Highlights


    --  Managed net interest margin of 6.90 percent and revenue margin of 9.50
        percent remained stable in the fourth quarter relative to the prior
        quarter.
    --  Managed provision expense decreased $353.5 million from the prior
        quarter and was essentially flat in 2009 as compared to 2008 at $8.0
        billion.
    --  Non-interest expenses were up 8.1 percent in the quarter as marketing
        began to increase from unusually low levels earlier in 2009, and
        operating expenses increased as expected.
    --  Tangible common equity to tangible managed assets, or "TCE ratio,"
        increased to 6.3 percent, up 10 basis points from the September 30, 2009
        ratio of 6.2 percent, and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, or
        Tier 1 ratio, rose to 13.8 percent.

Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) today announced net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 of $375.6 million, or $0.83 per common share (diluted), versus third quarter 2009 net income of $393.5 million, or $0.88 per common share (diluted). For the full year of 2009, net income was $319.9 million, or $0.74 per share (diluted), including the ($563.9) million, or ($1.31) per share, impact to net income from the repayment of the government's TARP preferred share investment. This compares to a loss in 2008 of $78.7 million, or ($0.21) per share (diluted), which included a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $810.9 million in the automobile business.

"Capital One posted solid results as our domestic credit card and auto finance businesses delivered strong profits and resilience during the quarter despite challenging economic and credit headwinds," said Richard D. Fairbank, Capital One's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Given our balance sheet strength and the stabilizing economy, we are well-positioned to take advantage of emerging opportunities to deliver value to our shareholders and customers."

Total Company Results


    --  Total managed revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 declined $215.7
        million, or 4.7 percent, to $4.4 billion. The main driver of lower
        revenue was fewer gains from securities sales compared to the prior
        quarter. Managed non-interest income decreased $173.8 million in the
        fourth quarter, or 12.7 percent, relative to the prior quarter, while
        net interest income decreased $41.9 million, or 1.3 percent. Managed
        revenue in 2009 was flat compared to 2008 at approximately $16.8 billion
        as a 2.9 percent decrease in average loans year over year was offset by
        slightly higher margins.
    --  Managed provision expense decreased $353.5 million from the prior
        quarter.  A $386.1 million allowance release in the quarter more than
        offset an increase in charge-offs, driving the decrease in provision
        expense. The fourth quarter allowance releases in both Credit Card and
        Auto more than offset the allowance builds in Commercial and Consumer
        Banking.
    --  Allowance as a percentage of reported loans was 4.55 percent in the
        fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to 4.67 percent in the prior quarter.
    --  Average total deposits decreased by $1.3 billion, or 1.1 percent, over
        the prior quarter, to $114.6 billion. Period-end total deposits
        increased by $1.3 billion to $115.8 billion as a result of the increase
        in deposits late in the quarter.
    --  The cost of managed interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.16
        percent from 2.28 percent in the prior quarter as the company replaced
        higher-cost time deposits with money market and savings accounts, and
        increased the amount of non-interest bearing deposits. The overall cost
        of funds declined 12 basis points to 2.00 percent in the fourth quarter.
    --  Average managed assets decreased $4.2 billion, or 2.0 percent, relative
        to the prior quarter, to $210.4 billion, driven primarily by reductions
        in loans held for investment. Period-end total managed assets increased
        by 1.2 percent over the prior quarter to $212.1 billion.
    --  Non-interest expenses increased $145.9 million in the fourth quarter of
        2009 from the prior quarter, driven primarily by increased marketing.
        Marketing increased $84.3 million, or 81.3 percent from the prior
        quarter. The managed efficiency ratio of 43.85 percent in the fourth
        quarter of 2009 was up 5.1 percentage points from 38.73 percent in the
        prior quarter.
    --  Non-interest expenses for the full year 2009 were essentially flat
        compared to 2008 at $7.4 billion, excluding goodwill impairment. In
        response to lower loan demand and economic uncertainty, the company
        decreased marketing spend in 2009. This decrease was offset by the
        addition of Chevy Chase Bank operating expenses.
    --  The company's TCE ratio increased to 6.3 percent on December 31, 2009,
        from 6.2 percent in the prior quarter. The Tier 1 risk-based capital
        ratio of approximately 13.8 percent increased 200 basis points relative
        to the prior quarter, and continues to be well above the regulatory
        well-capitalized minimum.

