During the first quarter of 2008, operating results benefited from profitability in the Company’s Loan Production sector, from its investment in mortgage servicing rights^(a), and from its Balboa Life & Casualty insurance business. However, these results were more than offset by materially higher credit-related costs during the quarter. Increased credit-related charges were driven by increased levels of mortgage delinquencies, defaults and loss severities, as well as downward revisions in expectations of home prices relative to prior quarters.

⁽²⁾ These securities were retained in securitizations and are backed by nonprime, home equity and non-conforming prime loans and are carried at estimated fair value.

The credit-related charges in the first quarter of 2008 are further discussed below:

· Provision for credit losses on the Company’s investment in residential loans was $1.5 billion during the quarter, compared to $925 million last quarter and $158 million in the first quarter of 2007. Charge-offs for the first quarter of 2008 were $606 million, compared to $283 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $39 million for the first quarter of 2007. The reserve for credit losses was increased by approximately $1 billion to $3.4 billion at the end of the quarter.^(b)

· Provision for representations and warranty claims was $456 million during the quarter, compared to a recovery of $58 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and a $42 million provision in the first quarter of 2007. Charge-offs related to claims settled during the quarter were $129 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $5 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $43 million for the first quarter of 2007. The sequential quarter build in the representations and warranty claims liability was approximately $320 million, increasing it to $1 billion at March 31, 2008.

· Impairment of credit-sensitive retained interests was $441 million during the quarter, compared to impairment of $852 million last quarter and $366 million in the first quarter of 2007. Of the $441 million in impairment charges, $347 million related to home equity securitizations and $67 million related to subprime residuals. The carrying value of the Company’s credit-sensitive residual assets at March 31, 2008 was $483 million, including $207 million related to subprime loans and $234 million related to home equity loans. The liability for estimated losses on future draws related to HELOC rapid amortization amounted to $798 million at March 31, 2008, which compares to $704 million at December 31, 2007 and no liability existed at March 31, 2007.

· Provision for captive mortgage reinsurance claims was $236 million, compared to a provision of $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and a reversal of $60 million in the first quarter of 2007. The liability for future claims increased to $385 million at March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $134 billion of mortgage loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio are covered by such mortgage reinsurance contracts, and the Company’s maximum aggregate losses under the reinsurance contracts are limited to $1.1 billion.

· Valuation adjustments were $390 million during the quarter. Further disruption in the capital markets and declining liquidity for non-agency mortgage assets persisted and credit spreads on those assets continued to widen. As a result, senior and mezzanine securities retained in prior securitizations and non-agency inventory subject to fair value adjustments were written down. Senior and mezzanine securities were written down by $202 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $66 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and no charge was taken in the first quarter of 2007. Loan inventory was written down in the amount of $188 million in the first quarter of 2008, which compares to write-downs of $428 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $253 million in the first quarter of 2007.

^(b) The reserve for credit losses and the asset for estimated amounts recoverable from pool mortgage insurance are shown separately on the balance sheet. The March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 balances of the asset were $613 million and $556 million, respectively.

BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

Mortgage Banking — Loan Production

The Loan Production sector is comprised of the following distribution channels: consumer-direct lending through Countrywide’s retail home loan offices, call center operations and the Internet; wholesale lending through a network of mortgage brokers; and correspondent lending which buys closed loans from other financial institutions such as independent mortgage companies, commercial banks, savings and loans and credit unions. The sector also includes the mortgage banking activities of Countrywide Bank.

Pre-tax earnings in the Loan Production sector were $232 million in the first quarter, compared to a pre-tax loss of $507 million in the prior quarter and pre-tax earnings of $171 million in the first quarter of 2007. The following summarizes the operational and financial highlights in the Loan Production sector for the first quarter of 2008:

· On a consolidated basis, the Company’s loan originations totaled $73 billion in the first quarter of 2008, of which $67 billion was originated for sale and $6 billion was originated for investment. This compares to $61 billion originated for sale and $8 billion originated for investment in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Investor Relations

4500 Park Granada · Calabasas, CA 91302 · 818-225-3550

http://www.countrywide.com

· Average daily applications were $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2008, up 27 percent from the fourth quarter of 2007.

· Pricing margins on loans originated for sale (i.e., margins at the time of lock) remained stable or improved slightly during the quarter relative to the prior quarter. However, gain on sale margins were negatively impacted by significant secondary market volatility during the quarter.

· Operating expenses were up $28 million, but down 7 basis points as a percentage of production. The sequential quarter dollar increase is primarily driven by a reduced benefit in the first quarter of 2008 from SFAS 91 deferral due to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 159 on most held-for-sale loans.

· The Company’s adoption of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 aided first quarter profitability by $358 million. The adoption of this accounting standard requires the Company to book “gain on sale” at the time of loan lock versus loan sale as was previously the practice.

· The Company recorded write-downs of $188 million resulting from credit-spread widening during the quarter on non-agency fixed-rate mortgages and on loans that had been previously securitized but on which the Company did not receive sales treatment pursuant to SFAS 140. As a result of first quarter spread widening and lessened liquidity for these loans, management has determined that any new production of non-agency fixed-rate loans will be originated solely for the Company’s investment portfolio.

Mortgage Banking — Loan Servicing

The Loan Servicing sector includes the performance of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), interest-only securities and other mortgage banking segment investments which include: credit-sensitive subprime and home equity residuals; Mortgage Banking HFI loans; and senior and mezzanine mortgage-backed securities which remain unsold from prior securitizations. Countrywide also manages a financial hedge within the Loan Servicing sector to mitigate negative valuation changes in MSRs and retained interests.

