NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002
NOTE A -- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q,
and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes
necessary for a complete presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. For a summary
of significant accounting policies that have been consistently
followed, see NOTE A to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. It is
management's opinion that all adjustments, consisting of only
normal and recurring items necessary for a fair presentation, have
been included.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform
to the current period presentation.
NOTE B -- Pending Acquisitions
As of June 30, 2002, Regions has no pending business combinations.
NOTE C -- New Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141 (FAS 141), "Business Combinations" and Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142), "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets". Statement 141 prohibits the use of
pooling-of-interests method to account for business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 provides guidance for
the amortization of goodwill arising from the use of the purchase
method to account for business combinations. Goodwill arising from
purchase business combinations completed after June 30, 2001, will
not be amortized. The accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets required under Statement 142 was effective for
the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002.
The following tables illustrate the impact of the adoption of FAS
142:

NOTE D -- Business Segment Information
Regions' segment information is presented based on Regions' primary
segments of business. Each segment is a strategic business unit that
serves specific needs of Regions' customers. The Company's primary
segment is Community Banking. Community Banking represents the
Company's branch banking functions and has separate management that
is responsible for the operation of that business unit. In addition,
Regions has designated as distinct reportable segments the activity
of its treasury, mortgage banking, investment
banking/brokerage/trust, and insurance divisions. The treasury
division includes the Company's bond portfolio, indirect mortgage
lending division, and other wholesale activities. Mortgage banking
consists of Regions' mortgage subsidiary. Investment banking
includes trust activities and all brokerage and investment activities
associated with Morgan Keegan, and for periods prior to the
acquisition of Morgan Keegan, the activities of Regions' securities
brokerage subsidiary. Insurance includes all business associated
with commercial insurance, in addition to credit life products sold
to consumer customers. The reportable segment designated "Other"
includes activity of Regions' indirect consumer lending division and
the parent company.
The accounting policies used by each reportable segment are the same
as those discussed in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
following table presents financial information for each reportable
segment.

NOTE E -- Derivative Financial Instruments
Regions maintains positions in derivative financial instruments to
manage interest rate risk, to facilitate asset/liability
management strategies, and to manage other risk exposures. The
most common derivative instruments are forward rate agreements,
interest rate swaps, and put and call options. For those
derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting, according
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (FAS 133),
Regions designates the hedging instrument as either a cash flow or
fair value hedge. The accounting policies associated with
derivative financial instruments are discussed further in Note A
to the Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of
the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Regions utilizes certain derivative instruments to hedge the
variability of cash flows related to interest payments under debt
instruments. To the extent that the hedge of future cash flows is
effective, changes in the fair value of the derivative are
recognized as a component of other comprehensive income in
stockholders' equity. As of June 30, 2002, Regions had recognized
a $6.2 million loss in other comprehensive income related to cash
flow hedges. The Company will amortize this loss into earnings in
conjunction with the recognition of interest payments through 2011
consistent with FAS 133. For the six months ended June 30, 2002,
there was no ineffectiveness recognized in other non-interest
expense attributable to cash flow hedges. No gains or losses were
recognized in the first six months of 2002 related to components
of derivative instruments that were excluded from the assessment
of hedge effectiveness.
Regions hedges the changes in fair value of assets or firm
commitments using forward contracts, which represent commitments
to sell money market instruments at a future date at a specified
price or yield. The contracts are utilized by the Company to
hedge interest rate risk positions associated with the origination
of mortgage loans held for sale. The Company is subject to the
market risk associated with changes in the value of the underlying
financial instrument as well as the risk that the other party will
fail to perform. The amount of hedging gains and losses, which is
reflected in other non-interest expense, was not material to the
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Regions has also entered into interest rate swap agreements
converting a portion of its fixed rate long-term debt to floating
rate. These derivative instruments are included in other assets or
other liabilities on the statement of financial condition. For the
six months ended June 30, 2002, there was no ineffectiveness
recorded to earnings related to these fair value hedges. No gains
or losses were recognized in the first six months of 2002 related
to components of derivative instruments that were excluded from
the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
The Company also maintains a trading portfolio of interest rate
swap and option contracts with customers and market
counterparties. The portfolio is used to generate trading profit
and help clients manage interest rate risk. Transactions within
the portfolio generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating
rate payments without the exchange of the underlying principal
amounts. The fair value of the trading portfolio at June 30,
2002, was $10.1 million.
