·                  Revenues grew 59%, primarily driven by higher purchase sales and average loans, up 37% and 53%, respectively, and a $448 million pre-tax gain on Visa, Inc shares.  Excluding the gain, revenues increased 32%.  Loan balances grew at a double-digit pace in all regions.  Results include the impact of recent acquisitions.

 

·                  Expenses increased 31% driven by increased business volumes and the impact of recent acquisitions.

 

·                  Credit costs increased 9% as a decline in net credit losses was offset by an increase in loan loss reserves.  Net credit losses declined as higher losses in Mexico and portfolio growth were offset by the impact of recent acquisitions.  A charge of $149 million pre-tax to increase loan loss reserves primarily reflected portfolio growth.

 

·                  Net income more than doubled, driven by strong volume growth and the gain on Visa, Inc. shares.  Excluding the Visa gain, net income increased 68%.

1Q06 vs. 1Q05

        Revenues, net of interest expense, increased, driven by an 8% increase in purchase sales and 14% growth in average receivables across the regions.

        Operating expenses increased, reflecting continued investment in organic growth, costs associated with a labor settlement in Korea, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) of $9 million, and volume growth across the region. This was partially offset by the absence of 2005 first quarter repositioning expenses of $13 million.

        Provision for loan losses reflected higher loan loss reserves of $99 million, driven by the industry-wide credit deterioration in Taiwan and an increase in net credit losses in Mexico, reflecting portfolio growth and target market expansion.

        Net Income also reflected a $20 million tax benefit resulting from the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit.
