum regulatory capital ratios; regulatory capital adjustments and deductions; and non-qualifying capital instruments. Transition provisions for the regulatory capital adjustments and deductions will change the amount deducted from capital each calendar year until the transition period ends. As of March 31, 2015, Fifth Third’s regulatory capital adjustments and deductions were primarily impacted by the transition provision related to the deduction of intangible assets other than goodwill and mortgage servicing assets. Also, Fifth Third will make a one-time permanent election to not include AOCI in common equity Tier 1 capital in the March 31, 2015 regulatory filings.

Book value per share at March 31, 2015 was $17.85 and tangible book value per share* was $14.87, compared with the December 31, 2014 book value per share of $17.35 and tangible book value per share of $14.40.

As previously announced, Fifth Third entered into a share repurchase agreement with a counterparty on January 22, 2015, whereby Fifth Third would purchase approximately $180 million of its outstanding common stock. This transaction reduced Fifth Third’s first quarter share count by 8.54 million shares on January 27, 2015. Settlement of the forward contract related to this agreement is expected to occur on or before April 23, 2015. In addition, the settlement of the forward contract related to the October 20, 2014 $180 million share repurchase agreement occurred on January 5, 2015. An additional 0.79 million shares were repurchased upon completion of the agreement. In total, the incremental impact to the average diluted share count in the first quarter of 2015 was approximately 8.97 million shares due to share repurchase transactions in the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014.

On March 11, 2015, Fifth Third announced that the FRB did not object to Fifth Third’s 2015 CCAR capital plan, which included the potential increase in the quarterly common stock dividend to $0.14 per share in 2016 and the potential repurchase of common shares during the CCAR period in an amount up to $765 million. In addition, the capital plan incorporated Fifth Third’s potential repurchases of common shares in the amount of any after-tax gains from the sale of Vantiv, Inc. (“Vantiv”) stock. These capital plans were intended to maintain common equity capital levels in the current range during the CCAR period. Any such actions would be based on environmental and market conditions, earnings results, our capital position, and other factors, as well as approval by the Fifth Third Board of Directors, at the time.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 25.9 percent this quarter compared with 25.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 27.3 percent in the first quarter of 2014.

(1) Fifth Third will make a one-time permanent election to not include AOCI in common equity tier I capital in the March 31, 2015 FFIEC 031 and Y-9C filings.

(2) Key differences under Basel III in the calculation of risk-weighted assets compared to Basel I include: (1) Risk weighting for commitments under 1 year; (2) Higher risk weighting for exposures to securitizations, past due loans, foreign banks and certain commercial real estate; (3) Higher risk weighting for mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets that are under certain thresholds as a percent of Tier I capital; and (4) Derivatives are differentiated between exchange clearing and over-the-counter and the 50% risk-weight cap is removed.

(3) The Bancorp became subject to the Basel III Final Rule on January 1, 2015. This codified in the federal banking regulations the risk-based capital ratios the Bancorp is now subject to, as such these ratios are no longer considered Non-GAAP measures.
