(a)   Pre-provision profit is total net revenue less noninterest expense. The Firm believes that this financial measure is useful in assessing the ability of a lending institution to generate income in excess of its provision for credit losses.
 
(b)   The third and fourth quarters of 2008 included an accounting conformity loan loss reserve provision related to the acquisition of Washington Mutual’s banking operations.
 
(c)   The income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2008 included the realization of a benefit from the release of deferred tax liabilities associated with the undistributed earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries that were deemed to be reinvested indefinitely.
 
(d)   JPMorgan Chase acquired the banking operations of Washington Mutual Bank for $1.9 billion. The fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price, which resulted in negative goodwill. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for business combinations, nonfinancial assets that are not held-for-sale were written down against that negative goodwill. The negative goodwill that remained after writing down nonfinancial assets was recognized as an extraordinary gain. As a result of the final refinement of the purchase price allocation during the third quarter of 2009, the Firm recognized a $76 million increase in the extraordinary gain.
 
(e)   Effective January 1, 2009, the Firm implemented new FASB guidance for participating securities. Accordingly, prior-period amounts have been revised as required. For further discussion of the guidance, see Note 21 on pages 166-167 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(f)   The calculation of both the second-quarter and nine months ended 2009 earnings per share includes a one-time, noncash reduction of $1.1 billion, or $0.27 per share, resulting from repayment of U.S. Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) preferred capital. For further discussion, see “Impact on diluted earnings per share of redemption of TARP preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury” on page 19 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(g)   On June 5, 2009, the Firm issued 163 million shares of its common stock at $35.25 per share; and on September 30, 2008, the Firm issued 284 million shares of its common stock at $40.50 per share.
 
(h)   The principal market for JPMorgan Chase’s common stock is the New York Stock Exchange. JPMorgan Chase’s common stock is also listed and traded on the London Stock Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
 
(i)   The calculation of second-quarter 2009 net income applicable to common equity includes a one-time, noncash reduction of $1.1 billion resulting from repayment of TARP preferred capital. Excluding this reduction, the adjusted ROE and ROTCE were 6% and 10% for the second quarter of 2009, respectively. For further discussion of adjusted ROE, see “Explanation and reconciliation of the Firm’s use of non-GAAP financial measures” on pages 15-19 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(j)   For further discussion of ROTCE, a non-GAAP financial measure, see “Explanation and reconciliation of the Firm’s use of non-GAAP financial measures” on pages 15-19 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(k)   Tier 1 common is calculated as Tier 1 capital less qualifying perpetual preferred stock, qualifying trust preferred securities and qualifying minority interest in subsidiaries. The Firm uses the Tier 1 common capital ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess and compare the quality and composition of the Firm’s capital with the capital of other financial services companies. For further discussion, see Regulatory capital on pages 55-57 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(l)   Excludes the impact of home lending purchased credit-impaired loans and loans held by the Washington Mutual Master Trust. For further discussion, see Allowance for credit losses on pages 81-84 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(m)   Common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the third and fourth quarters of 2008, as the effect on income/(loss) before extraordinary gain would be antidilutive.

(a)   The third quarter of 2008 included an accounting conformity loan loss reserve provision related to the acquisition of Washington Mutual’s banking operations.
 
(b)   JPMorgan Chase acquired Washington Mutual’s banking operations from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) for $1.9 billion. The fair value of Washington Mutual net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price, which resulted in negative goodwill. In accordance with U.S. GAAP for business combinations, nonfinancial assets that are not held-for-sale were written down against that negative goodwill. The negative goodwill that remained after writing down nonfinancial assets was recognized as an extraordinary gain. As a result of the final refinement of the purchase price allocation during the third quarter of 2009, the Firm recognized a $76 million increase in the extraordinary gain.
 
(c)   Effective January 1, 2009, the Firm implemented new FASB guidance for participating securities. Accordingly, prior-period amounts have been revised. For further discussion of the guidance, see Note 21 on pages 166-167 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(d)   The calculation of EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, includes a one-time noncash reduction of $1.1 billion, or $0.27 per share, resulting from the redemption of Series K preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury.
Business overview
JPMorgan Chase reported third-quarter 2009 net income of $3.6 billion, compared with net income of $527 million in the third quarter of 2008. Earnings per share were $0.82, compared with $0.09 in the prior year. Return on common equity was 9%.
The increase in earnings from the third quarter of 2008 was driven by significantly higher net revenue, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense. Both revenue and expense were higher due to the impact of the acquisition of the banking operations of Washington Mutual Bank (“Washington Mutual”) on September 25, 2008. In addition, the increase in net revenue was driven by strong trading results and gains on legacy leveraged-lending and mortgage-related positions, compared with markdowns in the prior year in IB; gains on trading positions and higher net interest income in Corporate/Private Equity; and wider loan spreads across most businesses. The increase to the provision for credit losses resulted from a significant increase in the consumer provision, reflecting higher net charge-offs and an increase in the allowance for credit losses in the home lending and credit card loan portfolios. In addition to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, the increase in noninterest expense was driven by higher performance-based compensation expense, partially offset by lower headcount-related expense.
Net income for the first nine months of 2009 was $8.5 billion, or $1.51 per share, compared with $4.9 billion, or $1.30 per share, in the first nine months of 2008. The following factors that drove the 2009 third-quarter results also generally drove the increase in earnings from the comparable 2008 nine-month period: strong net revenue growth, driven by the Washington Mutual transaction; higher principal transactions revenue; and increased net interest income; partially offset by higher credit costs and higher noninterest expense. The first nine months of 2009 also reflected higher net revenue from mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) risk management results in RFS and higher noninterest expense resulting from an accrual for an FDIC special assessment in the second quarter of 2009.

