(NYSE: NCC)
reported a net loss for the second quarter of 2008 of $1.8 billion, compared to a net loss of $171 million in the first quarter of 2008, and net income of $347 million in the second quarter a year ago. The net loss was $1.9 billion for the first half of 2008 compared to net income of $666 million in the first half of 2007.

The quarter and year-to-date loss was mainly driven by actions to increase loss reserves on liquidating mortgage loan portfolios and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.1 billion related to previous acquisitions. The second quarter provision for loan losses was $1.6 billion, of which $1.0 billion pertained to liquidating portfolios of brokered home equity, nonprime mortgage, and construction loans to individuals. The second quarter provision for loan losses included supplemental reserves of $478 million, specifically reflecting the difficult environment in the housing market.
Excluding unusual and non-operating items, pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings were $610 million in the second quarter of 2008, up 19% from $512 million in the first quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs of $740 million were predominantly in the liquidating portfolios and were less than half of the second quarter provision, resulting in a significant increase in the allowance for loan losses to 3.03% of portfolio loans. While the goodwill charge increased the reported net loss for the period, it had no effect on tangible equity, regulatory capital, or liquidity. As of June 30, 2008, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was approximately 11.08%, up from 6.67% at March 31, 2008 and significantly in excess of the well-capitalized minimum of 6%. Total risk-based capital was approximately 14.90% and tangible equity to assets was approximately 8.94% at June 30, 2008.

Reconciliation of Pre-Tax Pre-Provision Operating Earnings
Management has presented pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings in this release for purposes of additional analysis of operating results. Pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings, as defined by management, represents net (loss) income excluding income tax (benefit) expense, the provision for loan and recourse losses, as well as other unusual, nonrecurring or nonoperating items shown below. The following table reconciles pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings to consolidated net (loss)/income presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

However, management believes presenting pre-tax pre-provision operating earnings provides investors with the ability to understand the company's underlying operating trends.
Chairman's Comments
Chairman, President and CEO Peter E. Raskind commented, "In this very challenging environment, we have made significant progress during the quarter in strengthening our balance sheet, mitigating losses in our liquidating portfolios and positioning National City for long-term growth when the credit cycle turns. With the completion of our $7 billion capital raise, National City is by far the best capitalized bank among its peer group - and is the best capitalized of all major U.S. banks. We continue to generate strong pre- provision income, and we are confident that we have more than sufficient capital to ride out turbulent credit markets. We fully recognize that we need to improve performance. Our management team is aggressively executing on plans to manage risk, cut expenses, and improve profitability. We are sharpening our focus on our core businesses while continuing to serve customers as one of the leading banks in our region. We believe that the fundamental strengths of our business model will help drive a return to profitability. As we continue to work through the current credit market turbulence, we are building our core business through profitable relationship growth and expansion."
Significant Actions to Strengthen Operations and Manage Risks
National City has taken a number of other actions to re-focus its operations, cut costs, enhance risk management and strengthen its management team, including:
-- Restructuring the mortgage business under a new management team,
exiting all broker-based mortgage and home equity operations, closing
correspondent lending, reducing national home equity exposures, and
lowering mortgage headcount;
-- Sharpening focus of the core commercial banking business, including
curtailing out-of-footprint commercial real estate loans, reducing
credit-only or credit-heavy relationships, focusing on higher-return
relationships, and continuing to make significant investments in non-
credit capabilities such as treasury management services;
-- Continuing to build out and differentiate the retail franchise,
offering industry-leading products and services that are driving
household retention and expansion, while attracting new customer
relationships. This includes "Points from National City," the most
comprehensive banking rewards program in the industry; a checking
product line that waives ATM fees; and Work Perks, National City's
"bank at work" program;
-- Appointing new senior executives - including a chief risk officer and
new heads of the mortgage and corporate banking units - as well as a
new board member.
-- Initiating a search for a new CFO as well as for two new directors to
join the National City Board;
-- Ongoing review of potential troubled asset disposition opportunities to
the extent such transactions make economic sense; and
-- Making significant investments in risk management processes, talent and
technology.
"We believe we have clearly identified and segregated our portfolio of non-core assets and have much better visibility regarding loss estimates than we did earlier this year. As a result, we expect the provision for loan losses to decline in the second half of 2008. Our liquidating portfolios are isolated and contained, and are performing in line with expectations. More importantly, we are making progress in reducing the size of the liquidating portfolio and mitigating associated losses," continued Raskind. "National City was among the first in our peer group to raise capital and build reserves. Our strong capital position not only enables us to fully address the ongoing challenges in the credit and housing markets, but also allows us to continue investing in and growing our core businesses, which continue to be profitable."

