THIRD QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

3Q07 vs. 2Q07

 

 

Earnings of $ 1.7 billion down 28% and 10% from 3Q06; EPS of $0.89 down 27% and 24% from 3Q06

 

  Excluding net merger-related and restructuring expenses, EPS of $0.90 down 27% and 24% from 3Q06

 

 

Underlying momentum in traditional banking businesses masked by significant fixed income market disruption largely reflected in the Corporate and Investment Bank and Capital Management

Revenues of $7.3 billion declined 16% from record 2Q07 and rose 4% from 3Q06; down 12% from Combined 3Q06

 

  Net interest income up 2% despite modest margin decline of 2 bps to 2.92%

 

   

Results reflect the benefit of a $22.8 billion increase in earning assets and improving loan spreads, and the shift in deposits into lower spread categories

 

  Fee income decreased $1.4 billion largely on lower market valuations reflecting the market disruption despite strong principal investing results, service charges and fiduciary and asset management fees

 

  Results include a benefit of $249 million after-tax due to correction of errors primarily relating to earlier periods in 2007 that are immaterial to 3Q07 and prior periods

 

 

Other noninterest expense decreased $475 million, or 10%, driven by substantially lower salaries and benefits expense largely reflecting lower revenue-based incentives and overall expense discipline

 

 

Average loans up 2% and 53% from 3Q06; up 6% from Combined 3Q06

 

  Reflects commercial loan growth of 6% somewhat offset by a modest decline in consumer loans reflecting loan sale and securitization activity, which masked organic growth of 2%

 

 

Average core deposits were relatively stable and grew 30% from 3Q06; up 6% from Combined 3Q06

 

  Strong momentum in CDs and money market as well as strong DDA sales

 

 

Nonperforming assets increased $881 million, to $3.0 billion or 63 bps of loans

 

 

Net charge-offs of $206 million, or 19 bps of loans, reflecting higher losses in auto and consumer real estate

 

 

Provision expense of $408 million

 

 

Effective tax rate of 28.80% largely reflects lower income levels

 

 

Estimated tangible capital ratio of 4.6% and leverage ratio of 6.1%; repurchased 4 million shares during the quarter

 

 

A.G. Edwards acquisition closed on October 1; integration on track; first World Savings system conversion successfully completed in Western region

KEY POINTS

 

   

Net interest income increased $97 million, or 2%, as the benefit of strong earning asset growth of $22.8 billion, improving loan spreads and a $39 million benefit from the reversal of amortization of deferred loan costs incorrectly recorded earlier in 2007, were somewhat offset by the continued shift to lower spread deposits, increased liquidity levels in response to the market disruption, and higher funding costs; up 28% from 3Q06 driven by the addition of Golden West

KEY POINTS

 

   

Cash overhead efficiency ratio of 57.83%

 

   

Net interest margin of 2.92%, down 2 bps, largely reflecting strong earning asset growth, including short-term investments resulting from funding retained for liquidity purposes in response to the market disruption, and higher levels of wholesale spreads; the reversal of deferred loan cost amortization also benefited the margin 2 bps

 

   

Effective tax rate of 28.80% reflects lower earnings as well as the impact of increased international activity

 

   

Estimated tangible capital ratio of 4.6%

 

   

Average diluted shares down 9 million reflecting the net effect of employee stock option and restricted share activity, 3Q07 repurchases of 4 million shares at an average cost of $48.07 per share and the effect of 2Q07 repurchases

 

   

FTEs declined by 769

KEY POINTS

 

   

Trading assets increased $3.6 billion, or 10%, largely reflecting growth in structured product warehouses

 

   

Securities up $3.0 billion, or 3% on the effect of investing excess liquidity in overnight commercial paper; down 9% from Combined 3Q06 on the sale of $13.2 billion of securities relating to Golden West

 

   

Commercial loans increased $9.2 billion, or 6%, on strength in large corporate, foreign, middle-market and business banking, and commercial real estate portfolios; period-end commercial loans up $14.2 billion

 

   

Consumer loans decreased $616 million as a $1.3 billion increase in real estate was more than offset by the transfer of $2.0 billion of student loans and $1.6 billion of credit card loans to held for sale; increased $124.6 billion from 3Q06 driven by the addition of Golden West; period-end consumer loans up $5.9 billion

 

  Consumer loans up 1% from Combined 3Q06 as underlying growth of 6% was offset by the $13.8 billion average effect of securitization/sale activity

 

   

Loans held for sale up $2.6 billion largely on the transfer of $2.0 billion of student loans and $1.6 billion of credit card loans; securitized/sold $11.6 billion and originated $13.0 billion of loans into held for sale during the quarter

 

  Period-end loans held for sale of $21.4 billion

 

   

Other earning assets up $5.1 billion reflecting higher liquidity levels in interest-bearing bank balances and fed funds sold

 

   

Short-term borrowings up $7.3 billion, or 13%, and long-term debt up $7.7 billion, or 5%, reflecting significantly increased liquidity profile in response to market disruption

