For the first nine months of the year, BB&T's net income was $683 million, compared with $1.2 billion earned in the first nine months of 2008. Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2009 totaled $.88, compared with $2.20 earned during the same period in 2008. Results for the first nine months of 2009 produced annualized returns on average assets and average common shareholders' equity of .60% and 5.09%, respectively.
On Aug. 14, BB&T assumed all of the deposits and acquired certain assets and other liabilities of Colonial Bank (Colonial), headquartered in Montgomery, Ala., from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Colonial operated 357 banking offices in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Nevada. The acquisition significantly strengthened BB&T's banking franchise, moving BB&T to fifth in deposit market share in Florida and fourth in Alabama.
BB&T last week jointly announced an agreement with U.S. Bank to sell Colonial branches and related deposits in Nevada in the first quarter of 2010. The agreement excludes substantially all of the loans associated with these branches, which will remain with BB&T and remain covered by the FDIC loss-share agreement.
At Sept. 30, BB&T had $165.3 billion in assets and operated 1,859 banking offices in the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Nevada, Indiana and Washington, D.C. BB&T's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol BBT.
