BB&T achieves 18.3% growth in first quarter earnings

               WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) reported today first quarter 2002 earnings totaling $309.2 million, or $.66 per diluted share, excluding nonrecurring items. Net income, excluding nonrecurring items, increased 18.3% and diluted earnings per share increased 15.8% compared to recurring results in the first quarter of 2001.

               Net nonrecurring items for the quarter, while immaterial, were comprised of after-tax expenses of $9.4 million associated with acquisitions, offset by the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle from the implementation of a new accounting rule, which resulted in the recognition of income totaling $9.8 million.

               BB&T's first quarter 2002 results, excluding nonrecurring items, produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.75% and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 19.39%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.58% and 19.32%, respectively.

               Cash basis operating results exclude the effects of intangible assets and related amortization expenses. Excluding nonrecurring items, cash basis earnings totaled $312.0 million for the first quarter of 2002, or $.67 per diluted share. These results reflect increases of 11.9% and 9.8%, respectively, compared to results for the first quarter of 2001. Cash basis earnings for the current quarter produced an annualized return on average tangible assets of 1.80%, and an annualized return on average tangible shareholders' equity of 23.46%.

               "I am pleased to announce a strong start to 2002," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John A. Allison. "Our earnings benefited from a solid performance by our noninterest income generating businesses, improvement in our net interest margin and our continuing ability to achieve cost savings from acquisitions."

               Including nonrecurring items, net income for the first quarter of 2002 totaled $309.6 million compared to $236.5 million earned in the first quarter of 2001, an increase of 30.9%. On a diluted per share basis, net income for the quarter was $.66, up 29.4% compared to $.51 earned in 2001. Net income for the first quarter generated an annualized return on average assets of 1.76% and an annualized return on average shareholders' equity of 19.41% compared to prior year ratios of 1.43% and 17.48%, respectively.

Noninterest Income Drives Earnings Growth

               Total noninterest income, excluding nonrecurring items, was $374.7 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of 22.5% compared to the same period in 2001. This increase was driven by insurance agency commissions, mortgage banking income, investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions and service charges on deposits.

               BB&T's insurance agency network is the 10th largest in the nation. Commissions from the agency network totaled $63.9 million in the first quarter of 2002, up 52.3% compared to the first quarter last year. This significant increase reflects the Jan. 1 purchase of Cooney, Rikard & Curtin, Inc. (CRC), the largest independently owned wholesale insurance broker in the nation, as well as acquisitions of other agencies in 2002 and 2001. Excluding the effect of these acquisitions, insurance agency commissions increased 11.3%.

               BB&T enjoyed record mortgage loan originations in 2001 and continued that trend during the first quarter of this year with $2.8 billion in originations. This strong level of mortgage activity fueled a 22.7% increase in mortgage banking income in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. BB&T recorded a $9.8 million provision for the impairment of mortgage servicing rights during the quarter because low mortgage rates have spurred significant prepayments in the underlying loans. This provision was offset by securities gains. Excluding the provision, mortgage banking income increased 46.5%.

               Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions totaled $52.9 million for the quarter, an increase of 21.0% compared to the first quarter last year due to higher trading and fee income in BB&T's brokerage operations. Income from service charges on deposit accounts increased because of growth in accounts, higher transaction volume and income from purchase acquisitions. Service charges on deposits totaled $90.2 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of 13.5% compared to the first quarter of 2001.

               Excluding the effect of acquisitions accounted for as purchases, noninterest income totaled $351.8 million in the quarter, reflecting an increase of 15.0% compared to the same period in 2001.

Net Interest Margin Improves to 4.26%

               BB&T's fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $685.3 million for the first quarter, an increase of $50.9 million, or 8.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2001. The net interest margin was 4.26% for the quarter, up from 4.14% in the first quarter of 2001 and 4.20% in last year's fourth quarter. BB&T's net interest margin has increased steadily in the last year despite aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve to lower short-term interest rates.

Cost Savings from Acquisitions Aid Expense Control

                BB&T maintained excellent operating efficiency during the quarter. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2002, excluding nonrecurring items, was $533.7 million, an increase of 10.1% compared to the first quarter of 2001. However, excluding the effects of acquisitions accounted for as purchases, noninterest expense totaled $504.6 million for the current quarter, an increase of 4.1% compared to the same period last year. BB&T's cash basis efficiency ratio for the quarter was 50.1%.