 

   

Core deposits increased $513 million, as growth in retail CDs, money market and foreign was somewhat offset by declines in DDA and savings; up 30% from 3Q06 driven by the impact of Golden West; Core deposits up $23.1 billion, or 6%, from Combined 3Q06

 

  Results reflect a $3.6 billion sweep of commercial DDAs to money market which had no effect on net interest income; non-sweep average DDAs relatively stable

KEY POINTS

 

   

Fee and other income down 34% and 20% from 3Q06 driven by significant market disruption in fixed income and other market-related fees which more than offset growth in principal investing, service charges, and fiduciary and asset management fees

 

   

Service charges up 3%; rose 8% from 3Q06

 

  Consumer service charges up 5%

 

  Commercial service charges relatively stable with strong 2Q07 levels

 

   

Other banking fees down 13% as a 5% increase in interchange and other banking fees was more than offset by lower mortgage banking income as mortgage servicing rights valuations decreased $85 million to a loss of $31 million from a gain of $54 million in 2Q07 (related hedging gains reflected in other income); up 2% from 3Q06

 

  Down 3% from Combined 3Q06 as higher interchange fees were more than offset by lower mortgage banking income including the effect of the HomEq divestiture

 

   

Commissions decreased $49 million on a $30 million decline in brokerage, largely due to lower equity syndicate activity, and a $19 million decline in insurance; increased 7% from 3Q06

 

   

Fiduciary and asset management fees grew 1% driven by growth in retail brokerage managed account fees and trust fees

 

   

Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees decreased 13% on weakness in high grade, equities and loan syndications, somewhat offset by improvement in structured credit products

 

  Up 35% from 3Q06 driven by structured products, M&A and equities

 

   

Trading account results declined $632 million largely reflecting significant market valuation losses in structured products and high yield relating to the market disruption somewhat offset by a $232 million gain relating to a correction of a 2Q07 error in application of hedge accounting on certain variable rate demand deposits as well as improvement in high grade and equity

 

   

Principal investing net gains of $372 million rose $74 million as a $270 million unrealized gain was somewhat offset by lower results in the public portfolio; up $281 million from 3Q06

 

   

Securities losses of $34 million included a $40 million valuation loss associated with the purchase of certain asset- backed commercial paper from Evergreen money market funds

 

   

Other income decreased $687 million as a $523 million reduction relating to commercial mortgage-related sale/securitization activity and a $334 million valuation loss on leveraged finance commitments were somewhat offset by a $79 million increase in certain credit-related hedge gains, and a $50 million improvement in consumer loan-related sale/securitization activity largely relating to mortgage servicing rights hedging gains, and a $37 million gain relating to a correction of prior period hedge accounting ineffectiveness

KEY POINTS

 

   

Other noninterest expense decreased 10% driven by lower salaries and employee benefits expense and declines in virtually all categories

 

  3Q07 results include $22 million relating to efficiency initiative spending and $40 million associated with growth initiatives including de novo and branch consolidations and Western expansion

 

   

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 16% driven by a $487 million reduction in revenue-based incentives; increased 4% from 3Q06 including the addition of Golden West

 

  Down 4% from Combined 3Q06 on lower revenue-based incentives, somewhat offset by increased salaries expense largely relating to growth initiatives

 

   

Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $32 million

 

   

Sundry expense rose 15% and included higher legal costs

SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $1.4 BILLION, UP 3% AND 33% FROM 3Q06

 

   

Revenue of $4.5 billion rose 2%; up 30% from 3Q06 driven by Golden West and strong loan and deposit growth; up 3% from Combined 3Q06

 

  Net interest income increased $89 million, or 3%, reflecting loan growth as well as the benefit of improving loan and deposit spreads

 

  Fees were stable as strength in service charges and interchange fees was offset by lower mortgage banking income as well as lower branch sale gains

 

   

Expenses down $20 million, or 1%, driven by lower revenue-based incentives and salaries expense, and overall expense discipline, partially offset by higher loan costs

 

  Reflects $19 million due to de novo and branch consolidation costs and $21 million relating to Western expansion

 

   

Average loans up 1% and up 83% from 3Q06 reflecting merger activity; loans up 4% from Combined 3Q06

 

  Commercial loans up 2% driven by growth in middle-market and business banking

 

  Consumer loans relatively stable, up $1.6 billion, as growth in auto, consumer real estate and credit card was largely offset by the effect of the 2Q07 quarter-end transfer of $2.0 billion of student loans to held for sale

 

   

Average core deposits were relatively stable, as strength in CDs and money market was modestly offset by declines in savings and DDA and up 39% from 3Q06 reflecting merger activity; up 6% from Combined 3Q06

 

  Retail net new checking account sales of 255,000, including 20,500 in World Savings network, compared with 37,000 in 2Q07

 

   

Opened 37 de novo branches during the quarter; including 7 branches in California; consolidated 17 branches

 

   

First World Savings Western system conversion successfully completed; 214 branches converted

SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $105 MILLION, DOWN 86% AND 80% FROM 3Q06

 

   

Revenue of $819 million decreased $1.4 billion and $857 million from 3Q06

 

  Net interest income up $64 million, or 8%, on very strong loan growth and higher structured product warehouse balances

 

  Fee and other income decreased $1.5 billion as strong principal investing results were more than offset by the effects of lower market valuations in structured products and leveraged finance and lower overall market activity

 

   

Net market disruption related valuation losses totaled $1.3 billion

 

   

Principal investing results largely reflect a $270 million unrealized gain somewhat offset by lower valuations on the public portfolio

 

   

Expenses decreased 39% driven by lower revenue-based incentives and other expense reductions; down 22% from 3Q06

 

   

Average loans rose 8% on strength in large corporate lending, international trade finance, real estate capital markets and asset-based lending; up 17% from 3Q06

SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $275 MILLION, DOWN 5% AND UP 19% FROM 3Q06

 

   

Revenue of $1.7 billion declined 5%; up 14% from 3Q06

 

  Net interest income rose 3% reflecting improved deposit spreads

 

  Fee and other income decreased 6% as growth in retail brokerage managed account fees was more than offset by securities losses, lower retail brokerage transaction activity and lower performance-based asset management fees

 

   

Securities losses reflect a $40 million valuation loss relating to the purchase of certain asset-backed commercial paper from Evergreen money market funds

 

   

Expenses decreased 4% largely reflecting lower salaries, incentives and overall expense discipline

 

   

Assets under management increased 1% driven by money market fund inflows and higher market valuations

 

   

Increased series 7 advisors to 8,391 reflecting strong recruiting and retention efforts

 

   

A. G. Edwards acquisition closed on October 1; integration on track

Wachovia 3Q07 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 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. 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. 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 $617 million decrease in the General Bank, a $29 million increase in Wealth Management, a $491 million increase in the Corporate and Investment Bank, a $20 million decrease in Capital Management and a $117 million increase in the Parent.

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 rising rate environment, Wachovia benefits from a widening spread between deposit costs and wholesale funding costs. However, our FTP system credits this benefit to deposit-providing business units on a lagged basis. The effect of the FTP system is increasing charges to business units for funding to support predominantly floating-rate assets. This benefit of higher rates earned on floating-rate assets and lagging rates on longer duration deposits is captured in the central money book in the Parent.

Results for the quarter include a $249 million after-tax benefit related to correction of errors primarily in prior periods in 2007. Wachovia’s management believes that this impact is not material to current or prior period financial statements, and the Audit Committee of Wachovia’s Board of Directors, based on information reviewed by management with the Committee, concurs with management’s conclusion.

These errors include $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 or $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. The FSP required 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 has been 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 Staff Position 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 Insurance—Determining 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. We remain well capitalized for regulatory capital purposes following the reduction to retained earnings relating to the affected leases. 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 measurement and provides new income recognition criteria for certain derivative contracts. SFAS 157 does not establish any new fair value measurements itself, but applies under 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 January 1, 2008, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2007. We will adopt these standards on January 1, 2008, and are currently assessing the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The effect of adopting SFAS 157 will be recorded either directly to results of operations in 1Q08 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 fair value is being applied. The transition adjustment for SFAS 159 will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2008.

In May 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide ‘Investment Companies’ and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies.” This new standard provides guidance for determining whether an entity is an “investment company,” as defined, and whether the applicable specialized industry accounting principles for investment companies should be retained in the parent company in consolidation or in the consolidated financial statements of an equity method investor. SOP 07-1 is effective on January 1, 2008; however, the FASB is expected to issue a proposal to delay the effective date indefinitely. We continue to assess the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On October 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Golden West Financial Corporation, a California-based financial services company, and its results are included in our consolidated financial results beginning in 4Q06.

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 will be combined with Wachovia Securities and the combined firm will have a national footprint of 3,350 brokerage locations, including 1,500 dedicated retail offices in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, $1.1 trillion in client assets and nearly 15,000 financial advisors. The brokerage organization will be 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. Its results will be included in our consolidated results beginning in 4Q07.

Net interest income of $4.6 billion increased 2%, or $97 million, as the benefit of strong earning assets growth of $22.8 billion, improving loan spreads and deposit growth was somewhat offset by the continued shift to lower spread deposits, increased liquidity levels in response to the market disruption, higher funding spreads as well as increases in nonaccrual loans. Net interest income grew 28% from 3Q06 largely driven by the addition of Golden West. Net interest income in 3Q07 includes a $39 million benefit resulting from the correction of an error in 1Q07 and 2Q07 amortization of deferred loan costs on certain of our mortgage products.

Net interest margin of 2.92% decreased 2 bps as the benefit of improving consumer loan spreads was more than offset by growth in lower spread other earning assets and wholesale funding including the effects of increased liquidity. The continued shift in deposit mix to lower spread categories and increasing nonaccrual loans further depressed the margin. The margin decreased 11 bps from 3Q06 on growth in lower spread consumer loans driven by the acquisition of Golden West as well as lower spread commercial loans and securities and a shift in deposits toward lower spread categories. Net interest margin decreased 7 bps from Combined 3Q06.

