WACHOVIA REPORTS 2/nd/ Quarter 2002 EARNINGS/Page 2

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Wachovia Corp. (NYSE:WB) today reported second quarter 2002
net income available to common stockholders of $862 million, or 63 cents per
share; operating earnings of $957 million, or 69 cents per share; and cash
operating earnings of $1.1 billion, or 77 cents per share. Operating earnings
exclude $89 million, or 6 cents per share, of after-tax net merger-related and
restructuring charges. Cash operating earnings exclude deposit base intangible,
goodwill and other intangible amortization as well as the net merger-related and
restructuring charges.

"This was another solid quarter for our company, which reflects the hard work
and dedication of our people in serving customers in a difficult economic
environment. We're particularly proud of the 13/th/ consecutive quarter of
improved customer satisfaction ratings, even as we successfully completed the
conversions of brokerage, personal trust, mutual fund and other systems that
directly touch our customers," said Ken Thompson, Wachovia president and CEO.
"While many employees have been busy learning new policies, products and
procedures, we've continued to see outstanding growth in core deposits and, at
the same time, record sales of investment products. And we've made excellent
progress in building capital and controlling expenses. This is a real tribute to
our people and, we believe, to our momentum for the future."

Total revenue increased 3 percent from the first quarter of 2002, to $4.6
billion, reflecting an improved margin in the continuing low interest rate
environment, lower write-downs in principal investing and higher net securities
gains used to offset the impact of credit actions.

The General Bank includes retail, small business and commercial customers.
General Bank financial results showed outstanding momentum, with a 4 percent
increase in revenue from the first quarter of 2002, and strong growth in core
deposits, consumer loan production and record investment sales through the
branch system. Average core deposits increased 3 percent from the first quarter
of 2002, and the increase in average low-cost core deposits was particularly
strong at 6 percent from the prior quarter. Good average loan growth of 3
percent from the first quarter of 2002 reflected strength in consumer real
estate-secured products and student lending. Investment production of $1.3
billion was led by $910 million in annuity sales. While strong cost control
efforts continued, expenses grew modestly due to the consolidation of Wachovia's
home equity and mortgage origination platforms, as well as increased variable
incentive expense due to strong sales production.

The Capital Management Group (CMG) includes asset management and retail
brokerage services. These businesses produced stable revenues quarter over
quarter as good sales production through multiple distribution channels offset
declining equity valuations in difficult markets. Tight expense control was
evident. CMG generated 11 percent growth in annuity sales to $1.5 billion
(including bank annuity sales of $910 million) and net mutual fund sales of $5.7
billion. Assets under management at June 30, 2002, were stable from March 31,
2002, at $230 billion, despite lower market valuations. Included in assets under
management are mutual fund assets, which increased 3 percent from March 31,
2002, to $109 billion.

Wealth Management, which includes private banking, personal trust, investment
advisory services, charitable services, financial planning and insurance
brokerage, generated revenue growth of 3 percent from the first quarter of 2002.
Good loan volume, along with stable spreads, contributed to higher net interest
income, while strong momentum in insurance brokerage drove an increase in fee
income. Expenses declined 1 percent from the first quarter of 2002. Wealth
Management assets under management (included in the Capital Management Group
total) declined nearly $4 billion from March 31, 2002, to $72 billion at June
30, 2002, due to lower equity market valuations, although net flows were
positive.

Corporate and Investment Bank revenue declined only 1 percent despite weak
market conditions that dampened its advisory businesses and fixed income trading
results, partially offset by improved performance in loan syndications and lower
principal investing write-downs. The increased provision was driven by net
charge-offs of $225 million related to Argentina and to the telecommunications
sector. Average loans declined 4 percent due to continued portfolio management
actions and weak loan demand.

Asset Quality

Second quarter 2002 net charge-offs of $374 million, or 0.97 percent of average
net loans, included the $225 million related to continued deterioration in
Argentine credits and the telecommunications sector. The provision of $397
million included $23 million related to write-downs recorded on sales directly
out of the loan portfolio. Total nonperforming assets including loans held for
sale were $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2002, an increase of 1 percent
from March 31, 2002. The Argentine-related and telecommunications sector loans
represented 31 percent of new commercial nonaccrual loans before write-downs.

 (a) These ratios do not include nonperforming loans included in loans held for
sale.
 (b) Annualized.
 (c) Restructured loans are insignificant.
 (d) These ratios reflect nonperforming loans included in loans held for sale.
Loans held for sale, which are included in other assets, are recorded at the
lower of cost or market value, and accordingly, the amount shown and included in
the ratios is net of the transferred allowance for loan losses and the lower of
cost or market value adjustments.
