Bank of America Reports Record Second Quarter Earnings of $5.5 Billion, or $1.19 Per Share

20 July 2006

Bank of America Corporation today reported that net income in the second quarter of 2006 rose 18 percent to $5.48 billion from $4.66 billion a year earlier. Per-share earnings (diluted) were $1.19, up 4 percent from $1.14 a year earlier, the previous record quarter on a split-adjusted basis. Return on average common shareholders' equity for the second quarter was 17.26 percent. Under purchase accounting rules, results for the second quarter of 2005 do not include MBNA, which was acquired on January 1, 2006.

Excluding merger and restructuring charges of $194 million pre-tax, equal to 3 cents per share, the company earned $5.60 billion, or $1.22 per share (diluted), in the second quarter of 2006. A year earlier merger and restructuring charges of $121 million related to the acquisition of FleetBoston Financial reduced per-share earnings by 2 cents.


"Our performance this quarter demonstrates the power of our unmatched franchise and diverse revenue sources, as well as the skill and hard work of our associates," said Kenneth D. Lewis, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our ongoing advances in operational excellence led to our best efficiency ratio ever, while our investments in innovation and service across the bank produced gains in the consumer, capital markets and wealth management businesses. We offset the difficult interest rate environment with great execution in every line of business, leading to a significant increase in fee income and continued momentum in the growth of shareholder value."


Revenue grew 25 percent from a year earlier while noninterest expense was up 24 percent. On a pro forma basis (including MBNA's second quarter of 2005 results), revenue increased 6 percent while noninterest expense was up 2 percent. Historical information regarding pro forma results was included in the Form 8-K filed on April 10, 2006.


The year-over-year improvement was driven by strong performance across the consumer businesses, continued growth in trading account profits, investment banking income and equity investment gains, as well as improvements in asset management categories.


For the first six months of 2006, Bank of America earned $10.46 billion, or $2.25 per share (diluted), compared to $9.05 billion, or $2.21 per share on a split-adjusted basis, a year earlier.


Second Quarter 2006 Highlights


- Net new retail checking accounts reached a record 701,000 in the second


quarter, helped by innovative programs such as Keep the Change(TM). To


date, more than 2.7 million customers have enrolled in Keep the Change.


- Debit card income grew more than 20 percent from the second quarter of


2005, as higher checking account volume and Keep the Change increased


usage of debit cards at retail locations. Debit card purchase volume


topped a record $42 billion in the quarter, an increase of 22 percent


from the second quarter of 2005.


- Total loans and leases grew 17 percent in Global Corporate and


Investment Banking from the second quarter of 2005 as businesses


continued to invest and expand.


- Investment banking fee income in Global Corporate and Investment


Banking reached a record $645 million in the second quarter, as


business practices such as the "dual coverage" partnership between


Commercial Banking and Investment Banking continue to increase capital-


raising and M&A business among commercial clients.


- Capital Markets and Advisory Services produced revenue of more than


$2 billion for the second consecutive quarter, as a favorable market


environment in addition to technology and personnel investments begun


in 2005 produced strong across-the-board trading results.


- Total assets under management in Global Wealth and Investment


Management hit the $500 billion milestone, an increase of 13 percent


from the second quarter of 2005. The increase drove 11 percent growth


in asset management fees. Based on assets under management, 85% of


assets were invested in funds (equity, fixed income, and money market


funds) where at least one share class placed in the top two quartiles


of their peer group as of June 30, 2006.(1)


(1) The share class earning the ranking may have limited eligibility and


may not be available to all investors. Peer group rankings were provided


by Morningstar for equity funds, Lipper for fixed income funds and


iMoneyNet for money market funds.


Second Quarter 2006 MBNA Transition Highlights


- Cost savings for the merger in the second quarter were $275 million


pre-tax, due primarily to personnel reductions and marketing synergies.


The transition is on track to meet projected savings targets.


- As of June 30, about 4,000 of the projected 6,000 job reductions have


been achieved through a balance of attrition and severance since the


merger was announced on June 30, 2005.


