Finneran, Jr. Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary EXHIBIT INDEX 99.1 Press Release of the Company dated October 14, 1999. Exhibit 99.1 [LOGO OF CAPITAL ONE APPEARS HERE] NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Paul Paquin Sam Wang - --------------------- V.P., Investor Relations Dir., Media Relations October 14, 1999 (703) 205-1039 (703) 289-6809 Capital One Reports Record Third Quarter Earnings Falls Church, Va., (October 14, 1999) --- Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) today announced record third quarter 1999 earnings of $95.4 million, or $.45 per share, versus earnings of $70.0 million, or $.33 per share, for the comparable period in the prior year, a 36 percent increase. All earnings per share amounts reflect the Company's three-for-one stock split distributed on June 1, 1999. "We're extremely proud of another record quarter that demonstrates the outstanding earnings power of our Information-Based Strategy," said Richard D. Fairbank, Capital One's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This is the second-largest quarter of account growth in our history and it puts us over the 20 million customer mark." During the third quarter of 1999, the Company added 1.6 million net new accounts, bringing total accounts to 20.8 million. Third quarter revenue, defined as managed net interest income and non-interest income, increased to $999 million versus $927 million in the second quarter of 1999, and $705 million for the comparable period in the prior year. For the quarter, Capital One's managed consumer loan balances increased by $657 million to $18.5 billion. The managed net interest margin was 11.18 percent in the third quarter of 1999, an increase from 10.89 percent in the second quarter of 1999, and 10.15 percent in the comparable period of the prior year. The increased margin and higher non-interest income contributed to the increase in risk adjusted margin to 16.09 percent, compared to 15.50 percent for the second quarter of 1999 and 11.68 percent for the comparable period of the prior year. The managed delinquency rate (30+ days) increased to 5.06 percent as of September 30, 1999, compared with 4.72 percent as of June 30, 1999. The managed net charge-off rate increased to 3.88 percent for the third quarter of 1999 compared with 3.73 percent in the second quarter of 1999. "Our extraordinary growth is fueled by our robust investment in marketing," said Nigel W. Morris, Capital One's President and Chief Operating Officer. "Thanks to our surgically targeted marketing approach and our conservative approach to lending, we continue to reap the benefits of the best charge-off rate in the industry." Marketing investment decreased slightly in the third quarter of 1999 to $175 million versus $178 million in the second quarter of 1999, and $126 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Other non-interest expenses (excluding marketing) for the third quarter of 1999 were $456 million versus $430 million for the second quarter of 1999, and $257 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. The allowance for loan losses increased $40 million during the third quarter of 1999 to $306 million or 3.69 percent of on-balance sheet receivables as of September 30, 1999, compared to 3.58 percent as of June 30, 1999. Capital ratios remained strong as of September 30, 1999 at 13.50 percent of reported assets and 7.12 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.