Foreign currency exchange contracts involve the trading of one
currency for another on a specified date and at a specified rate.
These contracts are executed on behalf of the Company's customers
and are used to facilitate the management of fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. The notional amount of forward foreign
exchange contracts totaled $9 million and $18 million at June 30,
2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The Company is subject to
the risk that another party will fail to perform and the gross
amount of the contracts represents the Company's maximum exposure
to credit risk.
In the normal course of business, Regions' brokerage subsidiary
enters into underwriting and forward and future commitments. At
June 30, 2002, the contract amount of future contracts to purchase
and sell U.S. Government and municipal securities was
approximately $15 million and $100 million, respectively. The
brokerage subsidiary typically settles its position by entering
into equal but opposite contracts and, as such, the contract
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Settlement of the transactions relating to such commitments is not
expected to have a material effect on the subsidiary's financial
position. Transactions involving future settlement give rise to
market risk, which represents the potential loss that can be
caused by a change in the market value of a particular financial
instrument. The exposure to market risk is determined by a number
of factors, including size, composition and diversification of
positions held, the absolute and relative levels of interest
rates, and market volatility.
NOTE F -- Accelerated Repurchase Agreement
In connection with the Company's general stock repurchase program,
Regions entered into a purchase agreement on May 13, 2002 to
purchase 8 million shares of Regions' common stock at a price of
$35.37 per share. The contract provides for a purchase price
adjustment, which considers market interest rates, dividends,
average purchase price, date of purchase, and other factors. The
settlement date for the contract is December 9, 2002. Regions will
have the option to settle the contract in cash or in whole shares
of common stock and has classified the contract as an equity
instrument. The maximum number of shares Regions would be required
to issue at the settlement date will not be in excess of 10
million shares.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and financial information is presented to
aid in understanding Regions Financial Corporation's (Regions or
the Company) financial position and results of operations. The
emphasis of this discussion will be on the year ended December 31,
2001 and the six and three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared
to the six and three months ended June 30, 2001.
In preparing financial information, management is required to make
significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses for
the periods shown. The accounting principles followed by Regions
and the methods of applying these principles conform with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and
general banking practices. The estimates and assumptions which are
most significant to Regions are related primarily to allowance for
loan losses, intangibles, and income taxes.
TOTAL ASSETS
Regions' total assets at June 30, 2002, were $46.1 billion -- an
increase of 2% compared to June 30, 2001 and to year-end 2001.
These increases were due primarily to higher balances in
securities and short-term investments.
Comparisons with June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001 are affected
by the acquisitions of Park Meridian Financial Corporation, First
Bancshares of Texas, Inc., Brookhollow Bancshares, Inc. and
Independence Bank, National Association (accounted for as
purchases). In addition, at the end of the first quarter of 2001,
Regions acquired Morgan Keegan, Inc. The second quarter of 2001
was the first period that Morgan Keegan's operations were
reflected in Regions' income statement, average balance sheet and
related yields and rates, thus affecting certain year-to-date
comparisons. Relevant acquisitions are summarized as follows:

Association
LOANS
Total loans at June 30, 2002, increased 1% since year-end 2001 and
June 30, 2001. These increases are primarily due to a 7% growth
in both the commercial and consumer categories partially offset by
a 6% decline in residential mortgage loans since June 30, 2001.
The average yields on loans during the first six months and second
quarter of 2002 were 6.82% and 6.70%, respectively, compared to
8.59% and 8.41%, respectively, during the same periods in 2001.
Non-performing assets were as follows (dollars in thousands):
June 30, Dec. 31, June 30,
2002 2001 2001
Non-accruing loans $280,371 $269,764 $259,291
Loans past due 90
days or more 43,224 46,845 41,736
Renegotiated loans 42,332 42,807 14,223

Total $418,019 $400,288 $344,507
Non-performing assets
as a percentage of
loans and other real
estate 1.34% 1.29% 1.11%
Non-accruing loans at June 30, 2002, have increased $21.1 million
since June 30, 2001, and $10.6 million since year-end 2001. The
increases were primarily in the commercial and real estate
categories. At June 30, 2002, real estate loans comprised $127.9
million ($82.2 million in residential) of total non-accruing
loans, with commercial loans accounting for $148.8 million and
consumer loans accounting for $3.7 million. Loans past due 90 days
or more increased $1.5 million compared to June 30, 2001, but
decreased $3.6 million since year-end 2001. Other real estate
increased $22.8 million since June 30, 2001, due to increased
foreclosures.