Before the impact of credit charges, Loan Servicing sector pre-tax earnings were $442 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $969 million and $256 million in the fourth and first quarters of 2007, respectively. The Loan Servicing sector incurred a pre-tax loss of $818 million in the first quarter of 2008, which compares to a loss of $139 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The sequential quarter comparison was impacted by the following factors:

· Earnings from the Company’s investment in mortgage serving rights were impacted by lower interest rates during the quarter and related increases in prepayment speeds. This resulted in an increase in the write-down of the MSR asset related to “realization of expected MSR cash flows” from $659 million in the fourth

Investor Relations

quarter of 2007 to $754 million in the first quarter of 2008. Prepayment speeds on the MSR asset approximated 13 percent in the first quarter, compared to 11 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007. However, while up from the previous quarter, prepayment speeds continue to be slow relative to historic speeds in similar interest rate environments due to slowing housing conditions and lesser credit availability in the mortgage markets.

· While the Company’s servicing hedge applicable to the MSR asset performed favorably during the quarter resulting in hedge gains exceeding MSR impairment by $109 million, the valuation change on the MSR asset, net of hedge gains, in the prior quarter was a gain of $451 million.

· Impairment charges of $444 million applicable to the Company’s credit-sensitive retained interests, net of hedge, also negatively impacted Loan Servicing sector earnings with the majority of the impact related to the retained interests from home equity securitizations, including impairment losses related to HELOC rapid amortization. The impairment on retained interests was driven primarily by worsening trends and expectations for delinquencies and home prices and the resulting increases in estimates of future defaults and credit losses. During the first quarter of 2008, Countrywide recorded impairment losses of $154 million related to future draw obligations on the home equity securitization deals that have entered or are probable to enter rapid amortization status. This compares to rapid amortization-related impairment losses of $704 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s investments in credit-sensitive retained interests at March 31, 2008 was $483 million, compared to $771 million at December 31, 2007, and $1.8 billion at March 31, 2007.

· The provision expense applicable to estimated future representations and warranty claims was increased from the fourth quarter of 2007 by $463 million. The increase is primarily attributable to worsening trends and expectations for delinquencies and home prices and the related increases in the projections of future defaults to which representation and warranty claims are correlated. As a result, the reserve for such future claims at March 31, 2008 approximated $1 billion.

· The loan loss provision applicable to the Mortgage Banking segment loan portfolio was $209 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $238 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $7 million for the first quarter of 2007.

· The fair value of senior and mezzanine securities declined $202 million during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $66 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and there was no such decline for the first quarter of 2007. The downward change in fair value was driven by further disruption in the capital markets and declining liquidity for non-agency mortgage assets, which resulted in wider credit spreads on those assets.

Banking

The Banking segment includes Banking Operations (primarily the fee and investment activities of Countrywide Bank, FSB) and Countrywide Warehouse Lending, a provider of mortgage inventory financing to independent mortgage bankers.

During the first quarter of 2008, Banking Operations incurred a pre-tax loss of $925 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $262 million last quarter and pre-tax income of $294 million in the first quarter of 2007. The sequential quarter comparison was impacted by the following factors:

· The provision for credit losses in the first quarter increased 91 percent from the fourth quarter provision to $1.3 billion, driven by the worsening trends and expectations for delinquencies and home prices and the related increase in the projection of future charge-offs during the quarter. During the first quarter of 2008, net charge-offs in Banking Operations were $485 million, which compares to $192 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $33 million in the first quarter of 2007. The allowance for credit losses in the Banking Operations sector at March 31, 2008 grew to $3.1 billion from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2007. The estimated amounts recoverable from pool mortgage insurance increased to $613 million at the end of the quarter from $556 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007.

· Net interest income increased modestly from $627 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 to $633 million in the first quarter of 2008. Although the average balance of interest-earning assets increased by 6 percent, the net interest margin declined 16 basis points from the fourth quarter to 2.25 percent in the first quarter of 2008. This decline resulted from reductions in interest rates, which impacted the average yield on

http://www.countrywide.com

interest-earning assets and was not fully offset by reductions in funding costs, and a higher balance of non-performing loans.

· Total deposits were $64 billion at March 31, 2008, which compares to $61 billion at December 31, 2007. Retail deposits totaled $38 billion at March 31, 2008, which compares to $33 billion at December 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank opened eight new Financial Centers, bringing its total to 201 at March 31, 2008.

Capital Markets

The Capital Markets segment includes a registered securities broker-dealer, a distressed-asset manager, a commercial real estate finance group and related businesses. Financial results for the Capital Markets segment are noted below:

Pre-tax earnings	$	1	$	118	$	132
Conduit loans sold	$	436	$	1,687	$	7,434

The pre-tax earnings in the Capital Markets segment were $1 million in the first quarter, which compares to $118 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $132 million in the first quarter of 2007. The sequential quarter decrease was primarily due to a reduction in revenues resulting from the continued disruption in the capital markets and declines in the value of non-agency securities and loans. The sequential quarter difference in revenue was also impacted by a SFAS 140 benefit of $104 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to a benefit of $38 million in the first quarter of 2008, which resulted from the sale of certain securities allowing sale accounting to be achieved.

Insurance

Countrywide’s Insurance segment includes Balboa Life & Casualty, a provider of property, life and casualty insurance; and Balboa Reinsurance Company, a captive mortgage guaranty reinsurance company.

http://www.countrywide.com

Balboa Reinsurance, which resulted from an increase in its provision for mortgage reinsurance claims of $215 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, Balboa Reinsurance was not required to pay any claims under its reinsurance contracts, but increased its projection for future claims payments, driven primarily by a worsening housing market and resulting higher actual and projected default rates. The liability at March 31, 2008 for future insurance claims payments approximated $385 million.

The sequential quarter increase in pre-tax earnings at Balboa Life & Casualty was primarily the result of continued growth in net earned premiums, lower catastrophe losses, and lower non-catastrophe loss ratios.
