KEY POINTS

 

    Net interest income increased 29% largely driven by merger activity

 

  Combined net interest income up 3%, as the effect of higher trading-related net interest income, loan growth, $24 million of 4Q06 adjustments and improved deposit pricing were somewhat offset by increased borrowing costs as well as the effect of the 3Q06 period-end sale of $12.9 billion of securities and the effect of the inverted yield curve

KEY POINTS

 

    Cash overhead efficiency ratio declined 43 bps to 55.17% including the benefit of the Golden West merger

 

    Net interest margin improved 6 bps to 3.09% as benefits of the 3Q06 period-end sale of $12.9 billion of securities, higher trading-related net interest income and improved deposit pricing were somewhat offset by growth in lower-spread assets, the addition of Golden West, higher borrowing costs and the continued effect of the yield curve

 

    Effective tax rate of 32.46% reflects the addition of Golden West; estimated standalone effective tax rate of 33.32%

 

    Tangible capital ratio of 4.75% reflects the addition of Golden West

 

    Average diluted shares up 322 million reflecting 326 million shares issued in the Golden West merger and the net effect of employee stock option and restricted share activity somewhat offset by the repurchase of 7.1 million shares during the quarter at an average cost of $55.22 per share and the ongoing effect of 3Q06 repurchases

KEY POINTS

 

    Securities declined $13.6 billion, or 11% largely reflecting the 3Q06 period-end sale of $12.9 billion in securities

 

    Commercial loans increased $3.7 billion, or 2%; up 12% from 4Q05; driven by strength in middle-market and business banking, commercial real estate portfolios and large corporate

 

    Consumer loans increased $127.7 billion and $159.1 billion from 4Q05 driven by the addition of Golden West; Combined consumer loans up 2% reflecting strength in auto and real estate-secured

 

  Increase from 4Q05 reflects strength in real estate-secured loans including a $12.5 billion period-end 4Q05 transfer of loans from held for sale and $15.3 billion increase due to Westcorp

 

    Other earning assets up $7.2 billion largely due to Golden West; Combined basis up $3.6 billion driven by a $1.7 billion increase in fed funds sold and repos

 

    Total earning assets include $4.2 billion of consumer loans held for sale and $4.8 billion of margin loans

 

    Long-term debt (original maturity > 12 months) increased $58.6 billion driven by the addition of Golden West as well as the effect of 4Q06 issuances of $10.4 billion and the continuing effect of 3Q06 issuances of $13.8 billion

 

    Core deposits increased $71.2 billion driven by the addition of Golden West; Combined core deposits grew 2% as strength in retail CDs offset declines in savings and DDA

 

  Combined period-end deposits up 4%

RECORD SEGMENT EARNINGS OF $255 MILLION, UP 8% AND 42% FROM 4Q05

 

    Revenue of $1.6 billion was up 9%; up 15% from 4Q05

    Expenses increased 9% on higher commissions and corporate allocations

 

  Retail brokerage pre-tax profit margin of 26%

 

    Assets under management increased 10%

 

  Driven by $17.8 billion addition of assets retained from $24 billion transferred to Parent in connection with the 4Q05 Corporate and Institutional Trust divestiture

 

  Also reflects market appreciation of approximately $5.0 billion, and $3.2 billion relating to Golden West

OVERALL CREDIT QUALITY REMAINED SOLID AND STABLE

 

    Total NPAs of $1.4 billion increased $600 million; up 6 bps to 32 bps

 

  Driven by the addition of $700 million associated with Golden West

 

  Golden West consumer loans classified as nonaccrual by 90 days past due vs. 180 days past due for balance of mortgage portfolio

 

    Provision expense of $206 million includes $28 million relating to credit card and $22 million due to a refinement of our reserving methodology on a portion of our business banking loan portfolio

 

  Net charge-offs of $140 million, or 14 bps of average loans, increased $24 million driven by increases in auto and other consumer loans

 

    Allowance for credit losses of $3.5 billion, or 0.84% of net loans, increased $351 million including $303 million relating to the addition of Golden West

 

  Allowance as a percentage of nonaccruals and restructured loans declined to 272% from 520% due to the addition of Golden West’s well-collateralized real-estate secured portfolio

SUMMARY OPERATING RESULTS

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 principle. 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.

We continuously update segment information for changes that occur in the management of our businesses. In 3Q06, we moved deposit balances relating to certain brokerage sweep accounts originated in the General Bank to Capital Management, which resulted in these certain brokerage sweep accounts being included in Capital Management’s results consistent with how they are managed. In 1Q06, we transferred certain financial advisors to Wealth Management from Capital Management relating to the introduction of the new investment management platform in Wealth Management. We have updated information for 2005 to reflect these changes. The impact to segment earnings for full year 2005 as a result of these and other changes was a $115 million decrease in the General Bank, a $116 million increase in Capital Management, an $8 million decrease in Wealth Management, a $4 million decrease in the Corporate and Investment Bank and an $11 million increase in the Parent.

In a rising rate environment, Wachovia benefits from a widening spread between deposit costs and wholesale funding costs. However, our funds transfer pricing (FTP) system, described below, credits this benefit to deposit-providing business units on a lagged basis. The effect of the FTP system results in rising charges to business units for funding to support predominantly floating-rate assets. This benefit of higher rates earned on floating-rate assets and lagging rates on longer duration deposits is captured in the central money book in the Parent segment.

In order to remove interest rate risk from each core business segment, the management reporting model employs a 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 can be repriced, allocates interest income and/or interest expense to each segment so its resulting net interest income is insulated from interest rate risk.

