E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:ETFC) today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015, reporting net income of $40 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to $41 million, or $0.14 per share, from the prior quarter. Excluding pre-tax losses on early extinguishment of corporate debt of $73 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $59 million in the prior quarter, net income would have been $85 million(1), or $0.29 per share(1), and $78 million(1) or $0.26 per share(1). This also compares with net income of $97 million, or $0.33 per share in the first quarter of 2014. Total net revenue of $456 million decreased from $461 million in the prior quarter and $475 million in the first quarter of 2014.

“Our year is off to a solid start on several fronts,” said Paul Idzik, Chief Executive Officer. “Our core business is strong and growing stronger, demonstrated by healthy trading levels, record high margin balances and continued growth in accounts and assets. The key regulatory approvals we announced at the beginning of the year enabled us to reduce our corporate debt to our target level of $1 billion. We will ultimately have more than a few options for further capital deployment as the team’s hard work has led to a level of capital flexibility this company hasn’t seen in years. As we move forward I can promise we will never stop focusing on two things: our customer experience, and on being a good and faithful steward of capital for our owners.”

E*TRADE reported DARTs of 170,000 during the quarter, an increase of one percent from the prior quarter and a decrease of 14 percent versus the same quarter a year ago.

The Company ended the quarter with 3.2 million brokerage accounts, an increase of 39,000 from the prior quarter. This compared with 17,000 net new brokerage accounts in the prior quarter and 72,000 in the first quarter of 2014. Brokerage account attrition for the first quarter was 8.8 percent annualized.

The Company ended the quarter with $299 billion in total customer assets, compared with $290 billion at the end of the prior quarter and $269 billion from a year ago.

During the quarter, customers added $3.5 billion in net new brokerage assets, representing an annualized growth rate of 5.7 percent. Brokerage related cash increased by $0.5 billion to $41.6 billion during the first quarter. Customers were net buyers of approximately $3.1 billion of securities. Margin receivables averaged $7.9 billion in the quarter, flat with the prior quarter and up 14 percent year over year, ending the quarter at $8.2 billion.

Corporate cash ended the quarter at $258 million(2), an increase of $25 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to a $434 million dividend from E*TRADE Securities and a $75 million dividend from the bank, offset by the use of $432 million to reduce and refinance corporate debt.

Net operating interest income(3) for the first quarter was $271 million, down from $279 million in the prior quarter and up from $263 million a year ago. First quarter results reflected a net interest spread of 2.62 percent on average interest-earning assets of $41.1 billion, compared with 2.69 percent on $40.9 billion in the prior quarter and 2.47 percent on $42.1 billion in the first quarter of 2014.

Commissions, fees and service charges(3), and other revenue in the first quarter were $176 million, flat with the prior quarter and down from $187 million in the first quarter of 2014. Average commission per trade for the quarter was $10.94, compared with $10.84 in the prior quarter, and $10.64 in the first quarter of 2014.

Total net revenue in the quarter also included $9 million of net gains on loans and securities. This compared with $6 million in the prior quarter and $15 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Total operating expenses in the quarter of $300 million increased $6 million sequentially, and increased $10 million from the year ago period.

In March 2015, the Company completed a transaction to reduce and refinance a portion of its corporate debt. The issuance of $460 million of 4.625% Senior Notes due 2023, along with approximately $432 million of corporate cash were used to redeem $800 million of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2019. The transaction, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $73 million on early extinguishment of debt, reduced the Company’s debt burden by $340 million and lowered its annual debt service costs by approximately $30 million on a pre-tax basis.

The Company’s loan portfolio ended the quarter at $6.1 billion, contracting approximately $0.3 billion from the prior quarter. First quarter provision for loan losses of $5 million decreased from $10 million in the previous quarter.

Net charge-offs in the quarter were $7 million, flat with the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses ended the quarter at $402 million, down $2 million from the previous quarter.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company reported bank and consolidated Tier 1 leverage ratios under the Basel III Standardized Approach of 9.8 percent(4) and 8.4 percent(5). In the previous quarter the Company reported bank and consolidated Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.6 percent(4) and 8.1 percent(5) prior to the implementation of Basel III and the move of E*TRADE Securities.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Metrics

Management believes that net income and EPS excluding the loss on the early extinguishment of corporate debt, corporate cash, tangible book value per share, EBITDA, interest coverage, E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 common ratio and E*TRADE Financial capital ratios calculated prior to Basel III becoming effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 are appropriate measures for evaluating the operating and liquidity performance of the Company. Management believes that adjusting GAAP measures by excluding or including certain items is helpful to investors and analysts who may wish to use some or all of this information to analyze the Company’s current performance, prospects and valuation. Management uses non-GAAP information internally to evaluate operating performance and in formulating the budget for future periods.

Net Income and EPS Excluding the Loss on Early Extinguishment of Corporate Debt

Management believes that excluding the loss on the early extinguishment of corporate debt from net income and EPS provides useful additional measures of the Company’s ongoing operating performance because the charge is not directly related to our performance. See endnote (1) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Corporate Cash

Corporate cash represents cash held at the parent company as well as cash held in certain subsidiaries that can distribute cash to the parent company without any regulatory approval. The Company believes that corporate cash is a useful measure of the parent company’s liquidity as it is the primary source of capital above and beyond the capital deployed in regulated subsidiaries. See endnote (2) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Tangible Book Value per Share

Tangible book value per share represents shareholders’ equity less goodwill (net of related deferred tax liability) and other intangible assets divided by common stock outstanding. The Company believes that tangible book value per share is a measure of the Company’s capital strength. See endnote (9) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before taxes, depreciation and amortization and corporate interest expense. Management believes that EBITDA provides a useful additional measure of the Company’s performance by excluding certain non-cash charges and expenses that are not directly related to the performance of the business. See the table entitled “Key Performance Metrics” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage represents EBITDA divided by corporate interest expense. Management believes that by excluding the charges and expenses that are excluded from EBITDA, interest coverage provides a useful additional measure of the Company’s ability to continue to meet interest obligations and liquidity needs. See endnote (11) for a calculation of this non-GAAP measure on a GAAP basis.