Overall Loan Growth Slows

               BB&T's loan and lease portfolios totaled $50.2 billion at March 31, an increase of 8.7% compared to the first quarter of 2001. The loan category leading the increase was commercial loans and leases, which increased $3.6 billion, or 14.4%. In addition, BB&T's consumer loan portfolio increased $838.1 million, or 7.5%; revolving credit increased $93.6 million, or 10.9%; and mortgage loans decreased $488.1 million, or 5.1%. For the quarter, average total loans and leases increased 5.6% compared to the first quarter of 2001. Excluding the effects of loans acquired through purchase acquisitions and the effects of loan securitization programs, average loans and leases totaled $51.1 billion for the first quarter, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 3.4%, compared to the same period last year.

Nonperforming Assets and Loan Losses Increase as Expected

               As anticipated, BB&T's nonperforming assets and credit losses increased in the first quarter of 2002. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to .56% compared to .40% at March 31, 2001, and .53% at Dec. 31, 2001. Annualized net charge-offs were .48% of average loans and leases for the first quarter of 2002 compared to .26% in the first quarter of 2001, but down from .54% in the fourth quarter of 2001. Excluding losses at BB&T's specialized lending subsidiaries, annualized net charge-offs for the quarter were .37% of average loans and leases.

               "These levels of nonperforming assets and net charge-offs, though higher than last year because of the recession, still reflect good quality in our portfolios," said Allison. "Our credit quality stacks up very well compared to our peers and the industry. We expect our credit quality indicators to show improvement later this year assuming the economy recovers." According to the FDIC's Quarterly Banking Profile, the fourth quarter 2001 average net charge-off ratio for institutions with assets greater than $10 billion was 1.46%, and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 1.00%. Industry data for the fourth quarter of 2001 is the most current available.

BB&T Continues to Pursue Strategic Acquisitions in 2002

               On Jan. 1, BB&T acquired Birmingham, Ala.-based CRC. The transaction has substantially increased and diversified revenues from BB&T's insurance operations, as evidenced by the strong growth in agency insurance commissions during the quarter.

               On March 8, BB&T completed its acquisition of Louisville, Ky.-based MidAmerica Bancorp. The transaction marks BB&T's initial presence in the economically vibrant Louisville market. MidAmerica has $2.0 billion in assets and operates 30 banking offices in the Louisville metropolitan statistical area.

               On March 20, BB&T consummated its merger with AREA Bancshares Corporation of Owensboro, Ky. AREA has $2.9 billion in assets and operates 72 banking offices throughout Kentucky. The acquisition of AREA, combined with the MidAmerica merger, increased BB&T's assets in Kentucky to more than $5 billion and its market share in the state from 32nd to 3rd.

               BB&T Insurance Services purchased three high-quality insurance agencies during the quarter. On Jan. 2, the acquisition of O'Neal and Hinson Insurance Services of Macon, Ga., was completed. On Feb. 1, Professional Benefits Management, Inc., of Greensboro, N.C., joined the BB&T team, and on March 1, the acquisition of Kaplan Insurance Services, Inc. of Macon, Ga., was completed.

               On April 5, BB&T completed its acquisition of The Pfefferkorn Company, a mortgage banking company based in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Pfefferkorn Company has a mortgage servicing portfolio of $840 million. This acquisition further strengthens BB&T's position as the No. 1 mortgage originator in North Carolina.

               BB&T also expanded its asset management and investment banking and brokerage operations during the quarter. BB&T Asset Management announced on Jan. 31 plans to acquire Virginia Investment Counselors Inc. (VIC) of Norfolk, Va. With $1.2 billion in assets under management, VIC is an investment advisory firm offering services in 20 states. Scott & Stringfellow, BB&T's investment banking and brokerage subsidiary, announced on Jan. 28 an agreement to buy Ryan, Lee & Co. Inc., an investment banking and brokerage firm based in McLean, Va. The transaction will bolster BB&T's presence in the Washington, D.C. area.

               In addition to the mergers and acquisitions described above, BB&T completed the systems integration of F&M National Corporation of Winchester, Va., on March 18. The merger, completed in August 2001, provided BB&T with a major expansion in many excellent growth markets in Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia.

               On March 31, BB&T had $74.9 billion in assets and operated 1,132 banking offices in the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Alabama, Indiana and Washington, D.C. BB&T's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol BBT. The closing price of BB&T's common stock on April 10 was $37.96 per share.
