Bank of America Announces Third-Quarter Net Loss of $1.0 Billion
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 16 /CNW/ --
-- Approximately $2.6 Billion in Writedowns From Improvement in Company
Credit Spreads
-- Terminating Government Guarantee Term Sheet Costs $402 Million
-- Merrill Lynch Platform Continues to Boost Results
-- Extends $183.7 Billion in Credit in the Third Quarter
-- Tier 1 Capital Ratio Rises to 12.46 Percent; Tier 1 Common Ratio Rises
to 7.25 Percent
-- Adds $2.1 Billion to Reserve for Credit Losses
</pre>
<p>Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) today reported a third-quarter 2009 net loss of <money>$1.0 billion</money>. After deducting preferred dividends of <money>$1.2 billion</money>, including <money>$893 million</money> related to dividends paid to the U.S. government, the diluted loss per share was <money>$0.26</money>.</p>
<pre>
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050720/CLW086LOGO-b )
</pre>
<p>Those results compared with net income of <money>$1.2 billion</money>, or diluted earnings per share of <money>$0.15</money>, during the year-ago period.</p>
<p/>
<p>Through the first nine months of the year, the company had net income of <money>$6.5 billion</money>, or <money>$0.39</money> per share after preferred dividends, compared with <money>$5.8 billion</money>, or <money>$1.09</money> per share a year earlier.</p>
<p/>
<p>Results were negatively impacted by continued weakness in the U.S. and global economies and stress on the consumer, which continues to result in high credit costs. Earnings in the quarter were affected by <money>$2.6 billion</money> in pretax mark-to-market and credit valuation adjustments on certain liabilities, including the Merrill Lynch structured notes, and a <money>$402 million</money> pretax charge to pay the U.S. government to terminate its asset guarantee term sheet. Despite the loss in the period, the company strengthened its reserves, capital position and liquidity through efficient balance sheet and capital management.</p>
<p/>
<p>"The company's core performance was impacted by a number of non-core items," said Chief Executive Officer and <person>President Kenneth D. Lewis</person>. "The market's improved view of Bank of America's credit cost the company due to non-cash marks on liabilities.</p>
<p/>
<p>"Excluding those items, our revenue continued to hold up well," Lewis said. "Obviously, credit costs remain high, and that is our major financial challenge going forward. However, we are heartened by early positive signs, such as the leveling of delinquencies among our credit card customers."</p>

Third-Quarter 2009 Financial Summary
Revenue and Expense
</pre>
<p>Revenue net of interest expense on a fully taxable-equivalent basis rose 32 percent to <money>$26.4 billion</money> from <money>$19.9 billion</money> a year ago.</p>
<p/>
<p>Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was <money>$11.8 billion</money> compared with <money>$11.9 billion</money> in the third quarter of 2008. The decline was a result of securities sales and lower loan levels. The decrease was partially offset by a favorable rate environment, the addition of Merrill Lynch and higher deposit levels. The net interest yield narrowed 32 basis points to 2.61 percent mainly due to the previously mentioned factors and also was impacted by lower-yielding assets related to the Merrill Lynch acquisition.</p>
<p/>
<p>Noninterest income rose to <money>$14.6 billion</money> from <money>$8.0 billion</money> a year earlier. Higher trading account profits, investment and brokerage services fees and investment banking income reflected the addition of Merrill Lynch. These increases, as well as gains on the sale of debt securities, were partially offset by <money>$1.8 billion</money> in losses related to mark-to-market adjustments on the Merrill Lynch structured notes, as the company's credit spreads narrowed during the quarter, and <money>$714 million</money> in credit valuation adjustments on derivative liabilities. Card income declined <money>$1.6 billion</money> mainly from higher credit losses on securitized credit card loans and lower fee income.</p>
<p/>
<p>Noninterest expense increased to <money>$16.3 billion</money> from <money>$11.7 billion</money> a year earlier. Personnel costs and other general operating expenses rose, driven in part by the Merrill Lynch acquisition. The increase was partially offset by a change in compensation that delivers a greater portion of incentive pay over time. The increase also includes the <money>$402 million</money> pretax charge to pay the U.S. government to terminate its asset guarantee term sheet. Pretax merger and restructuring charges rose to <money>$594 million</money> from <money>$247 million</money> a year earlier.</p>
<p/>
<p>The efficiency ratio on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was 61.84 percent compared with 58.60 percent a year earlier.</p>
<p/>
<p>Pretax, pre-provision income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was <money>$10.1 billion</money> compared with <money>$8.2 billion</money> a year earlier.</p>
<pre>
Credit Quality
</pre>
<p>Deterioration in credit quality slowed compared with the prior quarter, however, credit costs remained high as most economies around the world remained weak. Consumers continued to be under stress as unemployment and underemployment rose and individuals spent longer periods without work. However, the increases in losses slowed in almost all consumer portfolios from the prior quarter.</p>
<p/>
<p>Declining home and commercial property values and reduced spending by consumers and businesses negatively impacted the commercial portfolios resulting in broad-based increases in criticized and nonperforming loans. The rate of the increases, however, was below the levels experienced in recent quarters. Commercial losses rose from the prior quarter driven primarily by higher charge-offs in the non-homebuilder portion of the commercial real estate portfolio. Higher losses in the commercial domestic portfolio occurred across a broad range of borrowers and industries.</p>
<p/>
<p>The provision for credit losses was <money>$11.7 billion</money>, <money>$1.7 billion</money> lower than the second quarter and <money>$5.3 billion</money> higher than the same period last year. The addition of <money>$2.1 billion</money> to the reserve for credit losses was lower than the second quarter as delinquencies improved in the unsecured consumer portfolios. This was partially offset by higher reserve additions on the impaired consumer portfolios obtained through acquisitions. Net charge-offs were <money>$923 million</money> higher than the prior quarter, though the pace of the increase slowed. Nonperforming assets were <money>$33.8 billion</money> compared with <money>$31.0 billion</money> at <chron>June 30, 2009</chron>, reflecting a slower rate of increase than in recent quarters. The 2008 coverage ratios and amounts shown in the following table do not include Merrill Lynch.</p>

