Explanatory note:
This press release contains certain financial information, as detailed below, which has been derived by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's quarterly results of operations. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation may contain forward-looking statements with respect to Fulton Financial Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations and business. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “will,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” “intends” and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Management’s “2016 Outlook” contained herein is comprised of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control and ability to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A discussion of certain risks and uncertainties affecting the Corporation, and some of the factors that could cause the Corporation’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, can be found in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are available in the Investor Relations section of the Corporation’s website (www.fult.com) and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov). The Corporation uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures at the end of this presentation. 2

INCOME STATEMENT SUMMARY – ANNUAL COMPARISON Note: ROA is return an average assets determined by dividing net income for the period indicated by average assets (1) Non-GAAP based financial measure. Please refer to the calculation and management’s reasons for using this measure on the slide titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” at the end of this presentation. Net Income of $149.5 million, down 5.3% due primarily to lower net interest income and higher non-interest expense, partially offset by lower loan loss provision and higher non-interest income Net Interest Income Net interest income down 2.9% due to margin compression Loan Loss Provision $2.3 million provision in 2015 reflects significant improvements in asset quality Non-Interest Income Increase of 4.5% driven primarily by commercial loan interest rate swap fees, merchant fees, and mortgage banking income Non-Interest Expense Increase of 3.3% largely driven by higher salaries and benefits, data processing and software. 2015 2014 Change Net Interest Income 499,994$ 514,867$ (14,873)$ Loan Loss Provision 2,250 12,500 (10,250) Non-Interest Income 172,773 165,338 7,435 Securities Gains 9,066 2,041 7,025 Non-Interest Expense 474,534 459,246 15,288 Loss on redemption of TruPS 5,626 - 5,626 Income before Income Taxes 199,423 210,500 (11,077) Income Taxes 49,921 52,606 (2,685) Net Income 149,502$ 157,894$ (8,392)$ Per Share (Diluted) 0.85$ 0.84$ 0.01$ ROA 0.86% 0.93% (0.07%) ROE (tangible) (1) 10.01% 10.31% (0.30%) Efficiency rati (1) 68.61% 65.65% 2.96% (dollars in thousands, except per-share data) 4
