Highlight of Business Operations:

A $6.9 million increase in interest income on available-for-sale securities, primarily related to the growth in average balances of $4.3 billion due to new investments, which were purchased as a result of our continued deposit growth. This increase was partially offset by lower investment yields available on new purchases of securities in the current rate environment and the effect of sales of higher-yielding securities in the second quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2010 (which resulted in pre-tax gains of $37.3 million and $23.6 million, respectively).

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $992.5 million and $2.2 billion, respectively, of our cash and due from banks was deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank and was earning interest at the Federal Funds target rate, and interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions were $461.3 million and $246.3 million, respectively.

Investment securities totaled $10.6 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $2.0 billion, or 22.6 percent, compared to $8.6 billion at December 31, 2010. Our investment securities portfolio consists of both an available-for-sale securities portfolio, which represents interest-earning investment securities, and a non-marketable securities portfolio, which primarily represents investments managed as part of our funds management business.

Our available-for-sale portfolio is a fixed income investment portfolio that is managed to maximize portfolio yield over the long-term in a manner consistent with our liquidity, credit diversification and asset/liability strategies. Available-for-sale securities were $9.6 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 21.7 percent, compared to $7.9 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to purchases of new investments of $5.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by sales of $1.4 billion and paydowns of $2.0 billion in securities. The purchases of new investments of $5.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were primarily comprised of fixed-rate agency-issued mortgage securities. The sales of securities of $1.4 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were comprised entirely of agency-issued mortgage securities.

Cash used for investing activities was $2.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash outflows included purchases of available-for-sale securities of $5.0 billion, a net increase in loans of $792.2 million, purchases of non-marketable securities of $170.6 million and purchases of premises and equipment of $21.6 million. Net cash inflows included proceeds from the sales, maturities and paydowns of available-for-sale securities of $3.5 billion, sales or distributions of non-marketable securities of $88.1 million and the recovery of $21.6 million from loans previously charged-off.
