SunTrust Reports Second Quarter Results

Improved Asset Quality and Operating Trends Narrow Earnings Loss

____________________________________________________________________________
 

 

PR Newswire -- July 22, 2010

ATLANTA, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI) said
today that improved asset quality and operating trends led to a significantly
narrowed loss in the current quarter as compared to the prior year and the first
quarter. The Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders for
the second quarter of 2010 of $56 million, or $0.11 per average common share,
versus a net loss of $164 million, or $0.41 per average common share, in the
second quarter of 2009 and a net loss of $229 million, or $0.46 per average
common share, in the first quarter of 2010. Net income before preferred
dividends was $12 million for the second quarter of 2010.

"Our overall operating trends gained momentum with continued asset quality
improvement, sequential quarter revenue growth, and favorable deposit volume and
mix," said James M. Wells III, chairman and chief executive officer of SunTrust
Banks, Inc. Mr. Wells also noted the slower pace of loan balance decline in
addition to continued expense management discipline.

"We continue to execute on our client-focused strategies and position the
Company to benefit from opportunities in our markets that will hasten our return
to profitability," he added. "With solid capital and liquidity, we operate from
a position of strength. Lingering operating environment uncertainties
notwithstanding, we are encouraged by improving results and prospects."

Second Quarter 2010 Consolidated Highlights

-- The net loss of $0.11 per share improved compared to the second quarter
of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. Net income before preferred
dividends was positive this quarter.


-- Total revenue trended up over the first quarter of 2010 with broad-based
growth across core fee income categories. Noninterest income included
net gains of $57 million on the sale of securities and $63 million in
valuation gains on the Company's public debt and related hedges carried
at fair value.


-- Relative to the prior year quarter, net interest income increased 8% and
margin increased 39 basis points. Net interest income and margin
remained stable compared to the first quarter of 2010.


-- Improved asset quality trends continued during the quarter with
nonperforming assets, nonaccrual loans, and net charge-offs all
declining. Excluding government guaranteed loan delinquencies, early
stage delinquencies were down 6 basis points compared to the first
quarter.


-- As a result of improved credit trends, the provision for credit losses
declined significantly compared to the prior year and the sequential
quarter, while the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans
remained stable over the prior quarter.


-- Core expenses remain tightly managed, with personnel-related expenses
declining compared to the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2009.
The sequential quarter increase in total expenses was significantly
affected by debt extinguishment costs in the current quarter of $63
million.


-- The decline in average loans moderated during the quarter, with declines
continuing to be concentrated in real estate-related loans.


-- Deposits increased as growth in lower-cost deposits was partially offset
by a decline in higher-cost time deposits.


-- Capital ratios remained strong with an estimated Tier 1 common equity
ratio of 7.85% and Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.40%.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenue

For the second quarter of 2010, fully taxable-equivalent total revenue was up
14% on a sequential quarter basis, as noninterest revenues improved across all
major fee income categories. The current quarter included net gains of $57
million on the sale of securities and $63 million in valuation gains on the
Company's public debt and related hedges carried at fair value, while the first
quarter of 2010 included valuation losses of $20 million. Compared to the second
quarter of 2009, total revenue declined 2%, as higher net interest income in the
current period was offset by the $112 million gain from the sale of Visa shares
and higher mortgage-related income recorded in the second quarter of 2009.

For the six months, fully taxable-equivalent total revenue was $4,060 million,
down 8% from the prior year, despite higher net interest income. The decline in
noninterest income was primarily driven by lower mortgage production and higher
mortgage repurchase costs in 2010, as well as a mortgage servicing rights
impairment recovery and the Visa gain in 2009.

Net Interest Income

Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1,208 million in the second
quarter of 2010, an increase of 8% from the second quarter of 2009, and
relatively flat on a sequential quarter basis. Average earning assets declined
$7.7 billion, or 5%, compared to a year ago, primarily attributable to declines
in loans and loans held for sale, partially offset by an increase in securities
available for sale. On a sequential basis, the rate of decline in loan balances
slowed to 1%.