In July 2006 the FASB issued final guidance on income taxes and leveraged leases: FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (FIN 48) and FSP FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction” (FSP 13-2). FSP 13-2 amends SFAS 13 such that changes that affect the timing of cash flows but not the total net income under a leveraged lease will trigger a recalculation of the lease. FIN 48 clarifies the criteria for recognition of income tax benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The effective date for both standards is January 1, 2007, with any cumulative effect of adoption recorded as an adjustment, net of applicable taxes, to beginning retained earnings. Please see pages 23-24 of Exhibit 19 to Wachovia’s Third Quarter 2006 Report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of these matters.

We have two primary classes of leveraged lease transactions that are affected by FSP 13-2: Lease-In, Lease-Out transactions (LILOs) and a second group of transactions that are broadly referred to as Sale-In, Lease-Out (SILOs). SILOs principally include service contract and qualified technological equipment leases. We have completed our assessment of the impact of these new standards on our leveraged lease portfolio, and on January 1, 2007, we recorded a $1.4 billion after-tax charge to beginning retained earnings entirely related to our portfolio of LILOs and SILOs. The amount of this reduction to beginning retained earnings will be recognized as income over the remaining terms of the affected leases, generally 35 years to 40 years. The impact on 2007 results of this charge will be a reduction to net income of $91 million after-tax. We will remain well capitalized for regulatory capital purposes following the reduction to retained earnings relating to the affected leases.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (SFAS 158), which changes the presentation requirements for assets and liabilities relating to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, measured solely as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, as an asset or liability on the balance sheet. Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized prior service costs, which have previously been recorded as part of the postretirement asset or liability, are to be included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. SFAS 158 was effective on December 31, 2006, and on that date we recorded a $1.1 billion after-tax ($1.7 billion pre-tax) reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income, a component

of stockholders’ equity, for the amounts of unrecognized actuarial losses and prior service costs. Please see page 23 of Exhibit 19 to Wachovia’s Third Quarter 2006 Report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of this matter. Information regarding our pension and other postretirement plans can be found in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Banking regulators have issued an interim rule under which the reduction of stockholders’ equity associated with SFAS 158 is not to be reflected in the determination of regulatory capital. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 158 does not have an impact on our regulatory capital ratios at this time.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires that both an income statement approach and a balance sheet approach be used when evaluating whether an error is material to an entity’s financial statements, based on all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The SEC staff issued SAB 108 to address what they identified as diversity in practice whereby entities were using either an income statement approach or a balance sheet approach, but not both. We have consistently used the income statement approach in prior periods. SAB 108 became effective December 31, 2006, and any material adjustments arising from the adoption of SAB 108 are recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings.

In 4Q06, we completed our analysis under SAB 108 using both the income statement and balance sheet approaches, and concluded that we have no prior year misstatements that were material to our financial statements. However, in the process of performing the above review, we elected to record certain prior year adjustments to a number of income statement line items that were not significant on an individual or aggregate basis. We recorded adjustments in 4Q06 to correct these items, which are shown in the table below and are referred to as “4Q06 adjustments” in these materials.

We recorded adjustments to net interest income and service charges to reflect certain items that in the past had been recorded either when billed to the customer or on a lagged basis, but going forward will be recorded as earned. We recorded additional salaries and employee benefits expense to reflect the carryover of prior years’ unused paid time off and additional sundry expense relating to prior year’s invoices received and processed after year-end, but for which the services had been rendered prior to year-end. We also recorded additional other noninterest income for amounts recorded in other comprehensive income relating to a hedging relationship that had been discontinued in a prior year. In the tax provision, we recorded the tax effect of the above-referenced items and certain other adjustments to current taxes payable. The net after-tax impact of all of these adjustments was a $13 million increase to net income.

On October 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Golden West Financial Corporation, a California-based financial services company. Under the purchase accounting method, Golden West is not included in our financial results prior to 4Q06. In 2006 we recorded $40 million in net merger-related and restructuring expenses related to the Golden West integration.

In 4Q06, we completed the sale of substantially all of our HomEq Servicing business. We recorded $41 million of disposition-related costs in 2006, which were reflected as merger-related and restructuring expenses.

In 4Q05, we completed the sale of most of our Corporate and Institutional Trust (CIT) businesses and recognized a pre-tax gain of $447 million ($214 million after-tax). In 4Q06, we recognized an additional pre-tax gain of $76 million ($46 million after-tax) based on the level of business retained in the 12-month period

following the completion of the transaction. The gain on sale is presented, net of applicable taxes, as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income.

On March 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Westcorp and WFS Financial Inc, a California-based auto loan originator business and commercial bank. Financial results for 2006 include ten month’s results of the acquired Westcorp entities under the purchase accounting method. The ongoing auto loan origination business activity is included in the Commercial sub-segment of the General Bank and the commercial banking business is included in the Retail sub-segment of the General Bank.

In 1Q06, we issued a junior subordinated note and a forward contract for the sale of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock to a trust. The trust then issued $2.5 billion of securities, referred to as WITS (Wachovia Income Trust Securities) to investors. The junior subordinated note qualifies as tier 1 capital and is reflected as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The offering of the WITS was led by the Corporate and Investment Bank, and the associated fee of $43 million received from the Parent is included in its segment revenue and eliminated in the Parent.

SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments,” requires that compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in income and is effective for share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006. We adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options in 2002. Accordingly, the primary impact to us from implementation of SFAS 123R is the different treatment of awards to retirement-eligible employees, which now must be expensed in full at the date of grant, or from the date of grant to the date that an employee will be retirement-eligible, if that is before the end of the vesting period. In 1Q06, we made our annual Corporate and CIB stock grants and 1Q06 includes $98 million of increased employee stock compensation expense, primarily related to the impact of awards granted to retirement-eligible employees. Capital Management made their annual grant in 2Q06 and Capital Management’s 2Q06 results include $9 million of employee stock compensation expense related to awards granted to retirement-eligible employees.

We adopted SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” effective January 1, 2006. SFAS 156 requires that all servicing assets and liabilities initially be recognized at fair value, rather than based on an allocated fair value amount. Additionally, SFAS 156 permits entities to choose to recognize individual classes of servicing assets at fair value on an ongoing basis, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings. We elected to record a class of residential mortgage servicing rights at fair value with the adoption of SFAS 156. Accordingly, we recorded a $41 million after-tax cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings, as required by SFAS 156, for the difference between the carrying amount of these servicing rights and their fair value at the date of adoption. At December 31, 2006, the fair value of servicing assets recorded under this election was $300 million. Changes in fair value for these servicing assets resulted in a $2 million loss in 2006 included in other banking fees.

We entered the credit card market as a direct issuer beginning in January 2006. This coincided with Wachovia terminating our existing joint marketing agreement with MBNA Corporation as a result of the Bank of America/MBNA merger, which closed on January 1, 2006. Upon consummation of that merger, MBNA paid us a $100 million termination fee, which is recorded in other income in 1Q06. In 2006, we recorded $78 million of noninterest expense associated with the credit card business and the provision for credit losses includes $37 million related to credit card outstandings.

In 1Q06, changes in fair value of certain derivatives held for other-than-trading purposes, which are economic hedges not designated or accounted for as accounting hedges, are presented in other income. Previously, for these derivatives, the changes in fair value were included in trading account profits. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. The impact for full year 2005 was an increase in trading account profits of $41 million and a corresponding decrease in other income. Additionally, in 2Q06, we reclassified certain asset-based fees received from third party mutual funds to fiduciary and asset management fees from commissions and updated amounts for prior periods. The impact to 1Q06 and full year 2005 was a reduction in commissions of $16 million and $68 million, respectively, and a corresponding increase, respectively, to fiduciary and asset management fees.

Net interest income of $4.6 billion increased 29% driven by the addition of Golden West. Combined net interest income rose 3% driven by growth in trading-related net interest income, loan and securitization warehouses, 2% growth in deposits and improved deposit pricing. These benefits were somewhat offset by the unfavorable mix shift in deposits toward lower-spread categories and the effect of an inverted yield curve, the effect of higher borrowing costs due to increased debt issuances and the 3Q06 sale of $12.9 billion of securities. Combined net interest income grew 3% from 4Q05 driven by the addition of Westcorp and other growth somewhat offset by lower trading-related net interest income.

Net interest margin of 3.09% increased 6 bps as improvement relating to the effect of the 3Q06 quarter-end sale of $12.9 billion of securities in advance of the Golden West merger, higher trading-related net interest income, improved deposit pricing, and the effect of 4Q06 adjustments was somewhat offset by growth in lower-spread commercial and consumer loans and securitization warehouses, the 3 bps effect of the Golden West merger, a continued shift in deposits toward lower-spread categories and increased borrowing costs. The margin decreased 16 bps from 4Q05 on growth in lower-spread consumer and commercial loans and securities, a shift in deposits toward lower-spread categories, and the effect of Golden West, partially offset by the addition of Westcorp. Combined net interest margin increased 10 bps from 3Q06 due to the factors outlined above except that the impact of Golden West added 1 bp to net interest margin on improved spreads on the Golden West loan portfolio.

Average trading assets remained relatively stable and decreased 10% from 4Q05 largely reflecting more counterparty netting and the movement of the commercial mortgage warehouse to held for sale. Average VAR declined to $19 million from $23 million in 3Q06. Average securities decreased $13.6 billion, driven by the $12.9 billion 3Q06 quarter-end sale of securities in advance of the Golden West merger. The average duration of the securities portfolio was 3.4 years vs. 3.5 years in 3Q06. Combined average securities declined $14.4 billion driven by the above factors as well as the sale of Golden West securities at the beginning of 4Q06, and Golden West’s 3Q06 charitable contribution. Average securities were down 6% from 4Q05.

Average loans rose 47% and 74% from 4Q05 driven by merger activity. Combined average loans rose 2% on strength in commercial and consumer loans. Combined average loans rose 17% from 4Q05 driven by the addition of Westcorp. Average commercial loans grew $3.7 billion, or 2%, driven by strength in middle-market and business banking, commercial real estate portfolios and large corporate lending. This growth was somewhat offset by the sale of $381 million of commercial loans during the quarter, which reduced average loans by $113 million. Commercial loans grew 12% from 4Q05. Average consumer loans grew $127.7 billion and grew $159.1 billion from 4Q05 largely driven by merger activity. Combined average consumer loans grew 2% driven by growth in auto and real estate-secured. Consumer loan growth was reduced by the effect of the sale of $1.7 billion of student loans, which reduced average loans by $616 million during the quarter. Combined average consumer loans grew $43.4 billion from 4Q05, reflecting the addition of Westcorp ($15.3 billion), growth in real estate-secured and the 4Q05 transfer of $12.5 billion of home equity lines from loans held for sale.

(a) Nonperforming assets included in loans held for sale at December 31, September 30, June 30, and March 31, 2006, and at December 31, 2005, were $16 million, $23 million, $23 million, $24 million and $32 million, respectively.

