Wachovia 4Q05 Quarterly Earnings Report
Explanation of “Combined” Results
Certain tables and narrative comparisons in this quarterly earnings report include references to “Combined” results for fourth quarter 2004 or for the year end 2004. “Combined” results for the fourth quarter of 2004 represent Wachovia’s actual fourth quarter 2004 results plus the actual results of SouthTrust for October 2004. “Combined” results for the year 2004 include actual SouthTrust results for the first ten months of 2004. The “Combined” results are for illustrative purposes only and the presentation of results on this “Combined” basis is not a presentation that conforms with generally accepted accounting principles. Each period’s “Combined” results include purchase accounting and other closing adjustments as of the actual closing date of November 1, 2004; no attempt was made to estimate these purchase accounting and other closing adjustments on the “Combined” results for prior periods “as if” the merger had occurred on prior dates. Readers are encouraged to refer to Wachovia’s results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which may be found in exhibit (99)(c) to Wachovia’s current report on form 8-K, filed on January 19, 2006. All narrative comparisons are to wachovia-only results for prior periods unless otherwise noted. See also “Supplemental Illustrative Combined Information” beginning on page 47 for a further discussion regarding the “Combined” presentation.
All narrative comparisons of “Combined” results pertain to fourth quarter 2005 reported results versus “Combined” fourth quarter 2004 results unless otherwise noted.
For ease of use, comments herein pertaining to As Reported or Actual results are presented in bold type.

| • | | FTE employees up 1,073 on the AmNet acquisition and investments in sales and service personnel, de novo branches |

Key Points
| • | | Other noninterest expense grew 6% and 12% vs. 4Q04;increased 8% from Combined 4Q04 |
| • | | Salaries and employee benefits were relatively flat; higher severance expenses of $73 million more than offset declines in revenue-based incentives and benefits expense |
| • | | Occupancy costs rose 9% and reflect continued investments in our branch network |
| • | | Professional and consulting fees increased 28%, or $46 million, and 19% vs. 4Q04; includes project costs relating to efficiency initiative as well as seasonally higher billings |
| • | | Sundry expense increased $150 million, driven by higher legal costs and $58 million in corporate contributions |

