UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
STATEMENTS OF INCOME
HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INCORPORATED AND SKY FINANCIAL
GROUP, INC.
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 and year ended December 31, 2006, combine the historical
consolidated statements of income of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated and its subsidiaries
(Huntington) and Sky Financial Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Sky Financial), giving effect to
the merger as if the merger had become effective at January 1, 2006 as an acquisition by Huntington
of Sky Financial using the purchase method of accounting and giving effect to the related pro forma
adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are
presented for informational purposes only. This information includes various estimates and may not
necessarily be indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the merger had
been consummated on that date or at the beginning of the period indicated or which may be attained
in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income and
accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the historical financial statements and related notes thereto of Huntington and its
subsidiaries and Sky Financial and its subsidiaries, such information and notes thereto
incorporated by reference herein.
The historical consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
year ended December 31, 2006, of Huntington and its subsidiaries and Sky Financial and its
subsidiaries include a number of items that impacted the respective results for each company,
including:
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007:
|
|
|
Huntington reported increased non-interest expense items because of costs incurred as
part of the merger integration activities, most notably retention bonuses, outside
programming services related to systems conversions, occupancy expenses, and marketing
related to customer retention initiatives. These net merger costs were $40.7 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Huntington also reported net market related losses of $32.1 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. Net market related losses include the impact of mortgage
servicing rights and related hedging activity, gains and losses |
-1-
|
|
|
from equity investing, net
securities gains and losses, and the impact from the extinguishment of debt. |
|
|
|
In anticipation of the merger, Sky Financial sold certain investment securities during
the second quarter of 2007, resulting in a realized loss of $72.4 million. |
For the year ended December 31, 2006:
|
|
|
Huntington recorded an $84.5 million reduction to federal income tax provision. As a
result of the resolution of a federal income tax audit for the tax years 2002 and 2003,
Huntington released previously established tax reserves and recognized a federal tax loss
carryback. |
|
|
|
|
Huntington utilized the excess capital resulting from the reduction to the federal
income tax provision to restructure certain under-performing components of its balance
sheet. Managements actions included the review of $2.1 billion of securities for
potential sale, the refinancing of a portion of its FHLB funding, and the sale of certain
residential mortgage loans. Huntington recorded $73.3 million of securities losses, $4.4
million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt (recorded in other non-interest
expense) and $0.9 million of losses on the sale of mortgage loans (recorded in mortgage
banking income). |
|
|
|
|
Huntingtons merger with Unizan Financial Corp. (Unizan) was completed on March 1,
2006. At the time of the acquisition, Unizan had assets of $2.5 billion, including $1.6
billion of loans and core deposits of $1.5 billion. Unizan results were only in the
consolidated results for 10 months of 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Sky Financial restructured its balance sheet to strengthen its capital ratios, maintain
a sound interest rate risk position, and enhance the net interest margin following its
acquisitions of Union Federal Bank and Perpetual Savings Bank by selling approximately
$0.5 billion of securities and using the proceeds to pay down certain FHLB advances and
other borrowings. This balance sheet restructuring resulted in $19.4 million of
securities losses and $4.2 million of gains in other income in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
|
|
|
|
On October 17, 2006, Sky Financial completed its acquisition of Union Federal Bank of
Indianapolis (Union Federal) and its parent company, Waterfield Mortgage Company, Inc.,
Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Sky Financial purchased Waterfields retail and commercial banking
business conducted primarily through Union Federal Bank, which added approximately $2.3
billion in assets. Union Federal results were only included in the 2006 consolidated results
for 2.5 months. |
-2-
We anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that
include reduced operating expenses. The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the
financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect
the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly,
does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what
the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined
during these periods.

HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INCORPORATED AND SKY FINANCIAL
GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and Year Ended December 31,
2006
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The merger was accounted for as an acquisition by Huntington of Sky Financial using the purchase
method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Sky Financial were recorded at
their respective fair values on the date the merger was completed. The merger was effected by the
issuance of Huntington $0.01 par value common stock to Sky Financial shareholders. Each share of
Sky Financial common stock was exchanged for 1.098 shares of Huntington common stock plus cash
consideration of $3.023. The shares of Huntington common stock issued to effect the merger were
recorded at $23.85 per share. This amount was determined by averaging the closing price of shares
of Huntington common stock over a five-day period beginning two days before the date the merger was
announced and ending two days after the date the merger was announced. The pro forma adjustments
included herein are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional
analyses are performed.
The pro forma financial information for the merger is included only for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007 and year ended December 31, 2006. The combined pro forma income statement for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2007, includes Huntingtons historical results of operations for
all nine months, and Sky Financial results of operations subsequent to the merger date, July 1,
2007.
The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of income or the
combined financial position that would have resulted had the merger been completed at the beginning
of the applicable period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations
in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the income statement of Sky Financial to conform to
Huntingtons presentation.
Note 2. Pro Forma Statement of Income
The pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and year ended December 31, 2006, include adjustments for the accretion /
amortization of fair value adjustments made to loans, securities, interest-bearing deposits and
long-term borrowings. They also include an
-6-
adjustment for the amortization of the estimated identifiable intangible assets. The amortization
or accretion of the purchase accounting adjustments made to securities, loans, interest-bearing
deposits, and long-term borrowings is based on the weighted average maturities, using the interest
method for recognition. The amortization of identifiable intangible assets was estimated using a
10 to 16 year, sum-of-the-years digits method. Using this method, amortization is expected to be
$92.7 million in the first year, $78.1 million in the second year, $54.0 million in the third year,
$42.3 million in the fourth year, $33.0 million in the fifth year, and $74.2 million
thereafter. The adjustment for pro forma amortization expense for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007, includes $39.1 million of new amortization expense less Sky Financials
historical amortization expense of $9.0 million. The adjustment for pro forma amortization expense
for the year ended December 31, 2006, includes $92.7 million of new amortization expense less Sky
Financials historical amortization expense of $15.8 million.

The estimated restructuring and merger-related expenses discussed in Note 3 are not included in the
pro forma statement of income since they will be recorded in the combined results of income as they
are incurred after completion of the merger and are not indicative of what the historical results
of the combined company would have been had the companies been actually combined during the periods
presented.
Additionally, Huntington currently estimates that it will realize approximately $115 million in
annual cost savings following the merger, which Huntington expects to be phased in subsequent to the merger,
but there is no assurance that the anticipated cost savings will be realized on the
anticipated time schedule or at all. These cost savings are not fully reflected in the pro forma
financial information.
The impact of conforming Sky Financials accounting policy to reflect the adoption of FASB
Statement No. 156 has not been included in the pro forma financial results as the impact on the
income statement is not material.
Huntington issued $250 million in new debt in connection with the merger. This new debt qualifies
as bank regulatory capital and has an interest rate of 6.65%, resulting in an increase to annual
interest expense of $16.6 million.

Note 3. Merger Costs
In connection with the merger, Huntington and Sky Financial have developed their plans to
consolidate the operations of Huntington and Sky Financial. Huntington and Sky Financial have
assessed the two companies personnel, benefit plans, premises, equipment, computer systems and
service contracts and determined where we may take advantage of redundancies or where it may be
beneficial or necessary to convert to one system.
Certain decisions arising from these assessments involved, among other things, involuntary
termination of Sky Financials employees, vacating Sky Financials leased premises, terminating
contracts between Sky Financial and certain service providers and selling or otherwise disposing of
certain premises, furniture and equipment owned by Sky Financial. The costs associated with such
decisions will be recorded as purchase accounting adjustments, which have the effect of increasing
the amount of the purchase price allocable to excess purchase price. It is expected that all such
costs will be identified and recorded within one year of completion of the merger and all such
actions required to effect these decisions would be taken within one year after finalization of
these plans.
In addition to decisions regarding Sky Financials employees and activities, certain decisions were
made to, among other things, involuntarily terminate Huntington employees, vacate Huntington leased
premises, cancel contracts and sell or otherwise dispose of certain premises, furniture and
equipment owned by Huntington. These exit and disposal costs have been recorded in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
or Disposal Activities, in the results of income of the combined company in the period incurred.
Huntington has also incurred merger-related expenses in the process of combining the operations of
the two companies. These merger-related expenses include system conversion costs, employee
retention arrangements and costs of incremental communications to customers and others.
It is expected that the exit and disposal costs, along with the merger-related costs, will be
incurred over a two-year period after completion of the merger. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007, these merger related costs total $40.7 million. It is anticipated that the
total merger costs for Huntington will approximate $55 million to $65 million. Other merger costs were
recorded by Sky Financial or were recorded as purchase accounting adjustments. We have not included an estimate
for these in the pro forma statement of income since these costs will be recorded in the combined
results of income as they are incurred after completion of the merger and are not indicative of
what the historical results of Huntington would have been had Huntington and Sky Financial actually
been combined during the periods presented.
