JPMorgan Financial Results Decline: EPS at 7-Quarter Low


JPMorgan Summary Q4 2011 JP Morgan's Q4 2011 financial results declined both QoQ and YoY. JPMorgan has definitely rebounded from the depths of the Great Recession and USA Financial System Crisis in 2008 and 2009, has adequate capital, and is profitable. A decrease in noninterest revenues resulted in the drop in financial performance and offset an impressive decrease in operating expenses (noninterest expense). Trading income, mortgage fees, and other fees and income were the cause of the decline in noninterest revenues. Core banking results, reflected in net interest income, are good. Annual return on assets are a respectable +0.85%, but decreasing. Whether financial performance can be accelerated anytime soon is the question and unknown. CEO Jamie Dimon was frank and admitted financial performance was "modestly disappointing".


JPMorgan Income Statement Q4 2011 Financial performance declined QoQ and YoY, but is adequate. Q4 2011 Net Revenues were $21.47B, Net Income was $3.73B, and Earnings Per Share was $0.90. For QoQ, these were down -9.65%, -12.53%, and -11.76%, respectively. For YoY, these were down -17.73%, -22.83%, and -19.64%, respectively. Both the Operating Margin of 22.11% and Net Margin of 17.36% declined QoQ and YoY. The operating expense ratio of 59.60% increased QoQ and YoY and continues too high.


JPMorgan Balance Sheet Q4 2011 Overall financial position is adequate and slightly stronger QoQ and slightly weaker YoY. JPMorgan's "fortress balance sheet" of $2.266 trillion in total assets maintains an adequate capital ratio of 8.10% and adequate Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Common ratios of 12.3% and 10.00%, respectively. Total assets were down -1.02% QoQ. Return on Assets of 0.85% is adequate and increased YoY but decreased QoQ.
