SLM CORPORATION (NYSE: SLM) LOAN ORIGINATIONS GROW 18 PERCENT,
TOTAL $18 BILLION FOR 2004
Total Managed Portfolio Passes $107 Billion; Company Completes Privatization Process
Nearly Four Years Ahead of Schedule
RESTON, Va., Jan. 19, 2005—SLM Corporation (NYSE: SLM), commonly known as Sallie Mae, today reported fourth-quarter and year-end results that include a record $18 billion in annual preferred-channel loan originations, an 18-percent increase from the prior year. Preferred-channel loans are originated through Sallie Mae's owned or affiliated brands, and provide the engine for the company's market leadership in education finance.
"We significantly expanded our customer reach this year through acquisitions and organic growth," said Albert L. Lord, vice chairman and chief executive officer. "I am also pleased that we successfully completed our GSE privatization while delivering strong financial results. We are well positioned to build on our consistent record of performance."
Sallie Mae reports financial results on a GAAP basis and also presents certain non-GAAP or "core cash" performance measures. The company's equity investors, credit rating agencies and debt capital providers use these "core cash" measures to monitor the company's business performance. A description of the "core cash" treatment and a full reconciliation to the GAAP income statement can be found at www.salliemae.com.
Sallie Mae reported fourth-quarter 2004 GAAP net income of $650 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, compared to $264 million, or $.54 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Included in the quarterly results is a $(118) million pretax charge, or $(.17) per diluted share, taken to defease the company's remaining government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) debt. Also affecting the quarterly results are accounting rule changes related to contingently convertible bonds which reduced earnings per diluted share by $(.08). For the year ended Dec. 31, 2004, GAAP net income was $1.9 billion, or $4.04 per diluted share, compared to $1.5 billion, or $3.18 per diluted share, in 2003.
"Core cash" net income for the 2004 fourth quarter was $180 million, or $.39 per diluted share, compared to $285 million, or $.59 per diluted share, in the same period last year. The effects of the GSE debt defeasance and the contingently convertible bonds on fourth quarter earnings per diluted share were $(.17) and $(.02), respectively. Exclusive of these items, fourth-quarter and year-end 2004 "core cash" net income would have been $256 million and $986 million, or $.58 per diluted share and $2.19 per diluted share, respectively.
"Core cash" net interest income was $478 million in the fourth-quarter 2004 and $1.8 billion for the year, a 10-percent increase over 2003. During the year, the company's managed student loan portfolio grew 21 percent to $107 billion.
The company received $111 million in debt management revenue during the 2004 fourth quarter and $340 million in the year, up 61 percent and 31 percent, respectively, from the year-ago periods. "Core cash" other income, which includes debt management revenues, guarantor servicing fees and privatization expenses described above, was $88 million in the 2004 fourth quarter and $499 million for
the year. This compares to "core cash" other income of $190 million in the year-ago quarter and $631 million for 2003, both figures inclusive of a one-time, $42 million increase related to the sale of the company's headquarters building.
"Core cash" operating expenses were $255 million for the quarter and $859 million for the year, up from $245 million in the year-ago quarter and $768 million for 2003. Last year's fourth quarter "core cash" operating expenses included a one-time, $40 million donation to The Sallie Mae Fund of the net proceeds from the headquarters sale.
Total equity for the company at Dec. 31, 2004, was $3.1 billion, up from the year ago total of $2.6 billion. Tangible capital was 1.6 percent of managed assets at Dec. 31, 2004, compared to 2.0 percent as of Dec. 31, 2003.

- In December 2004, the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force (the "EITF") Issue No. 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share" ("EITF No. 04-8"), which requires the shares underlying contingently convertible debt instruments ("Co-Cos") to be included in diluted earnings per share computations using the "if-converted" accounting method regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. Diluted earnings per common share amounts have been retroactively restated for all prior periods presented to give effect to the application of EITF No. 04-8 as it relates to the Company's $2 billion in Co-Cos issued in May 2003. The effect of the adoption of EITF No. 04-8 was to decrease diluted earnings per common share by the following amounts:

2 Non-GAAP "Core Cash" Earnings
In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the SEC, we prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to evaluating the Company's GAAP-based financial information, management, credit rating agencies, lenders and analysts also evaluate the Company on certain non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as "core cash" measures. While "core cash" measures are not a substitute for reported results under GAAP, we rely on "core cash" measures in operating our business because we believe they provide additional information regarding the operational and performance indicators that are most closely assessed by management.
We report pro forma "core cash" measures, which are the primary financial performance measures used by management not only in developing our financial plans and tracking results, but also in establishing corporate performance targets and determining incentive compensation. Management believes this information provides additional insight into the financial performance of the Company's core business activities. Our "core cash" measures are not defined terms within GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. "Core cash" measures reflect only current period adjustments to GAAP earnings as described below. Accordingly, the Company's "core cash" measures presentation does not represent another comprehensive basis of accounting. A more detailed discussion of the differences between GAAP and "core cash" measures follows.
- 1)
- Securitization: Under GAAP, certain securitization transactions are accounted for as sales of assets. Under "core cash," we present all securitization transactions as long-term non-recourse financings. The upfront "gains" on sale from securitization as well as ongoing "servicing and securitization revenue" presented in accordance with GAAP are excluded from "core cash" measures and replaced by the interest income, provision for loan losses, and interest expense as they are earned or incurred on the securitized loans. We also exclude transactions with our off-balance sheet trusts which would be considered intercompany on a Managed Basis.
- 2)
- Derivative Accounting: "Core cash" measures exclude the periodic unrealized gains and losses primarily caused by the one-sided mark-to-market derivative valuations prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and recognize the economic effect of these hedges, which results in any cash paid or received being recognized ratably as an expense or revenue over the hedged item's life. We also exclude the gain or loss on our equity forward contracts that are required to be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133 as derivatives and are marked to market through earnings.
- 3)
- Floor Income: The timing and amount (if any) of Floor Income earned is uncertain and in excess of expected spreads and, therefore, we exclude such income when it is not economically hedged from "core cash" measures. We employ derivatives, primarily Floor Income Contracts and futures, to economically hedge Floor Income. As discussed in more detail below, these derivatives do not qualify as effective accounting hedges and therefore are marked-to-market through the derivative market value adjustment. For "core cash" measures, we reverse the fair value adjustments on the Floor Income Contracts and futures economically hedging Floor Income and include the amortization of net premiums received (net of Eurodollar futures contracts' realized gains or losses) in income.
- 4)
- Other items: We exclude certain transactions that are not considered part of our core business, including amortization of acquired intangibles.
