New York, July 15, 2010 – JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) today reported second-quarter 2010 net income of $4.8 billion, compared with $2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2009. Earnings per share were $1.09, compared with $0.28 in the second quarter of 2009.

Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the quarter: “Our net income increased to $4.8 billion, including the benefit from a $1.5 billion reduction of loan loss reserves – which we do not believe represents normal ongoing earnings – partially offset by a charge of $550 million for the U.K. bonus tax.”

Continuing on the businesses, Dimon added: “Although we are gratified to see consumer-lending net charge-offs and delinquencies decline, they remain at extremely high levels and therefore returns in our consumer-lending businesses are still unacceptable. As a result, these businesses did not meet expectations nor generate satisfactory returns on capital for our shareholders. It is too early to say how much improvement we will see from here.

“We saw solid performance in our other businesses. In particular, our wholesale businesses experienced reduced net charge-offs that led to reductions in loan loss reserves, and are currently seeing credit costs which reflect the increasingly healthy condition of our wholesale clients.”

Commenting on the strength of the balance sheet, Dimon said: “We maintained very high liquidity, with a deposit-to-loan ratio of 127%, and generated additional capital, ending the quarter with a strong Tier 1 Common ratio of 9.6%. Total firmwide credit reserves fell to $36.7 billion, as loan balances remained flat and credit costs declined, resulting in a firmwide coverage ratio of 5.3% of total loans¹. Our strong and growing capital base has enabled us to buy back over $500 million of stock to date, and we will continue to do so opportunistically.”

Dimon further remarked: “We continue to aggressively do all that we can reasonably and responsibly to contribute to the economic recovery. During the first half of the year, we loaned or raised capital for our clients of nearly $700 billion, and our small-business originations were up 37%.

Looking ahead, Dimon concluded: “We recognize a number of positive aspects of the pending regulatory reform legislation, including systemic risk oversight and resolution authority. However, many challenges and uncertainties remain which may result in unintended consequences for our clients, the markets and our businesses. With a need for global regulatory coordination and hundreds of rules to be written, increased focus is critical in order to implement these reforms in a way that protects consumers and the competitiveness of the U.S. financial system, while ensuring the flow of safe and sound credit. As always, and regardless of uncertainties about the credit environment and pending regulation, we remain committed to the long-term growth of our franchise. We continue to invest in our infrastructure to enable us to deliver the quality products and services that our customers demand, and to provide good returns for our shareholders.”

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $1.4 billion, down 6% compared with the prior year. These results reflected lower revenue and higher noninterest expense, predominantly offset by a benefit from the provision for credit losses.

Net revenue was $6.3 billion, compared with $7.3 billion in the prior year. Investment banking fees decreased by 37% to $1.4 billion, consisting of equity underwriting fees of $354 million (down 68%), debt underwriting fees of $696 million (down 6%) and advisory fees of $355 million (down 10%). Fixed Income Markets revenue was $3.6 billion, compared with $4.9 billion in the prior year. The decrease largely reflected lower results in credit markets, rates and commodities. Equity Markets revenue was $1.0 billion, compared with $708 million in the prior year, reflecting solid client revenue. Credit Portfolio revenue was $326 million, primarily reflecting net interest income and fees on retained loans.

The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $325 million, compared with an expense of $871 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision reflected a reduction in the allowance for loan losses, largely related to net repayments and loan sales. The allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained was 3.98%, compared with 7.91% in the prior year. The decline in the allowance ratio was due largely to the consolidation of asset-backed commercial paper conduits in accordance with new accounting guidance, effective January 1, 2010. Excluding these balances, the current-quarter allowance coverage ratio was 6.49%. Net charge-offs were $28 million, compared with $433 million in the prior year. Nonperforming loans were $2.3 billion, down by $1.3 billion from the prior year and $481 million from the prior quarter.

Noninterest expense was $4.5 billion, compared with $4.1 billion in the prior year. Current-quarter results included the impact of the U.K. bonus tax.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $1.0 billion, compared with $15 million in the prior year.

Net revenue was $7.8 billion, a decrease of $161 million, or 2%, compared with the prior year. Net interest income was $4.8 billion, down by $213 million, or 4%, reflecting the impact of lower loan and deposit balances, partially offset by a shift to wider-spread deposit products. Noninterest revenue was $3.0 billion, relatively flat compared with the prior year, as increased mortgage fees and related income, debit card income and auto operating lease income were offset by declining deposit-related fees.

