(a)   See tables on pages 2 and 3 for reconciliation to earnings prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(b)   The tax-equivalent tax rate applies to fully tax-equivalized revenues.
(c)   The first quarter of 2003 is based on estimates.

 

KEY POINTS

 

·   Cash overhead efficiency ratio of 58%
·   Net interest margin remained stable at 3.86%
·   Average diluted share count lower primarily due to purchase of 14.7 million shares in connection with partial settlement of a forward purchase contract at a cost of $485 million and open market purchases of 450,000 shares totaling $15.7 million
·   FTE employees declined by 1,223 linked-quarter reflecting progress in merger integration
·   Financial centers/brokerage offices decreased by 29 largely due to 27 Georgia branch consolidations

KEY POINTS

 

·   Trading assets grew 11% primarily driven by growth in the interest rate products book and growth in the corporate bond warehouse
·   Commercial loans were down 2% or $2 billion largely due to continued low loan demand and the $563 million average effect of sale or transfer of loans to held for sale
    General Bank commercial loans grew $729 million or 3%, Corporate and Investment Bank loans declined $2.6 billion or 7%, and General Bank commercial real estate loans declined $511 million, or 2%
·   Consumer loans were up 12% or $6.7 billion; excluding an average $6 billion impact of largely 4Q02 net mortgage purchases, average consumer loans were up 1% reflecting real estate secured loan production
·   Low-cost core deposits up 4% linked-quarter and 16% from 1Q02 levels; total core deposits increased 1% from 4Q02 despite planned run-off of higher cost CDs

KEY POINTS

 

·   Fee and other income rose 5% from a weak 4Q02, largely driven by strength in trading and lower net principal investing losses, and was up 3% over 1Q02
·   Service charges increased 2% on strong growth in commercial fees
·   Commissions down $29 million or 6% on weak capital markets and subdued retail investor trading activity
·   Advisory, underwriting and other fees down 25% on weak equity and M&A activity levels
·   Trading account profits rebounded to $100 million from weak 4Q02 levels driven by mortgage option trading and convertible bond results as well as lower credit-related losses in fixed income

KEY POINTS

 

·   Expenses excluding net merger-related and restructuring expenses and intangible amortization decreased 2% from 4Q02 levels; up 1% excluding $72 million of 4Q02 expenses offset by tax benefits
·   Salaries and employee benefits increased 1%, largely due to higher pension costs as well as higher revenue-based incentives; 4Q02 results included $42 million of severance and non-recurring personnel costs
·   Equipment expenses lower largely due to elevated 4Q02 expenses relating to PC enhancements and company-wide technology infrastructure investments
·   Advertising increased $16 million relating to our increased branding activities

(a)   Includes $61 billion in assets managed for Wealth Management which are also reported in that segment.

 

KEY POINTS

 

·   Total revenues declined 2% reflecting continued downward pressure on market valuations and lower retail trading activity
    Strong annuity sales of $1.5 billion consistent with prior quarter, up 16% from $1.3 billion in 1Q02

 

·   Expenses remained relatively stable reflecting continued focus on cost control, despite increased pension expense, litigation costs, and investments in branding and technology infrastructure

 

·   Mutual fund assets remained stable as record net fluctuating fund sales offset money market outflows
    1Q03 net fluctuating fund sales of $3.2 billion fueled by strength in fixed income, including a $1 billion closed-end fund offering
    69% of Evergreen taxable fluctuating funds were in top two one-year Lipper quartiles vs. 61% in 1Q02

KEY POINTS

 

·   Segment earnings of $40 million remained flat linked-quarter

·   Fee and other income was down 1% as lower trust and investment management fees were partially offset by strong growth in insurance commissions
·   Expenses decreased 1% despite higher pension and benefits costs reflecting continued focus on cost control
·   Average loans up 3% linked-quarter and 11% from 1Q02; average core deposits up 3% linked-quarter and 8% from 1Q02

KEY POINTS

 

·   Segment earnings up 81% linked-quarter and up 36% from 1Q02

 

·   Total revenue up 18%, with stronger results in trading and lower net principal investing losses partially offset by lower net interest income and advisory and underwriting fees

 