"We navigated a very challenging 2009, produced solid results and strengthened our position with additional capital and historically high allowance coverage ratios," said Gary Perlin. "The strength of our balance sheet will continue to enable us to make the investments necessary to generate profitable growth into the future."

Segment Results

The company reports the results of its business through three operating segments: Credit Card, Commercial Banking, and Consumer Banking. Please refer to the Financial Supplement for additional details.

Credit Card Highlights

For details on the sub-segments' results, please refer to the Financial Supplement.

The Credit Card segment reported net income in the fourth quarter of $509.9 million, an increase of $218.2 million, or 74.8 percent, from the prior quarter's net income of $291.7 million. Lower provision expense in the quarter was the key driver of the improved profitability.

    --  Revenues of $2.9 billion were down $64.9 million, or 2.2 percent,
        relative to the prior quarter.
        --  Domestic Card - revenues down $77.2 million, or 2.9 percent.
        --  International Card - revenues up $12.4 million, or 3.7 percent.
    --  Revenue margin in the Domestic Card sub-segment improved to
        approximately 17.0 percent in the fourth quarter, up from 16.8 percent
        in the prior quarter. In 2010, we expect quarterly revenue margin to
        moderate, but remain close to its fourth quarter 2009 level.
    --  Period-end loans in the Credit Card segment were $68.5 billion, a
        decline of $1.8 billion, or 2.6 percent, from the prior quarter.
        --  Domestic Card - loans declined $1.6 billion, or 2.6 percent, to
            $60.3 billion at the end of the fourth quarter. Approximately $1.0
            billion of the decline came from the continued run-off of the
            company's nationally-originated Installment Loans.
        --  International Card - loans declined $0.3 billion, or 3.0 percent, to
            $8.2 billion.
    --  The managed net charge-off rate for the Credit Card segment remained
        essentially flat at 9.58 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
        --  Domestic Card - net charge-offs decreased 5 basis points to 9.59
            percent in the fourth quarter from 9.64 percent in the prior
            quarter.
        --  International Card - net charge-offs increased 33 basis points to
            9.52 percent from 9.19 percent in the prior quarter.
    --  The 30+ day performing delinquency rate for the Credit Card segment
        increased 35 basis points to 5.88 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009
        from 5.53 percent in the prior quarter.
        --  Domestic Card - delinquencies increased 40 basis points to 5.78
            percent from 5.38 percent in the prior quarter.
        --  International Card - delinquencies decreased 8 basis points to 6.55
            percent from 6.63 percent in the prior quarter.

Commercial Banking Highlights

For more lending information and statistics on the segment results, please refer to the Financial Supplement.

The Commercial Banking segment consists of commercial and multi-family real-estate, middle market lending, and specialty lending, which are summarized under Commercial Lending, and small ticket commercial real estate. The total segment reported a net loss of $136.0 million in the fourth quarter, relative to a net loss of $127.7 million in the prior quarter. Commercial Banking revenue increased $12.0 million, or 3.5 percent, to $356.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, while non-interest expense increased $31.3 million, or 18.9 percent, to $197.4 million. Increases in non-interest expense were driven by rising costs associated with managing loss mitigation and continuing infrastructure investments.