Average loans held for sale decreased $202 million largely reflecting higher commercial mortgage securitization activity. In 4Q06 we sold/securitized $8.0 billion of commercial and $6.9 billion of consumer mortgages out of held for sale. In 4Q06 we originated $19.8 billion of mortgages and delivered $6.9 billion to agencies/privates.

Average other earning assets increased 28% largely due to Golden West, and were down 4% from 4Q05 due to lower reverse repos, partly a result of lower funding needs in 2Q06 following the Westcorp merger. Combined average other earning assets increased $3.6 billion driven by a $1.7 billion increase in federal funds sold and repos, a $1.1 billion transfer out of securities and higher interest-bearing bank balances. Total average earning assets grew 26% and 36% from 4Q05 driven by merger activity. Combined average earnings assets decreased 1% reflecting the 3Q06 period-end sale of $12.9 billion of securities and reductions in loans held for sale largely offset by loan growth.

Average core deposits increased 24% and 26% from 4Q05 driven by merger activity. On a Combined basis, average core deposits increased 2% as growth in CDs more than offset declines in savings and money market.

Average short-term borrowings decreased 8% and 18% from 4Q05, which was driven by the 4Q05 deconsolidation of our conduits.

Average long-term debt increased 73%, including the addition of Golden West. Combined average long-term debt rose $3.6 billion, or 3%, reflecting the full effect of issuing $13.8 billion in 3Q06 and the $6.2 billion average effect of 4Q06 issuances of $10.4 billion, offset by normal maturities. Included in 4Q06 activity were on-balance sheet securitizations of $1.2 billion of auto loans.

FEE AND OTHER INCOME

(See Table on Page 9)

Fee and other income of $4.0 billion increased $515 million, or 15%, and grew 33% from 4Q05. Growth from 3Q06 was driven by $273 million relating to our commercial mortgage securitization business, $115 million in 4Q06 adjustments, growth in other market-related businesses as well as $37 million due to Golden West. Growth from 4Q05 reflects the drivers listed above, in addition to strength in service charges. Fees represented 46% of total revenue in 4Q06 and 49% in 3Q06. Combined fee and other income increased 3% and 32% from 4Q05. Excluding Golden West’s 3Q06 $367 million of securities gains relating to a charitable contribution of appreciated securities, fee and other income increased 14%, or $481 million.

Service charges were up 1% and 16% from 4Q05, includes $22 million of 4Q06 adjustments. While commercial service charges were up 5%, the 4Q06 adjustments more than offset declines from a seasonally strong 3Q06. Consumer service charges were down 1% linked quarter on lower volumes. Growth from 4Q05 was driven by a 19% increase in consumer service charges resulting from the 1Q06 introduction of tiered pricing in addition to higher transaction activity, which was coupled with a 12% increase in commercial service charges on higher volumes.

Other banking fees of $452 million rose 6% and 13% from 4Q05 driven by merger activity. Combined other banking fees were up 1% as higher interchange revenues were largely offset by a $21 million decline relating to the HomEq divestiture. Other banking fees were up 10% year over year as strength in interchange fees on higher transaction and sales volumes and growth in international trade finance fees more than offset a decline in mortgage banking fees.

Commissions of $633 million increased 13% and 10% from 4Q05. Combined commissions were up 11% as a 16% increase in brokerage commissions, reflecting improving retail transaction activity, was only partially offset by a 4% decline in insurance commissions. Commissions increased 9% from 4Q05 on a 10% increase in brokerage commissions and 7% growth in insurance commissions driven by the addition of Westcorp as well as customer acquisition success in the core insurance business.

Fiduciary and asset management fees grew 4% to a record $856 million driven by growth in managed account fees, the addition of Golden West and increased market valuations. Results increased 8% from 4Q05 reflecting higher managed account fees and merger activity, as well as strong assets under management growth that was partially offset by the 4Q05 sale of the Corporate and Institutional Trust businesses.

Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees of $433 million increased $141 million driven by record results in equities originations, M&A and loan syndications in addition to continued strength in asset-backed and high grade originations. Results were up $108 million, or 33%, from 4Q05 as strength in M&A, high grade, loan syndications and equities were partially offset by a decline in structured products.

Trading account profits of $29 million declined $94 million driven by lower equities results relating to dividend trading strategies, which increased net interest income by $53 million. Declines also reflect losses in structured products and lower results in global rates products. Trading account profits increased $60 million from 4Q05 on improvement in credit products, structured products, equities and global rates products.

Principal investing recorded net gains of $142 million, up $51 million from 3Q06 on both direct investment gains and fund distributions. Net gains were up $7 million from 4Q05.

Securities gains were $47 million vs. $94 million in 3Q06 and losses of $74 million in 4Q05. These results included $46 million of net gains in the investment portfolio. Impairment losses were $26 million compared with $4 million in impairment losses in 3Q06. Securities losses in 4Q05 included $19 million in impairment losses. Combined securities gains declined $415 million from 3Q06 levels, which included $367 million in Golden West securities gains relating to a charitable contribution of appreciated securities.

Other income of $742 million increased $327 million. 4Q06 results include $217 million relating to commercial mortgage securitization activity, including $41 million of asymmetrical hedge gains on the warehouse compared with asymmetrical hedge losses of $63 million on the warehouse as of September 30, 2006. Prior to 1Q06 this commercial mortgage securitization activity was reflected in trading results. Also contributing to the increase were 4Q06 adjustments of $93 million and a $32 million increase in consumer loan securitization and sale income to $121 million from $89 million in 3Q06. Partially offsetting the increases were mortgage servicing rights hedging losses of $7 million versus $26 million in hedging gains in 3Q06 and lower fees relating to the continued account servicing of the Corporate and Institutional Trust divested businesses, $3 million in 4Q06 vs.

