NetBank, Inc. Reports Loss of $.68 per Share for the Second Quarter

Mortgage Pricing Pressures and Other Market Factors Weigh on Results; Management Pursues Multiple Initiatives to Improve Performance


ATLANTA, Aug. 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- NetBank, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTBK), a diversified financial services provider and parent company of NetBank(r) (www.netbank.com), today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The company recorded an after-tax loss of $31.4 million or $.68 per share for the period, compared with after-tax income of $2.3 million or $.05 per share during the same quarter a year ago. On a year-to-date basis, the company recorded an after-tax loss of $42.4 million or $.92 per share, versus after-tax income of $296,000 or $.01 per share during the first half of 2005.

As seen in the 2006 year-to-date results above, second quarter performance worsened from an after-tax loss of $.24 per share in the first quarter. Current quarter results include a number of charges. These items and other drivers behind the change in performance from last quarter to this quarter appear below. All comparisons are on a sequential quarter basis unless noted otherwise. Many of these drivers are addressed in greater detail later in this release.



 -- Further Reduction in Earning Assets. Average earning
    assets declined by $285 million to $4.3 billion as
    management continued to moderate asset growth to maintain
    its internal targets for risk-based capital ratios.
 -- Less Mortgage Activity. Mortgage originations and sales
    softened during the quarter based on origination trends
    in general as well as the company's decision during the
    quarter to cut capacity and emphasize a more limited set
    of products in its non-conforming operation. Conforming
    and non-conforming production totaled $2.6 billion, a
    decrease of $233 million. Following the decline in
    production, sales eased by $400 million to $2.5 billion.
 -- Heightened Mortgage Repurchase Activity. Our indirect
    conforming and non-conforming mortgage operations experienced
    markedly higher repurchase requests on loans previously
    delivered to investors. Provision expense within our
    Financial Intermediary segment totaled $20.3 million
    this quarter, an increase of $13.2 million from last
    quarter.
 -- Negative Net Servicing Results. Net servicing losses
    steepened from $5.8 million, pre-tax, a quarter ago to
    $16.7 million, pre-tax, this quarter. This quarter's
    results include a $15.0 million pre-tax charge to the
    carrying value of the company's portfolio of mortgage
    servicing rights ("MSRs") that the company is actively
    marketing for sale. Management recorded the impairment
    charge based on market data it has gathered during the
    sales process. The adjustment brings our valuation into
    closer alignment with the valuation estimates observed
    in the third-party marketing data.
 -- Goodwill Impairment. Management wrote off goodwill on the
    company's recreational vehicle, boat and aircraft lending
    business following the second quarter, which tends to be
    the operation's busiest season. Production and performance
    within the channel remained below historical results and
    our internal projections. The business continues to be
    adversely impacted by rising fuel costs and slower boat sales
    following the severe hurricane season of 2005. We concluded
    that the existing level of goodwill no longer accurately
    reflected the value of the operation's brand and other
    market intangibles in today's more challenging environment
    and that a pre-tax impairment to goodwill of $6.4 million
    was warranted.

The company's board of directors did not declare a dividend. In serving shareholder interests, the board felt it was more prudent to protect the company's capital base and tangible book value from further erosion than to support a dividend at this time. The board continues to view dividends as an attractive way to distribute shareholder wealth and create additional value. It intends to consider returning a dividend when current earnings pressures abate and meaningful profitability is restored.

Management Commentary

"Quarterly results remain unacceptable," said Douglas K. Freeman, chairman and chief executive officer. "The company's performance continues to be adversely impacted by the flat yield curve and relentless pricing and operating pressures we and other institutions are experiencing on the mortgage side of our businesses. In light of these conditions, our number one priority is to protect shareholder equity to the extent possible without sacrificing the components of our franchise that have the greatest long-term value.

"We announced previously that we were evaluating our various lines of business from a risk-adjusted return on capital standpoint so we can redirect resources in a disciplined, strategic way. As part of this effort, we have made staffing reductions in underperforming areas. We are also pursuing a sale of our mortgage servicing platform and portfolio of mortgage servicing rights. This process is ongoing, and we remain optimistic in our ability to get a deal done to free up capital currently allocated to this asset.

"Our efforts do not end there," Freeman continued. "We made a number of changes in our non-conforming operation during the quarter. We moved our focus to a set of products that tend to carry better margins and less repurchase risk. This change allowed us to cut staffing by approximately 16%. We are also evaluating other opportunities for this business since we are increasingly concerned that the non-conforming environment will remain under duress for a protracted period. Other institutions announced similar concerns along with their intent to explore alternatives for their non-conforming operations.

"We are also addressing performance within our recreational vehicle, boat and aircraft lending operation. We recently reorganized the business under our auto lending unit. This integration will allow us to deliver more effectively on the synergy that exists between these businesses and drive improved sales volumes. We still believe in its long-term earnings potential as well as the cross-sell opportunities that exist given the similarities between the underlying borrowers and our online banking customers.

