FIRST UNION'S 2000 OPERATING EARNINGS/Page 2
--------------------------------------------

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - First Union (NYSE:FTU) today reported 2000 operating earnings
of $2.9 billion, or $2.97 per share, before merger-related charges and the
previously announced net restructuring and other charges amounting to $2.8
billion, or $2.85 per share, in conjunction with the company's strategic
repositioning. After the restructuring charges and net after-tax gains on the
sale of certain businesses related to the restructuring, full year 2000 earnings
were $138 million (12 cents per share) and $92 million (seven cents per share)
after recording an after-tax $46 million charge for the cumulative effect of a
change in the accounting for beneficial interests. This compares with $3.2
billion, or $3.33, in 1999, which included 20 cents per share from the sale of
businesses.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, operating earnings were $681 million, or 69 cents
per share, before $36 million in net merger-related, restructuring and other
charges. After these charges, fourth quarter 2000 earnings were $645 million (65
cents per share) and $599 million (60 cents per share) after the accounting
change. This compares with $842 million (86 cents per share) in the fourth
quarter of 1999.

Based on full year 2000 operating earnings, First Union's return on average
stockholders' equity (ROE) was 17.23 percent in 2000 compared with 21.60 percent
in 1999.

Diluted cash earnings before net merger-related, restructuring and other charges
and the accounting change were 76 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2000
and $3.30 per share in the full year of 2000, down 20 percent from the fourth
quarter of 1999 and 16 percent from the full year of 1999. On the same basis,
the cash return on average tangible stockholders' equity was 21.55 percent in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and 26.33 percent in the full year 2000. Cash
earnings are earnings before goodwill and other intangible amortization.

"We believe that 2000 was a defining year for First Union as we restructured and
reset our company's strategic path to prepare us well for the future. It was a
year of intensive work at all levels of First Union as we sharpened our focus
and streamlined the company for greater efficiency and increased
competitiveness," said Ken Thompson, First Union president and CEO. "We now have
a growing banking operation, an asset management powerhouse and a tightly
focused capital markets business - and our strengths are going to become even
more apparent as we move beyond the restructuring and transition years of 2000
and 2001. All of these actions, including the recent decision to reduce the
dividend to build capital ratios and to provide strategic flexibility, place us
in the best possible position to face a more challenging economic and
competitive environment. We will continue to fine-tune and make appropriate
capital allocation decisions going forward as we focus our resources more
strategically on our three core growth businesses."

First Union's new chief financial officer, Bob Kelly, who joined the company's
management team on November 13, 2000, commented, "First Union's financial
results for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2000 were in line with
expectations and give us a good basis for growth. Our underlying fundamentals
are good - period-end core deposits were up 2 percent and period-end loans were
up 9 percent from the fourth quarter of 1999, excluding divestitures. While
revenues were negatively affected by divestitures and difficult financial
markets, we had record performance in Capital Management fee and other income.
We began to see positive results in the fourth quarter of 2000 from our expense
control initiatives of the past year. In addition, the strong efforts of our
risk management team to monitor and actively manage the loan portfolio help us
limit the deterioration of credit quality in our portfolio even as the entire
industry experiences rising nonperforming assets and loan losses. In short, we
are enthusiastic that with the restructuring nearing completion, we should begin
to see renewed momentum by the end of 2001."

Net Interest Income
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $1.8 billion in the fourth
quarter of 2000, a decline of $214 million from the fourth quarter of 1999,
largely due to the impact of divestitures. In full year 2000, net interest
income on the same basis was $7.5 billion, flat with full year 1999. The net
interest margin was 3.46 percent in the fourth quarter of 2000 and 3.55 percent
in the full year of 2000, compared with 3.72 percent and 3.79 percent in the
same respective periods of 1999.

