Zions Bancorporation Comments on Net Interest Margin
April Margin Expands

In a conference call on April 21, 2005, Zions Bancorporation (Nasdaq: ZION) indicated that it believes its interest rate risk position is slightly asset sensitive and that its outlook for the net interest margin was stable with the possibility of a slight upward bias. Recent press reports have focused on comments made by management at a webcast investor conference that the net interest margin could decline slightly during the present quarter. Recently available information indicates that the Company's net interest margin for the month of April 2005 increased from first quarter average levels, and management believes at the current time that the most probable outlook is for the net interest margin to be stable to upward in the second quarter.
