BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) First Quarter 2012

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T,” the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T’s financial position at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and BB&T’s changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”), a federally chartered thrift institution, and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C. Branch Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses, and offers a variety of loans to businesses and consumers. Such loans are made primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses located within BB&T’s geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals, businesses and public entities. Branch Bank offers, either directly, or through its subsidiaries, lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; factoring; discount brokerage services, annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis and through a wholesale insurance brokerage operation; insurance premium financing; permanent financing arrangements for commercial real estate; loan servicing for third-party investors; direct consumer finance loans to individuals; trust and comprehensive wealth advisory services and association services. BB&T FSB and the direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide a variety of financial services including credit card lending, automobile lending, equipment financing, full-service securities brokerage, asset management and capital markets services.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

BB&T holds investments in certain legal entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE’s”). VIE’s are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently

8

finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

BB&T evaluates its investments in VIE’s to determine if a controlling financial interest is held. This evaluation gives appropriate consideration to the design of the entity and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along, the relative power of each of the parties to the VIE, and to BB&T’s relative obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns of the entity, in relation to such obligations and rights held by other parties to the VIE. BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, and other partnership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T’s significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership and similar investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders’ equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impactingFair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company’s valuation processes. The adoption of this guidance, which occurred effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on BB&T’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements.

9

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impactingComprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. All changes in OCI must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. BB&T adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and has elected to present two separate but consecutive financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting the presentation of certain items on theBalance Sheet.The new guidance requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance will not impact BB&T’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but may result in certain additional disclosures.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, securities with carrying values of approximately $14.5 billion and $15.5 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, other borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Investments in marketable debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae had total amortized cost and fair value of $11.3 billion and $11.4 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2012. Investments in securities issued by Freddie Mac had total amortized cost and fair value of $9.4 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, non-agency mortgage-backed securities consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities.

The gross realized gains and losses are reflected in the following table:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at March 31, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown in the accompanying table. The expected life of mortgage-backed securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without call or prepayment penalties. For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been included in maturity groupings based on the contractual maturity.

BB&T conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss for other-than-temporary impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities.

Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:

^l The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer;

^l BB&T’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis;

^l The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;

13

^l Whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific conditions, such as conditions in an industry or in a geographic area;

^l Whether a debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency;

^l Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated;

^l The seniority of the security;

^l Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments on debt securities have not been made; and

^l Any other relevant available information.

If an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary, the credit component of the unrealized loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent that BB&T does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that BB&T will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery.

BB&T evaluates credit impairment related to non-agency mortgage-backed securities through the use of cash flow modeling. These models give consideration to long-term macroeconomic factors applied to current security default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates and security-level performance.

During 2012, BB&T realized principal losses on certain other-than-temporarily impaired securities. These realized losses were a factor in evaluating the level of OTTI necessary to address future projected losses.

At March 31, 2012, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. The vast majority of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipal securities. At March 31, 2012, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months, excluding those covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, were investment grade with the exception of one municipal bond with an amortized cost of $3 million and seven non-agency mortgage-backed securities with an adjusted amortized cost of $346 million. All of these non-investment grade securities were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase. Based on its evaluation at March 31, 2012, BB&T determined that certain of the non-investment grade non-agency mortgage-backed securities had credit losses evident and recognized OTTI related to these securities. At March 31, 2012, the total unrealized loss on these non-investment grade securities was $41 million.

The following table presents non-investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses that are not covered by a loss sharing arrangement and the credit loss component of OTTI recognized to date:

March 31, 2012	Amortized Cost		Cumulative Credit Loss Recognized			Adjusted Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss
	(Dollars in millions)
Security:
RMBS 1	$	129	$	(34	)	$	95	$	80	$	(15	)
RMBS 2		100		(17	)		83		73		(10	)

BB&T’s evaluation of the other debt securities with continuous unrealized losses indicated that there were no credit losses evident. Furthermore, as of the date of the evaluation, BB&T did not intend to sell, and it was more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell, these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. In making this determination, BB&T considers its expected liquidity and capital needs, including its asset/liability management needs, forecasts, strategies and other relevant information.

(1) Commercial real estate - residential ADC represents residential acquisition, development and construction loans.

Covered loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC subject to one of the loss sharing agreements. Other acquired loans represent consumer loans acquired from the FDIC that are not subject to one of the loss sharing agreements.

The following table reflects the carrying amount of all purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans and the related allowance:

	March 31, 2012									December 31, 2011
	Purchased Impaired Loans			Purchased Nonimpaired Loans			Total			Purchased Impaired Loans			Purchased Nonimpaired Loans			Total

Changes in the carrying amount and accretable yield for purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2012												Year Ended December 31, 2011
	Purchased Impaired						Purchased Nonimpaired						Purchased Impaired						Purchased Nonimpaired
	Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans			Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans			Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans			Accretable Yield			Carrying Amount of Loans

The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased impaired loans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3.0 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased nonimpaired loans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3.6 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, none of the purchased loans were classified as nonperforming assets. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased loans. The allowance for loan losses related to the purchased loans results from decreased expectations of future cash flows due to increased credit losses for certain acquired loan pools.

The following table provides a summary of BB&T’s nonperforming assets and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing:

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio segment using internal risk ratings. These risk ratings are based on established regulatory guidance. Loans with a Pass rating represent those not considered as a problem credit. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management’s close attention. Substandard loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. Substandard loans are placed in nonaccrual status when BB&T believes it is no longer probable it will collect all contractual cash flows.

20

BB&T assigns an internal risk rating at loan origination and reviews the relationship again on an annual basis or at any point management becomes aware of information affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill their obligations.

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its retail portfolio segment based primarily on delinquency status, which is the primary factor considered in determining whether a retail loan should be classified as nonaccrual.

The following tables illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with loans and leases held for investment. Covered and other acquired loans are excluded from this analysis because their related allowance is determined by loan pool performance due to the application of the accretion method.

The following tables represent aging analyses of BB&T’s past due loans and leases held for investment. Covered loans have been excluded from this aging analysis because they are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, and their related allowance is determined by loan pool performance due to the application of the accretion method.

(1) Includes modifications made to existing restructurings, as well as new modifications that are considered restructurings. Balances represent the recorded investment as of the end of the period in which the modification was made.

(2) Includes restructurings made with a below market interest rate that also includes a modification of loan structure.

Charge-offs recorded at the modification date were $4 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Modifications made to existing restructurings in the commercial portfolio segment approximated 11% and 29% of total commercial restructurings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The forgiveness of principal or interest for restructurings recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was immaterial.

The following table summarizes the pre-default balance for modifications that experienced a payment default that had been classified as restructurings during the previous 12 months. BB&T defines payment default as movement of the restructuring to nonaccrual status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

If a restructuring subsequently defaults, BB&T evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying value of the loan.

(2) Includes amounts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale and excludes amounts related to government guaranteed loans and covered mortgage loans. Refer to Loans and Leases Note for additional disclosures related to past due government guaranteed loans.

(3) Net charge-offs for March 31, 2012 reflect three months.

26

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T’s total residential mortgage servicing portfolio were $94.6 billion and $91.6 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans and totaled $70.3 billion and $67.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio with unpaid principal balances of $7.6 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, and recognized pre-tax gains of $127 million and $35 million, respectively, including the impact of interest rate lock commitments. These gains are recorded in noninterest income as a component of mortgage banking income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and receives servicing fees.

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the approximate weighted average servicing fee was 0.33% and 0.35%, respectively, of the outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced for others. The weighted average coupon interest rate on the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others was 4.89% and 5.17% at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. BB&T recognized servicing fees of $60 million and $58 million during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a component of mortgage banking income.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with recourse liability. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $502 million and $522 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T has recorded $6 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures. Payments made to date have been immaterial.

BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of BB&T. BB&T has recorded $39 million and $29 million of reserves related to potential losses resulting from repurchases of loans sold at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Residential mortgage servicing rights are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions of its residential mortgage servicing rights. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T’s residential mortgage servicing rights:

	Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Carrying value, January 1,	$	563		$	830
Additions		84			86
Increase (decrease) in fair value:
Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions		92			40
Other changes (1)		(43	)		(28	)
Carrying value, March 31,	$	696		$	928

(1) Represents the realization of expected net servicing cash flows, expected borrower payments and the passage of time.

The increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights due to changes in valuation inputs during the first three months of 2012, was primarily a result of updated prepayment speed forecast assumptions.

27

Refer to Note 14 for additional disclosures related to the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights. The sensitivity of the current fair value of the residential mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions is included in the accompanying table:

	Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights March 31, 2012
	(Dollars in millions)
Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights	$	696
Composition of residential loans serviced for others:
Fixed-rate mortgage loans		99	%
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans		1
Total		100	%
Weighted average life		4.5	yrs
Prepayment speed		16.5	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(39	)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(73	)
Weighted average discount rate		9.8	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(25	)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(48	)

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Commercial Mortgage Banking Activities

BB&T also arranges and services commercial real estate mortgages through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Grandbridge”) the commercial mortgage banking subsidiary of Branch Bank. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, Grandbridge originated $1.3 billion and $930 million, respectively, of commercial real estate mortgages, the majority of which were arranged for third party investors. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Grandbridge’s portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages serviced for others totaled $25.8 billion and $25.4 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Grandbridge had $4.8 billion and $4.5 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by recourse provisions at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Grandbridge’s maximum exposure to loss for these loans was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. BB&T has recorded $16 million and $15 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

(3) These floating-rate securities are based on LIBOR, but the majority of the cash flows have been swapped to a fixed rate. The effective rate paid on these securities including the effect of the swapped portion was 3.26% at March 31, 2012.