Wachovia 4Q06 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

$21 million in 3Q06. Affordable housing write-downs reduced other income by $27 million compared with $16 million in 3Q06. Other income increased $426 million vs. 4Q05 driven by the inclusion of commercial mortgage securitization activity and higher mortgage and other consumer loan securitization and sale income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

(See Table on Page 10)

Total noninterest expense increased 22%, or $886 million, driven primarily by the addition of $356 million relating to Golden West, increased revenue-based incentives, as well as $198 million related to 4Q06 adjustments. In addition, expenses also reflect $24 million of efficiency initiative costs, $28 million of de novo expansion and branch consolidation costs and an incremental $36 million related to our credit card business. 3Q06 expenses included a favorable resolution of franchise tax matters. Total noninterest expense increased 18% vs. 4Q05 due primarily to Golden West, as well as the 4Q06 adjustments and increased revenue-based personnel expense. Combined total noninterest expense increased 3% and 9% from 4Q05. Other noninterest expense increased $533 million, or 13%, excluding Golden West’s $372 million of sundry expense relating to a charitable contribution of appreciated securities in 3Q06. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 19%, and 22% from 4Q05, driven by the addition of $204 million relating to Golden West, increased revenue-based incentives as well as $99 million in 4Q06 adjustments. Combined salaries and employee benefits expense increased 10% and 14% from 4Q05. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $62 million driven by the addition of $44 million relating to Golden West as well as de novo expansion. Professional and consulting fees rose $39 million, reflecting higher project activity including costs from our efficiency initiatives. Sundry expense increased $232 million from 3Q06 levels, which included a favorable resolution of franchise tax matters and lower general liability insurance costs. Growth included a $99 million 4Q06 adjustment as well as higher legal costs. Other intangible amortization of $141 million included $104 million in deposit base intangible amortization and $37 million in other intangible amortization.

Net interest income was up 54% and 62% from 4Q05, largely reflecting the addition of Golden West. Average core deposits rose $70.5 billion and average loans rose $125.6 billion. Compared with 4Q05, core deposits rose $80.0 billion and loans increased $132.0 billion. When compared with Combined 3Q06 results, net interest income remained relatively flat as narrowing spreads muted the effect of continued loan and deposit growth. Core deposit growth of 3% was driven by increases in CDs and money market checking. Average loans increased 1% and reflected a continued shift from variable rate to fixed rate loans. Net interest income rose 3% from 4Q05 on loan and deposit growth of 8% and 9%, respectively.

Fee and other income increased 6% and 28% from 4Q05, driven by the addition of Golden West and other growth outlined below. When compared with Combined results, fee and other income grew 3% and 24% from 4Q05. Results from 3Q06 were driven by loan sale and securitization gains and higher mortgage banking fees somewhat offset by lower service charges. Gains on the sale of branches were $12 million vs. $13 million in 3Q06. Growth from Combined 4Q05 was driven by increased service charges largely reflecting the 1Q06 introduction of tiered pricing and higher daily transactional activity, as well as higher loan and branch sale gains and strength in interchange and mortgage banking fees.

Combined mortgage-related fee and other income of $90 million declined $7 million on lower origination volumes and was up slightly from 4Q05. Net gains on mortgage deliveries and servicing sales were $29 million compared with $12 million in 3Q06. Mark-to-market valuation losses on the servicing rights portfolio were $22 million lower than 3Q06 while income relating to economic hedges on the servicing rights portfolio decreased $32 million from 3Q06 to a loss of $8 million. The consumer mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $27.0 billion at the end of 4Q06.

Provision expense increased $11 million and $4 million from 4Q05. Combined provision increased $11 million reflecting higher real estate-secured losses and lower recoveries.

Noninterest expense increased 23% and 20% from 4Q05 largely reflecting the addition of Golden West. Compared with Combined 3Q06 results, noninterest expense increased 2% driven by higher corporate allocations, volume-based expenses, credit card costs and personnel expense somewhat offset by lower incentives. 4Q06 included $28 million in de novo and California branch expansion and consolidation expenses as well as $36 million in costs relating to the credit card business compared with $24 million in de novo branch expansion and branch consolidations expense and $16 million in costs relating to the credit card business in 3Q06. Expenses rose 2% from Combined 4Q05 largely reflecting de novo branch expansion, credit card and higher salaries and benefits expense somewhat offset by lower revenue-based incentive compensation costs and corporate allocations.

(a) Data prior to fourth quarter 2006 does not include Golden West mortgage production.

Loan production increased $8.6 billion and $9.2 billion from 4Q05 to $26.6 billion driven by the addition of the Golden West platform which originated $9.8 billion of mortgages during the quarter. Excluding $9.8 billion of Golden West originations, production decreased $1.2 billion as strength in branch-produced mortgages was more than offset by seasonally lower student lending and lower other real estate-secured activity. Loan production declined $599 million from 4Q05 as strength in small business was offset by declines in other categories.

Net interest income was up 2% and rose 36% from 4Q05 on both loan and deposit growth. Loans increased 2%, or $2.2 billion, on growth in business banking and middle-market lending and auto loans as well as increases in commercial real estate. Loans grew 29% from 4Q05 driven by growth in auto loans largely due to the addition of Westcorp and growth in middle-market and business banking, commercial real estate and dealer financial services. Core deposits increased 3% driven by strong production. Including off-balance sheet sweep products, deposits increased 5%. Core deposits rose 1% vs. 4Q05 as the addition of Westcorp more than offset declines relating to commercial customers moving deposits to off-balance sheet sweep products.