Summary Operating Results
Business segment results are presented excluding (i) merger-related and restructuring expenses, (ii) deposit base intangible and other intangible amortization expense, (iii) amounts presented as discontinued operations and (iv) the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This is the basis on which we manage and allocate capital to our business segments. We continuously assess assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications to better reflect the true economics of our business segments.
In December 2005, we sold the majority of our Corporate and Institutional Trust (“CIT”) businesses, including (i) our corporate trust, institutional custody, document custody and structured finance trust units and (ii) our stock transfer agent units, in two separate transactions for an aggregate initial sale price of $740 million. These transactions generated fourth quarter 2005 net pre-tax gains of $447 million, or $214 million after tax, and reduced goodwill and other intangibles by $210 million. We may realize up to an additional $80 million pre-tax, or $50 million after tax, in the corporate trust and institutional custody transaction, depending on the level of business retained during the 12-month period following the completion of the transaction. The gain on sale has been presented, net of applicable taxes, as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Financial results of the divested CIT businesses have not been presented as discontinued operations due to lack of materiality to Wachovia, but have been excluded from results presented for our Capital Management business segment and included in the Parent segment.
CIT’s securities lending unit, Metropolitan West, and our institutional retirement plan business, Wachovia Retirement Services, were not included in these transactions. We are firmly committed to these businesses and will continue to operate and grow them.
We continuously update segment information for changes that occur in the management of our businesses. In 1Q05, we transferred certain insurance brokerage business lines to Wealth Management from Capital Management and have updated information for 2004 to reflect this change. The impact to segment earnings for full year 2004 as a result of this and other changes including the CIT sale was a $10 million decrease in the General Bank, a $58 million decrease in Capital Management, an $8 million increase in Wealth Management, a $46 million decrease in the Corporate and Investment Bank and a $106 million increase in the Parent. Additionally, in 1Q05 we updated the presentation for all periods of sub-segment results for the Corporate and Investment Bank to be more consistent with the management of these business lines. Specifically, Loan Syndications was moved from Corporate Lending to Investment Banking and the formerly separate Principal Investing sub-segment was combined with Investment Banking. The impact to previously reported sub-segment earnings for full year 2004 was a reduction of $99 million for Corporate Lending and a net increase of $73 million for Investment Banking, including a $133 million loss from the Principal Investing sub-segment which was combined with the Investment Banking sub-segment.
The financial information presented herein for 4Q05 has been revised from originally presented amounts to reflect a reclassification of $16 million of revenue from trading account interest income to trading profits (losses), which resulted in a 2 bps reduction in previously reported net interest margin. Additionally, based on a review of product offerings and related pricing strategies, we have refined our definition of low-cost core deposits. Prior period amounts have been revised to be consistent with the current period presentation.
In a rising rate environment, Wachovia benefits from a widening spread between deposit costs and wholesale funding costs. However, our funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) system, described below, credits this benefit to deposit-providing business on a lagged basis. The effect of the FTP system results in rising charges to business units for funding to support predominantly floating rate assets. This benefit of higher rates earned on floating-rate assets and lagging rates on longer duration deposits is captured in the central money book in the Parent segment.
In order to remove interest rate risk from each core business segment, the management reporting model employs a FTP system. The FTP system matches the duration of the funding used by each segment to the duration of the assets and liabilities contained in each segment. Matching the duration, or the effective term until an instrument can be repriced, allocates interest income and/or interest expense to each segment so its resulting net interest income is insulated from interest rate risk.
At December 31, 2005, we administered one off-balance sheet conduit with commercial paper outstanding of $9.7 billion. We provide liquidity facilities on substantially all the commercial paper issued by the conduit. Prior to November 2005, we consolidated this conduit because our liquidity facility exposed us to the majority of the expected loss, as determined under the applicable accounting guidance, FIN 46R. In November 2005, this conduit issued a subordinated note to a third-party investor that resulted in that investor becoming the
Page-19
Wachovia 4Q05 Quarterly Earnings Report
holder of the majority of the expected loss, as determined under FIN 46R, and thus we ceased consolidation of the conduit. In and December 2005, this conduit purchased substantially all the assets of another conduit we administer and also purchased all the commercial paper issued by the second conduit. Amounts included in the September 30, 2005, balance sheet related to these conduits included $7.7 billion of assets, including $4.1 billion of securities and $3.6 billion of other earning assets, and $8.6 billion of short-term borrowings.
In November 2005, we announced our intention to re-enter the credit market as a direct issuer beginning in January 2006. This announcement coincided with our decision to terminate our existing joint marketing agreement with MBNA Corporation, as a result of the Bank of America/MBNA merger, which closed on January 1, 2006. Upon consummation of that merger, MBNA paid us a $100 million termination fee, which will be recorded as other income. We expect to invest this to better position the company for future earnings growth including funding costs associated with re-entering the credit card business.
As previously disclosed, the FASB has been discussing several matters relating to leveraged lease accounting and uncertain tax positions. On July 14, 2005, the FASB issued a proposed FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) that would amend SFAS 13 such that changes that affect the timing of cash flows but not the total net income under the lease will also trigger a recalculation of the lease. The FASB has also issued a proposed FASB Interpretation, “Uncertain Tax Positions”, to clarify the criteria for recognition of income tax benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Please see pages 25-26 of Exhibit 19 to Wachovia’s 2005 Third Quarter Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of these FASB proposals. The FASB has not completed its final deliberations on either of these proposals. However, the FASB has indicated that the effective date of the proposed FSP on leveraged leases will not be December 31, 2005, as provided for in the proposed FSP. Additionally, the FASB has indicated the effective date for the final interpretation on uncertain tax positions will be January 1, 2007.