    --  Average loans of $29.9 billion declined $206.1 million, or 0.7 percent,
        during the fourth quarter from $30.1 billion during the prior quarter.
        --  Commercial lending - declined $89.4 million, or 0.3 percent, to
            $27.5 billion.
        --  Small ticket commercial real estate - declined $116.8 million, or
            4.7 percent, to $2.4 billion.
    --  Average deposits increased $1.7 billion, or 9.3 percent, to $19.4
        billion during the fourth quarter from $17.8 billion during the prior
        quarter, while the deposit interest expense rose to 80 basis points.
    --  Provision expense decreased $6.6 million relative to the prior quarter.
    --  The managed net charge-off rate for Commercial Banking increased 149
        basis points in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 2.91 percent from 1.42
        percent in the prior quarter.
        --  Commercial lending - 2.04 percent, an increase of 96 basis points
            over the prior quarter.
        --  Small ticket commercial real estate - 13.08 percent, an increase of
            789 basis points over the prior quarter. The increase in the
            charge-of rate is primarily related to the write-down of a portfolio
            of small ticket CRE non-performing loans as the company moved them
            to held-for-sale. This move also resulted in a drop in the
            non-performing asset rate for small ticket CRE from 11.39 percent in
            the third quarter to 4.87 percent in the fourth quarter.
        --  Non-performing loans as a percentage of loans held for investment
            for Commercial Banking was 2.37 percent, a decrease of 28 basis
            points from 2.65 percent at the end of the prior quarter.

Consumer Banking highlights

For more lending information and statistics on the segment's results, please refer to the Financial Supplement.

Consumer Banking reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of $7.7 million compared to net income of $145.2 million in the third quarter. Revenue declined $73.9 million in the quarter. Provision expense increased $93.3 million, driven by seasonal increases in Auto Finance and continued deterioration in mortgage and home equity credit trends. Non-interest expense increased $68.1 million, or 10 percent relative to the prior quarter, as a result of several factors including planned expenses related to the integration of Chevy Chase Bank and investments to build a scalable banking infrastructure to ensure that the company is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities to grow our banking business.

    --  Average loans declined $2.0 billion, or 4.8 percent, to $39.1 billion
        compared to average loans of $41.1 billion in the prior quarter. Auto
        finance loans declined as a result of the company's earlier efforts to
        retrench the auto finance business.  Mortgage loans declined as the
        company continued to experience expected run off in the portfolio.
        --  Auto - declined $868.4 million, or 4.4 percent, to $18.8 billion.
        --  Mortgage - declined $581.0 million, or 3.6 percent, to $15.3
            billion.
        --  Retail banking - declined $512.3 million, or 9.3 percent, to $5.0
            billion.
    --  Average deposits in the Consumer Banking segment declined $0.3 billion,
        or 0.4 percent, to $73.0 billion during the fourth quarter from $73.3
        billion in the prior quarter. Improved deposit mix and favorable
        interest rates drove a 17 basis point improvement in the deposit
        interest expense rate in the fourth quarter.
    --  The managed net charge-off rate for Consumer Banking increased 16 basis
        points in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 2.85 percent from 2.69 percent
        in the prior quarter. The increase in Auto charge-offs resulted
        primarily from expected seasonal patterns and the impact of the decline
        in the denominator. Mortgage charge-offs were essentially flat.
        --  Auto - 4.55 percent, an increase of 17 basis points
        --  Mortgage - 0.71 percent, an increase of 2 basis points
        --  Retail banking -  3.03 percent, an increase of 59 basis points

                      FINANCIAL & STATISTICAL SUMMARY NOTES

    (1) In accordance with the Company's finance charge and fee revenue
     recognition policy, the amounts billed to customers but not recognized
     as revenue were as follows: Q4 2009 -$490.4 million, Q3 2009 -$517.0
     million, and Q4 2008 -$591.0 million.

    (2) Includes the impact from the change in fair value of retained
     interests, including the interest-only strips, of increases of $55.3
     million in Q4 2009 and $37.3 million in Q3 2009, and a decrease of
     $158.2 million in Q4 2008.

    (3) Includes core deposit intangible amortization expense of $53.8
     million in Q4 2009, $55.5 million in Q3 2009 and $46.0 million in Q4
     2008, and integration costs of $22.1 million in Q4 2009, $10.7 million
     in Q3 2009, and $3.2 million in Q4 2008.

