4Q07 vs. 3Q07

 

   

Earnings of $51 million down 97% and 98% from 4Q06; EPS of $0.03 down 96% and 98% from 4Q06

 

  Excluding net merger-related and restructuring expenses, EPS of $0.08 down 91% and 93% from 4Q06

 

  Results reflect a loss of $190 million before a $241 million net income tax benefit (tax-equivalent) principally reflecting a reduction in the full year tax rate given a lower than expected level of earnings; full year effective tax rate of 29.3%

 

   

Momentum in traditional banking businesses, asset management and retail brokerage masked by effects of continued market disruption and credit headwinds

 

   

Revenues of $7.2 billion down 2% from 3Q07 and 17% from 4Q06 and included $729 million from AGE

 

  3Q07 revenues included a $308 million benefit due to correction of accounting errors primarily relating to earlier periods in 2007

 

  Net interest income rose $90 million, or 2%, as the benefits of strong earning asset growth of $21.4 billion, improving loan spreads and deposit growth were somewhat offset by the continued shift to lower spread deposits, increases in nonaccrual loans and higher funding spreads; 3Q07 results included a $39 million benefit relating to the 3Q07 correction of accounting errors

 

   

AGE benefited 4Q07 net interest income by a net $24 million

 

   

Net interest income up $129 million, or 3%, before the effect of the above referenced 3Q07 $39 million benefit

 

   

Net interest margin decline of 4 bps to 2.88% reflects benefit of liability sensitive rate position and improving loan spreads which were more than offset by growth in lower spread other earning assets,

increasing nonaccrual loans, higher wholesale funding including the effects of increased liquidity and the continued shift in deposit mix to lower spread categories

 

  Fee income decreased $271 million as strength in fiduciary and asset management fees and commissions, largely reflecting the addition of AGE, and higher service charges were more than offset by the effects of $319 million higher market disruption valuation losses and a $331 million reduction in principal investing results from strong 3Q07 levels

 

   

Other noninterest expense increased $1.1 billion, or 25%, largely on the addition of $638 million relating to AGE as well as higher incentives and professional and consulting fees

 

   

Includes $44 million relating to strategic growth initiatives and $82 million of non-merger related severance costs

 

   

Average loans up 5% on growth of 8% in commercial and 3% in consumer; up 9% from 4Q06

 

  Strength in commercial real estate and large corporate reflecting strong growth and changing market conditions

 

  Consumer growth driven by consumer real estate, auto and student

 

   

Average core deposits increased 3%; up 8% from 4Q06

 

  Strong momentum in money market and CDs as well as the benefit of strong DDA sales somewhat offset by continued declines in average DDA balances and reductions in savings

 

   

Provision expense of $1.5 billion increased $1.1 billion largely on increased risk in the consumer real estate, commercial real estate and auto portfolios as well as loan growth

 

  Net charge-offs of $461 million, or 41 bps of loans, reflecting higher losses in consumer real estate, commercial real estate and auto

 

   

Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.2% improved from 7.1% in 3Q07 largely reflecting the issuance of $3.1 billion of Tier 1 qualifying securities

KEY POINTS

 

   

Fee and other income of $2.5 billion declined $271 million, or 10%, from 3Q07 and declined $1.5 billion, or 37%, from 4Q06

 

  4Q07 results reflect strength in fiduciary and asset management fees and commissions, including $705 million from AGE, as well as higher service charges, which was more than offset by the continued effect of the market disruption, including $1.7 billion in net valuation losses, lower deal volume and lower principal investing gains from strong 3Q07 levels

(Please see page 5 for additional detail on market disruption-related losses)

 

  3Q07 results included a $269 million benefit relating to the correction of accounting errors; fees were flat excluding this benefit

 

  Declines from 4Q06 reflect market-related declines in other income and trading losses which more than offset increases in fiduciary and asset management fees and commissions

 

   

Service charges increased 4% on 4% growth in consumer service charges largely reflecting higher volume and 3% growth in commercial service charges; up 11% from 4Q06 driven by an 18% increase in consumer service charges