(4) Certain of these advances have been swapped to floating rates from fixed rates and from fixed rates to floating rates. At March 31, 2012, the weighted average rate paid on these advances including the effect of the swapped portion was 3.61%, and the weighted average maturity was 7.3 years.

(5) Securities that qualify under the risk-based capital guidelines as Tier 1 capital, subject to certain limitations. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional information.

In March 2011, BB&T made the decision to retire all of its junior subordinated debt to unconsolidated trusts through the exercise of certain early redemption provisions. BB&T determined that it was appropriate to amortize the remaining debt issuance costs and related discounts or premiums, including fair value hedge adjustments, over the period from March 2011 to the current expected redemption date for each of the impacted debt securities.

NOTE 9. Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The authorized common stock of BB&T consists of two billion shares with a $5 par value. There were 698 million and 697 million common shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Preferred Stock

The authorized preferred stock of BB&T consists of five million shares. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

BB&T issued $575 million of Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock on May 1, 2012. The preferred stock has a dividend of 5.85%.

Equity-Based Plans

At March 31, 2012, BB&T has options, restricted shares and restricted share units outstanding from the following equity-based compensation plans: the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), the 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”), the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (“Directors’ Plan”), and a plan assumed from an acquired entity. BB&T’s shareholders have approved all equity-based compensation plans with the exception of the plan assumed from an acquired entity. As of March 31, 2012, the 2004 Plan is the only plan that has shares available for future grants. The 2004 Plan allows for accelerated vesting of awards for holders who retire and have met all retirement eligibility requirements and in connection with certain other events. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further disclosures related to equity-based awards issued by BB&T.

BB&T measures the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		1.5	%		1.7	%
Dividend yield		4.4			3.5
Volatility factor		33.0			37.2
Expected life		7.0	yrs		7.4	yrs
Fair value of options per share	$	6.07		$	7.45

BB&T determines the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model as follows: the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant; the dividend yield is based on the historical dividend yield of BB&T’s stock, adjusted to reflect the expected dividend yield over the expected life of the option; the volatility factor is based on the historical volatility of BB&T’s stock, adjusted to reflect the ways in which current information indicates that the future is reasonably expected to differ from the past; and the weighted-average expected life is based on the historical behavior of employees related to exercises, forfeitures and cancellations.

BB&T measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date and the fair value of restricted share units based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends that are foregone during the vesting period.

Total	$	(991	)	$	(375	)	$	(616	)	$	(1,146	)	$	(433	)	$	(713	)

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrealized net losses on securities available for sale, excluding covered securities, included $41 million and $57 million, respectively, of pre-tax losses related to other-than-temporarily impaired non-agency mortgage-backed securities where a portion of the loss was recognized in net income.

NOTE 11. Income Taxes

BB&T’s provision for income taxes was $189 million and $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 29.8% and 18.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax earnings relative to permanent tax differences in 2012 compared to 2011. The current quarter also included additional tax expense related to affordable housing partnership investments.

In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 asserting a liability for taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $892 million related to the disallowance for foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. Management has consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&T’s treatment of this transaction was in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, as a procedural matter and in order to limit its exposure to incremental penalties and interest associated with this matter, BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest in March 2010, and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The Court has scheduled the trial to take place in March 2013. BB&T recorded a receivable in other assets for the amount of this payment, less the reserve considered necessary in accordance with applicable income tax accounting guidance. Based on an assessment of the applicable tax law and the relevant facts and circumstances related to this matter, management has concluded that the amount of this reserve is adequate, although litigation is still ongoing. Due to potential developments in BB&T’s litigation or in similar cases, there could be a material change in the reserve amount within the next twelve months.

NOTE 12. Benefit Plans

BB&T provides various benefit plans to substantially all employees, including employees of acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in existing BB&T plans after consummation of the business combinations. The plans of acquired institutions are typically merged into the BB&T plans after consummation of the mergers, and, under these circumstances, credit is usually given to these employees for years of service at the acquired institution for vesting and eligibility purposes.

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized for BB&T’s pension plans:

	Qualified Plan						Nonqualified Plans
	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011			2012		2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Service cost	$	29		$	26		$	2	$	2
Interest cost		25			23			3		2
Estimated return on plan assets		(49	)		(49	)		—		—
Amortization and other		17			7			1		1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	22		$	7		$	6	$	5

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plan in amounts between the minimum required for funding standard accounts and the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. Management is not required to, and currently has no plans to, make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2012; however, such a contribution may be made later in 2012, if deemed appropriate.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

BB&T utilizes a variety of financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees and derivatives. BB&T also has commitments to fund certain affordable housing investments and contingent liabilities related to certain sold loans.

Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to businesses and consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow BB&T to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers’ creditworthiness.

Letters of credit and financial guarantees written are unconditional commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuance, bond financing and similar transactions, the majority of which are to tax exempt entities. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and as such, the instruments are collateralized when necessary. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had issued letters of credit totaling $5.9 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $37 million and $27 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or interest rate. For additional disclosures related to BB&T’s derivatives refer to Note 15.

In the ordinary course of business, BB&T indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities arising from pending litigation. BB&T also issues standard representation and warranties in underwriting agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, loan sales, brokerage activities and other similar arrangements. Counterparties in many of these indemnification arrangements provide similar indemnifications to BB&T. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these guarantees would materially change the financial position or results of operations of BB&T.

Merger and acquisition agreements of businesses other than financial institutions occasionally include additional incentives to the acquired entities to offset the loss of future cash flows previously received through ownership positions. Typically, these incentives are based on the acquired entity’s contribution to BB&T’s earnings compared to agreed-upon amounts. When offered, these incentives are typically issued for terms of three to five

33

years. As certain provisions of these agreements do not specify dollar limitations, it is not possible to quantify the maximum exposure resulting from these agreements. However, based on recent payouts and current projections, any payments made in relation to these agreements are not expected to be material to BB&T’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In connection with the Colonial acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC related to certain assets acquired. Pursuant to the terms of these loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse Branch Bank for losses with respect to certain loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”), certain investment securities and other assets (collectively, “covered assets”), begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. For additional information about the terms of the loss sharing agreements refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

BB&T invests in certain affordable housing and historic building rehabilitation projects throughout its market area as a means of supporting local communities, and receives tax credits related to these investments. BB&T typically acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Branch Bank typically provides financing during the construction and development of the properties; however, permanent financing is generally obtained from independent third parties upon completion of a project. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of $1.2 billion related to these projects, which are included as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s outstanding commitments to fund affordable housing investments totaled $383 million and $394 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which are included as other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $180 million and $178 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $63 million and $76 million had been funded at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s maximum risk exposure related to these investments totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

BB&T has sold certain mortgage-related loans that contain recourse provisions. These provisions generally require BB&T to reimburse the investor for a share of any loss that is incurred after the disposal of the property. BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures related to these exposures.

BB&T has investments and future funding commitments to certain venture capital funds. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had investments of $281 million and $261 million related to these ventures, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had future funding commitments of $119 million and $129 million, respectively. BB&T’s risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount of investments and future funding commitments made.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of the business of BB&T’s banking and other subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.

The Company is a defendant in three separate cases primarily challenging the Company’s daily ordering of debit transactions posted to customer checking accounts for the period from 2003 to 2010. The plaintiffs have requested class action treatment, however, no class has been certified. The court initially denied motions by the Company to dismiss these cases and compel them to be submitted to individual arbitration. The Company then filed appeals in all three matters. There have been numerous subsequent procedural developments, including an

34

appeal to the United States Supreme Court in one matter which resulted in a decision that benefited the Company. Nevertheless, at present the issues raised by these motions and/or appeals remain undecided. If the motions or appeals are ultimately granted, they would preclude class action treatment. Even if those appeals are denied, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these matters, including class certification. Because of these appeals, and because these cases are in preliminary proceedings and no damages have been specified, no specific loss or range of loss can currently be determined.

On at least a quarterly basis, BB&T assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, BB&T records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on at least a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, BB&T has not accrued legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, BB&T’s management believes that its established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from BB&T’s legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to BB&T’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures

BB&T carries various assets and liabilities at fair value based on applicable accounting standards. In addition, BB&T has elected to account for prime residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans originated as loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards (the “Fair Value Option”). Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. These standards also established a three level fair value hierarchy that describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities. Level 1 asset and liability fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 asset and liability fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices that are not in an active market; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities are financial instruments whose value is calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as financial instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data.

35

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which BB&T has elected the Fair Value Option are summarized below:

The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs used by BB&T in determining the Level 2 and Level 3 fair values of each significant class of assets and liabilities.

BB&T generally utilizes a third-party pricing service in determining the fair value of its securities portfolio. Fair value measurements are derived from market-based pricing matrices that were developed using observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. As described by security type below, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. In the event that market observable data was not available, which would generally occur due to the lack of an active market for a given security, the valuation of the security would be subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.

