ZIONS BANCORPORATION REPORTS EARNINGS OF $0.37
PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE FOR FIRST QUARTER 2015

SALT LAKE CITY, April 20, 2015 – Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ: ZION) (“Zions” or “the Company”) today reported first quarter net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $75.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, compared to $66.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2014.

First Quarter 2015 Highlights
Credit quality metrics remained in line with expectations. However, as expected, energy-related nonperforming and classified loans increased and are expected to increase further in a continued low energy price environment. The Company experienced $17 million in net recoveries on loans.

Total noninterest expenses improved to $397 million from $423 million in the prior quarter due in part to reduced costs from CCAR preparation.

Net interest income declined somewhat, due primarily to fewer days of income and lower yields on loans as a result of continued pricing pressure on loan production particularly for larger commercial loans.

The estimated Basel III common equity tier 1 capital ratio at March 31, 2015 was 11.81% on a 2015 phase-in basis, essentially unchanged from 11.82% at December 31, 2014.

“The first quarter results were generally in line with our expectations. We continued to strengthen reserves in light of continuing stress in the energy sector. We are nonetheless pleased to see the proactive and rapid steps many in that industry are taking to adjust to the current environment, including raising significant amounts of capital. We are encouraged by other credit trends and notably experienced recoveries net of charge-offs of $17 million during the quarter,” said Harris H. Simmons, chairman and chief executive officer.

Mr. Simmons continued, “Loan growth was subdued during the quarter; however, we continue to exercise caution with regard to underwriting standards and remain disciplined with respect to pricing. Finally, we are pleased to have announced an increase in the quarterly dividend on common stock to $0.06 per share from the previous $0.04 quarterly rate.”

Loans
Net loans and leases held for investment increased $116 million, or 0.3%, to $40.2 billion at March 31, 2015 from $40.1 billion at December 31, 2014. Increases included $101 million in commercial and industrial loans and $59 million in construction real estate loans. Commercial and industrial loan increases occurred primarily in Utah and Colorado.

Average loans and leases held for investment of $40.2 billion during the first quarter of 2015 increased $334 million, or 0.8%, from $39.8 billion during the fourth quarter. Unfunded lending commitments were $17.5 billion at March 31, 2015, compared to $17.6 billion at December 31, 2014.

Because many borrowers operate in multiple businesses, judgment has been applied in characterizing a borrower as energy-related, including a particular segment of energy-related activity, e.g., upstream or downstream. The September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 numbers in the preceding table have been adjusted to remove certain credits which, upon review, were determined not to be energy-related.

A number of the Company’s customers took significant steps to mitigate risk during the quarter, including pay-downs resulting from refinancing that was driven in part by stronger capital markets activities within the energy sector (including issuance of additional public and private equity and debt). The Company’s overall balance of oil and gas-related loans increased 2.7% to $3,157 million. Exploration and production balances increased approximately 2.6%, while energy services loan balances declined approximately 3.9% from the prior quarter. Unfunded energy-related commitments to lend declined by $280 million, or 10% during the quarter; a majority of this reduction occurred in non-reserve-based commitments.

At March 31, 2015, consistent with expectations, approximately $65 million, or 2.1%, of the oil and gas-related loan balances were nonaccruing, compared to $17 million, or 0.5%, at December 31, 2014. Approximately 93% of the March 31, 2015 energy-related nonaccruing loans were current. Classified energy-related credits increased to $295 million at March 31, 2015 from $134 million at December 31, 2014.

Consistent with discussions during the Company’s fourth quarter 2014 earnings call on January 26, 2015, and due to continued weakness in oil and gas prices, the Company took steps this quarter to review a number of energy-related

ZIONS BANCORPORATION
Press Release – Page 4
April 20, 2015

credits prior to the regularly scheduled borrowing base re-determination. This action resulted in some credits being regraded. These steps were consistent with the Company’s effort to mitigate credit risks. The pattern of a significant increase in graded or classified energy loans as well as the increase in nonaccrual energy loans is generally consistent with prior cycles.

However, adjustments made by energy industry participants appear to be occurring more rapidly in this cycle, including for example, reducing drilling activity and raising additional capital. In past cycles, actual loan losses relative to the classified loan portfolio have been relatively small. Additional adjustments such as increases in energy-related classified loans and decreases in unfunded commitments may occur during the second quarter of 2015 as the Company completes its semiannual borrowing base re-determination process. The Company considers these and other factors when establishing the level of the allowance for credit losses.

