McCoy, Jr. Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, 336-732-5926 Marsha L. Smunt Investor Relations, 336-732-5788 July 11, 2001 Wachovia Announces Second Quarter Financial Results Operating Earnings Per Share of $1.22 Wachovia Corporation (NYSE: WB) today announced second quarter operating earnings of $1.22 per diluted share compared with $.70 per diluted share a year earlier. Operating net income, which excludes nonrecurring charges, was $252.7 million compared with $143.3 million for the second quarter of 2000. Year earlier results were impacted by an after tax charge of $130 million to increase the allowance for loan losses. Operating net income from continuing operations, which excludes the results of the credit card business and nonrecurring charges, was $230.8 million for the second quarter of 2001 compared with $104.5 million a year ago. Wachovia expects to complete the sale of its consumer credit card business later this month. "We are pleased to report higher than expected revenues in a period of soft economic growth," said L.M. Baker Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "This performance clearly demonstrates the focus of Wachovia employees in serving customers and building a firm foundation for the proposed merger of equals with First Union. During the period, we also maintained diligent expense control and continued to take prudent and aggressive actions to mitigate credit risk and strengthen loan loss reserves."

-Continued- Reported net income was $245.1 million or $1.18 per diluted share for the second quarter compared with $137.6 million or $.67 per diluted share a year ago. Continuing operations, excluding the consumer credit card business, had earnings of $223.2 million or $1.08 per diluted share for the quarter compared with $98.7 million or $.48 per diluted share for the same period of 2000. Included in reported pretax earnings were merger-related charges of $11.7 million relating to Wachovia's acquisition of Republic Security Bank and the proposed merger of equals with First Union. Second quarter 2000 reported pretax earnings included $8.9 million in merger-related charges. Total revenues, excluding securities gains, rose $26.8 million from the second quarter of 2000 and were up $15.9 million from the first quarter. The net yield on interest earning assets was 3.97 percent as compared with 4.22 percent in the second quarter of 2000 and 3.93 percent in the first quarter. Average loans rose $4.5 billion or 8.7 percent from the second quarter of 2000, with strong growth in commercial and residential real estate as well as other retail loans that exceeded declines in the commercial and credit card portfolios. During the quarter, Wachovia took advantage of the lower rate environment by realizing gains on securities transactions. These gains offset the increased provision for loan losses resulting from aggressive actions to reduce credit exposures and strengthen reserves. The provision for loan losses was $215.7 million for the second quarter compared with $121.5 million in the first quarter. At June 30, 2001, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.60 percent of outstanding loans, compared with 1.50 percent at the end of the first quarter. Nonperforming loans were down $30 million from March 31, 2001, to $380 million at June 30, 2001. Net loan losses of $160.1 million for the second quarter were above the $118.7 million reported in the first quarter, in part reflecting loan sales. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, net loan losses were 1.13 percent for the second quarter 2001 compared with .85 percent in the first quarter. Operating expense, excluding nonrecurring charges, increased modestly from the second quarter of 2000 and first quarter 2001. Wachovia will hold a conference call to discuss these results on July 11, 2001, at 10 a.m. (Eastern Time). The call will be available via the Internet at www.wachovia.com/investor/earnings.asp or by calling 719-457-2637.
