CAPITAL ONE REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
FALLS CHURCH, VA., (April 15, 1999) --- Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:
COF) today announced record first quarter 1999 earnings of $82.4 million, or
$1.18 per share, versus earnings of $72.7 million, or $1.04 per share, for the
fourth quarter of 1998 and $65.7 million, or $.96 per share, for the comparable
period in the prior year.
"Capital One enjoyed another quarter of record earnings, fueled by record
revenues and exceptional credit quality," said Richard D. Fairbank, Capital
One's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "And we continued our rapid growth
trajectory, growing by more than one million customers for the third consecutive
quarter."
The managed net charge-off rate decreased significantly to 3.93 percent
for the first quarter of 1999 versus 4.51 percent for the fourth quarter of 1998
and 6.04 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The managed
delinquency rate (30+ days) decreased to 4.56 percent as of March 31, 1999,
compared with 4.70 percent as of December 31, 1998.
"Our charge-off rate has declined for the sixth straight quarter and is
the lowest among industry leaders, as well as the lowest we've seen in three
years," said Nigel W. Morris, Capital One's President and Chief Operating
Officer. "Our improving credit picture helped to boost our risk adjusted margin
to a record 14.42 percent."
The managed net interest margin increased to a record 10.59 percent in the
first quarter of 1999 versus 9.48 percent in the fourth quarter of 1998 and
10.40 percent in the same period of 1998. The increased margin, higher
non-interest income, and the aforementioned decrease in net charge-offs each
contributed to the risk adjusted margin of 14.42 percent, which compares to
12.21 percent for the fourth quarter of 1998.

CAPITAL ONE REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
PAGE 2
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company added 1.3 million net new
accounts, bringing total accounts to 18.0 million. First quarter 1999 revenue,
defined as managed net interest income and non-interest income, rose to $873
million versus $771 million in the fourth quarter of 1998 and $637 million for
the comparable period in the prior year. For the quarter, Capital One's managed
consumer loan balances increased by $49 million to $17.4 billion. This modest
increase compares favorably to the typical first quarter decline that results
after repricings and seasonal paydown.
Marketing expense for the first quarter of 1999 increased to a record $176
million versus $159 million in the fourth quarter of 1998 and $75 million in the
comparable period of the prior year. Other non-interest expenses (excluding
marketing) for the first quarter of 1999 were $374 million versus $309 million
for the fourth quarter of 1998 and $214 million in the comparable period of the
prior year. Operating expenses continue to reflect increased investment in staff
levels associated with the Company's growing account base and the impact of
expansion and diversification into new businesses and markets.
The allowance for loan losses increased by $20 million during the first
quarter to $251 million or 3.46 percent of on-balance sheet receivables as of
March 31, 1999, compared to 3.75 percent as of December 31, 1998. Capital ratios
were strong as of March 31, 1999, at 13.96 percent of reported assets and 6.98
percent of managed assets.
Headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, Capital One Financial Corporation
(www.capitalone.com) is a holding company whose principal subsidiaries, Capital
One Bank and Capital One, F.S.B., offer consumer lending products. Capital One's
subsidiaries collectively had 18.0 million customers and $17.4 billion in
managed loans outstanding as of March 31, 1999, and are among the largest
providers of MasterCard and Visa credit cards in the world. Capital One trades
on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "COF" and is included in the S&P
500 Index. Capital One was recently ranked #41 in Fortune's list of "Best
Companies to Work For" and #15 best performer in Business Week's rating of the
S&P 500.
