CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This communication contains certain forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, certain plans, expectations, goals,
projections, and statements, which are not historical facts and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Statements
that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as expect, anticipate, believe, intend, estimate, plan, target, goal, or similar
expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as will, may, might, should, would, could, or similar variations. The forward-looking
statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, below are certain factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements: changes in general economic, political,
or industry conditions; uncertainty in U.S. fiscal and monetary policy, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and
services; success, impact, and timing of our business strategies, including market acceptance of any new products or services
implementing our “Fair Play” banking philosophy; the nature, extent, timing, and results of governmental actions, examinations, reviews,
reforms, regulations, and interpretations, including those related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and
the Basel III regulatory capital reforms, as well as those involving the OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and CFPB; the possibility that the
anticipated benefits of the merger with FirstMerit Corporation are not realized completely or when expected, including as a result of the
impact of, or problems arising from, the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where we do business; and other
factors that may affect our future results. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be
found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters
ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017, which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) and available in the “Investor Relations” section of our website, http://www.huntington.com, under the heading “Publications and
Filings” and in other documents we file with the SEC.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. We do not
assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-
looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As
forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such
statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be
helpful in understanding Huntington’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are
used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can
be found in this document, the earnings press release, or the Form 8-K related to this document, all of which can be found
on Huntington’s website at www.huntington-ir.com.
Annualized Data
Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for
analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or
year-over-year amounts. For example, loan and deposit growth rates, as well as net charge-off percentages, are most often
expressed in terms of an annual rate like 8%. As such, a 2% growth rate for a quarter would represent an annualized 8%
growth rate.
Fully-Taxable Equivalent Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Income from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this
income had been taxable at statutory rates. This adjustment puts all earning assets, most notably tax-exempt municipal
securities and certain lease assets, on a common basis that facilitates comparison of results to results of competitors.
Earnings per Share Equivalent Data
Significant income or expense items may be expressed on a per common share basis. This is done for analytical and
decision-making purposes to better discern underlying trends in total corporate earnings per share performance excluding
the impact of such items. Investors may also find this information helpful in their evaluation of the company’s financial
performance against published earnings per share mean estimate amounts, which typically exclude the impact of Significant
Items. Earnings per share equivalents are usually calculated by applying an effective tax rate to a pre-tax amount to derive
an after-tax amount, which is divided by the average shares outstanding during the respective reporting period. Occasionally,
when the item involves special tax treatment, the after-tax amount is disclosed separately, with this then being the amount
used to calculate the earnings per share equivalent.
Rounding
Please note that columns of data in this document may not add due to rounding.

Do we
consolidate
this and
next slide?
Significant Items
From time to time, revenue, expenses, or taxes are impacted by items judged by Management to be outside of ordinary
banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually
large that their outsized impact is believed by Management at that time to be infrequent or short term in nature. We refer
to such items as “Significant Items”. Most often, these Significant Items result from factors originating outside the
company – e.g., regulatory actions/assessments, windfall gains, changes in accounting principles, one-time tax
assessments/refunds, litigation actions, etc. In other cases they may result from Management decisions associated with
significant corporate actions out of the ordinary course of business – e.g., merger/restructuring charges, recapitalization
actions, goodwill impairment, etc.
Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in
market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not define a Significant Item. For
example, changes in the provision for credit losses, gains/losses from investment activities, asset valuation write-downs,
etc., reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as a Significant Item.
Management believes the disclosure of “Significant Items”, when appropriate, aids analysts/investors in better
understanding corporate performance and trends so that they can ascertain which of such items, if any, they may wish
to include/exclude from their analysis of the company’s performance - i.e., within the context of determining how that
performance differed from their expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust their estimates of future performance
accordingly. To this end, Management has adopted a practice of listing “Significant Items” in its external disclosure
documents (e.g., earnings press releases, quarterly performance discussions, investor presentations, Forms 10-Q and
10-K).
“Significant Items” for any particular period are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact
current or future period performance. A number of items could materially impact these periods, including those
described in Huntington’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other factors described from time to time in
Huntington’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