 

   

Other banking fees of $440 million increased 1% as strength in international trade finance fees and improved results in mortgage banking were somewhat offset by lower interchange fees as higher volume was more than offset by increased debit/credit card rewards program costs from unusually low 3Q07 levels on a vendor change. Other banking fees fell 3% from 4Q06 driven by lower mortgage banking fees which more than offset strength in interchange fees

 

   

Commissions of $970 million increased $370 million, or 62%, including $336 million from AGE and higher retail brokerage transaction activity as well as improvement in insurance from weaker 3Q07 levels

 

   

Fiduciary and asset management fees rose $407 million largely on $363 million from AGE as well as strength in retail brokerage managed account and other asset-based fees, and trust and investment fees. Results increased $549 million from 4Q06 on the addition of AGE and strength in retail brokerage managed account and other asset-based fees

 

   

Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees decreased $144 million reflecting weaker results in real estate capital markets, structured credit products and leveraged finance partially offset by increases in advisory, high grade and equities. Results decreased 42% from 4Q06 reflecting lower fees from leveraged finance, structured credit products and equities

 

   

Trading account losses of $742 million increased $305 million largely reflecting additional market disruption valuation losses somewhat offset by other trading profits

 

  3Q07 results included a $232 million benefit relating to correction of accounting errors; excluding this benefit trading losses increased $73 million

 

   

Principal investing net gains of $41 million reflected gains from fund investments and declined $331 million from 3Q07 which benefited from a $270 million unrealized gain; down $101 million from 4Q06

 

   

Securities losses were $320 million in 4Q07 compared to losses of $34 million in 3Q07 and $47 million in gains in 4Q06. 4Q07 results included impairment losses of $344 million including $327 million of market disruption-related impairment losses driven by credit deterioration on asset-backed securities and market valuation declines on equity

KEY POINTS

 

   

Trading assets decreased $1.0 billion, or 3%, largely reflecting the effect of market disruption-related losses; average VAR of $44 million vs. $33 million in 3Q07

 

   

Securities increased $4.0 billion, or 4%, largely reflecting the average effect of $5.1 billion of consumer real estate agency securitizations; the average duration of the securities portfolio decreased to 3.4 years from 3.5 years in 3Q07, driven by increases in variable rate commercial real estate securities

 

   

Commercial loans increased $13.5 billion, or 8%, on strength in commercial real estate (largely income producing), large corporate, middle market and business banking and reflected a $1.1 billion average effect of $1.7 billion in commercial real estate transferred from held for sale to the portfolio; period-end commercial loans up $9.0 billion

 

   

Consumer loans increased $6.5 billion, or 3%, driven by growth in consumer real estate, auto and student loans, partially offset by the $2.6 billion average effect of $5.1 billion of consumer real estate securitizations; period-end consumer loans up $3.7 billion with growth in real estate secured, auto and student partially offset by $5.2 billion in sales and securitization activity

 

   

Loans held for sale declined $1.2 billion largely reflecting a decline in commercial real estate and student, somewhat offset by increases in consumer real estate

 

   

Other earning assets down $395 million as a $1.5 billion increase in margin loans from AGE was more than offset by declines in interest-bearing bank balances and fed funds sold

 

   

Total average earning assets rose $21.4 billion, or 3%, and 9% from 4Q06

 

   

Core deposits increased $11.0 billion, or 3%, reflecting $5.4 billion of FDIC deposits from AGE, strong commercial growth on seasonally higher government deposits as well as consumer growth. Strength in CDs and interest checking more than offset declines in savings and DDAs; up 8% from 4Q06

Period-end loans held for sale of $16.8 billion decreased $4.7 billion

 

  Loans held for sale related to core business activity decreased $2.6 billion due to lower commercial real estate, which included a net $3.7 billion of sale and securitization activity and a $1.7 billion transfer of loans to the portfolio; net consumer sale and securitization activity increased loans held for sale by $530 million driven by consumer real estate; loan syndication positions increased $1.2 billion
  In 4Q07, we originated $14.3 billion of consumer mortgages and delivered $3.8 billion to agencies/privates