Net interest income of $3.6 billion increased $135 million, or 4%, on average earning asset growth, deposit growth and trading-related net interest income (offset with losses in trading account profits). Net interest income rose $218 million from 4Q04 reflecting the addition of SouthTrust. Net Interest income rose 2% from Combined 4Q04 as deposit and loan growth was partially offset by margin compression resulting from a flatter yield curve.
Net interest margin increased 7 bps to 3.25%. The margin continued to benefit from deposit spread widening, as well as from the deconsolidation of conduits and the effect of the trading-related net interest income previously mentioned. These benefits more than offset compressed spreads on securities, lower derivatives income and the effect of growth in commercial loans. Net interest margin declined 12 bps from 4Q04, as the benefits mentioned above were more than offset by compressed spreads on securities, growth in loans at lower spreads, and lower income from derivatives.
In order to maintain our targeted interest rate risk profile, derivative positions are used to hedge the repricing risk inherent in balance sheet positions. The contribution of hedge-related derivatives, primarily on fixed rate liabilities and floating rate loans, offsets effects on income from balance sheet positions. In 4Q05, net hedge-related derivative income contributed 6 bps to the net interest margin vs. 8 bps in 3Q05 and 21 bps in 4Q04.
Average trading assets increased 2% and declined 6% from 4Q04. Average securities were up 1% linked quarter and were reduced by an average $2.7 billion related to the deconsolidation of conduits. Securities grew $11.7 billion from 4Q04 reflecting the addition of SouthTrust.Average securities increased 7%, or $7.8 billion, from Combined 4Q04.
Average loans rose 4% and 21% from 4Q04. On a Combined basis, average loans rose 14%, or 6% excluding loan sales, purchases and transfers.Average commercial loans were up 4%, with growth in large corporate and middle-market commercial, and grew 19% from 4Q04. On a Combined basis, average commercial loans were up 10% on large corporate and middle-market commercial growth.Average consumer loans increased 3%, and also grew 3% excluding net loan sales and activity in the investment mortgage portfolio. Linked quarter averages were affected by the sale of a net average $694 million of consumer loans. Additionally, net mortgage purchases of an average $2.1 billion offset runoff of an average $1.1 billion in the investment mortgage portfolio. Consumer loans grew 24% from 4Q04. On a Combined basis, average consumer loans rose $15.6 billion driven by the 4Q04 transfer of $9.2 billion in prime equity lines from loans held for sale. In 4Q05, we transferred $12.5 billion in home equity lines from held for sale to loans which had no effect on averages.Average loans held for sale increased $1.1 billion, reflecting commercial warehouse activity and the 3Q05 transfer of $562 million of loans into the portfolio from held for sale. Additionally, we originated $6.4 billion of mortgages and delivered $3.5 billion to agencies/privates in 4Q05.
Average other earning assets declined 8% on lower federal funds sold and a $1.5 billion average effect from the deconsolidation of conduits. Total average earning assets grew $7.9 billion, or 2%, from 3Q05 driven by loan growth, and grew $41.7 billion from 4Q04, primarily due to the SouthTrust merger.Total average earning assets grew $25.1 billion, or 6%, from Combined 4Q04, driven by a $28.5 billion increase in loans.
Average core deposits increased $6.8 billion, or 2%, on $4.3 billion growth in low-cost core deposits, primarily money market and demand deposits, and $2.5 billion growth in consumer CDs. Core deposits rose 10% from 4Q04.On a Combined basis, core deposits rose $17.5 billion, or 6%, of which $9.0 billion represented growth in low-cost core deposits.Average short-term borrowings declined $5.2 billion linked quarter and they rose $1.7 billion from 4Q04 reflecting the SouthTrust mergerand the deconsolidation of conduits. Short-term borrowings were flat on a Combined basis.Average long-term debt was relatively flat, and grew $3.8 billion from 4Q04. On a Combined basis, long-term debt increased $1.5 billion primarily reflecting previous debt issuances.