The U.S. and most other economies grew in the third quarter of 2009, with various industry sectors showing signs of stability. Conditions in financial markets also improved, as evidenced by the following: credit spreads have stabilized in the interbank term funding markets and continued to narrow for investment-grade borrowers; credit markets opened for noninvestment-grade borrowers; and the broader equity markets rose significantly. Activity in the housing sector increased, with new home construction picking up for the first time in three and a half years. Consumer spending stabilized, despite losses on household balance sheets and poor job market conditions, as the unemployment rate rose to 9.8% at the end of the third quarter. Business capital spending leveled out, aided by a slowing in the pace of inventory liquidation. Inflation remained low, and the Federal Reserve indicated that the federal funds rate would likely remain low for an “extended period,” reiterating its intent to continue to use a wide range of tools to promote economic recovery and maintain price stability.
JPMorgan Chase’s line-of-business results for the third quarter of 2009 reflected the broad-based nature of the economic improvement. Pre-provision profit remained strong at $13.2 billion, up by $9.6 billion from the prior year. Five of the six lines of business produced revenue growth, and the Investment Bank, Asset Management, Commercial Banking and the Retail Banking segment within Retail Financial Services grew net income. In contrast, Card Services and the Consumer Lending segment within Retail Financial Services reported net losses; in spite of initial signs of improvement, particularly in early-stage delinquencies, credit costs continued to be elevated in these businesses. Accordingly, the Firm increased its consumer allowance for credit losses by $2.0 billion, bringing the total allowance for credit losses to $31.5 billion, or 5.28% of total loans. This addition, combined with capital generation in the quarter, helped the Firm maintain a strong balance sheet, with a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 10.2% and a Tier 1 Common Capital ratio of 8.2%.
The Firm continued to help consumers and communities navigate the challenging economy by announcing a revamp of its overdraft policies to provide customers with more control over the fees they pay; developing new, innovative products in Card Services to enhance the way customers manage their spending and borrowing; and working with struggling mortgage customers to modify their loans. JPMorgan Chase has approved more than 262,000 new trial modifications under the U.S. Making Home Affordable Program and its own modification program, nearly 90% of which include a reduction in payments for the homeowner. Since 2007, the Firm has helped families by initiating approximately 782,000 actions to prevent foreclosure.
The discussion that follows highlights the current-quarter performance of each business segment compared with the prior-year quarter, and presents results on a managed basis unless otherwise noted. For more information about managed basis, see Explanation and Reconciliation of the Firm’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 15-19 of this Form 10-Q .
Investment Bank net income increased, reflecting higher net revenue partially offset by increases in both noninterest expense and the provision for credit losses. Fixed Income Markets drove the revenue growth, with strong results across most products and gains on legacy leveraged-lending and mortgage-related positions, compared with markdowns on these positions in the prior year. The increase in the provision for credit losses reflected deterioration in the credit environment compared with the third quarter of 2008. Noninterest expense increased, driven by higher performance-based compensation, partially offset by lower headcount-related expense.
Retail Financial Services net income declined, as an increase in the provision for credit losses was largely offset by the positive impact of the Washington Mutual transaction. Growth in net revenue was also driven by higher net mortgage servicing revenue, wider loan spreads and higher deposit balances, offset partially by lower mortgage production revenue and lower loan balances. The provision for credit losses rose significantly as weak economic conditions and housing price declines continued to drive higher estimated losses for the home equity and mortgage loan portfolios. Included in the third-quarter 2009 addition to the allowance for loan losses was an increase related to estimated deterioration in the Washington Mutual purchased credit-impaired portfolio. Noninterest expense increased, reflecting the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher servicing expense, partially offset by lower mortgage reinsurance losses.
Card Services reported a net loss, compared with net income in the prior year. The decrease was driven by a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher net revenue. The increase in net revenue was driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, wider loan spreads and higher merchant servicing revenue related to the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture. These benefits were offset partially by higher revenue reversals associated with higher charge-offs, lower average loan balances and a decreased level of fees. The provision for credit losses reflected a higher level of charge-offs and an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Noninterest expense increased due to the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture and the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction.

Commercial Banking net income increased, driven by higher net revenue, reflecting the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, predominantly offset by a higher provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense. Net revenue also increased due to wider loan spreads, a shift to higher-spread liability products, overall growth in liability balances and higher lending- and deposit-related fees. These benefits were offset predominantly by spread compression on liability products and lower loan balances. The increase in the provision for credit losses reflected continued deterioration in the credit environment across all business segments, particularly real estate-related segments. Noninterest expense rose due to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher FDIC insurance premiums.
Treasury & Securities Services net income decreased, driven by lower net revenue offset partially by lower noninterest expense. Worldwide Securities Services revenue declined, driven by lower securities lending balances, primarily as a result of declines in asset valuations and demand; lower spreads and balances on liability products; and the effect of market depreciation on certain custody assets. Treasury Services revenue declined as well, reflecting spread compression on deposit products offset by higher trade revenue driven by wider spreads, and higher card product volumes. Noninterest expense decreased, reflecting lower headcount-related expense, offset partially by higher FDIC insurance premiums.
Asset Management net income increased, due to higher net revenue and lower noninterest expense, offset partially by a higher provision for credit losses. Growth in net revenue was driven by gains on the Firm’s seed capital investments, wider loan spreads, higher deposit balances and net inflows. These benefits were partially offset by the effect of lower market levels, narrower deposit spreads, lower loan balances and decreased placement fees. The increase in the provision for credit losses reflected continued deterioration in the credit environment. Noninterest expense decreased due to lower headcount-related expense, offset by higher performance-based compensation and higher FDIC insurance premiums.
Corporate/Private Equity reported net income, compared with a net loss in the prior year, reflecting continued gains on trading positions, higher net interest income and private equity gains in the third quarter of 2009, compared with losses in the third quarter of 2008.
Firmwide, the managed provision for credit losses was $9.8 billion, up by $3.1 billion, or 47%, from the prior year. The prior-year quarter included a $2.0 billion charge to conform Washington Mutual’s allowance for loan losses, which affected both the consumer and wholesale portfolios. For the purposes of the following analysis, this charge is excluded. The consumer-managed provision for credit losses was $9.0 billion, compared with $4.3 billion in the prior year, reflecting an increase in the allowance for credit losses in the home lending and credit card loan portfolios. Consumer-managed net charge-offs were $7.0 billion, compared with $3.3 billion, resulting in managed net charge-off rates of 6.29% and 3.39%, respectively. The wholesale provision for credit losses was $779 million, compared with $398 million, reflecting continued deterioration in the credit environment. Wholesale net charge-offs were $1.1 billion, compared with $52 million, resulting in net charge-off rates of 1.93% and 0.10%, respectively. The Firm’s nonperforming assets totaled $20.4 billion at September 30, 2009, up from $9.5 billion. The allowance for credit losses increased by $1.6 billion during the quarter; this resulted in a loan loss coverage ratio at September 30, 2009, of 5.28%, compared with 5.01% at June 30, 2009, and 2.87% at September 30, 2008. The above mentioned net charge-off rates and allowance for loan loss ratios exclude loans accounted for at fair value and loans held-for-sale, and the impact of purchased credit-impaired loans. The allowance for loan loss ratios also excluded the impact of loans held by the Washington Mutual Master Trust, which were consolidated on the Firm’s balance sheet at fair value during the second quarter of 2009 and the $1.1 billion of allowance related to the purchased credit-impaired portfolio.
Business outlook
The following forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of JPMorgan Chase’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Firm’s actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements.
JPMorgan Chase’s outlook for the fourth quarter of 2009 should be viewed against the backdrop of the global and U.S. economies, financial markets activity, the geopolitical environment, the competitive environment and client activity levels. Each of these linked factors will affect the performance of the Firm and its lines of business. The Firm continues to monitor the global and U.S. economic environments. The outlook for the capital markets remains uncertain, and further declines in U.S. housing prices in certain markets and increases in the unemployment rate, either of which could adversely affect the Firm’s financial results, are possible. In addition, as a result of recent market conditions, the U.S. Congress and regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of financial institutions; any legislation or regulations that may be adopted as a result could limit or restrict the Firm’s operations, or impose additional costs on the Firm in order to comply with such new laws or rules.

