                 COUNTRYWIDE REPORTS 2004 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
  - QUARTERLY EPS OF $0.94 REPRESENTS FOURTH-BEST QUARTER IN COMPANY HISTORY -
                    - BOARD DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND OF $0.12 -

CALABASAS, CA (October 20, 2004) -- Countrywide Financial Corporation (NYSE:
CFC), a diversified financial services provider, today announced results for the
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Third quarter highlights
include the following:

    -   Consolidated net earnings were $582 million, which compares to net
        earnings of $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2003, the most
        successful quarter in the Company's history.

    -   Earnings per diluted share were $0.94, which was the Company's fourth
        highest quarter on record, and compares to last year's earnings per
        share of $1.93, which was the Company's highest quarter on record.

    -   Pre-tax earnings in the Mortgage Banking segment were $633 million,
        which compares to $1.5 billion for last year's record-setting third
        quarter.

    -   Pre-tax earnings from Diversified Businesses rose 13 percent over last
        year to $291 million, fueled by the continued growth of the Banking
        segment, which nearly doubled its earnings over the previous year.

    -   Annualized return on average equity was 24 percent, which compares to 63
        percent for the third quarter of 2003.

    -   Total loan production volume was $92 billion for the quarter, down 27
        percent from the comparable quarter last year as a result of a 55
        percent decline in refinance volume.

    -   Partially offsetting the decline in refinance volume, purchase fundings
        rose 35 percent from the third quarter of 2003 to $52 billion, a
        reflection of the Company's strategic focus on increasing purchase
        market share.

    -   The servicing portfolio rose to a record $786 billion, up $141 billion
        from the beginning of the year.




Nine month highlights include the following:

    -   Consolidated net earnings were $2.0 billion, advancing 9 percent over
        last year's nine month net earnings of $1.8 billion.

    -   Earnings per diluted share were $3.19, which compares to $3.26 for the
        first nine months of 2003.

    -   Pre-tax earnings in the Mortgage Banking segment were $2.3 billion, a
        gain of 2 percent over last year's nine month pre-tax earnings.

    -   Pre-tax earnings from Diversified Businesses reached $879 million, a
        gain of 36 percent over last year. This was driven by the Banking
        segment, where earnings increased by 99 percent over last year on the
        strength of a doubling of Bank assets.

    -   Total loan production volume was $268 billion for the nine months, a 25
        percent reduction from the comparable year ago period. This
        year-over-year decline is attributable to the 48 percent decrease in
        refinance volume over the same period.

    -   Purchase fundings for the first nine months, which offset some of the
        refinance decline, advanced 36 percent to $130 billion and matched the
        purchase volume achieved for all of 2003.

"In a quarter characterized by significant interest rate movements, Countrywide
delivered one of its best quarters ever," said Angelo R. Mozilo, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, the Fed raised interest rates by
50 basis points, yet the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield decreased by 48 basis
points. Countrywide's financial results for the quarter -- highlighted by
diluted earnings per share of $0.94 -- once again demonstrate the strength and
resilience of our business model. On a year-over-year basis, third quarter
earnings are difficult to compare given the record refinance volume and the
convergence of other favorable events experienced during last year's third
quarter, which generated by far the best financial results in the Company's
history.

"As expected, Mortgage Banking earnings declined as refinance volumes
retreated," Mozilo continued. "In line with a reduction in volume and a loan
production mix shift to lower-margin adjustable rate product, overall production
margins declined 43 basis points from last year and 12 basis points from the
second quarter of 2004 to 82 basis points. Additionally, expenses in the
Mortgage Banking segment increased during the quarter as we pursued our purchase
market strategy which includes a branding campaign, compensation incentives tied
to increases in purchase and home equity volume, and salesforce expansion.


                                                                               2


"In the Loan Servicing sector, the portfolio continued to advance, increasing
$60 billion during the quarter. As interest rates declined during the quarter,
impairment of the MSR asset and other retained interests of $796 million was
recorded, partially offset by a gain in the MSR hedge position of $591 million.
MSR amortization expense was $394 million as determined at the beginning of the
quarter based on prevailing interest rates. These factors combined to produce a
pre-tax loss of $23 million in the Loan Servicing sector. This compares to
pre-tax earnings of $25 million recorded in the second quarter of 2004 and $74
million for the third quarter of 2003. The capitalization rate on the MSR
portfolio declined 12 basis points to 114 basis points during the quarter,
reflecting the declining interest rates during the quarter.

