01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 10-K/A filed August 14, 2002. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This filing is an amendment to Capital One Financial Corporation's (COF) 2001 Form 10-K, primarily correcting "pro forma" net income and earnings per share disclosures related to stock-based compensation (Note F, SFAS No. 123).
The core historical financial performance and position remain unchanged. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, Capital One demonstrated significant growth across key financial metrics. Total assets grew substantially to $28.2 billiona, up from $18.9 billion in 2000.
This growth was fueled by a strong increase in interest-bearing deposits and senior notes. Net income rose to $642 millionb from $470 million in the prior year, with diluted earnings per share increasing to $2.91 from $2.24. The company also experienced robust growth in its loan portfolio, with consumer loans increasing significantly, and a corresponding rise in the allowance for loan losses.
Non-interest income, particularly from servicing and securitizations, also showed substantial growth, contributing significantly to overall profitability. The company maintained strong capital ratios, well above regulatory requirements, indicating a solid financial foundation. Investors should note the company's strategic focus on growth, evident in its expanding asset base and loan portfolio, coupled with its robust non-interest income streams.
The growth in deposits and borrowings suggests effective funding strategies to support expansion. While the provision for loan losses increased, this is commensurate with the portfolio growth. The amendment regarding pro forma disclosures does not alter the reported historical financial results, but investors should be aware of this clarification.

How did Capital One's financial performance change from 2000 to 2001?
Capital One experienced substantial growth. Total assets increased by over 50% to $28.2 billion. Net income rose by approximately 37% to $642 million, and diluted earnings per share grew from $2.24 to $2.91. The loan portfolio expanded significantly, and non-interest income also showed robust growth.
What is the significance of the increase in the allowance for loan losses?
The allowance for loan losses increased significantly from $527 million in 2000 to $840 million in 2001. This increase is largely in line with the substantial growth in the company's loan portfolio, particularly consumer loans. It reflects management's assessment of potential credit risks associated with this expansion and indicates a proactive approach to reserving for potential future losses.
How is the company managing its growth and funding it?
The company is funding its growth through a combination of increased interest-bearing deposits, which rose significantly to $12.8 billion in 2001, and substantial increases in senior notes and other borrowings. This indicates an effective strategy to secure the necessary capital to support its expanding operations and loan origination activities.
