Form 10-K
We note your disclosures on pages 27-29 of various non-GAAP measures that are derived from Adjusted net income calculated on page 29, which exclude "Provision in excess of credit losses". It appears these performance measures, which exclude a portion of the provision for credit losses, substitute individually tailored recognition and measurement methods for those of GAAP and violate Rule 100(b) of Regulation G.Rest of the question
Refer to Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, which is available on our website at: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/nongaapinterp.htm. Please refrain from disclosing these performance measures, or any other similar non-GAAP performance measures that exclude all or a portion of the provision for credit losses.
Fifth Third acknowledges the staff’s comment and confirms that it will refrain from disclosing these measures, or any other similar non-GAAP performance measures that exclude all or a portion of the provision for credit losses in future filings.