Fee and Other Income
(See Table on Page 9)
Fee and other income of $3.0 billion decreased $269 million, or 8%, from 3Q05, and increased 7% from 4Q04. The linked quarter decline was driven by trading losses and securities losses. Fees represented 46% of total revenue in 4Q05 and 49% in 3Q05.Fees increased 5% vs. Combined 4Q04.
Service charges were flat linked quarter at $555 million as a seasonal 4% decline in commercial DDA service charges was largely offset by 3% growth in consumer service charges. Service charges rose 7% from 4Q04 driven in part by the addition of SouthTrust. Service charges increased 3% from Combined 4Q04, reflecting higher consumer service charges of 9% partially offset by lower commercial service charges as earnings credit rates paid on commercial compensating DDA balances related to rising short-term rates.
Other banking fees of $400 million were up 4%, primarily related to higher interchange income, commercial mortgage banking servicing income and stronger International Trade Finance income. Growth of 17% from 4Q04 was partially due to the addition of SouthTrust. Compared with Combined 4Q04 results, other banking fees increased 12% on higher interchange income and stronger mortgage banking income.
Commissions of $594 million were down 3% on lower retail brokerage activity, as customers migrate to brokerage managed account relationships, and lower insurance commissions. Commissions decreased 4% from 4Q04. Compared with Combined 4Q04 results, commissions decreased 5% as lower retail brokerage transaction activity from customers migrating to brokerage managed account relationships more than offset the growth in insurance commissions due to the acquisition of Palmer & Cay.
Fiduciary and asset management fees of $769 million increased 5% and were up 10% vs. 4Q04. On a Combined basis, fiduciary and asset management fees grew 10% vs. 4Q04 on strong growth in brokerage managed account assets.
Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees of $325 million increased 11% from the previous record 3Q05, as strong results in loan syndications, structured products and equity originations more than offset declines in M&A and high yield from record 3Q05 results. Results were up 20% from 4Q04 largely on strength in structured products and equity originations.
Trading account losses of $33 million declined $195 million, from a very strong 3Q05, on losses in equities, structured products, investment grade and high yield. 4Q05 results also included losses on economic hedges against non-trading assets (3Q05 results included gains on such hedges) accounting for $35 million of the decline, as well as losses offset by $31 million in increased dividends, primarily from equities trading, which are reflected in net interest income. Trading account losses were up $17 million from 4Q04 losses of $16 million, which reflected losses in structured products, investment grade and equities.
Principal investing recorded net gains of $135 million, down $31 million from a very strong 3Q05, with declines in both the direct portfolio as well as fund results. Net gains were up $128 million vs. 4Q04.
Net securities losses were $74 million in 4Q05. These results reflect $77 million of net losses in the securities portfolio and $3 million in net gains in the Corporate and Investment Bank, and include $19 million in impairment losses, versus 3Q05 net gains of $29 million, including $65 million in impairment losses. In 3Q05, we recorded $23 million of net gains in the securities portfolio and $6 million of net gains in the Corporate and Investment Bank. Net securities gains in 4Q04 were $23 million and included $8 million in impairment losses.
Other income of $318 million decreased $2 million. Mortgage and other consumer loan sale and securitization income of $76 million, which was up from $64 million in 3Q05, included a $24 million gain related to a student loan securitization. Affordable housing write-downs were $32 million in 4Q05 vs. $15 million in 3Q05. Other income decreased $19 million vs. 4Q04. Compared with Combined 4Q04, other income decreased $14 million, largely reflecting a $10 million decrease in securitization income.

Noninterest Expense
(See Table on Page 10)
Total noninterest expense increased 4% on higher legal costs, corporate contributions, and professional and consulting fees, and increased 9% vs. 4Q04 driven by the merger with SouthTrust. 4Q05 included $84 million in identified costs associated with our efficiency initiatives vs. $26 million in 3Q05. Excluding the effect of merger-related and restructuring expenses and other intangible amortization, expenses were up 6%.Compared with Combined 4Q04 results, expenses were up 5%, and excluding the effect of merger-related and restructuring expenses and other intangible amortization, expenses were up 8%, and reflected higher legal costs, professional and consulting fees and corporate contributions.
Salaries and employee benefits expense was relatively flat linked quarter, as non-merger related severance expenses of $73 million were largely offset by lower revenue-based incentive compensation and benefits expense. These expenses increased 10% vs. 4Q04. The year-over-year comparison reflects the addition of SouthTrust. Professional and consulting fees increased 28%, or $46 million, on higher project activity including costs from our efficiency initiatives as well as seasonally higher billings.Sundry expense increased $150 million, reflecting higher legal costs and $58 million in corporate contributions during the quarter. Other intangible amortization of $93 million included $74 million in deposit base intangible amortization and $19 million in other intangible amortization.

Fee and other income of $952 million increased 1% linked quarter and year-over-year as higher recurring fees, including managed account fees, offset lower fees from retail transaction activity. Managed account assets of $107 billion grew 7% linked quarter and 29% from 4Q04.
Noninterest expense increased 2% linked quarter, primarily due to higher legal costs, and was down 2% year-over-year, primarily due to efficiencies achieved from the now-completed retail brokerage integration.
Retail Brokerage Transaction
The Retail Brokerage Services sub-segment results shown in the above table include 100% of the results of the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction, which is the combination of Wachovia’s and Prudential Financial’s retail brokerage operations. The entity is a consolidated subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation for GAAP purposes. Wachovia Corporation owns 62% of Wachovia Securities retail brokerage and Prudential Financial, Inc. owns 38%. Prudential Financial’s minority interest is included in minority interest reported in the Parent (see page 34) and in Wachovia Corporation’s consolidated statements of income on a GAAP basis, which differs from our segment reporting as noted on pages 6 and 19. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, Prudential Financial’s pre-tax minority interest on a GAAP basis was $67 million.
The Retail Brokerage Services sub-segment results reported in the above table also include our Insurance Services business, as well as additional corporate allocations that are not included in the Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings results.

