Industry Analysis: Commercial Banking Commercial banking is a highly fragmented industry consisting of nearly nearly 9,000 commercial banks and savings institutions insured by the FDIC Commercial banks profit by capturing the margin between interest paid to depositors and higher rates charged to borrowers and charging fees for their services. New legislation to strengthen financial industry regulation has been put in place to protect consumers from banks. Additional reforms designed to protect the industry from institutions from taking on excess leverage are being put in place to reduce risk and regulate derivative financial products. The recovering economy and the new financial reforms serve to return confidence to the commercial banking group.

Products Offered • Retail clients: bankcard lending, consumer finance, home mortgage lending, insurance, brokerage services, small business lending, and private banking services • Commercial Clients: asset management, capital markets services, commercial finance, institutional trust services, insurance, international banking services, leasing, and venture capital services
Strengths • High quality banking: As a high quality bank, we expect BBT to remain an acquirer as the industry consolidates. • Favorable shift in deposit and loan composition: BB&T has been able to successfully shift the deposit and loan compositions toward more profitable and less risky compositions. • Position: BB&T has a strong market and capital position and is well positioned for acquisitions.
Weaknesses • Subprime loans/Bad mortgages: Bad mortgage problems connected to credit markets will cause continued pain for lenders and subprime loan help from banks significantly hurt profits. • Challenging growth target: BB&T will be challenged to achieve its loan, deposit, and noninterest income growth target. Covered loans declined by nearly 23% during 2010
Opportunities • Strong loan growth: 2011 should benefit from strong loan growth, especially commercial and industrial loans. Prime residential mortgages were the fastest growing loans with a 10% quarter on quarter. In addition, auto loans, credit cards and deposits grew solidly. • High purchase accounting accretion: Net interest margin should benefit from high purchase accounting accretion. • Cross selling products and services
Opportunities (2) • Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced that the US unemployment rate dropped to 9% in January from 9.4% in December • Improving employment numbers will hopefully, in time, lead to a boost in loan growth across the banking sector
Threats • Housing crisis: The housing crisis will lower BB&T’s assets and equity, and makes it harder to do business in the market. Lower equity lowers the amount of money that can be loaned and consecutively limits the ability of the company to generate additional income from loans. A major source of past revenue and profits will decrease and lead to a decrease in future cash flow and stock value. • Credit card crisis: Adverse impact of the likely credit card crisis in the United States.
Financial Drivers for 2011(managements’ view) • Loans: Management expects faster pace of growth in non-real estate loan portfolios with continued declines in commercial real estate (overall growth of 3-5% in loans held for investment) • Deposits: up 1-3% in total, with double digit growth in transaction account deposits • Net charge-offs: Trending down throughout 2011, through 1.5% late in year
Overall Loan Growth Source: Company Filings
Net Interest Margin • NIM: examines how successful a firm's investmentdecisions are compared to its debt situations • Difference between interest bank gives to lenders and interest income the bank makes of investing the $
