CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, October 16 /PRNewswire/ --

    
    - Approximately US$2.6 Billion in Writedowns From Improvement in Company 
      Credit Spreads

    - Terminating Government Guarantee Term Sheet Costs US$402 Million

    - Merrill Lynch Platform Continues to Boost Results

    - Extends US$183.7 Billion in Credit in the Third Quarter

    - Tier 1 Capital Ratio Rises to 12.46 Percent; Tier 1 Common Ratio Rises 
      to 7.25 Percent

    - Adds US$2.1 Billion to Reserve for Credit Losses

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) today reported a third-quarter 2009 net loss of US$1.0 billion. After deducting preferred dividends of US$1.2 billion, including US$893 million related to dividends paid to the U.S. government, the diluted loss per share was US$0.26.

Those results compared with net income of US$1.2 billion, or diluted earnings per share of US$0.15, during the year-ago period.

Through the first nine months of the year, the company had net income of US$6.5 billion, or US$0.39 per share after preferred dividends, compared with US$5.8 billion, or US$1.09 per share a year earlier.

Results were negatively impacted by continued weakness in the U.S. and global economies and stress on the consumer, which continues to result in high credit costs. Earnings in the quarter were affected by US$2.6 billion in pretax mark-to-market and credit valuation adjustments on certain liabilities, including the Merrill Lynch structured notes, and a US$402 million pretax charge to pay the U.S. government to terminate its asset guarantee term sheet. Despite the loss in the period, the company strengthened its reserves, capital position and liquidity through efficient balance sheet and capital management.

"The company's core performance was impacted by a number of non-core items," said Chief Executive Officer and President Kenneth D. Lewis. "The market's improved view of Bank of America's credit cost the company due to non-cash marks on liabilities.

"Excluding those items, our revenue continued to hold up well," Lewis said. "Obviously, credit costs remain high, and that is our major financial challenge going forward. However, we are heartened by early positive signs, such as the leveling of delinquencies among our credit card customers."

    
    Third-Quarter 2009 Business Highlights

    - Average retail deposits in the quarter increased US$93.0 billion, or 16 
      percent, from a year earlier, including the net impact of US$72.1 
      billion in balances from Merrill Lynch and Countrywide. Excluding 
      Countrywide and Merrill Lynch, retail deposits grew US$20.9 billion, or 
      4 percent, from the year-ago quarter.

    - Global Wealth and Investment Management was ranked No. 1 among U.S. 
      wealth managers with more than 25 percent of the nation's top 100 
      financial advisors, according to two surveys conducted by Barron's. The 
      number of households with assets greater than US$250,000 increased 4 
      percent compared with the second quarter including the impact of the 
      market.

    - Bank of America received Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) 
      approval to exit the debt guarantee program under the FDIC's Temporary 
      Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP). Additionally, the company will opt 
      out of the six-month extension of the Transaction Account Guarantee 
      Program (TAGP) that guaranteed full insurance coverage from the FDIC 
      on non-interest-bearing transactional accounts greater than US$250,000.

    - Bank of America completed the conversion of Countrywide's deposit

      respectively, and No. 2 in global and U.S. asset-backed securities and
      syndicated loans based on volume, according to Dealogic third-quarter
      league tables.

    - During the quarter, Bank of America signed an agreement to sell the 
      long-term asset management business of Columbia Management to 
      Ameriprise Financial for approximately US$1 billion, subject to certain
      adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in spring 2010.

    - Bank of America funded US$95.7 billion in first mortgages, helping 
      nearly 450,000 people either purchase a home or refinance their 
      existing mortgage. This funding included US$23.3 billion in mortgages 
      made to 154,000 low- and moderate-income borrowers. Approximately 39 
      percent of first mortgages were for purchases.

    - To help homeowners avoid foreclosure, Bank of America has provided rate
      relief or agreed to modifications with approximately 215,000 customers 
      during the first nine months of 2009. In addition, approximately 98,000 
      Bank of America customers are already in a trial period modification

      and small business card, US$2.7 billion in home equity products and 
      nearly US$7.0 billion in other consumer credit.

    - During the third quarter, Small Business Banking extended more than
      US$471 million in new credit consisting of credit cards, loans and 
      lines of credit to more than 29,000 customers.