Specific valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of each significant class of assets and liabilities follows:

Trading securities:Trading securities are composed of all types of debt and equity securities, but the majority consists of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-sponsored entities, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques used for these investments are more fully discussed below.

GSE securities and Mortgage-backed securities issued by GSE:These are debt securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. GSE pass-through securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including benchmark TBA security pricing and yield curves that were estimated

37

based on U.S. Treasury yields and certain floating rate indices. The pricing matrices for these securities may also give consideration to pool-specific data supplied directly by the GSE. GSE collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

States and political subdivisions:These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including MSRB reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices and benchmark yield curves.

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities:Pricing matrices for these securities are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

Other securities:These securities consist primarily of equities, mutual funds and corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for identical and similar assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.

Covered securities:Covered securities are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements and consist of re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The covered state and political subdivision securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities are valued in a manner similar to the approach described above for these asset classes. The re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which are categorized as Level 3, were valued based on broker dealer quotes that reflected certain unobservable market inputs. Sensitivity to changes in the fair value of covered securities is significantly offset by changes in BB&T’s indemnification asset from the FDIC. The terms of the loss sharing agreement associated with these re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities provide that Branch Bank will be reimbursed by the FDIC for 95% of any and all losses.

Loans held for sale:BB&T originates certain mortgage loans to be sold to investors. These loans are carried at fair value based on BB&T’s election of the Fair Value Option. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale.

Residential mortgage servicing rights:BB&T estimates the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) using an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. When available, fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to observable market data and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.

Derivative assets and liabilities:BB&T uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments and are categorized as Level 3, is based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that BB&T does not expect to fund and includes the value attributable to the net servicing fee.

Venture capital and similar investments:BB&T has venture capital and similar investments that are carried at fair value. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.

38

Short-term borrowed funds:Short-term borrowed funds represent debt securities sold short. These are entered into through BB&T’s brokerage subsidiary Scott & Stringfellow, LLC. These trades are executed as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

The tables below present reconciliations for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

BB&T’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period. During the first three months of 2012, BB&T did not transfer any securities between levels in the fair value hierarchy. During the first three months of 2011, transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were the result of increased observable market activity for these securities. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers of securities during the three months ended 2011.

The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes adjustments increasing the value $92 million and decreasing the value for the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes an adjustment increasing the value $40 million and decreasing the value for the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows by $28 million. BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the derivative instruments produced losses of $53 million and $39 million, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded. Refer to Note 6 for a sensitivity analysis of the fair values of these servicing rights to an immediate 10% and 20% adverse change in key economic assumptions.

BB&T has investments in venture capital funds and other similar investments that are measured at fair value based on the investment’s net asset value. The majority of these investments are in Small Business Investment Company qualified funds. The significant investment strategies for these ventures are primarily equity and subordinated debt in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these investments are not redeemable and have varying dates for which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by distribution

40

through 2021. As of March 31, 2012, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. There were no investments probable of sale for less than net asset value at March 31, 2012. BB&T’s investments are spread over numerous ventures, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. The significant unobservable inputs for these investments are EBITDA multiples that ranged from 4x to 10x at March 31, 2012.

The following table details the fair value and unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale that were elected to be carried at fair value.

	March 31, 2012						December 31, 2011
	Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Fair Value Less Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Fair Value Less Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance

Loans held for sale reported at fair value:
Total (1)	$	2,525	$	2,492	$	33	$	3,736	$	3,652	$	84

(1) The change in fair value is reflected in mortgage banking income. Excluding government guaranteed loans, there were no nonaccrual loans or loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

BB&T may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 that were still held on the balance sheet at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $680 million and $925 million, respectively. The March 31, 2012 amount consists of $302 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $378 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. The December 31, 2011 amount consists of $389 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $536 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recorded $30 million and $103 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $68 million and $86 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate. The fair values of impaired loans and foreclosed real estate are generally based on appraised value of collateral. Appraisals incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties and cost of construction. In addition, the periodic valuations may include additional liquidity discounts based upon the expected retention period. The valuations are impacted by the market price of the class of real estate and the expected retention period. A shorter retention period would result in an additional liquidity discount.

Additionally, accounting standards require the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity. For the financial instruments that BB&T does not record at fair value, estimates of fair value are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Fair values are calculated based on the value of one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various financial instruments. No readily available market exists for a significant portion of BB&T’s financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments.

41

Cash and cash equivalents and segregated cash due from banks: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

Securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, internal risk grades are used to adjust discount rates for risk migration and expected losses. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

FDIC loss share receivable: The fair value of the FDIC loss share receivable was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying a risk free interest rate that is adjusted for the uncertainty in the timing and amount of these cash flows. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to loans were estimated using the same assumptions that were used in determining the accounting values for the related loans. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to securities are based upon the fair value of the related securities and the payment that would be required if the securities were sold for that amount. The FDIC loss share agreements are not transferrable and, accordingly, there is no market for this receivable.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits, interest-checking accounts, savings accounts and certain money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. In addition, nonfinancial instruments such as core deposit intangibles are not recorded at fair value. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and in the opinion of management, these items add significant value to BB&T.

Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on BB&T’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Contractual commitments: The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair values also consider the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on the counterparties’ creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. The fair values of commitments to fund affordable housing investments are estimated using the net present value of future commitments. These respective fair value measurements would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

BB&T uses a variety of derivative instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risks. These instruments consist of interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. There are five areas of risk management: balance sheet management, mortgage banking operations, mortgage servicing rights, net investment in a foreign subsidiary and client-related and other risk management activities. No portion of the change in fair value of the derivative has been excluded from effectiveness testing. The ineffective portion was immaterial for all periods presented.

Cash Flow Hedges

BB&T’s floating rate business loans, overnight funding, FHLB advances, medium-term bank notes and long-term debt expose it to variability in cash flows for interest payments. The risk management objective for these floating rate assets and liabilities is to hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions. These forecasted transactions include interest receipts on commercial loans and

45

interest payments on 3 month LIBOR funding. All of BB&T’s current cash flow hedges are hedging exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on then existing financial instruments.

For a qualifying cash flow hedge, the portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that has been highly effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring during the forecast period or within a short period thereafter, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately. During the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T amortized approximately ($9) million and ($6) million of unrecognized pre-tax gains (losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net interest income.

At March 31, 2012, BB&T had $253 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared to $254 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses at December 31, 2011. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12 months is a loss totaling approximately $49 million. This includes active hedges and gains and losses related to hedges that were terminated early for which the forecasted transactions are still probable. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities.

All cash flow hedges were highly effective for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.

Fair Value Hedges

BB&T’s fixed rate long-term debt, certificates of deposit, FHLB advances, loan and state and political subdivision security assets result in exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. The risk management objective for hedging fixed rate assets and liabilities is to convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate. BB&T accomplishes its risk management objective by hedging exposure to changes in fair value of fixed rate financial instruments primarily through the use of swaps. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives that have been highly effective as hedges are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

During the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T terminated certain fair value hedges primarily related to its long-term debt and received proceeds of $90 million and $11 million, respectively. When hedged debt/other financial instruments are retired or redeemed, the amounts associated with the hedge are included as a component of the gain or loss on termination. When a hedge is terminated but the hedged item remains outstanding, the proceeds from the termination of these hedges have been reflected as part of the carrying value of the underlying debt/other financial instrument and are being amortized to earnings over its estimated remaining life. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities. During the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, BB&T recognized pre-tax benefits of $65 million and $29 million respectively through reductions of interest expense from previously unwound fair value hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

Derivatives not designated as a hedge include those that are entered into as either balance sheet risk management instruments or to facilitate client needs. Balance sheet risk management hedges are those hedges that do not qualify to be treated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or a foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk associated with an asset or liability.

This category of hedges includes derivatives that hedge mortgage banking operations and MSRs. For mortgage loans originated for sale, BB&T is exposed to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date. BB&T’s risk management strategy related to its interest rate lock commitment derivatives and loans held for sale includes using mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and

46

options in order to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of its MSRs. For the period ended March 31, 2012, BB&T recorded a loss totaling $53 million related to these derivatives which was offset by an increase in the carrying value of mortgage servicing assets totaling $92 million. For the period ended March 31, 2011, BB&T recognized a $39 million loss on these derivatives, which was offset by a positive $40 million valuation adjustment related to the mortgage servicing asset.

BB&T also held, as risk management instruments, other derivatives not designated as hedges primarily to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients, as well as activities related to balance sheet management.

Net Investment Hedges

In connection with a long-term investment in a foreign subsidiary, BB&T is exposed to changes in the carrying value of its investment as a result of changes in the related foreign exchange rate. For net investment hedges, changes in value of qualifying hedges are deferred in other comprehensive income (loss) when the terms of the derivative match the notional and currency risk being hedged. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) reflected unrecognized after-tax losses totaling $12 million and $11 million, respectively, related to cumulative changes in the fair value of BB&T’s net investment hedge.

Derivatives Credit Risk - Dealer Counterparties

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. BB&T addresses the risk of loss by subjecting dealer counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed negotiated limits.

As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had received cash collateral from dealer counterparties totaling $32 million related to derivatives in a gain position of $34 million and had posted $718 million in cash collateral to dealer counterparties to secure derivatives in a loss position of $733 million. In the event that BB&T’s credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted to these counterparties would have increased by $23 million. As of December 31, 2011, BB&T had received cash collateral from dealer counterparties totaling $82 million related to derivatives in a gain position of $79 million and had posted $639 million in cash collateral to dealer counterparties to secure derivatives in a loss position of $669 million. In the event that BB&T’s credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted to these counterparties would have increased by $30 million.

