Cash earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of $0.29 for the quarter and $0.85 year to date . Income from continuing operations was $30.756 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the quarter . Loan quality remains excellent with an annualized net-charge off ratio of 0.27% year-to-date and non-performing assets of 0.74% MONTGOMERY, AL --- The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. Chairman and CEO, Robert E. Lowder announced today that for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, cash earnings from continuing operations were $0.29 per diluted share compared to $0.27 in 2000, a 7% increase. Income from continuing operations was $30,756,000 or $0.28 per diluted share, an increase of 8% in income and 8% in earnings per share over the third quarter of 2000. "Considering the national crisis and difficult economic conditions, this has been an excellent quarter for Colonial. Operating income is in line with our expectations and 1 asset quality remains among the best in the industry," said Mr. Lowder. Over the course of 2001, as the economy has slowed, the Company has increased its emphasis on quality credits. This coupled with declining demand has resulted in some slow-down in loan growth within the Company's regional banks. Excluding single-family mortgage loans, regional loan growth was 6.2% on an annualized basis for the third quarter 2001. Single-family mortgage loans declined $133 million from the previous quarter resulting in an overall decrease of $34 million, or 1.4% annualized, in loans for the quarter. Net charge-offs for the third quarter were $9.2 million, or 0.38% annualized, of average loans. One borrower whose business has been affected by the slowing economy represents approximately 30% of the total charge-offs for the quarter. For the first nine months of 2001, annualized net charge-offs were relatively low at 0.27% of average loans. Total non-performing assets were $71.7 million at September 30, 2001 or 0.74% of loans and other real estate owned, increasing by 2.1% or $1.5 million from the second quarter. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.15% of loans and 190% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2001. The Company continues to maintain low levels of net charge-offs and non-performing assets comparing favorably to industry averages. "As in past recessionary times, Colonial has brought renewed focus both to asset quality measurements and expense control. With respect to asset quality, I am pleased that our conservative underwriting standards has strengthened our balance sheet in difficult times. And, I am equally pleased that our third quarter focus in reducing noninterest expense has resulted in a 5% savings over the second quarter," said Mr. Lowder. 2 In 2000, the Company exited the mortgage servicing business. The financial results for this line of business have been separately reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. As part of that process, during the quarter the Company revised its estimates of the cost to complete the disposition of this business resulting in a $613,000 after-tax expense in the quarter, resulting in net income per diluted share of $.27 for the quarter and $.80 year-to-date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, Three Months Ended Sept. 30, Earnings Summary % Change % Change (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) 2001 2000 00 to 01 2001 2000 00 to 01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income from continuing operations (net of income taxes) $89,289 $89,217 0% $30,756 $28,561 8% Income (Loss) from discontinued operations (net of income taxes) (613) (4,699) (613) Net income $88,676 $84,518 $30,143 $28,561 Earnings per share: Cash earnings from continuing operations (net of income taxes) (1) Basic $ 0.85 $ 0.84 1% $ 0.30 $ 0.27 11% Diluted $ 0.85 $ 0.83 2% $ 0.29 $ 0.27 7% Income from continuing operations (net of income taxes) Basic $ 0.81 $ 0.80 1% $ 0.28 $ 0.26 8% Diluted $ 0.80 $ 0.80 0% $ 0.28 $ 0.26 8% Net Income Basic $ 0.80 $ 0.76 5% $ 0.27 $ 0.26 4% Diluted $ 0.80 $ 0.76 5% $ 0.27 $ 0.26 4% (1) Cash earnings excludes amortization of intangibles.

subdivisions are reflected on a tax equivalent basis. Tax equivalent interest earned is : actual interest earned times 145%. The taxable equivalent adjustment has given effect to the disallowance of interest expense deductions, for federal income tax purposes, related to certain tax-free assets. Note: Above table of average volume and rates is reflected on Colonial BancGroup, Inc. consolidated basis. 8-K Supplemental Net Interest Margins -------------------- Net interest margins remained constant at 3.53% for the third quarter compared to 3.53% for the second quarter of 2001. As reflected in the chart below the Company is asset sensitive in the first month then liability sensitive through one year. Therefore, reductions in the Fed Funds rate and associated short term rates have a negative impact initially with the benefits from rate reductions in later months as liabilities catch up and reprice to lower levels.

These deposits may not reprice in these time buckets and may not reprice the full amount of any change in market rates. 1 Loan Growth ----------- Loan growth for the quarter consisted of the following: $ Growth (millions) Annualized % Mortgage Warehouse Lending $ (10) (5) Single-family real estate (133) (25) Regional bank lending 109 6 ----- ----- Total $ (34) (1) Single-family real estate represents primarily adjustable rate loans held in the bank's portfolio. Demand for this type of loan has declined as more borrowers are looking for fixed rate loans, which are sold in the secondary market. Mortgage warehouse lending consists of a self-contained lending unit that funds mortgage loans held for sale in the secondary market by various independent mortgage companies. Loan growth has slowed in the regional banks as most borrowers are conservatively reducing their demand for credit due to the slowing of the economy. Noninterest Expense ------------------- As a result of slowing loan demand, the company took initiatives in the third quarter to reduce noninterst expenses. Accordingly, total noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangibles and approximately $437,000 in merger related expenses has decreased by $3.4 million or 5% as compared to the second quarter of 2001. Acquisitions ------------ The previously announced acquisition of 13 branches from Union Planters was completed on October 11, 2001. This acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase with approximately $21 million in intangible assets to be recongnized in the transaction. The allocation of the intangibles between core deposits and goodwill is being evaluated. The previously announced merger of Colonial and Manufacturers Bank of Florida is expected to occur prior to the end of October. This transaction is expected to 2 be accounted for as a pooling of interests with prior periods restated to include results on a combined basis. This restatement is expected to dilute Colonial's previously reported earnings per share for the first three quarters of 2001 by $.01 to $.02 per share. These transactions are not expected to have a material impact on the cash or operating earnings of Colonial BancGroup for the fourth quarter of 2001. However, the Company does expect to record merger related expenses of approximately $2.0 million after tax during the quarter. Future Earnings Outlook ----------------------- The net impact of lower rates, slower loan demand and maintenance of strong loan loss reserves currently result in earnings per share expectations to not differ materially from $1.10 for 2001 with cash earnings of approximately $1.15. This estimate excludes the dilution of approximately $.01 to $.02 as a result of the restatement for the pooling of Manufacturers Bank and also excludes anticipated merger related expenses as noted above. As outlined previously, the Company's interest rate sensitivity position is expected to result in a negative impact to these earnings forecasts from any further Fed Funds rate reductions in the fourth quarter. This negative impact would be expected to be substantially offset with lower funding costs in 2002. Based on current information the Company does not expect net charge-off or nonperforming asset ratios to increase materially over the remainder of the year. 3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