    - Bank of America continued to respond to consumer needs during the
      quarter. The company announced an easy-to-understand BankAmericard(R)
      Basic(TM) Visa(R) credit card that features one basic rate for all 
      types of transactions. The company also announced changes to checking 
      account options and services that will help customers limit overdraft 
      fees.

Third-Quarter 2009 Financial Summary

Revenue and Expense

Revenue net of interest expense on a fully taxable-equivalent basis rose 32 percent to US$26.4 billion from US$19.9 billion a year ago.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was US$11.8 Billion compared with US$11.9 billion in the third quarter of 2008. The decline was a result of securities sales and lower loan levels. The decrease was partially offset by a favorable rate environment, the addition of Merrill Lynch and higher deposit levels. The net interest yield narrowed 32 basis points to 2.61 percent mainly due to the previously mentioned factors and also was impacted by lower-yielding assets related to the Merrill Lynch acquisition.

Noninterest income rose to US$14.6 billion from US$8.0 billion a year earlier. Higher trading account profits, investment and brokerage services fees and investment banking income reflected the addition of Merrill Lynch. These increases, as well as gains on the sale of debt securities, were partially offset by US$1.8 billion in losses related to mark-to-market adjustments on the Merrill Lynch structured notes, as the company's credit spreads narrowed during the quarter, and US$714 million in credit valuation adjustments on derivative liabilities. Card income declined US$1.6 billion mainly from higher credit losses on securitized credit card loans and lower fee income.

Noninterest expense increased to US$16.3 billion from US$11.7 billion a year earlier. Personnel costs and other general operating expenses rose, driven in part by the Merrill Lynch acquisition. The increase was partially offset by a change in compensation that delivers a greater portion of incentive pay over time. The increase also includes the US$402 million pretax charge to pay the U.S. government to terminate its asset guarantee term sheet. Pretax merger and restructuring charges rose to US$594 million from US$247 million a year earlier.

The efficiency ratio on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was 61.84 percent compared with 58.60 percent a year earlier.

Pretax, pre-provision income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was US$10.1 billion compared with US$8.2 billion a year earlier.

Credit Quality

Deterioration in credit quality slowed compared with the prior quarter, however, credit costs remained high as most economies around the world remained weak. Consumers continued to be under stress as unemployment and underemployment rose and individuals spent longer periods without work. However, the increases in losses slowed in almost all consumer portfolios from the prior quarter.

Declining home and commercial property values and reduced spending by consumers and businesses negatively impacted the commercial portfolios resulting in broad-based increases in criticized and nonperforming loans. The rate of the increases, however, was below the levels experienced in recent quarters. Commercial losses rose from the prior quarter driven primarily by higher charge-offs in the non-homebuilder portion of the commercial real estate portfolio. Higher losses in the commercial domestic portfolio occurred across a broad range of borrowers and industries.

The provision for credit losses was US$11.7 billion, US$1.7 billion lower than the second quarter and US$5.3 billion higher than the same period last year. The addition of US$2.1 billion to the reserve for credit losses was lower than the second quarter as delinquencies improved in the unsecured consumer portfolios. This was partially offset by higher reserve additions on the impaired consumer portfolios obtained through acquisitions. Net charge- offs were US$923 million higher than the prior quarter, though the pace of the increase slowed. Nonperforming assets were US$33.8 billion compared with US$31.0 billion at June 30, 2009, reflecting a slower rate of increase than in recent quarters. The 2008 coverage ratios and amounts shown in the following table do not include Merrill Lynch.

Capital ratios increased from the prior quarter as the company reduced risk-weighted assets through balance sheet management. Tangible common equity benefited from the positive impact of market movement on available-for-sale securities.

During the quarter, a cash dividend of US$0.01 per common share was paid, and the company recorded US$1.2 billion in preferred dividends. Period-end common shares issued and outstanding were 8.65 billion for the third and second quarters of 2009 and 4.56 billion for the third quarter of 2008.

Deposits net income fell 49 percent from a year ago as revenue declined and noninterest expense rose. Revenue declined as a result of lower residual net interest income allocation related to asset and liability management activities and spread compression due to declining interest rates. Noninterest expense increased as a result of higher FDIC insurance costs.

