E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:ETFC) today announced results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, reporting net income of $58 million, or $0.20 per share. This compares with net income of $47 million, or $0.16 per share in the prior quarter, and a net loss of $186 million, or $0.65 loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2012. Total net revenue of $447 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 improved from $417 million in the prior quarter, and was down from $468 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

"We had a positive 2013," said Paul Idzik, Chief Executive Officer. "Our core business posted solid results, as the improving operating environment fueled encouraging trends in credit and retail engagement. Internally, we made significant changes to position the Company for growth and to capitalize on our positive momentum. We installed a highly-experienced new management team; we completed a rigorous review of our expense base; and we executed well on our Capital Plan, culminating in two quarters of dividends from our bank to our parent. With these many foundational elements in a solid place, and our legacy risks continuing to diminish, we are focused even more acutely on our core business and on putting our customers at the forefront of everything we do. As we build on the solid progress made in 2013, I am excited about what's in store for the coming year and beyond - entering our next phase of growth in a very deliberate way."

E*TRADE reported DARTs of 160,000 during the quarter, an increase of 10 percent from the prior quarter and an increase of 25 percent versus the same quarter a year ago. DARTs for the full year were 151,000, up from 138,000 in 2012.

The Company ended the quarter with 3.0 million brokerage accounts, an increase of 22,000 from the prior quarter. This compared with 13,000 net new brokerage accounts in the prior quarter and 10,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year, the Company added 95,000 net new brokerage accounts. Brokerage account attrition for the fourth quarter was 8.9 percent annualized. For the full year, attrition was 8.8 percent, representing an improvement from 9.0 percent in 2012.

The Company ended the quarter with $261 billion in total customer assets, compared with $241 billion at the end of the third quarter and $201 billion from the fourth quarter of 2012.

During the quarter, customers added $3.2 billion in net new brokerage assets, totaling $10.4 billion for the full year. Brokerage related cash increased by $1.5 billion to $39.7 billion during the period. Customers were net buyers of approximately $0.8 billion of securities. Margin receivables averaged $6.4 billion in the quarter, up eight percent over last quarter and up 10 percent year over year, ending the quarter at $6.4 billion.

Corporate cash ended the quarter at $415 million, an increase of $42 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by a $75 million dividend distributed from the Company's bank subsidiary to its parent during the quarter.

Net operating interest income for the fourth quarter was $257 million, up from $241 million in the prior quarter and down from $260 million a year ago. Fourth quarter results reflected a net interest spread of 2.40 percent on average interest-earning assets of $41.7 billion, compared with 2.30 percent on $40.8 billion in the prior quarter.

Commissions, fees and service charges, principal transactions, and other revenue in the fourth quarter were $178 million, compared with $164 million in the prior quarter and $151 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Average commission per trade for the quarter was $10.97, compared with $11.15 in the prior quarter, and $11.10 in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Total net revenue in the quarter also included $12 million of net gains on loans and securities, net of impairment, compared with $12 million in the prior quarter, and $56 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 which was elevated due to the Company's deleveraging efforts.

Total operating expenses for the quarter were $295 million, including $5 million of restructuring charges. Excluding the restructuring charges, operating expenses increased $25 million sequentially, to $290 million(2). For the full year, operating expenses were $1.3 billion, including $142 million of goodwill impairment and $28 million of restructuring charges.

"The improving operating environment and our diminishing legacy issues have given us more flexibility to start increasing spend to fuel our growth," said Matthew Audette, Chief Financial Officer. "This increased focus on prudently investing in our core business is reflected in our fourth quarter results, which included some additional expenses in compensation, professional services and restructuring."

The Company's loan portfolio ended the quarter at $8.6 billion, contracting approximately $0.4 billion from the prior quarter and $2.0 billion from the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter provision for loan losses of $17 million was down from $37 million in the prior quarter.

Net charge-offs in the quarter were $23 million, a decrease of $6 million from the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses ended the quarter at $453 million, down $6 million from the previous quarter.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company reported Bank and consolidated Tier 1 leverage ratios of 9.5 percent(3) and 6.7 percent(4), respectively, compared with 9.5 percent(3) and 6.6 percent(4) at the end of the prior period.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Metrics

Management believes that net income and EPS excluding the impact of the decision to sell the market making business, operating expense excluding restructuring and severance costs, tangible book value per share, corporate cash, EBITDA, interest coverage, E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 common ratio and E*TRADE Financial ratios are appropriate measures for evaluating the operating and liquidity performance of the Company. Management believes that adjusting GAAP measures by excluding or including certain items is helpful to investors and analysts who may wish to use some or all of this information to analyze the Company's current performance, prospects and valuation. Management uses non-GAAP information internally to evaluate operating performance and in formulating the budget for future periods.

