The December 4, 2017 Form 8-K and tax reform-related items negatively impacted noninterest income by a net $7 million with the remaining $6 million of the $13 million sequential decrease driven bylower capital markets-related income, offset partially by higher commercial real estate-related income. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2016 , totalrevenue increased $113 million , or 5% , driven by a $95 million increase in net interest income (resulting from a higher net interest margin and growth inaverage earning assets) and an $18 million increase in total noninterest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $1.5 billion for the current quarter, an increase of $5 million compared to the prior quarter due to higher earning asset yields.The $95 million increase relative to the prior year was driven by higher earning asset yields and growth of $1.8 billion in average earning assets.

Net interest margin for the current quarter was 3.17% , compared to 3.15% in the prior quarter and 3.00% in the fourth quarter of 2016 .

The net interestmargin for the full year 2017 was 3.14% , a 14 basis point increase compared to 2016 .

Commercial real estate related income was $62 million for the current quarter, compared to $17 million for the prior quarter and $33 million for thefourth quarter of 2016 .

Operating (gains)/losses were $23 million in the current quarter, compared to ($34) million in the prior quarter and $23 million in the fourth quarter of2016 . The increase relative to the sequential quarter was driven by the favorable resolution of several legal matters during the prior quarter.

5

Other noninterest expense was $170 million in the current quarter, compared to $168 million in the prior quarter and $154 million in the fourth quarterof 2016 . The increase relative to the prior year was driven primarily by the aforementioned net $36 million charge related to efficiency actions, includingseverance costs in connection with the voluntary early retirement program, branch and corporate real estate closure costs, and software write-downs.

For the twelve months ended December 3 1 , 2017 , noninterest expense was $5.8 billion compared to $5.5 billion for 2016 . The $296 million increasewas driven largely by the aforementioned discrete charges recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, in addition to higher employee compensation expense(primarily related to higher revenue and the acquisition of Pillar which closed in December 2016) and higher net occupancy costs (in part due to thereduction of amortized gains from previous sale leaseback transactions).

Business Segment ResultsThe Company has included its business segment financial tables as part of this release. Revenue and income amounts labeled "FTE" in the business segment

tables are reported on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company realigned its business segment structure from three segments to twosegments in conjunction with the Company-wide organizational changes that were announced during the first quarter of 2017. Specifically, the Company retained theprevious composition of the Wholesale Banking segment and changed the basis of presentation of the Consumer Banking and Private Wealth Management segmentand Mortgage Banking segment such that those segments were combined into a single Consumer segment. In conjunction with this business segment structurerealignment, the Company made certain adjustments to its internal funds transfer pricing methodology. Information for periods prior to the second quarter of 2017 wasrevised to conform to the new business segment structure and the updated internal funds transfer pricing methodology.

For the business segments, net interest income is computed using matched-maturity funds transfer pricing and noninterest income includes federal and state taxcredits that are grossed-up on a pre-tax equivalent basis. Further, provision/(benefit) for credit losses represents net charge-offs by segment combined with anallocation to the segments of the provision/(benefit) attributable to each segment's quarterly change in the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") and unfundedcommitments reserve balances. SunTrust also reports results for Corporate Other, which includes the Treasury department as well as the residual expense associatedwith operational and support expense allocations. The Total Corporate Other results presented in this document also include Reconciling Items, which are comprised ofdifferences created between internal management accounting practices and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") and certain matched-maturity funds transfer pricing credits and charges. A detailed discussion of the business segment results will be included in the Company’s forthcoming Form 10-K .

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis news release includes non-GAAP financial measures to describe SunTrust’s performance. Additional information and reconciliations of those measures to

GAAP measures are provided in the appendix to this news release beginning at page 22 .

In this news release, consistent with SEC Industry Guide 3, the Company presents total revenue, net interest income, net interest margin, and efficiency ratios ona fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, and ratios on an annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loansand investments using a federal tax rate of 35% and state income taxes where applicable to increase tax-exempt interest income to a taxable-equivalent basis. TheCompany believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and it enhances comparability of net interest income arising fromtaxable and tax-exempt sources. Total revenue-FTE equals net interest income-FTE plus noninterest income.

The Company presents the following additional non-GAAP measures because many investors find them useful. Specifically:• The Company presents certain capital information on a tangible basis, including Tangible equity, Tangible common equity, the ratio of Tangible equity to

tangible assets, the ratio of Tangible common equity to tangible assets, Tangible book value per share, and the Return on tangible common shareholders’equity, which removes the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible assets from shareholders' equity and removes related intangible assetamortization from Net income available to common shareholders. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors because, by removing theamount of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity and amortization expense (the level of which may vary from company tocompany), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s capital position and return on average tangible common shareholders' equity to othercompanies in the industry who present similar measures. The Company also believes that removing these items provides a more relevant measure of the returnon the Company's common shareholders' equity. These measures are utilized by management to assess capital adequacy and profitability of the Company.

