NetBank, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results

Reorganization Charges Drive Loss of $1.58 Per Share


ATLANTA, Nov. 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- NetBank, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTBK), parent company of NetBank(r) (www.netbank.com) and a leading mortgage lender, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The company recorded an after-tax loss of $73.3 million or $1.58 per share for the period, compared with an after-tax loss of $1.4 million or $.03 per share during the same quarter a year ago. On a year-to-date basis, the company recorded an after-tax loss of $116 million or $2.50 per share, versus a net loss of $1.1 million or $.02 per share during the first nine months of 2005.

Book value declined by $1.22 per share from $7.48 on June 30, 2006 to $6.26 on September 30, 2006. However, the impact on the company's tangible book value was substantially less. Tangible book value declined $.70 per share from $5.80 on June 30, 2006 to $5.10 on September 30, 2006. On an after-tax basis, the reported loss included a $19.5 million expense of non-deductible goodwill and a $2.4 million expense of deductible goodwill, both of which did not negatively impact tangible book value. In addition, the company sold certain on-balance sheet investments allocated as economic hedges of its mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") during the quarter. The unrealized loss on these securities was already deducted from tangible book value on June 30 through other comprehensive loss included in the equity section of the balance sheet. Thus, the realized loss on those securities did not impact tangible book value. (Details related to amounts excluded from tangible book value are provided in the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.)

The company's after-tax loss increased by $42.0 million on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Key trends worth noting include the following. All comparisons are on a sequential quarter basis unless noted otherwise.


  -- Decreased Earning Assets. The bank's average earning assets
     were down $348 million to $4.0 billion. The primary drivers of
     the decrease were the sale of $336 million of investment
     securities and $27.4 million of home equity loans during the
     quarter.

  -- Lower Net Interest Margin. The banking segment's net interest
     margin fell by 0.14% to 1.46% due to continuation of the flat
     yield curve, lower average asset balances and higher deposit
     costs.

  -- Flat Mortgage Production and Sales. Mortgage production in all
     channels remained soft due to lower origination volumes across
     the industry. Production totaled $2.4 billion, a decrease of $143
     million or 5.5%. Sales were down as a result. Sales across all
     channels totaled $2.4 billion, a decrease of $66.8 million or
     2.7%.

  -- Lower Mortgage Repurchase Expense. Although mortgage repurchase
     demands improved from last quarter, they remained at an elevated
     level. As a result, provision expense totaled $12.2 million this
     quarter, a decrease of $8.1 million from last quarter.

The board of directors determined earlier this year that the company needed to make significant changes to its operating plan to return to profitability and protect capital. As part of that effort, the board of directors voluntarily entered into a supervisory agreement with the bank's regulators at the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") after the close of the third quarter. Under the agreement, the board will work with management to develop and execute a written, multi-year plan based upon the change in strategy. The board and management are in the process of finalizing this plan, which centers largely on the tactical initiatives management already has underway to refocus the business on its banking and conforming mortgage competencies. Additional details on this agreement can be found later in this release under the heading "Regulatory Matters."

Unusual Charges

Current quarter results include the following unusual charges.


 -- Mortgage Servicing Rights Sale. As reported earlier, the
    company sold most of its MSRs associated with conventional,
    agency-eligible loans in two, separate transactions during
    the quarter that resulted in an after-tax loss of $19.3 million.
    The company also elected to liquidate $336 million of investment
    securities that it held as an economic on-balance sheet hedge
    resulting in an after-tax loss of $8.7 million on the sale of
    those securities. The charges related to these transactions
    equated to an after-tax loss of $28.1 million or $.61 per share.

 -- Impairment of Goodwill. Management expensed goodwill on two of
    the company's business units during the quarter. The company
    recorded $19.5 million, or $.42 per share, in after-tax goodwill
    impairment associated with its non-conforming mortgage business.
    It also recorded after-tax impairment of $2.4 million, or $.05
    per share, on a portion of the goodwill related to its ATM and
    merchant processing business.

Management Commentary

"This quarter's results reflect a company in transition," said Steven F. Herbert, chief executive officer. "It was very noisy with a number of unusual charges related to the steps we are taking to narrow our lines of business and refocus on our core banking and conforming mortgage operations. Our immediate focus is on stabilizing the company's operating profile, preserving capital and returning to profitability as quickly as possible. With that in mind, we moved quickly to execute on needed changes.