 

  Loans held for sale related to portfolio management activity decreased $2.1 billion largely reflecting sales of $1.9 billion in student loans and $157 million of commercial loans

KEY POINTS

 

   

Total NPAs of $5.2 billion rose $2.2 billion driven by a $1.2 billion increase in consumer real estate and a $770 million increase in commercial real estate; up 45 bps to 1.08% of loans

 

  Commercial real estate nonaccrual loan growth largely relates to increases in the Real Estate Financial Services (REFS) portfolio following an extensive review of a significant portion of the portfolio given the recent significant deterioration in the residential segment of the housing market

 

   

Provision expense of $1.5 billion largely reflecting the effects of recent significant deterioration in the housing market

 

  Results included $1.0 billion largely reflecting higher expected loss factors for the consumer real estate, auto and commercial portfolios. The commercial portfolio increase was largely driven by the REFS portfolio, given the accelerated downturn in the housing market and its impact on the consumer and related commercial sectors

 

  Net charge-offs of $461 million, or 41 bps of average loans, increased $255 million driven by higher consumer real estate, commercial real estate and auto losses and included $63 million relating to the adoption of FFIEC methodology for charge-offs in the Pick-a-Payment portfolio recording charge-offs at 180 days rather than at the time of the sale of the foreclosed property

 

  3Q07 allowance for credit losses included an $88 million reduction relating to the correction of an error in the consumer formula-based component for overdrafts

 

   

Allowance for credit losses of $4.7 billion, or 1.02% of net loans

 

  Allowance for loan losses covers annualized 4Q07 net charge-offs 2.44 times

 

  Allowance reflects higher expected loss factors for the Pick-a-Payment mortgage, auto and commercial portfolio primarily relating to the REFS loan portfolio, which is largely commercial real estate

(a) Principally auto loans.
(b) Annualized.

 

   

Net charge-offs in the loan portfolio of $461 million increased $255 million, or 124%, driven by growth in consumer real estate, commercial real estate and auto; annualized net charge-offs up 22 basis points to 0.41% of average loans

 

  Commercial net charge-offs of $162 million increased 26 bps to 0.34% of loans, driven by growth in residential commercial real estate losses to $117 million, increasing to 1.09% of commercial real estate loans, somewhat offset by lower commercial losses

 

   

During 4Q07 we performed an extensive review of our REFS residential-related commercial real estate portfolio given the dramatic pace of change in the housing market

 

  Consumer net charge-offs of $299 million increased 19 bps to 0.46%, driven by a $100 million increase in consumer real estate net charge-offs

 

   

4Q07 results include $93 million in losses in the Pick-a-Payment portfolio including $63 million relating to FFIEC methodology alignment for the portfolio

 

   

Installment loan net charge-offs of $150 million increased $27 million driven by auto net losses of $138 million, which included $8 million associated with a change in our charge-off policy for bankrupt borrowers to include losses on partially-paying customers at the time of bankruptcy

(a) The allowance for credit losses is the sum of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.
(b) The provision related to loans transferred or sold includes recovery of lower of cost or market losses.
(c) These ratios do not include nonperforming assets included in loans held for sale.

 

   

Allowance for credit losses increased $1.0 billion to $4.7 billion, reflecting increased risk in the consumer real estate, commercial real estate and auto portfolios largely resulting from a more uncertain credit environment following a dramatic pace of change in the residential housing market, as well as continued loan growth

 

  $704 million of the increase related to consumer

 

   

$594 million reflects an increase in our expected loss factors on the Pick-a-Payment portfolio with a focus on weaker loans in stressed geographic markets; Pick-a-Payment portfolio allowance of 66 bps of loans compared with 22 bps at the end of 3Q07

 

   

