New York, July 17, 2008— JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) today reported 2008 second-quarter net income of $2.0 billion, compared with net income of $4.2 billion in the second quarter of 2007. Earnings per share of $0.54 were down 55%, compared with earnings per share of $1.20 in the second quarter of 2007. Current-quarter results include the effect of merger-related items amounting to a net loss of $540 million (after-tax) related to the acquisition of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc., which closed on May 30, 2008. Excluding these items, net income would have been $2.5 billion.
Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the quarter: “Our earnings were down significantly due to the unfavorable credit environment and market conditions. The Investment Bank took additional markdowns on leveraged loans and mortgage-related positions. Retail Financial Services experienced further deterioration in its home lending portfolio, which resulted in higher charge-offs and an increase in the allowance for credit losses. However, the firm overall continued to maintain solid underlying business momentum. We had market share gains in Investment Banking fees and key product areas. Retail Financial Services posted organic revenue growth of 15%, and all of our major businesses produced growth in accounts, balances and volumes. Further positive results in the quarter included record performance from both Commercial Banking and Treasury & Securities Services.”
Mr. Dimon added, “We also completed the highly complex Bear Stearns acquisition as planned. Through the truly remarkable partnership and efforts of our people in extremely difficult times, we made great progress towards full integration, while also significantly reducing our combined risk

positions. We now have an expanded platform to better serve our institutional clients — one which we fully expect will make our franchise stronger over time.”
Mr. Dimon further remarked, “I am pleased with the strength of our balance sheet and capital positions, particularly in the context of the market challenges we have faced during the past year. During the quarter, we added $1.3 billion to our allowance for credit losses (which now totals $13.9 billion) and maintained strong capital ratios.”
Discussing the firm’s outlook, Dimon said, “Our expectation is for the economic environment to continue to be weak — and to likely get weaker — and for the capital markets to remain under stress. We remain conscious that since substantial risks still remain on our balance sheet, these factors will likely affect our business for the remainder of the year or longer. However, the firm has delivered underlying growth across most of our businesses, and with our substantial capital base we can continue to invest for the future. In spite of the environment, we are confident that we are building an increasingly strong and profitable company.”
In the discussion below of the business segments and JPMorgan Chase, information is presented on a managed basis. Managed basis starts with GAAP results and includes the following adjustments: for Card Services and the firm as a whole, the impact of credit card securitizations is excluded, and for each line of business and the firm as a whole, net revenue is shown on a tax-equivalent basis. For more information about managed basis, as well as other non-GAAP financial measures used by management to evaluate the performance of each line of business, see Notes 1 and 2 (page 12).

Discussion of Results:
Net income was $394 million, a decrease from net income of $1.2 billion in the prior year. The lower results reflected increased noninterest expense, a decline in net revenue and a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by the benefit of reduced deferred tax liabilities.

Net revenue was $5.5 billion, a decrease of $328 million, or 6%, from the prior year. Investment banking fees were $1.7 billion (the second-highest quarter ever), down 9% from the prior year. Advisory fees of $370 million were down 34% from the prior year, reflecting reduced levels of activity. Debt underwriting fees of $823 million were down 1%, driven by a decline in loan syndication fees reflecting market conditions offset by higher bond underwriting fees. Equity underwriting fees were $542 million, up 6% from the prior year. Fixed Income Markets revenue was $2.3 billion, down $98 million, or 4%, from the prior year, driven largely by net markdowns of $696 million on leveraged lending funded and unfunded commitments, as well as mortgage-related net markdowns of $405 million. These marks were partially offset by strong performance in rates, currencies, emerging markets, and credit trading, as well as gains of $165 million from the widening of the firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities. Equity Markets revenue was $1.1 billion, down $170 million, or 14% from the prior year, driven by weak trading results offset partially by strong client revenue and a gain of $149 million from the widening of the firm’s credit

spread on certain structured liabilities. Credit Portfolio revenue was $309 million, up $105 million, or 51% from the prior year, reflecting increased net interest income on higher loan balances.
The provision for credit losses was $398 million, compared with $164 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision reflects a weakening credit environment. Net recoveries were $8 million, compared with net recoveries of $16 million in the prior year.

Average loans retained were $76.2 billion, an increase of $17.2 billion, or 29%, from the prior year, largely driven by growth in acquisition finance activity, including leveraged lending, and a facility extended to Bear Stearns. Average fair value and held-for-sale loans were $20.4 billion, up $5.6 billion, or 38%, from the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $4.7 billion, an increase of $880 million, or 23%, from the prior year, largely driven by higher compensation expense and the Bear Stearns acquisition.

Net revenue was $5.0 billion, an increase of $658 million, or 15%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $3.0 billion, up $382 million, or 14%, due to higher loan balances, wider deposit spreads and higher deposit balances.

mortgage loans. Home equity net charge-offs were $511 million (2.16% net charge-off rate), compared with $98 million (0.44% net charge-off rate) in the prior year.