After collateral postings are considered, BB&T had $2 million and $3 million, of unsecured positions in a gain with dealer counterparties at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. All of BB&T’s derivative contracts with dealer counterparties settle on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis, with daily movement of collateral between counterparties required within established netting agreements. BB&T only transacts with dealer counterparties that are national market makers with strong credit ratings.

Derivatives Credit Risk - Central Clearing Parties

BB&T also clears certain derivatives through central clearing parties that require initial margin collateral, as well as additional collateral for trades in a net loss position. Initial margin collateral requirements are established by central clearing parties on varying bases, with such amounts generally designed to offset the risk of non-payment for the maximum experienced change in value associated with a one day movement in interest rates. As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had posted $106 million in cash collateral, including initial margin, related to the clearing of derivatives in a $12 million net gain position. As of December 31, 2011, BB&T had posted $145 million in cash collateral, including initial margin, related to the clearing of derivatives in a $60 million net loss position. BB&T had $12 million of unsecured positions in a gain with central clearing parties at March 31, 2012.

NOTE 17. Operating Segments

BB&T’s operations are divided into six reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Dealer Financial Services, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services and Financial Services. These operating segments have been identified based on BB&T’s organizational structure. The segments require unique technology and marketing strategies and offer different products and services. While BB&T is managed as an integrated organization, individual executive managers are held accountable for the operations of these business segments.

BB&T emphasizes revenue growth by focusing on client service, sales effectiveness and relationship management. The segment results contained herein are presented based on internal management accounting policies that were designed to support these strategies. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive

authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP. The performance of the segments is not comparable with BB&T’s consolidated results or with similar information presented by any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

Allocation methodologies are subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised and business or product lines within the segments change. Also, because the development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process, the financial results presented may be periodically revised.

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a description of internal accounting policies and the basis of segmentation, including a description of the segments presented in the accompanying tables.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Regulatory Considerations

BB&T and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to numerous examinations by federal and state banking regulators, as well as the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and various state insurance and securities regulators. BB&T and its subsidiaries have from time to time received requests for information from regulatory authorities in various states, including state insurance commissions and state attorneys general, securities regulators and other regulatory authorities, concerning their business practices. Such requests are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional disclosures with respect to laws and regulations affecting the Company’s businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T Corporation and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. BB&T’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in BB&T’s consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include BB&T’s accounting for the allowance for credit losses, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments associated with mergers and acquisitions, costs and benefit obligations associated with BB&T’s pension and postretirement benefit plans, and income taxes. Understanding BB&T’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding BB&T’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, BB&T’s critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. BB&T’s significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no changes to BB&T’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” included herein.

Executive Summary

Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2012 of $431 million was up 91.6% compared to $225 million earned during the same period in 2011. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the first quarter of 2012 were $0.61, up 90.6% compared to $0.32 for the same period in 2011. BB&T’s results of operations for the first quarter of 2012 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.03% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 9.75% compared to prior year ratios of 0.60% and 5.48%, respectively.

Total revenues, on a tax equivalent basis, were $2.3 billion for the first quarter of 2012, up $309 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in total revenues was due to $152 million of higher net interest income, primarily driven by an increase in earning assets and lower funding costs. The net interest margin was 3.93%, down 8 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2011. Noninterest income increased $157 million. The increase in noninterest income was largely attributable to $121 million of higher revenues from mortgage banking activities and a $21 million increase in insurance income. In addition, other income was up $38 million due to $74 million of fewer losses and write-downs on the commercial loans held for sale in connection with management’s nonperforming loan disposition strategy, partially offset by $42 million of

51

increased write-downs on affordable housing investments due to revised estimates and processes used to value these investments. The increases were partially offset by a decline of $29 million from checkcard fees primarily due to the implementation of the Durbin amendment.

The provision for credit losses, excluding covered loans, for the first quarter of 2012 declined $55 million, or 16.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2011, as improving credit quality resulted in lower provision expense. Net charge-offs, excluding covered loans, for the first quarter of 2012 were $67 million lower than the first quarter of 2011.

Noninterest expenses were $1.4 billion for the first quarter of 2012, up slightly compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily due to higher personnel costs, which were up $36 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in personnel costs was due to higher salaries and wages, as well as an increase in pension expense. In addition, other expenses were up $22 million due to a $15 million valuation loss on leveraged lease investments. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $51 million in foreclosed property expenses due to fewer losses and lower carry costs and a $20 million reduction in regulatory charges due to lower deposit insurance expense.

The provision for income taxes was $189 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $53 million for the first quarter of 2011. This resulted in an effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 of 29.8% compared to 18.5% for the prior year’s first quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax earnings relative to permanent tax differences in 2012 compared to 2011. The current quarter also included $16 million in tax expense primarily due to changes in the treatment of certain credits related to affordable housing partnership investments.

Asset quality continued to show improvement during the first quarter of 2012. Total nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, were $2.3 billion at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $194 million, or 7.9%, compared to December 31, 2011. The decline this quarter is the eighth consecutive quarterly decline in nonperforming assets. In addition, loan delinquencies improved significantly during the first quarter of 2012, with improvements in both loans 30-89 days past due and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

BB&T’s total assets at March 31, 2012 were $174.8 billion, up slightly compared to December 31, 2011. Average loans held for investment grew 4.7% compared to the first quarter of 2011. The growth in average loans held for investment was broad based across all major portfolios. Average deposits increased 18.0% compared to the first quarter of 2011. In addition, the mix of the portfolio continues to improve with average noninterest-bearing deposits representing 21.0% of average deposits in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 19.9% in the same period of the prior year. The cost of interest-bearing deposits continued to decline during the first quarter and was 0.49% for the first quarter of 2012, compared to 0.82% for the first quarter of 2011.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $402 million, or 2.3%, compared to December 31, 2011. The Tier 1 common ratio was 10.0% and 9.7% at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, the Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.7% and 16.2% at March 31, 2012, respectively, compared to 12.5% and 15.7%, respectively, at December 31, 2011. BB&T’s risk-based capital ratios remain well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks. As of March 31, 2012, measures of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

In March, the Federal Reserve published the results of the 2012 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. The regulators had no objections to BB&T’s 2012 capital plans submitted for review. Following the review, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend 25% to $0.20.

On March 13, 2012, BB&T announced that it had entered into an amendment to its agreement to acquire Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based BankAtlantic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp. The core provisions of the original agreement remain unchanged. BB&T will acquire approximately $2.1 billion in loans

52

and assume approximately $3.3 billion in deposits for an estimated premium of $301 million above the net asset value of BankAtlantic at closing. This represents a 9% deposit premium based on September 30, 2011 balances. The premium to be paid by BB&T is subject to adjustment based on actual deposit balances at close, but in no event will it exceed $316 million. Under the terms of the modified agreement, BB&T will assume BankAtlantic Bancorp’s obligations with respect to outstanding trust preferred securities, with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $285 million. In exchange for the assumption of these liabilities, BB&T will receive a 95% preferred interest (5% preferred interest will be held by BankAtlantic Bancorp) in a newly established LLC, that will hold a $423 million pool of loans and $17 million of other net assets (based on BankAtlantic’s book value gross of any reserves as of January 31, 2012). The pool of loans, which has an unpaid principal balance of approximately $500 million, represents a portion of the loans that were originally anticipated to be retained by BankAtlantic Bancorp pursuant to the original agreement. BankAtlantic Bancorp will also provide BB&T with an incremental $35 million guarantee to further assure BB&T’s recovery of the $285 million assumed liability. The LLC’s assets will be monetized over time and once BB&T has recovered $285 million in preference amount from the LLC, BB&T’s interest in the LLC will terminate. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012, subject to regulatory approvals.

On April 2, 2012, BB&T closed the acquisition of the life and property and casualty insurance operating divisions of Roseland, N.J.—based Crump Group Inc. The acquisition creates the largest independent wholesale distributor of life insurance and one of the largest providers of wholesale commercial insurance brokerage and specialty programs in the U.S. BB&T paid $570 million in cash to complete the transaction, which is expected to be accretive to earnings and to add approximately $300 million in annual revenue to Insurance Services. The acquisition did not include Crump’s retirement services business, Ascensus.

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for additional information with respect to BB&T’s recent accomplishments and significant challenges. The factors causing the fluctuations in the major balance sheet and income statement categories for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011 are further discussed in the following sections.

Analysis Of Results Of Operations

Consolidated net income available to common shareholders totaled $431 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.61 in the first quarter of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the same period of 2011 totaled $225 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.32. The increase in earnings was driven by higher revenues and lower credit-related costs. BB&T’s results of operations for the first quarter of 2012 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.03% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 9.75%, compared to prior year returns of 0.60% and 5.48%, respectively.

The following table sets forth selected financial ratios for the last five calendar quarters.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis was $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 11.5% compared to the same period in 2011. The higher net interest income was driven by an increase in earning assets and lower funding costs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, average earning assets

53

increased $17.2 billion, or 12.9%, compared to the same period of 2011, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $9.8 billion, or 8.6%. The net interest margin was 3.93% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 4.01% for the same period of 2011. The 8 basis point decline in the net interest margin was due to runoff of covered assets and lower yields on new loans, which has been partially offset by lower funding costs.