$82 million of the increase related to auto, largely reflecting higher expected losses, up to 195 bps of loans compared with 163 bps at the end of 3Q07

 

  $362 million of the increase related to commercial

 

   

$218 million of the commercial increase, including $100 million in FAS 114 reserves for impaired loans, related to our REFS commercial real estate portfolio following an extensive review of a significant portion of the portfolio given the accelerated downturn in the housing market and its impact on the consumer and related commercial sectors

 

   

$65 million reflects an additional increase of FAS 114 reserves which included $50 million of market disruption losses taken on a commercial loan that financed a third-party purchase of $255 million of residential subprime assets

 

  The above factors were partially offset by a $40 million decrease in the unallocated reserve associated with the Pick-a-Payment portfolio, which was established at the time of the Golden West merger consummation, and $10 million related to loans transferred to held for sale or sold

 

  As a percentage of loans, the allowance for loan losses of 0.98% and the allowance for credit losses of 1.02% each rose 20 bps

Wachovia 4Q07 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

SUMMARY OPERATING RESULTS

Business segment results are presented excluding (i) merger-related and restructuring expenses, (ii) deposit base intangible and other intangible amortization expense, (iii) amounts presented as discontinued operations, and (iv) the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This is the basis on which we manage and allocate capital to our business segments. We continuously assess assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications to better reflect the true economics of our business segments and the management of our businesses.

In 3Q07, as previously indicated, we realigned the General Bank’s private advisory business to Wealth Management and the General Bank’s commercial real estate business to the Corporate Lending subsegment within the Corporate and Investment Bank. In 2Q07, we discontinued certain intercompany fee arrangements between Capital Management and the Parent and realigned the reporting of mortgage servicing rights hedging results from the General Bank to the Parent such that all volatility associated with mortgage servicing rights valuations net of related economic hedges is now reported in the Parent. In 1Q07, we moved our cross-border leveraged leases, consisting of our portfolios of Lease-In, Lease-Out and Sale-In, Lease-Out transactions, from the Corporate and Investment Bank to the Parent. We have updated information for prior quarters to reflect all of these changes. The impact to segment earnings for full year 2006 as a result of these and other changes was a $626 million decrease in the General Bank, a $35 million increase in Wealth Management, a $493 million increase in the Corporate and Investment Bank, a $20 million decrease in Capital Management and a $118 million increase in the Parent.

A provision for credit losses is allocated to each core business segment based on net charge-offs, and any difference between the total for each segment and the consolidated provision for credit losses is recorded in the Parent segment.

In order to remove interest rate risk from each core business segment, the management reporting model employs a funds transfer pricing (FTP) system. The FTP system matches the duration of the funding used by each segment to the duration of the assets and liabilities contained in each segment. Matching the duration, or the effective term until an instrument is expected to reprice or mature, allocates interest income and/or interest expense to each segment to insulate its resulting net interest income from interest rate risk.

In a falling rate environment, we experience a tightening spread between deposit costs and wholesale funding costs. However, our FTP system passes the effect of this tightening to deposit-providing business units on a lagged basis. Additionally, the effect of the FTP system is a decrease in charges to business units for funding to support predominantly floating-rate assets. The impact of lower rates earned on floating-rate assets and lagging rates on longer duration deposits is captured in the central money book in the Parent. Interest rate risk at Wachovia is actively managed at the corporate level and is unaffected by volatility in the central money book that may arise as a result of our FTP methodology.

3Q07 results include a $249 million after-tax ($396 million pre-tax) benefit related to correction of errors primarily in prior periods in 2007. Wachovia’s management believes that this impact was not material to 3Q07 or prior period financial statements, and the Audit Committee of Wachovia’s Board of Directors, based on information reviewed by management with the Committee, concurred with management’s conclusion.