Activity in the allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows
(in thousands):
June 30, June 30,
2002 2001
Balance at beginning of period $419,167 $376,508
Net loans charged-off:
Commercial 27,328 30,438
Real estate 5,595 2,839
Installment 15,948 16,397
Total 48,871 49,674
Allowance of acquired banks 2,328 -0-
Provision charged to expense 60,000 57,490
Balance at end of period $432,624 $384,324
Net loan losses in the first six months of 2002 and 2001 were
0.32% of average loans (annualized). At June 30, 2002 the
allowance for loan losses stood at 1.39% of loans, compared to
1.24% at June 30, 2001, and 1.36% at year-end 2001. The allowance
for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans and
non-performing assets was 118% and 103%, respectively, at June 30,
2002, compared to 122% and 112%, respectively, at June 30, 2001
and 117% and 104%, respectively, at year end 2001.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed
adequate by management to absorb possible losses from loans in the
portfolio. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses, management considers numerous factors, including but not
limited to: (1) management's estimate of future economic
conditions and the resulting impact on Regions, (2) management's
estimate of the financial condition and liquidity of certain loan
customers, and (3) management's estimate of collateral values of
property securing certain loans. Because all of these factors and
others involve the use of management's estimation and judgment,
the allowance for loan losses is inherently subject to adjustment
at future dates. At June 30, 2002, it is management's opinion
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. However,
unfavorable changes in the factors used by management to determine
the adequacy of the allowance, including increased loan
delinquencies and subsequent charge-offs, or the availability of
new information, could require additional provisions, in excess of
normal provisions, to the allowance for loan losses in future
periods. No portion of the resulting allowance is in any way
allocated or restricted to any individual loan or group of loans.
The entire allowance is available to absorb losses from any and
all loans.
Regions' provision for loan losses is a reflection of actual
losses experienced during the year and management's judgment as to
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Some of the
factors considered by management in determining the amount of the
provision and resulting allowance include: (1) detailed reviews of
individually selected loans; (2) gross and net loan charge-offs in
the current year; (3) the current level of the allowance in
relation to total loans and to historical loss levels; (4) past
due and non-accruing loans; (5) collateral values of properties
securing loans; (6) the composition of the loan portfolio (types
of loans); and (7) management's analysis of economic conditions
and the resulting impact on Regions' loan portfolio.
On loans which are considered impaired, it is Regions' policy to
reverse interest previously accrued on the loan against interest
income. Interest on such loans is thereafter recorded on a "cash
basis" and is included in earnings only when full payment of
principal is no longer doubtful.
INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS
Total securities at June 30, 2002, have increased 11% since June
30, 2001, and 9% since year-end 2001. Security balances have
increased primarily through the purchase of Agency securities.
Mortgage loans held for sale decreased $154 million compared to
June 30, 2001, and have declined $443 million since year-end 2001.
Residential mortgage loan production at Regions' mortgage banking
subsidiary was approximately $1.7 billion during the first six
months of 2002 compared to $1.8 billion during the same time
period in 2001.
Margin receivables at June 30, 2002 totaled $536.2 million
compared to $550.7 million at June 30, 2001, and $523.9 at year-
end 2001. These balances represent Morgan Keegan's margin loans to
brokerage clients.
Interest-bearing deposits in other banks at June 30, 2002 totaled
$272 million compared to $907 million at June 30, 2001. This
decline is primarily attributable to lower balances held with the
Federal Home Loan Bank and other financial institutions.
Premises and equipment at June 30, 2002, have increased $22.8
million since June 30, 2001, but have declined $2.6 million since
year-end 2001. The increase compared to June 30, 2001, was due
primarily to construction of the new operations center and
investments in technology as well as premises and equipment
obtained through acquisitions. The decline since year-end 2001
was due to depreciation.
Other assets June 30, 2002, increased $223 million over year-end
2001 and $325 million over the second quarter of last year. Areas
of increase include low income housing investments, joint venture
investments, excess purchase price, prepaid expenses and other
real estate.