Net interest margin for the second quarter was 3.33%, up 39 basis points from
the same quarter last year, primarily driven by lower funding costs. Growth in
lower-cost deposits and a significant reduction in higher-cost funding sources
contributed to a 62 basis point decline in the cost of average interest-bearing
liabilities. Compared to the first quarter of 2010, net interest margin
increased 1 basis point, also due to lower funding costs.

For the six months, fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $2,410
million, an increase of 9% from the prior year, while net interest margin
increased 42 basis points to 3.32%. The same factors in the quarterly
year-over-year comparison contributed to the six month increase in net interest
income and margin.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $952 million for the second quarter of 2010, down
$120 million, or 11%, from the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was due to
the $112 million gain from the sale of Visa shares in the second quarter of 2009
and a $234 million decline in mortgage-related income. Market valuation losses
on the Company's public debt and related hedges carried at fair value were $96
million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to a gain of $63 million in the
current quarter. Additionally, the current quarter included net gains on the
sale of securities of $57 million related to repositioning the investment
portfolio, compared to net losses of $25 million in the same quarter of 2009. On
a sequential quarter basis, noninterest income was up $254 million, or 36%, as
all service and fee-based revenues showed increases. The first quarter of 2010
included a $20 million mark-to-market loss on publicly traded debt and related
hedges carried at fair value, compared to the gain this quarter as noted above.

Mortgage production income declined $182 million compared to the second quarter
of 2009, as production volume declined approximately 60%. Additionally,
estimated mortgage repurchase losses recognized during the current quarter were
$148 million, compared to $62 million in the second quarter of 2009. Compared to
the first quarter of 2010, mortgage repurchase reserves increased to $256
million, up $46 million, in response to increased repurchase demands. Mortgage
production income improved $14 million sequentially, despite increased
repurchase costs, as loan production was higher.

Mortgage servicing related income for the quarter was $88 million, a decline of
$52 million, or 37%, from the second quarter of 2009. The second quarter of 2009
included a $157 million recovery of impairment on the mortgage servicing rights
carried at the lower of cost or market. The second quarter of 2009 also included
$63 million of amortization of servicing rights carried at the lower of cost or
market, while in 2010 all servicing rights were carried at fair value, resulting
in no amortization. Mortgage servicing related income increased $17 million, or
24%, from the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to lower fair value-related
changes. As of June 30, 2010, the Company serviced $177.8 billion in mortgage
loans, up 3% from the prior year.

Trading account profits and commissions increased $139 million in the second
quarter of 2010 over the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to the
aforementioned mark-to-market valuation impacts on the Company's public debt.
The mark-to-market gain in the current quarter was driven by the widening of
SunTrust's credit spreads. Revenue from fixed income trading and equity
derivatives declined compared to the second quarter of 2009. On a sequential
quarter basis, trading account profits and commissions increased $116 million,
primary due to the quarter-over-quarter change in mark-to-market valuations on
the Company's public debt. The current quarter also included net valuation
losses of $1 million, compared to a first quarter of 2010 net valuation loss of
$16 million on illiquid securities, certain trading assets, and valuation losses
related to the deterioration of collateral on previously securitized loans.
Investment banking income declined 20% compared to the record second quarter of
2009, due to decreased equity capital markets activities and a shift of revenue
from noninterest income to net interest income upon the consolidation of our
commercial paper conduit in the first quarter of 2010.

During the current quarter, consumer and commercial fee-based revenues were
mixed compared to the second quarter of 2009. Card fees and trust and investment
management income were up 17% and 9%, respectively, while service charges on
deposits and retail investment services showed moderate declines.