The provision for credit losses was $1.7 billion, a decrease of $2.1 billion from the prior year and $2.0 billion from the prior quarter. Although losses for the mortgage and home equity portfolios continued to be extremely high, the current-quarter provision reflected improved delinquency trends and reduced net charge-offs as compared to prior periods. Additionally, the prior-year and prior-quarter provisions included additions to the allowance for loan losses of $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Home equity net charge-offs were $796 million (3.32% net charge-off rate¹), compared with $1.3 billion (4.61% net charge-off rate¹) in the prior year. Subprime mortgage net charge-offs were $282 million (8.63% net charge-off rate¹), compared with $410 million (11.50% net charge-off rate¹). Prime mortgage net charge-offs were $264 million (1.79% net charge-off rate¹), compared with $481 million (3.07% net charge-off rate¹). The allowance for loan losses to ending loans retained, excluding purchased credit-impaired loans, was 5.26%, compared with 4.41% in the prior year and 5.16% in the prior quarter.

Noninterest expense was $4.3 billion, an increase of $202 million, or 5%, from the prior year.

Retail Banking reported net income of $914 million, a decrease of $56 million, or 6%, compared with the prior year.

Net revenue was $4.4 billion, down 3% compared with the prior year. The decrease was driven by declining deposit-related fees and lower deposit balances, largely offset by a shift to wider-spread deposit products and higher debit card income.

The provision for credit losses was $168 million, compared with $361 million in the prior year. The prior-year provision reflected an increase in the Business Banking allowance for loan losses. Retail Banking net charge-offs were $168 million (4.04% net charge-off rate), compared with $211 million (4.70% net charge-off rate) in the prior year.

Noninterest expense was $2.6 billion, up 3% compared with the prior year, resulting from sales force increases.

Mortgage Banking & Other Consumer Lending reported net income of $364 million, an increase of $129 million, or 55%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher noninterest revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

Net revenue of $2.0 billion was up by $193 million, or 10%, from the prior year, and includes Mortgage Banking revenue of $1.2 billion, up by $62 million, and Other Consumer Lending revenue (comprised of Auto and Student Lending) of $850 million, up by $131 million predominantly as a result of higher auto loan and lease balances. Mortgage Banking revenue includes $212 million of net interest income, $886 million of mortgage fees and related income and $100 million of other noninterest revenue. Included in mortgage fees and related income is $9 million of production revenue, compared with $284 million in the prior year, reflecting higher repurchase losses in the current year and the impact of write-downs on the mortgage warehouse in the prior year. Repurchase losses were $667 million, compared with $255 million in the prior year and $432 million in the prior quarter. Also included is net mortgage servicing revenue of $877 million, up by $354 million from the prior year, which is comprised of operating revenue and MSR risk management revenue. Operating revenue of $566 million was up by $124 million as the improvement in other changes in MSR asset fair value was partially offset by lower loan servicing revenue as a result of lower third-party loans serviced. MSR risk management results were $311 million, compared with $81 million in the prior year.

The provision for credit losses, predominantly related to the student and auto loan portfolios, was $175 million, compared with $366 million in the prior year. The prior-year provision reflected an increase in the allowance for loan losses for student and auto loans. Student loan and other net charge-offs were $150 million (4.04% net charge-off rate), compared with $101 million (2.79% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. Auto loan net charge-offs were $58 million (0.49% net charge-off rate), compared with $146 million (1.36% net charge-off rate) in the prior year.

End-of-period loans were $143.0 billion, a decrease of $28.5 billion, or 17%, from the prior year and $6.3 billion, or 4%, from the prior quarter. Average loans were $146.3 billion, a decrease of $27.8 billion, or 16%, from the prior year and $9.5 billion, or 6%, from the prior quarter. The declines in both end-of-period and average loans were consistent with expected portfolio run-off.

Net revenue was $4.2 billion, a decrease of $651 million, or 13%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $3.4 billion, down by $955 million, or 22%. The decrease was driven by lower average loan balances, the impact of legislative changes and a decreased level of fees. These decreases were offset partially by lower revenue reversals associated with lower charge-offs. Noninterest revenue was $861 million, an increase of $304 million, or 55%. The prior-year included a write-down of securitization interests.

The provision for credit losses was $2.2 billion, compared with $4.6 billion in the prior year and $3.5 billion in the prior quarter. The current-quarter provision included a reduction of $1.5 billion to the allowance for loan losses, reflecting reduced net charge-offs and lower estimated losses. The prior-year provision included an addition of $250 million to the allowance for loan losses. The net charge-off rate was 10.20%, up from 10.03% in the prior year and down from 11.75% in the prior quarter. The prior-quarter net charge-off rate was negatively affected by approximately 60 basis points from a payment-holiday program offered in the second quarter of 2009.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $693 million, an increase of $325 million, or 88%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by a reduction in the provision for credit losses.

