Supplemental Financial DataReconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP ($ in millions) 37 The Tier 1 common capital ratio removes preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities from Tier 1 capital as defined by and calculated in conformity with Basel I risk-based capital rules in effect through 12/31/14. Effective 1/1/15, regulatory capital components and risk-weighted assets are defined by and calculated in conformity with Basel III risk-based capital rules. The tangible common equity ratio removes preferred stock and the effect of intangible assets from capital and the effect of intangible assets from total assets. Tangible common equity per share of common stock removes the effect of intangible assets from common shareholders equity per share of common stock.The Corporation believes these measurements are meaningful measures of capital adequacy used by investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate the adequacy of common equity and to compare against other companies in the industry.1Tier 1 Capital and risk-weighted assets as defined by Basel I risk-based capital rules.n/a – not applicable. 3/31/15 12/31/14 3/31/14 12/31/13 12/31/12 12/31/11 Tier 1 and Tier 1 common capital1Risk-weighted assets1Tier 1 and Tier 1 common capital ratio n/an/an/a 7,16968,27310.50% 6,96265,78810.58% 6,89564,82510.64% 6,70566,11510.14% Common shareholders’ equityLess: GoodwillLess: Other intangible assets $7,50063515 $7,40263515 $7,28363516 $7,15063517 $6,93963522 $6,86563532Tangible common equity $6,850 $6,752 $6,632 $6,498 $6,282 $6,198Total assetsLess: GoodwillLess: Other intangible assets $69,33663515 $69,19063515 $65,68163516 $65,22463517 $65,06663522 $61,00563532Tangible assets $68,686 $68,540 $65,030 $64,572 $64,409 $60,338Common equity ratio 10.82% 10.70% 11.09% 10.97% 10.67% 11.26%Tangible common equity ratio 9.97 9.85 10.20 10.07 9.76 10.27 Common shareholders’ equity $7,500 $7,402 $7,283 $7,150 $6,939 $6,865Tangible common equity $6,850 $6,752 $6,632 $6,498 $6,282 $6,198Shares of common stock outstanding (in millions) 178 179 182 182 188 197 Common shareholders’ equity per share of common stock $42.12 $41.35 $40.09 $39.22 $36.86 $34.79Tangible common equity per share of common stock 38.47 37.72 36.50 35.64 33.36 31.40