Prime mortgage net charge-offs (including net charge-offs reflected in the Corporate segment) were $104 million (0.91% net charge-off rate), compared with $4 million (0.05% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. The current-quarter provision includes an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $430 million due to increases in estimated losses in the subprime and prime mortgage portfolios. An additional provision for prime mortgage loans of $170 million has been reflected in the Corporate segment.
Noninterest expense was $2.7 billion, an increase of $186 million, or 7%, from the prior year, reflecting higher mortgage production and servicing expense, and investment in the retail distribution network.
Regional Bankingnet income was $354 million, down $275 million, or 44%, from the prior year. Net revenue was $3.6 billion, up $320 million, or 10%, benefiting from higher loan balances, wider deposit spreads, higher deposit-related fees and higher deposit balances. The provision for credit losses was $1.2 billion, compared with $494 million in the prior year. The provision reflected weakness in the home equity and mortgage portfolios (see Retail Financial Services discussion of the provision for credit losses for further detail). Noninterest expense was $1.8 billion, up $29 million, or 2%, from the prior year, due to investment in the retail distribution network.

Mortgage Bankingnet income was $169 million, an increase of $98 million, or 138% from the prior year. Net revenue was $922 million, up $289 million, or 46%. Net revenue comprises production revenue and net mortgage servicing revenue. Production revenue was $597 million, up $134 million, predominantly benefiting from higher loan originations. Net mortgage servicing revenue, which includes loan servicing revenue, MSR risk management results and other changes in fair value, was $325 million, compared with $170 million in the prior year. Loan servicing revenue of $678 million increased by $63 million on growth of 15% in third-party loans serviced. MSR risk management results were positive $41 million compared with negative $62 million in the prior year. Other changes in fair value of the MSR asset were negative $394 million compared with negative $383 million in the prior year. Noninterest expense was $649 million, an increase of $133 million, or 26%. The increase reflected higher mortgage reinsurance losses, higher production expense due in part to growth in origination volume, and higher servicing costs due to increased delinquencies and defaults.

Net income was $250 million, a decline of $509 million, or 67%, from the prior year. The decrease was driven by a higher provision for credit losses.
End-of-period managed loans of $155.4 billion grew by $7.4 billion, or 5%, from the prior year and $4.4 billion, or 3%, from the prior quarter. Average managed loans of $152.8 billion increased $5.4 billion, or 4%, from the prior year and were flat from the prior quarter, reflecting seasonal patterning. The increase from the prior year in both end-of-period and average managed loans reflects organic portfolio growth.
Managed net revenue was $3.8 billion, an increase of $58 million, or 2%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $3.0 billion, up $56 million, or 2%, from the prior year. The increase in net interest income was driven by higher average managed loan balances, an increased level of fees and wider loan spreads. These benefits were offset largely by the effect of higher revenue reversals associated with higher charge-offs. Noninterest revenue of $764 million was flat compared with the prior year. Increased interchange income (the result of charge volume growth of 6%), higher revenue from fee-based products, and higher securitization income were offset by increased rewards expense and higher volume-driven payments to partners (both of which are netted against interchange income).

Net revenue was a record $2.0 billion, an increase of $278 million, or 16%, from the prior year. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue of $1.2 billion was a record, up $146 million, or 14%, from the prior year. The growth was driven by increased product usage by new and existing clients (largely in custody, funds services and depositary receipts), wider spreads in securities lending and higher levels of market volatility in foreign exchange driven by recent market conditions. These benefits were offset partially by spread compression on liability products. Treasury Services net revenue was a record $852 million, an increase of $132 million, or 18%, from the prior year. This increase reflected higher liability balances and wider market-driven spreads as well as growth in

Net revenue was $2.1 billion, a decrease of $73 million, or 3%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $1.7 billion, a decline of $141 million, or 8%, due to lower performance fees and the effect of lower markets offset partially by increased revenue from net asset inflows, higher placement fees and the acquisition of Bear Stearns. Net interest income was $361 million, up $68 million, or 23%, from the prior year, predominantly due to higher deposit and loan balances.
Private Bank revenue grew 18% to $765 million due to increased deposit and loan balances, higher placement fees and higher assets under management, partially offset by lower performance fees. Retail revenue declined 19% to $490 million due to net equity outflows. Institutional revenue declined 24% to $472 million due to lower performance fees, partially offset by growth in assets under management.

deposit and loan balances and growth in assets under management. Bear Stearns Brokerage added $38 million to revenue.
Assets under supervision were $1.6 trillion, an increase of $139 billion, or 9%, from the prior year. Assets under management were $1.2 trillion, up $76 billion, or 7%, from the prior year. The increase was due largely to liquidity product inflows across all segments and the Bear Stearns acquisition offset partially by lower equity markets and equity product outflows. Custody, brokerage, administration and deposit balances were $426 billion, up $63 billion, driven by the acquisition of Bear Stearns Brokerage.
The provision for credit losses was $17 million, compared with a benefit of $11 million in the prior year, reflecting an increase in loan balances and a lower level of recoveries.
Noninterest expense was $1.4 billion, up $45 million, or 3%, from the prior year, largely driven by the Bear Stearns acquisition and increased headcount offset partially by lower performance-based compensation.