Average customer deposits rose 11 percent, or US$40.7 billion, from a year ago due to the transfer of certain client deposits from Global Wealth and Investment Management and strong organic growth. The increase was partially offset by the expected decline in higher-yielding Countrywide deposits.

The net loss in Global Card Services widened to US$1.0 billion as credit costs continued to rise amid weak economies in the U.S., Europe and Canada. Managed net revenue declined 5 percent to US$7.3 billion mainly due to lower fee income. The decline was partially offset by higher net interest income, as lower funding costs outpaced the decline in average managed loans.

The provision for credit losses increased to US$7.0 billion from a year earlier due to higher net losses driven by economic conditions and higher bankruptcies. The increase in losses was partially offset by reductions in the reserves as a result of improving delinquencies. This compares with reserve additions in the year-ago quarter.

Noninterest expense fell 18 percent on lower operating and marketing costs.

The net loss in Home Loans and Insurance widened to US$1.6 billion as credit costs continued to increase. Net revenue decreased 2 percent as higher income from loan production was more than offset by lower servicing revenue driven by unfavorable mortgage servicing rights hedge performance.

The provision for credit losses increased to US$2.9 billion driven by continued economic weakness and lower home prices. Reserves were increased due to further deterioration in the Countrywide purchased impaired portfolio.

Noninterest expense rose to US$3.0 billion mostly due to increased compensation costs and other expenses related to higher production volume and higher delinquencies.

Global Banking net income fell to US$40 million. Strong deposit growth and the impact of the Merrill Lynch acquisition were more than offset by higher credit and FDIC insurance costs.

The provision for credit losses increased to US$2.3 billion as net charge-offs continued to rise within the commercial real estate and domestic portfolios. Also contributing were reserve additions in the commercial real estate portfolio. These increases reflect deterioration across a broad range of industries and property types.

    
    - Commercial Banking revenue was flat at US$2.9 billion
      reflecting strong deposit growth and credit spread improvement on loan
      yields offset by lower residual net interest income, narrower spreads 
      on deposits and reduced loan balances. Net income was negatively 
      impacted by a significant increase in credit costs and FDIC insurance 
      costs.

    - Corporate Banking and Investment Banking revenue rose 24 percent or 
      US$345 million driven by the acquisition of Merrill Lynch and strong 
      deposit growth. The increase was partially offset by the costs of
      credit hedging and lower residual net interest income. Net income was
      negatively impacted by higher credit costs, operating expenses 
      associated with the Merrill Lynch acquisition and FDIC insurance costs.

Note: Total investment banking income in the quarter of US$1.3 billion was shared primarily between Global Banking and Global Markets based on an internal fee-sharing arrangement among the two segments. Debt and equity issuance fees primarily led to an increase from the year-ago quarter while advisory fees increased 71 percent, reflecting the larger investment banking platform from the Merrill Lynch acquisition.

Global Markets net income increased US$2.8 billion driven by the addition of Merrill Lynch and a more favorable trading environment. Revenue was strong in the period, partially offset by US$714 million in credit valuation adjustments on derivative liabilities. Market disruption charges had a reduced impact compared with the prior year. Noninterest expense increased due to the Merrill Lynch acquisition. The increase was partially offset by a change in compensation that delivers a greater portion of incentive pay over time.

    
    - Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities revenue of US$4.4 billion was
      primarily driven by sales and trading results. Credit products 
      continued to benefit from improved market liquidity and tighter credit 
      spreads. Investment banking fees were positively impacted by new 
      issuance capabilities from the combined Merrill Lynch and Bank of 
      America platform.

    - Equities revenue of US$1.4 billion was driven by the addition of 
      Merrill Lynch.

Global Wealth and Investment Management net income rose to US$271 million driven by the addition of Merrill Lynch and a decline in support for certain cash funds. This was partially offset by higher credit costs, lower net interest income partly due to the transfer of certain client balances to the Deposits and the Home Loans and Insurance segments.

Net revenue increased to US$4.1 billion as investment and brokerage service income rose due to the addition of Merrill Lynch and the level of support for certain cash funds declined.

