Exhibit 99.1 Commercial Federal Reports Second Quarter Earnings of $22.7 Million OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2003--Commercial Federal Corporation today announced net income of $0.51 per diluted share or $22.7 million, for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, net income totaled $45.8 million, or $1.02 per diluted share. William A. Fitzgerald, chairman of the board and chief executive officer stated, "Overall, we are pleased with the Company's second quarter results. We have continued to see growth in our key loan and deposit categories, as we manage the challenges presented in the near-term by the low level of interest rates and the accompanying net interest margin compression." "The performance of our core banking units remain on target. Our long-term objectives of expanding our customer base and changing the mix in our balance sheet, adding higher margin loans and core deposits, remain the key to providing additional value for our shareholders." Net income of $22.7 million for the most recent quarter compares to net income of $0.60 per diluted share or $27.5 million for the same period a year ago. Net income of $45.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 compares with $55.5 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. Key Growth Indicators: -- Core deposit balances increased $727 million or 22% year over year -- Commercial operating loans up 31% year over year -- Home equity loans up 3% year over year -- Checking account growth 4% year over year Chief Financial Officer David S. Fisher stated, "The growth in our key benchmarks extend the very positive trends established last year. Growth in core checking and savings deposits has been very strong. Loan growth trends in our commercial operating and consumer portfolios on a year over year basis are positive as well. Record mortgage volumes continued with loan production reaching $3.8 billion in the first-half of 2003, up 87% year over year." "In the second quarter, credit quality improved significantly over the prior quarter, with total nonperforming loans down sharply for the period. Margin and net interest income have continued to contract in the recent quarter due to the absolute level of interest rates and increased prepayment activity on loans and securities. For the remainder of 2003, margin and net interest income trends will depend upon our continued success in growing our loan base and lowering our cost of funds." Results for the Quarter: Net Interest Income Net interest income totaled $71.1 million for the second quarter, down 5% from the first quarter and 12% from the second quarter of 2002. The net interest rate spread for the quarter fell to 2.46%, compared with 2.56% in the prior quarter and 2.82% for the same period last year. The Company's net interest margin continued to compress as the rate on the Company's earning assets declined 25 basis points, while the rate on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities fell by only 15 basis points from the prior quarter ended March 31, 2003. Credit Risk Management Overall credit quality remained strong during the quarter with net loan charge-offs down slightly to $4.4 million, compared with $4.5 million for the previous quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net charge-offs totaled $8.9 million, compared with $10.5 million for the same period ended June 30, 2002. The provision for loan losses declined by a similar amount for the six-month period, from $12.1 million to $11.4 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, total nonperforming assets were $109.9 million, compared with $120.6 million at March 31, 2003. The majority of the decrease in nonperforming assets for the quarter was related to residential loans and a few specific commercial real estate loans. Total NPAs represented 0.85% of total assets at June 30, 2003, compared with 0.90% at March 31, 2003. Noninterest Income The Company's retail banking operations continued to generate strong results in the second quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, retail fees and charges totaled $15.0 million compared with $13.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and $13.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, retail fees and charges totaled $28.5 million, compared with $26.3 million for the same period last year, representing an 8% increase on a year over year basis. The mortgage banking operations includes activities associated with the Company's mortgage servicing and secondary marketing operations. Revenues from these operations are offset by the amortization of and valuation adjustments related to its mortgage servicing rights asset. During the second quarter 2003, the Company recorded a valuation loss on its mortgage servicing rights of $29.8 million, and amortization expense in excess of loan servicing fees of $6.5 million. The Company offset this valuation loss and net amortization expense by recognizing $39.1 million in pre-tax gains on the sales of securities and changes in fair values of hedging instruments. In addition, the gain on the sale of loans for the quarter totaled $8.5 million. Operating Expenses For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, total administrative expenses totaled $71.1 million, compared to $66.6 million for the previous quarter, as commissions and over-time expenses increased to meet the large loan demand. Balance Sheet and Capital Ratios Total assets at June 30, 2003 were $12.9 billion, compared with $13.3 billion and $13.2 billion at March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Core deposit balances, including checking, money market and savings accounts grew by $187 million or 5% for the quarter and 22% over the same period last year. At June 30, 2003, stockholders' equity was $747.6 million after spending $18.9 million in the quarter on the Company's share repurchase program. Stockholders' equity was $758.4 million at March 31, 2003. The capital ratios of the Company's banking subsidiary continued to exceed regulatory requirements for classification as "well-capitalized," the highest regulatory standard. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company repurchased 875,500 shares as part of the five million-share buyback program announced in November 2002. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 a total of 1,339,900 shares have been repurchased under this program. The Company has 3,900,900 shares remaining in its share repurchase authorizations.