Given the potential stress on the consumer from rising unemployment and continued downward pressure on housing prices, management remains cautious with respect to the credit outlook for the consumer loan portfolios. Possible continued deterioration in credit trends could result in higher credit costs and require additions to the consumer allowance for credit losses. Based on management’s current economic outlook, quarterly net charge-offs could reach $1.4 billion for the home equity portfolio, $600 million for the prime mortgage portfolio and $500 million for the subprime mortgage portfolio over the next several quarters. The managed net charge-off rate for Card Services (excluding the Washington Mutual credit card portfolio) could approach 10.5% by the first half of 2010, and thereafter will remain highly dependent on unemployment levels. The managed net charge-off rate for the Washington Mutual credit card portfolio could approach 24% over the next several quarters. These charge-off rates are likely to move even higher if the economic environment deteriorates beyond management’s current expectations. Similarly, wholesale credit costs, and net charge-offs could increase over the next several quarters if the credit environment continues to deteriorate.
The Investment Bank continues to operate in an uncertain environment and, as noted above, results could be adversely affected if the credit environment deteriorates further. Trading results can be volatile and recent market conditions, which include elevated client volumes and spread levels, are not likely to continue. As such, management does not expect recent strong results in both Fixed Income and Equity Markets segments to continue at the same levels. Finally, if the Firm’s own credit spreads tighten, as was the case in the third quarter of 2009, the change in fair value of certain trading liabilities would also negatively affect trading results.
Although management expects underlying growth in Retail Banking, results will be under pressure from the credit environment and ongoing lower consumer spending levels. In addition, there could be further declines over the remainder of the year in average retail deposits due to anticipated downward repricing of certain legacy Washington Mutual deposits. Finally, as a result of recent changes in the Firm’s policies relating to non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees, management expects lower Retail Banking revenue in 2010. Although management estimates are, at this point in time, preliminary and subject to change, the impact of such changes could result in an annualized reduction in net income of approximately $500 million.
Card Services faces rising credit costs, as noted above, as well as continued pressure on both charge volumes and credit card receivables growth, reflecting continued lower levels of consumer spending. In addition, as a result of the recently-enacted credit card legislation, management estimates, which are preliminary and subject to change, are that Card Services’ annual net income may be adversely affected by approximately $500 million to $750 million. As a result of all these factors, management currently expects Card Services to have a net loss for the full year 2010.
Commercial Banking results could be negatively affected by rising credit costs, a decline in loan demand and reduced liability balances.
Earnings in Treasury & Securities Services and Asset Management will be affected by the impact of market levels on assets under management, supervision and custody. Additionally, earnings in Treasury & Securities Services could be affected by liability balance flows.
Private Equity results will likely be volatile and continue to be influenced by capital market activity, market levels, the performance of the broader economy and investment-specific issues. Net interest income levels will generally trend with the size of the investment portfolio in Corporate; however, the high level of trading gains in Corporate in the third quarter of 2009 is not likely to continue. In the near-term, Corporate quarterly net income (excluding Private Equity, merger-related items and any significant nonrecurring items) is expected to decline to approximately $500 million and continue trending lower through the course of 2010.
Lastly, on a Firmwide matter, the decision of the Firm’s Board of Directors regarding any increase in the level of common stock dividends will be subject to their judgment that the likelihood of another severe economic downturn has sufficiently diminished, and that overall business performance has stabilized. When, in the Board’s judgment, it is appropriate to increase the dividend, the likely result might involve an initial increase to a $0.75 to $1.00 per share annual payout level, followed by a subsequent return to the Firm’s historical dividend payout ratio of 30% to 40% of normalized earnings over time.

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $26.6 billion, up by $11.9 billion, or 81%, from the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, total net revenue was $77.3 billion, up by $27.2 billion, or 54%, from the equivalent period of 2008. The increase from both prior-year periods was driven by higher principal transactions revenue, primarily related to the strong results across most fixed income and equity products and the absence of markdowns on legacy leveraged lending and mortgage positions in IB, as well as higher levels of trading gains and investment securities income in Corporate. The results also benefited from the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, which contributed to the increases in net interest income, lending- and deposit-related fees, mortgage fees and related income. These benefits were offset partially by reduced fees and commissions resulting from lower market levels on assets under management and custody. For the year-to-date comparison, an additional driver of the increase in revenue was higher net revenue from MSR risk management results, offset by the absence of proceeds from the sale of Visa shares in its initial public offering in the first quarter of 2008.
Investment banking fees for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 increased from the comparable periods in 2008, reflecting higher equity and debt underwriting fees, offset partially by lower advisory fees. For a further discussion of investment banking fees, which are primarily recorded in IB, see IB segment results on pages 21-24 of this Form 10-Q.
Principal transactions revenue, which consists of revenue from the Firm’s trading and private equity investing activities, rose from the third quarter and first nine months of 2008. Trading revenue increased in the third quarter of 2009, driven by strong results across most fixed income and equity products; gains of approximately $400 million on legacy leveraged lending and mortgage-related positions, compared with markdowns of $3.6 billion in the prior year; and gains on trading positions in Corporate, compared with losses in the prior year of $1.0 billion on markdowns of Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) preferred securities. These benefits were offset partially by an aggregate loss of $1.0 billion in the quarter from the tightening of the Firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities and derivatives, compared with gains of $956 million in the prior year from the widening of the spread on those liabilities. For the first nine months of 2009, trading revenue rose as a result of the same drivers in the quarter, including significantly lower net markdowns on legacy leveraged lending and mortgage-related positions, compared with markdowns of $7.7 billion in the prior year; these benefits were offset partially by an aggregate loss of $1.9 billion from the tightening of the Firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities and derivatives, compared with gains of $2.8 billion in the prior year from the widening of spreads on those liabilities. The Firm’s private equity investments generated net gains in the third quarter of 2009, compared with net losses in the prior year. For the first nine months of 2009, the private equity investments produced net losses, compared with net gains in the prior year. For a further discussion of principal transactions revenue, see IB and Corporate/Private Equity segment results on pages 21-24 and 47-49 respectively, and Note 3 on pages 106-121 of this Form 10-Q.
Lending- and deposit-related fees rose from the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, predominantly reflecting the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and organic growth in both lending- and deposit-related fees in RFS and IB, as well as in CB. For a further discussion of lending- and deposit-related fees, which are mostly recorded in RFS, CB and TSS, see the RFS segment results on pages 25-32, the CB segment results on pages 37-39, and the TSS segment results on pages 40-43 of this Form 10-Q.

The decline in asset management, administration and commissions revenue compared with the third quarter of 2008 reflected lower brokerage commissions revenue in IB, predominantly related to lower transaction volume; lower asset management fees in AM, from the impact of lower market levels on assets under management; and lower administration fees in TSS, driven by the effect of market depreciation on certain custody assets and lower securities lending balances. For the first nine months of 2009, the decline was largely due to lower asset management fees in AM from the impact of lower market levels on assets under management. Lower brokerage commissions revenue in IB and lower administrative fees in TSS also contributed to the decrease.
The decrease in securities gains compared with the third quarter of 2008 was due to lower gains from the repositioning of the Corporate investment securities portfolio, in connection with managing the Firm’s structural interest rate risk. For the first nine months of 2009, the decrease reflected lower gains from the sale of MasterCard shares, which totaled $241 million in 2009, compared with $668 million in 2008. For a further discussion of securities gains, which are mostly recorded in the Firm’s Corporate business, see the Corporate/Private Equity segment discussion on pages 47-49 of this Form 10-Q.
Mortgage fees and related income increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, as higher net mortgage servicing revenue was offset partially by a production-related net loss in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in net mortgage servicing revenue was driven by growth in average third-party loans serviced as a result of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher MSR risk management results, reflecting primarily, for the nine-month period, the positive impact of a decrease in estimated future mortgage prepayments and positive hedging results. Mortgage production generated a net loss for the third quarter of 2009, and a decline from the first nine months of 2008, reflecting an increase in reserves for the repurchase of previously-sold loans, offset by wider margins on new originations. For a discussion of mortgage fees and related income, which is recorded primarily in RFS’ Consumer Lending business, see the Consumer Lending discussion on pages 29-32 of this Form 10-Q.
Credit card income, which includes the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, was flat compared with the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, as lower servicing fees earned in connection with CS securitization activities, largely as a result of higher credit losses, were offset by wider loan margins on securitized credit card loans. Also partially offsetting the decline were higher merchant servicing revenue related to the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture and higher interchange income. For a further discussion of credit card income, see the CS segment results on pages 33-36 of this Form 10-Q.
Other income increased in the third quarter of 2009 due to the absence of a $375 million charge recognized in the third quarter of 2008 related to the repurchase of auction-rate securities at par. Also contributing to the increase in other income during the quarter were higher markups on certain investments, including seed capital in AM, and higher gains on the sale of certain assets, including other real estate owned. For the first nine months of 2009, other income decreased, due predominantly to the absence of $1.5 billion in proceeds from the sale of Visa shares in the first quarter of 2008 during its initial public offering, lower net securitization income in CS and the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture. These items were partially offset by the absence of a $423 million loss incurred in the second quarter of 2008, reflecting the Firm’s 49.4% share in Bear Stearns’ losses from April 8 to May 30, 2008, and the same items that drove the increase in the third quarter of 2009 results compared with the third quarter of 2008.
Net interest income increased $3.7 billion to $12.7 billion, and $13.8 billion to $38.8 billion, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with the comparable periods in 2008. The increase from the prior year was driven by the Washington Mutual transaction, which contributed to higher average loans and deposits, and the impact of a wider net interest margin. For the quarter, the net yield on the Firm’s interest-earning assets of $1.6 trillion, on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis, was 3.10%, an increase of 37 basis points from 2008. For the first nine months, the net yield on the Firm’s interest-earning assets of $1.7 trillion, on an FTE basis, was 3.15%, an increase of 47 basis points from 2008. Excluding the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, the increase in net interest income in the quarter and first nine months of the year was driven by the overall decline in market interest rates during the periods, which benefited the net interest margin as rates paid on the Firm’s interest-bearing liabilities declined faster relative to the decline in rates earned on interest-earning assets. The higher level of the investment securities portfolio also contributed to the increase in net interest income. The increase in net interest income was offset partially by lower loan balances, which included the effect of loan charge-offs.

Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 rose compared with the equivalent 2008 periods due to increases in the consumer provision. The prior-year quarter included a $2.0 billion charge to conform Washington Mutual’s allowance for loan losses, which affected both the consumer and wholesale portfolios. For the purpose of the following analysis, this charge is excluded. The consumer provision reflected additions to the allowance for loan losses for the home equity, mortgage and credit card portfolios, as weak economic conditions, housing price declines and higher unemployment rates continued to drive higher estimated losses for these portfolios. Included in the third-quarter 2009 addition to the allowance for loan losses was a $1.1 billion increase related to estimated deterioration in the Washington Mutual purchased credit-impaired portfolio. The wholesale provision increased from the comparable 2008 periods, reflecting continued deterioration in the credit environment. For a more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses, see the segment discussions for RFS on pages 25-32, CS on pages 33-36, IB on pages 21-24 and CB on pages 37-39, and the Allowance for Credit Losses section on pages 81-84 of this Form 10-Q.

(a)   Includes $675 million accrued for an FDIC special assessment in the second quarter of 2009.
Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2009 was $13.5 billion, up $2.3 billion, or 21%, from the third quarter of 2008; for the first nine months of 2009, total noninterest expense was $40.3 billion, up by $8.1 billion, or 25%, from the comparable 2008 period. The increase was driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, higher performance-based compensation expense, the accrual of $0.7 billion for an FDIC special assessment recognized in the second quarter of 2009, higher FDIC insurance premiums and increased mortgage-related servicing expense. These items were offset partially by lower headcount-related expense, which includes salary and benefits (excluding performance-based incentives), and other noncompensation costs related to employees.
Compensation expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared with the prior-year periods, reflecting higher performance-based incentives, as well as the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction. Excluding these two items, compensation expense decreased as a result of the reduction in headcount, particularly in the wholesale businesses and in Corporate.
Noncompensation expense increased from the third quarter of 2008, due predominantly to the following: the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction; higher litigation costs, partly as a result of benefits recognized in 2008 from certain litigation matters; higher mortgage servicing-related expense due to increased delinquencies and defaults, which included an increase in foreclosed property expense of $0.3 billion; higher FDIC insurance premiums; and the impact of the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture. These items were offset partially by lower headcount-related expense, particularly in IB, TSS and AM, and lower mortgage reinsurance losses. Noncompensation expense increased from the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to the drivers discussed for the third quarter and an accrual of $0.7 billion for an FDIC special assessment recognized in the second quarter of 2009. The increase was partially offset by lower credit card marketing expense.

The change in the effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, compared with the same periods of 2008, was primarily the result of higher reported pretax income and changes in the proportion of income subject to federal, state and local taxes. In addition, the third quarter and first nine months of 2008 reflected the realization of benefits of $927 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, from the release of deferred tax liabilities associated with the undistributed earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries that were deemed to be reinvested indefinitely. For a further discussion of income taxes, see Critical Accounting Estimates used by the Firm on pages 92-94 of this Form 10-Q.
Extraordinary gain
The Firm recognized a $76 million increase in the extraordinary gain in the third quarter of 2009 associated with the final purchase accounting adjustments for the September 25, 2008 acquisition of the banking operations of Washington Mutual, compared with a preliminary gain of $581 million in the third quarter of 2008. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP for business combinations. The adjusted net asset value of the banking operations after purchase accounting adjustments was higher than the consideration paid by JPMorgan Chase, resulting in these extraordinary gains. For a further discussion of the Washington Mutual transaction, see Note 2 on pages 102-106 of this Form 10-Q.

EXPLANATION AND RECONCILIATION OF THE FIRM’S USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Firm prepares its consolidated financial statements using U.S. GAAP; these financial statements appear on pages 98-101 of this
Form 10-Q. That presentation, which is referred to as “reported basis,” provides the reader with an understanding of the Firm’s results that can be tracked consistently from year to year and enables a comparison of the Firm’s performance with other companies’ U.S. GAAP financial statements.
In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management reviews the Firm’s results and the results of the lines of business on a “managed” basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Firm’s definition of managed basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results and includes certain reclassifications that assume credit card loans securitized by CS remain on the balance sheet, and it presents revenue on a FTE basis. These adjustments do not have any impact on net income as reported by the lines of business or by the Firm as a whole.
The presentation of CS results on a managed basis assumes that credit card loans that have been securitized and sold in accordance with U.S. GAAP remain on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and that the earnings on the securitized loans are classified in the same manner as the earnings on retained loans recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of managed basis to evaluate the credit performance and overall financial performance of the entire managed credit card portfolio. Operations are funded and decisions are made about allocating resources, such as employees and capital, based on managed financial information. In addition, the same underwriting standards and ongoing risk monitoring are used for both loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and securitized loans. Although securitizations result in the sale of credit card receivables to a trust, JPMorgan Chase retains the ongoing customer relationships, as the customers may continue to use their credit cards; accordingly, the customer’s credit performance will affect both the securitized loans and the loans retained on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. JPMorgan Chase believes managed basis information is useful to investors, enabling them to understand both the credit risks associated with the loans reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Firm’s retained interests in securitized loans. For a reconciliation of reported to managed basis results for CS, see CS segment results on pages 33-36 of this Form 10-Q. For information regarding the securitization process, and loans and residual interests sold and securitized, see Note 15 on pages 147-155 of this Form 10-Q.
Total net revenue for each of the business segments and the Firm is presented on a FTE basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax-exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits is presented in the managed results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This non-GAAP financial measure allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to these items is recorded within income tax expense.
Tangible common equity (“TCE”) represents common stockholders’ equity (i.e., total stockholders’ equity less preferred stock) less identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs) and goodwill, net of related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE, a non-GAAP financial ratio, measures the Firm’s earnings as a percentage of TCE, and is in management’s view a meaningful measure to assess the Firm’s use of equity.
Management also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures at the business-segment level, because it believes these other non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the particular business segment and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the business segment with the performance of its competitors.

