1Q08 vs. 4Q07

 

   

Net loss of $350 million; net loss of $393 million, after preferred dividends, down $444 million and down $2.7 billion from 1Q07; net loss per share of $0.20 down $0.23

 

  Results reflect a $473 million increase in market disruption-related valuation losses of $2.0 billion and higher credit costs, partially offset by fair value accounting gains and a gain from the Visa IPO

 

   

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

 

   

Revenues of $7.9 billion up 6% from 4Q07; down 5% from 1Q07 despite the addition of A.G. Edwards (AGE)

 

  Net interest income rose $131 million, or 3%, as the benefits of our liability sensitive rate position, strong earning asset growth of $8.9 billion, improving loan spreads and low-cost core deposit growth were somewhat offset by higher wholesale funding costs and increases in nonaccrual loans

 

   

Net interest margin increase of 4 bps to 2.92% reflects the benefit of our liability sensitive rate position and improving loan spreads, partially offset by higher wholesale funding including the effects of increased liquidity and rising nonaccrual loans

 

  Fee income increased $347 million as $445 million of FAS 157/159 net gains, largely in principal investing, a $225 million gain associated with the Visa IPO and improved advisory and underwriting fees were partially offset by a $523 million increase in market disruption valuation losses and seasonal declines in service charges and commissions despite higher daily volumes; fiduciary and asset management fees, and other banking fees were stable

Wachovia 1Q08 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

   

Other noninterest expense decreased $391 million, or 7%, largely reflecting lower salaries and benefits expense, despite $109 million in retirement-eligible employee stock compensation expense, as well as lower sundry expense; 1Q08 results included $44 million relating to strategic growth initiatives and $12 million of non-merger related severance costs

 

   

Average loans up 4% on growth of 6% in commercial and 2% in consumer; up 12% from 1Q07

 

  Strength in foreign and commercial real estate including the $3.3 billion average net effect of transfers into the loan portfolio from held-for-sale and large corporate reflecting strong growth and changing market conditions

 

  Consumer growth driven by consumer real estate, auto and student

 

   

Average core deposits increased 1%; up 7% from 1Q07

 

  Strong momentum in money market and interest checking reflecting strong sales and a flight to quality, partially offset by declines in CDs and lower DDA balances

 

   

Provision expense of $2.8 billion increased $1.3 billion largely reflecting increased risk in the consumer real estate, commercial and auto portfolios as well as higher charge-offs

 

  Net charge-offs of $765 million, or 66 bps of loans, reflecting higher losses in consumer real estate, commercial and auto

 

   

Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.5% relatively flat from 4Q07 despite the January 2008 issuance of $3.5 billion of Tier 1 qualifying securities on lower net earnings

KEY POINTS

 

   

Fee and other income of $3.1 billion increased $347 million, or 13%, from 4Q07 and decreased $643 million, or 17%, from 1Q07

 

  1Q08 fees improved 13% largely driven by FAS 157/159 net gains, largely in principal investing, the Visa IPO gain, and stable fiduciary and asset management fees and other banking fees, which were more than offset by higher market disruption-related losses, seasonally lower service charges and insurance commissions, as well as modestly lower retail brokerage transaction revenue

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

 

  Declines from 1Q07 reflect market disruption-related valuation losses and lower advisory and underwriting fees which more than offset higher fiduciary and asset management fees and commissions, partially reflecting merger activity, higher principal investing gains, and growth in service charges and interchange fees

 

   

Service charges declined 6% as seasonally lower consumer service charges more than offset a modest increase in commercial service charges; up 10% from 1Q07 driven by a 12% increase in consumer and 7% increase in commercial

 

   

Other banking fees were flat as growth in mortgage banking was largely offset by lower letter of credit and interchange fees reflecting seasonality; increased 20% from 1Q07 largely on increases in mortgage banking and interchange fees

 

   

Commissions declined $56 million, or 6%, on lower brokerage and insurance commissions, including seasonality

 

   

Fiduciary and asset management fees were relatively flat despite lower valuation levels; results increased $486 million from 1Q07 on the addition of AGE and strength in retail brokerage managed account and other asset-based fees

 

   

Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees increased 5% from depressed 4Q07 levels reflecting increased originations in high grade and equities despite continued weak overall market activity; results decreased 36% from strong 1Q07 levels driven by market disruption

 

   

Trading account losses of $308 million improved $216 million reflecting $178 million lower market disruption-related valuation losses

 

   

Principal investing results improved $405 million, and $398 million from 1Q07, driven by FAS 157 net gains of $486 million as well as gains in the direct investment portfolio, partially offset by losses in the public portfolio

 

   

Securities losses were $205 million in 1Q08 compared to losses of $320 million in 4Q07 and gains of $53 million in 1Q07; 1Q08 results included market disruption-related impairment losses of $480 million compared to $327 million in 4Q07, partially offset by $225 million in gains related to the Visa IPO

Other income results include:

  $119 million improvement in commercial mortgage-related sales/securitization activity largely reflecting a $124 million reduction in market disruption-related losses

 

  Higher market disruption-related losses of $792 million in leveraged finance vs. $87 million in 4Q07

 

  No net market disruption-related results on subprime ABS CDO/CLO and other warehouses vs. a net loss of $38 million in 4Q07

Other noninterest expense decreased $391 million driven by lower salaries and employee benefits, legal costs and professional and consulting fees

 

  1Q08 results included $12 million of non-merger severance costs and $44 million associated with growth initiatives including de novo/branch consolidations and Western expansion

 

   

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $208 million driven by a decrease in salaries and incentives, which included lower revenue-based incentives and non-merger severance expense, somewhat offset by $109 million higher retirement-eligible employee stock compensation expense; up 10% from 1Q07 largely due to merger activity

 

   

Occupancy and equipment expense relatively flat reflecting continued expense discipline; up 13% from 1Q07 largely reflecting merger activity

 

   

Professional and consulting fees decreased $75 million reflecting seasonally higher expense in 4Q07

 

   

Sundry expense decreased $113 million, or 15%, driven by lower legal costs

KEY POINTS

 

   

Trading assets increased $7.0 billion, or 18%, primarily due to $6.8 billion in securities moved to trading from available for sale concurrent with the election to carry them at fair value under SFAS 159; average VAR of $66 million vs. $44 million in 4Q07

 

   

Securities decreased $5.0 billion, or 4%, as a $6.8 billion decrease related to securities moved to trading as noted above and $1.5 billion in sales/maturities were partially offset by the $3.2 billion average effect of consumer real estate securitizations; the average duration of the securities portfolio increased to 3.5 years from 3.4 years in 4Q07, driven by increased balances in mortgage-backed securities

 

   

Commercial loans increased $10.4 billion, or 6%, on higher foreign and commercial real estate, including the $3.2 billion average net effect of $5.0 billion in transfers to the portfolio from held for sale, growth in large corporate loans, higher middle-market and business banking as well as the $219 million average effect of $644 million of leveraged finance loans transferred from held for sale; period-end commercial loans up $13.1 billion

 

   

Consumer loans increased $5.7 billion, or 2%, reflecting the $1.3 billion average net effect of transfers from held for sale driven by real estate secured and auto, as well as growth in consumer real estate, student and auto, partially offset by the $3.2 billion average effect of consumer real estate sales and securitizations; period-end consumer loans up $5.4 billion with growth in real estate secured, auto and student, partially offset by $2.3 billion of consumer real estate transferred to held for sale at quarter end

 

   

Loans held for sale declined $7.4 billion as transfers to the portfolio in commercial and consumer real estate and auto, sales activity and lower originations in commercial real estate were somewhat offset by leveraged finance fundings

 

   

Other earning assets down 6% on wholesale funding changes including lower fed funds sold and interest bearing bank balances

KEY POINTS

 

   

Total NPAs of $8.4 billion rose $3.0 billion driven by a $1.8 billion increase in consumer real estate and a $691 million increase in commercial real estate; up 58 bps to 1.74% of loans

 

  Consumer real estate nonaccrual loan growth reflects the continued deterioration in the housing market, particularly in California and Florida, and includes $632 million in modified loans

 

  Commercial real estate nonaccrual loan growth largely relates to residential real estate loans in the Real Estate Financial Services (REFS) portfolio

