     Note: In addition to results from Treasury operations, Treasury/Other includes transactions not allocated to the principal business lines and the residual impact of methodology allocations. The increase in Treasury/Other from 3Q is due, in part, to higher net interest income arising from significantly lower premium amortization related to mortgage refinancings, the absence of third quarter charges for corporate reserves, and a decline in credit costs. These improvements were partially offset by a decline in domestic securities gains, a 4Q adjustment to accrued incentive compensation reflecting a recent decision to pay 2003 awards 100% in cash, and increased litigation reserves.

1) Yields increased on mortgage-related securities and residential mortgages mainly due to a slowing of prepayments during the fourth quarter, which led to a decline in amortization of premiums.
2) The improvement from credit card was driven by both higher volumes and wider spreads. The increase in volume was primarily due to the purchase of the Circuit City portfolio, which closed in the middle of November.
3) The increase in net interest income in “other, net” is mainly due to a higher volume of home equity loans and mortgages, partially offset by declines in revenue from interest rate swaps and international operations, as well as from lower levels of securities and domestic commercial loans.

Total noninterest income increased $11 million from the third quarter.

 

An analysis of capital markets-related revenue, investment services revenue and banking fees and commissions is contained on the following pages.

 

Credit card revenue increased $16 million from the third quarter mainly reflecting a seasonal increase in volumes and lower chargeoffs on the securitized portfolio (revenue growth from the mid-November purchase of receivables from Circuit City was primarily reflected in net interest income).

 

Revenue from mortgage originations declined $10 million reflecting a lower volume of business.

 

The “all other” component of Other income increased $31 million due, in part, to higher lease residual gains from sales of assets, gains associated with securitized commercial and consumer loans, and a favorable valuation adjustment related to assets held for accelerated disposition.

 

The following items related to prior periods 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 partial reversal of these charges totaling $10 million was recorded in 4Q’03. A non-airline credit-related charge of $50 million in 4Q’02 was recorded to Capital Markets-Related Revenue.

Capital Markets revenue declined by $35 million from the third quarter:

 

Private equity revenue declined $50 million from last quarter reflecting lower gains from investment sales, partially offset by a decline in valuation writedowns. While private equity revenue declined from the prior quarter, it represented a substantial improvement from the fourth quarter of 2002 and the business unit was profitable for the second quarter in a row.

 

Securities gains declined $11 million as lower gains from sales of domestic securities were partially offset by higher gains from international, primarily related to the sale of Argentine bonds.

 

Market-making revenue declined $9 million as the Specialist business continued to be impacted by lower volumes and unfavorable market conditions.

 

Trading profits grew $24 million mainly due to valuation adjustments related to derivatives.

 

Syndication fees remained at a healthy level, up $13 million from the third quarter and more than double the level of the fourth quarter of last year.

(1) Excludes $100 million charge in 2Q’03 for establishing a reserve related to the estimated impact of redollarization actions in Argentina on applicable deposits.
(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.

The $10 million increase in investment services revenue reflected an improvement in investment management revenue mainly due to increased inflows into mutual funds and improved stock market valuations during the quarter. Domestic assets under management were $160 billion at December 31, 2003 compared with $152 billion at September 30.

Banking fees and commissions declined $9 million from the third quarter but grew $10 million from the fourth quarter of last year. Cash management fees declined $5 million due, in part, to a fewer number of business days in the fourth quarter billing period. Electronic banking fees were down $4 million from the third quarter after absorbing a full quarter’s impact of reduced interchange fees related to the Visa/Master Card merchant litigation settlement that took effect on August 1.

   $ 1,723  
    



1. The increase in Latin America was due to fourth quarter charges related to further downsizing of Argentine operations, the impact of mandatory wage increases in Brazil and the strengthening of some local currencies against the dollar. The Argentine business earned $4 million in the fourth quarter as the increase in expenses was mostly offset by gains from the sales of government bonds.
2. Reflects adjustments to accrued incentive compensation based on a recent management decision to pay 2003 awards 100% in cash rather than a combination of cash and equity as originally planned.

Total average loans-owned grew $3.8 billion from the third quarter. An analysis of the major changes by category follows:

 

q Residential mortgage loans grew $3.2 billion mainly reflecting portfolio purchases in connection with managing interest rate risk.

 

q Home equity loans grew $2.4 billion reflecting a continued emphasis on cross-selling this product to existing customers and the relatively low interest rate environment. The home equity portfolio has an average loan-to-value ratio of 59%, customers have an average FICO score of 763, and approximately two-thirds of the portfolio represents first liens on the property.

 

q Credit card receivables grew $1.0 billion mainly due to the acquisition of the Circuit City portfolio, which closed in mid-November, and a seasonal pick-up in volume.

 

q Domestic commercial and industrial loans declined $1.7 billion reflecting continued low customer demand.

 

q International loans and leases declined $0.6 billion due to further declines in Latin American loans, mainly Brazil and Argentina.

 

q All other loans/leases declined $0.5 billion (net) primarily reflecting a decline in commercial real estate loans.

International Banking earned $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to $49 million in the prior quarter. Argentina earned $4 million in the current quarter versus $2 million in the prior quarter. Although results were essentially flat, there were a number of significant changes. Government mandated indexation adjustments and the sale of a government compensation bond favorably impacted the results but were offset by charges taken in the quarter related to branch closings. Brazil earned $16 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared with $27 million in the prior quarter. The decline was mainly the result of narrower spreads from the declining interest rate environment and a lower volume of earning assets. In addition, expenses increased as a result of mandatory wage adjustments and the impact of a strengthening local currency on reported dollar amounts.