Average trading assets increased 10%, or $3.6 billion, largely reflecting growth in structured product warehouses. Average securities rose $3.0 billion, or 3%, and decreased $10.7 billion from 3Q06, largely reflecting the 3Q06 and 4Q06 sale of a total of $13.2 billion of securities relating to the Golden West merger. The average duration of the securities portfolio decreased to 3.5 years from 4.0 years in 2Q07 largely reflecting growth in variable rate securities.

Average loans rose $8.5 billion, or 2%, as growth in commercial, foreign, consumer real estate and auto was somewhat offset by declines in student loans and credit card, driven by sale and securitization activity and transfers to held for sale. Loans increased $148.7 billion, or 53%, from 3Q06 driven by the acquisition of Golden West and other growth. Average loans rose 6% from Combined 3Q06, driven by a 16% increase in commercial and a 1% increase in consumer.

Average commercial loans grew $9.2 billion, or 6%, on strength in large corporate, foreign, middle-market and business banking, and commercial real estate somewhat offset by the $197 million average effect of 2Q07 and 3Q07 loan sales. Commercial loans grew $24 billion, or 16%, from 3Q06 on strength in foreign, large corporate, middle-market and business banking, and commercial real estate, somewhat offset by a $1.4 billion decline in lease financing from the adoption of FAS 13-2 in 1Q07 as well as the $1.1 billion average effect of loan sale and securitization activity.

        Average consumer loans were down $616 million, as growth of $1.3 billion in real estate and $972 million in auto was more than offset by declines in student loans and credit card. The decline in consumer loans was driven by the $5.7 billion average effect of 3Q07 loan sale and securitization activity and transfers to held for sale, including the sale or securitization of $2.2 billion in consumer real estate and $159 million of student loans, and the transfer of $1.6 billion of credit card receivables to held for sale, as well as the ongoing effect of 2Q07 sales/securitizations and transfers. Average consumer loans grew $124.6 billion from 3Q06 largely driven by the Golden West acquisition. Average consumer loans grew $1.8 billion, or 1%, from Combined 3Q06 driven by growth in real estate, auto and credit card partially offset by the $13.8 billion average effect of loan sale and securitization activity including $8.3 billion of consumer real estate, $4.6 billion of student loans and $1.5 billion of auto loans.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY

In 3Q07, we sold or securitized $93 million in consumer loans out of the portfolio and transferred $1.6 billion in credit card to loans held for sale compared with $2.8 billion of consumer loans sold/securitized in 2Q07. We sold $122 million of commercial loans in 3Q07, of which $107 million were performing, compared with $259 million sold in 2Q07, of which $218 million were performing.

(a) Lower of cost or market value adjustments exclude amounts related to unfunded commitments.
(b) Nonperforming assets included in loans held for sale at September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2007 and at December 31 and September 30, 2006, were $59 million, $42 million, $26 million, $16 million and $23 million, respectively.

Average loans held for sale increased $2.6 billion, or 15%, driven by the late 2Q07 transfer of $2.0 billion of student loans and the early 3Q07 transfer of $1.6 billion of credit card loans out of the loan portfolio and lower securitization activity due to the market disruption.

Period end loans held for sale increased $3.7 billion to $21.4 billion. Core business activity loans held for sale of $17.6 billion increased $2.0 billion largely on the addition of $1.6 billion of credit card and a $660 million increase in loan syndication positions. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale declined modestly as decreases in fixed-rate loans were largely offset by the addition of variable-rate loans. Portfolio management activity loans held for sale increased $1.7 billion reflecting the addition of commercial loans from a structured lending vehicle that we consolidated in 3Q07. In 3Q07, we sold/securitized $6.6 billion of commercial loans and $5.0 billion of consumer real estate loans. In 3Q07, we originated $16.5 billion of consumer mortgages and delivered $5.0 billion to agencies/privates.

Average other earning assets increased 22% and 12% from 3Q06, driven by higher liquidity reflected in increased interest-bearing bank balances and fed funds sold. Average other earning assets decreased $624 million from Combined 3Q06. Total average earning assets rose $22.8 billion, or 4%, and 33% from 3Q06 driven by the addition of Golden West. Average earning assets increased 5% from Combined 3Q06.

Average core deposits increased $513 million as growth in retail CDs, money market and foreign were largely offset by declines in DDA and savings. 3Q07 results reflect a $3.6 billion sweep of commercial DDAs to money market which had no effect on net interest income. Average core deposits grew 30% from 3Q06 driven by the addition of Golden West. Average core deposits increased 6% from Combined 3Q06 driven by increases in retail CDs and money market with a shift out of savings and DDA.

        Average short-term borrowings increased 13% from 2Q07 driven by higher repos reflecting significantly higher liquidity levels during the quarter in reaction to the market disruption, and decreased 8% from 3Q06 largely on the addition of Golden West and deposit growth.