Fee and Other Income
On an operating basis, fee and other income in the fourth quarter of 2000 was
$1.6 billion, down 14 percent from the fourth quarter of 1999, excluding
securities transactions. In full year 2000, fee and other income was $6.8
billion, down 2 percent from full year 1999 largely due to lower principal
investing revenues. Despite the difficult financial markets, asset management
and brokerage businesses performed well. These results also reflect the impact
of the acquisition of EVEREN Capital Corporation, which was completed in the
fourth quarter of 1999. On an operating basis, fee and other income as a
percentage of total revenue, excluding securities transactions, was 48 percent
in 2000 and in 1999.

Noninterest Expense
On an operating basis, noninterest expense was $2.1 billion in the fourth
quarter of 2000, down 9 percent from the same quarter of 1999, reflecting solid
expense control, lower variable compensation and employee benefit expense. In
full year 2000, noninterest expense was $9.2 billion, an increase of 9 percent
from full year 1999. The full year increase primarily reflects the addition of
expenses related to EVEREN, which was included in all 12 months of 2000 and only
three months of 1999 after this purchase acquisition was closed on October 1,
1999.

Divestitures Update
In the fourth quarter of 2000, 58 branch locations were sold and 26 additional
branches are under contract for sale in the first quarter of 2001. In the third
quarter of 2000, the $35 billion residential mortgage servicing portfolio and
$5.7 billion credit card portfolio were sold. The sale of $13 billion of
securities was complete by mid-October.

Restructuring and Other Charges and Gains
The restructuring and other charges/gains in the fourth quarter amounted to a
pre-tax charge of $74 million ($36 million after-tax) or 4 cents per share. This
included charges of $431 million, which were offset by $357 million in gains on
branch sales mentioned above. Included in these charges are merger-related
charges primarily composed of $34 million in system conversion expenses related
to the EVEREN and other acquisitions, $212 million in noninterest expense,
mostly personnel expenses, $118 million in additional writedowns of the portion
of the large problem loan previously moved to assets held for sale as part of
the restructuring announced in June 2000 and $74 million in losses on sales of
the remaining $3 billion of the $13 billion of securities referenced above.

Net Charge-offs, Loan Loss Provision and Nonperforming Assets
Net charge-offs amounted to $192 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, an
increase of $50 million from the third quarter of 2000 and $23 million from the
fourth quarter of 1999. This represented 0.64 percent of average net loans, an
increase of 18 basis points from the third quarter of 2000 and 12 basis points
from the fourth quarter of 1999. In full year 2000, the charge-off ratio was
0.59 percent, in line with First Union's previous guidance. These numbers
include $93 million in charge-offs taken in the fourth quarter related to a
previously disclosed single large problem loan.

The loan loss provision was $192 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, a
decrease of $10 million from the third quarter of 2000 and an increase of $19
million from the fourth quarter a year ago. In 2000, the loan loss provision was
$1.1 billion, an increase of $387 million from 1999. The 2000 provision included
a $325 million incremental provision. At December 31, 2000, the allowance to net
loans increased to 1.39 percent from 1.32 percent at December 31, 1999.

At December 31, 2000, nonperforming assets were $1.6 billion, or 1.22 percent of
net loans, foreclosed properties and loans held for sale, an increase of $533
million from December 31, 1999. Excluding the single, large problem loan,
nonperforming assets increased $320 million. Fourth quarter 2000 nonperforming
assets included $334 million of nonperforming assets in the held for sale
category, down $15 million from the third quarter.

"Our experience in rising nonperforming assets is similar to the rest of the
industry at this point in the credit cycle, with a 24 percent increase since
September 30. The majority of this increase was related to a large commercial
credit to a single borrower. This syndicated credit is an anomaly compared with
the rest of the loan portfolio. The next largest nonperforming loan was $33
million," said Rob Nimmo, First Union's chief risk officer. "Excluding the
single large nonperforming loan, nonperforming assets - including those held for
sale - rose 8 percent from September 30, 2000. We continue to believe that 2001
will be a more challenging economic environment than the previous two years, and
for some time we have incorporated into our budgeting process our view that
nonperforming assets and loan losses will rise in 2001."

