Bank of America Second Quarter Earnings Per Share Rose 8 Percent

Businesses Generate Solid Revenue Growth Across Customer Segments

CHARLOTTE — Bank of America Corporation today reported second quarter net income rose 5 percent to $5.76 billion from $5.48 billion a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share increased 8 percent to $1.28 from $1.19. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 17.55 percent.

All three business segments recorded revenue increases. Results were mainly driven by continued healthy capital markets activity as well as good consumer noninterest income growth.

“Bank of America, with its diverse business model, was able to continue attractive earnings growth despite challenging headwinds,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth D. Lewis. “Our businesses are doing a good job of attracting new customers and expanding our relationships with existing clients. Our investments in a number of businesses such as capital markets, mortgage and services for the affluent, in addition to the equity investment gains produced in the current environment, are generating results that more than offset spread compression impacting virtually all of our businesses and the trend toward more normalized credit costs.”

Second Quarter 2007 Highlights (vs. a year earlier)

 

   

Investment banking income rose 26 percent. The company gained market share in mergers and acquisitions as Bank of America continues to build its platform.

 

   

Total sales of retail products rose 8 percent, generated by strong growth in sales of first mortgages, checking and savings accounts, credit cards and online banking activations. Net new retail checking accounts rose by 717,000.

 

   

Strong originations of first mortgages were boosted by the successful launch of No Fee Mortgage PLUS which accounted for 11 percent of first mortgage production in the second quarter. In addition, the company closed in late June on the purchase of Reverse Mortgage of America, which will significantly increase Bank of America’s offerings of reverse mortgages to seniors.

 

 

 

Keep the ChangeTM passed the 5 million mark of customers who have saved more than $500 million since the inception of this innovative program.

 

   

Total unit sales to small businesses with less than $2.5 million in annual sales rose 41 percent, while average deposits grew 5 percent. Expanding relationships with small businesses is a key strategic priority.

 

 

 

Total assets under management (AUM) in Global Wealth and Investment Management increased 13 percent to more than $566 billion. More than half of the increase represented net new investment inflows by clients. On a 3-year AUM weighted basis, 93 percent of Columbia’s equity funds were in the top 2 performance quartiles compared with their peer group. 1

 

   

Premier Banking households using both bank and investment services rose 9 percent, reflecting the company’s strategy to meet more of the financial needs of these clients.

1  Results shown are defined by Columbia Management’s calculation of its percentage of assets under management in the top two quartiles of categories based on Morningstar as of May 31, 2007. The category percentile rank was calculated by ranking the three year net return of share classes within the categories. The assets of the number of funds within the top 2 quartile results were added and then divided by Columbia Management’s total assets under management. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The share class earning the ranking may have limited eligibility and may not be available to all investors.

Second Quarter 2007 Financial Summary

Revenue

Revenue net of interest expense on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased 8 percent to $19.96 billion from $18.52 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

Noninterest income rose 17 percent to $11.18 billion from $9.59 billion in the second quarter of 2006, driven by increases in equity investment gains, other income, investment banking and service charges. Equity investment gains included a $600 million gain related to the sale of private equity funds to Conversus Capital, an investment partnership, as well as higher dividends from strategic investments.

Net interest income on a managed basis increased 1 percent to $10.73 billion compared with the year-ago quarter. Net interest income on a held basis declined 3 percent to $8.39 billion from $8.63 billion a year earlier. The net interest margin decreased 26 basis points to 2.59 percent.

Efficiency

The efficiency ratio on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was 45.56 percent for the second quarter of 2007. Noninterest expense increased 4 percent to $9.09 billion from $8.72 billion a year earlier. Expenses rose mainly because of higher incentive compensation and other personnel expenses, reflecting investment in various business platforms and an increase in litigation reserves. Higher expenses were somewhat offset by lower pretax merger and restructuring charges of $75 million compared with $194 million a year earlier.