Fee and other income rose 2% linked quarter on growth in mutual fund and securities lending assets. Fee and other income increased 1% from 4Q04, as growth in equity assets under management was partially offset by the effect of lower money market assets.
Noninterest expense increased $23 million, or 13%, and 10% vs. 4Q04, primarily related to severance associated with redesigning asset management services provided to Wealth Management. Expenses also increased due to distribution costs from a 4Q05 closed-end fund offering and higher corporate contributions.

Total assets under management declined $3 billion, or 1%, as the effect of equity and money market fund inflows and higher equity valuations was more than offset by seasonal institutional outflows in fixed income. Note that 4Q05 includes $24 billion sourced through the Corporate and Institutional Trust businesses, which have been divested. These assets currently continue to be managed by Capital Management.
Capital Management Eliminations
In addition to the above sub-segments, Capital Management results include eliminations among business units. Certain brokerage commissions earned on mutual fund sales by our brokerage sales force are eliminated and deferred in the consolidation of Capital Management reported results. In 4Q05, brokerage revenue and expense eliminations were a reduction of $3 million and $5 million, respectively.

Net interest income declined 1% as a decline in asset-based lending deposits was only partially offset by large corporate loan growth. Average loans and leases were up 2% from 3Q05 and increased 11% from 4Q04 driven by growth in large corporate lending.
Fee and other income decreased $3 million, or 3%, driven by a decline in leasing income from a strong 3Q05. Compared with 4Q04, fee and other income fell $11 million, driven by lower leasing revenue. There were $4 million in gains on sales of loans and loans held for sale in 4Q05 vs. $3 million in 3Q05 and $1 million in 4Q04.
Provision expense was a recovery of $25 million in the quarter. Gross charge-offs of $10 million were more than offset by $35 million in recoveries.
Noninterest expense decreased 18% and fell 12% vs. 4Q04 reflecting lower incentive-based compensation partially offset by higher severance expense.

Net interest income increased 24%, or $54 million, driven by increased dividends in equities trading and principal investing; declined 3% from 4Q04.
Fee and other income decreased $123 million, or 17%, due to lower trading revenues, principal investing gains, and high yield, M&A and equity private placement results following strong 3Q05 results. Partially offsetting the decline were record loan syndications, strong real estate capital markets and structured products results and record equity originations. Principal investing net gains were $135 million vs. $166 million in 3Q05 and $7 million in 4Q04. Trading losses of $48 million declined $192 million from strong 3Q05 results, driven by losses in equities, partially offset by $31 million in increased dividends (above), as well as losses in structured products, investment grade, and high yield. $35 million of the decline in 4Q05 trading results was due to losses on economic hedges against non-trading assets of $15 million vs. a gain of $20 million on such hedges in 3Q05. Investment Banking total trading revenue was $165 million for the quarter, down $154 million from 3Q05. Net securities gains were $7 million in 4Q05 vs. $7 million in 3Q05 and $8 million in 4Q04. Fee and other income increased $229 million, or 61%, from 4Q04 driven by principal investing gains and strength in structured products, real estate capital markets, equities and loan syndications somewhat offset by lower trading.
Noninterest expense declined 1% as lower revenue-based expenses were partially offset by higher severance expense, and increased 35% from 4Q04 on higher personnel and incentive compensation as well as higher corporate contributions and investments in the business.

Net interest income was up 4% driven by a 13% increase in loans and 6% core deposit growth. Net interest income declined 7% from 4Q04 levels due to core deposit spread compression despite 20% loan growth and 17% core deposit growth.
Fee and other income decreased 1% from 3Q05 which included a gain on the sale of an embassy banking unit; declined 1% from 4Q04.
Provision expense of $12 million in the quarter was driven by one International Trade Finance charge-off.
Noninterest expense increased 1% from 3Q05 largely due to system and severance expenses related to the acquisition of the international banking business of Union Bank of California.
The Treasury Services business is managed in the Corporate and Investment Bank. Product revenues and earnings are also realized in other business lines within the company, including the General Bank and Wealth Management. Total treasury services product revenues for the company were $618 million in 4Q05 vs. $600 million in 3Q05 and $616 million in 4Q04.