 

   

Provision expense of $2.8 billion largely reflecting the effects of continuing significant deterioration in the housing market

 

  Results included $2.1 billion of reserve build largely reflecting higher expected losses for the consumer real estate and auto portfolios as well as continued deterioration in estimated default frequency and loss severity in the commercial portfolio

 

  Net charge-offs of $765 million, or 66 bps of average loans, increased $304 million driven by higher consumer real estate, commercial and installment losses

 

   

Allowance for credit losses of $6.8 billion, or 1.41% of net loans

 

  Allowance for loan losses covers annualized 1Q08 net charge-offs 2.15 times

 

  Allowance reflects higher expected losses across our loan portfolio, particularly in our residential mortgage portfolio, on increased frequency and severity

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

 

   

Net charge-offs in the loan portfolio of $765 million increased $304 million, or 66%, driven by growth in consumer real estate, commercial and auto; annualized net charge-offs up 25 basis points to 0.66% of average loans

 

  Commercial net charge-offs of $237 million increased $75 million, or 29 bps, to 0.41% of loans

 

   

Commercial net charge-offs of $157 million increased $112 million driven in part by a $66 million loss associated with a loan that financed the sale of $255 million of residential subprime mortgage assets

 

   

Commercial real estate net charge-offs of $80 million, or 0.73% of loans, declined $37 million on lower income producing losses

 

  Consumer net charge-offs of $528 million increased $229 million, or 33 bps to 0.79%, driven by a $194 million increase in consumer real estate net charge-offs and $35 million higher installment loan losses

 

   

1Q08 results include $341 million in consumer real estate losses, including $240 million in the Pick-a-Payment portfolio, $29 million in traditional mortgage and $73 million in home equity

 

   

Installment loan net charge-offs of $185 million were driven by auto losses of $145 million and consumer DDA overdraft losses of $23 million

(b) The provision related to loans transferred or sold includes recovery of lower of cost or market losses.
(c) These ratios do not include nonperforming assets included in loans held for sale.

 

   

Allowance for credit losses increased $2.1 billion to $6.8 billion, reflecting increased risk in the consumer real estate, commercial and auto portfolios largely resulting from a more uncertain credit environment following a dramatic downturn in the residential housing market, as well as continued loan growth

 

  $1.6 billion of the increase related to consumer

 

   

$1.5 billion reflects an increase in our expected loss factors on our consumer real estate portfolios driven by continued market weakness in certain geographic regions, particularly California and Florida

 

   

$1.1 billion associated with the Pick-a-Payment portfolio to 155 bps of loans compared to 66 bps at the end of 4Q07

 

   

$242 million of the increase related to our home equity portfolio to 79 bps of loans

 

   

$114 million of the increase related to auto, largely reflecting higher expected losses to 321 bps of loans

 

  $253 million of the increase related to commercial

 

   

$144 million reflects an increase in FAS 114 reserves and $109 million relates to higher expected losses on performing loans given the continued economic weakness in large part influenced by the impact of the downturn in the housing market on related commercial sectors

 

  $165 million of the increase related to growth in unallocated reserves due to increased credit risk uncertainty stemming from economic and other environmental factors

 

  As a percentage of loans, the allowance for loan losses of 1.37% and the allowance for credit losses of 1.41% both rose 39 bps

SUMMARY OPERATING RESULTS

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

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 principles. 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.

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

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

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

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” and SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and provides new income recognition criteria for certain derivative contracts. SFAS 157 does not establish any new fair value measurements; rather it defines “fair value” for other accounting standards that require the use of fair value for recognition or disclosure. SFAS 159 permits companies to elect to carry certain financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. The effect of adopting SFAS 157 is recorded either directly to first quarter 2008 results of operations or as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2008, depending on the nature of the fair value adjustment. The transition adjustment for SFAS 159 is recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2008.

