MILWAUKEE, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marshall & Ilsley Corporation
(NYSE: MI) today reported 2007 fourth quarter net income of $493.9 million, or
$1.83 per share, as compared to $205.4 million, or $0.79 per share, in the
fourth quarter of 2006. The Corporation also reported a 2007 fourth quarter
loss from continuing operations of $24.5 million, or $0.09 per share, as
compared to income from continuing operations of $161.4 million, or $0.62 per
share, in the fourth quarter of 2006. As reported for the fourth quarter of
2007, the $518.4 million difference between net income and income from
continuing operations reflects the income of Metavante as a discontinued
operation, and the gain and transaction expenses associated with the
separation as discussed below. As reported for the fourth quarter of 2006, the
$44.0 million difference between net income and income from continuing
operations only reflects the income of Metavante as a discontinued operation.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Corporation realized several
unusual events which impacted M&I's financial results for the quarter and year
ending December 31, 2007.
-- On November 1, 2007, the separation of Metavante Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: MV) from M&I was completed resulting in a gain to M&I of
$526 million. This tax-free gain was reported as a component of
discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2007. There were also
after-tax costs of $19 million related to the separation transaction in
the same period. M&I received a contribution of $1.665 billion in cash
in the separation transaction, which improved net interest income and
strengthened M&I's capital position.
-- On November 16, 2007, M&I completed the sale of its three branches in
the Tulsa, Oklahoma market resulting in an after-tax gain of
$17 million. M&I determined that exiting the Tulsa market was a better
allocation of resources as compared to the costs of further expansion
in that market.
-- On December 17, 2007, M&I retired $1 billion of Puttable Reset
Securities ("PURS"). Given current market conditions, M&I retired the
PURS in order to lower M&I's borrowing costs going forward. M&I
incurred a one-time, after-tax charge of $48 million in connection with
the retirement of this debt.
-- M&I accrued an after-tax liability of $17 million in connection with
its share of the proposed settlement of the American Express antitrust
litigation against Visa and other Visa litigation matters. While M&I
is not a named defendant in any of these lawsuits, M&I and other Visa
member banks are obligated to share in losses in connection with
certain lawsuits under Visa's by-laws.
-- M&I made a one-time donation to the M&I Foundation, Inc. to support
charitable works in its communities. The Corporation realized an
after-tax charge of $16 million in connection with this contribution.
-- After conducting an intensified review of the construction and
development portfolio with a special emphasis on the housing sector,
M&I posted fourth quarter charge-offs of $192 million and a loan loss
provision of $235 million.
Return on average assets for the fourth quarter was 3.30 percent, as
compared to 1.47 percent for the same period in 2006. Return on average equity
was 27.3 percent this quarter as compared to 13.5 percent for the fourth
quarter of 2006.
2007 Fourth Quarter Key Performance Highlights

from the same period last year.

average loans and leases outstanding this quarter, and $15.0 million a year
ago or 0.14 percent of total average loans and leases. At December 31, 2007

and Assets Under Administration ended at $105.7 billion.

quarter. When adjusted for the charitable contribution, debt termination
expense, VISA accruals, and branch sales, the efficiency ratio was
53.7 percent, up 1.2 percentage points from the same period last year.

from continuing operations only reflects the income of Metavante as a