The FTE yield on the average securities portfolio for the first quarter of 2012 was 2.70%, which represents an increase of 11 basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the first quarter of 2011.

The annualized FTE yield for the total loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2012 was 5.56% compared to 5.94% in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in the FTE yield on the total loan portfolio for the first three months of 2012 was primarily due to runoff of covered loans from the Colonial acquisition and lower yields on new loans due to the low interest-rate environment.

The average rate for interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2012 was 0.49% compared to 0.82% for the same period in the prior year, reflecting a decrease in relatively higher-rate certificates of deposit and management’s ability to lower rates on other deposit products.

For the first quarter of 2012, the average annualized FTE rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.23% compared to 0.30% during the first quarter of 2011. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the first quarter of 2012 was 3.41% compared to 3.97% for the same period in 2011. The decline in the average rate paid on long-term debt reflects the positive impact of accelerated amortization from certain derivatives that were unwound in a gain position. The benefits from the derivatives gains are being amortized over the remaining expected life of the respective debt.

Management expects that the second quarter of 2012 net interest margin will be in the 3.80% to 3.90% range due to the continued runoff of the covered loan portfolio.

The following table provides information related to covered and acquired loans, covered securities and the FDIC loss sharing asset recognized in the Colonial acquisition. The table excludes all amounts related to other assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

Interest income for the first quarter of 2012 on loans and securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition decreased $41 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. Interest income on acquired loans decreased $38 million reflecting lower average loan balances partially offset by higher yields due to the cumulative impact of changes

54

to expected cash flows based on the quarterly cash flow reassessment process required by acquisition accounting. The yield on covered and other acquired loans for the first quarter of 2012 was 19.49% compared to 18.09% in 2011. At March 31, 2012, the accretable yield balance on these loans was $1.4 billion. Accretable yield represents the excess of future cash flows above the current net carrying amount of loans and will be recognized into income over the remaining life of the covered and acquired loans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the accretable yield of purchased nonimpaired loans and purchased impaired loans decreased $62 million and $69 million, respectively, due primarily to changes in the expected lives of loans.

The provision for covered loans was $3 million in the current quarter. There was no provision for covered loans in the first quarter of 2011. The first quarter of 2012 reassessment showed decreases in expected cash flows in certain loan pools that were partially offset by recoveries in other previously impaired loan pools.

FDIC loss share income, net was a negative $57 million for the first quarter of 2012, which was principally negative accretion attributable to the offset for the cumulative impact of cash flow reassessments for covered loans. The negative accretion related to the improvement in credit losses is recognized on a level yield basis over the life of the related FDIC loss share asset, which has a shorter weighted average life than the corresponding loans.

The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, as well as the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes. Changes attributable to the mix of assets and liabilities have been allocated proportionally between the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $288 million (including $3 million for covered loans) for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $340 million for the first quarter of 2011. Overall, the provision for credit losses declined due to improving credit trends and outlook, as net charge-offs were down 12.9% (or 16.6% excluding covered loan charge-offs) compared to the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in the overall provision for credit losses reflects increases for commercial and industrial loans and direct retail loans, which were offset by reductions in commercial real estate, residential mortgage and revolving credit loans due to updates to loss estimate factors. The impact of these changes resulted in higher provision expense for the Community Banking segment and lower provision for Residential Mortgage Banking.

Net charge-offs were 1.28% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.28% excluding covered loans) for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 1.56% of average loans and leases (or 1.65% excluding covered loans) for the same period in 2011. Management expects net charge-offs to approximate 1.25% in the second quarter of 2012 and trend lower throughout the remainder of the year.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $871 million, compared to $714 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $157 million, or 22.0%. The increase in noninterest income was driven by record mortgage banking income and growth in insurance income, which was partially offset by lower checkcard fees.

Insurance income, which is BB&T’s largest source of noninterest income, totaled $271 million for the first quarter of 2012, which was up 8.4% compared to the same three-month period of 2011. The increase in insurance income reflects the impact of acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2011 and improved performance across most business lines.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $137 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $2 million, or 1.5%, compared to the same quarter of 2011. The increase in service charges was primarily due to higher account maintenance and service fees, partially offset by lower revenues from overdrafts.

Mortgage banking income totaled $216 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $121 million compared to $95 million earned in the first quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily due to $93 million in higher gains on residential mortgage loan production due to wider margins and increased sales volumes. Included in mortgage banking income during the first quarter of 2012 was a gain of $40 million from the net valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights. This compares to a net gain of $2 million in the first quarter of 2011. Included in the first quarter 2012 net valuation adjustment is a $93 million increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, primarily due to a decrease in prepayment speeds, partially offset by $53 million of losses from derivative financial instruments used to manage the economic risk of the mortgage servicing rights.

Securities losses, net of gains and including other-than-temporary impairment charges, totaled $9 million for the first quarter of 2012. This includes $4 million of losses from the sale of non-agency mortgage backed securities and $5 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges. The other-than-temporary impairment charges for the first quarter of 2012 include $4 million related to covered securities.

Other noninterest income, including investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions, checkcard fees, bankcard fees and merchant discounts, trust and investment advisory revenues, income from bank-owned life insurance, and FDIC loss share income totaled $256 million during the first quarter of 2012, compared with $234 million for the same period of 2011. This increase was primarily due to $74 million of losses and write-downs recorded on commercial loans held for sale in the first quarter of 2011. Offsetting this increase was $42 million of increased write-downs on affordable housing investments due to revised estimates and processes used to value these investments and a $29 million decrease in checkcard fees primarily due to the implementation of the Durbin amendment on October 1, 2011.

57

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses totaled $1.4 billion for the first quarter of 2012, a slight increase over the same period a year ago.

Personnel expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, was $730 million for the current quarter compared to $694 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $36 million, or 5.2%. This growth primarily resulted from increases of $20 million in salaries and $15 million for pension expense. The increase in pension expense was primarily due to a change in the discount rate.

Foreclosed property expenses include the gain or loss on sale of foreclosed property, valuation adjustments resulting from updated appraisals, and the ongoing expense of maintaining foreclosed properties. Foreclosed property expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $92 million compared to $143 million for the first quarter of 2011. Foreclosed property expenses were lower due to fewer losses and write-downs and lower maintenance costs due to a reduction in inventory compared to the prior year. Management expects foreclosed property expense to be at a similar level in the second quarter of 2012 and to trend downward in the second half of the year, as the inventory continues to decline.

Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $153 million, a slight decrease compared to $154 million for the first quarter of 2011.

Other noninterest expenses, including loan processing expenses, regulatory charges, professional services, software expense, amortization of intangibles, and merger-related and restructuring charges, totaled $410 million for the current quarter, an increase of $29 million, or 7.6%, compared to the same period of 2011. The increase in other noninterest expenses includes a $15 million write-down for the April settlement of the last remaining leveraged leases and an increase of $14 million for merger-related and restructuring charges, primarily due to charges associated with management’s expense optimization efforts and costs related to the BankAtlantic and Crump acquisitions. Regulatory charges decreased $20 million, or 32.8%, as a result of improved credit quality that has led to lower deposit insurance premiums.

Noninterest expenses remain elevated due to higher costs associated with the credit environment. This includes higher foreclosed property expenses, personnel costs and other expenses associated with collections and problem loan workouts. Management expects that as the levels of nonperforming assets decline these costs will decrease.

Merger-Related and Restructuring Activities

Management expects merger-related and restructuring charges to be approximately $40-$50 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to the acquisitions of Crump and BankAtlantic. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $25 million and $20 million, respectively, of merger-related and restructuring accruals. Merger and restructuring accruals are re-evaluated periodically and adjusted as necessary. The remaining accruals at March 31, 2012 are expected to be utilized within one year, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire later.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $189 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $136 million compared to the same period of 2011, primarily due to higher pre-tax income. BB&T’s effective income tax rates for the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 were 29.8% and 18.5%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the current year is primarily the result of higher pre-tax income relative to permanent tax differences. In addition, the current quarter includes $16 million in tax expense primarily due to changes in the treatment of certain credits related to affordable housing partnership investments.

BB&T has extended credit to, and invested in, the obligations of states and municipalities and their agencies, and has made other investments and loans that produce tax-exempt income. The income generated from these investments, together with certain other transactions that have favorable tax treatment, have reduced BB&T’s overall effective tax rate from the statutory rate in 2012 and 2011.

58

Management currently expects the effective tax rate to be in the mid-20% range for the remainder of 2012.

Refer to Note 11 “Income Taxes” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of uncertain tax positions and other tax matters.

Segment Results

BB&T’s operations are divided into six reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Dealer Financial Services, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services, and Financial Services. These operating segments have been identified based on BB&T’s organizational structure. See Note 17 “Operating Segments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained herein and BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s reportable business segments. Fluctuations in noninterest income and noninterest expense incurred directly by the operating segments are more fully discussed in the “Noninterest Income” and “Noninterest Expense” sections above. The following table reflects the net income (loss) for each of BB&T’s operating segments:

BB&T Corporation	$	445	$	234

Community Banking reported net income of $105 million compared to $93 million in the prior year. The $12 million increase in net income attributable to the Community Banking segment was primarily due to a $75 million increase in noninterest income and a $51 million decrease in noninterest expense. Noninterest income growth was driven by higher mortgage banking referral income and lower losses on commercial loans held for sale. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily the result of lower foreclosed property expenses and lower FDIC insurance charges allocated to Community Banking. Higher noninterest income and lower noninterest expense was offset by a $51 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses and a $37 million decrease in net interest income and intersegment net interest income. The higher loan loss provision was driven by reserve adjustments and growth in the direct retail loan portfolio as compared to the prior year. The decrease in net interest income and intersegment net interest income was primarily driven by lower funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) credits earned on deposits related to the decline in the FTP liquidity premiums from the prior year, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in FTP charges on loans. The decrease in net FTP was further offset by improvements in the deposit mix as a result of growth in transaction account balances and a decline in client certificates of deposits.

