Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the financial results: "Despite continued industry-wide headwinds in Markets and Mortgage, the firm has continued to deliver strong underlying performance. Consumer & Community Banking deposit growth and card sales volume both outpaced the industry2, and we had record loan originations in Business Banking. The Corporate & Investment Bank saw strong performance in fees with #1 position in Global IB fees YTD, global debt and equity, global syndicated loans and global long-term debt. Commercial Banking clients generated record investment banking revenues in the first half of the year. Asset Management had excellent performance across all measures."

Dimon continued: "Toward the end of the second quarter, we saw encouraging signs across our businesses including an uptick in wholesale utilization, strengthening pipelines in our commercial and business banking segments, and some improvements in markets activity. While it is too early to assume that this momentum will continue, we have confidence in the long-term growth of the economy.

"Consumers, middle market companies and corporations are in increasingly good financial shape and the labor market is showing steady improvement. JPMorgan Chase provided credit and raised capital of over $1.0 trillion for our clients during the first half of 2014, which included $10 billion for U.S. small businesses."

Dimon concluded: "This quarter marked the 10-year anniversary of JPMorgan Chase and Bank One coming together - the company overcame significant challenges and achieved extraordinary things during this time. Each of our businesses is among the best in the world, with increased market share, strong earnings performance and power, and an unwavering focus on serving our clients, communities and shareholders with distinction and dedication. We continue our progress on adapting to the new global financial architecture and on our control agenda. My pride in the company is greater than ever."

(*)Presented on a managed basis. See note on page 12 for further explanation of managed basis. Net revenue on a U.S. GAAP basis totaled $24.5 billion, $23.0 billion, and $25.2 billion for the second quarter of 2014, first quarter of 2014, and second quarter of 2013, respectively.

Discussion of Results:
Net income was $6.0 billion, down $511 million from the prior year. The decrease was driven by higher provision for credit losses and lower net revenue, partially offset by lower noninterest expense.

Net revenue was $25.3 billion, down $609 million, or 2%, compared with the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $14.3 billion, down $782 million, or 5%, compared with the prior year. Net interest income was $11.0 billion, up $173 million, or 2%, compared with the prior year, reflecting the impact of higher investment securities yields, lower long-term debt and deposit yields, and higher loan balances, largely offset by lower loan yields and lower trading balances.

The provision for credit losses was $692 million, compared with $47 million from the prior year. The total consumer provision for credit losses was $848 million, compared with a benefit of $29 million in the prior year. The current-quarter consumer provision reflected a $354 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses, compared to a $1.5 billion reduction in the prior year. The current-quarter consumer allowance release primarily reflects the continued improvement in home prices and delinquencies. Consumer net charge-offs were $1.2 billion, compared with $1.5 billion in the prior year, resulting in net charge-off rates of 1.34% and 1.66%, respectively. The wholesale provision for credit losses was a benefit of $156 million, compared with an expense of $76 million in the prior year. Wholesale net recoveries were $44 million, compared with net recoveries of $67 million in the prior year, resulting in net recovery rate of 0.06% and 0.09%, respectively. The Firm's allowance for loan losses to period-end loans retained1 was 1.69%, compared with 2.06% in the prior year. The Firm's nonperforming assets totaled $9.0 billion, down from the prior quarter and prior year levels of $9.5 billion and $11.0 billion, respectively.

Noninterest expense was $15.4 billion, down $435 million, or 3%, compared with the prior year, driven by lower expense in mortgage production and servicing and lower performance-related compensation in the Corporate & Investment Bank, predominantly offset by higher cost of controls. The current quarter noninterest expense included $669 million of legal expense, compared with $678 million of legal expense in the prior year.

Key Metrics and Business Updates:
(All comparisons refer to the prior-year quarter except as noted)

  • Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 ratio1 was 9.8%.
  • Headcount was 245,192, a decrease of 8,871, compared with the prior year.