DEPOSITS
Total deposits at June 30, 2002, declined less than 1% since June
30, 2001. Since year-end 2001, total deposits have decreased 2%.
The decline resulted primarily from lower balances in certificates
of deposit, due to continued efforts to less aggressively price
these deposits. Non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing
checking, money market and savings accounts reflected strong
growth since last year, up $1.2 billion or 7%, but were offset by
a $2.4 billion decline in retail certificates of deposit.
Wholesale deposit balances increased since June 30, 2001, as rates
on these deposits were favorable to other funding sources.
BORROWINGS
Net federal funds purchased and security repurchase agreements
totaled $1.9 billion at June 30, 2002, $1.7 billion at year-end
and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2001. The level of federal funds and
security repurchase agreements can fluctuate significantly on a
day-to-day basis, depending on funding needs and which sources of
funds are used to satisfy those needs. During the first six
months of 2002 net funds purchased averaged $1.3 billion compared
to $1.8 billion for the same period of 2001, indicating decreased
reliance on overnight purchased funds as a funding source.
Other short-term borrowings and commercial paper decreased $12.7
million since June 30, 2001, but have increased $112 million since
year-end 2001. Long-term borrowings have increased $622 million
since year-end 2001 and $433 million since June 30, 2001. These
increases in long-term borrowings resulted primarily from the May
2002 issuance of $600 million of 6.375% fixed rate subordinated
notes due May 2012, partially offset by maturities of Federal Home
Loan Bank advances since June 30, 2001.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stockholders' equity was $3.9 billion at June 30, 2002, an
increase of 3% over June 30, 2001, and a decrease of 2% since year-
end 2001. During the first half of 2002, Regions repurchased 10.2
million shares in connection with acquisitions and its general
stock repurchase program. Accumulated other comprehensive income
totaled $123.5 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $58.4 million
at year-end 2001 and $66.5 million at June 30, 2001. Regions'
ratio of equity to total assets was 8.53% at June 30, 2002,
compared to 8.48% at June 30, 2001, and 8.89% at year-end 2001.
Regions and its subsidiaries are required to comply with capital
adequacy standards established by banking regulatory agencies.
Currently, there are two basic measures of capital adequacy: a
risk-based measure and a leverage measure.
The risk-based capital standards are designed to make regulatory
capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk
profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for
off-balance sheet exposure and interest rate risk, and to minimize
disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance
sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with
specified risk-weighting factors. The resulting capital ratios
represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets
and off-balance sheet items. Banking organizations that are
considered to have excessive interest rate risk exposure are
required to maintain higher levels of capital.
The minimum standard for the ratio of total capital to risk-
weighted assets is 8%. At least 50% of that capital level must
consist of common equity, undivided profits and non-cumulative
perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other
intangibles ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder ("Tier 2 capital")
may consist of a limited amount of other preferred stock,
mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and a limited
amount of the allowance for loan losses. The sum of Tier 1
capital and Tier 2 capital is "total risk-based capital."
The banking regulatory agencies also have adopted regulations
which supplement the risk-based guidelines to include a minimum
ratio of 3% of Tier 1 capital to average assets less goodwill (the
"leverage ratio"). Depending upon the risk profile of the
institution and other factors, the regulatory agencies may require
a leverage ratio of 1% to 2% above the minimum 3% level.
The following chart summarizes the applicable bank regulatory
capital requirements. Regions' capital ratios at June 30, 2002,
substantially exceeded all regulatory requirements.
Bank Regulatory Capital Requirements
Minimum Regions at
Regulatory June 30,
Requirement 2002
Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets 4.00% 8.55%
Total risk-based capital to
risk-adjusted assets 8.00 13.58
Tier 1 leverage ratio 3.00 6.81
LIQUIDITY
Regions' primary sources of liquidity are maturities from its loan
and securities portfolios. In addition to these sources of
liquidity, Regions has access to purchased funds in the state and
national money markets. Regions' management places constant
emphasis on the maintenances of adequate liquidity to meet
conditions that might reasonably be expected to occur.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the first six months of 2002 increased
$46.6 million or 7%, compared to the same period in 2001. The
increased net interest income resulted from higher levels of
earning assets combined with improved net interest margin due to
lower funding costs associated with repricing of many of Regions'
funding sources to lower rates. The net yield on interest-earning
assets (taxable equivalent basis) was 3.82% in the first six
months of 2002 and 3.63% during the same period in 2001. For the
second quarter of 2002, net interest income increased $23.9
million or 7% compared to the second quarter of 2001 due to lower
funding costs on Regions' funding sources.