Net revenue was $1.5 billion, relatively flat compared with the prior year. Net interest income was $940 million, down by $55 million, or 6%, driven by spread compression on liability products and lower loan balances, predominantly offset by growth in liability balances and wider loan spreads. Noninterest revenue was $546 million, an increase of $88 million, or 19%. The current quarter reflected gains on sales of loans and other real estate owned, and higher lending-related fees, while the prior year reflected markdowns on certain assets held at fair value.

Revenue from Middle Market Banking was $767 million, a decrease of $5 million, or 1%, from the prior year. Revenue from Commercial Term Lending was $237 million, an increase of $13 million, or 6%. Revenue from Mid-Corporate Banking was $285 million, a decrease of $20 million, or 7%. Revenue from Real Estate Banking was $125 million, an increase of $5 million, or 4%.

The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $235 million, compared with an expense of $312 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision included a reduction of $413 million to the allowance for credit losses, mainly due to refinements to credit loss estimates and improvement in the credit quality of the commercial and industrial portfolio. Net charge-offs were $176 million (0.74% net charge-off rate), compared with $181 million (0.67% net charge-off rate) in the prior year and $229 million (0.96% net charge-off rate) in the prior quarter. Current-quarter net charge-offs were largely related to commercial real estate. The allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained was 2.82%, down from 2.87% in the prior year and 3.15% in the prior quarter. Nonperforming loans were $3.1 billion, up by $1.0 billion from the prior year and $81 million from the prior quarter, reflecting increases in nonperforming commercial real estate loans.

Noninterest expense was $542 million, an increase of $7 million, relatively flat compared with the prior year.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $292 million, a decrease of $87 million, or 23%, from the prior year. These results reflected lower net revenue and higher noninterest expense. Compared with the prior quarter, net income increased by $13 million, or 5%, reflecting seasonal activity in securities lending and depositary receipts.

Net revenue was $1.9 billion, a decrease of $19 million, or 1%, from the prior year. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue was $955 million, relatively flat compared with the prior year, as lower spreads in securities lending and the impact of lower volatility on foreign exchange were offset by higher market levels and net inflows of assets under custody. Similarly, Treasury Services net revenue was $926 million, relatively flat as lower deposit spreads were offset by higher trade loan and card product volumes.

TSS generated firmwide net revenue¹ of $2.6 billion, including $1.7 billion by Treasury Services; of that amount, $926 million was recorded in Treasury Services, $665 million in Commercial Banking and $62 million in other lines of business. The remaining $955 million of firmwide net revenue was recorded in Worldwide Securities Services.

The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $16 million, compared with a benefit of $5 million in the prior year.

Noninterest expense was $1.4 billion, up $111 million, or 9% from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher performance-based compensation and continued investment in new product platforms, primarily related to international expansion.

Net income was $391 million, an increase of $39 million, or 11%, from the prior year. These results reflected higher net revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

Net revenue was $2.1 billion, an increase of $86 million, or 4%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $1.7 billion, up by $131 million, or 8%, due to the effect of higher market levels, net inflows to products with higher margins and higher performance fees, partially offset by lower quarterly valuations of seed capital investments. Net interest income was $369 million, down by $45 million, or 11%, due to narrower deposit spreads, largely offset by higher deposit balances.

Revenue from the Private Bank was $695 million, up 9% from the prior year. Revenue from Retail was $482 million, up 17%. Revenue from Institutional was $433 million, down 11%. Revenue from Private Wealth Management was $348 million, up 4%. Revenue from JPMorgan Securities was $110 million, flat compared with the prior year.

Assets under supervision were $1.6 trillion, an increase of $97 billion, or 6%, from the prior year. Assets under management were $1.2 trillion, a decrease of $10 billion, or 1%, due to outflows in liquidity products, predominantly offset by inflows in fixed income and equity products and the effect of higher market levels. Custody, brokerage, administration and deposit balances were $479 billion, up by $107 billion, or 29%, due to custody and brokerage inflows and the effect of higher market levels.

The provision for credit losses was $5 million, compared with $59 million in the prior year.

Noninterest expense was $1.4 billion, an increase of $51 million, or 4%, from the prior year, reflecting higher headcount.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $4.8 billion, up by $2.1 billion, or 76%, from the prior year. The increase in earnings was driven by a significantly lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower net revenue and higher noninterest expense.

Net revenue was $25.6 billion, a decrease of $2.1 billion, or 8%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $12.8 billion, down modestly from the prior year. The decline was driven by lower principal transactions revenue, reflecting lower trading results, and lower investment banking fees,

partially offset by higher securities gains. Net interest income was $12.8 billion, down by $1.9 billion, or 13%, largely driven by lower loan balances.

