Suntrust Banks 8K Regulation FD Disclosure | SEC 6 Jun 06

The following should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and other information contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2006 on Form 10-Q and the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures to describe SunTrust’s performance. The reconciliation of those measures to GAAP measures can be found in the appendix of this presentation, as well as in SunTrust’s earnings press releases, which can be found on SunTrust’s website in the news section of the investor relations pages. In this presentation, net interest income, net interest margin and the efficiency ratio are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis, and ratios are presented on an annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

Building In Our Attractive Footprint

SunTrust recognizes our high growth footprint and we are building branches in key areas

Source: SNL, 03/31/06.

We have added more new branches in the footprint than competition

New Branch Activity in the SunTrust Footprint

The building of new branches since 2003 have been strategically located in high growth areas

The branch mix has shifted toward in-store growth as a complement to the large traditional network

Recognizing Benefits With In-Store Banking

SunTrust is a major in-store player with more than 20% of branches as in-store locations

We are aggressively targeting the in-store channel as a key strategy to:

Reduce capital expenditures and operating costs

The cost to construct an in-store is 1/7th the cost of a traditional branch

Operating costs run at 60% the expense of a traditional branch

Break even in less than 2 years

Increase deposits

Additional client prospects

More rapidly expand the network

Hub and spoke branching provides organic growth and extended reach at the lowest relative cost

Optimizing The Branch Network

Hub and Spoke

Traditional Branch

In-store Branch

A healthy mix of new and established traditional and in-store branches develops a cost advantageous hub and spoke strategy to capture new households, service existing clients with increased accessibility, and grow deposits

We are approaching in-stores differently to maximize deposits and household growth at a faster rateâ€¦

Increased Marketing and Grand Openings

Promotions and specific in-store pricing

Investing in new in-store and traditional branches results in household growth

New Branches Create Household Growth

New branches opened since 2003 represent only 9% of our branch network, yet contribute 21% of our net new checking households

Our average owned deposits per in-store branch increased 9% over Q1 2005

Net New Checking Households

Average Owned Deposits per SunTrust In-Store Branch

Expanding With De Novo Hub And Spoke

Retail is leveraging a mix of in-store branches with traditional branches in Charleston, SC

The 2006 new branch pipeline includes the de novo market entrance into Charleston with plans to open 16 branches by 20081

Six branches opened in April 2006, using the hub and spoke strategy

2 traditional branches

4 BI-LO in-store branches

Future branches will fill-in gaps

Adding the retail presence to Charleston displays our expansion strategy of targeting high growth locations with full service banking offerings including:

Personal Bankers

Wealth Managers

Retirement Strategists

Commercial Bankers

1Actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by such statements. A list of important factors that could affect actual results are listed on slide 1.

Expanding Into New Locations

Initial results from Charleston demonstrate the success of having a quick time-to-market using a blend of traditional and in-store locations

Key factors in the successful results include:

SunTrust is the first bank to do Fed Send through Viewpointe for image exchange. This positions us to exchange images directly with the Fed for banks where we do not have a direct partnership

Servicing Overview

Risk Management: Our Balanced Business Strategy

Strategy Highlights:

Retain Servicing associated with 90%+ of originated volume

Retain “Portfolio” production as held for investment: Hybrid (i.e. 3/1, 5/1, 7/1) ARMs, closed-end second lien mortgages, and construction-permanent loans

Sell whole loans servicing released for products which do not fit our risk profile

Use natural hedge of servicing and the mortgage portfolio to offset the cyclicality of loan origination business

Balanced Business Strategy

Balanced Business Strategy

MSR Amortization increases due to faster prepayment, which decreases servicing income

In a falling rate environment new production at higher margins offsets greater servicing asset amortization

Balanced Business Strategy

Slower prepayment speeds result in lower mortgage servicing rights amortization

SunTrust Mortgage uses selective servicing sales to reduce risk

Portfolio ARM products are desired by borrowers and balances grow

In a rising rate environment servicing income grows through slower prepayment speeds, offsetting lower production volumes and income

Profitability

Retail, Broker and Correspondent Production

Servicing & Portfolio

The Advantage of the Natural Hedge vs. the Financial Hedge

MSRs represent 90 bps of non-portfolio balances – among lowest in the industry

MSR book value equals $681 million; market value exceeds $1 billion

Net positive value is a result of our balanced business approach – no cash hedge losses