• Similarly, the Company presents Efficiency ratio-FTE, Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE, and Adjusted tangible efficiency ratio-FTE. The efficiency ratio iscomputed by dividing Noninterest expense by Total revenue. Efficiency ratio-FTE is computed by dividing Noninterest expense by Total revenue-FTE.Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE excludes the amortization related to intangible assets and certain tax credits. The Company believes this measure is useful toinvestors because, by removing the impact of amortization (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easilycompare the Company’s efficiency to other companies in the industry. Adjusted tangible efficiency ratio-FTE removes the pre-tax impact of Form 8-K itemsannounced on December 4, 2017 and the impacts of tax reform-related items from the calculation of Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE. The Company believesthis measure is useful to investors because it is more reflective of normalized operations as it reflects results that are primarily client relationship and clienttransaction driven. These measures are utilized by management to assess the efficiency of the Company and its lines of business.

• The Company presents the Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio, on a fully phased-in basis. The fully phased-in ratio considers a 250% risk-weighting for MSRs and deduction from capital of certain carryforward DTAs, the overfunded pension asset, and other intangible assets. The Companybelieves this measure is useful to investors who wish to understand the Company's current compliance with future regulatory requirements.

1 Certain amounts in this schedule are presented net of applicable income taxes, calculated based on each subsidiary’s federal and state tax rates and are adjusted for any permanent differences.2 The Company presents Net interest income-FTE, Total revenue-FTE, Net interest margin-FTE, Efficiency ratio-FTE, Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE, and Adjusted tangible efficiency ratio-FTE on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”)basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of Net interest income from certain loans and investments using a federal tax rate of 35% and state income taxes where applicable to increase tax-exempt interest income to ataxable-equivalent basis. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of Net interest income and it enhances comparability of Net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. Totalrevenue-FTE equals Net interest income-FTE plus Noninterest income.

3 The Company presents Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity, which removes the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible assets from average common shareholders' equity and removes relatedintangible asset amortization from Net income available to common shareholders. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by removing the amount of intangible assets and related pre-tax amortizationexpense (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s return on average common shareholders' equity to other companies in the industry. The Company alsobelieves that removing these items provides a more relevant measure of the return on the Company's common shareholders' equity. This measure is utilized by management to assess the profitability of the Company.

4 Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing Noninterest expense by Total revenue. Efficiency ratio-FTE is computed by dividing Noninterest expense by Total revenue-FTE.5 The Company presents Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE and Adjusted tangible efficiency ratio-FTE, which remove the amortization related to intangible assets and certain tax credits from the calculation of Efficiency ratio-FTE. TheCompany believes these measures are useful to investors because, by removing the impact of amortization (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’sefficiency to other companies in the industry. These measures are utilized by management to assess the efficiency of the Company and its lines of business.

6 The Company presents Adjusted tangible efficiency ratio-FTE, which removes the pre-tax impact of Form 8-K and other tax reform-related items from the calculation of Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE. The Company believes thismeasure is useful to investors because it is more reflective of normalized operations as it reflects results that are primarily client relationship and client transaction driven. Removing these items also allows investors to more easilycompare the Company's tangible efficiency to other companies in the industry that may not have had similar items impacting their results. Additional detail on certain of these items can be found in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC onDecember 4, 2017 and on page 1 of this news release.

7 Current period Basel III capital ratios are estimated as of the earnings release date. Fully phased-in ratios consider a 250% risk-weighting for MSRs and deduction from capital of certain carryforward DTAs, the overfunded pensionasset, and other intangible assets. The Company believes these measures may be useful to investors who wish to understand the Company's current compliance with future regulatory requirements.

1 Certain amounts in this schedule are presented net of applicable income taxes, calculated based on each subsidiary’s federal and state tax rates and are adjusted for any permanent differences.2 The Company presents certain capital information on a tangible basis, including Tangible equity, Tangible common equity, the ratio of Tangible equity to tangible assets, and the ratio of Tangible common equity to tangible assets,which remove the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible assets from shareholders' equity. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors because, by removing the amount of intangible assets that resultfrom merger and acquisition activity (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. These measures are usedby management to analyze capital adequacy.

1 Beginning in the second quarter of 2017, the Company realigned its business segment structure from three segments to two segments based on, among other things, the manner in which financial information is evaluated bymanagement and in conjunction with Company-wide organizational changes that were announced during the first quarter of 2017. Specifically, the Company retained the previous composition of the Wholesale Banking segment andchanged the basis of presentation of the Consumer Banking and Private Wealth Management segment and Mortgage Banking segment such that those segments were combined into a single Consumer segment. Accordingly, priorperiod information has been revised to conform to the new business segment structure and updated internal funds transfer pricing methodology for consistent presentation.2 Net interest income-FTE, Income-FTE, Total revenue-FTE, Efficiency ratio-FTE, and Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis.

4Q 17 EARNINGS PRESENTATION January 19, 2018 © 2018 SunTrust Banks, Inc. SunTrust is a federally registered trademark of SunTrust Banks, Inc.