"During the quarter, we completed the sale of the majority of our MSR portfolio. Earlier this week, we announced transactions that are facilitating the exit of our non-conforming mortgage and RV, boat and aircraft financing operations. We have also made the decision to move forward with several other initiatives that are essential to our action plan. They include: implementing a plan to shut down FTI and the QuickPost service; completing a sale of our NetInsurance operation; consolidating our indirect, conforming mortgage loan operations into a central location; and downsizing our management team to reflect the more streamlined organization we are becoming.

"We currently estimate that these actions will be completed before year-end, and that one-time fourth quarter charges for all of them will total about $14 million to $15 million after tax. While we had hoped for more favorable outcomes, our plan fully contemplated the potential for the types of one-time, adverse impacts to tangible book value that we have seen.

"We are also considering options for our auto lending and ATM and merchant processing businesses. We estimate that a worst-case, one-time charge related to the options we are considering for the auto business would be about $1 million after tax. Given that most of the value of the ATM business is reflected as intangibles, tangible book value would be positively impacted if we were to move forward with any of the options being considered.

"So all-in it was a challenging quarter," Herbert concluded. "But it's exciting to be on the path forward again. I believe we have been able to implement our plan quickly and successfully. We remain on track to complete most of the changes before year end. Effectively all of it should be done by the end of the first quarter. And while we may not see the full benefits of our plan for a couple more quarters, I expect to see a significant improving trend in our operating profile going forward."

Retail Banking Segment Performance

Table 1 below details results in the company's Retail Banking segment. The segment reported a pre-tax loss of $1.7 million, compared to income of $788,000 from last quarter. Excluding QuickPost expenses, the decline is a result of the return to more normal provision expense levels from last quarter, as well as continued pressure on net interest income due to the flat yield curve and a smaller average asset base. This quarter we recorded a $2.4 million provision for credit losses compared to $972,000 in the previous quarter. The previous quarter's lower provision expense level was a result of a $1.9 million reduction in provision expense related to the sale of home equity loans held by the bank.

QuickPost expenses leveled off during the quarter at $3.3 million. While the company believes QuickPost is a useful service, NetBank can't afford losses at the current level. Management has decided to shut down this product as part of its effort to return to profitability. Excluding QuickPost, the segment's overall expense ratio remained relatively flat at 164 bps.

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


 -- The company's business finance operation remains a consistently
    profitable contributor. Pre-tax earnings for the quarter were flat
    at $3.2 million. Its production was off by $19.3 million or 33%
    to $39.2 million as competition from other lenders increased.

 -- Our auto lending business recorded pre-tax earnings of $410,000,
    a 79% increase over the previous quarter due to prudent expense
    management.

Financial Intermediary Segment Performance

Table 2 below details results in the company's Financial Intermediary segment. The segment reported a pre-tax loss of $39.5 million this quarter compared with a loss of $22.9 million last quarter. The challenging mortgage market continues to weigh on the segment's performance, as did some of the unusual charges outlined earlier in this release.

As discussed above, management chose to expense goodwill on the company's non-conforming mortgage business. We had been exploring our options with respect to exiting the business and concluded that the existing level of goodwill no longer accurately reflected the value of the operation's brand and other market intangibles. Subsequently, the company decided to shut down its non-conforming mortgage operation during the fourth quarter.

We saw a decrease in the demand for mortgage repurchases from last quarter, but they remained at an elevated level during the current quarter. Management continues to believe the issue is both market-driven and systemic, and is focused on taking the necessary steps to address it. We have been evaluating ways to improve internal processes and are currently in the process of centralizing our indirect, conforming mortgage operating centers. The company's regional operating centers in Jacksonville, Portland and St. Louis are being consolidated into the Columbia, S.C. facility. Management believes that by centralizing our operations, we can improve communication and better ensure improved loan quality.

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


 -- Conforming production totaled $2.0 billion, a decrease of
    $76.9 million or 3.7% due to seasonal factors. Conforming
    sales remained flat at $2.0 billion. The channel's revenue
    margin fell to 43 bps, a decline of 50 bps, as a result of
    decreased gain on sale margins.

 -- Non-conforming production fell by 13.8% to $413 million as
    management continued to narrow the focus of the operation and
    reduced capacity accordingly. Non-conforming sales fell in turn
    to $435 million, a decrease of 19.1%.