·   Provision expense of $110 million included $25 million relating to the sale or transfer to loans held for sale of $368 million of exposure and declined $51 million from 4Q02 levels, which included $96 million relating to risk reduction strategies

 

·   Expenses rose 4% reflecting increased incentive compensation on higher earnings (4Q02 included $10 million of severance expenses)

 

·   Average loans decreased 7% on continued reductions in credit facility usage and 4Q02 loan sales and transfers to held for sale

 

·   Core deposits rose 5% linked-quarter and 11% from 1Q02 due to growth in commercial mortgage servicing and international trade finance

KEY POINTS

 

·   Total NPAs declined 3% and are expected to reflect a moderate downward trend going forward

 

·   Net charge-offs decreased 2% to $195 million, or 0.49% of average net loans, and contained no significant industry concentrations

 

·   Provision expense of $224 million included $25 million relating to the transfer of $368 million of exposure to loans held for sale and the sale of $169 million of corporate, commercial and consumer loans directly out of the portfolio

 

·   Allowance totaled $2.7 billion and declined $51 million largely due to the sale or transfer to held for sale of loans
    Allowance to loans declined to 1.67% reflecting improving mix in the loan portfolio and the addition of higher-quality consumer loans

 

    Allowance to nonperforming assets remained relatively stable at 160% from 161% in 4Q02

SUMMARY OPERATING RESULTS

 

Business segment results are presented excluding (i) merger-related and restructuring expenses, and (ii) deposit base intangible and other intangible amortization expense. 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. Several significant refinements have been incorporated for 2003. Business segment results have been restated for 2002 to reflect these changes.

 

In 1Q03, we incorporated cost methodology refinements to better align support costs to our business segments and product lines. The impact to segment earnings for full year 2002 as a result of these refinements was $(46) million for General Bank, $25 million for Capital Management, $(4) million for Wealth Management, $(3) million for Corporate and Investment Bank and $28 million for the Parent Segment. In addition, we have realigned the sub-segments of our Corporate and Investment Bank to better reflect the way we manage our corporate and investment banking businesses and to provide more clarity about the relative market sensitivity of the businesses. This realignment does not affect results for the Corporate and Investment Bank in aggregate.

 

In 4Q02 we completed our annual review of the assumptions related to the accounting for our pension plan obligations. For 2003, we are using an expected rate of return of 8.5%, compared to 10.0% in 2002; and a discount rate of 6.75%, compared to 7.25% in 2002. The changes in these rates, along with the impact of other changes in actuarial assumptions and plan amendments, will increase pension expense in 2003 compared to 2002 by $89 million, before consideration of any 2003 company contributions to the plans. These assumptions are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Pension expense in 1Q03 was $26 million compared to $3 million in 4Q02.

 

In 3Q02, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options effective for grants made in 2002 and thereafter. Under this method, expense is measured as the fair value of the stock options as of the grant date and the expense is recognized evenly over the vesting period. Assuming we were to continue our stock option grants at comparable levels for the next three years and assuming all fair value and vesting assumptions and outstanding shares remain unchanged, the after-tax impact on net income available to common stockholders and diluted earnings per share would be approximately $87 million, or $0.07, in 2003; $137 million, or $0.10, in 2004; and $150 million, or $0.11, in 2005. The impact in 2005 represents the ongoing annual impact given the assumptions stated above. The impact in 1Q03 was $19 million, or $0.01.

Net interest income increased 2% from 4Q02, primarily due to low-cost core deposit growth and growth in earning assets. Net interest margin of 3.86% was flat vs. 4Q02. The effect of refinancings and prepayments associated with a flattening of the yield curve and reinvestment in shorter duration assets narrowed spreads.

Wachovia 1Q03 Quarterly Earnings Report


 

 

In order to maintain our targeted interest rate risk profile, derivative positions are used to hedge the repricing risk inherent in balance sheet positions. The contribution of hedge-related derivatives, primarily on fixed rate debt, fixed rate consumer deposits, and floating rate loans, offsets effects on income from balance sheet positions. In 1Q03, net hedge-related derivative income contributed 49 bps to the net interest margin vs. 42 bps in 4Q02.

