Chase Auto Finance Earnings Up
NEW YORK -- JP Morgan Chase's auto finance operating earnings were $85 million, up from $49 million last year. The increase was mainly due to the acquisition of Bank One. Total revenue of $397 million reflected a competitive operating environment, which contributed to narrower spreads on new loans and reduced origination volumes.

Total revenue of $397 million reflected a competitive operating environment, which contributed to narrower spreads on new loans and reduced origination volumes.
The company reported an overall 2004-third-quarter net income of $1.4 billion, compared to net income of $1.6 billion for the third quarter of 2003. The quarterly results include $741 million in after-tax charges related to the merger with Bank One. Excluding the charges, operating earnings would have been $2.2 billion. Prior year and second quarter 2004 reported results do not include Bank One. Refer to the "Merger and other financial information" section of this press release for additional information concerning the merger.
"I am pleased with the progress to-date on merger integration," said William B. Harrison, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "But current operating results were below expectations primarily due to weak trading results in the Investment Bank. However, I am pleased with the strong results and growth exhibited in the Retail Banking and Credit Card businesses."