<p>Global Banking net income fell to <money>$40 million</money>. Strong deposit growth and the impact of the Merrill Lynch acquisition were more than offset by higher credit and FDIC insurance costs.</p>
<p/>
<p>The provision for credit losses increased to <money>$2.3 billion</money> as net charge-offs continued to rise within the commercial real estate and domestic portfolios. Also contributing were reserve additions in the commercial real estate portfolio. These increases reflect deterioration across a broad range of industries and property types.</p>
<pre>
-- Commercial Banking revenue was flat at $2.9 billion reflecting strong
deposit growth and credit spread improvement on loan yields offset by
lower residual net interest income, narrower spreads on deposits and
reduced loan balances. Net income was negatively impacted by a
significant increase in credit costs and FDIC insurance costs.
-- Corporate Banking and Investment Banking revenue rose 24 percent or
$345 million driven by the acquisition of Merrill Lynch and strong
deposit growth. The increase was partially offset by the costs of
credit hedging and lower residual net interest income. Net income was
negatively impacted by higher credit costs, operating expenses
associated with the Merrill Lynch acquisition and FDIC insurance
costs.
</pre>
<p>Note: Total investment banking income in the quarter of <money>$1.3 billion</money> was shared primarily between Global Banking and Global Markets based on an internal fee-sharing arrangement among the two segments. Debt and equity issuance fees primarily led to an increase from the year-ago quarter while advisory fees increased 71 percent, reflecting the larger investment banking platform from the Merrill Lynch acquisition.</p>

-- Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management net income increased 9 percent
to $310 million from a year earlier as the addition of Merrill Lynch
was partially offset by higher credit costs. Net revenue rose to $3.0
billion from $1.0 billion a year ago as investment and brokerage
income
increased mainly from the addition of Merrill Lynch.
-- U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management swung to a net
loss of $52 million as net revenue declined and credit costs rose
mainly due to a single large commercial charge-off. Net revenue fell
11
percent driven by lower equity market levels and reduced net interest
income.
-- Columbia Management's net loss narrowed to $48 million compared with a
net loss of $356 million a year earlier driven by lower support for
certain cash funds. As a result of actions taken during the quarter,
Columbia's Prime Funds no longer have exposure to structured
investment
vehicles or other troubled assets and all capital support agreements
have been terminated.

Reconciliation to GAAP financial measures
The Corporation evaluates its business utilizing non-GAAP ratios including
the tangible common equity ratio. The tangible common equity ratio
represents common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible
assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax
liabilities divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets

liabilities. This measure is used to evaluate the Corporation's use of
equity (i.e., capital). We believe the use of this non-GAAP measure
provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation.

Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries
Reconciliation - Managed to GAAP
(Dollars in millions)
</pre>
<p> </p>
<pre>
The Corporation reports Global Card Services on a managed basis. Reporting
on a managed basis is consistent with the way that management evaluates
the results of Global Card Services. Managed basis assumes that
securitized loans 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP).
</pre>
<p> </p>
<pre>
The performance of the managed portfolio is important in understanding
Global 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 Card Services' managed income
statement line items differ from a held basis reported as follows:
</pre>
<p> </p>
<pre>
-- Managed net interest income includes Global Card Services' 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 Card Services' 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 Card
Services.
-- Provision for credit losses represents the provision for credit losses
on held loans combined with realized credit losses associated with the
securitized loan portfolio.