These errors included $232 million (pre-tax) related to correction of a 2Q07 error in the application of hedge accounting for certain variable demand deposits that have no stated maturity. Effective April 1, 2007, we are no longer designating these deposits as hedged instruments in hedge accounting strategies. Also, we recorded an $88 million pre-tax reduction in the allowance for loan losses based on correction of an error in the consumer formula-based component for overdrafts that related to prior periods. Net interest income for 3Q07 also includes a benefit of $39 million pre-tax from reversal of amortization of deferred costs incorrectly recorded earlier in 2007 on certain of our mortgage products. Other income includes a benefit of $37 million pre-tax related to the correction of prior period hedge accounting ineffectiveness.

In 3Q07, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 39-1, “Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39,” which permits netting cash collateral received or posted against the applicable derivative asset or liability in situations where the applicable netting criteria are met. This new interpretation, which the FASB issued in April 2007, is effective January 1, 2008, with early adoption permitted.

Wachovia 4Q07 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

The FSP requires retrospective adoption to earlier periods. Adoption of this standard resulted in a net reduction in total assets and total liabilities of $4.3 billion at September 30, 2007. The interest income or expense related to cash collateral was reclassified to trading account profits in the results of operations resulting in a 2 bps increase to the 2Q07 net interest margin.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB FSP FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction” (FSP 13-2), FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 109,” Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life InsuranceDetermining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, ‘Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance.’” For all of these new standards, the cumulative effect of adoption is recorded as an adjustment, net of applicable taxes, to January 1, 2007, beginning retained earnings.

FSP 13-2 amends SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases,” such that changes that affect the timing of cash flows but not the total net income under a leveraged lease will trigger a recalculation of the lease. FIN 48 clarifies the criteria for recognition of income tax benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 109.

We have two primary classes of leveraged lease transactions that are affected by FSP 13-2: Lease-In, Lease-Out transactions (LILOs) and a second group of transactions that are broadly referred to as Sale-In, Lease-Out transactions (SILOs). SILOs principally include service contract and qualified technological equipment leases. We settled with the IRS in June 2004 on all matters relating to our portfolio of LILOs. On SILOs, we have concluded that it is possible that, upon ultimate resolution of a potential dispute with the IRS, we may not realize all of the income tax benefits originally recorded. On January 1, 2007, we recorded a $1.4 billion after-tax charge to beginning retained earnings entirely related to our portfolio of LILOs and SILOs. The amount of this reduction to beginning retained earnings will be recognized in earnings over the remaining terms of the affected leases, generally 35 years to 40 years. The impact on 2007 results of this charge is a reduction to net income of $98 million after-tax. The impact of the adoption of FIN 48 for other matters amounted to a $4 million reduction in beginning retained earnings.

SFAS 155 permits companies to record certain hybrid financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. Hybrid financial instruments are those containing an embedded derivative. SFAS 155 also provides a one-time opportunity to elect to record certain hybrid financial instruments existing on January 1, 2007, at fair value. We did not elect to carry any such financial instruments at fair value, and accordingly, had no cumulative effect adjustment from the adoption.

EITF Issue No. 06-5 addresses the accounting for certain corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies. The impact of adoption of this standard amounted to a $4 million reduction in beginning retained earnings.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and provides new income recognition criteria for certain derivative contracts. SFAS 157 does not establish any new fair value measurements; rather it defines “fair value” for other accounting standards that require the use of fair value for recognition or disclosure. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits companies to elect to carry certain financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. Both SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 are effective on January 1, 2008, and early adoption was permitted on January 1, 2007. We adopted these standards on January 1, 2008. The effect of adopting SFAS 157 either will be recorded directly to first quarter 2008 results of operations or as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2008, depending on the nature of the financial instrument to which the new fair value measurement is applied. The transition adjustment for SFAS 159 was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2008.

The adoption of SFAS 157 will result in gains in the first quarter 2008 results of operations of $250 million to $350 million pre-tax related primarily to a change in the methodology used to calculate the fair value of certain investments in private equity funds held in a wholly-owned investment company. Also, on January 1, 2008, we

recorded a $37 million after-tax gain ($61 million pre-tax) as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings related to removal of blockage discounts previously applied in determining the fair value of certain actively traded public equity investments and to profits previously deferred on certain derivative transactions.

