Net Interest Income
Changes in net interest income are primarily due to fluctuations in the student loan and other asset spread
discussed below, the growth of our student loan portfolio, and changes in the level of cash and investments we
hold on our balance sheet for liquidity purposes.
Average Balance Sheets — On-Balance Sheet
The following table reflects the rates earned on interest-earning assets and paid on interest-bearing
liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. This table reflects the net interest margin
for the entire Company for our on-balance sheet assets. It is included in the Lending business segment
discussion because the Lending business segment includes substantially all interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities.