Transaction Processing Segment Performance

Table 3 below details results in the company's Transaction Processing segment. The segment recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.4 million, compared to income of $631,000 the previous quarter. The loss is a result of a $2.4 million after-tax impairment to a portion of goodwill that management elected to take during the quarter. As the number of ATMs in our network, along with our total number of merchant processing contracts, has decreased, management felt the existing level of goodwill no longer accurately reflected the value of the operation's brand and other market intangibles.

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 dropped by 3.7% to 8,427
    machines. The ATMs that dropped from the network were inactive
    locations. The total number of ATM transactions processed during
    the quarter rose again, this time by 2.5% to 7.8 million.

 -- The total number of merchant processing terminals in deployment
    declined by 10.3% to 1,956. The decline represents inactive
    terminals that we no longer report in our POS portfolio.

Servicing Asset Segment Performance

Table 4 below details results in the company's Servicing Asset segment. The segment reported a pre-tax loss of $51.3 million compared with a pre-tax loss of $16.7 million last quarter. The loss was primarily centered in the company's sale of the majority of its mortgage servicing rights as reported earlier in this release. As a result of the sale, the company eliminated significant earnings volatility going forward, and will no longer have the same exposure to impairment and hedge-related losses.

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


 -- The average unpaid balance of the MSRs in our portfolio declined
    by 20.3% to $10.2 billion as a result of the MSR sale. Since the
    sale closed on the final day of the quarter, the full effect
    won't be seen until the fourth quarter.

Regulatory Matters

The board determined earlier in the year that the company needed to alter its business strategy given the losses it was sustaining and directed management to outline the steps necessary to return to profitability and preserve capital. The board ultimately approved these steps once presented and appointed a new CEO to see the initiatives through. The company's new chairman along with the new CEO outlined the initiatives to the OTS in detail upon their appointment in early October. The OTS responded favorably to this effort, and, as part of that discussion, indicated that it would require a more formal framework to further document the company's objectives during this transitional period.

The company's board of directors subsequently entered into a supervisory agreement to proactively address the bank's recent financial performance and the impact that losses have had on the bank's capital position over the past several quarters. The agreement sets forth specific strategies and actions the board will take to improve the bank's performance and to ensure proper practices in critical areas of operation and compliance. The board believes execution of such an agreement is prudent at this stage in the company's development as a sign of its commitment to effective oversight.

Under the agreement, the board has charged management with preparing and executing a written, multi-year business plan designed to 1) remedy the bank's underperforming lines of business; 2) to increase the percentage of core deposits versus brokered funds; and 3) to reduce the level of loan repurchases in the company's indirect mortgage operations. The initiatives management already has underway to exit all businesses that are not essential to the company's banking and conforming mortgage operations form the backbone of the plan. Management is also focused on lowering operational costs and reducing overhead so it can improve the competitiveness of the bank's deposit rates in the marketplace and resume meaningful deposit growth. The company has already begun to orchestrate changes in executive management and is in the process of making additional staffing adjustments to streamline operations and cut costs.

The board will monitor and report to the OTS on the bank's adherence to the business plan. The board also agreed to seek prior approval and to modify the bank's business plan before engaging in any new activity or operation not contemplated in the approved version of the plan.

The agreement went into effect on November 6 and will remain in force until the board and the OTS are satisfied with the bank's progress in resolving the underlying performance issues.

Fourth Quarter Earnings Outlook

The fourth quarter will be another transitional quarter as we make the remaining necessary changes. The current analyst estimates for the company's fourth quarter results range from a loss of $.07 per share to a loss of $.28 per share. Given our current outlook, we are presently biased toward the lower end of the range. There are some risks to the downside, but we fully expect to see marked improvement over third quarter results. We will provide meaningful guidance as we move the through the quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC, including tangible book value and tangible book value per share for the third quarter of 2006. Tangible book value is defined as total shareholders' equity reduced by recorded goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is defined tangible book value divided by total common shares outstanding. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from total shareholders' equity our recorded goodwill and other intangible assets. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information may be helpful for those investors who seek to evaluate our total stockholders' equity without giving effect to goodwill and other intangible assets. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the company's business trends and to better understand the company's financial condition. In addition, the company may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with amounts presented in accordance with GAAP, including total shareholders' equity and goodwill and other intangible assets.

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.
