^(*)	The Firm also recognized a $691 million pretax net loss ($0.11 per share after-tax), including hedges, from credit valuation adjustments ("CVA") on derivative assets, due to the widening of credit spreads for the Firm's counterparties. The Firm actively manages its exposure to CVA.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) today reported third-quarter 2011 net income of $4.3 billion, compared with net income of $4.4 billion in the third quarter of 2010. Earnings per share were $1.02, compared with $1.01 in the third quarter of 2010.

Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The Firm reported third-quarter net income of $4.3 billion, representing a 13% return on tangible common equity¹. It is notable that these results included several significant items^(*), including a $542 million pretax loss in Private Equity, $1.0 billion pretax of additional litigation expense in Corporate and a $1.9 billion pretax DVA gain. The DVA gain reflects an adjustment for the widening of the Firm’s credit spreads which could reverse in future periods and does not relate to the underlying operations of the company. All things considered, we believe the Firm’s returns were reasonable given the current environment.”

Further commenting on business results, Dimon said: “The Investment Bank’s revenue, excluding the DVA gain, was down substantially; however, we are gratified that the business maintained its #1 ranking in Global Investment Banking Fees, and we believe that we have maintained a healthy share of the global sales and trading market. Retail Financial Services demonstrated good underlying performance, with solid revenue and increased deposits in Consumer & Business Banking and strong retail mortgage origination volumes in our Mortgage Banking business. In our Card business, credit card sales volume, excluding Commercial Card, was up 10% compared with the prior year. Commercial Banking reported continued loan growth, including middle-market loan balances up 18% compared with the prior year, and record deposit² balances of $180.3 billion were up 31% compared with the prior year. In Treasury & Securities Services, trade finance loans increased 69% to $30.1 billion, and deposit² balances increased 41% to $341.1 billion. Corporate/Private Equity results were negatively affected by market conditions, the Firm’s decision to take certain positions in its securities portfolio in anticipation of an eventual increase in interest rates, and additional litigation expense.”

Dimon continued: “Mortgage net charge-offs improved slightly but remained at extremely high levels. We expect mortgage credit losses to remain elevated. The Firm remains committed to helping homeowners and preventing foreclosures. Since the beginning of 2009, we have offered 1,224,000 trial modifications to struggling homeowners. With respect to our Chase credit card portfolio, the net charge-off rate¹ improved to 4.34% and may continue to improve modestly over the next quarter or so. After that we currently would not expect much improvement. Wholesale credit trends remained healthy and stable.”

Regarding the balance sheet, Dimon commented: “We maintained our fortress balance sheet, ending the third quarter with a Basel I Tier 1 Common ratio of 9.9%. Our strong capital position allowed us to repurchase $4.4 billion of common stock² during the third quarter. We estimate that our Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio was approximately 7.7% at the end of the third quarter. Our total firmwide credit reserves remained relatively flat compared with the prior quarter at $29.0 billion, resulting in a firmwide coverage ratio of 3.74% of total loans¹. The Firm’s total deposits increased to $1.1 trillion, up 21% compared with the prior year.”

Dimon also remarked: “JPMorgan Chase continues to do our part to support our clients and communities. During the first nine months of 2011, the Firm provided credit to and raised capital of over $1.3 trillion for our clients, up 22% compared with the same period last year; this included $12.6 billion lent to small businesses, up 71%. We originated more than 560,000 mortgages; we provided credit cards to approximately 6.6 million people; and we lent or provided credit of $51.0 billion to more than 1,100 not-for-profit and government entities, including states, municipalities, hospitals, and universities. In addition, the Firm has been very successful in hiring more than 2,200 U.S. military veterans so far this year and has increased its net employee headcount in the U.S. by more than 13,200.”

Dimon concluded: “Our shareholders should rest assured that we are being extremely cautious while navigating through this challenging economic environment. We are working hard to meet all of the requirements of the new and complex regulatory environment, and we continue to invest in the future while remaining focused on serving our clients and communities around the world.”

^(*)	The Firm also recognized a $691 million pretax net loss ($0.11 per share after-tax), including hedges, from credit valuation adjustments ("CVA") on derivative assets, due to the widening of credit spreads for the Firm's counterparties. The Firm actively manages its exposure to CVA.