For the six months, total noninterest income was $1,650 million, down 25%
compared to the same period of 2009. The decline was largely due to lower
mortgage production income from increased repurchase losses and reduced mortgage
loan production in 2010, lower mortgage servicing income due to the impairment
recoveries recorded in 2009, and the gain on the sale of Visa shares in 2009.
Trends in the first six months related to other fee-based revenues were
consistent with the year-over-year quarterly comparisons.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2010 was $1,503 million, down
$25 million, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2009. Losses on the
extinguishment of debt increased and were offset by a decline in personnel
expense and lower FDIC insurance costs, as the second quarter of 2009 included
the $78 million FDIC special assessment. Credit-related expenses of $177 million
during the current quarter increased slightly compared to the same quarter of
2009; mortgage reinsurance expense and operating losses declined, while other
real estate losses increased, primarily related to the sale of residential real
estate-related assets and provisions for a decline in property values. Personnel
costs declined due to lower pension expense, as the performance of underlying
pension assets improved and discount rates increased. The debt extinguishment
loss of $63 million in the current quarter is primarily related to the
extinguishment of $900 million of debt, while the $39 million loss in the second
quarter of 2009 primarily resulted from the Company's tender for its hybrid debt
securities. Marketing and customer development expense increased $14 million, or
45%, over the same quarter of 2009 due to increased promotional and advertising
spending. Outside processing and software expense increased $12 million, or 9%,
primarily from initiatives aimed at enhancing the client service experience and
higher volumes.

On a sequential quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $142 million, or
10%. Debt extinguishment costs increased $73 million, and credit-related
expenses increased $34 million on higher other real estate expenses. Outside
processing and marketing expenses increased $9 million and $10 million,
respectively, for the same reasons noted above.

For the six months, total noninterest expense was $2,863 million, a decrease of
$817 million, or 22%, over the same period in 2009. The decline was primarily
due to the $751 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded in the
first quarter of 2009. Personnel costs declined $65 million, or 5%, and FDIC
insurance expense declined $67 million, primarily due to the special assessment
paid in the second quarter of 2009. Credit-related expenses remained elevated
but declined $39 million compared to a year ago. Debt extinguishment losses
increased $41 million, primarily due to the debt retired during the second
quarter of 2010.

Income Taxes

For the second quarter, the Company recognized a benefit for income taxes of $50
million, which compares to a benefit of $149 million for the second quarter of
2009. The difference in the net tax benefit was primarily attributable to the
lower level of pre-tax losses; permanent items, such as tax-exempt interest and
federal tax credits, were stable.

U.S. Treasury Preferred Dividends

For the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2010 and 2009, the Company
recorded $67 million and $133 million, respectively, in preferred dividends
related to the $4.85 billion in preferred securities issued to the U.S. Treasury
under the Capital Purchase Program. The 5.5% effective yield reflects the 5.0%
dividend rate and the amortization of the discount recorded on the preferred
stock at issuance.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2010, SunTrust had total assets of $170.7 billion and
shareholders' equity of $23.0 billion, representing 14% of total assets. Book
value per common share was $36.19 as of June 30, 2010.

Loans

Average loans for the second quarter of 2010 were $113.0 billion, down $11.1
billion, or 9%, compared to the second quarter of 2009. The decline was
concentrated in construction, residential real estate, and commercial loan
categories. SunTrust continues to manage its exposure to residential real
estate, most notably real estate construction loans, which declined $3.2
billion, or approximately 50%, from prior year levels. The $800 million decline
in real estate construction loans versus the first quarter of 2010 is the
primary driver of the Company's sequential 1% decline in average total loans.
Relative to both the prior year and sequential quarter, consumer direct and
indirect loans grew modestly. While the soft economic environment has continued
to reduce borrower demand for credit, the pace of loan declines has slowed, and,
during the quarter, loan originations totaled $17.6 billion, including renewals
and loan commitments.

Deposits

Average consumer and commercial deposits for the second quarter of 2010 totaled
$116.5 billion, up 3% from the second quarter of 2009. As clients continued to
migrate to more liquid products, average consumer and other time deposits
declined $7.0 billion, or 23%, while demand, NOW and money market accounts
increased $9.6 billion, or 12%. Average total brokered and foreign deposits
declined 60% from the second quarter of 2009, as the Company's deposit growth
initiatives and longer-term financing activities enabled a reduction in these
wholesale funding sources. On a sequential quarter basis, average consumer and
commercial deposits increased 1%, with the majority of the increase in
lower-cost deposits.

