FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | |
SALLIE MAE REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Full-Year Private Education Loan Originations of $4.1 Billion
Private Education Loan Portfolio Grows to $8.2 Billion, Up 27 Percent Year-over-Year
Net Interest Income Up 25 Percent Year-over-Year
Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Facility Closing Caps Successful Year in Capital Markets
NEWARK, Del., Jan.�21, 2015��Sallie Mae (NASDAQ: SLM), formally SLM Corporation, today released fourth-quarter 2014 and full-year 2014 financial results that include the effects of $4.1 billion in private education loan originations, up 7�percent from last year; a 27-percent increase in private education loan portfolio size to $8.2 billion; and net interest income of $578 million, up 25 percent from 2013.
In a year of significant change, Sallie Mae achieved the legal separation of Navient, established a market for the sale and securitization of its private education loans and completed the roll out of its own, independent servicing and customer support capabilities. Most recently, the company closed a $750 million asset-backed commercial paper facility.
2014 was a year of many accomplishments, said Raymond Quinlan, chairman and CEO. We managed the extraordinary demands of successfully completing the spin from the preexisting company while strengthening our customer franchise and assisting 367,000 students and families to pay for college.
For the fourth-quarter 2014, GAAP net income was $20 million ($.03 diluted earnings per share), down from $60 million ($.14�diluted earnings per share) in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year decrease was attributable to a $64-million decrease in gains on sales of securities and a $12-million increase in operating expenses, partially offset by a $28-million increase in net interest income.
For 2014, GAAP net income was $194 million ($.42 diluted earnings per share), down from $259 million ($.58�diluted earnings per share) in 2013.
Core earnings for the quarter were $20 million ($.03 diluted earnings per share), compared with $61 million ($.14 diluted earnings per share) in the year-ago quarter.
Core earnings for the year were $195 million ($.42 diluted earnings per share), compared with $259 million ($.58 diluted earnings per share) for 2013.
Sallie Mae provides core basis earnings because management believes its derivatives are effective economic hedges, and, as such are a critical element of its interest rate risk management strategy, and, consequently, it is one of several measures used to evaluate management performance. The difference between core earnings and GAAP net income is driven by mark-to-market unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts not in effective accounting hedges and hedge ineffectiveness that are recognized in GAAP, but not in core earnings results. Fourth-quarter 2014 and full-year 2014 GAAP results included $62�thousand and $2 million, respectively, of pre-tax losses from derivative accounting treatment that are excluded from core earnings results, vs. $527 thousand and $645 thousand, respectively, in the year-ago periods.
Fourth-quarter 2014 private education loan portfolio results vs. fourth-quarter 2013 included:
" | Loan originations of $557 million, up 7 percent. |
" | Net interest income of $151 million, up 23 percent. |
" | Average private education loans outstanding increased $1.7 billion to $8.1 billion. |
" | Average yield on the private education loan portfolio was 8.07 percent compared with 8.17 percent. |
" | Provision for loan losses was $30 million, up from $28 million. |
" | Loans in forbearance increased to 2.6 percent of loans in repayment and forbearance. |
" | Delinquencies as a percentage of private education loans in repayment increased to 2.0 percent. |
Year-over-year private education loan portfolio performance continues to be affected by changes in the companys business practices undertaken in connection with the Navient spin-off. Most notably, the company changed its policy to charge off loans after 120 days of delinquency and changed its loss confirmation period from two years to one year to reflect both the shorter charge-off policy and its related servicing practices. Prior to the spin-off, Sallie Mae Bank also sold all loans past 90 days delinquent to an affiliate now owned by Navient. Consequently, many of the pre-spin-off, historical credit indicators and period-over-period trends are not comparable and may not be indicative of future performance.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $88 million in fourth-quarter 2014 (including $10 million of reorganization expenses), compared with $76 million of operating expenses in the year-ago quarter (which included $11 million reserved for compliance-related restitution).
Operating expenses were $316 million for the full-year 2014 (including $38 million of reorganization expenses), compared with $275 million in 2013. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of increased personnel costs related to being a stand-alone company as well as reorganization costs.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense declined to $24 million in fourth-quarter 2014 from $37 million in the prior-year quarter. The company recorded a net reserve of $7 million for uncertain historical tax positions which resulted in an increase to our effective tax rate to 55 percent in fourth-quarter 2014. Absent these adjustments, the companys effective tax rate would have been approximately 39 percent in fourth-quarter 2014, compared with an effective tax rate of 38 percent in the prior-year quarter.�
The companys effective tax rate increased to 42 percent in 2014 from 38 percent in 2013.�The increase in the effective tax rate for 2014 was primarily the result of additional reserves related to uncertain historical tax positions. The increase is specific to fourth-quarter 2014 and should not significantly affect the companys effective tax rate going forward.
Capital
The regulatory capital ratios of the companys Sallie Mae Bank subsidiary continue to exceed guidelines to be considered well capitalized. At Dec. 31, 2014, Sallie Mae Banks regulatory capital ratios were as follows:
Dec. 31, 2014��������Well Capitalized Regulatory Requirements
Tier 1 leverage������������11.5 percent������������ 5.0 percent
Tier 1 risk-based capital��������15.0 percent������������ 6.0 percent
Total risk-based capital��������15.9 percent������������10.0 percent
Deposits
Deposits at Sallie Mae Bank totaled $11.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, compared with $9.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2013. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in money market accounts. The percentage of brokered deposits to total deposits decreased to 60 percent at Dec. 31, 2014, from 63 percent at Dec. 31, 2013.
Guidance
The company expects 2015 results to be as follows:
" | Full-year private education loan originations of $4.3 billion. |
" | Full-year operating expenses of $325 million, plus an additional $5 million of reorganization expenses. |
" | Full-year loan sales of $1.5 billion. |
" | Provision for private education loan losses between approximately $116 million and $130 million. |
" | Full-year diluted core earnings per share between $0.48 and $0.50. |