Credit Quality

Overall credit quality remained sound, but continues to move toward more normalized levels. Compared with the second quarter of 2006, net charge-offs increased primarily reflecting seasoning and a trend toward more normalized loss levels in the consumer and small business portfolios as well as lower commercial recoveries. Provision expense in the second quarter rose from a year ago due to higher net charge-offs as well as increased reserves for portfolio seasoning and higher loss expectations in the small business and home equity portfolios reflecting the growth of these businesses.

 

   

Net charge-offs were $1.50 billion, or 0.81 percent of total average loans and leases compared with $1.43 billion, or 0.81 percent, in the first quarter. In the year-ago quarter net charge-offs were $1.02 billion, or 0.65 percent.

 

   

Provision for credit losses was $1.81 billion, up from $1.24 billion in the first quarter and $1.01 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

Total managed net losses were $2.77 billion, or 1.30 percent of total average managed loans and leases, compared with $2.57 billion, or 1.26 percent, in the first quarter and $1.81 billion, or 0.98 percent, in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

Nonperforming assets were $2.39 billion, or 0.32 percent of total loans, leases and foreclosed properties, at June 30. This compared with $2.06 billion, or 0.29 percent, at March 31 and $1.64 billion, or 0.25 percent, at June 30, 2006.

 

   

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $9.06 billion, or 1.20 percent of total loans and leases, at June 30 compared with $8.73 billion, or 1.21 percent at March 31 and $9.08 billion, or 1.36 percent, at June 30, 2006.

Capital Management

Total shareholders’ equity was $135.75 billion at June 30. Period-end assets were $1.5 trillion. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.52 percent, down from 8.57 percent at March 31 and up from 8.33 percent a year ago.

During the quarter, Bank of America paid a cash dividend of $0.56 per share. The company also issued 11.3 million common shares related to employee stock options and ownership plans and repurchased 13.5 million common shares. Period-ending common shares issued and outstanding were 4.44 billion for the second quarter of 2007, compared with 4.44 billion for the first quarter and 4.53 billion for the second quarter of 2006.

Net revenue rose 9 percent as debt underwriting and advisory fees helped increase noninterest income by 11 percent. Net income increased 5 percent.

Provision expense rose $19 million because of lower commercial recoveries.

 

   

Business Lending net revenue and net income were flat at $1.50 billion and $589 million, respectively, as good loan growth and fee generation offset continued spread compression.

Bank of America Corporation

Reconciliation - Managed to GAAP


(Dollars in millions; except as noted)

The Corporation reports its Global Consumer and Small Business Banking results, specifically Card Services, on a managed basis. The change to a managed basis is consistent with the way that management as well as analysts and rating agencies evaluate the results of Global Consumer and Small Business Banking. Managed basis assumes that loans that have been securitized were not sold and presents earnings on these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold (i.e., held loans) are presented. Loan securitization is an alternative funding process that is used by the Corporation to diversify funding sources. Loan securitization removes loans from the Consolidated Balance Sheet through the sale of loans to an off-balance sheet qualified special purpose entity which is excluded from the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The performance of the managed portfolio is important in understanding Global Consumer and Small Business Banking’s and Card Services’ results as it demonstrates the results of the entire portfolio serviced by the business. Securitized loans continue to be serviced by the business and are subject to the same underwriting standards and ongoing monitoring as held loans. In addition, retained excess servicing income is exposed to similar credit risk and repricing of interest rates as held loans. Global Consumer and Small Business Banking’s managed income statement line items differ from its held basis reported in the prior periods as follows:

 

 

Managed net interest income includes Global Consumer and Small Business Banking’s net interest income on held loans and interest income on the securitized loans less the internal funds transfer pricing allocation related to securitized loans.

 

Managed noninterest income includes Global Consumer and Small Business Banking’s noninterest income on a held basis less the reclassification of certain components of card income (e.g., excess servicing income) to record managed net interest income and provision for credit losses. Noninterest income, both on a held and managed basis, also includes the impact of adjustments to the interest-only strip that are recorded in card income as management continues to manage this impact within Global Consumer and Small Business Banking.

 

The provision for credit losses represents the provision for credit losses on held loans combined with realized credit losses associated with the securitized loan portfolio.
