Bank United Corp. Announces 2000 First Fiscal Quarter Earnings

    HOUSTON, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ --
Bank United Corp. (Nasdaq: BNKU; NYSE: BKP) (the "Company"), parent of Bank
United (NYSE: BKU PrA and BKU PrB) (the "Bank"), today announced earnings for
its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1999.
    Net income for the quarter increased to $31.8 million or $.87 per diluted
share compared to the year ago quarter's results of $27.4 million or $.83 per
diluted share.  Net income increased 16% and diluted earnings per share
increased $.04 per share or 5% over the year ago quarter.  The Company closed
the quarter with total assets of $17.4 billion, up $2.4 billion or 16% from
December 31, 1998 and $1.1 billion or 7% from September 30, 1999.
    Barry C. Burkholder, President and CEO, stated, "Our results reflect the
successful diversification of the Company's business into commercial and
consumer banking which produced substantial growth in net interest income and
fee income from our core businesses.  Total net revenue for the quarter
increased 20% even though the prior year quarter included $.12 per diluted
share of higher mortgage banking gains resulting from last year's refinance
boom.
    "We anticipate increased servicing, commercial and community banking
income going forward will offset the effects of lower single family
originations and sales," Burkholder added.
    For the quarter ended December 31, 1998, reported earnings included
$2.8 million of Court of Claims expense, which reduced net income by $.05 per
diluted share.  If this expense was excluded, adjusted earnings for the
quarter would have been $29.1 million or $.88 per diluted share.  For the
quarter ended December 31, 1999, adjusted earnings equaled reported earnings
of $.87 per diluted share.
    Bank United Corp. is the largest publicly traded depository institution
headquartered in Texas.  Through Bank United, the Company operates a 152-

lender.
    Additional comments and supplemental financial data are attached.

    NET INTEREST INCOME
    Net interest income for the quarter increased 27% to $99.7 million
compared to $78.2 million for the year ago quarter and was comparable to the
September 1999 quarter.
    Interest-Earning Assets    Average interest-earning assets again reached
record levels increasing 20% to $15.6 billion during the current quarter as
compared to the year ago quarter, primarily due to a 57% increase in average
commercial loans.
    Net Yield    The net yield on interest-earning assets was 2.60% for the
quarter, compared to 2.44% for the year ago quarter, and 2.64% on a normalized
basis for the September 1999 quarter (2.73% on a reported basis, which
included a one time cash receipt on a purchased commercial loan).  The
Company's net interest income and gross yields benefited during the quarter
from rate resets on its substantial portfolio of adjustable rate loans.  The
increase in gross yields more than offset the rise in the cost of funds,
resulting in a 16 basis point increase in the net yield for the current
quarter as compared to the year ago quarter.  An increase in the number of
lower costing transaction deposit accounts reduced the effect of rising market
interest rates on the cost of funds.

    NON-INTEREST INCOME
    Non-interest income totalled $33.3 million for the quarter, which was
consistent with the year ago quarter and up slightly from the September 1999
quarter.  Non-interest income is comprised of loan servicing fees, community
banking deposit related fees, gains from annuity and security sales to
consumers, commercial banking fees, and gains from sales of mortgage and SBA
loans.
    Loan Servicing Fees    The largest component of non-interest income is
loan servicing fees, which totalled $16.8 million for the quarter, an increase
of $2.1 million or 14% compared to the prior year quarter.  This increase was
primarily due to a 19% increase in the servicing portfolio and a 12% increase
in the average servicing fee rate.  The increase in the servicing portfolio is
due to purchases during the twelve months, large portions of which were GNMAs.
The average servicing fee rate rose to 45.1 basis points for the current
quarter, compared to 40.4 basis points for the prior year quarter.  The
Company's portfolio of loans serviced for others was $27.5 billion at
December 31, 1999.
    Net Gains    Net gains from mortgage banking and SBA banking sales
comprised the majority of the $4.6 million in gains for the current quarter,
which were down $5.2 million or 53% from the year ago quarter.  Mortgage
banking gains declined $6.3 million from the year ago quarter due to lower
sales volumes in the current quarter ($352 million sold in the current quarter
compared to $1.3 billion sold in the year ago quarter).  A significant drop in
refinancings from the year ago quarter caused a sizable reduction in
originations, contributing to the lower sales volume in the current quarter.
SBA banking gains were $1.9 million for the quarter, up 49% from the year ago
quarter, demonstrating the continued success in this business year over year.
    Deposit Fees and Charges    Deposit fees and charges reached $7.9 million
during the quarter for a $3.0 million or 63% increase compared to the year ago
quarter.  A 29% increase in the number of checking accounts resulting from the
7-Day Banking Center expansion contributed to this considerable increase.

    NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
    Excluding litigation expenses related to the Court of Claims case in both
periods, non-interest expense for the quarter totalled $68.7 million, compared
to $51.1 million for the year ago quarter.  This increase is primarily a
result of growth in the community bank, most particularly the 7-Day Banking
Centers and the expansion into Midland, Texas ($9.5 million pre-tax), as well
as the SBA banking initiative ($1.9 million pre-tax).  Costs associated with
new offices for commercial and wholesale lending and technology initiatives
also contributed to the increase.  The Company's efficiency ratio, adjusted
for the Court of Claims expense, was 50.65% for the current quarter.