Residential Mortgage Banking reported net income of $128 million compared to a $5 million net loss in the prior year. This improvement was primarily due to a $120 million increase in noninterest income primarily due to higher mortgage loan sales, improved margins and an increase in the fair value of the mortgage servicing asset. The increase in the fair value of the mortgage servicing asset was partially offset by losses on derivatives hedging the value of the asset. In addition, Residential Mortgage Banking benefited from a $101 million decrease in the

59

allocated provision for loan and lease losses as a result of improving credit trends in the Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio and updates to loss factors. Offsetting higher noninterest income and lower provision expenses was a $22 million increase in noninterest expense associated with the increased loan originations, as well as an $80 million increase in the provision for income taxes.

Dealer Financial Services reported net income of $57 million compared to $47 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $14 million increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income, as Regional Acceptance Corporation generated higher margins on new originations in its loan portfolio due to lower FTP cost of funding as interest rates have remained low and relatively stable, coupled with growth in the loan portfolio.

Specialized Lending reported net income of $53 million compared to $63 million in the prior year. The $10 million decrease in net income for the Specialized Lending segment was primarily due to a $23 million increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses, offset by an $18 million increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income. Net interest income and intersegment net interest income growth was driven by Sheffield Financial’s loan portfolio growth from expanded dealer financing relationships, as well as Mortgage Warehouse Lending’s loan portfolio growth from new relationships, higher commitment levels, and higher line usage.

Insurance Services reported net income of $23 million compared to $21 million in the prior year. Noninterest income increased $21 million over the prior year primarily driven by higher commissions on property and casualty insurance and employee benefits. Employee benefits commission growth was primarily attributable to two companies acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011: Precept, a full-service employee benefits consulting and administrative solutions firm with offices in Irvine and San Ramon, California, and Liberty Benefit Insurance Services, a full-service employee benefits broker located in San Jose, California. Higher noninterest income growth was offset by a $17 million increase in noninterest expense, primarily as a result of higher personnel costs.

Financial Services reported net income of $63 million compared to $65 million in the prior year. The $2 million decrease in net income was primarily due to a $23 million increase in the allocated provision for loan

and lease losses and a $20 million increase in noninterest expense and allocated corporate expenses. Higher noninterest expenses were driven by personnel costs, service center allocations, and professional services primarily resulting from growth in the segment. The higher loan loss provision was driven by growth in the loan portfolio as compared to the prior year, coupled with reserve adjustments in the prior year related to credit quality trends. Higher provision and noninterest expenses were offset by a $28 million increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income and a $12 million increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income and intersegment net interest income was driven by strong growth in Corporate Banking’s loans and deposits and increased BB&T Wealth lending. Corporate Banking’s loan growth of 58.6% and transaction deposit growth of 73.9% was generated through both geographic expansion and the addition of industry sector expertise. Corporate Banking continues to increase its syndicated lending efforts to support its expanded customer base. Captured within the intersegment interest income for Financial Services is the net interest margin and FTP for the loans and deposits assigned to the Wealth Division that are housed in the Community Bank. The increase in noninterest income was driven by strong core growth across Financial Services’ fee-based businesses.

Analysis Of Financial Condition

Investment Activities

The total securities portfolio was $37.9 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $1.5 billion compared with December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the securities portfolio includes $24.4 billion of available-for-sale securities and $13.5 billion of securities held to maturity. Management holds a portion of BB&T’s securities portfolio as held-to-maturity to mitigate possible negative impacts on its regulatory capital under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines. The effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.8 years at March 31, 2012

60

compared to 3.3 years at December 31, 2011. The duration of the securities portfolio excludes equity securities, auction rate securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities that were acquired in the Colonial acquisition.

Average securities for the first quarter of 2012 were $36.6 billion, an increase of $11.5 billion, or 46.0%, compared with the average balance during the first quarter of 2011. The increase in the average securities portfolio reflects the purchase of additional GNMA securities in the latter half of 2011 as part of management’s strategy to comply with the proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines.

See Note 2 “Securities” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.

Lending Activities

For the first quarter of 2012, average total loans were $110.4 billion, an increase of $5.1 billion, or 4.9%, compared to the same period in 2011. Average loans held for investment were $107.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012, a 4.7% increase compared to $102.6 billion for the corresponding period of the prior year. The growth in average loans held for investment was broad-based and across all of the major lending portfolios.

The following table presents the composition of average loans and leases:

(1) Commercial real estate - residential ADC represents residential acquisition, development and construction loans.

Average commercial and industrial loans were up 7.7% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011. The increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio is largely a result of management’s focused efforts at growing this component of the loan portfolio. Average commercial real estate - residential, acquisition and development loans (“ADC”) declined $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2012

61

compared to the same period of 2011. The decline in this portfolio reflects management’s decision to lower exposures to higher-risk real estate lending. The balance of the ADC portfolio was $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2012. Average commercial real estate - other loans for the first quarter of 2012 declined 6.1% compared to the first quarter of 2011. The decline in this portfolio is primarily due to runoff of certain segments of the portfolio.

Average direct retail loans grew $1.0 billion, or 7.3%, for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. This portfolio is primarily home equity loans and lines to individuals. Demand for home equity loans improved during the second quarter of 2011 and balances have increased for each of the last four quarters. Average direct retail loans increased 15.2%, on an annualized basis, compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Average residential mortgage loans held for investment increased $3.1 billion, or 17.5%, for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011, as management continues to retain certain residential mortgage loans in the held for investment portfolio.

Average sales finance loans increased 6.2% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011 as prime automobile lending continues to perform well.

Average loans held by BB&T’s other lending subsidiaries increased 11.2% for the first three months of 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011. The growth in this portfolio was primarily in equipment finance and consumer finance.

Average loans held for sale increased $245 million, or 9.2%, for the first quarter compared to the same period in 2011 due to growth of $642 million, or 31.5%, in average residential mortgage loans held for sale as a result of the historic low-rate environment. In addition, average commercial mortgage loans held for sale, were up $93 million in the first quarter of 2012. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $491 million in average commercial loans held for sale that were still held in 2011, as part of management’s nonperforming loan disposition efforts. All commercial loans held for sale were disposed of prior to the end of 2011.

Average total loans held for investment increased an annualized 6.4% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Management currently expects average total loans held for investment to increase in the range of 5% to 7% annualized for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter, excluding BankAtlantic, contingent on overall economic conditions remaining relatively stable.

Asset Quality

BB&T’s asset quality continued to improve during the first quarter of 2012. Nonperforming assets, which includes foreclosed real estate, repossessions, nonaccrual loans and certain restructured loans, totaled $2.6 billion (or $2.3 billion excluding covered foreclosed property) at March 31, 2012, compared to $2.8 billion (or $2.5 billion excluding covered foreclosed property) at December 31, 2011. The 7.9% decrease in nonperforming assets, excluding covered foreclosed property, was primarily due to a decline of $158 million in foreclosed real estate. Nonperforming assets have decreased for eight consecutive quarters and are at their lowest level since December 31, 2008. Management expects nonperforming assets will continue to trend lower in the range of 5-10% for the second quarter of 2012, assuming no significant economic downturn. Refer to Table 8 for an analysis of the changes in nonperforming assets during the first quarter of 2012. As a percentage of loans and leases plus foreclosed property, nonperforming assets were 2.35% at March 31, 2012 (or 2.12% excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) compared with 2.52% (or 2.29% excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) at December 31, 2011.

The current inventory of foreclosed real estate, excluding amounts covered under FDIC loss sharing agreements, totaled $378 million as of March 31, 2012. This includes land and lots, which totaled $217 million and had been held for approximately 16 months on average. The remaining foreclosed real estate of $161 million, which is primarily single family residential and commercial real estate, had an average holding period of 11 months.

Loan delinquencies improved significantly during the first quarter of 2012. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements,

62

totaled $157 million at March 31, 2012, compared with $202 million at year-end 2011, a decline of 22.3%. Loans 30-89 days past due, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, totaled $870 million at March 31, 2012, which was a decline of $262 million, or 23.1%, compared with $1.1 billion at year-end 2011.