Net Income	$1,636	$2,057	$1,286	($421)	(20)%	$350	27%

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $1.6 billion, up 27% from the prior year. Higher net revenue was partially offset by an increased provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense.

Net revenue included a $1.9 billion gain from debit valuation adjustments (“DVA”) on certain structured and derivative liabilities, resulting from the widening of the Firm’s credit spreads. This was partially offset by a $691 million net loss, including hedges, from credit valuation adjustments (“CVA”) on derivative assets within Credit Portfolio, due to the widening of credit spreads for the Firm’s counterparties.

Net revenue was $6.4 billion, compared with $5.4 billion in the prior year. Investment banking fees were down 31% to $1.0 billion, consisting of debt underwriting fees of $496 million (down 37%), equity underwriting fees of $178 million (down 47%) and advisory fees of $365 million (down 5%). Fixed Income Markets revenue was $3.3 billion, up 7% (down 14% excluding DVA gains of $529 million). These results reflected solid revenue from rates and currency-related products, partially offset by lower results in credit-related products. Equity Markets revenue was $1.4 billion, up 25% (down 15% excluding DVA gains of $377 million). These results reflected solid client revenue, partially offset by the impact of challenging market conditions. Credit Portfolio revenue was $578 million, including DVA gains of $979 million and net interest income and fees on retained loans, largely offset by net CVA losses of $691 million.

The provision for credit losses was $54 million, driven by an increase in the allowance that reflected a more cautious credit outlook, offset by recoveries on restructured loans; this compared with a benefit of $142 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision reflected net recoveries of $168 million, compared with net charge-offs of $33 million in the prior year. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained was 2.30%, compared with 3.85% in the prior year.

Noninterest expense was $3.8 billion, up 3% from the prior year, driven by higher noncompensation expense.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $1.2 billion, compared with $716 million in the prior year.

Net revenue was $7.5 billion, an increase of $721 million, or 11%, compared with the prior year. Net interest income was $4.1 billion, down by $218 million, or 5%, reflecting lower loan balances due to portfolio runoff. Noninterest revenue was $3.5 billion, up by $939 million, or 37%, driven by higher mortgage fees and related income, debit card income, and deposit-related fees.

The provision for credit losses was $1.0 billion, a decrease of $370 million from the prior year and an increase of $33 million from the prior quarter. While delinquency trends have modestly improved compared with the prior year and are flat compared with the prior quarter, the current-quarter provision continued to reflect elevated losses in the mortgage and home equity portfolios. The allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained, excluding purchased credit-impaired loans, was 6.26%, compared with 6.61% in the prior year and 6.12% in the prior quarter.

Noninterest expense was $4.6 billion, an increase of $395 million, or 9%, from the prior year, driven by investments in branch and mortgage production sales and support staff, as well as elevated default-related costs.

Consumer & Business Banking reported net income of $1.0 billion, an increase of $184 million, or 22%, compared with the prior year.

Net revenue was $4.7 billion, up 6% from the prior year. Net interest income was $2.7 billion, flat compared with the prior year, as the impact of lower deposit spreads was predominantly offset by the effect of higher deposit balances. Noninterest revenue was $2.0 billion, an increase of 15%, driven by higher debit card revenue, deposit-related fees and investment fee revenue.

The provision for credit losses was $126 million, compared with $173 million in the prior year. Net charge-offs were $126 million (2.91% net charge-off rate), compared with $173 million (4.13% net charge-off rate) in the prior year.

Key Metrics and Business Updates:

Production-related revenue, excluding repurchase losses, was $1.3 billion, a decrease of 10% from the prior year and an increase of 35% from the prior quarter. Current-quarter revenue reflected wider margins and higher volumes when compared with the prior quarter, and lower volumes and flat margins when compared with the prior year. Production expense was $497 million, an increase of $63 million, or 15%, reflecting a strategic shift to higher-cost retail originations both through the branch network and direct to the consumer. Repurchase losses were $314 million, compared with prior-year repurchase losses of $1.5 billion, which included a $1.0 billion increase in the repurchase reserve.

