NATIONAL CITY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL YEAR 2006 RESULTS
     CLEVELAND—January 23, 2007— National City Corporation (NYSE: NCC) reports fourth quarter 2006 net income was $842 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, and full year 2006 net income was $2.3 billion, or $3.72 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2005 net income was $398 million, or $.64 per diluted share, and full year 2005 net income was $2.0 billion, or $3.09 per diluted share.
     Results for the fourth quarter of 2006 include a gain on the sale of the First Franklin nonconforming mortgage origination and servicing platform of $622 million after-tax, or $1.00 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2006 results also include after-tax charges of $172 million, or $.28 per diluted share, for credit losses on the First Franklin run-off portfolio, realized losses on sales of former First Franklin portfolio loans and fair value writedowns on such loans held for sale. For the full year, such losses were $197 million after-tax, or $.32 per diluted share.
Chairman’s Comments
     Chairman and CEO David A. Daberko commented, “National City made the strategic decision more than a year ago to focus its efforts and resources primarily on core banking businesses where there is a direct relationship between the customer and the bank across a number of product categories. Investments have been and will continue to be directed to broadening and deepening such relationships. Along the way, we have exited a number of

indirect or broker-based businesses, culminating with the sale in the fourth quarter of First Franklin, our non-prime mortgage company. The fourth quarter benefited from the large gain on the sale of First Franklin, partially offset by losses incurred on the sale and writedown of certain loans associated with this unit. Approximately $7.3 billion of such loans remain on our balance sheet in run-off mode.
     As we enter 2007, we can now focus more intently on our core businesses, almost all of which performed well in 2006. The two biggest units, Wholesale Banking and Consumer and Small Business, had their best years ever as loan volumes, deposit volumes and fee income all rose. Net interest margin has been stable while credit quality in the core consumer and commercial portfolios continues to be good. Our asset management businesses also had a positive year. Reflecting weakness in the housing market, our prime mortgage and national home equity businesses saw declines in their operating results. With the recent completion of our two acquisitions in Florida, we look forward to further growth and expansion in these attractive markets.”
Net Interest Income and Margin
     Tax-equivalent net interest income was $1.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2006, about equal to the preceding quarter and down approximately 5% from the fourth quarter of 2005. Net interest margin was 3.73% in the fourth quarter of 2006, virtually unchanged from the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter a year ago. Average earning assets for the fourth quarter were essentially unchanged from the third quarter but down about 5% from the fourth quarter a year ago. The decrease was due to a lower average portfolio loan balance resulting from the decision to begin selling all non-footprint, broker-based consumer loan production, as well as certain portfolio loan sales. For the full year, tax-equivalent net interest income was $4.6 billion, about equal to 2005. Net interest margin was 3.75% in 2006 and 3.74% in 2005.
Loans and Deposits
     Average portfolio loans were $93.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $97.4 billion for the third quarter of 2006, and $106.4 billion for the fourth quarter a year ago. The linked quarter decline in average portfolio loans resulted from the transfer of approximately $6 billion of nonconforming mortgages to held for sale near the end of the third

quarter. Approximately $3.9 billion of these loans were sold prior to year end. The decline in average portfolio loans compared to the fourth quarter of last year reflects the implementation of a strategy to sell substantially all non-footprint, broker-originated home equity and nonconforming mortgage production. As a result, originations of these consumer loans in 2006 were included in loans held for sale rather than held in portfolio as in the prior year. Exclusive of First Franklin originated loans and broker-sourced home equity lines of credit which are in run-off, average portfolio loans were $77.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006, up from $75.2 billion in the preceding quarter, and $72.5 billion in the fourth quarter a year ago.
     For the full year, average portfolio loans were $99.4 billion for 2006 and $105.3 billion for 2005. The decrease in the loan portfolio is attributable to the originate and sell strategy described above. Exclusive of First Franklin originated loans and broker-sourced home equity lines, average portfolio loans were $74.9 billion in 2006 versus $72.3 billion in 2005. Good growth was experienced in commercial loans, as well as credit card and other unsecured borrowings, which increased by 8% and 10%, respectively, compared to a year ago. Average loans held for sale increased to $13.5 billion in 2006 compared to $11.1 billion in 2005 which reflects more loans classified as held for sale in 2006.
     Average total deposits were $84.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006, up slightly from the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter a year ago. Interest checking and money market savings account balances increased throughout 2006, partially offset by lower balances of broker-originated certificates of deposits. Average core deposits, excluding escrow and custodial balances, were $66.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006, up 4% over the fourth quarter a year ago. The growth in core deposits is reflective of a trend of household growth and expansion in relationships per household, aided by the industry-leading National City points rewards program.
Noninterest Income
     Fees and other income were $1.7 billion for the fourth quarter of 2006, inclusive of a $984 million gain on the sale of the First Franklin origination and servicing platform. Excluding this transaction, fourth quarter 2006 fees and other income were $731 million, a decrease of $146 million compared with the third quarter of 2006 and $37 million compared

