Summary
Summary of the 10-K/A filed August 12, 2002. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Truist Financial Corp. (TFC), formerly BB&T Corporation, filed an amendment to its 2001 10-K report, primarily to enhance disclosures following an SEC review.
The amendment does not restate its previously reported financial position or results of operations. The company, a diversified financial services holding company, experienced growth through mergers and acquisitions, with a strategy focused on acquiring banks and thrifts in its primary market area (Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, etc.) and niche financial service providers. As of December 31, 2001, BB&T operated 1,081 branches across nine states and Washington D.C., with a significant market presence in North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.
Financially, for the year ended December 31, 2001, BB&T reported consolidated net income of $973.6 milliona, or $2.15 per diluted share. The company's asset quality metrics, while showing some deterioration due to a slowing economy, remained better than industry averages.
The provision for loan and lease losses increased significantly, reflecting higher nonperforming assets and net charge-offs. Non-interest income showed strong growth, driven by mortgage banking, insurance, and trust services, indicating a growing reliance on fee-based revenue streams.