Mortgage servicing, including MSR risk management, resulted in a pretax loss of $153 million, compared with pretax income of $494 million in the prior year; and compared with a pretax loss of $1.1 billion in the prior quarter, which included $1.0 billion for estimated costs of foreclosure-related matters. Servicing-related revenue was $1.2 billion, a decline of 10% from the prior year, as a result of the decline in third-party loans serviced. MSR asset amortization was $457 million, compared with $604 million in the prior year; this reflected reduced amortization as a result of a lower MSR asset value, resulting from the adjustment recognized in the first quarter to reflect an increased cost to service. Offsetting the lower MSR asset amortization, servicing expense was $866 million, an increase of $292 million, reflecting higher core and default servicing costs. MSR risk management revenue was $16 million, a decline of $374 million from the prior year.

The provision for credit losses was $899 million, compared with $1.2 billion in the prior year. The current-quarter provision reflected a reduction in net charge-offs, driven by a modest improvement in delinquency trends.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $849 million, compared with $926 million in the prior year.

Net revenue was $4.8 billion, a decrease of $310 million, or 6%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $3.5 billion, down by $504 million, or 13%. The decrease was driven by lower average loan balances, narrower loan spreads, and a decreased level of fees. These decreases were partially offset by lower revenue reversals associated with lower charge-offs. Noninterest revenue was $1.3 billion, an increase of $194 million, or 18%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher net interchange income, lower partner revenue-sharing due to the impact of the Kohl’s portfolio sale, and the transfer of the Commercial Card business to Card from Treasury & Securities Services in the first quarter of 2011. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue from fee-based products. Excluding the impact of the Commercial Card business, noninterest revenue increased 11%.

The provision for credit losses was $1.3 billion, compared with $1.8 billion in the prior year and $944 million in the prior quarter. The current-quarter provision reflected lower net charge-offs and a reduction of $370 million to the allowance for loan losses due to lower estimated losses. The prior-year provision included a reduction of $1.5 billion to the allowance for loan losses. The net charge-off rate was 3.47%, down from 6.43% in the prior year and 4.24% in the prior quarter; the 30+ day delinquency rate was 2.36%, down from 3.49% in the prior year and 2.38% in the prior quarter.

The Auto net charge-off rate was 0.36%, down from 0.56% in the prior year and up from 0.16% in the prior quarter. The Student net charge-off rate was 2.66%, up from 2.27% in the prior year and down from 3.83% in the prior quarter.

Noninterest expense was $2.1 billion, an increase of $323 million, or 18%, from the prior year, due to higher marketing expense and the inclusion of the Commercial Card business. Excluding the impact of the Commercial Card business, noninterest expense increased 14%.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $305 million, an increase of $54 million, or 22%, from the prior year. Compared with the prior quarter, net income decreased by $28 million, or 8%, reflecting seasonal activity in securities lending and depositary receipts.

Net revenue was $1.9 billion, an increase of $77 million, or 4%, from the prior year. Excluding the Commercial Card business, net revenue was up 7%. Treasury Services net revenue was $969 million, an increase of $32 million, or 3%. The increase was driven by higher deposit balances, predominantly offset by the transfer of the Commercial Card business to Card in the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of the Commercial Card business, Treasury Services net revenue increased 10%. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue was $939 million, an increase of $45 million, or 5%. The increase was driven by higher net interest income due to higher deposit balances.

TSS generated firmwide net revenue² of $2.5 billion, including $1.6 billion by Treasury Services; of that amount, $969 million was recorded in Treasury Services, $572 million in Commercial Banking, and $68 million in other lines of business. The remaining $939 million of firmwide net revenue was recorded in Worldwide Securities Services.

The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $20 million, reflecting a reduction in allowance for loan losses resulting primarily from repayments.

Noninterest expense was $1.5 billion, an increase of $60 million, or 4%, from the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by continued expansion into new markets and higher other noncompensation expense, partially offset by the transfer of the Commercial Card business to Card. Excluding the Commercial Card business, TSS noninterest expense increased 9%.

Results for the quarter included a $9 million pretax benefit related to the traditional credit portfolio for Global Corporate Bank (“GCB”) clients that are managed jointly by IB and TSS.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $385 million, a decrease of $35 million, or 8%, from the prior year. These results reflected higher noninterest expense, partially offset by higher net revenue.

Net revenue was $2.3 billion, an increase of $144 million, or 7%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $1.9 billion, up by $118 million, or 7%, due to the gain on the sale of an investment, net inflows to products with higher margins, and the effect of higher market levels. This was partially offset by lower valuations of seed capital investments. Net interest income was $418 million, up by $26 million, or 7%, due to higher deposit and loan balances, partially offset by narrower deposit spreads.