Capital and Liquidity

The Company's capital ratios remained strong at June 30, 2010, with estimated
Tier 1 common equity, Tier 1 capital, and tangible equity to tangible asset
ratios of 7.85%, 13.40%, and 10.18%, respectively. The Company also has
substantial available liquidity, as the inflows of high-quality deposits have
largely been retained in cash and invested in high-quality government-backed
securities.

Asset Quality

Improved asset quality trends continued during the quarter with nonperforming
assets, nonaccrual loans, and net charge-offs all declining. Despite these
trends, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased
to 2.81% as of June 30, 2010, up 1 basis point since March 31, 2010, due to
continued economic uncertainty. The reserve for unfunded commitments ended the
quarter at $60 million, down $40 million from March 31, 2010, due to improved
credit quality related to certain commercial and large corporate clients.

In the second quarter of 2010, provision for credit losses was $662 million, a
decline of $200 million on a sequential quarter basis and a decline of $300
million from the second quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs in the second quarter
of 2010 were $722 million, down $79 million from the same quarter last year and
down $99 million on a sequential quarter basis. Compared to the second quarter
of 2009, declines in commercial and home equity line charge-offs more than
offset higher construction loan charge-offs. On a sequential quarter basis,
residential mortgage and home equity line charge-offs declined, and construction
loan charge-offs increased. The decline in residential mortgage charge-offs was
primarily driven by actions taken in the first quarter of 2010 related to the
transfer of a specific group of nonperforming loans to held for sale, as well as
incremental charge-offs recognized on severely delinquent loans collateralized
by properties in jurisdictions with extended foreclosure periods. During the
second quarter of 2010, the sale of the loans transferred to held for sale was
completed, and final pricing was consistent with expectations.

Nonaccrual loans were $4,699 million, or 4.16% of total loans, as of June 30,
2010, compared to $5,185 million, or 4.55% of total loans, as of March 31, 2010.
The $486 million decrease was driven primarily by nonaccrual construction loans
declining $225 million, or 14%, and residential mortgages declining $308
million, or 13%. Nonaccrual loans declined $805 million, or 15%, compared to
June 30, 2009, due to reductions in residential mortgage and construction loans,
partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate loans. The overall
decline in nonaccrual loans was due to charge-offs recognized, the migration of
loans to other real estate owned, and reduced inflows into nonaccrual.
Nonperforming assets also declined $702 million, or 11%, compared to June 30,
2009, and $580 million, or 10%, compared to March 31, 2010. The allowance to
nonperforming loans was 67.64% as of June 30, 2010, up 590 basis points from
March 31, 2010. Early stage delinquencies as of June 30, 2010, increased 7 basis
points to 1.26% compared to the first quarter; however, excluding government
guaranteed loan delinquencies, early stage delinquencies were down 6 basis
points.

As a result of continued efforts to work with clients that are experiencing
financial difficulties, loan modifications have increased. Accruing restructured
loans, primarily residential real estate-related, increased to $2.3 billion, up
$361 million over the prior quarter end. Nonaccruing restructured loans remained
relatively stable at $986 million, with commercial-related loans representing
$204 million of the total.

measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between
taxable and non-taxable amounts.

This news release may contain forward-looking statements. Statements regarding
future levels of net interest margin, future levels of and rates of change in
delinquencies (including within the consumer, commercial and industrial, and