Substantially all of the loans acquired in the Colonial acquisition are covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, whereby the FDIC reimburses BB&T for the majority of the losses incurred. Given the significant amount of covered loans that are past due but still accruing, BB&T believes the inclusion of these loans in certain asset quality ratios including “Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases,” “Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases,” “Nonperforming loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases” and certain other asset quality ratios that reflect nonperforming assets in the numerator or denominator (or both) results in significant distortion to these ratios. In addition, because loan level charge-offs related to the acquired loans are not recognized in the financial statements until the cumulative amounts exceed the original loss projections on a pool basis, the net charge-off ratio for the acquired loans is not consistent with the net charge-off ratio for other loan portfolios. The inclusion of these loans in the asset quality ratios described above could result in a lack of comparability across quarters or years, and could negatively impact comparability with other portfolios that were not impacted by acquisition accounting. BB&T believes that the presentation of asset quality measures excluding covered loans and related amounts from both the numerator and denominator provides better perspective into underlying trends related to the quality of its loan portfolio. Accordingly, the asset quality measures in Table 7 present asset quality information both on a consolidated basis as well as excluding the covered assets and related amounts. In addition, BB&T has excluded mortgage loans that are guaranteed by the government, primarily FHA/VA loans, from its asset quality metrics as these loans are recoverable through various government guarantees. Finally, BB&T has recorded on the balance sheet certain amounts related to delinquent GNMA loans serviced for others that BB&T has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase and has effectively regained control. These amounts are also excluded from asset quality metrics as reimbursement of insured amounts is proceeding in accordance with investor guidelines. The amount of government guaranteed mortgage loans and GNMA loans serviced for others that have been excluded are noted in the footnotes to Table 6.

BB&T’s potential problem loans include loans on nonaccrual status or past due as disclosed in Table 6. In addition, for its commercial portfolio segment, loans that are rated special mention or substandard performing are closely monitored by management as potential problem loans. Refer to Note 4 “Allowance for Credit Losses” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to these potential problem loans.

(1) Excludes mortgage loans guaranteed by GNMA that BB&T does not have the obligation to repurchase. Refer to the footnotes of Table 6 for amounts related to these loans.

(2) Excludes mortgage loans guaranteed by the government. Refer to the footnotes of Table 6 for amounts related to these loans.

(3) These asset quality ratios have been adjusted to remove the impact of covered loans and covered foreclosed property. Appropriate adjustments to the numerator and denominator have been reflected in the calculation of these ratios. Management believes the inclusion of covered loans in certain asset quality ratios that include nonperforming assets, past due loans or net charge-offs in the numerator or denominator results in distortion of these ratios and they may not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that were not impacted by purchase accounting.

(4) Excluding the impact of losses and balances associated with BB&T’s NPA disposition strategy, the adjusted net charge-offs ratio would have been 1.46% for the second quarter 2011.

Certain of BB&T’s residential mortgage loans have an initial period where the borrower is only required to pay the periodic interest. After the interest period, the loan will require both the payment of interest and principal over the remaining term. As of March 31, 2012, approximately 10% of the outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans is in the interest-only phase, compared to 11% at December 31, 2011. Approximately 17% of the balances at March 31, 2012, will begin amortizing within the next three years. As of March 31, 2012, 3.9% of these interest-only loans are 30 days or more past due and still accruing and 2.9% are on nonaccrual status, compared to 4.3% and 2.8%, respectively, at December 31, 2011.

BB&T’s home equity lines, which are a component of the direct retail portfolio, generally require the payment of interest only during the first 15 years after origination. After this initial period, the outstanding balance begins amortizing and requires the payment of both interest and principal. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 66% of the outstanding balance of home equity lines is currently in the interest-only phase and less than 5% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. The delinquency rate of interest-only lines is similar to amortizing lines.

The following table presents the changes in nonperforming assets, excluding covered foreclosed property, during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Troubled debt restructurings (“restructurings”) generally occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term. As a result, BB&T will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties, and ultimately to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted resulting in classification of the loan as a restructuring. Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional policy information regarding restructurings.

67

BB&T’s performing restructured loans, excluding government guaranteed mortgage loans, totaled $1.0 billion at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $94 million, or 8.5%, compared with December 31, 2011. The decline was primarily related to commercial performing restructurings and direct retail restructurings. The decline in direct retail restructurings was largely due to the removal of TDRs due to performance under the modified terms for the required time period (generally a minimum of six months). The following table provides a summary of commercial performing restructuring activity during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Balance at March 31,	$	188		$	478

Payments and payoffs represent cash received from borrowers in connection with scheduled principal payments, prepayments and payoffs of amounts outstanding at the maturity date of the loan. Transfers to nonperforming restructurings represent loans that no longer meet the requirements necessary to reflect the loan in accruing status and as a result are subsequently classified as a nonperforming restructuring.

Restructurings may be removed due to the passage of time if they: (1) did not include a forgiveness of principal or interest, (2) have performed in accordance with the modified terms (generally a minimum of six months), (3) were reported as a restructuring over a year end reporting period, and (4) reflected an interest rate on the modified loan that was a market rate at the date of modification. These loans were previously considered restructurings as a result of structural concessions such as extended interest-only terms or an amortization period that did not otherwise conform to normal underwriting guidelines.

In addition, certain transactions may be removed from classification as a restructuring as a result of a subsequent non-concessionary re-modification. Non-concessionary re-modifications represent restructurings that did not contain concessionary terms at the date of a subsequent renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower would continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the re-modification. A re-modification may be considered for such a re-classification if the loan has not had a forgiveness of principal or interest and the modified terms qualify as more than minor such that the re-modified loan is considered a new loan. Alternatively, such loans may be considered for reclassification in years subsequent to the date of the re-modification based on the passage of time as described in the preceding paragraph.

In connection with consumer loan restructurings, a nonperforming loan will be returned to accruing status when current as to principal and interest and upon a sustained historical repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months).

(3) Nonperforming restructurings are included in nonaccrual loan disclosures.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses, which consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, totaled $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to 2.02% of loans and leases held for investment at March 31, 2012 (or 1.97% excluding covered loans), compared to 2.10% (or 2.05% excluding covered loans) at year-end 2011. The decline in the allowance for loan and lease losses reflects continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The decrease in the overall allowance reflects increases for commercial and industrial loans and direct retail loans, which were offset by reductions in commercial real estate, residential mortgage and revolving credit due to updates to loss estimate factors. The allowance for impaired loans decreased from 15.4% at December 31, 2011 to 13.3% at March 31, 2012, primarily due to residential mortgage. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans held for investment, excluding covered loans, was 1.11x at March 31, 2012 compared to 1.13x at December 31, 2011.

BB&T monitors the performance of its home equity loans and lines secured by second liens similar to other consumer loans and utilizes assumptions specific to these loans in determining the necessary allowance. BB&T also receives notification when the first lien holder, whether BB&T or another financial institution, has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. When notified that the first lien holder is in the process of foreclosure, BB&T obtains valuations to determine if any additional charge-offs or reserves are warranted. These valuations are updated at least annually thereafter.

BB&T has limited ability to monitor the delinquency status of the first lien unless the first lien is held or serviced by BB&T. As a result, using migration assumptions that are based on historical experience adjusted for current

69

trends, BB&T estimates the volume of second lien positions where the first lien is delinquent and appropriately adjusts the allowance to reflect the increased risk of loss on these credits. Finally, BB&T also provides additional reserves to second lien positions when the estimated combined current loan to value ratio exceeds 100%. As of March 31, 2012, BB&T held or serviced the first lien on 39% of its second lien positions.

BB&T’s net charge-offs totaled $352 million for the first quarter of 2012 and amounted to 1.28% of average loans and leases (or 1.28% excluding covered loans), compared to $404 million, or 1.56% of average loans and leases (or 1.65% excluding covered loans), in the first quarter of 2011. Included in net charge-offs for 2012 is $15 million of charge-offs related to covered loans. This represents realized losses in certain acquired loan pools that exceed the amounts originally estimated at the acquisition date. This impairment, which is subject to the loss sharing agreements, was provided for in prior quarters and therefore the charge-off had no income statement impact.

Refer to Note 4 “Allowance for Credit Losses” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosures.

The following table presents an estimated allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. This allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated on an approximate basis and is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category of loans and leases.

Deposits

The following table presents the composition of average deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Table 13

Composition of Average Deposits

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012					2011
	Balance		% of total			Balance		% of total
	(Dollars in millions)
Noninterest-bearing deposits	$	26,173		21.0	%	$	20,990		19.9	%
Interest checking		19,712		15.8			17,622		16.7

Total average deposits	$	124,606		100.0	%	$	105,614		100.0	%

Average deposits for the first quarter of 2012 increased $19.0 billion, or 18.0%, compared to the same period in 2011. The mix of the portfolio has continued to improve with growth of $5.2 billion in noninterest-bearing and $9.0 billion in lower-cost interest-bearing deposits. Certificates and other time deposits also increased $6.1 billion, while the cost for these products declined 75 basis points. Partially offsetting the growth in these categories was a decline of $1.4 billion in foreign office deposits as the strong deposit growth reduced the need for these types of funding sources. Growth in noninterest-bearing deposits was led by commercial accounts, which contributed $3.5 billion of the growth in this category. In addition, noninterest-bearing deposits for public funds and retail accounts grew $836 million and $824 million, respectively. Growth in interest-bearing domestic deposits was also led by commercial accounts, which contributed $14.9 billion of the growth in this category, followed by public funds, which grew $832 million. Retail interest-bearing deposits declined $547 million, as higher cost certificates were not renewed. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.49% for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 33 basis points compared to the same period of 2011.

Borrowings

At March 31, 2012, short-term borrowings totaled $3.4 billion, a decrease of $130 million, or 3.6%, compared to December 31, 2011. Long-term debt totaled $22.8 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $965 million, or 4.4%, from the balance at December 31, 2011. The increase in long-term debt reflects the issuance of $750 million of senior notes in March 2012, with an interest rate of 2.15% due March 2017, and $300 million in subordinated notes in March 2012, with an interest rate of 3.95% due March 2022. The proceeds from these issuances are being used for general corporate funding purposes.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2012 was $17.9 billion, an increase of 2.3% compared to December 31, 2011. BB&T’s book value per common share at March 31, 2012 was $25.51, compared to $24.98 at December 31, 2011.