Selected Lines of Business
Capital Management encompasses brokerage and asset and wealth management
businesses. Despite turbulent markets, a diverse product set and multiple
distribution capabilities enabled Capital Management to generate $792 million in
fee and other income in the fourth quarter of 2000, an increase of 2 percent
from the fourth quarter of 1999. In full year 2000, Capital Management fee and
other income was a record $3.2 billion, up 39 percent from 1999. The increase
from 1999 reflects strong internal growth of 16 percent and also includes $564
million of revenue growth related to EVEREN. Revenue growth was propelled by
strong performances in brokerage, insurance and asset management fees.

         Assets under management rose to $171 billion at December 31, 2000, up
         $1.0 billion from December 31, 1999. This includes growth in mutual
         fund assets under management of 6 percent in 2000 to $85 billion,
         reflecting strong investment performance coupled with a diversified
         portfolio. This performance compares favorably against market indices,
         with the S&P 500 down 10 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average down
         6 percent and the NASDAQ composite down 39 percent in 2000.

         Evergreen Capital Growth Fund A was cited as a "category king" by The
         Wall Street Journal in the large cap value Lipper category, ranking
         among the top 10 funds in its peer group. The Evergreen Health Care
         Fund also was the top performing fund in its Lipper peer group at
         year-end 2000.

         Evergreen Funds recognized as a service leader in the mutual fund
         industry in 2000, ranking among the highest tier in highly regarded
         DALBAR customer service rankings.

         Nationwide network of 7,400 registered representatives at December 31,
         2000, which increased by more than 400 with the closing of the
         JWGenesis acquisition on January 1, 2001.

         The Capital Management Group conducted two major systems conversion in
         2000. Brokerage completed conversion to one common system in the fall
         of 2000, while systems upgrades in the 401(k) business enabled
         state-of-the-art record-keeping and Internet processing in this product
         area that helped fuel a 95 percent increase in asset sales from the
         fourth quarter of 1999.

         Wealth management business was restructured in 2000 to better meet
         client needs. Fee and other income related to Wealth and Trust Services
         increased 5 percent in 2000 from 1999.

Capital Markets, which encompasses investment banking and corporate banking
activities, streamlined and exited a number of businesses in 2000 that did not
fit strategic or growth needs. With its major buildup phase essentially
complete, the Capital Markets Group developed integrated strategies aimed at
serving middle market, growth companies. The impact of the restructuring and a
$243 million decline in principal investing gains led to a 30 percent decrease
in revenues to $608 million in the fourth quarter of 2000 from the fourth
quarter of 1999. Excluding principal investing gains, Capital Markets revenues
were down 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 1999. Only modest principal
investing gains are anticipated in 2001.

The General Bank, which encompasses First Union's commercial, small business and
consumer lending and deposit activities, experienced solid growth, with deposit
unit sales up 5 percent and Big 3 loans (direct consumer, prime equity lines and
small business lines/loans) up 7 percent from the fourth quarter of 1999. Branch
divestitures in the fourth quarter of 2000 included $2.1 billion in deposits and
$482 million in loans.

         Overall customer satisfaction scores as measured by Gallup improved
         for the seventh consecutive quarter.

         Customer retention continued to improve, remaining in the 96 to 97
         percent range throughout 2000.

         Focused strategies resulted in growth in both commercial and consumer
         loans, net of securitizations and transfers. Sales of consumer prime
         equity lines were up 20 percent from the fourth quarter of 1999.

         Core deposits, adjusted for divestitures, grew significantly from
         year-end 1999, reversing the negative growth trend experienced in 1999.

In First Union's e-commerce business, enrollments for Internet services grew by
approximately 100,000 a month in 2000, reaching 2.4 million enrollments at
December 31, 2000, including 59,000 online brokerage enrollments and 88,000
online wholesale enrollments.

         The nation's 3rd largest and fastest growing online banking channel for
         the past 2 years.

         service, second in online features and fourth overall in online
         services.