Impact on ROE of redemption of TARP preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury
The calculation of second-quarter 2009 net income applicable to common equity includes a one-time, noncash reduction of $1.1 billion resulting from the repayment of TARP preferred capital. Excluding this reduction ROE would have been 6% for the second quarter of 2009 as disclosed in the table below. The Firm views the adjusted ROE, a non-GAAP financial measure, as meaningful because it increases the comparability to prior periods.

Impact on diluted earnings per share of redemption of TARP preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury
Net income applicable to common equity for the second quarter of 2009 included a one-time, noncash reduction of approximately $1.1 billion resulting from the repayment of TARP preferred capital. The following table presents the calculations of the effect on net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and the $0.27 reduction to diluted earnings per share which resulted from the repayment. There was no impact on diluted earnings per share from the TARP repayment during the third quarter of 2009.

Other financial measures
The Firm also discloses the allowance for loan losses to total retained loans, excluding home lending purchased credit-impaired loans and loans held by the Washington Mutual Master Trust. For a further discussion of this credit metric, see Allowance for Credit Losses on pages 81–84 of this Form 10-Q.
BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
The Firm is managed on a line-of-business basis. The business segment financial results presented reflect the current organization of JPMorgan Chase. There are six major reportable business segments: the Investment Bank, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset Management, as well as a Corporate/Private Equity segment. The business segments are determined based on the products and services provided, or the type of customer served, and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on a managed basis.
Description of business segment reporting methodology
Results of the business segments are intended to reflect each segment as if it were essentially a stand-alone business. The management reporting process that derives business segment results allocates income and expense using market-based methodologies. For a further discussion of those methodologies, see Business Segment Results — Description of business segment reporting methodology on pages 40-41 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2008 Annual Report. The Firm continues to assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications used for segment reporting, and further refinements may be implemented in future periods.

IB recognizes this credit reimbursement in its credit portfolio business in All other income. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current presentation.
 
(b)   The decrease in net interest income in the third quarter was due to a lower amount of interest-earning assets, while the increase in year-to-date 2009 was driven by higher spreads across several fixed income trading businesses, partially offset by lower balances.
 
(c)   Total net revenue included tax-equivalent adjustments, predominantly due to income tax credits related to affordable housing and alternative energy investments, as well as tax-exempt income from municipal bond investments of $371 million and $427 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.1 billion for both year-to-date 2009 and 2008.
 
(d)   The income tax benefit in the third quarter and year-to-date 2008 was predominantly the result of reduced deferred tax liabilities on overseas earnings.

Quarterly results
Net income was $1.9 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion from the third quarter of 2008. These results included the negative impact of the tightening of the Firm’s credit spread, offset by the positive impact of counterparty spread tightening and gains on legacy leveraged lending and mortgage-related positions.
Net revenue was $7.5 billion, an increase of $3.4 billion, or 85%, from the prior year. Investment banking fees were up 4% to $1.7 billion, consisting of equity underwriting fees of $681 million (up 31%), debt underwriting fees of $593 million (up 19%) and advisory fees of $384 million (down 33%). Fixed Income Markets revenue was $5.0 billion, up by $4.2 billion, reflecting strong results across most products and gains of approximately $400 million on legacy leveraged lending and mortgage-related positions, compared with markdowns of $3.6 billion in the prior year. These results also included losses of $497 million from the tightening of the Firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities, compared with gains of $343 million in the prior year from the widening of the spread on those liabilities. Equity Markets revenue was $941 million, down by $709 million, or 43%, which included losses of $343 million from the tightening of the Firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities, compared with gains in the prior year of $429 million from the widening of the spread on those liabilities. The current period’s results also included solid client revenue, particularly in prime services, and strong trading results. Credit Portfolio revenue was a loss of $102 million, reflecting mark-to-market losses on hedges of retained loans, largely offset by a combination of the positive net impact of credit spreads on derivative assets and liabilities, and net interest income on loans.
The provision for credit losses increased to $379 million, compared with $234 million in the prior year. The increase in the provision reflected deterioration in the credit environment compared with the third quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs were $750 million compared with $13 million in the prior year. The allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained was 8.44%, compared with 3.62% in the prior year. Nonperforming loans were $4.9 billion, up by $4.5 billion from the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $4.3 billion, up by $458 million, or 12%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher performance-based compensation, partially offset by lower headcount-related expense.
Return on equity was 23% on $33.0 billion of average allocated capital, compared with 13% on $26.0 billion of average allocated capital in the prior year.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $5.0 billion, an increase of $3.8 billion from the prior year. The results reflected higher net revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense and a higher provision for credit losses.
Net revenue was $23.2 billion, an increase of $10.6 billion, or 84%, from the prior year. Investment banking fees were up 16% to $5.3 billion, consisting of equity underwriting fees of $2.1 billion (up 47%), debt underwriting fees of $1.9 billion (up 14%) and advisory fees of $1.3 billion (down 12%). Fixed Income Markets revenue was $14.8 billion, up by $11.2 billion, reflecting strong results across all products, as well as significantly lower net markdowns on legacy leveraged lending and mortgage-related positions, compared with markdowns of $7.7 billion in the prior year. These results also included losses of $848 million from the tightening of the Firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities, compared with gains of $1.2 billion in the prior year from the widening of the spread on those liabilities. Equity Markets revenue was $3.4 billion, down by $283 million, or 8%, which included losses of $453 million from the tightening of the Firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities, compared with gains in the prior year of $865 million from the widening of the spread on those liabilities. The current period’s results also included solid client revenue, particularly in prime services, and strong trading results. Credit Portfolio revenue was a loss of $348 million, down by $1.1 billion, reflecting mark-to-market losses on hedges of retained loans, partially offset by a combination of the positive net impact of credit spreads on derivative assets and liabilities, and net interest income on loans.
The provision for credit losses increased to $2.5 billion from $1.3 billion in the prior year, reflecting continued deterioration in the credit environment. Net charge-offs were $1.2 billion in 2009, compared with $18 million in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $13.1 billion, up by $2.0 billion, or 18%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher performance-based compensation, partially offset by lower noncompensation expense.
Return on Equity was 20% on $33.0 billion of average allocated capital, compared with 7% on $23.8 billion of average allocated capital in the prior year.

(b)   Adjusted assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total assets minus: (1) securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed less securities sold, not yet purchased; (2) assets of consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”); (3) cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory and other purposes; (4) goodwill and intangibles; (5) securities received as collateral; and (6) investments purchased under the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (“AML Facility”). The amount of adjusted assets is presented to assist the reader in comparing IB’s asset and capital levels to other investment banks in the securities industry. Asset-to-equity leverage ratios are commonly used as one measure to assess a company’s capital adequacy. IB believes an adjusted asset amount that excludes the assets discussed above, which were considered to have a low risk profile, provides a more meaningful measure of balance sheet leverage in the securities industry.
 
(c)   Allowance for loan losses of $1.8 billion and $72 million were held against these nonperforming loans at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Nonperforming loans excluded distressed loans held-for-sale that were purchased as part of IB’s proprietary activities.
 
(d)   Loans held-for-sale and loans at fair value were excluded when calculating the allowance coverage ratio and net charge-off rate.
 
(e)   Results for year-to-date 2008 include four months of the combined Firm’s (JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s and Bear Stearns’) results and five months of heritage JPMorgan Chase & Co results. For a more complete description of value-at-risk, see pages 84-89 of this Form 10-Q.
 