The adoption of SFAS 157 resulted in net gains in the first quarter 2008 results of operations of $517 million pre-tax related primarily to a change in the methodology used to calculate the fair value of certain investments in private equity funds held in a wholly-owned investment company. Also, on January 1, 2008, we recorded a $38 million after-tax gain ($61 million pre-tax) as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings related to removal of blockage discounts previously applied in determining the fair value of certain actively traded public equity investments and to profits previously deferred on certain derivative transactions. SFAS 157 prohibits the use of blockage discounts in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

Upon adoption of SFAS 159, we elected to record certain existing securities available for sale and a small percentage of our loans held-for-sale portfolio at fair value, and in connection therewith recorded a $38 million after-tax ($60 million pre-tax) charge to 2008 beginning retained earnings as a cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS 159. During first quarter 2008, we elected fair value for certain newly originated retail mortgage loans held for sale, resulting in gains of $42 million in results of operations. Securities elected upon adoption and their related interest-rate hedges resulted in a net $114 million charge to results of operations. Prospectively, we plan to elect fair value for certain newly originated loans and loans held for sale, certain purchased securities and certain debt issuances with related unrealized gains and losses reported in the results of operations.

To summarize, the total impact of adoption of SFAS 157 was a net gain of $517 million, and the total impact of adoption of SFAS 159 was a net charge of $72 million, for a total net gain of $445 million in results of operations.

On January 1, 2008, we adopted two EITF issues relating to the accounting for split-dollar life insurance policies that we hold on certain current and former employees. The impact of adoption of these standards amounted to a $19 million after-tax reduction in beginning retained earnings.

INVESTMENT IN BLUEPOINT

Wachovia controls 100% of the outstanding equity of BluePoint Re Limited (“BluePoint”), a Bermuda-based monoline bond reinsurer, and accordingly consolidates this subsidiary. BluePoint management is pursuing a restructuring strategy that, if completed, would lead to a significant reduction in Wachovia’s ownership interest in BluePoint and result in de-consolidation of BluePoint in Wachovia’s financial statements.

Management currently expects that a resolution with respect to BluePoint will be effected by September 30, 2008. Accordingly, the results for the third and fourth quarters of 2007 have been reclassified to reflect the results of BluePoint as a discontinued operation. Results from inception of BluePoint in 2005 through the third quarter of 2007 were not material, and accordingly, have not been included in discontinued operations.

In 2007, BluePoint recorded significant losses on ABS CDO certain derivative instruments (principally, credit default swaps on ABS CDOs) and these losses through December 31, 2007, approximated substantially all of Wachovia’s investment in BluePoint and were included in Wachovia’s 2007 consolidated financial results. Wachovia has no further obligation to inject capital in BluePoint. BluePoint continued to record these instruments at fair value in the first quarter of 2008. In estimating the fair value of these instruments under SFAS 157, a company must consider, among other things, its own credit rating, which in this case is BluePoint’s. As Wachovia has no obligation to fund losses in excess of BluePoint’s equity, BluePoint assessed the discount required in valuing these instruments to reflect a market participant’s view of BluePoint’s non-performance risk. BluePoint’s valuation at March 31, 2008, reflected a very significant discount for its non-performance risk, such that BluePoint recorded no further loss on the derivative instruments in the quarter. Accordingly, our first quarter 2008 consolidated results reflect no additional losses in discontinued operations.

GOODWILL

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess. A reporting unit is our sub-segment level.

Historically, we determined fair values of reporting units using two methods, one based on market earnings multiples of peer companies for each reporting unit, and the other based on discounted cash flow models with estimated cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenues and expenses. In the first quarter of 2008, we added a third method, one based on the previously described market earnings multiples of peer companies adjusted to include a control premium calculated based on comparable transactions for each reporting unit. The earnings multiples for the first method ranged between 8.7 times and 17.2 times. The estimated cash flows for the second method used market-based discount rates ranging from 12.4 percent to 17.8 percent. The earnings multiple method adjusted for a control premium ranged from 11.8 times to 23.7 times. These three methods provide a range of valuations we use in evaluating goodwill for possible impairment. Also, we stress the results of each of our three testing methods by 20% to identify areas where additional investigation or procedures may be necessary to complete our analysis.

Our goodwill impairment testing indicated that none of our goodwill is impaired at March 31, 2008. However, as a result of the market disruption, the impact of which is demonstrated by the further spread between our market capitalization and our book value, the excess of the fair value over the carrying value of several of our reporting units continues to narrow. A prolonged period of market disruption, or further market deterioration, may result in the impairment of our goodwill in the future.

SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $1.2 BILLION, DOWN 7% AND 17% FROM 1Q07

 

   

Revenue of $4.5 billion increased 3% and 5% from 1Q07

 

  Net interest income rose $53 million, or 2%, as 3% loan and low-cost core deposit growth more than offset the effect of rising nonperforming assets and lower deposit spreads

 

  Strong fee growth of 7% reflected improved mortgage banking on improved securitization spreads and higher marketable volumes, partially offset by seasonally lower consumer service charges; fees were up 17% from 1Q07 on strong consumer service charge growth and robust interchange income on higher volumes

 

   

Provision expense increased $249 million to $569 million driven by higher losses in consumer real estate

 

   

Expenses were relatively flat, reflecting strong core expense discipline, despite strategic investment, as well as higher loss mitigation and real estate owned (REO) expense

 

  Includes $30 million in retirement-eligible stock compensation expense

 

  Reflects strategic investment spend of $42 million including $19 million of de novo and branch consolidation costs and $23 million relating to the Western expansion

 

   

Average loans grew 3% and 8% from 1Q07

 

  Consumer loans increased $5.9 billion, or 3%, driven by growth in consumer real estate, student and auto

 

  Commercial loans up $2.3 billion, or 3%, driven by growth in middle-market and business banking

 

   

Average core deposits were relatively stable as strong momentum in money market and interest checking reflecting strong sales and a flight to quality were partially offset by declines in CDs and lower DDA balances

 

  Retail net new checking account sales of 174,000 compared with 94,000 in 4Q07

 

   

422,000 Way2Save accounts opened to date and include 139,000 linked to new checking accounts

SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $92 MILLION, UP 1% AND 10% FROM 1Q07

 

   

Revenue of $397 million decreased 1%, up 4% from 1Q07

 

  Net interest income declined 1% as tighter spreads more than offset strong growth in average loans and core deposits

 

  Fee and other income decreased 1% as record fiduciary and asset management fees were more than offset by lower insurance commissions on continued market weakness

 

  Fiduciary and asset management fees included a $12 million increase related to a receivables adjustment driven in part by 2007 pricing increases which more than offset declines in equity valuations

 

   

Expenses decreased 1% as efficiency initiatives and lower severance expense more than offset $8 million in retirement eligible employee stock compensation expense

 

   

Average loans grew 3% and 10% from 1Q07, led by commercial lending

 

   

Assets under management decreased 5% from 4Q07 due to market performance; up 5% vs. 1Q07 as asset gathering overcame market depreciation

SEGMENT LOSS OF $77 MILLION, IMPROVED $354 MILLION; DOWN $627 MILLION FROM 1Q07

 

   

Revenue of $823 million increased $440 million and decreased $959 million from 1Q07

 

  Results reflect the continued effect of the market disruption with valuation losses of $1.6 billion somewhat offset by $539 million of net gains related to FAS 157/159 fair value accounting adoption, largely in principal investing

 

  Net interest income increased $44 million, or 4%, largely reflecting higher trading related income in global rate products and equities as well as increased loan outstandings in structured products and corporate lending

 

   

Average loans rose 10% led by 4Q07 and 1Q08 transfers of commercial and residential real estate and leveraged finance loans from held for sale to the portfolio as well as growth in corporate lending; up 38% from 1Q07

 

  Fee and other income increased $396 million driven by principal investing largely reflecting the adoption of the new accounting standard on fair value, improved advisory and underwriting fees and service charges, partially offset by $175 million higher market disruption-related losses and reduced origination volume across most investment banking areas; down $1.3 billion from 1Q07

(Please see page 22 for additional detail on market disruption-related losses)

 

   

Principal investing gains of $447 million increased $405 million from 4Q07 and included $486 million in fair value accounting adjustments, partially offset by mark-to-market losses in the direct investment portfolio

 

   

Securities losses of $66 million improved $194 million from losses of $260 million in 4Q07 due to lower market disruption-related losses in structured products

 

   

Trading account losses of $247 million improved $298 million from losses of $545 million largely reflecting lower net market disruption-related valuation losses of $399 million vs. $577 million in 4Q07