 

Average securities increased $867 million, due to purchases of assets in advance of anticipated 2Q03 prepayments.

 

Trading assets increased $1.6 billion, primarily driven by growth in the interest rate products book and growth in the corporate bond warehouse.

 

Average loans were up 3% vs. 4Q02. Average commercial loans were down $2.0 billion or 2% due to lower loan demand and credit facilities usage and transfers and sales of loans; excluding the latter, commercial loans were down $1.5 billion. Average consumer loans were up 12%, or $6.7 billion. Linked-quarter average comparisons benefited from net residential loan purchases of $1.2 billion in 1Q03 and $8.0 billion in 4Q02 (positive $6 billion on averages, excluding $564 million in mortgage runoff). There were no significant 4Q02 or 1Q03 sales, securitizations, or transfers of consumer loans. Excluding the positive effect of an average $6 billion in net purchases, consumer loans were up $720 million or 1% reflecting solid consumer home equity production.

 

Average core deposits increased 1% vs. 4Q02 as continued strong low-cost core deposit growth of 4% partially offset CD run-off. Seasonality and continued customer preferences for liquidity contributed to the increase. Average demand deposits, money market, interest checking and savings deposits grew a combined $4.4 billion, while average consumer time deposits decreased by $2.2 billion. Foreign and other time deposits declined $744 million vs. 4Q02, as growth in low-cost core deposits reduced wholesale funding needs. The following table provides additional period-end balance sheet data.

FEE AND OTHER INCOME

 

(See Table on Page 6)

Fee and other income increased 5% vs. 4Q02. The effects of strong trading results in fixed income and equity- linked products as well as lower net principal investing losses were partially offset by lower market-related income from a relatively strong 4Q02 as well as lower securitization income. Fees represented 45% of total revenue in 1Q03 vs. 44% in 4Q02.

 

Service charges increased 2% from a relatively weak 4Q02 due to stronger DDA commercial service charges.

 

Other banking fees declined 1% due to lower mortgage volume.

 

Commissions declined 6% from 4Q02 largely due to lower retail trading activity.

 

Fiduciary and asset management fees were relatively flat vs. 4Q02. Assets under management increased $1 billion to $233 billion and mutual fund assets of $113 billion matched 4Q02 levels, as strong net fund flows offset the effects of lower equity asset valuations.

 

Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees decreased 25% from a relatively strong 4Q02, primarily due to weaker equity and M&A market activity.

 

Trading profits of $100 million increased $142 million vs. 4Q02 losses of $42 million. Improved trading results were primarily due to increased contribution from mortgage option trading activities and strong performance in convertible bonds, as well as lower credit-related losses in fixed income. Trading profits also included $2 million in trading account losses on credit default swaps hedging loan exposure compared to $23 million in 4Q02, as well as $31 million in 1Q03 losses related to liquidity agreements we have with one of the conduits administered by the Company compared to $25 million in 4Q02.

 

Principal investing recorded net losses of $44 million compared to net losses of $105 million in 4Q02. A reduction in fund losses was primarily responsible for the improvement.

 

Net securities gains were $37 million in 1Q03, including $46 million in impairment losses, vs. $46 million in 4Q02, including $47 million in impairment losses.

 

Other income decreased $25 million vs. 4Q02. 1Q03 mortgage sale and securitization income was $78 million vs. $77 million in 4Q02. Home equity sale and securitization income was $28 million in 1Q03 vs. $91 million in 4Q02. Net gains from market valuation adjustments on and sales of loans held for sale were $36 million in 1Q03 vs. $24 million in 4Q02. Revenue from other corporate investments declined $18 million due to lower market values. Affordable housing amortization expense decreased to $20 million from $54 million in 4Q02.

 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

 

(See Table on Page 7)

 

Noninterest expense declined 5% vs. 4Q02. Excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses of $64 million in 1Q03 and $145 million in 4Q02, expenses declined 2% vs. 4Q02. (See page 35 for more information.) Intangible amortization was $140 million in 1Q03 vs. $147 million in 4Q02. $128 million of amortization expense represents amortization of deposit base intangibles and $12 million represents amortization of other intangibles.

