- Presentation slides
- The path to about $1B begins with interest rates, and a normal interest rate environment will boost revenue by $240M. Next are loan loss provisions which cost $70M in the last year falling to $0 as the legacy portfolio runs off. Servicing those legacy assets cost $43M last year, and that too should fall to $0.
- FDIC expenses cost E*Trade $93M last year and that's expected to fall to $47M as the company's risk profile improves.
- Finally, there's corporate interest expense of $114M dropping to $0 as excess bank capital is upstreamed to the parent and used to pay off corporate debt.
- Alongside the presentation, E*Trade today showed August DARTs of 146,165, down 5% from July and 1% from a year ago. Additionally, E*Trade Bank was approved to send another $75M upstairs to the parent company.