MARKET RISK -- INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in
the fair value of financial instruments due to a change in
interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. One of Regions'
primary risks is interest rate risk.
The primary objective of Asset/Liability Management at Regions is
to manage interest rate risk and achieve reasonable stability in
net interest income throughout interest rate cycles. This is
achieved by maintaining the proper balance of rate sensitive
earning assets and rate sensitive liabilities. Off-balance sheet
hedges also provide Regions with a tool to reduce interest rate
sensitivity. The relationship of rate sensitive earning assets to
rate sensitive liabilities, adjusted for the effect of any off-
balance sheet hedges (interest rate sensitivity), is the principal
factor in projecting the effect that fluctuating interest rates
will have on future net interest income. Rate sensitive earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities are those that can be
repriced to current market rates within a relatively short time
period. Management monitors the rate sensitivity of earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities over the entire life of these
instruments, but places particular emphasis on the first year.
Regions has a relatively large base of core deposits that do not
reprice on a contractual basis. These deposit products include
regular savings, interest-bearing transaction accounts and a
portion of money market savings accounts. The rates paid are
typically not directly related to market interest rates, since
management exercises some discretion in adjusting these rates as
market rates change.
In addition, Regions' loan and securities portfolios contain fixed-
rate mortgage-related products, including whole loans, mortgage-
backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations having
amortization and cash flow characteristics that vary with the
level of market interest rates. These earning assets are generally
reported in the non-sensitive category. In fact, a portion of
these earning assets may pay-off within one year or less because
their cash flow characteristics are materially impacted by
mortgage refinancing activity.
Regions uses various tools to monitor and manage interest rate
sensitivity. One of the primary tools used is simulation analysis.
Simulation analysis is the primary method of estimating earnings
at risk under varying interest rate conditions. Simulation
analysis is used to test the sensitivity of Regions' net interest
income to both the level of interest rates and the slope of the
yield curve. Simulation analysis uses a detailed schedule with the
contractual repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities and adds adjustments for the
expected timing and magnitude of asset and liability cash flows,
as well as the expected timing and magnitude of repricings of
deposits that do not reprice on a contractual basis. In addition,
simulation analysis includes adjustments for the lag between
movements in market interest rates and the movement of
administered rates on prime rate loans, interest-bearing
transaction accounts, regular savings and money market savings
accounts. These adjustments are made to reflect more accurately
possible future cash flows, repricing behavior and ultimately net
interest income.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following section contains certain forward-looking statements
(as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995). These forward-looking statements may involve significant
risk and uncertainties. Although Regions believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the results
discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Management estimates the effect shifts in interest rates may have
upon Regions' net interest income. The following table
demonstrates the expected effect a parallel gradual (over a 12
month period) interest rate shift would have on net interest
income as of June 30, 2002.
Change in $ Change in Net
Interest Rates Interest Income % Change in Net
(in basis points) (in thousands) Interest Income
+200 $ 31,000 2.05%
+100 18,000 1.19
-100 (24,000) (1.61)
-200 (52,000) (3.46)
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses was $60.0 million or .39% annualized
of average loans in the first six months of 2002, compared to
$57.5 million or .37% annualized of average loans in the first six
months of 2001. For the second quarter of 2002, the provision for
loan losses was $30.0 million or .39% annualized of average loans
compared to $29.0 million or .38% annualized of average loans in
the second quarter of 2001. The provision for loan losses recorded
in the first six months and second quarter of 2002 was based on
management's assessment of inherent losses associated with the
loan portfolio and management's evaluation of current and future
economic conditions.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income for the first six months of 2002
increased $146.0 million or 34% compared to the first six months
of 2001. This increase is due primarily to the acquisition of
Morgan Keegan. The second quarter of 2001 was the first period
which Morgan Keegan's operations were reflected in Regions' income
statement. On a quarterly basis, total non-interest income for the
second quarter of 2002 increased $14.8 million or 5% over the
second quarter of 2001. Brokerage and investment banking income
reflected an increase of $108.2 million in the first half of 2002
