Capital One Reports Record First Quarter Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share Rise 63% Over Year Ago Period

MCLEAN, Va., Apr 21, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) today announced record earnings for the first quarter of 2003, driven primarily by improving credit quality in the company's managed loan portfolio.

Earnings for the first quarter of 2003 were $309.1 million, or $1.35 per share (fully diluted), compared with earnings of $188.0 million, or $0.83 per share, for the first quarter of 2002. Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2002 were $239.7 million, or $1.05 per share.

"I'm pleased that we have seen the peak in the charge-off rate and I'm confident we will achieve our earnings target of at least $4.55 for the year," said Richard D. Fairbank, Capital One's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The charge-off rate came in at the low end of our indicated range in the first quarter of 2003. We expect somewhat lower charge-offs in the second quarter and lower still in the second half of the year, ending the year in the low six percent range."

The managed charge-off rate increased to 6.47 percent in the first quarter from 6.21 percent in the previous quarter. The managed delinquency rate declined to 4.97 percent from 5.60 percent at the end of the previous quarter. The improving outlook for charge-offs led the company to lower its Allowance for Loan Losses by $85 million to $1.635 billion, in the first quarter.

Capital One's managed revenue margin declined to 15.70 percent in the first quarter of 2003 from 16.11 percent in the previous quarter. The managed risk-adjusted margin declined to 9.77 percent from 10.41 percent in the previous quarter. The risk-adjusted margin is expected to remain around ten percent over the next few quarters, as the charge-off rate declines.

The company's managed loan balances declined by $533 million to $59.2 billion at the end of the first quarter. The number of its accounts declined by 946 thousand to 46.4 million at the end of the first quarter.

"Seasonally, we would expect to experience little or no growth in loan balances in the first quarter," said Nigel W. Morris, Capital One's President and Chief Operating Officer. "For the year we're now looking for 15 to 20 percent growth in managed loans and, because of our shift up-market, we expect little to no growth in accounts."

Marketing expense for the first quarter of 2003 increased $30.9 million to $241.7 million from $210.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Marketing expenses were $353.5 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Other non-interest expenses (excluding marketing) for the first quarter of 2003 were $931.2 million versus $910.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2002 and $806.4 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Annualized operating cost per account increased to $79 for the first quarter of 2003 from $76 in the prior quarter.

The company generates earnings from its managed loan portfolio which includes both the on-balance sheet loans and off-balance sheet loans for which the company has retained significant risk and rewards. For this reason the company believes the managed financial measures to be useful to stakeholders. In compliance with newly adopted Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company is providing a numerical reconciliation of managed financial measures to comparable measures calculated on a reported basis using generally accepted accounting principles. Please see the schedule entitled "Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures" attached to this release for more information.

The company cautioned that its current expectations for 2003 earnings, risk-adjusted margin, charge-off rates, and future growth are forward looking statements and actual results could differ materially from current expectations due to a number of factors, including: competition in the credit card industry; the actual account and balance growth achieved by the company; the company's ability to access the capital markets at attractive rates and terms to fund its operations and future growth; and general economic conditions affecting consumer income and spending, which may affect consumer bankruptcies, defaults and charge-offs. A discussion of these and other factors can be found in Capital One's annual and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, Capital One's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

                  Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures
                  For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

The Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") are referred to as its "reported" financial statements. Loans included in securitization transactions which qualified as sales under GAAP have been removed from the Company's "reported" balance sheet. However, interest income, interchange, fees and recoveries generated from the securitized loan portfolio net of charge-offs in excess of the interest paid to investors of asset-backed securitizations are recognized as non-interest income on the "reported" income statement.

The Company's "managed" consolidated financial statements add back the effects of securitization transactions qualifying as sales under GAAP. The Company generates earnings from its "managed" loan portfolio which includes both the on-balance sheet loans and off-balance sheet loans for which the Company has retained significant risk and rewards. The Company's "managed" income statement takes the components of the non-interest income generated from the securitized portfolio and distributes the revenue to appropriate income statement line items from which it originated. For this reason the Company believes the "managed" consolidated financial statements and related managed metrics to be useful to stakeholders.
