    NEW YORK, July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- E*TRADE FINANCIAL
Corporation (NYSE: ET) today announced record results for its second
quarter ended June 30, 2006, reporting net income of $156 million, or $0.36
per share compared to $102 million, or $0.27 per share a year ago. As
previously indicated, the results in the second quarter of 2006 include
approximately $8 million, or $0.01 per share, of acquisition-related
integration expenses. Excluding these expenses, the Company generated
earnings of $0.37 per share. Total net revenue for the second quarter
increased 58 percent year over year to a record $611 million. Net interest
income after provision for loan losses increased 71 percent year over year
to $334 million -- representing 55 percent of total net revenue. Enterprise
net interest spread increased to 291 basis points as the Company continued
to benefit from strong organic growth in customer cash and growth in higher
yielding assets. Non-interest income increased 45 percent year over year to
$277 million. Operating margin expanded 700 basis points year over year to
a record 43 percent.
    The Company also raised its 2006 earnings guidance for the second time
this year to a range of $1.42 - $1.52 per share from the previous range of
$1.35 - $1.50. As previously indicated, this range excludes $0.05 per share
of acquisition-related integration expenses. Of this $0.05, $0.04 was
realized through the first and second quarters, and the Company expects to
realize an additional $0.01 in the third quarter. Including these expenses,
the Company now expects to earn $1.37 - $1.47 per share on a GAAP basis in
2006, up from the previous range of $1.30 - $1.45.
    "The strength of our second quarter results demonstrates the
flexibility of our model, particularly amid an environment filled with
significant macroeconomic uncertainty," said Mitchell H. Caplan, Chief
Executive Officer, E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation. "As retail customers
respond to the market environment, they are increasingly looking for value
from a broader set of financial solutions. Through our compelling value
proposition across investing, trading, banking and lending products, we
remain ideally positioned to capitalize on short-term market opportunities
and long-term secular growth trends."

    SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AND ENDNOTES

    Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Metrics
    In order to better assess the Company's financial operating results,
management believes free cash, EBITDA, interest coverage, EPS excluding
acquisition-related integration expenses, enterprise net interest income
and enterprise interest-earning assets are appropriate measures for
evaluating the operating and liquidity performance of the Company. We
believe that the elimination of certain items from these measures is
helpful to analysts and investors who may wish to use some or all of this
information to analyze our current performance, prospects and valuation.
Our management uses non-GAAP information internally to evaluate our
operating performance and in formulating our budget for future periods.
    Free Cash
    Free cash as reported by the Company represents cash held at Parent and
non-Bank or Brokerage subsidiaries less discretionary reserves plus excess
capital at Bank and Brokerage after regulatory capital requirements and the
Company's own regulatory capital guidelines. The Company believes that free
cash is a useful measure of the Company's liquidity as it excludes cash
reflected on the balance sheet that may not be freely available to the
Company.
    EBITDA
    EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations before
corporate interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Management believes that EBITDA provides a useful additional measure of our
performance by excluding certain non-cash charges and expenses that are not
directly related to the performance of our business.
    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 our ability to continue to meet our interest
obligations and our liquidity.
    EPS Excluding Acquisition-Related Integration Expenses
    EPS excluding acquisition-related integration expenses represents net
income plus acquisition-related integration expenses, net of tax divided by
diluted shares. Management believes that excluding charges associated with
the integration of our acquisitions from EPS provides a useful measure to
assess the operating performance of the Company.
    Enterprise Net Interest Income
    Enterprise Net Interest Income is taxable equivalent basis net interest
income excluding corporate interest income and interest expense, stock
conduit interest income and expense and interest earned on customer cash
held by third parties. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful
to analysts and investors as it is a measure of the net interest income
generated by our core operations.
    Enterprise Interest-Earning Assets
    Enterprise interest-earning assets are average interest-bearing assets
determined based on the definition of enterprise net interest spread, which
excludes corporate interest-earning assets and stock conduit assets.
Management believes this metric is an indicator of the Company's ability to
grow net interest income by increasing the size of the balance sheet.
    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 a substitute for, or superior to, net income, consolidated statements of
cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with GAAP. For complete information on the items excluded from
these non-GAAP measures, please see our financial statements and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition" that will be included in the periodic report we expect
to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods discussed
herein.
    (1) EPS excluding acquisition-related integration expenses is a non-GAAP
        financial measure per applicable SEC regulations.  The $0.01 per
        share was calculated as acquisition-related integration expenses of $5
        million after tax divided by 439,460,000 diluted shares.
    (2) Operating margin is the percentage of every dollar of revenue that
        goes to net income before other income (expense), income taxes,
        minority interest and discontinued operations.  The percentage is
        calculated by dividing our income before other income (expense),
        income taxes, minority interest and discontinued operations by our
        total net revenue.
    (3) Reflects elimination of transactions between Retail and Institutional
        segments, which include deposit transfer pricing, servicing and order
        flow rebates.
    (4) 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, stock conduit and cash held
        by third parties.
    (5) Amounts and percentages may not calculate due to rounding.
    (6) Q2-06 estimate.
    (7) Excludes loans to customers on margin.
    (8) Includes segregated cash balances.
    (9) Free credits are balances held in customer accounts arising from
        deposits of funds and sales of securities.
    (10) Gross-up for tax-exempt securities.
    (11) Net interest income earned on average stock conduit assets of
         $0.4 billion, $0.8 billion and $0.7 billion for the quarters ended
         June 30, 2006, March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
    (12) Includes interest earned on customer assets of $3.4 billion,
         $3.6 billion and $1.6 billion for the quarters ended June 30, 2006,
         March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively, held by parties
         outside E*TRADE FINANCIAL, including third party money market funds
         and sweep deposit accounts at unaffiliated broker-dealers.
