              COLONIAL BANCGROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES YEAR END RESULTS

MONTGOMERY---Colonial BancGroup, Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Robert E. Lowder announced today 1998 net income of $55 million or $0.49 per
share, which includes acquisition and restructuring costs, Year 2000 expenses,
and write-downs of its mortgage servicing portfolio totaling $63 million or
$0.36 per share after taxes. This represents a 39 percent decrease from 1997
net income and a 42 percent decrease in earnings per share. For the fourth
quarter 1998, the Company recognized a net loss of $4 million or $0.04 per
share, which includes previously announced acquisition and restructuring costs,
Year 2000 expenses, and write-downs of its mortgage servicing portfolio
totaling $22.5 million or $0.13 per share after taxes.

         The previously reported results for year-end 1997 have been restated
to include the results of various bank acquisitions completed in 1998 that were
accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of business combinations.

         "1998 was an important year for Colonial BancGroup. We began 1998 with
$6.9 billion in total assets and ended the year with over $10.4 billion in
assets and banking operations in six states," reported Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer Robert E. Lowder. Mr. Lowder further reported that
internal loan growth was extremely strong in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Colonial achieved internal loan growth of $349 million, an annualized rate of
21%, during the fourth quarter and $931 million or 15% for the year.

</TABLE>

         As previously announced on December 18, 1998, Colonial recorded a
pretax impairment charge of $30 million, writing down the value of mortgage
servicing rights of its subsidiary, Colonial Mortgage Company. Based upon
additional information that Colonial obtained from third party valuation
consultants during December 1998 and January 1999 and management's analysis of
that information, management has determined that $18.5 million of the
impairment charge is most appropriately reflected in the third quarter of 1998.
Therefore, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, Colonial has
restated earnings for the third quarter of 1998 to include the charge.
 
        The write-down associated with mortgage servicing rights was caused
primarily by anticipated prepayments of mortgages in the servicing portfolio
being greater than previously expected. The write-down increased the valuation
allowance against loss occasioned by future prepayments to $38.3 million at
December 31, 1998.

         During 1998, the Company began to hedge its servicing portfolio
against risk associated with future decreases in interest rates. This program
has now been aggressively augmented, and includes a system of daily monitoring
of servicing assets, supported by the expertise of a third party advisor that
specializes in analyzing mortgage servicing rights and hedging activities. The
use of the third party advisor should improve management's monitoring of
servicing rights and will assist the Company in its use of hedging products. As
of December 31, 1998, approximately 50% of the mortgage servicing portfolio had
been hedged.

         Over the past three years, Colonial completed twenty-five acquisitions
establishing operations in Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Texas. During the
fourth quarter of 1998, management made the


                                      -2-
<PAGE>   4


decision to shift the Company's focus from bank acquisition activity to
streamlining operations and emphasizing profitable business units. In
connection with this strategic decision, the Company has developed a plan to:

- -    close certain unprofitable branches

- -    sell certain super-market branches

- -    relocate and upgrade other branches

- -    move the headquarters of the South Florida region to downtown Miami and to
     consolidate the trust department into the South Florida headquarters to
     better serve its customer base


These previously announced decisions resulted in restructuring charges of
approximately $7.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1998.

         As previously announced during the fourth quarter of 1998, Colonial
increased its allowance for loan losses by recognition of a provision which
exceeded previous quarterly amounts by approximately $10 million. The
additional provision was the result of the Company's significant loan growth of
over $349 million during the fourth quarter and increased charge-offs during
the fourth quarter.

         Colonial's asset quality remained strong at year end, with a
non-performing asset ratio of 0.60% at December 31, 1998 compared to 0.74% at
December 31, 1997. The net charge-off ratio for the year was 0.26% of average
net loans compared to 0.23% for 1997. The Company's loan loss reserve ratio was
1.18% at December 31, 1998 compared to 1.21% at December 31, 1997. The reserve
coverage of nonperforming loans was 245% at December 31, 1998 compared to 247%
at December 31, 1997. Colonial's historical loan loss experience has been
favorable compared to the average of other FDIC insured institutions.

         Loans increased 19% from $6.0 billion at December 31, 1997 to $7.1
billion at December 31, 1998 causing a corresponding 15% increase in net
interest income for the year. Internal loan growth for the year was 15%. Net
interest margins compressed during the fourth quarter of the year due to the
reduction in interest rates by the Federal Reserve during the same period.

         Noninterest income was $125 million for the year ended December 31,
1998 compared to $101 million in 1997, a 24% increase. The Company created or
augmented the following operations during 1998 to expand its sources of
noninterest income:


                                      -3-
<PAGE>   5


- -   Established an international banking department which became fully
    operational in July 1998. The department engages in confirming letters of
    credit with top-tier banks in Latin America and direct disbursements to
    those banks from U.S. customers. Colonial does not engage in capital market
    speculation.

- -   Established a private banking function and augmented an investment sales
    force within its regional bank structure to emphasize relationship banking
    and to generate income from sales of securities and annuities.

- -   Established Colonial Asset Management, Inc. (CAM), an asset management
    group, under the former head of Barnett Bank's asset management group, Jack
    Ablin. CAM now has over $170 million in assets under management and is
    projected to have over $300 million in assets under management by the end
    of 1999.


         Noninterest expenses for the year totaled $355 million compared to
$242 million for 1997, a 47 percent increase. Noninterest expenses for 1998
include acquisition and restructuring costs totaling $21.5 million, Year 2000
expenses of $4.6 million, and $36.5 million in write-downs of mortgage
servicing rights. Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 1998 include
acquisition and restructuring costs totaling $9.8 million, Year 2000 expenses
of $1.2 million and $11.5 million in write-downs of mortgage servicing rights.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company incurred $6.5 million in
acquisition and restructuring costs and $0.4 million in Year 2000 expenses.

         As previously announced, the Company has encountered delays in
realizing cost savings expected from converting certain Florida acquisitions to
Colonial's data processing system because its prior item processor, Barnett
Banks, was unable to complete the Company's conversion schedule after Barnett's
acquisition by NationsBank. As a result, the Company expects to complete an
item processing facility in Florida during the second quarter of 1999 which
will eliminate those delays. Cost savings from those conversions are expected
to exceed $4 million annually.

         Mr. Lowder said, "1998 has been a year of tremendous growth and change
for the Company. This growth and these changes have created a newly refined
focus on achieving greater efficiencies from our consolidated operations. As we
begin the new year, we believe that Colonial is well positioned within its
markets. We are especially pleased with our positioning in high growth markets


                                      -4-

in a number of the states which make up Colonial's franchise. This positioning
has resulted from a deliberate strategy to access these markets, and we are
excited about our growth and earnings potential for 1999."

         This document contains certain forward-looking statements relating to
present or future trends or factors affecting the banking industry and
specifically the operations, markets and products of the Company. Actual
results could differ materially from those projected and may be affected by
changing events and trends that have influenced the Company's assumptions, but
that are beyond the control of the Company. These trends and events include
changes in the interest rate environment, effects of the Company's mortgage
servicing rights hedging program, expected cost savings from proposed
conversions and item processing functions, anticipated growth in the Company's
newly established or augmented sources of noninterest income, changes in the
domestic and foreign business environments and securities markets and changes
in the regulatory authorities and policies affecting the Company. Additional
information on other factors that could affect the financial results of the
Company is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