Average long-term debt increased $7.7 billion in support of earning asset growth and increased $70.5 billion from 3Q06 driven by the addition of Golden West. 3Q07 issuances totaled $24.8 billion.

Wachovia 3Q07 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

FEE AND OTHER INCOME

(See Table on Page 8)

Fee and other income of $2.8 billion declined $1.4 billion, or 34%, and decreased $704 million, or 20%, from 3Q06. The decline from 2Q07 was driven by the $1.3 billion in market disruption-related valuation losses, as well as significantly lower deal volume. The effects of the market disruption more than offset strong principal investing gains and growth in service charges and fiduciary and asset management fees. The fee and other income decrease from 3Q06 reflects market-related declines in other income, trading account results and securities losses, offsetting strength in all other categories. Fees represented 38% of total revenue in 3Q07 and 48% in 2Q07. Fee and other income decreased 29% from Combined 3Q06 which included $367 million in Golden West securities gains relating to a charitable contribution of appreciated securities.

Service charges increased 3% on 5% growth in consumer service charges, largely reflecting higher volumes, and stable commercial service charges from strong 2Q07 levels. Service charges increased 8% from 3Q06 driven by an 11% increase in consumer service charges on higher volumes and improved pricing and a 3% increase in commercial service charges on higher volumes.

Other banking fees of $437 million decreased 13% as a 5% increase in interchange income was more than offset by a $90 million reduction in mortgage banking income, reflecting lower valuations of mortgage servicing rights (associated hedging gains reported in other income), as well as increased subsidies and lower mortgage originations. Other banking fees rose 2% from 3Q06 driven by the effect of the Golden West merger. Other banking fees decreased 3% from Combined 3Q06 as strength in interchange fees due to higher volumes was more than offset by declines in mortgage banking including the divestiture of our subprime mortgage servicing operation in late 2006.

Commissions decreased $49 million, or 8%, to $600 million on a 6% decline in retail brokerage commissions largely reflecting lower equity syndicate activity, as well as decreases in insurance including an $11 million receivables write-off and overall weaker markets. Commissions increased 6% from Combined 3Q06 as a 14% increase in retail brokerage commissions was partially offset by lower insurance commissions, largely driven by the $11 million receivables write-off.

Fiduciary and asset management fees grew 1% to $993 million driven by strong growth in retail brokerage managed account fees and other asset-based fees and trust fees, partially offset by lower performance management fees. Results increased 21% from 3Q06 reflecting higher retail brokerage managed account fees, the impact of acquisitions, growth in assets under management and the effect of positive client acceptance of the new Wealth Management investment platform.

Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees of $393 million decreased $61 million, or 13%, driven by declines in high grade, equities and loan syndications somewhat offset by improvements in structured credit products. Results improved $101 million, or 35%, from 3Q06 driven by growth in structured products, M&A, equities, high yield and high grade.

Trading account losses of $437 million decreased $632 million from 2Q07 profits of $195 million, and declined $560 million from 3Q06 driven by a net $554 million of market disruption-related valuation losses in structured products and leveraged finance. Trading account results for 3Q07 include $232 million of net gains related to 2Q07 in connection with an error in hedge accounting for certain variable-rate demand deposits which have no stated maturity. Effective April 1, 2007, we are no longer designating these deposits as hedged instruments in hedge accounting strategies.

Principal investing recorded net gains of $372 million, up $74 million from 2Q07 levels, driven by a $270 million unrealized gain relating to the sale of a minority interest in a portion of our direct portfolio, somewhat offset by lower valuations in the public portfolio. Net gains rose $281 million from 3Q06.

Securities losses of $34 million decreased $57 million from 2Q07, which reflected gains of $23 million and decreased $128 million from 3Q06, which reflected gains of $94 million. 3Q07 results included a $40 million valuation loss relating to the purchase of certain asset-backed commercial paper from Evergreen money market funds. Including this $40 million valuation loss, impairment losses were $59 million compared with $32 million in 2Q07 and $4 million in 3Q06.

Other income was a net loss of $252 million down $687 million and down $667 million from 3Q06. The decline from 2Q07 was driven by a $523 million reduction in commercial mortgage-related sales/securitization activity largely reflecting $372 million of market disruption-related valuation losses as well as lower activity and a net $334 million lower of cost or market valuation loss on leveraged finance loans and commitments. Results also reflect a $79 million increase in certain other economic hedge gains and a $50 million improvement in consumer loan-related sale/securitization activity (largely driven by mortgage servicing portfolio hedging gains) somewhat offset by a net $41 million of market disruption-related valuation losses; 3Q07 branch sale gains were also down from 2Q07. 3Q07 results include a $37 million benefit relating to a correction of prior period hedge accounting ineffectiveness.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

(See Table on Page 9)

Total noninterest expense declined $482 million, or 10%, reflecting significant expense control with declines in every category except sundry. 3Q07 expense included $22 million of efficiency initiative costs and $40 million associated with growth initiatives including de novo expansion, branch consolidations and Western expansion. Total noninterest expense decreased 8% from Combined 3Q06 levels, which included $372 million relating to Golden West’s contribution of appreciated securities. The decrease also largely reflects lower salary and employee benefits expense.

