JPMorgan Chase beats by $0.09, beats on revs :
- Reports Q1 (Mar) earnings of $1.35 per share, $0.09 better than the Capital IQ Consensus of $1.26; revenues fell 3.7% year/year to $23.2 bln vs the $22.87 bln Capital IQ Consensus.
- Tangible book value per share of $48.96, up 8%.
- Average core loans up 17% YoY and 3% QoQ.
- Net interest income was $11.7 billion, up $723 million, primarily driven by loan growth and the impact of higher rates on cash, partially offset by lower investment securities.
- Provision for credit losses was $1.8 billion, compared with $959 million in the prior-year quarter, predominantly due to reserve increases in the current quarter versus reserve releases in the prior-year quarter. The reserve increases in the current quarter reflected an increase in wholesale reserves of $713 million, primarily driven by downgrades,including $529 million in Oil & Gas and Natural Gas Pipelines, and $162 million in Metals & Mining (Guidance was for approx $500 mln in Oil and $100 mln in Gas).
- C & IB Unit
- Banking revenue was $2.4 billion, down 19%.
- Investment Banking revenue was $1.2 billion, down 24%, on lower debt and equity underwriting fees, partially offset by higher advisory fees.
- Lending revenue was $302 million, down 31%, reflecting mark-to-market losses on hedges of accrual loans and lower gains on securities received from restructurings.
- Markets & Investor Services revenue was $5.7 billion, down 13%, driven by lower Markets revenue, down 11%.
- Fixed Income Markets revenue was down 13%, reflecting an increase in the Rates business which was more than offset by lower performance across other asset classes.
- Equity Markets revenue was down 5%, reflecting weaker results in Americas derivatives, partially offset by strong results in Asia derivatives.
- JPM plans to increase capital return in the first half of 2016 as the board approved an incremental $1.9 billion in share buybacks.