 

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 1% vs. 4Q02. 1Q03 pension expense increased due to pension assumption adjustments and incentives increased on higher revenue production. These increases were partially offset by 4Q02 severance and nonrecurring personnel costs totaling $42 million. Equipment expense decreased $21 million, primarily due to 4Q02 expenses related to investments in branch infrastructure technology and software. Advertising expense increased $16 million, due to increased branding activities. Professional and consulting fees were down $27 million, due primarily to higher seasonal billing experienced in 4Q02. Sundry expense decreased $30 million with no significant expense category driving the decrease.

Net interest income decreased 1% as a result of 4 bps decline in deposit margin and seasonality, partially offset by strong growth in low-cost core deposits and consumer loans. Average core deposits grew 1% reflecting continued strong low-cost core deposits growth of 4%, driven by strength in Money Market, and Interest Checking, offset by a 6% decline in CDs. Loans increased 8% due to increased mortgage, prime equity, and home equity line balances, as well as small business growth.

 

Fee and other income fell 4% primarily due to lower mortgage banking origination fee income. 1Q03 mortgage results included $31 million in net gains on $5.2 billion in mortgage deliveries to agencies/private investors and $28 million in gains on flow servicing sales. 4Q02 mortgage results included $40 million in net gains on $5.5 billion in mortgage deliveries and $18 million in gains on flow servicing sales. Service charges fell 4% versus 4Q02. Though debit card banking fees continued to show strong sales momentum, with volume up 10% over 4Q02, this growth was offset by a decline in ATM transaction fees.

 

Noninterest expense declined 3% with savings across the board on strong expense controls and lower volume-driven incentive costs. Excluding 4Q02 nonrecurring personnel expenses of $12 million, expenses declined 2%.

Net interest income fell 3% as a result of seasonal declines coupled with compressed deposit margins. Average loans were up slightly, with modestly higher demand among commercial borrowers offset by declines in commercial real estate lending. Average core deposits increased 3% on strength in DDA, Interest Checking and Money Market deposits.

 

Fee and other income increased 12% to $95 million on seasonal growth in service charges.

 

Expenses declined 3% across the board, reflective of strong expense controls.

Expenses declined 1% from 4Q02 levels despite higher sales costs associated with record gross fluctuating fund sales of $6.3 billion, a 16% increase from 4Q02.

Broker client assets held steady at 4Q02 levels despite lower valuations in equities markets. The number of brokerage accounts at 3.4 million was unchanged.

 

Capital Management Eliminations

 

In addition to the above sub-segments, Capital Management results include eliminations among business units. Certain brokerage commissions earned on mutual fund sales by our brokerage sales force are eliminated and deferred in the consolidation of Capital Management reported results. In 1Q03, brokerage revenue and expense eliminations were $10 million and $11 million, respectively, and had no material effect on this segment’s earnings.

Net interest income was flat versus 4Q02. Strong loan sales and core deposit growth offset a modest decline in the margin. Loan growth was driven by a 5% rise in commercial loans. Core deposit growth of 3% was driven by growth in CAP and money market balances.

 

Fee and other income declined 1% from 4Q02. This decrease was driven by a 7% decline in trust and investment management fees, caused by weak equity markets and lower nonrecurring fees. The decline in trust and investment management fees was largely offset by a 10% rise in insurance commissions, driven by strong production in commercial property & casualty insurance.

 

Noninterest expense was down 1% as strong expense control more than offset higher pension and benefit costs.

Net interest income declined 10% on lower loan outstandings, primarily in the corporate loan portfolio and asset-based lending. Average loan outstandings declined $2.4 billion or 7% due to continued reduction in credit facility usage, cancellations/reduction of loan facilities by large borrowers, and the 4Q02 quarter-end transfer of $400 million in loans to loans held for sale.

 

Fee and other income increased $44 million, or 40%, driven by increased leasing and asset-based lending results, higher gains on loans held for sale, and lower losses on credit default swaps. Gains on loans held for sale were $42 million versus $14 million in 4Q02 and securities losses in 1Q03 were $7 million. Trading results included losses on credit default swaps hedging risk in the loan portfolio and were $2 million versus $23 million in 4Q02.

