Chief Financial Officer David S. Fisher fisher, name of a large North American marten, Martes pennanti. This carnivorous, largely arboreal mammal is found in hardwood forests of Canada, the extreme N United States, and mountain ranges of the W United States.  stated, "For the first quarter, the growth numbers in our key benchmarks extend the very positive trends established last year. Deposit growth in checking and savings has been strong. We have seen good growth in our commercial operating and consumer loan portfolios on a year over year basis as well. Record mortgage volumes continued with loan production reaching $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2003, up 85% year over year."

Mr. Fisher concluded, "While Commercial Federal's core business continues to be strong, earnings for the balance of 2003 will be challenged by the compression in net interest margin and declining net interest income as the weakness in the economy continues. These conditions will not alter our emphasis on adding to our customer base and growing revenues in order to achieve our long-term performance goals."

Results for the Quarter:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $74.8 million for the first quarter, down 7% from the fourth quarter of 2002 and 12% from the first quarter of 2002. The net interest spread for the quarter fell to 2.56%, compared with 2.94% for the same period last year and 2.67% in the prior quarter.