with the fourth quarter a year ago. Fees and other income for the fourth quarter of 2006 also included losses of $18 million on the sale of First Franklin originated loans previously held in portfolio and a $56 million fair value writedown on the remaining loans which are classified as held for sale at year end.
     Loan sale revenue was $122 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $215 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $193 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. The matters highlighted above decreased loan sale revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006. In addition, on a linked quarter basis, the Corporation realized lower margins on mortgage loan sales.
     Loan servicing revenue was $52 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, down $52 million compared to the immediately preceding quarter, but up $20 million from the fourth quarter a year ago. The decrease in loan servicing revenue compared to the preceding quarter reflects net mortgage servicing right (MSR) hedging pretax losses of $59 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 versus net MSR hedging pretax gains of $9 million in the preceding quarter. Net MSR hedging results are frequently variable from quarter to quarter, but over long periods of time, the Corporation’s hedging strategies have been very effective in protecting the value of these volatile assets. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, loan servicing revenue increased based on growth in the servicing portfolio which more than offset unfavorable net MSR hedging results.
     Fees and other income for the fourth quarter of 2006 included $24 million of higher brokerage revenue compared to the preceding quarter, arising from transaction advisory services. However, fees and other income also included derivatives losses of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, primarily associated with balance sheet risk management strategies, versus gains of $23 million and $20 million in the third quarter of 2006 and fourth quarter a year ago, respectively.
     For the full year, fees and other income were $4.0 billion in 2006, approximately $3.0 billion exclusive of the gain on the sale of First Franklin, versus $3.3 billion in 2005. Deposit service fees grew to $818 million in 2006, up 11% from the prior year which reflects continued growth in the number of deposit accounts and higher volumes of fee-generating transactions. Loan sale revenue was $766 million in 2006, down 5% compared with the prior year. Loan servicing revenue for 2006 was $91 million versus $399 million in 2005 which reflects net MSR hedging pretax losses of $294 million in 2006 versus net MSR hedging

pretax gains of $275 million in 2005. Derivative losses of $7 million were recognized in 2006 versus derivative gains of $64 million in the prior year.
     Net securities losses of $13 million were realized in the fourth quarter of 2006, versus no significant gains or losses in the preceding quarter, and $9 million of net securities gains in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the full year, net security losses were less than $1 million in 2006 compared to net security gains of $27 million in 2005.
Noninterest Expense
          Noninterest expense was $1.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2006, relatively unchanged from the preceding quarter and down approximately 5% compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2005 included $56 million of severance and other restructuring costs, as well as a $30 million contribution to the Corporation’s charitable foundation.
     Noninterest expense was $4.7 billion for the full year 2006, down slightly compared to 2005, and reflecting cost savings from the Corporation’s Best In Class programs. Personnel costs were relatively flat between years. Insurance costs increased $52 million in 2006 as additional credit protection was purchased on mortgage loans. There were no other significant unusual expenses incurred in 2006. Noninterest expense for 2005 included $33 million of higher severance costs, the charitable contribution described above, and a $29 million one-time lease accounting adjustment.
Income Tax Expense
     The effective tax rates for the fourth quarter of 2006 and the full year were 35% and 33%, respectively. In 2005, the effective tax rates for the fourth quarter and the full year were 29% and 33%, respectively. The higher tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2006 reflects a higher rate applied to the gain on the sale of First Franklin.
Credit Quality
          The provision for credit losses was $323 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared with $73 million in the preceding quarter and $132 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the full year, the provision was $483 million in 2006 compared with $284 million in

2005. The higher provision in 2006 is primarily attributable to anticipated credit losses on the run-off portfolio of First Franklin nonconforming mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2006, $7.3 billion of these First Franklin nonconforming loans remained in portfolio.
     Net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $128 million, compared with $117 million in the preceding quarter, and $138 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Net charge-offs were $442 million in 2006 compared with $380 million a year ago, with the increase driven by nonconforming mortgage loans, passenger airline leases, and certain consumer loans affected by 2005 bankruptcy filings.
     Nonperforming assets were $732 million at December 31, 2006, up from $596 million a year ago, which reflects the addition of two large residential real estate developers, as well as an increase in real estate in foreclosure. Real estate in foreclosure included higher balances of nonconforming mortgages, as well as $60 million of GNMA insured loans which were not classified as nonperforming assets prior to 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, representing 1.18% and 1.03% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Balance Sheet
     At December 31, 2006, total assets were $140.2 billion, and stockholders’ equity was $14.6 billion or 10.4% of assets. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 7.77% at December 31, 2006, versus 6.57% a year ago.
     The Corporation repurchased approximately 600,000 shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2006, bringing the repurchases for the full year to approximately 20 million shares. Share repurchases in the fourth quarter were nominal due to regulatory restrictions associated with acquisitions. As these restrictions have lapsed, management is considering a number of share repurchase options including regular open-market repurchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, or a tender offer, either individually or in combination. A decision among these alternatives will likely be made in the near future.
     Total purchased funds were $33.3 billion at December 31, 2006, down from $41.0 billion at December 31, 2005. The lower level of borrowings reflects growth in the deposit base as well as a smaller loan portfolio, consistent with the objectives of the Corporation’s originate-and-sell strategy for non-footprint, broker-originated consumer loans.

Recently Completed Acquisitions & Divestitures
          On December 1, 2006, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Harbor Florida Bancshares, Inc., a banking company located along the central east coast of Florida. Harbor operates 42 branches, doing business as Harbor Federal Savings Bank. As of December 31, 2006, the Corporation’s balance sheet included $2.7 billion of portfolio loans and $2.3 billion of deposits associated with this acquisition. Since this transaction closed near year end, the impact on the average balance sheet and income statement for 2006 was minor.
     On January 5, 2007, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Fidelity Bankshares, Inc., a banking company operating 52 branches along Florida’s southeast coast. As of December 31, 2006, Fidelity had $3.5 billion of portfolio loans and $3.4 billion of deposits. The assets and liabilities of Fidelity will be reflected in the balance sheet in 2007.
     As described earlier, the Corporation completed the sale of its nonconforming mortgage origination and servicing platform on December 30, 2006. The proceeds from this sale are subject to adjustment under the sale contract, with any resulting adjustment recorded as realized in 2007.