Upon adoption of SFAS 159, we elected to record certain existing securities and loans held for sale at fair value and in connection therewith recorded a $39 million after-tax ($62 million pre-tax) charge to 2008 beginning retained earnings as a cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS 159. Prospectively, we plan to elect fair value for certain newly originated loans, certain purchased securities and debt issuances with related unrealized gains and losses reported in the results of operations.

As of January 1, 2008, we will adopt two EITF issues relating to the accounting for split-dollar life insurance policies that are held on certain current and former employees. The impact of adoption of these standards will amount to an after-tax reduction in beginning retained earnings of approximately $20 million.

On January 31, 2007, Wachovia acquired a majority ownership interest in European Credit Management, Ltd. (ECM), a London-based fixed income asset management firm.

On October 1, 2007, we completed the acquisition of A.G. Edwards, Inc., a retail brokerage firm headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. A.G. Edwards was combined with Wachovia Securities on January 1, 2008, and the combined firm has a national footprint of 3,700 brokerage locations, including 1,500 dedicated retail offices in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, $1.2 trillion in client assets and nearly 15,000 financial advisors. The brokerage organization is headquartered in St. Louis. Under the terms of the agreement, A.G. Edwards shareholders received 0.9844 shares of Wachovia common stock and $35.80 in cash for each share of A.G. Edwards common stock. A.G. Edwards results are included in our consolidated results beginning in 4Q07.

SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $1.2 BILLION, DOWN 14% AND 18% FROM 4Q06

 

   

Revenue of $4.4 billion declined 2% and 1% from 4Q06

 

  Net interest income decreased $63 million, or 2%, as the benefit of 3% loan growth was more than offset by narrowing loan spreads, including the effect of rising nonperforming assets, and lower deposit spreads largely reflecting the continued shift in deposit mix

 

  Fees were relatively stable as strength in consumer service charges was more than offset by a $33 million loss on the sale of student loans and lower mortgage banking fees due to reduced origination volume somewhat offset by improved pricing; interchange fees declined as higher volume was more than offset by increased debit/credit card rewards program costs from unusually low 3Q07 levels due to a vendor change

 

   

Provision expense increased 54% to $329 million driven by higher net losses in consumer real estate and auto, which includes some seasonality, and in commercial

 

  Provision included $31 million related to the Pick-a-Payment FFIEC methodology alignment

 

   

Expenses increased $135 million, or 7%, driven by higher salaries and benefits, including $47 million in non-merger severance expense as well as increased loan foreclosure costs

 

  Reflects $19 million of de novo and branch consolidation costs and $25 million relating to Western expansion

 

   

Average loans increased 3% and 6% from 4Q06

 

  Commercial loans up $1.5 billion, or 2%, driven by growth in middle-market and business banking

 

  Consumer loans increased $7.2 billion, or 3%, driven by growth in consumer real estate, auto and student

 

   

Average core deposits increased 2% and 6% from 4Q06 on strong commercial growth reflecting seasonally higher government deposits as well as consumer growth; strength in CDs and interest checking more than offset a decline in savings

RECORD SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $85 MILLION, UP 15% AND 1% FROM 4Q06

 

   

Revenue of $402 million increased 7%; up 5% from 4Q06

 

  Net interest income declined 1% as tighter spreads and lower core deposits offset loan growth

 

  Fee and other income increased 17% from 3Q07 and 8% from 4Q06 driven by record growth in fiduciary and asset management fees from lower 3Q07 levels, which included an $11 million receivables write-off, and reflects the benefits of a pricing initiative implemented during 3Q07 and other growth

 

   

Expenses increased 3% from both 3Q07 and 4Q06 on higher salaries and benefits including non-merger severance costs

 

   

Assets under management increased 1% from 3Q07 as fund inflows offset market declines and were up 11% vs. 4Q06 resulting from new sales on the investment platform and market appreciation