Net interest income declined $29 million from 3Q05 and $24 million from 4Q04. Results reflect the liability sensitive nature of our securities portfolio and wholesale funding operations, which serve to hedge our asset sensitive core business activities. The benefits to the Parent of wider funds transfer pricing spreads (see page 19 for description) was offset by compression of spreads in the funding of the investment portfolio as well as lower contributions from hedge-related derivatives.Compared with Combined 4Q04, net interest income decreased $41 million.
Fee and other income decreased $141 million from 3Q05 and decreased $165 million vs. 4Q04. Compared with 3Q05, net securities losses were $77 million vs. gains of $21 million. 3Q05 included $6 million of gains associated with equity collars on our stock. 4Q05 included eliminations of $25 million of fees related to underwriting and structuring provided by the Corporate and Investment Bank for company-related activities, compared with $22 million in 3Q05. Additionally, affordable housing tax credit eliminations were up $43 million. (Affordable housing results are recorded in Corporate and Investment Bank fee and other income net of the related tax benefit; this tax benefit is eliminated for consolidated reporting purposes in Parent fee and other income.) These negative variances were partially offset by growth in securitization income to $34 million, up from a net $17 million in 3Q05, and income from corporate investments, which increased $12 million. 4Q05 securitization income included eliminations of $12 million related to underwriting and structuring fees credited to the Corporate and Investment Bank.
The primary reasons for the reduction in fee income from 4Q04 were an $89 million decrease in net securities gains, $28 million in 4Q04 gains associated with equity collars, $21 million in higher affordable housing tax credit eliminations and $10 million in lower asset securitization income.On a Combined basis, fee and other income decreased $159 million from 4Q04.
Noninterest expense increased $87 million linked quarter and $76 million vs. 4Q04, primarily due to higher legal costs and the addition of SouthTrust.On a Combined basis, noninterest expense increased $46 million from Combined 4Q04, primarily due to higher legal costs.

Asset Quality
(See Table on Page 16)
Net charge-offs in the loan portfolio of $51 million decreased $8 million from 3Q05 and declined $64 million from 4Q04. As a percentage of average net loans, annualized net charge-offs were 0.09% in 4Q05, compared with 0.10% in 3Q05 and 0.23% in 4Q04. Gross charge-offs of $129 million represented 0.22% of average loans and were offset by $78 million in recoveries.
Provision for credit losses totaled $81 million, including $77 million for loans on balance sheet, and $4 million for unfunded lending commitments. Provision included $5 million related to our decision to sell $316 million of commercial loans. Provision also reflects our decision to retain $12.5 billion in home equity lines, which were transferred from loans held for sale to loans in 4Q05 as well as other loan growth.

Allowance for credit losses was $2.9 billion, up $9 million from 3Q05, reflecting continued strong credit quality and the sale of $316 million of commercial loans which included $16 million of associated allowance. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans of 1.05% and allowance for credit losses of 1.11% decreased 8 bps and 9 bps, respectively, primarily driven by the transfer of $12.5 billion in home equity lines from loans held for sale to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which includes unfunded loans and standby letters of credit, was $158 million. The unallocated portion of the allowance was $135 million in 4Q05 and 3Q05, and $90 million in 4Q04, and reflects in part the impact of 2005 hurricanes, the full effect of which is currently under review.
The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans ratio of 439% was up from 347% in 3Q05 and from 289% in 4Q04.

Merger Integration Update
Estimated Merger Expenses
In connection with the SouthTrust merger, which closed on November 1, 2004, we began recording certain merger-related and restructuring expenses in our income statement. In addition we recorded purchase accounting adjustments to record SouthTrust’s assets and liabilities at their respective fair values as of November 1, 2004, and certain exit costs related to SouthTrust’s businesses, which have the effect of increasing goodwill. These purchase accounting adjustments are final and total $207 million. As of December 31, 2005, net merger-related and restructuring expenses were $268 million, The following table indicates our progress compared with the estimated merger expenses for the SouthTrust merger transaction.