2 This presentation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and other information contained in the Company’s forthcoming Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures to describe SunTrust’s performance. The reconciliations of those measures to GAAP measures are provided within or in the appendix of this presentation beginning on slide 24. In this presentation, consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 3, the Company presents total revenue, net interest income, net interest margin, and efficiency ratios on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments using a federal tax rate of 35% and state income taxes where applicable to increase tax-exempt interest income to a taxable-equivalent basis. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. Total revenue- FTE equals net interest income-FTE plus noninterest income. The Company presents the following additional non-GAAP measures because many investors find them useful. Specifically: • The Company presents certain capital information on a tangible basis, including tangible common equity, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible book value per share, and return on average tangible common equity. These measures exclude the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible assets. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors because, by removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. These measures are used by management to analyze capital adequacy of the Company. • Similarly, the Company presents Efficiency ratio-FTE, Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE, and Adjusted tangible efficiency ratio-FTE. The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing Noninterest expense by Total revenue. Efficiency ratio- FTE is computedby dividing Noninterest expense by Total revenue-FTE. Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE excludes the amortization related to intangible assets and certain tax credits. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by removing the impact of amortization (the level of which may vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s efficiency to other companies in the industry. Adjusted tangible efficiency ratio-FTE removes the pre-tax impact of Form 8-K items announced on December 4, 2017 and the impacts of tax reform-related items from the calculation of Tangible efficiency ratio-FTE. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it is more reflective of normalized operations as it reflects results that are primarily client relationship and client transaction driven. These measures are utilized by management to assess the efficiency of the Company and its lines of business. • The Company presents adjusted EPS which excludes the impact of Form 8-K items announced on December 4, 2017 and the impacts of tax reform-related items. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it is more reflective of normalized operations as it reflects results that are primarily client relationship and client transaction driven. These measures are utilized by management to assess the earnings of the Company and its lines of business. • The Company presents the Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio, on a fully phased-in basis. The fully phased-in ratio considers a 250% risk-weighting for MSRs and deduction from capital of certain carryforward DTAs, the overfunded pension asset, and other intangible assets. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors who wish to understand the Company's current compliance with future regulatory requirements. Important Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements.

Those factors include: current and future legislation and regulation could require us to change our business practices, reduce revenue, impose additional costs, or otherwise adversely affect business operations or competitiveness; we are subject to stringent capital adequacy and liquidity requirements and our failure to meet these would adversely affect our financial condition; the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on our earnings; our financial results have been, and may continue to be, materially affected by general economic conditions, and a deterioration of economic conditions or of the financial markets may materially adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and condition; changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity;our earnings may be affected by volatility in mortgage production and servicing revenues, and by changes in carrying values of our servicing assets and mortgages held for sale due to changes in interest rates; disruptions in our ability to access global capital markets may adversely affect our capital resources and liquidity; we are subject to credit risk; we may have more credit risk and higher credit losses to the extent that our loans are concentrated by loan type, industry segment, borrower type, or location of the borrower or collateral; we rely on the mortgage secondary market and GSEs for some of our liquidity; loss of customer deposits could increase our funding costs; any reduction in our credit rating could increase the cost of our funding from the capital markets, we are subject to litigation, and our expenses related to this litigation may adversely affect our results; we may incur fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations, possibly even inadvertent or unintentional violations; we are subject to certain risks related to originating and selling mortgages, and may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify mortgage loan purchasers as a result of breaches of representations and warranties, or borrower fraud, and this could harm our liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition; we face risks as a servicer of loans; we are subject to risks related to delays in the foreclosure process; consumers and small businesses may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions, which could affect net income; we have businesses other than banking which subject us to a variety of risks; negative public opinion could damage our reputation and adversely impact business and revenues; we may face more intense scrutiny of our sales training, and incentive compensation practices; we rely on other companies to provide key components of our business infrastructure; competition in the financial services industry is intense and we could lose business or suffer margin declines as a result; we continually encounter technological change and must effectively develop and implement new technology; maintaining or increasing market share depends on market acceptance and regulatory approval of new products and services; we have in the past and may in the future pursue acquisitions, which could affect costs and from which

we may not be able to realize anticipated benefits; we depend on the expertise of key personnel, and if these individuals leave or change their roles without effective replacements, operations may suffer; we may not be able to hire or retain additional qualified personnel and recruiting and compensation costs may increase as a result of turnover, both of which may increase costs and reduce profitability and may adversely impact our ability to implement our business strategies; our framework for managing risks may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to us; our controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud; we are at risk of increased losses from fraud; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber- attacks, could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses; the soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us; we depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about clients and counterparties; our accounting policies and processes are critical to how we report our financial condition and results of operation, and they require management to make estimates about matters that are uncertain; depressed market values for our stock and adverse economic conditions sustained over a period of time may require us to write down some portion of our goodwill; our financial instruments measured at fair value expose us to certain market risks; our stock price can be volatile; our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries or other investments could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends; we might not pay dividends on our stock; certain banking laws and certain provisions of our articles of incorporation may have an anti-takeover effect; and the interest rates of our outstanding floating rate indebtedness and assets might be subject to change based on recent regulatory changes.

On this slide, net interest income is reported on an unadjusted and fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. SunTrust believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts. Net interest margin (FTE) is calculated as net interest income (FTE) divided by average earning assets (on an annualized basis) 2.