This press release contains forward-looking statements and information based on managements current expectations as of the date of this release. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the companys beliefs or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Item�1A Risk Factors and elsewhere in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec.�31, 2013 (filed with the SEC on Feb. 19, 2014), the companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, and the companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2014; increases in financing costs; limits on liquidity; increases in costs associated with compliance with laws and regulations; changes in accounting standards and the impact of related changes in significant accounting estimates; any adverse outcomes in any significant litigation to which the company is a party; credit risk associated with the companys exposure to third parties, including counterparties to the companys derivative transactions; and changes in the terms of student loans and the educational credit marketplace (including changes resulting from new laws and the implementation of existing laws). The company could also be affected by, among other things: changes in its funding costs and availability; failures of its operating systems or infrastructure, including those of third-party vendors; failure to implement the recently executed separation of the company into two separate publicly traded companies, including failure to transition its origination and servicing operations as planned, increased costs in connection with being a stand-alone company, and failure to achieve the expected benefits of the separation; damage to its reputation; changes in the demand for educational financing or in financing preferences of lenders, educational institutions, students and their families; changes in law and regulations with respect to the student lending business and financial institutions generally; changes in banking rules and regulations, including increased capital requirements; increased competition from banks and other consumer lenders; the creditworthiness of its customers; changes in the general interest rate environment, including the rate relationships among relevant money-market instruments and those of its earning assets vs. its funding arrangements; and changes in general economic conditions. The preparation of the companys consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions including estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates or assumptions may prove to be incorrect. All forward-looking statements contained in this release are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this release. The company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to conform the statement to actual results or changes in its expectations.
In connection with the spin-off of Navient Corporation, the company conformed its policy with that of Sallie Mae Bank to charge off loans after 120 days of delinquency. The company also changed its loss confirmation period from two years to one year to reflect both the shorter charge-off policy and its related servicing practices. Prior to the spin-off, Sallie Mae Bank sold all loans past 90 days delinquent to an affiliate of what is now Navient Corporation. Post-spin-off, sales of delinquent loans to Navient Corporation have been significantly curtailed. Consequently, many of the pre-spin-off, historical credit indicators and period-over-period trends are not comparable and may not be indicative of future performance.

The company reports financial results on a GAAP basis and also provides certain Core Earnings performance measures. The difference between the companys Core Earnings and GAAP results for the periods presented were the unrealized, mark-to-market gains/losses on derivative contracts. These are recognized in GAAP but not in Core Earnings results. The company provides Core Earnings measures because this is what management uses when making management decisions regarding the companys performance and the allocation of corporate resources. The companys Core Earnings are not defined terms within GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
For additional information, see Key Financial Measures -Core Earnings in the companys Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2014 for a further discussion and the Core Earnings to GAAP Reconciliation table in this press release, for a complete reconciliation between GAAP net income and Core Earnings.

(1) Derivative Accounting: Core Earnings exclude periodic unrealized gains and losses caused by the mark-to-market valuations on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP, as well as the periodic unrealized gains and losses that are a result of ineffectiveness recognized related to effective hedges under GAAP. Under GAAP, for our derivatives held to maturity, the cumulative net unrealized gain or loss over the life of the contract will equal $0.
(2) Core Earnings tax rate is based on the effective tax rate at the Bank where the derivative instruments are held.