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 16% largely reflecting a $487 million reduction in revenue-based incentives as well as lower benefits expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense grew 4% from 3Q06 due to acquisitions. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 4% from Combined 3Q06 with lower revenue-based incentives and benefits expense more than offsetting higher salaries expense related to growth initiatives. Occupancy and equipment expense declined $32 million on lower rental and property management expense and branch closing costs. Professional and consulting fees decreased $13 million. Sundry expense increased $77 million, or 15%, reflecting higher legal and other costs. Other intangible amortization of $92 million included $58 million in deposit base intangible amortization and $34 million in other intangible amortization.

Net interest income increased 2% as the benefit of deposit pricing actions and slower mortgage prepayment speeds more than offset the continued shift to lower spread deposit categories. Underlying sales momentum remained strong with deposit sales up 7%. Average core deposits were flat as growth in CDs and money market was offset primarily by declines in savings deposits and DDA. Average loans grew $952 million with growth in consumer real estate and credit cards somewhat offset by the 2Q07 quarter-end transfer of $2.0 billion in student loans to held for sale. Net interest income grew 53% vs. 3Q06 largely reflecting the addition of Golden West. Versus Combined 3Q06, net interest income declined 1% reflecting the continued shift from variable rate to fixed rate loans and the shift in deposit mix to lower spread categories. Core deposit growth of 7% vs. Combined 3Q06 was driven by increases in CDs and money market accounts somewhat offset by lower savings and DDA. Average loans increased 2% from Combined 3Q06 as increases in consumer real estate and credit card and commercial loans were somewhat offset by loan sales and transfers to held for sale.

Fee and other income was flat as modest strength in consumer service charges and interchange fees on higher transaction and sales volumes was offset by a decline in mortgage banking fee and other income as well as lower branch sale gains. Fees increased 9% over 3Q06 driven by strength in service charges on higher volumes and interchange fees. Fee and other income increased 6% from Combined 3Q06.

Mortgage-related fee and other income of $73 million fell $31 million on higher subsidies and lower marketable origination sales; down $20 million from Combined 3Q06 on higher subsidies and lower marketable origination sales.

Provision expense increased $29 million and $47 million from 3Q06 reflecting higher real estate-secured losses.

Noninterest expense was relatively flat as lower salaries and incentives expense was largely offset by higher loan and foreclosure costs as well as continued investment in growth initiatives. 3Q07 included $40 million in de novo and Western expansion and branch consolidation expenses compared with $32 million in 2Q07. Noninterest expense increased 29% from 3Q06 largely reflecting the addition of Golden West. Expenses rose 7% from Combined 3Q06 on higher corporate overhead, increased loan costs and expense growth associated with expansion initiatives.

Net interest income of $183 million increased 1% as loan growth of 2% was partially offset by lower core deposits. Net interest income was up 4% from 3Q06 as 12% loan growth and 2% deposit growth were partially offset by tighter spreads.

Fee and other income decreased 8% and 6% from 3Q06, driven by lower insurance commissions largely from an $11 million receivables write-off, somewhat offset by record fiduciary and asset management fees from sales on the new investment platform as well as market appreciation.

Noninterest expense decreased 1% driven by lower corporate overhead as well as lower travel and professional fees. Noninterest expense increased 1% from 3Q06 as higher sundry expense, largely driven by legal costs, was partially offset by lower expenses from efficiency initiatives.

Net interest income increased $44 million, or 17%, and 46% from 3Q06, reflecting higher average earning assets driven by growth in higher spread structured product warehouse assets and leveraged loans.

Fee and other income declined $1.5 billion from record 2Q07 levels driven by the fixed income market disruption resulting in $1.3 billion of valuation losses in fixed income structured product warehouses (commercial real estate, CDO/CLO and other structured products, and residential mortgage), lower of cost or market valuation losses on leveraged finance unfunded loan and bond commitments and funded loans, as well as lower origination results across most capital markets areas. Other income declined $810 million to a loss of $607 million driven by market disruption net valuation losses of $747 million. The market valuation-related losses included a $334 million lower of cost or market valuation loss in leveraged finance, $372 million of valuation losses in commercial mortgage-related sale/securitization results, and $41 million in consumer mortgage-related sale/securitization losses. Commercial mortgage-related sales/securitization results were down $523 million from 2Q07 on the above losses and lower transaction activity. Trading account losses of $519 million included $554 million in net market disruption-related valuation losses in structured products, partially offset by macro credit hedge gains. Advisory and underwriting revenue of $391 million decreased $53 million as growth in structured credit products was more than offset by declines in high grade, equities and loan syndications. Principal investing fees increased $75 million from 2Q07, and included a $270 million unrealized gain relating to the sale of a minority interest in a portion of our direct portfolio, partially offset by lower results in the public portfolio. Fee and other income declined $1.0 billion from 3Q06 as losses in trading and other losses resulting from the market disruption more than offset higher principal investing and advisory and underwriting results.

