CENTURA BANKS INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS INCREASE


         ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. -- Centura Banks Inc. (NYSE:CBC) announced today that
net income  for the  second  quarter  of 1996  increased  13.9  percent to $16.5
million  compared  to $14.5  million  for the same  period  one year ago.  Fully
diluted  earnings  per share  increased  to 71 cents from 62 cents in the second
quarter of 1995.
         For the first six months of 1996, net income  increased 11.7 percent to
$32.4 million from $29 million in the first half of 1995. Fully diluted earnings
per share rose 9.4 percent to $1.39 from $1.27 during the same period last year.
         The  increase in  earnings  results  from  continued  strong  growth in
noninterest income, which increased 43.7 percent from the second quarter of 1995
to $19.8 million.  The most important factors contributing to noninterest income
growth were significant  increases in commissions earned by Centura's  brokerage
and insurance subsidiaries and income generated from mortgage activities.

         "We  are  pleased  with  the  progress  we are  making,  especially  in
securities and insurance sales," said Robert R. Mauldin,  Centura's chairman and
chief executive  officer.  "The  investments we have been making are paying off,
our asset  quality  remains very good and our net interest  margin is improving.
This  performance  confirms  we have been  making  the right  decisions  and are
continuing to improve in critical areas."
         For the quarter, return on assets was 1.19 percent and return on equity
was 16.43  percent.  Deposits  increased  11.5  percent to $4.2  billion.  Loans
increased 10.6 percent to $3.8 billion,  and net charge-offs were .09 percent of
average total loans.
         Centura's net interest margin showed improvement from the first quarter
of this year,  although it was still lower than the second  quarter of 1995. The
net interest margin for the second quarter of 1996 was 4.60 percent.
         With  assets of $5.6  billion,  Centura  provides  a  complete  line of
banking, investment,  insurance and trust services to individuals and businesses
throughout North Carolina.  It provides services through 155 financial  centers,
more than 200 ATMs at financial centers,  Wal-Mart and Sam's stores, its Centura
Highway  telephone  banking center and Quicken and Microsoft  Money, the leading
personal finance software  packages.  Centura recently announced it will open 33