The Capital Markets businesses earned $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to $44 million in the prior quarter. Principal Investing earned $8 million in the current quarter compared to $29 million in the prior quarter due to lower portfolio gains that were partially offset by lower writedowns in the current quarter. Fleet Specialist/Execution & Clearing earned $10 million in the current quarter versus $15 million in the prior quarter as unfavorable market conditions continue to impact the Specialist business.

  Ø See graphs on pages 37 and 38 for trends in core deposits

 

Growth in Home Equity lending remains solid and continues to come predominately from customers refinancing mortgages into our first lien products. As of November ‘03:

 

  Ø 67% of Home Equity outstandings are in a first lien position; up from 58% a year ago.

 

  Ø The average/weighted Loan-to-Value of the Home Equity portfolio is 59%.

 

  Ø The average/weighted FICO score of the Home Equity portfolio is 763

 

 

Products per household have grown in every state and every market over last year and now total 3.8 per household.

 

  Ø Product Penetration (% of Fleet retail households with the following products as of November ‘03)

 

  Active Online (HomeLink) account 24% (vs. 20% last year)

 

  Credit Card 26% (vs. 22% last year)

 

  Home Equity Line/Loan 12% (vs. 9% last year)

 

  Brokerage account 11% (vs. 10% last year)

 

Mutual Fund sales through third parties totaled $4.1B in the quarter, up 14% compared to last quarter and up 55% from the same quarter of last year.

 

Excluding money market accounts, Columbia Management Group experienced positive net inflows into mutual funds during the quarter of $1.2B. Our top performing Wanger Acorn and Columbia High Yield funds continue to drive this success.

Total commercial customers using Capital Markets (FX, Derivatives & Corporate Finance) is up 13% over last year.

 

Operating Results: Comparison to Prior Year

 

The low interest rate environment continues to restrain the earnings of Personal Financial Services (PFS) as the value of deposit balances has declined. Had deposit spreads remained unchanged from last year, Q4’03 earnings would have grown by 12% over Q4’02.

 

Improving Customer Service

 

HomeLink, our award-winning online banking product, introduced two new features during the quarter, which were among the most requested features by current users. Customers now have access to daily account balance information as well as the ability to view cancelled check images (both front & back) online.

 

More than 200 Private Client and Columbia Management Group (CMG) customers and prospects participated in a Client Market Commentary conference call this quarter. Topics covered included the current market outlook, a view on the technology sector’s recovery, year-end gift-giving strategies, and client investment strategies.

 

The first class of 36 Six Sigma Black Belts graduated this quarter and continued to lead their project teams working on over 60 projects throughout the company designed to enhance customer and employee satisfaction, drive revenue, and increase operating efficiency.

To date, more than 94,000 people have visited our Smarter Decisions with Fleet website. The site provides customers with articles, tools, and resources to help them master the basics of money management and assists them in achieving their financial goals.

 

During Q3’03, employees who recognized Gold Star Service from their co-workers made approximately 18,000 Gold Star recognition nominations. From this list, 200 Shining Star awards were made last month.

 

Other Growth Initiatives

 

During the quarter, Columbia Management Group officially launched the Columbia brand to clients in the retail channel by changing all Liberty-branded funds to Columbia.

 

In November, Fleet acquired a credit card portfolio from Circuit City Stores, Inc. with receivables in excess of $1 billion. The transaction was essentially a financial transaction as the portfolio was purchased at a discount, which is expected to improve the overall returns on our national card portfolio.

 

Using Six Sigma methodology to take a comprehensive look at Fleet’s returned mail process, a cross-functional team from Consumer Account Services, Fleet Credit Card, Columbia Management Group, US Clearing, and Quick & Reilly, recently launched a project that is expected to reduce returned mail by 33% with expense savings of over one million dollars annually.

(1) Declines in assets and deposits from 4Q’01 were due mainly to pesofication, weakening of the local currency, and chargeoffs.
(2) The reserve totals shown reflect charges taken in 2Q’02 and 4Q’01 as well as the portion of the general reserve for credit losses that has been allocated to Argentina. Credit losses are charged against the reserve.

(3) Compared to 4Q’01 revenue and expense levels were affected by a weaker local currency. Revenue levels were also affected by a significant increase in nonperforming assets and new government policies. The credit loss provision has been zero since 4Q’01 as all credit losses have been charged against the reserves established in prior years. The improvement in net interest revenue between 4Q’02 and 4Q’03 reflects the impact of a government-mandated indexation adjustment on consumer loans. The improvement in noninterest income between 4Q’02 and 4Q’03 reflects a $22 million gain on sales of compensation bonds and the absence of foreign exchange losses on deposits released via judicial decree since these losses have been charged against the reserve for ongoing court–ordered deposit reimbursement established in Q2’03. Expenses in 4Q’03 include severance and other charges for streamlining operations and modifying the bank’s retail strategy. In addition, expenses increased from 4Q’02 due to the impact of local currency revaluation and higher levels of sales taxes.
(4) 4Q’01 charges include $200 million for pesofication and $125 million for securities writedowns.

NPAs

Net Chargeoffs (recoveries)

     (1 )     157      39

(5) The growth in NPAs between 4Q’01 and 4Q’02 is mainly due to a higher level of commercial loan NPAs and the placement of all sovereign loans and securities on nonaccrual; $.3 billion of the Q4’03 and $.4 billion of the Q4’02 NPAs are securities and the remainder are loans. The decline in NPAs between 4Q’02 and 4Q’03 is mainly due to chargeoffs, sales and collections. Q4’03 net recovery reflected lower gross charge-offs and recoveries from asset sales.

(3) Revenues and earnings are down since 4Q’01 due to balance sheet downsizing, a decline in local interest rates, and a reduction in currency and interest rate risk positions.