1. Notes on non-GAAP financial measures:

  1. In addition to analyzing the Firm's results on a reported basis, management reviews the Firm's consolidated results and the results of the lines of business on a "managed" basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Firm's definition of managed basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results and includes certain reclassifications to present total consolidated net revenue for the Firm (and for each of the business segments) on a fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") basis. Accordingly, revenue from investments that receive tax credits and tax-exempt securities is presented in the managed results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This non-GAAP financial measure allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded within income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on consolidated net income/(loss) as reported by the Firm or on net income/(loss) as reported by the lines of business.
  2. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans excludes the following: loans accounted for at fair value and loans held-for-sale; purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loans; and the allowance for loan losses related to PCI loans. Additionally, Real Estate Portfolios net charge-offs and net charge-off rates exclude the impact of PCI loans.
  3. Tangible common equity ("TCE") and return on tangible common equity ("ROTCE") are each non-GAAP financial measures. TCE represents the Firm's common stockholders' equity (i.e., total stockholders' equity less preferred stock) less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE measures the Firm's earnings as a percentage of TCE. TCE and ROTCE are meaningful to the Firm, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Firm's use of equity, as well as facilitating comparisons of the Firm with competitors.
  4. Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital and the CET1 ratio under the Basel III Advanced Fully Phased-In rules, and the U.S. proposed supplementary leverage ratio ("SLR") are each non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are used by management, bank regulators, investors and analysts to assess and monitor the Firm's capital position. For additional information on these measures, see Regulatory capital on pages 161-165 of JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and on pages 63-68 of the Firm's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
  5. The CIB provides non-GAAP financial measures, as such measures are used by management to assess the underlying performance of the business and for comparability with peers.
    • The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans excludes the impact of consolidated Firm-administered multi-seller conduits and trade finance loans, to provide a more meaningful assessment of CIB's allowance coverage ratio.
    • Prior to January 1, 2014, the CIB provided non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of FVA (effective fourth quarter 2013) and DVA on net revenue and net income. Beginning in the first quarter 2014, the Firm does not exclude FVA and DVA from its assessment of business performance; however, the Firm continues to present these non-GAAP measures for the periods prior to January 1, 2014, as they reflected how management assessed the underlying business performance of the CIB in those prior periods.

2. Additional notes on financial measures:

  1. Core loans include loans considered central to the Firm's ongoing businesses; core loans exclude runoff portfolios, discontinued portfolios and portfolios the Firm has an intent to exit.
  2. Headcount-related expense includes salary and benefits (excluding performance-based incentives), and other noncompensation costs related to employees.
  3. Consumer & Community Banking allocated equity includes $3.0 billion of capital held at the Consumer & Community Banking level related to legacy mortgage servicing matters.
  4. The credit and debit volume metric is based on Nilson data as of 2013.
  5. Consumer & Business Banking deposit rankings are based on the Firm's and peer disclosures as of the first quarter of 2014.
  6. Mortgage Banking provision for credit losses is included in the functional results of Real Estate Portfolios, in production expense in Mortgage Production, and in core servicing expense in Mortgage Servicing.
  7. Credit card sales volume is presented excluding Commercial Card. Rankings and comparison of general purpose credit card sales volume are based on disclosures by peers and internal estimates. Rankings are as of the first quarter of 2014.
  8. Global Visa ranking based on consumer and business credit card sales volume is based on Visa data as of 1Q14.
  9. The eCommerce volume metric for the top 500 internet merchants is based on the 2013 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.
  10. Asset Management pretax margin represents income before income tax expense divided by total net revenue which is, in management's view, a comprehensive measure of pretax performance derived by measuring earnings after all costs are taken into consideration. It is, therefore, another basis that management uses to evaluate the performance of Asset Management against the performance of its peers.
  11. The amount of credit provided to clients represents new and renewed credit, including loans and commitments. The amount of credit provided to small businesses reflects loans and increased lines of credit provided by Consumer & Business Banking; Card, Merchant Services & Auto; and Commercial Banking. The amount of credit provided to nonprofit and government entities, including states, municipalities, hospitals and universities, represents that provided by the Corporate & Investment Bank and Commercial Banking.