Fee and other income increased 2% as higher loan sale gains were largely offset by lower securities gains. Commercial service charges decreased 2% from seasonally higher 3Q06 levels. Fee and other income increased 23% from 4Q05 driven by the addition of Westcorp as well as higher commercial service charges resulting from higher volumes.

Intersegment revenue increased $11 million reflecting strong referrals to the Corporate and Investment Bank.

Provision expense increased $14 million driven by continued growth in auto loan outstandings and continued seasoning of the portfolio as well as provision related to loan sales.

Noninterest expense increased 6% driven by higher corporate allocations, volume-based sundry expense and higher personnel expenses. Noninterest expense rose 22% vs. 4Q05 on higher personnel expenses driven by the addition of Westcorp, the hiring of additional business bankers, as well as higher volume-based sundry expense.

Net interest income of $150 million was stable as tightening spreads offset loan and deposit growth. Net interest income was down 2% from 4Q05, also due to tightening spreads which offset loan growth of 13%.

Fee and other income of $200 million increased 2% as gains from sales of non-strategic insurance accounts and growth in commissions, partly from acquired Golden West customers, more than offset lower trust and investment management fees due to a delay in the expected conversion of clients to the new investment management platform. Growth of 6% from 4Q05 was driven by increased commissions, gains from sales of non-strategic insurance accounts and higher banking fees.

Noninterest expense was flat as increased corporate allocations and technology costs, primarily associated with the new investment management platform, offset lower incentives. The 7% decline from 4Q05 was driven by lower salaries and incentives and lower corporate allocations.

Net interest income increased 3% on a 4% increase in International Trade Finance loans and 1% growth in core deposits. Net interest income grew 9% from 4Q05, due to loan and deposit growth of 28% and 7%, respectively, driven by strong organic growth coupled with the acquisition of Union Bank of California’s international correspondent banking business (UBOC) which closed in October 2005.

Fee and other income decreased 3% related to seasonality in International Trade Finance as well as lower service charges due to Treasury Services customers’ compensating balances covering more fees due to higher earnings credit rates. Fee and other income was up 4% from 4Q05 driven by the addition of UBOC as well as higher usage of Treasury Services electronic product offerings which were partially offset by a decline in Treasury Services paper product volumes.

Noninterest expense increased 7% primarily driven by higher corporate allocations, and increased 2% from 4Q05 primarily due to the effect of the UBOC transaction.

The Treasury Services business is managed in the Corporate and Investment Bank. Product revenues and earnings are also realized in other business lines within the company, including the General Bank and Wealth Management. Total treasury services product revenues for the company were $681 million in 4Q06 vs. $668 million in 3Q06 and $653 million in 4Q05.

Net interest income of $254 million increased 4% driven primarily by the impact of higher transaction activity. Net interest income was up 10% from 4Q05, driven by wider deposit spreads and the impact of higher transaction activity.

Fee and other income of $1.1 billion was up 11% on increased retail transaction activity, growth in managed account fees and higher valuations on investments used to fund deferred compensation plans (essentially offset by related expenses). Fees grew 15% from 4Q05 due primarily to growth in managed account fees and increased retail transaction activity.

Noninterest expense was up 10% on higher commissions expense, corporate allocations and deferred compensation expense. Noninterest expense increased 9% from 4Q05 on higher commissions expense, deferred compensation and other incentives, partially offset by lower litigation expense.

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 transaction, which is the combination of Wachovia and Prudential Financial’s retail brokerage operations. The entity is a consolidated subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation for GAAP purposes. Wachovia Corporation owns 62% of Wachovia Securities retail brokerage and Prudential Financial, Inc. owns 38%. Prudential Financial’s minority interest is included in minority interest reported in the Parent (see page 37) and in Wachovia Corporation’s consolidated statements of income on a GAAP basis, which differs from our segment reporting as noted on pages 3 and 20. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, Prudential Financial’s pre-tax minority interest on a GAAP basis was $94 million.

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

Total assets under management were up $26 billion, or 10%, driven by the retention of $17.8 billion of assets related to the 4Q05 Corporate and Institutional Trust divestiture (previously held in the Parent), $5.0 billion growth related to market appreciation and $3.2 billion relating to Golden West. Growth of 20% from 4Q05 was due to the aforementioned retained assets related to the Corporate and Institutional Trust divestiture, increased market valuations, net asset inflows and the impact of MetWest Capital Management and Golden West.

Capital Management Eliminations

In addition to the above sub-segments, Capital Management results include eliminations among business units. Certain brokerage commissions earned on mutual fund sales by our brokerage sales force are eliminated and deferred in the consolidation of Capital Management reported results. In 4Q06, brokerage revenue and expense eliminations were a reduction of $2 million and $4 million, respectively.

Net interest income increased $13 million, or 10%, and declined $249 million from 4Q05. Results reflect the liability sensitive nature of our securities portfolio and wholesale funding operations, which serves to hedge our asset sensitive core business activities. The benefits to the Parent of purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Golden West balance sheet, 4Q06 adjustments of $23 million and wider funds transfer pricing spreads (see page 20 for description) were partly offset by the funding charge associated with the addition of Golden West to the portfolio, growth in wholesale borrowing, compression of spreads in the funding of investment portfolios and lower securities balances. The decline in net interest income from 4Q05 was driven by the compression of spreads in funding the investment portfolio, lower contribution of hedge-related derivatives, in addition to the wholesale borrowing growth being only partially offset by growth in the securities portfolio.

