National City to Strengthen Capital Base by Raising $7 Billion of Equity, Solidifying Its Financial Foundation

Company Also Reduces Common Dividend; Reports First Quarter Results

CLEVELAND, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National City Corporation (NYSE: NCC) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved the raising of $7 billion of additional equity capital that solidifies the company's financial foundation as it continues to focus on maximizing its core banking strengths for stockholders, customers and the communities it serves. Separately, National City also released its first quarter 2008 results, reporting a net loss of $171 million, or $.27 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $333 million, or $.53 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2007.

The capital raise includes $985 million of private equity capital from Corsair Capital, a highly regarded private equity firm with a successful track record of global long-term investing in the financial services industry, particularly the banking sector, and one other private equity investor. The balance, or $6.015 billion, of equity capital is being purchased by other investors, including several of National City's largest current institutional stockholders.

The capital infusion is expected to increase National City's capital ratios well above the high end of the company's targeted ranges. That includes its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, which will increase to 11.40 percent pro forma for this transaction from 6.65 percent at March 31, 2008. The 11.40 percent pro forma ratio places National City well above its peer group with respect to this important measure. To further strengthen its capital position, National City's Board also approved a reduction in its common dividend to $0.01 per share from $0.21 per share, payable May 16, 2008, to holders of record May 1, 2008.

"This strategic raising of equity capital provides National City with the financial flexibility to continue investing in and growing our core businesses, which are delivering solid results, while addressing the asset quality challenges posed by the disruptions in the credit and housing markets," said National City Chairman, President and CEO Peter E. Raskind. "In addition, while we fully recognize that the dividend is an important element of return for our stockholders, the dividend reduction is consistent with our efforts to strengthen our capital position and is prudent given this environment."

"We are pleased with the confidence that our investors have expressed in the value underlying National City's franchise and the fundamental strengths of our business model that will help drive a return to profitability. Corsair Capital's participation is particularly gratifying," Raskind said. "It is a seasoned investor with a record of working productively with the boards and management teams of the companies in which it invests. National City has a long and rich history, and we look forward to carrying on that great tradition with our team of 32,000 employees, whose passion and dedication for serving our customers is unmatched in our industry."

Corsair Capital will be represented on the Board of Directors of National City, which intends to appoint Corsair Capital Vice Chairman Richard E. Thornburgh as a director. Thornburgh said, "In Corsair's view, National City is an integral contributor to the economic fabric of the markets it serves. Our decision to make a long-term investment in National City reflects our recognition of the company's important role as a leading provider of core banking services to its many customers, and our confidence in the potential of National City to achieve enhanced value for its customers, stockholders and employees in the future."

Terms of the Capital Raise

In the financing, National City will issue 126.2 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $5 per share and an aggregate of 63,690 shares of Contingent Convertible Perpetual Non-cumulative Preferred Stock, Series G, at a purchase price and liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. After receipt of certain approvals, including approval of the company's stockholders, each share of convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into 20,000 shares of the company's common stock, subject to adjustment.

In addition, Corsair Capital and certain other participating investors will receive warrants with an exercise price of 115 percent of the company's average closing price for the five-trading-day period beginning Monday, April 21, 2008, with a cap of $8.50 per share. These warrants have a term of five years. The warrants will be exercisable after certain stockholder and regulatory approvals are received.

The company intends to call a special stockholders' meeting to:

  • Increase the number of shares of authorized common stock and
  • Approve conversion of the preferred Series G stock into common stock and the exercisability of the warrants.

Further details about the private offering and the terms of the securities will be available in the company's Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. served as financial advisor and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Jones Day served as legal advisors to National City. RBS Greenwich Capital served as financial advisor and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP served as legal advisor to Corsair Capital.

First Quarter Results

Separately, National City released its first quarter results, reporting a net loss for the first quarter of 2008 of $171 million, or $.27 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $333 million, or $.53 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2007, and net income of $319 million, or $.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2007. The first quarter 2008 loss principally reflects a provision for loan losses of approximately $1.4 billion, partially offset by a gain on the redemption of Visa shares of $532 million and a release of Visa indemnification liabilities of $240 million.

Chairman's Comments

"Clearly, the U.S. housing and mortgage environment deteriorated significantly over the course of the first quarter. As a consequence, we have revised future loss expectations and significantly increased reserves across several portfolios, in particular the liquidating portfolios of nonprime mortgage and broker-sourced home equity loans," Raskind said. "The resulting loan loss provision drove the overall results of the company to a net loss position for the first quarter, despite the benefits of a large gain from the Visa IPO and solid financial performance in our retail banking, commercial banking and wealth management businesses. While we are clearly disappointed by the quarter's weak profitability, we feel that it is both necessary and prudent to build reserves in anticipation of a continued difficult environment for housing-related loans."