- Nearly 25 years after MBNA pioneered affinity marketing by offering


credit cards to customers who share a strong common interest, Bank of


America recently announced long-term extensions of three of its


longest and most successful affinity marketing agreements with the


National Education Association (NEA), Ducks Unlimited and the American


Automobile Association (AAA).


- More than 4,200 banking centers are now selling affinity credit cards,


and the products are expected to be sold at more than 5,700 banking


centers by the end of July. Affinity cards were introduced on


bankofamerica.com earlier this year, where customers can now choose


among more than 350 affinity card options. Early results have exceeded


expectations.


Second Quarter 2006 Financial Summary


Revenue


Revenue on a fully taxable-equivalent basis grew 25 percent to $18.52 billion from $14.78 billion in the second quarter of 2005. Last year's results did not include MBNA.


Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was $8.93 billion, compared to $7.83 billion the previous year. Besides the addition of MBNA, the increase was driven by loan growth and increases in asset-liability management (ALM) activity, partially offset by lower core deposit levels and


spread compression. The net interest yield increased 5 basis points to 2.85 percent.


Noninterest income was up 38 percent to $9.60 billion from $6.96 billion. Besides the addition of MBNA, which helped boost card income, these results were driven by continued strength in service fee income and increases in trading account profits, investment banking income and equity investment gains. Other income declined significantly. A year ago this component benefited from the results of the ALM process, including the change in the value of derivatives used as economic hedges that did not qualify for SFAS 133 and the sale of whole loans.


Sales of debt securities resulted in a $9 million net loss in the second quarter of 2006 compared to a $325 million net gain in the second quarter of 2005.


Efficiency


The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2006 was 47.06 percent (46.01 percent before merger and restructuring charges) driven by continued positive operating leverage. Noninterest expense increased to $8.72 billion from $7.02 billion a year ago. Besides the addition of MBNA, expenses increased due to marketing spending related to consumer banking initiatives and revenue-related incentive compensation. Also included in second quarter 2006 expenses were $194 million in pre-tax merger and restructuring charges related to the MBNA acquisition.


The effective tax rate increased to 35.56 percent in the second quarter from 33.69 percent in the second quarter of 2005 primarily as a result of a $175 million cumulative charge reflecting recently passed tax legislation related to foreign sales corporation provision.


Credit Quality


Credit quality remained stable. Net charge-offs increased from the second quarter of 2005 due to the addition of MBNA and new advances on accounts previously securitized, partially offset by lower credit card bankruptcy charge-offs. Provision expense rose compared to the second quarter of 2005 due to the addition of MBNA and 2005 commercial credit reserve releases. These increases were partially offset by decreased credit card costs.


- Provision for credit losses was $1.01 billion, down from $1.27 billion


in the first quarter of 2006, and up from $875 million a year earlier.


- Net charge-offs were $1.02 billion, or 0.65 percent of average loans


and leases. Net charge-offs were $822 million, or 0.54 percent, in the


first quarter of 2006 and $880 million, or 0.68 percent, in the second


quarter of 2005. Reported net charge-offs excluded $27 million, or 0.01


percent of average loans and leases in the second quarter of 2006 and


$210 million or 0.14 percent in the first quarter of 2006 as a result


of impaired loan purchase accounting for MBNA.


Total managed net losses were $1.81 billion, or 0.98 percent of managed


loans and leases. This compared to $1.48 billion, or 0.84 percent, on


March 31, 2006 and $1.01 billion, or 0.77 percent on June 30, 2005.


- Nonperforming assets were $1.64 billion, or 0.25 percent of total


loans, leases and foreclosed properties, as of June 30, 2006. This


compared to $1.68 billion, or 0.27 percent, at March 31, 2006 and $1.90


billion, or 0.36 percent, on June 30, 2005.


- The total allowance for loan and lease losses was $9.08 billion, or


1.36 percent of loans and leases, at June 30, 2006. This compared to


$9.07 billion, or 1.46 percent, at March 31, 2006 and $8.32 billion, or


1.57 percent, at June 30, 2005, which did not include MBNA.