Shareholders’ equity increased $291 million due to earnings available to common shareholders in excess of dividends declared. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $97 million, primarily as a result of an increase in the fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

BB&T’s tangible shareholders’ equity available to common shareholders was $12.0 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $292 million, or 2.5%, compared to December 31, 2011. BB&T’s tangible book value per common share at March 31, 2012 was $17.12 compared to $16.73 at December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, measures

72

of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

Risk Management

In the normal course of business BB&T encounters inherent risk in its business activities. Risk is managed on a decentralized basis with risk decisions made as closely as possible to where the risk occurs. Centrally, risk oversight is managed at the corporate level through oversight, policies and reporting. The principal types of inherent risk include regulatory, credit, liquidity, market, operational, reputation and strategic risks. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for disclosures related to each of these risks under the section titled “Risk Management.”

Market Risk Management

The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in BB&T’s lines of business. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value.

Interest Rate Market Risk (Other than Trading)

BB&T actively manages market risk associated with asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of appropriate maturity mixes of assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T’s portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.

The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable net interest margins and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. Among other things, this process gives consideration to prepayment trends related to securities, loans and leases and certain deposits that have no stated maturity. Prepayment assumptions are developed using market data for residential mortgage-related loans and securities, and internal historical prepayment experience for client deposits with no stated maturity and loans that are not residential mortgage related. These assumptions are subject to monthly back-testing, and are adjusted as deemed necessary to reflect changes in interest rates relative to the reference rate of the underlying assets or liabilities. On a monthly basis, BB&T evaluates the accuracy of its interest rate forecast simulation model, which includes an evaluation of its prepayment assumptions, to ensure that all significant assumptions inherent in the model appropriately reflect changes in the interest rate environment and related trends in prepayment activity. It is the responsibility of the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as to ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee meets regularly to review BB&T’s interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impact on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates is within acceptable standards.

BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risk related to securities, commercial loans, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of March 31, 2012, BB&T had derivative

73

financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $69.1 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was a loss of $78 million at March 31, 2012. See Note 15 “Derivative Financial Instruments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures.

The majority of BB&T’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the Federal Reserve Board to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution’s profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, which is monitored by the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee, management believes that BB&T is positioned to respond to changing needs for liquidity, changes in interest rates and inflationary trends.

Management uses Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis (“Simulation”) to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. The Simulation model projects net interest income and interest rate risk for a rolling two-year period of time. Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has made with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and commitments to enter into those transactions. Furthermore, the Simulation considers the impact of expected customer behavior. Management monitors BB&T’s interest sensitivity by means of a model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates earned and paid, and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios of projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but management believes that it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap. In addition to Simulation analysis, BB&T uses Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis to focus on changes in capital given potential changes in interest rates. This measure also allows BB&T to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the analysis window contained in the Simulation model. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the entire portfolio of BB&T’s assets, liabilities, and derivatives instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as the economic value of BB&T’s equity.

The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies, as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with the information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.

74

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity, customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in interest sensitive income reflects the level of sensitivity that interest sensitive income has in relation to changing interest rates.

Table 14

Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis

No Change		3.25			3.25			—			—
(0.25)		3.00			3.00			(0.86	)		(0.26	)

The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee has established parameters measuring interest sensitivity that prescribe a maximum negative impact on net interest income of 2% for the next 12 months for a linear change of 100 basis points over four months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining eight month period, and a maximum negative impact of 4% for a linear change of 200 basis points over eight months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining four month period. In the event that the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee on the most appropriate response given the current economic forecast. Management currently only modeled a negative 25 basis point decline because larger declines would have resulted in a Federal funds rate of less than zero.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, and deposit sensitivity. The resulting change in the economic value of equity reflects the level of sensitivity that EVE has in relation to changing interest rates.

Market Risk from Trading Activities

BB&T also manages market risk from trading activities which consists of acting as a financial intermediary to provide its customers access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets. Trading market risk is managed through the use of statistical and non-statistical risk measures and limits, with overall established limits. BB&T utilizes a historical value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading lines of business. This methodology uses one year of historical data to estimate economic outcomes for a one-day time horizon at a 99% confidence level.

75

The average VaR for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $310 thousand. Maximum daily VaR was approximately $670 thousand, and the low daily VaR was approximately $90 thousand during this same period, respectively.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Related Party Transactions

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for discussion with respect to BB&T’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about its fixed and determinable contractual obligations. Additional disclosures about BB&T’s contractual obligations, commitments and derivative financial instruments are included in Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies” and Note 14 “Fair Value Disclosures” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Liquidity

Liquidity represents BB&T’s continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, timely repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale, many other factors affect BB&T’s ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity in national money markets, growing core deposits, the repayment of loans and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale. The ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a routine basis to discuss the current outlook for BB&T and Branch Bank. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for disclosures related to BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit ratings and liquidity.

Capital Adequacy and Resources

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. BB&T’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support BB&T’s comprehensive risk profile, preserve a sufficient capital base from which to support future growth, provide a competitive return to shareholders, comply with regulatory standards and achieve optimal credit ratings for BB&T and its subsidiaries Refer to the section titled “Capital” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for additional information with regard to BB&T’s capital requirements.

Management regularly monitors the capital position of BB&T on a consolidated basis. In this regard, management’s overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that will result in BB&T being classified as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes and to maintain sufficient capital relative to the Corporation’s level of risk. Secondarily, it is management’s intent to maintain consolidated capital levels that result in regulatory risk-based capital ratios that are generally comparable with BB&T’s peers of similar size, complexity and risk profile. Management particularly monitors and intends to maintain the following minimum capital ratios:

Table 16

BB&T’s Internal Capital Guidelines

Tier 1 Capital Ratio	8.50	%
Total Capital Ratio	11.50
Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio	6.50
Tangible Capital Ratio	5.50
Tier 1 Common Equity Ratio	7.00

While nonrecurring events or management decisions may result in the Corporation temporarily falling below its minimum guidelines for one or more of these ratios, it is management’s intent through capital planning to return to these targeted minimums within a reasonable period of time. Such temporary decreases below these minimums are not considered an infringement of BB&T’s overall capital policy provided the Corporation and Branch Bank remain “well-capitalized.”

76

Management received no objection from the banking regulators with regards to its proposed capital actions for 2012, based on the regulator’s stress test results. Following the results, the Board of Directors approved a 25% increase in the second quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share. In addition, management has or will deploy additional capital in connection with the Crump acquisition and the pending BankAtlantic acquisition.

Management’s capital actions also include the retirement of $3.2 billion in trust preferred securities to be completed by the end of 2013. On April 2, 2012, management initiated the process to retire three issuances of trust preferred securities totaling $95 million.

BB&T’s capital ratios improved during the first quarter of 2012. The Tier 1 common equity ratio was 10.0% at March 31, 2012 compared to 9.7% at December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, management currently estimates the Tier 1 common ratio under the currently proposed Basel III standards to be 9.2% compared to 8.8% as of December 31, 2011.

BB&T’s regulatory and tangible capital ratios for the last five calendar quarters are set forth in Table 17. In September 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposed new regulatory capital requirements (commonly referred to as “Basel III”) in an effort to strengthen the financial services industry. It is anticipated that U.S. regulators will adopt new regulatory capital requirements similar to those defined in Basel III. The primary impacts to BB&T of the proposed measure are the deduction of net pension assets from Tier 1 capital and the elimination of the other comprehensive income adjustments for available-for-sale securities and pension and postretirement obligations. In addition, the proposed requirements result in adjustments to Tier 1 common equity and risk-weighted assets for mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets and unconsolidated investments. Refer to Table 18 for a reconciliation of how BB&T calculates the Tier 1 common equity ratio under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines.

(1) Current quarter regulatory capital information is preliminary.

(2) Tangible common equity and Tier 1 common equity ratios are non-GAAP measures. BB&T uses the Tier 1 common equity definition used in the SCAP assessment to calculate these ratios. BB&T’s management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and believes that investors may find them useful in their analysis of the Corporation. These capital measures are not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies.

(3) Risk-weighted assets are determined based on regulatory capital requirements. Under the regulatory framework for determining risk-weighted assets each asset class is assigned a risk-weighting of 0%, 20%, 50% or 100% based on the underlying risk of the specific asset class. In addition, off-balance sheet exposures are first converted to a balance sheet equivalent amount and subsequently assigned to one of the four risk-weightings.

Share Repurchase Activity

BB&T has periodically repurchased shares of its own common stock. In accordance with North Carolina law, repurchased shares cannot be held as treasury stock, but revert to the status of authorized and unissued shares upon repurchase.

On June 27, 2006, BB&T’s Board of Directors granted authority under a plan (the “2006 Plan”) for the repurchase of up to 50 million shares of BB&T’s common stock as needed for general corporate purposes. The 2006 Plan also authorizes the repurchase of the remaining shares from the previous authorization. The 2006 Plan remains in effect until all the authorized shares are repurchased unless modified by the Board of Directors. No shares were repurchased in connection with the 2006 Plan during 2012.