Net Income and EPS Excluding the Impact of the Decision to Sell the Market Making Business

Net income excluding the impact of the decision to sell the market making business represents the Company's net income before the impairment of goodwill, net of tax. EPS excluding the impact of the decision to sell the market making business represents the Company's net income before the impairment of goodwill, net of tax, divided by diluted shares. Management believes that excluding the impact of the decision to sell the market making business from net income and EPS provides useful additional measures of the Company's ongoing operating performance because the charge is not directly related to our performance See endnote (1) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Operating Expense Excluding Restructuring and Severance Costs

Management believes that excluding the impact of restructuring and severance from its total operating expense provides a useful additional measure of the Company's ongoing operating performance because the restructuring and severance charges are not directly related to our performance See endnote (2) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Tangible Book Value per Share

Tangible book value per share represents shareholders' equity less goodwill (net of related deferred tax liability) and other intangible assets divided by common stock outstanding. The Company believes that tangible book value per share is a measure of the Company's capital strength. See endnote (8) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Corporate Cash

Corporate cash represents cash held at the parent company as well as cash held in certain subsidiaries that can distribute cash to the parent company without any regulatory approval. The Company believes that corporate cash is a useful measure of the parent company's liquidity as it is the primary source of capital above and beyond the capital deployed in regulated subsidiaries. See the Company's financial statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" that will be included in the periodic report the Company expects to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods discussed herein for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before taxes, depreciation and amortization and corporate interest expense. Management believes that EBITDA provides a useful additional measure of the Company's performance by excluding certain non-cash charges and expenses that are not directly related to the performance of the business. See the table entitled "Key Performance Metrics" for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage represents EBITDA divided by corporate interest expense. Management believes that by excluding the charges and expenses that are excluded from EBITDA, interest coverage provides a useful additional measure of the Company's ability to continue to meet interest obligations and liquidity needs. See endnote (10) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 Common Ratio and E*TRADE Financial Ratios

E*TRADE Financial ratios, including Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios, are based on the Federal Reserve regulatory minimum well-capitalized threshold. E*TRADE Bank's and E*TRADE Financial's Tier 1 common ratios are defined as the Tier 1 capital less elements of Tier 1 capital that are not in the form of common equity, such as trust preferred securities, divided by total risk-weighted assets. Management believes these ratios are an important measure of E*TRADE Bank's and the Company's capital strength. See endnotes (4), (18) and (19) for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures.

It is important to note these metrics and other non-GAAP measures may involve judgment by management and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss), consolidated statements of cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information on the adjustments to these non-GAAP measures, please see the Company's financial statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" that will be included in the periodic report the Company expects to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods discussed herein.

E*TRADE Bank total capital / Total risk-weighted assets 24.3 % 23.5 % 20.6 %

(a) Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total risk-weighted assets.

(4) The Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios at E*TRADE Financial are Q413 estimates based on the Federal Reserve regulatory minimum well-capitalized requirements. E*TRADE Financial is not currently subject to capital requirements; however, the implementation of holding company capital requirements are expected to become effective in 2015 as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act. Management believes these ratios are an important measure of the Company's capital strength and accordingly manages capital against the current capital ratios that apply to bank holding companies in preparation for the application of these requirements. The Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios are calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

(a) The Company is continuing to include TRUPs in E*TRADE Financial's Tier 1 capital due to the regulatory agencies announcement of a delay in the implementation of the TRUPs phase-out.

(b) Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total risk-weighted assets.

(5) Reflects elimination of transactions between Trading and Investing and Balance Sheet Management segments, which includes deposit and intercompany transfer pricing arrangements.

(6) Amounts and percentages may not calculate due to rounding.

(7) Operating margin is the percentage of net revenue that results in income (loss) before other income (expense) and income taxes. The percentage is calculated by dividing income (loss) before other income (expense) and income taxes by total net revenue.

(8) The following tables provide a reconciliation of GAAP book value and book value per share to non-GAAP tangible book value and tangible book value per share (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

(9) Enterprise net interest spread is the taxable equivalent rate earned on average enterprise interest-earning assets less the rate paid on average enterprise interest-bearing liabilities, excluding corporate interest-earning assets and liabilities and customer cash held by third parties.

(10) Interest coverage represents the ratio of the Company's EBITDA to its corporate interest expense. The interest coverage ratio calculated based on the Company's net income (loss) to its corporate interest expense was 2.0, 1.7, and (4.2) for the three months ended December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(11) E*TRADE Bank net income is calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

Net income $ 95.8 $ 84.8 $ 32.6

(12) The brokerage account attrition rate is calculated by dividing attriting brokerage accounts, which are gross new brokerage accounts less net new brokerage accounts, by total brokerage accounts at the previous period end. This rate is presented on an annualized basis.

(13) Customer assets held by third parties are held outside E*TRADE Financial and include money market funds and sweep deposit accounts at unaffiliated financial institutions. Customer assets held by third parties are not reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and are not immediately available for liquidity purposes. However, we maintain the ability to bring these customer assets back on-balance sheet with appropriate notification to the third parties.

(14) Net new customer assets are total inflows to all new and existing customer accounts less total outflows from all closed and existing customer accounts. The net new banking assets and net new brokerage assets metrics treat asset flows between E*TRADE entities in the same manner as unrelated third party accounts.

(15) Delinquent loans include charge-offs for loans that are in bankruptcy or are 180 days past due which have been written down to their expected recovery value. The following table shows the total amount of charge-offs on loans that are still held by the Company as of the periods presented (dollars in millions):

Q4 2013 Q3 2013 Q4 2012
One- to four-family $ 416 $ 424 $ 457
