For the fourth quarter, net income per share was $0.67, up 12% from $0.60 reported in 2004. Net income was $147.6 million compared with $132.6 million earned in the fourth quarter of last year and resulted in a return on average common equity of 16.38%.

FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP ACQUISITION
On March 31, 2005, Northern Trust closed its acquisition of Baring Asset Management’s Financial Services Group (FSG). The final adjusted purchase price totaled 261.5 million British pounds Sterling. The after-tax impact of this acquisition was neutral to both fourth quarter and full year results.
FOURTH QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
Northern Trust’s fourth quarter consolidated revenues of $692.4 million were up 15% or $89.3 million from last year’s fourth quarter and included $36.4 million, net of acquisition-related funding costs, related to FSG. Adjusting for FSG, revenues increased 9%. The fourth quarter revenue growth reflects record trust, investment and other servicing fees of $403.5 million, up 19% from the fourth quarter of last year. Trust, investment and other servicing fees represented 58% of fourth quarter revenues, and total fee-related income represented 73% of revenues. Net interest income also reached a record level, up 14% from a year ago to $187.3 million.
Trust, investment and other servicing fees from Corporate & Institutional Services (C&IS) in the quarter were up 28% to $220.8 million from the year-ago quarter reflecting revenues from FSG, strong growth in all major products and services, improved equity markets, and new business. The fourth quarter results include $28.6 million of fees from FSG, contributing to a 59% increase in custody and fund administration fees, which totaled $110.4 million for the quarter. Securities lending fees totaled $32.6 million, up 7% compared with last year’s fourth quarter, primarily reflecting higher volumes. Fees from asset management grew 5% to $61.6 million. C&IS assets under custody totaled $2.70 trillion at December 31, 2005, up 15% from a year ago and 3% from September 30, 2005. Assets under custody include $1.24 trillion of global custody assets, an increase of 28% compared with a year ago and 5% sequentially. C&IS assets under management totaled $500.7 billion, an increase of 8% from the prior year and 1% from September 30, 2005.

FOURTH QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS (continued)
Trust, investment and other servicing fees from Personal Financial Services (PFS) in the quarter increased 10% and totaled $182.7 million compared with $165.9 million a year ago. The fourth quarter results include $2.0 million of fees from FSG. The increase in PFS fees resulted primarily from improved equity markets and new business. Revenue growth continued to be broad-based, with all states and the Wealth Management Group reporting year-over-year increases in fees. PFS assets under custody totaled $225.6 billion at December 31, 2005, compared with $219.3 billion at September 30, 2005 and $209.3 billion at December 31, 2004. Of the total PFS assets under custody, $117.2 billion is managed by Northern Trust compared with $113.8 billion at September 30, 2005 and $110.4 billion at December 31, 2004.
Foreign exchange trading profits were $44.0 million, including approximately $4.8 million from FSG, compared with $42.6 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Treasury management fees in the quarter were $15.8 million compared with $20.0 million in the same quarter last year. Approximately 60% of this decrease was offset by improved net interest income as clients opted to pay for services via compensating balances, consistent with historical experience in a higher interest rate environment. Revenues from security commissions and trading income were $12.8 million, up 9% from the prior year. Other operating income was $28.9 million for the fourth quarter compared with $25.3 million in the same period last year. The prior year quarter included a $5.1 million gain resulting from the sale of two non-performing loans. Nonrecurring gains in the current quarter totaled $4.5 million and included the sale of certain real estate and other assets. The increase in other operating income, net of nonrecurring items, primarily resulted from higher custody related deposit revenues and FSG based banking fees.
Net interest income for the quarter, stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled a record $187.3 million, up 14% from $164.7 million reported in the prior year quarter. The increase reflects both net interest margin improvement and an increase in average earning assets. The net interest margin increased to 1.80% from 1.66% in the prior year quarter reflecting an improved funding mix and wider interest rate spreads on retail deposits. Average earning assets of $41.2 billion were 4% higher than a year ago. Securities increased 28% and averaged $10.9 billion, with the increase concentrated primarily in variable rate government