    LOAN ACTIVITY
    The Company's loan portfolio totalled $14.0 billion at December 31, 1999,
up $2.1 billion or 18% over the prior year, and $881 million or 7% over
September 30, 1999.  The most significant change in the current quarter was in
the commercial loan portfolio.
    Commercial    The commercial loan portfolio, which is principally
comprised of single family construction, multi-family and commercial real
estate, healthcare, and mortgage banker finance line of credit loans, totalled
$6.2 billion at December 31, 1999, up $2.0 billion or 47% from the year ago
period, and $743.1 million or 14% over September 30, 1999.  The Company again
achieved record levels of commercial loan fundings of $1.7 billion for the
current quarter, compared to $1.0 billion for the year ago quarter, and
$1.3 billion for the September 1999 quarter.  In October, the Company
purchased $658 million of mortgage banker finance and consumer finance lines
of credit (with $398 million in outstandings) from First Union.
    Small Business and SBA    Small business and SBA loans, which are included
in the commercial loan portfolio, totalled $389 million ($185 million of small
business and $204 million of SBA) at December 31, 1999, up $174 million or 81%
from December 31, 1998.  Small business and SBA fundings for the quarter
achieved another record high of $94.3 million, up 117% over the year ago
quarter and 28% over the September 1999 quarter.
    Single Family    The single family loan portfolio remained flat at
$7.2 billion at December 31, 1999 as compared to December 31, 1998.  Single
family fundings for the current quarter totalled $641.7 million, compared to
$1.6 billion for the year ago quarter, and $574.1 million for the September
1999 quarter.  Lower funding levels during the current quarter as compared to
the year ago quarter reflect the continued rise in long-term market interest
rates and lower levels of refinancings.  Refinancings represented 52% of total
originations for the quarter, compared to 81% for the year ago quarter.
    Consumer    Consumer loans totalled $693.4 million at December 31, 1999,
up $165.5 million or 31% from the prior year, and $30.1 million or 5% from
September 30, 1999.  Consumer loan fundings were $82.7 million for the
quarter, compared to $64.5 million for the year ago quarter, and $83.2 million
for the September 1999 quarter.
    Loan Composition    At December 31, 1999, the composition of the loan
portfolio was single family 51%, commercial 44%, and consumer 5%.  The
composition at December 31, 1998 was single family 60%, commercial 35%, and
consumer 5%.

    ASSET QUALITY
    The Company continues to maintain high asset quality.  The nonperforming
assets ratio was .64% at December 31, 1999, compared to .61% at
December 31, 1998, and .67% at September 30, 1999.  Nonperforming assets, 80%
of which are single family loans and single family real estate, were
$111.9 million at December 31, 1999, compared to $90.6 million at
December 31, 1998, and $108.3 million at September 30, 1999.
    Net charge-offs totalled $2.1 million or .06% (annualized) of average
loans for the quarter, compared to $1.3 million or .05% for the December 1998
quarter, and $1.6 million or .05% for the September 1999 quarter .
    The allowance for credit losses totalled $87.8 million at
December 31, 1999, or .69% of average loans, compared to $82.7 million or .68%
at September 30, 1999.  At December 31, 1999, the allowance for credit losses
to average loans, by type, was:  .34% for the single family portfolio, 1.29%
for the commercial portfolio, and .36% for the consumer portfolio.

    DEPOSITS
    Total deposits were $8.4 billion at December 31, 1999, up $1.4 billion
from the year ago period.  Growth within the community bank accounted for
$648 million of the increase. The 7-Day Banking Center initiative has sourced
to date $376 million and 65,000 in checking accounts. The acquisition of
Midland American Bank in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 contributed
$237 million to the increase.

    BANK UNITED
    The Company also announced net income of $38.6 million for the quarter for
its subsidiary Bank United, compared to $35.2 million for the year ago
quarter.  Capital levels of the Bank at December 31, 1999 qualify it as "well-
capitalized", the highest of five tiers under applicable regulatory
guidelines.

    OTHER CORPORATE MATTERS
    Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
    All of the Company's systems worked without incident through the end of
the year 1999 and into the year 2000.

    Court of Claims Litigation
    On March 19, 1999, United States Court of Federal Claims Chief Judge Loren
A. Smith ruled that the United States was liable for claims in the case filed
by Bank United Corp. relating to the government's breach of contracts made
when the Company acquired a failed savings and loan association in late 1988.
The Company's case proceeded to trial on the amount of damages on
September 13, 1999, and the taking of evidence by the court concluded on
October 21, 1999.  The parties have now submitted post-trial briefs and final
oral argument will be held on January 26, 2000.  A decision by the court is
expected in the first half of calendar year 2000.  The suit seeks damages of
approximately $560 million.