"Execution of these initiatives will move us back toward profitability and keep us well positioned to build on the momentum we have seen elsewhere in our company," Freeman concluded. "We have built a profitable bank with a highly attractive deposit and customer base. Our retail mortgage business, Market Street Mortgage, has maintained consistent profitability and grown its market share. Our deposit and payment forwarding service, QuickPost(sm), is also meeting with wide market interest and acceptance. These businesses represent tremendous, hidden value in our organization today, and we continue to believe that they will serve as the key to significant shareholder return over time."

Retail Banking Segment Performance

Table 1 below details results in the company's Retail Banking segment. Pre-tax income for the segment totaled $788,000, a decrease of $897,000 from last quarter. Interest income remained under pressure during the quarter, but the majority of the decline relates to increased variable expense with QuickPost. QuickPost and related initiatives had a $3.2 million negative effect on the banking segment's bottom line. Exclusive of these initiatives, the segment's overall expense ratio remained relatively flat at 160 basis points ("bps").

QuickPost was initially developed for and rolled out to our bank customers. Management has stated previously that we intend to break out the operation as a channel and move it into our Transaction Processing segment. We have routinely reviewed our financial reporting methodology at the beginning of each year to make refinements or enhancements. We plan to do so again in 2007 and will consider separate reporting for QuickPost at that time. We have added a line item for QuickPost and related initiatives to the Retail Banking table below as well as to corresponding schedules in the financial supplement on our Web site. This additional transparency should provide investors a better understanding of pure banking performance.

Quarterly expenses associated with QuickPost are likely to level off in the coming quarters. These costs are largely driven by the number of UPS Stores sending packages on a daily basis. Approximately two-thirds of the 4,100 stores in the network generate packages right now on a given day. This penetration rate may increase, but it is unlikely to ever run at 100%. Management is now focused on driving greater revenue in its effort to move the operation toward profitability. Revenue is tied to the number of third-party deposits or payments included in the packages since the company receives a fee for processing those items. The more third-party items in the package, the higher the revenue.

Average earning assets within the banking segment declined by $285 million during the quarter due to lower mortgage production and a sale of home equity loans. Management elected to sell $104 million in home equity loans held by the bank as part of its overall capital management strategy. Home equity loans are included in the 100% risk weighted category in terms of risk-based capital calculations. The sale generated $308,000 in revenue and a $1.9 million reversal in provision expense.

Additional performance drivers behind Retail Banking segment performance include the following. All comparisons are on a sequential quarter basis unless noted otherwise.



 -- Deposits decreased by $101 million or 3.6%. The decline in
    deposits was basically split between a drop in retail
    deposits and escrow funds within our mortgage servicing
    operation. The marketplace for retail deposits remains hyper
    competitive. Management is somewhat impeded in its ability
    to compete aggressively for deposits given the company's
    current earnings pressure and need to balance the benefits
    of higher marketing costs with reduced operating expenses.
 -- Our business finance operation contributed pre-tax earnings
    of $3.3 million, an increase of $230,000 or 7.0%. Its
    production rose by $7.2 million or 14.0% to $58.5 million.
 -- Our auto lending business continues to show marked improvement
    in its profitability. Its pre-tax earnings increased from
    $54,000 to $229,000.

Financial Intermediary Segment Performance

Table 2 below details results in the company's Financial Intermediary segment. The segment reported a pre-tax loss of $22.9 million this quarter compared with a loss of $4.0 million last quarter. The difference in quarter-over-quarter performance relates primarily to the heightened repurchase activity mentioned above. We experienced a significant increase in repurchase demands within both our conforming and non-conforming channels. As a result of the larger-than-anticipated volume, provision expense for the quarter totaled $20.3 million, an increase of $13.2 million over last quarter.

Provision expense is taken as a direct deduction from gain on sale income. The segment's revenue margin fell to 42 bps, a decline of 64 bps from a quarter ago. The heightened provision cost accounted for most of the decrease. The segment's operating expense ratio crept up slightly, but the increase was a function of the decline in overall production. In terms of absolute dollars, expenses within the segment came down by more than $1.4 million.

We believe the increased frequency of repurchase demands is indicative of a larger trend where investors are being more assertive in returning delinquent or problematic loans. We constantly analyze the main reasons behind repurchase demands to improve internal processes and protocols to ensure we meet the required underwriting and documentation standards.

 -- Conforming production totaled $2.1 billion, a decrease of
    4.8%. Conforming sales declined by 11.0% to $2.0 billion.
    Although pricing pressures within the channel remain
    pronounced, management has made progress in its effort to
    streamline the operation's capital markets execution and to
    further diversify its production into alternate loan products.
    Without the heightened provision expense, conforming
    performance would have been near breakeven this quarter.
 -- Non-conforming production fell by 20.9% to $479 million as
    management narrowed the focus of the operation and reduced
    capacity accordingly. Non-conforming sales fell in turn to
    $538 million, a decrease of 22.7%.

Transaction Processing Segment Performance

Table 3 below details results in the company's Transaction Processing segment. Pre-tax income totaled $631,000, a decrease of $867,000 from last quarter. The decline in income is centered primarily in the company's ATM and merchant processing operation. This business recorded a pre-tax loss of $640,000 for the quarter based on charge-offs relating to past due receivables and revenue accruals.