Asset Quality
Gross loan and lease charge-offs declined to $20 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Recoveries were $37 million in the first quarter, compared to $18 million in the fourth quarter. More than half of the gross recoveries were from non-energy-related loans at Amegy Bank.

Deterioration in various credit quality metrics was primarily related to energy-related loans at Amegy Bank; other credit metric trends not related to energy lending were generally stable. Nonperforming lending-related assets increased to $399 million at March 31, 2015 from $326 million at December 31, 2014. Classified loans increased to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2015 from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2014, also driven by energy-related credits. The ratio of nonperforming lending-related assets to loans and leases and other real estate owned increased to 0.99% at March 31, 2015, compared to 0.81% at December 31, 2014.

The allowance for credit losses increased $16 million to $702 million, or 1.75% of loans and leases at March 31, 2015, compared to $686 million, or 1.71%, of loans and leases at December 31, 2014. The provision for credit losses consists of the provision for loan losses – a negative $(1.5) million in the first quarter – plus the provision for unfunded lending commitments – $1.2 million in the first quarter – resulting in a net negative provision of $(0.3) million. During the six-month period beginning September 30, 2014, as energy prices have declined significantly, Amegy Bank has increased its allowance for credit losses by $55 million. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the allowance elsewhere, due to favorable changes in credit quality outside of the energy industry.

Deposits
Total deposits increased $275 million to $48.1 billion at March 31, 2015, compared to $47.8 billion at December 31, 2014, and resulted primarily from increased noninterest-bearing deposits. Average total deposits of $47.5 billion for the first quarter of 2015 slightly decreased from the fourth quarter of 2014.

Shareholders’ Equity
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) improved to $(115) million at March 31, 2015 from $(128) million at December 31, 2014 primarily as a result of the securities reclassification discussed subsequently.

Tangible book value per common share improved by approximately 2% to $26.64 at March 31, 2015, compared to $26.23 at December 31, 2014. Compared to March 31, 2014, tangible book value per common share improved by approximately 9%.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company began using Basel III risk weighted capital ratios. The estimated Basel III common equity tier 1 capital ratio on a 2015 phase-in basis was 11.81%, essentially unchanged from 11.82% at December 31, 2014.

Investments
The March 31, 2015 balance sheet compared to December 31, 2014 primarily reflects purchases of medium duration agency mortgage-backed securities that were generally funded through reduction of interest-bearing deposits, as well as an increase in available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities due to the reclassification of CDO securities previously designated as held-to-maturity (“HTM”) securities.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company reclassified all of its remaining HTM CDO securities, or approximately $79 million at amortized cost, to AFS securities. This was the result of the Company’s Dodd-Frank Act stress test results and the CDO securities’ treatment under Basel III capital and risk weighting rules that became effective January 1, 2015. The reclassification provides the Company with greater flexibility with regard to the management of these securities. This reclassification improved other comprehensive income (“OCI”) by approximately $18 million pretax, because the fair value of these securities on the date of reclassification exceeded carrying value by that amount. Approximately half of this increase was offset during the first quarter by slight declines in fair values of the CDO securities. No gain or loss was recognized in earnings at the time of reclassification.

The Company recognized an immaterial amount of net realized losses on sales, paydowns and payoffs of CDO securities in the first quarter, compared to $11 million in net realized losses in the fourth quarter.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased to $417 million in the first quarter of 2015 from $430 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of two fewer days of income. The net interest margin decreased to 3.22% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 3.25% in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower loan yields on new production.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2015 was $122 million, compared to $129 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease was mostly attributable to the recognition in the fourth quarter of unrealized gains on Small Business Investment Company investments in both dividends and other investment income and in equity securities gains; excluding the securities gains, noninterest income declined moderately primarily due to lower service charges, which is largely attributable to seasonal effects.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2015 was $397 million, compared to $423 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $398 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease compared to the fourth quarter related to (1) the recognition of the litigation settlement in the fourth quarter in other noninterest expense and (2) decreased professional and legal services following the Company’s CCAR submission in January 2015. The $5 million quarterly increase to $244 million in salary and employee benefits expense was primarily due to the cyclical first quarter increase in payroll taxes.

Conference Call
Zions will host a conference call to discuss these first quarter results at 5:30 p.m. ET this afternoon (April 20, 2015). Media representatives, analysts and the public are invited to listen to this discussion by calling 253-237-1247 (domestic and international) and entering the passcode 10432053, or via on-demand webcast.

This press release presents the non-GAAP financial measures previously shown. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results.
The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company and in predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business or its financial position for evaluating bank reporting segment performance, for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