(a) | These adjustments represent incremental costs related to combining the two companies and are specifically attributable to SouthTrust's contributed business. Examples include employee termination costs, employee relocation costs, contract cancellations including leases and closing redundant SouthTrust acquired facilities. These adjustments are reflected in goodwill and are not charges against income. Depending upon the timing of integration actions, certain items projected to be recorded as exit cost purchase accounting adjustments may be recorded as net merger-related and restructuring expenses. |
During the quarter, we recorded one-time costs of $65 million related to the SouthTrust merger for a cumulative total of $475 million.
The total one-time costs for this transaction is the sum of total merger-related and restructuring expenses as reported in the followingMerger-Related and Restructuring Expenses table and Total pre-tax exit cost purchase accounting adjustments (one-time costs) as detailed in theGoodwill and Other Intangiblestable on the following pages.

Merger-Related And Restructuring Expenses
In 4Q05, we recorded $57 million in net merger-related and restructuring expenses related to the SouthTrust integration. This was largely composed of occupancy and equipment charges associated with the closing of certain SouthTrust branches and offices, as well as contract cancellations and system conversions.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of SouthTrust are recorded at their respective fair values as of November 1, 2004, as if they had been purchased in the open market. The purchase accounting adjustments associated with SouthTrust’s assets are now final. The premiums and discounts that resulted from the purchase accounting adjustments to financial instruments are accreted/amortized into income/expense over the estimated term of the respective assets and liabilities, similar to the purchase of a bond at a premium or discount. This results in a market yield in the income statement for those assets and liabilities. Assuming a stable market environment from the date of purchase, we would expect that as these assets and liabilities mature, they could generally be replaced with instruments of similar yields.

Wachovia 4Q05 Quarterly Earnings Report
Explanation of Our Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this quarterly earnings report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those presented on pages 5 and 7 under the captions “Earnings Reconciliation”, and “Other Financial Measures”, with the sub-headings – “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses” – “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, and discontinued operations” and — “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization and discontinued operations”, and which are reconciled to GAAP financial measures on pages 42-45. In addition, in this quarterly earnings report certain designated net interest income amounts are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, including the calculation of the overhead efficiency ratio.
Wachovia believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of the company, its business and performance trends and facilitates comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Specifically, Wachovia believes the exclusion of merger-related and restructuring expenses and discontinued operations permits evaluation and a comparison of results for on-going business operations, and it is on this basis that Wachovia’s management internally assesses the company’s performance. Those non-operating items are excluded from Wachovia’s segment measures used internally to evaluate segment performance in accordance with GAAP because management does not consider them particularly relevant or useful in evaluating the operating performance of our business segments. In addition, because of the significant amount of deposit base intangible amortization, Wachovia believes the exclusion of this expense provides investors with consistent and meaningful comparisons to other financial services firms. Wachovia’s management makes recommendations to its board of directors about dividend payments based on reported earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization, discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, and has communicated certain dividend payout ratio goals to investors on this basis. Management believes this payout ratio is useful to investors because it provides investors with a better understanding of and permits investors to monitor Wachovia’s dividend payout policy. Wachovia also believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry standards. Wachovia operates one of the largest retail brokerage businesses in our industry, and we have presented an overhead efficiency ratio excluding these brokerage services, which management believes is useful to investors in comparing the performance of our banking business with other banking companies.
Although Wachovia believes the above non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures.

