SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS REVIEW

Below is a summary of net income by business unit for 2Q’03 and 1Q’03. This presentation of results reflects a reorganization that was announced during the second quarter. The major changes included moving Quick & Reilly retail brokerage from Investment Management into Consumer Banking and linking Regional Commercial Financial Services with Investment Management. The prior period has been restated and is presented on the same basis as the current quarter. Detailed information regarding line of business results can be found in the section beginning on page 26.

1)   Includes Argentina, Brazil and other smaller international operations. Additional information about Argentina and Brazil can be found on pages 40-41.
2)   Includes charge for the establishment of a reserve related to the estimated impact of redollarization on applicable deposits ($100 million pre-tax; $65 million after-tax). This action could also mitigate the future impact of costs currently being incurred by the ongoing court-ordered settlements with individual depositors. Also includes charges for securities writedowns ($15 million pre-tax; $10 million after-tax) and further streamlining of operations ($6 million pre-tax; $4 million after-tax).
3)   Includes Treasury (including securities gains), transactions not allocated to the principal business lines and the residual impact of methodology allocations. The decline from 1Q’03 is mainly due to higher credit-related costs, including costs related to credit default swaps, and lower net interest income.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest income declined $24 million from the first quarter as the impact of narrower spreads was partially offset by a higher volume of earning assets and one more day in the earnings period. During the quarter, interest rates continued to fall and the yield curve continued to flatten. As a result, fixed rate assets that matured and, in the case of mortgage-related assets, that prepaid were replaced at lower yields. This situation was also the main reason for the 13 basis point decline in net interest margin. Partially offsetting the impact of narrower spreads on net interest income was a $1.4 billion increase in average earning assets. Higher levels of home equity loans, residential mortgages and securities were partially offset by a decline in commercial loans and money market assets. Towards the end of the second quarter, FleetBoston restructured its swap and securities portfolios to move the overall risk position from a fairly neutral to an asset sensitive position.

The following items have been broken out and shown as separate line items for the purpose of the above presentation:

(1)   A pre-tax gain of $64 million from the sale of an investment in an Argentine pension company which was recorded to other income in 2Q’03.
(2)   Total Argentine pre-tax charges of $115 million recorded to capital markets-related revenue in 2Q’03 including a $100 million charge for the estimated impact of ongoing court-ordered deposit redollarizations in Argentina and a $15 million charge for Argentine securities writedowns.
(3)   Credit-related charges related to airlines of $30 million in 2Q’03, $30 million in 1Q’03, and $18 million in 3Q’02 were recorded to Other Income. A non-airline credit-related charge of $50 million in 4Q’02 was recorded to Capital Markets Revenue.

Excluding the items described in the footnotes above, noninterest income increased $92 million from the first quarter. This was mainly due to improvements in virtually all categories of noninterest income reflecting growth in core businesses. Further details are provided on the next page. Credit card revenue was down $1 million from the first quarter; however, excluding gains from portfolio sales, credit card revenue registered a $16 million increase.

(1)   Excludes $100 million charge in 2Q’03 for establishing a reserve related to the estimated impact of redollarization actions on applicable deposits. This action should also mitigate the future impact of costs currently being incurred by the ongoing court-ordered settlements with individual depositors.
 
(2)   Excludes a $50 million credit-related charge recorded to trading profits and commissions in 4Q’02.
 
(3)   Excludes a $15 million charge for Argentine securities writedowns in 2Q’03.

Capital markets revenue increased by $22 million from the prior quarter. This reflected a $49 million improvement in foreign exchange profits related to Argentina due to first quarter losses from judicial decrees that ordered redollarization of certain deposits. In addition, both syndication fees and securities gains increased from last quarter. These improvements were partially offset by a $29 million decline in trading account profits due to an increase in hedging costs related to a greater use of credit default swaps, cross-currency swap transactions (net income neutral with an offset recorded in foreign exchange profits), and lower trading profits in Brazil. Market-making revenue declined $12 million due to continued unfavorable market conditions for the specialist business.

The $10 million increase in investment management revenue was mainly due to improved stock market conditions during the quarter, which favorably affected asset management fees. Domestic assets under management were $148 billion at June 30, 2003, up $9 billion from March 31. Brokerage fees and commissions increased $15 million due to a higher volume of business at Quick & Reilly as stock market activity picked up during the second quarter.