 

   

Advisory and underwriting revenue of $308 million increased $7 million from 4Q07 reflecting increased originations in high grade and equities despite the continued negative impact of the credit market disruption on investment banking activity

 

   

Other income decreased $495 million to a net loss of $889 million on a $548 million increase in market disruption-related losses, largely in leveraged finance, partially offset by lower write-downs in structured products as well as reduced lower of cost or market valuation losses on loans held for sale

Table of Contents

Wachovia 1Q08 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

   

Provision expense increased $85 million largely driven by higher losses in residential-related commercial real estate as well as increased losses in commercial loans collateralized by residential mortgage asset-backed securities

 

   

Expenses decreased $205 million, or 22%, driven by lower salaries and incentives despite $15 million in retirement-eligible employee stock compensation expense; down 18% from 1Q07

 

   

Net market disruption-related valuation losses were $1.6 billion and reflected higher leveraged finance and consumer mortgage-related losses, partially offset by decreased marks in structured product warehouses (CDO/CLO and other structured products) and commercial mortgage

Revenue of $2.5 billion down 3%; up 42% from 1Q07 including $718 million relating to acquisitions

Expenses decreased $83 million, or 4%, driven by lower commissions, other incentives and legal costs, partially offset by $30 million in retirement eligible employee stock compensation expense; up 50% from 1Q07 largely reflecting merger activity and legal costs

 

   

Assets under management decreased 6% largely reflecting lower market valuations

 

   

Growth in recently hired, high producing brokers offset by lower producing broker attrition

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 business which is the combination of Wachovia and Prudential’s retail brokerage operations. The combined entity is owned by Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings, LLC (“WSFH”), which is a consolidated subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation for GAAP purposes.

As a result of Wachovia’s contribution to WSFH of the retail securities business of A.G. Edwards on January 1, 2008, Prudential Financial’s percentage interest in WSFH has been diluted as of that date based on the value of the contributed business relative to the value of WSFH. Although the adjustment in Prudential Financial’s interest will be effective as of the January 1, 2008, contribution date, the valuations necessary to calculate the precise reduction in that percentage interest are not yet complete. Based on currently available information, Wachovia estimates that Prudential Financial’s percentage interest will be diluted from its pre-contribution interest of 38% to approximately 23% as a result of the A.G. Edwards contribution.

Prudential Financial’s minority interest is included in minority interest expense reported in the Parent (see page 29) and in Wachovia Corporation’s consolidated statements of income on a GAAP basis, which differs from our segment reporting as noted on page 1. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, Prudential Financial’s pre-tax minority interest on a GAAP basis was $48 million. This amount may be adjusted higher or lower in a subsequent quarter if the final valuations differ from Wachovia’s current estimate.

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

Wachovia 1Q08 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

EXPLANATION OF OUR USE OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUR ES

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this quarterly earnings report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those presented on pages 1 and 3 under the captions “Earnings Reconciliation”, and “Other Financial Measures”, with the sub-headings – “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses” — “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, and discontinued operations” and — “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization and discontinued operations”, and which are reconciled to GAAP financial measures on pages 32-35. In addition, in this quarterly earnings report certain designated net interest income amounts are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, including the calculation of the overhead efficiency ratio.

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

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

Edwards, Inc. completed on October 1, 2007 (the “A.G. Edwards Merger”), including future financial and operating results, cost savings, enhanced revenues and the accretion/dilution to reported earnings that may be realized from the A.G. Edwards Merger, (iii) statements relating to the benefits of the merger between Wachovia and Golden West Financial Corporation completed on October 1, 2006 (the “Golden West Merger”), including future financial and operating results, cost savings, enhanced revenues and the accretion/dilution to reported earnings that may be realized from the Golden West Merger, and (iv) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “projects”, “outlook” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of Wachovia’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond Wachovia’s control). Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause Wachovia’s financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements: (1) the risk that the applicable businesses in connection with the A.G. Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger will not be integrated successfully or such integrations may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (2) the risk that expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the A.G. Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (3) the risk that revenues following the A.G.

Edwards Merger or the Golden West Merger, 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.
