(1) If the strike price of the convertible preferred security is less than the market price at the time of issuance, then the aggregate difference is treated as a dividend in the numerator for the diluted EPS calculation. This increased our loss per fully diluted share by $0.73 from $(2.12) to $(2.85). This information is provided to facilitate the comparison to prior periods' earnings per diluted share.

"Countrywide's results for the third quarter of 2007 reflect the impact of unprecedented disruptions in the U.S. mortgage market and the global capital markets, as well as continued weakening in the housing market," said Angelo R. Mozilo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "However, during the period we also laid the foundation for a return to profitability in the fourth quarter. Countrywide has responded decisively and taken the steps we believe are necessary to address the current challenging market environment. During the quarter, the Company stabilized its liquidity, strengthened its capital position, significantly tightened its loan program and underwriting guidelines, and began the process of right-sizing operations for today's lower volume mortgage market. We have accelerated the integration of our mortgage banking operations into Countrywide Bank, a strategy which we believe provides a more stable and reliable funding model to support our core lending business. We believe the steps which we have taken position the Company with the necessary capital and liquidity for our operating and growth needs, and will allow us to benefit from opportunities that result from industry consolidation.

"The successful integration of our mortgage lending operations into Countrywide Bank and the resulting change in the funding strategy for our core business represents an important paradigm change for the Company that will strengthen our business model, and provides the foundation for enhancing our competitiveness and reducing our risks going forward," Mozilo explained. "During September, Bank fundings approached 90 percent of total fundings. The Bank, which is presently the 3rd largest Federal Savings Bank in the nation, is strongly positioned for this transition with $8.9 billion or 7.3 percent of total Tier 1 capital at September 30, 2007. Furthermore, the Bank's efficient and scalable deposit franchise is poised for growth from its current level of $60 billion in total deposits, with 150 financial centers open currently and expectations for total financial centers to exceed 200 by year-end."

"The Company's net loss for the third quarter, our first quarterly loss in 25 years, resulted primarily from three factors: inventory valuation adjustments caused by unprecedented disruption in the capital markets and the abrupt loss in demand for non-agency loans and securities; increased credit costs related to continued deterioration in the housing market; and restructuring charges resulting from Countrywide's expense reduction initiatives," said David Sambol, President and Chief Operating Officer. "For the most part, management views these charges to be either non-recurring in nature, or to represent significant increases to valuation adjustments for future losses not yet incurred and to reserves.

"We view the third quarter of 2007 as an earnings trough, and anticipate that the Company will be profitable in the fourth quarter and in 2008," Sambol concluded. "Over the longer term, we believe that prospects for the U.S. housing and mortgage markets, as well as for Countrywide, remain very attractive."

SIGNIFICANT THIRD QUARTER ISSUES

Inventory Valuation Adjustments

During the quarter, disruption in the capital markets caused a severe lack of liquidity for non-agency loans and mortgage-backed securities which resulted in losses on the sale or writedowns of such loans and securities that aggregated to approximately $1.0 billion. Approximately $12 billion of non- agency loans were moved to the Company's held-for-investment (HFI) portfolio after their writedown.

Credit-Related Costs

Increased estimates of future defaults and charge-offs resulted in significant increases to credit costs during the third quarter of 2007. Higher estimates for future defaults and related losses were attributable to continued deterioration in housing market conditions, worsening delinquency trends, and the significant tightening of available credit which occurred during the third quarter and which is expected to further adversely impact credit performance. The revised expectations relative to future credit losses impacted third quarter results as follows:

-- Increased loan loss provisions on the HFI portfolio of $934 million, compared to $293 million last quarter and $38 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase in provision during the quarter primarily relates to additional reserves provided for the Company's junior lien home equity and pay option loans in the Banking Operations HFI portfolio.

-- Impairment of Credit-Sensitive Residuals of $690 million, compared to impairment of $417 million last quarter and recovery of $27 million in the third quarter of 2006. Third quarter 2007 impairment includes $541 million for prime junior lien home equity residuals and $156 million for subprime and related residuals, offset by a recovery of $7 million on prime residual securities.

-- Increased provision for representations and warranties in the amount of $291 million, compared to $79 million last quarter and $41 million in the third quarter of 2006. This increase relates to increased expectations of future representation and warranty claims on loans sold or securitized resulting from higher levels of expected future defaults.

Restructuring Charges

Weakness in the housing market and tightening in the mortgage credit market are expected to substantially reduce industry and Countrywide origination volume in 2007 and 2008 relative to earlier volumes. As a result, during the third quarter Countrywide announced a plan to reduce headcount by 10,000 to 12,000 people before the end of 2007 in response to the expected decline in volume. The charge taken in the third quarter of 2007 related to the Company's restructuring efforts was $57 million. Approximately $70 million to $90 million of additional restructuring charges will be recorded, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2007.

BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

Mortgage Banking -- Loan Production

The Loan Production sector is comprised of the following distribution channels: consumer-direct lending through Countrywide Home Loans' 921-branch retail system, call center operations and the Internet; wholesale lending through a network of mortgage brokers; and correspondent lending which buys closed loans from other financial institutions such as independent mortgage companies, commercial banks, savings and loans and credit unions. The sector also includes the mortgage banking activities of Countrywide Bank.

The Loan Production sector incurred a pre-tax loss of $1.3 billion, compared to pre-tax profit of $439 million last quarter and $281 million in the third quarter of 2006. The third quarter loss primarily resulted from the disruption in the secondary markets during the quarter for non-agency loans, and the resulting illiquidity and credit spread widening on such loans. Net inventory valuation and pipeline writedowns approximated $691 million during the quarter. Additionally, anticipated gain-on-sale margins at the time of borrower pricing on these loans was not realized, while origination expenses related to the loans were nevertheless incurred during the quarter.

An additional factor impacting third quarter results was a substantial decrease in loan production to $90 billion, compared to $123 billion last quarter and $106 billion in the third quarter of 2006. This decline reflects a smaller origination market in the latter stages of the quarter, which is largely attributable to the tightening of underwriting and loan program guidelines throughout the industry as well as economic conditions. The third quarter volume decline occurred before the benefits of any expense reduction efforts associated with the Company's right-sizing initiatives were realized.

Mortgage Banking -- Loan Servicing

The Loan Servicing sector reflects the performance of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and retained interests associated with Countrywide's owned servicing portfolio. Countrywide also manages a financial hedge within the Loan Servicing sector to mitigate negative valuation changes in MSRs and retained interests. The table below summarizes the Loan Servicing sector results of operations for the third quarter of 2007.

Before the impact of valuation adjustments to credit-sensitive residuals, Loan Servicing sector pre-tax earnings were $681 million during the third quarter of 2007 compared to $270 million and $97 million in the second quarter of 2007 and third quarter of 2006, respectively. Loan Servicing sector pre-tax earnings, before valuation adjustments of credit-sensitive retained interests, benefited from slower prepayment speeds during the quarter which were largely driven by the same factors that negatively impacted the Loan Production sector: lower levels of housing turnover and lesser refinance activity due to weakening housing market conditions, reduced secondary market liquidity and tighter underwriting guidelines. Slower prepayment speeds positively impacted Loan Servicing sector operating earnings and had a favorable impact on the valuation of the MSR portfolio, net of servicing hedge.

Operating earnings for the sector improved to $764 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $608 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $518 million in the third quarter of 2006. Additionally, the valuation change of MSRs, net of servicing hedge performance was a positive $343 million in the quarter, despite a 44 basis point reduction in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield during the quarter. This compares to valuation changes of MSRs, net of hedge performance, of a negative $47 million and a negative $257 million in the prior quarter and year-over-year quarter, respectively. Absent a material improvement in housing market conditions or a reduction in interest rates, management anticipates that the Loan Servicing sector operating earnings will continue to benefit from slower levels of prepayment speeds.

Offsetting improved operating earnings and MSR asset performance, Loan Servicing sector results were negatively impacted by impairment charges of $690 million to the carrying values of the Company's credit-sensitive residual securities. The writedown applicable to home equity residuals during the quarter was $541 million, and the writedown applicable to subprime and related residuals was $156 million, offset by a recovery of $7 million on prime residual securities. These impairment charges resulted from both increases in estimates of future credit losses on the underlying loans as well as increased discount rates reflecting higher market yield requirements on these investments. The aggregate carrying value of the Company's investments in credit-sensitive residuals at September 30, 2007 was $892 million, compared to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2007 and $2.1 billion at September 30, 2006.

Banking

The Banking segment includes Banking Operations (primarily the fee and investment activities of Countrywide Bank, FSB) and Countrywide Warehouse Lending, a provider of mortgage inventory financing to independent mortgage bankers. Countrywide Bank ("Bank") provides Countrywide with expanded product capabilities, a lower cost source of funds, alternate sources of liquidity, and portfolio lending capabilities. The Bank invests primarily in prime-quality residential mortgage loans sourced from the Loan Production sector and the secondary market. It funds these assets through various means including its retail deposit franchise, which is currently comprised of an expanding national financial center network of 150 locations (most of which are located in existing Countrywide retail offices), call centers, and Internet presence. The Bank also supplements its deposit base with a variety of wholesale funding activities.