Capital markets losses of $478 million resulted from the market disruption losses recognized in the quarter. Principal investing results were $60 million higher than 2Q07 and included $270 million in unrealized gains relating to the sale of a minority interest in a portion of our direct portfolio.

Net interest income of $264 million increased 2% and 5% from 3Q06 reflecting improving deposit spreads.

Fee and other income of $1.2 billion decreased 2% as higher managed account and other asset-based fees were more than offset by lower equity syndicate activity. Fee and other income also decreased due to lower valuations on investments used to fund deferred compensation plans (essentially offset by related expenses). Fee and other income increased 18% from 3Q06 driven by higher managed account and other asset-based fees and increased brokerage transaction activity.

Noninterest expense of $1.0 billion decreased 4% driven by lower deferred compensation, corporate overhead, incentives and overall strong expense management. Noninterest expense increased 13% from 3Q06 due to an increase in commissions, corporate overhead and incentives.

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 owns 62% of Wachovia Securities retail brokerage and Prudential Financial, Inc. owns 38%. Prudential Financial’s minority interest is included in minority interest reported in the Parent (see page 36) and in Wachovia Corporation’s consolidated statements of income on a GAAP basis, which differs from our segment reporting as noted on pages 4 and 17. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, Prudential Financial’s pre-tax minority interest on a GAAP basis was $99 million.

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

Fee and other income of $244 million declined 22% driven by a $40 million valuation loss relating to the purchase of certain asset-backed commercial paper investments from Evergreen money market funds as well as lower performance fees. Fee and other income increased 7% from 3Q06 driven by the ECM acquisition and growth in assets under management, partially offset by the $40 million valuation loss.

Noninterest expense of $217 million decreased 8% driven by lower incentives and corporate overhead. Noninterest expense increased 10% from 3Q06 driven by the ECM acquisition and higher corporate overhead, partially offset by merger efficiencies associated with the 2Q06 acquisition of Ameriprise’s 401(k) record-keeping business.

Total assets under management increased $4.0 billion, or 1%, driven by $2.4 billion in net asset inflows and $1.6 billion in market appreciation. AUM growth of 13% from 3Q06 was due to $29.4 billion from acquisitions, the retention of $17.8 billion of assets previously held in the Parent, $12.9 billion in market appreciation and $7.1 billion in net asset inflows. The growth in AUM from 3Q06 was partially offset by the $34.5 billion change in investment discretion responsibility on previously co-managed, nonproprietary assets now solely managed by Wealth Management.

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 3Q07, brokerage revenue and expense eliminations were a reduction of $2 million and $4 million, respectively.

Net interest income declined $65 million as the benefits of funds transfer pricing and average earning asset growth were more than offset by growth in long-term debt and higher wholesale funding spreads. Results reflect the liability sensitive nature of our securities portfolio and wholesale funding operations, which serves to hedge our asset sensitive core business activities. Net interest income declined $104 million from 3Q06 as the benefits to the Parent of funds transfer pricing (see page 17 for description), as well as average earning asset growth were more than offset by lower hedge-related derivative income and the compression of spreads in the funding of securities, in part due to the effects of higher liquidity levels in response to the market disruption.

Fee and other income increased $150 million as higher trading account profits and higher advisory and underwriting fees were partially offset by lower securities gains. Fee and other income increased 7% from 3Q06 driven by higher trading profits.

Provision for credit losses increased $168 million, and was up $197 million from 3Q06, reflecting a modest deterioration in credit quality, a $75 million increase in unallocated reserves as well as loan growth.

Noninterest expense increased $8 million as higher sundry expense, reflecting higher legal costs, was only partially offset by lower revenue-based compensation expense.

Net charge-offs in the loan portfolio of $206 million increased $56 million, or 37%, driven by growth in auto, reflecting some seasonality, as well as growth in consumer real estate and commercial. As a percentage of average net loans, annualized net charge-offs increased 5 basis points to 0.19%. Commercial net charge-offs increased 1 bp to 0.08% of loans, and consumer net charge-offs increased 8 bps to 0.27%, with installment loans, primarily auto, increasing to 1.99% and consumer real estate increasing modestly to 0.08%. Overall, gross charge-offs of $278 million rose $55 million due to the above factors and were partially offset by recoveries of $72 million, essentially flat with 2Q07. Net charge-offs increased $90 million from 3Q06 driven by higher auto, consumer real estate and commercial losses.

Provision for credit losses of $408 million reflects a modest deterioration in credit quality, a $75 million increase in unallocated reserves relating to a more uncertain credit environment as well as loan growth, somewhat offset by an $88 million reduction in the allowance based on correction of an error in the consumer formula-based component for overdrafts which related to prior periods.