"During the quarter, total pre-tax earnings from Diversified Businesses
increased 9 percent on a sequential basis to $291 million, highlighted by a $163
million pre-tax contribution from our Banking segment. The Capital Markets and
Global segments also showed sequential quarter growth. During the third quarter
of 2004, there was a $23 million charge related to hurricane losses in the
Insurance segment.

"Overall, the Company produced strong results in the third quarter," Mozilo
concluded. "Our fourth quarter outlook reflects continued production margin
pressure as well as higher amortization resulting from the low interest rate
environment at September 30. Our revised 2004 guidance is $3.75 to $4.00 per
diluted share. Key assumptions include the 10-year Treasury yield at year-end
falling within a range of 4.0 percent to 4.5 percent. In accordance with our
goal to improve the Company's dividend yield, the Board approved another
dividend increase, raising the dividend from last quarter's $0.10 per share to
this quarter's $0.12 per share, up 20 percent. The payable date on the dividend
will be November 30, 2004 to stockholders of record on November 10, 2004."

The Company plans to provide 2005 earnings guidance via a press release on
November 3, 2004. In addition, the Company plans to host an Investor Forum on
November 3, 2004 at its Calabasas headquarters, at which time it will discuss
2005 guidance. The Investor Forum will be webcast live over the Internet.

The earnings estimates and assumptions and other projections provided in this
press release should be considered forward-looking statements and readers are
directed to the information contained in the disclaimer provided herein.



                                                                               3



MORTGAGE BANKING

Countrywide's Mortgage Banking segment, which includes Loan Production, Loan
Servicing, and Loan Closing Services, contributed 69 percent of consolidated
pre-tax earnings for the third quarter. Mortgage Banking pre-tax earnings for
the third quarter were $633 million, which compares to $1.5 billion for the
third quarter of 2003. The year-over-year decline is due primarily to a
reduction in refinance volume in the Loan Production sector over the past year
and MSR impairment recovery that occurred during last year's third quarter. The
Loan Production sector is comprised of four distribution channels:
consumer-direct lending through Countrywide Home Loans' 550-branch retail
system, telemarketing operations and the Internet; wholesale lending through a
network of over 30,000 mortgage brokers; correspondent lending which buys loans
from other financial institutions such as independent mortgage companies, banks,
savings and loans, credit unions and insurance companies; and Full Spectrum
Lending, Inc., a consumer-direct specialty lender with 145 branches.

LOAN PRODUCTION

The Loan Production sector generated $633 million in pre-tax earnings for the
third quarter and $2.4 billion for the first nine months of 2004, which compares
to $1.4 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, for the comparable prior year
periods. These declines reflect the industry-wide reduction in refinance volume;
margin compression that has taken place as market volumes have contracted; and a
shift in loan production mix to lower-margin adjustable rate product.

LOAN SERVICING

The Loan Servicing sector reflects the performance of the MSRs associated with
Countrywide's owned-servicing portfolio and other retained interests. Since the
MSRs perform optimally in higher interest rate environments, earnings from these
assets act as a natural counter-balance against Loan Production earnings, which
typically perform best in lower interest rate environments. Generally, in
declining interest rate environments, Loan Production operations provide
substantial incremental earnings to offset the effect of faster amortization and
impairment of MSRs. Countrywide also manages a financial hedge within the Loan
Servicing sector to further mitigate this impairment.

For the third quarter, the Loan Servicing sector recorded a pre-tax loss of $23
million, which compares to $74 million in pre-tax earnings for the third quarter
of 2003. During the current quarter, impairment of MSRs and other retained
interests, net of the servicing hedge gain, was $205 million versus net
impairment recovery of $231 million during the year-ago quarter. Impairment of
MSRs was a result of declining interest rates during the quarter. For the first
nine months of 2004, the Loan Servicing sector sustained net


                                                                               4



impairment of $498 million, which compares to net impairment of $1.2 billion for
the nine months of 2003. The capitalization rate on the MSR portfolio now stands
at 114 basis points, which compares to 109 basis points at September 30, 2003.
The weighted average coupon on the Company's total servicing portfolio stands at
5.9 percent as of September 30, 2004, down from 6.1 percent one year earlier.

LOAN CLOSING SERVICES

Loan Closing Services are offered through Countrywide's LandSafe companies,
which primarily provide credit reports, appraisals and flood determinations. The
LandSafe companies' pre-tax earnings were $23 million in the third quarter,
which compares to $27 million earned during the third quarter last year. For the
first nine months of 2004, pre-tax earnings were $64 million, down from $82
million in the same period a year ago. The decline in pre-tax earnings was a
result of the decline in year-over-year production volume.