SEGMENT LOSS OF $596 MILLION, DOWN $701 MILLION AND $1.3 BILLION FROM 4Q06

 

   

Revenue of $162 million decreased $660 million and $1.9 billion from 4Q06

 

  Results reflect the continued effect of the market disruption with valuation losses of $1.6 billion, as well as lower principal investing results

 

  Net interest income up $149 million, or 18%, on improved trading related income, growth in higher spread structured product assets related to the 3Q07 consolidation of a structured lending vehicle and 10% loan growth that more than offset narrowing loan spreads

 

   

Average loans rose 10% led by structured products, income producing commercial real estate and large corporate lending; up 26% from 4Q06

 

  Fee and other income decreased $810 million including $331 million lower principal investing results from strong 3Q07 levels, $298 million increase in market disruption-related valuation losses, and lower overall investment banking activity; down $2.2 billion from 4Q06

(Please see page 25 for additional detail on market disruption-related losses)

 

   

Principal investing declined $331 million from 3Q07 levels which included a $270 million unrealized gain relating to the sale of a minority interest in a portion of our direct investment portfolio

 

   

Securities losses of $260 million vs. gains of $3 million in 3Q07 driven by market disruption-related impairments to subprime-related assets in structured products

 

   

Trading account losses of $763 million declined $243 million and included net market disruption-related valuation losses of $970 million in structured products vs. $629 million in 3Q07, partially offset by macro credit hedge gains

 

   

Advisory and underwriting revenue of $301 million decreased $90 million related to lower investment banking activity driven by declines in structured credit products and leveraged finance, partially offset by growth in advisory services, high grade and equities

 

   

Other income improved $122 million to a net loss of $396 million largely driven by a $188 million reduction in net market disruption-related valuation losses, partially offset by increases in other lower of cost or market valuation losses on loans held for sale

 

   

Provision expense increased $111 million driven by higher charge-offs on the commercial real estate portfolio

 

   

Expenses increased $337 million driven by growth in salaries and benefits on higher incentives and increased professional and consulting fees; down 5% from 4Q06

SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $350 MILLION, UP 27% AND UP 42% FROM 4Q06 INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF AGE

 

   

Revenue of $2.5 billion up 48%; up 56% from 4Q06 including $750 million relating to AGE

 

   

Net interest income rose 19% largely reflecting strong deposit growth including $5.4 billion of FDIC deposits from AGE somewhat offset by lower deposit spreads

 

   

Fee and other income increased $767 million, or 53%, largely reflecting the addition of $695 million from AGE and strength in retail brokerage managed account fees; up $841 million, or 61% from 4Q06

 

   

Results include a $17 million valuation loss relating to the 3Q07 purchase of certain asset-backed commercial paper from Evergreen money market funds compared with $40 million in 3Q07

 

   

Expenses increased $699 million, or 55% including $603 million of expenses from AGE, as well as higher legal costs and commissions; up 60% from 4Q06 largely reflecting merger activity

 

   

Assets under management decreased 4% largely reflecting a $10 billion outflow relating to a large institutional relationship which had a minimal effect on fees, as well as lower market valuations somewhat offset by the addition of $3.6 billion from AGE

 

   

Series 7 advisors increase of 6,216 largely reflects the addition of AGE

Retail Brokerage Transaction

The Retail Brokerage Services sub-segment results shown in the above table include 100% of the results of the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction, which is the combination of Wachovia and Prudential Financial’s retail brokerage operations. The entity is a consolidated subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation for GAAP purposes. Wachovia Corporation owned 62% of Wachovia Securities retail brokerage and Prudential Financial, Inc. owned 38% at December 31, 2007. Prudential Financial’s minority interest is included in minority interest reported in the Parent (see page 31) and in Wachovia Corporation’s consolidated statements of income on a GAAP basis, which differs from our segment reporting as noted on pages 1 and 16. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, Prudential Financial’s pre-tax minority interest on a GAAP basis was $72 million. This subsegment also includes 100% of the AGE retail brokerage business which had not been combined with the joint venture as of December 31, 2007. On January 1, 2008, Wachovia contributed the retail brokerage operations of A.G. Edwards to Wachovia Securities. This will dilute Prudential Financial’s minority interest in future periods, based on valuations of the combined business and the standalone business to be agreed upon by the parties.