Allowance for credit losses increased $139 million to $3.7 billion, reflecting a modest deterioration in credit quality, a $75 million increase in unallocated reserves as well as loan growth, partially offset by an $88 million reduction in the allowance based on correction of an error in the consumer formula-based component for overdrafts which related to prior periods and the transfer of $63 million of reserves largely related to the transfer of $1.6 billion of credit card receivables to loans held for sale. As a percentage of loans, the allowance for loan losses of 0.78% and the allowance for credit losses of 0.82% were relatively stable. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which includes unfunded loans and standby letters of credit, increased 15% to $186 million due to increased volume as well as a modest increase in risk. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans ratio was 135%, down from 182% in 2Q07 and 520% in 3Q06, largely reflecting growth in consumer real estate nonaccrual loans, including the impact of Golden West, which have historically demonstrated a relatively low loss content as well as higher commercial real estate nonaccrual loans.

Nonperforming loans in the loan portfolio of $2.6 billion increased $737 million driven by increases in consumer and commercial real estate and rose $2.0 billion from 3Q06, largely reflecting the addition of Golden West.

Commercial nonaccruals of $643 million increased 34% from 2Q07 driven by commercial real estate; up 81% from 3Q06. New commercial nonaccrual inflows were $298 million, up $93 million. Consumer nonaccruals of $2.0 billion increased 42%, largely on consumer real estate. At the end of 3Q07 the average LTV of the consumer real estate nonaccrual loan portfolio was 76%.

Foreclosed properties increased $217 million, primarily on increases in consumer real estate.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of Golden West were recorded at their respective fair values as of October 1, 2006, as if they had been purchased in the open market. The purchase accounting adjustments associated with Golden West were final as of September 30, 2007. The premiums and discounts that resulted from the purchase accounting adjustments to financial instruments are accreted/amortized into income/expense over the estimated terms of the respective assets and liabilities, similar to 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.

Wachovia 3Q07 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 4 and 6 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 41-45. 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.

Wachovia 3Q07 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

SUPPLEMENTAL ILLUSTRATIVE COMBINED INFORMATION

The Quarterly Earnings Report contains references to certain information previously furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission in Exhibit (99)(d) to Wachovia’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 23, 2007 (such furnished information, the “Supplemental Information”). The Supplemental Information shows (1) certain historical financial data for each of Wachovia and Golden West Financial Corporation and (2) similar combined illustrative information reflecting the merger of Golden West with Wachovia. The historical financial data show the financial results actually achieved by Wachovia and by Golden West for the periods indicated. The “Combined” illustrative information shows the illustrative effect of the merger under the purchase method of accounting hypothetically assuming the merger was consummated as of the applicable prior period, instead of October 1, 2006, the actual merger consummation date. In the case of the “Combined” illustrative information for the full year ended December 31, 2006, the standalone Golden West information represents the period from January 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006.

The “Combined” illustrative information is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), although both the historical Wachovia and the historical Golden West financial information presented were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Wachovia believes the “Combined” illustrative information is useful to investors in understanding how the financial information of Wachovia and Golden West may have appeared on a combined basis had the two companies actually been merged as of the dates indicated and how the financial information of the General Bank segment and Retail and Small Business sub-segment of the new combined company may have appeared had the two companies actually been merged as of the dates indicated.

The “Combined” illustrative information includes estimated adjustments to record certain assets and liabilities of Golden West at their respective fair values and to record certain exit costs related to Golden West. The estimated adjustments are subject to updates as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Certain other assets and liabilities of Golden West will also be subject to adjustment to their respective fair values, including additional intangible assets which may be identified. Pending more detailed analyses, no estimated adjustments are included for these assets and liabilities. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of Golden West will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. In addition, the final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited estimated adjustments presented. The “Combined” illustrative information cannot be reconciled to GAAP because many of the purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the merger are based upon valuations of assets as of the merger date and therefore cannot be ascertained for prior periods.

The costs associated with merger integration activities that impact certain Golden West systems, facilities and equipment, personnel and contractual arrangements were recorded as purchase accounting adjustments when the appropriate plans were implemented. Exit cost purchase accounting adjustments were $214 million ($144 million after tax). The costs associated with integrating systems and operations will be recorded as merger-related expenses based on the nature and timing of the related expenses, but generally will be recorded as the expenses are incurred. Restructuring expenses will be recorded based on the nature and timing of the expenses and generally will include merger integration activities that impact Wachovia systems, facilities and equipment, personnel and contractual arrangements. We currently expect merger-related and restructuring expenses will amount to $288 million ($176 million after tax) and will be incurred and reported through 2008.

We anticipate the merger will provide Wachovia with financial benefits that include increased revenue and reduced operating expenses, but these financial benefits are not reflected in the “Combined” illustrative information. Accordingly, the “Combined” illustrative information does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the period presented.

The information herein is based on historical financial information and related notes that Wachovia and Golden West have respectively presented in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders are encouraged to review the historical financial information and related notes in connection with the “Combined” illustrative information.

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.