Revenue from Private Banking was $1.3 billion, up 10% from the prior year. Revenue from Retail was $563 million, up 16%. Revenue from Institutional was $455 million, down 10%.

Assets under supervision were $1.8 trillion, an increase of $36 billion, or 2%, from the prior year. Assets under management were $1.3 trillion, a decrease of $3 billion. This decrease was due to net outflows from liquidity products and the effect of lower market levels, offset by net inflows to long-term products. Custody, brokerage, administration and deposit balances were $552 billion, up by $39 billion, or 8%, due to deposit and custody inflows.

The provision for credit losses was $26 million, compared with $23 million in the prior year.

Noninterest expense was $1.8 billion, an increase of $308 million, or 21%, largely resulting from non-client-related litigation expense and an increase in compensation expense due to increased headcount.

Key Metrics and Business Updates:

^{(All comparisons refer to the prior-year quarter except as noted)}

• Pretax margin² was 21%, down from 30%.
• Assets under management reflected net inflows of $11 billion for the 12 months ended September 30, 2011. For the quarter, net outflows were $8 billion; this included $10 billion of outflows from liquidity products, partially offset by net inflows of $2 billion to long-term products.
• Assets under management ranked in the top two quartiles for investment performance were 77% over 5 years, 73% over 3 years and 49% over 1 year.
• Customer assets in 4 and 5 Star–rated funds were 47% of all rated mutual fund assets.
• Average loans were $52.7 billion, up 34% from the prior year and 8% from the prior quarter.
• End-of-period loans were $54.2 billion, up 31% from the prior year and 5% from the prior quarter.

Private Equity reported a net loss of $347 million, compared with net income of $344 million in the prior year. Net revenue was negative $546 million, a decrease of $1.3 billion, driven primarily by net write-downs on private investments and lower valuations of public securities held at fair value in the portfolio.

(*) Presented on a managed basis. See notes on page 13 for further explanation of managed basis. Net revenue on a U.S. GAAP basis totaled $23,763 million, $26,779 million, and $23,824 million for the third quarter of 2011, second quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2010, respectively.

Discussion of Results:

Net income was $4.3 billion, down by $156 million, or 4%, from the prior year. The decrease in earnings was driven by higher noninterest expense, largely offset by a lower provision for credit losses.

Net revenue was $24.4 billion, flat compared with the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $12.4 billion, up by $681 million, or 6%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher mortgage fees and related income and higher securities gains, partially offset by lower principal transactions revenue and lower investment banking fees. Noninterest revenue included a $1.9 billion gain from DVA on certain structured and derivative liabilities, resulting from the widening of the Firm’s credit spreads. This gain was partially offset by a $691 million net loss, including hedges, from CVA on derivative assets, due to the widening of credit spreads for the Firm’s counterparties. Net interest income was $12.0 billion, down by $648 million, or 5%, driven predominantly by runoff of higher-yielding loans and spread compression.

The provision for credit losses was $2.4 billion, down by $812 million, or 25%, from the prior year. The total consumer provision for credit losses was $2.3 billion, compared with $3.2 billion in the prior year. The decrease in the provision reflected improved delinquency trends across most consumer portfolios compared with the prior year. Consumer net charge-offs¹ were $2.7 billion, compared with $4.7 billion in the prior year, resulting in net charge-off rates of 2.84% and 4.64%, respectively. The wholesale provision for credit losses was $127 million, compared with $44 million in the prior year. Wholesale net recoveries were $151 million in the current quarter, compared with net charge-offs of $266 million in the prior year, resulting in a net recovery rate of 0.24% and a net charge-off rate of 0.49%, respectively. The Firm’s allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans retained¹ was 3.74%, compared with 5.12% in the prior year. The Firm’s nonperforming assets totaled $12.2 billion at September 30, 2011, down from the prior-year level of $17.7 billion and from the prior-quarter level of $13.2 billion.

Noninterest expense was $15.5 billion, up 8% from the prior year, driven by higher noncompensation expense.

Key Metrics and Business Updates:

^{(All comparisons refer to the prior-year quarter except as noted)}

• Basel I Tier 1 Common ratio¹ was 9.9% at September 30, 2011, compared with 10.1% at June 30, 2011, and 9.5% at September 30, 2010.
• Headcount was 256,663, an increase of 19,853, or 8%.

