     - GAAP Net Income of $101.6 million, or $0.27 per share

     - Total Net Revenue of $391.3 million

     - Operating Margin(1) of 36 percent

     - Total Client Assets of $96.8 billion

     - Net Interest Income of $208.2 million

     - Total Daily Average Revenue Trades of 115,300

     - Raises low end of 2005 guidance and tightens range to $0.96 - $1.06

    NEW YORK, July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation
(NYSE: ET) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2005,
reporting net income of $101.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share.
Consolidated net revenue for the second quarter increased 3 percent to $391.3
million from $381.5 million a year ago. The Company continued to see
significant growth in net interest income, which increased 35 percent year
over year to $208.2 million and represented 53 percent of Total Net Revenue.
Total retail client assets increased to $96.8 billion, including $18.7 billion
in retail customer cash, representing a 10 percent increase over the year ago
period.  Retail customer margin debt balances at quarter end also increased 10
percent from a year ago to $2.28 billion.
    In the second quarter, the Company made the strategic decision to exit the
proprietary and hybrid trading business within E*TRADE Professional, and is in
negotiations to sell its RV and marine loan origination and servicing
business. The results of these businesses in the second quarter of 2005 are
presented as a $6.7 million after-tax loss from discontinued operations.
Therefore, net income from continuing operations increased to $0.29 in the
second quarter from $0.26 a year ago.  Prior periods presented have been
adjusted for the discontinuation of these businesses.
    The Company increased and narrowed its 2005 GAAP earnings guidance range
to $0.96 - $1.06 per share.
    "We continue to drive strong and steady performance by appealing to new
customers with integrated product solutions, leveraging our ability to
monetize customer cash across our Retail and Institutional segments and
controlling operating expenses," said Mitchell H. Caplan, Chief Executive
Officer, E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation. "Through this discipline, we have made
decisions and delivered results that have put the Company on track to deliver
a third consecutive year of record results, while moving us closer to our goal
of delivering a consolidated return on equity of nearly 20 percent and an
operating margin of 40 percent in 2006."
    Other selected highlights from the second quarter of 2005:

     -- Added 204,000 gross new retail accounts, with 142,000 in
        trading/investing and 62,000 in deposit/lending accounts
     -- Increased products per customer 11 percent to 2.0 from 1.8 a year ago
        and total segment income per customer by 2 percent to $48 from $47 a
        year ago
     -- Upgraded 1.4 million customer accounts to E*TRADE Complete
     -- Issued and activated over 10,000 Digital Security ID tokens through
        our two-factor authentication program for customers
     -- Launched retail brokerage services in France and Estonia, increasing
        global presence to 14 countries

    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 consolidated operating margins, free cash, EBITDA and
interest coverage are appropriate measures of 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.

    Consolidated Operating Margin
    Consolidated operating margin is defined as income before other income,
income taxes and discontinued operations divided by net revenues. Operating
margin for Retail and Institutional is based on segment results.  Our
consolidated statements of operations contain a reconciliation of income
before other income, income taxes and discontinued operations to net income.

    Free Cash
    Free cash as reported by the Company represents cash held at Parent and
non-Bank or Brokerage subsidiaries less discretionary reserves and 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.
    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) Operating margin is defined as income before other income, income
        taxes and discontinued operations divided by net revenues. Operating
        margin for Retail and Institutional is based on segment results.
    (2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, diluted earnings per
        share is calculated using the 'if converted' method, which includes
        the additional dilutive impact assuming conversion of the Company's
        subordinated convertible debt. Under the 'if converted' method, the
        per share numerator excludes the interest expense and related
        amortization of offering costs from the convertible debt, net of tax,
        of $7.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively. The denominator
        includes the shares issuable from the assumed conversion of the
        convertible debt of 39.9 million and 42.7 million, respectively. For
        all other periods presented the 'if converted' method is not used as
        its effect would be anti-dilutive.
    (3) Reflects elimination of transactions between Retail and Institutional
        segments, which include deposit transfer pricing, servicing and
        orderflow rebates.
    (4) Amounts and percentages may not calculate due to rounding.
    (5) Q205 estimate.
    (6) Amounts include a taxable equivalent increase in interest income of
        $2.7 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005
        and 2004, respectively.