E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 Common Ratio and E*TRADE Financial Capital Ratios

Prior to Basel III becoming effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, E*TRADE Financial capital ratios, including Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios, were based on the Federal Reserve regulatory minimum well-capitalized threshold. E*TRADE Bank’s and E*TRADE Financial’s Tier 1 common ratios were defined as the Tier 1 capital less elements of Tier 1 capital that are not in the form of common equity, such as trust preferred securities, divided by total risk-weighted assets. Management believes these capital ratios are an important measure of E*TRADE Bank’s and the Company’s capital strength. See endnotes (4) and (5) for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures.

It is important to note these metrics and other non-GAAP measures may involve judgment by management and should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or superior to, net income, consolidated statements of cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information on the adjustments to these non-GAAP measures, please see the Company’s financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” that will be included in the periodic report the Company expects to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods discussed herein.

Prior to the E*TRADE Securities move out from under E*TRADE Bank in February 2015, E*TRADE Securities' cash was included in the "Bank cash" line item.

(3) Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company reclassified the revenue earned on customer assets held by third parties from operating interest income to fees and service charges. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

(4) E*TRADE Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and Common Equity Tier 1 ratios are preliminary for the current period. Prior to Basel III becoming effective for E*TRADE Bank on January 1, 2015, E*TRADE Bank’s Tier 1 common ratio was a non-GAAP measure that management believes is an important measure of capital strength. Common Equity Tier 1 capital under Basel III replaced Tier 1 common capital. E*TRADE Bank’s capital ratios are calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

(a) Amounts presented for E*TRADE Bank exclude E*TRADE Securities as of February 1, 2015. We recently received regulatory approval to move both E*TRADE Clearing and E*TRADE Securities out from under E*TRADE Bank. E*TRADE Securities was moved from under E*TRADE Bank effective February 1, 2015 and we plan to move E*TRADE Clearing later in 2015.
(b) Common Equity Tier 1 capital under Basel III replaced Tier 1 common capital.
(c) As of March 31, 2015, E*TRADE Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio was calculated using average total assets. Prior to Basel III becoming effective for E*TRADE Bank, E*TRADE Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio was calculated using end of period total assets.
(d) Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total risk-weighted assets.

(5) E*TRADE Financial’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and Common Equity Tier 1 ratios are preliminary for the current period. Prior to Basel III becoming effective for E*TRADE Financial on January 1, 2015, E*TRADE Financial’s capital ratios were based on the Federal Reserve’s well-capitalized requirements as management believes these ratios are an important measure of the Company's capital strength and managed capital against ratios then applicable to bank holding companies in preparation for the application of these requirements. Common Equity Tier 1 capital under Basel III replaced Tier 1 common capital. E*TRADE Financial’s capital ratios are calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

(a) As a result of applying the transition provisions under Basel III, the Company included 25% of the TRUPs in the calculation of E*TRADE Financial’s Tier 1 capital and 75% of the TRUPs in the calculation of E*TRADE Financial’s total capital. Prior to Basel III becoming effective for E*TRADE Financial, the Company included 100% of the TRUPs in E*TRADE Financial’s Tier 1 capital due to the regulatory agencies’ delay in the implementation of the TRUPs phase-out until January 1, 2015.
(b) Common Equity Tier 1 capital under Basel III replaced Tier 1 common capital.
(c) Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total risk-weighted assets.

(6) Reflects elimination of transactions between Trading and Investing and Balance Sheet Management segments, which includes deposit and intercompany transfer pricing arrangements.

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

(8) Operating margin is the percentage of net revenue that results in income before other income (expense) and income taxes. The percentage is calculated by dividing income before other income (expense) and income taxes by total net revenue.

(9) The following tables provide a reconciliation of GAAP book value and book value per share to non-GAAP tangible book value and tangible book value per share at period end (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

Q1 2015Q4 2014Q1 2014
Book value $ 5,453 $ 5,375 $ 5,032

Tangible book value per share $ 13.38 $ 13.08 $ 11.76

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

(11) Interest coverage represents the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA to its corporate interest expense. The interest coverage ratio calculated based on the Company’s net income to its corporate interest expense was 1.9, 1.5, and 3.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2014, respectively.

(12) E*TRADE Bank net income is calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

Q1 2015Q4 2014Q1 2014
Total net revenue $ 296 $ 448 $ 456
Provision for loan losses 5 10 4
Total operating expenses 138 254 253

Income before income taxes 152 182 187
Income tax expense 60 70 71
Net income $ 92 $ 112 $ 116

(13) The brokerage account attrition rate is calculated by dividing attriting brokerage accounts, which are gross new brokerage accounts less net new brokerage accounts, by total brokerage accounts at the previous period end. This rate is presented on an annualized basis.

(14) Customer assets held by third parties are held outside E*TRADE Financial and include money market funds and sweep deposit accounts at unaffiliated financial institutions. Customer assets held by third parties are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and are not immediately available for liquidity purposes. However, we maintain the ability to bring the majority of these customer assets back on-balance sheet with appropriate notification to the third party financial institutions and customer consent, as appropriate. The following table provides details of customer assets held by third parties (dollars in billions):