Provision for credit losses increased $63 million linked quarter and $35 million from 4Q05 driven by growth in the credit card, commercial loan and auto loan portfolios.

Fee and other income declined $23 million and was up $136 million vs. 4Q05. 4Q06 results included $115 million in 4Q06 adjustments, which were more than offset by the following: a $34 million decline in securities gains, a $21 million decline related to the HomEq divestiture, a $21 million decline in fees relating to the continued account servicing of the Corporate and Institutional Trust divested businesses, and eliminations of $34 million related primarily to underwriting and structuring provided by the Corporate and Investment Bank for company-related activities as compared with $20 million of eliminations in 3Q06. Additionally, affordable housing tax credit eliminations were down $41 million. (Affordable housing results are recorded in Corporate and Investment Bank fee and other income net of the related tax benefit; this tax benefit is eliminated for consolidated reporting purposes in Parent fee and other income.)

The increase in fee and other income of $136 million from 4Q05 included $124 million in higher securities gains and 4Q06 adjustments of $115 million which was partially offset by a $51 million decline in fiduciary fees from the effect of the sale of the Corporate and Institutional Trust businesses as well as a $24 million decline in trading profits on higher economic hedging losses.

Noninterest expense increased $250 million and $139 million vs. 4Q05, primarily due to $198 million in 4Q06 adjustments. Linked quarter increases also included higher legal costs, professional and consulting fees in addition to higher occupancy expense partially driven by Golden West.

ASSET QUALITY

(See Table on Page 15)

Net charge-offs in the loan portfolio of $140 million increased $24 million driven by increases in the auto portfolio and were up $89 million from 4Q05 including the effect of the Westcorp merger. As a percentage of average net loans, annualized net charge-offs decreased 2 bps to 0.14% reflecting the addition of the Golden West loan portfolio. Overall, gross charge-offs of $211 million increased $35 million and represented 0.20% of average loans, and were partially offset by recoveries of $71 million which increased from $60 million in 3Q06.

Provision for credit losses of $206 million includes $28 million relating to our credit card portfolio and $22 million due to a refinement of our reserving methodology on a portion of our business banking loan portfolio. Provision also includes $7 million relating to loans sold out of the portfolio.

Allowance for Credit Losses increased $351 million to $3.5 billion, including $303 million relating to the addition of Golden West’s portfolio, $28 million associated with our credit card portfolio and $22 million due to a refinement of our reserving methodology on a portion of our business banking loan portfolio. The allowance was also reduced by $12 million due to loans that were sold in the fourth quarter. As a percentage of loans, the allowance for loan losses of 0.80% and the allowance for credit losses of 0.84% decreased 23 and 25 bps, respectively, reflecting the addition of the well-collateralized, largely consumer real estate-secured Golden West portfolio. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which includes unfunded loans and standby letters of credit, was $154 million. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans ratio was 272%, down from 520% in 3Q06 and 439% in 4Q05, also primarily a result of Golden West.

Nonperforming loans in the loan portfolio of $1.2 billion increased $656 million from 3Q06 and $614 million from 4Q05 driven by $681 million relating to Golden West. Otherwise, nonperforming loans decreased $25 million and $67 million from 4Q05.

New commercial nonaccrual inflows were $157 million, up $28 million. Commercial nonaccruals of $319 million decreased 10% and 19% from 4Q05. In 4Q06, $81 million of nonperforming commercial loans were sold directly out of the loan portfolio.

Consumer nonaccruals were $915 million, up $692 million, primarily due to Golden West.

Foreclosed properties decreased $49 million as a $71 million decline in commercial properties relating to the sale of property acquired in 3Q06 was somewhat offset by a $19 million increase relating to Golden West.

Portfolio Management Activity

In 4Q06, we sold $387 million of commercial loans out of the portfolio including $81 million of nonperforming loans. These sales increased provision expense by $7 million.

MERGER INTEGRATION UPDATE

Estimated Merger Expenses

In connection with the Golden West merger, which closed on October 1, 2006, we began recording certain merger-related and restructuring expenses in our income statement, as well as preliminary purchase accounting adjustments to record Golden West’s assets and liabilities at their respective fair values as of October 1, 2006, and certain exit costs related to Golden West’s businesses. As of December 31, 2006, net merger-related and restructuring expenses were $40 million, and exit cost purchase accounting adjustments were $41 million.

The following table indicates our progress compared with the estimated merger expenses for the transaction.

MERGER-RELATED AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

In 4Q06, we recorded $37 million in net merger-related and restructuring expenses related to Golden West.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of Golden West were recorded at fair values as of October 1, 2006, as if they had been purchased in the open market. The purchase accounting adjustments associated with Golden West’s assets and liabilities are preliminary and are subject to further refinement. The premiums and discounts that resulted from the purchase accounting adjustments to financial instruments are accreted/amortized into income/expense over the estimated term of the respective assets and liabilities, similar to the purchase of a bond at a premium or discount. This results in a market yield in the income statement for those assets and liabilities. Assuming a stable market environment from the date of purchase, we would expect that as these assets and liabilities mature, they could generally be replaced with instruments of similar yields.

In 4Q06, we recorded $34 million in net after-tax exit costs principally comprising severance and transaction-related costs. The after-tax fair value purchase accounting adjustments related to Golden West were $538 million. These adjustments are preliminary and subject to further refinement.

Wachovia 4Q06 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

E XPLANATION OF OUR USE OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this quarterly earnings report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those presented on pages 3 and 7 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 43-46. 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.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, as a result of performing our review under SAB 108, we identified certain immaterial, prior year adjustments which are unrelated to SAB 108 and which are further discussed and outlined on page 21. These adjustments are referred to as “4Q06 adjustments” and in some instances herein, our reported results are discussed excluding the effect of these 4Q06 adjustments to illustrate the effects on core operating trends without such adjustments.