Wachovia 4Q05 Quarterly Earnings Report
Cautionary Statement
The foregoing materials and management’s discussion of them may contain, among other things, certain forward-looking statements with respect to Wachovia, as well as the goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business of Wachovia, including, without limitation, (i) statements relating to certain of Wachovia’s goals and expectations with respect to earnings, earnings per share, revenue, expenses, and the growth rate in such items, as well as other measures of economic performance, including statements relating to estimates of credit quality trends, (ii) statements relating to the benefits of the merger between Wachovia Corporation and SouthTrust Corporation, completed November 1, 2004, (the “SouthTrust Merger”), (iii) statements relating to the benefits of the pending acquisition by Wachovia of Westcorp and WFS Financial Inc (the “Westcorp Merger” and together with the SouthTrust Merger, the “Mergers”), (iv) statements with respect to Wachovia’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts, and (v) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “intends”, “plans”, “targets”, “probably”, “potentially”, “projects”, “outlook” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond Wachovia’s control). The following factors, among others, could cause Wachovia’s financial performance to differ materially from the goals, plans, objectives, intentions and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements: (1) the risk that the businesses involved in the Mergers will not be integrated successfully or such integrations may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (2) expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the Mergers may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (3) revenues following the Mergers may be lower than expected; (4) deposit attrition, customer attrition, operating costs, and business disruption following the Mergers, including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, may be greater than expected; (5) enforcement actions by governmental agencies that are not currently anticipated; (6) the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which Wachovia conducts operations may be different than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including the resultant effect on Wachovia’s loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses; (7) the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (8) inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; (9) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets (including changes in interest rate conditions) and the impact of such conditions on Wachovia’s capital markets and capital management activities, including, without limitation, its mergers and acquisition advisory business, equity and debt underwriting activities, private equity investment activities, derivative securities activities, investment and wealth management advisory businesses, and brokerage activities; (10) adverse changes in the financial performance and/or condition of Wachovia’s borrowers which could impact the repayment of such borrowers’ outstanding loans; (11) the impact of changes in accounting principles; and (12) the impact on Wachovia’s businesses, as well as on the risks set forth above, of various domestic or international military or terrorist activities or conflicts. Additional information with respect to factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements is included in the reports filed by Wachovia with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 19, 2006.
Wachovia cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Mergers or other matters and attributable to Wachovia or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Wachovia does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral.

Wachovia 4Q05 Quarterly Earnings Report
Supplemental Illustrative Combined Information
This Quarterly Earnings Report contains certain financial information labeled “Combined” results. The “Combined” information contained in this Quarterly Earnings Report shows certain historical financial data for each of Wachovia and SouthTrust and also shows similar combined illustrative information reflecting the merger of SouthTrust with and into Wachovia. The historical financial data show the financial results actually achieved by Wachovia and SouthTrust for the periods indicated. The “Combined” illustrative information shows the illustrative effect of the merger under the purchase method of accounting assuming the merger was consummated as of the applicable prior period, instead of November 1, 2004, the actual merger consummation date. In the case of the “Combined” illustrative information for the three months ended December 31, 2004, the standalone SouthTrust information represents the period from October 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004. In the case of the “Combined” illustrative information for the full year ended December 31, 2004, the standalone SouthTrust information represents the period from January 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.
The “Combined” illustrative information is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), although both the historical Wachovia and historical SouthTrust financial information presented were respectively prepared in accordance with GAAP. Wachovia believes the “Combined” illustrative information is useful to investors in understanding how the financial information of Wachovia and SouthTrust may have appeared on a combined basis had the two companies actually been merged as of the dates indicated and how the financial information of the business segments and certain sub-segments of the new combined company may have appeared had the two companies actually been merged as of the dates indicated.
The “Combined” illustrative information includes estimated adjustments to record certain assets and liabilities of SouthTrust at their respective fair values and to record certain exit costs related to SouthTrust. The estimated adjustments are subject to updates as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Certain other assets and liabilities of SouthTrust will also be subject to adjustment to their respective fair values, including additional intangible assets which may be identified. No estimated adjustments are included for these assets and liabilities. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of SouthTrust will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. In addition, the final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited estimated adjustments presented. The “Combined” illustrative information cannot be reconciled to GAAP because many of the purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the merger are based upon valuations of assets as of the merger date and therefore cannot be ascertained for prior periods.
We anticipate that the merger will provide Wachovia with financial benefits that include increased revenue and reduced operating expenses, but these financial benefits are not reflected in the “Combined” illustrative information. Accordingly, the “Combined” illustrative information does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the periods presented.
The costs associated with merger integration activities that impact certain SouthTrust systems, facilities and equipment, personnel and contractual arrangements were recorded as purchase accounting adjustments when the appropriate plans were implemented. Exit cost purchase accounting adjustments were $207 million pre-tax ($130 million after-tax). The costs associated with integrating systems and operations were recorded as merger-related expenses based on the nature and timing of the related expenses, but generally have been recorded as the expenses were incurred. Restructuring charges have been recorded based on the nature and timing of the expenses and generally have included merger integration activities that impact Wachovia systems, facilities and equipment, personnel and contractual arrangements. We currently expect merger-related and restructuring expenses will amount to $333 million pre-tax ($210 million after-tax) and will be incurred and reported through 2006.
The information herein is based on historical financial information and related notes that Wachovia and SouthTrust have respectively presented in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders are encouraged to review that historical financial information and related notes in connection with the “Combined” illustrative information.
See also Wachovia’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 19, 2006.