Second Quarter 2003
  $ 1,594  

Noninterest expense rose modestly from the first quarter. This was mainly due to a $24 million increase in marketing expenses related to a major brand campaign that was launched during the second quarter and a $6 million charge for further streamlining of operations in Argentina. FleetBoston now has 101 branches in Argentina compared with 135 at the beginning of 2002. Excluding these items, noninterest expense declined $9 million from the first quarter as management continues to exert control over expenses. During the quarter, an additional $7 million of savings was realized from the restructuring plan announced in January. To date, on an annualized basis, FleetBoston has realized approximately 80% of the estimated $100 million in expected cost savings.

Total average loans-owned grew $0.5 billion from the first quarter. An analysis of the major changes by category follows:
  Residential mortgage loans grew $2.1 billion reflecting portfolio purchases made during the first quarter and a decision to retain a greater number of originated loans.
  Home equity loans grew $1.8 billion reflecting current market conditions (low interest rate environment) and an increased emphasis on cross-selling this product to existing customers. The home equity portfolio has an average loan-to-value ratio of 60%, customers have an average FICO score of 764, and approximately 63% of the portfolio represents first liens on the property.
  Domestic commercial and industrial loans declined $1.8 billion reflecting continued low customer demand, tightened underwriting, and the final actions of the completed corporate program to reduce targeted credit exposures.
  All other loans/leases were down $1.6 billion (net) reflecting lower levels of leases, commercial real estate, credit card and international loans.

Previously published information for March 31, 2003 has been restated to show delinquent receivables and the delinquency ratio net of uncollectable reserve for Accrued Interest Receivable (AIR). This reserve decreased period-end receivables by $81MM on a managed basis, $56MM on a securitized basis, and $25MM on an owned basis. Delinquent receivables were decreased by $78MM on a managed basis, $53MM on a securitized basis, and $25MM on an owned basis.


* Managed balances represent the aggregate of both owned and securitized credit card receivables.

      

The decline in the average balance of managed credit card receivables reflects FleetBoston’s greater emphasis on secured consumer lending (home equity loans and residential mortgages) in the current economic environment, as well as a conscious slow-down in national card solicitations. The Corporation is seeking to have a greater proportion of total credit card receivables from Fleet banking customers. Currently, approximately 20% of the credit card portfolio pertains to Fleet banking customers vs. 17% a year ago.

      

Dollar amounts of net charge-offs and delinquent receivables were basically flat (2Q’03 vs. 1Q’03); however, the charge-off and delinquency ratios increased mainly due to a decline in managed receivables for the reasons discussed above.

Note: The $112 million in the “Other” line in 1Q’03 is primarily due to the Corporation’s adoption of new FFIEC accounting standards related to credit card loans. To comply with these new rules, a portion of the Corporation’s reserve for credit losses, which related to estimates of uncollectable credit card interest, was transferred to related asset categories. There was no income statement impact from adopting these new rules.

C. Analysis of Results (2Q’03 vs. 1Q’03)

     Personal Financial Services earned $258 million for the quarter which represents an increase of $37 million or 17% over the prior quarter. Strong growth in home equity loans and low-cost core deposits (up 9% and 5%, respectively) contributed to these positive results. In addition, solid fee growth due to deposit and brokerage volume increases, improved credit card spreads due to repricings and continued expense management more than offset the impact of lower deposit spreads and lower credit card portfolio sale gains.

C. Analysis of Results (2Q’03 vs. 1Q’03)

     National Commercial Financial Services earned $199 million in the current quarter, compared to $182 million in the prior quarter. The second quarter earnings reflect the impact of higher investment banking and loan fees. In addition, a decline in loan volume resulted in lower credit-related charges; however the loan volume decline also negatively impacted net interest income.

          International Banking produced break-even results in the second quarter of 2003 compared to net income of $29 million in the prior quarter. Argentina’s results include a one-time net charge totaling $38 million after-tax for establishing a deposit redollarization reserve, securities writedowns, streamlining of operations, and a gain on the sale of Argentina’s pension unit. Argentine results excluding these charges improved $21 million versus the prior quarter mainly due to lower foreign exchange losses from the court-ordered payout of certain deposits in U.S. dollars. Brazil earned $31 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $45 million in the prior quarter as a result of lower foreign exchange and trading revenues and a Q1 reduction of incentive compensation expense.

Fleet Specialist/Execution & Clearing earned $10 million in the second quarter versus $18 million in the first quarter due to extremely difficult market conditions for this industry mainly due to a decline in market volatility, which results in lower revenue. Principal Investing incurred a loss of $53 million in the current quarter compared to a loss of $49 million in the first quarter as higher gains largely offset the increased valuation adjustments taken in the second quarter.