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.

C AUTIONARY STATEMENT

The foregoing materials and management’s discussion of them may contain, among other things, certain forward-looking statements with respect to Wachovia, as well as the goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business of Wachovia, including, without limitation, (i) statements relating to certain of Wachovia’s goals and expectations with respect to earnings, earnings per share, revenue, expenses, and the growth rate in such items, as well as other measures of economic performance, including statements relating to estimates of credit quality trends, (ii) statements relating to the benefits of the merger between Wachovia and Golden West Financial Corporation completed October 1, 2006 (the “Golden West Merger”), (iii) statements relating to the benefits of the acquisition by Wachovia of Westcorp and WFS Financial Inc, completed on March 1, 2006 (the “Westcorp Transaction” and together with the Golden West Merger, the “Mergers”), (iv) statements with respect to Wachovia’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts, and (v) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “intends”, “plans”, “targets”, “probably”, “potentially”, “projects”, “outlook” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond Wachovia’s control). The following factors, among others, could cause Wachovia’s financial performance to differ materially from the goals, plans, objectives, intentions and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements: (1) the risk that the businesses involved in the Mergers will not be integrated successfully or such integrations may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (2) expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the Mergers may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (3) revenues following the Mergers may be lower than expected; (4) deposit attrition, customer attrition, operating costs, and business disruption following the Mergers, including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, may be greater than expected; (5) enforcement actions by governmental agencies that are not currently anticipated; (6) 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; (7) 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; (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 capital markets and capital management activities, including, without limitation, its mergers and acquisition advisory business, equity and debt underwriting activities, private equity investment activities, derivative securities activities, investment and wealth management advisory businesses, and brokerage activities; (10) adverse changes in the financial performance and/or condition of Wachovia’s borrowers which could impact the repayment of such borrowers’ outstanding loans; (11) the impact of changes in accounting principles; and (12) 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. Additional information with respect to factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements is included in the reports filed by Wachovia with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 23, 2007.

Wachovia cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Mergers or other matters and attributable to Wachovia or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Wachovia does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral.

Wachovia 4Q06 Quarterly Earnings Report

 

S UPPLEMENTAL ILLUSTRATIVE COMBINED INFORMATION

This Quarterly Earnings Report contains certain financial information labeled “Combined” results. The “Combined” information contained in this Quarterly Earnings Report shows certain historical financial data for each of Wachovia and Golden West and also shows similar combined illustrative information reflecting the merger of Golden West with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia. The historical financial data show the financial results actually achieved by Wachovia and by Golden West for the periods indicated. The “Combined” illustrative information shows the illustrative effect of the merger under the purchase method of accounting hypothetically assuming the merger was consummated as of the applicable prior period, instead of October 1, 2006, the actual merger consummation date. In the case of the “Combined” illustrative information for the full year ended December 31, 2006, the standalone Golden West information represents the period from January 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006.

The “Combined” illustrative information is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), although both the historical Wachovia and the historical Golden West financial information presented were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Wachovia believes the “Combined” illustrative information is useful to investors in understanding how the financial information of Wachovia and Golden West may have appeared on a combined basis had the two companies actually been merged as of the dates indicated and how the financial information of the General Bank segment and Retail and Small Business sub-segment of the new combined company may have appeared had the two companies actually been merged as of the dates indicated. In some instances, “Combined” information presented herein excludes the effects of Golden West’s large charitable contribution and related securities gains in the third quarter of 2006 (the “charitable contribution”). Wachovia believes such presentation assists investors in understanding the effects on core operating trends without such charitable contribution.

The “Combined” illustrative information includes estimated adjustments to record certain assets and liabilities of Golden West at their respective fair values and to record certain exit costs related to Golden West. The estimated adjustments are subject to updates as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Certain other assets and liabilities of Golden West will also be subject to adjustment to their respective fair values, including additional intangible assets which may be identified. Pending more detailed analyses, no estimated adjustments are included for these assets and liabilities. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of Golden West will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. In addition, the final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited estimated adjustments presented. The “Combined” illustrative information cannot be reconciled to GAAP because many of the purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the merger are based upon valuations of assets as of the merger date and therefore cannot be ascertained for prior periods.

We anticipate the merger will provide Wachovia with financial benefits that include increased revenue and reduced operating expenses, but these financial benefits are not reflected in the “Combined” illustrative information. Accordingly, the “Combined” illustrative information does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the period presented.

The costs associated with merger integration activities that impact certain Golden West systems, facilities and equipment, personnel and contractual arrangements will be recorded as purchase accounting adjustments when the appropriate plans are in place with potential refinements up to one year after completion of the merger as additional information becomes available. We currently estimate exit cost purchase accounting adjustments will amount to $192 million ($117 million after tax). The costs associated with integrating systems and operations will be recorded as merger-related expenses based on the nature and timing of the related expenses, but generally will be recorded as the expenses are incurred. Restructuring expenses will be recorded based on the nature and timing of the expenses and generally will include merger integration activities that impact Wachovia systems, facilities and equipment, personnel and contractual arrangements. We currently expect merger-related and restructuring expenses will amount to $288 million ($176 million after tax) and will be incurred and reported through 2008.

The information herein is based on historical financial information and related notes that Wachovia and Golden West have respectively presented in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders are encouraged to review the historical financial information and related notes in connection with the “Combined” illustrative information.