Net Interest Income
Tax-equivalent net interest income was $1.0 billion for the second quarter of 2008, down about 5% compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and down 7% compared to the second quarter a year ago due to lower net interest margin. Net interest margin was 2.97% in the second quarter of 2008, 3.18% in the first quarter of 2008, and 3.59% in the second quarter a year ago. The lower margin in the second quarter 2008 reflects higher levels of nonperforming loans, as well as lower interest rates, which moved loan yields more than funding costs. Average earning assets for the second quarter of 2008 were $137.8 billion, up 2% compared to the preceding quarter, and up 13% compared to the second quarter a year ago, largely due to an acquisition completed in the last half of 2007.
Tax-equivalent net interest income was $2.1 billion for the first half of 2008, down 6% compared to the prior year. Net interest margin was 3.08% for the first half of 2008 compared to 3.64% in the first half of 2007. The lower margin in 2008 is attributable to the same factors previously described. Average earning assets were $136.2 billion in the first half of 2008, up 12% from the same period a year ago.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2008, $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2008, and $145 million in the second quarter of 2007. The larger provision for loan losses reflects additional loss reserves for loans secured by residential real estate, inclusive of a $478 million supplemental reserve on liquidating portfolios of construction loans to individuals and broker-sourced nonprime mortgage and home equity loans. On a year-to-date basis, the provision for loan losses was $3.0 billion in 2008 compared to $267 million in 2007.
Net charge-offs were $740 million in the second quarter of 2008, $538 million in the first quarter of 2008, and $98 million in the second quarter of last year, with the increase mainly in the liquidating portfolios. Net charge-offs in the core portfolio were $213 million in the second quarter versus $166 million in the first quarter primarily due to increased losses in commercial construction; both commercial and branch home equity charge-offs were fairly stable. Net charge-offs for the liquidating portfolio were $527 million, up $155 million from first quarter 2008 due to higher write-offs of construction loans to individuals, reflecting higher loss severities. On a year-to-date basis, net charge-offs were $1.3 billion in 2008 and $245 million in 2007.
The Corporation's liquidating loan portfolios are managed separately from the core portfolio. The core portfolio consists of commercial and consumer loans associated with ongoing businesses. The liquidating loan portfolios consist of consumer loans associated with products and/or origination channels that have been exited, specifically broker-sourced nonprime mortgage loans, broker-sourced home equity lines and loans, construction loans to individuals, and indirect automobile, marine and recreational vehicle loans. The following tables show the provision for loan losses and net charge-offs for the core portfolio separately from the liquidating portfolios.

Loans 90 days past due were $1.2 billion at June 30, 2008, down 12% from March 31, 2008 due primarily to lower levels of past due nonprime mortgage loans, as this portfolio continues to runoff. Nonperforming assets were approximately $3.1 billion at June 30, 2008, up 14% from the preceding quarter, with the growth primarily in mortgage- and broker-sourced home equity loans, as well as commercial construction loans to residential real estate developers. Commercial and industrial nonperforming loans were flat. The table shown below reports these measures for the core and liquidating loan portfolios.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $431 million in the second quarter of 2008, $1.1
billion in the first quarter of 2008, and $764 million in the second quarter a
year ago. The decline in second quarter resulted from mortgage servicing
right (MSR) hedging losses of $146 million, a mortgage recourse provision of
$215 million, and a $532 million gain on the partial redemption of Visa shares
in the first quarter of 2008. On a year-to-date basis, noninterest income was
$1.6 billion in the first half of 2008 compared to $1.4 billion in the first
half of 2007.