(f)   Average VaRs were less than the sum of the VaRs of their market risk components, which was due to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification. The diversification effect reflected the fact that the risks were not perfectly correlated. The risk of a portfolio of positions is usually less than the sum of the risks of the positions themselves.
 
(g)   Trading VaR includes predominantly all trading activities in IB. Trading VaR does not include VaR related to held-for-sale funded loans and unfunded commitments, nor the debit valuation adjustments (“DVA”) taken on derivative and structured liabilities to reflect the credit quality of the Firm. See the DVA Sensitivity table on page 89 of this Form 10-Q for further details. Trading VaR also does not include the MSR portfolio or VaR related to other corporate functions, such as Corporate/Private Equity. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, trading VaR includes the estimated credit spread sensitivity of certain mortgage products.
 
(h)   Includes VaR on derivative credit valuation adjustments (“CVA”), hedges of the CVA and mark-to-market hedges of the retained loan portfolio, which were all reported in principal transactions revenue. This VaR does not include the retained loan portfolio.
 
(i)   Excluding the impact of a loan originated in March 2008 to Bear Stearns, the adjusted ratio would be 3.76% for year-to-date 2008. The average balance of the loan extended to Bear Stearns was $2.6 billion for year-to-date 2008.
According to Thomson Reuters, for the first nine months of 2009, the Firm was ranked #1 in Global Debt, Equity and Equity-Related; #1 in Global Equity and Equity-Related; #1 in Global Long-Term Debt; #1 in Global Syndicated Loans and #4 in Global Announced M&A based on volume.
According to Dealogic, the Firm was ranked #1 in Investment Banking fees generated for the first nine months of 2009, based on revenue.

(a)   Retail Financial Services uses the overhead ratio (excluding the amortization of core deposit intangibles (“CDI”)), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the underlying expense trends of the business. Including CDI amortization expense in the overhead ratio calculation results in a higher overhead ratio in the earlier years and a lower overhead ratio in later years; this method would result in an improving overhead ratio over time, all things remaining equal. This non-GAAP ratio excludes Retail Banking’s core deposit intangible amortization expense, related to the 2006 Bank of New York transaction and the 2004 Bank One merger, of $83 million and $99 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $248 million and $297 million for year-to-date September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Quarterly results
Net income was $7 million, a decrease of $57 million from the third quarter of 2008, as an increase in the provision for credit losses was largely offset by the positive impact of the Washington Mutual transaction.
Net revenue was $8.2 billion, an increase of $3.3 billion, or 66%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $5.2 billion, up by $1.9 billion, or 60%, reflecting the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, wider loan spreads and higher deposit balances offset partially by lower loan balances. Noninterest revenue was $3.1 billion, up by $1.3 billion, or 77%, driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, higher net mortgage servicing revenue and higher deposit-related fees, partially offset by lower mortgage production revenue.
The provision for credit losses was $4.0 billion, an increase of $1.9 billion from the prior year. Weak economic conditions and housing price declines continued to drive higher estimated losses for the home equity and mortgage loan portfolios. The provision included an addition of $1.4 billion to the allowance for loan losses, compared with additions of $730 million in the prior year. Included in the third-quarter 2009 addition to the allowance for loan losses was a $1.1 billion increase related to estimated deterioration in the Washington Mutual purchased credit-impaired portfolio. Home equity net charge-offs were $1.1 billion (3.38% net charge-off rate; 4.25% excluding purchased credit-impaired loans), compared with $663 million (2.78% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. Subprime mortgage net charge-offs were $422 million (8.46% net charge-off rate; 12.31% excluding purchased credit-impaired loans), compared with $273 million (7.65% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. Prime mortgage net charge-offs were $525 million (2.58% net charge-off rate; 3.45% excluding purchased credit-impaired loans), compared with $177 million (1.79% net charge-off rate) in the prior year.

Noninterest expense was $4.2 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 51%. The increase reflected the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher servicing expense, partially offset by lower mortgage reinsurance losses.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $496 million, an increase of $240 million from the prior year, as the positive impact of the Washington Mutual transaction was partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses.
Net revenue was $25.0 billion, an increase of $10.2 billion, or 69%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $15.4 billion, up by $6.0 billion, or 63%, reflecting the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, wider loan and deposit spreads and higher average deposit balances. Noninterest revenue was $9.6 billion, up by $4.2 billion, or 78%, driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher net mortgage servicing revenue.
The provision for credit losses was $11.7 billion, an increase of $5.4 billion from the prior year. Weak economic conditions and housing price declines continued to drive higher estimated losses for the home equity and mortgage loan portfolios. The provision included an addition of $4.3 billion to the allowance for loan losses, compared with additions of $3.2 billion in the prior year. Included in the 2009 addition to the allowance for loan losses was a $1.1 billion increase related to estimated deterioration in the Washington Mutual purchased credit-impaired portfolio. Home equity net charge-offs were $3.5 billion (3.40% net charge-off rate; 4.26% excluding purchased credit-impaired loans), compared with $1.6 billion (2.28% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. Subprime mortgage net charge-offs were $1.2 billion (7.69% net charge-off rate; 11.18% excluding purchased credit-impaired loans), compared with $614 million (5.43% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. Prime mortgage net charge-offs were $1.3 billion (2.10% net charge-off rate; 2.81% excluding purchased credit-impaired loans), compared with $331 million (1.16% net charge-off rate) in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $12.4 billion, an increase of $4.4 billion, or 55%. The increase reflected the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher servicing expense.

These loans totaled $12.8 billion and $8.6 billion at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Average balances of these loans totaled $17.7 billion and $14.5 billion for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $15.8 billion and $14.9 billion for year-to-date 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
(b)   Excludes purchased credit-impaired loans that were acquired as part of the Washington Mutual transaction. These loans are accounted for on a pool basis, and the pools are considered to be performing.
 
(c)   Certain of these loans are classified as trading assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
(d)   At September 30, 2009 and 2008, nonperforming loans and assets excluded: (1) mortgage loans insured by U.S. government agencies of $7.0 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively; (2) real estate owned insured by U.S. government agencies of $579 million and $370 million, respectively; and (3) student loans that are 90 days past due and still accruing, which are insured by U.S. government agencies under the Federal Family Education Loan Program, of $511 million and $405 million, respectively. These amounts are excluded, as reimbursement is proceeding normally.
 
(e)   Loans held-for-sale and loans accounted for at fair value were excluded when calculating the allowance coverage ratio and the net charge-off rate.
 
(f)   Excludes the impact of purchased credit-impaired loans that were acquired as part of the Washington Mutual transaction. These loans were accounted for at fair value on the acquisition date, which incorporated management’s estimate, as of that date, of credit losses over the remaining life of the portfolio. During the third quarter of 2009, an allowance for loan losses of $1.1 billion was recorded for these loans. To date, no charge-offs have been recorded for these loans.