net revenue. In addition, other merger-related items of $117 million ($188 million pretax) were reflected almost entirely in noninterest expense.
Net income for Private Equity was $99 million, compared with $702 million in the prior year. Net revenue was $197 million, a decrease of $1.1 billion, reflecting Private Equity gains of $220 million, compared with gains of $1.3 billion in the prior year. Noninterest expense was $44 million, a decline of $154 million from the prior year, reflecting lower compensation expense.
Excluding the after-tax effect of Bear Stearns merger-related items of negative $540 million, net income for Corporate was $19 million, compared with a net loss of $320 million in the prior year. Net revenue was $452 million, compared with a negative $231 million in the prior year, reflecting a higher level of securities gains, predominantly related to a gain of $668 million from the sale of MasterCard shares, and a wider net interest spread. These benefits were offset partially by trading-related losses. The current-quarter provision for credit losses includes an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $170 million for prime mortgage (see Retail Financial Services’ discussion of provision for loan losses for further detail). Noninterest expense was $170 million, a decrease of $135 million, or 44%, from the prior year. The decrease reflected reduced litigation expense and the absence of prior-year merger expense related to the Bank One merger.

(a) Presented on a managed basis; see Note 1 (page 12) for further explanation of managed basis. Net revenue on a U.S. GAAP basis was $18,399 million, $16,890 million and $18,908 million for the second quarter of 2008, first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007, respectively.
Discussion of Results:
Net income was $2.0 billion, a decrease of $2.2 billion, or 53%, from the prior year. The decline in earnings was driven by a higher provision for credit losses and increased noninterest expense.
Managed net revenue was $19.7 billion, a decrease of $141 million, or 1%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue of $9.5 billion was down $2.6 billion, or 22%, due to lower principal transactions revenue, which reflected net markdowns on leveraged lending funded and unfunded commitments and mortgage-related markdowns, and lower levels of private equity gains. In addition, the firm’s share of Bear Stearns’ losses from April 8 to May 30, 2008, and lower investment banking fees contributed to the decline in noninterest revenue. The decline was offset

partially by a gain on the sale of MasterCard shares. Net interest income was $10.2 billion, up $2.5 billion, or 33%, due to higher trading-related net interest income and higher loan and deposit balances.
The managed provision for credit losses was $4.3 billion, up $2.2 billion, or 102%, from the prior year. The total consumer-managed provision for credit losses was $3.8 billion, compared with $1.9 billion in the prior year, reflecting increases in the allowance for credit losses predominantly related to subprime mortgage, prime mortgage and credit card loans, as well as higher net charge-offs. Consumer-managed net charge-offs were $2.9 billion, compared with $1.6 billion, resulting in a managed net charge-off rate of 3.08% and 1.90%, respectively. The wholesale provision for credit losses was $505 million, compared with $198 million in the prior year, due to an increase in the allowance for credit losses reflecting the effect of a weakening credit environment and loan growth. Wholesale net charge-offs were $41 million, compared with net recoveries of $29 million, resulting in net charge-off rates of 0.08% and a net recovery rate of 0.07%, respectively. The firm had total nonperforming assets of $6.6 billion at June 30, 2008, up from the prior-year level of $2.6 billion.
Noninterest expense was $12.2 billion, up $1.1 billion, or 10%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher compensation expense, the acquisition of Bear Stearns (including merger-related costs) and higher mortgage production and servicing expense.

Notes:
1. In addition to analyzing the firm’s results on a reported basis, management analyzes the firm’s and the lines of business’ results 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 the following adjustments: First, for Card Services and the firm, managed basis excludes the impact of credit card securitizations on total net revenue, the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and loan receivables. The presentation of Card Services results on a managed basis assumes that credit card loans that have been securitized and sold in accordance with SFAS 140 still remain on the balance sheet and that the earnings on the securitized loans are classified in the same manner as the earnings on retained loans recorded on the balance sheet. JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of managed basis to evaluate the credit performance and overall financial performance of the entire managed credit card portfolio. Operations are funded and decisions are made about allocating resources, such as employees and capital, based upon managed financial information. In addition, the same underwriting standards and ongoing risk monitoring are used for both loans on the balance sheet 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 will affect both the securitized loans and the loans retained on the balance sheet. JPMorgan Chase believes managed basis information is useful to investors, enabling them to understand both the credit risks associated with the loans reported on the balance sheet and the firm’s retained interests in securitized loans. Second, managed revenue (noninterest revenue and net interest income) for each of the segments and the firm is presented on a tax-equivalent 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 methodology 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. See page 6 of JPMorgan Chase’s Earnings Release Financial Supplement (second quarter of 2008) for a reconciliation of JPMorgan Chase’s income statement from a reported to managed basis.
2. 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 competitors.
