BB&T reports record earnings for 2000; 4th quarter earnings per share up 18.4%

        WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) reported today record results for 2000, the company's 19th consecutive year of record recurring earnings.

        Net income for the fourth quarter of 2000 totaled $232.6 million, excluding after-tax merger-related charges of $7.1 million, an increase of 17.2% compared to $198.4 million earned on a recurring basis in 1999. Results for the current quarter produced recurring diluted earnings per share of $.58, compared to $.49 in the fourth quarter of 1999, an increase of 18.4%. Excluding nonrecurring charges, BB&T's annualized return on average assets for the fourth quarter of 2000 was 1.63%, and the annualized return on average shareholders' equity for the quarter was 20.78%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.50% and 19.19%, respectively.

        Net income for the year ended Dec. 31, 2000, totaled $875.1 million, or $2.17 per diluted share, before nonrecurring merger-related charges and losses resulting from a restructuring of the securities portfolio. The merger-related charges totaled $105.3 million after related tax benefits, and the securities losses, which were taken in the second and third quarters of 2000, totaled $143.3 million after taxes. Excluding these nonrecurring items, net income for 2000 increased 14.0% compared to recurring results in 1999 and diluted earnings per share increased 13.6%. BB&T's 2000 full-year results, excluding nonrecurring charges, represented a return on average assets of 1.59% and a return on average shareholders' equity of 20.33%, compared to 1999 ratios of 1.51% and 18.97%, respectively.

        "I am delighted to report record earnings for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2000," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John A. Allison. "The past year presented many challenges for financial services companies due to higher interest rates and the resulting slowing of the U.S. economy. I am pleased that we accomplished substantially all of our financial objectives despite the difficult business environment. In particular, our asset quality has remained excellent. Based on the published results of our local and national peers, BB&T is among the nation's best-performing financial institutions. We are also encouraged that our stock price increased 36.3% during 2000, significantly outpacing our peers. This stock price growth continues an excellent long-term trend, as the compound annual total return to our shareholders over the last ten years has been 26.0%."

        BB&T's recurring cash basis earnings totaled $247.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2000, or $.62 per diluted share, increases of 16.2% and 17.0%, respectively, compared to prior year results. For the year, recurring cash basis earnings totaled $935.1 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, increases of 14.0% and 13.2%, respectively, over 1999 results. Cash basis earnings for 2000 generated a return on average tangible assets of 1.72% and a return on average tangible equity of 25.87%.

        Including nonrecurring items, net income for 2000 totaled $626.4 million, a decrease of 11.2% compared to $705.6 million earned in 1999. On a diluted per share basis, net income for 2000 was $1.55, a decrease of 11.4% compared to $1.75 earned in 1999. For the fourth quarter, net income, including nonrecurring charges, totaled $225.5 million, or $.56 per diluted share, compared to $166.8 million, or $.41 per diluted share earned in the fourth quarter last year, increases of 35.2% and 36.6%, respectively.

        BB&T continued to expand and enhance its franchise during 2000 through a number of bank and non-bank mergers and acquisitions. In January, BB&T completed a merger with Premier Bancshares, ($2 billion in assets) based in Atlanta, Ga. In June, BB&T completed mergers with Hardwick Holding Company, ($518 million in assets) of Dalton, Ga., and First Banking Company of Southeast Georgia, ($419 million in assets) based in Statesboro.

In December, BB&T completed the acquisition of BankFirst Corporation, ($849 million in assets) of Knoxville, Tenn., and announced plans to merge with Century South Banks, ($1.6 billion in assets) of Alpharetta, Ga.

        BB&T Insurance Services, the 11th largest retail insurance broker in the country, continued its expansion during the year through the purchase of five insurance agencies. BB&T also acquired Edgar M. Norris & Co., headquartered in Greenville, S.C., the largest independent broker / dealer based in South Carolina; and Laureate Capital Corp., a commercial mortgage banking firm based in Charlotte, N.C., which is among the 25 largest commercial mortgage banking firms in the U.S.

        For the second time in three years, BB&T received recognition as the No. 1 "small business friendly" bank in the country according to a study released by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Additionally, BB&T was named a "Dividend Achiever" by Mergent FIS, a division of Moody's Investors Service. The 2000 fourth quarter dividend was $.23 per share, a 15% increase over the 1999 fourth quarter dividend of $.20.

NOTES:     All items referring to loans and leases include loans held for sale and are net of unearned income.
           (1) Balances reflect the securitization of $984.5 million of loans during 2000 and $304.8 million of loans during 1999. Excluding the impact of the securitizations and
                 purchase accounting transactions, YTD average loans would have increased as follows:
                               Commercial loans and leases  14.7%                    Mortgage loans                      7.1 %
                               Consumer loans               10.5                      Total loans                       11.9
                               Revolving credit loans       15.4
           (2) Excluding the effects of purchase accounting and the reduction in noninterest-bearing deposits resulting from outsourcing the issuance of official checks,
                 YTD average deposits would have increased as follows:
                               Noninterest-bearing deposits  4.3%                   Time and other deposits             7.8 %

           (1) Balances reflect the securitization of $984.5 million of loans during 2000 and $304.8 million of loans during 1999. Excluding the impact of the securitizations and
                 purchase accounting transactions, quarterly average loans would have increased as follows:

           (2) Excluding the effects of purchase accounting and the reduction in noninterest-bearing deposits resulting from outsourcing the issuance of official checks,
                 quarterly average deposits would have increased as follows:
                               Noninterest-bearing deposits  1.5%                   Time and other deposits            10.2 %