(a)   Retail Banking uses the overhead ratio (excluding the amortization of CDI), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the underlying expense trends of the business. Including CDI amortization expense in the overhead ratio calculation results in a higher overhead ratio in the earlier years and a lower overhead ratio in later years; this method would result in an improving overhead ratio over time, all things remaining equal. This non-GAAP ratio excludes Retail Banking’s CDI amortization expense, related to the 2006 Bank of New York transaction and the 2004 Bank One merger, of $83 million and $99 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $248 million and $297 million for year-to-date 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Quarterly results
Consumer Lending reported a net loss of $1.0 billion, compared with a net loss of $659 million in the prior year.
Net revenue was $3.6 billion, up by $1.5 billion, or 72%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, higher mortgage fees and related income and wider loan spreads, partially offset by lower loan balances. Mortgage production revenue was negative $70 million, compared with positive $66 million in the prior year, as an increase in reserves for the repurchase of previously-sold loans was predominantly offset by wider margins on new originations. Operating revenue, which represents loan servicing revenue net of other changes in fair value of the MSR asset, was $508 million, compared with $264 million in the prior year, reflecting growth in average third-party loans serviced as a result of the Washington Mutual transaction. MSR risk management results were $435 million, compared with $108 million in the prior year.
The provision for credit losses was $3.8 billion, compared with $2.0 billion in the prior year, reflecting continued weakness in the home equity and mortgage loan portfolios (see Retail Financial Services discussion of the provision for credit losses, above, for further detail).
Noninterest expense was $1.6 billion, up by $351 million, or 29%, from the prior year, reflecting higher servicing expense due to increased delinquencies and defaults and the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, partially offset by lower mortgage reinsurance losses.
Year-to-date results
Consumer Lending reported a net loss of $2.4 billion, compared with a net loss of $1.7 billion in the prior year.
Net revenue was $11.6 billion, up by $4.8 billion, or 72%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, higher mortgage fees and related income and wider loan spreads, partially offset by lower loan balances. Mortgage production revenue was $695 million, down $141 million from the prior year, as an increase in reserves for the repurchase of previously-sold loans was predominantly offset by wider margins on new originations. Operating revenue, which represents loan servicing revenue net of other changes in fair value of the MSR asset, was $1.1 billion, compared with $683 million in the prior year, reflecting growth in average third-party loans serviced as a result of the Washington Mutual transaction. MSR risk management results were $1.5 billion, compared with $140 million in the prior year, reflecting the positive impact of a decrease in estimated future mortgage prepayments and positive hedging results.
The provision for credit losses was $10.8 billion, compared with $6.1 billion in the prior year, reflecting continued weakness in the home equity and mortgage loan portfolios (see Retail Financial Services discussion of the provision for credit losses, above, for further detail).
Noninterest expense was $4.7 billion, up by $1.3 billion, or 40%, from the prior year, reflecting higher servicing expense due to increased delinquencies and defaults and the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, partially offset by lower mortgage reinsurance losses.

(a)   Purchased credit-impaired loans represent loans acquired in the Washington Mutual transaction for which a deterioration in credit quality occurred between the origination date and JPMorgan Chase’s acquisition date. These loans were initially recorded at fair value and accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable, even if the underlying loans are contractually past due.
 
(b)   Total average loans owned includes loans held-for-sale of $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively; and $2.4 billion and $3.2 billion for year-to-date 2009 and 2008, respectively.

CARD SERVICES
For a discussion of the business profile of CS, see pages 51-53 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2008 Annual Report and page 5 of this Form 10-Q.
JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed basis” to evaluate the credit performance of its credit card loans, both loans on the balance sheet and loans that have been securitized. For further information, see Explanation and Reconciliation of the Firm’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 15-19 of this Form 10-Q. Managed results exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on total net revenue, the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and loan receivables. Securitization does not change reported net income; however, it does affect the classification of items on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Quarterly results
Card Services reported a net loss of $700 million, a decline of $992 million from the third quarter of 2008. The decrease was driven by a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher net revenue.
End-of-period managed loans were $165.2 billion, a decrease of $21.3 billion, or 11%, from the prior year. The decrease was due to lower charge volume and a higher level of charge-offs. Average managed loans were $169.2 billion, an increase of $11.6 billion, or 7%, from the prior year. Excluding the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, end-of-period and average managed loans were $144.1 billion and $146.9 billion, respectively.
Managed net revenue was $5.2 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion, or 33%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $4.3 billion, up by $1.1 billion, or 34%, driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and wider loan spreads. These benefits were offset partially by higher revenue reversals associated with higher charge-offs, lower average loan balances and a decreased level of fees. Noninterest revenue was $831 million, up by $185 million, or 29%. The increase was driven by higher merchant servicing revenue related to the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture and the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction.
The managed provision for credit losses was $5.0 billion, an increase of $2.7 billion from the prior year. The provision reflected a higher level of charge-offs and an increase of $575 million in the allowance for loan losses in the current period, compared with an increase of $250 million in the prior year. The managed net charge-off rate for the quarter was 10.30%, up from 5.00% in the prior year. The 30-day managed delinquency rate was 5.99%, up from 3.91% in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, the managed net charge-off rate for the third quarter was 9.41%, and the 30-day delinquency rate was 5.38%.

Year-to-date results
Net loss was $1.9 billion, a decline of $3.1 billion from the prior year. The decrease was driven by a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher net revenue.
Average managed loans were $175.5 billion, an increase of $20.9 billion, or 13%, from the prior year. The increase from the prior year was predominantly due to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction. Excluding the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, average managed loans were $150.8 billion.
Managed net revenue was $15.2 billion, an increase of $3.6 billion, or 31%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $13.1 billion, up by $3.7 billion, or 39%, from the prior year, driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and wider loan spreads. These benefits were offset partially by higher revenue reversals associated with higher charge-offs and a decreased level of fees. Noninterest revenue was $2.0 billion, a decrease of $94 million, or 4%, from the prior year. The decline was driven by lower securitization income combined with an increase in the credit enhancement for securitization trusts, partially offset by higher merchant servicing revenue related to the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture and the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction.
The managed provision for credit losses was $14.2 billion, an increase of $8.1 billion from the prior year. The provision reflected a higher level of charge-offs and an increase of $2.0 billion in the allowance for loan losses in the current period, compared with an increase of $550 million in the prior year. The managed net charge-off rate was 9.32%, up from 4.79% in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, the managed net charge-off rate was 8.39%.
Noninterest expense was $4.0 billion, an increase of $334 million, or 9%, from the prior year, due to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture, partially offset by lower marketing expense.

