    E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation (NYSE: ET) today announced results
for its third quarter ended September 30, 2006, reporting net income
of $153 million, or $0.35 per share compared to $107 million, or $0.28
per share a year ago. Excluding acquisition-related integration
expenses, the Company earned $0.36 per share(1). Total net revenue for
the third quarter increased 39 percent year over year to $582 million.
Net operating interest income after provision for loan losses
increased 68 percent year over year to a record $343 million -
representing 59 percent of total net revenue. The Company's record net
operating interest income was the combined result of a 42 percent
increase in enterprise interest-earning assets and a 34 basis point
increase in enterprise net interest spread compared to the year ago
period. Non-interest revenue increased 11 percent year over year to
$239 million with higher commission-related revenue and lower gain on
sales of loans and securities, net.

    The Company also narrowed its 2006 earnings guidance range to
$1.45 - $1.50 per share from the previous range of $1.42 - $1.52. As
previously indicated, this range excludes $0.05 per share of
acquisition-related integration expenses. This $0.05 was realized
throughout the first three quarters of 2006. Including these expenses,
the Company now expects to earn $1.40 - $1.45 per share on a GAAP
basis in 2006, narrowed from the previous range of $1.37 - $1.47 per
share.

    "In the third quarter we generated growth in client assets and
cash, fueled by expanded customer engagement across our suite of
value-oriented financial solutions," said Mitchell H. Caplan, Chief
Executive Officer, E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation. "Our success is a

    SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AND ENDNOTES

    Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Metrics

    Management believes free cash, EBITDA, interest coverage, EPS
excluding acquisition-related integration expenses, enterprise net
interest income and enterprise interest-earning assets are appropriate
measures for evaluating the operating and liquidity performance of the
Company. We believe that the elimination of certain items from the
related GAAP measures is helpful to investors and analysts who may
wish to use some or all of this information to analyze our current
performance, prospects and valuation. Our management uses non-GAAP
information internally to evaluate our operating performance and in
formulating our budget for future periods.

    Free Cash

    Free cash represents cash held at the Company and its non-Bank and
non-Brokerage subsidiaries, less discretionary reserves, plus excess
capital at Bank and Brokerage after application of regulatory capital
requirements and the Company's own regulatory capital guidelines. The
Company believes that free cash is a useful measure of the Company's
liquidity as it excludes cash reflected on the balance sheet that may
not be freely available to the Company.

    EBITDA

    EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations before
corporate interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Management believes that EBITDA provides a useful additional measure
of our performance by excluding certain non-cash charges and expenses
that are not directly related to the performance of our business.

    Interest Coverage

    Interest coverage represents EBITDA divided by corporate interest
expense. Management believes that by excluding the charges and
expenses that are excluded from EBITDA, interest coverage provides a
useful additional measure of our ability to continue to meet our
interest obligations and our liquidity.

    EPS Excluding Acquisition-Related Integration Expenses

    EPS excluding acquisition-related integration expenses represents
net income plus acquisition-related integration expenses, net of tax
divided by diluted shares. Management believes that excluding charges
associated with the integration of our acquisitions from EPS provides
a useful measure to assess the ongoing operating performance of the
Company without the impact of nonrecurring charges associated with
acquisitions.

    Enterprise Net Interest Income

    Enterprise Net Interest Income is taxable equivalent basis net
operating interest income excluding corporate interest income and
corporate interest expense, stock conduit interest income and expense
and interest earned on customer cash held by third parties. Management
believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and analysts as
it is a measure of the net operating interest income generated by our
core operations.

    Enterprise Interest-Earning Assets

    Enterprise interest-earning assets consists of the primary
interest-earning assets of the Company and includes: loans receivable,
mortgage-backed and available-for-sale securities, margin loans, stock
borrow balances, and cash required to be segregated under regulatory
guidelines that earn interest for the Company. Management believes
that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and analysts as it
is a measure of the primary assets from which the Company generates
net operating interest income.

    It is important to note these metrics and other non-GAAP measures
may involve judgment by management and should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income,
consolidated statements of cash flows, or other measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For complete information
on the items excluded from these non-GAAP measures, please see our
financial statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition" that will be included
in the periodic report we expect to file with the SEC with respect to
the financial periods discussed herein.

    (1) EPS excluding acquisition-related integration expenses is a
non-GAAP financial measure per applicable SEC regulations. The
earnings of $0.36 per share was calculated as Net Income as reported
of $153,249,000 plus the after-tax impact of acquisition-related
integration expenses of $2,577,000 for pro forma Net Income of
$155,826,000 divided by 438,883,000 diluted shares.

    (2) Reflects elimination of transactions between Retail and
Institutional segments, which include deposit transfer pricing,
servicing and order flow rebates.

    (3) Amounts and percentages may not calculate due to rounding.

    (4) Operating margin is the percentage of net revenue that goes to
net income before other income (expense), income taxes, minority
interest, discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting
change. The percentage is calculated by dividing our income before
other income (expense), income taxes, minority interest, discontinued
operations and cumulative effect of accounting change by our total net
revenue.

    (5) Enterprise net interest spread is the taxable equivalent rate
earned on average enterprise interest-earning assets less the rate
paid on average enterprise interest-bearing liabilities, excluding
corporate interest-earning assets and liabilities, stock conduit and
cash held by third parties.

    (6) Total customer cash and deposits, as well as total retail
client assets, have been re-presented to account for a methodology
change to settlement date from trade date reporting as of 12/31/05.

    (7) Q3-06 estimate.

    (8) Excludes loans to customers on margin.

    (9) Includes segregated cash balances.

    (10) Free credits are balances held in Brokerage customer accounts
arising from deposits of funds and sales of securities.

    (11) Gross-up for tax-exempt securities.

    (12) Net operating interest income earned on average stock conduit
assets of $0.03 billion, $0.4 billion and $0.7 billion for the
quarters ended September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006, and September 30,
2005, respectively.

    (13) Includes interest earned on average customer assets of $3.6
billion, $3.4 billion and $1.7 billion for the quarters ended
September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005,
respectively, held by parties outside E*TRADE FINANCIAL, including
third party money market funds and sweep deposit accounts at
unaffiliated financial institutions.