sponsored agency securities. Average loans and leases increased 9% to $19.3 billion, while average money market assets decreased 17% to $10.9 billion. FSG contributed $5.6 million in net interest income in the quarter offset by acquisition-related funding costs totaling $6.3 million.
The reserve for credit losses at December 31, 2005 of $136.0 million was virtually unchanged from the September 30, 2005 balance. There was no provision for credit losses in the current quarter compared with a negative $10.0 million provision in the prior year quarter. Net charge-offs in the quarter totaled $0.1 million compared with $0.8 million in the fourth quarter last year. Nonperforming loans totaled $31.0 million at December 31, 2005, as compared with $34.1 million at September 30, 2005 and $32.9 million at December 31, 2004. The reserve for credit losses of $136.0 million included $10.6 million allocated to loan commitments and other off-balance sheet exposures. The remaining $125.4 million reserve assigned to loans and leases at December 31, 2005 represented a reserve to loan ratio of .63%, compared with .65% at September 30, 2005 and .73% a year ago. Nonperforming loans of $31.0 million at year-end represented .16% of total loans and leases and were covered 4.0 times by the assigned reserve.
Noninterest expenses totaled $456.7 million for the quarter, up 14% from $399.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusting for FSG, noninterest expenses increased by 6%. FSG expenses, including integration expenses, totaled $34.4 million in the fourth quarter, representing 60% of the total increase in noninterest expenses.
Compensation and employee benefit expenses totaled $247.6 million, up $33.1 million or 15% compared with last year, and included $17.3 million from the addition of FSG. Adjusting for FSG, compensation and benefit expenses increased 7%. The current quarter increase was also driven by higher performance-based compensation, annual salary increases, and higher pension and health care costs. The prior year quarter reflected higher performance-based expenses attributable to the employee stock ownership and defined contribution plans. Staff on a full-time equivalent basis at December 31, 2005 totaled approximately 9,000, up 12% from a year ago. Staffing level increases were primarily the result of the addition of approximately 800 FSG staff.

FOURTH QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS (continued)
Other expense categories totaled $209.1 million, up $24.1 million or 13% from $185.0 million last year. The current quarter includes $17.1 million from the addition of FSG. Adjusting for FSG, other expenses increased by 4%. The current quarter increase also reflects higher expenses for consulting services, business promotion and advertising, occupancy, and fees for global subcustody. These increases were partially offset by lower costs associated with operating risks relating to servicing and managing financial assets.
The provision for income taxes totaled $71.3 million, up 7% from the prior year fourth quarter. The current year quarter includes a $3.5 million tax benefit relating to the repatriation of foreign earnings as provided for in The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
BALANCE SHEET
Balance sheet assets averaged $47.5 billion for the quarter, up 7% from last year’s fourth quarter average of $44.3 billion. The securities portfolio averaged $10.9 billion, up 28% from last year, while loans and leases averaged $19.3 billion, up 9%. Money market assets averaged $10.9 billion for the quarter, down 17% from the prior year.
Residential mortgages averaged $8.3 billion in the quarter, up 3% from the prior year’s fourth quarter, and represented 43% of the total average loan and lease portfolio. Commercial and industrial loans averaged $3.5 billion, up 5% from $3.3 billion last year, while personal loans averaged $2.8 billion, unchanged from last year’s fourth quarter.
Common stockholders’ equity averaged a record $3.6 billion, up 10% from last year’s fourth quarter. The increase primarily reflects the retention of earnings offset in part by the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s share buyback program. During the quarter, the Corporation repurchased 926,251 shares at a cost of $48.6 million ($52.50 average price per share). An additional 3.2 million shares are authorized for repurchase after December 31, 2005 under the previously announced share buyback program.

Net income per common share was a record $2.64, 16% higher than the $2.27 reported in 2004. Net income was a record $584.4 million compared with $505.6 million earned last year and resulted in a return on average common equity of 17.01% and a return on average assets of 1.27%.

Trust, investment and other servicing fees from PFS increased 9% and totaled $706.9 million compared with $649.9 million last year.

Foreign exchange trading profits were $180.2 million for the year compared with $158.0 million last year. Treasury management fees were $71.2 million, down 19% from the prior year.

Other operating income was $97.5 million for the period compared with $83.8 million last year. The current year included $9.2 million of nonrecurring gains compared with $5.1 million last year.

FULL-YEAR PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS (continued)
Net interest income, stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled a record $722.3 million, an increase of 17% from the $615.5 million reported in the prior year. The net interest margin increased to 1.79% from 1.66% in the prior year due in large part to wider spreads earned on retail deposits and an improved funding mix. Total average earning assets of $40.5 billion were 9% higher than a year ago. Money market assets were up 3% and averaged $11.8 billion for the period. Average securities increased 21% to $9.9 billion while average loans and leases were up 7% to $18.8 billion.
The provision for credit losses was $2.5 million for the year compared with a negative $15.0 million in 2004. Net charge-offs totaled $5.8 million compared with $2.9 million in 2004.

Compensation and employee benefits of $964.6 million represented 56% of total operating expenses and included $56.8 million from the addition of FSG. The current period expenses also reflect annual salary increases and higher incentive compensation, employment taxes, and retirement and health care costs.
Other expense categories totaled $770.3 million for the period, up 9% from $708.5 million in 2004, and included $49.1 million from the addition of FSG. The remaining increase primarily reflects higher expenses for consulting services, business promotion and advertising, employee relocation and hiring costs, and fees for global subcustody services. Partially offsetting the increase were lower expenses associated with operating risks related to servicing and managing financial assets. The prior period included a $17.0 million litigation settlement in the third quarter of last year and an $11.6 million loss in the first quarter of last year from securities processing activities.
