E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:ETFC) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2014, reporting net income of $86 million, or $0.29 per share. This compares with net income of $69 million, or $0.24 per share in the prior quarter, and $47 million, or $0.16 per share in the third quarter of 2013. Total net revenue of $440 million increased from $438 million in the prior quarter and $417 million in the third quarter of 2013.

During the quarter, the Company’s income tax expense included a benefit of approximately $8 million, or $0.03 per share⁽²⁾, primarily related to the settlement of a state tax audit.

“Our solid performance continued through the third quarter as our core business showed strength despite the typically slower summer months and uncertainty in the broader global markets,” said Paul Idzik, Chief Executive Officer. “Our customers remained engaged, with DARTs up six percent from a year ago and margin balances at all-time highs for the Company. Additionally, we continue to make meaningful progress on the regulatory and capital front as evidenced by $400 million in dividends from the bank to the parent over the past five quarters. We remain focused on putting this capital to work for our owners, and aim to rationalize our capital structure – leading with actions to address our corporate debt profile. I am quite excited about the prospects ahead of us, and I look forward to closing out 2014 as a year of significant accomplishments for E*TRADE.”

E*TRADE reported DARTs of 153,000 during the quarter, a decrease of one percent from the prior quarter and an increase of six percent versus the same quarter a year ago.

The Company ended the quarter with 3.1 million brokerage accounts, an increase of 24,000 from the prior quarter. This compared with 33,000 net new brokerage accounts in the prior quarter and 13,000 in the third quarter of 2013. Brokerage account attrition for the quarter was 9.1 percent annualized.

The Company ended the quarter with $282 billion in total customer assets, compared with $281 billion at the end of the prior quarter and $241 billion from a year ago.

During the quarter, customers added $2.3 billion in net new brokerage assets, representing an annualized growth rate of 3.9 percent. Brokerage related cash increased by $0.4 billion to $40.4 billion during the period. Customers were net buyers of approximately $2.2 billion of securities. Margin receivables averaged $7.6 billion in the quarter, up four percent over last quarter and up 29 percent year over year, ending the quarter at $8.1 billion.

Corporate cash ended the quarter at $610 million⁽¹⁾, an increase of $40 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 third quarter was $269 million, down slightly from $270 million in the prior quarter and up from $241 million a year ago. Third quarter results reflected a net interest spread of 2.54 percent on average interest-earning assets of $41.3 billion, compared with 2.55 percent on $41.4 billion in the prior quarter.

Commissions, fees and service charges, and other revenue in the third quarter were $163 million, compared with $161 million in the prior quarter and $152 million in the third quarter of 2013. Average commission per trade for the quarter was $11.05, compared with $10.72 in the prior quarter, and $11.15 in the third quarter of 2013.

Total net revenue in the quarter also included $8 million of net gains on loans and securities. This compared with $7 million in the prior quarter, which included gains related to the sale of modified loans, and $12 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Total operating expenses in the quarter of $277 million decreased $7 million sequentially, and increased $6 million from the year ago period.

The Company’s loan portfolio ended the quarter at $6.7 billion, contracting approximately $0.4 billion from the prior quarter. Third quarter provision for loan losses of $10 million was down from $12 million in the prior quarter.

Net charge-offs in the quarter were $10 million, compared with $14 million in the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses ended the quarter unchanged from the previous quarter at $401 million.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company reported bank and consolidated Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.4 percent⁽³⁾ and 7.7 percent⁽⁴⁾, respectively, compared with 10.2 percent⁽³⁾ and 7.5 percent⁽⁴⁾ in the prior quarter.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Metrics

Management believes that corporate cash, tangible book value per share, EBITDA, interest coverage, E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 common ratio and E*TRADE Financial capital 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.

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 endnote (1) 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.

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 calculation of this non-GAAP measure on a GAAP basis.

E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 Common Ratio and E*TRADE Financial Capital 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 (3) and (4) 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 substitutes for, or superior to, net income, 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.

(3) E*TRADE Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and Tier 1 common ratios are preliminary for the current period. E*TRADE Bank’s Tier 1 common ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes this ratio is an important measure of capital strength. E*TRADE Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and Tier 1 common ratios are calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 common / Total risk-weighted assets		24.6	%		24.7	%		22.2	%

^(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) E*TRADE Financial’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and Tier 1 common ratios are preliminary for the current period, and are based on the Federal Reserve’s well-capitalized requirements. While E*TRADE Financial is not currently subject to capital requirements, the implementation of holding company capital requirements are 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 ratios currently applicable to bank holding companies, in preparation for the application of these requirements. The Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and Tier 1 common ratios are calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

	Q3 2014			Q2 2014			Q3 2013
E*TRADE Financial shareholders' equity	$	5,274		$	5,188		$	4,829

E*TRADE Financial Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital / Average total assets for leverage capital purposes)		7.7	%		7.5	%		6.6	%
E*TRADE Financial Tier 1 capital / Total risk-weighted assets		18.5	%		18.3	%		15.3	%
E*TRADE Financial total capital / Total risk-weighted assets		19.7	%		19.5	%		16.6	%
E*TRADE Financial Tier 1 common / Total risk-weighted assets		16.1	%		15.8	%		12.9	%

^(a) The Company is continuing to include TRUPs in E*TRADE Financial’s Tier 1 capital due to the regulatory agencies’ delay in the implementation of the TRUPs phase-out for the Company until January 1, 2015.

^(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 before other income (expense) and income taxes. The percentage is calculated by dividing income 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 at period end (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

	Q3 2014			Q2 2014			Q3 2013
Book value	$	5,274		$	5,188		$	4,829
Less: Goodwill and other intangibles, net		(1,991	)		(1,997	)		(2,014	)

Less: Deferred tax liability related to goodwill per share		1.32			1.29			1.15
Tangible book value per share	$	12.69		$	12.34		$	10.96

(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 assets 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 3.0, 2.4, and 1.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, respectively.

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

	Q3 2014			Q2 2014			Q3 2013
Total net revenue	$	427		$	426		$	397
Provision for loan losses		10			12			37
Total operating expenses		238			254			221
Other income (expense)		(1	)		(1	)		(0	)
Income before income taxes		178			159			139
Income tax expense		59			53			54
Net income	$	119		$	106		$	85

(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 at the end of the periods presented (dollars in millions):

	Q3 2014		Q2 2014		Q3 2013
One- to four-family	$	131	$	137	$	424
Home equity		267		274		286
Total charge-offs	$	398	$	411	$	710

(16) Includes unpaid principal balances and premiums (discounts).

(17) The TDR loan performance detail is a subset of the Company’s total loan performance. TDRs include loan modifications performed under the Company’s modification programs. Beginning in Q412, loans that had been charged-off due to bankruptcy notification were also considered TDRs.

(18) Modifications are a subset of TDRs, and represent loan modifications performed under the Company’s modification programs. They do not include loans that have been charged-off due to the Company receiving notification of bankruptcy if the loan has not been modified previously by the Company. The following table shows the reconciliation of total TDRs that had a modification and those which the Company received a notification of bankruptcy (dollars in millions):

	Q3 2014		Q2 2014		Q3 2013
Modified loans	$	357	$	364	$	1,253
Bankruptcy loans		181		181		196