those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in Item 1A of
Part I of our 10-K and in other periodic reports that we file with the SEC.
Those factors include: difficult market conditions have adversely affected our
industry; recent levels of market volatility are unprecedented; we are subject
to capital adequacy guidelines and, if we fail to meet these guidelines, our
financial condition would be adversely affected; recently enacted legislation,
or legislation enacted in the future, or any proposed federal programs subject
us to increased regulation and may adversely affect us; we have not yet received
permission to repay TARP funds; emergency measures designed to stabilize the
U.S. banking system are beginning to wind down; we are subject to credit risk;
weakness in the economy and in the real estate market, including specific
weakness within our geographic footprint, has adversely affected us and may
continue to adversely affect us; weakness in the real estate market, including
the secondary residential mortgage loan markets, has adversely affected us and
may continue to adversely affect us; as a financial services company, adverse
changes in general business or economic conditions could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations; changes in market
interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and
expense, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of
capital or liquidity; the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government
and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on our earnings; we may be
required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify mortgage loan purchasers as a
result of breaches of representations and warranties, borrower fraud, or certain
borrower defaults, which could harm our liquidity, results of operations, and
financial condition; we may continue to suffer increased losses in our loan
portfolio despite enhancement of our underwriting policies; depressed market
values for our stock may require us to write down goodwill; clients could pursue
alternatives to bank deposits, causing us to lose a relatively inexpensive
source of funding; consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their
financial transactions, which could affect net income; we have businesses other
than banking which subject us to a variety of risks; hurricanes and other
natural disasters may adversely affect loan portfolios and operations and
increase the cost of doing business; negative public opinion could damage our
reputation and adversely impact business and revenues; we rely on other
companies to provide key components of our business infrastructure; the
soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us; we rely on
our systems, employees, and certain counterparties, and certain failures could
materially adversely affect our operations; we depend on the accuracy and
completeness of information about clients and counterparties; we are subject to
certain litigation, and our expenses related to this litigation may adversely
affect our results; regulation by federal and state agencies could adversely
affect the business, revenue, and profit margins; competition in the financial
services industry is intense and could result in losing business or reducing
margins; future legislation could harm our competitive position; maintaining or
increasing market share depends on market acceptance and regulatory approval of
new products and services; we may not pay dividends on your common stock; our
ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries accounts for most of our
revenue and could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends; significant
legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities; recently
declining values of real estate, increases in unemployment, and the related
effects on local economies may increase our credit losses, which would
negatively affect our financial results; deteriorating credit quality,
particularly in real estate loans, has adversely impacted us and may continue to
adversely impact us; our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover
our eventual losses; we will realize future losses if the proceeds we receive
upon liquidation of nonperforming assets are less than the carrying value of
such assets; disruptions in our ability to access global capital markets may
negatively affect our capital resources and liquidity; in 2009 and 2010, credit
rating agencies downgraded the credit ratings of SunTrust Bank and SunTrust
Banks, Inc., and these downgrades and any subsequent downgrades could adversely
impact the price and liquidity of our securities and could have an impact on our
businesses and results of operations; we have in the past and may in the future
pursue acquisitions, which could affect costs and from which we may not be able
to realize anticipated benefits; we depend on the expertise of key personnel,
and if these individuals leave or change their roles without effective
replacements, operations may suffer; we may not be able to hire or retain
additional qualified personnel and recruiting and compensation costs may
increase as a result of turnover, both of which may increase costs and reduce
profitability and may adversely impact our ability to implement our business
strategy; our accounting policies and processes are critical to how we report
our financial condition and results of operations, and require management to
make estimates about matters that are uncertain; changes in our accounting
policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our
financial results and condition; our stock price can be volatile; our disclosure

(1) See Appendix A for reconcilements of non-GAAP performance measures.
(2) Total revenue, net interest margin, and efficiency ratios are
presented on a fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") basis. The FTE
basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income
from certain loans and investments. The Company believes this
measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest
income and it enhances comparability of net interest
income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. Total revenue
- FTE equals net interest income on a FTE basis plus noninterest
income.
(3) Current period tier 1 common equity, tier 1 capital, total
capital and tier 1 leverage ratios are estimated as of the earnings
release date.
(4) "NM" -Not meaningful. Those changes over 100 percent were not
considered to be meaningful.
(5) For earnings per share calculation purposes, the impact of
dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted share count during
periods that the Company has recognized a net loss
available to common shareholders because the impact would be antidilutive.