The provision for credit losses increased to US$515 million primarily driven by a single large commercial charge-off and reserve increases in the consumer real estate and commercial portfolios reflecting the weak economy.

    
    - Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management net income increased 9
      percent to US$310 million from a year earlier as the addition of 
      Merrill Lynch was partially offset by higher credit costs. Net revenue 
      rose to US$3.0 billion from US$1.0 billion a year ago as investment and 
      brokerage income increased mainly from the addition of Merrill Lynch.

    - U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management swung to a net 
      loss of US$52 million as net revenue declined and credit costs
      rose mainly due to a single large commercial charge-off. Net revenue 
      fell 11 percent driven by lower equity market levels and reduced net 
      interest income.

    - Columbia Management's net loss narrowed to US$48 million compared with 
      a net loss of US$356 million a year earlier driven by lower support for
      certain cash funds. As a result of actions taken during the quarter, 
      Columbia's Prime Funds no longer have exposure to structured investment 
      vehicles or other troubled assets and all capital support agreements 
      have been terminated.

The net loss in All Other widened to US$1.6 billion. Increased gains on the sale of debt securities and higher equity investment income were offset by mark-to-market adjustments related to certain Merrill Lynch structured notes and other-than-temporary impairment charges related to non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations. Excluding the securitization impact to show Global Card Services on a managed basis, the provision for credit losses increased compared with the same period last year due to higher losses in the residential mortgage portfolio and reserve additions on the Countrywide purchased impaired portfolio. Noninterest expense increased due to merger and restructuring charges related to the Merrill Lynch acquisition and a pretax charge to pay the U.S. government to terminate its asset guarantee term sheet.

All Other consists primarily of equity investments, the residential mortgage portfolio associated with asset and liability management (ALM) activities, the residual impact of the cost allocation process, merger and restructuring charges, intersegment eliminations, fair-value adjustments related to certain Merrill Lynch structured notes and the results of certain consumer finance, investment management and commercial lending businesses that are being liquidated. All Other also includes the offsetting securitization impact to present Global Card Services on a managed basis. For more information and detailed reconciliation, please refer to the data pages supplied with this press release. Effective January 1, 2009, All Other includes the results of First Republic Bank, which was acquired as part of the Merrill Lynch acquisition.

Reconciliation to GAAP financial measures

The Corporation evaluates its business utilizing non-GAAP ratios including the tangible common equity ratio. The tangible common equity ratio represents common shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. This measure is used to evaluate the Corporation's use of equity (i.e., capital). We believe the use of this non-GAAP measure provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation.

Other companies may define or calculate the tangible common equity ratio and the tangible book value per share of common stock differently. See the tables below for corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures at September 30, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008.

    Reconciliation - Managed to GAAP
     (Dollars in millions)

The Corporation reports Global Card Services on a managed basis. Reporting on a managed basis is consistent with the way that management evaluates the results of Global Card Services. Managed basis assumes that securitized loans were not sold and presents earnings on these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold (i.e., held loans) are presented. Loan securitization is an alternative funding process that is used by the Corporation to diversify funding sources. Loan securitization removes loans from the Consolidated Balance Sheet through the sale of loans to an off-balance sheet qualified special purpose entity which is excluded from the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).

The performance of the managed portfolio is important in understanding Global Card Services' results as it demonstrates the results of the entire portfolio serviced by the business. Securitized loans continue to be serviced by the business and are subject to the same underwriting standards and ongoing monitoring as held loans. In addition, retained excess servicing income is exposed to similar credit risk and repricing of interest rates as held loans. Global Card Services' managed income statement line items differ from a held basis reported as follows:

    
    -- Managed net interest income includes Global Card Services' net 
       interest income on held loans and interest income on the securitized 
       loans less the internal funds transfer pricing allocation related to
       securitized loans. 
    -- Managed noninterest income includes Global Card Services' 
       noninterest income on a held basis less the reclassification of 
       certain components of card income (e.g., excess servicing income) to 
       record managed net interest income and provision for credit losses. 
       Noninterest income, both on a held and managed basis, also includes 
       the impact of adjustments to the interest-only strip that are recorded 
       in card income as management continues to manage this impact within 
       Global Card Services.
