$15 million compared to 2006, and decreased revenues of $11 million related to various financial assets isolated for
the purpose of providing post-employment benefits.
The ability to generate significant amounts of noninterest revenue in the future will be very important to the
continued financial success of BB&T. Through its subsidiaries, BB&T will continue to focus on asset management,
mortgage banking, trust, insurance, investment banking and brokerage services, as well as other fee-producing
products and services. BB&T plans to continue to pursue acquisitions of additional financial services companies,
including insurance agencies and other fee income producing businesses as a means of expanding fee-based
revenues. Also, among BB&T’s principal strategies following the acquisition of a financial institution is the cross-
sell of noninterest income generating products and services to the acquired institution’s client base. As previously
mentioned, management has set a goal to increase the contribution of noninterest revenue sources to 45% over
the next few years.

Noninterest expense totaled $3.9 billion in 2008, $3.6 billion in 2007 and $3.5 billion in 2006. Noninterest
