Company Reaffirms EPS Guidance for 2005 of $6.60 to $7.00

MCLEAN, Va., April 20, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) today announced that its earnings for the first quarter of 2005 were $506.6 million, or $1.99 per share (diluted), compared with $450.8 million, or $1.84 per share, for the first quarter of 2004, and $195.1 million, or $.77 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2004.

"The company's first quarter results reflect strong performance in our US Card business as well as continued success in our Auto Finance and Global Financial Services businesses," said Richard D. Fairbank, Capital One's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, the acquisition of Hibernia Corporation, which we announced in March, will enhance our diversification efforts and growth prospects, while lowering our funding costs and overall risk profile."

Managed loans grew to $81.6 billion as of March 31, 2005, up $1.7 billion, or 9 percent annualized, from the previous quarter, and up $9.8 billion, or 14 percent, from the first quarter of 2004. The company continues to expect that managed loans will grow at a rate of between 12 and 15 percent during 2005, excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction.

The managed charge-off rate decreased to 4.13 percent in the first quarter of 2005 from 4.37 percent in the previous quarter, and from 4.83 percent in the first quarter of 2004. The company now expects its quarterly managed charge-off rate to stay below 4.25 percent in 2005, with seasonal variations and excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction. The company decreased its allowance for loan losses in the first quarter of 2005 by $65.0 million. The reduction was driven largely by seasonality of loan growth and credit metrics. The company continues to expect a net increase in its allowance for loan losses in the full year 2005, inclusive of the first quarter reduction and excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction. The managed delinquency rate (30+ days) decreased to 3.45 percent as of March 31, 2005 from 3.82 percent as of the end of the previous quarter. The managed delinquency rate as of March 31, 2004 was 3.80 percent.

"Solid revenue growth, improvements in operating efficiency, and strong credit performance across our business keeps us on track to deliver diluted earnings of between $6.60 and $7.00 per share in 2005," said Gary L. Perlin, Capital One's Chief Financial Officer. This earnings guidance incorporates the expected impact of completing the acquisition of Hibernia Corporation in the third quarter of 2005, and includes pro rata 2005 earnings for Hibernia Corporation as estimated by I/B/E/S as of March 4, 2005.

Capital One's managed revenue margin decreased to 12.50 percent in the first quarter of 2005 from 12.66 percent in the previous quarter, in line with our bias towards lower loss assets. The company's managed revenue margin was 13.38 percent in the first quarter of 2004.

Marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2005 were $311.8 million, down $199.3 million from the $511.1 million spent in the fourth quarter of 2004. Marketing expenses were $255.1 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The company continues to expect annual marketing spend for 2005 to be similar to 2004, excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction.

Annualized operating expenses as a percentage of average managed loans decreased to 4.98 percent in the first quarter of 2005, down from 5.44 percent in the previous quarter and 5.45 percent in the first quarter of 2004. Included in first quarter 2005 operating expenses were charges totaling $23.7 million for a combination of employee termination benefits and continued facility consolidations, as well as an $18.8 million reversal of a previously recognized impairment related to the sale of the Tampa, FL facility. The company expects about $40 million in additional restructuring charges in 2005 related to programs initiated in 2004.

The company continues to expect a return on managed assets of between 1.7 and 1.8 percent in 2005, with some quarterly variability, excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction. The company expects that modest declines in its managed revenue margin will be more than offset by improvements in expenses as a percentage of managed loans.

During the first quarter of 2005, Capital One completed the acquisitions of Hfs Group, Onyx, InsLogic, and eSmartloan. Capital One also announced a definitive agreement to acquire Hibernia Corporation (NYSE: HIB) in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $5.3 billion. The transaction is subject to regulatory and Hibernia shareholder approvals and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2005.

The company generates earnings from its managed loan portfolio, which includes both on-balance sheet loans and securitized (off-balance sheet) loans. For this reason, the company believes managed financial measures to be useful to stakeholders. In compliance with 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 (GAAP). Please see the schedule titled "Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures" attached to this release for more information.

The company cautions that its current expectations in this release, in the presentation slides available on the company's website and on its Form 8-K dated April 20, 2005 for 2005 earnings, charge-off rates, revenue margins, return on assets, allowance for loan losses, loan growth rates, marketing, the composition of loan growth, restructuring charges, the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Capital One and Hibernia, including future financial and operating results, and the new company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions are forward-looking statements and actual results could differ materially from current expectations due to a number of factors, including: continued intense competition from numerous providers of products and services which compete with our businesses; changes in our aggregate accounts and balances, and the growth rate and composition thereof; the company's ability to continue to diversify its assets; the company's ability to access the capital markets at attractive rates and terms to fund its operations and future growth; changes in the reputation of the credit card industry and/or the company with respect to practices or products; the success of the company's marketing efforts; the company's ability to execute effective tax planning strategies; the company's ability to execute on its strategic and operating plans; and general economic conditions affecting consumer income and spending, which may affect consumer bankruptcies, defaults, and charge-offs; the ability to obtain regulatory approvals of the proposed Capital One -- Hibernia transaction on the proposed terms and schedule; the failure of Hibernia stockholders to approve the transaction; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; and disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers.

A discussion of these and other factors can be found in Capital One's annual report 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

                  Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures
                  For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
                      (dollars in thousands)(unaudited)

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, servicing fees, finance charges, and other fees, net of charge-offs, and interest paid to investors of securitizations are recognized as servicing and securitizations income on the "reported" income statement.

The Company's "managed" consolidated financial statements reflect
adjustments made related to 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. The Company's "managed" income statement takes the components of the
servicing and securitizations income generated from the securitized portfolio
and distributes the revenue and expense 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.