Given the cyclical nature of the business, we believe it is prudent to reduce some of our risk to falling rates

Today’s Messages

CIB has changed significantly from the business it was five years ago

We were a Corporate Banking business that cross-sold capital markets products

We are now a Capital Markets business that leverages the commitment of capital

To drive future growth, we’re focused on developing products that meet the needs of our key client segments

CIB’s Debt Capital Markets is a growth business for SunTrust

Corporations want an alternative to the three mega-CIBs and the investment banking monolines

The exit of two major debt capital markets players (Bank One and Fleet) has created additional opportunities for SunTrust

A number of our products are in the early stages of development with great upside potential

Corporate Banking Client Base

Focus on growing Economic Profit and improving risk adjusted return on capital (“RAROC”)

As of March 31, 2006

Another View of Loan Loss Reserve Adequacy

Portfolio Management Committee

The Bank has established a formal process to periodically review credit portfolio performance by LOB, geography, industry, and counterparty risk concentrations. This data will be viewed in a risk/reward framework

There are several key ways in which the new approach will add economic value:

Portfolio performance will be improved by a better understanding of the value creation process and the trade-offs required for optimal use of scarce or excess capital (regulatory and economic)

Pricing and origination strategies will be managed in a more dynamic manner using standardized, consistently applied and comprehensive metrics across our franchise

The Portfolio Management Committee has been formed to facilitate the most efficient use of SunTrust’s regulatory and economic capital resources

Desired High-Level Outcomes

Leverage Economic Capital Usage:

Optimize usage of available Credit Capital

Define Capital Allocation methodology and process

Align business strategies and incentives

Develop strategies to increase RAROC, ROE, Risk-Adjusted NIM

Tactical Improvement of Key Performance Metrics:

Understand options for short-term improvements

What-if capability for forecasting/simulation

Impact analysis on key metrics

Actionable tactics via:

LOB Marketing initiatives

Balance Sheet Management

Portfolio Management

Input from Credit into Financial Forecast

Credit Management:

Credit Process management

Credit origination internal controls

Compliance Monitoring regarding systems and data

Portfolio Measurement and Credit Capital Allocation

Risk appetite

Portfolio management metrics and methodology

The Portfolio Management Committee is in the formative stages at SunTrust; however, three principal work tracks are under discussion/development

Changing the Paradigm of Balance Sheet Management

Historical

Future

EPS growth is good as long as risk is low

Balance EPS objectives with other financial ratios (ROA, NIM, etc.)

Balance sheet usage driven by business line ability to originate

Largely â€˜buy and hold’ philosophy

Balance sheet usage planned, monitored and actively managed, as a whole, through the Portfolio Management Committee and ALCO processes

Consideration of multiple alternatives for liquid asset classes. Promotion of specialization

Current Projects in Portfolio Management Committee

Balance Home Equity production by reevaluating production channels, pricing disciplines, cross-sell requirements and underwriting guidelines. Identification of populations which meet more balanced risk/reward dynamics and development of effective marketing programs:

Adjustments to acquisition criteria

Enhanced branch sales efforts

Examination of alternative acquisition strategies through broadened wholesale channels or portfolio purchases

Active management of the mortgage portfolio by evaluating its existing characteristics, modeling portfolio behaviors under various scenarios and developing a series of strategies about the ultimate size and composition of the portfolio

The process is focused on two current opportunities: Home Equity and Mortgage portfolios

Appendix

SunTrust presents total noninterest income and total revenue excluding realized securities gains/losses and the net gain on the sale of RCM assets. The Company believes total noninterest income and total revenue without securities gains/losses is more indicative of the Company’s performance because it isolates income that is primarily customer relationship and customer transaction driven. SunTrust further excludes the net gain on the sale of RCM assets because the Company believes the exclusion of the net gain is more indicative of normalized operations.

SunTrust presents selected financial data on a basis that excludes merger expense, which represent incremental costs to integrate the operations of National Commerce Financial ("NCF"). The Company also presents selected financial data that further excludes the net gain related to the sale of RCM assets. The Company believes the exclusion of these two measures is more reflective of normalized operations.

The Company presents noninterest expense before an impairment charge on Affordable Housing Properties, amortization of intangible assets and merger expense. The Company believes the exclusion of these measures provides better comparability and is more reflective of normalized operations.