    (4) Allowance as a % of Reported Loans Held for Investment, Net Charge-
     off Rate and 30+ Day Performing Delinquency Rate on both a Reported and
     Managed basis include period end loans held for investment and average
     loans held for investment acquired as part of the Chevy Chase Bank, FSB
     (CCB) acquisition. The reported and managed metrics excluding such loans
     are as follows. The net charge-off dollars were unchanged.



                                                       Q4 2009   Q3 2009(8)

    (5) In Q4 2008 the Company recorded impairment of goodwill in its
     automobile business of $810.9 million.

    (6) Excludes the impact of the goodwill impairment of $810.9 million.

    (7) Average equity includes the impact of the Company's participation in
     the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program. On November 14, 2008, the
     Company issued 3,555,199 preferred shares and 12,657,960 warrants to
     purchase common shares at $42.13 per share, while receiving proceeds of
     $3.56 billion.  The allocated fair value for the preferred shares and
     the warrants to purchase common shares was $3.06 billion and $491.5
     million, respectively. On June 17, 2009, the Company repurchased all
     3,555,199 preferred shares issued in Q4 2008 for approximately $3.57
     billion, including accrued dividends. The warrants to purchase common
     shares were sold by the U.S. Treasury on December 11, 2009 at a price of
     $11.75 per warrant. The sale by the US Treasury had no impact on the
     company's equity. The warrants remain outstanding and are included in
     paid-in capital on the balance sheet.

    (8) Results and balances have been recast to reflect the impact of
     purchase accounting adjustments from the Chevy Chase Bank acquisition as
     if those adjustments had been recorded at the acquisition date as the
     purchase accounting has been finalized during Q4 2009.  The following
     highlights the changes to key line items from what was previously
     disclosed.

      STATISTICS / METRIC DEFINITIONS
      -------------------------------


    (A)  Based on continuing operations.  Average equity and return on
    equity are based on the Company's stockholders' equity.

    (B)  Risk adjusted margin equals total revenue less net charge-offs
    as a percentage of average earning assets.

    (C)  Efficiency ratio equals non-interest expense less restructuring
    expense divided by total revenue.

    (D)  Tangible assets include managed assets less intangible assets
    and is considered a non-GAAP measure.  See accompanying schedule
    Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures for a reconciliation of
    tangible assets

    (E)  Includes stockholders' equity less preferred shares less
    intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities.  Tangible
    Common Equity on a reported and managed basis is the same and is
    considered a non-GAAP measure.  See accompanying schedule
    Reconciliation To GAAP Financial Measures for a reconciliation of
    tangible common equity.

    (F)  Net income (loss) available to common shareholders equals net
    income (loss) less dividends on preferred shares.

    (G)  Earnings per share is based on net income (loss) available to
    common shareholders.

    (H)  Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio ("TCE Ratio") is
    considered a non-GAAP measure. See accompanying schedule
    Reconciliation To GAAP Financial Measures for a reconciliation of
    the TCE Ratio.


    CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
    Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures

    (dollars in thousands)(unaudited)

    The Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
    are referred to as its "reported" financial statements.  Loans
    included in securitization transactions which qualified as sales
    under GAAP have been removed from the Company's "reported" balance
    sheet.  However, servicing fees, finance charges, and other fees,
    net of charge-offs, and interest paid to investors of
    securitizations are recognized as servicing and securitizations
    income on the "reported" income statement.

    The Company's "managed" consolidated financial statements reflect
    adjustments made related to effects of securitization transactions
    qualifying as sales under GAAP.  The Company generates earnings from
    its "managed" loan portfolio which includes both the on-balance
    sheet loans and off-balance sheet loans.  The Company's "managed"
    income statement takes the components of the servicing and
    securitizations income generated from the securitized portfolio and
    distributes the revenue and expense to appropriate income statement
    line items from which they originated.  For this reason the Company
    believes the "managed" consolidated financial statements and related
    managed metrics to be useful to stakeholders.

    The table below presents a reconciliation of tangible common equity
    and tangible assets, which are the components used to calculate the
    tangible common equity "TCE" ratio.  The Company believes the TCE
    ratio is an important financial measure of capital strength to our
    investors and readers even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP
    measure.