 

Provision expense was $103 million in 1Q03 vs. $160 million in 4Q02. 1Q03 included $26 million relating to $368 million of exposure transferred to held for sale, compared to 4Q02 transfers of $578 million resulting in $96 million of provision. The 1Q03 exposure transferred was written down to a carrying value of 81% of par. Provision expense was $77 million excluding the transfers compared to $64 million in 4Q02.

 

Expenses increased 10% reflecting higher incentives expense tied to increased revenue and lower loan provision expense.

 

Economic capital declined 6%, or $254 million, primarily due to the continued decline in loan exposures and improved credit quality.

Net interest income increased 4% on 19% deposit growth, primarily in commercial mortgage servicing.

 

Fee and other income increased to $282 million, up $80 million or 40%. Results were driven by strength in both Fixed Income and Equity Linked Products trading. These results more than offset reduced Affordable Housing revenue from the seasonally strong 4Q02, as well as weaker equity capital markets and M&A fee income.

 

Securities losses and trading profits are included in Fee and Other Income. Securities losses in high yield and asset securitization were $12 million in 1Q03 vs. $34 million in 4Q02. Trading profits were $117 million versus a loss of $19 million in 4Q02.

 

Expenses increased 4% driven by higher revenue-based incentives.

Net interest income decreased 6% due to the effect of lower interest rates attributable to deposit balances. The average loan decline of $196 million in International Trade Finance was driven by seasonally lower trade finance volumes. Deposits grew 1%.

 

Fee and other income increased to $178 million from $166 million, driven by Treasury Services seasonality.

 

The Treasury Services business is managed in the Corporate and Investment Bank. Product revenues and earnings are also realized in other business lines within the Company, including the General Bank and Wealth Management. Total treasury services product revenues for the Company were $516 million in 1Q03.

Principal investing net losses in 1Q03 were $44 million, consisting of $45 million of gross gains and $89 million in gross losses. Net losses were attributable to both our direct investment portfolio and our investments in private equity funds, which accounted for $20 million and $24 million of net losses respectively. Net losses were lower than the $105 million net loss in 4Q02 primarily due to reduced fund losses in 1Q03. The carrying value of the principal investing portfolio at the end of 1Q03 remains unchanged from 4Q02 at $2.1 billion. The portfolio at the end of 1Q03 was invested as follows: 58% direct investments (33% direct equity, 25% mezzanine) and 42% fund investments.

Net interest income increased $108 million vs. 4Q02. The increase was due to increased income from hedge-related derivative positions and higher loan and deposit balances. Average loans increased $2.1 billion, primarily related to the purchase of mortgages for investment purposes in 4Q02 and 1Q03. Average core deposits increased $174 million.

 

Fee and other income declined $73 million vs. 4Q02. Securities gains of $59 million compared to $85 million in 4Q02. Mortgage and home equity securitization income of $49 million compared to $110 million in 4Q02. Trading losses of $18 million compared to a $1 million loss in 4Q02 and included $31 million in write-downs related to liquidity agreements we have with one of the conduits administered by the Company. Affordable Housing write-downs in Investment Banking are recorded in fee and other income net of the related tax benefit. This treatment is eliminated in the Parent for consolidated reporting purposes. Due to normal seasonality, this elimination reduced Parent fee and other income by $37 million in 1Q03 compared to $105 million in 4Q02.

 

Expenses decreased $35 million vs. 4Q02, primarily the result of higher technology expense in 4Q02 and a $7 million reduction in intangible amortization expense.

ASSET QUALITY

 

(See Table on Page 13)

 

Net loan losses in the loan portfolio decreased 2% to $195 million, lowering the net charge-off ratio to 0.49% of average net loans from 0.52% in 4Q02. Gross charge-offs were $245 million offset by $50 million in recoveries.

 

Provision for loan losses totaled $224 million and included provision of $25 million related to the transfer to loans held for sale of $258 million of higher risk large corporate loans and sale of $169 million of commercial and consumer loans out of the loan portfolio.

 

Allowance for loan losses of $2.7 billion, or 1.67% of net loans, declined by $51 million from 4Q02. The decline was related to $55 million in allowance associated with $427 million of loans that were transferred to held for sale or sold.

