CENTURA BANKS INC. REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. - - Centura Banks Inc. (NYSE:CBC) announced today
record net income of $21.7 million for the third quarter of 1997. Third quarter
net income was 14.5 percent greater than the third quarter of 1996, adjusted for
the one-time Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) assessment in September
1996. (Net income in the third quarter increased 47.5 percent over third quarter
1996 including the effect of the SAIF assessment.) Fully diluted earnings per
share increased to $0.82 in the third quarter of 1997 from a SAIF-adjusted $0.73
in the comparable quarter of 1996 ($0.57 including the SAIF assessment).
For the first nine months of 1997, net income was $59.6 million or 10.6
percent greater than the SAIF-adjusted net income of $53.9 million ($49.6
million after SAIF) during the first nine months of 1996.
Return on average equity increased 58 basis points from the second
quarter of 1997 to 16.6 percent, and return on average assets was 1.28 percent,
up 4 basis points from the previous quarter. The efficiency ratio continued to
improve, declining 85 basis points from the second quarter of 1997 to 6l.5
percent, and the ratio of net charge-offs to average total loans remained
constant at 26 basis points in the second and third quarters.
"The third quarter results highlight Centura's continuing commitment to
improving both the composition and quantity of net income," commented
Cecil W. Sewell, Centura's chairman and chief executive officer. "Our success
in the third quarter

of integrating thirteen banking offices from BBT/UCB while controlling operating
expenses and increasing non-interest income from a variety of sources is the
best indication that we are `on track' in the implementation of our strategy."
In August Centura finalized its acquisition of thirteen offices from

million in deposits held by the First Union banking office in Bakersville and
announced plans to merge a local insurance agency, Betts & Company, with Centura
Insurance Services Inc.
