MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) today announced that its earnings for the third quarter of 2005 were $491.1 million, or $1.81 per share (diluted), compared with $490.2 million, or $1.97 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of 2004, and $531.1 million, or $2.03 per share (diluted), for the second quarter of 2005.

The results for the quarter include the impact of two one-time events: First, a $44 million impact related to the Gulf Coast hurricanes; and second, a $75 million impact from the unprecedented number of bankruptcy filings made last week immediately in advance of the new legislation, effective October 17, 2005. As a result of these two events, the company expects its 2005 earnings to be on the lower end of its range of between $6.60 and $7.00 per share (diluted), including the expected impact of completing the acquisition of Hibernia Corporation.

"Capital One had another solid quarter of revenue growth and profitability," said Richard D. Fairbank, Capital One's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The strength and resilience of our diversified businesses positions us well to weather one-time events, such as the temporary spike in bankruptcy filings, while continuing to deliver strong results and profitable growth."

Managed loans grew to $84.8 billion as of September 30, 2005, up $1.8 billion, or 9 percent annualized, from the previous quarter, and up $9.3 billion, or 12 percent, from the third quarter of 2004. The company currently expects that managed loans will grow at a rate of approximately 12 percent during 2005, excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction. The company continues to expect its US Card loan growth rate to be in the low single digits, and its Auto Finance and Global Financial Services businesses to grow at a faster rate than US Card.

The managed charge-off rate increased to 4.14 percent in the third quarter of 2005 from 4.10 percent in the previous quarter, and from 4.05 percent in the third quarter of 2004. Due to the unprecedented volume of bankruptcy filings made in October, management estimates the impact of the increased bankruptcy filings on its managed net charge-off rate in the fourth quarter of 2005 to be approximately 50 to 100 basis points. As a result, the company now expects its managed net charge-off rate for the fourth quarter of 2005 to be approximately five percent, excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction.

The company increased its allowance for loan losses in the third quarter of 2005 by $42.0 million. The increase was driven by strong growth in auto loans, the increase in bankruptcy filings, and a build in allowance for loan losses related to the impact of the Gulf Coast hurricanes. The company expects a net build in allowance for the full year of 2005, excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction.

The managed delinquency rate (30+ days) increased to 3.73 percent as of September 30, 2005 from 3.49 percent as of the end of the previous quarter. The managed delinquency rate as of September 30, 2004 was 3.90 percent.

Capital One's managed revenue margin decreased to 12.54 percent in the third quarter of 2005 from 12.65 percent in the previous quarter, and from 13.03 percent in the third quarter of 2004. The company continues to expect a modest decline in managed revenue margin over time due to its diversification and bias towards lower loss assets.

Marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2005 were $343.7 million, up $66.7 million from the $277.0 million spent in the second quarter of 2005. Marketing expenses were $317.7 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The company expects annual marketing spend for 2005 to be approximately $1.4 billion, excluding the impact of the Hibernia transaction.

Annualized operating expenses as a percentage of average managed loans decreased to 4.88 percent in the third quarter of 2005, down from 5.13 percent in the previous quarter and down from 5.35 percent in the third quarter of 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.

"These results keep us on track to deliver diluted earnings of between $6.60 and $7.00 per share in 2005, including the expected impact of completing the acquisition of Hibernia Corporation, albeit more likely at the lower end of the range," said Gary L. Perlin, Capital One's Chief Financial Officer. "While the anticipated closing of the acquisition has been delayed, it is not expected to have a material impact on the integration costs or synergies that Capital One expects to realize from the acquisition."

The acquisition of Hibernia is scheduled to close two business days following the special meeting of Hibernia shareholders, which is scheduled for November 14, 2005, subject to Hibernia shareholders' approval of the amended merger agreement.

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 October 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 on its strategic and operating plans; and general economic conditions affecting interest rates and consumer income and spending, which may affect consumer bankruptcies, defaults, and charge-offs; the failure of Hibernia stockholders to approve the Capital One -- Hibernia transaction; the risk that the Hibernia businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the Hibernia transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from the Hibernia transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; the impact of property, credit and other losses expected as the result of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita; the amount of government, private and philanthropic investment, including deposits, in the geographic regions impacted by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita; the pace and magnitude of economic recovery in the region impacted by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita; and the potential impact of damages from future hurricanes and other storms.

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.

     CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
     Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures
     For the Three Months Ended September 30, 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.