compared to last year due to the addition of Morgan Keegan
discussed above. On a quarterly basis, brokerage income increased
$5.6 million or 5% over the second quarter of 2001. Trust
department income increased slightly in both the first six months
and second quarter of 2002 compared to the comparable periods for
2001. An increase in the number of deposit accounts due to
acquisitions as well as a modification of the structure of certain
deposit accounts resulted in service charges on deposit accounts
increasing $4.8 million or 4% in the first half of 2002 and $2.0
million or 3% in the second quarter of 2002, compared to the same
periods in 2001. Mortgage servicing and origination fees increased
5% in the first six months of 2002 but decreased 5% in the second
quarter, compared to 2001, primarily due to fewer number of loans
being serviced and lower levels of new loan production in the
second quarter of 2002. Single family mortgage production was $700
million in the second quarter of 2002, compared to $1.1 billion in
the second quarter of 2001. The mortgage company's servicing
portfolio totaled $18.3 billion at June 30, 2002, compared to
$20.5 billion at June 30, 2001. Other non-interest income
increased $26.0 million in the first six months of 2002 and $5.7
million in the second quarter of 2002, compared to the same
periods in 2001 due primarily to higher insurance fees and higher
gains associated with sales of mortgage loans held for sale.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2002, Regions began reporting
net gains/losses related to the sale of mortgage loans held for
sale in the other non-interest income category. In prior periods,
these net gains/losses were reported in other non-interest
expense. The periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense increased $93.9 million or 13% in the
first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This
increase, primarily related to the acquisition of Morgan Keegan
discussed earlier, was partially offset by $23.3 million in merger
and other non-recurring charges in the second quarter of 2001.
Second quarter 2002 total non-interest expense decreased $15.1
million or 3% compared to 2001. This decrease was the result of
reduced amortization of excess purchase price resulting from the
adoption of FAS 142 and the merger and other non-recurring charges
in the second quarter of 2001, partially offset by increases in
other expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits were up $77.0 million or 19% in the
first half of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due to the
addition of Morgan Keegan and normal merit increases. As of June
30, 2002, Regions has 16,032 full time equivalent employees.
Net occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense
increased 13% in the first six months of 2002 and 5% in the second
quarter of 2002 over the same periods in 2001. These increases are
primarily the result of higher levels of depreciation related to
new branch equipment and assets acquired in connection with
acquisitions.
Other non-interest expense increased $6.3 million or 3% in the
first half of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Second
quarter 2002 other non-interest expense decreased $16.3 million or
12% compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease is
primarily attributed to the reduced amortization of excess
purchase price resulting from the adoption of FAS 142 and the
merger and other non-recurring charges in the second quarter of
2001, partially offset by increases in other expenses.
TAXES
Income tax expense increased $24.6 million or 25% over the first
six months of 2001. For the second quarter of 2002, income tax
expense increased $12.6 million or 26% compared to 2001. These
increases during the first six months and the second quarter of
2002 compared to 2001 resulted from higher levels of taxable
income. Regions effective tax rates for the first six months of
2002 and 2001 were 28.7% and 29.6%, respectively.
NET INCOME
Net income for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $153.1 million or
$.67 per diluted share, a 37% increase (on a per share diluted
basis) compared to the second quarter of 2001. Net income for the
first six months of 2002 totaled $307.2 million or $1.33 per
diluted share, a 27% increase (on a per share diluted basis)
compared to the first six months of 2001. Operating income, which
excludes merger and other non-recurring charges of $17.8 million
after tax in 2001, increased 18% on a per share diluted basis from
the first six months of 2001. Net income and operating income, as
adjusted for the adoption of FAS 142 increased 17% and 9%,
respectively, (on a per share diluted basis) over the first six
months of 2001. Annualized return on stockholders' equity during
the first half of 2002 was 15.30% based on net income and operating
income. In the first half of 2001, annualized return on
stockholders' equity was 13.29% based on net income and 14.30%
based on operating income. Adjusted for the adoption of FAS 142,
annualized return on stockholders' equity during the first six
months of 2001 was 14.40% based on net income and 15.41% based on
operating income. Annualized return on assets during the first half
of 2002 was 1.38% based on net income and operating income. In
comparison, annualized return on assets during the first half of
2001 was 1.07% based on net income and 1.15% based on operating
income. Adjusted for the adoption of FAS 142, annualized return on
assets during the first six months of 2001 was 1.16% based on net
