Exhibit 99.1 02/18 David Weinstock Vice President, Investor Relations (215) 444-5335 dweinstock@advanta.com Catherine Reid Vice President, Communications (215) 444-5073 creid@advanta.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADVANTA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS Spring House, PA, October 24, 2002 - Advanta Corporation (NASDAQ: ADVNB; ADVNA) today announced operating results from continuing business segments of $0.38 per diluted share for Class A and Class B shares combined, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, unchanged from the third quarter of 2001. Advanta reported consolidated net income for the quarter of $6.3 million or $0.25 per share on a diluted basis for its Class A and Class B shares combined. This compares to a net loss of $41.7 million or $1.59 per share on a diluted basis reported for the third quarter of 2001. Business Card results for the third quarter included a favorable decline in charge-offs to 8.9% on an annualized basis as compared to 9.0% at June 30, 2002. Over 90 day delinquencies declined 37 basis points to 2.99% while over 30 day delinquencies increased 7 basis points to 6.66% at the end of the third quarter. The on-balance sheet loan loss reserve as a percent of owned receivables was 9.8% at September 30, 2002, representing approximately 14 months of estimated losses based on third quarter net charge-offs. Managed receivables grew to $2.3 billion at September 30, 2002 as compared to $2 billion at September 30, 2001. Consolidated net income for the quarter includes an asset valuation charge associated with the Company's venture capital portfolio and net interest expense not associated with continuing business segments. The Company also announced that its full-year 2002 earnings from continuing business segments are expected to be within a range of $1.42 and $1.50 per diluted share, the upper end of which is within analysts' estimates. "We continue to have declining loss rates despite a difficult economic environment," said Dennis Alter, Chairman and CEO. "While prudent growth rates and the environment are now expected to keep earnings somewhat below our goals for the year, we are pleased with the solid developments in credit quality and the quality of the customer base we are building." The Company completed the repurchase of the 1.5 million shares initially authorized under its stock repurchase plan, and in connection with a second authorization has repurchased an additional 210,000 shares, for a total repurchased through October 23, 2002 of approximately 1,710,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock. The Company intends further stock repurchases under the remaining unused authorization of approximately 1,290,000 shares.