(a)   JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed basis” to evaluate the credit performance and overall performance of the underlying credit card loans, both sold and not sold; as the same borrower is continuing to use the credit card for ongoing charges, a borrower’s credit performance will affect both the receivables sold and those not sold. Thus, in its disclosures regarding managed receivables, JPMorgan Chase treats the sold receivables as if they were still on the balance sheet in order to disclose the credit performance (such as net charge-off rates) of the entire managed credit card portfolio. Managed results exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on total net revenue, the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and loan receivables. Securitization does not change reported net income versus managed earnings; however, it does affect the classification of items on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Quarterly results
Net income was $341 million, an increase of $29 million, or 9%, from the third quarter of 2008. Higher net revenue, reflecting the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, was predominantly offset by a higher provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $1.5 billion, an increase of $334 million, or 30%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $985 million, up by $248 million, or 34%, driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction. Excluding Washington Mutual, net interest income was flat compared with the prior year, as spread compression on liability products and lower loan balances were offset by wider loan spreads, a shift to higher-spread liability products and overall growth in liability balances. Noninterest revenue was $474 million, an increase of $86 million, or 22%, reflecting higher lending- and deposit-related fees.
Revenue from Middle Market Banking was $771 million, an increase of $42 million, or 6%, from the prior year. Revenue from Commercial Term Lending (a new business resulting from the Washington Mutual transaction) was $232 million. Revenue from Mid-Corporate Banking was $278 million, an increase of $42 million, or 18%, from the prior year. Revenue from Real Estate Banking was $121 million, an increase of $30 million, or 33%, from the prior year due to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction.
The provision for credit losses was $355 million, compared with $126 million in the prior year, reflecting continued deterioration in the credit environment across all business segments, particularly real estate-related segments. Net charge-offs were $291 million (1.11% net charge-off rate), compared with $40 million (0.22% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. The allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained was 3.01%, up from 2.30% in the prior year. Nonperforming loans were $2.3 billion, up by $1.5 billion from the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $545 million, an increase of $59 million, or 12%, from the prior year, due to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher FDIC insurance premiums.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $1.0 billion, an increase of $88 million, or 9%, from the prior year, as higher net revenue reflecting the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction, was predominantly offset by a higher provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $4.3 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 31%, from the prior year. Net interest income of $3.0 billion increased by $767 million, or 35%, driven by the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction. Noninterest revenue was $1.4 billion, an increase of $249 million, or 23%, from the prior year, reflecting higher lending- and deposit-related fees and higher investment banking fees.
Revenue from Middle Market Banking was $2.3 billion, an increase of $152 million, or 7%, from the prior year. Revenue from Commercial Term Lending (a new business resulting from the Washington Mutual transaction) was $684 million. Mid-Corporate Banking revenue was $825 million, an increase of $147 million, or 22%. Real Estate Banking revenue was $361 million, an increase of $79 million, or 28%, due to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction.
The provision for credit losses was $960 million, compared with $274 million in the prior year, reflecting continued deterioration in the credit environment across all business segments. Net charge-offs were $606 million (0.75% net charge-off rate), compared with $170 million (0.32% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. The allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained was 3.01%, up from 2.30% in the prior year. Nonperforming loans were $2.3 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion from the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $1.6 billion, an increase of $186 million, or 13%, from the prior year, due to the impact of the Washington Mutual transaction and higher FDIC insurance premiums.

Quarterly results
Net income was $302 million, a decrease of $104 million, or 26%, from the third quarter of 2008. The decrease was driven by lower net revenue, offset partially by lower noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $1.8 billion, a decrease of $165 million, or 8%, from the prior year. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue was $869 million, a decrease of $138 million, or 14%. The decrease was driven by lower securities lending balances, primarily as a result of declines in asset valuations and demand, lower spreads and balances on liability products, and the effect of market depreciation on certain custody assets. Treasury Services net revenue was $919 million, a decrease of $27 million, or 3%. The decrease reflected spread compression on deposit products offset by higher trade revenue driven by wider spreads, and higher card product volumes. TSS firmwide net revenue, which includes net revenue recorded in other lines of business, was $2.5 billion, a decrease of $149 million, or 6%, primarily due to declines in Worldwide Securities Services. Treasury Services firmwide net revenue was $1.7 billion, flat compared with the prior year.
The provision for credit losses was $13 million, a decrease of $5 million from the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $1.3 billion, a decrease of $59 million, or 4%. The decrease reflected lower headcount-related expense, partially offset by higher FDIC insurance premiums.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $989 million, a decrease of $245 million, or 20%, from the prior year, driven by lower net revenue.
Net revenue was $5.5 billion, a decrease of $376 million, or 6%, from the prior year. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue was $2.7 billion, a decrease of $449 million, or 14%, from the prior year. The decrease was driven by lower securities lending balances, primarily as a result of declines in asset valuations and demand, as well as the effect of market depreciation on certain custody assets. Treasury Services net revenue was $2.8 billion, an increase of $73 million, or 3%, reflecting higher trade revenue driven by wider spreads and growth across cash management and card product volumes, partially offset by spread compression on deposit products. TSS firmwide net revenue, which includes net revenue recorded in other lines of business, was $7.7 billion, a decrease of $297 million, or 4%, compared with the prior year, primarily due to declines in Worldwide Securities Services. Treasury Services firmwide net revenue grew to $5.0 billion, an increase of $152 million, or 3%, from the prior year.
The provision for credit losses was $2 million, a decrease of $35 million from the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $3.9 billion, flat compared with the prior year, reflecting higher FDIC insurance premiums, offset by lower headcount-related expense.

Quarterly results
Net income was $430 million, an increase of $79 million, or 23%, from the third quarter of 2008, as higher net revenue and lower noninterest expense were offset partially by a higher provision for credit losses.
Net revenue was $2.1 billion, an increase of $124 million, or 6%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $1.7 billion, an increase of $100 million, or 6%, due to gains on the Firm’s seed capital investments and net inflows, largely offset by the effect of lower market levels and decreased placement fees. Net interest income was $404 million, up by $24 million, or 6%, from the prior year, due to wider loan spreads and higher deposit balances, largely offset by narrower deposit spreads and lower loan balances.
Revenue from the Private Bank was $639 million, up 1%, from the prior year. Revenue from Institutional was $534 million, up 10%. Revenue from Retail was $471 million, up 18%. Revenue from Private Wealth Management was $339 million, down 4%. Revenue from Bear Stearns Private Client Services was $102 million, up 10%.
The provision for credit losses was $38 million, an increase of $18 million from the prior year, reflecting continued deterioration in the credit environment.
Noninterest expense was $1.4 billion, down by $11 million, or 1%, from the prior year. The decrease was due to lower headcount-related expense, offset by higher performance-based compensation and higher FDIC insurance premiums.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $1.0 billion, a decrease of $96 million, or 9%, from the prior year, due to lower net revenue and a higher provision for credit losses offset partially by lower noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $5.8 billion, a decrease of $156 million, or 3%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $4.5 billion, a decrease of $325 million, or 7%, due to the effect of lower market levels, lower placement fees and lower performance fees; these effects were offset predominantly by gains on the Firm’s seed capital investments, the benefit from the Bear Stearns merger and net inflows. Net interest income was $1.2 billion, up by $169 million, or 16%, from the prior year, predominantly due to wider loan spreads and higher deposit balances, partially offset by lower loan balances.
Revenue from the Private Bank was $1.9 billion, down 4%, from the prior year. Revenue from Institutional was $1.5 billion, up 2%. Revenue from Retail was $1.1 billion, down 16%. Revenue from Private Wealth Management was $985 million, down 7%. Bear Stearns Private Client Services contributed $307 million to revenue.
The provision for credit losses was $130 million, an increase of $77 million from the prior year, reflecting continued deterioration in the credit environment.
Noninterest expense was $4.0 billion, a decrease of $82 million, or 2%, from the prior year due to lower headcount-related expense and lower performance-based compensation, offset predominantly by the effect of the Bear Stearns merger and higher FDIC insurance premiums.

Assets under supervision
Assets under supervision were $1.7 trillion, an increase of $108 billion, or 7%, from the prior year. Assets under management were $1.3 trillion, an increase of $106 billion, or 9%. The increases were due to inflows in liquidity, fixed income and equity products, partially offset by the effect of lower market levels and outflows in alternative products. Custody, brokerage, administration and deposit balances were $411 billion, up by $2 billion, due to brokerage inflows in the Private Bank, partially offset by the effect of lower market levels on custody and brokerage balances.

(d)   JPMorgan Chase acquired the banking operations of Washington Mutual Bank for $1.9 billion. The fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price, which resulted in negative goodwill. In accordance with U.S. GAAP for business combinations, nonfinancial assets that are not held-for-sale were written down against that negative goodwill. The negative goodwill that remained after writing down nonfinancial assets was recognized as an extraordinary gain. As a result of the final refinement of the purchase price allocation during the third quarter of 2009, the Firm recognized a $76 million increase in the extraordinary gain.
 
(e)   Included costs related to the Washington Mutual transaction, as well as items related to the Bear Stearns merger.