The provision for credit losses was $3.4 billion, down by $6.3 billion, or 65%, from the prior-year provision. The resulting firmwide allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained¹ was 5.34%, compared with 5.01% in the prior year. The total consumer provision for credit losses was $3.9 billion, compared with $8.5 billion, reflecting a reduction in the allowance for credit losses as a result of improved delinquency trends and reduced net charge-offs. Consumer net charge-offs¹ were $5.5 billion, compared with $7.0 billion, resulting in net charge-off rates of 5.34% and 6.18%, respectively. The wholesale provision for credit losses was a benefit of $572 million, compared with an expense of $1.2 billion, reflecting a reduction in the allowance for credit losses mainly due to net repayments, loan sales, refinements to credit loss estimates, and improvement in the credit quality of the commercial and industrial portfolio. Wholesale net charge-offs were $231 million, compared with $679 million, resulting in net charge-off rates of 0.44% and 1.19%, respectively. The Firm’s nonperforming assets totaled $18.2 billion at June 30, 2010, up from the prior-year level of $17.5 billion and down from the prior-quarter level of $19.0 billion.

Noninterest expense was $14.6 billion, up by $1.1 billion, or 8%. Current-quarter results included the impact of the U.K. bonus tax and higher litigation expense.

Notes on non-GAAP financial measures:

a. In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management reviews the Firm’s results and the results of the lines of business on a “managed” basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Firm’s definition of managed basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results and includes certain reclassifications to present total net revenue for the Firm (and each of the business segments) on a FTE basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax-exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits is presented in the managed results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This non-GAAP financial measure allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to these items is recorded within income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income as reported by the Firm as a whole or by the lines of business.

Prior to January 1, 2010, the Firm’s managed-basis presentation also included certain reclassification adjustments that assumed credit card loans securitized by CS remained on the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2010, the Firm adopted new accounting guidance that amended the accounting for the transfer of financial assets and the consolidation of VIEs. Additionally, the new guidance required the Firm to consolidate its Firm-sponsored credit card securitizations trusts. The income, expense and credit costs associated with these securitization activities are now recorded in the 2010 Consolidated Statements of Income in the same classifications that were previously used to report such items on a managed basis. As a result of the consolidation of the credit card securitization trusts, reported and managed basis relating to credit card securitizations are comparable for periods beginning after January 1, 2010.

The presentation in 2009 of CS results on a managed basis assumed that credit card loans that had been securitized and sold in accordance with U.S. GAAP remained on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and that the earnings on the securitized loans were classified in the same manner as the earnings on retained loans recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. JPMorgan Chase used the concept of managed basis to evaluate the credit performance and overall financial performance of the entire managed credit card portfolio. Operations were funded and decisions were made about allocating resources, such as employees and capital, based on managed financial information. In addition, the same underwriting standards and ongoing risk monitoring are used for both loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and securitized loans. Although securitizations result in the sale of credit card receivables to a trust, JPMorgan Chase retains the ongoing customer relationships, as the customers may continue to use their credit cards; accordingly, the customer’s credit performance affects both the securitized loans and the loans retained on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. JPMorgan Chase believed that this managed-basis information was useful to investors, as it enabled them to understand both the credit risks associated with the loans reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Firm’s retained interests in securitized loans.

b. The ratio for the allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans excludes the following: loans accounted for at fair value and loans held-for-sale; purchased credit-impaired loans; the allowance for loan losses related to purchased credit-impaired loans; and, loans from the Washington Mutual Master Trust, which were consolidated on the firm’s balance sheet at fair value during the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, Real Estate Portfolios net charge-off rates exclude the impact of purchased credit-impaired loans. The allowance for loan losses related to the purchased credit-impaired portfolio was $2.8 billion at both June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010. No allowance for loan losses was recorded at June 30, 2009 related to these loans.

c. Tier 1 Common Capital (“Tier 1 Common”) is defined as Tier 1 Capital less elements of capital not in the form of common equity – such as qualifying perpetual preferred stock, qualifying noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries and qualifying trust preferred capital debt securities. Tier 1 Common, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by banking regulators, investors and analysts to assess and compare the quality and composition of the Firm’s capital with the capital of other financial services companies. The Firm uses Tier 1 Common along with the other capital measures to assess and monitor its capital position.

d. Headcount-related expense includes salary and benefits (excluding performance-based incentives), and other noncompensation costs related to employees.

e. TSS firmwide revenue includes certain TSS product revenue and liability balances reported in other lines of business – mainly CB, RFS and AM – related to customers who are also customers of those lines of business.

f. Pretax margin represents income before income tax expense divided by total net revenue, which is, in management’s view, a comprehensive measure of pretax performance derived by measuring earnings after all costs are taken into consideration. It is, therefore, another basis that management uses to evaluate the performance of TSS and AM against the performance of their respective competitors.