DIVERSIFIED BUSINESSES

Diversified Businesses include the operations of Capital Markets, Banking,
Insurance and Global Operations, and accounted for 31 percent of consolidated
pre-tax earnings for the third quarter of 2004. This compares to 15 percent for
the third quarter of 2003. Earnings from Diversified Businesses in the aggregate
grew 13 percent for the third quarter and 36 percent for the nine months from
the year-ago comparable periods to $291 million and $879 million, respectively.

BANKING

The Banking segment includes the activities of Countrywide Bank and Countrywide
Warehouse Lending, a provider of mortgage inventory financing to smaller
mortgage bankers. The Bank is able to leverage Countrywide's resources such as
its superior asset-generating capabilities, servicing-related escrow balances,
locations within the retail mortgage origination network (in which the Bank
places its financial centers), and intellectual capabilities such as risk
management. Countrywide Bank has also in-sourced certain bank-related services,
such as custodial services, that were previously performed for Countrywide by
third party banks. In addition, the Bank holds loans in portfolio, providing the
consolidated company with a growing stream of net interest income. At September
30, 2004, total assets at Countrywide Bank reached $34 billion, compared to $16
billion at September 30, 2003, and were comprised of approximately 10 percent
cash and investments, 89 percent mortgage and home equity loans, and 1 percent
other assets. The Bank contributed 92 percent of the Banking segment's total
pre-tax earnings for the third quarter and 91 percent for the nine months of
2004. Countrywide Warehouse Lending had average loans outstanding of $4.1
billion during the quarter, a decrease of 21 percent from the third quarter of
2003, which was expected given the reduction in industry loan origination
volume. Overall, quarterly pre-tax earnings for


                                                                               5



the Banking segment were $163 million, increasing 93 percent from last year's
$85 million. For the nine months, pre-tax earnings advanced 99 percent over the
prior year period to $388 million. The growth in 2004 third quarter and nine
months pre-tax earnings were primarily the result of an increase in average
earning assets.

CAPITAL MARKETS

The Capital Markets segment includes a securities broker-dealer, a
distressed-asset manager and a commercial real estate finance group. Earnings
performance within this segment is primarily driven by the broker-dealer,
Countrywide Securities Corporation, whose earnings represented 84 percent of
Capital Markets' total pre-tax earnings for the third quarter of 2004. Total
revenues for Capital Markets in the third quarter were $167 million, with
approximately 57 percent from underwriting, 29 percent derived from conduit
activities, and 14 percent from securities trading, brokerage and other
activities. This compares to total revenues of $197 million in the third quarter
of 2003 with approximately 22 percent from underwriting, 46 percent derived from
conduit activities, and 32 percent from securities trading, brokerage and other
activities. In total, pre-tax earnings for the Capital Markets segment were $90
million in the third quarter and $333 million for the nine months. This compares
to $135 million and $346 million, respectively, in the comparable year-ago
periods. This decline is due primarily to the reduction in mortgage securities
trading volume associated with the decrease in mortgage refinance volume; a
reduction in margins earned on the conduit and mortgage securities trading
businesses; and the start-up costs associated with new business lines, in
particular U.S. Treasury trading and Commercial Real Estate Finance.

INSURANCE

Countrywide's Insurance segment includes Balboa Life and Casualty Group, whose
companies are national providers of property, life and casualty insurance, and
Balboa Reinsurance Company, a captive mortgage reinsurance company. For the
third quarter, net premiums earned were $155 million at Balboa Life & Casualty
and $40 million at Balboa Reinsurance, which compares to $160 million and $32
million, respectively, for the comparable year-ago periods. For the nine months,
net premiums earned were $462 million for Balboa Life & Casualty and $116
million for Balboa Reinsurance, up 5 percent and 26 percent, respectively, from
the first nine months of 2003. Pre-tax earnings for the Insurance segment were
$30 million for the third quarter and $130 million for the first nine months of
2004. This compares to $31 million for the third quarter of 2003 and $92 million
for the first nine months of last year. Results for the third quarter 2004 were
negatively impacted by the establishment of a $23 million loss reserve related
to hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne and Ivan that occurred during the third
quarter.

GLOBAL OPERATIONS

The principal component of the Global Operations segment is Global Home Loans,
the Company's U.K. joint venture, organized to process loan originations and
service loans on behalf of third parties. Today, Global Home Loans services over
one million loans in the U.K. with outstanding balances of $110 billion. Other
companies included in the Global Operations segment engage in technology
services and property valuation. Pre-tax earnings for the third quarter advanced
21 percent over last year's third quarter to $9.8 million. For the nine months
of 2004, pre-tax earnings advanced 128 percent over the comparable prior year
period to $31 million.