Net Interest Income and Margin

Tax-equivalent net interest income was $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2008, down about 4% compared to both the immediately preceding quarter and the first quarter a year ago. Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2008 were $134.6 billion, about equal to the preceding quarter, and an increase of 11% compared to the first quarter a year ago, largely due to a September 2007 acquisition. Net interest margin was 3.18% in the first quarter of 2008, 3.30% in the fourth quarter of 2007, and 3.69% in the first quarter a year ago. The lower margin in 2008 reflects lower loan yields driven by decreases in the Federal Funds rate, while funding costs have declined less.

Loans and Deposits

Average portfolio loans were $115.4 billion for the first quarter of 2008, $113.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007, and $98.2 billion for the first quarter a year ago. The year-over-year increase reflects growth in commercial loans, transfers of formerly held for sale mortgage and home equity loans, and the aforementioned acquisition. Average loans held for sale were $4.5 billion in the first quarter of 2008, down $3.8 billion compared with the fourth quarter of 2007, and down $7.3 billion compared to the first quarter a year ago. This decrease reflects curtailment of origination of non agency-eligible mortgage loans and broker-originated mortgage and home equity loans, as well as transfers of previously held for sale loans to portfolio in late 2007.

Average total deposits were $97.6 billion in the first quarter of 2008, about equal to the preceding quarter, and up 11% compared to the first quarter a year ago. Average core deposits, excluding mortgage escrow and custodial balances, were $83.2 billion in the first quarter of 2008, about equal to the fourth quarter of 2007, and up from $72.8 billion in the first quarter a year ago. Deposits have increased with the aforementioned acquisition as well as continued household growth and expansion.

Credit Quality

The provision for loan losses was $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2008, $691 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $122 million in the first quarter of 2007. The higher provision in 2008 principally reflects further deterioration in the credit quality of residential real estate loans, specifically within the liquidating nonprime and broker-sourced mortgage and home equity portfolios, as well as the residential construction portfolio.

Net charge-offs were $538 million in the first quarter of 2008, $275 million in the preceding quarter, and $147 million in the first quarter of last year. The higher charge-offs are concentrated in the previously identified residential real estate portfolios. Nonperforming assets were approximately $2.3 billion, up from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2007, with the increase primarily driven by higher levels of nonprime mortgage, residential construction and formerly held-for-sale mortgage loans. Loans 90 days past due were $1.8 billion at March 31, 2008, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2007.

As of March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $2.6 billion, or 2.23% of portfolio loans, compared to $1.8 billion, or 1.52% of portfolio loans, at year end, and $1.1 billion, or 1.11% of portfolio loans, a year earlier. The higher allowance for loan losses reflects expected probable losses on residential real estate loans.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2008, $597 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, and $621 million in the first quarter a year ago. Net securities gains were $515 million in the first quarter of 2008, which included a $532 million gain on the partial redemption of Visa Class B shares following Visa's initial public offering, as well as an other- than-temporary impairment loss of approximately $16 million on certain asset- backed securities.

Net loan sale revenue/(loss) was $89 million in the first quarter of 2008, $(149) million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $75 million in the first quarter a year ago. The improvement in net loan sale revenue resulted from limiting mortgage loan originations to agency-eligible loans. Loan servicing revenue was $16 million in the first quarter of 2008, $115 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $32 million in the first quarter a year ago. This decrease primarily reflects net mortgage servicing right hedging (losses)/gains of $(59) million in the first quarter of 2008, $11 million in the fourth quarter, and $(49) million a year ago.

Deposit service fees were $230 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $249 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $204 million in the first quarter a year ago. The decrease compared to the fourth quarter reflects seasonally lower volume of overdraft and nonsufficient funds transactions. The increase compared to the first quarter a year ago reflects the recent acquisition, continued growth in the number of deposit accounts, and higher volumes of fee-generating transactions. Derivative (losses)/gains were $(49) million in the first quarter of 2008, versus $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $(23) million in the first quarter a year ago.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2008, $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $1.2 billion in the first quarter a year ago. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2008 benefited from the release of $240 million of previously established indemnification liabilities resulting from the funding of Visa's litigation escrow account. Noninterest expense for the preceding quarter included a goodwill impairment charge of $181 million related to restructuring the mortgage business and an indemnification provision of $132 million for the company's proportionate share of certain Visa-related litigation. Foreclosure costs increased to $49 million in the first quarter of 2008, up from $25 million in the immediately preceding quarter, and $10 million in the first quarter a year ago, due to continued deterioration in the housing markets.

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2008, total assets were $155.0 billion and stockholders' equity was $13.2 billion or 8.5% of total assets. At March 31, 2008, total deposits were $98.5 billion, including core deposits of $89.1 billion. Tangible equity to assets was 5.00% at March 31, 2008, compared to 5.29% at December 31, 2007. The company's Tier 1 capital was 6.65% at March 31, 2008, which is above the "well-capitalized" threshold of 6.00%. The Corporation had no share repurchases in the first quarter of 2008 and none are planned.
