(NYSE: DLJ) said today that its net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 and for the full year were the strongest-ever in the firm's forty-year history. Fourth quarter net income was a record $191.2 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, nearly tripling the $68.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, reported for the comparable quarter of 1998. For the full year, DLJ earned a record $600.7 million, or $4.18 per diluted share, 62 percent more than the $370.8 million, or $2.65 per diluted share, reported for 1998. Return on average equity for the fourth quarter of 1999 increased to 21.9 percent. For the full year, return on average equity was 19.1 percent. At December 31, 1999, book value per common share was $27.46, or 34 percent greater than at the end of 1998. FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS DLJ's total revenues for the fourth quarter of 1999 increased 66 percent to a record $2.1 billion, as the firm posted record levels of commissions and fee income that complimented strong gains in dealer and trading revenues and underwriting income. Fee income increased 81 percent, commissions rose 57 percent and underwriting income was 20 percent higher than during the fourth quarter a year ago. Net revenues, or total revenues minus interest expense, rose 73 percent to a record $1.7 billion. FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS: STRONG GAINS IN M&A, HIGH-YIELD AND IPOS DLJ's total revenues for 1999 rose 32 percent to a record $7.1 billion, and net revenues rose 41 percent to $5.6 billion, as the firm significantly expanded its market share in major components of its investment banking businesses. DLJ's market share in mergers and acquisitions increased dramatically. The firm's share of completed merger and acquisition assignments rose from 4.9 percent to 13.9 percent to rank the firm sixth on a global basis. As measured by completed U.S. assignments, the firm's market share increased from 7.2 percent to 19.5 percent to rank DLJ in fourth place. Consequently, fee income earned by DLJ's global Mergers & Acquisitions Group increased 79 percent from 1998's then-record levels to a record $883 million in 1999. For the seventh year in a row, DLJ was the number-one-ranked underwriter of high-yield bonds. Most importantly, despite an industrywide slowdown in high-yield new issuance, DLJ increased its market share as a lead underwriter. In 1999, DLJ was the lead manager of $17.5 billion of high-yield bonds and accounted for 18.3 percent of the dollar volume of all new issues, up from 15.4 percent in 1998. As a lead manager of initial public offerings, DLJ rose from eighth place in 1998 to fifth in 1999, increasing its market share by 70 percent from 3.3 percent in 1998 to 5.6 percent in 1999. Commissions increased 41 percent to a record $1.2 billion in 1999, reflecting the strength of the firm's global institutional equities businesses as well as the cumulative impact of its Pershing correspondent clearing business, along with its 425-broker high-net-worth group and its online broker, DLJdirect. DLJ's 30-year-old-venture capital unit, the Sprout Group, accounted for the majority of the year's investment gains. Sprout's investment record, particularly in the technology and internet-related sectors, generated record portfolio gains and distributions in 1999. In a joint statement, Joe L. Roby, Chief Executive Officer of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc., and John S. Chalsty, DLJ's Chairman, said, "DLJ developed tremendous momentum in 1999. While favorable market conditions helped the securities industry overall, DLJ achieved significant market share gains and record profits that underscore 2 the inherent balance of our business mix. We finished the year with outstanding fourth quarter results that propelled DLJ to its strongest year ever. Virtually all of our businesses enjoyed record results in 1999." They noted, "Our international businesses also continued to grow in 1999. Net revenues from DLJ's international activities doubled to a record $782.2 million this year. We opened new offices in Germany, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea during the year, and the number of DLJers employed outside of the United States increased from 1,400 to 1,700."

AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED) (in thousands, except per share data and financial ratios) (1) DLJdirect Common Stock tracks the separate performance of the Company's existing online discount brokerage and related investment services business ("Tracking Stock"). Prior to issuing DLJdirect Common Stock, the Company's existing Common Stock was designated as DLJ Common Stock and reflects the performance of the Company's primary businesses, i.e., Banking, Fixed Income, Equities and Financial Services, plus a 100% interest in DLJdirect. These operations are referred to as DLJ. On May 28, 1999, ("the closing date"), the Company issued in an initial public offering, 18.4 million shares of DLJdirect Common Stock. The shares of DLJdirect Common Stock have no voting rights, except in certain limited circumstances. Earnings applicable to common shares for DLJ includes a 100% retained interest in DLJdirect for periods prior to the closing date and 82.1% for subsequent periods. Quarterly results reported by DLJ prior to the closing date were not affected by the issuance of the tracking stock. (2) Earnings per common share amounts for periods after the closing date have been calculated using the two class method. The two class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines the earnings per share for each class of common stock according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. For DLJ, basic earnings per common share represents earnings applicable to common shares (including its retained interest in DLJdirect) divided by the weighted average actual common shares outstanding, i.e., excluding the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effects of the Restricted Stock Unit Plan and the dilutive effect of options calculated under the treasury stock method. For DLJdirect, basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing earnings applicable to common shares for the period the tracking stock was outstanding (May 28, 1999 to December 31, 1999) by the weighted average actual common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of options calculated under the treasury stock method. DLJ's retained interest excludes the effect of the 10 million shares of common stock that have been reserved for issuance under the DLJdirect Stock Option Plan. Earnings per share for DLJdirect for periods prior to the closing date are not presented as such amounts are not meaningful. (3) Interest-net is net of interest expense to finance U.S. Government, agency and mortgage-backed securities of $964.6 million, $702.3 million, $3,249.6 million and $3,045.3 million, respectively. (4) During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company issued an aggregate of $600.0 million medium-term notes with various maturity dates through 2001. (5) Long-term borrowings and total capitalization (the sum of long-term borrowings, preferred stock, and stockholders' equity) exclude current maturities (one year or less) of long-term borrowings. (6) Return on average common stockholders' equity is calculated on an annualized basis for periods of less than one full year using a monthly average and is based on earnings applicable to common shares. 7 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: INVESTOR CONTACT: Linda Finnerty Kevin Zuccala DLJdirect Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette 201-308-3187 212-892-4693 DLJDIRECT 1999 FULL YEAR REVENUES DOUBLE TO $238.1 MILLION, FULL YEAR EARNINGS INCREASE FIVEFOLD TO $6.9 MILLION -- GLOBAL CLIENT ASSETS GROW BY $12.8 BILLION TO $21.7 BILLION -- NEW YORK, NY - JANUARY 19, 2000 - Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc.

Blake Darcy, Chief Executive Officer of DLJdirect, noted that 1999 established new records in every aspect of its business.

He emphasized that DLJdirect significantly enhanced its product offerings, launched its international business, dramatically increased brand awareness and, from a net earnings perspective, produced its second-best year ever. "We accomplished so much while still maintaining our Number One ratings for service and reliability," he said. "The momentum continues into the new millennium. We will be adding another 17,000 accounts with $2.0 billion of assets in February 2000 when DLJdirect assumes broker-dealer responsibility for Scudder Investments' brokerage clients as a result of the strategic alliance that we announced in December." DLJdirect set new records for the fourth quarter of 1999. Quarterly net revenues more than doubled to a record $76.3 million, compared to $35.4 million reported for the comparable period one year ago, and $54.9 million reported for the third quarter of 1999. DLJdirect reported a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.02 per share (diluted), for the quarter ended December 31, 1999.

INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION "There is also great news on the international scene, where we commenced operations in Japan in June and in the UK in September," said Mr. Darcy, indicating that DLJdirect added 29,000 new accounts in Japan and 14,000 in the UK during 1999. DLJdirect already ranks among the top online brokers in both markets and was rated the best online broker in Japan by Kabuko, a Japanese Web site that ranks online brokerages and other service providers. "We've only just begun. Plans for 2000 include operations in Hong Kong, Germany, and the Middle East," added Mr. Darcy.

In addition, 40,000 net new active accounts were added compared to 13,000 for the fourth quarter of 1998, and 30,000 for the third quarter of 1999. Customer assets grew by a record $7.4 billion in the fourth quarter to $21.7 billion 2 or 52 percent higher than the third quarter of 1999.

December was a particularly strong month with average daily trades reaching 38,000. "Investors continue to embrace online investing," Mr. Darcy said, "and DLJdirect continues to attract the sophisticated, high-net-worth self-directed investor. Evidence of this can be seen in the continued rise in average customer assets per active account, which increased to $63,000, up from $42,000 at the end of 1998."