Capital Management


Total shareholders' equity was $127.84 billion at June 30, 2006. Period- end assets grew to $1.45 trillion. The Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 8.33 percent, compared to 8.45 percent on March 31, 2006 and 8.16 percent a year earlier.


During the quarter, Bank of America paid a cash dividend of $0.50 per share. The company issued approximately 30 million common shares primarily related to employee stock options and ownership plans, and repurchased slightly more than 83 million common shares in the second quarter of 2006. Period-ending common shares issued and outstanding were 4.53 billion for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 4.58 billion for the first quarter of 2006 and 4.02 billion for the second quarter of 2005.

(1) Fully taxable-equivalent basis

Revenue grew 52 percent to $10.48 billion and net income more than doubled to $3.11 billion. Last year's second quarter results did not include MBNA. On a pro forma basis (including MBNA's second quarter of 2005 results), revenue increased 10 percent while net income increased 42 percent.


Results were driven by increased service charges due to new account growth, higher debit card income due to increased usage and higher credit card income as Bank of America's combination with MBNA continued to exhibit positive results. Mortgage reported lower results primarily resulting from margin compression caused by higher interest rates as compared to the second quarter of 2005.


- Deposits revenue increased 16 percent to $4.29 billion compared to the


second quarter of 2005, while net income increased 30 percent to $1.33


billion. On a pro forma basis, deposits revenue increased 15 percent


compared to the second quarter of 2005, while net income increased 27


percent.


- Card Services had revenue of $5.47 billion, an increase of 163 percent


compared to the second quarter of 2005. Net income increased tenfold to


$1.6 billion, compared to $137 million. On a pro forma basis, Card


Services recorded an increase in revenue of 18 percent compared to the


second quarter of 2005, while net income more than doubled.


- Home Equity had revenue of $366 million, an increase of 7 percent from


the second quarter of 2005. Net income increased 18 percent to $128


million. On a pro forma basis, there was no material impact on either


revenue or net income.


- Mortgage had revenue of $344 million compared to $411 million in the


second quarter of 2005 and net income of $66 million compared to $97


million a year ago. On a pro forma basis, both revenue and net income


recognized slightly larger declines, as pro forma revenue for the


second quarter of 2005 was $424 million and pro forma net income was


$106 million a year ago.


- ALM/Other had revenue of $15 million compared to $383 million in the


second quarter of 2005 and a net loss of $65 million compared to net


income of $169 million in the second quarter of 2005. On a pro forma


basis, revenue was $422 million while net income was $194 million in


second quarter of 2005.

Trading-related assets(2) 332,688 332,432


(1) Fully taxable-equivalent basis


(2) Balances averaged for period


Revenue increased 16 percent to $5.72 billion from $4.91 billion. Net income was essentially flat at $1.72 billion. Loan growth helped mitigate the effects of a flattening yield curve.


The growth in revenue was fueled by increased capital markets activity. Capital Markets and Advisory Services benefited from positive sales and trading results in Liquid Products, Credit Products and Structured Products as previous investments in personnel and trading infrastructure came to fruition. Investment Banking benefited from increased market activity and continued leadership in leveraged debt underwriting. Treasury Services benefited from increased net interest income due to higher short-term interest rates.


Net income was impacted by increased provision expense primarily in Business Lending and increased performance-based compensation in Capital Markets and Advisory Services. Provision expense rose primarily due to the absence this quarter of benefits from the release of reserves in 2005 related to reduced uncertainties associated with the FleetBoston credit integration.


- Capital Markets and Advisory Services had revenue of $2.12 billion, an


increase of 39 percent from the second quarter of 2005. Net income


increased 57 percent to $504 million.


- Business Lending had revenue of $1.51 billion, slightly higher than the


second quarter of 2005. Net income decreased to $589 million from $789


million, primarily due to the provision benefits in 2005.


- Treasury Services had revenue of $1.70 billion, an increase of


15 percent from the second quarter of 2005. Net income increased


26 percent to $559 million.


- ALM/Other had revenue of $383 million and net income of $64 million.