Additional performance drivers behind Transaction Processing segment performance include the following. All comparisons are on a sequential quarter basis unless noted otherwise.



 -- The number of ATMs in our network declined by 8.7% to 8,750
    machines. The ATMs that dropped from the network were
    inactive locations. The total number of ATM transactions
    processed during the quarter actually rose by 6.9% to
    7.6 million.
 -- Our number of merchant processing terminals in deployment
    slipped by 6.4% to 2,180. The volume of transactions cleared
    through these terminals was off by 2.8% to $46.5 million.
    Management remains committed to growing this line of business
    and believes it can reverse the current trend through its
    ongoing sales effort.

Servicing Asset Segment Performance

Table 4 below details results in the company's Servicing Asset segment. The segment reported a pre-tax loss of $16.7 million compared with a pre-tax loss of $5.8 million last quarter. Current quarter results include a $15.0 million impairment charge to the carrying value of the company's portfolio of MSRs. Management announced a plan to pursue a sale of this asset last quarter as part of its ongoing capital management program. A sale could enable us to free up some of the capital currently allocated to the asset and use it to fund additional growth at the bank or in other parts of our business.

We noted in our initial discussion of the proposed sale that the carrying value of our servicing asset might be plus or minus 10% of market averages. Marketing ranges, bids and other data we have gathered thus far in the sales process suggested that our valuation was high relative to current market conditions. We elected to adjust our valuation to bring it into closer alignment with the midpoint we observed in the data.

The sales process is ongoing. Based on our efforts to date and feedback from various market participants, we remain optimistic on our ability to execute a deal at a satisfactory price.

 -- The unpaid balance of the MSRs in our portfolio continues
    to decline as underlying mortgages prepay. The balance
    currently averages $12.8 billion, a decrease of $373 million
    or 2.8%.

Third Quarter Earnings Outlook

Short-term earnings remain under pressure due to the flat yield curve, competitive operating pressures within our mortgage channels and other market factors discussed earlier in this release. Management is executing a series of initiatives to blunt the impact of these adverse conditions as much as possible. However, the full benefit of these initiatives will likely take several quarters to materialize. The risk for an additional loss in the third quarter therefore exists.

The current analyst estimates for the company's third quarter results range from income of $.01 per share to a loss of $.16 per share. Given the outlook above, we are presently biased toward the bottom of the range. Continued operating pressures within our mortgage businesses and the potential for significant negative net servicing results remain as risks that could drive performance below our current expectations.

Supplemental Financial Data

The company posts additional financial information directly to its Web site. We publish a report that breaks out quarterly results by line of business within each segment. The data is presented in a five-quarter format where current quarter results are shown alongside results from the most recent four quarters. This report is designed to give interested parties a more granular look at the company's results and to make it easier for them to monitor performance trends.

You can access this material at www.netbankinc.com. Go to the "Investor Relations" area and click on the "Financial Data" link. Within this same area, we post a monthly report that shows key operating statistics for the company's major lines of business. Management also uses this report to update the company's quarterly earnings guidance as needed. The company publishes this report around the 20th of each month and files it simultaneously with the Securities Exchange Commission under Form 8-K.

Conference Call Information

Management has scheduled a conference call to discuss today's reported results with investors, financial analysts and other interested parties. The call will be held today at 10 a.m. EDT. Interested parties may dial in or listen via an audiocast on the company's Web site.

Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that reflect management's current expectations, assumptions, and estimates of future performance and economic conditions. Such statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Forward-looking statements in this press release include but are not limited to: 1) The prospects for better sales performance out of the recreational vehicle, boat and aircraft lending business after it is integrated into the auto lending unit; 2) Execution of management's various strategic initiatives helping the company curb losses and restore profitability; 3) Management's ability to achieve a favorable sale of the servicing platform and/or servicing asset; and 4) Sales efforts generating a significant number of new ATM and/or merchant processing relationships.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and future trends to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. The company's consolidated results of operations and such forward-looking statements could be affected by many factors, including but not limited to: 1) the evolving nature of the market for internet banking and financial services generally; 2) the public's perception of the internet as a secure, reliable channel for transactions; 3) the success of new products and lines of business considered critical to the company's long-term strategy, such as small business banking and transaction processing services; 4) potential difficulties in integrating the company's operations across its multiple lines of business; 5) the cyclical nature of the mortgage banking industry generally; 6) a possible decline in asset quality; 7) changes in general economic or operating conditions that could adversely affect mortgage loan production and sales, mortgage servicing rights, loan delinquency rates and/or loan defaults; 8) the possible adverse effects of unexpected changes in the interest rate environment; 9) adverse legal rulings, particularly in the company's litigation over leases originated by Commercial Money Center, Inc.; and 10) increased competition and regulatory changes.

Further information relating to these and other factors that may impact the company's results of operations and such forward-looking statements are disclosed in the company's filings with the SEC, including under the caption "Item 1A.