1.	Notes on non-GAAP financial measures:
a.	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 to present total net revenue for the Firm (and each of the business segments) on a fully taxable-equivalent (“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 tax-exempt items is recorded within income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income as reported by the Firm as a whole or by the lines of business.
b.	The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans excludes the following: loans accounted for at fair value and loans held-for-sale; purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans; and the allowance for loan losses related to PCI loans. Additionally, Real Estate Portfolios net charge-off rates exclude the impact of PCI loans. The allowance for loan losses related to the purchased credit-impaired portfolio totaled $4.9 billion, $4.9 billion and $2.8 billion at September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2010, respectively.
c.	Tangible common equity ("TCE"), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common stockholders' equity (i.e., total stockholders' equity less preferred stock) less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE, a non-GAAP financial ratio, measures the Firm's earnings as a percentage of TCE. In management's view, these measures are meaningful to the Firm, as well as analysts and investors in assessing the Firm's use of equity, and in facilitating comparisons with competitors.
d.	The Basel I Tier 1 common ratio is Tier 1 common divided by risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 common is defined as Tier 1 capital less elements of Tier 1 capital not in the form of common equity, such as perpetual preferred stock, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and trust preferred capital debt securities. Tier 1 common, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by banking regulators, investors and analysts to assess and compare the quality and composition of the Firm’s capital with the capital of other financial services companies. The Firm uses Tier 1 common along with other capital measures to assess and monitor its capital position. On December 16, 2010, the Basel Committee issued the final version of the Basel Capital Accord, commonly referred to as “Basel III.” The Firm’s estimate of its Tier 1 common ratio under Basel III is a non-GAAP financial measure and reflects the Firm’s current understanding of the Basel III rules and the application of such rules to its businesses as currently conducted. The Firm’s estimates of its Basel III Tier 1 common ratio will evolve over time as the Firm’s businesses change, and as a result of further rule-making on Basel III implementation by U.S. federal banking agencies. Management considers this estimate as a key measure to assess the Firm’s capital position in conjunction with its capital ratios under Basel I requirements, in order to enable management, investors and analysts to compare the Firm’s capital under the Basel III capital standards with similar estimates provided by other financial services companies.
e.	For Card Services, supplemental information is provided for Chase, excluding the Washington Mutual and Commercial Card portfolios, to provide more meaningful measures that enable comparability with prior periods. The net charge-off and delinquency rates include loans held-for-sale.
2.	Additional notes on financial measures:
a.	Headcount-related expense includes salary and benefits (excluding performance-based incentives), and other noncompensation costs related to employees.
b.	Treasury & Securities Services firmwide metrics include certain TSS product revenue and liability balances reported in other lines of business related to customers who are also customers of those other lines of business. In order to capture the firmwide impact of TSS products and revenue, management reviews firmwide metrics such as liability balances, revenue and overhead ratios in assessing financial performance for TSS. Firmwide metrics are necessary, in management’s view, in order to understand the aggregate TSS business.
c.	Pretax margin represents income before income tax expense divided by total net revenue, which is, in management’s view, a comprehensive measure of pretax performance derived by measuring earnings after all costs are taken into consideration. It is, therefore, another basis that management uses to evaluate the performance of TSS and AM against the performance of their respective competitors.
d.	Credit Card sales volume presented excluding Commercial Card, which was transferred to Card Services & Auto in the first quarter of 2011.
e.	Average deposit balances for Commercial Banking and Treasury & Securities Services include deposits, as well as deposits that are swept to on-balance sheet liabilities (e.g., commercial paper, federal funds purchased, time deposits, and securities loaned or sold under repurchase agreements) as part of customer cash management programs.
f.	Common stock repurchases also include repurchases of warrants to purchase common stock.
3.	Revised financial disclosure:
Commencing July 1, 2011, the Firm’s business segments were reorganized as follows:
a.	Auto and Student Lending transferred from the Retail Financial Services (“RFS”) reportable/operating segment and is reported with Card Services & Auto (“Card”) in a single reportable/operating segment.
b.	Retail Financial Services continues as a reportable/operating segment, organized in two components: Consumer & Business Banking (formerly Retail Banking) and Mortgage Banking (including Mortgage Production and Servicing, and Real Estate Portfolios).
All prior-period disclosures have been revised to conform with the current-period presentation.