The Retail Brokerage Services sub-segment results reported in the above table also include our Insurance Services business, as well as additional corporate allocations not included in the Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings results.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

This sub-segment consists of the mutual fund business and customized investment advisory services, including retirement services.

Wachovia 4Q07 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

EXPLANATION OF OUR USE OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this quarterly earnings report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those presented on pages 1 and 3 under the captions “Earnings Reconciliation”, and “Other Financial Measures”, with the sub-headings – “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses” — “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, and discontinued operations” and — “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization and discontinued operations”, and which are reconciled to GAAP financial measures on pages 34-37. In addition, in this quarterly earnings report certain designated net interest income amounts are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, including the calculation of the overhead efficiency ratio.

Wachovia believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of the company, its business and performance trends and facilitates comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Specifically, Wachovia believes the exclusion of merger-related and restructuring expenses and discontinued operations permits evaluation and a comparison of results for on-going business operations, and it is on this basis that Wachovia’s management internally assesses the company’s performance. Those non-operating items are excluded from Wachovia’s segment measures used internally to evaluate segment performance in accordance with GAAP because management does not consider them particularly relevant or useful in evaluating the operating performance of our business segments. In addition, because of the significant amount of deposit base intangible amortization, Wachovia believes the exclusion of this expense provides investors with consistent and meaningful comparisons to other financial services firms. Wachovia’s management makes recommendations to its board of directors about dividend payments based on reported earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization, discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, and has communicated certain dividend payout ratio goals to investors on this basis. Management believes this payout ratio is useful to investors because it provides investors with a better understanding of and permits investors to monitor Wachovia’s dividend payout policy. Wachovia also believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry standards. Wachovia operates one of the largest retail brokerage businesses in our industry, and we have presented an overhead efficiency ratio excluding these brokerage services, which management believes is useful to investors in comparing the performance of our banking business with other banking companies.

Although Wachovia believes the above non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures.

Edwards, Inc. completed on October 1, 2007 (the “A.G. Edwards Merger”), including future financial and operating results, cost savings, enhanced revenues and the accretion/dilution to reported earnings that may be realized from the A.G. Edwards Merger, (iii) statements relating to the benefits of the merger between Wachovia and Golden West Financial Corporation completed on October 1, 2006 (the “Golden West Merger”), including future financial and operating results, cost savings, enhanced revenues and the accretion/dilution to reported earnings that may be realized from the Golden West Merger, and (iv) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “projects”, “outlook” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of Wachovia’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond Wachovia’s control). Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause Wachovia’s financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements: (1) the risk that the applicable businesses in connection with the A.G. Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger will not be integrated successfully or such integrations may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (2) the risk that expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the A.G. Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (3) the risk that revenues following the A.G. Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger may be lower than expected; (4) deposit attrition, operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the A.G. Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger, including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, may be greater than expected; (5) the risk that the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which Wachovia conducts operations may be different than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including the resultant effect on Wachovia’s loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses; (6) the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (7) potential or actual litigation; (8) inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; (9) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets (including changes in interest rate conditions) and the impact of such conditions on Wachovia’s brokerage and capital markets activities; (10) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings or rulings; (11) the impact of changes in accounting principles; (12) adverse changes in financial performance and/or condition of Wachovia’s borrowers which could impact repayment of such borrowers’ outstanding loans; and (13) the impact on Wachovia’s businesses, as well as on the risks set forth above, of various domestic or international military or terrorist activities or conflicts.

Wachovia cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Wachovia, the A.G. Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger or other matters and attributable to Wachovia or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Wachovia does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral.