During the third quarter of 2007, Banking Operations incurred a pre-tax loss of $389 million, compared to pre-tax income of $136 million last quarter and $378 million in the third quarter of 2006. The loss in the current quarter was primarily driven by a significant addition to loan loss reserves in anticipation of higher future charge-offs. As a result, the provision for credit losses in the third quarter was $784 million, compared to $246 million in the prior sequential quarter and $28 million in the prior year quarter. During the third quarter of 2007, net charge-offs in Banking Operations were $126 million, which compares to $109 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $6 million in the third quarter of 2006. The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2007 grew to $1.1 billion from $469 million at June 30, 2007. This reserve is supplemented by credit enhancement covering 71 percent of the pay option portfolio and 12 percent of the home equity portfolio as of September 30, 2007. Year-to-date, the Banking Operations sector has reported pre-tax income of $42 million despite unprecedented housing and capital markets disruption, which has required significant provisions to cover increased charge-offs and build reserves by $890 million.

Banking Operations grew the HFI loan portfolio by $11.8 billion in the third quarter, driving an increase in net interest income of $67 million, due primarily to additions of approximately $16.2 billion of attractive-yielding loans to the HFI portfolio. Strong retail deposit growth in September 2007 substantially offset outflows experienced in August 2007, while net consumer accounts grew by approximately 9 percent in the third quarter. Retail deposit growth continues to climb to record levels in October 2007 due to the Bank's expanding physical distribution, increased promotion, and competitive pricing, facilitated by a unique, scalable, and efficient operating model.

The Capital Markets segment incurred a pre-tax loss of $344 million in the third quarter, compared to pre-tax earnings of $110 million last quarter and $141 million in the third quarter of 2006. Third quarter results for the segment were also adversely affected by significant secondary market disruptions during the quarter. These disruptions resulted in volume decreases in each of the segment's trading operations and particularly the non-agency conduit businesses and also resulted in inventory writedowns and losses from sales at depressed prices.

Insurance

Countrywide's Insurance segment includes Balboa Insurance Group, whose companies are national providers of property, life and casualty insurance; and Balboa Reinsurance Company, a captive mortgage guaranty reinsurance company.

    (1) Numbers may not total exactly due to rounding.


For the third quarter of 2007, Insurance segment pre-tax earnings were $150 million, compared to $99 million last quarter and $91 million in the third quarter of 2006. Earnings growth at both the mortgage reinsurance and life and casualty businesses was driven by continued growth in net earned premiums. Growth strategies being pursued in the Insurance segment include expansion of its voluntary auto insurance business and the development of a local agent sales force linked to Countrywide Home Loans' branches as well as continued growth of Balboa's dominant position in the lender placed auto and property businesses.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

Countrywide's Board of Directors declared dividends of $785.42 per share on its Series B preferred stock and $0.15 per common share. The preferred stock dividend is payable on November 15, 2007 and the common stock dividend is payable on November 30, 2007 to common stock shareholders of record on November 13, 2007.

MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK

Management expects continued weakness in the housing markets in the near-term and absent declining interest rates, lower mortgage market origination volumes are anticipated for the remainder of 2007 and for 2008 as a result. Furthermore, the Company expects its credit costs to remain at elevated levels through 2008 as a result of environmental conditions. Despite these expectations of continued industry challenges, management expects the Company to be profitable in the fourth quarter of 2007 and in 2008. Longer term, management believes that changes that it has made in this quarter enhance the stability of the Company and lessen the risks from further environmental disruptions. Management also believes that many opportunities will present themselves to the Company as a result of the market transition taking place, and that the Company is well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Countrywide's consolidated earnings are expected to range between $0.25 and $0.75 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2007. The wide range in the guidance is caused by the significant potential volatility related to the following factors: general market conditions; MSR valuation and hedge performance; residual valuation; credit performance; secondary market liquidity; and Lower of Cost or Market adjustment of inventory. For 2008, the Company currently expects its return on equity to range between 10 percent and 15 percent. The earnings estimates and assumptions and other projections provided in this press release should be considered forward-looking statements and readers are directed to the information contained in the disclaimer provided herein.

    (1) Delinquencies are based on outstanding loan balances and include loans
        in foreclosure and are calculated using the MBA method.  Using the OTS
        method, total delinquency ratios would have been 4.01% at
        September 30, 2007; 3.12% at June 30, 2007; and 2.17% at September 30,
        2006. In the OTS method, a loan increases its delinquency status if a
        monthly payment is not received by the loan's due date in the
        following month. In the MBA method, a loan increases its delinquency
        status if a monthly payment is not received by the end of the day
        immediately preceding the loan's next due date.