 

The allowance to nonperforming loans ratio decreased modestly to 172% from 177% in 4Q02, and the allowance to nonperforming assets ratio (excluding NPAs in loans held for sale) remained relatively stable at 160% versus the prior quarter’s 161%.

 

NONPERFORMING LOANS

 

(See Table on Page 14)

 

Nonperforming loans in the loan portfolio increased $9 million on a linked-quarter basis and totaled $1.6 billion. Total nonperforming assets decreased 3% to $1.8 billion.

 

New inflows to the commercial nonaccrual portfolio decreased 20% to $386 million compared to the prior quarter’s $485 million. Payments reduced nonperforming commercial loan balances by approximately 13% of beginning 1Q03 nonperforming commercial loan balances. In the quarter, $70 million in nonperforming commercial loans and $16 million of nonperforming consumer loans were sold directly out of the loan portfolio.

 

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

 

(See Table on Page 15)

 

Core Business Activity

 

In 1Q03, a net $8.5 billion of loans were originated for sale representing core business activity. We sold or securitized a total of $6.5 billion of loans out of the loans held for sale portfolio. All loans sold were performing.

 

Portfolio Management Activity

 

During the quarter, we transferred $368 million of higher risk corporate exposure to held for sale including $258 million of outstandings and $110 million of additional exposure. $256 million of the loans transferred were performing loans. This exposure was marked to a carrying value of 81% of par. During the quarter, we sold $198 million of commercial loans out of held for sale, $51 million of these commercial loans were nonperforming.

MERGER INTEGRATION UPDATE

 

ESTIMATED MERGER EXPENSES

 

In connection with the Wachovia merger, we have been recording certain merger-related and restructuring expenses. These expenses will be reflected in our income statement. In addition, we recorded purchase accounting adjustments to reflect former Wachovia’s assets and liabilities at their respective fair values as of September 1, 2001, and to reflect certain exit costs related to the former Wachovia. The purchase accounting adjustments as of September 1, 2002, were final.

 

In 4Q02 we began recording former Wachovia exit costs as merger-related and restructuring expenses in our income statement.

 

For the 12-month period following the consummation of the merger, these expenses were recorded as purchase accounting adjustments, and accordingly had the effect of increasing goodwill.

 

At the time of the merger announcement, management indicated that we would incur an estimated $1.45 billion of merger expenses. This figure was subsequently adjusted to $1.525 billion to reflect $75 million of additional expenses incurred by former Wachovia and First Union in conjunction with a hostile takeover bid. This amount included merger-related and restructuring expenses reflected in the income statement as well as purchase accounting adjustments for certain exit costs. Management now expects total merger expenses in connection with the merger to be $110-$125 million less than previously expected.

 

The following table indicates our progress compared with the estimated merger expenses.

(a)   These adjustments represent incremental expenses related to combining the two companies and are specifically attributable to the former Wachovia. Examples include employee termination costs, employee relocation costs, contract cancellations including leases and closing redundant former Wachovia facilities. These adjustments are reflected in goodwill and are not charges against income.

 

During the quarter, we recorded merger expenses totaling $70 million and have recorded a cumulative total of $885 million. Total actual expenses are the sum of total First Union/Wachovia merger-related and restructuring expenses as reported in the following Merger-Related, Restructuring and Other Expenses table and Total exit cost purchase accounting adjustments (one-time costs) as detailed in the Goodwill and Other Intangibles Created by the First Union/Wachovia Merger table on the following page.

(a)   These adjustments represent fair value adjustments in compliance with business combination accounting standards and adjust assets and liabilities of the former Wachovia to their fair values as of September 1, 2001.
(b)   These adjustments represent incremental costs relating to combining the two organizations which are specifically related to the former Wachovia.

 

In accordance with purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of the former Wachovia were recorded at their respective fair values as of September 1, 2001, as if they had been individually purchased in the open market. The premiums and discounts that resulted from the purchase accounting are accreted/amortized into income/expense over the estimated term of the respective assets and liabilities, much like the purchase of a bond at a premium or discount. This results in a market yield in the income statement for those assets and liabilities. Assuming a stable market environment from the date of purchase, we would expect that as these assets and liabilities mature, they could generally be replaced with instruments of similar yields.