Deposit service fees were $260 million in the second quarter of 2008, up 13% compared to the first quarter and 17% compared to the second quarter a year ago. On a year-to-date basis, deposit service fees were $490 million, up 15% from the same period last year. The growth compared to the preceding quarter reflects higher fee generating transaction volumes, as the first quarter of the year generally has seasonally lower volumes of overdraft and nonsufficient funds transactions. The growth in deposit service fees compared to a year ago reflects continued growth in the number of deposit accounts, including the effect of an acquisition completed in the last half of 2007.
Loan sale (loss) revenue was $(94) million in the second quarter of 2008, $89 million in the first quarter of 2008, and $110 million in the second quarter a year ago. The loss from loan sales in the second quarter of 2008 resulted from a provision for potential recourse losses of $215 million related to mortgage and home equity loan repurchases. The mortgage recourse reserve increased to $364 million at June 30, 2008, up $168 million compared to March 31, 2008. On a year-to-date basis, loan sale (loss) revenue was $(5) million in 2008 and $185 million in 2007. On a year-over-year basis, loan sale revenue has declined due to lower originations as the Corporation has exited certain products and origination channels, as well as the larger provision for potential losses on mortgage loan repurchases.
Loan servicing (loss) revenue was $(47) million in the second quarter of 2008, $16 million in the first quarter of 2008, and $96 million in the second quarter a year ago. This decrease primarily reflects net MSR hedging (losses)/gains of $(146) million in the second quarter of 2008, $(59) million in the first quarter of 2008, and $10 million in the second quarter a year ago. On a year-to-date basis, loan servicing losses were $(31) million in the first half of 2008, inclusive of $(205) million of net MSR hedging losses, compared to loan servicing revenue of $128 million in the first half of 2007, inclusive of $(39) million of net MSR hedging losses.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2008, $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2008, and $1.2 billion in the second quarter a year ago. Noninterest expense was $3.3 billion for the first half of 2008 compared to $2.3 billion in the first half of 2007, with the increase due mainly to a goodwill impairment charge of $1.1 billion associated with previous acquisitions. Noninterest expense for the first quarter and first half of 2008 benefited from the release of $240 million of Visa indemnification liabilities.

*Goodwill impairment and Visa indemnification included within impairment, fraud and other losses.
Personnel costs decreased about 6% compared to the preceding quarter, and 4% compared to the second quarter a year earlier, due to reductions in staffing and lower business volumes, particularly in the mortgage business. Full-time equivalent employees were 30,302 at June 30, 2008 versus 30,841 at March 31, 2008, and 32,445 at June 30, 2007. On a year-to-date basis, personnel costs were about the same for the first half of 2008 and 2007. Cost savings from reduced staffing levels in 2008 were offset by lower deferrals of loan origination costs resulting from the adoption of fair value for certain loans held for sale at the beginning of the year.
Foreclosure costs increased to $61 million in the second quarter, up $12 million from the immediately preceding quarter, and $48 million versus the second quarter a year ago. On a year-to-date basis, foreclosure costs were $110 million in the first half of 2008, up $87 million from the first half of 2007. Foreclosure costs have increased significantly due to more loans proceeding to foreclosure, as well as higher losses realized upon sale of foreclosed properties as a result of declining property values.
All other noninterest expenses were relatively stable between periods as management has worked to control costs.
Balance Sheet
Loans
Average portfolio loans were $114.1 billion in the second quarter of 2008, $115.4 billion in the preceding quarter and $99.7 billion in the second quarter a year ago. The table shown below summarizes the average balances for both the core and liquidating portfolios, as well as loans held for sale.

Total portfolio loans 114,065 115,379 99,689
Loans held-for-sale 3,075 4,494 12,615
Continued runoff of the liquidating loan portfolio due to paydowns and charge-offs, as well as a credit card securitization of $374 million, resulted in a somewhat smaller average loan portfolio compared to the preceding quarter. Compared to second quarter a year ago, portfolio loan growth was driven by growth in commercial loans, a late 2007 acquisition, and transfers of formerly held for sale loans to portfolio. Average loans held-for-sale were $3.1 billion in the second quarter of 2008, down $1.4 billion compared to the preceding quarter, and down $9.5 billion compared to the second quarter a year ago. The lower levels of loans held-for-sale reflects the curtailment of certain mortgage and home equity products and origination channels.
Deposits
Average total deposits were $99.6 billion in the second quarter of 2008, up $2 billion compared to the preceding quarter, and up $9.5 billion compared to the second quarter a year ago. Average core deposits, excluding mortgage escrow and custodial balances, were $84.3 billion in the second quarter of 2008, up $1.1 billion compared to the first quarter of 2008, and up $10.3 billion compared to the second quarter a year ago. Core deposits have increased with continued household growth and expansion as well as a late 2007 acquisition.
Capital
Total stockholders' equity was $18.0 billion at June 30, 2008 and tangible stockholders' equity was $13.3 billion, up $5.9 billion compared to March 31, 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, the Corporation raised $7.0 billion of equity capital by issuing common and contingently convertible preferred shares. The contingently convertible preferred shares will automatically convert into common shares five business days after stockholder approval. The shareholder meeting is scheduled for September 15, 2008.