(1) SunTrust presents a return on average assets less net unrealized
gains on securities. The foregoing numbers primarily reflect
adjustments to remove the effects of the securities portfolio which
includes the ownership by the Company of common shares of The Coca-
Cola Company. The Company uses this information internally to gauge
its actual performance in the industry. The Company
believes that the return on average assets less the net unrealized
securities gains is more indicative of the Company's return on
assets because it more accurately reflects the return on the assets
that are
related to the Company's core businesses which are primarily client
relationship and client transaction driven. The return on average
assets less net unrealized gains on securities is computed by
dividing
annualized net loss, excluding securities (gains)/losses and The
Coca-Cola Company dividend, net of tax, by average assets less net
unrealized securities gains.
(2) SunTrust believes that the return on average realized common
shareholders' equity is more indicative of the Company's return on
equity because the excluded equity relates primarily to the holding
of a
specific security. The return on average realized common
shareholders' equity is computed by dividing annualized net loss
available to common shareholders, excluding securities
(gains)/losses and The
Coca-Cola Company dividend, net of tax, by average realized common
shareholders' equity.
(3) Computed by dividing noninterest expense by total revenue - FTE.
The efficiency ratios are presented on an FTE basis. The FTE basis
adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from
certain loans and investments. The Company believes this measure to
be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and it
enhances comparability of net interest income arising from
taxable and tax-exempt sources.
(4) SunTrust presents a tangible efficiency ratio which excludes the
amortization/impairment of goodwill/intangible assets other than
MSRs. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors
because, by removing the effect of these intangible asset costs (the
level of which may vary from company to company), it allows
investors to more easily compare the Company's efficiency to other
companies in the industry. This measure is utilized by management to
assess the efficiency of the Company and its lines of business.
(5) SunTrust presents a tangible equity to tangible assets ratio that
excludes the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible
assets. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors
because, by removing the effect of intangible assets that result from
merger and acquisition activity (the level of which may vary from
company to company), it allows investors to more easily compare the
Company's capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. This
measure is used by management to analyze capital adequacy.
(6) SunTrust presents total revenue- FTE excluding net realized
securities (gains)/losses. The Company believes noninterest income
without net securities (gains)/losses is more indicative of the
Company's performance because it isolates income that is primarily
client relationship and client transaction driven and is more
indicative of normalized operations.
(7) SunTrust presents a tangible book value per common share that
excludes the after-tax impact of purchase accounting intangible
assets and also excludes preferred stock from tangible equity. The
Company believes this measure is useful to investors because, by
removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and
acquisition activity as well as preferred stock (the level of which
may
vary from company to company), it allows investors to more easily
compare the Company's book value on common stock to other companies
in the industry.
(8) Certain amounts in this schedule are presented net of applicable
income taxes, which are calculated based on each subsidiary's
federal and state tax rates and laws. In general, the federal
marginal
tax rate is 35%, but the state marginal tax rates range from 1% to 8%
in accordance with the subsidiary's income tax filing requirements
with various tax authorities. In addition, the effective tax rate
may
differ from the federal and state marginal tax rates in certain cases
where a permanent difference exists.

===== =======

(1) SunTrust presents noninterest expense, net income/(loss), net
loss available to common shareholders, and net loss per average
common diluted share that excludes the portion of the impairment
charges on goodwill
and intangible assets other than MSRs allocated to the common
shareholders. The Company believes this measure is useful to
investors, because removing the non-cash impairment charges
provides a more
representative view of normalized operations and the measure also
allows better comparability with peers in the industry who also
provide a similar presentation when applicable. In addition,
management uses this
measure internally to analyze performance.
(2) Certain amounts in this schedule are presented net of applicable
income taxes, which are calculated based on each subsidiary's
federal and state tax rates and laws. In general, the federal
marginal tax rate is 35%, but
the state marginal tax rates range from 1% to 8% in accordance with
the subsidiary's income tax filing requirements with various tax
authorities. In addition, the effective tax rate may differ from
the federal and state
marginal tax rates in certain cases where a permanent difference exists.
